#Cementoss should be allowed to loose his shit with all the stress he deals with

[palettepainter]

Thinking of angry Cementoss. He should be allowed to loose his cool, thinking about him and Chikara bumping heads pre dating when the feelings are starting to grow stronger, but Chikara is too shy to talk about it and Cementoss simply doesn't know how to.

Thinking about Higari's siblings coming down to visit sometime after the Training Camp arc to make sure he's okay, Cementoss telling Chikara in particular to be careful when she's out and about because anyone close to UA staff members could now be a potential target for villains, Chikara (having not been in an actual villain related event before) tells Cementoss he's worrying too much and that she'll be fine. Chikara noticing how Cementoss is seemingly especially focused on her, always sending her glances when she comes back from somewhere, or offering to go along with her if she has errands to run, and before she knows it he's hovering around her near constantly

Chikara confronting him about it later that day, feeling embarrassed at all the fussing, telling Cementoss he can't put all his focus on one person's safety, saying he's playing favourites, blah blah argument starts. Cementoss remains calm yet stern but that only makes Chikara more annoyed that he's handling the situation, in her eyes, nonchalantly

Chikara storming out and going on a walk to clear her head, then the final battle between All Might and AFO happens. Chikara isn't directly near Kamino Ward when it happens, but she's in the nearby area, and the destruction of the fight reaches her. She manages to get off lucky, surviving mostly unscathed, but her leg is trapped under some rubble

She tries to stay calm, and after maybe thirty minutes heroes begin to sweep the area, Cementoss is the one who finds her.

Angry Cementoss, like really angry but also so incredibly worried Cementoss, being the silent type. Him just standing there eerily quite while Chikara tries to defend her own situation, because she KNOWS she's in it because she was the one who stormed out and didn't listen to his advice of being careful. Cementoss only speaking in small sentences, only a few words, as he addresses Chikara's trapped leg

He still ignores Chikara as she tries to say it's not that bad (it is), Cementoss saying she won't be able to walk on it and say's he'll carry her to a nearby medical station. Chikara profusely tries to deny him- and then Cementoss turns to her and reiterates again, she can't walk

Days after the event (and after Higari gave her a very thorough scolding for running off and driving him sick with worry-) Chikara is discharged from hospital and is recovering at UA for further safety reasons, she can walk on her leg for short distances but she's advised to not strain herself. Cementoss one day finally going to visit her and he finds Chikara trying to do something she shouldn't be for a reason not good enough - maybe tryna walk down a small flight of stairs - and he proceeds to give her the look, again

Them not really knowing what to say so they're both to the point and quite with each other

Eventually one breaks the ice though and they talk, and it ends with Cementoss convincing Chikara to rest. Much later Higari pops his head in to check on his sis and finds Chikara snoring in the bed, and Cementoss asleep in the nearby arm chair

I am driving myself a little nuts with their dynamic
