“I was just leaving,” Tom said with a smirk, brushing past Harrison and into the hallway, leaving you with the confused blond boy standing in front of your door.

You wanted to grab Tom by the shirt and yank him back into the room to help you get out of explaining why he was there in the first place, but he was already out of reach and you were getting increasingly suspicious that he’d jump at the chance to tell Haz the truth anyway.

“Good night, y/n!” he called to you without turning around to see you fuming.

“Good night, Tom,” you called back, hoping he picked up on the bitterness laced in your voice.

“What did Tom want?” Harrison asked, leaning against the door frame.

“Uh, he just wanted the... um,” you blinked, mind still fuzzy, searching for a foothold. “He wanted the schedule for tomorrow.”

“The filming schedule?”

“Mmhm.”

“Can’t he get that on his phone?”

You paused, not having realized exactly what Haz was telling you. “Yeah...”

“So, what, he wanted a hard copy?” You nodded, forcing a neutral expression. “What for?” You only shrugged, unsure of the answer now yourself.

What had Tom’s motives for coming to your room really been? You could feel the pleasant haze that still lingered in your mind evaporating quickly as it was replaced by confusion. Trying to figure that boy out was pointless, you knew that by now, but it didn’t stop you from wondering.

“So, what did you want at this hour?” you asked Harrison, trying to divert his focus.

“Oh, right!” he said and stood up straight. “Can I um, come in for a minute?”

“Sure, why not?” You figured you weren’t getting any sleep at this rate so you stood to the side and let Harrison pass by you into the room.

Nearly everything was as it had been when Tom dropped by, aside from clothes on the bathroom floor.

Harrison looked around, as Tom had, with his arms crossed over his chest. You waited for him to speak, rocking back and forth on your heels anxiously. Whatever he came to tell you must’ve been important if he was stopping by this late.

He turned back towards you with a deep breath, eyes trained on the ground. “I’ve been trying to hype myself up for the last hour now,” he said with a light laugh, still not making eye contact with you. You furrowed your eyebrows, a little lost, but let him continue. “Actually, I’ve kind of been wanting to tell you for a while now.”

“Tell me what?”

Harrison finally looked up at you, chilling blue eyes finding yours, lips curling into a nervous smile. “Uh, I-” he stopped abruptly, you wouldn’t have even thought he said anything at all if you hadn’t been paying attention.

“What?”

He took a step closer to you, eyes traveling your body. “Your neck.”

Shit. You slapped your hand to your neck instinctively, ignoring the sting that followed. You held your hand against you, even though you knew it was futile. He’d already seen. Haz leaned forward to get a better look at the bruises through the space in between your fingers, then looked back up at you expectantly. 

“Would you believe me if I told you I dropped my curling iron on my neck, like, a bunch of times?”

“Maybe, if I’d literally ever seen you curl your hair.”

You dropped your hand in defeat. “I’ve curled my hair before,” you muttered, not helping your case at all.

Harrison was rolled his eyes, but didn’t say anything.

“What if I told you it hailed?” You tried again, with a hint of a smile. “Only on my neck?”

“Then I’d say I missed some really odd weather.” He was joking with you, but there was an undercurrent of something you couldn’t put your finger on. The space between you was filled with awkward tension, it felt like a balloon that was about to pop if either of you moved any closer towards each other.

Harrison sighed and looked back down at the ground, hands on his hips, then flicked his head back up as if noticing something. “Are those Tom’s?”

You looked down at yourself to see what he was referring to and noticed, for the first time, that you were wearing a pair of boxer briefs. You didn’t own any boxer briefs. In the aftermath of the shower you hadn’t paid attention to the pajamas you’d grabbed from your suitcase, and now you realized you were wearing a pair of Calvin Klein’s that didn’t belong to you with an old Spider-Man T-shirt of yours. Some of Tom’s clothes must’ve gotten mixed with yours in the chaos of the hotel room, and you’d mistaken the briefs for pajama shorts.

