A/n: Some angst...?

Aizawa's POV

I can't believe this. Is she really gone? Why... Why now when I've finally put a stop to her dad. With the information Bakugou gave me and the blood test I had collected from her, there was enough evidence that placed her father along with his collaborators to prison. 

If only she were here... if only had I done something before then.

I recall how I met her. It was a bit after the sports festival when I was out of my bandages. I was with Hizashi looking through some documents when Kayama came in saying, "Hey you two, have you heard? We're getting a new student. Not just any plain old student but a daughter of a pro hero." 

"Oh." I responded unenthusiastically. 

"Really? Who?" Hizashi leaned in with interest.

~~

I was walking to class one day when a student bumped into me. "Oh, pardon me." she quickly bowed.

"It's alright, just make sure where you're walking next time." I told her.

"Yes sir." She nodded and bowed several times.

"I don't recall seeing you around." I muttered out my thoughts. Is she the new student?

She bowed again and fixed her posture, "Right, I'm a new student. You must be Mr. Aizawa correct? Teacher of class 1-A." I nodded and she continued. "Great, I'm (L/N) (Y/N), I am looking forward to being taught by the one and only Eraserhead." She smiled.

She knows who I am even though she hasn't seen me use my quirk? Not even my students realized that right off bat, at least for Midoriya that is. Maybe she's not like (Y/n dad's Pro Hero Name). She's more than a spoiled rich girl.

"Flatter won't get you anywhere kid." I tell her in a serious tone. I notice there's something about her... she's acting, is that it? Her personality doesn't match with the way her eyes look.

Her eyes are cold but her tone is calm and polite. "It's not flatter sir. I don't flatter people. Nor do I like those who adore to be flattered and the center of attention. With all due respect, more heroes should be like you. You stay away from the press and do your job as all hero should do." She starts saying but then clears her throat, there's a clear shift in her personality that makes me wonder... "Pardon me, I've spoken too much and spoken when I haven't been asked to."

Odd. For just a brief second, she seemed almost afraid of voicing her opinion. "Don't worry about it. And you don't have to keep excusing yourself you did nothing wrong." I tiredly said, "Come on, class is starting."

"Yes sir." She stated almost robotically.

We arrived at the classroom, I start by having her introduce herself. Usually I'd be in my sleeping bag by now after quickly giving them instructions but I can't help but notice and feel unsettled by how this new student (Y/N) gives her introduction. I've checked through her file that Nezu had given me. According to her file, she has two quirks. And yet...

When someone asked about her quirk she didn't mention having two. I don't understand why she would hide that. I wonder if she's similar to Todoroki who had previously refused to use his left side. 

But Once she states her family background, the puzzle pieces come together. She stated in the coldest way possible that she'd become a hero her dad would be proud of.

I don't think many can tell but her reasoning and the tone of her voice led me to believe she wasn't agreeing with what she had said. It was more like she was reading something off script and hiding her actual thoughts and opinions.

Once again making me wonder why that was.

From that point on, I had kept a close eye on her. Like a good teacher should, I wanted to get to the bottom of this and help my student. And so I did, I tried helping her throughout her time in UA but alas sometimes things do not go the way we wish it.

~~

Present Time~

Today, UA is holding a ceremony in her name. A couple of students spoke a few words about her. Hizashi, All Might, and I also said a thing or two. It was very difficult for me to speak and assimilate that she was no longer here.

I'm going to miss her, I really cared about her, I was proud of her and I'll always regret not being able to help her the way she deserved it.

In a way, I feel like I lost more than my student. I remember her telling me once how she wished her dad was like me, at the time I didn't really think much of it but now I do. I really do feel as if I had lost a daughter; my daughter—(Y/N).

Time Skip~

The days passed by; I was in a bad mood. I was restless; I couldn't sleep well. I was walking back to my dorm room, sighing deeply as I slammed the door behind me. I was getting ready to go to sleep, or at least try when I saw an envelope on my desk.

"That wasn't there before," I thought.

 Who could've left it? Hizashi? No, he would've told me about it, he has a loud mouth and has trouble keeping it shut. I sighed again as I inspected it. It had my name on it.

I carefully opened it and my eyes widened. There was a letter addressed to me. The handwriting was awfully familiar to me. 

The letter read...

'Dear dad who I've adopted as such,

I'm really sorry things had to end this way, it wasn't easy. I heard about what you did, you kept your promise and placed that man where he belongs. I thank you so much for that. I hope you're not mad and if you are I'm really sorry. I was reckless and look where it's gotten the people I love and care for to. 

I hate saying goodbye, so I won't say it. Not to you, because this is not the end. It's the end of bitterness and a new future is out there to be lived. 

Thank you for always believing in me, and for everything you've done for me. Please don't be sad. One day we'll reunite. I promise. Until then, keep being the badass hero Eraserhead that you are.

Sincerely your Kiddo/problem child'

Special/Notes: (Y/N) left each person she was close to a letter.

The Preview:

Midoriya's POV

She's really polite... too much. But her expression, all this time has been distant, sad, even angry. She didn't even answer my question about liking UA. I can't help but wonder why that is. It's almost like she doesn't want to be here. 

A/n: I'll be posting more chapters later tonight, I wanna get over this angst lol 🤭💛💛 Enjoy!
