Shinso x Reader

Chapter 2

Small trigger warning for this chapter, mentions of r@p!$t$. It's only briefly said one time, but I wanted to make sure to put a warning just in case. I'll also put a warning at the top of the paragraph where it's located.

It was now Thursday night, with Aizawa, Hizashi, Shinso, and you sitting around the table in your dining room. You were quietly sitting, listening to what Shinso had to say about his classes and training. Then he looked over your way and asked, "So, Y/n, what's your quirk?"

You swallowed the food that was in your mouth and answered, "It's called Jaguar. Basically I can turn into a big, black jaguar. I have heightened senses such as hearing and sight" you put down your fork and hold up your hand, "as well as large, sharp teeth and retractable claws that I keep even when I'm not using my quirk." You unsheathed your claws from their place inside your fingertips and slightly curled up one side of your upper lip to show Shinso your fangs. "It's also why my skin has this pattern." You gestured to your face as you explained.

"That's pretty cool" He looked over at your dads, "Can they use it so I can see?"

Aizawa thought for a moment, and looked over at your living room before responding. "Only if they want to, but I see no problems with it."

Hizashi chimed in, "Yeah! Let my favorite little listener show off their CRAZY cool quirk!"

All three of them looked towards you. You nodded your head and said, "Sure, but I want to see your quirk in action too, Shinso."

You walked over to the middle of your living room, which was more open than the dining room, and used your quirk. You saw Shinso's eyes go wide, and heard him mutter, "They weren't kidding when they said 'big'" Even quieter he mumbled, "I really want to pet them." After hearing this, you blinked a couple of times and walked over to Shinso. He gave you a questioning look as you sat down on your hind legs, so that your head came up to the middle of his chest. Then, you stared at his hand, and back at his face, and back at his hand. You did this several times, and when he didn't get the message, you looked over at your dads and let out a huff. They perfectly understood what you were trying to do, and Aizawa said to Shinso, "They want you to pet their head. Try scratching under their chin, too."

A look of understanding crossed over Shinso's face, and he held his hand out in front of your face, giving you the opportunity to say no in case your mind had changed at the last minute. You used your nose to push his hand up and onto the top of your head. He started scratching behind your ears with both hands, because your head was so large. He gave you a half smile and used one hand to scratch underneath your chin. As you started purring, he smiled even wider.

"You really are just like a big cat, aren't you" he muttered to himself as he continued to give you the attention that you wanted.

Unbeknownst to either teen, both Aizawa and Present Mic were taking pictures and videos of the pair, with the former setting the one he deemed to he the best as his lock screen photo, and the latter sending out the evidence to the teacher's group chat for all the UA faculty to see.

After a few minutes, Shinso pulled his hands away and said, "You wanted to see my quirk in action, correct?"

You had deactivated your quirk, and were in your normal form as you responded, "Yeah, I'd love to. It's brainwashing, right? How does it work?"

"Basically, if a person answers a question, then I can brainwash them to do anything I say. However, it can't be something that requires an extensive thought process, such as language translation. It also has to be my real voice, so it doesn't work if I try to use a loudspeaker or microphone to brainwash someone" he explained as the four of you sat down around the table once again. He looked at Aizawa and asked, "Can I use you as an example?"

Aizawa nodded and said, "Go ahead, just don't make me do anything too stupid."

Shinso activated his quirk and a blank look came over Aizawa's face, his eyes clouding a white color and focusing on nothing in particular. He looked at the other two people in the room and said, "Any requests?"

A smirk spread over Present Mic's face as he said, "Have him sing Single Ladies by Beyoncé and do the dance at the same time."

Shinso smirked a little and said, "He's going to absolutely kill me in training tomorrow but it'll be so worth it to see this."

The three of you spent the next several minutes howling with laughter as Aizawa danced and sang. When he was done, Shinso released him from his quirk's hold. Then, Aizawa said, "I'm going to need a nap after you go home, Shinso" with a huff.

You turned to Shinso and said, "So with your quirk, if there's a situation, like a bank robbery, where multiple hostages are held at gunpoint, with their lives being threatened, you can come in and be like 'what's your favorite color?' And if the bank robbers are like, 'what the fuck? What are you talking about?' You can use your quirk to make them safely return the victims and turn themselves in, completely diffusing the situation in minutes and saving multiple lives almost instantly, all with the power of your voice? Dude, that's SO cool!!" You said with your eyes shining in excitement.

Shinso, not expecting your reaction, stuttered out, "U-uh, pretty much yeah. Thank you Y/n" with a slight blush on his cheeks from the compliment.

(Tw for this paragraph) You then turned towards your dads with your once cheery face now holding an angry expression and said, "You mean to tell me that Hitoshi Shinso, with arguably one of the most powerful quirks out of everyone," you slowly began to rise out of your seat, "probably all of the people that I have ever met, who can completely solve a life-or-death situation in 30 seconds, who could so easily put the majority of the world's most dangerous killers, r@pists, abusers, power-hungry monsters, who have no regard for human life, behind bars where they can't traumatize anyone else for the rest of their lives, for good." You were fully standing now, with your hands placed on the table in front of you, holding you up. "YET HE'S NOT IN THE GODDAMN HERO COURSE?! MAKE IT MAKE SENSE DADS!! MAKE IT MAKE SENSE" you yelled out. Shinso was taken aback, never having had someone stand up for him like you were doing now. You lowered your voice after your outburst directed at your shocked fathers. "That stupid entrance exam is extremely biased against those with physical quirks, and heavily favors those who can cause the most destruction during the test. Shinso should be in my class. Yet he's stuck in the General Studies course because the school board can't pull their heads out of their asses and see that having a quirk that makes you physically powerful isn't necessarily better than one that's a mental ability." You turned to make eye contact with Shinso, "Had the test been more fair, you would most definitely have a level playing field with the rest of us who's quirks are more body-oriented, and you would have been in the Hero Course along with me." Sighing, you sat down again and dejectedly apologized, "Sorry, for yelling at you guys" you said, gesturing to your dads. "Being discriminated against based on something you have control over is something that really gets me riled up and makes it hard to control my temper" you explained to Shinso, who was listening intently to everything you had to say. "But I'm not going to apologize for what I said. The system the school uses is wrong, and desperately needs to change." You spoke with fierce determination in your eyes, driving your point home further to the three men sitting around you.

"Thanks for showing us your quirk and having dinner with us, Shinso, but I think I'm going to finish up some homework and then go to sleep. Goodnight" you said as you put your dishes in the sink and headed up the stairs towards your bedroom.

You sighed as you picked up where you had left off on Ectoplasm's math assignments and spent the next 45 minutes doing the work as quickly as possible so that you could sleep. You were emotionally exhausted from the night's conversation, and were eager to go to bed. However, your wishes had to wait until you were done with all the schoolwork you had been assigned across your six classes.

A/n: Hey! I get that this is kind of an awkward place to end this chapter. Thanks for reading this far into the story, I really appreciate all the comments I get, and I love talking with you guys. Constructive criticism is more than welcome, as well as any suggestions for the story, or if you just want to say hi! Happy reading!
