DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own My Hero Academia, just the plot of this story and the book.
"My goodness! You kids are becoming more and more reckless by the day, you have to be more careful!"
"Sorry Recovery girl. I didn't think I'd have to go all out today."
"I'm just happy you got here in one piece. I swear sometimes I think your teachers take things a little too far, you're all still kids, you guys shouldn't have to go through this."
"This is what we signed up for, to become pro heroes this is just what we're gonna have to go through even though it can be a little challenging. But it wouldn't be fun if everything was easy so I enjoy it, sometimes." She chuckles at my last remark,
"Well, make sure to take it seriously. It's not fair that your pretty little face is getting scratched and bruised up like this." I smile and nod.
"I'll try my best." She smiles at me then goes to a cabinet and takes out some weird-looking device.
"Can you lay down for me sweetie? I need to take a look at your injuries so you can be treated and on your way."
"Sure, but I would much rather stay here with you than have to go to class."
"I'm flattered but I don't think you'd find what I do entertaining."
"It's better than having to deal with Present Mic's yelling for an hour and a half." Recovery girl lets out a small chuckle but she soon catches herself and clears her throat.
"Ashido, you know it's not right to talk badly about your elders."
"I know but I didn't say anything bad about him."
"You just implied that your teacher is loud."
"He is, but that's not necessarily a bad thing it's just something I don't want to deal with in the morning."
"It's almost noon."
"Basically the same thing." She shakes her head in slight disbelief but still keeps a smile on her face. I lay down on the medical bed and let her scan my body with the weird-looking device from earlier. After she was done her smile faded away and became more serious.
"Well, it looks like you broke your left arm, your right leg, and two of your ribs. And your hands were mildly burnt which is all treatable. If you would've fought any longer the damage in your hand would've been a little more severe, and would take longer to heal. But luckily that isn't the case."
"You mean I could've lost the use of my hands!?"
"Not at all. Your body has a good endurance to your acid but it isn't use to you using it so much. In the future I suggest building an endurance to your quirk so that this won't happen often."
Recovery girl treated my wounds and bandaged me up, I felt a little better but I was still sore in certain places. I also felt tired again and it was more intense than before, I felt drained.
"Feeling better?"
"Yeah, just a bit tired."
"Oh, I forgot to mention that for my quirk to work effectively it requires a lot of your energy to speed up the healing process, which will cause you to get tired."
"Is it ok if I fall asleep?"
"Of course. I'll inform your teachers that you're with me." Recovery Girl then retreats to the other side of the room, leaving me to rest. I lay back down in the hospital bed but I couldn't fall asleep, my conversation with Recovery Girl kept replaying in my head, even though I knew my injuries to my hands weren't that serious it still left me curious and a little anxious about what would've happened if I kept going? Would I end up hurting myself? Am I not as acid prof as I originally thought!? I take a deep breath, I need to calm down and not over think this. Trying to not to focus on my previous thoughts I close my eyes and slowly drift to sleep.
"Mina~"
"Mina."
"*huff* Mina, wake up!" I can feel my body move rapidly which causes me to open my eyes. To my surprise I didn't see Recovery Girl, it was Ochako?
"Ochako? What are you doing here?"
"I came here to get my injuries healed." Now that I look at her she did look a little beat up. Her left cheek had a bandage on it and her right leg was wrapped up.
"So how'd you guys do? Did you destroy those annoying robots?"
"It was a little tough but in the end, we passed."
"A little! Did you not get the same robots I did!?"
"No, each group got a different scenario so not everyone fought those robots." A little aggravated I plumped back on the bed, she chuckled at my reaction then took a seat next to me.
"How are you feeling?"
"Alright I guess, my bodies still sore in some places but it doesn't hurt anymore so there's that. How about you?"
"Oh, I'm good. My injuries weren't too bad so after my nap I felt a lot better. But I was worried."
"About what?"
"You. Even though I knew you would be ok I was still worried about you." She tried hiding her expression but I could tell she was still a little worried. Happy at the fact that she cared about me I sit up and embrace her in one of my famous bear hugs.
"Awwww! My best friend cares about me!" She returned my hug with as much energy as I have.
"Is this a bad time? Cause we can come back later." We both turn in the direction where the new but familiar voice came from. In the doorway was my lovable red-headed friend. I clap my hands rapidly, excited that he came to check on me.
