synopsis: do these acts of love mean that he truly likes you and wants to have something more with you, or does he only see you and his best friend and work partner.
As a former UA student in the hero course, you are of course, one of the best pro heroes out there. You’re in the top ten and you give a big thanks to your mentor, Aizawa Shota. You are able to be so great because of his teachings. After Aizawa taught your years and a few others, he decided to focus on creating his own agency. A rather small one, with only his most trusted students that he typically saw himself in.
Naturally, you were requested to join his agency right after graduating from UA, and who were you to say no? He’s your favorite teacher after all. Alongside you, the first student he urged to join his agency, Shinsou Hitoshi.
After Hitoshi transferred to the hero course, he was put into Class 1B, the same class you were a part of. You had seen Hitoshi’s quirk in action during the sports festival and your first thought was how amazing it would be against villains. However, you vividly remember the people around you getting scared about how he could easily use it with bad intentions.
Even after hearing their opinions, yours didn’t change, and when he transferred over into your class, you welcomed him kindly. He seemed like he enjoyed his personal space more than anything else, so you would only say hi and engage in casual conversation, nothing more, nothing less.
Once you both joined Aizawa's agency, you became partners and were frequently assigned missions together. The two of you formed quite the bond outside of the workplace and you were honestly his only friend. You both are now quite inseparable and your best friend, Tetsutetsu, always jokes that he’s getting replaced.
At the start of the week, you and Hitoshi were tasked with catching Mr. Compress. He was rumored to be seen more outside and Aizawa felt strongly about the fact that it was time to strike.
“Hitoshi! Any day now!” You complain in front of the bathroom door.
“Can’t I take a shit in peace?” He says back. You hear the toilet flush and the sink turn on.
When he finishes washing his hands, he walks out of the bathroom and gives you an innocent smile as if he didn’t make you guys late.
“Mr. Aizawa is going to kill us! We have to chase down a villain from the league of villains! Take it more seriously!” You scold before flicking his forehead as punishment.
“We’re okay, y/n. We’ll catch him just like we’ve caught all the others.” He says, trying to offer you some comfort.
It does actually relax you a little bit. Since the beginning of your friendship, it’s always been like this. Hitoshi is too laid back for you and you’re too uptight for him. But, the two of you balance each other out perfectly which is why you both can live together in a shared apartment provided by the agency.
You are about to walk into your workplace when you see Aizawa on the exact opposite side of the door.
“Hitoshi, I assume this was your doing.”
His face gets slightly red of embarrassment after being called out by his mentor.
Aizawa lets out a sigh and clenches his jaw, letting you know that he’s holding back from giving Hitoshi his own scolding.
“Well, the target has yet to make his move, so we’ve just been waiting anyway.”
Just then, Aizawa got a call on his walkie talkie. It was loud enough so you and Hitoshi could both hear it. It also helped that the guy on the other line was none other than Present Mic who’s voice could be heard from miles away.
He announced that the target was now on the move and he was moving rather diligently. Aizawa gave you both a nod to signal that it was time to go and you took off to the positions you were assigned.
You both watched Mr. Compress from different angles in different locations. He wasn’t in his typical outfit of course. He was wearing everyday clothes, no mask, and no ridiculously tall hat. You think he looked as if he had fixed himself up pretty well, but you can’t tell too well because it was roughly around midnight.
Thanks to some of the heroes who work behind the scenes, Mr. Compress’ phone was able to get bugged. The agency has access to anything incoming that he receives on his phone. This worked out perfectly when his phone buzzed. He stared at his screen, debating on if he was going to answer the phone or not.
Once he finally answered, the other heroes were listening to it back at the agency.
“Are you almost here?” A woman’s voice is heard. She sounds clearly impatient, as if she had things to do after meeting up with the villain.
“Will you stop rushing me? This is exactly why I prefer it when you come over.”
“Well, your friends are intimidating.”
“Who cares? You’re not there to see them anyway.”
He has an uninterested tone. It’s clear he wants to end the conversation and just get to his destination without being bothered.
“Whatever, just hurry up.”
He hangs up without responding and makes a turn towards the direction of a hotel room. You and Hitoshi had been slowly moving closer and closer to him as he continued walking. He walks into the hotel room and you and Hitoshi immediately make eye contact.
‘What the hell? Did he set up a sneaky link?’ Your thoughts make you giggle.
After waiting a while for him to leave the lobby and head over to his hotel room, you and Hitoshi stepped in.
Hitoshi explained everything to the receptionist in the lobby and told her it would be best if they could get the room closest to Mr. Compress’. You then chimed in at the very end and told the receptionist to warn the other staff members and evacuate the building immediately. It was clear that she was nervous, but she did as she was told and safely exited the building.
As you walked to your shared hotel room which was right across from Mr. Compress’ there were some rather inappropriate noises that could be heard. You and Hitoshi immediately looked at each other with your eyes wide and mouths agape.
You quickly unlocked the room and as soon as the door was locked you both collapsed to the floor and started dying laughing.
“Who knew villains still made time for their horny desires.” Hitoshi said while laughing and trying to keep his voice down.
“Oh god, we’re gonna be here all night.” You said in response, a tear from your laughter trickling down your cheek.
Hitoshi stands and puts his hand out for you to take. You grab his hand and he gently pulls you up to your feet. You’re both left standing very close to each other, gazing into each other's eyes, but still laughing. He still holds your hand in his even though you’re already up on your feet and he takes his other to wipe the tears that keep streaming down your face.
“I love seeing you happy like this.” He says, smiling.
“Awe, ‘Toshi, I should be saying that to you.”
He finally lets go of your hand and turns his head toward the beds in the room.
He thought there’d be beds, but there was in fact, only one bed.
You also see the singular full sized bed and look back at him with an embarrassed expression.
“You sleep, someone needs to keep watch through the peephole anyway.” He offers.
“No, you can sleep, you had to get up earlier today.”
“No, I know you’re more tired than me.” He argues back.
“Well,” You pause for a moment wondering if this would be awkward to request, “why don’t we both sleep, they won’t be done there anytime soon.”
“True, why would he rent a whole hotel room for a quickie.” He jokes.
You laugh and playfully slap Hitoshi’s arm.
He smiles and walks over to sit on what’s now his side of the bed. You walk over to the opposite side and make yourself snug under the covers. He does the same and then sets a very quiet alarm to wake him up in about an hour. He puts the phone down by his ear so he’ll be sure to hear it once it goes off.