You pinched the bridge of your nose, knowing you were fucked. It was no use trying to hide it now, Harrison knew you couldn’t lie. What gave it away was the signature white elastic band at the top of the black shorts with the classic black letters. Even you knew that Tom was a Calvin Klein’s guy. Maybe it was because you’d noticed how they peeked out above the waistband his jeans more than once when his shirt rode up, but it was still a commonly known fact.

“And are those Tom’s?” Harrison asked, nodding at the marks he’d already addressed on your neck.

“Do I really have to answer that?” you asked, rubbing at your neck absentmindedly.

His eyes widened like he hadn’t been expecting to be right. “Are you serious, y/n?”

You shuffled awkwardly over to the bed and sat, crossing your arms. “Please don’t make a big deal about it.”

“How can I not?” he hissed, probably a little harsher than intended. “He’s your boss.”

“Only kind of!” you argued defensively, completely aware of how that didn’t make it sound any better.

“You could lose your fucking job!”

“Don’t you think I know that?” you nearly shouted, making Harrison jump a little. You softened a little, feeling guilty for snapping at him. “It’s not like I planned for it to happen.”

“How long has it been going on?”

You bit your lip, not wanting to tell him you’d literally started sleeping together yesterday. “Not long,” you promised. “And it’s nothing serious.”

He scoffed. “It’s Tom.”

You pushed down the wave of emotions that threatened to overcome you when he said that. It’s Tom. Of course Harrison assumed you were just another in a long line of flings, and he wasn’t wrong, but it still hurt to hear that’s what Haz thought about you.

“You like him, don’t you?” Harrison asked, gentler now. He moved from where he had been standing to sit beside you on the bed.

You sighed, flopping backwards onto your back so that you could watch the fan go in circles and not have to look him in the eyes. “I don’t know,” you said honestly. “I shouldn’t.”

Harrison laid back next to you, forcing you to look at him even though it’s what you had been trying to avoid. You thought his eyes would hold judgement, or hostility when you met them, but all you saw was your friend looking back at you, listening intently to you pour your heart out. He played with your hair that was splayed out on the bed behind you comfortingly as you talked.

“I mean, after everything he’s done to me, it’s messed up isn’t it?”

He twisted a loop of your hair around his finger. “Can’t blame you for falling for someone you work closely with.”

“But it’s Tom!” you cried.

“Yeah,” Harrison agreed, sounding restrained. “It’s Tom.”

You rolled over on your side so that you were facing Haz and curled your legs up. “I’m going to get hurt, aren’t I, Harrison?”

He paused and let the piece of your hair slip through his fingers and fall back onto the bed. “I’m not sure, love. But I think Tom should know.”

“Know what?”

“How you feel,” he said softly, eyes glistening with something that made you wonder if he knew something you didn’t.

“I don’t even know how I feel,” you reminded him.

“Yes you do,” he insisted.

“But he doesn’t feel the same way.”

Haz pursed his lips. “You don’t know that. Maybe you’ve both been lying to yourselves.”

You turned it over in your mind, but the idea was too outrageous to even consider. Tom Holland didn’t fall, not like everyone else. He didn’t let himself.

You yawned suddenly, exhaustion seeping into your already sore muscles.  “I’m sorry, you don’t want to hear about all this,” you apologized with a sigh.

“I’m always around to listen if you need me,” he assured you with a smile, sitting up. “What are friends for?”

You pulled yourself up next to him by using his shoulder as a grip. He laughed as you nearly launched yourself off the bed in the process. “I feel like it’s always you listening to me, though,” you said, recovering. “Shouldn’t it go both ways?”

“In theory.” Harrison smirked. “But my life isn’t as dramatic as yours.”

“Whatever.” You rolled your eyes.

“It’s late I should get going,” Harrison said as he stood from the bed. “We have to be up early tomorrow.”

“But wait, didn’t you have to tell me something?” you asked, suddenly remembering why Harrison was in your room in the first place.

“It’s not important.”

“No, you came all the way down here to talk to me,” you insisted.

“It can wait until morning,” Harrison promised. “You should rest.”

