I'll Be There (KIRIBAKU)

30

   He really couldn't stop being so energetic. He'd never really woken up with energy in the morning, but he didn't even need to drink anything before he felt like jumping through the roof. He was shaking with excitement on Saturday morning, and he was so restless that even Ashido told him to relax instead of pacing back and forth everywhere. He apologised and she brushed it off, but he really couldn't stop shaking with all the excess energy he had.

   He made himself a huge breakfast, that was all healthy, and he ate satisfied. He sighed and stayed still for a few seconds after he ate, before feeling energetic again, and he continued on pacing around his apartment, going from shelf to shelf, from table to table, and then from the fridge to the cupboard a couple times. He didn't eat anything else, but he was tempted by the random carrot he found. He's not a fan of vegetables though, so he decided he won't eat it.

   When time finally came for him to head out, and had packed his bag three times before finally leaving his apartment. He squeezed the sports bag by his side a couple times, feeling the gloves under his palm, and behind the bag's fabric. He almost couldn't stand still while he was waiting for Tetsutetsu to arrive at their meeting point, but when he did, Kirishima realised that they were both really energetic today. This could be because Kirishima is finally on the path to becoming a professional, or because he's excited to his friend, and frankly, they both were.

   They walked side by side to the gym where they do their boxing sessions, and at some point they were just fast-walking. They both enjoy boxing so much, they were a bit impatient. They are sure Fourth Kind won't mind anyway, since he would like them to show up early sometimes. 

   They quickly got changed in the locker rooms when they arrived, and then helped each other with their boxing gloves. Sometimes it is easy to put them on, and sometimes it really isn't.

   "Do you think we'll be the first ones here?" asked Tetsutetsu, looking at the very few bags around them.

   "I doubt it. But we could. These locker rooms are for us just as well as the people who go to the gym normally," he shrugged. 

   "Hm, I guess so. Imagine how surprised Fourth Kind will be when he sees we're the earliest," he grinned.

   "Very surprised!" he nodded. "He usually arrives when half the group is there though, so I really doubt he's gonna be super surprised..."

   "Damn it. Oh well, you ready?" he asked.

   "Yeah! Let's start with stretching, and then we can spar if you don't have to go spar with the pros again," he smiled.

   "Hey, you are gonna be a pro too soon. Fourth Kind will be making you spar with them too, soon, or now, you never know," he smiled.

   "I hope so," he chuckled. "I'm looking forward to anything he wants me to do," he grinned.

   "Pros are on a whole other level, so don't worry if you lose," he sighed. "I lost the first couple weeks I started, and I think I've barely got above five wins in total? I'm really out of their league, but I'm getting stronger, and better!" he grinned.

   "Wah- If I struggle fighting you, I bet I will have no chance of winning against them," he chuckled. "I'm looking forward to the challenge!"

   They entered the room, and immediately started stretching. Unfortunately, they weren't the first there, but there was only one person there, so they are still one of the earliest.

   They stretched until Fourth Kind was there, and they gave him proud grins as he noticed them. He was almost proud that they were early, but then he wasn't when he remembered that they should arrive early anyway, and it isn't something to be proud of. He was still surprised to see them here before him.
