Gravity Calls - EraserJoke

016

1 Week Later...

The day only started, Emi can already find herself wandering around the hospital like any other day. She suppose she should-knowing she hadn't visit the hospital for a whole week due to the change Ketsubutsu High did to her teaching schedule since the students are having their final exam any time soon.

Walking her way to room 246-like any other day-only to stop and turn around midway pretenting she was planning to reach Kaneko's-which she did-the whole time. Emi sighed as she stared from afar-stood a women by Aizawa's bed, stroking his hair back like she did. Emi squinted her eyes in hope for a better look. The woman, she sure is much older than him-but beautiful. She's tall for a women-about six foot tall if she didn't bent over to reach Aizawa-although Emi wasn't sure if she got heels on.

When did he start getting visitors? Emi thought.

Outside room 246 was Hizashi Yamada-sitting on a bench with his legs crossed. It's strange to see him without the hero costume on, Emi thought. She hesitated to come greet him. First, knowing that-like Aizawa-he didn't seem to enjoy being around her very much despite their similarities in being 'loud'. Second, he's too close to Aizawa's room and there's a see-through area on the door which means he'd likely notice her around. Despite, she head out of her hiding spot all the way to the blond-haired man.

"Hello Hizashi," Emi muttered as she sat beside him casually-trying her best not to make a scene. Hizashi's eyes widen. Emi Fukukado is alive? He thought-not that there's any rumor about her death, only cause they haven't seen each other so long he forgot she existed. "Emi?" Hizashi squinted his eyes trying to have a better look of Emi without his glasses on. 

Emi warmly turned a soft smile, "It's been so long, I'm surprised to see you here." Hizashi squinted his eyes. He sighed then slowly punched Emi's shoulder-pissed, "It has been so long you didn't even bother to visit, I thought you're dead for some reason." Emi chuckled as she rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly. 

"So you're visiting Eraser?" she uttered as she crossed her legs together. Hizashi hummed-it's obvious really, she couldn't think why she'd ask him in the first place. "I've never seen you come before," Emi muttered slowly with a hint of disappointment, looking down. Hizashi out of everybody, should've been the one visiting Shota the most, She thought. If he did, Emi wouldn't even bother to know who's all lying by himself in room 246 when she first decided to visit-which she didn't regret for most parts. 

Hizashi sighed as he stretched his arms out-forming a faint smile on his face. "So my dead-looking friend is actually dying, huh?" he uttered. Although it was a rhetorical question, Emi sighed-she hated how everyone lost hope so quickly. Ignoring the thing Hizashi said, Emi asked-turning her eyes to Hizashi who's now playing with his fingers, "Who's the woman inside?"

"Shota's mum," he replied deadpan as if it was a normal thing. Emi raised an eyebrow confused. Shota has a mother? She thought.
