Sorry for the lack of updates, after starting my other book "To Be A Hero" I wanted to get a basis written, after I had done so I ended up moving and getting Covid, I'm still just a bit sick but I should be fine to continue writing now.

I've also just recently came down with what I call Creative Curse and it's me having too fucking many ideas, like I could start over 3 books right now with a basic idea on their story but I won't because I don't want to take a chance of abandoning this one or another.

Enjoy!

MC POV

Grunting I attempt to move my body, consciousness finally reaching me as I find it hard to get up. My eyes momentarily bask in the sight of the two covered females that lay atop me, their sleeping figures slowly breathing in.

Looking around the room I realize that we're still in one of the living room upstairs, 'shit, suppose we forgot to move rooms, guess we can't do anything about it now. But how do I get up?'

The two of them still seem to be in a deep sleep, I guess they don't really have to worry walking so they sleep in more. After a bit of deliberation I activate my quirk, softly moving the two up slightly so I can float out of their grasp before landing on the floor and placing a pillow in my old spot.

Attempting to find my clothes I notice a couple sets of clothes folded on coffee table. 'So her mom knows huh? Guess we weren't really trying to be quiet,' rubbing my neck I pop my back before putting at least some pants on I sit down at the table, grabbing my bag that I'd brought I pull out my book, it's not like I can go shower since I don't know the layout well enough.

Flipping through my book I open to a page going over something I'd been working on for awhile, a culmination of everything I know fused together. My own personal fighting style, it's not easy and there's a lot of kinks to work out, but it helps with the stress by making everything one problem instead of multiple.

I started working on it during the long training period after Setsuna had one of those talks she gives me... God I can't tell which is worse, that she gives me so many or that I need so many.... Taking a moment I lean back into the couch, slowly closing my eyes as my vision goes dark.

Setsuna POV - Date: Two Week Training Period

(I might start to use more POV and stuff)

'hm?' Turning around in my bed I notice a lack of warmth. "Love?", my eyes softly twitch open, the darkness from the room being illuminated by my amethyst sitting at the edge of the bed, a book in hand as his pencil scribbles across a page.

Each stroke of his hand carried by a light purple, his legs moving with the same glow as it taps against the floor. I raise from my spot, moving behind him I wrap my arms around him and rest my head on his shoulders being taken by his softly lit eyes.

"Oh, Sorry did I wake you," apologizing he rest his pencil in the center of his book, the pencil bouncing around with a glow to it for a moment. "No, but the lack of you did. Could you not sleep?"

"Yeah, just had some thoughts on my mind is all. The constant training and everything that's happened it's just been making me think a lot". 'Right... everything that's happened,' slowly a hand wraps around the back of my head pulling me in closer as he leans back more.

"Sorry did I bring bad memories?" I quickly shake my head no before moving myself beside him, quickly finding myself under his right arm.

"No... well maybe, but it's in the past and I gained a lot from it so. Anyway, what are you writing about?" For a moment he stares at me, the bags under his eyes being being accentuated by the soft glow from his eyes, it's something he's had a problem with for a while now, honestly don't even know if he's aware of it.

He does this thing where he uses his quirk without knowing, subconsciously using it for the slightest of things. Go to open a door? Well the handle might turn a bit early. Flip a page? It might flip a bit faster. He does it on occasion, but it happens even more when he's exhausted either physically or mentally. He even used it to keep himself straight while walking, even then he didn't realize it.

Since he does it so often it isn't uncommon for his eyes to be constantly glowing, at least somewhat, most would think that it's just his eye color changing because of his quirk, which isn't entirely wrong, or maybe he is always using even the lowest amount of his quirk.

"I'm trying to find a way to get all my training in, there is so much I have to do and so many things I want to learn but I can't seem to fit it all into my schedule. It's getting annoying and I just can't solve it," he leans forward a bit, an exhausted sigh escaping his lips.

We both sit there for a bit, myself reading some of the stuff written down, some techniques or something he's been working on. There's even some little figures doing the moves too, 'huh? is that supposed to be a doodle of me?' In one of the corners there is a small doodle of some one detaching their limbs and a small dog chewing on one, it's a bit crude but cute.

"But why are you trying to cut it all up? If you want to use all these styles at once why not train them equally at the same time?" For a moment he pauses, sitting there just staring at his book before he collapses backwards a heavily exhausted sigh being heard.

"I love you," the words leave his lips making me just blankly stare for a moment. "? I mean I know and I love you too, but why say that now?" I lay down beside him taking my spot on his shoulder before he pulls me into a hug.

"I just do, I was being an idiot and... here you go solving what was a simple problem with a simple answer".

"Hey don't beat yourself up about it, you are exhausted it's bound to happen. You've been pushing yourself super hard recently, maybe it'd be best to take some steps back and just go over everything you know. It always helps when being asked a question and not being able to solve it." From under one of the sheets a giant tuff catapults itself in-between us taking it's resting spot once again.

Now petting the Kuro he stares at the two of us for a moment, "Thanks, we... we should rest, as is I woke you up and maybe I could do with some sleep too."

Nodding in agreement we both dose off once again.

(Although it was his flashback I wanted to give her perspective on it)

MC POV

Opening my eyes I feel a shaking sensation as I glance beside me seeing a pair of long soft legs sitting beside me. "You were dosing off, I figured you might want to shower before we leave," glancing upwards I'm met with Momo's bright smile, her body still completely naked.

