[center][h3][color=20B2AA]Haruka Sanegeyama[/color][/h3] & [h3][color=bc8dbf]Yukari Yozakura[/color][/h3][/center]

Haruka was pleasantly surprised by White Hat’s opinions of her submission. She didn’t think he would have eviscerated her or anything, but such praise coming from a legitimate professional hero felt nice. That last little bit of motivation to push herself into being more heroic in her own right resonated with her, and she took that firmly to heart. That was why she was here, after all. 

Class ended, and she got up to leave and head back to the dorms. Once more, she followed directions hastily scribbled onto the piece of paper she’d been using as a guide all day, thinking about how the space situation would work out. Among her other belongings being delivered, she’d requested that her prototype suit be sent as well. It wasn’t much of a problem to store in her own room, since she didn’t mind having what amounted to a hollow robot stowed in the corner, but she had a roommate to worry about here.

[color=20B2AA][i]”Shit,”[/i][/color] Haruka thought. [color=20B2AA][i]”I’ve never had a roommate before. I don’t think I’ve even met them. Oh god. Don’t do anything weird.”[/i][/color] She hoped to god whoever she would be staying with didn’t find her collection of weird nerd things to be too much of a downside, but now it was nagging at her the whole way to the dorms. 

When she finally reached the dorm she’d be staying in, her paper had been firmly ruined by a vice grip she’d given it, anxiety manifesting physically in the form of a tightly clenched fist. [color=20B2AA][i]”Don’t be in there, please. Maybe if I got here first I can just shove some boxes under the bed or something. Oh god, here we go.”[/i][/color] Hesitantly, she took the doorknob and opened it, stepping in with her eyes tightly shut. 

Upon opening them, she saw her side of the dorm room with a collection of boxes stacked upon and around her bed. One of them was a very tall, vertically stood box, surely containing her costume. She was grateful it had been delivered, but at the same time, felt kind of awful for the person who had to heft the thing in. Haruka never even considered trying to move and store it in such a way. She’d get in and walk it where it needed to be, or otherwise use her Quirk to make it walk around itself. Unless another technopath had been the deliveryman, she doubted they’d had an easy time.

She removed her backpack and got to work fiddling with the boxes, opening them to confirm their contents before scooting them away or relegating them to imprisonment beneath her mattress. The big one remained in place for now, since she could deal with that once her other things had been sorted.  

Yukari would slowly make it back to her dorm, taking her time to reach it while enjoying the walk itself. While she thought that Mako was being rather deceiving, she had to admit that perhaps the true lesson today wasn’t trying to act like a villain, but to think like one. It was a slippy slope to be sure, one that everyone was far too quick to jump on. Even Yukari, in her confusion, participated in the villainy after throwing one of the other students at Mako. Fortunately she failed her attack and avoided trouble, if only narrowly. [color=bc8dbf]”I gotta start using my head! Stuff like this is why I’ve had such an embarrassing time so far.”[/color]

Once at the dorms Yukari could smell the sweet scent of cookies in the air. It was tempting, but she needed to go back to her dorm and drop off her school supplies. Of course, Yukari didn’t have much to her name. She had some clothes generously donated to her, as well as a few basic necessities like feminine products and such, but unlike other students Yukari didn’t have much in terms of decor or personal belongings. She didn’t even have a cellphone. So she imagined that her time unpacking wouldn’t take long. Fortunately Yukari had been informed of her dorm room number prior to its posting, so she didn’t need anyone to tell her which one it was at. She dorm was labeled with a number, both written and in braille. Once Yukari found her door she slipped her keycard through and entered.

From the sounds of it, her roommate was already here. Soft, yet hefty breathing told Yukari that this was a girl of some girth. Not quite athletics, but not truly big either. Someone on the curvy side. She could hear the faint sound of electricity that didn’t come from just the lights, so this girl must have a computer or other similar electronics. Yukari also smelled rubber, plastic, and some sort of metal she’s never smelled before. She was certain that her roommate must be some sort of techhead. This made the blind girl smile. Technology was an amazing thing. [color=bc8dbf]”Hello! I am Yukari Yozakura. I’ll be your roommate for this semester. Um… Please take care of me.”[/color] Yukari said with a bow as she held her cane in her hands.

