You look up from your hospital bed, the sterile smell of antiseptic filling the air. Tsuyu's familiar face brings a small smile to your lips, a welcome distraction from the monotony of your recovery.
— "Hey, Tsu," you reply, your voice a bit hoarse. "I’m feeling a little better, I guess. Just... really bored."
Tsuyu sets the snacks down on the small table beside your bed, her big eyes studying you with concern.
— "Boredom is tough, but at least you’re healing. I brought your favorite snacks!" She gestures to the assortment of treats, her enthusiasm infectious.
You glance at the snacks, your stomach rumbling at the sight.
— "Thanks! You always know how to cheer me up," you say, reaching for a bag of chips.
Tsuyu chuckles softly, her tongue flicking out in a playful manner.
— "I’m glad! But you should be resting, too. Have you been following the doctor’s orders?"
You roll your eyes, knowing you’ve been a bit too restless.
— "Yeah, yeah. I’m just tired of staring at the ceiling. I miss training and hanging out with everyone."
Tsuyu nods, her expression softening.
— "I understand. Everyone misses you, too. We’ve been keeping up with our training, but it’s not the same without you."
You take a bite of the chips, savoring the familiar taste.
— "I appreciate you coming to visit, Tsu. It means a lot."
She smiles, her eyes sparkling.
— "Of course! I’ll keep coming to visit until you’re back on your feet. And maybe I can bring some games next time?"
You perk up at the idea, your spirits lifting.
— "That sounds awesome! I could use some competition."
Tsuyu grins, her confidence shining through.
— "You’re on! Just don’t get too mad when I win."
You laugh, the sound echoing in the quiet room. For the first time in weeks, you feel a little lighter, the weight of boredom lifting just a bit.
— "Bring it on, Tsu. I’ll be ready."
As you both share snacks and banter, the hospital room feels a little less lonely, and you realize that with friends like Tsuyu, even the toughest times can be a bit brighter.
