Problematic kitten

Chapter 14

Present Mic burst in laughter after Eraserhead started to cough. Usagi soon join him with quiet giggle. Eraserhead glare at both of them. That make Mic laugh even more. "I told you." She giggle and wave toward cream and sugar. "It get some time to get used to it." He grunt as answer and put just little drop of cream in the coffee and sip again. This time he didn't cough but still seem to have some difficulties. She encourage herself to tap his shoulder softly. "You will grow to like it, you are first one that didn't drown it in cream and sugar." She say and turn back toward desk.

Usagi follow how two pro heroes enjoy their drinks and cakes while she serve couple other customers. Tanaka is in backroom, going through bills and paperwork, knowing that she will get him if she need any help. She end up to serve other bubble tea to Mic and normal coffee to Eraserhead. He wisely decided that one cup of monster coffee is enough to start. When there is only three of them again, she decide to do what she has wanted to do since she saw them at the first time. She grab her notebook and walk to them awkwardly.

"Umm... C-can I get your autographs?" She ask with shy smile and reach her notebook to Present Mic first, hoping that at least he will agree. Wide smile come to his face. "Of course, Little Listener!" He answer, grab the notebook, turn to empty page and write his autograph on it. She turn to look hopefully at the Eraserhead, he is ignoring her. She frown. "Umm.. Eraserhead, sir? C-can I have y-yours too?" She ask unsure. He turn to look at her surprised. "You know who I am?" She frown. "Of course I know. You are one of my favorites." She answer without thinking and blush as soon as she realize what she said. 

Mic grin widely and give the notebook to Eraser. "Who is your favorite then, if I may ask?" He ask politely while signing her notebook. Usagi blush even more now. "You are...." She mumble while looking at the walls and tables. She see notebook in her view and take it without looking at the heroes and bow deeply. "Thank you and sorry for the trouble." "It wasn't a trouble at all Little Listener. What is your name?" She raise her head to look at him. "M-Matsuda Usagi, you can call me Usagi!" He nod and turn to look at Eraser. "You have a fan, who knew?"

Usagi blush again and smile sheepishly to Eraser who glare tiredly at Mic. "Whole point of being underground hero is that I don't have many fans or even people who know me. Kid-" She stiffen when he turn to look at her properly. "Why not All Might or Endeavor or someone top heroes? How you even know me?" He ask with blank voice but she could detect curiosity underneath his voice. That make Mic to look at her too.

She squirm a little under their eyes before answering. "You actually saved me when I was a child. Of course I then looked up on you and have followed your career ever since." She mumble, hoping that they won't hear her properly. "Way to go Aizawa!" Mic yell and move to slap his shoulder. "I saved you?" He ask while ignoring Mic who start to pout. She nod and hug the notebook. "Don't worry about it! It was many years ago and I have clearly grown. There is no way you would remember me." She blurt out and smile a little. He frown and stare at her, like trying to see inside her head. 

Usagi was saved by the bell. She bow one more time to the heroes and rush to desk. "Welcome to Coffee Bean, your local little cafe!" She greet the older lady that come in. She greet her politely and walk to the counter. "One cappuccino and white chocolate-lime cheesecake." "Coming right up! You can go to take a seat and I will bring your order to you as soon as possible!" Lady nod and go to sit in next table of two heroes. They seem to know each others but she didn't concentrate on them anymore.

Soon Usagi go to give the lady her order and put it front of her. "Here you go Ma'am. I hope you enjoy your drink and cake!" "Thank you dear." She thank her and she turn toward desk again but Mic's voice stop her. "Hey Little Listener." She turn to look at him with polite smile. "I would like to know more what you know about Eraser here if you aren't too busy?" She glance over her shoulder, then at Eraserhead and then turn back to Mic. There isn't really any reason she couldn't sit down and take her break now. It is rare opportunity to get to sit down with pro heroes after all. "If Eraserhead, sir, won't mind...." "Just amuse him kid, I don't mind." She nod. "I will just make myself a cup of coffee and join you for a moment?" Men nod and she rush back behind the desk.

Soon Usagi is sitting next to Present Mic, opposite side of Eraserhead and she scream inside her head. Memories of last night catastrophe come to her mind and she blush. She quickly hide behind her coffee cup and take long sip. "Is that monster coffee?" She nod as answer and Mic yell in shock. "Volume, Zashi, volume." Eraser sigh and roll his eyes. She couldn't help little chuckle that escape from her. "Like I said I made this in the first place. Of course I like it." "How old are you even Little listener?" "16." Both heroes frown suspicious but didn't push it.

"Well, now at the topic. What do you know?" Mic ask clearly exited. Usagi glance at Eraser one more time to make sure that this is really okay. He sigh and nod. She take deep breath and start to talk. She tell how she has looked him up, about his first jobs and missions, how she find stories after he went underground. How she has dug up every single article about him she could have find and memorized them almost completely. Then so she didn't talk only about him she start to tell all the things she know about Present Mic, how she listen to his show almost every time if she only can. 

Heroes, and the lady, listen to her carefully, amazed how much she remember and how much she has managed learn. "You really had done your homework, kid." Eraser say after she stopped. She blush and shrug. "It isn't that big of deal. I admire both of you actually and digging up information is fun." She answer dismissively. Suddenly she feel arm wrap around her shoulder and Mic pull her under his arm. "You are quite a fan, Little Listener." She smile awkwardly, hoping that none of them notice her flinch when she first felt his touch. Of course Eraser frown suspicious but didn't ask about it. "Who wouldn't be your fans?" She chuckle embarrassed that she is so close to him, as well as feeling trapped. 

Usagi force herself to stay in place even when all her instincts yell her to get away, not sure when he would attack her or something else. She know that Present Mic won't hurt her but it didn't help her subconscious or her instincts. She is too used to keep safe distance toward anyone. Before her breathing start to speed up, Eraser come to her rescue. Again. "All right Hizashi, I think it is time to let her back to her work." "Do we have to?" He whine playfully. She smile apologetically and move his arm away from her. "I really have to. There is work to do. Thank you for the brake and autographs!" She say and rush away as fast as she can without seeming suspicious and sigh in relief as soon as she get out of their sights. "That was intensive." She mumble and think what she didn't tell them, how she know their quirks weaknesses and how they fight. That is too risky to let out, not to mention they would start to dig up her identity.
