MHA/BNHA react to For The Want of A Nail by Clouds part 1

Inko Midoriya had insisted on having Eraserhead, Ms. Joke, Mr. Brave, and Sir Nighteye all over for dinner before the planned raid next week. Shouta didn't see the necessity of it, but she'd insisted she be able to spend time with the heroes who were responsible for bringing her son home alive and he hadn't been able to say no. It shouldn't be too painful, right?

Mitsuki: Oh you poor fool.

"Oh dear," Midoriya-san said with a mischievous glint in her eye, "I do believe I've forgotten a few key ingredients for the desert. Aizawa-san, Fukukado-san, would you mind running to the store and picking them up?"

(everyone stared before they realized and then started laughing)

Joke: Thanks, Mrs. Midoriya!

Inko(teasingly): Of course. Someone needs to play matchmaker.

Midoriya(still processing): ...Mom?!

Nevermind. Shouta caught Deku smirking out of the corner of his eye and turned to glare at him, to which Deku responded by pasting an innocent look on his face, an effect which was totally ruined by the way his mouth twitched at the corners. Traitor.

"Of course, Midoriya-san! We'd love to!" Fukukado said gleefully, "Come on Eraser, let's go shopping like an old married couple."

"The sooner we leave, the sooner we can get back." Shouta said sullenly.

Midnight(giggling): See, Shou? Everyone's so supportive of your love life.

Aizawa: I'm not in love with anyone!

"Have fun you two!" Nakamura was trying not to laugh, but was failing miserably. Even Sasaki was smiling. Shouta sighed; how was this his life?

Deku gave them a list and Shouta rolled his eyes as they left. Yep, the problem child was definitely in on it.

Midoriya(sinking in his seat): I am so sorry Aizawa-sensei...

"So Eraser," Fukukado grabbed his arm as she walked, "Are you excited for your new class this year?"

Shouta hoped nobody mistook them for a couple, though he didn't think anyone would, if only because of their different fashion sense. He was wearing a black shirt and bright pink sweatpants while she was wearing a white and blue striped romper with flowing sleeves. He thought it looked rather good on her, but he wasn't going to say that out loud. Honestly, Shouta didn't know how she thought this relationship would work when they were obviously so different. A relationship with her would take him so far out of his comfort zone it wouldn't even be funny.

Mina: ...Anyone going to bring up Aizawa-sensei's fashion sense?

Ojiro: Anyone feeling suicidal?

"I don't know." He stepped around a puddle. "Most of them have powerful quirks, but you know that's no guarantee of success in the hero industry."

She nodded, "Yeah, I've had a lot of students over the years who think being a hero will be easy just because they can shoot fire or bend metal with their minds. If that was all it took to succeed as a hero, the licensing exam would have a much higher pass rate." She sighed. "I may not be as trigger happy with expulsions as you are, Eraser, but I do try to get in through my students' heads that heroism isn't just sunshine and rainbows like they've been taught to believe."

Hawks: Yeah, this profession is full of a lot of dark and gritty stuff that kids don't really think about.

Kamui: But we've got to do it.

Vlad: To help people.

"That's why I always threaten expulsion on the first day." Shouta said. "Even when I don't end up expelling anyone, that threat stays with them. Whenever they're tempted to think they already know what the hero industry is, they'll remember that the first day of hero school was nothing like they expected."
