Ssshhhhh

Just read.....I know it's been a while just shhh enjoy the update.

~~~~~~~~~

After dinner, we all headed inside to fix ourselves for bed and let me tell you it took a while. A shower was an all needed desire before sleep. To be honest I didn't think that I would sweat so much.

I rubbed the towel over my damp hair laying down on my "bed" Mina ran up to me tackling me while smacking me with a pillow, "Ai! I surrender!!"

"I thought you were a warrior (Y/n)? Warriors never give up!!"

"I don't remember mentioning I was one, to begin with"

We laughed waiting for the rest of the females to walk in and finally sleep.

•~3 Days later~•

"I'm going to die!!!"

"Stop complaining"

I sniffled while rubbing my sore wings," but it hurts" I whispered Aizawa sensei glared at me from the top of the rocks making me feel small.

"If you finish this I'll let you join the others in the nightly games they have planned for tonight"

"Wait and if I don't?"

"Then you'll spend the rest of the night here training"

"WHAT!? That's not fair!"

"Life isn't fair now hurry up"

I groaned loudly dragging the giant boulder strapped to me, flapping my wings I angrily lifted the boulder slowly but surely up the hill.

Apparently, this training is to strengthen my wings while flying but carrying a boulder up a mountain wasn't really the way I was thinking of training.

I huffed every few seconds holding the straps that binded me with the bolder as i slowly but sure made it to the first cliff.

"Alright 2 more to go"

•~3 hours later~•

"I made it!!"

"Took you long enough, go join the others"

I quickly took the straps off ready to run down the mountain but then I realized how high we were. And my wings were hella sore from flapping like crazy. I turned to Aizawa Sensei nervously laughing, "... I'm not carrying you down the mountain"

"Damn"

I sighed dropping my wings dragging them behind making my way down the hill on foot. Following the dirt trail, I noticed a cave with a warning sign saying to keep out. I can hear constant screaming which was kinda scary I will admit. I squint my eyes looking in closer making out two figures.

There's really only one person who has a bird head in my class and that's Fumi-kun. I decided that I should leave him because like the sign says 'KEEP OUT' in bold letters, I continue my way down massaging my wings. I extended my wings getting the satisfied crack out of them, "That sounded painful"

I turned to the voice laughing and scratched the back of my head, "Nah it felt good like one of those stretches you do when you wake up, you're Kota right?"

He glares at me but nods hiding behind some boulders. I get closer jumping up on the boulder sitting on the flat surface. Kota just stands grumbling, "You know you remind me of my twin brother, he's always in a bad mood especially around Izuku you know the guy you punch in the baby maker"

I smiled down at him crossing my legs over each other. He doesn't say anything turning around, I hummed taking out my tendril picking him up. He shouts at me to put him down, I sat him next to me smiling, "What you're doing is pointless"

"How so?"

I made the tendril disappear in my back along with my wings. He pulls his knees closer to his face looking away. "It just is... "

I hummed leaning back then to him I looked at my hand then to Kota. I rubbed his head through his hat getting his attention, "I really like your hat mind if I copy it?"

He raised an eyebrow asking what I tapped the front lifting my finger and another hat exactly like his appeared in my hand. His eyes widen looking at me, "Just so I don't end up taking your cool hat by accident"

I pull out a marker from the palm of my handwriting my name in it. I showed it to him grinning and placed it on, "So how's it look? Am I cool like you?" he squints his eyes at me clicking his tongue at me looking away.

"What is your quirk? I'm so confused"

"After this semester it's more complex than what I originally thought. My quirk is Copy with just one tap I can copy the person's quirk making it my own my body naturally removes quirks that I haven't used for a while... But it's like there's no limit to my collection of Quirks. Weird isn't it? I just figured out today I can even use two completely different quirks at the same time... Sometimes I feel overpowered with this ability"

"Overpowered? You look like a newborn elephant trying to walk for the first time whenever I see you using two different Quirks"

I laughed at his comment not really being able to argue with that. I sit up straight turning my body to him. "You want to see something cool?"

He raised his eyebrow again sighing nodding at me. I grabbed his hand laying mines on top I closed my eyes taking a deep breath slowly raising it up. A white ball comes out of his hand startling him at first but calmed down.

I turned my hand around opening my eyes the white ball twirls turning into a butterfly. Its wings were made of water with small bits of it falling off, "What is that?"

"It's a life butterfly, a bit of me and you,  it holds memories of what we experienced together. It even heals those in emotional pain, need help in remembering, or alert people who are in danger"

The butterfly flaps its wings landing on his nose. He sneezes throwing the butterfly I catch it looking at its wings glisten in the sun, "It can even turn into a pin" the butterfly stiffens laying still in my hand. I looked at Kota noticing the tear run down his face. I lifted his chin looking closer surprised at the outcome of this. Perhaps showing him this wasn't a good idea.

"I'm sorry if I offended you in any way--"

"You didn't it's just... Complicated"

I looked down at the butterfly pin handing it to him with a smile. He grabs it pinning it on the side of his hat looking up at me, I wipe his face from any tears rolling down. I don't know what he's been through and its not my place to know or ask unless he wants to tell me. So I'll wait won't be today or tomorrow that he'll want to express his feelings but I'll wait.

I wrap my arm around him rubbing his shoulder little sniffles came out of him I just let him cry it out not saying a word. Sometimes just being with someone is more than enough for people.
