[Freja Helt]

She was feeling miserable.

Laying in bed Freja was staring out her dorm room window with a distant look in her eyes and a heavy pain in her stomach. Latent, intense emotions that had built up and she didn't know how to get rid of them. This time of year was always difficult for her. She was always more of a winter person, but she never had a reason to dislike the transition from spring to summer until it turned into her death anniversary. It was coming up, and whenever it was, she remembered it all a lot more vividly. At this point it had happened so consistently every year that she had even taken the weekend off, knew not to make plans when she was feeling like this.

And even though she was used to it by now, the pain didn't ease up one bit. She had even put on her favorite sad movie to help get her tears flowing, but crying didn't help her either. The only variant that was different this year was hero school and... Sumi.

She couldn't stop thinking about Sumi. How every time they hung out, it was like the world stood still, like nothing else mattered in that moment but sharing laughs with her. She couldn't shake the feeling that if Sumi was here right now, she wouldn't feel nearly as shitty about the past she was running from. If Sumi was here, maybe they would laugh and joke around like usual. No painful past, no stressful present, just Sumi's company. She put her index finger up to wipe away tears she hadn't been expecting. Curled up under her blanket, she reached for her phone.

''Hey I know this is sudden, but are you free to hang out?''

She typed the message quickly, but stared at the screen for several seconds as she dissected every word. She even pondered whether to send it at all. Sumi was a busy woman after all. She probably had lots of things lined up already. Maybe she could sneak into the support labs on Monday? But why would Freja even come there? She would need an excuse, like maybe she got lost and thought it was another building- or maybe she was there to see someone about making her a superpowered glove or something! She let her imagination run wild with the possibilities for a moment, before looking down at her phone screen to see that her finger had already pressed send on the text.

[attr="class,"memoryDarkbody"]Life was picking up really quickly lately, which was great in Sumi's eyes! She had finally managed to get a good rhythm going with her new life as a support student. This originally came the headache of trying to fit her classes and extracurriculars on top of her already swamped schedule, but she failed to account for one thing; how helpful friends were! There were so many support students eager to lend a hand or just generally offer support. Especially considering how people in the business world treated her it was nice to just be seen as an equal for once, not someone's boss.
[break][break]
So there she sat in her penthouse, oversized t-shirt and flannel pajama bottoms, taking a well-deserved break. It was getting close to fall and this meant that some of her favorite movies were on and she was curled up on her couch to take advantage of this fact fully. Spotting an actor who's name she couldn't quite remember she reached for her phone just as the notification of a text went off, it was Freja! She could tell by the selfie she had them take after karaoke to make her contact picture, a tradition for all of her favorite people!
[break][break]
The vibe she was getting from the text was...concerning to say the least. Freja was definitely the reserved and if she was reaching out in this way it was probably important![break]

"Sure! Come by my place I'm just hanging out!"
[break][break]
Then came the scramble to make sure the place was presentable enough for Freja. She rarely had guests after all!

[Freja Helt]

Freja turned in her bed and looked over at her bat, sitting comfortably in the little stand she had for it. Sometimes, she felt amazing with BBB, she felt like she really could become a hero, surpass even Windfall. Others, she felt like she wasn't enough, that she was just dragging everyone around her down. Sitting up she stretched her arm out and whispered the phrase her sister always did when she activated her quirk. ''Sacred Flame.'' Nothing, still nothing. It had been almost five years now, five years of nothing.

Then, her phone buzzed and the screen lit up. ''That was fast.'' She muttered to herself as she picked it up and read the text from Sumi. ''Her place?'' She was a little groggy getting out of bed, rocking the oversized t-shirt look as well as she walked over to the light switch. As the lights turned on Freja looked at herself in the mirror. Lazy t-shirt, messy hair from laying in bed all day. Then came the panic. She couldn't go over to Sumi's place looking like this! She looked down at her phone again and texted back before she started getting dressed.

''I'll be right there!''

As she deliberated on whether to wear a hoodie or sweater, Freja opened her window and stood in front of it. How cold was it really? Then the deathly chill of Mother Nature hit her and she quickly closed the window again. It was cold enough that she decided on a black long sleeve shirt, a pair of gray jogging pants and her yellow fall coat that had been hanging in her room for months.

As she was about to head for the door Freja paused, looking back at something she had finished last night. She had been nervous about giving it to Sumi, but on a whim, she decided to grab it and take it with her.

