One weeks. It's been on entire weeks since Aizawa has gotten a good nights sleep. He's been able to catch the occasional nap here and there especially in his home room class since he could count on Iida and Yaoyorozu with teaching the other students and making sure they stayed in line. But he knew he couldn't keep this up. Eventually he was gonna reach his limit.
Hizashi noticed his boyfriends sluggish movement and the terrible state he appeared to be in. Although Aizawa had a reputation of not always looking suitable and well dressed he appeared worse than he normally does. His hair was more ruffled and tangled than usual and the bags under his eyes appeared to have bags of their own. And he questioned why he looked so exhausted. He knew that the boy went to sleep at a reasonably hour since he enforced it after finding out the dangerous amount of sleep the boy was receiving when they had started their relationship. Even though they didn't live together he always tried to make sure that Aizawa was getting enough rest calling him before his bed time to make sure that he got ready and FaceTiming him until he fell asleep and if he wouldn't answer he knew that the man was asleep.
Aizawa knew how Hizashi could tell he was asleep and once he figured it out he worked around that. He made sure not to answer any of his calls after the time he was supposed to be sleeping even though he truly wanted to. The reason behind it was that if he answered he knew that the blonde would only make him go to sleep and that's not something he wanted.
He knew that he needed sleep but it was hard to do that when his thoughts would keep him up about all the possible things that could happen during the night. After all, night is the villains type of day. He would never forgive himself if a civilian got seriously injured or even killed just because he wanted something as unimportant as sleeping. So every night after Hizashi assumed he was sleeping he would actually go on patrol careful not to be seen by any civilians or other heroes especially Hizashi. If a civilian caught him then they would most likely post it online or say something and eventually Hizashi would find out and he definitely didn't need to be scolded by his caregiver when he already felt like shit.
"Shota, come here." Hizashi says from the bed.
"I'm almost done grading these papers ill be there in a second." Aizawa says from his desk.
"Those can wait and I'll help you later I want you to come here right now" He said with an odd firmness in his tone but it still held the same kindness as always.
"I said in a second." Aizawa replied.
"And I said right now" Hizashi states adding a bit more sternness catching Aizawa off guard, He sighed before setting the pen down and walking over to his boyfriend.
"What?" He asked clearly annoyed. Hizashi grabbed his arm gently pulling him into his lap and had a hand on his cheek taking a good look at Aizawa.
"When was the last time you slept?" He asked pushing the stray strands of hair away from Aizawa's face.
"Last night why?" Aizawa answered pulling his face away from Hizashi's hands.
"Wanna try that again Shota?" He asked again giving the man a second chance to tell him the truth.
"I fell asleep the night prior to this one? What the f**k do you want me to say?" He asked, he felt his heart pounding in his chest and his stomach twisting but he couldn''t bring himself to tell the truth. If Hizashi knew about what he's been doing he would definitely be disappointed.
"First of all watch your language and two you're lying you have a tell so you I'm giving you one more chance to tell me the truth now when was the last time you had a full nights rest?" Hizashi asked once again. He didn't like talking to Aizawa in this tone but he knew that he had to hold it because if he allowed himself to go soft for even one second Aizawa would use it to get himself out of any situation.