“Okay,” you surrendered, and followed him over to the door.

“Good night, y/n,” he said, opening the door and walking out into the hall.

“Good night, Harrison.”

You gave him a little wave and watched him walk down the hallway before he disappeared around the corner and out of sight.

The sunlight didn’t wake you up. Your three separate alarms didn’t wake you up. No, the seventh call from Harrison is what finally jolted you awake in a cold sweat.

“Hello?” you asked into the phone, already knowing you were about to get an earful.

“Where the hell are you?” he asked, sounding worried.

“I just woke up, shit, what time is it?”

“It’s after ten.”

“Shit shit shit I’ll be down in five minutes!”

You hung up without saying goodbye and leapt out of bed, scrambling to pull a pair of leggings over the briefs. You brushed your teeth at the speed of light, and pulled your hair into what looked like something in between a ponytail and bun before sprinting out the door with all of your things and towards the elevator.

You were almost to the lobby when your realized you hadn’t put on a bra. Whatever, you weren’t going back upstairs.

They had already started filming for the day a few blocks over. You pulled up the schedule on your phone to try and see where they were. You had thought they’d be shooting right downstairs, but apparently that was in a few days from now. People on the sidewalk breezed past you with annoyance, often bumping into you, muttering something about how you shouldn’t be on your phone while walking.

You ignored them, trying to figure out where the fuck the corner of 8th and West 33rd Street was. You started off in the wrong direction and had to do the embarrassing thing where it’s totally obvious that you’re lost and turn around and starting going the complete opposite way. You knew that no one cared or was paying attention to you as you did it, but you knew.

Now that you had some sort of idea of where you were headed, you broke into a run, dodging and weaving through the crowd as swiftly as possible. Your legs immediately started burning, still sore from days prior. You were doing a lot more physical activity on this job than you’d anticipated and it was starting to get on your nerves. They hadn’t taught you this in film school.

Once you got closer, set wasn’t hard to spot. The crew had roped off around three blocks for filming purposes and the tents were easy to see over the crowd. The crowd. You had to come to a complete stop once you reached the wall of people blocking access to set. Getting through them was a challenge. You didn’t look official in any capacity, so when you asked nicely to get through, you were brushed off. You were already over an hour and a half late, you didn’t have time for this. With a sigh, you began shoving through the masses of people, using your elbows when necessary. They were New Yorkers they could get over it. You called out a chorus of “I’m sorry”s and “excuse me”s as you navigated through the crowd, not knowing or caring if anyone could actually hear you.

Once you reached the border you were stopped by one of the several policemen on duty serving as security for the shoot.

“I’m sorry, Miss, I can’t let you past. You’re free to observe from here, though.”

You narrowed your eyes at the man when he called you miss. He couldn’t have been much older than you, most likely a recent graduate of the police academy who had no doubt been stuck on security detail.

“But I’m supposed to working,” you insisted, pulling out your staff pass and ID for good measure.

He took the items from your hands and examined them much harder than necessary. “This pass doesn’t look like the other crew’s, ma’am.” He handed them back to you with a shrug, lowering his sunglasses to look you in the eyes. “The others aren’t blue.”

“I know, they’re green. But green is for crew. Blue is for assistants.”

The officer looked over his shoulder and flagged the nearest crew member down for confirmation. You fought the urge to roll your eyes, but felt a sense of relief when you saw Harry jogging towards you.

“Do you recognize this chick?” the man asked.

“Never seen her before in my life,” Harry said with a shit-eating grin and you had to stop yourself from jumping over the barrier and tackling him.

“Harry, what the fuck?” you groaned. “I’m already late.”

“I’m kidding, she’s one of Tom’s assistants.”

The officer had no choice but to let you by, but made no move to shift the barriers or help you over them. Harry offered you a hand to help you hop up and over the fence so that you could finally get to where you were supposed to be.

“Porn-stache didn’t even apologize to me,” you seethed as you followed Harry back onto the lot.

