Day 29: Lingerie

‘What happens when you die?’

Shinsou has asked Aizawa many, many questions- stupid ones, dumb ones, funny ones, and the exceptionally rare serious ones. He thought he was done being surprised by him but it turns out the purple haired kid still manages to throw him off at the weirdest times. It’s a lazy Sunday afternoon and they’re sitting in the teachers’ lounge with sheets of hero costume designs sprawled between them.

Aizawa leans back in his chair and steeples his fingers. It’s hard to answer a question as all-encompassing, as vague, as helpless as the concept of the afterlife. But when Shinsou comes to him with these kinda questions, he wants to do his best to be honest, and to take him seriously.

Aizawa takes a deep breath and starts, ‘Well, obviously your body stops functioning. You don’t have a heartbeat, and your brain no longer sends any signals to the rest of your organs, and you no longer have a conscience. As for what happens after that, to your soul, if you will, is up to every person. The idea of the afterlife or rebirth is-‘

‘No, I mean, what happens when you die?’ Shinsou points at Aizawa. ‘Do I get the cats? Cause I really want the cats. Desperately. I love them too much.’

Aizawa stares at the boy blankly for a whole minute before standing up, inhaling deeply, and just walking away.

He does not stop walking even when Shinsou calls out Don’t goooooo. He doesn’t stop when Hizashi shoots him a confused/concerned look. He doesn’t stop at the UA gates; he just keeps walking.

Kids are just impossible and Aizawa did not sign up for this.

[LOOK AT HIM.

HE’S SO PROUD OF HIS DAUGHTER.
