"I Also...Have Something I Wish to Protect."
Short Round
Just one of those things
Uchiyama Isamu
"Red's my favorite color. Probably even more now, because you look really good in that sweater."
โTsubaki, you look very nice in that outfit. Right, Uchi?โ Uchi had leaned back in his chair, deep in concentrated thought. He'd been sure his sushi record had been 13 kilos, but he'd been convincing himself that he could round it up to 14. 16, counting appetizers. Rei's words jarred him so much he nearly tipped over onto his back. Precariously regaining his balance, Uchi smiled nervously and nodded vigorously. "Oh y-yeah, definitely. " Lots of awesome things were red. Bloodied enemies, beef, strawberries, roses, Christmas...And Tsubaki, in that sweater. Thank goodness for Rei, that was probably a way better way to kick things off. Shooting Rei a quick glance of thanks, Uchi turned his attention back to Tsubaki.
"Most guys don't have the face to rock a buzzcut but it looks good on you... Mind if I touch?" Haha, huh? Wait, what'd she just say? Before he had a chance to react or respond, Tsubaki's hand was already extending towards his head. Time moved in slow motion; a bead of sweat formed on Uchi's temple as his mind raced to figure out what to do. Before he knew it, her hand was resting on his head, and she was gently running her fingers through his extremely short hair. She had a very light touch, her fingers almost tickling his scalp. Uchi relaxed and closed his eyes instinctively, enjoying the head pats. Damn, this must be what dogs feel like when they get head rubs. No wonder they like it so much, jeez. Usually, people didn't make comments about his hair, mostly due to the fact that there wasn't much to comment on. But Tsubaki had! After a moment, she stopped, thanked him, and spent a few moments eating. Uchi decided to do the same, remembering his hunger. His thoughts raced while he fumbled for a napkin. I can't be the only flustered one, right? She even said I was rocking the buzzcut. That has to mean something, right?
Picking up a dumpling with a shaky pair of chopsticks, Uchi chewed thoughtfully before swallowing. Although his focus hadn't been on the food, it was excellent. And it cleared his mind. Who'd cooked this? The giant with spiky black hair? Well, the guy knew what he was doing, that was for sure.
Anyway, back to Tsubaki. Now that he thought about it, Uchi decided to assume that she was probably just being friendly to him. Sure, she'd complimented his looks, and blushed, and patted his head. But maybe she just treated everyone that way. Uchi ate another couple of dumplings, his cheeks beginning to resemble a chipmunks. After all, they had basically just met through a class assignment, and there was no reason to jump to conclusions. Plus, he didn't really know anything about her. Like, at all. But I'd really like to learn. Keep it cool, talk like a normal person, and try to forget the head pats. Don't get ahead of yourself. Coming back to reality just in time to hear Tsubaki's gentle voice inquire about his quirk, Uchi swallowed with some difficulty, then turned to her and smiled cheerfully. His more composed attitude was immediately tested when Tsubaki called him "Uchi-kun." Uchi had to bite his lip to keep from giggling.
"I've got a quirk called Knockout, which I got from my dad. He's, uh, he was a pro hero a few years ago. Golden Touch was his name, if it sounds familiar. Everything I know about being a hero so far, I learned from him." Uchi unconsciously sat a little straighter and smiled a little more while talking about his dad, before slouching back into his resting position. "Anyway, my quirk lets me move faster, hit harder, and take more damage. The more I get hit, the more I can dish out, as long as I don't burn out or cross my threshold." Using his fingers, Uchi counted off a few more things about himself. "I like to eat, sleep, box, play violin, cuddle dogs, and watch old American action movies. Did I mention that i like to eat?" A little bit of blush returned to Uchi's cheeks, and he broke eye contact for a moment. "And yeah, uh, Red's my favorite color. Probably even more now, because you look really good in that sweater."
Before he could ask the same question of Tsubaki, the guy whose food they were eating, Sung Jin-woo, gave a little speech. After it was done, Uchi turned back to Tsubaki with poorly veiled excitement. "So, ah, Tsubaki-chan, what about you? Tell me about yourself."

Tsuback smiled softly, thinking that it was cute that Uchi closed his eyes when she was rubbing his head, kind of like a dog would do. She also smiled because the food was so good. Jin Woo had done a very good job. Looking over to Uchi while she ate, she couldn't help but to let out a loud laugh. He looked like a chipmunk harvesting for winter. He was obviously really enjoying those dumplings.
Look at him... He's funny thats for sure. Obviously doesn't have any table manners. It sweet though...Very endearing? I bet he's got an appetite on him.she thought before focusing her attention to Uchi as he began to answer her questions.
"Golden Touch huh? I don't think I've heard of him but it's so cool that he was a pro hero! I'm sure he taught you lots of great things." Tsubaki could tell by the way Uchi sat up in his seat a little that his dad was important to him. A father should be a sons role model after all. Her dad was important to her. He was the whole reason she was here now. "And I like the name knockout, it sounds really tough. Reminds me of the Rocky movies my dad liked. Your quirk sounds strong and very useful.. But I would worry about you hurting yourself too badly. I guess you can always count of me to ice your injuries." She said giving him a cheeky wink. She tried not to think of her dad for too long, not wanting to get emotional. Then he broke eye contact and started blushing. She softly frowned wondering what he was thinking about.
"And yeah, uh, Red's my favorite color. Probably even more now, because you look really good in that sweater."
"Me? Okay... Well. My quirk is called Snow Heart! Basically, I can create snow using moisture around me and do stuff with it. But it has some... weird side affects. It's called Snow Heart because when I use my quirk, a deep freezing happens in my body. My hair turns white, my eyes turn blue, my skin turns cold and pale... Even my personality changes..." Realizing that she hadn't explained her quirk to anyone so far. Uchi was the only one who knew how it worked. Finishing her plate, she set the frozen napkin onto it and pushed it away from her a little.
"I like cute boys, American chick flics, pop and rock music, snow, fashion, shopping, training, anime... And if you like to eat your in luck because I like to cook! I was actually thinking about making American styled burgers tomorrow! I really like trying new recipes out... Think that's all the basics!"
Grabbing another plate and starting to fill it full of food, she stopped hearing the sound of another chair being brought to the table. Looking to see who it was she saw a girl with blonde hair and a red streak in her bangs. She introduced herself as Lex. I wonder why she said yo? I don't know many girls that say that... She also said 'y'all'... I wonder if she's American? That would be so cool!
Tsubaki looked at the girls hand for a moment, not expecting to be the first person she would choose to introduce themselves. Looking up and meeting Lex's eyes she returned the smile and offered her hand. She gave her a gentle hand shake, before going back to finishing the plate for Yudai.
"Oops! My name is Tsubaki! Nice to meet you Lex. Are you hungry? You should grab a plate." Giving Lex another smile before pushing her chair out a little and standing up.
"Now if you guys will excuse me, I will be right back..." she announced to everyone before putting her hand on Uchi's shoulder and looking down at him. "I really enjoyed this. I'll find you later 'kay?" She said, slipping one of her bracelets onto Uchi's wrist. Picking up the second plate she made her way up the stairs. Then once she reached the top she spotted three people. Yudai, Kaiyo, and a boy she didn't recognize. He was tall and pretty cute. Looked a little... dark though. She thought she caught his name something like Banjo. Approaching the group she smiled, awkwardly trying to wave with the full plate in hand.
"Hi everybody. Didn't know we we're having a party up here! My name is Tsubaki. I think I overheard your name was Kanjo?" she said giving him a small smile.
"They are having dinner downstairs. It's really good, You guys should go get some before it all gets eaten. Some of our classmates have quite the appetite. Yudai? I brought you a plate, I figured you wouldn't want to eat downstairs with everybody but you need to eat so I made you a plate!" Offering him a warm smile and handing him the plate.
"Sorry... I would've brought you guys some too but I didn't have enough hands." she said nervously flattening out her skirt and straightening out her turtleneck. It wasn't a total lie but it was a bit of strategy on her part. She was hoping on having a little one on one time with Yudai. She wanted to get to know him better after all. Training with him was great but they didn't talk much.
