"Emi-san, where were you yesterday?" asked Kaneko squinting his eyes, "I thought it's your day off." Emi scratched the back of her neck awkwardly. Should she explain what happened to Aizawa and how she stayed there all night? She don't think so. But lying to Kaneko isn't an option. She vowed to treat him like the great boy he is.

"I was visiting the patient next door," is all she said-enough for Kaneko to reply with a teasing smile, "You mean your boyfriend?"

"I mean my friend," Emi giggled as she sat on a chair next to his bed. Kaneko sit up, facing Emi with his leg crossed. "Actually I planned for you to meet him today, if you want to of course," Emi continued, "I asked the nurse for permission, she agreed."

Kaneko's eyes widen as he's about to jump off his bed excitedly. "Me? Meeting your hero friend?!" Emi turned a soft smile. "Watch out, Emi-san," Kaneko smirked, "He'll be my friend more than he's your friend." Emi's eyes widen dramatically, with a villain-like tone she said, "How dare you?" as she tickled the boy continuously until he fakingly beg for mercy.

"Have you get him the flower, Emi-san?" As she thought of it, Emi realized she haven't. "I never really thought of it," she muttered. "Emi-san!" Kaneko yelled, "Why didn't you?" Emi giggled awkwardly.

"Can I give it to him later?" he asked politely turning a soft smile. Emi nodded, "I'll get some later."

Emi knocked at the door of room 246-Aizawa's a few time before the man turned his eyes to her in approval. Behind her stood Kaneko pulling the edge of her shirt awkwardly as they walk in to the room. Aizawa didn't notice the boy coming in until he's standing close enough to him.

The vent is off. Aizawa wouldn't let Emi see the process as he was in a lot of struggle. He's currently wearing the normal breathing mask he's been wearing since the very day they meet. Aizawa opened it as Kaneko gave him the lilies he's holding. Emi's eyes widen worriedly but Aizawa nodded in reply-telling her he's alright.

"You must be Kaneko, it's nice meeting you," Aizawa said as he politely accepted the flowers with both his hands. His voice were raspier than Emi remembered it was, but he seems like he's handling it much better.

"Nice to meet you too hero-san," Kaneko uttered as he didn't know his name. Aizawa giggled in reply. "Please, call me Shota, he replied as he laid a hand on the boy's tense shoulder. Seems like he's starstruck just being able to see a hero eye-to-eye although he didn't know much about Aizawa as he's an underground hero.

"Shota-san, It's Emi-san's favorite," he's talking about the flower, "she said it's one of the longest to whither." Aizawa turned a soft smile, "They're beautiful, he replied.

"Right?" he replied excitedly, "It's my favorite too! I said the exact same thing when I first seen it."

"You've got great taste, Neko-chan."

Aizawa cracked a dry cough which leaves him no choice but to pull back the breathing mask. Emi held his hand in support.

"Neko-chan, why don't you tell Shota about your hero action figure collection?" said Emi. Aizawa turned Emi a soft smile as he patted her hand thankfully by his breath got too short for him to keep up with Kaneko's excitement.

"Do you want me to Shota-san?" he asked, "I've got plenty." Aizawa nodded. He took a deep breath before saying, "All the time is yours."

Kaneko jumped to the door excitedly. As he held the doorknob about to leave the room he said, "I'll get it from my room!" Aizawa smiled as Emi tried reaching her hand to Kaneko who's out of arm reach as she worriedly yelled, "Be careful, don't go running around, Neko-chan!"

Kaneko went to his room jumping excitedly as he sung, "All the time is mine," out of tune, repeatedly.
