Everything with you is complicated. Shit he's coming I'll call you back, Bye love you AAAAAAHHHHH!" As my boyfriend returned to his internship I let my hand fall to my side.
"I love you too." I wiped a tear from my eye.
Chapter 33: Preparing for The Exams
I rolled over on my bed. "Ruby get up!" Pyrrha called from the kitchen.
"No." I murmured as I pulled my blankets over me.
"I'll eat all the pancakes." She taunted.
"Fine!" I dropped down from my bed and got my uniform in hand as I headed to the bath room to shower. The hot water filled the room with steam. as I washed my hair, the red highlights in my hair were fading but I kind of liked how it looked. My hair was now past my shoulders in length.
As I dried up brushed my teeth and hair in front of the steamy mirror. Kyoka walked in and got ready for the shower. "Why is Pyrrha so... mom like?" She asked as she got undressed for her shower.
"I don't know, but she won't let me have my coffee." I whined.
"Ruby, five sugars in a coffee isn't normal." I stuck my tongue out at her and she poked my nose with her earphone jack.
"I will be a bouncing ball of rose petals if I want to be." She just sighed. I got dressed as she washed up. I walked out to the dinning room as Pyrrha put down several plates stacked high with pancakes. "Learned to cook from Ren, but Nora would always just eat them." She smiled as she sat down at one of five plates.
"Why is there five plates?" I asked.
"Oh one of your friends came over while you were you were in the shower.
"Who?" I asked.
"Hey Petals, nice place you got, also you got any syrup?" I heard Bakugo's voice from the kitchen.
"Nice of you to stop by Bakago." I shook my head.
"I mean I had heard the rumors, but I had to see if they were true. And at least she isn't as annoying as you." He said as he drank from the mostly empty carton of milk.
"Why thank you Bakugo." Pyrrha smiled.
"Your just gonna let him go through my fridge?" I asked.
"He didn't really ask. But he's our classmate." She smiled.
"Pyrrha... hah, fine, how long do we have till school." I asked.
"2 hours." Bakugo said as drank the rest of my milk. "So you ran into the hero killer what was he like?"
"Honestly, it scared me how much we had in common." I said, "He wanted heroes to be Heroes not for the fame or money, but the purest reasons, self sacrifice and such, To think it drove him to kill..."
"And you too have issues with controlling yourself in combat, meaning you often try to kill as well." Bakugo pointed out. "It's stupid of course, but..."
"I don't even realize it, it just happens."
"Ruby have you even adjusted your strikes for people without auras?" Pyrrha asked.
"No why would... oh. That's why everyone thinks I aim to kill." I smacked my forehead.
"That and you say it." Bakugo cut in.
"You have to learn to hold back." Pyrrha said between bites, Kirishima cat down next to me.
"So is it true?" Bakugo asked him.
"Is what true?" Kiri asked back.
"You two dating?" he said while pointing at me.
"Wait I thought you meant That the Rumors about Pyrrha were true." I tried to hide the blush on my face.
"Rocket legs told everyone as soon as you found her." He rolled his eyes. "And from those looks you two have, yeah your a couple. When's the wedding?" He had a small smirk.
"Dude really?" Kirishima just shook his head as his best friend teased us.
"Dating? Really Ruby, you of all people? I was certain you were gonna marry your weapon." Pyrrha joined in.
"Is she really that much of a weapon nut?" Bakugo asked.
"You should have seen her the first combat class at Beacon, it took her whole team and my own to hold her back from asking a million questions." she laughed.
"Sounds about right, anyways, I'm here for a reason, I wanted to know if you could help me improve my gear." he said.
"But I thought you didn't need my help? That your gear was 'perfect' the way it is." I said.
"I just want to know if you can incorporate that dust stuff into my gauntlets." he said.
"I'm backed up so much with requests, I don't know when I'd be able to do it." I said.
"You could talk to the support students, they could help you." Kyoka said as she walked in. "Hey Bakugo."
"Hey weird ears."
"Yeah Powerloader wanted to see my designs, and then there's her..." I said while thinking of Hatsune.
"That mad scientist? yeah... I could see you hesitation, don't want to be out done?" Bakugo laughed.
I just threw my glass at him it broke on impact with his forehead. "Shut up!"
"OH YOU WANT TO GO!"
"What do you mean you accidently threw the stove?" Aizawa asked Pyrrha. Kirishima and Bakugo put out the various small fires in the apartment. And I swept up what was left of the table.
"I was startled." She looked at the ground. The appliance in question had trapped Kyoka in the bath room.
"Great, just don't let it happen again, I have to calm the neighbors now, who have been pestering me about buying the apartment, 'Because kids don't make good company.'" He just shook his head as loud banging rang from the door.
"We'll clean this up, then we will go to school." Pyrrha said while bowing.
"And for causing me this headache, you are walking." Aizawa turned to calm the rich soccer moms.
"This is all Petal's fault right? We all agree on that?" Bakugo asked.
"You're still in my house." I say as I throw a table leg at him. It bounced off his head, this time there wasn't any explosions.
In class everyone wanted to talk with Pyrrha, at least until Bakugo told them that Kirishima and I were a 'pair of dumbass's that finally cut to the good part.' "Oh when was your first date?" Mina was a little to invested in our relationship.
"We haven't had it yet." Kirishima said.
"It's been pretty hectic the last week and a half with everything. Internships, finding a dead friend who isn't dead, fighting monsters from... my... world... Oh shit, ho fucking shit. They had a Goliath... what else could they have. That means they have a way home and back." I thought out loud.
"Ruby calm down," Pyrrha grabbed my shoulder.
"Pyrrha, do you know about..." I started.
"About Salem, yes she was mentioned quite a bit when I made that deal." She just shook her head.
"About that, who did you make a deal with?" Iida asked.
"Turns out Remnant has two gods, the Brother of Light and Creation, and The Brother of Darkness and Destruction." She said.
"And you made a deal with the Brother of Light?" Midoriya asked.
"No, I was offered this by the Brother of Darkness, he's the one who created the Grimm." She looked at the ground.
"You made a deal... with the very entity responsible for millions of deaths?" I looked at her with a look of pure confusion.
"He said his brother is obsessed with balance, the Grimm are too bring about change, it's Salem's 'infection' that made them so aggressive." She gulped.
"So what, you world is a plaything to feuding divine brothers?" Aizawa asked making all of us jump fairly high in the air. I hung from the lights. "Take your seats, Rose your not a cat get down. I have a announcement. The Semester Finals are coming up, Pyrrha you are exempt for the reason we thought you were dead. Also if you fail the exam you will not be attending the training camp. I expect you all to prepare for this with your all. The exam will consist of a written portion and a practical test."
"What will be on the written portion of the exam?" Iida asked.
"You have a textbook right?" Aizawa asked.
"Yes sir," Our class reb said with his usual hand point.
"Read it."
And done.
