My Hero Academia: Yashiro The First Quirk
Ch.34- His Smile lights up
I put on the outfit Papa helped me pic out last night, today I was going with Shoto to meet her mother. I was going as support for him but I wanted to make a good impression. I patted down my dress, it had a button-up top and a red overall second layer that went a bit past my knees. I wore a pair of sheer tights underneath it, I grabbed a scrunchie and began to put up my hair, I groaned as I made it off centre.
"He's going to be here soon, you ready?" Papa chimed, entering my room.
"Papa, can you put up my hair?" I asked, he smiled and walked over.
"I'll do a braid, how does that sound?" he chimed, I nodded and he motioned me into my desk chair.
Papa was so good at doing hair, Dad was surprisingly good at it too. Papa always did it so gently and would hum as he did it. I closed my eyes as I listened to him hum a melody as he braided my hair. I wasn't sure what the melody was from but it was soothing. Soon I felt him pat my shoulders, I reached back to touch the intricate braid.
"Thanks, Papa." I chimed, I got up and grabbed my bag off my bed and checked inside.
"Got everything?" he asked, I nodded seeing my wallet, train card, medicine and phone all inside.
"Yep," I answered, he smiled at me.
I heard the doorbell ring, I guess Shoto was here, Papa headed down with me. I raced to the genkan and opened the door, I saw him there he was wearing a dress shirt and nice pants. He must be nervous too, I pulled him inside and grinned at him. He looked flustered, I guess his nerves were getting to him.
"Looking good you two, you have everything you need Shoto?" Papa stated as I began to put on my boots.
"Yes sir." He replied he patted his head.
"Don't let your nerves get to you." He soothed, I stood up and nodded.
"Yeah, I'll be with you the whole time," I added, he smiled at me.
"Thanks, Yashiro, I feel better with you joining me." He replied I beamed at him as I took his hand.
"We should head out; we don't want to miss the train." I chirped, he nodded. "Bye Papa, I will text you when we get there!"
"Be safe!" he called as I led Shoto out of the house.
"We will!" I replied.
(Shoto's POV)
We stopped and got some drinks before we bored the train to the hospital. Yashiro was so cute today; her hair was in a complex braid and she wore a cute blouse and overall skirt. I am glad she and Mic-san didn't realise my embarrassment. Since everything happened, I've found myself developing a crush on her.
She was just so amazing, strong, smart, caring and beautiful. I have never met anyone like her, she made me want to smile. She saved me from the grey existence and reached out her hand. She could have saved me and let me be, but she was always reaching out to me. Now I can't imagine not being with her in some way.
I talked about it to Fuyumi, she had smiled and giggled at me. She poked me and said that I was falling for her. After she told me I couldn't help thoughts, I wanted to spend more time with her. I wanted to cuddle with her and kiss her, but if she didn't feel the same… I don't want to lose her, just being her friend was enough.
"You're quiet, are you still nervous?" she asked, I looked to her as she looked concerned.
"A bit…" I stated, scratching my chin. "I just thinking of what to say."
"No matter what you say she will be happy, she loves you." She soothed, I nodded. "You missed her, you're happy to see her, you love her, and she feels the same way. I bet when you see her the words will come."
"You're probably right," I said, as I looked at her, and she smiled.
"Remember I'll be there with you." She added, I blushed and nodded.
"Thanks for all this…" I thanked, she reached over and grabbed my hand.
"I'm your friend, I will always help you when I can." She stated, I blushed harder and she grinned her eyes closed.
"So how is your endurance training going?" I asked she leaned back.
"So far so good, I only take a few breaks when I jog the park now, one halfway, at the end then the halfway back." She answered I smiled. "Shinso-kun joins me a few times, he wants to get into the hero course you know?"
"Oh?"
"Uhuh, his quirk wasn't good for the entrance exam, I never would have guessed the others had the fight robots to get in. Seems kinda tough for those with non-physical quirks. I know Dad got transferred to the hero course when he won the sports festival his first year."
"I didn't know that."
"Yeah, he had to fight Papa, and that's how they first became friends. At the time Papa was top of his class and he was beaten and was kinda in awe."
"Mic-san does have a powerful quirk."
"Yeah, did you know that he is always using it, his quirk is his entire voice, without he can't speak. Luckily Papa knows sign language."
"Does Aizawa-sensei know it too?"
"Yep, and All Might and most of the UA staff. I am still learning it; Papa is still teaching me."
"That sounds like a good skill for any hero to have."
"I know, I asked Dad if it would be a thing taught in the course, he said that it is usually taught at agencies."
"Maybe when you learn you can teach the class."
"That's a great idea! We could use it on team missions and stuff!"
"Yeah, I know I'd like to learn."
"Once I get better, I'll start teaching you, man I can't wait till I'm fluent."
(Yashiro's POV)
We arrived at the hospital and a nurse directed us to her room, we were outside now. Shoto looked nervous, I stood at his side resting a hand on his shoulder. Soon he straightened up and walked forward and reached for the door. After a small hesitation he slide open the door, I saw a white-haired woman sitting on a bed.
"Oh, Shoto." She greeted, he looked frozen again.
"Go on." I urged, he looked to me and reached out for me.
I took his hand and he got his nerves back and led me into the room, the woman looked at us both. She had a fond smile on her face, it was amazing how much Shoto, Fuyumi and Natsuo looked like her. If they all had her pure white hair, they'd be little mini versions of her.
"Hi Mom…" he greeted, she smiled at him.
"Now who's your friend sweetie?" she asked, I bowed to her.
