CHAPTER 9: MISSING YOU

"I'm exhausted..." Amajiki flopped face-first onto the cabin's small bed.

"I definitely feel stronger though..." Even Mirio's muscles were screaming in protest from the day's rigorous training. This retreat was proving far more strenuous than they originally anticipated.

"The teachers must think I'm a joke." He mumbled into the pillow.

"Don't be down on yourself, Tamaki. The only one you had trouble fighting was Midnight." Tamaki let out a frustrated groan.

"It was just... her outfit... it was... a little..."

"Distracting?" Mirio chuckled, completely understanding his predicament.

"...Yeah..." He squirmed at the mere memory of her skin-tight apparel. It was all he could do to avoid looking directly at it, which ultimately resulted in his downfall during the battle. Mirio stretched out his sore arms.

"Shew. Today wore me out, but I still cant wait to see what they have in store for us tomorrow!"

"...Where do you get all of this motivation?" Tamaki asked. He was utterly drained and couldn't understand how Mirio was still radiating energy.

"Well... I've always wanted to save a million people, and for that reason I have to get a lot stronger. And lately... there's been someone I'd really like to impress..." He figured it was about time to tell Tamaki about his crush on you.

"Sir Nighteye?"

"Haha." Mirio rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. "Well him too I guess... But I meant someone else..." There was a brief silence. "What about you, Tamaki? Isn't there someone really special in your life? Someone you want to be better for?" Tamaki felt his heart flutter as he imagined your face. "...That's a yes..." Mirio grinned, noting the undeniable blush on his friend's cheeks. "Who?"

"Uhm..." Amajiki kept his eyes locked on the floor.

"You don't have to tell me, Tamaki. But..." He plopped down right next to him and leaned against his shoulder. "...please tell me."

"Well..." Mirio's eyes widened in anticipation. Despite usually being very in-tune with his best friend's feelings, he was also a bit air-headed and unobservant in these matters. He recalled a handful of awkward interactions between Tamaki and girls, but he couldn't seem to pinpoint which ones stood out. "S-she..." Tamaki gulped, unable to form your name on his lips.

"Yeah?"

"She... would be here now... i-if I had... lost the fight..."

"Fight with... Oh!" The realization struck Mirio hard and his smile quickly disappeared. "Oh..." Mirio was now faced with an internal conflict. You were special to him, certainly, but how could he possibly, in good conscience, pursue someone his best friend loves? The answer is: he couldn't. Maybe if he admitted it right now, the two of them could have a good old-fashioned competition for you. No... That would never do. He couldn't ostracize someone so dear to him that way. 'Maybe we could share like we do everything else. ...No, that's stupid.' Mirio told himself. But then he realized that you also had a say in it. This gave him a spark of hope. He could certainly act as he always does with you and hope for the best, but if Tamaki won out in the end, he wouldn't hesitate to step down for the sake of his friends' happiness. 'A good hero is always selfless...'

"So... who do you like, Mirio?"

'Now's my chance... Should I tell him the truth?!'
