14. Apolagize

Two updates in one day brings bad omens.
--

IT WAS THE third day of the internship, and Tamaki tried very hard not to be alone with her.

It's not like he hated her or anything, he just worried about how awkward it'd be with just the two of them. Plus, for all he knew, she hated the idea of it. Tamaki figured it was better safe than sorry, seeing as he wasn't the confrontational type at all.

It was inside the Hero Agency that day, and the two had just arrived, given, at separate times. Tamaki fidgeted with his sleeves as he entered the room, where (Y/n) was leaning against the wall, arms crossed and one foot propped on the wall like a cool kid. All she needed was a leather jacket.

Her eyes were closed, until they blinked open tiredly and saw him there. "Oh, Amajiki-Senpai," she realized, now wide awake.

"Suneater! Great timing!" Fatgum shuffled around the room, which was huge to adjust to his inflated height. "Would you two mind running an errand for me real quick? I have some work to catch onto, and then we'll get started!"

". . . Okay," he said, setting his stuff down on the corner of the room, which was really just a small backpack with some things inside.

(Y/n) put her hand up, "I don't mind going on my own, whenever it is."

"No, I don't think you guys have been there yet. I'd rather you two go together, you know? Watch out for each other!" Fatgum walked over to them, and handed the closest student a thick envelope. "It shouldn't take too much time! I'll send you the location, but it's close to where we were yesterday!"

"Oh, alright," (Y/n) took the envelope and put it in her coat.

When she did that, Tamaki suddenly remembered about the jumper he had yet to return. His eyes wandered to the floor like usual.

"I'll see you guys in a bit! You'll probably return in half an hour, okey-doke?" Fatgum gave a wink.

"Dokey-Oke!" (Y/n) returned it, pointing finger guns.

The two students walked down the stairs, then to the first floor, and out the building, still in their regular clothes. Tamaki's hands rested in his pockets until he felt his phone vibrate and took it out.

"Hm? Is that him?" (Y/n) tilted her head.

"Yeah. . . He says go right, straight until we get to the fourth street sign. . . Then take a left until we see the big blue building," Tamaki read off, squinting and trying to vision it in his head.

He couldn't have sent the name? (Y/n) shut her eyes, thinking. She looked just as confused as Tamaki.

"Oh, I have a suggestion," she said suddenly, and he turned to her. "I can just teleport us to where we were yesterday, and we'll find it by walking then. It could save us the trouble, I think."

Tamaki noticed her tap her foot up and down, her sneakers making a light taptaptaptap every time. It distracted him momentarily. "W-wouldn't we, um. . . get in trouble for using a quirk in pub-public?"

"WoUlDn'T wE gEt-We're doing this for a pro hero, man," she rebuked, narrowing her eyes but giving a smirk, which Tamaki briefly thought was of malice, but was actually mischief. "But alright, we'll do it the noble way, Amajiki-Senpai."

She started walking, her hand in her coat pocket and feeling around, as if checking for the envelope.

He didn't know why, but he blurted out, "Let's do that."

(Y/n) looked back at him. "Huh? No cap?"

"Yeah, um, no cap, I-I think," whatever that meant. His face felt itchy all of a sudden, prompting him to scratch it. "We can do what you said. It's not a big deal."
