My Hero Academia: Yashiro The First Quirk
Ch.22- Let's go out!
"They are so cute Shou-chan." Nemuri purred, as I gently covered up Yashiro and Hizashi as they slept.
"They both had a long day," I stated, Yashiro was cuddled up to his side and Hizashi had an arm around her waist.
"I better set an alarm for me and Hizashi," Nemuri stated, I glared at her. "You really think the festival will be put off a day? Hizashi has to announce, you know it."
"He works too much," I grumbled; she patted my head.
"I know, only two more days and you get a few days off. We can cancel his stuff at his agency and have a stand-in for his show this week. He is a wreck when he can't do his job when he needs to." Nemuri comforted, I nodded Hizashi didn't take putting off his obligations well especially with work.
"I need to think of something to do with Yashiro…" I muttered, Nemuri laid against the armrest of the couch.
"I think her seeing Shoto-kun would help, a hero is staying with them at the Endeavor house while this is all sorted. She's like Hizashi not knowing will worry her." Nemuri stated, "Maybe you can plan something to do with them. I think relaxing with him will bring back normalcy."
"You do realise I am not Zashi, fun planning isn't my thing," I stated, she smirked.
"Shou-chan this is your daughter I am sure you can think of something?" she teased, I glared at her. "Come on what does Yashiro like?"
"Sweets, cute things, anime, manga, games?" I listed; I should know more shouldn't I…
"What anime?" she pressed, I looked at her lost.
"Um, I think one was called Dragon something?" I said, she grunted and got up dragging me upstairs.
"Look in her room energy saver." She ordered pushing me into her room.
Looking around I saw her plush toys, she had some Sanrio plush toys, cute things. Then I saw the posters, she had replaced some of her earlier ones with some magical girl thing. She had put manga on her shelf, she had some gag looking one, one with a white-haired dog boy. Then I saw the same magical girl as her posters, I picked it up, Sailor Moon…
"Getting any ideas Shou-chan?" Nemuri asked I looked up at her.
"You realise I work, and just go to cat café's, right?" I insisted, she groaned.
"I forget how much of a hermit you can be…" she groaned leaning her forehead against the door frame. "I'll help you plan but you have to look up stuff."
"Fine…" I grumbled time to get this day planned.
(Hizashi's POV)
I heard ringing, what the hell?! Oh yeah, I must have slept with my hearing aids in. Yeah, we were watching Ghibli movies in the living room. Now, who turned on an alarm, Shou wouldn't bother, I groaned and opened my eyes. Turning I saw a black-haired figure walking over, not Shou, too thin and short.
"Hizashi-kun time to get up!" Nemuri cooed, of course it was Nemuri.
"Why are you doing this to me..?" I grumbled and sat up reaching for my glasses on the tv stand.
"It's morning and sadly the festival isn't delayed." She stated, of fucking course.
"What time is it?" I asked, getting up I saw Yashiro was still asleep cuddled around her new plushies.
"We got an hour to get there, a few third years helped set up so we just need to get there in time for the pre-festival meeting. Shouta is making breakfast, you go get ready."
"Sounds good, thanks Nemuri. Thank you, Shou!" I called and headed to the bathroom; I saw my costume already laid out. I need to thank them both later.
(Yashiro's POV)
I opened my eyes, what time is it? I sat up and rubbed the drool from my cheek. Looking around I saw my glasses were on the TV, slipping them on I slipped out of my blanket. How do I burrito myself almost every night? Getting up I saw Dad was taking a nap on the couch Mochi was asleep on his chest. I smiled and wandered to the kitchen and saw a note. 'Wake me up for breakfast -Dad' I smiled at the note.
Walking to the bathroom and saw a note on the sink, I smiled and picked it up. 'See you after I finish work at the festival today -Papa' I guess he can't miss that. I washed my face, I had slept for a while, now I felt great. I hope Shoto had a good night's sleep too, I am a bit worried about him still.
Walking back to the couch I gently poked Dad's cheek, he grumbled a bit. Soon I saw his eyes open and he smirked and sat up cradling Mochi. He set Mochi on a pillow and stood up stretch and tussled my hair. It was nice to see him all healed, he had new scars but he looked back to normal. It was nice, I forgot how much I missed this, missed seeing my Dad as himself.
"I'm thinking of making pancakes for brunch, sound good?" he hummed, I looked up and nodded. "You sure have a sweet tooth."