Getting so absorbed into shoving her belongings into a place of secrecy left Haruka unprepared to hear a voice behind her. She yelped in surprise and spun around quickly, proceeding to lose her balance and fall over in one deft, yet incredibly ungraceful movement. She held herself up with one arm while the other hastily pushed an open box of action figures out of sight, but seeing the cane brought her out of the sudden panic before it got too far. [color=20B2AA]”O-oh, uh,”[/color] Haruka started, pausing for a moment. Yukari, was it? She’d try to remember that. [color=20B2AA]”H-hey, I, uh, I’m Haruka. Haruka Sanegeyama.”[/color] A wave accompanied her greeting for a few seconds before she realized it probably wasn’t going to add anything to it, so she put her hand back down and pulled herself from the floor, her face flushed a fiery red with embarrassment. 

She was silent for a few moments, taking all this in, and figured there wasn’t quite as much of a reason for her ongoing panic as she thought there would be. [color=20B2AA]”S-so, uh, I guess we’re gonna be hanging out, like, a lot, yeah?”[/color] A hand nervously rubbed at the back of her head, staying there for a few minutes as her fingers nervously fidgeted with the tie holding her hair back. [i][color=20B2AA]”Okay, this isn’t so bad. Calm down. It’s gonna be fine,”[/color][/i] she thought, repeating the last bit a few times in her head to try and steady her heartbeat. 

[color=bc8dbf]”Hakura Sanegeyama, yes? That’s a lovely name! It’s a pleasure to meet you. I hope we have lots of fun together!” Yukari pumped her fists and seemed quiet eager. Tapping her cane in front of her Yukari went to what she presumed to be her belongings, which were small enough to fit into a single box. Sure enough all she had was a couple outfits that wasn’t her school uniform, plus a pillow, blanket, and personal products. It took Yukari about five minutes to put them all away before she dropped her bag at the foot of her bed and laid down on the soft and comfy mattress.

[color=bc8dbf]”Ah… After a long day like this, you know what’ll be nice?”[/color]

[color=20B2AA]”N-nice to meet you too,”[/color] Haruka said, starting to calm down a little more. She moved a box on her bed aside so she could sit, thinking about how much she’d need to unpack. Her computer was [i]somewhere[/i] among the mess, as were various other electronics she’d put together, but unpacking them all would take a while. For now, she decided to put it off, since Yukari was talking to her. [color=20B2AA]”What would?”[/color] She asked.

[color=bc8dbf]”A bath!”[/color]

Shortly after, Yukari and Haruka would find themselves at the dorm’s bath house, girl’s only. There was private baths, showers, and a public hot tub too. Yukari seemed to have no issues dressing down to absolutely nothing as she washed up, squealing cutely when she turned the shower on and got blasted with cold water. [color=bc8dbf]”Kya! Too cold! Too cold!”[/color] Yukari fumbled around with the faucet trying to make the water warm, but the cold water and her own blindness made that difficult. 

Haruka was less inclined to be seen without some form of coverage, and in an effort to keep herself from actually dying of embarrassment, she had put on a full-body swimsuit, and a pair of trunks above that for good measure. Even that left her feeling too exposed for her own good, though. She stood in one of the shower stalls, her hair being blasted into water-soaked flatness by a faucet. It was quite a sight, seeing someone so obviously trying not to look completely miserable. 

[color=20B2AA]”Y-you good?”[/color] She asked Yukari, raising her voice just a little so she could be heard past the faucets. 