Looking back up at everybody. Realizing that she still had three bracelets left. She slipped two of them off her wrists and put one in each hand. She took a step closer to Yudai. "May I? Sorry the colors are a little girlie..." she asked, looking into his eyes. She slipped her soft blue, white, and lavender colored beaded bracelet onto his wrist. Touching his warm hand with her cold one in the process. A soft blush came over her cheeks and she lingered for just a moment. Looking deep into his eyes, then moving on to Kaiyo. Doing the same thing with her, she gave her a smile as well. Then she turned her attention to Kanjo. "I'm sorry... I only have one left and I'm saving it for someone I don't have an excuse to talk too. I hope we can still be friends though!"

Ashigara's Lightning
Kishiko Shinohara
It would seem that Kishikoโs initial barrage of questions had proven to be exceptionally effective, garnering an almost immediate shower of responses courtesy of Shunjiro. Throughout all of his explanations Kishi never appeared to be disinterested or losing focus in what was being said, matter of fact she seemed so much more attentive compared to her attitude during the classes from earlier that day. Not once did she attempt to interrupt the boy either, the nodding of her head and the occasional โHuh.โ and โOoh.โ were the only signs of her not being an indifferent statue. Most shocking of all she had stopped her ravenous devourment of the banquet to dedicate her full attention to Shunโs clarifications. Soon the small lesson on โShunjiro 101โ drew to a brief stop once he stated: "N-n-next time my mom sends m-me honey, I'll g-give you some...unless you don't want to, of c-c-course...A-anything else you'd like to know, K-K-Kishiko?" While the promise of such a seemingly delightful treat was cause for celebration the black-haired girl was left deeply pondering about that last part. What else was there for her to ask? During the day it seemed like she had developed a large enough list of questions to make any detective worth their salt to blush with embarrassment, but right now the only thing her brain could muster was the sounds of a dial-up internet connection. Kishi took a couple of seconds to enjoy a the final mouthfuls of what remained of her burger, still completely silent, before finally acknowledging Shunjiro once more. โSo like, I had prepared so many more questions to pester you with, but they mostly revolved around you being a bee, not a wasp. Uuuuuh, I am gonna need a second, maybe a whole day to rethink them all.โ The girlโs tone didnโt express disappointment or anger at the previously mentioned reveal, she mostly seemed perplexed on what to ask of Shun next.
The moments that immediately followed were absolutely jam-packed with notable events. For starters we had the reintroduction of the angel of food herself, Evelyn, directing a friendly comment right her way. Kishiko countered it with one of her own: โYou best believe I am, hopefully our dear gunslinger doesnโt mess it up this time as well!โ Speaking of ruined food, Kishi was more than ready to body slam anybody who even dared consider the possibility of messing with her meal this time around. From the burger to the fish to even the veggies, everything was simply exquisite and a blessing to the paladar. Between the initial shock of seeing so much food and the following teachings of Shunjiro it had taken Kishi a decent amount of time to notice the welcomed invasion of her taste buds. Unlike before she wasnโt mindlessly chowing down everything within her grasp anymore, instead Kishiko was now taking her sweet time to enjoy every bite. Granted the speed at which she did so would still be considered extreme, but hey by Kishi standards this was pretty tame. The girl made a proper mental note regarding the identity of the chefs: Jin and...RYU!? Well well well, looks like the scarfy boy had given Blueberry more of a reason to cling around him, that poor fool. And now that I am mentioning Ryu we might as well move on to a familiar sight involving the boy: He was dragging someone away and chastising his victim for some reason. Just like last time with Tama however Kishi lacked all of the confrontationโs reasoning, all that she knew was that this time the affected party was a girl. Oh so now heโs fine with being rough with girls!? Kishiko just HAD to find out how this mystery girl had managed to get such a reaction, because a physical assault in the form of a greeting sure as hell didnโt work. And finally like some sort of tiny Beetlejuice Tama had finally materialized into the dining area, though rather than immediately looking to shove one of her bracelets onto his face Kishi simply waved at him from her seat. Soon heโll be properly targeted, but right now she needed to do something important.
Kishiko took the final bites off a cooked fish, the poor creature had been reduced to its bare bones. She still had more food to tackle, but suddenly her words began stampeding towards Shunjiro: โIโll be honest with you Shun, your personality just doesnโt fit your looks. That stuttering, your overall shy demeanor and the fact that you are immediately discarding the possibility of stinging me all are beginning to bother me. Such a badass appearance is absolutely wasted with your puny way of actingโฆโ Kishiโs words were cold, as was her expression. The truth was that ever since the cafeteria incident and the introduction of this wasp boy Kishiko had taken notice of the boyโs more meek seeming attitude. Initially she had dismissed her assumptions and simply assured herself that she needed to properly talk with Shun to get a better feel for his identity, but now that they had spoken one-on-one Kishi just couldnโt hold in her disappointment any longer. A short pause followed. โBUT, like hell am I gonna let you stay that way!โ The shift of Kishikoโs demeanor was sudden enough to cause whiplash, the girl was now brimming with life and energy yet again, that grim look from before now being replaced by a passionate smirk. โListen, from now on Iโm gonna make it my mission to see you become someone worthy of donning the mantle of heroism. You may cry, you may scream and you may hate me, but when I am done with you the ones doing all three of those things will be any villain that stands in your way, you hear me!?โ Kishi exclaimed before slamming one of her bracelets right in front of Shun. โThis flimsy little bracelet will seal this promise, so take it and guard it with all of your might. I think-, no, I KNOW you can do this. And guess what? Weโre starting right now! Your first task is to go get some more food, you heard Jin before, this miserable little excuse of a meal will simply not suffice! So, what are you waiting for? Get to it!โ And with those final words of encouragement out of the way Kishiko proceeded the gently shove Shunjiro, urging him to do as she said before food began running out.

This kid was knocked out today? What the fuck is going on around this school? Kaiyo had apparently seen him before and from what he heard, somebody had their way with him and he may of had an idea of who that could be. It was probably that bitch Evelyn. He felt his anger flare up briefly before receding again. Yudai refocused his attention on Kanjo as he began to speak, his red eyes resting on him. His eyes narrowed as he listened to his excuses, not believing in any of them, "Yeah, sure." He said a bit skeptical of Kanjo's intentions. He stared at the extended hand for a few moments, considering ignoring it but gave him a weak handshake instead. He was quite suspicious of Kanjo, his eyes widening as Kanjo handed him a bracelet. He slid it onto his wrist but he made no move to hand his over, he wanted to save his for people that weren't insufferable.
Yudai held back a groan when he heard a question about his quirk, already having answered that damn question several times before. His response was short and simple, "I take hits and give them out." He didn't explain his quirk well but he did not care right now. Hearing that question repeatedly was annoying. His attention shifted away from Kanjo to Tsubaki just as she arrived and his eyes immediately moved onto the plate she was holding. It seemed someone had made dinner and the thought of having dinner hadn't even crossed his mind. His stomach growled, glad that the plate that had been brought up was his. "Thanks." He said resisting the urge to eat right here and now. His eyes moved back to Tsubaki just as she was beginning to touch him, "What are you-." His words were cut short as she moved her bracelet onto his wrist, her lingering hand making him have a light blush. The eye contact didn't help and he couldn't hold it, averting his eyes to somewhere else. Why are all these girls so touchy? That whole ordeal had made him flustered, visibly so. He couldn't exactly slid his bracelet off as one of his hands were occupied by a plate. All he wanted to do now was focus on his food.
Timeskip
Yudai's alarm abruptly woke him up and he was quickly trying to shut the damn thing off. He hit the alarm a few times forcefully, making it finally shut off. He slumped back into his bed, closing his eyes for a few moments before forcing himself out of bed. The night had been hotter than he had been expecting, having taken off his shirt to try and help with it. It was possibly one of his worst night's of sleep he's ever had and he's had quite a few rough ones. Getting on his school uniform was harder than he expected, his tiredness made it all sloppy and he looked like a mess. His hair was his only saving grace, tying it into a neat ponytail.
Once he finished his morning routine, he finally made his way into the kitchen, not even acknowledging Jouhou or Akagane as he made his way over to an empty couch. He slumped onto it, laying his whole body across it. His body was extremely tired, making it hard for him to do basic functions. He closed his eyes for a few moments, possibly to catch a few minutes of rest before everybody else woke up and things became loud. He was able to catch a few moments of rest before something sat on his chest making him open his eyes in surprise. "What the fuck!" Yudai yelled out in surprise as someone was now sitting on his chest. "Get the fuck off me!"

Just one of those things
Uchiyama Isamu
"Careful there, grandfather! Eggs are expensive!"
