"I think you should be the one tutoring me. I've made so many mistakes in one sentences that I don't even think it's English at this point." I hand Shinsou's laptop back to him. He has a purple case which is adorable itself because everyone seems to think he's an emo that wears all black when in reality he's just a closeted cat lover. As if his laptop case doesn't prove that already cause it's littered with cat stickers and cat memes which I find adorable. I never understood why people think he's intimidating, yeah he has a powerful quirk, but if you're going by that logic then everyone should be scared of Midoriya. He breaks his bones as if it's breathing air, which is concerning itself. Shinsou is just really hot. Maybe I'm a little biased.

I mean just look at the guy, who wouldn't drool over him. Stay focused Denki!

He is my tutor, but at this point he gave up on tutoring after I never showed up the first ten lessons. I practically forced him to be my friend after that and I'm glad I did. I would've never had these moments with him. Studying in his purple themed room. All in all it's one hell of a comfy room. I say it beats Sero's, and he has a hammock! Shinsou's room has a dark purple rug on the floor, a bean bag chair in the corner, and stars on his ceiling. That's an automatic win in my book.

We've been probably doing this studying thing for an hour now and when I mean studying I mean Shinsou is typing up his English essay he decided to start early while I stare at my math homework for another hour. Fun. We've been helping each other, but honestly I don't have the guts to tell Shinsou that I can't understand anything on this paper. The numbers feel jumbled together and I can't focus enough to understand the value of each. So to distract myself I'll grammar check Shinsou's English essay every so often so he won't get suspicious, but soon he'll ask why I haven't written anything down on my paper. 

I give up, you win brain

"That's hilarious. The only thing I'm good at is English, and you're not even that bad. You just mix up your tenses." He isn't bad at English at all, he's just downgrading himself like he usually does. I don't have the heart to tell him that I'm not even correcting everything though. I know his teacher will definitely be suspicious if Shinsou randomly got a 100 on a paper. Not to brag, but the first paper we had to write I got a 100, which got Mic to like me a whole lot more. It also got Aizawa suspicious since it was the only class I had an A in, but that's a story for another time. 

"Denki you are by far the best at English out of everyone I know. You're probably even better than Present Mic! You are hands down the biggest literature nerd I know. No one else can sit and have a heated argument with themselves about how Dally, from the Outsiders, could've lived. By the end of your little presentation I knew the whole book beginning to end without even opening the actual book. Don't even get me started on how the book is written in English and you managed to read it with no problem." He's making big gestures with his arms which really makes me think I've been rubbing off on him because he most definitely didn't do this in the beginning of us talking or maybe this is how Shinsou really acts?

"It was a one time thing, no one really pays attention when I do that anyway. So it's basically your fault for listening. You could've left the common room like everybody else." I pout before finally placing down my pencil. Who am I kidding, I'm not actually gonna get this work completed. 

"Well how could I leave when you were so passionate about it. You thought the whole theory through and when Momo asked you about it your eyes lit up as if you were waiting for that moment. You didn't kill the mood or anything like that. You just really wanted someone to listen to you ramble, so I did. It's their lost for leaving anyway." Marry me. Marry me right fucking now Shinsou Hitoshi. 

"I would've been fine with you leaving. I was just rambling about the book. Half of the time I wasn't even speaking Japanese."

"I know. At some point there was English and I could've sworn you were doing some sort of sign language with your hands since you were moving them quite a lot." All Might, that's embarrassing.

"And you stayed and watched the whole thing even though you couldn't understand me?"

"Yeah. You were so into it that you forgot about your surroundings and just let your thoughts out. I found it cute." Yup. Time to die. It was an okay life I lived, but death will be even better.

"ANYWAY'S WHAT TIME IS IT?" Can't be late. Can't be late. Can't be late.

"Almost 3 o'clock. Why, you got somewhere you need to be?" I'm not late. No where near it, I might even be early. 

"Nothing special, I just have to be home by 5." I can see Shinsou visibly tense from my answer which is never a good sign. I hope I didn't trigger something? 

"That reminds me. We never talked about that day." He slowly says the words as if he's taming a wild animal and I don't know how to feel about that.

