The 9 Millimeter Kiss

Chapter 3

N-no way. It wasn't him at all.

Yuki thought, speed walking back home.

Did the cashiers see anything? Am I beginning to see things? I know i didn't sleep well last night but that was one night-

Yuki stopped walking. He stood still trying to let his head comprehend the thoughts running miles through his brain.

"I mean," he thought about it for another minute before he began walking again, this time at a slower pace.

"It's not entirely impossible." Turning a corner he thought about what type of quirks would allow that to be possible.

"Inflation?" He questioned out loud reaching his door.

No, not quite.

Yuki decided to ignore what he had just seen and had dinner delivered for the night before resuming his studies of the human body.

Yuki's quirk allowed him to heal almost any living thing. Reptiles, sea life and plants in general proved more difficult. Mammals were the simplest to heal. And he could not, what so ever heal insects.

It had taken him a while to figure out the more specifics he knew about any injury the faster he could heal. A broken bone? Cool. Was it greenstick? Spiral? He had to know as much as a doctor knew if he wanted to improve the speed at which he was healing.

Maybe it wasn't that he passed out after those 5 patients. Maybe there was a time limit. It had taken him 12 hours to help the surgical doctor in the operation room. He had asked to help so he could test his limits. 12 hours and 5 intense surgeries later he passed out. He woke up 28 hours later with the most painful headache he'd experience.

But that was 2 years ago. Ever since then upon discovering he could heal quicker with more medical knowledge, he threw himself into intense studying.

He started with the basics. Blood vessels, muscles, bones, and external injuries. Then the internal organs, their tissues, the functions and what type of damages it could get. The heart, lungs, brain, and spine were the main ones he focused on going deeper into studying them and sometimes even popping in at the morgue to ask if he could inspect the bodies.

No normal 15 year old would do that...

Thanks to the doctors and interning medical students he was able to lay his hand on some school textbooks ONLY for medical students. He had been approached by plenty of people asking for assistance on certain patients but he was still a student. Plus he had to keep himself in good health at all times specifically 48hrs before a grand healing session.

He's a high maintenance person just because of his quirk. Had he had a different one he wouldn't even be agreeing to U.A. or eating the healthiest meals he takes hours to prepare.

It's a pain. But it's worth it.

Looking up from the textbook he saw it was 3:55 AM.

I should probably place my order online...

Yuki slowly stood up from his wheely chair and stretched followed by a couple of cracking joints.

Humans? Check.

Yuki walked over to his bedroom and began to change into his sweats and fuzzy socks.

Reptiles? Or Mammals?

He threw his dirty clothes at the basket and opened his closet.

"I have to visit the vet. I haven't gone in a while..."
