My Hero Academia: Yashiro The First Quirk
Ch.25- Long Night for Heroes
"We're home sweetie!" Hizashi called, Yashiro poked her head out of the laundry room.
"Welcome home!" she greeted as we began to slip off our shoes.
"Doing laundry?" I asked as she went back into the room.
"Yep, the girls pretty much demanded I get new clothes, apparently I am a fashion disaster." She answered I felt Hizashi eyes on me.
"I wonder where she got that from?" Hizashi teased, I gently shoved him.
"Shut it, mister fashionista," I replied, he chuckled.
"Oh Papa, is there somewhere you can donate clothes?" Yashiro questioned heading out of the room.
"Why?" I stated.
She reached down and tugged on her pants, wait I thought she bought nothing but tights and cargo pants. Wait did they stretch? No, that's too much of a difference. So that must mean, I looked her up and down. How did I not notice, she is so much smaller? I mean it makes sense she eats better and is active with the course.
"Oh my goodness! I can't believe I didn't notice!" Hizashi chimed and pulled Yashiro tight to his chest.
"Even I didn't, Kyoka pointed it out and the girls decided to take me cloth shopping. I am just washing the new outfits right now." She explained, I smiled. "Keeping a few hoodies though, but nothing is that worn, I wanna give them to people who might need them."
"Good idea, we can do that soon, I know a lot of thrift shops take them in," I stated, she smiled.
"I need to start working on my stamina next!" she chimed.
"We'll have to work it around your asthma…" I explained, she lights up.
"Wait, what about Uncle Toshi, he has respiratory issues too right, I bet he can help! I mean he bulked up Izuku!" she chirped, I frowned. "Dad, this can be something to teach him how to you know, teach?"
"She does have a point Shou, besides you can't be grump to him forever," Hizashi added, I sighed.
"Alright, we can talk to him once we're back in school." I conceded.
"Thanks, Dad!" she thanked and raced to hug me.
"Make me lose my stoic persona why don't you?" I huffed, she snickered and pulled back.
"Come on, you can be a softie too." She teased, I looked away.
"Stay there I need pictures!" Hizashi chimed and I began to hear him snapping photos.
"I will have my revenge." I huffed, he snickered behind his phone.
"Of course Shou-chan!" he cooed, Yashiro let go and turned to him.
"You're next Papa!" she chimed and raced to tackle him in a hug too.
"Sweet revenge…" I hummed and I snapped my own photos.
"Shou I'm a mess!" he whined, I chuckled.
"And I'm not?" I taunted, he pouted. "All done, now you should shower that dumb gel out."
"Rude!" Hizashi cried Yashiro was snickering.
"No more cockatoo, normal hair in this house." Yashiro teased pushing him toward the bath.
"It's a statement." He whined, once he was in the bathroom, I chuckled.
"How was the festival?" she asked, I rubbed her head.
"Good, I hope you had a fun day out with the girls," I answered, she nodded.
"Yep, but they mentioned something that bothered me. They mentioned they were all wary of Mineta. They mentioned they thought he would peak up their skirts. I told them to tell you if it happened again." She explained I sighed.
"I'll keep an eye out, honestly been wanting to expel him, he doesn't take your hero training seriously. If I catch or hear he is being a creep to the girls, I will expel him. Can't a hero think about such things while on the job." I rambled, she nodded. "Thanks for telling me."
"No problem, I figured you would want to know." She replied, I smiled at her, she is improving so fast.
I heard my phone ring, I pulled it out and Yashiro excused herself heading up to her room. I answered it as I sat on the arm on the couch. Please let this be Nemuri, I asked only to be called in for emergencies till classes began again.
"Hello Eraserhead, sorry to call you," Tsukauchi stated, just my luck.
"Tsukauchi, what do you need?" I asked he sighed.
"We found a villain, we are planning to apprehend him tonight, but with his quirk and the location. We would need your quirk to minimize collateral." He answered I sighed.
"Who is it?" I inquired.
"You know the one from the string of homicides in the red-light districts. A source has confirmed he will be at a certain club tonight." He explained, so it was that guy.
"Alright, what time?" I asked I heard shuffling paper.
"He is said to arrive around midnight, we want to get you and another pro inside the club undercover by eleven." He explained I sighed.
"Who else will be there?" I said.
"Well we got West Styles, and then outside we will have a few undercover cops and our arresting force in a store next door." He listed, makes sense me and West Styles are not well known, we can sneak in easier.
"Alright, what time do you want me to go to the station?" I asked.
"Could you get here by ten, so we have time to go over the plan and get there. Meet at the Shinjuku station." He informed, that gave me three hours or so.
"Alright, I will see you there," I stated.
"Thank you, Eraserhead, see you then." He replied, I hung up and flopped back onto the sofa.
"Dad?" Yashiro quizzed; I saw her at the base of the stairs.
"Heard?" I muttered, she nodded.
"What time do you go?" she asked, I sat up.
"I have to be at the station for ten," I answered, she walked over and took a seat next to me.
"You both work too hard, you know?" she teased, I smiled at her.
"Being a hero can do that," I replied, she smiled.
"Fair, want to do anything before you leave?" she chimed, I rubbed her head.
"Relax with my family," I stated, she smiled at me brightly and hugged me. "Don't worry this should be a quick job."
"I know, you're a great hero…" she muttered into my shirt. "I'll always worry about you though."
I gently wrapped an arm around her, as she cuddled up to me. This would be my first job since USJ. I had been testing my quirk but this was a mission. Both and her and Zashi will worry, that's just who they are.
