《Unstable》Chapter 5

Shinsou's hand was soft despite being covered in scars. His arms were also covered in scars.
The first time I noticed them was when he asked me to get him another shirt. He had ran out and forgot to ask the nurse to do his laundry. Then I saw them when he wasn't wearing a shirt. I winced the first time I saw all his scars. It hurt looking at each one. Imagining how each one had its reason and how maybe some were accidents not self inflicted.
Should I ask him about them. No that's a bad idea. But I want to know. UGH. I can't just ask Hitoshi. I kept looking at his scars. I caressed his hand. He moved a bit in his sleep. I squeezed his hand in response.
I was also feeling tired. I slowly let go of Hitoshi's hand. I looked over to make sure he was ok. He looked peaceful. I was tired but not tired enough to sleep. I walked to the door and looked back one last time. He was definitely asleep. I closed the door behind me and left the room. I walked back to the dayroom.
Everyone was integrating the noob except for Shouto who just sat there blankly staring at the television.
AAAAAAAHHHHH. To many people. I can't keep up. To many fucking people. I was being swarmed by all of unit six except for the guy with a scar over his eye. They all didn't ask questions at the same time but their was just to many of them.
"Hey Izuku got a nickname," asked Uraraka.
"No."
"Then we should give him one," suggested Kamanari.
"DEKU," yelled Katsuki.
Everyone turned around to see him yell at me. He looked pissed. Somewhat concerned but mostly angry. Was he upset with me? Did I do something wrong earlier? I'm dead the scariest looking guy in the unit is mad at me. He walked up to the circle around me.

"Hitoshi is resting so don't fucking bother him got it," he said angrily.
"Umm y-yeah ok," I said looking down. I was to scared to look him.
Katsuki then went to go sit down and watch TV. He asked for the remote. Surprised they don't have it in the unit.
"Deku," said Uraraka,"I like it. What do you guys think? What do you think Izuku?"
"I like it too," said Jirou. Momo nodded to agree.
"Deku sounds ok I'll go by Deku from now on."
"Tch. How stupid making an insult your nickname. How dumb are you," said Katsuki.
"Shut it Blasty."
We all looked over to Shouto. So he does talk. He had just insulted my scary roommate. That was a ballsy move. Katsuki didn't do anything. He just glared at him and called him a half n' half bastard. Shouto just rolled his eyes at him. They both went back to staring at the TV.
I looked outside the window in our unit. There were older looking patients down in a patio. They were smoking and one woman was crouched on the floor rocking back and forth. She looked beyond broken. Oh God am I that messed up? What the fuck am I doing here. There was a mental health worker down there with them.
"That's the adult unit,"said Mina.
"They're allow to smoke?"
"Yeah," she sighed,"which is so fucking unfair. Like I want my weed! I need my shit too!"
"Do we get to go outside?"
"Not that I know,"she said,"I haven't been outside since I got here."
"That sucks."
"I know," she groaned.
I stared out the window for a bit longer. It was really cold and the window was the only warm thing in the whole room. I leaned up agaisnt it. Mina went to sit at the table. She got out a deck of cards. They were really nice. The cards were pink instead of blue. Even the face cards and jokers were pink. She set them out.

"Any one wanna play," she asked.
"Sure,"said Kirishima.
"What are we playing,"asked Uraraka.
"What do you guy wanna play," said Mina.
Jirou looked at Momo. She was definitely looking down at her chest.
"How about flash poker," she said smiling at Momo. The other girl turned red.
"Oh hell yeah," shouted Mina.
"Hey Deku ya know how to play," she shouted at me.
"No."
"Then I'll teach ya."
"I would strongly advise against this,"said Iida,"incase you all have forgetten there are cameras in here."
"Calm down Iida we've played before it'll be fine."
"Very well but I will not be apart of this and I won't be the look out again."
"Hey Sho," yelled Kirishima,"could you be the look out?"
Shouto turned his head in our direction. He noded and went back to looking at the TV.
Mina motioned for me to come closer. Iida left the room most likely to go back to his room. Almost the entire unit was playing even Katsuki. Mina started shuffling cards. She was setting them up too. She handed us each two cards and placed five cards facing up on the table.
"Ok the rules are simple,"she said.
Just then a tall figure walked into the room with a menatl health worker. He was tall, blond and muscular. He wore a suit and had papers in his hand.
"Can you guys please clean up it's time for group," said Midnight.
"Yes,"said the tall man,"for I am here."
