Chapter 10 - Misunderstood [Filler]

{NOTE: You can skip this chapter and read the next if you want. This chapter is a short filler about the friendship of Rumi and Tenshi and their misunderstanding. Thank you.}

I walk slowly as the rain howls and thunders down droplets of rage and sadness.

Rumi and I have never had an argument before so this is new for both of us, well, mostly me.

We've always agreed to everything and if we didn't agree then we would accept each other's disagreement.

But now we're done...

I keep on walking until I reach the U.A dorms and go in trying not look miserable in front of Rumi and the others.

"Hey Tenshi. Are you okay? Kaminari and Kirishima told us something happened between you and Rumi." Deku says as soon as I walk in.

I look at him and then at everyone else. I don't see Rumi.

"Where's Rumi?" I ask with a monotone expression.

"She's in her room already." Mina replies.

I nod and start to head off to my room.

"Tenshi? Are you really alright?" Ochaco asks.

"Yes. Don't worry, everything is fine between me and Rumi. I'm just tired today so I'm going to head in early." I make an unnatural fake smile that hurts my face and my inside. 

Then I turn around and go into my room, shutting the door close, and sliding down to the floor, feeling weakness take over my body.

The room looks dark and dull even though I've put the light on. It's as if my vision is connected to my feelings.

And I don't want to feel all helpless and like a loser but I've...I've relied on Rumi a lot...I've been friends with him since we were first starting to learn how to climb our cribs, trying to get into our secret toy review meetings.

Our uncles were actually friends first and then my uncle introduced Rumi's uncle to my Dad because they both knew about things relating to engineering aeroplanes and being pilots. And then, through relations and birthday parties, Rumi and I met and we've stayed friends together until...well until half an hour ago.

But that doesn't matter now...because I don't have a best friend named Rumi anymore, or any friend anymore...except that poster in my room with a dog holding a bone and saying "Best Friend"...

After brooding on the floor for some time, I decide to sleep since there's nothing eventful happening today or that I want to go to. Hopefully all of this was a dream by the time I wake again...

- 12 hours later -

I wake up to the alarm feebly ringing. Looking at the time I see it's 08:35 AM which means I'm late for school.

Quickly looking at the floor next to the door, I spot the small turtle plushie I left yesterday to see if I was dreaming or not.

Now I know...everything that happened yesterday was real and there's no way to change that...

Unless I confront Rumi and ask him why he did that, why he decided we're not going to be friends anymore without an explanation.

I get out of my bed promptly and put on my school uniform. Grabbing some breakfast of eggs and toast with hot chocolate and heading off to school with a determination plastered on my face.

Goal: Find out the reason Rumi stopped being friends with me!

Arriving at school just in time for our free period to start, I walk along the hall to class 1 - A and slam the door open.

Everyone goes quiet.

I walk over cconfidently to Rumi and take his hand and walk out of the classroom, tugging him from the front.

"Wait! Where are we going?" He says.

"To the bench outside. We need to talk." I say in a cool, kind of heroic voice, as if I've just saved Rumi from a gang of villains.

When we reach the bench that Rumi liked to sit in, we both sit down and say nothing.

"Look, I'm sorry..." Rumi speaks first.

"I know it must have been shocking to hear me say that we shouldn't be friends anymore yesterday...but I didn't mean."

I knew it! Rumi would never stop being friends with me! We've gone through too much to throw that friendship out the door.

"I found out something about me, now that I'm in a girls body that I never had to think about before when I was a guy. And the reason I didn't say anything to you is because I felt shy to say it to you even though that is very unlike me to do."

I nod, too happy for words to hear Rumi speak again to me.

"Anyway, yesterday I found out I got the same thing that girls get every month."

"A period?" I say.

"Yes and that's why my mood swings were all over the place. I didn't know what to do and I even met with Silverstone to get some intel on what to do since I had no idea on how everything works. However, now I know more and don't have that many mood swings as I did yesterday."

"So that means we're still best friends?" I confirm.

"Yes. Always." Rumi laughs.

I join in with his laughter.

"But next time if there is anything wrong, tell me. No matter what the problem is. We're friends so we're supposed to help each other." I say.

"Alright. I will." Rumi agrees.

And that is how our friendship got back together and never left.
