[So many things have happened to the 78 Class in such a short amount of time. What was suppossed to be a school year filled with heartfelt memories turned into a nightmare. Now the class found themselves sealed away in the school, away from the decaying world that was outside the school's doors.

Asahina is laying in her bed, looking up at the ceiling while letting out the longest sigh that's ever been sighed. They were suppossed to be safe in here, right? Despite that thought, she couldn't help but feel guilty that they were safe while everyone else outside was suffering. Finally, she couldn't take this. She needed to go release some pent up frustration.

SHE HAD TO GO SWiM!!

The swimmer girl jumps out of her bed, grabbing her swimsuit along with a few other things. She practically kicks the door open and starts bolting her way to the pool. (She didn't even care if Ishimaru caught her running in the halls. In her mind: This was totally welcome in a school enviroment, okay!!!) Asahina was so caught up in trying to make it to the pool that she didn't even notice Chihiro standing far away and in the most ungraceful matter ever, she runs straight into him, causing both of them to crash into the ground.]

Fujisaki!!

[In an instant, she gets up and rushes over to Chihiro, holding out her hand to help him stand up.]

I'm so sorry! I wasn't paying attention to where I was going. [OBVIOUSLY, ASAHINA.] Are you okay? I didn't run into you too hard, did I?

[No one could have predicted how any of this could have happened. What started as a school scandal that seemed to be straight out of a work of fiction somehow escalated to the point the riots and wars had no meaning besides destruction for the mere sake of it. Of course the last thing Chihiro manages to create had been Alter Ego and the guide manual to the project he's been working with two upperclassmen before the world became the fiery hell it is now, he can only hope that the manual is safe in Gekkougahara's hands.

Things are safe here, and he never stops feeling guilty to have the fortune of being protected behind the doors of Hope's Peak Academy's old building. His wonders of his parents, Gekkougahara, worried of the possible fate anyone he knows ending up like Yuuto Kamishiro or Yasuke Matsuda. What's more terrifying about their fate is the fact he didn't knew until it was all too late.

If only he traced emails further than Kamishiro had asked then maybe...

Well, it's too late now. Hoping is the only thing he can do now.]

Ah-!

[His thoughts however came to a halt immediately as he finds himself falling and landing on his butt. It takes him a second to realize who he bumps into.]

N, no! It's fine, I'm okay...!

[He ducks his head in embarrassment, well as far it goes, but he doesn't look too okay. With his thoughts of being critical melting away the realization that he just bumped into one of the nicest people he's ever known and the fact he's still wearing a skirt despite the fact they all know his real gender at this point. It's still kind of a subject he's having a hard time believing, that he still wears feminine clothes in fear that it might have been a distant dream to begin with.

But more importantly! He braces himself to look up and look at Aoi in the eye. His brown eyes show nothing but concern and worry.]

Are you okay though, Asahina? I hope I hadn't hit you too hard.

[Of all the people she ran into, it had to be Chihiro and just the thought made her feel even worse. If it was someone like Sakura or Mondo, she'd laugh it off and be on her merry way. But it was sweet, innocent Chihiro and it made her feel like she harmed a tiny kitten or a puppy.]

Seriously, I can't apologize enough for running through the halls and bumping into you like a mad woman.

[She's going to peer over him, looking at the top of his head and hope that she didn't cause a bump to form.]

I'm totally fine, Fujisaki! Believe it or not, I can take a hit.

[While in the midst of trying to hide her embarrassment, a goofy smile forms on her lips and she jokingly flexes one of her arms. She does take note of the expression on his face and becomes increasingly concerned.]

Are you sure you are okay, though? I can take you to the nurses office if it hurts anywhere.

[The thing with him is that care and anxiety goes hand in hand, encircling around the sleeve where his heart is; he's really worry of people around him. The frown in his face deepens, he's not entirely convince of her assurance just yet. So he'd take 'not' over 'believe it', sorry Aoi.

He shakes his head as he makes a 'mm'.]

I'm not hurt at all, but thank you.

[He's mostly restless than anything. There's always subtle bags under his eyes, even when he masquerade as a girl, he hadn't practice using makeup but now they're a bit more pronounce thanks to recent world-scale incidents. But really, he isn't the only one and he can easily imagine that everyone else is agitated and anxious as him. Maybe that's why his friend had been in such a hurry to be elsewhere within the bunker?]

Um.... were you going to the swimming pool?

[While Asahina was far from being the brightest crayon in in the box, she did take note of his frown. In return, she tries to give him her best reassuring smile. She wasn't quite sure if he believed her, but it didn't hurt to try and reassure him more, right?]

I was! I needed to let out some stress and whenever I'm feeling down, swimming a lap or two always helps me calm down. Something about the rush and being in the water helps me feel at peace.

[At that moment, a very brilliant idea pops up into her head.]

Hey! What are you up to Fujisaki? If you'd like, maybe we can do something together? It totally doesn't have to be swimming or anything! We could just like, talk or... eat our worries away!! But we can also swim if you'd like too!!

[She might have sounded a little too excited at the mention of a swim with him. Really, what she needed the most right now was to just chill out and talk to someone. This whole situation was driving her crazy and she needed to get her mind off of things.]

[Chihiro himself doesn't always read people all too well, but there's always an effort hr puts to understand as much as he can. His friend's smile looks a little too strain at first but then the topic swimming came up and...

He curled his hands into fists and put them up near his chest. ]

Mhm! We can go swimming, it's been awhile since we do.

[Well, they haven't had a pool outting together along with everyone else, but he imagines it hasn't been that long since Aoi hit the pool by herself. However her interest in it is exactly why he suggest swimming. ]

We can take out the beach ball from the storage room, or even a race...!

[He's going to regret it if it's a race, but anything to make his friend at ease!]

Really?! You'll swim with me?! Thank you Fujisaki!! It's going to be so more much fun with you.

[Okay, she couldn't hold back her excitement any longer. Although, it's not like she ever tried to begin with... but swimming with her friend and classmate. Could this day get any better? It was almost as if her worries from earlier were starting to disappear little by little. Even before this incident, for some odd reason, she always felt at ease whenever she was around Chihiro.]

Hehe, you are right! It has been a while since we last swam together, huh?

[Come to think of it, they haven't swam together as a class in a while too. Maybe she would have to change that. At his suggestions, Asahina stares at him wide eyed and her jaw slightly open. When she finally gets over her intial amazement, her eyes were suddenly fired up with determination and she's grinning from ear to ear.]

Holy crap!! Those are amazing ideas. You are such a genius Fujisaki! We totally have to do all of that.

[Because of her excitement, Asahina was about ready to take off running to the storage room. However, she immediately ends up stopping and glances over at her friend, not wanting to get overzealous and leave his side like a doofus.]

Sorry! I got so excited I almost took off. Want to head to the storage room together before we head to the pool?
