An EraserMic story

Chapter 2

It had been acouple hours since Eraser Head and Present Mic found the child and now were in a waiting room to find out how he is. When they had arived the child was rushed off and they both didn't want to just leave him, so they changed out of their hero costumes and changed into their civilian clothes then were put in a small waiting room.

Present Mic had pulled out his headphones and was relaxing while listening to music, trying to calm himself and Eraser Head had fallen asleep, his head resting on Present Mic using him as a portable pillow.

"Um, you two are here for the little boy, right?" A nurse questioned. Present Mic took off his headphones and stood up. "Yep. How is he?" He said a little bit louder than needed while nudging the other hero to wake up. "Well, he's pretty beat up and dirty. He also had weird shaped cuts on his cheeks, which will most likely scar from how deep they were. But he should be waking up soon and you saying you found him on the streets we don't know how he'll react."

She paused, then huffed. "To be honest the state he was in he was probably out there alone for a long time. He only looks around only four or five, who would just leave a kid like that? But anyways the doctors are still doing some tests so we'll come and get you when they're done."

"Thank you." Present Mic said as she walked away. Present Mic looked around the room letting his thoughts wander, eventually falling asleep.

After acouple hours Present Mic was awakened by Eraser Head getting up to stretch. "What time is it?" Mic said groggily, rubbing his eyes. Eraser took out his phone also curious. "Seven-thirty AM." he said.

After some time a different nurse brought them to the room of the little boy. "He's been extremely scared since he woke up, and he hasn't said a word either. We also noticed he might be hard of hearing or completely deaf, so be patient with him we'll talk about more medical stuff later." The doctor explained, Waving a hand to follow her to the room.

When they opened the door they saw the little boy on his tiptoes gazing out the window, it seemed he didn't notice them come in, probably due to his lack of hearing.

Now that they looked at the little boy they saw how dirty and beat up he actually was. His hair was matted and stained brown, the same with the once white wings on his back. The closer they looked they noticed he was also wrapped with medical wrap all down his arms and legs, with a couple spots that had extra bandages.

As they walked in Eraser Head glanced at a cherry blossom tree that the little boy was looking at. It was really big and pretty, and it looked like it just recently bloomed, obviously catching the boy's eye and distracting him of the situation around him.

The little boy suddenly turned around, sensing the presence of the couple. He looked panicked and hid behind the bed, sitting with his knees to his chest and his head in his arms. Eraser Head stopped and ushered Mic to as well. He knew a small trick that he used on stray cats hoping it would work on the young child in front of them.

Eraser Head pulled out a small chocolate bar that he got at a vending machine earlier unwrapping it half way. "Give me a sec," Eraser Head said. He went over to the opposite corner of the bed and sat down. He snapped a piece and slid it to the little boy. (Hoping the floors were clean)

It had tapped one of the little boys' feet, startling him at first but the feeling of hunger overtook the fear making him pick it up and pop it in his mouth. Acouple secondes later Eraser Head slid him another but a little farther from the child, causing him to move closer to the child and he kept doing it till he was handing it to the little boy.

Present Mic watched as the little boy trusted Eraser Head little by little, moving ever so slightly until they were sitting right across from each other. But Eraser Head paused before giving him another piece. "So, what's your name?" Eraser Head asked softly. The boy looked up at him seeming to read his lips. "Akemi," He said shyly. Then as Eraser Head handed him the piece he spoke again pointing at him. "Yours?"

"Well, my name is Aizawa Shōta and this is my boyfriend Yamada Hizashi." He said. To the remark, Hizashi walked over and kneeled down behind Shōta, "Hello," Hizashi said with a smile on his face. At the greeting, Akemi waved back shyly. "We wanted to know why you were outside by your self?" Hizashi asked.

At the question Akemi flinched and looked away, not wanting to talk about it. Shōta noticed and changed the subject tapping the boys shoulder getting his attention. "We saw a lot of cats were around you. Do you like cats?" Akemi's face brightened up and he nodded his head. "Yeah! I love kitties. And pandas, but i never saw a real one before. I think pandas and kitties are super cool." Akemi said getting lost in his thoughts.

As the couple listened they could hear the slight deaf accent, keeping the fact of the fact of hearing loss in their memory.

"Well thats a coincidence, we have three kitties at home," Hizashi said with a friendly smile on his face. "Really?" Akemi said interested. "Yep! Shōta likes feeding strays and sometimes they follow him home." Hizashi chuckled at the memory.

They had talked for about another twenty minutes when a nurse came in. The mood in the room suddenly changed back to hostile, but surprisingly Akemi didn't move to behind the bed but into Shōta's arms. Making himself into a ball covering his ears with his hand, seeming to comfort himself.

"It's alright, she's not going to hurt you. Here," Shōta said soothingly, lifting the child's head to meet his eyes while motioning for the young nurse to come a bit closer. She kneeled down with a small smile on her face. "This is Natsu, she is here to help you heal up quickly," Shōta said, glad she had a name tag on.

"Hi," Natsu said softly. "Oh, speaking of healing do you think he will let me put the I.V. back in, change his bandages and give him an asthma treatment?" She asked Shōta. He shrugged and turned to Akemi who was paying attention to Hizashi who was playing patty cake with.

"Akemi, You trust us right?" Shōta asked."Yeah," Akemi said turning his attention back to the brunette. "Well, Natsu needs to give you some medication and we need you to cooperate with her. Can you do that?" Shota asked. At first, Akemi hesitated but nodded his head in agreement.

Shōta and Hizashi led him to the hospital bed and helped him up. Natsu had grabbed a small picture book to distract Akemi from her putting the I.V. in. She handed the book to him. "Would you like me to read it to you?" Hizashi offered. "Yes please," Akemi said politely.

Hizashi started reading and Akemi looked interested looking up and down at Hizashi's lips and the book's pictures. As Hizashi read about animals and made noises for each different one getting a heart-melting giggle from Akemi, Natsu was putting the I.V. in causing Akemi to violently flinch but his gaze never left the book. Shōta noticed it and noted: He likes books.

It was about Twelve o-clock in the afternoon when Shōta and Hizashi were going to leave to let Akemi rest. "Are you going to come back?" Akemi asked while rubbing his tired eyes. "Yep, we'll see you tomorrow and play more," Shōta said waving. "See ya, tomorrow kid!" Hizashi finished as they exited the room after a small 'bye' from Akemi.

'What did we get ourselves into' They both thought as they walked home.
