Nick felt a frown fall across his face when she suddenly lurched. It did not make sense: she had been smiling a mere second ago, but now she was the polar opposite, tense, almost as though on edge even. Why the sudden change? He felt his heartbeat speed up. If she betrayed him now...
Nicholas. The sound of his full name struck him like a shard of the sharpest, coldest ice through the entirety of his body. No one called him Nicholas except for his dear Mother. The reminder of this left him paralysed for a moment. Mother was the absolute last person he wanted to think about. In fact, thinking about her made him feel nauseous…
His grip on Rowan tightened all the more.
Why would she call me Nick one minute and Nicholas the next? She never did that before.
It did not make sense. Something about it was simply off. That, and her response confused and irritated him.
“What do you mean I wouldn’t understand?” he said. “What are you talking about? What issues are there?” No, no, this was all wrong. He had hoped for so much more from her. The disappointment he felt was crushing.

 | ◀ | The heart is a heavy burden ❤ She knew it was not going very well but it only made it funnier. "Nick, it is just a very strange thing to say." She smiled at him softly, just the fact that he would be the first to know. She bit her lip softly, she had noticed the difference between how he reacted to Rowan and to her. "So can you keep a secret from me?" She asked softly the same way he had asked her just before he told her that he was Nick. It was very amusing to see how he was disappointed. She felt how he still held on to her even a bit too harsh perhaps, but the Burning Lady did not complain.
She waited for his reaction if he could keep a secret. It was a strange thing to consider. She did not even know exactly how long she existed anymore, it was the point that she was a quirk, she was the power Rowan had, she was the anger that was made due to those quirkless that thought that punishing a child who just learned to control her quirk was a good thing. What pain did you have from a slightly burned hand what did it matter?
She felt so angry considering Semper Fi, what they did to her, how they humiliated her, a burning Lady with the subjects they got. She felt like she would explode at any point but she would have no time for that right now. "Rowan is but a baby compared to me." She said softly, it made it only more fun. "You are dealing with two people who look the same, share the same body but are not the same." How to say politely that you are insane but yet are not insane. "I personally do agree, none quirkers are shit, there are no other words for it, you spoke to me last time, Rowan doesn't know that."
She sighed and crossed her arms under her chest and pouted at Nick as if she was so innocent. "I bet you want to run away from her now, you can. I mean I don't plan to do anything about it, it would just be a shame. I do agree with you though, Rowan would not dare, she is blind for the problems in the world, she was kept in her house to not be let outside, she was a problem, only because she has a quirk that explodes." What would he do or say next? It was such a shame to see him go, if he did. |

Whatever Nick had expected her to reply with, it had not quite been this. He stared. He blinked. His mouth hung open ever so slightly.
...Huh.
Rowan had a split personality. He could add that to the increasingly long list of Things He Did Not See Coming For Even A Second. And her split personality was the one more in line with his ideals, it seemed. The one who remembered their prior conversation.
“I see,” he said. It took a moment or two before he could formulate what to say next; “And do you have a name of your own I can call you, then?”
He half-wondered if Rowan was just pulling a practical joke on him and was about to shout “psyche! I got you!” or something to that effect, but it would explain the sudden rapid change in her demenour and the fact she had suddenly called him Nicholas.
Christ. Yuuei just can’t recruit normal students, apparently.
(He was oblivious to the irony of this thought).
The day had suddenly become a hell of a lot stranger for him, and yet he was now even more intrigued by the girl he still held tightly onto in front of him, if she was being honest about having another personality and not making a joke.

| ◀ | The heart is a heavy burden ❤ "You look very cute like that." Really he did when he was not able to answer and she giggled, that more sounded like Rowan than she wanted to but The Burning Lady did not stop about this whole idea, her golden eyes were colder than those of Rowan and she stared at him. He was cute, at least that was a plus. It calmed her a little to see how he reacted, it was better than laughing it off or calling her insane and stomping off or anything along those lines.
She raised her eyebrows in surprise when he asked her for a name. "A name?" How was that so strange, it felt strange. "I never considered one, I normally am not the one to talk." She eyed him because yes, that was true, why was he actually that interesting that she spoke. Interesting indeed, there was nothing else interesting in that manor it was fun to just smash things, explode things rather and go on but right now, she dared to talk. Still no idea how she had made that but it made her light in her head and nauseous, probably just a Rowan reaction. Princess Drama. "She calls me the Burning Lady." Was all she said, she had no name, she was Rowan, but Rowan gave her a title, that was all. The one that did it, not Rowan her fault, that's how she had been able to deal with it, every little piece that was against her quirk was shoved onto her. "She hated her quirk because of the quirkless, here I am."
She shrugged, it was still perhaps something strange to say or understand, she would just look at him and see what he would do. "That thing is ridiculous, can't you take it off." She did not want to pout, it was an immediate Rowan reaction but to have a proper discussion with someone in a dragon onesie was not funny to her. |

