little moth

⚘ 2

"Eilir is all cleaned and dried!" Mina bounced back into Koda's room with Eilir in her arms. The entire process seemed painless even with how long it took. The boy simply just sat on a stool and allowed himself to be cleaned, of course after asking his frog guardian if it was okay. Mina was surprisingly happy to help, Koda and her haven't talked much this year  leaving him hesitant to ask her. But seeing how she understood the situation almost immediately, he was overjoyed to have her assist him. Even Eilir appeared to enjoy her company, perhaps it was just due to her horns but he seemed more talkative with her.

Instead of his dirty clothes he was wearing before, a white shirt rested just above his knees with a pair of shorts that luckily Koda washed while Mina bathed him. 

A tiny yawn caught the attention of both teenagers. They resisted the urge to coo as Eilir wrapped his wings around himself to sleep. Curling up in Mina's arms, he allowed slumber to overcome him. 

Delicately placing the boy on a make-shift bed Koda made, the two silently tip-toed into the hallway.

"What do we do with him now?" Mina whisper yelled. Koda thought she'd vanish by now, but much to his surprise she didn't.

Koda fiddled with his phone as he began typing out a response, the talking from earlier really drained his social battery. "Keep him here, maybe tell the others?" His phone spoke for him. A bashful look made his way on his face, he didn't want to be a burden to any of the other students but he felt as if they had the right to know.

The pink-skinned girl squeals at the idea of telling the others. "Yes! I'm sure Sero and Shoji would love him! Not to mention Tsu, oh gosh the boy would probably adore her!" Koda watched with wide eyes as Mina pulled out her phone and began texting people. "We can't tell Mr. Aizawa though, who knows what he'd do if he found out." Koda didn't even think of that. What would Aizawa do? Force the boy into an orphanage? It hasn't even been a full day but a sense of responsibility flooded Koda's mind. The child was too, uh well simple minded, to be anywhere like that.

Koda's fingers swiftly hit the keys on his keyboard as he typed. "What do you think his quirk is?" Mina took a second to register the question before looking up from her phone.

"Hm, I'm pretty sure its something moth related. I mean it would explain how he looks and why he's sleeping during the day." She pointed out. It was true, based off looks alone you could clearly see he was a moth. All of the evidence pointed towards it.

"I texted Sero and Tsu! They'll be here in about an hour or two!"

--------------------

"He really is a moth..."
"Why is there a frog on his head? Kero."
"Wait guys! I think he's waking up! Shhh."

Rolling his shoulders, L/n let out a small yawn as he unwrapped himself from his cocoon. Using a balled fist, he rubbed his eyes before sitting up. Finally feeling slightly more alert, he looked around at the people in front of him.

On the left sat the two nice people from before. He liked the pink one, she was pretty. The tall one was nice too, he fixed his wing. Diverting his attention towards the other two, he paused for a second. "Big Wasabi?" His questioned sleepy as he felt his wings shift.

Tsu glanced at Koda confused before tilting her head. "I'm Tsu." She corrected him, not really understanding what he meant.

Shaking his head, Eilir pulled a small green blob from the top of his head. Holding the frog out for them to see, he repeats the name. "Wasabi."

"Oh! Koda said the frog was like his guardian or something? We aren't too sure. Eilir doesn't really talk too much." Mina clasped her hands as she spoke. It was true, the kid barely says more than two words at a time. He obviously wasn't shy, so maybe he was just more reserved than kids his age.

"Big wasabi." He repeats before crawling into Tsu's lap. Seemingly pleased with himself, he wraps his wings around himself and once again falls asleep.

"Well I guess Tsu is big wasabi now..." Sero said with a nervous chuckle. "I guess we tell the others about him next and work from there?" He rubbed his neck sheepishly as he watched the frog on Eilir's head glare at him.

"That would make the most sense, but shouldn't we see where he came from?" Tsu whispered while cradling the child in her arms. All of the color drained from Koda's face, did he kidnap someone? He was so worried about his wing that he forgot to ask basic details.

Shrugging, Mina leaned back with her arms supporting her weight. "I tried asking him, all he said was he woke up and he suddenly turned all big. He told Koda he didn't have a home so here he is!"

Sero nodded as he scratched his chin, "I guess he can just stay here. When he wakes up, we can introduce him to everyone." He suggests. 

Everyone nodded in agreement, "We should head to our dorms before it gets dark." Tsu says as she gracefully places the boy into his small bed.

--------------------

Popping his head out of his blanket, Eilir looks around the dark room. 'Nice man sleeping. Hungry.' Seemingly understanding the boy, the tiny frog on his head hops down to the floor. Slowly creaking the door open, Eilir follows Wasabi down the dark hallway in search of food. 

His tiny fingers grasp onto the blanket as it drags behind him. He wasn't too scared of being in a new area, after all Wasabi would tell him to leave if it got dangerous. And with his moth characteristics, his hearing was well above a normal range. If someone tried to sneak up on him, he'd be able to hear them before they even got close.

Walking quietly on the cold floor, Eilir's antennas searched for any signs of hostility or emotions. While regular antennas are used for hormones, his were more of emotional indicators. Which worked very well in deciding whether someone was friend or foe.  

He watched as Wasabi disappeared behind a wall, tilting his head in confusion, he followed behind slowly. Looking around at the weird room, he stands in front of what looked to be a door with metal handles. Staring at his reflection in the door, he raises a hand to the cold metallic surface. "Thud, thud, thud." 

'Footsteps?' Turning around, Eilir peaks behind the doorway of the kitchen. Waiting curiously, he sees a pair of feet come into view. Not sensing any hostile motives, he sits on the floor and waits. Maybe this person could work the metal doors. 

Izuku Midoriya, a simple boy just trying to become a hero. He wouldn't label himself as someone who gets scared easily, but we all know he'd definitely does. All he wanted was a simple glass of water, maybe a small snack. After all hunger never sleeps. The last thing he imagined when he turned on the lights was a human size bug sitting on the floor staring up at him. The last thing anyone in the dorms imagined was being woken up by the highest pitch scream they've ever heard in their life at midnight. It really opened their eyes to expecting the unexpected.
