Voiceless [BNHA]

Chapter Eleven

~Shota's POV~

I woke to find something small and warm in my arms, molded against my body. It was soft and smelled heavenly. Unconsciously, I squeezed it tighter and felt it shift and heard the faintest voiceless gasp, a sharp quick inhale of breath. Slowly, I opened my eyes to see a red faced Miki in my arms. I released her from my hold and looked over to see Hizashi, once again, sprawled across my bed practically forcing Miki into my arms as he took up nearly the whole bed.

"Idiot." I grumbled and hit him before getting out of bed.

Hizashi jolted into an upright position and began looking around in a panic, "where's my Miki-chan?!" He spotted her, still red faced and immediately pulled her into his arms. "I had the most terrifying dream." He held her tight.

Miki threw me a frantic look as Hizashi squeezed her far too tightly.

"Idiot, you're crushing her." I sighed and pried his arms off of her so she could breathe again.

"Miki and a life size Hello Kitty became best friends and they wouldn't let me sit with them." Hizashi cried.

"That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard." I rolled my eyes at him.

"Miki, promise even if you and Hello Kitty become best friends, I can still sit with you." Hizashi was beside himself. He got like this from time to time, whenever there were incidents.

Miki offered him a reassuring smile and nodded her head.

"Good." Hizashi relaxed before turning to me, "what's for breakfast?"

I couldn't help but roll my eyes at him.

Miki gently tugged on my arm. I turned to her curiously and activated my quirk so she could speak freely. Her cheeks flushed with color, "...can I help?"

I smiled, "you are the best sous chef."

"And cutest!" Hizashi added before attempting to squeeze her again.

I draped an arm around her shoulders and whisked her away before her brother could smother her any further. She tensed for a moment as I pulled her close and her cheeks turned a bright shade of scarlet as I pulled her along.

"Are you feeling alright?" I asked once we reached the kitchen.

She shoved out of my hold, nodded adamantly and scrambled to pick up Grey as he rubbed up against her legs.

I watched as he allowed her to pick him up like a baby. He melted in her arms and began purring loudly causing a small smile to spread across her lips. It hurt a little to know that if I tried to pick him up and hold him like that I'd most certainly lose a hand in the process. Grey let out a cute chirp and nuzzled his head against her chin causing her to giggle silently. It was hard to look away, they were sickeningly adorable. Miki gave him a gentle squeeze and he chirped again looking as happy as could be.

Reluctantly, I tore my gaze away from them and busied myself with gathering ingredients for breakfast. As I set things on the counter, I heard Grey let out a soft noise of protest and assumed Miki had set him down. I glanced over to see her already fast at work chopping up fruits and vegetables. Grey was sitting on the floor behind her scowling up at me as if it was my fault she put him down and stopped coddling him like a baby. I shook my head at my cat as he glowered up at me disdainfully.

After a picture perfect breakfast we all hurried to get ready and as we stepped out the door, Hizashi resumed his smothering and Miki threw me a pleading look. I sighed, "Hizashi, are you planning on attending all of her classes with her like that?"

Hizashi thought for a moment before responding, "that's a great idea."

Miki threw me a panicked look.

"It wasn't a suggestion, idiot!" I growled and roughly shoved him away from her as she started to change color due to a lack of oxygen from his way too tight bear hug.

Once free, Miki took a big gulp of air before scurrying away from her overbearing idiot of a brother. I placed myself between them and shook my head as Hizashi let out a pathetic whine. Several times during our commute Hizashi attempted to smother Miki, she managed to barely escape each time with my help. The idiot was exhausting.

When we arrived at UA, some students stopped Hizashi and Miki let out a silent sigh of relief before attempting to sneak away. I held back a chuckle as I watched her tip toe away toward the school. She shyly waved farewell to me before bolting once she'd successfully gotten in the school without her brother's notice.

Once finished with the students Hizashi turned and all the color drained from his face, "Miki-chan?!" Before I could reach out to stop him, he raced toward the school.

"Idiot! Leave her alone!" I groaned and followed him.

The idiot was quicker than I had anticipated. Apparently when Miki was involved he gained super speed. I cringed as I heard a loud crash from the direction of Miki's classroom.

"Present Mic! What the hell?!" I heard the irate voice of Miki's general studies teacher.

"AH! Miki-chan! What happened?!" Hizashi yelped.

I ran into the classroom to survey the scene before me and felt worry worm through me as I spotted Miki on the floor rubbing her head. Seeing as Hizashi was sprawled next to her I assumed he'd tackled her and she'd lost her balance and they'd both wiped out on the floor.

"You happened!" Her teacher snarled before turning on me, "deal with this." He grumbled in annoyance before muttering under his breath about not being paid enough as he headed for the teachers lounge for coffee.

Luckily we'd arrived before any of the other students. I kicked Hizashi out of the way as he got up and began to fawn over Miki. She looked up, her cheeks flushing with color as I offered her a hand. My heart stuttered in my chest as her bright doe eyes looked up at me through thick lashes, a demure expression on her face.

"Come on, let's go see Recovery Girl."

She slipped her hand in mine and let me pull her to her feet.

"Ow, what was that for?" Hizashi whined as he picked himself up off the floor rubbing his head. I'd kicked him harder than was probably necessary.

Miki threw him a worried look.

"Both of you, let's go." I sighed. The Yamada siblings were such a handful.
