Work Text:
"I'm boooored" I hear Hizashi groan from where he's laying upside down on the couch.
"Deal with it; I have homework to do," I grumble.
"We shall never have fun again," Tensei says dramatically, sprawling himself in my lap. I push him off, and he tumbles to the ground. "Rude! Hizashi's my new best friend because clearly, you don't like me!" He complains, making no moves to get up
"Drama queen."
"No, that's Hizashi."
"I thought I was your new best friend!!"
"Yeah, doesn't mean I won't tease you!"
"Shota! Tensei's bullying me!"
"I'm going to start bullying you if you don't let me do my homework!" They both grumble but leave me alone, Tensei wandering over to talk to Hizashi. Finally, I open my English folder, pull out my work, and start writing. It goes a lot faster than expected, and soon I'm done. I look up, not surprised to see the two crackheads I call my friends watching something on the phone; I'm not sure who's...
"Alright, losers, I'm done." Both their heads pop up, and they grin at me.
"My mom said we can have a sleepover!" Tensei says happily.
"Wanna join?" Hizashi asks. They look so hopeful I can't say no.
"Sure, fine," I grumble and silently wish for sunglasses to protect my eyes from their blinding smiles.
"We should go get snacks!"
"Don't you have snacks at home?"
"Yeah, but Tenya really likes Pringles, specifically sour cream and onion, and we ran out recently. Oh, and we've run out of lunch stuff for him recently, so I have to get that too."
"Why don't your parents do that?"
"I go by a store on the way home; it's just easier." He says, "But, I know we're going to end up doing something chaotic, so we're not going to that one; we're going to the other store. It'll be a little bit further, but we can deal with it, right?"
"Yes. Now, let's make a list and go."
"Aww, do we have to?" I glare at him
"Yes, we have to make a list because otherwise, we will buy random shit. And we both know that this guy will insist on paying." I say, pointing at Tensei.
"Hey!"
"So lets at least keep to a little bit of a budget, now let's pack up and go." I snap before grabbing my stuff and getting up, both of them scrambling up behind me. We grab our stuff and a bag for the groceries before Tensei looks at his phone.
"Oh, my dad has the grocery shopping; we just have to get the ice cream because the store he went to had a shit selection." he says, "Which means all we have to get is the ice cream!!"
"Yay!"
I rolled my eyes and set off, neither of them realizing I was gone until I was halfway down the hall and shouting for me to wait up. Spoiler alert: I didn't wait up. We got to the store surprisingly quickly, all things considered. When I grabbed a cart, I fully expected what would happen next. Hizashi jumped into the cart.
"Push me!"
"No," I grumble.
"Boring, hey, Tensei, push me!"
"Huh? Sure! Why not!" He says happily
"Do whatever you want; just don't get us banned."
"I'm sure that Tensei will go faster…."
"No shit, he's the one with the quirk that makes him fast," I say, walking away.
"Oh yeah, well, I bet I can go faster than you without using my quirk" I freeze.
"Is that a challenge?"
"Yes, it is, floaty hair. What are you going to do about it?" My eye twitches. I'm falling right into their trap. I know it; they know it. Am I going to be the bigger person and ignore them?
Not today.
"Fine, you push him while I cancel your quirk, then I push him. It needs to be timed," I say, grabbing my phone.
"Got it." He says, pushing the cart into the store. "Race to the freezer section?"
"Sure. Ready? Go!" I shout, activating my quirk and starting the timer on my phone as he starts running. I watch him go, half expecting someone to come over and see us. However, that didn't happen, and he made it rather quickly. Finally, he pushes the cart back.
"Alright, my turn," I say, grabbing the handle.
"Alright. It's actually way harder to control that thing than I thought, so you might want to be careful."
"Don't worry, I will," I say, preparing to go. "Are you ready to start the timer?"
"Sure. Ready? Go!" And with that, I take off, slowly building up speed. I know I'm faster than him; I know I'm going to beat him. I figure that when I'm almost there, I should stop. I start slowing down, but we aren't slowing fast enough. I panic and dig my heels into the ground, but I just slide and lose my balance. And we ran into the freezer with a loud crash. I was launched backward, and a lot of the ice cream toppled out of the freezer. I hear Tensei shouting, asking if we're ok.
"I'm fine," I say, getting up
"I'm good," Hizashi says
"Thank god! I told you it's hard to control!!"
"Yeah, well, I still won."
"What the hell is going on here?!" Shit, it was a worker
"We lost control of a cart."
"Well, he should not be in the cart!!"
"Yes, ma'am. We'll just get our stuff and get out." I say, grabbing our ice creams. I hear Tensei helping Hizashi out of the shopping cart, and we make our way to the register. Right after we pay, the cash register looks me dead in the eyes.
"We saw you racing on the cameras." I freeze
"You did?"
"Yeah. You're banned."
"Fair enough."
