You woke up to your first alarm, which is great since you have a hard time getting up in the mornings. You pull yourself out of bed and make your way to the kitchen to put some coffee on before letting your dogs out in the backyard. Tiny cries come from a box in the living room, the kittens you're fostering are up and ready for breakfast. One of them are a smaller and weaker than the other so you've been bottle feeding it for a couple days now.

"Aww, how ya doing, baby girl?" You coo as she hungrily grabs at the bottle. Artemis sticks her nose up to smell the box. "Gentle, Artie, gentle."

Once the kittens are fed, you close the back door and turn off your coffee maker. You go to your room and do your usual morning routine. Nothing about this morning was eventful, everything went just as it normally did..so you had no way of preparing yourself for what was to come later today.

As you pull into the school parking lot, you hear on the radio that All Might has been quite busy.

"Wish I was a bit more active in the mornings, damn." You say as your turn your car off and get out.

"[y/n], good morning." Aizawa walks up to you, looking equally as tired as he did last night.

"Good morning! How was the rest of your patrol?"

"Uneventful after catching 'the guy' and walking you home." He gives you a soft smile, you feel your cheeks heat up.

"Ah, well, guess we had a similar night then."

"Guess so. I, uh, was thinking about dropping by for that coffee like you offered but I wasn't sure how your boyfriend would feel about a grown man showing up at your door in the middle of the night."

"Oh, I..don't have a boyfriend." You looked down, embarrassed. It had been quite some time since your last relationship. It didn't end very well and you decided to just put off dating for a while.

"Ah, well, my mistake.."

"Haha, it's ok. You think my boyfriend would've let me walk by myself so late at night?"

"I mean, you had your dogs."

"Yeah..I had my dogs."

"And, well, you had me." You look at him surprised.

"I had you?"

"Yep, I wouldn't have let anything happen to you." You smiled warmly while internally screaming.

"I appreciate that. But, yknow, I got some moves of my own from back in my hero days." He lifts an eyebrow.

"We'll have to spar some day, I'm interested to see these 'moves'" Your eyes widen.

"I haven't spared in a while, I'd be afraid of embarrassing myself." You put your hands on your cheeks.

"Won't know until you try." He shrugs, his face settles into his signature disinterested look as you get closer to the front doors.

"I suppose.." He nods and it's silent for a second.

"What do you have planned for the day?" You ask as you walk through the main hall.

"I'm taking the students to the USJ with Vlad, Thirteen and All Might." Your ears perk up, all of the first year hero course? Yua said those were the classes whose schedules might've been taken.

"Um, are you sure that's a good idea? Maybe you should hold off for a day or two"

"Why do you say that?"

"Well, with the press trespassing on school grounds yesterday, maybe things should settle down first."

"If my students need to take a break every time the media inconveniences them then they'll never make it as pros.." He looked straightforward, all hints of flirting that happened not two minutes ago was gone.

"I know I can't tell you how to run your class but I sincerely believe that you should wait."

"Why? What else happened yesterday?."He turned and looked at you. You wanted to say something but you knew you tad to talk to Principal Nezu first.

"I-nothing.." You looked down. Aizawa was still looking at you.

"Hm. Well, we'll be cautious but I wouldn't worry. Not only will there be three pro heroes there but the one and only All Might. I don't care for his involvement with the media, but he isn't the number one hero for no reason." You look up and feel reassured. He's right, even if something did happen, they'd have All Might there. There's nothing to worry about.

"Alright well, regardless, if any of your students need someone to talk to, feel free to send them to me."

"I think we'll be fine, but I appreciate the offer" You roll your eyes.

"All the teachers say that until they call me down for help." He rolls his eyes this time.

"I assure you I won't need your help." You shake your head and chuckle.

"Have a good day, today, Mr. Aizawa" You put your hand on his shoulder and walk away. He stands there for a second, watching you walk away and then turns to go to his classroom, cheeks burning underneath his scarf.
