Typically, when Dazai dreams it ends to be more nightmare-ish in nature. Well, nightmare-ish to other people's standards but rather normal to him. Replays of fights, torture sessions, suicide attempts, the list goes on.
Dreaming about a dog laying on him and slobbering is new and clearly far worse than anything else and annoyingly, it does not go away once he wakes up. Instead, he finds a certain ginger dog sprawled across him in an impressive show of flexibility with his mouth wide open and drooling. Really, what a charming image to wake up to.
Huffing, Dazai eyes the offending spit. In all the time he's known Chuuya this bad little habit has never been broken, something that annoys Dazai as much as it does the ever-elegant Kouyou. Someone else may feel honoured to have Chuuya lower his guard like this, he only droops when he sleeps deeply after all, but Dazai would personally prefer not to be a spit rag.
That being said, being a spit rag outweighs the cons of a sleep-deprived Chuuya. While it is beyond amusing to see the slug zone out and be complacent with all the teasing he would usually get mad at it's just more trouble in the long run. The only kid in 1A Dazai could genuinely see trying something would be Bakugou, he is the only one who would give in to the temptations of violence. While Todoroki was clearly pissed at his comments the other day, and still most definitely is, he's far too stoic and righteous to act out like that. In supervised fights, he'll go all out, but during class time and downtime, he won't try anything. Chuuya doesn't see that though, or more likely sees it but doesn't trust it. So, despite clearly being tired he still put himself on guard just like a dog.
If Dazai hadn't snuck into Chuuya's room last night then the slug would have stayed up again and run himself into the ground and that really won't do. It's the duty of an owner to care for his dog's health, so having that happen would just be negligent on Dazai's part.
So yes, now Dazai is trapped under what may as well be a rock with no chance of escape. Of course, he could wake Chuuya up, he should have gotten enough sleep by now anyway. He would do that, but Chuuya is grumpy when he gets woken up so for now he'll leave it. If the slug takes too long to wake up though then he'll have to suffer grumpy Chuuya for the sake of his freedom.
Absent-mindedly, Dazai thinks over the key players of 1A. First, there are the powerhouses, the ones that give inspiration to the class due to being 'strong' and 'brave'. In a fight these kids set the tone, they encourage the others to continue fighting and improve their skills.
There are also the social leaders, ones that can influence the class with their words or feelings alone. It's clear the class has already split into cliques and usually whoever the unspoken leader of a clique is tends to be a social leader. 1A is a little special in that regard however, two of the social leaders are in the same clique.
In Dazai's opinion, the social leaders are Midoriya, Uraraka, and Yaoyorozu. The first two are social butterflies, they seem to get on with almost everyone, which explains their influence over everyone. From what he's seen so far Yaoyorozu seems a tad more reserved, still friendly but not that extroverted. Her influence comes from 1A's respect for her, she's smart and responsible, the type of person you can always turn to for help. Some may say Bakugou is a social leader, which would make sense. He is very much at the centre of his little group, seems to be aware of that fact too, and has tremendous influence over the class. He seemed like the perfect fit and at first, Dazai had lumped him in with the other three but as he observed the class he noticed something interesting. Whenever Bakugou states his opinion on something he tends to be ignored, well, maybe not ignored but his words don't seem to be taken with the same weight as the other members of the class. He has influence sure, but more as a powerhouse than a social leader.
Other than Bakugou there are two other powerhouses, Midoriya and Todoroki. It was incredibly easy to figure that much out since only those three chose to fight him when he was perceived as the bigger threat. What's really interesting is that Midoriya falls into both categories, being in both makes him seem like the centre of the class, almost like a protagonist would be.
Chuuya shifts and moves his face, which effectively smudges drool across Dazai's chest. Really, what a gross slug.
Dazai remembers what Chuuya had said yesterday about Bakugou, he wanted to know why Dazai kept bugging the kid. In truth, he didn't have some grand plan that hinged on Bakugou. If he had such a plan it would be centred on the main member of 1A, Midoriya. Currently, he's only being rough with him to get some good reactions.