On his way back to the dorm, Uchi saw an old man setting up an Okonomiyaki stall on the side of the street. Struggling with a propane can, the gray bearded elder accidentally elbowed a veritable tower of raw eggs. Uchi's eyes widened as he realized how many people were about to lose out on breakfast. One of the most important meals of the day! This horrendous disaster would be averted, if he had anything to say about it. Uchi screamed, sprinted forward, and dove to steady the tower of eggs. Huffing and puffing, he breathlessly straightened the stack before striking a heroic pose. "Careful there, grandfather! Eggs are expensive!" Thinking that Uchi had been a street thug preparing to mug him, the old man raised his cane and smashed it down onto Uchi's forehead. Uchi cringed and saw stars. Realizing his mistake, the stall owner bowed and apologized. Lowering his cane and laughing heartily, the old man's crows feet crinkled as he smiled at the hero-in-training. "Sorry about that, youngster. Can't be too careful these days y'know? The name's Kamogawa, by the way. Mind helping me with the rest of this stuff?"
After helping Kamogawa set up his stall, Uchi bought 3 Okonomiyaki to-go and promised to return. Humming cheerfully but rubbing his forehead gingerly, he finished the short walk back to the dorm. Stepping inside and placing the big bag of breakfast on the table in the main dining area, Uchi retrieved a clean student uniform from his room, showered, brushed his teeth, and changed. Throwing his old clothes into the laundry room, he walked back into the common area, noticing that a couple of people were up. Uchi smiled and nodded good morning on his way past them. They were unfamiliar to him, but maybe he could get to know them better later. Another classmate with long brown hair was sprawled on the couch, apparently asleep. Mood. Sitting down, Uchi opened the plastic bag and inhaled the smell of breakfast happily, preparing to eat.

โNice to meet you too, Kanjo.โ Kaiyo smiled, returning his handshake right after Yudaiโs. She was a little surprised that he had offered the two of them bracelets but she supposed he was trying to finish his assignment as quickly as possible. โOh, thank you! Here.โ Accepting his bracelet and sliding it onto her wrist, she quickly took off one of her own, handing it to him. Having just met Kanjo, she didnโt really feel comfortable offering him the bracelet the same way she did with Yudai but she felt obligated to give him one regardless. Before he turned to leave, he stopped to ask her and Yudai about their quirks. It was a common question she expected for the first day of school but she couldnโt help but giggle slightly at Yudaiโs response. It was obvious he had grown a little tired of explaining his. โI can transform into a...demon.โ Normally she would have explained her quirk proudly but after her interaction with Jin, she was a little hesitant to do so.
Hearing a familiar voice, she turned her head to see Tsubaki carrying a plate of food. She watched her offer the plate to Yudai before giving him one of her bracelets. Kaiyo raised an eyebrow slightly at the display in front of her. She wasnโt quite sure what she was feeling but it was borderline jealousy and she didnโt like experiencing that. โThereโs no reason to be jealousโฆโ She reassured herself, offering Tsubaki a warm smile as she was offered one of her bracelets as well. โOh, these colors are so cute. Thank you, Tsubaki.โ So far she had acquired three unique bracelets, her wrist already colorful. Kaiyo handed her third bracelet to Tsubaki, her black and gold beads definitely opposite to that of both Yudai and Tsubakiโs.
She eyed the food on Yudaiโs plate and figured she would go downstairs later; she wanted to finish speaking with Yudai about training before she went off to do her own thing. Kaiyo spent about twenty minutes listening to him about his plans for training. One hundred push-ups, one hundred sit-ups, one hundred squats and a ten kilometer run everyday after school and sparring to top it all off. That...seemed a little too much but she was determined to prove that she was worth training. Yudai was kind enough to share some of the food that Tsubaki brought him with her so after their talk she didnโt need to go back downstairs. Instead, she returned to her own room to tackle some of her homework.
[Timeskip | Collab with Blue]
To say that Hajiro cried himself to sleep, it was a painfully true statement but he probably wouldn't say it in those exact words or in fact mention he did at all. He fell asleep listening to music late last night and he forgot to charge his phone. He plugged it in and set it on the stylish red nightstand that he and his grandmother had brought in, along with other red-themed furniture, a couple of days ago. Nothing like hauling furniture and other stuff to a dorm room a day before your own birthday. Despite his grandmother's robust appearance in comparison with her contemporaries, he did most of the heavy lifting or rather his quirk did. He felt bad about even getting her involved in the moving process, but she insisted that she came along. She pitched in by dropping off some little things he never even thought of bringing. One item was a brown tabletop picture frame. He sat upright on his bed and rubbed his eyes, and looked at the other object that was on the nightstand. The picture showed a younger version of himself...along with his parents. Everytime he saw their smiles, he shuddered. The photo was taken after he finished an appointment with a physician, who said he wouldn't develop a quirk. His family celebrated due to the โfantasticโ news although he remembered he was a bit disappointed that day because he himself thought that having a quirk was cool and special. They went out to eat and even had fun at an amusement park, but those seemingly affectionate smiles hid something violent within his parents.
Scratching his head, he decided to start the day, he didn't set an alarm but he went right ahead and made one for the next day. He made the bed and changed into his uniform. Before going outside, he grabbed his ID and other stuff he needed for the school day, he left his phone on purpose because he was planning to come back and get it. He halted when he realized he had forgotten about the bracelets that were a part of the stupid challenge the school had issued to all of them. Unlike the ones he saw others carrying around yesterday, his colors were disappointingly bland. Brown, black then gray. It wasnโt like he cared about the actual purpose of the challenge, but he didnโt wanna lose to something like this. Though as cheesy as the task had sounded, it was probably going to be a bit more difficult for him to accomplish unlike most of his classmates who made it look so easy right after the announcement. Pfft. Bonding? Gee thanks for rubbing salt on the wound. He thought that in reference to what happened with his combat partner. Opening the door, he noticed it was fairly quiet. Guess I got up real early today...or maybe everybody just sleeps late... He walked slowly to the boyโs bathroom and washed his face thoroughly, all to make sure that it didnโt look like heโd been spewing out tears. Ironically, he didnโt bother fixing his hair, it was the least of his problems appearance-wise. Whether it stuck out bedhead style or went down, heโd go with it for the rest of the day. It seemed like it was a perfect time to go and make himself some tea, and if there was somebody in his way, heโd just make them leave either through intimidation or if needed a little bit of force. Just pick them up with a hand and boom. Good riddance. After he finished and checked his eyes through his Taiyou IDโs reflective surface, he made his way into the kitchen with hushed steps although he almost bumped into someone as he turned around the corner.
Kaiyo followed a fairly strict schedule: finish homework and be in bed by at least ten. Sometimes she would break her own rules, staying up to read or watch one more episode. However, she wanted to start off the school year right which meant making sure she got her full eight hours of sleep. Just as the alarm on her phone went off, she quickly silenced it, forcing herself out of bed. She made her bed every morning before getting dressed, continuing the habit even now as she tucked in the sheets and propped up her pillows neatly. Kaiyo took no time getting dressed in a clean uniform, keeping the suspenders secured as she liked how it looked. She took a moment to brush her hair, ridding of any tangles that may have formed during the night. โMaybe I should keep it down for todayโฆ?โ Her white hair fell down below her waist which is why she preferred keeping it styled up but she figured keeping it down would be a nice change, at least for today. If she needed a hair tie later, she could always use one of the bracelets her friends gave her. She had three unique ones on her left wrist while her own colors were on her right; she still needed to give two more away.
