Aizawa sat in his room grading papers when he heard his door creak open. He looked up, surprised when he saw her face.

-"What are you doing up this late?" -Aizawa asked, his voice laced with concern. He put down his pen and leaned back in his chair, giving her his full attention.

-"I'm sorry sensei, I just couldn't sleep" -the albino girl says shyly, her voice was sweet and delicate almost like a melody.

Aizawa sighed, rubbing his temple while a tired expression rests on his face.

-"It's alright Kirumi, it's okay if you couldn't sleep." -He said softly, though his voice also sounded tired and he looked just as exhausted as before.- "Did you need something though?"- He asked the girl, tilting his head.

-"Oh no, I just want it some company' -her cheeks turned red.

The hero nodded, his gaze going back to the papers he was grading for a moment 

-"I see..." -He said softly before looking up from the papers and his hands- "I was grading paper but... If you want some company you're welcome to stay." -He said with a soft and tired smile.

-"Thank you sensei" -she smiles sweetly and sits in a couch that was in the office.

Aizawa nodded in response, looking at the girl and then down at his papers again as he starts grading them once more. He seems to be having difficulty keeping his eyes open and yawning occasionally, but trying to stay awake to finish grading the work he was doing. Sight .

(.. If I don't finish this today I'll probably have to deal with it on the weekend...) 

He thought to himself, trying to keep his eyes open

-"You should go to sleep" -suddenly she was behind him, causing him to jump of scare.

-"Huh?!... Kirumi...!" -Aizawa exclaimed, jumping out of his chair and turning around quickly. His eyes narrowed when he saw the girl and he looked pretty shocked by her appearance from behind.- "Please don't sneak up on me like that, it's not good for my heart." He chuckled weakly, though it seemed he was trying to smile.

-"I'm so sorry sensei, sometimes it's hard to control your quirk and even if it's of shadows and we are in the dark" -she says looking at her feet.

Aizawa waved her apology off as he slowly sat down on his chair again and put his pencil down along with his hands on the desk. 

-"If it's difficult to control, you should have it deactivated." -He said in a flat tone, though there was no trace of irritation in his voice. He paused for a moment and turned his gaze away from the student as if he was thinking about something. -"Don't worry about it, just... try not to do that again." -He said before picking his pencil up and continuing to grade the papers.

-"But seriously sensei, you should get some sleep" -she says with a worried tone.

-"I know, but..." -Aizawa stopped talking for a moment, though he sounded pretty tired and sleepy.- "...I have to get this work done." -He said, putting his pen down and rubbing his eyes.- "I'll take a nap or something tomorrow morning. Once this is down." -He said before he started grading once more.

-"I can help you, if you want to" -she says shyly.

-"...Really now?" -He said, looking back at the girl and tilting his head while raising an eyebrow- "I mean... If you're sure, then that would greatly help." -He said softly, smiling and looking genuinely surprised by her offer to help.

-"It's ok, I haven insomnia already so I can finish this while you take a nap" -she smiles softly.

Aizawa yawned and nodded. He then put his papers and pen down and turned to look at the girl.

-"I appreciate the offer, but are you sure? It's not much work left, but the paper is quite extensive so I don't know if it'll be that simple." -He said softly as he scratched the back of his head, looking at her while tired but also slightly worried if she would be able to finish his work for him within the time he was going to be asleep.

-"I'll understand it, don't worry, it doesn't look so complicated" she says trying to calm him.

Aizawa then sighed, smiling softly at the girl 

-"Alright... If you're sure then feel free to do it, I'd truly appreciate it." He said softly, his expression looking a little less tired. He then stood up and turned to look at her again            -"I'm... I'm going to go sleep then, wake me up when you're done, okay?" He said in a tired tone as he then started making his way towards the door, though he was clearly fighting the urge to sleep.

"I will sensei, don't worry" -she takes his seat and start to read the papers to comprehend them.

Aizawa leaves his office and closes the door, heading towards his room. He then walks inside, shutting the door and going straight to his bedroom before flopping down on the bed. He pulls the blanket onto himself and quickly falls asleep, snoring loudly after a while.

That night a soul could finally have a night of peace and another starts to broke
