Voiceless [BNHA]

Chapter Twelve

~Miki's POV~

After finals, I was looking forward to summer break, Shota invited me to join class 1A to their training camp over break since Hizashi was going to be away at a concert. I was excited for a change of scenery and to get to spend some time with my new friends. I was still unsuccessful in making friends with anyone in my class. Everyone hated that I was so close to the hero course teachers and students. Since most of my classmates had wanted to get into the hero course they mistakenly thought I was trying to weasel my way into the hero course but none of them were interested in waiting around for me to try to explain myself on my phone or with my whiteboard. When I got the highest score on our finals, that only seemed to make things worse.

My phone buzzed, pulling me from my spiraling thoughts as I lounged in my room. I glanced over and smiled as I saw a text in the groupchat I had with Yaoyorozu and Jiro .

Y: Miki, we're all going shopping together before the training camp! Want to come with us?"

I smiled at the text and quickly scampered out of my room to the living room. Hizashi and Shota were sitting on the couch. Shota was looking over some training plans he'd drafted up for each of his students, Hizashi was still in his pajamas eating cereal on the couch. They both looked up as I nervously approached.

"Miki-chan!" Hizashi beamed.

Shota activated his quirk and I felt a familiar sensation wash over me as he erased my quirk giving me the ability to speak freely without harming anyone. "Is it okay if I go to the mall with class 1A?" I asked nervously.

Hizashi looked worried and was about to automatically reject the idea but paused as he saw the hopeful look on my face, "...yeah...it's good for you to have friends who aren't your Nii-chan." He sniffled.

"What is wrong with you?" Shota sighed and rubbed his eyes. He glanced my way again, "do you need a ride?"

I sent off a quick text to Yaoyorozu and Jiro that I could go with them and received an immediate reply.

Y: We'll pick you up in twenty minutes.

I felt my quirk being erased and glanced back at Shota, "n-no Momo and Kyoka are going to pick me up."

He nodded and I hurriedly escaped to my room to get ready.

I changed into a pair of pastel green shorts and a pastel purple top with a fat grey cat chasing a pastel green ball of yarn. I brushed out my hair and pulled it up into a ponytail before grabbing one of my hello kitty purses. When I stepped back into the living room, Hizashi frowned.

I glanced down at my outfit curiously.

"It's too hot for her to wear a parka." Shota snapped at him as he caught on to our silent exchange.

I giggled quietly as Hizashi gave in with a sigh before getting up to wrap me in a hug.

"Make sure you stay with a buddy at all times, don't go anywhere on your own. Text me if you need anything at all, I'll be there in two minutes." He lifted me off my feet in a bone crushing hug.

"Sister complex, she can't breathe when you do that." Shota growled and rather than come to my rescue as he usually did, I felt him pick up my purse and watched him put some money inside.

I stomped my foot in an attempt to argue which made him chuckle as he zipped my purse back up and set it back down.

Hizashi reluctantly released me. "I'll walk you downstairs."

I paled, not wanting to be mortified by him at the moment and quickly shook my head.

Shota managed to convince him to let me go on my own and I waved farewell to them both before exiting the apartment. Once I got outside I felt the strangest sensation, like I was being watched and glanced around. I looked back up at the apartment and sighed as I saw Hizashi pressed against the window, Shota was standing with him but less dramatically. I put my head in my hand praying Yaoyorozu and Jiro wouldn't notice when they arrived.