After washing her face and brushing her teeth in the girlโs bathroom, she headed downstairs for breakfast. It was really no surprise that she didnโt see many of her classmates yet, she was always an early riser. She walked into the kitchen, giving Jouhou and Akagane a slight nod in acknowledgement of their presence. Kaiyo stood still for a moment, debating on making an omelette or choosing the easy route of cereal. Out of the corner of her eye, another figure entered the kitchen. She turned her head to see who it was and immediately took a step back to avoid colliding with her classmate. Maybe it was a bad idea to stand idly near the entrance. โOh - good morning, Hajiro.โ Kaiyo smiled, recognizing her classmate immediately. How could she forget about him? He was the one that called her delicate after all. โShould be more careful, that wouldnโt have been a good start to either of our mornings.โ
Crap. Of all the people he had to run into the first part of the day, it had to be her. Little Miss Demon. He stepped back a couple of feet in response to encountering her. He was a bit taken aback when she mentioned his given name. โW-who said you can call me that...y-you girl!" he said with exasperation. Out of typical caution and suspicion, he created two small red hands and let them glide all around him. Funny enough, it looked as if they were playing tag, chasing after one another. He looked at her and immediately retracted when he saw her green eyes. The ones that seemed to pull anyone in when you made contact with them. Avoiding eye contact and pulling down his hair, he said in a teasing manner, "Hmph. Skipping formalities huh. I expected a bit more class from girly, sweetheart-looking types like you." He blushed slightly, "A-and! I didn't mean that as a compliment! Maybe YOU should watch where you're going next time!" He fiddled around with the bracelets that he had put in his pocket. Should he just give one to whoever right off the bat so that he can get rid of them faster? Impulsively, he took one and shoved onto the girl's hands. "H-here...This doesn't mean we're friends or anything. I'm just better off not carrying them around for the following days." He went back and gave the girl and him a comfortable distance before looking straight at her. Adding, with more confidence this time, "And don't call me by name - yet - unless you wanna start something, Demon-chan."
She raised an eyebrow slightly at his initial reaction, it would seem her classmate was always on full alert. It was kind of cute in a way, like a cat with itโs back arched and tail puffed. Her eyes followed the conjured red hands for a moment as it circled around him. She had seen him be able to lift Ayano from her seat yesterday in homeroom class but she wondered what else his quirk was capable of. โSo far our classmates allowed me to call them by their given name so I figured it would be okay with you too, I apologize.โ Kaiyo twirled a strand of her hair around her finger, hearing him describe her as โgirlyโ and โsweetheart-lookingโ was a real confidence booster after what Jin had said to her. Despite her classmate specifically saying it wasnโt a compliment, she blushed lightly and averted her eyes for a split second. She opened her mouth to defend herself, wanting to explain that she wasnโt even moving when the incident almost occurred but he surprised her by giving her one of his bracelets. โThank you, Haj- uh...Naosawa-kun.โ Kaiyo smiled, sliding the new bracelet on her left wrist along with the others she had acquired yesterday. Her expression faltered though as he called her โDemon-chan.โ Honorific or not, she did not like to be called that. Taking a step forward to close the distance between the two, she grabbed his hand. She used the same method that she used with Yudai when exchanging one of her bracelets, interlocking their fingers together before pulling one of her bracelets over their hands and onto his wrist. โPlease call me Kaiyo instead of that.โ
Here she goes again saying thank you as always. "L-like I said it's not like we're-" As the girl came closer, he naturally fell back until he hit a wall. "W-what are you-" he yelped when the girl's fingers came in contact with his. He underestimated her again, he didn't realize she could be so forward. His eyes traveled from her arm to his own, now having a wrist that displayed the girl's bracelet. He had to admit that he was a bit envious of her colors, much more pleasing to the eye unlike the bracelets that they gave to him, the ones with a dull and muted palette. How could anyone possibly desire something as morbid-looking as them regardless if they were labeled as something childish like "friendship bracelets." His face felt hot from being too close to someone, especially with a girl he barely knows. He gently pushed her away, making sure not to overdo it, consequently inadvertently knocking her down. "D-did you really have to go this far..." he mumbled. He raised his voice, "Well - uh t-thanks and fine if you annoyingly insist I'll just call you Kaiyo-san. or...Kaiyo-chan if that's what you want since you are being polite enough to do the same." This was a bit awkward, and he could tell his face was still red. All he wanted was to make some tea.
His gentle shove came to her as a slight surprise but she respected his indirect wishes, taking a step back from him to give him room to breathe. Hajiroโs bright, red face indicated that he was a bit flustered at their interactions. โKaiyo-chan is perfect.โ She grinned, smoothing out her skirt before inspecting the bracelet he had given her more closely. The colors were quite...sad but it didnโt dilute the thoughtfulness behind giving her one. โWell, Iโm guessing you arenโt here to just chat with me - though I wouldnโt mind that. But Iโll leave you to your morning routine.โ Whatever that may be. With a slight bow of her head, she turned around and headed for one of the stainless steel refrigerators. She figured combat class today will be just as difficult as yesterday so it was probably a good idea to have an actual breakfast.
He patted down his uniform since it got a bit wrinkled just from Kaiyo pinning him against the wall. Clearing his throat, he snapped his fingers and let his two playful hands dissolve. I guess there wasn't anything to be too worried about. "Yeah I was on my way to make something but I can't really do it with somebody around...i-it's not your fault, It's just...whatever." He knew tea-making wasn't really something that he could be made fun of, but he wasn't taking any chances in revealing more about him - at least, for the time-being. "Also if you need help with breakfast, I can do a lot with my quirk." He toyed with the new bracelet he had acquired, flipping and turning his wrist here and there. He pointed at it with his other hand and tried his best to sound a bit condescending, "Only because you gave me one of yours, and you helped me get rid of one of mine. Consider it as a way of me doing you a favor." He thought of walking alongside the girl but he walked ahead, he didn't want the others getting the wrong idea about the two of them during their way to the kitchen.
"Oh, that'd be great! I'll make you an omelette in return then."

Evelyn had eaten the night before with everyone. Happy that she was able to have conversations with others that she hadn't met before. Though she was still loud, silly, and funny as she always was. After dinner, she helped Kishiko and Jin clean up the table and then clean up dishes. There were plenty, considering how many people were actually there eating and such. After that was done, the blonde headed to her dorm where she unpacked everything that was hers and slid a box into her closet all the while putting clothes to be hung up within said-closet. There was no time wasted as she decorated the room to her liking. Pictures along her simple dresser, desk, and a flag that hung gracefully on her wall. The flag had a burning heart on the front, much like some of her clothes had. A self brand that she absolutely loved and claimed it for herself. "There we go!" she said confidently, her fists on her hips as she looked at the room with a grin. Content with her setup, she went back into her closet where she opened the box and pulled out a bottle of her strongest alcohol. Now she wasn't going to drink it, in fact, she was going to fill her flask as needed just to get her through the day tomorrow. Moving to the desk, she began to put her alcohol into the flask, filling it to the brim before closing both items and catching sight of her wrist with 2 left over bracelets. Right, I still got two left... Jojo got one, Tsubaki got one, Lex, now Kishiko when I hunt her down. Then I'll have one left to give away. though she wasn't entirely sure on who she'd give it to.
With that thought in mind, Evelyn moved from her room and went to look for Kishi's. Once found, the blonde knocked and at the same time opened the door while speaking "Hey Kishiko, I have something to give ya!" shouted the blonde with a big smile upon her face as Kishiko turned toward her. "What a coincidence, I also have something for you!" the girl replied. Oh, she has something for me too? other than the bracelet, there was nothing else that could possibly come to mind. Unless Kishi wanted to give Evelyn a knuckle sandwich in the evening times. "Oh really? Well, I'm going first! Catch!" suddenly she pulled her bracelet from her wrist and yeeted it at Kishiko, who caught it and took a glance before suddenly doing the same with her own bracelet. Evelyn caught it and took a look at the cute beads on it "Awww, I like yours, Kishiko. It matches you." she said as she slipped it on with the others that she had gathered so far "By the way, love the anchor on the wall, better smash some people with it." winking one of her amethyst eyes, she laughed and put Kishiko's bracelet with the others. "Anyways, I came in to give you the bracelet you deserve. I'll be in my room if you need me~" saying that in a sing song voice before suddenly slipping out and rushing back to her bedroom where not long later she knocked out, snuggled under her sheets in her orange tank top and her shorts.
The next morning, Evelyn really didn't want to wake up, but her alarm said otherwise as it went off. Causing the blonde to straight up grab it and throw it somewhere in the room. The sound finally stopping. With a tired yawn, she stretched underneath the sheets and groaned out loud before sitting up. Sleepy Amethyst eyes looking lazily around the room and then out her balcony door. Drawing a deep breath, she continued to sit there. Her hair chaotic and messy, -though looked quite cute- while her shirt was disheveled, a strap hanging off her shoulder. First morning in this school...Already broke the poor alarm...Oh well, I can get another one or something. she thought, still not moving from her spot as time passed by. Eventually she got out and stretched out her limbs with another yawn before heading out of her room. Since everything is downstairs, she went down and washed her face and her teeth before heading to the common area. Wanting to sit upon a couch for a little while because she was totally not ready for the day. Just a little more time in her PJ's would do right?