Although, perhaps putting a plan together wouldn't be the worst idea. The main objective is to take down the LoV, right now Dazai is just killing time waiting for them to attack the class again. Originally, he was planning to stay distant from the class simply out of ease but now a new idea has come to him. If he and Chuuya manage to get close to the class then what chaos would he be able to cause? He could easily get the class to question hero society and their dreams of becoming one, when he and Chuuya ditch them after the mission is complete they'll likely be majorly affected by that. By gaining their trust he can mess with them even better.
Of course, to do that he needs more influence over the class. Right now he could spill his whole life story and get some pity sure, but he would still be kept at arm's length, maybe over time he could wear them down using pity but that will just take far too long. There is a faster way to do this and that way is to get on the social leaders' good sides. If they like him a majority of the class will too.
And- ah, things are just too perfect. Yaoyorozu must feel indebted to Chuuya from yesterday, she probably already sees him in a more favourable light. Uraraka had seemed impressed during the fight she had with Chuuya, Upon the Tainted Sorrow is quite similar to her Quirk after all so it makes sense. If Chuuya were to offer to train her then naturally she would warm up to him over time. They'll both still be hung up on the whole killing a pro thing no doubt, so first they need to be softened up a little with a few sad stories.
Dazai huffs with slight laughter and looks down to the slug still snoozing away, having Chuuya as his partner really makes things so much easier. Sometimes he can't help but think how perfect Chuuya is, somehow he's always where Dazai needs him to be and is capable of everything he wants. Then again, the giant glob of drool currently falling from his lips certainly is a problem, so not perfect in the end.
Getting Midoriya will be easy too, Dazai had noticed he always seemed to perk up when Abilities or Yokohama, in general, was mentioned. He assumed the kid had some deep interest in the topic, the deal yesterday proved that. All he needs to do is butter the kid up with sad stories and then tell him all about Abilities and Yokohama. As long as Dazai keeps on his best behavior then things should run smoothly.
Bakugou and Todoroki will cause a problem though given how Dazai has already been 'cruel' (1A's standards) to them. The rest of the class will likely continue to dislike Dazai until those two get over it and, just his luck, neither of them seems like the type to forgive and forget….hmm, how troublesome.
A snore brings his attention back down to Chuuya who is still lying across his chest. A smile blooms across Dazai's face, why didn't he think of this sooner?
With a smirk, he pokes one of Chuuya's cheeks, "You're going to play clean up for me Slug~ Aren't you excited?"
Predictably, there is no response other than light snoring. Dazai will take that as a yes. If Chuuya could befriend both Todoroki and Bakugou then that would be ideal, he could change their opinions on Dazai which would help the rest of the class forget about the whole 'it's not your power' thing. Todoroki seems to be the easier job, he typically hangs out with Midoriya's group so influencing him will be a lot quicker. Bakugou on the other hand will take a little more effort and time, that temper of his only seems to flare up Chuuya's temper. They need a common ground, something that can bring them together due to a shared opinion or experience…. Ah, well, the opinion of hating Dazai will surely do, right?
"Hey Chuuya," he whispers, "Say something now if you have any objections against my plan." In response Chuuya mumbles something, unfortunately for him, his mouth is too smushed against Dazai's chest to actually make audible words. It is amusing to think even unconscious Chuuya wants to disagree with him, it's a shame though (for him) that his half-said objection does not count and the plan will go ahead anyway.
The hurried opening of a door breaks his concentration and, a few moments later, causes him to smirk again. That door must be Aizawa leaving his room. Well, Dazai had been wondering how long it would take for the man to realise he never actually went into his room last night. On their first day at UA Aizawa had said there were sensors on the doors so in all honesty he had expected the man to appear last night, for whatever reason though he didn't and now seems to be panicking about it.
Another door is nearly slammed open, that must be the door to Dazai's room. Dazai glances down at Chuuya with a knowing smile, "It's time for your wake-up call~"
As if on cue the door to Chuuya's room is shoved open and Aizawa stumbles in. Three things happen in the next few moments, first of all, Aizawa's face changes from panic to relief to confusion to shock. Second, Dazai moves his arms from where they were resting on Chuuya and, thirdly, Chuuya springs up and immediately jumps off the bed to start a fight.