Without even realizing it I can't help but stare for a second before standing up, "Yeah, I was going to ask but didn't want to wake you, sleep well?" She nods, quickly standing up beside me as I realize Jiro is already sitting up, still covering herself with the cover on the couch.

"And you?" Jiro responds with a small head nod, avoiding my direction with her eyes. "It seems the realization of what happened is only now reaching her." Momo scoops up the clothing on the table before getting ready to walk off, Jiro finding her way beside her still wrapped up, this time willing to stare at me.

"You're not the only one," I give her a small reassuring smile, 'to be honest I'm not really sure how to feel myself. Because of what happened the night before as well as what caused it all to happen it was very much what you'd call an 'in the heat of the moment' decision, not a bad one but still.'

Finishing our 'talk' Momo guides us through the labyrinth, thankfully no maids or butlers in our path. Although it's possible they knew to stay out of the path as this is probably the nearest showers. We all quickly shower before grabbing and Kuro and heading to school via Momo's personal driver, myself having been sent to another nearby shower.

"So what does this make us all and what does this make you and Setsuna." Our car ride had been mostly quiet, a couple comments here and there from Momo which I'd kindly responded too but this is the first Jiro initiated anything, with good reason.

"... 'saying I don't know would probably be bad...' What do you want us to be, all of us, I think it goes without saying but I've no plans on leaving Setsuna 'along with hoping that she is okay with this, I saw her signs but can never be too careful' and if you want, the same commitment will be towards you, both of you."

For a moment we all sit there, Momo still with her smile, a decision already having been made on her end and Jiro slowly coming to hers.

Jiro crouches up before walking over and sitting beside me, the car being a limo with couch seating. She stares at me for a moment before pulling me in with her jacks, kissing me briefly as she glares at me with a semi-frustrated(?) and bashful look, "You better stay true to your words, I don't know how I feel about sharing a partner, but -she glances towards Momo- I can make due I guess. But! You better not just leave me hanging around only for when you need me."

"I won't, I promise you. I won't be a liar and say I won't be a bit biased in giving Setsuna a lot of time, but I won't leave you behind either." Even if I hadn't said it the two had already known, I'd been dating Setsuna the longest and it was obvious after the quick bond we'd made after only being in school for a couple weeks, some would call it a quick relationship but I'd prefer to say circumstances made us closer.

Jiro seems contempt with my answer as she sits down properly beside me, glancing at me a couple times before laying my left shoulder, the physical affection type. Quickly Momo takes my right, giving me a brief kiss as well. "I won't lie, I originally only took interest in the 'manlier' side of you because of Jiro's infatuation with you "HEY!" but after getting to know you more I truly found someone I wouldn't mind being with for a very long time."

'An odd way to tell someone you love them, I think?' "Thanks? -I give a little chuckle- I don't think I'm suave enough to come up with a good response to that." Momo laughs at my response as Jiro fumes in her seat a bit.

"It wasn't infatuation, it was... curiosity, I- I'd never heard anything like that," Jiro's voice gets softer at that last part, her eyes staring at my heart. "Heard something?" At her words my heart starts pumping a bit more, a feeling crawling up my neck.

"Yeah, you... you have a weird symphony to your heart beat is all. I couldn't well what it was, and I still can't." 

'What does she mean,' slowly I fell pricks at my neck, a light tapping at the back of my skull. "What do you mean?"

"I-it's like a song? Every time I listen to your heartbeat I can hear it, honestly I did a bunch of research, even asked my mom for help but nothing. I've never heard anything like it at all, like an indescribable song, like I'm hearing something... more?" As she talks that feeling starts creeping more and more, as I let in a sharp breath I feel something grab this feeling and tear it away, dragging it deep in waters somewhere else.

"...I see," Jiro looks at me a small worry in her eyes before I give her a soft smile, patting her on the head as she is quick to slap my hand away with her jacks, bashfully of course. "I guess, as long as the song is good should it matter". '...'

"Yes, although it is concerning, maybe 'don't' it has something 'please' to do with your quirk '...' ."

"yeah.... you're probably right, I'll look into when I get the chance," 'again' slowly a creeping feeling is pulled away again as my body calms itself without my request, not forcefully, but still without request.

Odd chapter to write, I've had the Creative Curse for awhile and it's hindering my ability to write as I've got to many ideas but I know if I start more just to vent out the ideas that people might actually love the book and then I've got too much on my plate, I had been given the idea to switch through books I'm currently writing and even mentioned it before (I think).

Yes this idea is great, but I feel weird starting to implement it so soon is all, like I know I could easily start the idea's but continue them? Maybe I should start a one-shot book that gets a basic idea written down for a small one-shot arc, maybe later if I like them enough turn them into actual books?

Anyways Bye!

Question of the Chapter: Best current New-Gen Anime? Honestly, JJK and it's not even a fucking debate in my eyes, like sure opinions and bias gives people answers like Black Clover (Which is fire), but Gege is fucking COOKING, and he needs to stop like please bro (I'm a manga reader btw). 

Also just a small note, the manhwa I mentioned a long time ago, A Returners Magic Should Be Special got an anime, although I haven't watched it I recommend checking it out for anime only people, maybe give some feedback.
