Soul Family

Chapter 13

The past couple of days Shinsou stayed to himself, he didn't want to take time away from Eri so she could bond with Hizashi and Aizawa. Shinsou woke up and folded the blanket he used before he got ready for the day. He got a text 'good morning, are we still good to meet at the park at noon? Don't worry about eating lunch,' Monoma texted.

'Yes we are. See you soon then' Shinsou sent back as he went into his room quietly, Eri was still asleep as she was cocooned in the blanket with a unicorn plushie in her arms. Shinsou grabbed his ripped skinny jeans and a gray shirt before going to the bathroom. He showered and changed in his clothes before drying his hair with a towel. He went to the kitchen where Aizawa was slumped over a cup of coffee as the cats ate. Hizashi was making some pancakes.

"Good morning listener are you going out?" He asked, noticing that Shinsou was already dressed.

" I was going to meet with Monoma for lunch " he said as he felt his cheeks heat up. "Oh that sounds like fun." Hizashi said with a wink as Eri soon joined them still in her pjs and messy hair. Shinsou grabbed his own cup of coffee and Hizashi started to make a plate for everyone before putting the plates on the table. Since it was still morning, the conversation at the table was quiet. Shinsou helped Hizashi clean up before scrolling through his phone and petting Cheeto in the living room as Eri watched some cartoons.

When it was time to go Shinsou slid on his sneakers and Eri ran up to him, hugging his legs which made him tense in surprise. It surprised him how she seemed to warm up to him despite him trying to keep his distance. " bye bye " she said before going back into the living room.

"Bye text us when you are on the way back " Hizashi said as he looked up from his laptop. "Okay bye" Shinsou said before he left. The walk to the park was short and he spotted Monoma under a shady tree. He had a blanket laid out on the ground with different food and snacks.

"Hi I'm glad you could come. I wasn't sure what you liked so I had some sushi or ham, pepperoni or cheese with crackers. I also have some fruit and cookies. It's a little much but I wanted to make sure we all had something we liked " Monoma rambled as he rubbed the back off his neck. Shinsou tried not to smile. Monoma seems a lot different when he's not around others. He was surprisingly sweet.

"Thank you, you didn't have to get all that. I'm not too picky, " Shinsou said as they settled on the blanket.

"Nonsense I wanted to. " Monoma said as he grabbed some sushi himself as Shinsou went for the pepperoni, cheese and crackers. They ate in silence for a while but it wasn't awkward.

"So you seemed down this week, is everything okay?" Monoma asked as he put his trash in a bag in the basket. Shinsou stayed quiet, he knew people at school already saw the family mark knowing that Shinsou was now Hizashi and Aizawa's son.

" It's silly. It's just Aizawa and present mic brought home a little girl that had a matching family mark. What if they get rid of me " he mumbled as he bit his lip.

"They would be crazy to do that. I know I just see you guys interact at school but you can tell they love you. You know they say a four leaf clover is the luckiest. " Monoma said before he started to clean up the trash. They laid back on the blanket to watch the clouds.

"Thanks, that makes me feel better, " he said as he pointed out a cloud that looked like a cat. They watched the clouds for a while before they decided to leave. Monoma packed up the blanket
and grabbed Shinsou's hand. "Let me walk you home," he asked as Shinsou agreed. The walk was short and Monoma let go of his hand.

" We should do this again, see you at school " he said as he pecked Shinsou on the cheek before leaving quickly. "We should. bye " he said as he blushed and touched his cheek, it still felt tingling from the peck. He went in and took off his shoes. He noticed the house was quiet and that Aizawa seemed to be the only one there.

"Where is everyone?" He asked as Aizawa welcomed him home. " They went to get some food for dinner," he said, going back to grading papers.

Shinsou groaned as he sat down on the couch across from Aizawa.

" Does the soulmate mark really matter? What if I'm not good enough for them." Shinsou blurted without thinking, it's been bothering him all day.
Aizawa has been hearing the gossip around school that Monoma and Shinsou had the same mark.

"I think they matter, they are your other half but you don't have to do anything you don't want to. You could start off as friends and go from there." Aizawa told him as he looked up from his papers and Shinsou seemed to hold onto his every word.

" Okay thanks" he mumbled as he bit his lip and pulled his knees to his chest as he thought. Aizawa went back to grading the papers "I should've warned you about loud blondes earlier" he said dead serious which made Shinsou laugh. " hypocrite"

After dinner Hizashi brought up that they found a house. "We found a four bedroom house that I think we all would like. They said we could move in sometime this week. You kids can decorate your room however you want, "Hizashi said as Eri bounced in excitement. " Really I wanna paint my room pink please and can we add lots of unicorns?" She asked.

"You sure can! Do you have any plans for your room Hitoshi?" Hizashi asked as Aizawa leaned into his side as the tv played in the background. "I don't know probably gray" he said, which made Hizashi pout.

" Aw come on, you beee some fun colors" he said dramatically which made Shinsou think some more. " Maybe light purple as a trem" Shinsou added.

"Ignore him. We will decorate your room however you want. "Aizawa said.

"Okay cool" Shinsou smiled a little. It felt more real that they would keep him if they were letting him decorate his own room. ' I guess Monoma was right, a four leaf clover is lucky. I'm lucky to have found them' he thought as he felt content being around them.