It only takes a second for the tension in Chuuya's posture to disappear as he realises that Aizawa is not a threat. "What the hell?" He asks slightly confused, for just waking up his voice sounds quite awake already. Ah, what a shame, sleepy Chuuya is always so fun~
Aizawa sighs and takes a step back, "I should be asking you that." He turns to Dazai, "I suppose this is where you've been all night?"
"Yep! Can't leave my dog unattended for too long~"
Predictably, Chuuya takes offence to this. He flops back to the bed, back onto Dazai, while muttering, "I'm not your damn dog." He closes his eyes and it almost looks like he's trying to go back to sleep, Dazai knows that isn't the case though as Aizawa is still in the room.
Deciding to play along, Dazai aims a shove at Chuuya's shoulder, "Nope, you are not going back to sleep! I want freedom from being your pillow."
Chuuya groans and seems ready to make some sort of objection when Aizawa interrupts, "This," he waves his hands at the two of them, "is not appropriate."
Dazai gasps in fake shock, "Aizawa-sensei! I- I just don't believe it! I didn't think you were such a man…." He trails off with a look of heartbreak on his face, if he were anyone else he would be smirking by now. Fortunately, he is himself- which, wow, he has never said that before.
Aizawa looks confused, which is even better. Mustering up his best betrayed face he sniffles almost like he's about to cry, "I thought better of you, but no! Here you are being homophobic… so cruel…"
Chuuya rolls his eyes just as Aizawa's widen in shock. For a second he seems genuinely alarmed, like he had actually said something wrong. It seems to only take him a few seconds to review what he said and come to the conclusion that Dazai is being troublesome on purpose, which of course is true. His face goes from worry to exasperated quickly, "You know that isn't what I meant."
Dazai debates the options of sticking his tongue out or just shrugging. He does both in the end.
Aizawa sighs and brings a hand up to his face. It looks like he wants to say something but is hesitant, almost like it's going to be too awkward or weird- Ha, wait, he's not going to say that is he? Will he actually? Really?
Aizawa's face still has a tinge of that awkwardness but he steals his nerves and oh boy this is going to be good. "Look," he starts, "If the two of you want to… do things together then that's one thing, b-"
Chuuya must still be sleepy as it takes an unusual amount of time for him to react. When he does his eyes widen and a blush rises on his cheeks, how cute~
"A-as if!" Chuuya exclaims while jumping off Dazai, his face turns sour, "Who would ever want to do things with this slimy fish?!"
"Ehhh, Chuuya! You don't love me?" Dazai asks with pleading eyes.
Chuuya takes one look at him and gags, if it's fake or real Dazai can't tell. He can't find it in himself to take offence though, maybe because the drying drool on his chest is damming evidence that he isn't that disgusting to be around.
A cough brings his attention back to Aizawa who is still standing in the doorway, "As long as whatever you do is safe-" Chuuya sounds actually distraught at that, which is so funny, "- then I don't care. What I do care about is you not being where you should be." He shoots a disproving look at Dazai, "If this is to happen again then tell me in advance where you'll be, alright?"
Dazai nods while Chuuya still has the look of a sour lemon on his face.
Aizawa turns like he is about to leave but pauses, he glances over his shoulder, "Behave until Monday and I'll get the clothes you arrived in ready for the next practical heroics class." Just like that, he disappears from the room just as quickly as he had appeared. Chuuya looks quite pleased by the chance of getting his Mafia clothes back, which Dazai can actually relate to. Even though he has never really put stock into fashion and whatnot, he can clearly see that UA's uniforms are just terrible.
Chuuya turns and for a second it looks like he is going to collapse onto the bed again, he must think better of it however as he scowls and stays standing. Dazai resists the urge to laugh, did what Aizawa say really leave such an impression on him? Either way, he'll be taking this chance to escape the Slug's bed and set his plans in motion.
In one fluid motion, he stands from the bed and begins to make his way to the door only to be stopped by Chuuya grabbing his arm, "Your bandages are all messed up." Raising a hand to his face reveals that yes, the bandages over his eye are looser than normal. They aren't showing anything yet, but with enough movement, they would probably just slip right off his face.