[attr="class,"memoryDarkbody"]With the cleaning being done all that was left to do was wait for Freja. At this point she knew how wealthy Sumi actually was, given the extravagance of the yacht party, but she had never seen where she actually lived. Sumi technically had a dorm she could use but she was on the move enough that she didn't take advantage very often. Even still, a penthouse of this size was sure to turn some heads.
[break][break]
When Freja arrived at the lobby, she was waved down by the receptionist which confirmed that was on the list to be let in. A quick elevator ride to the 21st floor and she would soon be in front of Sumi's place. "Coming!" she'd call out after hearing the knocking and still in her pajamas she'd open the door to see her taller companion with a cute outfit. "Come in! I love the jacket, I'll take it whenever you're ready. You can have a seat anywhere! I was just watching a movie." she'd hand Freja's coat up and walking over to the kitchen "Hungry? I'm not the best cook, but I can make a mean bowl of ramen" whatever was bothering Freja she hoped that her own good mood would be infectious.

[Freja Helt]

She knew Sumi was loaded, but it was hard not to be a little awestruck walking into that lobby. She was almost about to excuse herself and leave until she was allowed to be let in and rode the elevator up. Was she really allowed to even set foot here? She felt out of her depth, but she was ready to do just about anything to see Sumi right now. Her hand played with the box in her pocket. Fidgeting nervously as she walked up to her door.

Any anxiety, fear or sadness immediately vanished when Sumi opened the door and greeted her. It felt like she had been without sunlight for months and then in an instant, there it was, the light switched on and she couldn’t help but smile. Then she noticed what Sumi was wearing and couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed. Had she rushed over here so quickly Sumi hadn’t gotten dressed? Or maybe she just wanted to wear something casual, that seemed like a very Sumi thing to do. “T-Thank you! It’s new.” Well, she bought it out of season, but it was still relatively new. “Oh yeah? What were you watching?” She took her jacket off and handed it to Sumi. “Thank you. It was so cold outside.” So cold that her cheeks and nose were probably a little red.

For a moment she stood there and took it all in. Sumi’s penthouse. It was huge. Could one person really live in all this space without feeling small by comparison? “I’d love some ramen.” She smiled, something warm to eat right after being out in the cold was a godsend, Sumi was a Saint. “I’m sure your cooking is killer.” She walked in a little further, still looking around. “This is a really nice place.”

[attr="class,"memoryDarkbody"]"Oh, just Fuji TV! I didn't have anything particular on, you're more than welcome to change the channel" she'd poke her head out of the kitchenette and point towards the coffee table. "You can just speak up to the TV to change channels or use the remote" she'd focus back on the task at hand, taking some dashi out of the fridge and putting it on the stove to heat it up. She may not have known how to cook things from scratch properly, but she could follow instructions! Premade dashi was still considered home cooking, just not at her home.
[break][break]
"Flattery will get you everywhere!" she said with a slight laugh before appearing with the bowls of food "If you lift up the cushion, there's a blanket underneath if you're still cold" she'd settle down putting her own blanket over herself "So what's up? I figured the first time you'd visit would be to one of my parties, not that that's a problem." she'd take up a few noodles in her chopsticks and slurp them up with the broth. Freja was a great friend, and she wanted to be supportive, but Sumi wasn't one for nuance. It's better to get directly to the point and work from there! Especially if Freja was in distress.

[Freja Helt]

''You can speak to the TV and it'll know?'' She looked perplexed, she didn't even have anything against Fuji TV, but now she simply had to try it. As she sat down she leaned forward. ''Channel 2.'' Then as the TV flickered and changed the channel she couldn't hold back her excitement. ''It worked! Ch-Channel 3! How does it do that?'' She was easily impressed, but found it amusing that Sumi had something so 'high tec' in her penthouse. Leave it to Sumi to be up to date on these sorts of things.

''Smells great!'' She smiled back as Sumi appeared with the bowls. ''Oh really?'' She followed Sumi's advice and quickly wrapped herself in a blanket too, curling up on the couch with a satisfied smile as she could feel the cold draining from her hands and feet. Eventually she leaned forward to have a look at the bowl's contents, brushing some of her hair behind her ear to avoid getting it in the food. ''O-Oh.. You saw right through my texts.'' She smiled apologetically, holding both of her hands over the steaming bowl of ramen as if it was a campfire. ''Well...'' She sat up properly, putting her hands in her lap as she looked down at the floor and build up the courage to speak. Where did she even start? ''It's the time of year, I guess.'' She subconsciously fiddled with the blanket, rubbing it between her thumb and index finger. ''The accident with me and Freja, it happened almost five years ago today. When I think about that...'' She sighed, her heart feeling heavier than ever. ''A lot of emotions come rushing back.'' She looked down at the ramen, finding it somehow easier than looking at Sumi as she essentially poured her heart out.

