All I Have Is All You Gave To Me [Young!Aizawa x Reader]

72 Into The Black - Chromatics

It's better to burn out than to fade away

My my, hey hey

I had not been prepared for the sudden rain today, but I was lucky since it was the end of my shift at the agency. At least I didn't have to go too far in my soaked clothes. Well, that's what I thought when I headed back to Alley Cat's agency. But my plans changed quickly and drastically with a phone call I got while I was on my way back to the agency to get changed and head home.

It was Hizashi who was calling and only now did I see that he had tried calling twice before. He also seemed to have sent me a load of texts. Did something happen? I quickly picked up the call.

"Zashi? What's up? Sorry, I was still working..." I said. It was eerily quiet at the other end. Did he call me by accident? What was going on? Just as I was going to ask again, I heard him talking.

"(F/N). Can... can you come over to the agency? It's... it's important. Shou... he's... he needs you, okay?" Hizashi said. His voice sounded weirdly strained. When I heard that, my heart sunk.

"O-okay... I'm on my way right now. Did something happen? Is Shou okay? What's going on?" I wanted to know. A million horror scenarios started going through my head at the same time.

What if Shouta had gotten hurt badly? What if he was... what if he was dead? I started feeling nauseous just thinking about it. But surely... surely Hizashi would tell me if it was something like that, right? He wouldn't just let me find out once I got there, right? At least I hoped so.

"Well, there... there was a villain attack and... and Oboro... just... just come over, okay?" Hizashi replied.

"Okay... okay... I'll be there in five. See you then." I said and hung up, walking faster. There was a villain attack? Had something happened to Oboro? Why was Shouta with Hizashi and not Oboro? Sure, all of us were friends, but if it came down to it, Oboro was his closest friend...

I was getting a bad feeling about this and it only got worse the closer I got to the agency, especially when I saw some roadblocks on the way there. I was wondering whether I should check what they were for, but I had promised Hizashi to get there as soon as possible. There was no time to see what was going on. But if that was because of the villain attack that Hizashi had mentioned... well, if there was a roadblock that meant there was a lot of damage.

It felt like an eternity until I had finally managed to get to the agency, even though it probably took me less than the five minutes I had mentioned. Through the glass panels I could see a whole lot of people walking up and down, there was police, there were paramedics and office staff... what the hell was going on here? I just stood there for a while, taking everything in, before I managed to snap back to reality. I walked up to the doors, feeling almost numb.

Once I was inside everything seemed so hectic, I didn't even know where to go first. I just let my eyes wander over the crowds which was not really doing anything good to my nerves. All it did was make me feel even more anxious. This wasn't normal. Something had happened and it was something big for that many people to be around. And that meant something bad had happened.

As I let my eyes wander around the place I could see Hizashi standing up, trying to get my attention. His hair was hanging down his face and he looked like he was soaked to the bone. Next to him was Shouta, who was just sitting there, staring at the ground in front of him, wrapped up in a blanket. Shit, this looked bad. And where the hell was Oboro? Why wasn't he here?

I took a deep breath and told myself that he was probably injured and was just at the hospital, getting treated or something. That he'd be okay in a week or two. Something like that. It couldn't be anything else, right? Kids our age dying - that was something that happened to other people, right?

"Hizashi... Hizashi, what happened? What's going on here?" I asked him, hoping he'd finally tell me, as I approached him. Shouta looked like he was still in shock about something. I had never seen him like this.

"(F/N), Oboro, he's... he's..."

"In hospital?"

"No, he's... he's dead, (F/N)." Hizashi told me. It took me a while until those words really registered with me. He was... he was dead? How was he dead? I had just been talking to him yesterday evening.

We had all made plans for the weekend together. This weekend... and... how was Oboro dead now? No, no, no. That made no sense. That couldn't be. He wasn't dead. They were playing some sick prank on me, weren't they? I was just about to tell them to stop joking, but then I looked down at Shouta and... well, I just knew they weren't joking. This was real. They were serious.

"What... but... but how...? My God..." I said quietly, my voice breaking and getting more quiet. I felt my knees getting weaker and dropped down on my knees in front of Shouta. He looked up at me. He was shivering a little and his eyes looked red and swollen, as if he had been crying.

"My God, Shouta..." I muttered and pulled him into my arms. I really needed the hug at that moment, but I think Shouta did, as well. He pulled me closer, resting his head on my shoulder. I wasn't even sure what to say to him, I only just now heard that Oboro had died, I had no idea what exactly had happened, all I knew was that Shouta was in pain and needed me.

"H-he... he was right t-there... i-it happened... right in front of my eyes... and I-I couldn't do anything..." Shouta mumbled, his voice broken up by sobbing. It only made me realize that all of this was actually real. Oboro had really died and Shouta had been there, seeing it and Oboro wasn't coming back in some way. He was gone. Forever. Just thinking about that brought tears to my eyes.

"I'm so sorry, Shou... I'm so sorry..." I mumbled, as I buried my face in the nape of his neck, tears streaming down my face. I only now realized that Shouta was just as soaked as Hizashi - they had probably been outside when it had started raining - and that his skin was cold as ice.

"Maybe... maybe you can somehow stay with Shouta tonight. I don't think he should be alone..." Hizashi told me quietly. I glanced over at him and just nodded, even though I had no idea where the hell we were supposed to stay. But I knew I couldn't leave him alone. Hell, I couldn't leave myself alone after this.

I was honestly surprised that I hadn't seen Nemuri yet. And that Hizashi seemed to somehow have things under control. But maybe that was just because Shouta was doing so much worse than him.

"W-we can't go b-back to m-my place..." Shouta just mumbled. I nodded, running my hand through his hair.

"I know, I know... w-we'll figure something out... o-okay? I-I'm not leaving you alone... no matter what happens..." I replied, as I felt my body shaking and getting wrecked by another sob.

"You should both probably get into some dry clothes. You can stay at my place, if you don't mind." I suddenly heard a voice behind us. I turned around slightly and saw Nemuri standing there. She seemed fine at first glance, but the longer I looked at her, the more I noticed that she wasn't okay.

Her hair was still dishevelled, she looked paler than usual and her voice sounded shallow, as if she was empty inside. Some of her make-up around her eyes was smeared and I wasn't sure whether it was because of the rain or because she was crying. I wouldn't be surprised about either of those things.

"T-thank you, Nem... t-that w-would be perfect..." I said, while wondering how things could ever be normal again after this.