Opening her eyes a little bit to see where she was going, she then closed them and approached a couch. Unaware of a person laying on one of them before she had simply just sat on him. No care in the world. At first, she was surprised because who the hell would be laying on the couch this early? It was the common area, they should be sitting, not laying. It was far too late in the action to really have regrets to get off him. So Evelyn listened to him suddenly start swearing while she remained upon his chest still. Letting out a loud yawn, she spoke sleepily "Maybe you shouldn't lay on a couch in the common area." she pointed out, glancing down at him as the expression on his face seemed to remain pissed off. "Oh hey, you're the guy I punched yesterday." she said, leaning down a little bit "Yep, I'd recognize those eyes anywhere." she grinned and then sat back up, not budging from her spot "This could teach you a lesson. Though I'm too tired to throw fists if you want to do that." she let her hands rest in her lap as she took a deep breath and let it out again.

Tsubaki yawned, stretching out her whole body as her alarm clock twittered. 6 am already? UGGGHHHH. Do I really have to get up? Maybe 5 more minutes..... No. I gotta get up and get ready. Letting out a loud sigh she sat up. The sun was peeking into her room, hitting her skin. It helped wake her up. Throwing her legs over the side of the bed, she looked around her room. Her mom went all out making sure she would be comfortable in her new room. It was really cute in there. She had soft blue curtains with small, white embroidered snow flakes on them. She had a simple white bed frame with bedding that matched her curtains. She also had a fluffy pink blanket thrown on the bed. Then tucked underneath the covers was her body pillow of one of her favorite studs. There was a huge, fluffy white rug on the floor with a soft pink wooden table on top. There were some magazines and a candle in the middle of the table. A large white desk that doubled as a vanity with lavender trim was in the corner, covered in books with a small lamp. She had a dresser next to the desk with lavender circular knobs. She liked that everything matched and she had a color scheme. There was some posters of the hottest guy celebs over her bed, a lamp, a laptop, a small trashcan, an electric tea kettle, a tea assortment, and a mug. She had everything she needed and felt safe at her new home. Her favorite part was the medium sized chandelier with glass snowflakes that the light shined through. Or the board that had pictures of her friends on it. Hopefully soon it would have a lot more pictures. Her dad even bought her a new polaroid camera.
Finally dragging herself out of bed she stripped down out of her pajamas and wrapped a fluffy white towel around herself. Grabbing her toiletry bag, she quietly exited her room and rushed down the stairs to the girls washroom. Starting a warm shower for herself. Getting in she did her usual routine. Shampooing, washing her face, shaving, conditioning, washing her body. Singing as she did so. Tsubaki really liked to sing. Wasn't bad either. She used to dream about becoming a pop idol. Using her quirk to send snow into the audience at her concerts. It was unrealistic though. Sometimes she couldn't help but imagine she was a pop idol by day and superhero by night. It was good to have dreams. Finishing up, she turned the water off. Drying off and wrapping herself back in her towel, she gathered her things and snuck back upstairs. Now was her favorite part of her morning routine.
Turning on her favorite morning playlist that had a mix of pop, rock, hip hop, rap. She sat down at her vanity and started doing her make up. Since it was just school she figured she would keep it simple. Something her mother said about natural beauty or something. Looking through her assortment of lip glosses, she chose a shiny one. Brushing it on her lips and giving herself a little kiss in the mirror. Slipping on her school skirt then she pulled the white polo over her head and tucked it into the skirt, doing a little twirl. Pulling two knee highs over her feet, she smiled at herself in the mirror. Hmmm... I need something to spice this look up. Something to set me apart from the rest... I already had mom take in the waist so I wouldn't have to wear those goofy suspenders. Plus I even took off an inch from my skirt so it wouldn't be so long and boring.
Tsubaki slipped on her black Mary-janes. The cute kind with the heel. She flipped her tea kettle on and flipped through her small tea collection. Deciding on an earl gray morning tea. Then she remembered her mom bought her a few disposable cups for the morning. Digging around in her dresser she finally found them. Pouring the water in and dropping the tea bag in, she would let that steep while she picked out a few accessories. She decided on some hoops that had snowflakes dangling from them. If you can't tell. Snowflakes are kind of my thing.
Looking at herself she frowned. Something wasn't quite right yet... Grabbing a hair tie she pulled her hair back into a high pony. Leaving her bangs and two long strands of hair to frame her face. Perfect!
Grabbing her tea, camera, and backpack she decided to go see if there was any sugar or cream in the kitchen. Humming to herself as she went down the stairs. Keeping to herself as she walked into the kitchen. Adding a little creamer and sugar to her tea, she took a sip of tea and smiled. Now she could interact with her classmates.
She saw Evelyn sitting on Yudai and sighed to herself. Obviously Evelyn won't be satisfied until they really duke it out... It's wayyy too early for that. Then she looked over and saw a fuzzy wuzzy bald head. She smiled and looked down at her outfit one last time. Thats when she noticed all the bracelets on her arm. There was a new one she didn't remember putting on. She would have to figure that out later. It was flirtin time. Walking over to Uchi and taking a seat right next to him. Their legs touching they were so close.
"Good morning Uchi kun!" she said warmly looking down at his breakfast. "Whatcha got there?" peeking her head in the bag a little bit. Looking up and locking eyes for a second she gave him another smile. She wouldn't dare asking him to share his breakfast, even if it did smell good. Uchi liked his food. She learned that about him last night. She sipped on her tea, glancing over at Yudai.
The girls all agreed that it's ok that I like two boys at once. I mean maybe like is a strong word... I just met them after all. But it's never too early to start thinking ahead. While Yudai is exactly my type. Tall. Passionate. Totally cute. Although I am almost sure Kaiyo likes him too... Plus he's a little rough around the edges. Uchi on the other hand is super cute too. Not as tall. Definitely not a bad boy. But he's so sweet. Knows how to make me smile. Mom always said that's why she chose da.... Anyways... I don't need to make any decisions yet. I can't help thinking this is like a drama. Two boys fighting over me. Well they aren't fighting. Really I don't even know if either of them think I'm even cute,. Well a girl can dream right! Snapping back to reality she looked back into Uchi's eyes. They were soft brown. Easy to get lost in. You know the type. Discreetly trying to take her camera out of her bag. Looking back to make sure Uchi had a mouthful of food, she brought the camera out and pointed it at him.
"Say cheese!" She said eagerly, waiting for him to give her a little smile before she took the picture. Taking the picture as it printed she shook it softly, putting the camera back in her bag.
"I know that one's a winner! So anyways. I think we left off just listing the basics... Talking about our quirks. Surface level stuff. Now I wanna know something no one else knows about you. Something you wouldn't tell just anybody. In return... I'll tell you a secret too."

Jin had gotten quite a bit of help clearing off the table from two unlikely sources, as both looked rather rough around the edges, and were certainly did not fit the bill of people who would do chores over having fun. Either way, he was happy to have gotten a hand with the dishes and with the cooking, which was far more than he had expected. Perhaps this approach is good. Hitoshiโs advice still seems to be providing results, but too much kindness would breed descension eventually, as many take kindnesses for weakness. In many instances, theyโre right though. Once everything was cleaned, he would thank Evelyn and Kishiko, making his way to the stairs and toward his room, pushing open the heavy door and stepping inside. At the moment his room was fairly bare, as he wanted to decorate it himself, rather than have the school do it for him before his arrival. Simply a bed, a dresser, and a nightstand with a reading lamp on it. Heading into the bathroom, he would take a quick shower and then climb into bed afterwards, knowing that the next day was going to be far more important than the first day. The second day was when it was time for them to start buckling down, as the first day is used to weed out the weak-willed. He would need to be prepared for anything.
/////////////////////////NEXT DAY\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Jin was up in the morning before most, as it was the best time to train, since it was not too hot and there werenโt too many eyes that would be on him. Additionally, since school begins at eight thirty, he did not suspect there would be too many up and about before even seven. High Roundhouse followed by a Dragon Tail. Stand and guard, arm grapple counter, step to hip throw. Back kick! Damnit! Why isnโt the gravity pinpointing on the strike zones? Maybe with some punches? Once again he would apply some weight to the leaves in a tree he was next to, forcing them to fall, and he would punch each one and attempt to transfer gravity at the immediate point of contact from his fist to the floating leaf. He had been at it for hours. Having lost track of time during his training however, it was now around seven or so when he completed his workout, allowing the gravity to drain from his body and return his weight back to normal, pulling himself off of the grass in the center area of the dorms. Sweat practically drenched him, but fortunately he had brought a towel with him, removing his shirt, he beginning to dry off his face and arms as he made his way inside, still thinking it was much earlier than it really was. The building had done a magnificent job of blocking the sun.
