Chapter 14: Bro
Shouto came out of the bathroom, fully clothed and back on two feet. I kept my eyes in my lap as I couldn't bring myself to look at him. My cheeks felt like they were on fire yet Shouto seemed completely unfazed. "Thank you for taking care of me. " He said calmly with a small bow. I waved my hand a little to dismiss it. "I-Its fine... I really didn't mind..."
"I don't see why you are so embarrassed, surely this isn't the first time you have seen a-" Bakugou was cut off by Izuku "Kaachan!" I stood up and cleared my throat a bit. "I hate to rush you guys off but I really can't keep the clinic closed for too long..."
With that, we headed back down stairs where Hachi waited impatiently for Izuku's return. Said dog perked up at our foot steps. 'Your back! Again!' he barked gleefully as he trotted up to Izuku looking for some much wanted attention. "Thank you, (F/n) for taking care of Hachi. You too Shouto." Izuku bowed to the both of us. I smiled as Hachi laid down at his feet and looked up at us saying his own thank you.
I smiled at the sentiment. "Now... How much do I owe you?" He reached for his wallet and I waved him on.
"Don't worry about it. He has been a joy to have around and I am just glad to see him better than when he came in." He looked unsure but tucked his wallet back into his pocket.
"How sweet. Anyways, I am going home. Thanks for the food." Bakugo butted in sarcastically as he brushed by, heading for the door. "I should get going too. I should get Hachi home and I have some things to finish up at the agency." Izuku said as he fastened a leash to Hachi's collar. "I should be going as well. I have some things to catch up on as well." Shouto spoke up as well.
With that, the clinic was empty again as I watched them walk out of the clinic. I sighed and sat behind the desk, booting up my computer, and getting back to work.
A few hours had passed before any traffic had made it's way in. The bell over the door drew my attention from the shelf I was dusting. "Hi, what can I do for you today?" I wiped my hands off and made my way back behind the front desk. My eyes wandered to the cat perched on his shoulder to his bright red eyes and equally red hair.
"Oh, well Bro here hasn't been eating and I heard you are the one who took care of Hachi." He smiled at me. "You know Hachi? Izuku's Hachi?" I questioned.
"I guess you might not recognize me out of costume. I'm Red Riot. You know, the pro hero." I laughed lightly hoping to encourage him to elaborate more. His face fell a little as he sighed. "I'm Kirishima Eijiro. I went to school with Izuku. Shouto as well... You guys are close, right?" He questioned. I shrugged a little as I picked the cat off his shoulder. "Oh! I remember! I answered your call when you were trying to get a hold of Shouto. It's nice to meet you." I smiled, finally pinning a face to the name. "Can I get you to follow me to the exam room?"
"So how do you know what's wrong with him?" Kirishima asked as he watched me do the basic check up. "I can read his mind, but my degree also helps. Anyways, Bro here is fine. He just doesn't like his food and doesn't appreciate you switching it all of the sudden." I smiled at I scratched under the cats chin. "So he felt a hunger strike was necessary? Geez. I thought something was actually wrong..." His shoulders dropped in relief. "Cats are known for being picky so it can be pretty common for these things to happen. If he keeps it up bring him back, alright?"
"Sure thing, Doc... You know, I just thought of something. How about you pop into the little party we are having for Izuku and Katsuki? It's to celebrate them completing that big mission. It will give you a chance to make some new friends, what do you say?" He grinned as Bro jumped back up on his shoulder.
