[ERASERMIC] 90's HEARTTHROB

The 'date'

[AIZAWA'S P.O.V.]

At the place Mic picked out, I sat next to Joke and he sat across from us. Which kinda makes it seem like he's the third wheel in this scenario.

"So how did you guys meet?" Joke asked. "I would love to hear all about it, Mic."

"I'd gladly tell you all about it, Ms Joke!" He grinned. "Long story short, we were besties since our first year in Yuuei!"

"Oh, yeah! You go to the same school!" She shouted.

"What was this goofball like back then?" She snickered as she nudged her elbow against me. 

"He was the cutest! Just simply adorable!" He said nonchalantly. My face turned red in humiliation. "You wouldn't believe how short he was back then!"

"Oh, I believe you, Mic." She laughed.

"Now how did you two meet?" He winked. "You two seem close."

"Oh, that!" She giggled. "Our agencies are just close by, so we always see each other. And eventually, we fell in love~" She leaned towards my shoulder, nuzzling her head against it.

"We're also planning to get married soon. Right, future husband?" She smiled.

"Damn it, I told you not to call me that in public." I scolded her.

"But it's true! I just can't help it!" She laughed.

I peeked at Hizashi's face. He was smiling. Emptily. "Eraserhead, really?" He laughed.

"No. Of course not." I said.

"He's just shy to admit it." Joke laughed. She leaned in and gave me a peck on the cheek. I immediately wiped it off.

"How mean.." She muttered.

"Joke, I told you time and time again, do not do these kinds of things in public." I grunted.

"Would you rather I do it privately then? How scandalous~" She grinned.

"Absolutely not." I dejected her.

The whole 'dinner' was filled with just Mic and Joke conversing with each other while I sat in silence, trying to enjoy what's left of my meal.

I don't remember anything about my quirk being invisibility. But I guess this situation begged to differ.

They looked like they were enjoying their time so I just let them be. I sighed.

"Where will you be staying, Present Mic?" Joke asked.

"Ah, in a hotel for now. I'm still figuring things out." He answered. "I might get a nice place in a peaceful location. Maybe somewhere upon the hills? I've got my eye on a few places already. I'm just thinking about it for now. And for the time being, I'll be staying at a hotel. Yep."

"Why don't you stay with me?" I asked

He lit up. "Really??"

I nodded. "For the time being, that is. I guess it'll be better than you staying at a hotel all by yourself. My location's quite peaceful. Though, I did expect you to go for the bustling approach."

"Eh, I'm all the bustle I need." He laughed. "I won't be at home most of the time, so when I get back, I'll be all tired and stuff. So a place to stay for me is a place for resting, ya dig?"

I paused for a moment. "I'll allow it."

"Aww!!! Shouta!!!" He yelled.

I activated my quirk in attempt to erase his quirk. But he wasn't even using his quirk.

"Eraser that's so sweet of you!!" Joke yelled.

God, I feel like I'm eating dinner with children. I'll continue contemplating my life choices when I get home later.

"BUT," I raised my voice, silencing them.  "only for the time being. When you've found a place for yourself, you better hurry on up and get the hell out, got it?"

"Yes sir!" He nodded.

The dinner ended cheerfully, I guess. They looked cheerful, at least.

"Thanks for everything," Joke bowed. "It was such an honour."

"There's no need to be so formal, Smile Hero." Mic laughed as he placed his hand on her head. "We're equals, alright?"

She blushed. "Woah," She stood up straight and placed her hand on his. "Thank you so much!" She smiled really brightly.

She turned to me. "Looks like you have some competition, future husband!" She laughed. Mic laughed along with her.

I only shook my head and rolled my eyes in response.

"Then," Joke snickered "We should hang out more!"

"Yes! We definitely should!" Mic said.

"Ooh, how supportive!" Joke said. "Now you really have competition, Eraserhead!"

"Oho," Mic snickered. "Sorry, but I already have someone in mind."

What? You already have someone in mind? It's me, right? Aha, don't make me laugh.

"What?? Bummer." Joke pouted. "I shouldn't be surprised, though. A handsome guy like you must be the ladies' man one way or another, if you know what I'm saying~"

"Handsome? With that stupid hairstyle and personality?" I asked.

They both laughed their guts out. Jeez, why am I the one who's always surrounded with loud annoying people?

"Nevertheless you still wuv me, don't you, Ewasew?" Mic pouted, trying to look cute.

"AHAHAHAH good one, Mic!!" Joke continued laughing, dragging Mic into it as well.

While they were deep in their conversation, I decided to just turn around and leave.

I tried to clear my head, but there's a feeling that I couldn't shake off. What if that person actually wasn't me? It's not impossible.

After all the years that he's been overseas, for all I know he could be engaged by now.

But that kiss earlier. That must mean something, if anything. But seeing as it's a dimwit like him, he probably took it as a 'bro' thing, as he'd say.

I mean, you saw how he was with Joke. Already hugging and everything eventhough they just met.

Or maybe... I dunno.. Maybe I'm overthinking things. It's sickening.

I sighed.

While I was contemplating, I saw Shiro strutting his way into a dark alley. Normally I wouldn't follow anything into the dark, but it was Shiro. My most trustworthy companion who doesn't just hug anybody.

I trailed behind him and swept him up.

Suddenly I heard a noise from in front of me. I slowly stepped back when Shiro started meowing loudly. There might be a villain there.

I activated my quirk and shot my scarf into the darkness to inspect for a villain. I felt a light tug on my scarf.

But then it got stronger abruptly, choking me while pulling me in.

I struggled to fight the force.

I thought about using my quirk on them in advance, but no use. I couldn't see them.

"Shiro, run." I said with a strained voice. I know it sounds stupid, a grown man telling a cat to run off in order  to protect it. But I just... love Shiro so much.

Yes, I've said it time and time again, I'm pathetic, I know.

Shiro jumped out of my arms and ran off while I still strained to escape.