"My boy best friend came to check on me too!? Awww you guys are truly the best!" I gesture for Kirishima to come over and hug me. While Kiri made his way to me Ochako kept her eyes on the door, she looked annoyed, I'm not really sure what about but it must be the thing she's looking at.
"What's the matter Ochako?"
"Him. Kirishima, why is he here?" Confused, I lean to the left of Kirishima and get a glance at who she was talking about. Leaning on the doorframe was the well-known hothead Katsuki Bakugo. My smile quickly turned into a frown, I look up at Kirishima for answers but instead, he nervously looks away.
"Kiri, you wanna explain why you brought him with you." Still avoiding our glares he scratches the back of his head,
"He asked if I knew where you were so I brought him here." surprised, I look back at the angry blond,
"You were looking for me? Why?"
"It doesn't matter anymore, just forget about it." Before I could ask him what he meant he pushed himself off of the doorframe and left the room. I look up at the redhead, hoping he could answer my questions.
"Do you know what that was all about?"
"Nope. All he told me was that he wanted to know where you were, never explained why though."
"Did you ask?"
"Yeah, but he didn't give me a straight answer."
"Well, what did he say?" Kiri stayed silent for a second, clearly hesitant of whether or not he should tell us what the angry blond told him. If Kiri doesn't want to tell us it must mean that it's pretty embarrassing for Bakugo, he doesn't want anyone else to know. I HAVE TO FIND OUT NOW! Trying not to reveal my true intentions I smile at Kirishima hoping that if I do so he won't be able to tell that I'm planing something. But apparently, my smile wasn't convincing enough because now he's glaring at me with a suspicious look. He then looks over at Ochako who also looks suspicious of me,
"Is it just me or does she look like she's up to something?"
"Nah she's definitely up to something. And knowing Mina it's probably gonna be something that ends badly." I drop the act and let out a soft whine.
"How could yall tell?"
"You were smiling."
"I always smile though, so what was the difference this time?"
"We were talking about Bakugo." I opened my mouth to respond but then paused mid-thought, she does have a point.
"Touché. But let's be honest you'd have to be a special type of crazy to smile at the mention of Bakugo."
"Come on guys he's not that bad you just gotta get to know him better." Ochako looks at Kirishima with doubt, unsure if he was serious or not we give him a couple of seconds to come out and tell us that it was a joke. But he never did.
"Not that bad!? Did you not see the way he treated Mina today!? He made fun of her when she got injured and then got mad at her for not being able to keep up. I know that Mina can be a bit much at times but that doesn't excuse him to treat her that way especially when she was breaking her neck to keep him safe." The room grew tense, with Ochako now upset and Kirishima looking ashamed I had to say something, But what should I say? They're both right in some ways Bakugo is a jerk that finds pleasure in putting people down just because he believes he's better than them, but at the same time we don't know much about Bakugo, he could be a nice guy even though it seems highly unlikely. I mean Kirishima thinks he's a decent dude and Kiris the nicest guy I know, so if someone like Kiri thinks he's ok then he must be, right?
After putting a little more thought into it I finally feel confident in what I'm gonna say to them. I inhaled deeply and prepare myself for what I'm about to say.
"I think Kiris right."
"Really?"
"Really?"
"Yes really. Even though I don't like Bakugo, and I think he's a huge jerk that has some serious anger issues I can't deny the fact that he did help me. Granted it did take a minute to get him to help but eventually, he came around and I'm grateful for that. If he was as bad as I thought he was he would've just left me there to fend for myself but he came back. I still think Bakugo's a stuck-up asshole that doesn't care about anyone but himself, but I also feel like I haven't been giving him the benefit of the doubt: there's probably more to him then he lets on, I mean there has to be a reason why you hang with him. So I decided I'm gonna try to make amends with him, for real this time because I feel like he deserves to be seen for who he is and not just what we think." After hearing everything I had to say the confused expression on Kiri's face was replaced with a relieved smile while the angry expression on Ochako's face slowly started to fade,
"You may be right but I still won't forgive him for the way he treated you." Even though Ochako wasn't as upset as she was before she still didn't look pleased. To help take away the rest of her frown I wrap my arms around her and squeeze.
