[71]: Split Reality

In all honesty, you never would have expected that living on an island for a week with a broken wrist was as hard as it was.

It came as an uncomfortable surprise when you had to face that reality.

Just like you were being preyed upon, you weren't able to use a fishing rod the same way as you used to. Therefor, you couldn't provide for the team as well as you had been.

However, over the next few days, it started getting easier. You got used to the makeshift splint that Yaoyorozu made you. You started to get the hang of it. And, with the support of all your friends, you managed to get through it.

The days were long on that island. The sun seemed to tick by even slower when you didn't have a ceiling to hide you from it.

You spent a lot of time relaxing on the trip.

The others insisted that you take some breaks to make sure you didn't do any permanent damage to your wrist.

During the time you were relaxing, you were either at the beach with Mina, Uraraka and Jirou, being girls. Or, if not, you were having some fun alone time with Katsuki.

At some point, you mustered the courage to show the rest of the girls your scar. You wore a bathing suit top for the first time and—while they were very much stuck on admiring your build—they were also taken aback by the oddly formed black scarring.

After some lethargic explanation, they grasped the idea of that scar and you felt comfortable in it again.

Most mornings, you and Katsuki would walk the length of the beach together. It was an unspoken routine that you both stuck to. You'd just walk side by side, sometimes holding hands, sometimes kicking sand and water at each other.

It was nice.

The camping trip became something that you would always remember.

And, when you and the rest of your class found themselves on the boat heading back to mainland, you actualised the idea that the memories you made on that trip were ones you would cherish forever.

You made friends.

You developed an even stronger bond with your boyfriend.

And you broke your wrist.

All was in good fun. Many of the students fell asleep on that boat ride home. You sat on the very front point of the boat, a sleeping Katsuki by your side as you basked in the chilly air hitting your face.

The sound of the small waves crashing into the side of your boat distracted you from everything irregular.

It was nice to have a break from your mentality.

And, now that the trip was over, you would have to resume your regular lifestyle for a few more months. You'd have to meet with Tamuki. Whether you'd visit him in his jail cell, or meet up on the streets with him somewhere, you had to find him.

And you'd have to meet the League, too. You couldn't forget about them.

You had the scissors in your hand.

It was up to you to cut the ties between your past, and your future.

2 WEEKS LATER

The sound of your timid knocks on the door was the only sound heard throughout the silent halls.

You visibly cringed, hoping not to accidentally wake someone who you didn't want to wake.

Thankfully, the knocks came to a quiet halt when the door you were trying to gather the attention of, slowly opened and out stepped the person you were hoping to see.

"Hoi, Rina!" Eijirou whisper-screamed ay you. "Hey! What's up? It's sort of early for you to be out of your dorm..."

As Eijirou ran a hand through his head of soft, crimson hair that was actually down, you recognised his under-eye bags.

"S-Sorry. I know, it's stupidly early."

"Don't worry about it," He giggled, hoping to not make you feel remorse. "So, did you need something? You can come in if you want a cup of coffee or anything."

You shook your hands with a smile, "No, no. Thank you, but i'm here for something important. A favour, actually."

"A favour?"

You nodded, "Yes. Do you think you can help
me out with something today?"

It only took him a small second to answer with confidence. "With everything you've done for me and 2-A the past few months? Anything."

Your shoulders dropped. You smiled softly.

He's such a good kid.

"I need you to occupy Katsuki today."

"Eh?" he replied. "What do you mean? Like, distract him? It's a Saturday, isn't it?"

"Exactly. It's a free day, so he's going to want to hang out with me. And today, I have something really important I need to do. I just cant have him questioning my whereabouts."

Eijirou had a burning temptation to inquire about what you had to do that was so secretive towards Katsuki, but he understood already that this was one of those things that he would never get closure on.

You have secrets.

He respects that, because he does too.

After some thinking, he nod his head. "Sure. I promise i'll try my very best to keep Bakugou distracted today."

You held your hand out.

"Thank you. I owe you one, Ketchup."

He chuckled at the provocative nickname and shook your hand with a tight grip. "Of course. Just have fun and be safe, please."

You started walking down the hall, towards the elevators but away from his room, and waved back at him with a smile.

"Wait, but Rina!"

You stopped, "Yeah?"

"You've got my number. If you need someone to back you up with anything, I got you."

You let out a breath of air as you smiled through the dark at him. Then, you nod your head, sent him one final wave, and turned back around.

Not long after, he slipped back into his bedroom and shut the door. He had a drink of water, did some push-ups, and crawled back into his bed to enjoy the rest of the morning in warmth.

You had your backpack, a black hoodie, and some baggy jeans, as you headed out for someone.

Your phone was in your back pocket.

As you stepped out into the cold outside, you put your earphones in, while pulling your phone out.

He hadn't replied to the message.

Still, you had to just take a stab at the dark and hope that he would be there when you arrived. So, you click your phone off, and start jogging towards your location.

I know this chapter is super short. I had to pull the camping trip to an end. But the next one will be important, and longer.

Also, double update.
