(Dadzawa) Aizawa Shouta x Female!Student!Reader

Something

Heroes are amazing people. They fight without a second thought in order to save a single life, taking the risk of losing their own. It was admirable. It was everything you wanted to be but you weren’t.

You fully believe that you would never be able to do that. Your quirk is a simple speed quirk. The more energy you have, the faster you can move. It could be handy yeah, but to you, it was rather bland. Not only that but you felt as if you were weak in comparison to the rest of your class. It felt that whenever you made progress that you were somehow still left behind in the dust.

It didn’t help that your current way of thinking always brought you down. You didn’t know how to fix that. You honestly thought the negative thoughts you have about yourself, were true. Why else would you not be making progress?

Overall, it was starting to get annoying and when everyone moved into the dorms your way of thinking got worse. Yes, you started to train harder and better especially with Todoroki and Shinsou (per Aizawa’s request) and it looked like you were improving but those thoughts always lingered.

What was the point if you were simply going to get left behind again? 

What was the point if you wouldn’t be a good enough hero?

What was the point when you wouldn’t be good enough in general?

…What was the point?

This way of thinking is how you currently got into this mess. The mess containing your social life ever so slowly falling apart. You were losing interest in most of the things you used to love and jump at the thought of doing. Your grades were slowly declining and it all just felt horrible.

Despite how slowly this happened, you kept up the façade of being your old self. It took a lot of energy out of you and most definitely showed in any performance with your quirk but no one noticed and that was all good in your book.

At least you believed no one noticed. Todoroki noticed your performance in training with him was deteriorating. It baffled him since the poor boy didn’t know how to bring it up without making it weird. He had thought the two of you were close so he waited a while to see if you would bring it up and when you didn’t he grew concerned.

Instead, he grew curious and went to Shinsou. Since both of them trained with you, Todoroki wanted to know if your performance was only declining with him. Turns out it wasn’t just him. Shinsou who wasn’t that close to you but was still worried told Todoroki that he would bring it up with Aizawa.

So he did just that.

Exhausted eyes stare at your form in the class. Aizawa allowed the class a ten-minute break so the majority of them left to go wander the halls or refuel with drinks and snacks with the vending machines. His eyes narrow down slightly as he goes over what he’s noticed from the prior weeks.

You would always jump at the opportunity to wander with your friends or the Bakusquad in the halls during this time but now you were staring out the window in an almost dazed like fashion. When asked about it your answer was not getting enough sleep and your peers were able to confirm this by him since moving into the dorms.

The other teachers shared with him about your new failing grades. This honestly surprised the grumpy man since you are doing well in his class. Well, was. He took notice that your grade in his class started to slip recently. It surprised him.

This and watching your behavior compared to the start of the year made him have a few assumptions. Those assumptions were confirmed when Shinsou told him his concerns over one of their training sessions yesterday.
