My Hero Academia: Yashiro The First Quirk
Ch.10- Class Big Brother
I was walking down the halls, Midoriya and the guys were all getting too into the festival, so I decided to take a walk. Not much to do, maybe I should have tried to change the subject. I sighed and looked forward and I saw Yagi carrying a stack of boxes. I raced over to him and took the stack away.
"I got it, Yagi-san!" I chimed, he looked at me worried.
"Yashiro those are very heavy." He said I giggled adjusting the load.
"I'm a country girl, this is nothing." I boasted, he smiled as we began to walk again.
"Why aren't you with your classmates?" he asked.
"They are sports festival hype; I needed a break. Too intense." I muttered, he chuckled as we turned down the hall.
"You really remind me a lot of Aizawa." He hummed, I giggled as I felt the weight shift.
"Oh no!" I squealed but I saw Shoji was taking half the stack from me. "Oh, Shoji-kun thanks now I can see where I am going."
"No problem." Shoji replied I smiled at him as we kept walking.
"You two really didn't need to bother yourselves with this," Yagi stated, I beamed at him.
"But we did, we are training to be heroes, why wouldn't we help, right Shoji." I chimed.
"Agreed, besides these books seem heavy for one person," Shoji added, soon we arrived at the room and we set them down where Yagi directed.
"Thank you two very much, do you two want some tea?" Yagi offered.
"Heroes do not require payment," Shoji stated, I nodded and smiled at Yagi.
"Don't stress over it, Yagi." I soothed, he chuckled and rubbed my head and bowed to Shoji.
"Then take my thanks." He hummed, I nodded.
"Your welcome." Shoji and I stated.
We waved to Yagi and left the room, I smiled up at Shoji who looked pleased. He was so cool, kinda reminded me of my brother, silent but strong. I stretched as we walked, now that I think about, I really need to spend more time with my other classmates.
"Are you okay Yashiro?" Shoji asked, I stopped and looked to him.
"Yeah, why?" I replied he rubbed his chin.
"You left the classroom so fast I was concerned." He stated I smiled at him.
"You're so kind Shoji-kun, I am just not into all this intense competition and needed some air. Too intense, I wish we could do this a bit more playfully." I explained, he nodded and rubbed my head.
"Same, I usually try to ignore them," Shoji admitted, I smiled at him.
"Can I say something?" I posed, he nodded. "Just want to say this, you remind me a lot of my big brother."
"Your big brother?"
"Yep, he was four years older, the strong silent type like you, he was also as tall as you. He never liked drama and stayed back and let it happen, sorry that must sound weird."
"No, I feel honoured."
"Oh, I'm glad then."
(Later)
I walked down the hall with Shoji, Tsu, Midoriya, Uraraka and Iida, we all decided to go for ice cream on the way home. As we walked down the hall, I smelt something, I covered my mouth as I tried to stifle a cough. Ugh who is wearing such horrid scent, smells like Axe… I kept a hand over my mouth as we walked then I felt my throat tighten.
"Yashiro?" Midoriya asked, I removed my hand and let out a loud cough.
"Takahashi-kun?" Iida said as I pulled out my inhaler taking a dose.
"Gross…" I grumbled as I coughed again but I felt a hand on my back.
"Yashiro-chan are you okay?" Tsu-chan asked, I shook my head and felt someone pick me up.
"Fresh air might help," Shoji stated, I leaned into him as we speed walked to the entrance.
"Thanks," I muttered as we got to the entrance, I took a deep breath of air and let out another cough. "Who can wear such smelly stuff…"
"You smelled something?" Uraraka said I nodded weakly.
"Like a bad perfume… Guess my body didn't like it…" I grumbled as my cough lessened but I still felt gross.
"Yashiro should we go get Aizawa or Yamada-sensei, kero?" Tsu-chan asked I shook my head.
"No, I'll be okay, just gonna be weak for a bit," I admitted, Tsu and Uraraka began to open our shoe lockers.
"Shoji you hold her, we'll grab your shoes!" Uraraka called, I blushed as Tsu-chan took of my indoor shoes and put on my outdoor ones.
"You guys don't need to." I started but my voice cut out.
"Don't talk Yashiro, let your lungs rest." Midoriya chimed, and Iida nodded.
"Indeed Takahashi, it is best to rest." Iida chimed, I chuckled as Shoji changed his shoes and we left the building.
"Yashiro, we got you." Shoji soothed, I smiled up at him.
"Thanks." I croaked as my voice wavered again.
