weird interview guy

"ok, then, um..." the guy cuts iida off. "what would you usually be doing now?"

"having breakfast!" iida responds, and i roll my eyes in amusement.

hopefully engine boy being so stiff will distract this suspicious bastard from everything

'it's not likely, but we can hope'

i sit next to kyoka at one of the tables, eating the food that a couple of the others had prepared. i smile as she passes me some of her leftover rice, nodding at her, but i frown as the reporter aims his camera at us.

he smiles politely at us, but i just keep frowning until he moves away.

"what's wrong, rin-chan?" momo asks, and the other girls at the table with us turn to me. i let out a sigh, still frowning.

"i don't like that guy. he's suspicious, and venom agrees."

by now, all my classmates had seen venom as i walk around or just hang out with them. since revealing him, he'd taken to floating outside of my body and shit talking bakugo whenever we were in the dorms.

the others finished before me, but as i was leaving the area, i stop by todoroki and watch with a laugh as bakugo scares the sketchy guy.

i share a nod with the half and half boy before we both leave to our own rooms to get ready for school.

the guy was still following us as we headed out, and i stick by kyoka's side up until we have to sit at our own desks. he was even in the classroom with us, snapping pictures left and right with his eye as our teachers go through their lessons.

it was weird, just letting this guy take open pictures of us.

number 21, sasaki rin. her quirk allows her to enhance her appendages.

*insert photo of rin smiling with jiro kyoka at lunch*

the day went by as normal, aside from the fact that the reporter guy was pretty much everywhere our class went. when he asked about my quirk, i basically panicked and said that it enhanced my appendages, which thankfully got him to leave me alone. he asked why i wasn't in the festival, but i told him it was for personal reasons, and he left it at that.

"hey, bakugo," i say as he walks by, and he turns to me with a frown.

"what do you want?"

"you and me are making dinner tonight, remember? it's our turn. what should we plan for it?" i ask, but he scoffs at me.

"why should i care? just pick something and we'll make it for these dumbasses."

i roll my eyes, slapping his arm. he glares at me then stalks off, and i grin as kaminari gives me a shocked look.

"how did he not curse you out, or blast you?!" he exclaims, and i smugly grin at him.

"broship, my dude."

"am i in on this broship?" kiri asks, sending me puppy dog eyes. i laugh, nodding at him. the redhead grins widely, pumping his fist in the air in excitement.

spotting the familiar figure of my girlfriend, i smile and move to her side, looping our arms as she smiles back up at me.

"you seem to be in a better mood," she comments, but i just keep smiling at her.

"i haven't gotten to hug you as much because that weird guy is here. i just want to hug you a lot before i have to go deal with bakugo while making dinner."

we sit on the couch, just basking in each other's' warmth, up until bakugo comes by and glares at me.

"you two are so fuckin obvious. sludge bitch, lets go get dinner over with."

kyoka flushes red at his words, but i just sigh and get up to follow him. i send her an apologetic smile as we leave, but yelp when the bastard cuffs me over the head.

"what was that for?!"

"if you're keeping it a secret, you need to do better than that, bitch. you two are so obvious, i'm surprised pinky hasn't married you two already like the dumbass she is," he scoffs. i frown, slapping him upside the head and effectively making him start yelling at me as we get to work on the food.

as everyone sat down for dinner, i watch midoriya come in later than the others, a weird smile on his face. i chose to ignore it, though, continuing to eat my food while seated next to tokoyami.

the boy handed out meat buns to everyone when he came back in, uraraka saying that all might had brought them by for us.

the more food, the better!

laying down in my bed, i stare at the picture of my mom that was on my desk. i had a whole photo album full of pictures of her and me before she died, but i felt like this was my favorite.

it was of my mom before the incident happened. before she got pregnant, before she was kicked out. the absolute joy on her face was extraordinary, and i smile, staring at the one that i think i can one day mirror.

looking at the picture, i let out a sigh.

"please forgive me when i start to let go, mom. please support me when i grow past what i am. please wait for me..." i whisper, reaching out to touch the picture while still smiling.

i pull away, pulling my covers over myself to try and go to sleep, but i'm stopped by my phone buzzing. groaning, i mutter about murdering whoever was texting me at this hour, but i still grab the phone and flip it open to see the message.

my heart stops dead in my chest.

XXX-XXX-XXXX: i can't wait to see you, my little rinnie bear!