"You don't have to; shoot it's not like I'm trying to be his friend or anything, I'm just doing this because I don't think we should be on bad terms anymore. And even if I did want to befriend him I couldn't because according to him I'm 'not good enough'." I roll my eyes at my last statement, remembering the lame excuse he gave me on why we couldn't be friends, just thinking about it makes me mad all over again. But apparently, Ochako and Kirishima found it funny because they were laughing like they didn't just disagree with each other a couple of seconds ago.
"*giggles* Did he really say that to you?"
"Yes! Like who does he think he is?"
"God apparently."
"I thought the same thing!" we share another laugh before we continue our conversation on how stuck-up Bakugo is, well it was more like Ochako and I talking about Bakugo while Kirishima just listened.
"Well, it looks like you two are starting to feel better." cutting our conversation short due to the new person that entered the room we all look in the direction the voice came from. At the door Recovery Girl was watching us with her usual generous smile, she then looks over in Kiri's direction, a look of slight confusion on her face.
"Although, I don't remember treating you young man, what brings you here? Do you need a check-up?" Kirishima shacks his head nervously, afraid that he might get in trouble for being in here without a valid reason.
"N-No ma'am, I just came to check on my friends."
"Ah, I see. Well since Ashido is up now you guys are free to go, just make sure you both get a good amount of sleep tonight, stay hydrated and don't overwork your body until your both no longer sore." We thank Recovery Girl for her help before heading for the exit, but before we left the room, Recovery Girl spoke aging.
"Ashido, I almost forgot to tell you, re-frame from using your quirk through your hands until they're completely healed." I nod and thank her aging before leaving the room to meet with Kiri and Ochako.
"So guys, where are we headed?" Kirishima pulls out his phone and glances at it before putting it back in his pants pocket,
"Well lunch is about to start so we might as well head towards the cafeteria." As if on cue the bell for lunch rang and soon the halls were flooded with hungry students.
"Wait a minute it's twelve already? If that's the case then that means we slept for four hours!?"
"For real? Sweet! That means we missed second and third period!" Ochako's head whipped in my direction, anger and confusion plastered on her face. Even though her anger wasn't aimed towards me it was still intimidating.
"What do you mean 'Sweet'!? There is nothing sweet about missing a lesson, and now we're a day behind in two classes! Agh! What am I gonna do!?"
"Oh come on Ochako you're overreacting, missing one lesson isn't gonna kill ya." She glares at me again,
"It will if the lesson is something completely new!" I open my mouth to respond but then pause, now that I think about it we were supposed to learn new material today in both math and science which just so happen to be the classes we miss, that totally slipped my mind, lol
. . .
OH MY GOD, THIS IS BAD! I can't believe I forgot we were learning new material today! And to make matters worse I still don't understand last week's lesson, I'm so screwed! I started panicking along with Ochako, both of us mumbling about how we were going to fail this semester because we missed a day.
"Guys calm down, everything's gonna be fine. Mina, we still have tutoring after school so Bakugo and I can walk you through it, and you can join us Ochako, that is if you're up to it." Unsure if tagging along in our tutoring session was a good idea Ochako hesitates before speaking.
"Uhhh... I don't think that's a good idea, I've heard about Bakugo's tutoring methods, and I don't think I can handle being around him for too long. Besides, wouldn't he get upset if I just appeared out of nowhere without letting him know?" I nod in agreement with Ochako's last statement, if we were to bring her with us I'm sure Bakugo would blow a fuse at just the sight of an extra pair of feet entering whatever space we decide to study at, we'd never hear the end of it.
"She has a point, Kiri, he'll be pissed if we bring her there without asking him."
"Yeah, I didn't think about that. Do you know anyone you can ask for help?" Not even a second later a certain someone popped in my head. With a sly smirk, I turn towards Ochako and nudge her lightly with my elbow.
"I know someone you could ask."
"Oh really? Who?"
"How bout' Midoriya~" I could tell my words didn't sink in at first cause she was still smiling. It wasn't until a couple of seconds passed that her smile slowly faded away and was soon replaced with a bright red blush.
"W-What!? Why would I ask D-Deku?" I look at her with a face that screams "really?"
"Come on, you know why." she opens her mouth to respond but hesitates, unsure what to say next she instead sighs in defeat.
"I feel like I'm missing an important factor of this conversation." Both Ochako and I look to our right to see Kiri looking back at us, confused with my answer. I chuckle in my left hand and pat his shoulder with my right. Poor, poor Kiri so clueless.
