Aizawa woke up, his hair was messy and his face looked rather sleepy. He got up from his bed and stretched, groaning softly when a pain in his leg made him wince. He then looked up and saw her face. -"...Kirumi?"- He said softly, his eyes opening.

-"Good morning sensei, how do you sleep?" -she says sweetly her face was a little pale.

Aizawa yawned and smiled at the girl as they made their way to the office-"...I slept somewhat well, thank you. And... I suppose you were able to finish my work?" -He asked, though the answer was obvious since the papers on the table in front of him were already graded.

-"Yes sensei, and I make more papers that you had pending" -she says shyly looking to the ground.

Aizawa tilted his head, staring at the girl with a look of surprise and confusion 

-"...H-Huh?... More papers? Where did you find the time to do that?" -He said with an amused tone. He couldn't help but be impressed by the girl's dedication and the fact that she wanted to help him-  "I mean... I'm not complaining, but still..." -He said softly after a brief thought.

-"Oh" -she blushes and don't move her eyes from the ground- "I couldn't sleep all night so I made it all, since I have finished all my homework".

Aizawa chuckled, finding her to be rather adorable while also impressed by the dedication she had.

-"I... Wow, that's a lot of work to do just because you couldn't sleep. Thank you, really. But... you didn't have to do these papers as well..." -He said softly and with appreciation, looking at the girl while also feeling slightly guilty that she made even more than he asked for. His expression was a mix of emotions, he was thankful but his guilt also grew stronger. Not only did he feel bad because she worked so much, but because his papers kept piling up.

-"It's ok sensei, I love to help" -she smiles adorably, smile that did not reach the eyes.

Aizawa sighed, though it sounded soft and content. -"Don't work too hard for me, then." -He said softly, his smile looking more genuine and appreciative.He then turned to look at the papers -"...If you don't mind, I'll check these now." -He said before picking up the stack of papers and starting to go through them one by one, marking the appropriate grades.

-"Of course, I'm sorry if it's any mistake" -she says shyly.

Aizawa nodded and began to read through them, his expression changing. He had a neutral expression while going through most of them, but when he realized there was a student who's work was of great quality, his expression turned from neutral to surprise. As if he couldn't believe it -"This... Is really good. Kirumi, did you do this?" -He asked, his tone of voice sounding both as a compliment and like he was still surprised that the work was so good.

-"Yeah" -she nods softly.

Aizawa was stunned, but that stunned expression quickly changed to that of a smile -"You did an excellent job, Kirumi. This is some amazing work."- He said softly.

He then looked back at the other papers and started to grade them, though these ones had more mistakes. He didn't seem mad or disappointed, just slightly tired.

-"By the way sensei" -she says shyly.

Aizawa looked at the girl, waiting for her to continue 

-"Yes, Kirumi?" He asked softly.

-"I make some breakfast, and I thought since you were so tired I made you some too" -her cheeks were totally red, she's looking at the ground hiding her blush with her white hair.

Aizawa was slightly stunned, not expecting the girl to be so considerate. He also noticed her blushing face, though he didn't comment on it -"I... Thank you Kirumi, but I don't want to make you go out of your way for me..." -He said softly. He put down the papers and looked back at her. -"I-I appreciate it though, you really didn't have to."

-"It's ok, I can package it with the rest and give it to the people in need" -she smiles sadly.

Aizawa raised his eyebrows 

-"..You made food for other people as well?" -He asked softly. This was certainly surprising, but mostly for the fact that the sweet and shy girl would be able to make enough food for herself and to give to other people. She was truly a kind soul.

"Oh yeah, the weekends I go to orphanages or to the poor alleys to give some food to the people in need or to the animals" -she says, almost nostalgic.

Aizawa paused, his eyes looking at the girl with a mix of surprise and admiration -"...I'm impressed, Kirumi. That's... That's a very kind thing to do" -He said softly, smiling. His eyes were also filled with a sort of sadness, as he thought about the fact that some people are forced into such situations. The hero kept silent for a moment, until he finally talked again. -"... I'm proud of you." He said softly and with a reassuring smile on his face.

-"It's nothing sensei, it's at least thing I can do for those poor living creatures" -she smiles.

-Aizawa thought about it for a moment, before talking again.- "No, it isn't nothing. It's a kind and thoughtful thing to do." -He said softly, looking at the girl with admiration. He stayed silent for a moment, before smiling again -"I'm thankful to have a student like you." -He said softly, his tone of voice genuine and caring.

-"Yeah... a student..." -she looks sad -"Thank you sensei" -but she tried to force an smile.

Aizawa stayed silent for a moment before he spoke again. He wanted to believe the girl, but he felt like the sadness he was seeing on her face was genuine.

-"...You don't have to hide anything from me. If there is anything wrong, know that I'm here to help." -He said, sounding soft and worried but also sincere. The hero didn't want to put any pressure on the girl, but he couldn't help but worry about her.

-"T-thank you sensei, but nothing is happening" -her eyes were filled of unfallen tears, and she smiles again.

Aizawa sighed softly. -"Kirumi, I don't think I can believe you right now. I understand that you might not want to tell me, but I don't like seeing you sad or feeling down. It pains me to see you like that." -He said gently, hoping that she would open up and tell him what was happening. The tired tone of voice was slowly turning into concern. He just wanted to help her.

-I'll let you a cup of coffee on the principal table, I know how you love coffee sensei" -she changes the topic and turn around to left the office.

Aizawa seemed confused by the sudden change of topic, but he chose to not comment on it. He could tell that a something was bothering her, but she probably didn't want to talk about it.

-"I... appreciate it, Kirumi." -He said softly. The hero then stayed silent, watching her leave the office. He still looked worried, even if he knew she didn't want to talk about what was bothering her.

Kirumi left the dorms and the campus to go to a poor section of the city to give the people the food she made.