“Hey give porn-stache a break he’s probably still adjusting from time-traveling here from the seventies,” Harry joked, making you snort. “I mean, he called you a ‘chick’, if that’s not a sign I don’t know what is.”

“My pass looked exactly like yours, but blue, why didn’t he just let me through?”

“Because he’s sexist,” Harry shrugged. “That much is obvious, I mean look around, literally every crew member is an old white guy.”

He was right. “Sometimes I hate film.”

“Me too. Although, in porn-stache’s defense, you are dressed like a fan.”

You looked down at yourself and realized you were still wearing the old Spider-man t-shirt you had fallen asleep in last night.

“I can’t wear Spider-man merch to work?” Harry shrugged. “No, I won’t even give him that. He’s an asshole.”

“Agreed.”

Harry split off from you to get back to his post on one of the camera rigs while you looked for Tom. For once, he wasn’t hard to find. A blur of red and black flashed in the distance and you knew immediately where you’d find him.

He was in the Spider-man suit and hooked up to a harness, being yanked around for web shooting scenes.Harrison was over by the monitor, grinning as his best friend was having the time of his life.  

In between takes, while suspended in midair he gave you a thumbs up and waved, trying to get your attention. You laughed and gave him the finger in response, knowing they were still rolling and hoping they caught it.

You waited for Harrison to bring up what he had been going to tell you last night, but he didn’t. He didn’t say much to you at all. To be fair, everyone was supposed to be relatively quiet, while they were filming, but Haz had never been one to follow that rule.

They called break and you met Tom over in one of the makeup tents. They were about to do a scene where he pulled the mask off so they needed to make him look unrealistically pretty and not sweaty.

“Sleep well?” Tom asked, with a smirk as he ran a hand through his hair.

“Like the dead, apparently. I can’t believe I slept through all of my alarms.”

Tom shrugged. “Happens to all of us.” He pretended to look for something before speaking again. “Hey, last night was fun.” He said it nonchalantly enough, but you knew he was baiting you.

“We shouldn’t talk about this here.”

“No one’s around.”

It was true, the tent was empty aside from you and Tom, but tents weren’t exactly soundproof.

“It was fun,” you gave in stubbornly, trying not to smile. “So was the night before.”

“Yeah?” Tom asked, inching closer to you.

“Yeah.”

“Nice shirt,” Tom smirked, tugging on the end of the spidey t-shirt once he was within arm’s reach.

“Don’t flatter yourself, it’s three years old.”

“Well then you must’ve kept it for a reason?”

“Whatever you need to tell yourself, Tom.”

“You’re impossible, you know that?” he asked.

“You’re one to talk.”

You were smirking at each other now, daring the other to make a move. You knew you shouldn’t, not here, it was too risky, but you wanted him to kiss you. Tom was the first to pull away, leaving you in the middle of the tent with your arms crossed in frustration.

“What did Harrison want last night?” he asked, starting to run his hands through his hair again even though the crew was constantly telling him to leave it alone. “I’m...not exactly sure,” you said slowly. “Actually, have you talked to him today?”

“Not really, we left the hotel separately, why?”

“Um, no reason, just that... he knows.”

Tom made eye contact with you through the mirror and wrinkled his eyebrows in confusion. “Knows what?”

“About us.”

this probably has hella typos, but thank you guys for being patient while I took all my exams! I hope you liked it! lmk what you think I always appreciate feedback!!