"You did this back at USJ, are you sick?" Uraraka asked I nodded.
"Weak lungs," I stated, she looked at me worriedly.
"Is the training too much, kero?" Tsu-chan asked I shook my head.
"I am okay, just don't handle smells well," I replied my voice cracking like a record.
"Do you still want ice cream?" Midoriya asked I nodded.
"Cold helps," I stated, he smiled.
"Alright then, ice cream time." He chimed, I smiled as we left the campus.
(Shoji's POV)
We all sat down for ice-cream, I saw a small shop nearby and motioned that I was going to be back. I walked into the shop and looked around; a face mask might help Yashiro. I spotted one and picked it up and quickly purchased it before going back to the others.
"Don't worry I'm feeling better just winded." Yashiro soothed as Tsuyu and Uraraka fussed over her.
"This might help," I said handing her the face mask.
"Huh? Shoji you didn't have to."
"But I did."
"Thanks, it might help."
She quickly finished her treat and put on the mask, I smiled as she seemed to enjoy it. She was such a strong person; she would race to help people and was so fun. She stood up and grabbed my hand her eyes bright.
"That's it, Shoji gets the title of the big brother of the class." She chimed, I chuckled at her declaration.
"Agreed." Tsuyu added, smiling in her usual goofy way.
"Feeling better Takahashi?" Iida asked she nodded.
"Yep, just need to get my wind back, but that can take a while." She answered I smiled at her.
"Want us to walk you home, your house is pretty far away," Uraraka asked, I looked at her concerned.
"Don't worry, I can make it, though I might wait here for a bit." She admitted scratching her cheek sheepishly.
"I'll walk you home," I stated.
"Don't worry Shoji, besides you probably don't live out my way, I am in Ueno pretty far to go." She argued, I smiled at her.
"Don't worry, I want to," I assured, she chuckled and looked at me.
"Well, I can't say no now." She chuckled, I nodded.
"We all best head home, see you guys tomorrow!" Uraraka chimed, me and Yashiro waved off the others as they each took their own way.
"We best get going, if we are fast, we can catch the fast train." She chimed, I scooped her up and began to run to the station. "Hehehahaha Shoji you are fast like lightning!"
"I try," I stated as we arrived at the station and I set her down.
"We get on this line." She said I nodded as we scanned our passes and got onto the train. "Not as crowded, nice."
"Must be quite the trip to school all the way from Ueno," I said, she nodded.
"Yeah but it makes sense, out there, Papa and Dad aren't around as much crime." She stated I nodded that made sense.
"Aizawa-sensei looks tired enough as is," I replied, she nodded.
"I know, Dad gets grumpy when he is really tired, that would be a nightmare." She joked I nodded.
"The class might not survive a day if that happened," I admitted, she giggled.
"He likes the class more than he lets on, or at least that is what Papa says." She said I nodded as she seemed to settle back to her usual self.
"Must be interesting living with them, they are such polar opposites," I commented, she chuckled.
"They're both dorks, but yeah guess it's that old saying, opposites attract." She hummed, the train stopped, and we got off.
"Which way?" I asked she took my hand leading me down the street.
"Follow me!" she beamed, I chuckled as she seemed to gain back her normal energy.
"Feeling better?" I asked she turned to me nodding.
"Yeah, gonna have to tell Papa and Dad about those smells, can't have this happened too much." She answered I nodded as we turned down another street passing a combini.
"Here we are!" she chimed as we stopped at the gate and she pulled it open. "Come on in."
"Thank you," I said, she led me into the yard then into the house I heard a chorus of meows.
"I hear you; I hear you." She complained as she slipped off her shoes and the cats came to us. "You're not that hungry, no whining."
"Aizawa's?" I said, she chuckled as she scooped up the loudest cat.
"Yeah, he spoils them, now they are little needy brats, right Ken you loud bugger." She explained, she motioned me in, and the calico and black and white cat nuzzled my legs.
"What are their names?" I asked, she chuckled as she set the orange onto the sofa.
"Orange boy is Ken, then the calico is Rin, the black and white one is Oreo, finally the white one is Mochi. Sorry if they bother you."
"No, I don't mind, they are quite cute."
"And they know it. You got to wait for the train right, want some tea or juice?"
"Some water would be nice," I said, she led me into the kitchen and the meowing cats followed.
"Alright dinner." She hummed and fed the cats quickly before pouring two glasses of water. "Thanks for everything today Shoji."
"No problem," I replied taking a drink.
"Hope you don't have a long trip home." She said I chuckled.
"Not too far," I assured, she pouted.
