Princess of Peace [BNHA]

Chapter Forty Five

~Amy's POV~

I texted Dad right after I got a copy of my license and sent him a picture of it. He was still avoiding me and had been busy with Naomasa nearly every day since the movie. I couldn't help but feel a little discouraged as I held my breath and waited staring intently at my screen waiting for him to respond.

Nothing.

I frequently checked my phone throughout the evening feeling more discouraged with every glance at the unread message. As I was getting ready for bed I kept checking to make sure the volume on my phone was on so I'd be sure to hear when he responded. After changing into a baby blue nightgown with sheer sleeves and crawling into bed, I took one last look at my phone.

Nothing.

Trying to convince myself he was busy and that I shouldn't worry, I settled back against the super fluffy cloudlike pillows. I picked up each of the plushies atop my bed, gave them each a squeeze before grabbing them all at once and holding them against me while I attempted to sleep.

'Tap'

What was that?

'Tap'

It sounded like someone was hitting the balcony window. I warily rolled over in bed and looked over at my balcony preparing myself for the heart attack that would surely follow if I saw someone standing on my balcony. Luckily, there wasn't anyone there. As I was looking at the balcony I noticed a tiny pebble smack against the glass with another tap.

Wanting nothing more than to take my army of plushies with me, I reluctantly released my plushie pile and crept toward my balcony. A gasp escaped me as I spotted Shinso standing on the lawn below with a hand full of pebbles preparing to throw another. The balcony doors slid open as I activated my quirk. I stepped into the cool night air and leaned over the railing.

"Hitoshi? Is everything okay?" I asked worriedly.

"Come down here." He called back up to me softly,

"B-but it's after curfew." I squeaked.

Shinso chuckled, "we're not going anywhere, just come down here."

"Okay." I scurried back inside, stepped into a pair of slippers and hurried out of my room. Careful to be as quiet as possible so as not to wake any of my possibly sleeping classmates, I made my way outside, meeting Shinso on the front terrace.

He chuckled as he took one look at me, "jeez Princess Scaredy Cat, could you get any cuter?"

I looked down at my somewhat frilly nightgown and blushed. "D-don't be mean!" I uselessly attempted to cover myself.

He chuckled and pulled me to the far end of the terrace. My heart started to race as he pulled me into the darkened corner. My pounding heart calmed a little as I realized he'd pulled me into the dark corner because that was where the bench was and he apparently thought I needed to sit down.

I took a seat on the bench.

Shinso sat beside me and turned his deep indigo eyes on me, "the test was today, right? How'd it go?"

I felt a strange fluttering in my chest. After getting zero response from dad, though I knew he was probably busy and it wasn't his fault in any way, it felt nice that someone else who hadn't been there was interested to know how it had gone. I couldn't help but smile at him, "I kept my promise... I didn't give up...I'm a hero now..well sorta...in emergency situations...I got my license." I stammered helplessly.

Shinso smiled and my heart fluttered once more as he caught my hands in his, "I never doubted you."

Tears welled in my eyes, "thanks for believing in me, Hitoshi."
