* TREE / CHILD.

“What’s the big deal, it’s just a stupid piece of plastic” they don’t even have real mistletoe. “besides what does kissing have to do with holidays, anyway.”

it’s her birthday; wish her a good one! / @specthrum

She blinks curiously, retrieving the items to look over them individually. The note is spied very quickly, and it clicks into place just who left these in here for her. A smile stretches her lips at the thought of him going through this effort for her. It’s proof enough that he cares, even if he won’t admit it. 

After closing her locker, she sends a text message to the “mysterious” messenger: 

it’s her birthday; wish her a good one! 

❝Uwahh, Aki-chan!❞ Kazue cheers, tone lilting with eagerness as she takes both gifts in hand. She takes a few moments to observe them, and her eyes visibly sparkle with gratitude and happiness. ❝Ahh, you didn’t have to do this! Thank you so much!❞ The boxes are set aside in favor of grabbing Leia into a snug embrace, squishing her cheek against hers. After a moment or two of squeezing the life out of her, Kazue pulls away. 

    What a turn of events. Something one would see out of a movie, almost wouldn’t you think? What would a teacher say to two young hero students debating on how to scale the building of a hero academy just to gain access back into it? Shion wasn’t one for causing inconveniences, but they really wanted to head back inside so that way they could get some proper sleep.

❝Got it -- I can totally do that. Just sit tight, alright?❞

Offering the most assuring smile she can, Kazue proceeds to check each window of the dorm’s first floor. She grips the frames, jostling them to see if they move. Most of them don’t, but she does luck out with one of them. That has her smile falter into a small pout, only because that means she can’t scale the building (she was especially excited about that prospect), but she brushes that aside. With that figured out, she scurries back to Shion, wearing that beaming grin again. 

“Yes, let’s do that and not punching or comas–”