As always, one would have to walk through the common area to get to the stairs leading up to the dorm, so he would have to as well. There was already a number of people sitting or talking within, almost the entire class was up and about in the common areas, but that was not overly important to him. At home, he was used to walking around without a shirt on, it was normal after-training procedure to remove your shirt so that it could be washed and so you didnโt catch a cold from any wind drafts. Maintaining your health is very important. Well-muscled from years of training, the towel drapped on his neck, wearing a pair of black shorts with a red stripe and black sneakers, he made his way toward the kitchen. He eyed each person as he passed, his golden eyes studying each and every one of them, wondering and weighing their potential in the field like had many times before with candidates for Unsung Heroes. Once he was within the kitchen, he would make his way by Kaiyo and Hajiro to get o the fridge, pulling out two muffins and a small container of orange juice he had put in before he started training. Without a word, he would make his way by them again and head up toward his room, taking a bite of the muffin a drink from the juice. Showering and changing after he finished eating, brushing his teeth and fixing his hair, he would make his way back down in the school uniform some thirty-five minutes later.
Pausing at the door before leaving, he would turn to those that might still be in the common room now at seven-forty, still well before they had to be at school. โPlease donโt be late. Heroes are punctual." With that he would exit, making his way toward the school, mostly because he liked to be early and also enjoyed taking his time while doing so.

Short Round
Just one of those things
Uchiyama Isamu
"There's this girl I like."
With his mouth full of Okonomiyaki, Uchi felt something nudge his leg. As he turned his head to see who was calling his name, his heart did a little tumble as he saw Tsubaki sitting quite close to him. Nearly choking on his food, Uchi mumbled out a greeting through a mouth full of pancake. Realizing that he had just spoken complete gibberish, Uchi quickly swallowed before wiping his face with a napkin and trying again. "Good morning, Tsu-chan." "Whatcha got there?" When she inquired about what he was eating, Uchi looked at the pancake clutched in his hand for a moment. After pausing for no reason, he answered. "Oh, just some Okonomiyaki. I helped a guy with his food stall this morning, and I got a discount." And a smack on the head. Goddamn, Kamogawa-san hit me pretty hard with that cane. At least there's no bruise, thanks to my quirk.
Tsubaki seemed to have a lot in her mind at the moment. She looked over at another guy, who was currently being sat on by Evelyn on the couch. As she seemed to come out of her train of thought, she fixed her beautiful eyes back on his. Unable to hold her gaze for more than a second, Uchi dropped his eyes and took a huge bite of his Okonomiyaki. "Say cheese!" Uchi looked up again to find himself looking into a gleaming camera lens. Great. I bet I look like a big chipmunk. Thanks bro. Uchi did his best to smile for the photo, even though he was unable to manage anything besides slightly upturning the corners of his mouth. He'd have to think of some way to return the favor.
"Now I wanna know something no one else knows about you. Something you wouldn't tell just anybody. In return... I'll tell you a secret too." Sticking the last bit of the first hot pancake in his mouth, Uchi resumed his chewing, racking his brain for something semi-interesting about himself that he could share with Tsubaki. Maybe I can finally use that "14 kilos of sushi" flex. Actually, those are rookie numbers. I'll share if I make it 20. What if I told her I can play violin? No, I don't even practice as much as I used to. Probably not very impressive. Like a spark igniting a flame, he suddenly thought about something he could share. It was bold, brash, and probably belonged in the trash, but Uchi was a boxer, and boxers took risks. Wiping his face with a napkin, Uchi leaned in coyly and whispered. "There's this really cute girl I like. She goes to Taiyou, and she's in the 32nd class. She's been super nice to me, and I find her interesting, even though we've only talked like once. She's about my height, with these really warm eyes." Casting his gaze over Tsubaki's appearance, Uchi smiled and continued. "I saw her today. I can't be sure, but I think she was wearing these classy hoop earrings. They had snowflakes dangling from them."
Although his heart was beating furiously and his cheeks were rosy, Uchi leaned back into his own chair, maintaining a calm appearance. Beneath the table, his knee bounced rhythmically. Gosh, that was so cheesy. What was I thinking? Was it too much? No, right? Wait, yes. Maybe? Well, it's out in the open now, if she picks up on it. Nothing more I can do now. Fishing around in the plastic bag sitting in front of him, he pulled out an Okonomiyaki wrapped in paper and handed it to Tsubaki. "Oh, and, uh, here. Do you want one? Three's a little too much, even for me." It was definitely a lie, but Uchi wanted to share his food. Besides there was still one left; which was also open for sharing, if anyone in the common area needed breakfast. "And, now it's your turn. If you still wanna go, that is."

Glancing over at the sound of the door opening, Tsubaki's eyes nearly popped out of her head when she saw Jin enter shirtless. She tried not to make a big deal of out of respect for Uchi but it was hard not to stare. He went upstairs as quickly as he came in. Not giving anyone a real chance to stare. Then she heard a boys voice. The nerdy guy with glasses she had given the frozen cookie too. He wished everyone a Good morning, Tsubaki gave him a small smile but had more pressing matters at mind. Uchi's voice brought her attention back, listening to him explain his breakfast. She had never heard of Okonomiyaki before. Tsubaki wasn't really a breakfast person. She never felt hungry in the mornings, usually a cup of tea and maybe a piece of toast would do the trick. Looking down at the picture she smiled as it developed. Aww look at this fuzzy wuzzy chipmunk. I think this is the perfect picture for my board. Tsubaki inspected Uchi while he looked lost in thought. He was probably trying to come up with the perfect secret to tell her. She was eager to hear what he came up with. Then his face changed. Seeing the boy lean in, she did the same. Ready to hear whatever it was he had to say.
"There's this really cute girl I like," Oh great! So I was wrong. He doesn't like ME, he already likes some girl. Of course he does. I wonder who it is...? Maybe someone from his past?
"She goes to Taiyou, and she's in the 32nd class," WHAT? It's some girl in this class? God. Which one? I bet it's Kaiyo... She's so pretty and nice... And I'm sure Yudai likes her so why wouldn't Uchi? O-or maybe Lex? She's one of those cool girls with the colored streaks and her street slang... What if it's Evelyn? She's got a killer body and she's just like one of the boys. They love that...
"She's been super nice to me, and I find her interesting, even though we've only talked like once. She's about my height, with these really warm eyes." Great. So she's super nice and interesting... About his height? Well he's not super tall. Pretty average for a boy but that would be kind of a taller girl... And warm eyes? I don't know everyone well enough to know who it is... I can't believe he already has a crush on some girl. It's only the second day!
"I saw her today. I can't be sure, but I think she was wearing these classy hoop earrings," Oh and they had some little morning rendezvous? How early does this girl wake up anyways? Maybe she's how he got the discount. Showed some boob. Not very classy. And she can accessorize? She sounds like the full package... How am I supposed to compete with that?
"They had snowflakes dangling from them." SHE STOLE MY LOOK AND MY MAN?!?! WHO IS THIS BITCH? Looking around the room frantically to see if this mystery woman was in sight she saw many girls who could be the possible culprit. Turning back to Uchi she saw him sitting back in his chair with a faint blush. The wheels were turning in her head. So she's a tall girl who is really nice and cute and likes the snow................... Wait a minute.......... Tall, cute, stylish, snow lover.................. I-is it...Is it me? Tsubaki's cheeks instantly flushed as the thought entered her head. Looking down at her feet, she wondered what she should say next. What if I'm wrong and I make a total fool of myself... I've got it. Standing up and smoothening out her skirt she finally got the nerve to look at the boy in front of her.
"That was.... a good one. Uhhh... I'll be right back okay? I just wanna go put this picture in my room really quick and then we'll walk to class and I'll tell you my secret okay?" the girl said softly, showing him the picture in hand. Making her way quickly to the staircase she looked back at Uchi with a smile.
