Texting Ling Yao

Y/N POV

What do I say...? I'm not good at this stuff...I don't know how to explain it...hmm...

"I'm sorry, but I don't really know how to explain my feelings towards you..." I reply honestly.

Tokoyami opens his beak to say something, but soon closes it.

Tokoyami walks towards me and pulls me into a hug.

I snuggle my face into his chest.

I then remember the pain in my arm.

Why does my arm hurt?

I look at my arm and see that it's bleeding...a lot.

Oh yeah...I need to head to Recovery Girl's temporary office...

I gently push Tokoyami away and start walking to Recovery Girl's temporary office.

"Where are you going?" Tokoyami asks.

Did he forget Dark Shadow cut my arm numerous times...?

"My arm is bleeding," I reply.

"Oh...yeah..." Tokoyami mumbles.

I continue walking, Tokoyami following me.

Recovery Girl heals my arm and warns,
"It isn't good to keep hurt yourself on purpose in battle. Try to carry chalk with you if you need to draw one of those alchemy circles. I should probably start calling you the Blood Alchemist or something..."

I nod and exit her temporary office.

I start walking back to my seat.

"Sis, you should seriously stop drawing transmutation circles with your blood, there's no way that's healthy," Shouto says, handing Chi to me.

Chi meows in agreement.

"Shouto...I can't remember the last time I had an actual meal or a night where I've gotten the suggested amount of rest...drawing transmutation circles with my own blood is not really something I worry about," I reply, sitting down with Chi in my lap.

I pet Chi.

"Hey...aren't you up against Momo, brother?" I ask Shouto.

Shouto nods and soon leaves to go to the arena, Momo behind him.

I wish them both good luck.

I then feel my phone vibrate.

I take out my phone and see it's a text from Touya:

Touya: Hey, is your arm okay?

Me: Yep

Touya: That's good

Me: Who do you think will win?

Me: Momo or Shouto

Touya: Shouto Todoroki
