Guiding Star

Chapter 13- Helping An Old Friend Pass:

Ever since Aizawa confessed his feelings towards Roman things have been going... well great. Aizawa never stopped spoiling and complementing Roman and she did her best to return that love tenfold. They would take turns cooking for each other, she learned from Hizashi that Aizawa never cooked for anyone not even him so she should feel honored; and she did, he was an excellent cook. They had his friends (Hizashi, Nemuri, and Toshinori) join them for dinner once. Roman found it fun to introduce herself to his friends who knew nothing about her until that dinner, she then realized Hizashi only knew cause he after all was Aizawa's longest living friend.

"So how did you two meet?" Toshinori asked and Roman gave a small chuckle.

"Well I had just robbed a bank and Aizawa followed me home." Roman said with a shrug and they all looked nervous but laughed, "then we kept talking when he was out on patrols."

"Thats sweet!" Nemuri said with a smile, "So is he the reason you wanted to become a Pro?"

"Well i had always wanted to help people but the way i got the means to do so was wrong." Roman said setting her chopsticks down, "but Aizawa did help me onto the path of good and helped convince Nezu and the other Pro Hero's to give me a second chance. So really i do owe all of this to him." Roman said with a smile that he equally returned.

"Its spooky how well they get along together. I mean Aizawa smiling, only ive been able to do that a few times. Roman has him smiling every five seconds." Hizashi said making everyone chuckle but Aizawa. "Roman is good for you, were all so happy for you." He continued and Aizawa then smiled at his friends.

"Now which one of you cooked this? Because honestly this is the best grilled mackerel i've had in a long time." Nemuri said and everyone hummed in agreement. "And the miso soup compliments it perfectly.

"Well actually it was a combination of both of us, Roman made the soup and i grilled the mackerel. She set the table and i made sure everything was seasoned to perfection." Aizawa said and everyone looked between them amazed.

"You two really compliment each other perfectly." Toshinori said with a smile and Roman blushed while Aizawa nodded. The rest of the dinner went smoothly, they talked together and laughed while Aizawa took care of the dishes. They gave Roman and Aizawa all sorts of compliments about their relationship and Nemuri was almost disappointed when Roman confirmed that they were taking it slow but understood.

Once everyone was out of the dorm room heading back to their own Roman and Aizawa turned on the TV and watched some movie that was playing. Roman had developed enough energy to give Sliny a form and George and Cerberus loved their new friend. Aizawa also loved the fact he got to see Slinky again after all those years past, he nearly cried when he saw Sliny again.

Sliny was sleeping on Aizawa's lap and George was sitting on Romans shoulders, Cerberus was sleeping by their feet and Roman smiled contented. She leaned on Aizawa as she watched the movie and found herself being lulled to sleep by the endless talking during the movie.

Roman woke up in bed next to Aizawa and smiled happily, morning like this made her heart swell. Sam was in the kitchen wandering around and Roman raised a brow. "What are you doing?" Roman signed and he made his way to her side.

"Reminiscing i guess?" Sam said sitting in the chair in front of her. "I've just been thinking a lot lately about being a spirit."

"Do you want to move on?" Roman signed and he shrugged. "Tell me what will help you pass and i'll see what i can do." Roman signed and he looked away almost ashamed.

"I don't know what i want, that's the problem. There's two sides of me waging war inside of me and I'm conflicted." Sam said with a sigh and Roman looked at the confusion in his eyes.