"Hm? What day?" Oh you know damn well what day he's talking about, but play the dumb blonde. It won't get you far.

"That day where you stuffed your face with the food from the cafe? We went to a park after and then I took you to your family's "house"? I know I'm not the person you want to talk about this with, but I haven't told anyone else and I'm pretty sure you kept it a secret. I also know you probably don't want to have this discussion, but I want to make sure your safe. I care about you Denki." If this wasn't a serious conversation I would've teased Shinsou about that last statement, then died because it was a statement. Lying to Shinsou isn't one of my favorite hobbies especially since he could just get me to say the truth with one question, but I know he wouldn't. I trust him and that's why I'm gonna lie straight to his face.

"I'm perfectly fine Shinsou. I was only visiting someone that day, so when I said I had to go home I went back to where he was staying. He's like a grandpa to me." Okay so I'm not lying, but I'm being very vague to the point that he wont know that I got kicked out of my own house. Well, Mr. Akagi's house. 

"Then who was that kid that came up to you, he obviously knew your name. Then there were other people there as well not just that man you see as a grandpa. There was also the fact that they were in an alley and they all seemed to know you well and this all doesn't make sense to me." I love that he cares and is worrying about me, but there is literally nothing to be worried about. I'm taking care of myself and he doesn't need to stress about that. He already is losing sleep cause of his insomnia, can't have him losing sleep over me. At least not in this way.

"Come on Shinsou, here I thought you were the smart one out of the both of us. They live in an alley cause they're homeless, the kid too. They usually stay in a big group like that for warmth in winter. The temperature is dropping." And now I'm telling him how I visit my so called grandpa that is homeless plus there is a seven year old boy there as well. While I'm at it I should just tell him about Mr. Eto and Mr. Akagi because it seems like I just don't give a fuck anymore.

"Then what about you? Do you live with them too or do you live in a house and you're just using them to escape your problems? Are you getting hurt in any way? Is everything okay or are you just lying to me?" Okay getting a little specific there bud. Who comes up with this stuff? It's hella descriptive and too spot on. Are you and Todoroki conspiring with each other or something, or am I just being that obvious now?

"Calm down Shinsou, I'm okay." He's starting to panic. He could work himself up to an attack and that wont be good. 

"But-"

"No but's. No, I don't live with them. I live in the Saitama Prefecture with my dad and siblings. No I'm not getting hurt by them or anyone for that matter. Everything is okay. Trust me." Hell, I don't even trust myself at this point. 

"I'm sorry that I'm freaking out. It's just that I used to be live in a shitty place before I was adopted and I didn't want the same thing happening to you." I remember him mentioning it once or twice about how he was adopted and that's the reason why he's here today. I felt bad every time though since he didn't have parents at one point in his life while I'm over here complaining about my life. 

"You know if you ever want to talk about it, I'm here. I've been told many times I'm a good listener." I think he's actually taking me up on my offer because he finally takes the laptop off of his lap and places it on the floor after what seems to be him saving his essay before closing the device.

"I had nice parents? My mom was quirkless which made her an introvert. She didn't like going out unless we had to, but I was always okay with that. She was consistently happy. I loved her long black hair. It got me jealous because my hair would always stick up rather then staying flat." He chuckles for a moment before continuing. "I definitely got my looks from my dad. He had lavender hair that stuck up in every direction but down. He worked a lot though, but he always made time for us." Shinosu began to fiddle with his fingers. I don't know how I should make him more comfortable without interrupting his story. 

"Everything was fine. I loved my life, they loved me, and I loved them. Everything was just fine, but then my quirk came."

I have a feeling I know where this is going

"I didn't have the best control over my quirk especially since no one really wanted to help me figure it out. A lot of stuff happened that year though. It's as if I remember it all, but at the same time it feels like a fever dream. It all happened in the span of 5 months. I managed to get my dad to quit his job unwillingly, but I don't know if I actually did or if he lied to me. It didn't matter though since I knew my dad could find another job in no time, but if only things were that easy. My mom got sick and was staying in the hospital until she recovered. Getting my dad to quit was like cutting off her only help. We couldn't pay for her monthly bills." I can already tell what's going on through his mind. He's blaming himself for everything since that's what his dad conditioned him to think. I would've thought Aizawa or Mic got him a therapist, but recovery is a tedious process.

