Frustrations of a Fangirl: Chapter 5

In class the next day, everybody could practically touch the tension in the air. Despite it being a Friday – Aizawa's favourite day apart from Saturday – he was clearly extremely grumpy, constantly looking between both his little girl and the delinquent.

The previous night, people noticed their teacher leaving the dorms with an extremely angry look on his face, toffee apple in tow. Had he not seen Eri? Was she ill? Asleep? Apparently not, if his strictness in class meant anything.

"Alright, you're dismissed for the day. Pack up your things and enjoy the weekend." He paused, before raising his voice once again. "Izumi Kota. Would you please stay behind?"

Confused, Kota followed his teacher's orders, sitting down in his seat with his backpack on. He groaned.

"Ugh... what'd I do this time?"

Aizawa sneered and glared at him, his eyes red as his hair flared up.

"You tell me. Where were you last night?"

Kota raised a black eyebrow.

"My room, why...?" He could sense the suspicion of his teacher as he squinted and continued in a low voice.

"You hang out with Eri after class, correct? To..." he paused. "Peruse the latest hero news and watch TV? To play video games?"

Kota nodded nervously, though he wasn't sure why. He knew he'd done nothing wrong, so why did he feel so guilty of nothing?

"Y-yes, sir."

"Nothing else, Kota? Because my daughter has been acting oddly the last few days. With that god-forsaken day-dreamy look in her eyes. I know it all too well... surely you've noticed?"

Kota nodded. Though he was concerned, he looked past it as soon as he saw her back to normal after school.

"Is that your doing by any chance?"

Kota practically froze, a blush on his face. Though it was true that he had... relieved himself to the thought of his friend before, he had never considered the possibility that she liked him back.

"W-well... I'm not sure..."

"Tsk... not sure my ass..."

They both sat in silence for a few moments, processing their situations.

"When did you leave Eri's room?" If anything, he wanted to know when he left. This brat clearly wasn't going to spill the beans anytime soon.

"Ten past seven. Why?"

"As expected..." The sounds of his daughter moaning this brat's name echoed through his mind as he stood up and turned to his desk to grab his stuff.

"You're banned from seeing my daughter from now on until further notice. Now leave. No questions asked."

Kota's eyes widened, as he reached out before recoiling. He stood up and took off for the door, a puzzled glare present on his face.