Describe a time when you were extremely cold? Describe a time when you were extremely over-heated? I handle the cold far, FAR better. I physically cannot last very long in like, even 80 degrees. The coldest I've probably ever been was when Sara and I were walking once up at her house and it was really windy. I think the absolute most over-heated I've been was when I was taking bridal shots of my sister's friend outside in the summer for a long long time. I was nearly to the point of tears and was absolutely soaked in sweat. When we got back in the car, I literally finished at least three water bottles in a very short period of time. I think I even downed half of another. What was something weird that you did as a child? Did anyone make fun of you for it? Were there any other children you knew who did the same thing? I actually created this trend in elementary school of digging tunnels in the sandbox with my hands because I wanted to feel like a meerkat, lol. No one made fun of me, I think? And as stated it kinda became a thing, so yeah, there were others. What has been the hardest thing about growing up? What was the easiest thing about it? Was there ever a time when you wanted to stay young forever? Was there ever a time when you wished that you could be older? Accepting my mental illnesses was by far the hardest. Easiest, uh... idk. Enjoying more freedom? There was definitely a time I wanted to be a kid forever; I remember I criiiied when I got my period for the first time because I didn't feel like one anymore. Simultaneously, there were certainly times I wanted to be older. Who was the last person you yelled at? Do you often yell at this person? Are you on good terms with them again, or are you still upset with them? I practically roared at Mom for pulling the rudest shit on me like a month or so back. I definitely don't yell at her a lot. We're on good terms now, yeah. If you work, do you get along with your coworkers? Which one of them have you known the longest? Is your current place of work somewhere that you plan to stay for a long time? Sadly no, so these questions are N/A. Name three items that have much sentimental value to you. Who gave you these items, and for what occasion? Do you ever have a harder time throwing away things that people have given you? My pebble from Holly Hill, my childhood plush moose Brownie that I got in Ohio, and the stuffed meerkat Jason gave me. It's not really because of it being from him, but rather because it comforted me deeply after the break-up. The little guy is so worn from all the love I gave it. I do have a hard time getting rid of things people give me. Who do you speak with more often: your online friends, or those that you see face-to-face? Of which type of friend do you have more? Which of those friendships do you value the most? Online to all three questions. Are you often misunderstood, or do you think that people can get where you are coming from pretty well? Do you think that you have a good ability to understand others? If yes, explain? Eh, idk, really. I feel like I don't communicate how I feel well enough, but I think people understand me decently. Most, anyway. I know I'm pretty good and relating to people. When was the last time that you had a headache? What did you do, if anything, to help it feel better? Which is worse for you: headaches or stomach aches? As previously mentioned, last night. I took medicine, but it was sleep that actually helped. AND I CANNOT DEAL WITH STOMACH ACHES. Gimme a headache over that shit any day. Have you ever had a crush on someone you met online? If yes, what happened between you and that person? Do you think that online relationships are legitimate relationships? Yes, and we're dating now lol. And of course I do!! Out of all of your past friendships and romantic relationships, which one was the worst? If that person were to show up at your place, would you be willing to talk to them? Friendship: Colleen. No, I wouldn't talk to her. Romantic: Tyler, but I mean sure, I'd talk to him. Well, Jason was the traumatic one, but the *relationship*, on my end, was a fairytale. It was the breakup that was... yeah, y'all know. Yeah, I'd be willing to talk to him, but quite honestly I'd probably end up collapsing into a sobbing heap because yeah PTSD. If any, how many friends have you made in the past year? How many have you lost? Is making friends something at which you are good, or does it take you awhile to form friendships? I've made a couple friends online, and I lost none, I think anyway. I can be someone's friend very easily, but it's the trust that really takes a while. If you are 18 or older, did reaching your 18th birthday make you feel like you were an adult? If not, what moment (or moments) made you feel like you were finally maturing? I don't remember, honestly. As a kid, did your parents force you to eat everything on your plate? If you had them, how did you feel about family meal times? If you were to have children, would you have structured meals with them? Well, Mom tried, but my picky ass usually won, lol. Some days I miss family dinners, other days I'm glad to do my own thing. If I were to have kids, I'd probably want to have family dinners, really. What was the last new thing that you tried? What is something you did a long time ago that you might like to do again? I don't know. I don't try new things often. From my past... I dunno. It's too late to think of all this stuff. What is your least favorite part about going to the doctor? What about going to the dentist? Which of those people would you rather see? THE GODDAMN WAIT. My dentist is usually pretty quick, so that's not typically a problem there. Instead, I fucking hate when I have to get x-rays done because I have a very small mouth, and the things they stick in your cheeks to bite down on are always way too big for me. I have to use a size down from adults. Do you ever take care of anyone younger than you (ie. babysitting, watching a younger sibling, etc)? Do you like doing this, or does it get to be a hassle? No, and hell no.

