Scorched ~Endeavor~

Chapter 6

We moved outside to the backyard so Enji and I can spar. Yagi didn't want to so he watched, and he would stop if it got too far.

I was standing across the yard staring at Enji, I had changed into some other clothes, I would've fought in my skirt but I didn't feel like showing them my goodies. Now I'm in leggings and my sports bra, "Ready?"

Enji nods before his hands erupt in flames, and you know what flames make? Smoke

"Go!"

Shifting in the air I shoot towards Enji, he turns in a circle. "Of come on Alina!Hiding already?"

I growl and move to his shoulders, shifting back I wrap my legs around his neck and pull us down to the ground. He grabs my thighs and tries to pull them off of him but my legs are too strong. Crossing my ankles I squeeze my legs tighter, "Tap out"

He growls before his upper body shoots out flames, I groan from the heat but still keep my hold. "You'll burn if you stay Alina"

Shifting I move away from his flaming body, checking if I still have leggings on I smile when I see that I still do. Turning around I gather the smoke he's caused, putting a stable smoke cloud under my feet I shift back. Now I'm in the air staring down at Enji, he smirks and jumps towards me with a fist raised.

Smirking I gather more smoke and hover it around me, jumping off the cloud. Enji and I meet in the middle, our fists smash together and I wince from the pain. Enji seems to notice before grabbing my arm and yanking me towards him. "You've grown, and I'm just not talking about your fighting."

Enji's POV

When I and Yagi walked through the door, I immediately started looking for Alina. I mean I haven't seen her in 8 months. And last time I saw her, she was tiny, and I mean tiny. I mean it wasn't a bad thing, just wasn't....cute should I say.

So when we turned that corner and I saw her face pop up from the couch I gasped. Her yellow eyes soon widened when she saw us. I could tell she's grown, and when she shifted to us my eyes had gotten wide too. Her hips had gotten bigger, same for her thighs, and one thing I'm sure me and Yagi both noticed was her chest. It wasn't hard to ignore, I mean she's shorter than us now so we just can't not look at them while also trying to look at her. Just in general she looks better, you could see the outline of her muscles through her uniform shirt.

And I know I shouldn't think of Alina as anything besides my friend but after seeing her again I just couldn't help it. I mean any smart guy would know she's got a good body.

Eventually, she left Yagi's arms I scooped her up in mine. My body flowed with tingles when she wrapped her arms around my neck. She stays in my hold before I let her go.

She steps back and a slight glow is shown in her yellow eyes.

"Now that we've seen each other again, let's spar!"

Yagi decides not to, while Alina and I will spar against each other. Which led to now, her pressed against my chest with wide eyes and a slight blush.

For a quick second, I saw her eyes glint a slight pink but she shifts away from me. I smirk before turning around to face a flustered Alina.

Alina POV

After Enji's little comment I feel myself becoming more and more flustered thinking about it. I shake my head before shooting out smoke everywhere making it hard to see. Well at least not for me, Enji twirls in a circle before I start running towards him. He seems to sense me and throws a punch, shifting then shifting back I dodge his fist and hit him in the gut. He stumbles over but he quickly rebounds and grabs me by the throat and pushes me to the ground. Wrapping my legs around his leg I place my feet on his face and try to push him away. His grip on my neck tightens, "I didn't expect for you to be under me like this, maybe it'd be better if we were alone. Don'tcha think Alina?"

My eyes widen and I try to shift but my quirk gave out on me. "St...op talking...we're fighting! N...not having sex!" That seemed to make him loosen his grip. Unwrapping my legs I kick him in the chin making him release my neck. Jumping from the ground I kick the back of his legs making him fall to his knees. I grab his arms and pull them behind him, "We're getting nowhere with this, so tap out" He grunts and tries to pull his arms back but I place a foot in between his shoulder blades and push against him. "If you don't I'll pop both arms outta place, we don't want that do we?" After a couple more pushes to his back he sighs, "Fine, I fucking forfeit!"

Smiling I release him and pop my back. "That was fun, now I wanna spar Yagi." Turning to Yagi, or where he was supposed to be I sigh. "Or not"

Instead, I turn to Enji and pat his back, "Don't worry Enji, you did well." He grunts before walking inside, I follow after so I can shower and then cook.

Time skipty

When I was cooking some ramen, even though I should have had a more solid meal. I couldn't help but notice some tension between Yagi and Enji. Like when I wasn't with them they'd glare at each other, and when I was with them they'd give side glares if I was talking to the other. I don't know if they noticed I caught onto what's going on but they sure are dumb if they didn't. For the year Yagi was gone, plus Enji I became more observant thinking it'd help if I were to become a hero. It's clearly working cause I can feel the tension from here.

After putting the hot broth in three bowls and placing the lids on them, I wipe my hands and walk out to the living room. Seeing that the two haven't noticed me I clear my throat to interrupt their glaring contest.

"I don't know what fucking happened between you too but you need to solve it! I'm tired of feeling this tension that's going on around you two!"

The two look down, I scoff before walking into the kitchen.

"So irritating"
