My Hero Academia: Yashiro The First Quirk
Ch.28- Black Mood
"I'm home!" Papa called, I raced out of my room to see him at the door with a bag of groceries.
"Where's Dad?" I asked, he took off his boots stepping in.
"He has to stay a bit later to finish up some paperwork. I came home to start dinner, how was the rest of your day?" Papa hummed, I followed into the kitchen fidgeting a bit.
"Papa, I think Shinso-kun is being abused…" I stated, he froze taking a carrot out of the bag. "His neck, there were marks, just healing and he seemed afraid for me to walk him home… I think it's like what happened to you…"
He set down the carrot and I heard him take a deep breath, I wanted to comfort him. But I felt like I would only make it worse, he turned and pulled me into his chest. I hugged his waist, leaning my head against his chest. I could hear his heart racing, I held him tighter.
"I'll tell Nezu and Shouta about it, thanks for telling me sweetie…" he stated, his voice sounded off.
"Papa, if you want, I can make dinner and you can relax…" I offered, he pulled back and smiled at me.
"How about we cook together, first I gotta shower, you finish up any last bits of homework." He said, I held on his forearms.
"Papa…" I muttered, why did I feel so scared.
"I'll be out in a bit, I promise." He soothed, I looked up at him not wanting to let go. "Okay, you can wait outside if that makes you feel better."
I nodded and he pulled me close to hug me again, I was feeling better now. I would be there; he would be fine. Why was I so upset? I know why I thought he would come out hurt. Did we even own a razor blade? I shut my eyes as I nuzzled his chest, I would be there and nothing would happen…
(Shouta's POV)
I stepped inside the door, it had been a long day, and I had a lot of paperwork for the internships. I was glad to see so much of the class got recommendations. I began to pull off my boots, it was oddly quiet in here, too quiet. I put aside my bag and peered into the kitchen where Hizashi was bandaging Yashiro's finger.
"What happened in here?" I asked, he turned to me he looked terrible eyes a bit red and his neck was red too.
"Hey Shou, just a little cut, onions are not her speciality." He joked half-heartedly; Yashiro turned to me she looked in sad shape too.
"Yeah, you can go shower, me and Papa should be done soon." She stated, I walked over and rubbed both their heads.
"You both look a mess, what's wrong?" I continued, Hizashi looked away and Yashiro bit her lip.
"Shinso is being abused Dad, he had marks on his neck like.. like Papa…" Yashiro stated, I pulled them both into a hug.
"You too go watch a movie or something, let's order out tonight. We can cook all this tomorrow." I soothed, Hizashi nodded over my shoulder.
"Sounds good…" he muttered, pulling back I gently pushed them out of the kitchen.
"I'll clean this up, go set up a movie for us to watch." I urged, Hizashi put his arm around Yashiro as they headed for the living room.
Looking around I saw how little they had gotten done, only a carrot, half an onion and a green pepper had been cut. The meat was still in its package so I put it in the fridge and but the chopped vegetables in a pair or Tupperware containers and put them into the fridge as well. Then I put the knives and cutting boards into the sink, I'll wash those later.
Pulling out the pile of take-out menus I scanned them over, I think something simple we can share would be good. There was the one with the rice, tempura and gyoza, that should work. Pulling out my phone I quickly called and placed the order for delivery.
Heading into the living room I saw they had put on what I was beginning to think was their favourite movie by now, My Neighbour Totoro. It seemed to always help them feel better and I enjoyed how peaceful it was. Back in Highschool Hizashi had a cute Totoro hoodie he wore at the dorm apartment. I wonder if I can get them both one to wear now, will have to look it up later.
"Dad, join us." Yashiro pleaded, I nodded and sat at the end, holding Hizashi as Yashiro curled up laying her head on his stomach.
Looking them over again I could see the small red scratches on Hizashi's neck, he had a panic attack. He still had a bad habit of scratching his neck when his anxiety flared. Luckily over the years, he stopped self-harming. In our late teen's and early twenties, I would be terrified to come home to see him cutting once again. Most of the scars faded over the past decade but a few bad ones remain on his thighs.
Yashiro on the other hand, she seemed to shut down, her anxiety made her go quiet and retreat. She seemed to lose touch with reality, probably how she cut her finger earlier. One thing I was still relieved about was that I never saw one trace of self-harm on her. Though she did pick off her eyelashes when she was stressed. She had thick lashes so it was harder to notice, but I could definitely see the small gaps in her lashes.
