[12] Promised Future

"Aizawa, Mic, look! I got a perfect score on my last spelling test!"

You dig into your backpack and proudly pull out the piece of paper that has '100' written on it in big, bold lettering.

Present Mic wastes no time in singing your praises.

"Damn, that's incredible!" he exclaims. "You've been learning so fast, kiddo! You must be some kind of genius, huh? It's no use hiding it from me! I've seen right through you!"

You giggle as Present Mic wraps you in a big hug and ruffles your hair. As expected, it's always nice hearing that you've done a good job. Especially when it comes to these two. A spelling test might seem like a trivial matter, in the grand scheme of things, but knowing that you've made them proud always makes your heart swell.

Aizawa watches with a gentle smile. He's not usually as openly affectionate as his childhood friend, but you've gotten really good at gauging his expression, no matter how stoic it appears at first glance.

"Great job," he says, reaching over to pat your head as well. "I expected nothing less. You're a smart kid, alright."

Your smile gets even wider, and without even thinking twice, you impatiently tug on Aizawa's sleeve, pulling him into the hug as well. He grimaces and tries to elbow Present Mic out of the way, but as expected, he doesn't put up a fight for very long.

This is your absolute favorite place in the world. Right here, nestled in their arms. It's hard to express the emotions they make you feel. Happiness, without a doubt, but there's more to it than that. It's something deeper, something much more powerful.

Dr. Garaki never intended for you to experience this emotion. He designed you to be one of his weapons, after all. But what he failed to take into account is that he created you in the likeness of a human, and thus, you have the capacity to feel everything a real human can.

Which is why, as you snuggle closer into the arms of the two men who have cared for you all this time, it finally dawns on you.

"Aizawa, Mic," you mumble. Warmth rises to your cheeks, and for some reason, you feel a bit sheepish to utter the words. "I... I, um..."

They peer down at you, visibly confused.

One more deep breath, and you finally manage to voice your feelings.

"I love you guys."

Neither of them responds right away, which only adds to your shyness, but really, who can blame them?

They both feel as if their damn hearts have just stopped beating.

"Th-This should be illegal," Present Mic mumbles weakly. His chin trembles, and hardly two seconds later, he's outright bawling. "It should be illegal for someone to be this freaking cute! Ahh, of course we love you too! We love you the most! Who wouldn't love such a perfect little angel?!"

He proceeds to squeeze you so hard that you can barely breathe, but knowing that your feelings are reciprocated is more than enough to make your spirits surge.

Aizawa is no different. Even though he isn't as eagerly honest or vocal, the look in his dark, trembling eyes says it all.

He too is overwhelmed by his love for you.

"You're such a good girl," Present Mic continues to happily sob. "Right, Aizawa? Isn't she the best? The absolute sweetest? Come on, tell her how amazing she is!"

"That's right," you say hopefully. "Tell me, please."

Aizawa chuckles softly. "I thought that much was obvious. But sure. You're amazing, [Name]. And I never thought I'd get to say this, but... Mic is right. We love you too, and we'll always be here for you."
