In which she tries her best,
only to fail repeatedly....
that is, until an old friend
comes in clutch once again

TW: name-calling, yelling, guilt-tripping, internalised homophobia (HEAVY), abuse description and physical violence. the chapter's full of it, so just scroll down to the summary

Wednesday the 19th of October, 09:00 in the morning. Exactly forty-eight hours until you would find yourself on a train to Shinjuku City, where the Interhigh Tournament would take place. Hagakure had requested you to sort out the issue with Kaminari and Jirou before you left, something which you only found increasingly difficult as the seconds passed. Mustering up all remnants of your courage, you raised your hand to knock on a door.

Knocking on his door felt foreign to you, for the two of you would always just walk in, that's just how comfortable you were with each other. Of course, now with the tension, you couldn't just waltz in pretending nothing ever happened.

You heard shuffling behind the door, as he walked over to open the door for you.

However, the moment he saw you, he slammed the door shut. Having expected the reaction, you'd brought a thick textbook with you just in case, sliding it inbetween the door and its frame before he could properly close it. You pushed against the door, forcing it open. With that, you walked right in, closing the door behind you.