"What did you order?" Hizashi asked, I kissed his hair.
"Rice, assorted tempura and pork gyoza," I answered, he nodded as he was gently stroking Yashiro's long hair.
"You're our hero." He stated leaning to the side to kiss my chin.
"Gotta switch it up some you know," I replied, he smiled at me as I wrapped an arm around his shoulders.
"Guess that's why we work so well. Still Shou thanks, you always know what to do at times like this." He added, we gently kissed and I leaned my cheek against the top of his head.
We sat in silence as the movie played in the background, it was nice and relaxing. Hizashi seemed to be relaxing even more, but he still played with Yashiro's hair. She had her eyes focused on the movie her cheek against Hizashi's stomach arms wrapped around his waist.
Her phone began to play a melody, she reached over and took it off the coffee table as I heard our gate bell ring. Getting up I went to go pay and bring in our food. Stepping out I saw the young delivery boy and I paid with my card as he took out the bag. Handing it to me he left and I headed back in, dinner then maybe I could take a quick shower.
I could see both Hizashi and Yashiro looking at her phone they both looked about to laugh. I began to set out the on the coffee table as they finally began to laugh. I smiled; it was good that they were laughing.
Looking up Yashiro pushed her phone at me. It was a video; it was footage of a normal shop of some kind. Suddenly the ceiling collapsed and a man fell through. He and someone off-camera calmly greeted each other before the guy said, that had hurt. I snickered; it was rather funny mostly for how calm they both sounded afterwards.
"Who sent you that?" I asked, Yashiro put her phone away as she and Hizashi sat up properly.
"Kaminari said he wanted to look up old Youtube videos and found this one, I remember watching this one in my time. Now he is spamming the chat with like a million old videos." She explained, I guess that did look rather old. "Pft, he's not stopping like at all, Bakugo is gonna flip in the chat soon."
"I still don't know how you all even keep a chat room running," I stated, I can only imagine the chaos, I mean the teachers chat room was bad enough sometimes.
"Dumb luck." She giggled.
"I'll go get us chopsticks, be right back," I stated, as Yashiro began to type something into her phone.
"Thanks, handsome!" Hizashi called, as I headed into the kitchen. Seems they were feeling better already.
(Yashiro's POV)
After Totoro, I felt a lot better and so did Papa, so I decided it was okay to head to my room for an hour before bed. I had entered the chat scrolled up to see Bakugo's swear filled rant before he must have turned off his ringtone. I swear Kami was little meme lord if Reddit was a thing nowadays he would be king.
Yashiro: Kami why are you such a meme lord?
Kaminari: Internet is my life =)
Kirishima: Dude Bakugo might kill you tomorrow
Kaminari: You'll protect me, right bro?
Kirishima: Well yeah
Yashiro: Katsuki is more bark than bite
Kirishima: True enough
Sero: Yashiro has no fear, worship the queen!
Mina: Why would she? Aizawa would kill Bakugo if he touched her
Yashiro: I'd kick his ass first
Kirishima: I don't doubt that one bit
Sero: As I said, QUEEN
Kaminari: Man the chat is kinda dead tonight, what is everyone doing?
Kirishima: Not everyone lives in chat
Sero: Some people have lives unlike me and you Kami
Kaminari: Bro… My soul
Yashiro: I was way worse back in my day, wait give me a minute
Mina: Whatcha doing?
Yashiro:
Sero: Holy shit it's us!
Kaminari: Same
Yashiro: This was a big meme back in my time on a site called Reddit, you two are legit modern Redditors
Mina: Wow a site full of Kami and Sero, tbh sounds kinda awesome
Kaminari: OMG! Just googled that shit, this is the best thing I have ever found!
Sero: Finally, the good stuff, Yashiro is upgraded to goddess now! We love you! *Heart emoji's*
Kirishima: Bro's please tell me you finished your homework, ectoplasm-sensei is gonna kill you if you didn't
Sero: Pst, we're fine
Kaminari: I'll copy in the morning
Mina: Don't come to me, I'm probably wrong
Sero: I already did that, you can copy mine bro
Kaminari: I could kiss you rn

Yashiro: Of course, pan and proud
Mina: Me too!
Kaminari: Gay
Kirishima: Same
Sero: With the ladies here
Mina: We gotta get a class role call for this some time, minus the grape fuck
Sero: There is a good reason he is not in chat
Kirishima: Totally unmanly in every way
Kaminari: I am surprised he didn't quit before the festival
Yashiro: Don't think he's gonna last the year, next perverted act and Dad's expelling him.
