Stranded

Chapter 6

Knock knock!

"Yes, come in!" A soft voice called out. Aizawa turned the door handle and stepped into the principal's office. There, sat behind a large desk was a little smartly dressed mouse sipping some tea.

"Good afternoon, Nezu." Aizawa sat on the sofa near the desk.

"Afternoon! Care for some tea?"

"No thanks," Aizawa folded his arms over his chest. "I came to discuss All Might and Endeavour."

"Ah yes, your prank against the top two heroes!" Nezu smiled and poured himself some more tea. "Quite the grand scheme, placing two heroes that don't get along on an island far away."

"It's not really a prank, I just wanted All Might to realize that wilderness survival isn't as easy as it seems." Aizawa closed his eyes. Nezu laughed.

"And what does Endeavour have to do with it?"

Aizawa smirked. "As you said, they don't get along. It's like an obstacle."

"Ah, I see. But I think you may be forgetting something, Shota." Nezu hopped off his large chair and walked to the sofa across from Aizawa. He jumped onto the sofa and stretched out his little legs over the edge. "All Might can't stay in his large form for very long. And Endeavour doesn't know that All Might has a weak form, much less that his weak form is a classmate from his youth."

Aizawa opened his eyes and looked at Nezu. "So?"

"So... that means as far as Endeavour is concerned, he and Toshinori are on the island, and All Might isn't." Nezu put his hands on his knees and watched Aizawa's face, looking for a reaction. 

"Hm." Aizawa closed his eyes again. "I want to go with Yamada to the island in five days to retrieve them. I'll need to borrow the helicopter again."

"I see. That would make it this Saturday. Okay! I'll speak to Detective Tsukauchi about letting you borrow the police department's helicopter. Did you fly it when you took the two to the island?" Nezu climbed off the couch and sat at his desk again.

"No, Tsukauchi actually had someone take us." 

"He's Toshinori's best friend isn't he?" Nezu snickered. "And he's okay with this whole plan?"

Aizawa yawned. "He doesn't know, he thought we needed the helicopter for something important. I gave him a fake reason."

"And what reason was that?" Nezu's eyes shined with curiosity. Aizawa thought for a moment.

"I don't remember."

Nezu frowned. "Well that's unsatisfying." Aizawa stood up and headed for the door. "Well thank you for your visit! Stop by any time!"

Aizawa smiled and left the room.

"HEY! What's happening Shota?" Present Mic greeted Aizawa loudly. Aizawa cringed. 

"Jeez Yamada, you're so loud, I'm right here." He grumbled.

"I'm just excited to know what you were talking to Nezu about!" He grinned.

"We're going to get All Might and Endeavour in five days." Aizawa started walking down the hallway. The school bell rang, and students started pouring out of their classrooms.

"Sa-weeeeet!" Yamada shrieked. "Say Shota, ya wanna hang out somewhere?"

"No. I'm going home." Aizawa walked down the hall, around the corner and out of sight.

"Okay!" Yamada put up his two thumbs, and blushed when he noticed a few female students giggling and pointing at him. Ah, I should go. He gave a small wave in their direction and walked off.

The sky began to darken by the time Aizawa reached his apartment. He pulled out his keys and opened the door, being immediately greeted by a smoky grey cat.

"Hey Moo." Aizawa smiled and put his files down on a small table, kicking the front door shut. "Were you waiting for me so you could eat?" He bent over and scratched Moo's little head. Moo purred and rubbed up against Aizawa's legs, leaving dark grey fur all over his black pants. 

Aizawa rolled his eyes and sighed. "Thanks for the present." He walked into his kitchen and pulled out some food for Moo, then walked into his living room and sat on his little brown couch. He closed his eyes and started to nap when...

VZZZZZZT! VZZZZZZT! VZZZZZZT!

He opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the buzzing noise. It was coming from the little table at the front door. He groaned and stood up, retrieved the phone and sat down. It was All Might's red phone. Aizawa pressed the button on the front of the phone and looked at the hundreds of notifications of messages and missed calls from..

"Midoriya?" Aizawa's eyes widened slightly. "Why does Midoriya have All Might's number?" he tried to unlock the phone but it needed a password. He thought for a moment, and then typed in "iamhere".

It unlocked.

"HA!" Aizawa laughed out loud, then cleared his throat and proceeded to open the messages. Midoriya is clearly concerned with the well being of his favourite teacher. He began to type a reply to the young boy.

All Might: Hello, young Midoriya. Thank you for your concern, I'm not feeling too well. Hopefully I'll be back to normal by next week.

Aizawa was prepared to wait for a response but got one immediately.

Midoriya: I'm sorry you're not doing so well, I was worried when you didn't reply at all. 

Aizawa was about to type in a reply when the phone started vibrating. Midoriya was trying to call. He declined the call and immediately began to type.

All Might: Sorry, my voice is gone completely, I can't talk.

Midoriya: Oh no, that's terrible All Might! I'll be right back!

Aizawa stared at the phone in disbelief. What on earth...? A few minutes later, Midoriya sent another message.

Midoriya: I just asked my mom for advice and she says you can't go wrong with miso soup. It's very soothing. If you want I can bring you some?

Aizawa's eyes widened even more. "He knows where All Might lives, too?" 

Moo meowed, breaking Aizawa's hard gaze from the phone. He made a little noise to get Moo onto his lap, and patted his thigh. Moo jumped up onto his owner's lap and cuddled up against Aizawa's stomach, with one paw stretched out on his chest. Aizawa smiled softly and started to pet Moo's silky fur. He turned his attention to All Might's phone. He typed in a response, but Midoriya sent another message.

Midoriya: If you don't want to give me your address that's okay though. I guess it would be kind of inappropriate for a teacher to tell a student where he lives.

Aizawa sighed. Well I'm glad that All Might isn't that stupid.

All Might: Don't worry, young Midoriya, I can just buy some from a convenience store. Thank you for your concern. I'm going to sleep now, good night.

Midoriya: You shouldn't go outside if you're sick though!

All Might: Don't worry, I live right next to a store. Anyway! Good night Midoriya.

Midoriya: Okay, good night All Might!

Aizawa shook his head and turned off All Might's phone. This kid...