"Before you go give your cell number, I want to make sure you got home safe." She insisted, I chuckled at her.
"If am the classes big brother what does that make you?" I teased, she giggled.
"The big sister of the class, I mean technically I am the eldest." She replied I snorted at her cheeky grin.
"I mean technically you're older than everyone," I replied, she giggled.
"I know, I'm so ancient." She said dramatically, she really is a good person.
(Yamada's POV)
"We are home!" I chimed as I entered our quiet home.
Turning I saw Yashiro was on the floor with blankets and pillows, she sat up and race to me and hugged me. Then she carefully did the same to Aizawa and pulled back a huge smile on. She was so cute, I gently pet her hair before I stretched out, this was a long day.
"I found movies from my era! Can we watch some later!?" Yashiro pleaded, bouncing on her toes eagerly.
"Sure, sounds fun, first is dinner." I hummed, Shou was teasing Ken with his bandages.
"Homework and chores done?" Shou asked Yashiro nodded as she picked up Ken.
"Stop spoiling him Dad, he needs to learn not to use bandages as toys." Yashiro lectured half-heartedly.
"He was having fun," Shou replied, as Yashiro set Ken onto the sofa.
"He has toys…" Yashiro muttered I chuckled as she handed Ken a stuffed fish. "Need help with dinner?"
"Hmm, maybe I didn't even think what to make…" I replied and wandered into the kitchen peaking into the cupboards.
"Do we even have meat…" Shou said I sighed realising we should have gone shopping.
"Nope, we are kinda low on most stuff…" I admitted.
"Let's order out…" Shou muttered I nodded.
"Order out? Japan has take-out!?" Yashiro chimed racing into the kitchen.
"Too loud…" Shou grumbled.
"Sorry, I just didn't think that was a thing in Japan." She hummed, I chuckled as I took out the small take-out menus we kept for such occasions.
"Come check it out," I called, she raced over and looked over the menus with me.
"Pizza? Wow! MacDonald's… Weird…" Yashiro muttered I smiled at her.
"Do you like Pizza?" I asked she nodded.
"I love Veggie pizza and garlic fingers!" she chimed.
"Garlic fingers?" I repeated, she gasped.
"You know, pizza but sauce replaced with garlic butter, then cheese and Donair sauce." She explained, I still had no idea. "Oh… Must be a Canadian thing…"
"Maybe we can make some, another night." I offered, she beamed at that.
"Yeah, it's super yummy!" she replied, I smiled at her.
"So, what movie did you want to watch?" Shou asked she grinned widely.
"Only the best movie ever, Lion King, and I even found the Japanese dub for it!" She answered I couldn't wait to see it then.
(Later)
"Are the hog and the meerkat thing married?" Shouta asked I looked to Yashiro as she quickly paused.
"You guys thought that too, it was never stated outright, but everyone assumed it as kids." She explained I nodded as she went to hit play again but paused. "Huh… Wow, I really hope it was intended…"
"Makes logical sense…" Shou mumbled, she nodded and hit play again.
"So, when did this come out?" I asked, she thought a moment.
"1992." She answered, wow this movie was made before she was born.
"So old…" Shou mumbled.
"This studio was around since the '20s all their films are classics so as a kid you see most of them," Yashiro explained, so this was like Ghibli for us.
We all quieted down and watched the last bit of the film once it was over Yashiro got up stretching. It was a good movie, nice and comforting, and the music was nice. Shou liked it too, mostly because the main character was a Lion.
"Oh Papa, Dad can I ask something?" she posed, I nodded.
"Go ahead." Shou urged.
"Um is there a scent policy at school?" She quizzed; I shook my head.
"Why," I asked, she blushed, fidgeting.
"Well I smelt something on my way out of school and it made my asthma flare-up." She admitted.
"Were you okay?" I pressed; she rubbed her hair.
"Well, Shoji-kun carried me out of the building and walked me home. I wasn't feeling too good till I got home." She explained I sighed. "Don't worry I'll be okay, Shoji-kun bought me a face mask, so I should be okay."
"If scents bother you, we can make an announcement, besides potential heroes shouldn't be wearing scents that could bother people," Shou stated, I nodded.
"Of course, why is it making you so upset?" I pressed, she shifted awkwardly.
"Um he would tell me to get over it, said I was being dramatic…" she mumbled, I got up and pulled her close.
"Sorry you had that happen, but we want you to be healthy as can be. Don't be scared to tell us these things, sweetie." I hushed, she leaned into my chest nodding.