"As for breakfast... Thank you for the offer but I'm too scared to take food out of your mouth... Don't wanna get bit. Be right back." Running up the stairs and into her room, she pinned the picture of Uchi on her friends board. Taking a minute to look over the pictures that were already there. Pictures of her girl friends from home. At the mall buying new clothes to impress the college boys at the coffee cafe where they did homework. At boy band concerts where they screamed the lyrics to their favorite songs all night long. Having sleepovers where they talked about all the boys they had crushes on and stayed up all night laughing. A picture of her mom and dad from when they were young, looking into each others eyes so deeply in love. A picture of her and her dad the first time they went to the ski lodge and had a whipped cream fight. They both were covered in whipped cream and we're laughing so hard their stomachs hurt. Finally the picture of Uchi. Mouth full of food, totally in his element. His picture fit in great with the others. They made her smile, reminded her what was important. Lingering at the board for a minute, she felt tears sting her eyes. Not out of sadness of course. Just because she felt so lucky to have all these great people in her life. Wiping one of the stray tears that slid down her cheek, she moved her attention to the mirror. Putting on another swipe of lip gloss and taking this opportunity to take a deep breath. Closing her eyes and placing her hand on her tea kettle, she focused on freezing the water. It was just enough to calm her down. Smiling at her ice cold roots, cool blue and brown speckled eyes, and the snowflakes dangling from her hoops in the mirror. She was finally ready to take on Uchi and the day in front of her. Backpack on, coat on, and ready to leave she ran down the stairs. Going back to Uchi and grabbing his hand she pulled him to the front door. Taking a step outside, she took a big inhale of the fresh morning air. It was lovely. Not dropping his hand, Tsubaki grinned at the boy, interlocking their fingers.
"So this girl you like... She sounds like a total babe," Taking a minute to look back at Uchi. "Thanks for saying all that stuff Uchi. It was really sweet. The best secret I could've asked for." Finally adverting her eyes to the nature surrounding them as they walked. Taiyou really had a beautiful campus. She couldn't wait to see it during winter. Winter was her favorite season of course, though Spring was a close second. Was still easy to use her quirk since there was lots of moisture around. Plus all the flowers bloomed which Tsubaki loved. The air felt so fresh. It was cool outside but comfortable. She got lost in the moment. Enjoying holding Uchi's hand while they walked to class.
"So I guess it's my turn to tell a secret huh? Well I'd like to think that I'm somewhat of an open book so I'll tell you a few things... We'll start light. Not really a secret but I think it's fun. My favorite season is Winter. I mean obviously I have a quirk that relates to the cold so it's definitely easier to use my quirk. I even get kind of a power up in the snow too but that's not the real reason why... See my family and I used to go on vacation at least once a year and we would go to these Ski lodges. All over the world. Canada, France, Colorado, Switzerland, you name it. We would make hot chocolate and make snow men. Go skiing, sledding, watch the fire place. And I remember this one time I was up late with my dad. We were all bundled up, sitting outside by the fire. He told me that he always thought snow was the most beautiful thing. He said that when it snowed he felt peace. Like the world was frozen and quiet. Where he could be alone with his thoughts. Then he asked me why I loved the snow... I remember I didn't wanna tell him the real reason I loved the snow so I told him some lie... Well my dad he's not.... He's not with us anymore and I... I wish I could tell him why now. I love the snow because it covers everything ugly and makes it beautiful. The dirt and dead grass is covered by shimmering, clean, white snow. Like a fresh start... Just like the memories I have now. I don't think of the times when my dad worked so much he missed my first ballet recital, or when he threatened to kill my first boyfriend, or even when he would come home drunk and yell at my mom. None of those ugly memories are what I remember... I remember the time when we built our first snowman, and when he helped me make a hundred snowballs so I could throw them at the girl who was making fun of me at school. I think about the time the power went off in our lodge so he told silly stories about when him and my mom were young that made me pee my pants. It's the same thing. All these good memories cover all the ugly memories... Gee. I guess that wasn't very light was it?" She said letting out a small laugh. She didn't mean to dump all of that on Uchi. Especially this early in the morning but it just came out like word vomit. Deciding Uchi probably wouldn't know what to say she figured she should probably just change the subject.
"Okay, next secret... Well since we've been holding hands for a minute, I'm sure you have noticed that my hand is cold. Don't worry they aren't always this cold but... Well... Whenever I get overwhelmed or anxious or I'm trying to make a good impression on a new friend or cute boy or something I use my quirk. Remember when I explained that when I use my quirk it freezes me from the inside? And that my personality changes? Well when I go through the full transformation I'm not as bubbly and nice. I've been called cold and quiet. Some people even say I'm mean. But to me I feel so confident when I switch over. And strong and beautiful. The deep freeze also cools down my anxiety allowing me to handle things in a better way. So if I just use my quirk a little bit it's like I'm taking a xanax or something. I don't go through the full transformation but I feel cool, calm and collected. I actually kind of wish I could always be that version of me... Not all of the time but I have thought it every now and again. Anyways. When I went up to my dorm I froze all the water in my tea pot so I could relax a little bit. I wanted you to think I'm cool. Kind of embarrassing now that I say it out loud. " Her cheeks turning a soft pink and she let out an awkward little laugh. She noticed they were nearly to the building they had class in. A devilish idea came into her mind. Since Uchi did something a little risky she figured she would too. Pulling him to the side of the building where they couldn't be seen and pushing him softly against the wall.
"Ready to hear my last secret? It just so happens that there's a boy I like. Well a few but I'm talking about one specific one. He is extremely sweet and knows how to make me laugh. The type of guy my mom would love. He likes food... A LOT. Annnddd... He has a fuzzy, wuzzy buzzed head that looks bad ass on him... Can you guess who I'm talking about...?" the girls cheeks were burning up now. Her heart was pounding in her chest. Leaning in Tsubaki planted a soft kiss on Uchi's cheek. Stepping back a little to put some distance between them. Looking into Uchi's eyes with hers that burned with passion about what could be. Without saying anything else, Tsubaki turned and started to walk away. Stopping cold in her tracks, she turned and looked over her shoulder.
"And Uchi...? Thank you. For everything the past... day. I don't think you know how much it means to me. My mom used to read fairy tales to me and I always dreamed of finding my own Prince Charming... Usually I'm stuck kissing frogs but... you make me feel like one day I might just meet a prince of my own..." she said truthfully, laughing quietly at all she had been through up till this point. Then she realized that her mysterious entrance would be ruined since she didn't even know where her first class was.
"Oh.... I also missed home room yesterday so I don't exactly know where to go... Could you uh... Show me how to get there?"

I realize the screaming pain. Hearing loud in my brain. But I'm going straight ahead with the scar.
[yesterday during lunch]
He had a slight smile on his face as his classmate approached him, still holding the onigiri out for them to take, "W-well umm...if you don't want it - I can always give you something else from my lunch..." He glanced at his classmate, he sensed there was something wrong, they were distracted by something since it looked like his words didn't fully get through to them. "Agnew-san, are you ok?" He didn't know where he was going with the sentence or why he suddenly broke out of his "tough-guy" character to express empathy for someone he had just met. Could it be because he was tired of being alone and he finally found someone who didnโt seem to be manipulative in any way? "Uh! Y-you can tell me anything that's on your mind - er - this is kind of embarrassing but-" Okay...here it goes... Taking a deep breath, he pushed the words out as best as possible, "I guess I consider you a friend of mine...so uh-" He chuckled softly in an attempt to try to lighten up the mood, however, the atmosphere of tension and awkwardness lingered. "AhI'm um...glad you feel that way!!!!" His mouth slowly dropped open. Did they just completely ignore the stuff he just said? "...Excuse me?" His tone had shifted from apologetic to borderline irritated and confused. They were glad that he was feeling bad and sorry? He didn't want to take it the wrong way, but anger suddenly welled up inside him although it quickly wavered as his upset-looking classmate shouted something in a panic-struck tone, "I'M SORRY NAOSAWA-SAN, I HAVE SOMEWHERE ELSE TO BE!!!" A bit shocked by their reaction, he yelled out as his classmate started to rush back into the cafeteria, "W-WAIT!"
. . .
