Yamada was furious at first when he find out that Aizawa has told Usagi about adoption but soon calm down when she start to apologize and say again that she can't believe someone would choose her voluntarily, not to mention want her. On the same day, they decide to write down needed paperwork.
Usagi sit on couch while they wait for child service to arrive and play with her fingers, twisting them around. She is still anxious, they can still change their mind and kick her out. She would understand it completely and wouldn't blame them. She is such a mess, burden, stupid trash. Then hand grab hers, making her stop. She whip her head up and see Aizawa staring at her, Yamada next to him.
"Everything will be alright. They will let you live here and we will become your legal guardians. He won't touch you ever again." Aizawa promise. "You are our kid. You are part of this family." Yamada say. She nibble her lower lip and for their surprise stand up. "C-can I sit.. there?" She ask hesitantly and point between them. They share a look and make room for her. She sit down and curl her legs against her chest. It feel weird, sitting between them, sharing their warmth. Aizawa turn the TV on and throw her hand over the backrest behind her, making sure that his arm won't touch her.
Usagi slowly start to relax and let her arms to loosen up some. For some reason she start to feel sleepy and hide her yawn behind her knees. She see Yamada's glance but he didn't say anything, just put his arm behind her on backrest. She glance at the men and see that both of them has one arm basically around her without touching. She smile a little, gratefully that they didn't try to push her even when she wanted to try the spot herself. Soon she start to nod, her head sway and her eyes droop. She decide to take a little nap and curl against warmth on her right side. She is fast asleep.
"Little Listener? Usagi? Child service's worker is here." Yamada's gentle voice and little nudge stir Usagi awake. She yawn and open her eyes. It took a moment until she realize where she is. She has fallen asleep against Yamada. She immediately pull back and almost fall off he couch. He catch her from shoulder just in time. "Hey, it is okay. You looked like you needed a nap." He reassure her. She let out a little forced laugh and straighten herself. "Yeah.... Has been long weeks after all." She admit ashamed.
Before Yamada managed to say or ask anything, Aizawa and woman walk to them. He sit down on his spot next to Usagi and worker sit on other couch. "So, are you sure about this adoption? I'm sure someone younger would suit you as well." Usagi flinch like woman has hit her and Aizawa glare at her while Yamada roared "How dare you?!" Woman blink confuse but soon get her composure back. "I'm just saying. Usagi Matsuda is soon 15, in couple weeks actually, and you seem like good adoption candidates. Someone younger would surely-" "We have made our decision." Aizawa cut her speech off and grab Usagi's hand in his own.
Usagi glance at the hand and then feel other hand on her shoulder. She glance at furiously glaring Yamada. She feel new tears come in her eyes and desperately blink them away while squeezing at Aizawa's hand and raising her other hand top of Yamada's and give it a squeeze too. Men glance at her, she still hold her head down. Woman clear her throat. "Okay then, if you are absolutely sure." "We are." Yamada announce with cold voice. She nod and pull out papers.
"I need your signatures here and here. Miss Matsuda's here." She explain and men sign first then push the papers front of Usagi with the pen. She stare at the paper and take a pen in her trembling hand. She glance at both men and they smile encouragingly to her. She sign the papers and immediately retreat back deeper in couch, trying to hide behind Aizawa from the woman.
Woman take the papers, look them through and nod satisfied. "Now there is only one thing left. Does miss Matsuda wish to change her last name?" Usagi's head shot up. "YES!" She yell and lean forward. "If I can then yes, definitely yes." Woman blink surprised of her strong reaction. She clear her throat. "Well, it is unusual of someone in your age to change-" Men glare at her when she start to shrink away again. "But if you want then of course you can. You have informed us that you have different last names, what will she-" "Aizawa." Yamada cut her.
All three turn to look at him taken aback. "Shota is one who found her, he was the one who first brought up our change to adopt her in this family so if it is okay to Usagi, I believe she should take Aizawa as her last name." "You sure Zashi?" Aizawa ask softly. He nod and smirk. "Then I have two Aizawa's to call my own." Usagi look between men. She start to hesitantly smile and turn toward woman. "I will be Usagi Aizawa." She announce. She glance at men one more time to confirm that it really is okay and write it down after they nod. "Okay then. With these papers she is officially your child, Usagi Aizawa. These are your copies." Woman explain.
Usagi zone out rest of the conversation. She couldn't believe it. Two pro heroes; Eraserhead and Present Mic has adopted her. She turn to look at Yamada first and then at Aizawa. They still talk with the woman. She pinch herself and nothing changed. Little smile come to her lips and she move to lean her back against Aizawa while facing Yamada. They both glance at her but her little smile assure them that she is fine and they continue their conversation.
Usagi let her mind wander. She think about her life, how happy she was when her family was alive, how her world turn upside down then, how everything went horribly wrong after that, about her vigilantism and how that actually brought her here, on that couch. She snap out of her head when Yamada stand up and lead the woman out. Aizawa turn carefully to sit properly on the couch. She let him do that and lean against him again. "Something in your mind?" He ask after a moment. She turn her head to look at him for a moment. "Many things actually." "Like what?" "Vigilante Kitten."