"It's not your fault Shinsou. You were just a kid who got his quirk and didn't understand a thing about it. No one could blame you for that." I know he wont listen to me, but hopefully if I keep telling him he'll get it through his thick skull.

"Yeah well I still had to take responsibility for it. My dad stopped taking care of me even to the point where he stopped paying for my school funds. It only got worse since he didn't even allow me to leave my room. He barely checked up on me, maybe once a week. Before I knew it he sold the house and left me in it. I didn't know he left so I stayed in my room for days until I realized he was gone. There were no warnings or signs that he would go. He just up and left." His breathing is way better than how it was in the beginning of his story though it's still not the best. My heart aches thinking that he had to stay in his room for days without communication, only to find out that his dad just left him alone. 

"I'm sorry that happened to you, I can't imagine what you went through." I go in to hug him and not so surprisingly he accepts it. What is surprising is the fact that he really loves hugs. I'm guessing since it reminds him of his mom. 

"I don't expect you to, but thank you. I'm doing a lot better now anyways. An underground hero adopted me after searching my house. Apparently my dad started selling these dangerous quirk suppressant drugs' he stole from his job and the hero took up a case on it. If it wasn't for him I'd still be sitting in the middle of my room, clueless." It sounds like Aizawa. It probably is. 

"Aizawa."

"Y-yeah. How'd you know?" Is it not that obvious?

"Shinsou no offense, but if anybody didn't think you guys were related in some way then they're the real dumb ones. You have a lot in common. You even use the same weapon as him. Admit it, you're just a smaller purple version of him."

"I never thought about it that way. Is that what everybody thinks?"

"Yeah, pretty much."

"Interesting. I'll keep that in mind. Though the point of all of this was to make sure you were okay. A lot of shitty things happened to me when I was younger and I don't want any of that happening to you especially if I knew somewhat about it."

"I'm perfectly fine I swear." All Might, if only you knew the truth.

"Since we're on the topic. I hope you don't mind if I ask, what's your family like?" Is he on to me or is he just curious?

"My family?"

"Yeah your family. I like hearing you talk, so ramble all you want." At this point does it matter if he's on to me or not? I just want him to keep talking to me like this.

"Oh. Well to start off I have five younger siblings." Hopefully this isn't a mistake, but if he happens to tell Mic or Aizawa I have to at least keep the kids constant in the stories.

"Five?!"

"Yeah." I let out a chuckle. "They're cute though so it's fine. They're all adopted too so we're not genetically related, but that doesn't mean they can't be my family!" I smile brightly. 

"Oh, does that mean-"

"No. He's my dad, my real dad." He's my dad. I don't have anyone else

"Oh, sorry about asking."

"It's fine! There's nothing I'm really uncomfortable talking about. Plus I'm the one who told you the kids are adopted so it'll make sense to wonder if I am too. They're really cute! The one and only girl is four, there's twins that are also four, the oldest is six, and the second oldest is five. Though sometimes I think they act a little older for their ages." Whether that's because they have trauma or not is still the question.

"They're younger than I thought. Did they all get their quirks yet?" Don't tell him what they are.

"Yup, all five too! They're nothing flashy, but they could surely become a pro hero with them."

"It looks like they'll have someone to look up to if they ever do what to become heroes."

"As if! They look up to the real pro heroes more than they do me. I'm just a glorified older brother to them." And I can barely do that. Big brothers actually take care of their siblings. What are you doing, Denki?

"I'm pretty sure they love you."

"Of course. They adore me. Time check?"

"3:45."

"We got plenty of time. Now tell me about your adventures as Aizawa and Mic's kid."

"I never said they were my dads!" Shinsou exclaims, but like I said before. It's obvious. Plus I've seen Mic give Shinsou a kiss on the his forehead right before school started one day. 

"But you never denied it either." I smile.

Good going Denki, you just told three people from the same family three entirely different stories. Let's see how this train wreck goes. 

How am I gonna fix this
