The rational man looked along the paved street of his home town, it was basic of any suburbia, some may say it was even quiet, but for Shouta Aizawa is always seemed too loud.
People talking, animals parking children running down the streets even as a boy few things excited him. His parents even wondered if he carried a depression disorder, he was just from birth, a rational person.
He didn't not play with kids but was selective preferring mind opening games, deep roleplays rather than chasey for 5 hours.

Eraser-head shrugs softly, actions as such in his childhood he never regretted when the memories came back. It built to the person he was today.
His younger self at this moment would often go find any neighborhood cat, hoping to give the gracious creature attention.
He smiles finding young Shouta holding a cat toy, a plastic rode with a fluff, Shouta dangled the rod clicking under his breathe holding Tuna, his thick school bag resting down on his weight.
A young kitten curled in a corner terrified of the 8year old.
"Careful, she'll attack you if you get to close.' He tells the boy in a monotoned voice.
The ratted hair boy jumped looking at the adult, any kid at this point would snap back to him, Shouta blinks,
"Sorry sir." He whispers putting the toy away quickly, inside he carried cat food and other toys. A small smile took Aizawa's lips, all he did ever want to do was please cats.

Eraserhead guessed it must be common for people to lie awake and wonder what they would say if they met their younger selves. Maybe even eaten themselves alive with regret. He gazed at the boy fixing up his bag and adjusting it to his back. He found himself a smile taking his lips, there was nothing Aizawa would change or tell him.
No logical reason to warn him of the dangers foretold of his 1a class, it was the trauma that made who he was. The mistakes and the slip ups that built him to think so carefully.
He shrugs and waves his hand away to the boy.
"Cats prefer to form a bond and don't like sudden movements, running at them quickly will only make them more prone to attacking. Buy the more expensive dry food, the cheap stuff makes them hate it really fast and they go on hunger strikes fast till you get something else." He explains to him softly and continues his trek.
