It's Agony to Wait

Song: Keep Your Head Up - Andy Grammer

---------------------------------------------------------

Day one of awaiting exam results begins as I wake up at 5:45 to my alarm clock's obnoxious ringing. 

Why do I do this to myself? 

I pull myself out of bed and make my way over towards my closet, rummaging through it to find some athletic gear.

I head down stairs, eat a quick breakfast of a strawberry yogurt cup. 

I can't really jog on a full stomach, so a light breakfast is perfect.

I finish and clean my place at the kitchen table. I find my headphones, turn on some music, and do some quick stretches in an attempt to wake up my body. My muscles are still sore from the exam and my recovery, but thankfully my soul marks have calmed down. Looking down at the marks fondly - I head for the door and make my way outside, breathing in the clean morning air.

Locking the door after me, I start a light warm up jog, my destination: Dagobah beach. 

Since it got cleaned up, I might as well enjoy the scenery.

I reach the entrance a good 15 minutes later. Feeling sufficiently warmed up. I begin a fast jog down the length of the beach, just as the sun begins to rise on the horizon. 

I might as well go to the pier and back. That would be about 2 miles total there and back. Fuck cardio.

I reach the pier about 10 minutes later. 

Not bad for this speed on the sand. One mile down, one to go... 

Panting I move to turn around and head back when I notice a figure sitting against one of the posts in the sand. Their legs are pulled into their chest and their head and arms are resting on top of the knees. I notice a head of green hair.

"Midoriya?" I ask the person. Midoriya's head shoots up upon hearing his name.

"L-L/N! G-good morning! I wasn't expecting to see anyone this early in the morning. Let alone you..." He says quickly obviously flustered by my sudden appearance, a brilliant blush spreading across his freckled cheeks. I tilt my head in confusion. 

Let alone me? What the hell does that mean? I work out. I'm athletic. Don't I look athletic? The hell is all this damn cardio for if it doesn't show? Damn thighs!!! 

My inner monologue must have shown on my face because Midoriya starts to back pedal hard...

"I-I mean it's great to see you. I just thought that you might want a day off after the exam. I g-guess... Oh! Not that you are l-lazy or anything... Actually you look good – ah – I mean quite fit it's just that-"

"Yo. Good morning to you too." I interrupt him before he devolves into a muttering mess like at the exam. 

Seems to be a habit of his. 

I take this moment to catch my breath. "I have decided that since there might be a chance I get into UA; I should run more and train harder."

If that is even possible since I already train like crazy with Shoto.

Midoriya's face falls into a pained expression. Tears start to pool in his green eyes as he attempts to smile at me. "Th-that's great L/N! I hope you get in." he sniffles, suddenly breaking down in front of me.

"Woah what the hell? Are you ok? Why are you crying?" I ask concerned over what could possibly make such a pure soul so sad.

"Well...I didn't get any points." He chokes out.
