8. Hold your Breath

"It's not happening."

Mina pouted as you shook your head, a low whine singing from her throat and you narrowed your eyes, crossing your arms.

"I said, it's not gonna happen. I won't be going."

She fell back onto your bed with a groan like whine, wrinkling several dresses strewn beside her that she had brought to your room for you both to try on.

"Ah come on! You'll have your big Alpha sister to keep you safe! Come have fun!"

'Fun' would be the last thing you'd have…

Not only were you bruised and tired from your battle, you didn't want to expose yourself to the public. Not yet anyway.

One class full of Alphas was trouble enough, let alone unpredictable strangers...

Drinking would be out of the question and you didn't dance. It was simply too much risk for too little reward.

Mina whined again and she reached out to grab you by your hands, pulling you to sit beside her on top of a skimpy red slip.

"You really don't wanna go?" Her voice was soft, her brows furrowed with a sad resigned look.

She was giving up. Finally.

You gave a small smile of victory and shook your head again, seeing her deflate with a little bit of guilt swimming in your chest.

It was for the best. Best for you and for her. She wouldn't have to worry about you all night.

"I really don't. Anyway, I think I'll enjoy having the dorms to myself for a little while." You gave her hands a reassuring squeeze, trying your best to pull her out of her lowering mood by picking up a pair of earrings from Minas jewelry box and hovering them by her ears, pretending to play designer.

It seemed to work as she smiled and lifted her chin, letting you hum and huff, trying another pair over her ears as you helped her pick.

"Maybe you can come hang downstairs for a little bit before we all go? Have a taste of the energy?"

You shrugged, inclining your head towards your pillow. It had been a very long day…

"I might just stick around up here and get a nap before I make some food. I'm beat after all that training."

Your eyes caught a bruise that peaked out from your upper arm from Izukus Blackwhip as you looked away back to Mina.

The bruise itself actually wrapped around your chest and opposite arm too but your clothes hid it well and you didn't want to upset Izuku for putting up a great fight.

Mina sighed and threw her arms up.

"Well fine, I'm so sad I don't get to see you in a cute dress... But sure, have your nap! You'll see us all hungover in the morning." She winked and gave your cheek a quick peck. To both of your suprise, you felt your cheek heat up a little and Minas mouth watered.

Biology.

Instinct.

Harmless.

You both shrugged it off.

With a wave, she carried her dresses out and closed your door behind her, leaving you on your own at last to revel in your earlier victory on the battlefield.

Even if it was a draw.

It was deadly silent in the dorms when your eyes fluttered open to your stomach growling.