BnHA Chapter 127: Sir Nighteye

Previously on BnHA: Aizawa announced that the freshman students would be permitted to take on internships. Deku asked All Might to introduce him to his former sidekick Sir Nighteye. At first All Might declined, but then he had a change of heart after seeing Deku’s determination. He ended up asking Mirio (who’s been interning with Nighteye for the past year) to introduce Deku for him. Mirio agreed because he is a pal, and come the weekend, Deku accompanied him to Nighteye’s office. Mirio warned Deku that Nighteye values humor very highly, and if Deku couldn’t make him laugh, he’d probably be sent home in vain. Deku greeted Nighteye and made the weirdest fucking face I’ve ever seen. Times like this, it’s hard to believe this is the same series that was hitting us with that intense character development a mere five chapters ago, not to mention straight up blowing people to splattery bits two chapters ago omg.

Today on BnHA: Nighteye chews Deku out for getting the wrinkles wrong on his All Might impression. Deku activates his Quirk of Being a Giant Nerd and informs Nighteye that actually, his impression is based on a specific incident in which All Might made a particularly weird face. His gatekeeping attempt foiled, Nighteye begrudgingly agrees to test Deku. He says he’ll give him three minutes to take Nighteye’s hanko stamp from his hands and use it to stamp his internship form. This is much more difficult than it sounds, since it turns out that Nighteye’s quirk, Foresight, lets him see into the fucking future. Since he can see all of Deku’s attacks before they happen, Deku quickly finds himself in a pickle. Nighteye says that Mirio should have inherited OFA, and that Deku isn’t worthy. Our little green boy takes some issue with this, seeing as he was acknowledged by All Might himself. He powers up again, determined to show Nighteye just how worthy he is.

(As always, all comments not marked with an ETA are my unspoiled reactions from my first readthrough of this chapter. I’ve read up through chapter 155 now, so any ETAs will reflect that.)

are you even a megane character if you don’t use your middle finger to flip people off when adjusting your glasses

although to be fair, he has the rest of his fingers all splayed out. clearly he is still undecided as to whether he actually likes Deku or not

fucking look at this title

“shit, we didn’t come up with a title for this one.” “well who’s it about?” “um, these four characters.” “okay just put all four of their full fucking names then”

so he’s towering over Deku, who fully believes that he’s about to die

he fucking loves it, Deku. YOU GOT GUTS, KID!!

wow he’s grabbing Deku’s face and saying All Might doesn’t have a wrinkle on his right side, unlike the face Deku is making

holy shit

nevermind he doesn’t love it

jesus christ. EVEN THE UNLICENSED MERCH, DEKU. FUCKING GET IT RIGHT!!

now Deku’s looking around Nighteye’s office while the man in question continues to aggressively jab his fingers all over his face

he’s jealous of all of Nighteye’s All Might swag

Nighteye says he is “quite displeased” and is telling Deku to leave

what in the

sure. who doesn’t. that’s when all the vinegar just. fuckin’ killed itself

holy shit

OH SNAP. HE FUCKING NAILED IT AFTER ALL

Deku says it’s one of his less popular incidents, but he really likes it

mainly because of All Might’s terrible dad jokes

holy shit I love All Might so fucking much

by the way can you imagine if a river just fucking turned into fucking vinegar all of a sudden. like, did the kid change it back afterward? how much of it was actually changed? someone else is walking along further downstream and they’re all like, “...do you smell something? ...did this river go bad?”

also there’s no suicide in this story. how misleading

now Nighteye’s getting offended and asking Deku if he’s testing him

but Deku says he just got a little hyped up remembering the story

Mirio and Bubble Girl are just watching like, “...”

