The Vigilante Mental

Chapter 3

⚠️ Warning: gayness up ahead (erasermic)
If you are uncomfortable with this I recommend you either ignore it or not read this story as it will have a lot of erasermic.

(Izuku's POV)

"Akoooo!!!" Mei screams running over to me on the sidewalk, her pink hair flowing down to her waist. She wore a black crop top with a symbol in the left corner where her heart would be and a pair of light denim shorts. She held a small hand bag over her left arm and some black jogging shoes. I hum in acknowledgement, already used to her energetic and loud nature.
"Can we get Ice-cream pleaseeee" she says, with a bouce in her step, I roll my eyes at her childishness and nod my head with a small smile making its way onto my face. She starts jumping up and down with stars in her eyes (Jeez girl, obsessed much?)
"But" I say, stopping her in her tracks "only if you help me with my blueprints" she quickly nods her head and starts walking again "Okay!"

...How we got here so quick, I don't know, but we arrived at the ice cream shop in a pure 5 mins

we were a good 15 minutes away....
"What flavour do you want Ko?" Mei asks, walking towards the front counter, I ignore the girls nickname and look up at the menu
"ummm....I'll have a chocolate mint please" I say scanning the room for a place to sit, I find one in the corner of the room and start heading over to wait for Mei. I shudder when I feel an invisible pressure reach my neck, I quickly then around and see a man with black shaggy hair, who I immediately recognised as Sho, Eraserhead. And another man with bright blonde hair and black glasses, who I recognised as Mic, Sho's husband (EraserMic for life!) sitting at a table not to far away from where I was heading. I turn around trying not to look suspicious and calmly walking over to the seat I was eyeing.

"Here Ko" Mei says handing me my ice cream, she sits across from me in the booth and immediately looks over at Sho and Hizashi "there's some guys watching us" she says quietly, her eyes full of worry and suspicion.
"It's fine" I say, keeping up the facade of an 'innocent boy'
"their pro hero's" I add on, I see her quickly turn her head back in my direction
"How do you know?" She questions. I lick my ice cream, flavour bursting in my mouth as I say
"because I study hero's" I mean, it's not much of a lie...I study them, and their back ground, I then learn their fighting style and come up with ways to defeat them if I ever came across them.
"Really!?" Mei asks in an excited tone, I nod my head and take a bite out of my ice cream, the cold causing pain in my teeth.
"Oof- cold" I say, closing my eyes and waiting for the cold to pass. I hear Mei giggling at me but ignore it.

"Welp we better leave" I say standing up,
"Amai, Reiko and Minaku are all waiting" I add on. Mei stands up and gathers her things
"okay!" She says giving me a closed eyed smile. We head to the door and I notice Sho and Hizashi also getting up. 'Sorry Sho' I say in my head. I put my hand in Mei's, she looks over surprised and stares at me, confusion evident. I nod over to Sho and Hizashi and, luckily, she gets it. She smiles and pulls me out of the shop and starts skipping. Sadly pulling me alone. We start to slow down once out of eye view,
"your house?" Mei asks looking over at me, falling into sequence with my footsteps. I nod my head and hum. Suddenly I feel something stalking us from a couple of meters behind us. I turn around at a break-neck speed and scan over the figure. I sigh when the figure of Sho emerges.
"Sir, why are you following us?" I say, pretending to not know who he is.
"Where'd you get the scars kid?" He replies, Oof a sore spot. I have scars littered all over my body, some more evident than others so I'm quite self-conscious of them.
"From building support items" I say, pulling Mei behind me in a protective manner. I know he won't hurt her, I just need to act like I don't know him, and he could just be a predator.
"Things explode" I add on making Sho sigh
"I won't hurt you kid, I'm a pro hero"
"Well thats not what Endevor said when he killed a bunch of innocent people" I say, 'sorry Sho' I think, mentally wincing
"That is true" Sho sighs "but why are you building support items? Are you in the support course?" He questions. I smile.
"No sir, but we're applying this year" I say, waving over to Mei, Sho hums and nods. He must have picked that up from me whenever we meet on patrol.
"Okay, cya kid" Sho says turning away and running back to Hizashi, who was listening in on the whole conversation.
I turn around and see Mei with a smile on her face, it makes its way further across her face until her whole face was filled with a toothy grin. "You look up to him don't you" she says in a teasing tone. I blush and look away "no..." she laughs and grabs my hand pulling me all the way back to my house.

——— Shota's POV

I enter the UA teachers lounge with an empty coffee cup in hand 'damn problem children' I walk over to the sofa where Nem (midnight) is on her phone, she looks up as I sit down and put my head in her lap, laying horizontally. (This is a sibling relationship between Nemuri and Sho. Same goes with Hizashi, so no EraserNight or MicNight)
"what's wrong Sho?" Nem's voice quietly says, as she puts her phone down and starts combing through my tattered hair with her fingers. "Me and Zashi were getting ice cream when we saw a young boy with scars everywhere on his body" I sigh. She stops combing my hair and looks down. "Is he okay?" She says with worry. I nod my head to the best of my ability "apparently he makes support equipment in training for the support course this year, supposedly things explode quite frequently" I say quietly, Nem starts to once again run her fingers through my hair. "Okay" she says tiredly. She lays her head down on the side of the couch and immediately falls asleep. Her hands in my hair. I decide to rest, I mean why not, She gets to.
