The Fallen (Aizawa x OC)

Ch 44 - Development

Mitsu walked out of Recovery Girl's room buzzing with nervous excitement and a small plastic bag in her hand. Aizawa was waiting and leaning against the wall, scrolling through his phone. He'd been trying to contact Hawks to let him know about the engagement, and he wanted to do it in person if possible. He kept asking the younger pro when he was free. But he rarely got a response, and if he did, it would always be along the lines of, 'I'll let you know when I'm free,' but this has been the case for over a month now.

"Uhm... You wanna head back home now Sho?"

Aizawa looks up and smiles at his fiancé, but then notices her odd behavior. She's fiddling with her shirt and not facing up at me. For a split second he's overly concerned, worried that she has some sort of terrible medical condition. But then he notices her blushing face and tight smile, as if she's trying to hold back how happy she is and decides to be patient. He chuckles, the beautiful sound melting Mitsu's heart. AHHH DO I TELL HIM NOW?! No... this has to be special. Tomorrow I'll set up a date for us! I can take him on a picnic or something sweet like that.

"Yeah, let's head home. I was thinking today or tomorrow we can have Kiyoomi, Hitoka, and Hajime's favorite foods. Kenma texted saying that they're really bummed about their final, especially the two boys."

"It can't be helped... their match-ups were terrible for them, and from what I heard, they performed amazingly," Mitsu simply states, already knowing that her kids are already well beyond the skills of others their age, so she isn't too concerned about the test results.

Aizawa simply hums in response and decided to ask as he stretches his arm to take the plastic bag from Mitsu, "What's in the bag?"

Mitsu squeals and clutches the bag close to her chest, causing the contents to rattle, "Nothing! Don't worry, I-I can carry it!"

The ravenette just blinks down at her and smiles, putting his hands up in surrender, "Just offering sweetheart, I know you don't need me to do anything for you."

The female blushes in embarrassment from her overexcited reaction to his simple gesture and grabs Aizawa's hand with her free one, "Let's just go."

The walk back home was relaxing and mostly Aizawa talking, surprisingly. She wanted his opinion on her kid's exams, and wanted a lot of feedback about Kiyoomi. Mainly because she wanted to know what he needed to work on in terms of his weapon use, it's been a really long time since she'd trained him after all.

"His weapon of choice against my short-sword was good, but there was a discrepancy between the dexterity of his right and left arm. He definitely hid it well by using his longer blade on his right, and shorter on his left. But I think if he could use the blades interchangeably in each hand, his attack and defense options will greatly increase. What other weapons can he use?"

Mitsu hums and ponders the question for a bit, "It's been a while since I've done weapon training with Kiyoomi, so I'm not sure if he's trained more on his own or not. I know he wanted to improve with throwing weapons, and Tobio was helping him with that before he left, since that's my weakest area." She taps her chin a couple times before continuing, "He shines when using long ranged melee weapons, like a naginata, but he probably thought he couldn't use it against you because of your capture weapon. I wonder why he didn't just use his tanto against you, he's pretty good with it."

"He probably thought it'd be ineffective against me since I'm significantly faster than him and have faster blade technique."

Mitsu halts at the doors in front of their building, "Huh? Kiyoomi's the fastest out of all of them, I'm pretty sure he's faster than you Sho."

Aizawa chuckles and opens the door and tries to gently guide her inside, "You've never seen me go all out before Mitsu."

Mitsu doesn't budge from her spot, and Aizawa has half a mind to just pick her up, "You didn't go all out during my interview?"
