"Zero Gravity." I purred, leaning close to Ochaco with seductive orbs while her eyes snapped wide open. She fumbled with her food for a moment, and cringed away from me with a flushed face.

"I-I don't roll that way you perv!"

I smirked devilishly at the girl and made scissor like motions with my hand. "Ne, just know if my darling Otaku isn't enough to fulfill your needs I'm always happy to oblige—"

"Urusei!" Ochaco barked, shoving meat in my mouth which made me choke momentarily. The other girls laughed at our antics. Swallowing the meat down, I pushed myself up and slapped a few bills down. "Hey, you're leaving so soon?" Mina called out as I waved over my shoulder, "Yeah, I have some errands to run and a lot of catching up to do before the weekend comes. I'll be going away for a few days so don't be to shocked if you notice I'm gone."

And with that, I left the meat place and pulled my phone from my back pocket. With a sigh, I swiped through my apps to my contacts and hovered my thumb over Kiri's icon for a second. I glanced up at a familiar sky scraper in the distance and press the icon before pressing the phone to my ear.

"Hey, Fumetsu what's up?"

"What are you doing right now Kiri?"

"I just got finished catching up on extra class work, why? Are you ok?" The male asked worried causing my eyes to soften slightly at his antics. Geez I've never really realized how much of a worry wort he is.

"Yea, I'm ok. But If you're not busy could you meet me at the skyscraper, there's something important I gotta tell you."

"Oh...ok...uh—yeah sure, sure! I'll be there soon!"

"Great, cya." I reply quickly and end the call with an exasperated sigh. Man, how am I gonna tell him...

Making my way through the city, I soon arrive at the spot and my eyes widen slightly to see said boy already there.

"Kiri?" I call out causing the boy to jolt and spin around. I raised a brow curiously at the nervous look that slowly made its way onto his features. What's up with him? Why is he acting so weird...

"F-Fumetsu!" He answered as I passed the male and went straight for the concrete barrier between me and the 10 story drop below. "I have something to tell you. I should've told you before but I was...scared."

Kirishima's stiffened at the girls words and he felt warmth boil in the pit of his chest as he joined her side at the barrier. The red head could feel his heart beat 1000 miles per hour as she turned her head to stare into his eyes. "I..." For a moment, Kirishima imagined a romantic scenario where he had confessed and she had returned his feelings but unfortunately, luck was never on his side.

"Think you're turning into a Nomu."

It took the redhead a few seconds for my news to slowly kick in. I watched as the color drained from his face and his lips ran dry. "What..."

"During the raid, in order to save you, my demon counterpart gave you her blood. The same blood that courses through the Nomus, is now in you Kiri..."

Speechless.

That was probably the only thing that could describe Kirishima as he tried to wrap his head around the cruel reality that he had been tossed into.

"Then why are you letting a human take what is ours. Take what we earned, what we deserve."

I-is that what the reflection meant?!