The onigiri that he held fell, it bounced once it hit the ground although it still kept its shape. The air around him suddenly felt cold even with the warm sunshine at its peak. "...Damn it," he muttered to himself as he picked his food back up from the dew-covered grass. His anger resurged like a fire, but this time it was towards himself. He picked up his bento box and was about to flail it. He planned to throw all of the food it contained across the field but he knew that releasing his anger that way wouldn't change anything except that he wouldn't have anything to eat this period. Plus, what would his grandmother think about that, she would be very disappointed in him. The fury switched over to an overwhelming feeling of loneliness and sadness. With a mood like that, his appetite had completely vanished. Nevertheless, he needed something to keep him satiated until dinner rolled around. Searching, he found the rock again and sat, eating quietly, surrounded by the shade of the trees. As if on cue, the bell immediately rang to signal the end of lunch after taking his last bite. Well that wasn't the worst scenario right? No, yeah that went way worse than he could possibly imagine. Whatever had just happened between him and Angeni, he hoped nobody saw what took place. Completely sure of how he felt, he trudged the whole way coming back to the cafeteria, he wasn't looking forward to the rest of the school day. Unfortunately, all he could think about during the periods that followed was what happened during lunch. What was I thinking...I-I shouldnโt have opened up at allโฆ He sulked and put his head down at the desk he was sitting at. Introductions. Late students speaking. Ignoring all of it, he went and closed his eyes, letting out a sad sigh.
After the school day had finished, he walked slowly to the dorms, kicking stray pebbles that crossed his path. He was a bit envious of the other students who walked in pairs or in a group. He couldn't help but scowl whenever he came close to them. Entering the dormitory area, he was met with the sight of Hasami-sensei and an unfamiliar face, one that he could care less about. Although that quickly changed when she spoke up, muttering something about a challenge of a sort. He cringed when he heard words like "bonding" and "friendship." There couldn't have been a worse time for this challenge to sneak up on him. When his bubbly teacher had finished handing out everyone's bracelets, his face scrunched up in disappointment. Wow, I'll definitely win friends with these lame-ass things. With absolutely no incentive in sight or motivation at all, he decided it was a better option to just head to his room. Though he lingered for a little bit in the commons area, and there was talk of cooking something tonight. He admitted that he was a bit hungry but he didn't bother staying around for dinner.
With help from his ID, he found the entrance to his new place. It was going to be his main base, at least for quite some time. Taking off his schoolbag and everything else, he planted himself right on the bed he had brought a couple of days ago. He turned around and put his back on the bed and his head on a pillow, gazing at the ceiling. He wanted to do nothing right now, the last thing that's on his mind is worrying about some challenge. He tossed his super lame looking "friendship" bracelets in the air one last time and finally set them down on his nightstand. Feeling a little tense and anxious, he took out his phone from his pocket and a red pair of earbuds from his bag. Maybe a little music can help remove these feelings. Though halfway through the song, he felt something. Something wet. A teardrop? Two? Three? Before he knew it, he was crying. He knew what the cause for it was...but did it really hurt him that much? How was he so upset by something so little compared to the stuff that he'd been through. He didn't cry when his mother made cuts on his body. Yes, he pleaded for help but he never spilt tears when he was betrayed by his friends back in junior high. So why now? Is this moment making up for all of the horrible things that's happened to him? This. This is weakness. I need to stop this. I'm so pathetic. But even as he replayed those words in his mind, he couldn't hold the tears back. They kept falling, one by one, dampening the pillow.

[current time: morning]
"Oh, that'd be great! I'll make you an omelette in return then." "Huh?" he blurted out as he returned from spacing out. The demon quirk girl who's name was Kaiyo had responded to his little smug declaration of assistance. "Hmph, you don't have to do that," he said with a strong sense of self-confidence as he made an average-sized red hand and kept duplicating it until he had several of them floating around. With a purposefully shit-eating grin, he added, "Anyways, I'll do the actual cooking since I'm pretty great and all, just go sit and look pretty or something-" He paused for a moment, hastily trying to backtrack from what he said or else the conversation might go into something else. "I mean do whatever you want. It's not like I care." Before she could get a chance to see his easily-flustered self get red again, he rushed into the kitchen area, with one hand opening the fridge, another taking a carton of eggs out and a third one closing the fridge door. Others grabbed a whisk and three plastic bowls to scramble the eggs in. With some searching, he found a coconut oil cooking spray and coated a large pan. With bowls that consisted of four mixed eggs each, he poured one mix into the heated pan. He did the same thing with the other two, swapping the cooked one onto a plate, bouncing softly as they came in contact with it.
Running his hand across his hair, he smirked. "Ha! Aren't I a great cook or what?" Internally, he was panicking the whole time, he had never done something like this before. It was just pure luck that he managed to pull his bluff off. He saw it in a cooking show but never really had a chance to try it out until now. They looked really fluffy, he almost drooled at the sight of them. After all he never did eat dinner. Although he didn't know why he made so much if it was just for Kaiyo and himself. After he swiftly cleaned everything away, he did his usual snap to make his red hands disappear. Some people came into view, a brown-haired boy and that punk. โPlease donโt be late. Heroes are punctual." he had heard the gravity guy yell out in the commons. "It'd be an insult if you guys don't at least try some of this!" he said shouting back before the two were out of sight completely. Hmph. Fine, it's their loss if they choose to miss something like this. He surprised himself. Why was he being so considerate and sociable in a way? It's that girl, her personality is infecting me! The theory was too real and possible that it was horrifying. He turned his attention to the food he made and got one of the plates. Steam met his face. Grabbing a fork, he waved it around, holding the omelette on the plate with another hand. He shot a look at Kaiyo and the other two students who were in the area with him. "W-want some - or are you too worried about being late or some crap like that?" He didn't bother telling the rest of the others who were up, he was sure the smell alone would attract some hungry students.

Miyata Shunjiro
Shunjiro stared up t the ceiling of his room, seemingly lost in thought from just a quick glance. His eyes were squinted, and he had a frown on his face as all of his hands were folded over his stomach. However, what the boy was actually doing was cursing himself from eating so much the night before. He had tried to appease Kishiko and Jin Woo by taking seconds of the meal, which was already a slightly larger portion than his first, but they weren't satisfied until he took a third helping, practically stuffing him to the point he felt his entire stomach was about to burst. Two trips to the nearby men's room had alleviated some of the pain, though he still felt quite bloated, even now.
It would have probably been easier for him if he could have simply slept through it, but he only ever needed about four hours of sleep maximum, another side effect of his already bizarre mutation, so he was left to find other things to distract him until the discomfort had subsided. One of those things was taking into account Kishiko's suggestion about customizing his room more, and so he had spent most of his night looking at supplies online. He had learned a thing or two about how to build and repair things, from having to fix broken toys handled by uncaring siblings to repairing holes in the house from just a bit too much rough-housing on his brothers' part. In comparison to that, building shelves and whatnot seemed easy enough.
Before he knew it, light was beginning to break through the curtains to his room, and he diligently opened them up, basking in the warm rays for a few minutes. He noticed a small bumblebee sitting on the windowsill outside, and without a second thought, he opened his window, allowing the small insect to fly in and start buzzing around his head, something that wasn't a rare occurrence to Shunjiro. At first weirded out by it, he eventually got used to the bees that seemed to enjoy flying around him, and he was thankful that they never stung him or anything. He walked back over to his desk and grabbed a bottle of sugar water and filled the cap with it, placing it on the desk for the little friend as he began to get dressed for the day. He had already used the bathroom to get ready earlier to avoid getting in the way of the others, and it allowed him some more time to relax before going to class. Once he was dressed, he closed the bottle of water, and the bee flew back up and landed on his forehead, sitting there peacefully while Shunjiro finished gathering his things.
Upon arriving in the common room, he saw a number of his classmates either getting ready or on their way out the door to get to class. He was tempted to follow them out and make his way to the school building as well, but he shuddered at the thought of Kishiko mistaking it for him avoiding her in any sense, and so instead he opted to make his way to the kitchen to prepare himself some food. There were plenty of leftovers from the previous night, which would go to waste if no one else wanted it. The last thing he liked was wasted food. And so, rolling up his sleeves, he grabbed a couple bento boxes from a cabinet and set to making some small meals, from himself or whoever else would need a quick one. He did it all with surprising speed, as he didn't have to worry about the small space with a dozen bodies like he was used to. He even surprised himself with how fast he got it done, and set aside one for himself as he stacked the other dozen up to put them into the fridge. He paused for a moment, and then grabbed one more, setting it aside for Kishiko whenever she showed up. Once the rest of them were placed in the fridge, he hastily washed his hands and placed the box into his school bag, wishing he had some honey to put in with the rice.