"Look Kirishima, I would explain why it's difficult for Ochako to ask Midoriya for his help but it would cost me my life so I can't." I barely look to my left to see if Ochako is paying attention to me then slowly mouth the words "I'll tell you later." in Kiri's direction.
"As much as I appreciate you wanting to fill me in on the "drama" I'm gonna have to pass. Sharing people's secrets with others isn't very manly."
"Kiri!"
"Mina!"
"Y-Yes..."
"Were you about to tell him about... well... you know!"
"Pfff, No..."
"Liar!"
"Ok fine! I was gonna tell him but only because he's the only person I can rant to about it that won't tell anyone else!"
"What is there to rant about I just told you last weekend!?"
"Nothing yet but it saves me time when I'm giving him all the details later." Ochako shakes her head in disappointment. Seeing the look on Ochako's face made me feel a bit guilty... ok a lot guilty and I'm to blame for that. Ochako trusted me enough to tell me something she didn't feel comfortable sharing with others and instead of keeping her secret to myself like a real best friend would do I was about to tell someone else with no hesitation once so ever. I'm a horrible friend...
"I'm sorry Ochako, I probably seem like a huge jerk right now and I'd get it if you don't wanna tell me anything anymore..." Suddenly I feel a hand grip my left shoulder I follow where the hand leads and to my surprise Ochako isn't upset with me. She was actually smiling.
"Why would I stop telling you things?"
"Because I was so quick to tell Kiri your secret...?"
"Mina it's fine, I know how excited you can get when it comes to this sort of thing, and I know that your intentions weren't bad you were just happy for me so don't worry."
"You sure?"
"Yeah! And to prove it I'll... I-I'll ask Deku to tutor me and I'll tell you all about it tomorrow!" she sounded very nervous when she said that last part but I can tell she means it. The small frown I had slowly started to fade and was replaced by my usual smile.
"Can't wait to hear about it then." not that long after we could hear Ochako's name being called in front of us. we all looked in the direction we heard the voice from and found Iida, Midoriya, and Todoroki waving at us (well, more like Iida and Midoriya waving while Todoroki was staring off in the distance thinking about whatever he was thinking). We all return the gesture and wave back at the two. Before Ochako made her way to the group she gave me one last nervous look which I returned with a reassuring smile and a thumbs up which Kiri also participated in. She smiled at us both while we waved her off,
"Good Luck, see you later!"
"See y'all later!"
After eating lunch and socializing with some friends I started to feel a bit tired aging, I don't know if it was all the talking that drained me out or the treatment I received earlier but I could barely keep my eyes open. So you can imagine how hard it was to keep myself up for an hour and a half, especially in a class like history. It took some focus (and a lot of shakes from Jirou) but I was able to stay up during class! There are only 2 minutes left now and everyone's just waiting for that obnoxious bell to ring so we can all leave and enjoy our weekend. While I was packing my bookbag I was thinking of how fun and relaxing my weekend was gonna be! First I'm gonna take the longest nap when I get home, then eat some dinner with my mom then go back to sleep; wake up in the morning binge-watch Vampire Diaries with Ochako then do whatever else I feel like doing; as long as it has nothing to do with school then it's fine with me. While thinking about the other things I could do on the weekend I get a text from Kiri.
The Rock:
Don't forget we have tutoring later
...
Shoot
I forgot we had tutoring today. Uhhhhhh I was so looking forward to going home after school...
Wait...
Maybe I still can. I mean I did get injured today and I am still recovering from it so maybe skipping this session this one time won't be a big deal. I can always make up what I missed next session so missing today's session won't be too bad... Right? Well, even if this decision is a bad one that will probably screw me over in the future I already made up my mind; my body needs rest so I'm gonna let it.
You:
Actually, I don't think I can make it this time
The Rock:
...
Ur not thinking of ditching are u?
I won't tell Bakugo if u r but I will be disappointed
You:
Nah, don't worry thts not y
Although, I appreciate how u wouldn't snitch on me if I was to skip
I'll remember tht hehehe
The Rock:
Don't get any funny ideas lol
But if thts not the reason wht is?
You:
I'm still pretty sore and I'm exhausted
I'm pretty sure its the effects of my treatment so I think it'd be best for me to go home
The Rock:
I see
U need someone to walk u to the train station?
