(Dadzawa) I'm not a cat! (Cat quirk reader)

54: Fatgum!

"You're not going to Hosu city," Aizawa said sternly, "I'll have every student away from it!"
The kitchen table was a great place for these conversations. I couldn't help but to glance around at ways of how it could go wrong. Aizawa assured me I wasn't in trouble or anything.

"Isn't that suspicious?" I frowned before shaking my head, "We should let thing play out as it plays out. They can't know I'm on the heroes side here. As for me, I'll go to..." I thought, "Endeavour—"

"No."

I kept in my laughter with a fabulous poker face.

"Why not?"

"He's an asshole—"

How blunt, but I still did not laugh.

"Damn, but I know," a smile peaked through on my face, "I wanted to go there to throw insults at him."

"Even though that doesn't sound bad," Aizawa sighed, "He'll go looking for the hero killer, no doubt."

I shrugged lightly, hiding my mischief, "I know that too."

"You're not getting near any murderers."

I sighed and leaned back.
"Where do you suggest I go then?"

"Fatgum."

"Who now?"

"Fatgum," Aizawa repeated, "He patrols in the nighttime more than daytime. I'm sure you can learn a lot there. And..."

"And?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"You know Tamaki Amajiki?" Aizawa sighed.

"Who now?"

"Part of the top three students at UA?"

"Never heard of them," I shrugged, "But if they're in the top three, then maybe I can learn a thing, or two."

Aizawa nodded. "Good, it's decided then."

Wait, I finally knew where to go for internships! When was it announced we were doing them? Months ago?
"At long last," I sighed and leaned back dramatically, "Weeks! It took me weeks to decide—"

"It's been only days."

"...no need to point that out, 'Zawa."

Fatgum was...

How should I say it without sounding weird?

Oh well, he was fun, really kind and adorable how he grinned at everything.

And then there was the other UA student.

"I..." he didn't meet my eyes which I didn't mind at all, though it seemed... peculiar, "I..." he didn't finish his sentence.
He shook, his eyes getting more and more anxious by the second.

Social anxiety! I'm familiar.
I'm really not, but humans suck, I know what it's like not to be able to talk to people, which is almost... not the same, huh...

I smiled. "I'm (y/n), nice to meet you. My father already told me about you."
The best I could do was try to understand, was I overthinking this?

The student seemed to let out a breath of relieve and then just nodded.

"Tell me more about your quirk," Fatgum said as we walked outside that evening.

Tamaki walked along, not saying much.

"I can turn into a cat," I said looking away, "Other than that... I suppose... I've got claws? I might as well be quirkless in combat."

"No, it's a great quirk," Fatgum assured, "As long as you know how to use it."
Then he turned to Tamaki who almost froze in fear.
"Tamaki, tell her a bit about your quirk."
