To Be A Hero: A Mha Fanfic - Volume 1 Chapter 27

“87.. 88… 89… 90… ”

Currently Shino was in her backyard doing some standard push ups. She had been training very hard over the past two weeks in anticipation of the sports festival. She also helped most of her classmates train. She was very versitile and seemed capable of sparing with anyone. Her backyard was also very big and she had training equipment of various forms. She helped everyone as much as she could. She lent Ren some of her comics so she could find something useful to draw. Akio came to her to train with his various weapons. He was aware of Shino’s skill in weaponry as well as Momo’s. The two helped him as best they could. Daichi’s training consisted of Shino throwing his keychains as far as she could. He would teleport to the airborne keychain and back to the one on the ground as fast and as long as possible. He had reached his limit multiple times, but pushed through. Shino encouraged him to “mark”more keychains and suggested he used it properly durning fights. Izuku, Sora and Katsuki were at her house on the daily. They would spar together and Shino asked herself and them why they don’t just train at each others houses.

Shino continued her pushups determined to reach 150. She had reached it before and was working towards it with some extra weight. The extra weight was in the form of arm and legwarmers that contained weights. A little Lee training. On top of that she had Momo sitting on her back, casually going through her Yaoyotab.

“123… 124… 125… 126… 127… ”

The pushups continued. Shino’s training consisted of her maxing out her webbing and pushing forward from there. It hurt. It really did. She was forcing her worn out spinnerets to produce webs a lot faster. It was painful, but she pushed on. She also trained her booster quirk. She pushed over the thirty minute limit. She wanted to reach an hour. The day she did that she could hardly move a muscle. She was bedridden for two days. She worked on some other quirks as well. But mainly focused on those two.

“What are we doing after this? “Momo suddenly asked.

“Taking a break… 139… 140… ”

“Good. I was starting to think you’d never take a rest. You’ve been training all morning ”

Shino chuckled and did her last push up. Momo climbed off her and she stood up with a well deserved stretch.

“I know”

Shino had her arms above her head in a long stretch. She was currently dressed in a sports bra and sweat pants. Her toned stomach was in clear display and Momo had to avert her eyes. Shino has a very lean body, something she was proud of. Her muscles weren’t noticeable in her uniform or practically anything else. It is only when she is dressed in something tight or walking around shirtless that you see the muscles in her arms and her tones stomach. As for her legs, well they were well defined and toned. Shino was an obvious tomboy and therefore always dressed in loose clothing. Because of this everyone failed to notice her hourglass figure and impressive b.r.e.a.s.t. They weren’t as big as those of Momo’s, but they were not small either. Just the right size as she always said.

Shino was the definition if an athletic female. She had amazing body that she hardly displayed. The only people to get a look at it were her family and close friends.

Despite herself Momo couldn’t help but admire the the well toned abs Shino endowed.

“Momo, you’re staring” Shino teased once she caught her friend looking. She instantly looked away a pool of red flourishing on her cheeks.

“That’s ok I know I’m hot” Shino bragged and laughed.

“That’s not very funny”

“I found it very funny and that’s all that matters” Shino shrugged as she made her way towards her house. “I gotta take a quick shower”

And Shino did. She was in and out her bathroom within seven minutes. She was refreshed and dressed in black pants and a red hoodie. Her hair was left loose at the moment. She slid down her stairs and practically flew into the sofa startling Momo.

“What are you watching? “She asked as she positioned herself next to Momo. She had brought down some chocolate with her and offered Momo some.

“I don’t really know. It’s just some movie I stumbled upon”

Shino stared at the television for some time. She paid close attention to the movie before deciding what type it was.

“It’s a romance” She concluded. “I bet everything the girl is going to realize that her best friend is the one for her in the end”

“You don’t know that” Momo argued.

“Yes I do. That’s how romance movies work. Well most of them. Girl sees a hot guy. Girl likes the guy and thinks he’s the most perfect being on the planet. Girl dates guy and finds out he’s not the one for her. Maybe he’s a jerk that doesn’t care about her dreams and stuff. Girl goes crying to her male best friend who tells her she deserves better and things around those lines. Girl finally realizes that her best friend loved her all along and suddenly she loves him too. The end”

Momo didn’t say anything. Shino had a point. That is how most romance stories go. It’s disappointing really. Romance movies are always predictable. A reason Shino never really liked them. It’s so cheesy. The realization that the love of your life was right under your nose the whole time. How do you not know who you love? Maybe it’s because people don’t spend half their nights writing down their thoughts and emotion.

That’s definitely it.

Shino is very aware of her emotions almost all the time. She’s never really confused when it comes to her emotions.

The two watched the movie in silence. At some point Shino had fallen into Momo’s lap, having lost interest in staying seated. The movie was reaching its climax. The girl finally saw her dream guy for who he was and realized how blinded she had been.

Love is blind. So is admiration actually.

“You see Momo, the dream guy is not the dream guy”

“Well yes, you got that part right but that doesn’t mean she’ll find love in her best friend. ”

“Still being hopeful I see”

The girl was devastated. She needed to talk someone. Of course she calls her best friend. The best friend who is obviously head over heels for the girl does his best to comfort her.

“You deserve better”

Those were the exact words the friend said and victorious grin spread across Shino’s face.

“What did I tell ya! The exact same line and everything ”

“That doesn’t mean they’ll end up together ”

“That’s exactly what it means! ”

The movie pressed on. The main character was thinking back to all the times her guy best friend had been there for her. How he always encouraged her. Comforted her. Cheered her on. Through the ups and downs he was always by her side.

And suddenly like a ton of bricks she realized how much her friend meant to her. He was was right there the entire time. The one that loved her more than anything.

And she loved him too.

“Ha! “Shino exclaimed in victory once the two friends finally kissed. “What did I tell you? I knew she would end up with the best friend”

Momo sighed disappointed about the ending of the movie. “I guess you were right”

“Of course I was. Romance movies are almost always the same. It’s why I don’t really like them”

“I don’t think they’re that bad. It’s really sweet watching two people fall in love”

“Despite all the cliches? ”

“Yes despite it all” Momo was defiant.” There has to be at least one cliche you like about romance movies”

Shino thought about it for a while. Was there a cliche she liked?

“Well the bad boy falls in love with the good girl or other way around is not so boring to watch. I also kinda like those scenes where they kiss in the rain, it’s probably the king of cliche but I love it”

Momo giggled. “See, not that bad”

“Imagine if our life was like a romance movie” Shino chuckled amused.

“What role would you want to play? ” Momo asked curious

“The best friend” Shino didn’t even need to think about it.

“Why? It seems the best friend is the one that goes through the most pain. They have to sit back and watch the love of their life be with someone else” Momo didn’t understand why Shino would want such a role. She would be causing herself a lot of pain.

“Where there is love there is pain. One is not without the other. That’s just how it is” Shino shrugged. “Besides, what’s the point of love with no pain? ”

“You’re very serious right now aren’t you? ”

“Very”

“Who would be the main character? ”

At that Shino pulled a sly smile. “Oh I don’t know”

“That smile on your face tells me you do know”

The television was completely forgotten at that point. Momo was leaning over the smiling Shino trying to gauge an answer out of her. She really wanted to know the answer to the question.

It would reveal some of Shino’s feelings to her.

“That I will not tell you” Shino chuckled, but there was some seriousness in her voice. “At least not now anyways ”
