Cats are Like That
A/N: Hey guys! This is just a fun, short, three or four part series that I'm writing for My Hero Academia. I'll be updating it once a week, if I can, so I hope you all enjoy!
I.
Toshinori was positive that Shota Aizawa was a cat. Not an actual cat, a metaphorical cat. Or perhaps even a cat in human form. He was quiet and reserved, introverted, and solitary. Cats were like that. The way he curled up in his sleeping bag reminded the blonde of how a cat curls up on the couch, or at the end of bed, or in general small spaces. Cats were like that. He was moody too. Cats were like that.
Another thing that had led Toshinori to this conclusion was Aizawa's behavior at lunchtime. Unless there was a very important meeting…not just a meeting…no, it had to be a VERY important meeting or something else his presence was required for, he found him sneaking short afternoon naps on the couch in the teacher's lounge. He slept either in his yellow cocoon or curled up in a ball, with his back to the world and his long, dark hair fanned out about his shoulders and back.
When they sat side by side on the sofa, Shota sometimes curled his knees up into his chest like he was sitting in some sort of cardboard box. Cats sat in cardboard boxes. There was also the fact that the neighborhood cats always flocked to him. We were drawn to others like ourselves, so maybe the cats flocked to him because he was a cat too. Or maybe it was because Shota always carried catnip in his pocket. The same substance that he himself was addicted too. He put it in his tea, his soups, had the scent of it in his house and his office, and seemed to get some sort of "high" off it. He didn't get "stoned" like most normal cats did, but he seemed…happier when he had some form of catnip with him. Cats were like that. He also drank juice pouches as much as cats drank milk.
The next evidence that Toshinori had was Aizawa's general fluffiness. His hair was always unkempt and never brushed, and his facial hair and scarf also added to that. Cats were fluffy too. Lastly, cats were cute. And so was Shota.
However, all these conclusions were drawn from observation. Being the ambitious person that he was, Toshinori was determined to get some hardcore evidence and was determined to test how cat-like Shota was. So, he decided to conduct an experiment for a few days.
