Be My Valentine - A short Eraserjoke story

Be My Valentine💌 Pt. 2 - END

Aizawa woke up from his alarm clock, clearly very tired after being on patrol until 2AM and grading papers until 3:00AM. He looked at his phone.
6:30AM
February 14th, 22**
Aizawa chuckled to himself.

'Wonder how many lovebirds there will be today at UA. All students and non-students go crazy over Valentine's. I don't understand what's so exciting about it.'

Aizawa thought to himself. Well.. The reason he most likely never understood Valentine's day could be because instead of cancelling quirks, he also cancels feelings. He sees the feeling of love as irrational.. Unprofessional.. Distracting.. A.. waste of time.. He sees the feeling of love as something dangerous, strings that get attached to you, you get tangled up and then it's impossible to get untangled. You are scared that your loved one might get in danger at any time so you protect them at all costs, and you.. Get. Distracted..

Aizawa got up and brushed the <<Stupid>> thought of Valentine's day off his mind and got up to get ready. He put his hero costume with his binding cloth on and went out of his room and to the kitchen to make himself some coffee. Like always, he would see tired Hizashi and tired Nemuri, dozing off at the kitchen table.

"Good morning sleepyheads." Aizawa said sarcastically but with his classic, dull face.

"Look who's talking.. Anyway.. I slept only for 5 hours so don't talk to me." Nemuri said in an jokingly annoyed voice while pouting.

"Same.." Hizashi replied with his head laying on the table.

"Well you guys sure are whiny.. I slept for almost 3 hours.." Aizawa replied to them.

Nemuri and Hizashi looked at him in a dramatic disbelief like they always did every morning. But it wasn't so dramatic.. It was like Aizawa's sleeping hours were decreasing each time he talked to them. While the mood was jokingly dramatic, Nemuri couldn't help but reveal a worried face which was noticed by Aizawa.

"What's wrong, Kayama?" Aizawa questioned.

"A while ago you told us you also slept 5 hours.. After you said 4 hours.. Last time you said 3 hours and now.. Almost 3 hours? Are you sure you're gonna be alright? We can handle some patrols and papers if you really need help, you know you can count on us any time, right?" Nemuri replied worryingly to Aizawa. Aizawa also noticed Hizashi nodding in agreement to Nemuri.

"I am thankful to both of you for caring but.. I'm gonna be okay. It's not permanent anyways. Some heroes needed a break more than I did so I took their place and that's why the patrolling hours got extended." Aizawa explained to them.

Hizashi and Nemuri looked at each other. They really couldn't believe Aizawa would do something like that. But it seems even though they were friends since highschool, they still hadn't seen Aizawa's kind heart that hid behind each black colour that he had on him. Someone else had noticed it though..

A moment of silence passed.

"OH! GUYS! IT IS VALENTINE'S DAAAAYYYYYY!" Hizashi jumped excitedly.

"OH THAT'S RIGHT!" Nemuri replied.

'Please don't start with this please don't start with this please don't start with this please don't start with this please don't start with this please don't start with this please don't start with th-'

"Ooooooohhhb Aizawaaaaaaaaaaa.........." Nemuri began teasingly.

"Are you going to ask S O M E O N E to be your Valentineeeeeeeeee?" Hizashi joined.
