"Coy!"

Uraraka shouted with worry as she found Coy standing on her balcony, staring up at the sky. It was a chill night, and Coy only had on a pair of pajama shorts and a gray cami. The greenette looked over her shoulder at Uraraka as the brunette rushed out onto the balcony, a blanket in her hands as she stood beside Coy, wrapping the soft blanket around their shoulders to help protect them from the cold.

"What are you doing? You'll get sick!" Uraraka fretted, only to freeze at the soft smile Coy gave her, shoulders shaking in a silent giggle. Uraraka's worried look automatically softened as she watched the relaxed look Coy held.

Coy looked up at Uraraka as the brunette laced their fingers together, the taller raising a slow hand to rest on the mute's cheek. Coy leaned into the touch, a, almost, serene smile on her face.

Uraraka shot up at the sound of knocking on her door, she blinked the sleep from her eyes, turning her head to eye her surroundings, looking for Coy. She let out a heavy sigh, tears pooling in her eyes as she rested her elbows on her desk, burying her face into her hands with a groan, and whispering a curse under her breath.

Papers and books littered the room, several scattered on the desk and some even thrown somewhere on her bed. And a few seemed to have fallen to the floor, after Uraraka had fallen asleep while she was staying up last night, looking through Coy's journals and notes about Myths and so on, looking for something that might help her find Coy or could possibly help Syrax, Anzu, and Amarok, track or contact her.

Another knock broke Uraraka from her thoughts, and the brunette glanced at the door with a deep furrow of her brows. She turned to Syrax, who was curled next to her, the snake having been insistent on not leaving the brunette's side these two weeks Coy had been missing, adamant on helping Uraraka in any way she could, to find the girl she seen as another one of her snakelets. Anzu and Amarok also refused to leave the girl alone, staying in the brunette's room. However, the two stuck to trying to find a way to connect with Coy, in hopes that she could give some sign of where she was; the two currently laying on Uraraka's bed. ━━It was a strange concept, the bonds Coy held with the creatures she summoned, but it was no secret that Coy communicated well with all of them.

Uraraka looked back at the white serpent, who was also awake, head perked up as it eyed the door, before meeting Uraraka's eyes. "Can you get the door?" Syraxs' head bobbed in a nod, before uncurling, sliding her way towards the door as Uraraka ran her hands through her messy hair, hoping to wake herself.

"Oh," Uraraka looked back at the door at the voice, as Syrax opened it, blinking at the sight of her friends. The group consisted of almost the entirety of the class, minus a few, the voice having belonged to Midoriya. "Um, hello Syrax."

Uraraka pushed her chair away from her desk, standing to her feet and approaching the door as Syrax curled back, "what are you guys doing here?"

"Uraraka!"

The group seemed relieved to finally see the brunette, however, their faces fell slightly at the girls disheveled state. Her hair was a mess, from the several times in a day she would push it back and run her hand through it, and she would mostly be seen in her training clothes and pajamas. Even during class, her state never seemed to change, and Aizawa always had to call out to her to get her to pay attention. Sometimes Uraraka didn't show up for class at all, and the teachers usually had to go to the dorms to try and coax her away from her desk. ━━Uraraka had made it clear she didn't like how they continued school, as if Coy wasn't missing. Even despite their explanation that they were doing everything they can to find her, but they couldn't just stop classes, but Uraraka was having none of it.

Mina stepped forward, hands folded in front of her chest, "oh honey, you look...."

Uraraka could only stare at them with an exhausted frown, "if you guys are here to get me to come out, it's not going to happen. I have to find Coy."

Bakugo pushed his way to the front of the class, a scowl on his face, "alright Mochi-face, you haven't been eating properly, haven't been coming to class, and have barely stepped foot out of this room! Everyone's fucking worried for you, so come out, so these idiots can know you're okay!"

"Kacchan━━"

"No," Uraraka stated quickly, "I'll come out when I find Coy."

A tick mark formed on the blond's head, and he was ready to stomp over and drag her out of the room, already approaching before the class could stop him. However, he was stopped by growls and hisses as Syrax curled around Uraraka, Anzu and Amarok no longer asleep on the bed, and now, instead, standing in front of the brunette, growling and barring their fangs at the blond and the rest of the class.

Gasps rang behind him as the three myths snarled in warning at the blond. ━━It was an immediate reaction on their part after noticing the girl's stress was rising. Uraraka had grown on each of them when she and Coy started dating, and they were even closer with the brunette now that all four of them were working together to find Coy.

"I said I'm fine." Uraraka stated more sternly, "so, please, leave me alone."

Frowns settled on the group's faces, and all of them wanted to argue, but with the three myths keeping them from getting close, they had no choice but to nod and leave the room, shutting the door as Bakugo stomped out. Uraraka watched them leave, and it only took a few minutes for her to go back to her desk, tears in her eyes, and ready to fall.

Uraraka knew they were just trying to help, and a part of her felt guilty for pushing them away like that. But the part that insisted on finding Coy, outweighed the guilt, causing her to return to the papers scattered about.

She had to find Coy.
