After an event in her early adolescence that changed the entire trajectory of her life, and in how she viewed her quirk, Hitomi Kanetsukabe was ecstatic to find she'd been admitted to UA's hero course.
Her high school life was just beginning, and sh...

Hitomi was camping out in the room Uraraka, Jirou, and Hagakure shared, trying to forget what happened at the beach as they all watched a movie.
She'd stayed alone on the blanket for the rest of the time they were there, because 1) she couldn't move around as much unless she wanted to risk reopening the cut, and 2) no more hanging around Bakugou.
She was supposed to be avoiding him, anyway. Moments like... like that only served to make a fool of herself in front of him, not to mention that talk they'd had about their friendship only made her feel worse.
They were friends... and there was no way she wanted to risk ruining that.
As soon as classmates started leaving, she got the hell out of there, gratefully accepting Jirou's invitation to watch a movie in her room. Hitomi had actually ended up using her shower, since she still hadn't had the chance to check out her own room and refused to leave the sanctuary Jirou had unknowingly given her.
Despite the distraction she'd been provided, though, Hitomi still couldn't get what happened with Bakugou earlier out of her head.
The feeling of his hands on her back, the way he seemed to be so gentle; she'd even noticed how he made sure not to touch her in places where she'd feel uncomfortable-
"Fucking shit!" Hitomi suddenly exclaimed, her face flushing as she slammed her hand on the carpet.
Her friends all stared at her with bewildered expressions on their faces.
"...you okay, Hitomi?" Jirou asked, raising a brow.
"Huh?!" Hitomi stiffened, realizing that to them she'd suddenly cursed for no apparent reason. Lucky for her, the characters in the movie had just encountered the big villain, their odds of not dying looking quite low.
"Um... just worried for them, is all," Hitomi stuttered, looking away.
"Hitomi, are you feeling okay?" Hagakure asked, her clothes leaning forward from her place on her bed. "Your face looks really red. You're not sick again, are you?"
Hitomi waved her off, laughing. "What are you talking about? I'm fine!" Right then her voice cracked, making her cringe.
Uraraka suddenly placed a hand on Hitomi's forehead, gasping.
"Hitomi, you're feeling really warm!"
"I told you, I'm fine!!" the bluenette choked out, getting more flustered.
