|Contention| Eraserhead x Reader x Present Mic x All Might

Part 14

The three of us walked out together, one of them at each of my sides as we got outside of the stadiums and toward the stalls of the festival. Even though Shouta was wrapped in bandages, it was obvious he was a little annoyed at something, but he was like this when Hizashi was around from my experience at least.

Hizashi looked over my head to Shouta with his toothy grin, "Come on Eraserhead, you're the one that insisted on joining us, quit being a buzzkill, ya dig?!" That got an almost audible groan from Shouta and it made me chuckle. They were certainly an odd pair. I don't know how they were anything close to friends in high school.

Almost as soon as we got to a more crowded area, Hizashi was stopped to be talked to by fans of his. After a short conversation, we moved on to walk and look at the stalls but got stopped again. Shouta seemed to be annoyed at it, "Let's just leave him and get something to eat. Mic seems to be having more fun talking to his fans anyway."

"That would be rude, Eraserhead." I looked at Shouta, using his hero name almost mockingly, and glanced between the two, Hizashi who was talking to people about the festival, and Shouta who obviously wanted me to have fun.

He sighed, "I have a solution." Shouta said before walking over to Hizashi and saying something to him quietly before walking back over to me. "So what do you feel like eating? We'll go get food, and we'll meet up again. Sound good?"

I nodded with a smile, "Sure." I looked to Hizashi and waved slightly when I saw him glance over in my direction. After I walked with Shouta to get some food, getting a couple things, for both Shouta and I. It was a bit loud and crowded but what would you expect on a lunch break?

After a bit, we got what we wanted and decided to walk to a less crowded part of campus for staff only and sat under a big tree. The breeze was gently blowing and the smell of delicious food spread even this far away from the stalls. We sat in the shade as I had the bag of food on my lap.

Shouta reached for some food and I gave him a stern look, I wanted him to wait to eat until Hizashi got here. He sighed, "He's always late; let's eat while we have the time." My stern look held and he sighed, leaning his head back against the tree and closing his eyes, taking a small nap as we waited.

It was only a few minutes before Hizashi came walking back, waving at me, "Hey there my favorite listener! I hope you didn't miss me too much over that long commercial break." He said as he sat next to me in the grass, under the tree with his food.

The way he talked always made me chuckle, "You have a lot of fans; I think that's really cool." I said as I handed Shouta his food.

"You hear that? Having a lot of listeners is a good thing." He said, obviously talking to Shouta who I wouldn't say has many fans due to his lack of appearance in media.

Shouta was already eating and looked at Hizashi with a small huff but didn't say anything. I looked at him with a smile, "Well then I guess I'm probably Shouta's number one fan!" Under all the bandages I couldn't see it but is face heated up, and his heart beat a little faster as he turned to look back at what he was eating.

"Well if you're already my number one fan, I don't need any others," Shouta said in his dull tone, trying not to let how hard his heart was beating show.

Hearing that line made Hizashi look at him, surprised he would ever say something like that, before looking over at me to see if it worked.

I ate my food and blushed a bit. I'm sure he didn't mean it like that; it was just because we were friends for so long, right? The more I thought about it the more it made me blush as I finished my food. "I, um, I have to get back to work! Thanks for having lunch with me!" I said before quickly walking off with a hand on my cheek, trying to feel how warm it actually was.

Seeing that reaction made Shouta look at Hizashi, "Checkmate."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Hizashi stood up and looked down at him. "You definitely haven't won her over yet. Love takes time to blossom just like the best kind of love songs, and you've got a head start. Just you wait!"

Eventually, the rest of the Sports festival resumed and I stayed in the office for most of it, only getting up to print out offers for students that agencies already had started sending in and keeping them organized. I was in charge of the first years for the most part, but the most that would be sent in would be over the next two days that the students have off for recovering from the festival.

I was told I could come in or work from home the next two days, as long as I got the internship offers in order, I was good to sit at home in pajamas. I walk home for the night and fall asleep on the couch before I could even eat anything for dinner.
