when my mom heard i had dealt with haruna, she almost entirely freaked out. she checked up on me and almost wanted me to go to my old therapist to make sure i was doing alright. i assured her that i was fine, it had just shocked me to see her back in town after so long. 

my dad told me that the police had seen how mature i had become as compared to the incident from a year or two back. he was proud of me, but when is he not? he always has something to brag about to his coworkers and the topic is usually me. he had given me tea to calm me down, still. 

my parents were both concerned, but proud of me for dealing with it either way and not letting myself get into an episode. my mom let me off for the rest of today and pretty much forced me to go home and rest. it was nice, but i wanted to spar with my mom today. i guess i'll have to do that tomorrow.

i had made dinner this time for my family and i, to which they were grateful. after that, i went to my room and got ready to sleep. as i was taking my hair out of their buns, i heard my phone ring. odd, no one ever calls me. it's so late at night too. 

i grab my phone and look at the caller id, a smile breaking out on my face. i press the answer button and place my phone against my vanity mirror. "hey, katsuki." 

"hey, hana." i blush at the use of my name but i smile nonetheless. "are you getting ready for bed or something?" 

"yea. it's pretty late, shouldn't you be asleep?" i ask, taking out the second bun and brushing my hair with my fingers before picking up my actual brush. "or did you just miss me that much?" i tease. 

"tch. don't get the wrong idea, idiot. i just couldn't sleep and i'd rather not try and call anyone else. shitty hair would be too damn excited and end up keeping me up and tape face would probably fall asleep on me." i laugh and nod to myself. 

"what about mina?" 

"who?" 

"katsuki." 

"fine. she's too much like shitty hair and would gossip about dumb shit i don't care about." i chuckle. 

"do you mind if we video call?" i ask, beginning to put my hair in braids. it would make it much more manageable the next morning. 

"i don't but why?" i sigh lightly and slump in my chair. 

"today was tough and i kinda miss seeing my best friend, y'know?" there was silence before a shift and i see the option to answer a video call. i gladly answer and find katsuki covering his head with a pillow. 

"...who the hell said we were best friends?" 

"i did! plus my old one kinda sucks so i've decided that you're the best option," i say, finishing the first braid and moving on to the next. 

"whatever, dumbass. you look exhausted by the way. has your mom been working you to the bone?" i shake my head and tie the second one, slumping against the back of my chair and pulling my knees up. 

"today was kinda shitty, to be honest, so my momma let me off in the afternoon and i relaxed. my papa even made me tea." i sigh and look off to my slightly opened window. it was a half-moon tonight, but it brightened up the town as if it were full. "is it alright if i rant about it to you?" 

i see him cover himself more before shifting to look towards me more. "sure. i don't have anything else to do, anyway." i smile a little, thankful for katsuki being nice for a bit. and so i ranted to him. 

i told him how i had to get the people out of the museum and then i had to be faced with haruna, or as i explained it, my ex-girlfriend who also happened to be my ex-best friend. that explained the whole best friend thing to him at least. i told him of the conflicting things she said and how i was confused. 

and i also explained the incident to him that created my anxiety issues and why i had been reluctant to use my body-bending ability to anyone unless desperate. i told him more about haruna and how she manipulated me and used me for criminal things and i had been essentially blind to it. 

he listened to every word i said and even affirmed with me that he was listening by inputting his opinion on haruna. 

"your ex was a bitch. i'll come to your town or some shit just to beat the fuck outta her for being such a shitty person." i had laughed lightly at this. "i hate people like that." 

"thanks katsu, but i don't think the police would let you do that." 

"i'll have to break her out then and fuck her up!" i continued to laugh, small tears coming out of my eyes as i lightly wiped them away and smile at katsuki. "no one fucks with my best friend."

"thank you, katsu." 

"i didn't do shit, dumbass. what are you thanking me for?" 

"for looking out for me! and making me laugh. you're probably the first person to do that in years." silence overcame us as i looked out to my window again and smiled up at the brightly shining moon. 

"hana." i look over and hum as a response to him calling for my name. 

"i'll protect you from those fucking assholes, okay?" 

blushing, i smile brightly and catch sight of his vermillion eyes again. "pinky promise?" 

he looks at me incredulously before sighing. "for fucks sake- whatever. i pinky promise, you dumb shit." i laugh happily. 

"well it's getting late, would you like to say goodnight?" i ask, resting my chin on my knees. there's a silence as if he's contemplating my words. "katsuki?" 

"could you- can we just talk?" i smile lightly at his soft but gruff attitude and decide to get up and bring myself to my bed. 

"of course. what do you wanna talk about?" 

"anything, dammit."
