"We're not watching this show dubbed," I said, reaching for Shinso's phone. "Use your phone to change it on the app, please."

Shinso was sitting next to me on the couch, ready for our normal Sunday night anime viewing. Bakugo and Kirishima were at the gym training. Mina and Uraraka were doing homework at one of the tables, and Kaminari and Sero were playing on their Switches at one of the other tables. Just a pretty normal night for once.

As I reached for his phone, Shinso held it away so I couldn't grab it.

"I like the dubbed," he said. "It means I can pay more attention to you instead of reading the subtitles."

"You just made my point for me. Give me your phone and I'll do it."

He held it a little further away, the dopey grin on his face making it obvious that Shinso just wanted to play fight. Well, two could play that game. I had my own ways of fighting.

"Then I want that attention right now," I said, trying to sound as sexy and pouty as I could. I placed one hand behind his neck and slowly pulled him to me. Just like I knew he would, he put his phone down and reached for me, leaning down and...Bingo.

While he thought he was about to get a kiss. I swerved at the last minute and picked the phone right up.

"Ha! Got it!" I exclaimed, entering the same passcode he always used.

"No fair. You cheated."

"No, I didn't."

"Sure. Okay. Go ahead and change it to subtitled then. I'll get some snacks."

Looking down at the phone, I saw that one app was already open.

This wasn't our show, this was... something else. Something entirely else. Something...

What was this?

"Hitoshi Shinso."

"Ooh my full name. What's up?" he asked, sitting down by me again and handing me some chips.

"What is this?"

I held the phone up, screen facing him so he could see what I was seeing. The fact that it took him more than a second to respond told me all I needed to know.

"It's like a radar? You know, for watching the weather."

"I know what a radar is and this ain't it. I'm going to ask one more time. What. The hell. Is this?"

Shinso sighed deeply. "It's a map. Of where things are."

"So what 'thing' is at the dot labeled with my name exactly?"

"Uh..."

"Is this.... Is this what I think it is?" I couldn't believe that I was about to ask him this. "Are you tracking my location somehow?"

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Mina and Uraraka pick up their books and sneak out of the room quickly.

Shinso opened his mouth as if he were about to explain, but then changed his mind.

"Yes."

"How?" I asked, feeling steam coming out of my head, "Tell me right now."

Shinso slowly reached for my neck, and I flinched. But then his fingers wrapped around my silver kitten charm with the pretty purple gem. "This," he said quietly.

"Holy shit."

For at least a minute we sat in silence. I honestly didn't know what to say.

"Shinso, this is like next level jealousy. I know you haven't liked that I've been hanging out with some of our other classmates, but at least they wouldn't stoop this low."
