X - "Childish"

Kaminari

Mina jumped onto my back as we, the Bakusquad and Dekusquad, walked around the open mall.

"Congrats on your B+, Denki!" she yelled, jumping off of me and ruffling my hair. We had just gotten our grades sent to us over e-mail and Mina was informed by our dear Bakugou of my score.

"Thanks," I smiled softly. I watched the purple-haired boy in front of me as he talked and walked with his younger sister.

They held hands as they walked, Eri swinging their hands together. Shinsou didn't seem to mind his younger sister's action, though it did seem like he was against it.

Eri turned back to look at me and Mina, who was apparently talking to me.

Eri stopped walking, which made her brother pause as he noticed the horned girl stop.

"Pikachu," Eri said. She held out her free left hand, telling me to take it without saying so.

Of course, I obliged.

No one can say no to a kid asking you to walk hand in hand with them... Unless you really hate kids, in which case I can't relate to you.

Mina glared at me as she noticed I was ignoring her every word and huffed, turning her attention to someone else from the group we were walking with.

Eri pointed at some toy store and pulled Shinsou and I into it. We told the rest of the group to go on without us and that we'll just stay back to entertain Eri.

"We'll see you guys later, then!" Sero and Mina waved to us, the rest of the group waved too as they turned and kept on with their search for teenager stuff rather than child stuff.

Eri let go of our hands and ran up ahead, making the two of us follow her lead as she looked through Barbie's and Disney Princess dolls.

"Eri remember, Dad only allowed me to get you 5 toys," Shinsou informed his sister, who nodded, "and make sure it's not too expensive."

Eri nodded once again as she looked over the dolls she liked.

We kept moving after she picked out a baby Cinderella doll.

*if you don't know what a baby Disney Princess doll is... just google it. I had an Ariel one when I was a kid and I loved her

Eri kept on walking, looking over dolls, toys, plushies, and even lego sets.

She paused in front of a plushie and wore a wide smile. She took the plush and showed it to us.

"It's LeMillion!" she called. I shared her smile with her as she held onto the plush, the cape going over her arms, "my hero," she whispered.

Ah yes...

Togata-senpai.

He was signed on by Sir Nighteye's agency right after he got his quirk back. From what Midoriya said, Bubble Girl and Centipeder were eager to take Togata back on when he contacted them.

He quickly became a crowd favorite and climbed to rank 7 in record timing, becoming the first person to reach the top 10s under the age of 20.

"You really do like LeMillion, huh?" I asked. Eri nodded frantically and repeatedly as she put the plushie into the handheld cart Shinsou was holding for her.

"He's amazing!" she called out, Shinsou scolding at her to quiet her voice, to which she whispered a sorry, "he helped me."

I smiled softly and nodded. I looked over the plushies myself and grabbed a plushie of Alolan Raichu I haven't seen before.

I dropped it into the same cart and Shinsou looked up from it at me.

"Don't you think this is too childish? Even for you," he asked as Eri continued her browse through the plushie section.

"Of course not," I looked to the side in a fake look of betrayal and disbelief, "you can never have too much Pikachu in your life."

Shinsou groaned and walked on ahead as Eri moved to a different aisle.

"I have too much Pikachu in my life, that's for sure," he grumbled to himself.

Probably wasn't supposed to have heard that one...
