All Tangled Up

Chapter 5

Aiko wasn't worried because Eraserhead had gotten free; in fact, she had left a handcuff key attached to the weight and made the wall incomplete on purpose. She didn't want to permanently trap him there, she just wanted time to get away from him. Aiko was worried, however, about how sexually suggestive this situation looked. She was red and out of breath, there was an entire table missing, and she didn't want to look to verify, but she was sure All Might was still hard. It took less than a second for Aizawa to gather enough context clues to glare at her angrily. Aiko held the folder to her chest, looking down at the floor as she hurriedly walked towards the door, turning the table back to its original form as she left. She stopped in the hallway after the door closed, looking both ways to find Recovery Girl, but the short nurse was nowhere to be found. Maybe she started walking absentmindedly while talking on the phone, Aiko thought. She was about to start searching for her tour guide when she heard voices from inside the teacher's lounge. The men assumed that Aiko was far gone because of how quickly she left the room and started conversing, not realizing she could hear them. 

"Did you enjoy yourself, All Might? I hope you did because that was the last time you will ever touch her." Aiko could hear the jealousy and anger in Eraserhead's voice. All Might chuckled darkly.

"I don't care how many times you tell me that I can't have her. You are driving her away all on your own; I won't have to do anything to get her to choose me. I can see the red marks on your wrist. She restrained you didn't she? I guess she thought you were just too repulsive to be free." All Might continued to laugh at Eraserhead's silence. Aiko had to be honest, All Might was funny and he had a point. If Eraserhead really liked her, he was going about it all wrong. 

"I obviously wasn't the only one that she used her quirk on. There's a giant pole there now and when I walked in, one of the tables was missing. She hasn't been succumbing to your advances either." Eraserhead scoffed. Shit, she would have to remove that pole first thing in the morning. As far as Aiko knew, she was the only staff member who could have put it there and she didn't want any unnecessary questions. She was planning to continue to eavesdrop when she heard footsteps coming down the hallway. Aiko walked towards them, turning the corner and almost running into Recovery Girl. She was relieved that Recovery Girl was back but she didn't want her to come close to that door, fearing she would hear the two teachers arguing over her.

"Oh, hello dear. I'm sorry for being gone so long. My student ran into a problem that she can't solve herself even though I tried to help her over the phone. I'm going to have to cut our tour short but I can still point out important buildings before we have to part ways on the path." Recovery Girl smiled warmly at her and Aiko nodded quickly, eager to leave this building. The pair walked along the path, making small talk about the other teachers before Recovery Girl stopped to point out some buildings that Aiko would need to know about. 

"That is the main stadium and next to it is the smaller stadium. You will probably use the smaller stadium more often with your classes. The smaller one has a gym that students use during school hours but it is open for teachers outside of those times. This is where I will have to leave you. It was lovely meeting you, my dear." Recovery Girl waved and started walking down the path that led to the hospital. Aiko smiled back at her and turned in the opposite direction, towards the teacher's apartment building. She had a mess to clean up in the hallway and an information packet to read so she wasted no time getting home. Thankfully there wasn't anyone in the lobby that she had to interact with. Opening the door to her hallway, Aiko took in the aftermath of her "match" with Eraserhead. She didn't know what to call it and didn't want to think about it anymore. These men were so confusing and it angered her that they treated her like some prize that they could win. She rearranged the atoms in the wall, turning it back into a marble. She repeated the same process for the weight and put both marbles in her pocket. When she reached her door, she noticed a note attached to it that read "I enjoyed our little game this morning, kitten. I look forward to winning the next one." Aiko angrily tore the note off the door and crumpled it, throwing it to the ground. She would pick it up later, she was too mad now. She unlocked the door to find Oberon waiting for her. She picked him up, closing the door behind her.
