By Your Side // Aizawa Shota X Reader

53

- Aizawa's POV -

I found myself in (Y/N)'s room instead of mine. Of course I remembered why I was here. When I turned my head to the left, I looked at the face of no one other than the owner of this room.

I know very well how this brat could fall for her. I did so too, after all.
I'm really really glad that she chose me. Though I don't know how she came to like me. But still, the fact that she chose me, made me the happiest man alive.

After staring at her face for a while, I looked at those delicate fingers wound so snugly around my hand. Then I used my free hand to brush off some strands of hair that had gotten on her face.
All I did was watch (Y/N)'s face from up close.

Eventually, she also woke up and just like it was meant to be, her eyes looked right into mine the moment she opened them.

- Aizawa's POV end -

You softly opened your eyes and Shota's face was the first thing you saw.
Still a little sleepy, you snuggled your head on his chest.
"Good morning." Shota said.
That was just the right thing you needed. Seeing his face and hearing his voice first thing in the morning.
"What time is it?" you mumbled into his chest after a while. "7 am" he answered.
"Then, let me sleep a little while longer. It's the weekend after all." your voice got more quiet with every word you said.
Shota gently cupped your face with his hands and said, "But you'll be having breakfast soon.", as he slowly pulled your head up to him.
Your once closed eyes slowly opened but only halfway before you closed them again. But not for long though. Seconds after, you finally opened them for good. You slowly got up and Shota did the same.

In your bathroom, Shota undid some light knots in your hair with one hand as he used his other to brush his teeth just like you did.
After you two were done, it was time to say goodbye because Shota had to go back to the teacher's dorm.
Once his presence was gone, you gave Kuro his breakfast before you went down to eat your own.
The thought of being able to see your loved one again always got you in a good mood. And when you actually see him, then your time together turn into moments of bliss.
Though all you do was cuddling.

And so, another day flew by and it was the evening again.

Right now, Shota was by your side and he was talking about the time you got hurt on the mission you had taken part in.
Yeah, he told you how he came to develop feeling for you because you had asked him.
"It all probably started when you got hurt at that time. I was so worried about you I thought I'd go crazy."
Once you heard that, you regretted your past decisions. Then it hadn't had to come to hurting Hanazono.
But Shota quickly made you forget about him by pulling you closer to him and resting his chin on your head.
His embrace and his warmth made you drift off to dreamland.
