He had been following this strange teen since he appeared in the city. It was at the end of his patrol when Aizawa received a message from his boss.

Principal Nezu

- My sensors detected an instance of illegal quirk use near our school; however, no villain attack occurred. Please investigate and tell me the results

He sighed as he slipped his phone back into his pocket, guess I can't go home early today , and he jumped off the roof he was stationed on. It didn't take long for Aizawa to find the boy, he was passed out in the back of a dark alleyway. Moving close allowed him to see the teen better, he could see that he had a black tail and held three different colored lumps close to his chest. As Aizawa contemplated going closer to the boy, he heard a small sound, "awooo?'

What was that? Warily he moved so he could view the boy from above, the colored lumps moved and he saw what were three... dinosaurs? It was the best thing he could describe them as, because he never saw anything remotely close to them. They wriggled out of the teen's arms and were making what sounded like worried squeaks and squeals? Aizawa wasn't sure but then he saw the boy twitch

He watched as the boy slowly sat up and touch something in his hair, were those horns? , he thought but what confused him more was the teen's reaction. He froze at the touch and slowly dragged his finger on what seemed to be the curve of one of the horns

It's like he didn't expect them but that's impossible, unless he's a late bloomer? He also has a tail

The boy shakily got to his feet with the support of the wall, and pressed the overly large bracelet on his left wrist. Aizawa watched as a slightly older liking teen appeared in a flurry of yellow and green pixels. He had dark skin and wore almost the exact same thing as the younger teen. It was almost uncanny how similar yet different the two were.

Aizawa watched as the older male brought the smaller into an embrace and strained his ears to hear what was being said

"-ou're too weak. How can you even be my vessel?" "Shut up and help me." "Fine, but only because you need to take care of your body for me to use"

Use? What kind of relationship do these two have? He stared at them interact as well as the little dinosaurs that crawled on their backs and into their arms, are they dating? It would make sense, after all who would say to "take care of your body for me to use" if you're not dating?

"Can you walk now?" The dark skinned teen was holding the blue and brown dinosaurs in his arms while the smaller one had the green dino on his shoulders. "I'll be fine after we start," he opened his arms and Eraserhead watched as the older of the two positioned the dinosaurs carefully in the teen's arms, "Don't you dare get hurt because you'll ruin my reputation"

The watching hero saw the younger let out an exasperated sigh, "I bet no one here even knows you." The larger spun on his heel to face the young teen, "You- *sigh* why do I even bother with you? You clearly don't appreciate our beauty"

"Alright, back to timeout for you"

"Don't you dare! KINI-" but with a flick of his wrist the older teen disappeared in another flurry of pixels. Was he saying his name? Is he a part of that kid's quirk? Eraserhead shook his head to clear it, he quietly watched as the teen walked into the open streets. I'll see what he'll do then report back to Nezu

Aizawa trailed the kid from the rooftops for the next few hours. All he observed was the teen looking at shop windows and wandering around the city, nothing suspicious beside the unique outfit he wore and the same dinosaurs he carried. As the sun started to set, he watched from a rooftop as the kid made his way to a small central park that they passed earlier. He placed the dinosaurs in a fountain to play and sat on a nearby bench

The hero jumped off the building silently and observed the teen and once again he saw the same flurry of pixels. The older teen who was put in a "timeout" was back and in front of the smaller's face. He was too far to hear and moved closer from behind a tree. Aizawa saw the teens interact with each other almost as if they were dating, Personal notes for me, they're definitely gay , and they're interactions with the dinosaurs, Amendment to personal notes for me, they're gay and have pets (kids?)

Eraserhead just watched until he made contact with the older teen, he wasn't sure when he spotted him but he was caught now. The teen was poised to attack him, and Aizawa thought it would be would be wise to step out from the shadow of the tree so he did "I am Pro Hero, Eraserhead, and you have no reason to be wary"

This just irritated the wary teen more, "No reason? No reason ? You followed us and said NOT to worry? Are you fucking serious? " He was about to attack him, so Aizawa was about to use his quirk when a voice cut through the air, " AJAW , stand down." it was the smaller boy, he was holding the dinosaurs close to his chest and had a piercing gaze fixed on Aizawa

Eraserhead watched as "Ajaw" dropped his rigid posture and gave a stiff nod to the teen still on the ground. He turned to flip off Aizawa as he disappeared in a flurry of yellow and green pixels. The hero blinked and met the younger boy's gaze, "Why did you follow us and what do you want?"

Aizawa raised his visor to show bloodshot eyes with red pupils, "I apologize for this being our first meeting, I didn't me to startle you," he walked over to Kinch and crouched down to be at the same eye level as him, "I've been observing you and based on your actions, you're not from here"
