3// Bright Sun, Dark Cloud

POV.Tamaki/third person

After their encounter, Mirio and Tamaki became close, as if they had known each other for years, even if only a few months had passed, Tamaki began to understand why Mirio always smiled, how could he not? He was so bright, he had to all the teachers delighted with his charisma, in the games he always found a way to excel, and he had a good group of friends, he was a girl with a quirk referring to a canine, a red-haired boy with great spirit and a boy of black hair that like Mirio did, always wore it up with pride.

When they met, they were all very friendly, Mirio invented all kinds of action stories to play, The roles were repeated a lot, Mirio and the redhead as heroes, The one with black hair as the villain, The girl would act as a civilian and guide the script of the game, Tamaki for his part, the poor guy had to be the victim, it wasn't so bad, as long as Mirio can save him from the too convincing performance of the black-haired boy.

The bell rang indicating that recess had just begun, children were running in the corridors, the soccer fields were full, the small group went to the small playground, it was a sandbox, slides and swings, some monkey bar and barely something else, but they knew how to make it work.

Girl.- "Guys! Look, look, my mom bought me this jump rope, isn't it pretty?"

The boys turned to the voice of their female friend, the rope was decently long, it was purple with pink handles at each corner of the rope, it had some sparkles on it.

T.- "It looks brilliant..."

Boy1.- "It would look better in blue."

Boy2.- "you have to respond like that to everything...?"

M.- "I agree with Amajiki-kun, the glitter looks great!"

Girl.- "right? Let's play jumping!"

Just when they began to position themselves, the older boys who were playing on the courts approached, it seems that one of them, "the leader", had heard the conversation of the younger ones.

Leader.- "Hey!, that's a nice rope..., you're not planning to waste it on a boring game like jumping, are you?"

The small group stopped, Tamaki felt nervous seeing older children approaching like that, His mom always said not to trust strangers, does that also apply at school? Tamaki, without an answer, unconsciously went behind Mirio, his habit of hiding in the walls seemed to work with Mirio as well, Mirio for his part placed a hand on Tamaki's shoulder and with a smile he answered for the group.

M.- "Well yes!, but I didn't think it was boring..., do you have a game fun than that one?!"

Leader.- "Of course! Hero games are always more fun, do you want to play?"

The group upon hearing the word "hero games" couldn't help but get excited about the idea, Tamaki was still hidden. The boy explained what they would do, one of them would be tied by the hands near the slide, the older boy would play the villain while the other four would be the heroes, the other two older ones would stand on the sides of the slide to see if he didn't cheat when wanting to unleash, it was a 4 vs 1, it sounded like an advantage, right?

Tamaki, without seeming to have any other option, was nominated to act as the victim, nothing new, but he was very nervous, one thing was to play with his friends and another was to play with children from a bigger class, one of the older ones took the rope and almost dragged him to the slide, then, he began to tie the rope, maybe a little too tight, Tamaki twisted uncomfrotable in his place.

M.- "Amajiki-kun are you alright? I'll help you with the ropes!"

Mirio walked towards Tamaki with his typical smile.