"Pleasure to meet you, my name is Yashiro Aizawa-Yamada I'm Shoto's classmate." I introduced; she gasped her face lighting up.
"You're the one who got him put away, Fuyumi told me about you." She stated, I blushed and nodded. "Thank you so much what you've done for my family."
"It was no problem, Ma'am, I am Shoto's friend and only wanted to help him," I replied, she smiled at me.
"I'm glad to see you both, you've grown so tall Shoto." His mother stated, he nodded still holding my hand. "Fuyumi told me you're attending UA, I'm sure you'll become a great hero like All Might. I remember how much you idealised him when you were little."
"Yeah, he actually teaches us," Shoto stated, she beamed.
"Wow, that's amazing." She chimed. "I bet he is your favourite teacher."
"Actually, I like him and Homeroom teacher the same, my homeroom teacher is Aizawa-sensei he's a strong underground hero," Shoto explained, I smiled, Dad would blush at that.
"Aizawa?" she stated, looking to me.
"He's my one of my Dad's, my other Dad is Present Mic, he teaches at UA too." I chimed, she smiled.
"Wow the daughter of two pro's, I listened to Present Mic radio show a few times. He is a very energetic hero." She stated I smiled.
"Mic-sensei is pretty cool too, he's fluent in Japanese, English and Sign language." Shoto listed, I smiled. "Yashiro is gonna teach me to sign soon."
"That sounds wonderful, such a great skill to have. I can't wait to see you both debut, I bet you will both be amazing."
"You should have seen Yashiro at the festival, she almost beat me in the tournament. She's amazing!"
"Oh wow, what is your quirk dear?"
"Nezu-san calls it The First Quirk; it lets me bring things I think into being," I explained, she looked a bit surprised.
"Wow, I've never heard of that before." She stated.
"Yashiro is the only person to have this quirk, it's how she got into the hero course. She just appeared on campus one day, she came all the way from 2011." Shoto rambled letting go of my hand as he chattered excitedly. "She arrived during the second week of classes; she brought our whole class together. She always ready to help someone, she helped me, she looked after our classmate who injures himself with his quirk. Now she is looking after a General Ed student who wants to be a hero."
"Amazing, you really look up to Yashiro-san, don't you?" she hummed, he nodded eagerly.
"Fuyumi said she recorded the festival for you to watch, you'll see how cool she is!" Shoto continued, I blushed hard, I wasn't used to such praise. "Oh, and my classmate Midoriya his quirk is so strong he could shatter my ice with one finger! Once he gains more control he might be as strong as All Might!"
"Amazing, I can't wait to see, what place did you get?"
"I placed second, our class president and another classmate tied for third."
"Wow, who won first?"
"Our classmate Bakugo, he's super loud and grumpy but he is really strong."
"Katsuki's bark is worse than his bite, he just doesn't get how to show emotions well," I added, he nodded and we chuckled.
"Wow sounds like you have a great class, that's wonderful." she chimed, Shoto nodded. I am so glad this was going so well.
(Later)
"That went so well!" Shoto chimed, I smiled at him as we walked to the station.
"I know, I knew it would," I stated, he spun to me a huge smile on his face.
"I couldn't have done this without you!" he praised and pulled me into a hug. "I'm so glad I met you…"
"Me too," I replied hugging him back. "I'm glad I met everyone here, you all are so important to me."
"Can we become a team?" he asked pulling back, I smiled.
"Yeah, we'll make a great team," I answered, he picked me up and spun me and I giggled.
We spun a bit and he finally set me down, we both were laughing, he had a flush on his face. He reached over and took my hand and beamed at me. I smiled back as we continued our walk to the station. I can't wait for the day he can be like this everywhere. He was such a sweet person; I can't wait till he can laugh and smile like this with the class.
"Let's go for ice cream on the way home." He proposed.
"Sounds great, there are so many flavours I want to try." I chimed.
"Just wait till summer, we will need ice cream every day." He stated I giggled.
"We should try to go swimming as a class, a beach day would be so much fun." I chimed, he grinned.
"We might get kicked off a beach." He joked, I snickered.
"It'd be a fun disaster," I added, he nodded.
"We should go see the Ghibli museum over the summer." He said I light up.
"There is a Ghibli museum!" I exclaimed.
"Yeah, it has statues and pretty fields, I heard they actually have many forest sanctuaries. I went to one when I was little, I remember they had a huge camphor tree. Mom made a picnic that we ate under it, you would love it there." He rambled, that sounded amazing.
"So cool, I want to go so much, that sounds like a literal wonderland!" I cheered, he smiled at me.
"Some of the woods have tanuki and other animal sanctuaries." He stated I light up.
"Wow, Miyazaki's love of nature was able to leave such a nice legacy even after so long. That makes me so happy." I mused; I was worried in this future we lost all the nature.
"You really love nature, don't you?" he asked, I smiled.
"Yeah, I mean I grew up in the countryside, having fields and woods and animals is so great. I mean I get bad allergies but still, I loved to play in nature. It always made me feel mystical like I was a fantasy character. You know there are spirits in nature, like faeries, nymphs, elementals and so much more." I answered I wonder if Papa and Dad can take me to one of the sanctuaries.
"Wow, I never heard of any other that." He stated I smiled.
"I can teach you, a lot of this comes from the folklore of Europe, I know Japan has it's own versions but I still love the legends I grew up with." I rambled, he smiled.
"We can teach each other, I know how much you loved visiting the Temple, maybe we can go visit more." He stated I turned to him smiling.
"I'd love that!"