"It's a North American thing," I replied, he snorted.
"So, I was thinking we could go see Shoto-kun today? How does that sound?" Dad stated as he entered the kitchen grabbing the ingredients he needed.
"We can go today?" I pressed, he nodded. "Yes, that sounds great, I want to see Shoto, I 'm still a bit worried about him."
"We figured." He stated as he began to make the mix.
"We should make Papa a nice dinner tonight." I mused, he chuckled.
"Your Papa loves fried chicken; we'll get that delivered and he will be happy." Dad hummed, that made sense Papa did like American culture. "I was thinking do you want to spend some time with Shoto today?"
"Huh?" I quizzed.
"You both had a rough day, we can go have fun, like an arcade and cafes?" I explained, I smiled.
"You don't have to come with us, you can come home and sleep." I soothed, he smirked.
"Nope, Shoto needs a hero escort for a bit, just in case," Dad informed, I guess that made sense, I mean Endeavor might have allies. "Don't think too hard, it's just a precaution."
"I'll ask Shoto, maybe he'll just want an easy day," I stated, he nodded as he began to stack the pancakes.
I went to the cupboards and brought out the plates and silverware for us to eat. We had a few Western dishes since I moved here, it was odd but nice. I really liked the dish called Gratin, it was like mac and cheese but better. We had both vegetable and pasta versions; it was super good.
"I'll get drinks, what do you want?" Dad asked setting the plate of pancakes on the table.
"Milk please." I chimed and sat down, soon he came back with milk, glasses and maple syrup. The container was so tiny.
"Come on eat up, I had breakfast earlier." He stated, I took two and grabbed the syrup as he poured us milk.
"Dad, I'm glad you're all better," I stated, he smiled.
"Me too, thanks for all your help." He thanked I looked away a small blush forming.
"You're my Dad, of course, I would help where I could," I stated.
(Later)
We arrived at the Todoroki residence; it was just as fascinating as before. It was so traditional in architecture, like the temple we went to as a class. As we got up the walkway a hero came over and began to talk to Dad. Dad was in his hero costume; I was beginning to wonder if he even had other outfits besides pyjamas.
"Let's go kiddo." He stated, I nodded and quickly bowed to the hero and entered the engawa. I saw a girl with white hair with red spots walk by with a box, she paused and smiled and quickly raced off. She came right back and walked over to us and bowed to us, or more accurately Dad.
"You're Aizawa-san, Shoto's homeroom teacher, right? I am his elder sister Fuyumi, it a pleasure to meet you. I am very grateful to you and the other UA staff for dealing with the incident yesterday. You have my eternal gratitude." She introduced, I smiled she seemed nice. "Shoto! Your teacher is here!"
I heard footsteps and I saw Shoto come out, he was wearing slacks and a blue polo. He looked at Dad and bowed his head, I peek out from behind him. He raised his head and his eyes widened, then he flew at me. I smiled as he pulled me into a tight hug, I hugged him back eagerly.
"Yashiro! Are you okay?! I was worried about you!?" he cried; I gently pet his back.
"I'm okay Shoto, I went home and had a nice relaxing evening at home. I am so glad you're safe now, I was worried about you too. Did you sleep well?" I soothed, we pulled apart and I rubbed away his tears.
"Uhuh." He replied I smiled at him.
"You're the one who saved my brother, Shoto said you were the one to notify the teachers and race to him," Fuyumi said, I nodded and she bowed. "Thank you for being there for my brother and getting our family help."
"I am glad to help, Shoto is my friend and classmate I couldn't let this continue, not if I could help it. I am so glad your family can be free from him now. I know this kind of thing can be very hard." I replied she smiled at me tears building in her eyes.
"Thank you." She thanked I smiled at her.
"I should really introduce myself properly," I said and bowed to her. "I am Yashiro Aizawa-Yamada I am Shoto's classmate."
"I am Fuyumi, Shoto's elder sister." She said I rose up.
"What's all the commotion?" A voice called; I saw a boy enter.
"Natsuo this is Shoto's teacher Aizawa-san and his classmate Yashiro-san," Fuyumi explained, he came over and bowed.
"Nice to meet you I am Natsuo, I am Shoto's older brother, thank you both for all your help and work yesterday." He greeted, I smiled.
"So, what are you doing today?" I asked Shoto.