[color=bc8dbf]”S-S-S-So cold!”[/color] Yukari braved the icy water and managed to find the right faucet to the the water warm. The water then turned into a scalding hot as she over shot, and Yukari’s screams were a bit different. [color=bc8dbf]“Hot hot hot hot!”[/color] Yukari was obviously having difficulties, as Hakura could see. [color=bc8dbf]”A little help!”[/color]

[color=20B2AA][i]”Ah, I see. So this is how I die,[/i][/color] Haruka thought to herself, closing her eyes as she took a deep breath. [color=20B2AA]”Hold on.”[/color] Stepping out of her own stall, she moved over to Yukari’s, keeping her eyes shut as she stepped in. A bit of hot water hit her on the leg, which caused her to yelp and recoil. [color=20B2AA]”Shit!”[/color] She cursed, eyes opening reflexively so she could see where she was. Almost immediately, her head snapped to the right, her vision locking on the stall’s wall as she scooted around the faucet and grabbed the hot water’s knob. A good twist to about the middle helped keep the water from being skin-meltingly hot, and she stuck a hand into the cone of water to test the temperature until it was comfortable. [color=20B2AA]”O-okay, how’s that?[/color]

Yukari couldn’t help but to rub the parts of her body that was both scalded and chilled, which was mostly her legs. Rubbing herself down made the sensation lessen as Haruka was so kind as to make the temperature more pleasant. It was still hot, but not so blazingly that Yukari couldn’t handle it once she let her body adjust. Turning towards Haruka’s direction Yukari gave the girl a big smile. [color=bc8dbf]”Thank you! After we wash up a bit, let’s move into the baths!”[/color] Yukari said with glee as she wasted no time lathering her lithe, thin body with body wash, covering herself in soap. Again, she showed no shame in doing this in front of Haruka. She actually wasn’t aware if Haruka was still there or not and had simply assumed her voice would reach her.

Both to preserve Yukari’s decency and prevent herself from going into severe cardiac arrest, Haruka made sure to keep her line of vision away from anywhere below Yukari’s neck. [color=20B2AA]”S-sure,”[/color] She answered, giving her a futile thumbs up that dropped almost as soon as it had been given. As quickly as she could manage, she returned to her own stall and closed it, taking a deep breath as she allowed her neck to return to a natural angle so she could wash her hair. [color=20B2AA][i]”Whoever invented public baths is a sadist and I hate them,”[/i][/color] She thought, rinsing suds off her face. 

It wasn’t long before Yukari was finished bathing and sitting in the tub. Fortunately for Haruka, the tub’s water was rather murky thanks to the herbal soap that had been put inside of it, hiding Yukari’s features. She had a look of utter bliss as she let her entire body soak in the water. Only her face was above the surface and even that had a nice cool towel on her forehead to give Yukari the pleasant sensation of both warmth and chill. [color=bc8dbf]”Come in Haruka! The water is fine~”[/color]

Leaving the stall, her half-dead expression still plastered on her face, Haruka looked towards the large tub. The unclear water was a relief, and she felt much less inclined to move on to the next world upon seeing that. [color=20B2AA]”Coming,”[/color] She answered, plodding over to the tub and taking a seat opposite of where Yukari was. It felt nice, and the scent of herbs was very pleasant to take in. Leaning back to rest, she let out a deep breath and finally relaxed. [color=20B2AA][i]”Okay, maybe they’re not as sadistic as I thought. This is pretty great, actually.”[/i][/color] 

For a while, Yukari said nothing as she soaked in the tub. In fact there was a few times she seemed to have been snoring, as the temptation of falling asleep under such comforting conditions was almost too much for the performer. But she managed to fight off the temptation long enough for Yukari to shift positions to look in Haruka’s general direction. [color=bc8dbf]”Mhmm. Haruka, you do realize I’m blind right?”[/color] Yukari said as she tilted her head to the side, causing the towel on her head to fall into the water. 

[color=20B2AA]”Huh? Oh, uh, yeah. I picked up on that pretty quickly,”[/color] She answered. [color=20B2AA]”The, uh, the cane, y’know?[/color]

[color=bc8dbf]”Mhmm! That’s good. Kind of an elephant in the room sometimes, you know?”[/color] Yukari said as she dunked her head into the water before rising up a second later. She grabbed her hair and started to run her fingers through the long locks. [color=bc8dbf]”So… As you could imagine, I’m pretty good with my other senses. Hearing, smell, that sort of thing. And I couldn’t help but notice that you’re wearing a swimsuit into the baths.”[/color] Yukari had heard an odd amount of squeeking, very similar to thighs rubbing against a full-body swimsuit. Yukari was completely naked and only Haruka was here, so logic dictates that Haruka was wearing a swimsuit.

