My Hero Acadamia Short Stories (Volume 1)

Shift: Part 13 (Shinsou)

"Come on I want to take you somewhere." Shinsou said as he dragged me out of my room.

"Where are we going?" I asked him. I had just changed into some more comfortable clothes after class. He didn't say anything as he pulled me out of the building by my hand. He pulled me to another part of the school that I hadn't been to yet. We walked up the steps and he stopped us before reaching the doors.

"Close you eyes." He told me. I smiled and did what he told me and he gently pulled me into the building. " No peaking." He told me, and I took a deep breath as we walked in and I smelled something familiar. A stale oldish smell, almost like something was rotting and it was putting out a beautiful smell. "Okay, now you can look." He told me and I opened my eyes, to see hundreds of thousands of books.

"What is this place?" I asked him and walked forward spinning around in circle looking at all the books on shelves, some were piled.

"It's a library." Shinsou told me. "You said you wanted to learn everything. I figured this would be a good place to start." I smiled before hopping and running over to a shelf. I heard Shinsou laugh under his breath as he followed me. I walked down an aisle and ran my fingers over the spines of the books. 

"Where do I start?" I asked him. 

"That's up to you." He told me, and stopped at a red book. I pulled it off the shelf and read the cover. 

'Little Red Riding Hood'

"I want this one." I said, Shinsou looked at the cover and looked at me. 

"Are you sure?" He asked me. I nodded and hugged it to my chest. "You okay?" 

"Father used to call me his Little Red." I told him. "I never understood what he meant." He nodded at me before pulling me farther into the library. After a while I had a small stack of books in my arms, and even though I wanted to find more, but Shinsou told me I couldn't cause I could only borrow so many at a time. He led me over towards a desk and helped me check the books out, and we went back to dorm. Shinsou laughed at my pile of books, meanwhile he only had one. 

"Here, let me help." He said and went to grab some of them and I turned them away from him. 

"No. I got them." I told him, and slowed down for a minute as I thought. "Hey Shinsou?" 

"Yes?" He asked me back and I stopped walking.

"Was, that a date?" I asked him, and I stared down at my books. He didn't say anything. "Are we, dating?"

"Do you want to?" He asked me. 

"I don't know." I told him. "I don't exactly know what to do."

"Well there's no specific way to date." He said and I glanced up at him. His cheeks were red, and his face was flustered. 

"I mean we kissed, multiple times, and Momo made a big deal out of it." I said and shook my head. "I'm sorry, she just got me thinking about it. We don't have to talk about it." I started walking again. I heard him run after me and stood in front of me. He grabbed the sides of my face and lifted my face up and away from my books, and kissed me.

"I would love to date you." He told me. "If that's what you want." I could feel my face getting warm and my heart started racing.

"I'd like that." I told him.

"Then that means I have to take you out on a proper date." He told me and we walked back into the dorm building.

"Whats a proper date?" I asked him. 

"Dinner and a movie, a nice dinner." He said. 

"What about a reading date?" I asked.

"Is that what you want to do?" Shinsou asked me as he helped me up the stairs, and then opened my dorm room.

"Yeah." I said, and placed my books on my desk.

"Okay, well before we have our reading date." He said and placed his book next to all of mine. "I have to go somewhere."

"Where are you going?" I asked him.

"It's a surprise." He told me and kissed me on my forehead. "I'll be back soon." I nodded as he left. I pulled my phone out after he left and texted Momo.

'Hi.'

'Hey girly what's up?'

'Me and Shinsou are dating.'

I waited for a response, but one never came. After about a minute my door got busted open and Momo came in with the happiest expression on her face.

"You're dating!" She yelled happily and Mina appeared out of nowhere behind her.

"Yay! I had a feeling you were going to get together." Mina said and they both hugged me.

"So how'd it happen?" Momo asked and we sat on my bed. I explained what happened, and Mina started squealing.

"I'm so happy for you." Mina told me after she got a hold of herself.

"Yeah I think you two are great for each other." Momo told me and I took a breath only to lose the smile on my face, and looked towards my open window. "What's wrong?" She asked. I shot out of bed and into the hallway. I sniffed again and raced down the stairs with Momo and Mina following behind. When I left the stairs I saw Kiri with his clothes torn and he was a little bloody.

"Kiri!" I said and ran to him. Their stench was all over him. "What happened?"

"There were five of them." He said. "They were, they were. . . . ." He tried saying what they were, but he didn't have to tell me. I already knew who it was. "They took Bakugo."

"What?" Mina asked, and helped Kiri sit down. "Who?"

"My bothers." I said.

"Y/n?" I heard and looked at the door. Shinsou walked in with a bag in his hand. I smelled the air, he went and got Ramen. "What's going on?" 

"Call Hawks." I told him, and went out the door.

"Hey, whats going on?" He asked again and grabbed my arm.

"My brothers took Bakugo." I told him. 

"You realize this has to be a trap right?" He asked me, but let go of my arm.

"Yes." I told him. "But I'm not about to let them get away with hurting a friend." I then ran away from him turning into a wolf and taking off down the quiet street.
