Chapter 27

He had zoned out, due to shock. He snapped back into focus when Denki spoke to him. "I don't know. They can't be far behind." He answered before standing up and walking to Eri. He gave her a hug, before asking her where his dads were.

"They're over by the other park, waiting for me to play before they take me back home and start looking for you and Mr. Denki again." She answered, giving her big brother a tight squeeze.>

Kami looked at Hitoshi, "As happy as I am to see Eri, I think we need to leave. Like you said, they aren't far behind her...">

"No!" She exclaimed, hugging Denki and holding onto him. "They keep looking for you. We're all worried, but it makes them stressed and tired. I miss you, Mr. Denki. And you, Toshi. Please come back," she cried, tears spilling from her eyes.>

Denki cursed under his breath, "What do we do?">

Shinsou stood, frozen in place and wide-eyed. "I don't- I don't know." He muttered.>

Aizawa had been talking with Mic, when he realized Eri wasn't anywhere near the park, and instead going into the wood line. He tugged on Hizashi's sleeve, motioning for him to follow as he went after Eri.>

A tear slid down Shinsou's cheek. "I'm sorry Denks... I can't do this anymore." He ran towards the direction Eri had come from, running into his dads and giving them both a tight hug. "I-I'm s-sorry!" He shouted, tears pouring from his eyes.>

Shota was caught by surprise, before hugging Hitoshi tightly with tears in his eyes.>

"I'm sorry for r-running away. I shouldn't have done it. It was stupid and selfish. I hurt you both and Eri. I'm so sorry." He sobbed, crying harder.>

He held onto his son and husband tightly, "It's okay, Shinsou. As long as you're safe, and back with us.">

"S-so, you're not mad?" He asked, confused as he buried his face into his dad's side.>

Mic chimed in, "No, we're not mad. We were scared, and we're a bit frustrated, or at least I am, but that's not anger. I think we're just both glad to have you back." He realized something, "Wait- is Kaminari with you?..">

He froze. "Well, yeah he was... But, he wasn't ready to leave yet and I missed everyone so... I left." He explained quietly.>

Just then, Kaminari burst through the bushes, "Hitoshi, you can't just up and run off like that. What if you-" He stopped short, whispering, "Shit.">

"Sorry," he mumbled. "You can still leave while you have the chance. Just go. You don't have to come with me." He told Denki, walking over to him.>

He sighed, his heart pounding, "I told you before. Twice to be exact. Tell me when you're ready to go back. You didn't have to stay with me." He added, "I'm not going to run off again... I'd miss you too much. Besides, even if I did try to run..." He glanced at Aizawa who had his quirk ready, before finishing, "I'm pretty sure they'd get me anyways...">

He nodded slowly, turning to his dads. "If we come back with you, I don't want you to put Denki back in the hospital. It's not helping. It won't ever help. If you try to take him back, or put him in a mental rehab center, we'll leave again." He declared, eyeing both of his fathers.>

Mic had tears pricking at the corner of his eyes, "Sho... I don't think we have a choice. I want our son and student back.">

Aizawa sighed. "Fine... Just, come back. Please." He pleaded.>

Denki groaned, "Our classmates are gonna be all over us..." He looked over at his teachers, "I'm assuming canceling any further therapy appointments is a no-go?">
