The Fallen (Aizawa x OC)

Ch 55 - Just Once

"Please save me Shouta..."

Aizawa's eyes snap open as he takes deep breath to calm down his racing heart. When he goes to brush his hair out of his face, his hand brushes against his damp cheek. It's only then that he realizes that he had been crying in his sleep. What the hell was that? A dream? But I can't remember anything... He's lost in his thoughts until his door slams open and two small bodies jump onto his bed.

"Papa, Papa! Nii-chans and Nee-chan are back!!" Hiro says excitedly, bouncing up and down.

"They're making breakfast for the whole dorm! You should eat with us!!" Haru says with a wide smile.

Aizawa forces a smile at the two boys and pats their heads, "I'll meet you guys there after I get ready." They respond with an excited 'okay!' and run out of the room as quickly as they came in.

The moment the door shuts, Aizawa lets out a groan, his hand sliding down his face in dread. How am I even going to start explaining that Mitsu is being held by a yakuza group and most likely doesn't have her quirk anymore?...

His unease only grows when he goes out to the communal area in the dorm and everyone in 1-A is excitedly welcoming their class 0 friends back from America.

Everyone is enjoying their Saturday morning; however, Aizawa does notice that Midoriya, Uraraka, Asui, and Kirishima seem like they're not able to fully enjoy class 0's return, but they still manage to smile and laugh along with everyone else.

"Ah! Aizawa-sensei!" Koushi calls as he runs over to him with a duffel bag in his hand, "We brought a bunch of things home for Mama, is it okay if we give it to you since you guys share a dorm and she can just open it when she gets back?"

Aizawa clears his throat and stretches his hand out, "Sure, I'm sure she'll be ecstatic to have you guys here to welcome her home." It's not completely a lie, but it still leaves a bitter mouth in Aizawa's mouth as he says it.

When Koushi's hand brushes Aizawa's as he's handing off the bag, he pauses and gives the elder male a confused look, before schooling his face and smiling widely, "Thanks, you're the best Aizawa-sensei."

The ravenette simply nods in response before turning to drop off the bag in his room, but someone catches his sleeve, causing him to turn and he's slightly surprised by who he it is.

"You should eat Aizawa-sensei. Mama always says you have a bad habit of not eating actual food," Hitoka shyly holds a waffle out to him.

He looks down at the lone female out of the siblings and his eyes soften, "Thank you Hitoka, and okaeri," he says as he pats her head.

"Tadaima Papa!" Hitoka beams at him, and quickly gives him a hug before being embarrassed by what she just impulsively did and runs back to her friends with a glowing red face.

A light chuckle escapes from Aizawa's mouth before he turns to go towards his room again, munching on the waffle on the way.

He places the bag on the bed and considers opening it in case there are clothes that should be hung up. Before he can make a decision, his phone dings and he checks to see who texted him.

Pudding 🐱

Can we come to your room? Koushi said there's something we need to talk to you about. Shouto and Katsuki said they'd watch the twins. (8:56am)

Aizawa stares at his phone with furrowed brows. Who changed my contact names? And Todoroki and Bakugo actually let people call them by their given names? He kinda squints down at his phone and realizes that the person who texted him is most likely Kenma.
