By Your Side // Aizawa Shota X Reader

66

Your eyes flashed open in an instant and what was before you, was the familiar sight of your bedroom's ceiling. With an energetic move, you jolted forward to jump out of bed and went straight to your bathroom. Only when you were in front of the mirror did you notice some stains on your face. Stains that trailed from your eyes to your ears. But you didn't think much of it and splashed the running water from the sink onto your face, removing all the traces from your features.
After freshening up and changing your attire to your school uniform, you nuzzled your face into Kuro's fur who was still sleeping in his basket.
Once you lifted your head, a smile had plastered on your face and with the closing of your door, you were on the way to the first floor.

Even though you had been pretty energetic this morning, your expression was now stoic during your time in school. But your mind was the opposite of what your face was showing. As you were sitting on your seat during lessons, your eyes were continuously flicking to the clock and you were counting down the time it took for each lesson to end, along with each move of the hands. When the last lesson of the day came, your home room teacher entered the room and started the lesson without any delay. Ever since he arrived, you could only stare at him, your lips raised into a small smile.

The bell rang and with it, the last lesson of the day had ended for your class. Your homeroom teacher, with whom you had had your last lesson, stayed behind and seemed to organize some papers on the teacher's desk. You were also exiting the classroom but in the middle of the way, you stopped and turned on your heel. With the excuse of having forgotten something in the classroom, you returned to the said room. In front of the door, you first looked both ways and made sure that no one was in sight before you put your hand on the door handle and opened the huge door that was at least four times as tall as you.

You closed the door behind you and looked over at the person standing at the teacher's desk. Of course, he had noticed your presence and turned his entire body to face you, laying down the papers on the desk he had been holding in his hands. He didn't utter a single word and you were also not saying anything as you started toward him with your head slightly hanging low and your eyes on the floor, watching your steps. With each step, you closed the distance between you two until he was at your arm's length.

"Aizawa-sensei..." Hearing yourself addressing him like that now, sounded weird in your ears. But you just continued. "There's something I have to tell you..." This was, what you said but you showed no signs of talking anymore as you fell silent right after that.

You had been calm when you had talked to him but it was now a different story as your heart rate slightly picked up in speed. Then you started to make a move. You swiftly grabbed him by his collar and pulled him down to your height. Your faces drew closer until you locked your lips on his.
Given his tensed up body, he appeared shocked at first. But it wasn't long before you felt one of his arms wrapping around your waist to push you against him, making the little space that was there non-existent. And as if it wasn't enough for him, he also leaned in to deepen the kiss. By instinct, your grip on his clothes loosened and your hands moved up to put them around his neck.
It was only a short session but each of you felt the bottled-up longing you had had for each other and finally released it by the intimate act. Even after your lips had long parted, the distance between you two did not grow as you remained close to each other in a hug.
Shota laughed softly against your shoulder, his warm breath gently stirring your hair. "I'm so sorry for everything. It must've been hard for you..." you whispered as your fingers hooked into his clothes. While you were nuzzling your face onto his chest, he softly stroked your hair. His voice was a bit shaky when he spoke. "Yes. It was terrible for me. When you were in a coma... You can't imagine how terrified I was by the thought of you never waking up. And when you finally did..., " he made a long pause, "I can't describe how much I wanted to hold you like this. I had to hold back the urge to even get near you or else I would have scared you away... " His face darkened as those unpleasant memories came to mind and you could feel how emotional he felt right now because he was holding you so tight. So you raised your palm and began to pat him on his head. Your pats slowly turned to strokes until your fingers were completely entangled in his black locks, making his frown melt away and his muscles relax. "It's all right. I'm back now." you crooned and smiled at him.

"By the way, how did your memories come back?" You couldn't answer this question seeing how you weren't sure how it came to it yourself. All you could say was, "Well, I'm not sure myself but I think I had a dream last night. Also, I kept regaining pieces of my memories from time to time. And this morning, I felt like I've never even lost my memories."
Shota continued to look at you with a smile on his face, his gaze unwavering as he was sitting right across from your table. Shota held your hand so tight as if he never wanted to let go of it. His expression was so soft that you couldn't help but stare back at his endearing face and your expression mirrored that of his'.
You two played this moment again and again, until...

"Now that you remember, you have to catch up on all the lessons you've missed. I noticed that you weren't focused on any of my lessons at all. And it's probably the same for the other ones." All you could do was stare at him in disbelief as his tone of voice and expression changed drastically. "You're joking, right?" But seeing his sudden change in expression from soft to kind of stern, you knew very well that he wasn't playing any tricks at all. So you let out a depressed sigh and proceeded with taking out your books and textbooks to start your studying session.

After a while, you let out a fake sniffle and pretended to wipe away some non-existent tears from your eyes with your finger as you snivelled, "To think that you'd treat me, your girlfriend, like this after I finally regained my memories..."
All of a sudden he cradled your face in his hands, only to lean in with his face until you could just look him straight in the eye since he was way too close. Moments later, your view changed to his signature weapon around his neck until your face sank into it since he was drawing in even closer.
Before you could even ask what he was doing, you could feel him press his warm lips against your skin. He had kissed you on your forehead.
And just as you were able to react to it, he began to plant little kisses on the tip of your nose, cheek and finally a light kiss on your lips. When he had done this, it was as if you had been petrified and hadn't moved until he drew back and you could properly look at him again. "Come on (Y/N). You also know that this is the best for you." He now seemed to think about something real fast before he spoke again. "After we're done with everything, I'll treat you to something delicious, all right?" His shower of kisses just now had made you daydream a little and when you snapped out of it and concentrated on what he had said, you quickly answered him after processing his words. "Fine, but it has to be something reeeeeeaaallly tasty." You looked at him and he stared back with nothing but his love for you written all over his face. This little encouragement from him strengthened the small fire of will inside of you and you couldn't help but get tempted by it. But more than anything, it was that you got to spend more time with Shota again, that made you feel all warm inside. And just like that, you somehow managed to get through this extra lesson.

When you had finally caught up to everything, you almost threw your books into your bag with a little too much force and happily grinned at the thought of what was to come now. But before that, you had to change your clothes to not get noticed by others because walking through the streets in the uniform of a well-known hero school would draw some unwanted attention.

So back at the dorm, you told your classmates that you were going to dine out today. And you added a little lie to it, namely that you were going to eat out with your aunt. As you raced to your room, you changed your attire to something more casual, meaning a simple t-shirt and jeans.
But upon reaching your door to leave, you stopped and thought for a bit.
This could be seen as a special occasion since you had finally regained your memories and you couldn't say that your boyfriend wasn't happy with it. "So should I dress up a little?"
You took the 'little' part by its word and decided to wear a long and flowy, black dress shirt that ended mid-thigh. A black ribbon was tied around your hips, showing off your curves. You also wore shorts of the same colour as the dress shirt, but it couldn't be seen, as the dress-like dress shirt completely covered it. Also, black heels were on your feet, completing the look. All you took with you was a handbag with the matching colour of your clothes with it containing your phone, wallet, the keys to the dorm and your room and you were ready to go now.
