I hope you guys are doing alright in quarantine! What skills have you learned/practiced during this time?

This is a bit rushed, I'm sorry about that...

Shouji Mezou finally had time for himself. The last week had been pretty busy, what with the school festival and all, but it was all over and Shouji could relax.

He used his many arms to quickly tidy his room - no sense in leaving it, he'd have to do it eventually. When that was done, Shouji picked up a couple sets of knitting needles and went to work.

Click click click click, knit and purl and knit-

"Shouji-san?"

Shouji paused. "Aizawa-kun? What are you doing awake?"

"M' name's Izuku." Izuku muttered. "Can't sleep. What're you doing?"

"Does Aizawa-sensei know where you are, Ai- Izuku-kun?"

"Otou-san is gone with ojisan and obasan." Izuku reached up to touch Shouji's knitting work. "What is it?"

"It's knitting." Shouji said.

"Cool!" Izuku smiled. "I bet you can make a lot of knitting with your hands."

"Yes." Shouji set down his projects and tried to steer Izuku out of the room. "Let's take you back to your room, okay?"

"I wanna make a knitting!" Izuku said loudly.

"Shh! You'll wake up Kirishima-san and Bakugou-san." Shouji hushed Izuku. "And it's knit."

"Oh," Izuku said, quieter. "I wanna make a knit, please!"

Shouji sighed. There was no way he was going to get Izuku to go to sleep like this. "...Fine. Come on."

He grabbed a pair of large needles and some thick rainbow-colored yarn and started casting on. He did the next few rows, then slowly showed Izuku how to do the knit-stitch. After supervising Izuku's first few tries, he let Izuku do his own thing.

"Shouji-san, I got to the end! Now what?"

"Turn it over and do the same thing."

"Okayyyy!"

A few more minutes passed before:

"Uh oh."

Immediately, Shouji looked at Izuku. Izuku was poking at a swiftly unravelling part of the project. Shouji reached over. "Here, let me fix that for you."

Shouji deftly fixed the mistake, explaining it to the bean sprout. "You just dropped one of the loops. Don't worry, it's usually fixable."

"Thank you, Shouji…" Izuku took the project back, stifling a yawn. Soon enough, he was asleep.

Shouji retrieved the project (the needles were dangerously close to Izuku's eyes) and scooped the young kiddo up in his arms.

A few more nights of Aizawa being gone and Izuku had made a rainbow scarf, which he wore constantly.

Mini-Aizawa had returned.

Apparently Shouji is the youngest in canon Class 1-A, which is really fun to me for some reason.

See you guys next week! Appreciate you all! ~BP
