- "THIS IS TERRIFYING..."
class 1-b finally arrives at the training camp the next morning, the first thing they encounter being the brutal training class 1-a was undergoing.
scarlet energy dances around my fingertips, two large masses of boulders, weights, and other various heavy items wrapped in scarlet binds as i float them in the air in behind me. the fogginess envelopes my brain, covering it with cotton and squeezing it dry. static rings through my ears as kirishima hardens his body.
"i'm ready!"
my arms swing, one boulder crashing down on his body, and then the other. dumbbells, weights, and rocks crumble onto the ground.
the scarlet binds dissipate, and a wave of pain slams into me. i take a deep breath, biting my cheek as scarlet energy flows around my hands again, and i concentrate on pushing all the scarlet energy to swirl into my palm.
pixie bob adds more weight to the boulders as scarlet binds wrap around them- while sweat pools under my bangs- and i float them above the ground again.
kirishima grins widely, nodding as i smile back.
after three hours of grueling training, the sun has risen to a higher place in the sky, light pinks and purples from sunrise replaced with bright blue. white clouds blot throughout, blowing in the breeze that rustles my bangs and cools the line of sweat that drips down the side of my face.
after a few more hours of training, i sigh, falling back onto the grass. the throb in my head subsides as i close my eyes, the fresh scent of grass and soft gusts of wind calming the headache down to a faint numbness.
izuku falls onto the grass, laying on his back next to me as his breaths even out. "how's training?"
"hurts. you?"
"hurts." he nods, sighing.
after a few moments of laying against the grass, izuku sighs and pushes himself up off of the ground, blocking the beams of sunlight and casting a shadow over me as he holds his hand out.
i smile, my eyelids opening slowly as i sit up and reach out, our hands clasped together firmly as he pulls me up.
🩹
the sky shines shades of yellow and orange as i strip from the tracksuit, letting the steaming hot water of the shower burn my skin and sink into my aching muscles.
