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

57: A Long Explanation

Kurogiri's portal closed, the purple slowly disappearing as I was left in an alley.

I wanted to cry and walk away, but I couldn't.

"They're gonna be mad at me," I felt my cat ears fall back to my head. After an eight hour doctor thing, I now had a new quirk.

But my absence was probably making people worry, making me think that maybe it wasn't even worth it.

"I'm sure it's fine," Shigaraki shrugged, "You can always become a full time villain."

I pulled the black sweater Shigaraki had lend me tighter to myself. "I can't do that... you know that." I still felt disgusted by the idea of someone doing something with my body, I mean, sure, I could make stuff float now, but... the idea of surgery sucked.

"Why not?" Shigaraki shrugged, "You could continue being a vigilante, you just wouldn't have annoying school and family."

It sounded great, being able to do what I wanted, whenever I wanted.
I sighed. "I wish I could have met you before I got adopted."
On one hand, it was a lie. I loved my family.
And on the other hand? Fuck everything, I wanted to live the life!

"Just head inside," Shigaraki said, "I'm sure it won't be that bad."

"I'm sure..." I sighed. I knew that Shigaraki didn't even know I had to hero dads, a half hero brother... and a cat sibling. They'd all be annoying and worried. They'd all demand answers of where I had been.
I wasn't scared... I was just... not excited to go inside.

Shigaraki looked away just then as he put his hands in the pockets of his hoodie. "What if I gave you my number, so you can text me if something goes wrong."

I slowly looked up at him. Was he offering help...? Or just comfort? I mean, what would his number save me from?
Then I nodded. "That would be nice."
Before I could completely grab my phone, Shigaraki took it from me. He put in his number before he pushed it back in my hands.

"If you die again, I'll kill you." He said roughly.

"Got it," I nodded and quickly gave him a hug.
Again!? This was the second time I did that!
I pulled away before hurrying out of the alley.
I ran inside, up the stairs, passed the noisy neighbour, passed the weird neighbour, finally reaching the right door, and I knocked.

My heart was beating loudly, but I faced my fears and stood my ground.

Time to be a hero. If not for myself, then for Oboro.

"(Y/N)!!" Mic called out in a high pitched voice.

I froze up, only to get pulled into a hug.

"Where have you been!? We've been worried sick!!"

"Stop using your quirk, you're gonna make her deaf." Aizawa pushed Mic away a little and then joined in the hug for a few seconds. I stood still, getting hugged by two people at the same time. Maybe I felt like crying, maybe not.

"M'okay," I muttered softly, "I just got wrapped up in... something."

"Something?" Aizawa held my shoulders while Mic slowly let go. "Tell me everything. Has it got to do with the league? Did you get hurt?"

"I'm fine," I sighed and adjusted my cat ears with my hands so they wouldn't look sad, "Should I make tea? It's a long story."

Mic finally let go and walked off to go make tea. He might have been wiping away a tear...

I quickly gave Aizawa another hug. Then I stepped back, put my hands behind my back, and I looked up with two kitten eyes.

"So... don't get mad."