[color=bc8dbf]”Since you know I’m blind and I can’t see you, why are you wearing a swimsuit? Boys aren’t allowed here and most of the girls are out I think. Are you worried I’d judge you?”[/color] Yukari said with a curious tilt. It was something that comes up a lot more than Yukari expects. She simply notices that people seem much more self conscious about themselves around her, and she wasn’t sure why. Surely they couldn’t think that she somehow saw something about them beyond their visual appearance? She’s blind, not a psychic. She couldn’t see into their thoughts or anything.

At first, Haruka answered with a simple nod and hummed noise of acknowledgement. It hadn’t been hard to put two and two together regarding the cane. Yukari didn’t seem to be limping, and that back-and-forth swaying motion was a very sure sign of using it to navigate the environment. Haruka wasn’t familiar with all the ins and outs of physical disabilities, but she knew that much, at least. She continued to rest, content to remain quiet for a bit, but another thing came up. Opening her eyes, she listened and peeked down at herself at the mention of the swimsuit. 

[color=20B2AA]”O-oh, uh, well, n-no, it’s not [i]you[/i] specifically, I just, uh…”[/color] Haruka paused, trying to think of how to word her explanation. Severe anxiety was pretty damn rough, but not something she was completely comfortable letting out to someone she’d pretty much just met. Not that Yukari wasn’t nice, of course, she’d been absolutely lovely so far. Without getting too into it, she decided a bit of basic explanation wouldn’t be too much to give. [color=20B2AA]”I’ve, uh, I’ve got a really, really bad issue. W-with, uh, anxiety, and like, sometimes it makes me get r-really sad, but usually I’m, uh, worried. About, about everything,”[/color] She took a minute to close her eyes and take a deep inhale. [color=20B2AA]”Little stuff helps keep me more stable, and, and I guess this is one of those little things. It makes me feel...less vulnerable, if, if that make ssense.”[/color]

[color=bc8dbf]”Hmm… Yup! That makes sense actually.”[/color] Yukari played with her hair like little brushes stroking the water, slapping the surface as if they were her hands. She seemed to enjoy playing in the water, more so when it was nice and warm like this. [color=bc8dbf]”Hmm…. You know Haruka…. I think I should be the one who’s sorry. I guess I’m just too used to being seen and not seeing others. Funny right? Usually you don’t know what you had until you lost it. In my case, I don’t know what I had all until it’s explained to me!”[/color] Yukari was trying to make a joke to lighten the mood, as well as maintain a chipper attitude even if she did feel a bit bad.

[color=bc8dbf]”Ah, I guess what I’m trying to say is um… Sorry if I seemed too… Forward? Thoughtless? I um… I guess I’m just so used to this, I kinda expected you do too… Not that there’s anything wrong with it it’s just I forgot and you’re not like me and um… How do I put this…”[/color] Yukari started to single further and further into the water until only her hair could be seen floating on the surface. Now she was the one who seemed flustered and embarrassed. 

[color=20B2AA]”O-oh, no, no, it’s okay,”[/color] Haruka responded, taking on an attempted reassuring tone despite the bit of stuttering in her voice. [color=20B2AA]”It’s not like you could’ve known about, uh, my issues, and stuff. It’s, like, not really something that shows, anyway, u-unless it starts to get really bad.”[/color] She hoped the explanation was satisfactory, but she was second-guessing some of her choice in words all the same. [color=20B2AA]”I mean, unless someone could...I dunno, read my mind, I guess? Oh god, I hope nobody in this school is a mind reader.”[/color]

As harrowing as that thought was, it passed pretty quickly, and she adjusted her seating in the tub, taking a moment to go under before she came back up, her face warmed up by the water. Settling back in, a bit of curiosity struck her. [color=20B2AA]”So, uh, what’s your Quirk, anyway?”[/color] She hoped to god it wasn’t mind reading. 

