Shadow Alchemist

Chapter 10

Rina’s P.O.V 

A kiss, full on lip to lip. My heart pounding out of my chest. I know it may sound cliche but it felt like it lasted a lifetime. I could only look into his blood red eyes. Both of us sharing the same expression of shock. How could I look away. Anything to get either of us to move. Something, someone please. And then the pushing and shoving stopped. My prayers had been answered, in the form of my mother as an exit sign man. Iida, Iida had saved me from the blood rushing to my face, the feeling of unpleasant butterflies. Only to explain that the people outside were just reporters and we had nothing to fear.

Besides me that is. I had everything to fear, rejection, separation. In this moment all of those things weighed in my chest. The feeling that the person I had finally got back from my mistakes would leave me again. I couldn’t handle losing another person who cared so much about me. Then I turned, I turned and looked at his face to see how red he was as well. 

“Sukie?” I asked with a slight shake, everyone had made their way back to classes. He just pushed past me. My heart dropped, call me a crybaby if you want, I cried. Not much, not enough to notice, but enough. And then a hand was placed on my shoulder, I was half expecting to see a concerned All Might or Izuku. But the eyes belonged to who just made my heart ache. 

“What the hell are you waiting for dumbass? Let’s go back to class,” I nodded following him, “Oh and Ri, Let’s never talk about this kay? I don’t need people to think I’m dating you. And if you tell I will kill you.” I nodded. Still slightly sad. I mean, would it be that bad to be with me? What am I thinking? Sukie is a friend and only that.

 I looked at he resting face as we walked, it seemed so calm. Now that I think of it, he has only ever been kind to me. He never really yelled at me, he treated me as if I wasn’t weak. When we were little and my Mom passed people treated me like i always needed hugs, like I always needed to be counseled. His Mom started coming around a lot more, because of that I got to see him all the time. He never treated me any different, he treated me like normal. And when I was really sad about it he wouldn't just give me a hug and wish for me to feel better, he would make a complete idiot of himself just to make me smile again. Because he knew I wasn’t weak, he knew I was strong. But sometimes I just needed a little help in being strong. 

I have a very distinct memory of him and I laying at the top of a hill I had finished crying but it was getting dark. We had to head home soon, so instead of walking down the hill he rolled. He rolled straight into a lake. I chased after him and when he popped up he claimed to be to lake monster. The only one that could manage to defeat All Might, that was something he never did he was always a hero never a villain. Then he had a fight with himself in the water, he kept saying how All Might was so fast and strong that he could defeat any darkness. That included the Lake Monster. I won’t lie watching him do that made me laugh so hard I fell to the floor. I mean you imagine a small blond him fighting himself in a lake, it’s hilarious! 

In one smooth motion his eyes met mine causing me to look away fast. 

“What were you looking at?” His voice slightly agitated.

“Nothing.”

“Oh really?” 

“Ya, I was just thinking.”

“You never think, you’re to dumb.”

“Take that back!” I slapped him, “I was actually thinking about Lake Monster, remember him?” He got red.

“Never talk about that again.”

“You keep saying that today huh?”

“Ya, whatever.” We finally arrived at class, finally I was relaxed again. Then Izu made a speech about how brave Iida was, how quick and attentive to his surroundings. Just to give Iida the role of class pres. 

After school, my mind was elsewhere. I could only think about Sukie, how kind he really was, how soft his lips actually where.

“God Rinna! Just stop it!” I screamed throwing a pillow over my face. I just sat on my bed trying to consume myself with my studies when I started getting lost in my thoughts again. Stupid teenage hormones, I wish they would just sometimes go away! I just stared at my ceiling, thinking of all the cute things he would do, the way he just simply was. 

I reached into my bag, grabbing out the sweatshirt that once again was forgotten with the events of the day. I threw my school clothes into my laundry bin, pulling on the hoodie and a pair of sweatpants. I relaxed from his smell, drifting off into a pleasant state of daydreams. Then the door knocked. I feel like I keep getting encountered in my own home? I opened to door not expecting to see some stupid idiot, in a black shirt with a skull, with a blush on his face. My face holding confusion until I realized it as well. I am wearing his hoodie.
