Distant (Character x Aizawa)

Chapter 6- Patrol

POV- 1st person

"Geez, how early does he get up everyday? I would've thought he would be the type of person to sleep in..."

I watched him walk into the kitchen and start looking around.

"Hey, if you don't mind me asking. Why did you wake up this early?"

"Well, I'm a pro hero. So on top of me being a teacher and waking up early as a habit, on my off days I have to patrol the city."

"Wow. So you never get a break?"

"Pretty much."

"So what does that mean for me?"

He gave me a side glance. But focused on what he was doing again.

"Either you're perceptive and you noticed that going outside can trigger a panic attack for you, or you're just curious. I'm going to assume the latter."

"But to give you your answer, I haven't decided."

"What do you mean?"

"It means I have a solution in mind, but I'm not sure if it's the smartest choice..."

I tilted my head in confusion.

Aizawa

I glared at nothing in particular. The question actually reminded me of a decision I hope to stray away from.

Since I'm going out on patrol for a few hours and didn't want her to come with me, I looked at Midnights, Tsukauchi, and Mic's schedules.

Midnight doesn't know about Kiyomi, so she was almost immediately ruled out. But she also has patrols and interviews so she's booked all day.

Tsukauchi is swamped with work until the evening so he didn't work either. So sadly I only have one more option.

Mic was the only person who had nightly patrols, so he would be free during the day regardless.

I silently dreaded the thought.

Mic is loud and for the most part, irresponsible. But he's met Kiyomi and knows her situation. So hopefully this time it's different. And he does have his moments where he's smarter than anyone else. Let's hope this is one of them.

Sadly though I still have to make the phone call...

"Kiyomi."

"Huh?"

"I need to make a phone call. Don't do anything stupid."

"Like I could..."

I took my phone from my pocket and walked into my room. After shutting the door I dialed Mic's number and waited for him to pick up as it rang.

"Heeyyy Shouta!" His voiced boomed on the other end.

I flinched and moved the phone away from my ear.
