A Week. Eraserdust

Choose Your---

It's been a little over a week since Shota and Tomura became a couple. Tomura spent most of his time inside Shota's apartment, cooking and taking care of the cats while the hero worked. Shota often came home to find Tomura sleeping on his bed with the cats surrounding him. Too many feelings happen at once when he sees it.

But today, is Sunday. The only day he doesn't give up, his free day. Sleeping till late. When he woke up, he heard soft cutting from the kitchen. Tomura must be cooking again. A trip to the bathroom woke him up a bit. Smiling when he heard the cats scratching his closed door.

The cats wake up with Tomura and follow him outside for food. So he closes the door, letting me sleep. Opening the door made the cats meow while surrounding him.

"Yes, yes, good morning."

He stroked their heads before walking to the couch where Tomura was.

"Morning."

Shota crawled over the couch to rest his head on Tomura's lab. Shota does things like these a lot, so he has gotten used to it. Though his heart hasn't. And he still freezes up... Okay, he's not used to it. There, I said it. Tomura ran his fingers through Shota's hair.

"Not enough sleep?"

He heard a grumble in response. He continued untangling the black hair with a smile that slowly faded as Shota's breathing slowed down. Once again, he remebered what sensei said. Unlike usual, he met sensei in the secret hospital. Sitting with all those tubes around him.

"Tomura, have you forgotten your purpose?"

Not even a 'hello' and already in business.

"Hello, Tomura."

Ugh...

"No, sensei."

"Really? Cause it seems to me, that you've been having fun with your new little toy."

Toy? Shota isn't a toy.

"Sure he isn't. Tomura, my boy. This is just a phase."

What...?

"Soon enough, you'll realize that your little crush, was nothing but a crush."

No, you're wrong...

"Am I?"

Tomura flinched, sensei was right in front of him.

"You don't love eraser. You can't love anything in your life. What did you do, to the people you loved?"

I, i-

"Stop it, Tenko!"

Sensei took a step back, Tomura covered his mouth but ultimately felled down as his stomach emptied. He heard sensei sigh.

"Your progress has backtracked."

His hair was grabbed before he was lifted.

"Eraser has made you weak. Made you forget your purpose. Tomura, answer me. What. Is. Your. Purpose?"

To... Inherent All for One.

"Good. Why are you alive?"

Because, I'm the only one capable of inheriting it.

"Who do you need to become?"

"... Your successor."

Sensei smiled. Letting my head go.

"Until I have Overhaul's quirk."

Tomura raised his head.

"That's all the time I'll give you. Make your choice."