I can drop u off before I meet up with Bakugo
You:
Aww, ur so sweet :)
But I think I'll be fine
The Rock:
U sure?
You:
Yeah
The Rock:
If ur sure then fine
But text me when u get home
I wanna make sure u make it there safely
You:
Okay Dad lol
I will
Oh, and can u tell Bakugo y I won't be showing up today?
The Rock:
Yeah I can
But be prepared for the "lecture" you'll receive on Monday
You:
I'll let future me deal with tht; rn I just need to get in a bed
The Rock:
Lol, alright
Hope u feel better soon
You:
Thx
Ttyl
Now that I got that whole situation situated I can go home and rest easy... well that is if the bell decides to ring anytime soon! it's always when you're eager to get out of doing something when time wants to slow down!? I swear if someone's using their quirk to make time go slower as some stupid prank I will make sure their death is painful. It seems like this hypothetical person I made up heard my threat telepathically and got scared cause the bell rang not too long after I made it.
Ignoring the warning signals my body was sending me I hurried my way out of the classroom and made a b-line for the school gates. It took me a minute to get there since there were about three thousand kids with the same objective as me, but when I did I felt so relieved. Ah, I can already feel the warmth of my bed engulfing me; while I slowly drift into the world of my dreams. I continue to enjoy my sleepy thoughts until I felt a slight tug on my bookbag. Not paying it any mind I continue walking or at least I try to. However, the person holding my bag obviously didn't want me going anywhere, but I wouldn't give up so easily. Well, normally I wouldn't but I'm exhausted right now so after one hard tug I gave up. I let out a sad cry, making sure the person holding me hostage knows I'm not having a good time, it wasn't until I looked over my shoulder that I realize my cries wouldn't be effective.
"Oh... Hey Bakugo... D-Do you mind letting me g- AHH!" I yelped at the sudden feeling of being yanked backward. Once I got my footing right I glared at the angry blond in front of me; but before I could complain he shoved his phone in my face.
"What the fuck is this?" Not really having a choice in the matter I look at his screen, it was a text from Kirishima telling him that I wouldn't be able to make it to our next touring session. Not wanting to answer his question I try to make a run for it, but aging was stopped by an aggressive tug on my bookbag, his grip on my bag more intense. Great, now I really can't get away from him.
"Y-You know this is considered kidnapping right!?"
"Answer my question Pinky."
"I-It seems to be a text from Kiri."
"Alright smartass! Why did Shitty hair text me that you wouldn't be going to tutoring today!?"
"Because I asked him too! I-I would've done it myself but I don't have your number, a-and I had a feeling you'd react like this, and I didn't want to have to deal with you yelling at me."
"Well, it's too late for that! Why did you even bother begging me to tutor you if you're not even gonna take it seriously?"
"What makes you think I'm not taking this seriously!?"
"You're dropping out on your second day."
"I'm not dropping out; I'm just giving my body a rest. If you don't remember Bakugo I got injured today, and I'm exhausted because of the treatment. If I were to attend today's session I wouldn't be able to pick up on anything."
"Even if that was a good excuse what's stopping you from trying to reschedule so you can make up the time you missed?"
"Again, I don't have your number."
"Get it from Shitty hair."
"Even if I did you wouldn't answer once you've realized it's me."
"Obviously."
"Ugh! Why'd you even suggest that if that was gonna be your answer!?"
"Because it's the truth! I wouldn't answer, but I would see that you're serious about trying to improve because you reached out and told me what you want to do to make that happen. But instead, you wanna fuck around and let your problems pile up."
"I...Well...Uh..." How could I respond to that!? I hate to admit it but he has a point; It does seem like I'm not taking this seriously, and I was planning on leaving my problems to my future self. I really am pathetic huh? Feeling a little ashamed of myself I look down at my feet to avoid his impatient glare.
"You're right. I should be taking this more seriously, and I shouldn't be putting things off like they're not important. But I really don't think I can go today, so how about tomorrow?"
"Hm?"
"If you're free we can meet up at a library or something and have a one-on-one tutoring session."
"Text Shitty hair the details later." He let go of my bookbag and was getting ready to walk past, but before he could get far I put myself in front of him again. Ignoring his annoyed glare I pull out my phone from my skirt pocket, unlocked the screen, and lightly hand it over to him.