Mirio’s impressed with how Deku turned the situation around even though he didn’t actually get Nighteye to laugh

so now Nighteye’s sitting down and looking as though he’s considering it

Deku’s all “PLEASE TAKE ME!!! HERE’S THE CONTRACT OMG”

but Nighteye hasn’t quite made up his mind yet whether or not to take him

Nighteye’s laying out all the details of the internship and how tough it is

the internship will last at least a month -- although it’s paid, hell yeah Deku, nice -- and Deku will need to take lots of time off from his lessons at U.A. and he’ll likely have trouble keeping up with his course workload and would risk falling behind his classmates

but Deku has made him his mind on this for sure. he’s not afraid of the extra work

aaaaaand Nighteye is stamping the contract

wait a sec

uh oh

(ETA: how could I have just skipped right over Deku’s reaction without commenting on it omg

fucking flawless comedic timing. who says this kid has no sense of humor)

lol Nighteye says he has no intention of stamping it

Deku, grab his arm real quick and just... he’s right there! you can do it. he’s so skinny. just overpower him

oh shit

what the fuck is wrong with his neck

also, so Mirio’s already considered a sidekick then? you go, Mirio

(ETA: actually, Mangastream has the correct translation here: “this office already gets along fine with two sidekicks and one student intern.” it’s just that at this point we hadn’t yet been introduced to Nighteye’s other horrifying sidekick)

he’s asking Deku what he has to contribute to society. if he wants his acknowledgement then Deku has to show him

of course there’s no need to sum up everything All Might himself had to contribute. nothing to see here, just a single man who transformed the entire world for the better and gave it hope. yep yep

anyway, so Nighteye is again asking him what advantages he can offer his agency. and he says he’d appreciate if he showed him with actions rather than words

well this is tricky. what does Deku have going for him. well his winning attitude and good heart and big hero brain of course. and also a little ol’ thing called One for All, but that part is of course a secret

oh my god

lmao are you serious. yes, exactly. GO FOR IT DEKU, STAMP THAT SHIT YOURSELF

he says he’s giving Deku a rare chance even though he doesn’t have the slightest shred of humor

“am I not merciful” jesus

now he’s telling Mirio and Bubble Girl to skedaddle

well, Deku managed to graze Gran Torino within three minutes his very first time using full cowl. and he’s the guy who trained All Might. Nighteye is just his fucking sidekick. DEKU YOU GOT THIS BRO

Bubble’s asking if Mirio had to pass a test like this when he first started

he says he didn’t, since Nighteye chose him personally. I guess U.A. must have given him the same pitch they gave All Might about how great Mirio is

in both the FA translation and the Mangastream translation, Bubble uses the word “jelly”, and for some irrational reason it’s really making me cringe

so jelly

(ETA: honestly though, Nighteye really does love Mirio. initially it’s framed as just Mirio being his protege and the one he believes is most deserving to inherit OFA, but over the course of the arc it becomes clear he cares about him much more deeply than that. actually, a good deal of Nighteye’s character development is just us gradually learning that he cares a fuckton more than he initially lets on. I have a lot of Nighteye feels. someone sent me an ask about him yesterday, so I’ll post that soon)

Mirio’s thinking to himself that it doesn’t look good for Deku, though

“against Sir’s quirk, accomplishing those conditions is virtually impossible”

well then Sir “All Might’s fucking sidekick” Nighteye, what the fuck is your quirk, then. consider me suitably hyped by this point

Nighteye says he won’t attack Deku, and he doesn’t care what Deku does, even if he damages the room

okay for real though, just how badass is this dude. what rank is he. is he the number three guy at long last? they’re sure making him out to be at that level

(ETA: are we going to get Nighteye’s actual hero ranking at any point? will they mention it in his fucking obituary maybe)

Deku’s powering up full cowl. I hope he went straight to 8%

he’s charging straight at him. Nighteye seems to think it’s a feint

yep he’s right

“you’ll follow with another attack” hoooooooly shit IS HE A PRECOG. IS THAT HIS QUIRK. FUCKING KATAKIRI OMG

although to be fair, literally any asshole could have told you Deku was going to follow up with another attack lmao. “nah, actually that’s it. one and done. I give up now”

imagine if this really is the number three hero. oh Kacchan, I heard you interned with number four, so naturally I went and convinced the number three guy to take me :)

