A peculiar type of exhaustion washed over you; it wasn't that you were physically exhausted, it was more you were mentally exhausted. Starting school again after Summer at the same time as your Twitch, Youtube and other Social medias were blowing up was seriously pulling you down. Of course, you were grateful for everything and loved how life was going, but for a little while, you just wanted to sleep. Maybe for a week or two and not wake up until you were completely replenished.

But, you'd made a deal with yourself to upload at least twice each week, whether it be on Youtube or Twitch, and you weren't about to ruin that vow.

It was mid-September. The weather was still relatively warm, with extra daylight hours and a nice breeze that wasn't too hot nor too cold. Occasionally, you decided to go on a walk alone and take some photos, but then you never took your phone and ended up being spammed by Sero who was worried about you (these walks would be up to five hours, and the poor boy was worried if he didn't hear from you after maybe two). You couldn't blame him, though. He was a hero, someone who was used to watching disasters happen and someone who knew the ins and outs of villains. You were a quirkless teenager, and although you were physically tough, you'd still struggle in a fight against someone who had powers. So now wonder he was concerned.

Recently, although the others were busy, you'd heard Kaminari was planning to have a trip to the local arcade or something like that, and while you were excited, you were helping out Kirishima set up the next Meet-And-Greet in October.

You were so focussed on all these projects that you couldn't have fun or relax.

"Y/n, baby, you really need to just... chill," you heard Sero's voice say through your laptop. "I can almost hear the exhaustion in your voice."

"Pfft, I'm fine," you insisted, doodling in your photography portfolio as you tried to figure out aesthetically-pleasing ways to stick in the actual images.

"Promise?" you heard him ask, and you watched as his webcam turned on. He was sat on his bed with a tablet in his lap, hopefully studying maths like he'd said he was doing. A beanie was placed over his hair, and he was looking straight at you with his pinkie finger up. "Pinkie promise?"

Letting out a soft laugh, you raised your own pinkie towards the camera. "Pinkie promise. Just need a little sleep, and I'll be all hunky dory."

"Ew, hunky dory? Am I dating a ninety-year-old?" Sero asked with a teasing grin, looking back down at his tablet and swiping his finger across it. "And your camera was off, so your pinkie promise doesn't count. Because I can't see it."

"You just want to see my beauty in all its glory," you giggled, shaking your head as you turned on your own camera and raised your pinkie a second time. "And it sounds like I'm dating a child when you say stuff like pinkie-promise."

"That sounds a bit dodgy," Sero chuckled, furrowing his eyebrows as he looked up.

"Oh shut up," you laughed, sticking your finger up at him. "Say, Hanta, have you slept well recently? And have the others? I know Ei is super busy with sorting out the Meet & Greet, and I don't want you all dying of exhaustion."

"Yeah, Iida's kinda on our asses at the moment," he grimaced, scratching the back of his neck nervously. "He caught Mina and Denki in Eijiro's room at like, three in the morning a couple nights ago, so he's been really persistent on making sure everyone's sleeping properly. We couldn't stay up even if we chose to!"

"Good on him, send him my thanks next time you see him," you grinned, biting the lid of your pen as you held down the paper with one hand and drew with the other. "CRAP! I smudged it!"

"F," Sero muttered, grinning when you 'punched' the webcam. "Hah! You can't fight me, darling. You're too far away!"

"Then get your ass over here," you replied, pouting at the screen as you attempted to cover up the mistake with a thicker line. "It's been ages since you came over."
