Through the Fire

Chapter 6

Came Saturday and the dorms were already built. It was already finished the day before so all that was left is for the students to move in. The girls were finished setting up their rooms and decided to chill in the living room.

They chatted for a few hours and the boys came down one by one.

"Let's go to the mall tomorrow!" Hagakure suggested. The girls and some of the boys were all for it.

"I can't, I'm visiting my mom tomorrow," Uehara replied.

"You're going to visit your mom? Where is she?"

"She's in the hospital. I visit her every Sunday."

The girls accepted her reason. Uehara felt how Todoroki was staring at her. She looked back and smiled at him.

The night came and everyone had to go to their respective rooms.

Uehara wasn't sleepy and just stared at the wall. Thinking about how she's going to befriend everyone to somehow get their trust. Even go as far as sneaking up on them.

She got so bored, that she thought of going to Aizawa's dorm. And that's what she did.

Aizawa went inside his room and almost had a heart attack.

"Could you please call me before coming here?" he demanded.

The girl laughed at him while he sighed, closing the door behind him.

"Aizawa, I'm bored."

She was lying on his bed and rummaging through her phone. He sat down next to her.

"What do you wanna do?"

He was drying off his hair with a towel when Uehara suddenly sat up and grabbed his arm.

"Let's go take a walk!" she beamed.

Seriously, he could never match her energy.

"We can't. There're cameras all around campus."

"It doesn't have to be on campus. We could go to other places."

She was like the devil on his shoulder telling him to do bad things. Teachers and students have a curfew. They aren't allowed to go out past 7. But the devil stared at him with big eyes, hopeful he'd say yes.

He sighed once again.

"Let's go."

He couldn't help but smile when his devil grinned so wide.

They both went into the portal Uehara made. On the other side, they were at the beach. The salty breeze was colder than usual. And the water was glowing from the moon's reflection.

As she requested, they went for a stroll beside the sea while holding hands.

They were just talking about anything when Uehara noticed Aizawa's hand slightly trembling. She couldn't help but laugh.

"Shou, are you cold?" she giggled. He grimaced.

"I'm not used to wearing thin clothing outside." he reasoned out.

In all fairness, he does usually wear a sweater and sweatpants. He even has his weapon as his scarf.

She mocked him for a few seconds before she showed him her other palm. She lit up her purple fire for him.

She mocked him more when he surrounded his hand to the fire. Uehara couldn't help but kiss him on the cheek.

What started as a peck became another make-out session.
