Shoto's pov
"Who's up for games?" Shinso asks from living room, kneeling in front of the stand that the Tv sat above.
"Sure. What have you got?" Midoriya asks, leaning forward on the couch.
"We have a wii and a PS3" Aizawa offers, sitting down in one of the side chairs, legs curled up near her and a new cup of coffee in her hands.
"Really? Those are pretty old game consoles" Iida points out, one hand to his mouth.
"Not everyone has rich parents who can buy new fancy consoles that cost an arm and a leg" Aizawa adds before taking a sip of her coffee with a completely bored look on her face. I sat down in the chair near her, tapping the arm before turning to her.
"Aizawa-" I start but she puts out one hand with a finger placed over my mouth. I stopped talking, looking down at her hand until she pulls it away and holds her cup with both hands again. Her hair fell into her face, obscuring it from my gaze. I turned back to the others where Shinso was handing out controllers for the PS3.
"Todoroki, Tamaki. Wanna play?" he asks. Aizawa shakes her head with no answer.
"I think I'm fine" I reply before curling up into the chair more. Everyone was occupied with the game on screen and the music from the game was occupying the surroudning sound. I turn back to Aizawa. I was about to say something but held off about it. I couldn't be sure anyone else would overhear us talking if I started speaking.
"Um.... Aizawa, could we....go speak somewhere?" I ask in a hushed tone. She breathes heavily but proceeds to stand up from the chair and walk towards the stairs. I hesitate for a moment before following her to her room. She closes the door and sits down in her desk chair. I stay standing for a few seconds before sitting down on the bed.
"What is there to talk about? I won't tell anyone about your.......What happened in the bathroom if that's what you're concerned about" she assures, sipping from her coffee afterwords.
"No. That's not what it is..... Well.... When you said I should see a therapist, how exactly would I go about doing that?" she blinks at me.
"Oh.... um.... well I'm not quite sure. my dads are the ones who began booking my appointments and that was only after my doctor said that they should" She explained, looking down at her coffee.
"Oh...... So you don't book them?"
"Well, you book the first one and then if what is raised is enough for you or your parents if you aren't old enough yet to be concerned about then you book a few more and maybe multiple in a row. I'm pretty sure dad has an entire year booked of psychiatry appointments for me and Tamaki" she explains with a shrug.
"Why? Are you thinking about going to some?"
"I don't know. I don't really want to bring this up to my dad since he probably won't listen"
"What about your mum?"
"She's been in a hospital since she poured the water on my face" I state.
"O-oh.... I.... I didn't realise. I'm sorry....." she mumbles, tugging on a strand of her hair.
"Why are you apologising?"
"Well..... I thought you might..... that it might be.... you know.......... A sore topic" I reach up to my scar and scratch the edge before dropping my hand and looking at the floor.
"Why don't we go downstairs. I think I can hear Hitoshi booting up the wii and chances are he's going to put on just dance. I can't have him beat my record" she explains, walking over to the door of her room and placing her hand on the doorknob. She hesitates before looking at me. I stay seated for a minute before getting up off the bed and walking over. She opens her door at this and waits for me to walk out of the room before leaving herself, closing the door behind her. I look back at her for a second before walking down the stairs to join the others. Just like Aizawa said, Shinso was putting on just dance and handed a remote to her. She took it and the two began dancing to the song they chose. I sat and watched, feeling heat in my face while watching Aizawa. She was really good and the two of them were both keeping up really good scores, constantly stealing the crown from each other. Shinso stole the crown right at the last minute and won the round but I wasn't overly bother by that. I tapped my fingers on my knees, trying to figure out why my stomach felt fluttery and my face hot unlike what happened when I used my fire at the festival.