The dragon hood must have failed to hide the dumbstruck look on his face if her telling him he looked cute ‘like that’ was anything to go by. He hurriedly tried to compose himself again and ended up glancing off the other way, cheeks tinged red from both embarrassment and the compliment, the likes of which he was honestly not used to hearing much given how pitifully little social interaction he had ever had before. “Well, I’m glad to hear you think so.”
He genuinely was. It was the kind of compliment he could get used to hearing, especially from girls.
I wish I could hear it from Rin.
His insides tightened at that sudden agonising thought. He tried to push it away before he thought on it any further, but the pain was already there and settling. He let out a quiet but long and weary sigh.
Well, at least I can hear it from Rowan. Or whoever she apparently is right now.
If she was lying, she was carrying on doing so far longer than he felt she had to, which made him realise that perhaps she was telling the truth about her other personality.
“The Burning Lady?” he repeated. “That’s quite the dramatic name she chose for you there.” His fists clenched at her mention of Rowan being mistreated by the Quirkless. “Tch. The Quirkless are truly the scum of this world. You really ought to think about what I said before, you know, if Rowan can’t. We are the ones with the power, not them. We should be ruling over them.”
His dramatic moment was promptly ruined by her reminding him that he was still wearing his stupid dragon costume that he hated oh so very much. He self-consciously ran a hand down it.
“It is a bit,” he admitted defeatedly. “I’m not sure I can take it off here in front of so many onlookers, though. But it’d be nice if you took your costume off.” His last words were out before he knew he was saying them and he promptly froze up within his costume.
Shit, what the hell did I just say?

| ◀ | The heart is a heavy burden ❤ It was, unfortunately, difficult to tell his reaction thanks to the dragon costume, the fact was that it was easy to see his surprise and that did look cute but she could not see if he would blush right now. The whole conversation was going better than she had actually anticipated but they were not going anywhere, she was not surprised about that. How much would you know about a double persona, not many people knew how to act.
She simply stood, mostly on her left leg and stared at him with her head tilted to the right and stared at him. What was the sigh for? Was something going wrong, bad, she actually thought he would be happy that she was agreeing with him but perhaps he liked Rowan more. She said her name, or more like the title, she got from Rowan."It works very well if you create a burning touch," She answered with a wink before looking aside, this frilly dress was horrible, how could Rowan think of this as a great idea?
That's when she decided to tell why she got that name and Nick gave exactly the reaction she wanted, he seemed angry, very attractive, she imagined..., especially without that stupid suit! "Oh but I agree with you, the thing is, Rowan is not strong enough for that, she wants to be nice, me on the other hand. I don't give a shit, I want them gone, to fear and to praise me or well quirkers." Actually, only her but that did not work, "I agree with you, Nick."
She stared at him with an amusing smile, did he just ask her to strip off her clothing, the thing was why would he have a problem with onlookers? She motioned with her head, "if you are shy, there are allies." She tiptoed leaning into him, Rowan would care, she would not, "I don't think I can strip of this dress, nothing much underneath. I don't want to catch the sight of any onlookers." She teased him, clearly, she felt more mature now than she did as Rowan, strange how a persona made that difference, how in her case, anger did that. |

Nick felt a surge of delight upon hearing she agreed with him, a pleased but definitely sinister smile forming upon his face. Rowan was like him, but the Burning Lady was even more like him. She was the one who saw the world the way he did and the one who understood that the Quirkless were lesser beings who needed to be crushed under their feet.
Alas, his mind was so busy scrambling and reeling to think of how to correct his screw-up he almost missed how she responded to it. She did not show any anger; it seemed more like amusement. Amusement at his screwiness? His pride took a bit of a blow, there.
She’s flirting with me. But she couldn’t possibly want…
Then she moved closer to him, and his brain promptly shut off for a moment. It came back on a few seconds later with only one thing on it: this girl needed to be taught her place, clearly. Gripping her arms tighter than ever, he did his best to pull her deep into the nearest alley, at which point he would push his stupid hood back, pin her against the wall and kiss her as hard as possible.

| ◀ | The heart is a heavy burden ❤ Really how much more did a woman need to do to get him out of this stupid suit, it might be cute for a fourteen-year-old but damn it was enough now. Halloween surely made her grumpy or it was the frilly dress that did not fit the Burning Lady at all. She looked at him with a raised eyebrow as he did not seem to connect the dots at this point. Seriously where was his mind, they were having a conversation where she agreed with him about the pathetic theatrical play of the none-quirkers. Like what was their function in the world if they were not seen like ants that would carry their queen around, which was a job she would not mind applying for. She deserved their praise after what those stupid human beings had done. She was better than them and she would not mind burn that into people their ridiculous mind.
She looked at him surprised when he finally reacted when she flirted with him. But it was not exactly what she at first thought to be happening if he had been holding on to her very strongly, it was even worse now, sure there would be bruises, how to avoid those from Rowan... things could be worried about later. She had to take quick steps on her short heels to keep up with him dragging her away from public view. She wanted to complain but as they had spoken about alleys, she decided to wait for a few seconds and see.
"Hmpf," she only said when his lips crashed on hers, she had wanted to give him a snarky remark when he finally pushed away that hood but she could not speak and it took her a fraction of a second to realize what was happening and just kiss him back. Damn attractive that aggression to her. |