"Seems they are," Dazai agrees as he begins to fix them. Chuuya lets go of his arm and he can't help but think that maybe he should be more worried over the fact he didn't notice them so loose, it's fine in the end though since Chuuya noticed. His partner wouldn't let him walk out there with half-on bandages, so it's fine. Although, since the Chibi did warn him then maybe he should return the favour and inform him about the plan he cooked up earlier. Fortunately for the Slug back on their first night here Dazai went ahead and checked Chuuya's room for any microphones when he had a moment alone in his room, which means that he could safely inform him of the plan. Part of Dazai wishes there were microphones just so he would have an excuse to leave Chuuya out of the loop. "Oh by the way, we're going to be besties with 1A so play nice~" he states simply.
Chuuya scoffs, "Me? You're the one causing all the trouble, also when the hell did you decide to be 'besties' with them?"
"While you were drooling all over me," Dazai thinks for a second and decides to say something more, "One of us has to be thinking strategically and not snoozing away."
Chuuya grumbles in annoyance at that as he starts digging around his room for some clothes to change into. Thankfully, UA had provided them with some more casual wear, while the clothes they picked certainly don't match Dazai or Chuuya's style it's better than sitting in the school uniform all day. Once Aizawa gives him his Mafia clothes back Dazai has all intentions of wearing that whenever he can get away with it, Chuuya will likely do the same. As Chuuya pulls out something to wear Dazai realises that he too needs something to change into, "Chibi, give me some clothes."
Chuuya scoffs but still turns back to his clothes to find something for Dazai. It almost sounds like he says 'lazy bastard' under his breath but before Dazai can call him out on it he speaks again, "What do I have to do?"
Obviously, Chuuya knows how to find clothes for someone so what he really wants to know is what role he will be playing in Dazai's plan. "Just keep being the chivalrous gentleman that you are~" That is a lie as Chuuya is a tiny brute, but whatever. Dazai leans up against Chuuya's desk as he continues, "I'm sure you'll be the best of friends with Uraraka and Yaomomo without much effort, maybe you'll even bond with Bakugou due to that fiery temper of yours."
Dazai grins as Chuuya glares at him, maybe he's annoyed that Dazai likened him to Bakugou or because he reminded him of his slip-up yesterday with Yaomomo. Either way, he still throws Dazai a clean set of clothes, so clearly it's all for show. It seems this dog is all bark no bite~
-
Given that it's the weekend, it's not a surprise that a gaggle of students are hanging out in the common area. Typically, on a school day, most of the class wakes up about twenty minutes before the first lesson and completely bypasses the 'chill in the common area' part of the morning. That's what Chuuya has observed so far anyway. Even before Chuuya has taken a step out of his room he can hear the sound of the TV drifting down the hallway, jeez, how loud do they want it?
'Two Pro Hero sidekicks were found stabbed to death in the early hours of the morning, could this be a retaliation by the Port Mafia? Tune in at noon to hear what our experts have to say."
Chuuya can't help but roll his eyes at that. Even if the pros had actually managed to beat both him and Dazai and force them into UA Mori-san would have just left them to it. It had happened once before, back when he and Dazai had just started working together and Chuuya was apprehensive to trust his crazy plans. Things went sideways and the two of them ended up captured for about a week. Dazai most definitely had a plan to escape but the stubborn bastard refused to say anything to help them escape, he was so salty about Chuuya going against his initial plan and, to be fully honest, probably still is. Anyway, Mori-san had sent some people a week later because he had a new mission for the two of them and, in his words, 'couldn't let you dawdle any longer.' If the man had confidence in their skills to keep themselves alive or he just rejoiced in having them out of his hair for a while Chuuya isn't sure.
God, the Chuuya back then would be sick hearing that nowadays he just goes along with Dazai's plans, most of the time without even knowing what said plans entail.
Dazai grins at him and quiets his footsteps in foreshadowing of the trouble he's about to cause. Which, hey, wasn't that idiot just on about playing nice with 1A?
For some reason, most of the 1A kids don't even notice as Dazai sneaks in and looms ominously behind the sofa. While Dazai can easily move around without making a sound, Chuuya would have expected more of them to notice him from the corner of their eyes or something. One of them, acid girl, sighs as the news channel flicks over to a break, "I could totally see those murders being the Port Mafia's fault."
Electric kid nods from beside her.
