Soul Family

Chapter 14

    Aizawa was helping Shinsou and Eri pack  boxes for the new house. Hizashi was the one carrying the box into the moving truck.

"Sho you got the easy job" he whined as he went over to him, leaning his whole weight against Aizawa.

" It's too hot for that, stop" Aizawa groaned but made no attempt to move him. Shinsou watched them with a small smile. He always thought they were sweet, totally different from his other foster parents that fought all the time. It took them less  than four hours to pack up everything and head to the new house. ' geez this is bigger than any other home I've been in' Shinsou thought as he put his bag in his room. Hizashi was frantically making sure everything looks nice as he found places for them to be. It took them a week to settle into the house with school still going on and work. 
    

   The next week Shinsou was walking to school by himself, he didn't like how early Hizashi and Aizawa had to be there. The new house was nice, he didn't realize how much he missed his bed. He wasn't paying much attention since he was taking his normal route but just before the gate he was swarmed by reporters.

"Is it true that you have a family mark with Present mic ?"

" How is it being Present mic son?"

" who does Present Mic feel about having a son with a villains quirk"

"Is he married?" The reporter seemed to say it all at once to him as they closed in a circle around him. He felt his breath hitched and it felt like his heart was in his throat.

" I-I have class p-please let me through " he stumbled on his words as he tried not to panic but his breath started to become irregular. Soon he felt a presence by his side. He glanced as he saw Monoma, who wrapped an arm around him making him flinch.

"Right, sorry. I should have asked if it was okay to touch you. Follow my breathing okay. " he said softly and had him follow a breathing technique before Shinsou relaxed in his hold. Hizashi soon joined them.

"Hi! This is a school now leave. If you have questions come by my radio station " he said as he had a hard look on his face. He went over to check on Shinsou as the reporter started to leave with the help of some teacher escorting them off the ground.

" Are you okay listener? Would you like to head home?" He asked which made Shinsou shake his head no.

" I'd like to stay. I'll be fine " he said, which made Hizashi sigh.

"Okay but let us know if you need anything " Hizashi said as he ruffled his hair before they parted ways to go to class. Monoma walked Shinsou to his class before staying bye. The class day went on, Shinsou still had some trouble focusing after his panic attack. Finally the school day was over and Shinsou felt exhausted but was glad to walk home by himself.

    Once back home Nemuri was already there with Eri. " So kiddos Shouta and Hizashi said they should be back for dinner. They are trying to get control so what happens with report's won't happen again. I wish I could stay but I have work too. Be good, don't burn the house down " she said as he ruffled Shinsou and kissed Eri on the forehead before she left the house. Shinsou felt a little awkward being left alone with her.

"Can we do something nice for them to surprise them?" Eri asked shyly.

"Yes, do you want to make some cookies and maybe dinner? Why don't you change into clothes you don't mind getting messy just in case"Shinsou said as he went to his room and changed into a pair of sweatpants and a plain white shirt. Eri met him in the hallway, she was wearing a tutu and a pink shirt. Going into the kitchen Eri dragged a chair to the counter as Shinsou got out all the ingredients for the cookies.

" while we are baking.  What should we make for dinner?" Shinsou asked as he started to measure out the dry ingredients with Eri's help. Some flour got one there shirts and on the counter as they started to add the wet ingredients in the blender. Eri giggled as flour got on them. 

"Ramen?" Eri suggested since it was something easy and Shinsou agreed. He gave her the bag of chocolate chips to add to the batter. Shinsou got out a cookie sheet and some parchment paper. Once the batter was done, he helped Eri roll the dough into a ball and put them on the cookie sheet.

" Okay now we have to wait twelve minutes. Why don't you watch some tv and I'll put the water in to boil for the Ramen" Shinsou said as he helped Eri off the chair and wiped the flour off their shirt.

"Otay" she said as she ran off to the living room and Shinsou put a pot of water on the stove. He then wiped off the counter and put the dirty dishes in the sink. Shinsou got out a pan and started to fry eggs on it. When the stove timer went off Eri came running into the kitchen " can I eat one?" She asked  Shinsou giving him her puppy dog eyes and pouted her lower lip. He took the cookies out and set them on the counter to cool.

" Once they are cool,  you can," he said, he didn't think one cookie would spoil her dinner besides between both of them they needed to catch up on meals and extra calories. Once the cookies were cold down he put them on a plate. It wasn't long before Aizawa and Hizashi came through the door, they started to take off their boots and hero accessories. 

" daddy! Papa! Me and Toshi made cookies and dinnew" she said as she jumped into Hizashi arms, who looked on the verge of tears at being called Papa.

" Oh, is that what I smell? It smells amazing! " he said as he stood up with her on his hip. "How did you know Ramen is one of my favorites?" he said as he tickled her side, making her giggle. Aizawa went over to Shinsou and started to help him put the Ramen in the bowl.

" Thank you for dinner" Aizawa said as he helped set the bowls on the table and they all sat down to eat after washing up. " Yes, it was a nice surprise to come home to dinner already made," Hizashi added.

"So I did a small Q and A at my station and what happened today won't happen again. Normally we try to keep our private lives to ourselves but it seemed like we didn't have a choice" Hizashi explained as they ate.

" it's fine I overreacted" Shinsou mumbled as he shoved a chopstick full of noodles in his mouth.

" No, it's not fine. They crowded you and caused you to have a panic attack" Aizawa said and Shinsou nodded. Hizashi got up once they were done eating and started to do the dishes. Shinsou went over to help but got shooed away.

" nope it's only fair that I clean up since you cooked. How about you guys start a movie and I will join you when I'm done here" Hizashi suggested as Eri grabbed the plate of cookies and put them on the coffee table so they could get them. Shinsou sat beside Aizawa on the couch as Eri picked out Lion King to watch. Soon Hizashi could be heard singing about to A Circle of Life from the kitchen, he then joined them when he was done with the dishes. ' I'm glad I found them and they accepted me in their family' he thought. He didn't think he would ever find his family after years of being told he was unloved. He could feel his eyes grow heavier as he watched the movie.

"I love you all " he mumbled just before he drifted to sleep as he laid his head on Aizawa's shoulder.