Poking her head over the water Yukari mulled on Haruka’s thoughts. On one hand, she definitely wasn’t all that convincing. But Haruka was trying her best. So Yukari put her best smile back on and sat up in the tub. WHen she asked what Yukari’s quirk was she showed it off but stretching her body up and out of the tub, even holding her hand to her mouth and blowing it up like a balloon. [color=bc8dbf]”I’m super stretchy! My body is like rubber so I can extend it, fold it, or even make it bigger. Heh… Wanna see a little trick?”[/color]

As Yukari stood and showed off her Quirk, Haruka’s face went red in the few moments of exposure before she suddenly became very rotund. That was kind of bizarre to see, as many physicality-based Quirks were. Seeing a human body change in that way was more than a little unnerving, but the stretchiness explanation made sense. Haruka had read some comics in the past with fictional heroes that could do similar things, but seeing it on paper was quite different from witnessing it firsthand.

[color=20B2AA]”What kind of trick?”[/color] Haruka asked, curious as to what exactly that would entail. 

Yukari made a mischievous chuckle as she went back into the water. Bubbles rose up around her hair before Yukari’s head poked out from the water’s surface. [color=bc8dbf]”Get ready for a heartstopper.”[/color] Slowly Yukari stood up, and in front of her chest… On her chest was something that wasn’t there before. It was big. It was round. It was unbelievable. But thanks to Yukari’s quirk, she could easily grow any part of her body and morph it into nearly any shape or form she wanted. [color=bc8dbf]”Hehe… Hold your applause, please, because this is just the beginning!”[/color]

Haruka was curious, and the very circus-esque announcements amused her. At the sight of what Yukari had turned her body into, she was quite surprised, an expression of some shock coming to her face. She had imagined many things could be done with body-stretching powers, but somehow, something like [i]this[/i] had never come to mind. [color=20B2AA]”O-oh, geez, how much further can this go?”[/color]

[color=bc8dbf]”Heh, this is just the tip of the iceberg!”[/color] Yukari made it bigger, more amazing, almost grotesquely so for someone of such a small frame. However this wasn’t anything unusual to the performer and she has done this plenty of times. Yukari has had satisfied customers each time. As it got more intense the space between Yukari and Haruka shorten until eventually Yukari just had to pop the question. [color=bc8dbf]”Would you like to touch? See how they feel? I promise you… It’s all me~”[/color]

Haruka was hesitant, but the offer was greatly intriguing. She was curious as to what they felt like, especially after being upsized to such a degree. [color=20B2AA]”U-uh, okay, sure,”[/color] She answered, lifting a hand out of the water. It was still for a moment, but slowly moved forward and took hold of what Yukari offered her, giving a testing squeeze to see if it still felt natural. 

It was certainly natural, and even made Yukari blush. [color=bc8dbf]”Oh my, you’re so gentle Haruka!”[/color] Yukari’s soft, tender meat was squished in between Haruka’s hands. Admittedly they did feel very squishy, but the more Haruka squeezed they’d start to feel more firm. [color=bc8dbf]”Heh heh, that tickles~”[/color] Yukari said playfully as she inched closer and closer to Haruka. Before she’d know it, her entire body would be engulfed by Yukari. [color=bc8dbf]”Surprise!”[/color] What Haruka would feel would be the softest, warmest hug she may ever feel as Yukari was wrapped around Haruka’s body, like a hotdog between two warm buns.

Being fully surrounded in such a way felt strange, but not wholly unpleasant. It was very surprising though, as evidenced when Haruka let out another one of her wordless yelps upon being grabbed. [color=20B2AA]”H-hey, woah, p-personal space!”[/color] She said jokingly, unable to stop a giggle from slipping out at the end. While she was being held, she wiggled around a little, freeing her arms up. She patted at Yukari’s flesh, curiously tapping her as if she were some kind of drum. [color=20B2AA]”This is neat,”[/color] She thought aloud. [color=20B2AA]”P-pretty comfy, too.”[/color]

[color=bc8dbf]”Hehe! Thanks! I um… I don’t do this for everyone of course. Just my closest friends and… And well.... I hope we can be close friends.”[/color] Yukari said as her smile faded just a bit. Since Haruka was so close to her not, this seemed like a good chance for Yukari to have a heart-to-heart with her. [color=bc8dbf]”I um… I just wanted to make sure you’re comfortable around me, you know? A lot of people see me and know I’m blind and I guess… I guess they just feel uneasy. Sometimes they’re worried about me, sometimes they just think I know something, and you know I’m… I’m just a normal girl. At least I’d like to think so. So… Yeah.”[/color] Yukari leaned against Haruka, laying her head against the giant shape she had made between the two of them.

