What am I to you? - Erasermic fanfiction

coworkers

Years went by, a lot of things happened, a lot of things changed.
But my friendship with Shota remained. He kept the promise we made on that day.
We see each other almost everyday at work, in the same place we met, it brings back a lot of memories. We also see each other quite frequently at the bar, with the other teachers or just by ourselves. We usually go there to get a drink before our hero night work.
Our lives became quite busy. Teachers in the morning, pro heroes at night. And I have my radio show once a week.
Shota's mother passed away shortly after he moved out... he barely spoke a word about it but I could see that he was broken on the inside. He had a lot of repressed feelings and unspoken emotions inside him, so I guess he used all that negative emotion to fight villans during his hero work. He is indeed a remarkable hero who preferes to stay in the shadows. He's known to be grumpy, cold and an overly strict person but not many know that he has an incredibly soft side to him. After all those years... I still had a crush on him. We never really touched on what happened between us in the past. Even tho I wanted to, just didn't know how to or when to dress it, nor I had the courage to.
But luckily, our relationship was about to take another turn...

*7:50 am: UA teacher's room*

-Good Morning shou-chan!!
-Aaaah you gotta be so damn loud in the morning?! - Says Shota while sitting up on the couch and turning to the door, still inside his sleeping bag
-Because it's the best part of the day of course 😄
-I think there's a loose screw in your brain...
-Aw don't be rude shou-chan!
-And I stop calling me that, specially at work 😡
-But I like iiiiit 😣 why are you so grumpy anyways, rough night?
-Yeah... had to deal with five bastards at the same time and somehow one of them got away. My boss at the agency got pissed.
-I'm sorry to hear that. How about I buy you a drink later, to cheer you up?
-No. I'd rather sleep.
-aw c'mon! It's the bar next to the pet shop, you can look at the cats before we go get a drink!
-.....fine.
-Sweet! Hey, by the way, shouldn't you be heading to your class before bakugo explodes another desk again?
-Yeah sure, just give me 5 more min..zzzzz
-*Sights* oh damn it... well, I guess pro hero present mic has to save the day again! ☝

Hizashi picks up Shota, who's still inside the sleeping bad and carries him on his shoulder to the 1-A classroom.

-Hey! Mic! Put me down! I'm already awake!
-And we arrived to the final destination!

As mic stops in front of the classroom door, he hears screams from inside:

-DEEKUU YOU FUCK!
-Katsuki Bakugo, as the class representative, I cannot allow you to use such language inside the classroom!
-K-kacchan, wait!!!
*KABOOM!*
-Kerooo!
-Yo bakugo, what the hell?!
...
-And there goes another desk... - Sighs Hizashi
-Uuuugh, why is everyone around me so loud?!-Complains shota, still on Hizashi's shoulder.

*Later that day*

-Hey, there you are!-Says Hizashi after spotting Shota, looking at the window of the pet shop
-Oh hey.
-You came earlier! That's unusual..
-I came earlier because of the cats.
-Aw c'mon, don't tell me you like the cats more than me?!
-Yes.
-You could just pretend for the sake of my feelings... 😢 wait. So with that you also admitted to like me! Hehe!
-J-Just shut up and let's go inside, my shift is going to begin in 30 minutes.
-Yessir! I gotta buy you a drink for good luck!

Little did I know, that I was the one who needed luck, for the night ahead of me...