(ETA: and yeah I’m aware that since All Might’s retired, all of the rankings have been bumped up, but I still think of them in terms of their previous rankings for some reason. anyways, you know what I mean)

not that Katsuki would have been able to tolerate this guy for more than thirty seconds

“I see everything.” yeah, I’m pretty sure. either that or he’s got 360 degree vision or some shit

but I really hope it’s precognition. I have a mental list of quirks we haven’t seen yet that I’m anticipating and this is one of them. (I also really want to see mind-reading and truth serum quirks. and an illusionist quirk, because I need one of these villains to play some damn mind games one of these days)

(ETA: WE GOT THE TRUTH SERUM QUIRK AND THEY TOTALLY WASTED IT. I’M SO MAD)

Deku’s thinking to try and beat Nighteye’s quirk by overwhelming him with a bunch of attacks

yesssssss!

(ETA: later on we learn that he can only use this quirk once every 24 hours. that’s a pretty big deal, because it means he took this decision so seriously that he decided to use it on Deku. if he’d ended up needing to use it for something else (say, something related to actual crime-fighting) later on he’d have been SOL.

also, Nighteye is a great example of the advantage a hero has when the details of their quirk aren’t widely publicized for the world to see. and he also proves that it’s more than possible to keep them under wraps even after years of hero work. just saying, U.A. maybe it’s not the most rational thing in the world to deprive your kids of that advantage right from the get go simply because you assume it’ll happen eventually)

so now Deku’s straining to figure out a way to get around his quirk

I would think speed alone would still be able to do it. if you’re fast enough it shouldn’t matter whether the opponent knows the punch is coming or not. but I expect Nighteye is likely faster than Deku though since Deku’s still inexperienced

is there any way to confuse him if someone has a lot of potential “courses of action” and all of them have a near-equal likelihood?

anyway let’s see what he actually does end up doing lol

Nighteye says he was wondering what kind of person Deku was, and that he had high expectations

but he says Deku is mediocre

wow

starting to get an inkling that the guy who can predict the future has gotten a little too used to being right all the time

you really think you know better than All Might on this one, huh. okay

also, exactly how many people know about One for All for real though?? the list just keeps expanding

so Deku’s really surprised. that’s right, he wasn’t aware Mirio had been the original candidate

Nighteye says he respects All Might, but they didn’t see eye to eye when it came to his successor

why do you think you should have had a say in it to begin with?

I guess All Might probably confided in a few people and asked for advice and recommendations though

oh dang

(ETA: All Might does a lot of not telling Deku things. he is the Obi-Wan of this series after all)

I don’t know if I’m ready for Deku to have a crisis of confidence so soon after Kacchan’s. I hope this doesn’t rattle him too much

he asked All Might back at the sports festival if he wanted someone else, and All Might told him in no uncertain terms he was the one, so. hope he remembers that

so Nighteye’s reminding him that the clock’s still ticking down while he’s just standing there thinking

he’s being a real asshole! :)

NOT ACCORDING TO THE GOAT ALL MIGHT THERE ISN’T

I mean, not to compare All Might to Lord Voldemort lol, but it’s kinda the same thing. having heard a prophecy that could have applied to two different children, Voldemort went with the child most similar to him, rather than the pureblood. All Might also had his choice of successors. Mirio is amazing and would have definitely been worthy. but in the end, All Might chose the boy who was born quirkless just like him. just because he started from further down doesn’t mean his ceiling is lower than anyone else’s, and in fact it may just be the highest of them all

oh good. Deku’s getting fired up

good Deku

“All Might... chose me!” yessssssssss omg. bring it!

“he’s not the kind of kid who’s so used to rejection anymore!” omfg. now they’re trying to get me fired up. and it’s working oh damn

 BONUS:

it is pretty sweet how he went out of his way to make sure she got a decent amount of screentime and not just some one-time background role

but like, he can’t pretend her costume design wasn’t 100% the reason he picked her, and tbh it kind of skeeves me out. anywayy