Mina: Aizawa-sensei is the best teacher ever!
Kirishima: Hell yeah, he's badass
Sero: Agreed
Yashiro: If I showed him this, he would blush
Kirishima: Please don't
Kaminari: I feel like living Yashiro, he's epic but he can scare the piss out of me
Mina: He would only ever do that at home, he didn't even blush at our party today
Kirishima: he smiled though
Sero: I know, did you see him open his stuff Yashiro?
Yashiro: No, he got home late, had paperwork or something
Kaminari: We got him so much cat stuff
Mina: I think Uraraka gave him mochi
Yashiro: Of course she did, it's her favourite thing
Kirishima: I got him a best teacher mug
Sero: Cat mug
Kaminari: cat chopsticks
Mina: I gave him cat sticky notes
Yashiro: Yeah, he would love all that stuff, we already have a few cat-themed kitchenware
Kirishima: So how was that kid from lunch?
Kaminari: Bakugo was ready to murder that gen ed guy
Mina: I was too, no one fucks with Yashiro
Yashiro: Don't get yourself in trouble for me, and he was okay… But I am a bit worried about him, I think he is being abused at home…
Mina: What?!
Kaminari: Who we taking out?
Kirishima: Yeah, class 1A will fix this!
Yashiro: I told my Dad's, they are gonna keep an eye too, just try to keep an eye out, Iida too…
Sero: Class Prez hasn't entered chat once…
Kirishima: He's upset…
Mina: He wasn't himself today
Kaminari: We'll look out for Class Prez, and that Gen Ed kid
Sero: You know his name, he's the one who faced Midoriya
Kaminari: Oh yeah, Shinso wasn't it
Sero: Dude you were gushing over him at the festival
Kaminari: Dude don't just kill me like that
Yashiro: Wow Sero, just killed your boi like that
Mina: RIP Kami
Kirishima: Not my type but he seemed pretty cool
Mina: We all know your type Kiri
Yashiro: Agreed

Kirishima: What is it from?
Sero: Redditor Sero needs to know
Yashiro: link: Can you feel the love (Japanese)
Kaminari: Our song!
Yashiro: It's from the Lion King, it's a Disney film that came out in 92 if I remember correctly.
Mina: 2192?
Yashiro: Make me feel like a dinosaur much… 1992
Sero: You're youthful as anything Yashiro!
Kirishima: Yeah!
Kaminari: I appreciate the internet of your era

Kirishima: Yashiro you are very manly
Kaminari: Dude you need to like say awesome sometimes
Yashiro: I speak Kiri
Mina: We just girlified her wardrobe over the break Kiri she is a true Queen
Yashiro: Papa almost cried, he wanted to be a part of that too I think
Mina: Yamada-sensei is a Queen
Yashiro: Yep
Sero: Is he a total fashionista?
Yashiro: Yep, he sometimes does modelling
Mina: Meanwhile Aizawa sensei owns like two outfits?
Yashiro: More, but they all look the same
Mina: Let me guess all black
Yashiro: Mostly
Kaminari: Can you imagine if Aizawa and Yamada-sensei switched costumes for a day
Sero: God no…
Mina: Well at that I am gonna head off
Yashiro: Yeah, gotta head to bed
Kaminari: What did I say
Sero: Dude Aizawa-sensei gave you a bedtime?
Yashiro: Yeah, don't worry I had my time of no bedtimes and staying up till 3am
Sero: Fair, well night ladies!
Kirishima: See you tomorrow!
Kaminari: Bye-bye!
Mina: Night!
Yashiro: Nite, keep it, clean boys!
I put away my phone and smiled as I began to search for a video to watch. As I did, I heard a knock on my door, it creaked open and I saw Papa. I got up and we did our routine, I still had trouble with pills. I remember I used to spit them across the room. Papa helped me by taking his with me, it made it easier. Still chugged a ton of water afterwards.
"All done, well try to get a good sleep tonight, you want to come with us again tomorrow?" Papa chimed, I nodded.
"Yeah Nezu said my new uniform should be in tomorrow," I replied, he smiled and pulled me into a hug.
"I love you." He stated, I smiled and leaned into him.
"Love you too Papa…" I replied, we pulled apart and I headed to my bedroom. Tomorrow will be a better day.
