You found yourself in a new surrounding, where the place you laid on was soft, and the air wasn't hot and dusty...
Something wrapped around your arm, and mostly your body. It was... not that comfortable. But a sense of warmth washed over you.
Wait, doesn't this feel familiar?
As your eyes opened, a flash of light blinded your eyes, making your eyebrows furrow and your eyes narrow.
"mm.." you managed to let out a low noise, as you tried to move your fingers, or just anything at all.
There was a gaze upon you, a soft one.
"Kid?"
Hey, that voice. It's!
"zawa.." your voice didn't come out as loud as you wanted it to be. Perhaps your body was still weak, that much is clear. But that didn't stop you from getting up.
Aizawa's expression was worried, but once he saw you force yourself to move, it had some sense of relief. A little? "Careful there." he murmured, hand reaching out to help.
Instead, he was greeted with a sudden hug.
He felt your body tremble slightly, then he heard small sobs and sniffles, until your tears started to soak his shirt.
Maybe Aizawa's parent instinct kicked in, but he immediately wrapped his arms around you after.
He sighed, "I missed you too." A hand ran through your hair, comforting you.
*click*
"Aizawa! Look what I got for your worried ass-" the blonde hero was soon cut off by a loud 'shh!', and seeing what was in front of him, he smirked.
Yamada lowered his voice, walking slowly toward the table as he set down what looked like packaged food. "I'll just put it righttt here."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome," he smiled, then he made his way toward the door. "and in return, I'm taking this!" In a swift motion did Yamada's phone get taken out of his pocket, then a quick snap.
"Wh-"
Aizawa's only response was, a shocked face, before the door went shut. Then a trail of loud laughter was heard right outside, continued by sounds of nurses shushing him down.
"Sorry!"
"ugh." Aizawa groaned. But his expression turned soon soft when you shuffled in his arms. You looked up at him with teary eyes and such an innocent face. It warmed his heart so much.
Now it was his turn to smile, hand on your face as his thumb wiped your tears off.
Is this real?...
Not a dream, right?
No... not dream.

*nom*
"Yeah, you hold it like this, then you put it in your mouth." his hand firmly gripped yours, as he helped guide you on how to use... a spoon. You enjoyed it, your wagging tail making it obvious.
Not the guiding... just, the food.
These were taken here originally for Aizawa, but since he saw how skinny you were compared to last time, he let you eat first.
Though, he was still eating a few scoops from time to time.
"Okay, now you try."
His hand slowly let go of yours, and he nodded his head to give you some sort of encouragement.
Looking at the spoon, you tilted your head. You held onto the spoon tightly, hand shaking as you slowly tried to scoop some food.
To have tasty food!
*nom*
You chewed it with such content, as if you were in heaven. That's right, food is everything for you in this moment.
After that, you started to scoop more, stuffing as much as you can into your mouth.
Because... it's nice.
He looked at you with widened eyes, "Slow down.." he muttered. The last thing he wanted was for you to choke, then afterwards you'd have some kind of fear towards it. That was just a thought.
"zawa want?..." you suddenly asked, holding up the spoon towards him.
"It's okay, you can eat first." he answered, wiping off rice from the corners of your mouth.
"why"
"Because I'm not hungry."
"hmm.. no lie?"
He simply chuckled. "Lie? I'm not lying to you kiddo. Go on." he then ruffled your hair, and silence began to set in. Only sounds of utensils and bowls clanking together.
It wasn't too bad.
You both enjoyed each other's company.
—————————
"I'm not going to leave you..."
Night had came by so fast, and that is where your fear started. You were afraid you'd go missing once again when you were caught off guard. That meant to you that you'd be alone once again.
You clung onto Aizawa's arm tightly. Thinking even if there was one slim chance you get taken away, he'd be with you.
It's that bad huh?
"No leaf.." you repeated, looking at him with saddened eyes, which made Aizawa let out another sigh.
"I won't leave Kiogo*, I promise. Not lying, either."
"promise..?"
"Yes, promise."
"rilly.."
"Really."
Was that really enough to convince you? Luckily for him, it was.
He gave you a pat on the head, then tucked you in.
"Goodnight, kid."
"niihht?"
And now I'm back.
The silence was deafening, the room was dark. And what was left for him to take care of, was his own thoughts.
He sat there in guilt.
