[They've been pro heroes for a while now, injuries aren't anything new considering their field. Villain attacks are dangerous, no matter how prepared you think you are.
This time they had to split up and deal with the villains and the civilians. The villain was longer ranged than Izuku could manage safely, so it fell to Shouto do fight them while Izuku gathered up bystanders and made sure they were out of the line of fire.
He saw Shouto get put into an ambulance and felt his heart jump into this throat. It's nothing new, they've gone through this plenty of times. He just keeps telling himself that, even if his heart is pounding- he should've stayed, he should have been by Shouto's side, they're better as a team- all of that runs through Izuku's head.
He's already on the train to get to the hospital. He's seen that ambulance before, he knows where it goes. Hell, he's usually the one in the ambulance. He just can't help worrying. He's probably overdoing it- they've always come out of this fine. But still, he practically jumps when he hears Shouto's ringtone and fumbles to take it as quickly as possible.]
Shouto? Are you okay? I'm getting there as fast as I can. Is there anything you need? I can stop and get it for you?
I need you to take a very deep breath. [ Are the first words out of Shouto, as he lets the medic poke and prod at him to make sure he doesn't have any other injuries besides the ones that had sent him to the hospital. ] In - hold it -
[ Which lets him take a moment to hold his own breath, to keep him from hissing when a particularly nasty looking bruise gets prodded at a little too much, tender where it's blossomed already. But he gets it, they have to check for broken or fractured ribs. ] And breathe out.
[ Because he doesn't want Izuku to hyperventilate while he's on the train, overthinking when it's just him, when he doesn't know the damage or what happened. This is part of the reason why he doesn't like splitting up, himself, but this time it had been necessary. Sometimes their skills are better used apart, despite how well they work together, and that's part of why they work so well together. They can cover more ground than a lot of other hero pairs, both separate and together.
But that doesn't change the fact that, apart, they get hurt a lot more than they do when they're working side-by-side. Usually it's Izuku, which has primed Shouto for this, but terrifies him pretty frequently like it does Izuku now. ]
I need stitches, but it's nothing permanently damaging, and they're checking for fractures now.
[He takes in a breath as Shouto directs him- hold- breathe out. He does feel considerably more in control of himself now that he's gone through just that much.
If Shouto wasn't hurt, he might have laughed. They know each other so well after so many years of working together. God, he hates having to split up when they meant to deal with the villain together, but it happens sometimes.
He winces at the stitches, but that's not too bad all things considered.]
Alright. You'll let me know, right?
[It's a little silly to ask, they always tell each other about the bad injuries.]

Do you need anything, Shouto?
