Third Person POV:
Aizawa didn't want to pressure Todoroki. The whole thing must be a great ordeal, greater than he could ever imagine, and forcing the boy to tell him more about it wouldn't be a smart thing to do.
Thus, they were currently playing a round of 'SCRABBLE: Pocket Edition'*. The current word was 'hoop', and the raven was struggling to find a new one.
"Aizawa-sensei, how about you make it 'hook'? You've got a K after all", Shoto offered, gesturing to one of the cards his teacher had left over.
Realisation dawned on the Erasure Hero as he understood what the dual-quirk-wielder meant and mentally face-palmed at how he had been trying to search for a solution for nearly three minutes.
Smiling slightly, as he took said card to lay it onto the P, he let out a breathy "Thank you".
Next, it was Shoto's turn. Analysing the cards he had laid out in front of him, he took a few moments to ponder which letter he could use next.
His multi-coloured eyes landed on the C and he seized the opportunity to make the word 'cook'.
A groan escaped his teacher's lips as said male let his head fall back against the wood of the chair. (OKAY PEOPLE- THIS IS NOT MEANT IN A SEXUAL MANNER OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT. HE IS SIMPLY FRUSTRATED; DO NOT TAKE THIS WRONG :D)
---------------------------------------------------------
In the end, Aizawa ended up loosing four out of five rounds, while Shoto only lost one. The older male had no issue with letting the younger win, albeit with a tad bit of embarrassment on his behalf.
Over the course of the day, the humanised caterpillar had received two panicked calls from Hizashi, one from All Might and one from Iida, who had been asking about his whereabouts.
Shoto on the other hand, had turned his own phone off - as instructed by Aizawa -, in case his father (not for long tho- 👀) would try to contact him in any way. Each time his phone rang, Shoto would send him a panicked look, the question mingling obviously in the air.
'Is it him?'
Aizawa wouldn't have been all too surprised if the Flame Hero tried calling his own phone, which is exactly what happened.
Again, Shoto's worried-looking eyes met his own dark ones as he picked the vibrating device to check the caller ID.
Shoto watched as the other male's body stiffened slightly and he realised what that meant. Eyes flicking up to meet the heterochromatic boy's eyes, the raven nodded, only confirming Shoto's thought.
Taking a deep breath, Aizawa accepted the call.
"Hello?"
"Eraser."
"What are you calling me for, Endeavor?", he wasn't sure if he had sounded too harsh, but if he did, Endeavor would perhaps make the connection and begin growing suspicious, which was to be avoided.
"Do you know anything about the whereabouts of my son?", the other pro hero's gruff voice said from the other end of the line.
"Have you lost him again, or what?"
A scoff was heard.
"Eraser. Shoto is not answering any of my calls, nor any texts. I am also aware that he is not visiting his siblings or mother. He also is not at any 'friend's' place, and school has already ended. I am asking you again, where is my son?!"
---------------------------------------------------------
A sneer had made its way onto Endeavor's face as he made his way to the apartment owned by a couple, both of which were pro heroes - EraserHead and Present Mic. (edit: i reread this sentence a few minutes after writing it- wtf was i doing? was my head in the clouds or summat? 🤠)
If that damned teacher would not willingly give him any information, he was going to have to do it differently.
One thing he knew for sure though,
Eraser knew something he wasn't supposed to, that brat of a son had something to do with it and he would have to use force to get any information out of them.
---------------------------------------------------------
The elevator dinged, signaling that it had arrived on the floor Endeavor wanted to get to.
Glancing at the little note in his hand with the address written on it, Endeavor located the room and stomped over to the door.
Fists clenched, he knocked on the door.
once, twice, thrice.
---------------------------------------------------------
Three short raps at the door were enough to startle the two males on the other side of it.
They weren't expecting any visitors, and Hizashi had a dentist appointment, thus, Aizawa had his guard up as he carefully walked over to the door.
Thing is, their door didn't have a peephole.
Cautiously opening the door a crack, he did not expect a hand to immediately clasp on to it in an attempt to force it open.
*'SCRABBLE: Pocket Edition' is a game in which you at the beginning of the round choose one word -and therefore also the amount of letters which you aren't allowed to change-, deal out the rest of the cards (which have letters on both sides) and always take it in turns to place one card - or in other words a letter - on top of another to form a new word.
example: the word is 'M E A T' and you have a card with the letter H on it
you can place your H onto the M to change it to 'H E A T'
then, the player who has gotten rid of all their cards first, wins - at least that's the idea... you can also just kind of team up and help each other like Shoto and Aizawa did
the scene was mainly based off of me and my uncle playing the game a lot together whenever we see each other (which we haven't really for over a year because of the pandemic and him until still fairly recently having lived in singapore while i live in germany- kinda not too easy at the moment lol-)
(I hope the explanation makes sense- if not, try searching up the game)
