"I love you..." You whispered and leaned close, pressing a soft kiss to his lips. It caught him by surprise, but he quickly kissed back. It was supposed to be a sweet...
𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊 𝐓𝐎 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘. All the negative thoughts and feelings were put on hold for holiday break. All the bad things in the world were practically forgotten for the few weeks of the holidays. No one cared about what happened before break, not all the problems that occurred before it. Nothing matter unless it was positive and beautiful. But that break was over, and that fantasy world everyone ran to for cover and comfort, was gone. It was time to come back to reality.
Reality was something everyone, at one point, had a fear of facing. Reality was a form of truth, and truths are seen as ugly while lies are seen as beautiful. People hate the truth if it hurts, they don't want to believe it, so the deem it hideous. People love lies because it keeps them in a fantasy, a daze where everything is okay because if it's not, they'll break down. Lies are beautiful because lies are dreams.
But we suffer more often in our imagination than in reality. And that is because fantasy and reality often overlap. Dreams are dangerous when they're all you have, when they're all you use. Reality is harsh, reality doesn't care about dreams, reality needs hope and work, and if you can't meet that, than that fantasy will extinguish like a fire to a candle, being blown out.
A few days before school was back, the newly married couple returned home from their honeymoon with the same glow they shared at their wedding. Aizawa planned their vacation perfectly, all Niari had to do was relax and enjoy herself, and she did exactly that. He made sure of it.
When school started back, the students of UA flooded back to their dormitories. Not long into the new semester was the Work Studies brought back up. You chose Mirko's agency while Izuku and Bakugo chose Endeavor's agency with Todoroki, surprisingly. Izuku tried to convince you to join, too, but you adamantly refused. Hell no.
On the side, you were working with Rufaro and Omari to learn as much as you could about your family, specifically your grandmother. Clearly, thanks to the knowledge of Miyori, there was a lot that you didn't know and needed to learn. You wanted to drift into the Spiritual Realm to speak to your grandmother, but she told you not go there unless necessary for your safety. So, you couldn't rely on her for information, not that she would tell you.
Within two weeks of school coming back, you were at Mirko's agency. She was very understanding and kindhearted from what you've gathered. You admired her, she was a role model for black woman in the Japanese hero society. She didn't fit the Japanese beauty standard, but was still considered one of the most beautiful heroes and was in the top 10 most popular. She's perfect.
"I'm glad you took my offer and joined my agency for your Work Studies." Mirko greeted you with a smile, that you returned. "Walk with me." She gestured you over, and you followed. The two of you began walking. "A vast majority of my workers and sidekicks are people of color. Majority, those who are of African descent. One of the ways I choose to represent our community."
