By Your Side // Aizawa Shota X Reader

54

"Aizawa-Sensei looks different these days."
These were the words of Uraraka when you were making your way out of the classroom to Lunch Rush to eat there.
"Now that you mention it, he really does." Asui put a finger on her chin as she was thinking back.
Now it was Midoriya who joined in on the conversation. "I was also thinking the same. It's probably because his hair is tied in a waterfall braid. I didn't know hair can influence ones look that much."
"Yeah he sure looks different. In a positive kind of way. Don't you think?" You did your best to prevent the muscles in your face to make you smile.
They all lightly nodded their head in agreement.
No wonder Shota looked different. It was because you had been styling his hair every morning recently.

- Flashback || A few days ago -

You had two hours before school was to start.
Shota and you were already finished washing up and changing your clothes and were just sitting on your bed, waiting for the time to pass.
You glanced up to Shota and stared at him for a bit. After some time, you smiled because something popped into your mind and you asked him, "Will you let me style your hair?"
He let you do it and so it was the start of you being Shota's personal hair stylist; one he didn't have to pay for.

- End Of Flashback -

Thanks to this, he looked way less grumpy. Well, to you he had never looked like this but other people seem to have such a picture of him.

"You reeeally seem to be in a very good mood recently.", Mina studied your face, "What's wrong? You got a new boyfriend or what?"
"What? No. I don't think that I'll ever get a boyfriend again. During my highschool time that is."
That was a huge lie that you were going to carry for three years until the day of your graduation.
And that would be a long time until then.

After school, you went straight to your room in the dorm.
"I'm really excited for the upcoming class trip.", you said to Shota while you spun on your swivel chair.
"You know that it's a training field trip." Shota noted, his voice sounded a little stern.
"I know. And that's why I'll do my best to improve when we're there."
Suddenly, you felt that the chair you sat on, got stopped and turned so you were to face Shota now.
His dark orbs looked right into your eyes and you heard him say, "Don't overstrain yourself too much though."
"Hmmm..." You looked away to avoid his gaze. "I can't promise you."
Shota let out a frustrated sigh and rested a hand on your head. He leaned in close and pinched your nose. "Then I'm going to make sure to take care of you."
After a glance out of the window, Shota turned back to you and said, "You should go to bed now."
While he said that, he suddenly slid his hand under your armpits and lifted you off the chair.
You felt like a small kid when he did that and carried you to your bed.
"I can walk on my own you know." you stated but all he said was 'I know'.
In your bed, he clasped your hands together and kissed your forehead before falling asleep.
