『ARC ONE: EXAMS AND MISHAPS』
✧ ▬▭▬ ▬▭▬ ✦✧✦ ▬▭▬ ▬▭▬ ✧
A loud, stifling sigh escaped Akihiko's lips as he kept his gaze trained on the crisp white painted ceiling above him. To be completely honest, he was bored out of his mind. The medium sized room he inhabited had nothing really entertaining and he was not in the mood to scroll through the internet on his phone. Plus his bag had been placed beside his cot, sitting uselessly on the white tiles.
His mind quickly decided to ponder the exam and its aftermath. After the timer went off, both him and Hitomi were quickly ushered to the nurse's office, where he currently was. Hitomi was cleared fairly quick as she did not have a lot, if any, injuries due to her Quirk making her squishy and hard to injure. In fact, the nurse took one minute to evaluate her status before shooing her away. The red-haired girl managed to voice a goodbye to him before being told that she had to leave the room.
The image of glowing purple butterflies fluttered about in his head right after. His lips pursed together in a straight line as his jaw visibly tightened. His fingers slowly curled around the fabric of the blanket that was placed over his body.
The memory of the luminescent insects and the knowing smile worn by that boy, Junpei was it? That was definitely his name. It sent an uncomfortable shiver threading down his spine with ice at the remembrance of the teen. There was no doubt about it that all the information that he knew about Akihiko was possibly shown or easy to pick apart with the strange kid's Quirk. It left him unnerved every single time his mind decided to make him remember.
One thing that was certain was the fact that Junpei's knowledge definitely had to deal with the butterflies. In what way? Akihiko had no clue. He assumed that the butterflies had to at least come in contact with the other person since the insect was hiding behind him. He really did not know anything else that he could pick out from Junpei's Quirk.
He released a tiny and strained noise that went unnoticed. The periwinkle-eyed boy narrowed his eyes a bit after a dull pain latched onto his temples. All of that thinking with not many answers was beginning to materialize into a headache. He settled on informing Tomohiro when the Hero arrived back from work.
One of his hands slowly trailed up to stomach to feel the softness of the bandages wrapped around his torso. Akihiko was not entirely worried over the injury since the nurse at Mizu Academī was stated to be very efficient and good at his work. The nurse was very knowledgeable and knew how to do his work without a second thought, but his personality could be worked on. However, he felt much too drained to retort or argue or really speak to be honest.
The other thing he was worried about beside Junpei's knowledge was how Tanami and Tomohiro would react. His sister would probably scold him first and then huff for a bit before settling down. His father would just look at him in disappointment, sigh, and then ask if he needed anything in particular to be more comfortable. The corner of his lips quirked up into a small smile at the thought of when Tanami would be told where he was. Where they were at the very least.
