The Number One "Sidekick" • {My Hero Academia}

four

I woke up the next day and of course there were many missed calls from my dad.  I sighed as I got up and changed into a fresh uniform.  I appreciated the fact that neither of them had told my dad about what happened yesterday, but they could've at least told him I slept in the nurse's office.  Once I was changed and stepped out of the curtain surrounding my bed, I found Aizawa in his sleeping bag on the floor.  My face contorted into one of confusion at the man sleeping on the floor.  I looked over at Recovery Girl sitting at her desk.  I whispered, "How long has he been here?"

She turned towards me and then looked down at Aizawa, "He hasn't left since he came in here yesterday.  I tried to get him to go home but he refused."

I quietly chuckled, "He sleeps here anyway."  I bent down next to him and gently shook his sleeping bag.  "Hey, wake up."

Aizawa groans at me before opening his eyes and staring at me.  He doesn't say anything right away and just gives me the death glare that tells me he just wants to sleep.  "Go run my class for me."

"Seriously?"  Aizawa wasn't actually someone who you could consider lazy but he had a habit of not sleeping at night which didn't really help with being a teacher during the day.  He only ever exerted as much energy as needed.  Nothing more.  Nothing less.

"You owe me."

I sighed, "Fine, but now I'm gonna have to change."  I started to walk towards the door but turned around to say goodbye only to see Aizawa crawling like a worm over to the bed that I just laid in.  I teleported to the locker rooms and changed into my hero outfit.  I checked the time on my phone and noticed that it was almost time for homeroom to start.  I teleported to the teachers' lounge and searched through Aizawa's desk to see if there was a school calendar or anything to let me know what I had to tell them.  Of course, there wasn't.

"Hey Arya, what are you doing in your hero outfit?"  I turned around to see Midnight standing behind me.

"Oh I'm filling in for Aizawa and was trying to find out if there was anything important that I needed to tell his class today."

"You're so weird.  You know that right?"

I tilted my head in confusion.  "What do you mean?"

"Oh no not in a bad way.  You're just much more mature for your age than basically any other kid.  You act like an adult.  You're still a student here, but you fill in for us teachers whenever we need you to for the underclassmen groups and you're a full time hero/sidekick."  Midnight pointed out how I don't act like any kid my age and instead more like all of the adult heroes.  "You also are 15 and are a third year when you should be a first year."

I shrugged.  "I feel like the way I act reflects perfectly on my life."

Midnight came up to me and gave me a hug.  "I know."  I wrapped my arms around Midnight and thanked the gods that I have such a great hero support system.

I bonded with Midnight over girl things often, especially whenever Aizawa didn't know how to answer something.  My dad always did his best, but being the number one hero didn't help with trying to take care of a kid by yourself.  And since he was always terrified that I'd get kidnapped if left home alone, I always had another hero around the house or funnily enough I would go over to Endeavor's house.

I released Midnight from the hug, "I gotta go 'cause I'm gonna be late."

She laughed, "Okay kiddo, go show those kids whose boss."

I teleported out of the room and to class 1-A.  I had teleported into a sitting position on the desk in front of the classroom.  The class was conversing with each other and didn't even notice I had appeared out of thin air.  I blew a gust of wind against the floor through the whole room to get their attention without making any of their paper go flying.
