Mira (Shinsou Hitoshi x BNHA OC)

Her fingers drummed against the desk, sighing heavily as the sounds of rain seemed to make the world around her seem calm and close. The clouds had that murky grey color, making the people below seem to be dipped in palettes of similar tones.

The only specks of colors being the bright shiny galoshes or the opening of umbrellas that looked to resemble that of a flower opening for the first time after a long winter. The device creating a speck of bright color among the dreary outside world, as well as keeping dry the poor person who had to leave the comfort of their home for the wet outside.

Luckily for her... she could sit from the comfort of her room and watch as people passed by. Students off to spend time together and get away from the dorms that had more and more begun to feel like prisons to those who had been practically forced to move into.

Maybe forced wasn't the right word... but given the choice between attending UA and moving into the dorms or not moving in and having to find a new high school to go to... seemed to have put a lot of the students between a rock and a hard place. Especially for her...

...and on days like this... Mira just wanted to be home with her family again. Days like these in her memories had always been ones where they'd all be close by, talking, laughing, and joking about with one another. A mug of cocoa and a warm blanket, the sounds of her sister snorting from laughing so hard, and her parents asking her trivial but meaningful questions about her life.

The days that now only existed in her memories and stirred much melancholy nostalgia in her heart. Mira was never one to often cling to such emotions, her own upbringing had been a rather supportive and stable one... but you can't help homesickness.

You can't help the memories your heart desires to recreate.

A soft buzzing came near her feet, eyes of amber meeting a lit up screen. An alert displaying on the device, her eyes making out just what is said. And just as the message had told her, the door to her dorm room opened, a figure shuffling in.

"You look cold..." Shinsou muttered, carrying a plastic bag in each hand with him.

Mira chuckled, continuing to glance out her window at the passerbyers. She wasn't exactly sure why he was here... or what he wanted just yet... but knowing Shinsou he'd tell her in that ever blunt and monotone voice of his.

"Not really... just feeling like a cozy day in." The peach haired girl admitted, adjusting the blanket that was sitting across her lap.

Shinsou wasn't wrong in his assumption though, she did look cold now that she took in her own attire. A UA sweatshirt, baggy sweats that were made of the most comfortable fabric, and of course the blanket.

"Well don't get heat stroke from all those layers..." Shinsou spoke, placing the bags down in front of her on the ground.

He strode away from the girl, going to grab a pillow and spare blanket from her bed before setting up his own little area below her window seat. His wild strands of violet blocking her vision a bit. His hair was always so strange... always up, despite how he claimed to never do anything to it.

Another thing to add to why Shinsou Hitoshi was one of the strangest people Mira had ever had the chance of meeting. And to add to it, he seemed to be content helping himself to her favorite pillow and fuzzy blanket.

"And what are you doing here, Hitoshi?" She rose a peach-colored brow.

"I was going to watch a movie... thought it would be better to watch it with someone rather than by myself..." He mumbled, nodding to himself at his little sitting spot. "You have a laptop or a tv?"

"I have a TV and a laptop. You can stream it from my laptop..." Mira mumbled, eyes glancing outside, only to suddenly realize something. "Hey wait a second! Why did you come to me?!"

Shinsou could only snicker, lifting and placing a plastic convenience store bag next to her. He began to set up the movie as Mira looked through the bag. Her eyes widened, taking out a plastic wrapped package and looking to the tired-eyed boy.

"Are these...?"

Shinsou turned to look at her, nodding. "Yeah, jelly beans."

"These are... these are my favorites..." She mumbled, a soft smile forming on her lips. "How did you know?"

Shinsou chuckled once. "Kinda hard not to since you go on about how this kind is the best and that no other brand of jelly bean compares. And you do it almost every day...like the annoying person you are."

"Watch it cabbage patch... you are still in my room..." Mira deadpanned, peeling off the plastic wrap on the box. "What else is in here though..."

She pulled out a large package the plastic crinkling as she looked. The cover displayed some oddly shaped snacks as they were in the shapes of square tubes. And to add to this weird snack, the flavors were pea, potato, and tomato. Mira looked to Shinsou, seeing him having looked at her as she had grown quiet.

"You're trying to eat healthy, right?" He shrugged. "My dad keeps talking about how tasty these are... like chips, but made out of vegetables. Thought you should give them a try."

"Who are you and where is the Toshi that seems annoyed with me all the time?" Mira laughed, popping open the bag and putting one into her mouth.

Her eyes lit up and she glanced at the boy who was now on his feet once more. Shinsou turned off the lights, the illumination of the TV giving off enough light for the both of them to see. The beginning credits of the movie beginning to show allowing her to see what movie Shinsou had dragged her into watching with his impressive and delicious bribes.

"Is this what I think it is?" She sighed.

"A horror movie?"

"Yup."

"I'd say you are correct then."

"This is why you can't sleep, huh?"

"I don't sleep by choice."

"Well... if I scream like a maniac... it's your fault."

"I'll fully take that responsibility."

Mira burst out laughing once more, her normal happy and carefree attitude seeming to begin to bubble back to the surface. Shinsou wouldn't lie to himself to admit he was worried about her today...

She had been off... and as one of his only friends... he wanted to make sure she was alright. But didn't want to cross a boundary with her personal life. So instead he thought a quiet movie night in would at least make her smile again.

And unknowing to the boy was was now leaning against the bed as the opening credits rolled on, Mira was thankful for him. She needed this... needed someone to spend time with her today. This crushing loneliness of a change and a new start making her feel a bit isolated.

But now with Shinsou at her side and her favorite snack in her hands... this rainy evening was turning into something better. And she knew in her heart that she'd look back on this memory fondly.

And as the movie finally started, Mira couldn't help but wish for more just like this to come in the future.
