Aizawa/deppresso espersso prov:

"ahhhhhh!" I was on patrol early because the rat/mouse/bear thing said I needed decent sleep.

Flashback

" Eraserhead!
I turned around to see Nezu walking towards me.

" yes? "

" I need you to go on patrol early, because I think you need a proper sleep! You do have a class to teach you know? "

" I don't thi-"

" PERFECT! I knew you would say yes"
I gave up all reasoning as he ran away before I could reply. He would never had let me say no anyway, with a sigh I turned back to my class.

End of Flashback

I was getting to the abandoned area of town so I was about to turn back when I saw something. A human shape standing on one of the taller buildings .

" what is someone doing up there?"

After having a mental argument with myself I went to investigate .
It turned out to be a young boy, perhaps in middle school, with a large head of hair. And standing on the edge of the building. I let out a few curses and quickly made my way towards him.

I landed on the concrete roof, making myself known, the kid didn't look back. He took a step forward till he was barely touching the edge. Now I was starting to have a mini heart attack.

I took a deep breath, not wanting to freak him out I said,

" what are you goining to do kid?"

I cringed at how unfriendly I sounded. The kid said one word...

" jumping."

Then he stepped forward. I lunged at him, my capture gear trying to wrap itself around his body. I found my self over the edge and my knuckles turned white as I held onto the railing. I tryed not to envision his body lying face first in his own pool of blood, then I felt a tug at the other end of my scarf. Letting out a sigh of relief I stared to pull us up.

" god this kid is heaver than he looks"

I pulled both of us to safety and over the railing before I got a good look at him. My scarf was wrapped tightly around him so he wouldn't try again. His eyes were closed so I guess he passed out. Freckles were sprinkled over his face and six stood out more than the others, creating a triangle shape on each cheek. He had a bittersweet sent coming off him, it reminded me of coffee.

As I thought of coffee I realised that I was behind on my hourly caffeine dose.

Dekus pov:

The last thing I remember was stepping off the edge. I knew there was somebody behind me but I didn't care. Then I felt a tug at my stomach, the pain was dull but enough to make me pass out. Then I woke up.

A grey cream coloured scaft was wrapped firmly around my midriff. I looked up to see...

My eyes grew wide in surprise. It was eraserhead. I was enternaly screaming with joy. But I stopped, why was he here? With a useless nobody like me?

I could see that he was sitting down and pouring an empty takeaway coffee mug on the concrete.

" dam, I forgot to get a refill"

" um s..sir."

He looked up from his VERY important job of searching for leftover caffeine. His expression showing that he was surprised that I was awake.

" hey kid, how do you feel?" he askedin his monotone voice.

" .w-why did you save me?" Anxiety rippled through me.

Eraserhead looked at me with his bored eyes.

" cus kids shouldn't go around jumping off buildings" and he managed to say this without a hint of irony in his voice.

I sat still for a second. He didn't know a thing about me. I was a stranger to him. So why did he 'help' me?

"I didn't need saving"

"okay" he didn't release me from his scarf. I crossed my arms in annoyance.

So we sat in silence for a few awkward seconds then he asked a question I was dreading.

" why did you jump?"

"none of your business"

Eraserhead rolled his eyes "its a requirement kid. I'd loose my job I'd I didn't go through 'safety protocol' with people like you"

"I don't care if you loose your job" lies.

Eraser sighed and ran a hand down his face "yea but I do, so just put up with it"

He ran through the questions,and i either ignored him outright or snapped back with a question of my own. Surprisingly he broke out in a smile once or twice. Talking here and there and then we found ourselves in a conversation. Although I would never admit it, he actually managed to destract me.
