15: You Can Take A Horse To Water

"Are we going to address the incident?" Aizawa asked. He, Midnight, Present Mic and All Might had all gotten together for this meeting but they were avoiding the topic at hand.

"I don't know what to make of it." Midnight said with a sigh "I thought there would be some adjustment but..." she trailed off. The others nodded knowingly. Aizawa let his mind retrace what had gone down hours earlier. 

----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- 

Kyo had been just fine in the dorms since he arrived. All sharp objects were sealed away in locked drawers only teachers could access so everyone felt safe. They were all strong enough to take down a 15 year old who was smaller than most of their students. 

But everything had been fine and although a tad abrasive, Kyo didn't outwardly hate any of the staff members. In fact he seemed to enjoy spending time with Recovery Girl and All Might.

That's why the incident came as such a shock.

There were two rooms to each floor and Aizawa shared his floor with Kyo. He had been sleeping peacefully until around 2 am when he heard sobbing that was loud enough to wake him up. Truth be told he was a light sleeper but he was still a little ways away from Kyo's bedroom. He assumed it was some kind of nightmare, something Hound Dog had warned them about after Kyo's psych evaluation. 

Aizawa had left his dorm when the sobs persisted and got louder. He wasn't prepared for what was happening thought. 

When he opened the door he could see two people, Midnight and Kyo. The teacher was standing barely out of the doorway with a concerned expression while Kyo was on the other side of the room curled in the blanket. "What's going on?" The underground hero had asked. 

It was like his presence only made it worse. Kyo's eyes became even more scared and he seemed to shrink impossibly into the corner. "I was just checking on his, for the night shift." Midnight said quietly, still in her bathrobe and very confused "And he was sleeping on the floor so I woke him up to move back to the bed and he just started crying.". 

The teacher looked over at Kyo and noticed he was mumbling something to himself. Aizawa couldn't quite make out what it was but he could tell it was repetitive. "Sweetie, why don't you just go to bed, huh? I'm so sorry for scaring ya." The art history teacher said, taking a few steps towards Kyo. 

All noise from the boy stopped and the room went silent. Soon the mumbling started up again and in the absence of sobs Aizawa could make out what he was saying. 

"Sorry, M'sorry sorry, sorry, sorry-" And on and on. His voice was broken and he sounded downright terrified. Aizawa quickly shooed an apologetic looking Midnight into the hallway and told her to head back to sleep. 

"Kyo, can you look at me for a second?" Aizawa asked, his feet firmly in place at the doorway. Kyo flinched and looked up. Silent tears continued to stream down the 15 year old's face. 

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been on the ground I didn't know anyone was coming I should have been-" "Should have been what?" "Prepared." "Prepared for what?" The hero asked softly. 

It was like that flipped a switch in Kyo's brain. His vision seemed to clear up and he took in his surroundings. This was his room at U.A. 

"Kyo, what about that made you so upset? What did Midnight say or do?" The teacher asked softly, no judgement in his voice. The moment Kyo came to his conclusion on what he thought he was doing, he looked at the floor, too ashamed to speak. Aizawa noticed this and changed his question, a sinking feeling in his chest. "What did you think was going on? What did you think she was going to do?" He asked, when Kyo didn't respond and began to tear up again, Aizawa's heart shattered.
