I thought about the song the anonymous caller suggested, and something about the call drew me towards it, "I'm gonna sing the second caller's suggestion. I have a strong feeling it's important."
"Alright, well while we set up I'll roll some words from our sponsors." Mic hit a few buttons and the 'Live' light went off again.
"That was strange," Aizawa mumbled and I just stared at the phone for a moment, "You ok?" He squeezed my hand and I turned to look at him.
"Yea? I'm just kind of confused," I sighed, "I'll probably get it once I start singing it. I just feel like it's really important."
He nodded, "Alright."
I ended up on the other side of the room at a standing microphone with a shock mount all fancy-like. I'd never been in a studio like that before so it was odd, but exciting at the same time. I anxiously watched Mic do his thing before the light went back on.
"Are y'all ready for some entertainment?" Mic exclaimed in pure joy as he threw his hands in the air, "I know I am! Akahana are you ready?"
"I think so," I chuckled, fiddling with the papers in front of me. They had printed out the lyrics for me just in case.
Mic held up his hand to initiate a count down as I took a deep breath.
"Sneaky, greedy, money seeking Always peeping, fucking creeping Got it on the down low So you think you always squeaky. What if I had told your mother," I was trying my hardest to sing well since it had been a while, but I was also trying to pay attention to the words I was say, "Her son was a cruel motherfucker? Ah."
I had a strong feeling the person meant for this to be in my point of view of the situation, "It's not just me, it's everybody Who thinks that you're fucking ugly When you come and hurt us Just so you can get your money. Forced to follow the leader, Who's being possessed by demons. I've tried to make you listen But you won't, it's your way, right? Killing kids all day and night Prescription pills and online fights Shooting at the angels while Claiming you're the good guy All you want is cash and hype
Fuck our dreams and that's not right."It hit me like a ton of bricks- the song was about Endeavor, "The principal, oh, oh Oh, where's the principle? Oh, where's the principle? Oh, where's the principle? Oh, oh Oh, where's the principle? Oh, where's the principle?" I start singing with more feeling, "Complicated, overrated You're fixated and elated By the separation in this place that you've created. Fuck all of your rules and guidelines You shouldn't even be on the sidelines."
I could feel my eye twitch slightly thinking about everything he had done, "Can't you see that we're all hurtin'? If you're not teaching, we're not learnin' Excuse me, how much are you earnin'? I've tried to make you listen But you won't, it's your way, right? Killing kids all day and night Prescription pills and online fights Shooting at the angels while Claiming you're the good guy All you want is cash and hype Fuck our dreams and that's not right The principal, oh, oh Oh, where's the principle? Oh, where's the principle? Oh, where's the principle? Oh, oh Oh, where's the principle Oh, where's the principle?"
At that point I could feel the spirit of his kids standing in line with me, "You don't know the pain that you are causing Yeah, your actions hurt, so do your words The more you try to fuck us over We will be there yelling at your front door," I bared my teeth silently, "I've tried to make you listen But you won't, it's your way, right?"
I sat silently in the front seat on the way back. The rest of the show was fun to say the least, but I was still trying to figure out who it was on the phone. It had to have been either Shoto or Natsuo, but I couldn't tell by just voice alone.
"Hey," Mic worriedly glanced over at me from the driver seat, "are you ok? I'm sorry if it felt like I was forcing you."
I looked over at him and smiled a little, "I'm fine Hazashi, the caller just threw me off."
He nodded and Aizawa leaned forward, "Do you think it was Todoroki?"
"It has to be a Todoroki, but the question I'm asking is which one," I sighed, "It was a male so it could've been any of the three."
"You really think Toya would've called up to the station?" Mic asked incredulously.
"Knowing him," I chewed on my nail, "yeah; if he's still alive."
We pulled into the parking spot in front of their apartment and got out, "Would you like to stay for a little bit with me while Hazashi goes grocery shopping?" Aizawa asked, gently putting an arm around my waist as we walked inside.
I nodded as he lead me to the kitchen while Mic went to change. I made us some tea, and sat at the table with him, "After Mic leaves I'll change out your bandages."
"Ok," he took a moment to sip his drink gently, "So what do you think of my class?"
"Hm?" I raised an eyebrow at him and set my cut down, "That's a random question."
He shrugged, "I'm just curious."
"Well," I leaned forward and rested my chin on my palm, "they all have exceptional quirks; especially that Midoriya kid."
"He's a weird one." He nodded in agreement.
"I took quirk genetics and he doesn't fit," I threw up a hand and leaned back in my chair, "Who develops a quirk that destroys their own body like that?"
Aizawa shrugged and dipped his tea again, "I don't know, but he's going to get on my nerves."