Dazai grins and leans in slightly, "I'm rather confident that the Port Mafia is unaffiliated."
Both acid and electric kids don't seem to register who exactly is talking to them. That is until electric kid turns with clear intent to say something and promptly screams upon seeing Dazai so close. That naturally causes a chain reaction for other kids to yelp in surprise. Momentarily, Chuuya is reminded of the numerous times when Mafia rookies would meet Dazai for the first time. With only knowledge of the infamous 'Demon Prodigy' and not 'Dazai the childish bastard' it would usually end with freaked-out expressions and sometimes screams.
Dazai seems to take great pleasure in this, Chuuya however just sighs and heads over to what is steadily becoming his (and Dazai's) spot.
Once the more jumpy students have calmed down the frog girl turns to face Dazai, "How are you so sure?" Her tone is steady and sure, a complete contrast to how most of the class speaks to Dazai.
"Well," somehow Dazai leans in further without tipping over onto the sofa, "we have a signature way of sending a message and, well, let's just say knives are not involved with that."
Internally, Chuuya wonders why Dazai is bringing this up when he literally was just talking about being nice to 1A. This is the second time he's thought that in the past five minutes, so yea, not looking good for Dazai's plan so far.
Before any of the students can further question that, Dazai springs up and turns to face Midoriya, "Midori-kun~ I haven't forgotten about our little deal y'know…"
A bad feeling settles in Chuuya's stomach, "What deal?" When was a deal between those two made? Dazai has barely left his side since they got to UA, so if he made a deal then Chuuya would have heard it. Should have heard it anyway.
Dazai barely spares his a glance while making his way over to Midoriya, "It's hardly any of your business Chibi Chuuya."
It takes all his strength not to launch a pillow at that idiot. Instead, he turns to Midoriya with a disapproving and slightly suspicious look, "What deal?" he asks again.
Midoriya seems caught off guard by his sudden seriousness and quickly begins waving his hands around in a panic, "I-It's nothing serious! I just- last night- That is to say Dazai-" He pauses and takes a breath before sheepishly continuing, "Dazai promised to show me some pictures from Yokohama if I made you both food last night so…"
That does make a lot of sense actually, Chuuya was quite suspicious about how Dazai had provided decent food last night. Makes sense that he would have outsourced the cooking to someone else.
Dazai huffs a little as he falls onto the sofa beside Midoriya, "Tch, why'd you tell him?" Midoriya doesn't seem to have an answer for that, or maybe he just doesn't want to admit that Chuuya spooked him into answering. Either way, he just looks around awkwardly until Dazai gives up on waiting for an answer, "Whatever. Here's my phone, have fun~"
Midoriya nods as he takes the phone and begins looking through the camera roll. A few other kids see this and begin crowding around the boy to see the pictures too. It's funny in a way to see these kids so intrigued by what Chuuya considers not special at all.
Hardening Quirk kid, which yea Chuuya needs to learn some more names, leans in to better see the phone, "I thought arcade games were rigged, how'd you get that high a score?" He asks Dazai.
Dazai takes a glance at the picture before shaking his head, "That was all Chuuya, his ridiculous strength comes in handy sometimes." A few of the kids look over with what almost seems to be an impressed look, that is before they remember who he is and quickly look away. Chuuya doesn't pay them any mind, instead, he thinks back to try and remember what picture they're looking at. It takes a moment but then it comes to him, about a month or so ago Dazai had dared him to try one of those strength test things at the arcade. Even without Upon the Tainted Sorrow, he got a crazy high score, so high in fact that all the self-proclaimed 'strong men' that had previously been using the machine genuinely looked upset. Dazai had almost taken a picture of them but thankfully settled for just getting a picture of the machine.
Midoriya continues to scroll along the pictures with occasional input from Dazai ("That's my favourite river!", "Doesn't that dog look just like Chuuya?", "That's the best bar in Yokohama~") and protests from Chuuya ("Why the hell did you take a picture of me asleep?!", "He only won because he cheated!", "I thought I told you to delete that!"). Eventually, though, Midoriya stumbles across the first video. Dazai does have a bad habit of taking videos at inappropriate times, this means that even if he already got rid of all the ones containing sensitive information before the mission started there is a real chance the 1A kids might stumble across something out of their comfort zone.
