When Eijirou saw a load of athletes that he recognized walking out of the gym for the night he was relieved that they finally got to go home.
He started up the car once more and waited for his girlfriend to come out and find his car
He checked the tile on the radio and it read 9:24... they were supposed to be done at 9 tonight.
When he heard the car door open to the passenger seat he smiled with his usual "Hey baby" but the car door was slammed shut
"How was practice?" He asked the ravenette as she just rolled her eyes with her arms crossed while she leaned her head on the window
"Ok" he nods his head "Do you wanna maybe stop by Applebee's and get some dinner?" He spoke in hopes that her favorite restaurant would lighten her mood up
"That's fine" she spoke softly but he could tell there were so many emotions of anger, frustration, and sadness in there
"Ok let's do it" he smiles as she buckled in and he drives out of the parking lot until they had to come back tomorrow for Saturday practice
"Do you wanna talk about it?" He questioned after a few moments of driving in silence. The redhead wanted to see her cheerful side, not this upset one
"I don't think you'll get it" she heavily sighed while closing her eyes
"Well I can try" he smiles as he looks over at her for a second before bringing his eyes back to the road
"Ok, so I used to adore going to cheer. I looked forward to practice and competition's, but now I hate it" she starts and he nods in understanding
"Why?" He stays engaged in their conversation
"I'm sick of missing events because "oh sorry I have practice" and my teammates ruin things for me" she continues on
"How do they do that?" He inquired
"Ok so I understand that I'm one of the oldest on my team and I should be taking responsibility... but they yell at me when things don't go right" she wipes her tears remembering the events of tonight
"If a stunt that I'm basing isn't going right some people take it among themselves to yell at me" she sniffs
"And I know this seems stupid because cheer isn't even considered a sport but it's one of the scariest and most stressful things I've ever done"
"I understand what you're saying" Kirishima nods his head "Look on the bright side, you're almost done with this season then you never have to do it again if you don't want to"
"But I still have practices to go to. And I'm scared that I'm gonna mess things up" she tells him
"You're not gonna mess anything up" Kirishima reassures her while intertwining their fingers and keeping one hand on the wheel "I've see you perform! You're amazing!"
"I just wish they'd realize that when something goes wrong I'm already beating myself up because of it. And them yelling and bringing me down doesn't help" she explains
"First off, you're too hard on yourself" he tells her "I tell you that all the time. And you know what? If you're own teammates can't be supportive of you then I will be" he tells her "After all, I am your biggest fan"
