Memories (HxH x MHA)

Chapter 2

    "How long have you been here for?" The guy asked, his expression unreadable. The guy seemed like he was still in high school by how young he looked. Gon just continued to stare, hoping that he will finally be taken somewhere warm.
     "Where are your parents?" The guy asked as he crouched in front of Gon. Once again no response. He let out a sigh and then saw the wagon and box behind the boy. It seemed like he had been left alone for around a week.

     "The name is Eraserhead, I'm not exactly a pro hero yet, but I'm interning at an agency. That means I help citizens and patrol the streets. Can you grab your stuff and follow me?" Aizawa asked. Gon nodded his head. He smiled and gathered his belongings. Aizawa was shaken by how easily Gon agreed. If someone tried to take him, for example, a clown that is obsessed with bungee gum, Gon would have willingly gone and probably met his demise. Aizawa shook it off though, he was still a kid who needed to be taught things.

     "Done!" Gon announced. He had shoved everything into the large box and put it on the wagon. He made sure to not knock over his tadpole's tank while doing so. Aizawa nodded and grabbed the boy's hand and the handle to the wagon. Aizawa declared this his first mission during his internship. Gon looked around the streets, seeing ordinary people and then mutants.

     Another memory tried to show itself, but once again it was just a fuzzy and blurry sight. Gon was confused with these memories, he didn't know what they meant, he didn't even know if they were memories. Aizawa glanced down at the puzzled Gon, wondering what he was thinking. As they continued to walk, Gon's stomach began to growl. Gon stopped in his tracks, clenching his stomach.

     "Let's make a quick stop at the store," Aizawa explained, pointing at the direction of a supermarket. Gon beamed and went back to Aizawa's side, holding onto his hand tighter than before. Aizawa smiled just a bit slightly as the boy's joy was easily contagious. Once they arrive at the store, Aizawa stopped at the front, making sure that they allowed pets inside.

     "Sorry kid, but no pets are allowed inside," Aizawa said, crouching down. Gon's smile fell as he looked down at the ground. Then an idea popped into his head.
     "I stay?" Gon said. His adorable high pitched voice stabbed at Aizawa's heart.

     "That's too risky. I don't want someone to come and take you away. Plus your too young to be by yourself," Aizawa explained. Gon just owed, not understanding why someone would want to steal a child. Gon turned around to his pet tadpole and then grabbed the handle to the wagon. He began to walk with Aizawa following him. Gon went inside an alley and hid the wagon.

     "Go," Gon said, trying to tell him he's ready to leave. Aizawa nodded his head and then took a closer look at Gon. His hair was a mess. Aizawa took note of that as they began to head back to the store. Aizawa was surprised so far that no one stopped to question him or the small dirty boy. Although he wished if they stopped glaring and looking. The young boy had gone straight to the fruits, seeing that they were colorful and looked yummy. Aizawa went around and found a hairbrush and toothpaste in one of the aisles. Gon had insisted on getting hair gel, so Aizawa got that too.

     After they checked out, they headed back to the wagon, placing everything in the box. Although, Aizawa kept the hairbrush and gel out to do Gon's hair. Once he was done brushing it, Gon's hair magically began to stand up and form spikes. This confused Aizawa quite a lot, but brushed it of for now. He then began to gel his hair down, much to the boy's joy.
     "Let's go," Aizawa said, grabbing Gon's hand and the wagon. He decided to take him to the police and see how things go from there.

     When they arrived at the building, Gon began to panic. Aizawa noticed his trembling and tried to bring him inside. Gon just shook his head, tugging back.
     "Come on, we don't have forever," Aizawa stated. Gon frowned as he began to tug harder, but he was too weak and was easily picked up.
