[ERASERMIC] 90's HEARTTHROB

What am I to you?

[AIZAWA'S P.O.V.]

As I said before, after school, I went to see the two girls to apologize. They were classmates from class 2-C.

"A-Aizawa-senpai!" One of them shouted.

"What are you doing here??" The other questioned.

"I came to say sorry. Earlier at the Dining hall, I.. seemed to scare you. Sorry about that." I couldn't help but slur my words.

"Oh, it's not a problem, Aizawa-senpai. You went through all the trouble to come see us at our class, how could we not forgive you?" They giggled.

I let out a semi-sincere 'heh'.

While they were rambling on about something I couldn't care less about, I couldn't help but pick up on a few conversations happening behind them.

"No way, Aizawa-senpai came to see them just to say he's sorry about something? Lucky!" A girl said

"What so you mean lucky? He has the scariest eyes ever! One glare from him and you'll feel like you're gonna die!" A guy replied

"EEK! He's staring at us now!!" She shouted

Without me noticing I was staring at them unconsciously. I shook my head furiously, trying to avert my gaze from them and pay attention to the two girls i solely came all the way here for.

"..Yamada-senpai!" One of them ends their sentences and giggled.

My eyes widen. "Yamada..? Say that again."

"O-oh! I was saying, you seem to be very close with Yamada-senpai. I mean, you're practically never seen anywhere without the other." She said "It was kind of a shocker to see you here alone."

I suddenly realized that. We really do go everywhere together, do everything together. It's kind of skin-crawling thinking about it.

"It kind of makes everyone question what you are to each other, huh, senpai?" The other one laughed.

That's true.. What are we to each other?

Best friends? -No, more like close friends. Yeah, that seems more like it.

"We're close friends, obviously." I said

"Are you really sure you're not more than that?" One of them said.

I paused for a moment. The atmosphere suddenly got ten times heavier. Well, this is awkward.

"Um, I have to go." I stammered. One of the girls grabbed my arm.

"Wait, senpai!" She yelled

Ah, no. I started to lose my composure. Damn, this is bad. Physical contact.

I started to panic.

"No, I really have to go," I took a deep breath. "Please."

She let me go. Phew. I thought something bad was going to happen there.

I quickly walked away. My destination being nowhere other than my home. What does she mean ' Are you really sure you're not more than that?'

I turned to look back hoping that Hizashi wasn't behind me.

I sighed in relief when I found out that he wasn't there. Still, there's a feeling in my chest that's somewhat a clenching feeling. That's new.

Is it really a good way to start the year like this? Why is this happening to me now?

I shook my head in frustration. First life gives me the privilege of being short, now this. Great. Just great. I sigh.

"SHOUTAAAA!!" A familiar voice rang my ears

Oh no. Not now.

I turned to see no one there. What the heck?

Nope. Too freaky. I hastened my pace home, trying to find a rational explanation to what just happened. Maybe I've been stressed out? Maybe I've been thinking too much?

Thinking too much.. About him?

Hm. Plausible.

Everything around me seemed strangely quiet. Maybe because Hizashi isn't with me. I get the chills walking alone like this. I guess it's been a while. I felt as though something was going to jump at me.

And something did.

A silhouette jumped and tackled me from the front. I was frozen to the point that I couldn't even yell. I didn't think I was this defenseless to begin with. What's wrong with me? Could this be a quirk at work?

We're now on the floor. My breath was shaky, I was frozen in place, lost in thought and panic.

"Jeez, you're really hopeless, aren't you?" The silhouette laughed.

After closer inspection, I found out that the silhouette was of none other than Hizashi. His face was close. Very close.

I placed my hand on his mouth before shoving him way.

"..or did you know it was me?" He chuckled.

I stared blankly at the floor not saying a word. A very long quiet pause followed.

"Hizashi.. What am I to you?" I asked.

"Huh? Why so suddenly?" He said as he got up. "You're my friend!"

"Are you really sure we're not more than that?" I asked

He hesitated. "What are you going on about, now, Shouta?"

"Those two girls earlier at the dining hall said something that really made me question some things." I said "What are we to each other, Hizashi?"

"C-Close friends?" He stuttered.

I stared at him blankly. "I see.."

I stood up and helped him up afterwards. "So I was right. They were just asking unnecessary questions."

I brushed off all the other thoughts I might've had in mind. Maybe even enough to get an ensured good night's sleep later.

That is until Hizashi grabbed my hand. "Hey, Shouta, when they asked you that question, what exactly did you have in your mind?" That's it. That earnest expression I've only seen once before.

Things just keep getting stranger and stranger.

"I thought exactly the same thing." I said. "Why?"

"Your tone sounded as if you were expecting something else as an answer," he said, shrugging nonchalantly. "Just sayin', I dunno."

"Ah," I said. "Were you?"

Damn, I didn't have a plot for this at all. This is all just hella spontaneous writing and well, we'll see where my work flow takes us.

Stay tuned, my dudes.
