Shouta Aizawa was fond of stray cats. His friend, Hizashi, would often make fun of him for having a litter’s worth of kittens in his apartment. But he enjoyed caring for them, socializing them, and finding them homes.

This kitty was special, however. He was always seeing a pretty cat with a calico coat following him around on patrols, oftentimes far away from where he had first seen her. Aizawa had tried time and time again to capture her, but she evaded him every time. He wasn’t sure why this cat had taken such a liking to him, but he wasn’t complaining.

Tonight was different. He had finally managed to grab her, using himself as a sort of lure. He promptly set her inside the cage he had prepared and made his way back home. She hadn’t let up hissing and scratching the entire time, but the cage held firm.

Now home, he set the cage on the floor as gently as he could. Aizawa bent down, undoing the lock with two fingers and stepping back to let the cat do her own thing.
