Eevee

The traitor is found

Izuki POV

It's been about an hour after the Sports Festival ended, me and the rest of the class are walking back to the dorms, I'm a little distracted seeing how I am only just now realizing the full aspect of what me and Jack have agreed on while talking... will they hate me for having those thoughts? What if they start treating me like some fragile piece of glass? I'm unsure if I want to tell Ashido, seeing how she can't keep a secret apparently. Not to mention our plans for tomorrow, me and Jack haven't truly had a moment alone, not any I can remember or have good memories about, we've been alone together yeah, but not many of the times were good.

"Yo, Zuki, you good?" I snap out of my thought and look over at Denks "Yeah, don't worry about it, just thinking about... a lot actually" "Alright, just let me know if you need someone to talk to, you have people to turn to, alright?" "I know, thanks. I have a question though, have you heard from Mira at all since the summer?" "Every now and then, she's been working on transferring schools but won't tell me where to" "Is it possible she's working on transferring here? It's unlikely seeing as how we just started a new term and I doubt they'd accept her this far into the year, but possibly next year?" "True, though I'm not going to lie, I'm a little worried about her... she doesn't have much training with fighting and it's possible the league is still planning stuff regarding her" I look over at him again, and I swear I can see a bit of a blush creeping onto his face, "Are you... starting to like her? You've barely talked" He nervously chuckles and I gasp a little "You lied!" "Yeah... just a bit though, we've chatted over the phone... roughly every weekend, no more than that"

Me and him move topics to various other things, mostly school, and chat the entire way to the dorms and I get hugged by Eri the moment I step through the door "Me and Alex were watching the Festival! You were so awesome Mama!" "Thanks Eri, I'm glad you think so" "Why did you quit the match against Papa though?" "I simply didn't want to fight against him, as well as not really caring much about getting a higher placement" "Oh, okay" I pick her up and ruffle her hair "Sorry about having to leave you two here alone, I wasn't sure if you two would be okay with being alone for the first two rounds surrounded by strangers" "It's fine, I am a bit tired though" I chuckle a bit, "Alright, let's get you to bed for a nap before dinner then" "Okay Mama" I walk up the stairs with Eri still in my arm, and can hear Ev say something about me, but didn't fully catch what she said.

I tuck Eri into bed, and turn off the lights "Have a good nap, me or Jack will come get you for dinner" "Okay Mama," She closes her eyes and mumbles something that I catch every word of, "I love you Mama" "Love you too sweetie, have a good nap" I gently shut the door and walk away lightly fanning my face to calm down before getting back to the others 'SHE SAID SHE LOVES ME, I'm glad she thinks so highly of me. I promise you Eri, I'll be the best mother I can for you' Am I fangirling about a kid saying they love me? Yes. I don't give a fuck though, aside from Jack she's the only person I truly care about what they think of me, I do care about the others opinions about me, but I'll only truly pay attention to Jack's or Eri's, and Aunty now that I think about this topic. I breathe in and out before walking down the stairs and meet up with Jack.

I hug him from behind and he sets his hands over mine well continuing the conversation he's having with Ev, "So... what now? I'm assuming you'll be updating Aizawa Zuki?" "Yeah, probably. The longer he isn't told, the longer she has to do something to put someone's life into grave danger, not like she hasn't already though" "Alright, you want someone to go with you?" "You know what, sure. You, Ev, Fumi, and Denks, mostly because there's something you all and Aizawa should know after, you already know though Jack" I can see Ev raise an eyebrow at that last bit, but ultimately just nods "I'll go get them, meet outside in 5 minutes?" "Sure" She walks away, "You know that they won't treat you any different, right?" "But... what if they do?" "Then I'll try and get them to stop and treat you like normal" "Thanks" "Of course" He spins me in front of him and lightly kisses the back of my hand, and I must have gone bright red because he chuckles lightly before speaking again, "You alright? Was that too much?" I shake my head "No, it's fine"