Case in point when the video starts with Dazai whining about hats and Chuuya immediately knows which one this is. Subtly he sends a look over at Dazai, is he going to stop them from watching it or not? Dazai meets his eyes and raises his eyebrows, the one that's visible anyway, a little bit. He then turns to face Midoriya and the group of kids around him. Alright, so he's not going to stop it.
"Hey Chuuya, what do you think of this one?"
Chuuya can hear himself scoff in the video. If he remembers correctly, which he does, then the pair of them were in a hat store just on the outskirts of Suribachi City. Chuuya was actually looking for a new hat, Dazai was just messing around and trying on all the weird options. They were on an unofficial break, which is to say Dazai didn't tell Chuuya they had a mission because he wanted to mess around for a bit.
From where he's sitting Chuuya can see a few of the 1A kids soften a little while watching the video, the start of it is really domestic so he isn't surprised. Dazai tries on extreme hats with huge feathers and bright colours while Chuuya just shakes his head in the background, it's all very normal. The second half of the video is far from that though.
Even without looking at it, Chuuya can tell when the rival gang member enters the frame and throws a punch directly at Dazai. It quickly descends into a fistfight between Chuuya and the gang member, all the while Dazai is ducked behind a display stand. In the grand scheme of things, it's really not that bad, not compared to the heaps of other shit that's happened to the two of them, but the UA kids will probably overreact about it. Although, that might work in their favour. Dazai wants to create pity so people let their guards down right? What's more sad than two teens being ambushed while having fun together?
Hardening Quirk kid shakes his head, "So unmanly…"
Acid girls turns to Chuuya, "How come that guy attacked you?"
Chuuya shrugs, how does he say 'We wiped out his entire gang and went for ice cream afterward' without causing a scene? Dazai, fortunately, saves him from having to answer, "We're Port Mafia remember, with so many enemies it's only natural for ambushes to happen~"
A few of the kids seem disturbed by that. Chuuya leans back in his chair, "You get used to it." That doesn't seem to help but whatever.
Before anyone can say anything else, and a few kids do look like they are about to ask questions, Dazai leans over and snatches back his phone. He tucks it into a pocket with unnecessary flare, "And that is the end of the show! Do me more favours and maybe you can see more~"
He stands and Chuuya can immediately tell what he's planning on doing, "Don't you dare." Dazai does not listen, no surprise there, and shoves himself down the gap between Chuuya and the armrest. There is hardly enough room for the pair of them but why would that fishy bastard care? Annoyed, Chuuya gives him a good shove before trying to get comfortable.
The 1A kids soon disperse back to their seats and mostly keep to themselves. Occasionality, one of them will glance over at Chuuya and Dazai like they want to say something but can't quite pluck up the courage just yet. After about twenty minutes Chuuya begins trying to guess who will look over next and when, he hasn't got any right so far but if Dazai would stop elbowing him under the guise of getting comfortable then maybe he would be able to.
At some point Yaoyorozu enters the room, for a minute or so she hovers by the door before walking closer. She looks determined and is walking directly towards Chuuya, hopefully, she isn't mad about his slip-up yesterday. In Chuuya's defence, only like three kids have bothered to introduce themselves so he can't be expected to know what is a nickname or not.
When she arrives in front of him the room quietens down as the class listens in to what she has to say. "Nakahara," she starts, "I wanted to thank you for dealing with Mineta yesterday. The teachers do try to stop him, but well, they can't be everywhere so…"
She trails off slightly and Chuuya takes that as his cue to speak, "Don't worry about it, any decent person would do the same." He pauses for a second, "Also, just call me Chuuya, literally no one calls me Nakahara back home."
Yaoyorozu nods, "Chuuya then, please accept my gratitude regardless."
Acid girl then takes the chance to chime in, "Yea thanks! Someone had to put that guy in his place."
Electric guy sighs, "He never listens when we say something, so hopefully he's too scared of you to try anything on the girls anymore." A few of the other guys nod along, which kinda pisses Chuuya off. If this kid has been such a problem for so long why hasn't UA done anything? If this was the Port Mafia Ane-san would have cut the guy's hands off after the first sign of trouble, which yea UA can't exactly do that but surely they can expel the kid?
