My Hero Rumi X OC Gambit: First Impression

Chapter 1

Typhoon Amani is breaking records this early in the season.” The soothing voice of the news carried into the bathroom despite the pounding of the rain against the window. “Residents are advised to stay indoors and be prepared for power outages.”

Light nodded, toothbrush half in his mouth. Big storms were always  comforting for the 28 year old since he graduated from U.A 10 years ago.

He’d have to keep his pager on, and his cellphone on him until the storm passed. Fortunately, they were really good at handling storms, a long history of coastal disasters did that to people.

With one last brush he spat out the tooth paste and began to use the mouthwash. His home was clean, if a bit sparse a few pictures of his time at school and few of him and his agency coworkers.

He pushed on his usual shaggy white hair, that covered up most of the left side of the hero's face, 

All things considered, he hadn’t really changed that much since graduation. He was a bit taller, finally able to say that he was over six feet tall. And due to his training, he was a bit more muscular, but still had a lean build. Ehh, he was who he was. And he really should just be getting ready for bed, he needed to get up to keep his work out schedule.

With a yawn - one born from boredom, more than actual tiredness.

A knock, closer to a bang, came from his front door. It was too uniform and forceful to be the wind. Was something wrong? He all but leaped towards the front door.

He knew who she was the moment he saw her.

Her long white  hair and those cute bunny ears  was barely contained in a ponytail that flirted with her hips. Its usual straightness was muted by the rain. Rain had done more than just get her hair wet, her shirt was soaked to the point of being ruined, and her chocolate skin looked like she hadn’t just gotten out of the bath, but that she was still in one.

But, beyond that, there was something off about his ex classmate. She didn’t have her usual ear to ear grin, and her red iris of her eyes lacked the usual flame and energy she was known for as a member of the top 10 hero's.

"Rumi? Is that you is something wrong?” He asked a bit perplexed as they had not spoken to each other since graduation, stepping to the side to let her in and out of the storm

Hey, Light.” She looked up at him, with wiping at her cheeks and forcing a smile. She didn’t seem to even notice the storm. “Do you think I can stay here for a bit?”

“Huh? Yea, sure. Come on in.” He gestured for her as the wind began to blow again sending Rumi’s hair flying and spraying them both with rain. Again, she didn’t seem phased by it at all. “Are you okay, Rumi"

"Fine.” Was all she said as she stepped into his home. She was beyond soaked, water all but pouring off of her. Her lip trembled as she took a couple more steps forwards. “Really really fine. Thanks, Light.”

“Sure, uhh, do you want to take a shower? I can put your clothes in the wash.” This was about the longest he had seen or spoken to Rumi since high school.

Rumi blinked and looked down at her white tank top, her eyes widened slightly as though she just realized how soaked and muddy she was. “Uhh, yea. Where’s your shower?” she asked half anoyed half embarrassed.
