The chase had not been long before the voice hero had cornered the young boy to a dead end after they had taken one wrong turn on the left. The kid seemed to be out of breath as their whole body was rising and falling as they desperately tried to find an escape, a fact Hizashi didn’t quite comprehend. They didn’t seem like a criminal, why was he running ? “ Hold on there little listener, you’re acting like I’m your worst nightmare before Christmas but I’m one of the good guys ! Present Mic, PRO HERO, you might have heard of me before ? ” His attempt to calm the other seems to be in vail as the boy only seems even more panicked now. " Let’s just calm down, shall we bud ?? I just wanted to check if you’re alright ? These streets tend to be popular among baddies, not really a place for a kid. “, he takes a step towards the other, voice soft. ” I just want to help, I’M NOT GOING TO HURT YOU. “ Before he has time to react the smaller male collapses on the cement with a thud.
Kneeling down he studies the boy. He clicks his tongue in annoyment for not being fast enough to catch the kid. He should have moved faster, damn it. A careful hand reaches the boy’s face, gently moving the hair away & exposing the left side of his face. He really couldn’t be much older than 11 or so. Hizashi remarks the face is awfully pale & their breathing sounded uneven. Was the boy running a fever ?? That could partially explain why they had passed out. Hizashi tries their forehead to be sure and came to the conclusion it was a little warm. He could drive the kid to the hospital but something tells him it’s not the smartest choice considering how OUT OF PLACE they had seemed just a moment before.
Without wasting another thought on the matter he delicately picks the boy up to his arms & starts his journey home. He’s almost too light to carry considering his height. When was the last time he had eaten ? Where did the kid even come from ? Why were they out at this hour & by themselves ? Why did he seem like he was absolutely terrified of the blonde ? So many questions spiraled in his head & YET HE HAD NO ANSWERS.
With the boy in his arms, he kicks the door open to his apartment & walks straight into the guest bedroom where he conveniently always had a made bed for unexpected guests. Most of the time it being Nemuri if she didn’t feel like taking the train by herself. He lays the boy down on the bed, untying their worn-out shoes before slipping them off along with the socks. He pulls his shirt off (which was in terrible condition, mind you) & fetches a t-shirt from his own closet as a replacement, obviously it was huge on the boy but it didn’t matter. The pants he decided to leave, the boy could change those himself once he wakes up.
Hopefully there would be some silly game show marathon on tonight as it seems like it was going to be another sleepless night for the voice hero.