Yaoyorozu looks confused and belatedly Chuuya realises that his annoyance must have leaked onto his face. Before he can say anything though, Dazai swoops in with a grin, "Oh don't mind him, Chuuya's just thinking of the injustice of it all! Why, I bet he's thinking 'If this was the Port Mafia-'"
Chuuya elbows him in the stomach to cut the idiot off, "No one asked, Mackerel."
While Dazai whines and groans in pain Chuuya just turns back to face the class, interestingly he finds the frog girl looking directly at him. A moment later she asks, "I was just wondering, ribbit, why you think like that?"
Ignoring the ribbit Chuuya tilts his head, "You mean why I think any decent person would have done that?"
Frog girl nods her head. Chuuya doesn't need to think much to answer, "Well, first of all, common sense. Secondly, my mentor back in the Mafia really values etiquette and all that- she would actually kill me if I let that slide." Chuuya easily hits Dazai without looking before he has the chance to make a 'Chuuya is a brute!' comment before continuing, "Also, Yaoyorozu looked uncomfortable as fuck. That plus what acid girl and earphone-"
Acid girl cuts him off, "How come you call Yaoyorozu her name and I'm just 'acid girl' huh?" She asks in mock offence.
"Well, you never introduced yourself, neither did most of you actually," Chuuya responds.
For a second no one says anything, and then acid girl lets out a single "huh." It takes a moment for her to speak again, "Well my name is Ashido Mina!"
Beside her electric boy speaks, "Kaminari Denki."
"Kirishima Ejirou!"
That sets off a chain reaction of the class announcing their names, something Chuuya is glad for because the nicknames he gave them in his head were getting tiring to say.
-
Aizawa isn't exactly looking forward to this next lesson. Practical heroics is always a pain to deal with, especially with All Might involved, but with the introduction of Dazai and Chuuya things have just gotten more troublesome. Two more students to keep an eye on and reign in when needed, except even worse because these two are actual criminals.
Part of Aizawa wants to be cautiously optimistic, unfortunately for that part, he is a pessimist by nature with no plans of changing. After that initial scare on Saturday morning, things had actually gone smoothly, both Dazai and Nakahara got on well with 1A. Which yes, that might just be because Aizawa promised them their Mafia clothes back if they were well-behaved but it doesn't really matter, as long as no fights broke out it's a win. Hell, he might even call it more than a win since some of the kids seem less skittish around those two now. While 1A should keep their guards up until Dazai and Nakahara stop being a threat it's unnecessary for them to be so high-strung all the time.
None of the other teachers had reported them misbehaving during today's lessons, although Nerumi did complain that Dazai was doodling the entire way through her lesson.
During the morality and ethics class today Aizawa had been able to get some more information out of the two of them about their lives back in Yokohama, it wasn't anything huge but well, baby steps. First, he needs to build trust with them before he can even dream of getting more serious information, which in truth Aizawa doesn't mind doing. He much prefers seeing those two argue over who has better taste in food or video games than seeing them fight with skills no teenager should have. Part of him, perhaps that cautiously optimistic part, thinks that he too is warming up to them just like 1A.
Before the morality and ethics class, Aizawa had stopped off at the support course rooms to retrieve the duo's Mafia clothes. Powerloader had volunteered to be the one to check the clothes over and get them ready to be worn again, Aizawa suspects that what he really wanted was to see if Yokohama uses any unique fabric for clothes. Powerloader's problem child Hatsume had also seemed interested in Dazai and Nakahara, the entire time Aizawa was there she kept asking about getting to speak to the pair. Apparently, Hatsume had already come up with twenty-five different support items for the pair and just had to speak to them about getting her 'babies' into Yokohama. Aizawa decided then and there it would be best to keep her away from those two, for both his sake and Powerloader's.
When he had handed over their clean and mended Mafia clothes at the end of the morality and ethics class the two of them looked incredibly pleased and had wasted no time whisking off to the changing rooms to get ready. When they emerged fully dressed Aizawa briefly thought that it might have been a mistake to give them their clothes back so soon, while yes they certainly looked more comfortable in them over the UA sports uniform the sight of the two of them dressed like that does bring back some unpleasant memories. Hopefully, none of the 1A kids are badly affected by it.