"We're taking out the things we don't want in the house now." He explained that made sense.
"Shoto's working on his own room, me and Natsuo are tackling the rest of the house," Fuyumi explained, I nodded. "Since you're here why don't you stay for tea, Shoto why not show Yashiro-san around the house."
"Okay." He replied, I smiled and let him lead me in after I kicked off my shoes.
"Your house is so Japanese, very traditional, it's so cool," I stated, he smiled.
"I like it too, feels warm, warmer now." He replied I nodded. "Want to see my room?"
"Sure," I stated.
He slides open a door and I saw a tatami bedroom; it was so cool. In the corner was a folded-up Futon, comforter and pillow. He had a table in the middle of the room with fruit and snacks in a bowl. He had a few shelves but the big notice was the pile of clothes by the closet, he must be going through them.
"Wow, your room is so cool, we had nothing like this back in my country!" I chimed, he 4ytg
"Thanks, I figured you must like traditional stuff after I saw you race around the Shrine the other day." He said I nodded.
"Yeah, I love Japan, I was kinda obsessed with learning about it back in my time. I had a big love for anime, manga and modern Japanese culture at the time. We had a term for it called Weeaboo, but it was so different than anything where I was from." I explained, he smiled.
"What were things like there?" he asked, now how to explain that.
"Well things, like houses and such were bigger, and not as much traditional kind of things, the older things were like Churches… Nothing was really that historic, but nothing was really too modern. There were tons of nature around even in the town. Kinda hard to describe, to be honest, but in a way, it was boring, nothing really changed. Only the seasons…" I rambled, it had felt so stagnant, so lifeless…
"Was it all bad?" he asked, I shook my head.
"No, it was pretty, we had nice beaches and patch-work like fields. I guess to me that small place felt like an isolated place. Nothing new came in and no one really left. During the summer a lot of tourists came, it was a nice to visit, just not to live." I answered he looked confused. "The whole island was so small; it wasn't even a day's trip to go from one tip to the other. But it was hard to leave, so no one really did."
"I get that, sometimes that is what this house felt like…" he mused, I guess to him it was just like it.
"Shoto do you want to go out and do something, I bet you don't get to go have fun much. I am still new but maybe we can learn together?" I offered, he blushed. "We can go to an arcade, shop, eat at a café, then maybe you can come to see my house, it's not too big though. I don't want you to feel like you're trapped here."
"I wanna be free." He muttered; I took his hands.
"Then let's be free, we can stay out all day!" I chimed, he looked up at me smiling.
"I want to go." He said, I smiled and took his hand.
"Let's go find my Dad, he said he would escort us if we wanted," I stated and he nodded and we raced through the halls.
"We're in here!" Fuyumi called, we raced toward her voice.
Sliding open the door I saw Dad drinking tea with Natsuo and Fuyumi. I raced over and placed my hands on the table. We were going to go out and be teenagers. Shoto should experience it, and I want to experience it with him.
"Fuyumi is it alright if Shoto comes out for the day with me, Dad will be our escort?" I asked, she looked surprised but smiled fondly.
"Of course, Shoto should go have fun." She stated I beamed at her.
"Yeah! Hear that Shoto, we can go have fun, what's a place you always wanted to go?" I hummed racing up to grab his hands.
"An arcade…" he stated, I nodded.
"Yeah, I haven't been the one yet, that will be fun!" I chimed, he nodded smiling.
(Later)
We had spent all day out and about, the arcade was fun, we played the games and tried a claw machine, it was hard but fun. Then we went to a mall and looked around, I even got Shoto to buy some All Might merch, he was so happy. We had lunch at a café, it was pokemon-themed, I smiled and showed off my knowledge to Shoto who seemed in awe. It was a great day and I got to see Shoto smile more. We returned to the arcade and Dad won us each a plush, it was so cool.
"Well ready to head home?" Dad asked I looked to Shoto who hugged his calico cat plush to his chest.
He looked awkward like he wanted to ask something, I walked over and smiled at him. He leaned down to bury his face in his plush cat. Was this too much? Maybe he didn't want to go home yet?
"Dad can Shoto come over to our place for a bit?" I asked; Dad smirked.
"Sure," Dad replied, I smiled and grabbed Shoto's hand.
"We can watch movies at my place, sound fun?" I cheered, he lifted his head a soft smile on his face and nodded.
