You were sleeping again. You seemed to sleep all the time nowadays. Aizawa had come to your place after his work day, and since you had a day off, you were curled up under a blanket on the couch. You looked so calm, but while he was staring at you, something caught his eye. Your other arm wasn't under the covers, and your sleeve had hiked up, so your wrist was exposed. It was covered in small scars and cuts. Some were very light, and barely visible, but others looked fresh. Aizawa couldn't help but to reach his hand to touch your wrist. He could feel the scars and cuts under his finger tips. He wasn't repulsed or freaked out, he was sad. He was sad that you felt so bad you did this to yourself. Apparently you had woken up without him noticing, since you quickly pulled your arm to yourself. You looked scared, and like you were about to cry.
The two of you just sat in silence for a little while. Aizawa didn't know what he should say, and you didn't really want to say anything. Finally, Aizawa broke the silence.
"Do you want to talk abou it?", he asked.
"I don't know." you sighed. "What am I supposed to say in a situation like this?"
"Just... Say what comes to mind, I'll listen."
"Well... I assume you know what the marks on my arm are. It's just something to concentrate on, distract myself from the chaos in my head, most of the time at least."
"What else is it?"
You kept quiet for a while. How were you supposed to tell someone you loved that you wanted to die? You didn't want to be a problem for anyone, and sometimes it felt like that was all you were.
"You know there is a history of suicide in my family, right?", you asked quietly.
The second you mentioned the word, "suicide" Aizawa could feel his heart clench. He couldn't say anything. He just wrapped his arms around you and hugged you. He didn't want to let you go. He just wanted to keep you safe from everything.
"I love you.", he said, and you could hear his voice shaking a bit.
"I love you too.", you sniffled.
Aizawa knew he couldn't just make the problem disappear, but he was dead set on helping you. He would be by you every step of the way, and he would make sure you knew that too. He wanted you to know, that no matter what, you were loved.
