Heroes to Gods

We Went Home To Her

The morning air was still, it was almost summer and there weren't any clouds in sight. It had been the first time in forever that I had slept in and was late to class. I had spent the night before frantically awake due to some overwhelming fear of something I couldn't put into words. It's almost like my body was preparing myself for something without me knowing. I brushed it off and tried my best to rush through my morning routine, skipping steps and multitasking. I didn't have any time for breakfast or to work out so while brushing my teeth I did my lunges and while getting dressed I lifted my weights as best I could. Then rushed out to the main building to get in my cardio.

When I walked into the classroom as Aizawa was walking out he glared at me the way he did anyone who came in late but he hadn't scolded me, he looked too much in a rush to do so. I took my seat behind Kacchan and poked at his back. The room was quiet but I could feel the tension of excitement. "Did Mr. Aizawa say we were having another training session with class 1-b?"

"Touch me again and ill snap your fingers off. No, we've got a new extra being added to the class." he hadn't turned back to look at me and before I could ask a follow-up question Mr.Aizawa had returned. The new girl following close behind him I couldn't see her face. Even when she reached the podium in front of the board his body shielded her from our view. So I slouched my body into my chair and waited for him to introduce her. I wasn't too thrilled about a new student, not in a mean way I just didn't think it mattered, and it was extremely sudden. As he began, I found myself wandering, looking out the window, only half listening to what he had to say about why she was joining our class late. The entire night before and even this morning my body itself felt weak giving off a warning-like sensation. I was sort of uncomfortable in my own skin and I tried to drown it out as best I could. Ignoring what he had to say but still hearing his words. It wasn't until her name that I found myself in a state of shock. "So without any more rambling. Iida and Yaoyarozo, as class reps it's your responsibility that she is caught up and well taken care of. From this day forward she is your newest class and teammate, Kaiako Amaji."

Kaiako Amaji. Aiko? No, it can't be. It was as if the world came to a halt and all the air around us had vanished. The moment Aizawa stepped to the side revealing her, almost in unison, Kacchan and I have lifted off our seats. Kacchan having the same reactions as I did slam his hand onto my chest, gripping my shirt as if he was losing his balance. We hadn't taken our eyes off her and neither of us could actually move. It feels like we were stuck on her for years before he finally broke the trace and sent the world into orbit once more.

Her eyes had locked themselves onto ours.

"Fuck, Fuck. No fucking way." Kacchan's voice was a whisper but I could hear him as if he were yelling.

"Kacchan" I imitated his own tone. Fumbling as I tried to step forward but my body unable to send the signals.

"No fucking way-"

"Kacchan, it's her."

"No Fucking way'

"Kacchan."

"No fuc-"

"Hi Boys." the sound of gargling honey pooled out from her lips and we were launched. My hand griping Kacchan's that was still glued to my shirt we leaped at her. We went home to her.