''It makes me question a lot of things. I present as Freja, but inside I think I'm more like Elias.'' She held a hand up to her forehead. It felt unusually hot, but she wrote it off as the blanket and insulation of Sumi's penthouse helping her heat up faster. ''So who am I? My life restarted five years ago, but how am I doing? What would Freja think? What would Elias think? I feel like if you took me apart,'' she looked down at the palm of her hand, ''and then put me back together, I wouldn't be the same person. Is who I am temporary because I was the product of a quirk?'' She finally looked up at Sumi, uncertain, a little scared she had talked too much. With a small sigh she smiled. ''Sorry, I didn't mean to get all existential right away.'' She picked up the chopsticks and fished some noodles out of her own bowl. ''I wanted to visit you during more happy occasions too.'' She blew on the noodles a couple of times before taking a big bite and slurping them down.

[attr="class,"memoryDarkbody"]She laughed at Freja playing with the TV "Honestly, I don't blame you for wanting to play with it you should have seen the first day I got it. I swear I spent hours messing with all the functions." engineering wasn't exactly her strong suit but she still had the natural curiosity that plagued most STEM students. She would lean back settling into the spot she was in prior to Freja coming over with a pillow under her back. She had intended to just sleep in tomorrow and was going to watch TV until she passed out, but life had other plans. The company was always more fun!
[break][break]
"Girl, to be fair, you're very honest with your feelings. It's what I like about you!" she would try to diffuse the situation a bit by brightening up the room with some fun. However, this was much heavier than she had anticipated. She listened intently to Freja explain the situation surrounding her death once more, just this time in more detail. She'd place a hand on Freja's shoulder and speak delicately, "You're you. I wish I could help you through this, or we had met sooner so I could have done something. I'm here to talk, always" she knew that this was perhaps the wrong thing to say to someone dealing with an existential crisis, but she wanted to be open as possible "I'm sure whether I met both Elias and Freja, they'd both become one of my best friends just like you!" something she hadn't said aloud until now and yet it didn't change her thoughts on the matter "Hah I'd be a pretty crappy friend if I only hung out with people when it was only happy occasions. You don't know how truly boring some of the work events I go to are" she'd slump her shoulders and sigh just to start laughing a bit at how ridiculously phony those things were.
[break][break]
If there was one thing that did catch her eye it was Freja's complexion. Sumi was no doctor but she had been working with living things for such a long time it was pretty obvious when someone wasn't feeling well. "Freja. Are you feeling okay? you're a little red" she'd take the dorsal side of her hand and place it against her forehead. She was definitely running hot, but before suggesting any medications she wanted to make sure she wasn't making things up.

[Freja Helt]

She liked that about her? Freja would have thought that made her annoying, like all she could ever do was call up Sumi if she needed therapy. Sometimes she wished she could suppress her feelings more easily, so they didn't always bubble to the surface like this, but the truth was, Sumi was very easy to talk to and she was a great listener. Maybe it was just the way she spoke, or the hand she had placed on her shoulder, but Freja suddenly felt her shoulders tense a little less, and relaxed a bit. Her head felt heavy too, almost like she was so relaxed she could take a nap right then and there.

''Yeah? I'd hope so.'' She smiled returning the sentiment. Whether it was as Elias, old Freja or her current self there wasn't a single world where she wouldn't have wanted to bump into Sumi and go out drinking with her, to send silly memes and talk about hopes and dreams with, all those things she could do with her best friend. ''I can only imagine, I have to psyche myself up when there's a party coming up since I'm usually only more outgoing once I start getting tipsy. I can't fathom having to go to functions like that.'' Sumi's laughter was pleasant. In a way it let her know that she wasn't a downer, and that even if she talked about serious stuff they could still be having fun and joking seconds later. There were no expectations to hanging out with Sumi, and she loved that. Sure, she wanted Sumi to like her, but aside from that Freja felt like she could let her guard down around Sumi in a way that she didn't feel with others. Heck, it was how she immediately spilled the beans and was so brutally honest about her complicated feelings as soon as Sumi asked.

''Hm?'' She looked up at Sumi as she got another bite of noodles. Finishing chewing she shook her head gently. ''Really? Are you sure it isn't just the ramen?'' When she shook her head, everything started spinning in a way she hadn't anticipated. Swaying a bit, she narrowed her eyes. ''I mean...'' She was feeling unusually hot now that she mentioned it, or was Sumi's hand just ice cold? Before she could say anymore, her words trailed off as she closed her eyes and fell back onto the couch, her head clearly not agreeing with her decision to sit upright.

