Proving Actions

Sitting on the balcony, Aiden revolved his astral energy throughout his body and focused on having it wrap around his tightened muscles like a rubber band. While doing this, he had his phone laying next to him on speaker.

"So you're going back today as well?" He asked Shoto.

"Yeah, dad's pretty pissed about getting the credit for the HeroKiller incident."

"Why? Doesn't he love the publicity?"

"I think he only likes it if he achieved it himself. Getting the credit for someone else's work makes him feel like he's inadequate as a hero." Shoto explained.

'Hmm~ So even fakes have their own pride.'

"Have you seen the news?" Shoto suddenly asked.

"Yeah. The internet's going wild over Stain's capture." He said looking at the newspaper on a nearby chair.

"Someone anonymously posted a video of Stain's last moments before he passed out... His speech apparently resonated with a lot of people and they're demanding his release. Some even praise his actions and agree with his ideology."

"..."

Aiden didn't know what to say to this. He and Stain ultimately shared the same ideology, he might have even partnered up with him if not for the fact that he teamed up with villains and planned to hunt Rumi. Sighing at that fact, he released his control on his energy and raised his head to look at the sky.

"A storms coming..."

Sitting in a dark bar, Shigaraki held a newspaper in his hands and shook with anger.

"DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT!!" He yelled and threw the newspaper on the ground. "He's all over the news and the Nomu are always mentioned second!"

Kurogiri stood behind the bar cleaning the glasses and watched him throw his tantrum in silence.

"God dammit! They're treating us like second fiddle!"

After the Stain incident ended, Rumi kept a close eye on Aiden and didn't leave his side for a minute. She even forced her way inside the bathroom and made sure there were no boundaries between the two.

According to her, she couldn't trust that he wouldn't do anything reckless so she would do her duty as his guardian and monitor him. While she respected him as an individual and was proud of him for defeating the HeroKiller in one on one combat, she ultimately couldn't put her feelings aside and felt worried for his safety.

"So how'd that thing with your mom go?"

"She's... doing better." Shoto answered vaguely.

From the tone in his voice, Aiden knew that this was a sensitive subject for him.

"That's good... Family should never be taken for granted."

Hearing a deeper meaning in his voice, Shoto wanted to voice his opinion but held back. Out of everyone in the class, only Aiden's past was unknown. Besides the fact that he lived next to Mina, the rest of the students knew nothing about him.

"Have you told Ashido-san about what happened?" He asked.

"Nah, if she ever found out I wouldn't be able to rest in peace."

"What about your work experience mentor? How'd they react to the news?"

Thinking back on Rumi's scolding, Aiden smiled somewhat. "They were proud that I did the right thing."

"That's good."

Ending the call with Shoto, Aiden went and packed his bag before meeting Rumi in the hallway.

"All packed?"

Nodding his head, the two made their way to the lobby to checkout.

"We hope you enjoyed your stay Miss Usagiyama."

Ignoring the lady at the front desk, Rumi grabbed Aiden's hand and dragged him out of the building. Heading towards the train station the two walked in silence not knowing what to say.

For Rumi, just the thought that Aiden could have died left an aching feeling in her heart. Before his arrival she never thought that she could ever feel this way. But now that he was in her life she couldn't imagine it without him.

Aiden on the other hand was quiet for a different reason. Unlike Rumi he knew his abilities the best and thought that he handled the situation appropriately. Originally he planned to kill Iida and secretly team up with Stain, unfortunately there were some complications. The reason he was quiet was because he was currently using his marionette ability to tighten his muscles while trying to create something new.

After his fight with the herokiller, he realized that the reason he was forced to resort to using marionette was due to him being injured. Albeit it was a small cut on his face, but just the fact that he was injured was unforgivable. Therefore he was trying to come up with a way to use his astral energy to protect his body from damage while also being able to utilize his other abilities.

While the two were deep in thought, they didn't even realize that they had already paid for their tickets and had boarded a train back home.

Later that night Aiden lay in his bed recreating his fight with Stain over and over again. The fight ultimately wasn't that hard as he exerted very little effort and could have ultimately killed Stain if he wished. If he was being honest, he was a little disappointed in Stain's abilities. But it also gave him a degree of confidence. If someone like Stain had killed multiple named heroes with no one being able to stop him, that meant that either the heroes were incredibly weak or that Stain was unbelievably skillful. But either way it didn't matter as he had already bested Stain, the person who defeated multiple heroes.

With that thought in mind, a sly smile emerged on his face.

While this was going on, Rumi suddenly kicked down his door and shamelessly charged into his room dressed in nothing but a white bra and panties.

"What the fuck Aiden!" She said aggressively.

"Huh?" His eyes snapped open in confusion.

"First you ignore my orders to stay in the hotel, then you go fight the herokiller and now you spend a full day without talking to me!! Motherfu*ker are you out of your damn mind!!"

Before he could get a word in, Rumi forced herself on top of his bed and pushed him onto his back.

"Since you don't like listen to my words I'll show you what I mean with my actions!" Unhooking her bra, Rumi pulled down Aiden's shorts.

"Rumi wai-

"SHUT UP!! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW SCARED I WAS WHEN THE POLICE CALLED AND TOLD ME YOU CONFRONTED THE HEROKILLER!!" Her voice started to crack slightly as tears formed in the corner of her eyes. Just as Aiden was gonna say something, her voice suddenly turned harsh.

"Back in the hotel I told you how much you mean to me right... Since you obviously don't understand words I'll prove how much you mean to me through my actions!"

Seeing her remove her panties, Aiden understood where she was going.

"Wait this is illeg-

His words were quickly cut short as a warm feeling suddenly engulfed his lower body. Lowering her hips downs, Rumi forced his member to pierce into her secret garden.

"Mmm...." She hummed as she tightly gripped the foreign object inside of her. "Now this... is the proper way to use pierce."
