Hitoshi scratches the back of his head, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion as he tries to do his math homework. He was back home, in his secret place. It was where he, Himari, and Hayate slept most of the time. It was a small, abandoned apartment next to theirs that was walled up 20 or so years ago. The only way to get to it was from the fire escape. Hitoshi spent most of the money he manages to make trying to make the apartment somewhat liveable. It's getting better, but it's no where near what Hitoshi hopes where it was.
"HITOMI, YOU SHIT! WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?!" Mihoko screeches, her speech muffled by the wall. Hitoshi flinches heavily at the sound of glass breaking. He turns his head and makes sure Himari and Hayate were still asleep. Hitoshi sighs in relief, glad that his younger siblings were heavy sleepers. Hitoshi turns back to his homework and tries to ignore the screeching of his drunk mother.
Hitoshi, along with Class 1-A, and Aizawa, were given 3 days off. It was originally a week, but Class 1-A never liked being behind and Aizawa just wanted things to go back to normal, though he did love the extra sleep he got. Nezu also rewarded Hitoshi for helping by transferring him to Class 1-A. He danced in victory when he got home.
Hitoshi jumps slightly in surprise when his phone rings. It wasn't anything special. Just one of Mihoko's old smartphones he stole, knowing she wouldn't notice. He had an... Online friend that helped him make the phone free of any bill or charge.
"Hello?" Hitoshi asks quietly, making sure he didn't wake his siblings or alert his mother.
"Hello, this is Uozumi Naohiko. I am the Principal at Shinko Elementary School. Are you... Shinsou Hitoshi?" A male voice asks, making Hitoshi tilt his head in slight confusion. Why was the principal calling him? Well, he is the emergency contact in Himari's and Hayate's file, but they were here with them.
"Yeah. Do you need something Uozumi-san?" Hitoshi asks as he focuses back on his homework.
"Yesterday, Shinko Elementary School was heavily damaged from a hero fight. School will be cancelled for a week while we do repairs. I sincerely apologise for the inconvenience. Have a nice day," The elementary principal states before hanging up rudely.
Hitoshi groans slightly in annoyance as he tosses his phone back down and runs a hand through his hair. Great. Where the hell is Himari and Hayate supposed to go while he's at school? Hitoshi lifts his head slightly when he feels someone wrap their arms around his torso. Hitoshi smiles softly as he turns around to see a sleepy yet confused Hayate hugging him.
"What's wrong?" Hayate signs after he breaks his hug. Hitoshi sighs in annoyance as he raises his hands. Hayate had become deaf after being sick when he was only 4 months old. Himari was a selective mute ever since she was 1 and a half.
"Your school called. They've cancelled school because the school was damaged in a hero fight. You and Hima-chan won't have school for a week," Hitoshi explains while signing at the same time. Hayate pouts while furrowing his eyebrows. Hayate and Himari loved their school, and loved learning. They wanted to be heroes.
"Where will we go?" Hayate signs in slight fear. He didn't want to stay home with their mother. Hitoshi sighs in defeat as he kisses Hayate's forehead.
"I don't know. I'll figure something out, but you both might have to stay home for a couple of days. I don't like it either," Hitoshi states while signing. Hayate just looks down, making Hitoshi sigh in defeat. He really didn't want to leave his siblings here, alone, but he couldn't bring them with him to school. That'll bee way too suspicious.

Hitoshi sighs in exhaustion as he shumbles into the school. God, he was dead tired. Hitoshi spent up all night trying to think of any way he could get his siblings out of the house while he was at school. All of his ideas cost money and he didn't have that. Then, when he went back into the family apartment to get the lunch he saved for Himari and Hayate, Mihoko came in and beat him to almost unconscious. She was too drunk to care where she hit, so Hitoshi now has a black eye covered with concealer and a very bad busted lip. The busted lip was sure to scar.
"Hitoshi-kun! Wait up!" Izuku's voice echoes through the empty hallway. Hitoshi straightens up slightly as he stops walking, waiting for Izuku to catch up. The green haired boy smiles brightly up at the indigo purple haired boy, making the sleep deprived boy blush slightly. Izuku's smile falters when he notices Hitoshi's busted lip. They both start walking to their classroom.
"What happened?" Izuku asks in worry, making Hitoshi smile slightly, happy that someone other than his siblings was concerned for his wellbeing.
"My mother was helping me with my quirk, and had made me run into a tree," Hitoshi lies easily, making Izuku sigh in relief. Izuku's smile was back on his face, full force with stars in his eyes.
"I'm so happy that Nezu-Sensei let you transfer even without the test! Though, I wonder why he did that," Izuku states before he starts to trail off. Hitoshi interrupts his thoughts before the green haired boy got lost in his thoughts completely.
"I had explained what happened on my part. I had defeated these two ninja twins, and had managed to take out 23 villains with the five villains I had under my control to try and get rid of Aizawa-Sensei's load, somewhat. I had also managed to calm you down at the very beginning before you went into a panic attack," Hitoshi explains, making Izuku blush in embarrassment at the last part.
"Y-yeah. Sorry about that," Izuku says, making Hitoshi roll his eyes. So Izuku was the self-sacrificing, low self-esteem kind of teenager full of social anxieties.
"Don't apologise for me helping you out as a person should do. And besides, we didn't need any panicking at that particular moment," Hitoshi states in slight annoyance. He hated that people as selfless as Izuku thought so lowly of themselves when they were anything but that.
"S-sor-"
"Fine. No more apologies from here on out. You did nothing wrong," Hitoshi interrupts, making Izuku blush bright red from embarrassment. He was about to apologise again but clothes his mouth before he could utter a word.
"Th-this is our... Uh class," Izuku stutters out in embarrassment as he stops in front of a large door with 1-A written in big red letters on the door. Hitoshi rolls his eyes at how big the door was. Why the hell was the door so big? Was the school compensating for something?
Hitoshi let's Izuku go in first before following right after. Hitoshi blinks in surprise at how loud it was. He barely manages to hide a flinch as everyone quietens to stare at Hitoshi. Hitoshi gives a small smile as he fidgets with the pocket knife in his pocket. God, he hated it when people stared at him for so long. It reminded him of Mihoko's dealers when they came over. They always stared at him like a piece of meat. The class didn't do that, but Hitoshi still hated it.
"Hey. It's nice to see you guys again," Hitoshi states while raising his free hand in a small wave. After a moment of awkward silence, the class erupted in noise as they bombarded Hitoshi with questions and congratulations for being transferred. Hitoshi couldn't help but smile a little bit brighter. The class was cool. Way better than Class 1-C. No wonder Midnight loved this class. It was orderly chaos. Himari would love to meet them.

Hey! Hope you like the new chapter! It's sort of like a filler I guess. Things are going to get a bit crazier in the next chapters. Well, that's what I plan anyway.
Remember! I need help figuring out Hitoshi's hero name and who he should be with! It needs to be a guy, but I can accept a girl and make Hitoshi go through confusion to the highest level as he questions if he is actually gay.
The picture above is what Hayate and Himari look like! I couldn't find ANY pictures of 3 year old fraternal twins with lilac purple hair, so the pictures are just a reference, I guess. Just picture them like that, but younger with chubbier cheeks and brighter eyes of innocent curiosity.
Hope you like the story so far! Bai!