[color=bc8dbf]”I hope with this, maybe… Maybe you will be okay with me?”[/color]

Haruka listened, agreeing with Yukari’s suggestion. She gave a nod, which would probably be felt considering how engulfed she currently was. [color=20B2AA]”Y-yeah,”[/color] She began to say, smiling a little bit. [color=20B2AA]”I think that’ll work out. Just, uh, you know, as long as you don’t mind the whole anxiety thing. It, uh, takes a bit sometimes, but I think...I think it’ll work.”[/color] Yukari was nice, and taking the time to talk like this had done well for Haruka’s comfort level. But there was still the situation with Yukari’s growth going on. [color=20B2AA]”But, uh, if you’re done doing the thing with making your hands into balloon animals, I kinda need to get up for a sec.”[/color] 

[color=bc8dbf]”Oh, of course.”[/color] Yukari took a step back and undid her arms and hands from their balloon animal forms. On anyone else this would have been multiple horrific broken bones, but for Yukari this was a party trick she could do in her sleep. As she was almost done unknotting her arms, her foot ended up slipping on that towel that fell into the bathtub. She was nearly about to fall forward but on instinct she threw her arms forward instead, right towards Haruka. Yukari barely managed to brace herself against the bathtub before their heads collided, prevent a possible concussion. It also helped that Haruka’s bigger body provided plenty of cushioning as Yukari bounced her chest against Haruka’s chest. [color=bc8dbf]”Oh! Sorry! Are you alright Haruka?”[/color] Yukari asked as her face was barely an inch away from her roommate’s. 

Upon being released, Haruka was just about ready to stand and stretch out. The water was comfortable, but her muscles tended to get tense if she stood still for too long. It was nothing a little bit of basic stretching couldn’t fix though, and even before she got up, she did some arm stretches to limber back up. However, Yukari’s resulting slip ended up stopping that, and she reflexively lurched back herself to try and avoid what looked to be an incoming headbutt. Luckily, neither of them were smashing skulls today. Though she did wonder if Yukari even had a skull, considering.

Having shut her eyes in the sudden flash of motion that led to her being pinned by her bathmate, she didn’t quite realize how close Yukari had gotten despite the pressure on her chest. [color=20B2AA]”Y-yeah, yeah, I’m good,”[/color] She responded, opening them. [color=20B2AA]”Are you…?”[/color] She trailed off, the closeness of Yukari’s face taking her by surprise. [color=20B2AA]”U-uh.”[/color]

[color=bc8dbf]”Hmm?”[/color] Yukari smiled at Haruka and tilted her head to the side, uncertain what Haruka was trying to say. [color=bc8dbf]”What is it Haruka? Are you hurt? Is it too hot in here?”[/color]

[color=20B2AA]”Not hurt,”[/color] She responded, clearing her throat a little. [color=20B2AA]”Just, uh, n-not used to really close contact.”[/color]

[color=bc8dbf]”Oh. Ooooooh.”[/color] Yukari stepped back, careful not to fall this time. She reached into the water and pulled the towel out and held it in front of her chest. [color=bc8dbf]”Eh heh… Why don’t we head back to our dorm now? I think we’ve spent enough time soaking.”[/color] Yukari motioned for Haruka to go ahead, and shortly after Yukari would head back to the changing rooms into her pajama clothes. It was a simple night gown in the form of a strapless minidress. It had a rabbit motif to it. She even had some white bunny slippers. [color=bc8dbf]”I’ll meet you back at the dorms!”[/color]
