Purple Band-Aids (ShinKami)

Chapter Fifty-Four

"Alright, my mom has been bugging me like crazy, but I think it's finally time I invite you to my house this weekend. My family is travelling over here, and I want you to meet them. Also to actually have time to talk to my parents if you wanted," Shinso says all at once while they're studying in the library.

"What?"

Kaminari is just shocked and honestly really nervous because this is Shinso's family and that's a big deal. They just started using each other's first names more recently. 

Meeting more of his family is a big thing. 

"You don't have to, but I'm asking if you'd like to come over this weekend," Shinso offers, giving him a way out.

Kaminari's anxiety would really like to take that way out, but another part of Kaminari is really excited that Shinso is actually asking him to meet more of his family. Shinso actually wants him to.

"I- okay, I'm going to be really nervous and awkward, but yes, I would like to go over to your house."

With that, they both go back to studying for another ten minutes on their own before question time. 

Question time is when both Shinso and Kaminari ask each other a question that they may have about the lesson. Then the other person either helps them with that question, or tells them they had the same one before working together to find an answer to it. 

It's very effective. 

Since they study for two hours every other day, their grades have shot up, and Kaminari has moved up in rank even more. 

Once they're done with studying, they put their stuff away and get ready for bed. Studying helps them wind down, especially since it makes Kaminari exhausted to the max. It's so boring. 

Since they showered after practicing skateboarding and before going to the library, they said goodnight and went into their own rooms. 

Shinso had to miss school tomorrow for a dentist appointment, but he would still be getting up at the same time as usual to get ready for it since it was so early in the day. It was a routine appointment, nothing out of the ordinary.

Smushy hopped up onto the bed and curled up into Kaminari's side.

He doesn't keep her in his dorm all day, that would be mean of him. He let's her roam around on his dorm floor with his room door open while he studies sometimes.

Other times he just takes her downstairs to the common area where most of the class pets her and gets along with her.

As he pets her, he slowly feels his medication start working, falling asleep in a few minutes.

The class was getting ready to internship more with hero agencies.

Last year, they spent a little time with the agency that chose them and Kaminari didn't like his, so when another agency offered him an internship this year, he took it right away.

Aizawa was discussing with each one of them one-on-one what the benefits of choosing the right hero agency could do for them.

They'd already discussed their abilities and assets, so all that was left was actually interning.

They'd spend three weeks with this agency.

It was kind of scary.

After three weeks of interning, and one extra week to write it, a report to Mr. Aizawa was to be turned in about the internship. A minimum of two pages.
