Chapter Text
“The sky sure do looks nice today”
You watch as he looks at the sky, taking in all the pinks and purples from the evening glow, his scars shining with a pinkish shade. You wonder if he’s seeing what you are seeing, so you look through his eyes and saw the same canvas that you both are under.
“Yeah sure, it’s pretty.” You answered with a soft smile on your face.
“Well, i’m heading home now, walk me home?” He gestures you to follow along, while putting his hands in his pockets.
The walk home felt different from usual, but you can’t quite pick on what’s making it feel odd. Is it the awkward silence, or is it the fact that your friend is keeping a distance between both of you, which was weird as he had always walked next to you.
You both reached his house first, as your house is six more houses down the road. Just as you were about to say goodbye, he held your hands with your palm faced up.
“Here, a good luck charm, for tomorrow.” He said while placing a small acrylic pin that resembles an eye with a heart as pupils.
“Thank you? Is this something to do with my quirk?” You questioned him, as it makes sense since you have the quirk to look through other’s peripheral vision.
“Yeah, it reminded me of you.” He smiled, closing my palm with the pin wrapped inside.
“Is there something you want to say to me? You’re acting weird.” You questioned him, trying to figure out what’s going on.
“Oh, was it that obvious?” He said, his head tilted a little.
“Yeah, you’re a little distant today.” You answered, hoping that he’d tell you what’s bothering him.
“It’s just, knowing our quirks, there’s a high probability that you might not…” He paused, looking hesitant to continue.
“I might not…?” You were starting to get a little anxious, is this about the exam tomorrow?
“You might not pass the exam tomorrow… It’s just, your quirk really isn’t made for combat, how are you going to pass looking through people’s eyes?” He finally said it, his honest thoughts.
“Wow, so you do think i’m weak. Thanks a lot Shoto.” You made sure you sound mad, because you really are.
“I know you know what I mean, come on, let’s not fight over this?” He tried to comfort you, but you really don’t want to hear this.
“Ok then let’s make a bet, if I pass the exams tomorrow, you…” You try to think it through, what should you ask him to do.
“I’ll think of something after I pass! But if I don’t pass tomorrow, i’ll make you your cold soba for an entire month!” You proudly promised, placing a bet that you know you’ll win.
“Deal. Then I hope you won’t pass tomorrow.” He chuckled at the stupid bet that you made.
“I’ll definitely pass tomorrow, and if I do, you’ll owe me big time!” You were confident you’re gonna pass tomorrow’s middle school entrance exams, because although you have a weak quirk, you know exactly how to use it.
“Go home already, I’ll see you tomorrow.” Shoto gestures you to move away from the door, then closing it after you wave goodbye.
You know you’ll pass tomorrow, you just know it.
