Forget Me Not (A Midnight Story)

Chapter 7: Pink Kisses

Midnight was reading her diary of secrets, engrossed with what she was seeing. Not only did she find the secret to how her quirk worked, but she also learned about a friend she had made in high school. She could not help but think to herself "Where can I find her? Is she a Pro Hero? Is she even alive?"

All of a sudden, Midnight was startled by somebody knocking on her door frame. She looked up and saw that it was Mr. Aizawa. "Got you in the middle of something?" "No!" Midnight yelled quickly in response. "Well, it's time for our next lunch meeting." Mr. Aizawa told her.

She got up out of her seat and walked with Aizawa to the cafeteria. Once there, she found Togata, Eri, Yaoyororzu, and Midoriya sitting at the same table as yesterday. "Nice to see you again Miss Kayama!" said Yaoyorozu as Midnight sat right next to her. "Great to see you again too! How have you been?" Midnight said, feeling a tight bond with the raven haired girl. "I've still been trying my best, both in hero work and studies."

Midoriya responded, "Yeah, she has always been top of the class!" Kayama turned to Midoriya, "So, is anything new going on?" He looked around for a few seconds before recollecting himself, "Nothing really, but I feel like Uraraka's been acting strange today. She was called out of the room for a second by somebody and when she came back, she started acting more giggly than usual. She's also been blushing a lot and acting very clingy around me."

Kayama looked at him for a second, "Very attentive to her aren't you?" she said in a teasing manner. Midoriya's face went beet red, "WHAT? I mean she is very nice girl and all and is kinda cute butwe'rejustfriendsIswear!" Everybody else just laughed in response.

Next, Midnight put her attention on Togata, "Got anything new you'd like to add?" Mirio simply shook his head, "No ma'am, but I think there is someone who would like to ask you something really special." He pointed to little Eri, who was sitting right next to him. "Go ahead" he whispered.

Eri hesitated for a second, but quickly recollected herself, "So, Miss Midnight, I really like your hair. It's very pretty. When I was really little, my daddy used to style my hair. I have always wanted to do it to somebody else. I have a hair styling kit Mirio got me for Christmas, but I haven't found anybody for me to practice on. Can I style your hair during lunch tomorrow, please?"

Midnight's heart practically melted, "Of course sweetheart! I would love that." she said in an almost motherly voice. "Yay!" Eri cheered, almost loud enough for the entire cafeteria to hear. Midnight and Togata tried to shush her, but were still very touched to see her this happy.

"So I've been learning how to use my quirk again." Midnight said, "It took me a while to get the hang of it, but I remembered to relax and not let anything bother me". Midoriya and Yaorozou took note, "Maybe relaxing and focussing instead of tensing up can make our quirks even more effective" Midoriya pointed out, "Thanks for the tip!"

After a while, it was time for Midnight to say goodbye and continue her day. Before she left, she made sure to pinkie promise Eri that she would let her practice styling her hair. Midnight made it back to her office and plucked out her diary, flipping open to a few pages in the middle.

August 4

Lately I have been developing a crush on this boy in my class. His name is Asashi. He has blue eyes and hair. His quirk allows him to emit a beam of blue lightning from his hand, allowing him to use it as a whip or lasso. I love his fierce determination, kind heart, and his awesome quirk. I think his whip power would compliment my costume design if we were partners.