(Yashiro's POV)
We set up the living room for me and Papa to watch a movie, Dad would be back around one or two in the morning. Watching a movie would help us both sleep, I even brought down my collection of plush toys. Dad was in his gear and was slipping on his boots to head out.
"Good luck Shou," Papa said, Dad stood up and turned to us.
"See you both in the morning." He soothed.
"Be safe," I added, he nodded and left the house.
"We should go take our medicine and then we can watch a movie," Papa stated, I looked up at him and nodded.
"Can we watch Porco Rosso?" I replied he smiled.
"Sounds good, now let's take our pills." He hummed, I nodded and we went to take our meds.
It still took me a few times to finally swallow them, I hadn't really swallowed pills before. I usually crushed them and put them in jam, Papa began to help me. It was easier when we took them together, maybe I thought I would choke or something. We took our pills in sync and swallowed together, it took me a few times though. Papa rubbed my back until I managed it.
"Good job." Papa soothed; I drank another cup of water.
"Still feels wrong," I muttered; he pets my hair.
"You're doing it though, now we can watch our movie."
We went to the living room and I quickly set up the film, once I was done, I laid next to Papa. We were laying with our heads propped up on a mess of pillows and spare blankets. We both covered up in our blankets and I leaned over so I could rest my head next to his shoulder.
"Papa, you and Dad need to take a vacation sometime." I mused I heard him chuckle.
"We'll take of Golden Week, you'll be off too, maybe we can go on a trip." He hummed, I smiled.
"That sounds nice…" I mumbled.
"Don't worry about Shou, he'll be back in the morning."
"I know, thanks, Papa…"
"Tomorrow we'll all watch a movie together, maybe we can go get some treats at the combini."
"I'd like that, let's watch movies with cats."
"Shou would love that."
"I love you, Papa."
"Love you too sweetie."
(Aizawa's POV)
I walked down the street, I was almost home, it had been a longer night that anticipated. It was almost six in the morning. We ended up catching the guy but as we did another villain popped out. I had a few scratches and bruises but I was fine. They sent me to get a check-up anyway, it was a pain. Now at least I was almost home and I could sleep, I needed more coffee for this shit.
I finally reached our front gate, I pushed it open and quickly went to the door. I unlocked it and entered, as soon as I opened the door, I heard footsteps. Hizashi came out he had a look on his face that made me sick. He was on the verge of a panic attack, after hesitating a moment he threw himself at me.
Luckily, I was able to keep us both up as he clung to me for dear life. With everything that happened, he must have been worried sick. But through this whole mess, my phone was destroyed. So, I had no way to call or notify him. He must have been thinking himself into the worst possible scenarios.
"Hizashi I'm sorry, went longer than expected and my phone finally decided to break on me." I apologized, he pulled back tears flowing down his cheeks.
"Considering what it's been through it did a good job…" he joked, I smiled at him as I began to wipe at his tears.
"They took me to a clinic to get checked up, all good just a few cuts and bruises. Apparently, another villain thought after an arrest was the best time to cause trouble." I explained, he chuckled a bit.
"Wow, that was beyond stupid." He stated I nodded. "I'm glad you're okay, and your next phone is going to be even tougher."
"Might look into getting a protector for it in my costume," I added, he smiled and kissed my cheeks.
"I like that idea." He hummed, I smiled at him as he began to relax. "You stink, go shower and then you can go to bed handsome."
"Ugh, can't I skip hygiene for a nap?" I groaned.
"Sadly nope, you smell like a bad club." He hummed, of course, I had gotten booze spilt on me during the bust.
"Of course I do, I was fighting in a bad club," I muttered, he led me toward the bathroom.
"Shower, I'll make you a snack, you must be hungry." He hushed, I smiled at him.
"Thanks, Zashi." I hummed and gently kissed him before heading to shower.
(Hizashi's POV)
I could hear Shou in the shower, he always got frustrated with his hair after patrols. It was so thick and with his quirk it ended up getting very knotted even without all the movements from his fighting. I looked into the living room and saw Yashiro was waking up. I wasn't surprised, she was very upset and worried last night.
"Good morning," I called, she rolled over and looked at me.
"Papa? What time is it?" she asked, trying to unroll herself from her blanket.
"About six, Shou is in the shower, I'm making him a snack. After that, I'll make us some breakfast." I explained, she got up and put on her glasses.
"He's okay right?" she questioned her voice softer than normal.
"Yeah, just a few cuts and bruises, but seems it didn't go that well. But that happens." I stated, she walked into the kitchen.
"Did you sleep Papa?" she directed, "Your eyes are red."
"His phone broke, I was a bit worried is all," I replied, I felt her arms wrap around my waist.
"Let's just go back to sleep." She mumbled, "You're tired."
"I am, what about you?" I asked, she nuzzled my back.
"I wanna sleep more, or at least try, I'm tired too." She answered I finished Shouta's snack of two dango sticks with a honey glaze.
"How about you go put on another movie and we can sleep to that again?" I posed turning to her she smiled.
"Okay, I am gonna put on Totoro." She replied and headed for the living room.
"You're up now too?" Shouta stated, I walked and set his snack on the table.
"Not for long!" she chimed, I smiled peaking to see her hugging Shouta. "Welcome back Dad!"
Soon they separated and she eagerly went to go put on the movie. I motioned Shouta over and I led him to sit down. He kissed my cheek and began to eat his snack. He was looking ready to sleep, but he needed fuel after a long night.
"Thanks, Zashi." He thanked, I took and put his empty plate in the sink.
"Movies ready!" Yashiro called, I grabbed Shouta leading him to the futons.
"Movie and bed sound good?" I chimed, he chuckled.
"Sounds perfect." He replied, and we headed to join our daughter.
