Enigma

Confidence and Winners

"IS THAT SHINSOU'S SWEATER!?" Mina screeched as Celeste walked into the girls bathrooms.

"Uhhh, yea."

"OMG, ARE Y'ALL DATING?!"

"N-no! Mina! Please lower your voice!"

Celeste said, trying to hush her.

"He slept over, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED, well I mean we kissed but..."

"I KNEW IT! But wait- you aren't dating?!"

"I-I mean we haven't talked about it and I mean look at me, hard person to love here." she mumbled out.

Mina frowned and took her hands. "You are an amazing girl! Never put yourself down! Why don't we go shopping this weekend? Girls day with Jirou?"

"Y-yea, I'd like that."

"Fab! So what's this about you and Shinsou kissing?"

"Well we've kissed a few times now...but we're not dating! He probably doesn't even like me..."

Mins looked at her with wide eyes and a 'really' look.

"Cel, does it look like Shinsou would kiss or SHOW AFFECTION to anyone if he didn't like them?"

"I- I mean maybe..."

"Girl."

"No..."

"Ok, so do you like him?"

"Y-yes. A lot."

"So ask him out!"

Celeste looked at her and shook her head violently.

"I can't do that! If he doesn't like me back... I'll break on the spot and then he'll hate me!"

Mina put her arm around the girl and sighed.

"We really gotta work on that self confidence girl."

"Ok."

Mina said her goodbye and walked out of the bathroom leaving Celeste to get ready. Once she changed she waited outside Shinsou's dorm for him to emerge and join her. She still had his sweater on over her outfit. It was comforting to her and she found it extremely comfortable. Raising the hood, she buried her face into the fabric and happily sat next to the door.

"Sorry, been waiting long?" He asked her, stepping out of his dorm after a few minutes.

"Nope." She replied, as he helped her stand up and pulled down her hood. "Why did you do that?" She huffed, pulling it back up.

"I want to see your pretty face kitty." He said, putting it down again as Celeste blushed. She adjusted her bangs to let her golden eye peek through and scrunched her nose like a bunny.

"Let's go Toshi!" She said, grabbing his arm and pulling him along happily.

They sat in the grand stage arena together, Celeste wearier than ever now, and watched the last set of battles play out. Bakugou and Todoroki were the finalists, going head to head. Apparently the boy had finally used his flames yesterday against Midoriya. Celeste cheered for her classmates quietly compared to the rest of the crowd and munched on the popcorn sitting on her lap. Bakugou ended up winning, angry that the bi haired boy didn't give the battle his all, yelling and screaming when he was given his award. A part of the girl felt bad for how the blonde was chained up at the ceremony, thinking that it was overkill and a violation of some kind.