[attr="class,"memoryDarkbody"]"Between you and me, I do the same" she couldn't count the times she had to have a few drinks just to get through the night "But honestly it's easier when you've been doing it your whole life, plus the ones that aren't made up of donors or executives are really really fun! I'll bring you to one at some point as my guest." she'd take another bite of her ramen "If you thought the burgers were impressive from karaoke, just wait until you see some of the stuff they serve at this events"
[break][break]
Her concern began to grow as the redness in Freja's face began to grow, whatever was going on with her it wasn't a good sign. "Trust me, I didn't make the ramen that hot." she'd point to her own face "Otherwise it'd be like looking in a mirror not that I mi-...Freja? Freja!?" her jovial nature quickly turned to concern as Freja collapsed on the couch. Her cheeks were bright red and she looked like she was breaking out in a cold sweat. Whatever was going on, it clearly wasn't good and Sumi knew at least where to start.
[break][break]
The first thing she'd do was check her pulse and press her ear against Freja's chest to make sure she was still breathing. A few chest compressions made her relax a bit, but she'd waste no time getting an ice pack and a thermometer from his medical cabinet. She'd move Freja so she was laying down on the couch, propping her head up with the pillow and place the ice pack on her forehead. "Say aah" she'd place the thermometer under her tongue "38.5. Freja you're definitely sick, I don't know if your roommates will be expecting you. I can give them a call if you'd like to explain?" She wanted to help as much as possible and honestly couldn't rule out that the stress of her traumatic event might have been what was making her ill.

''Really? You always seem so confident and in your element at parties.'' If anything, Sumi was a really good actor. Then again, what wasn't she good at? She was amazing at pretty much anything and everything. Like yeah, maybe she didn't know how to swing a weapon like herself, but learning things like that was small potatoes. Anyone could wield a bat or a staff as well as she could with enough training, and she didn't doubt someone as incredible as Sumi could surpass her. Heck, she kind of wanted her to. ''M-Me?'' She almost choked on noodles. She could understand hanging out like they usually did, but would Sumi really want to associate with her at such a big fancy gathering? She didn't want to embarrass her if it ever came to that, but she wouldn't turn down an invitation from Sumi either. ''Ahh those burgers.'' She sighed blissfully. ''I still dream about them.''

No matter how much she tried to move, she felt like her body wasn't obeying her, like it had turned all heavy and sluggish. ''I suddenly feel dizzy...'' Her breathing was heavier, she allowed Sumi to shift her position and prop up her head against the pillow however she wanted. ''Aah.'' How could this have happened, how did she suddenly become so sick? Had it been building up inside her? Where did she get it from? Was she going to transmit it to Sumi? Hopefully not, she would feel terrible if she became sick because of her. ''I'm not sure- we can try calling them.. Emilia usually answers her phone.'' She trailed off, blinking her eyes when she suddenly spoke up again. ''Oh, I almost forgot. In my jacket pocket.'' She looked up at Sumi, ''on the right side.'' if she looked, Sumi would find a small giftwrapped box that fit in the palm of her hand. ''It's for you, I wanted to give it to you earlier but I forgot.''

The contents of the box revealed an origami lotus flower, it was a little rough around the edges, clearly handmade by Freja who was still learning and honing her craft. ''I picked up a new hobby. Do you like it?''

[attr="class,"memoryDarkbody"]Luckily for Sumi she had briefly met all of Freja's roommates one day while on campus. An impromptu lunch was a good chance to get to know her roommates who Freja had admitted they were more like her closest friends at this point. Their time together went swimmingly and by the end Sumi had collected their phone numbers for future hangouts, in fact they were supposed to all hang out around Halloween on campus! Would be a lot of fun to see Freja in her element.

"I'll give Emi a call." she'd dial the number "Hi Emi it's Sumi! I have Freja over at my place..no no everything is okay she's been a wonderful guest as always. Yes, she's sick so I don't think she'll make it back to the dorm. It's okay! I'm not doctor but I can take care of her. Okay, thanks bye!" she'd click the end call button before Freja would point out her pocket.
[break][break]
"A gift?" it was unexpected to say the least. She'd reach into the pocket and take it out, opening it to reveal the beautiful origami flower inside "Oh Freja, I love it! You've got a real talent!" she would have hugged her but she didn't want to cause any discomfort "I'll cherish it, but for now you're not going anywhere. Let me get you a change of clothes and something to drink. Tea, okay? Dr. Sumi is on call!" she'd pat her gently before standing up and heading to the kitchen.