Aizawa glances over at the pair as he waits for 1A to finish getting ready. In preparation for the lesson, Aizawa had already given Dazai a small paintball gun along with strict instructions to use it responsibly. That is to say, don't try and replicate what happened last time. Dazai had agreed but Aizawa is still going to keep an eye on him just in case, he would hate for some other kid in 1A to get the same treatment that Bakugou did last time.
Speak of the devil, it seems 1A has finished getting ready as they slowly begin filing into the room. Thankfully, this time Bakugou isn't leading the pack with the intention of starting a fight.
Aizawa waits until everyone gets close enough to him and stops chatting, "Today we'll be heading to one of the larger training grounds."
All Might nods, "Yes! While there you all will be playing… Cops and robbers!"
Whispers break out at that as the class discusses it amongst themselves. They look a little too excited by this, which is when Aizawa steps in, "Don't think this is some game, the losing team will be punished."
Kaminari looks around with an anxious expression, "Punished how?"
Aizawa grins, "Lose and you'll find out."
Iida raises his hand, "Sensei! How will we decide the teams?"
Before Aizawa can answer Dazai steps forward, a few of the class eye him wearily. It doesn't seem like anyone is majorly put off by the outfit change, which is good to see. "Isn't it obvious?" Dazai starts, "It's gonna be all of you versus us!"
Iida looks to Aizawa for confirmation to which he nods. Like Nedzu said, those two will work differently when together so it'll be useful to see them in action and while he doesn't want to see his students lose again and again, it might end up being a good motivator for them.
Unsurprisingly, Bakugou grins and begins to let off small explosions from his hands while Midoriya begins to mutter plans. The rest of the class seems to be a mix between anxious and determined, it seems that those two might be motivating 1A already.
"Ah! Sensei, I actually have a request before we start." Dazai says with an innocent look. Aizawa can't find it in himself to believe that look, maybe because of how things ended the last time when Dazai had a request. He couldn't be pestering for a gun this time though, given the fact he already has one. So, what is his request, and will Aizawa regret entertaining it? He gets a feeling the answer to that second part will always be yes.
"And what is this request?"
Dazai smiles, "Well! Me and Chuuya are, naturally, going to win here-" he ignores the disagreeing yells from Bakugou, "buuuut I can't help but think it's a little unfair on us, no?"
Given the skills the two of them have shown so far Aizawa would disagree with that, but he wants to see where this is going.
Dazai takes his silence as permission to continue, "2 vs.. how many is it? 21? Right, 2 vs 21 is just unfair right?"
"What's your point?" Aizawa asks tiredly.
"Let's make this a 3 vs 20," Dazai is still smiling as class 1A sends each other worried looks. It isn't surprising the class seems nervous to be on a team with those two, while it may be true that Dazai and Nakahara got on well with 1A over the weekend that doesn't translate to teamwork in a fight.
"You… want a 1A kid to be on your team?"
"Yep!" Dazai nods. Chuuya looks disgruntled at this, almost like he doesn't agree with the plan but has no say in it.
Aizawa thinks it over for a second, the point of this was to see how Nakahara and Dazai work together not to see how they work with someone else. However, working as a trio would cause them to explain things that would have previously gone unsaid by the duo. Depending on who they pick that student might get some real development on their own skills...
Sighing, Aizawa relents, "If anyone does not want to be on their team come stand near me." Hopefully, this time he won't come to regret giving in to Dazai's request, if it does end up like that though then he swears not to ever do it again. A decent amount of the class moves across with little hesitation. Aizawa gestures to the ones remaining, "Go ahead then, pick a teammate."
With a nod, Dazai turns to Chuuya, "Chibi! Who should we pick?"
Nakahara rolls his eyes, "Don't call me that, and also why the hell are you asking me?"
"Because we're partners!" Dazai declares.
"Oh so now I get an opinion? Not all the other times though, huh?"
"Well if you insist, I'll just have to make the decision myself!"
Dazai turns his gaze to the group of students and grins, he points a finger and moves it around in a dramatic manor before finally landing on a student, "I want you~"
