Chapter 53
"Ow." I sighed as I barely had the energy, or air in my lungs, to yell it out loud. I lost count how many times I had been thrown to the ground by Ojiro.
"Are you alright?" He asked as he leaned over me.
"It's not fair." I whined, and he helped me up. Again. "You're an expert in martial arts, and I'm not."
"That's the whole reason we were paired together." Ojiro told me, and he walked with me over to the bench to get some water. "Mr. Aizawa wants us to challenge the things we're not good at."
"I also think he's still trying to punish me for the classroom incident." I sighed and sat down with a water bottle to my face.
"Probably." He laughed and sat with me. We sat in silence as we drank some water and watched the rest of the class working on what they lacked.
"Can I ask a question?" He asked, kind of suddenly. Like he had to ask before he changed his mind.
"Sure." I answered him.
"A girl question?" He specified.
"Then definitely." I asked and turned more towards him.
"How would you approach someone with a compliment, when you can't see the person?" He asked me, and his cheeks were a bit pink. Bit he was confident about his question, not wanting to shy away from it.
"So you like Hagakure." I asked, wanting to make sure we were talking about the same person. In case I couldn't see someone else that he was talking about.
"Yeah." He said and got a little embarrassed this time at hearing her name. "Is that weird?"
"Are you asking cause you can't see her?" I asked, and he hesitated before nodding with a little shrug. "Not at all. She's still a girl, just not one that you can see."
"That's why I don't know how to compliment her." He said.
"Well, there's other ways to compliment someone." I said, and he looked at me with a look, saying he knew that. "What do you like about her? Obviously, it's not her dashing good looks."
"I don't know." He said and shrugged. "Whenever I'm around her, I just have this sense of serenity. She makes me laugh with even her stupidist jokes. And she just has this energy about her."
"Wow." I said, and he looked at me. "You really, really like her."
"Yeah." Ojiro said and rubbed the back of his head. "I just don't know how to approach her about it. It's hard to read body language and facial expressions when you can't see anything except their clothes."
"Well, maybe just be straightforward." I suggested. If you can't read what kind of response you'd get from someone, sometimes just being straight up and saying exactly what you feel is the best option."
"Yeah, maybe." He said, and we watched as Hagakure and Aoyama were practice fighting. Well, Aoyama was swinging around trying to find Hagakure, and no one could see her outside of an occasional light refraction. "I don't know what I'd say though."
"Just tell her what you told me." I said. "That you really enjoy her energy, and want to spend more time with her outside of class."
"Yeah. It sounds great when you say it." Ojiro laughed. "I don't know much about romance."
"It's not as hard as everyone makes it out to be." I told him. "Just show you care. What do you know she likes?"
"I know she likes sweets, and plushies." He answered.
"Then maybe take her to a bakery and shopping." I suggested. "I know she enjoys shopping. You could buy her a cute plushy."
"Yeah, that sounds like a great date." He told me. "I think I'll go ask her now, before I get too nervous."
I looked to see that Aoyama was walking over to a bench closer to where they were fighting and watched a water bottle get picked up by Hagakure.
Ojiro left me at our bench and I watched him walk over to them, and say something before walking away with a floating water bottle.
"Shouldn't you be training?" I heard from behind me and looked to see Mr. Aizawa.
"I'm working." I told him and looked back to see that Ojiro was talking, and his face was pretty red.
"Working on what?" He asked and sat next to me to watch with me.
"Getting two more of your students together." I told him, as I watched the water bottle drop to the ground and then Ojiro was struggling to stay upright after being attacked in a hug by Hagakure. Ojiro smiled and I knew it went well.
"I have to admit, I'm not sure if I support this kind of behavior." Mr. Aizawa told me. "You're causing distractions among your class, if it keeps getting worse we may have to revert to detention."
"Oh come one Mr. Aizawa." I whined a little. "The classroom thing was a accident, and I haven't let it happen again. Cut me some slack." I huffed. "It's not my fault they're acting like horny teenagers."
"I'm not going to respond to that." Mr. Aizawa told me. And we sat there in silence watching everyone else.
I let my mind wander, think about so many possibilities. So many scenarios, scenes, acts. It made my stomach growl just thinking about it.
"Hey Mr. Aizawa? Can I ask you a question?" I asked.
"I already don't like where this is heading." He told me in a sigh.
"Yeah . . . you're about to hate this." I said honestly. "You don't have to answer, and I'm asking in the least apprehensive way possible. . . . Would you sleep with me?"
Mr. Aizawa hid his face in his scarf a bit, and I knew he was trying not to get flustered.
"And I'm not asking to." I wanted to clarify. "I don't believe in teacher/student relationships. But if I become a hero, and we were working together. Let's say we got caught in a trap situation, where the only way out would to be using my abilities to move objects that weren't movable otherwise or something of that nature. Would you sleep with me, in order to give me energy?"
He said nothing. I imagine to try and calm down any anger I just gave him. But also because of the nature of the question being extremely uncomfortable, I said nothing in hopes to not make it worse.
"You don't have to answer, I was just curious." I told him. "If anything, I'm saving the severity of awkwardness from future events. Cause if it was to happen we would already know the answer."
It was silent again, and this time I wasn't going to break it. He knew what I meant, even if I couldn't fully put it into words.
"Yes." He told me. "Only in a very small selection of specific scenarios."
"And if something happened while still in school, and I'm underage?" I asked hoping for a bit more clarity.
"I'm not answering that." He told me and I nodded.
"Understood." I told him. "I won't press it any further."
"I sure hope I don't hear anything like this among other teachers." He told me.
"I know that you would get in big trouble." I told him. "I wouldn't do that. And I promise not to hold it against you. Even if you change your mind later in the future. Can't teach about consent and then not follow that myself."
"You're teaching them?" He asked me.
"Someone's got to." I shrugged honestly. "And even if these are just flings, at least they'll walk away with knowledge and proper maturity for a real relationship."
"I don't know how I feel about that." Mr. Aizawa said as he stood up.
"They're in good hands." I told him.
"Any others that I should know about that are in your little group?" He asked. "Vlad told me about Bakugo and Ashido's fight in the cafeteria the other day. I figured you had something to do with it."
"They were fighting about who was next." I explained. "But I wasn't a part of it. We've also fixed the issue and are on a schedule now."
"Well, I suppose that's very mature of you." He said and I could hear the slight sarcasm and concern.
"Also, Sero may be entering the situation." I said finally answering the question. "We have a date tonight, but no guarantee that he'll stay."
"How many is that now?" He asked in a heavy sigh. He was probably keeping track for record purposes.
"Bakugo, Ashido, Kirishima, Kaminari, Shoto, and only dating right now with Sero." I told him the list.
"And you're being safe?" He asked very uncomfortably.
"I don't need condoms, and I don't carry diseases." I told him, and his face scrunched from being uncomfortable.
"Get back to training." He told me and walked away.
"Yes sir." I sighed and stood back up as Ojiro was coming back over in a great mood. "If you're in such a great mood, does that mean you'll take it easy on me?"
"Maybe a little." He said and then I was already on my ass from him swiping my legs out from under me with his tail.
"After I got you a date and everything." I whined.
