All Might x Student!Reader (Boku no Hero Academia)

Chapter 55

As you scanned the crowd, your eyes suddenly caught sight of him, standing tall and proud amidst a sea of people. The air was thick with excitement and anticipation as journalists and curious fans jostled for position, trying to get a closer look and hear every word he spoke. All Might's presence seemed to electrify the atmosphere, drawing everyone's attention to him like a magnet. Despite the chaos around him, he looked calm and confident, as if he were entirely in control of the situation.

In your strange way, you even understood those people surrounding the man before you. In the past, you would likely find yourself standing alone among the group of people that you were currently looking at, trying to get his attention.

However, things have changed for you, and all you could do was watch silently as Aizawa tried to navigate through the crowd of bystanders, police, and journalists - as more people arrived, it became increasingly difficult to see anything. A soft sigh escaped your lips as you shifted your gaze toward the dark and gloomy sky, hoping for a glimmer of sunshine to break through the thick clouds and brighten the day.

But all you saw was tiny droplets of water falling on your face.

You shivered.

You gave Aizawa his jacket back despite his protests and attempts to tell you to keep it. It sure was cold; now that jacket he had tried to force on you didn't seem like such a bad idea. You felt compelled to stand your ground despite knowing that it was irrational. You couldn't bear the thought of the man you were head over heels in love with seeing you dressed in someone else's attire. It may seem trivial, but it was... actually... very important to you at that moment. Suprisingly.... Ignoring all circumstances...

Even now, in the situation you were currently in, you seemed to be preoccupied with insignificant and childish details. It's a pity that you only became aware of the absurdity of your reasoning when your body started shaking uncontrollably as if the ground beneath you was experiencing an earthquake. To make things worse, the chill in the air was so intense that your fingers began to turn a shade of blue. You stepped back a little deeper into the alley, fearing that the policeman from earlier was definitely looking for you and that he could spot you at any moment. Still, you felt that All Might's presence had distracted that guy from your disappearance for some reason.

Everyone was so focused on him.

And so were you.

As you looked on, Aizawa abruptly stopped before him and made him lean in to whisper something into his ear. You noticed that the people around were craning their necks in an attempt to catch a snippet of the conversation but to no avail. All Might suddenly looked up and began scanning the area as if searching for something, and you knew exactly what that something was - he was looking for you. A nauseating sensation swept over you as you recalled the final words that had escaped your lips the last time you were in his presence. Although you may not have spoken them loudly, their implications were very obvious to him. And although you did not witness his immediate reaction, you could sense the weight and intensity of the impact those words likely had on him. Sometimes you really wished you could hold your tongue.

As you felt your mind being invaded by unwelcome thoughts, you shook your head rapidly as if trying to physically shake them off. You knew that your actions would have consequences, but you pushed that thought to the back of your mind. Instead, you focused on the task at hand, knowing that you couldn't afford to be distracted any longer.

As your eyes met, you felt a sudden rush of warmth despite the coldness around you. A small smile tugged at the corners of your lips as you tried to suppress the butterflies in your stomach, which seemed to be doing a wild dance. The electric sensation that ran through your body at that moment was both exhilarating and unnerving, as you couldn't quite understand why this person had such an effect on you.