[Freja Helt]

She closed her eyes as Sumi called up Emilia. She tried to just focus on taking slow, deep breaths, but was puzzled at what she overheard Sumi say. Take care of her? Wouldn’t it be easier for Sumi to send her home? Call her a taxi or something? At this rate she was going to overstay her welcome. It was part of why she had pointed out her gift in the way that she did, because she figured she would be going back to the dorms soon.

“Really?” She smiled looking up at Sumi. She couldn’t tell if she was blushing or not, but knowing her friend liked the gift was more than enough for her. “I’m glad..” she giggled weakly, followed by coughing into her own sleeve. “A-Are you sure? I’m gonna get you sick too at this rate.” She clearly felt bad, but she also wasn’t about to say no to Sumi’s help, she merely wanted to offer her a way out. Someone like her was so endlessly kindhearted, maybe that was part of what she really liked about Sumi? But she also knew others could take advantage of it, and she didn’t want to come across as one of those. “Tea sounds nice.” All she wanted was a genuinely good, balanced friendship.

Right?

“Thank you, Doctor.” She turned her head so that she was laying on the side, soon her whole body followed suit. She thought back to her talk with Farrin as she looked at her own hand. The rest of her life with Sumi… It sounded too good to be true. Still, she could always dream about it for a bit, just until she was ready to make her decision and tell Sumi her feelings, or give up on the idea entirely. She imagined the couch as a bed. What would it be like to wake up next to her? Freja could only picture how peaceful Sumi must look while sleeping, something which made her giggle quietly to herself.

[attr="class,"memoryDarkbody"]Smiling back at her friend from the kitchenette, she'd waved her hand dismissively at Frejas objections "No no, believe me I'm not gonna get sick." she'd tap her chest with her index finger "Pretty early on my parents did some testing on me, not in an unethical way, this was of my own free will. Apparently because of how my quirk works my body is pretty inhospitable to airborne illness." with the tea in hand she'd place it on the coffee table "Smoke kills bacteria."
[break][break]
Moving into her bedroom she'd grab a shirt and pajama bottoms that were a little bigger than she needed as Freja was a bit taller than her. She pondered the idea of giving her something more feminine, but given everything she was going through she opted to keep it simple. "Here, you can change whenever you're ready." taking a seat on the opposite end of the couch she'd get herself comfortable. There wasn't much else she could do besides letting Freja rest and making sure she had tons of fluids. "Anything you'd like to watch? In fact, what is your usual routine before bed? We can just do that to make you feel like you're at home." her couch was comfortable that was for sure, definitely more than a dorm bed but she still wanted to offer the opportunity "and if the couch is too uncomfortable when you get too sleepy you can crash with me, don't worry I don't bite and I have a California King! We could fit all your roommates in the same bed if needed" she'd extend her hands to gesture how large the bed was in case Freja had never seen one before. It was more the double the size of the dorm beds.

''Really? That sounds convenient. Your quirk is like one big lifehack.'' She looked at the tea as it was placed on the table, but she didn't reach for it yet. She would rather let it cool for a couple of minutes before taking her first sip to decrease the likelihood of burning her tongue. ''Thanks.'' She smiled, the shirt and pajamas bottoms were soft, felt cozy already. ''Um..'' She could feel her face turning red, not from the illness, but embarrassment. ''Where's your bathroom? I-I mean I'll go change there.'' She didn't want to make it weird, and here she was making it weird. The truth was despite living in a dorm with other women, Freja never really changed in front of them. In general she always felt off around people changing clothes, even in a locker room where she would be changing clothes herself. She couldn't really explain it, but she felt like a creep, like she was secretly taking glances at others even when she deliberately wasn't and did her best to avoid that sort of stuff.

Whether she ended up changing in Sumi's bathroom or then and there, Freja would eventually find herself in the much more relaxing fit of clothing. Leave it to Sumi to know what is comfortable to wear and have that on hand at all times. It was really nice of her to look after her like this, preparing tea for her, giving her a set of clothes to borrow... It was almost enough to make her tear up, but she didn't want to push that on Sumi too, not after she came up here with so many problems already. ''My usual routine? I probably watch anime.'' She blew on the tea a couple of times before taking a long sip. ''Nerdy, I know.'' She added with a chuckle.

What Sumi said next almost made her choke on her tea, ''C-California King?!'' Sharing the same bed as Sumi?? Could she really? Wouldn't the more considerate move be to just take the couch? ''That big? There's no way!'' Sumi's gestures only served to make her more curious. ''That's a lot of people in one bed..'' She held the cup up to her lips. Hopefully her sickness was doing a good job of hiding how red her face was. ''So, um, what is your usual bedtime routine? I heard watching stuff before bed isn't good for you, but I'm too used to it by now.''
