The Empathetic Eraserhead

Chapter 18

When the trio arrived at the small pizza shop, they sat down, and got their drinks, Yuki got a soda, Shouta got one of their house juices, and Shinso got some tea.

"So, after UA, what do you have planned Shinso," Yuki asked as she took a sip of her drink.

"I'm not sure, hopefully before then, I'll be admitted into the hero's course, that's my main focus at the moment. Aizawa sensei has been training me in different fighting styles, and I'm grateful." he said as their pizza came. "Thank you."

"Aww, Shouta, that's sweet of you," Yuki gushed at the grumpy man, as she got a slice of the delicious looking pizza. "You're just a big softie aren't you," Yuki smiled at Shouta.

"Just don't spread it around please," Shouta chuckled, as he got a piece of pizza as well. As they ate, some petty thief came into the shop, and he wanted to force the young cashiers to give up all the cash in the registers. There were two thieves, one was all muscled out, and the other one had a mutation quirk, making him look like a werewolf.

"Just shut up and gave us the money, brat," one of the thieves was yelling at the cashier, scaring her even more.

"Aizawa, I'll get the werewolf if you want to get the other one," Shinso whispered to Shouta.

"Just be careful," Yuki said, as she went behind, to see if there was anyone else in the back, to get them to safety.

"You too Yuki, let's hope the smaller one has a quirk," Shouta said, as he got his capture weapon ready, and his yellow goggles. As Yuki managed to sneak into the back, she turned her quirk on, just to see if anyone was in there, trapped. She felt one more emotion, fear, from someone behind some of the kitchen equipment, and went to find him.

"Hey, I'm here to help, are you hurt," she asked the scared man.

"I'm fine, how's Momo, my coworker," he asked, looking over himself.

"She's fine, let's go back this way, they didn't see me come back here," Yuki mentioned, as she led the man, as they went back to the front. As they escaped, and Yuki got the man to call for the authorities, Yuki prayed for Shouta and Shinso's safety.

With Shouta, and Shinso, Shouta was fighting with the smaller thief. Turns out they had a glue quirk, something not very flashy, but good for stealing from the stores, or anything small like that.

"Why can't I glue them together," the girl mumbled to herself, with Shouta behind her, with his capture weapon almost all around her. Capturing her was easy enough.

"You were easy enough for me, such a shame," Shouta said, scaring the woman, as his scarf wrapped around her waist and tying her up.

With Shinso, his was also easy, with his quirk, it was super easy.

"Sir, can you not steal, I was enjoying a cheat day," Shinso tried to irritate the wolfman, trying to get him to talk to him so he could tell him to surrender.

"Who the hell are you kid," Wolfie asked Shinso, falling into his plan.

"It doesn't matter, but you should surrender, and wait for the cops to come to deal with you," Shinso said, as the wolfman just stood there, waiting for the cops to arrest them. "Hey Aizawa sensei, how did you do," the purple haired boy asked his favorite teacher.

"I got her, scared the poor girl, but she's captured."

"That's good, let's go out with them, so the cops can arrest both of them," Shinso suggested, looking at his teacher to see if that was a good idea.

"Sure, let me wrap this one up," Shouta replied as he used some more of his capture weapon on the taller man, to tie him up. "They were pretty easy," he said, as they walked out of the small shop, thieves in tow.

"That was quick," Yuki beamed at the two heroes, even if one of them was a student.

"They weren't too tough, did someone call for help," Shouta asked her.

"Yeah, they should be here any minute," someone else mentioned, as the thieves just stood there, sulking.

"Well, let me do this one thing," Shinso said as he went to walk towards the tied up duo. "Hey, you two, why?"

"Because, we wanted all their money," the small woman told Shinso.

"It's a small shop," he sighed out, "Anyway you and wolfie should just fall asleep," he sighed out, as the duo fell asleep.

"Good idea Shinso," Shouta said as he patted his back. Once the cops came, they arrested the thieves, and also got some more details from Yuki, Shouta and Shinso.

"We should head back, it's getting real late," Yuki said, as she looked at her watch. "It's almost midnight." As the three headed back, Yuki wanted to ask Shinso why he wasn't in the hero course, his quirk was interesting, and it would be really helpful. While Yuki was deep in thought, she failed to notice that she was behind Shouta and Shinso, and she was coming up to a crack in the sidewalk, and if she wasn't careful enough she might trip. With Yuki still thinking, she tripped over the crack, falling and skinning her knee.

"Ow, that wasn't smart," she laughed at herself. Shouta noticed Yuki was quiet, and turned to see what she was doing. He looked back, just as Yuki fell, and almost rushed to her side, to help her up.

"How did you fall," Shouta asked her as he helped her up, chuckling a bit.

"Deep in thought, and wasn't paying attention," she sheepishly said, blushing a bit. "Oww, I must have scraped my knee," she said, feeling how good his arms were around her dainty waist.

"Let me see, I should have a band aid in my belt," he said as he looked, not finding one. "Never mind, I must have ran out." Shouta sighed out.

"I should have a few," Yuki said as she looked in her pocketbook, finding a small tin. She blushed even more, considering that she had got the band aids that looked like Eraserhead, and got the smaller one, the one that looked like his scarf.

"Nice ones," he chuckled out, as she gave him the smaller sized band aids, as he placed it on the small scrape on her knee.

"It's all they had," she lied, the store had plenty and some normal, non hero based ones, but she wanted to get some type of Eraserhead merch, no matter how small it was. She admired him for sure, but even more now that she works with him.

"Sure," he said in disbelief, knowing that most stores had a surplus of band aids, smiling at the smaller woman.

"It was!" Yuki said blushing even harder, even when he was arguing with her, she thought he was so handsome.

"Sure sure, if you say so," Shouta said, as Shinso laughed at the pair.

"You two fight like an old married couple," he laughed out, as he watched both of them, making both of them blush.

"We do not," Yuki said softly, trying to see if the scrape went deeper by bending it a bit, it stung, but no more damage, just some broken skin that should heal in a few days.

"You two remind me of my parents, when they decided to let me stay," he said, remembering how bad his parents argued to let him stay at UA. "Don't get me wrong, it's cute."