"Or, you could just give me your number so I can text you the info instead." Before he could hit me with a firm "No" I had to reassure him that I wouldn't text him unless I'm having an academic emergency, it took a while to convince him, but eventually, he agreed. When he gave me my phone back I flashed him a quick smile and stepped to the side, clearing his path.
"Thank you for your cooperation."
"Tch! Just remember to send the location and time 'cause I won't remind you."
"Don't worry, I won't forget. In fact, I'll do it right when I get home." no longer interested in the conversation, Bakugo headed toward the exit and I followed behind him.
The journey home wasn't too bad, while waiting for the train I texted Bakugo a good study café we could meet up at. As expected he didn't respond, he instead left me on read which is fine, as long as he knows when and where to meet I won't complain. I will however complain about how I can't find my stupid house key! I've been looking for what feels like hours and it still hasn't shown up. Not really in the mood to look anymore I decided to ring the doorbell and hope my mom is home.
Luckily by the second ring, my mom opened the door for me. She seemed to be annoyed at first until she saw the state I'm in, worry quickly took over her face as soon as she noticed that I was injured.
"Oh my gosh! Mina what happened to you!?" She quickly dropped my house key and grabbed onto my hands lightly, inspecting them to try to find the answer to her question. While she was catering to my wounds I quickly glance at the house key laying on the ground. From my understanding, my mom looked annoyed earlier because she saw that I forgot to lock the door this morning and she was about to lecture me about it until she saw that I'm hurt.
Haha.. saved by the bell... or in this case robots cause they did this to me in the first place.
"We just had a training exercise today mom. I got a little roughed up but Recovery Girl fixed me right up so don't worry, I'm fine."
"You sure you're doing alright?"
"I mean I'm pretty exhausted but other than that yeah, I'm fine."
"Well, that's a relief. Since you're doing well can you explain to me why you left the door unlocked when you left?" My mom's attitude changed in a matter of seconds. It's like she forgot that I was even injured in the first place or she was just ignoring that fact.
"Ahhh no! My head is starting to hurt aging! Maybe I should go upstairs and get some rest." I try to make my way past her but she blocks my path by holding out her left arm.
"Mina don't play with me. I know you were running late this morning and forgot your key. Your lucky I didn't have to be at work early today otherwise someone could've broken into our house!" Before my mom got too worked up she took a deep breath.
"Since you had a rough day I'll let it slide just this once. But don't let it happen aging or else you're gonna need more than just bandages when I'm done with you." I shiver at the thought of what she would actually do to me if I made that mistake of aging. Seeing my dramatic reaction to her words lighten up her mood a little bit, she let out a small chuckle and moved her arm out of the way allowing me to pass through.
"Go wash yourself up, I made lunch." I entered our home and could smell the food that was prepared just moments before I arrived.
"Ohhhhh! Smells good, what's the occasion?" My mother closes the front door behind me and follows me toward the dining room.
"Well-" Before my mother could finish her sentence I could hear a familiar stomping coming from whoever was coming downstairs.
"Yo Mom! You're not gonna believe what I found in Mina's room! It took a while 'cause she's so dirty, but I finally found her diary! Oh, hey sis."
"Riku!? What are you doing here!?"
To be continued...
I FINALLY FINISHED THIS CHAPTER! Took me almost 3 years but I did it! Sorry this took so long it's just that a lot happened in the past 2 years, I had to work hard to pass my senior so I didn't have much time to write. But it paid off cause I ended the year with all A's and obviously since it was my senior year I graduated in 2021. I gave myself a break before I started college and I would occasionally come to write this chapter but I didn't do that as much as I wanted obviously lol. Then later in that year I started college and had barely any time to write anything. I tried to write some then too but I was suffering from writer's block plus the stress from starting college. fast forward to 2022 and I'm taking classes in school now and am still suffering from writer's block and laziness on top of other things that have happened in my life that I don't have much time to get to lol. I know you guys don't really care why I was gone for so long (lol) but I felt like I should at least explain why I haven't posted in a while. But enough about how shitty I am at updating my stories I wonder who Riku is? Well I guess u will find out in the next chapter (whenever that comes out lol)
Hope you guys enjoy this chapter and hope it was worth the looooooooong wait, Smexy is out.
