"Hey purple!"
Hitoshi try not bang his head on the table at that nickname Kuma gave him. Ever since they became friends, he always called him that on acount of his hair "Looking like a wild purple bush". thought he try not to complain, as it stood Kuma and his brother were probably the only two people besides his mom that saw as anything other than a villain(something he was eternally thankful for.), though it was a slightly weird relationship they had as Hitoshi and Koji usually didn't speak that much in it. Koji because he was always shy with everyone that wasn't his brother and would use a board and marker to communicate with others. And Hitoshi because he used to be afraid of his quirk accidentally activating on someone if he speak to them.
Over years with the brothers, Hitoshi had found out alot on their likes and fears. He knew Koji had a great fear of bugs, which was kinda ironic as his quirk was made for animals and that he had a love for animals. He knew he was also a vegetarian and that he had a great amount of love and respect for his brother(even giving him a nickname as well as "Teddyfluffy"). As well as his favorite hero cementoss.
For Kuma, he knew that kuma ate meat, well not a lot but on occasion, he loved animals, except for anything with six legs as he found it to be creepy. Kuma had a fear of heights as he never go on anything higher that 6ft. He also knew and at signed at his incredibly love for the hero Gang orca. That thought made him smile when he remember the time at twins turning 8 that their parents had taken then to an aquarium( Hitoshi came along because he was inverted by Koji thought a whisper in Kuma's ear? place where there should be an ear? who told he could come if he wanted.) Both boys were excited at the various sea animals they saw, but when kuma saw that Gang orca was there too, well, to be fair to say he had a HUGE fanboy moment.
"And I still never know how they got him off his leg."
Turning to the brothers he saw Kuma coming to sit by for lunch with Koji not to far behind. To Hitoshi, the years had been kind to the brothers as they had by grew in size with Koji being a 2inchs taller. Thought Kuma had a little more bulk and muscle to him, he at least didn't look like a zombie version of Koji as his skin had gotten lighter over the years to where it was a smudged darker that Koji's. If you didn't pay attention to the shades of their skin, then the way to tell them apart was by their eyes and their behavior/personality. And maybe the sense of style they wore their clothes. Kuma liked to wear dark and red or black comfy clothes to jackets or sweatpants and Koji prefer to wear sweaters with and shirts with animals on them and simple pants.
Hitoshi turn the to black,white ,pin-points eyes to speak to him." What have said about calling me that."
Kuma had decently looked down for a second before answering." To never call you purple unless I want to be mind control in to doing something embarrassing." Looking to the side he mutter." Still a good nickname though."
Hitoshi tried not to laugh at the pouting beak of his friend as Koji choose to change the topic, if it even was a topic to begin with.
Writing on his board, he turned it around to show them."So what high school are you applying to Hitoshi? We were thinking of UA."
Hitoshi signed at that and rub his neck. UA the most if the best hero school in the world where not everybody makes it there. And even if you do your not always granted a spot in the hero course. Hitoshi himself had been thinking of going to attend their as well and if by some miracle make it in to the hero course. Because while having the two as friends is a good and all, their where still those kids though the years that saw is quirk as evil or something to misused at an given moment. So it was a resolve that he make it into UA and become a hero with this quirk for good.
"Oh, the same, hopeful a hero course if I can." He said in reply to Koji as he looked at Kuma, who was stuffing food in mouth. Kuma had once told him that relayed to much on his quirk when they got to middle school, and had decided that if wanted to be heroes in the future they would need to train to be strong enough to take on anything. that was a moment that Koji and him found out how much of a tyrant Kuma could be as his idea of training had meant waking up early to go jogging before heading to school(Them just trying to stay wake thorough out the day) to heading to a gym to work on muscle training. If they had try, and they did try, to say that it was to a little to much at the time, Kuma would say "Do think a villain won't attack at night if you want to sleep?!" or "If we want to be good heroes like All might or eraserhead , then we need to keep in shape!?". Heck he even decided to organize eating in it as well as sleeping.
Hitoshi felt like he was going die doing that, but knowing Kuma he wouldn't let him die if he could help it. Thought, and he would never tell Kuma this, the "work of torture " or WOT as they called it did help him build up muscle, and "Combat play" helped him if he needed to fight with his quirk, so he couldn't complain much.
Kuma looked up after he finished eating(how finished in 5 to 4mins is still unknown.) and said "Really well hope to see you in hero course then when you make it." with a smile on his face as Koji gave him a thumbs up.
Yep, they had a slightly weird relationship. but somehow it worked if for better or for worst, he might say worst but that's only because he has to deal with the two on a daily basis as they have to deal with him as well.
Looking up at the sky he let a thought pass in his head.
"And I hope you make as well."
