Rules (Shinso Hitoshi x Reader)

14 - Kiss it Better

"Oh Itsuka!" you cried dramatically. "How did we ever end up like this?" 

The ceiling above cracked, white powdered debris coating your hair and tickling your nose. You quickly dusted yourself off and adjusted the civilian that was currently being carried in your arms. The ground shook violently causing desks and chairs to go sliding to the other side of the room. Itsuka grabbed you by the arm to steady you.

"Well, by some miracle, me and you got paired together and now we have to figure out how to escape before Mr. Dummy here dies," she said. 

Another day at UA meant another day in the disaster simulators. 

The USJ was designed primarily to test out different rescue scenarios that everyday pro heroes have experienced before. Mr. Dummy was, well, a dummy. A mere puppet that would act as a civilian that needed to be rescued. 

Currently, you and Itsuka stood at the top floor of a building that was experiencing an earthquake. If Mr. Dummy came back banged up from this experience, then you and Itsuka would fail and would have to be on classroom cleanup duties for a whole week.

A large fist went flying above your head as another earthquake rumbled throughout the building. Itsuka caught a chunk of ceiling that almost fell on you. 

"Thanks," you told her, clutching onto Mr. Dummy harder. Although the staff at UA would never put their students in harms way, it's not like these scenarios never put you on edge even a little.

"Is Mr. Dummy okay?"

You swiped some debris off from his bald head. "He's good! Now, how do we get out of here?"

Itsukas juniper eyes scanned the perimeter to find any quick exits. You were on a time limit and in situations like these, it was important to act fast. 

The whole building felt like it could collapse at any moment. This earthquake was a level 5 but it felt like a level 6 with how the building swayed from side to side. It was getting harder to keep your balance. Especially when you were carrying a 100 pound dummy. According to Vlad King, the dummy needed to feel as realistic as possible because real humans didn't weigh 15 pounds. 

"There!" she pointed to the other side of the room. "We need to take the stairs to the bottom floor. Can you hold Mr. Dummy up okay?"

You readjusted the bastard so that he was slung over your shoulder. "Yeah I think I got it."

"Alright, let's go then!"

With her large fist kept above both of your heads, you and Itsuka booked it to the other side of the room. Chairs, desks, books, and floor lamps were flying in every direction each time the building shook. The windows had shattered long ago so you needed to keep a look out so that you didn't accidentally cut yourself.

"Watch out!" Itsuka shouted. 

She grabbed you by the elbow and yanked you back to prevent a desk from slamming into you. You let out a breath you didn't know you were holding.

"Thanks," you breathed to your friend.

"No problem. Let's keep moving."

She stayed close behind you as you continued to run across the office floor. Going downstairs during an earthquake was harder than you thought. You needed to move both fast and carefully lest you go flying down the remaining steps. Considering you were currently on the 10th floor, that wouldn't be fun at all. 

Mr. Dummy kept trying to slip out of your arms, his weight beginning to hurt your arms as you trudged down to the 7th floor. It was too tempting to throw the old sack down to the bottom but you knew Vlad King would reprimand you for it.
