You were sitting on your bed, a pile of pills in your hand, when there was a knock on your bedroom door. You scrambled to hide the pills under your pillow, but a few of them fell on the floor next to the bed.

"Hey sweetie, how are you doing?"

"I'm fine, Auntie Kayama. What are you doing here?" you said as nonchalantly as you could.

"Your dad sent me to check in on you, since he's gonna be late again tonight" Kayama said.

"No offense but why does he suddenly think I need a babysitter?"

"He's worried about you... we all are" Kayama said, as she sat down on the chair that was by your school desk.

"You really don't need to be, I'm fine" you said, looking down at your feet, now noticing the fallen pills.

Kayama followed your gaze down to the floor, now also taking note of the few tablets that were laying on the floor.

"What's this?" she asked, leaning down and picking up one of the pills.

"Oh, I must have dropped it while taking my meds earlier" you shrugged, evading direct eye contact with her.

"Honey, I know a lie when I hear one" Kayama looked at you compassionately.

You sighed in defeat and lifted the pillow to reveal the pile of pills. You weren't even sure why you did that, maybe you just wanted her to talk you out of it.

Kayama had heard about what was going on with you from Aizawa. You'd been hurting yourself and acting in a self-destructive manner otherwise too, so your father had been worried about you. They'd agreed that you might have an easier time talking to Kayama, since you'd been so distant with your father lately. She never would have thought her timing would be this on point though.

"Oh sweetie" Kayama said, and moved to sit next to you on the edge of the bed. "Come here" she continued as she opened her arms to hug you.

You leaned against her and let her wrap her arms around you.

"Do you want to talk about it?" she asked as she rubbed your upper arm.

"Honestly, I don't really know. I just don't want to bother anyone, I'm enough of a burden already"

"You're not a burden honey, and you're not bothering your dad, or me, by talking to us. You can call me anytime if you need someone to talk to, I'd much rather you call me at three in the morning than you hurt yourself" she smiled sympathetically.

Kayama talked with you for a while, and you cleaned the pills off the bed before turning in for the night. She sat in the kitchen with a cup of tea until Aizawa came back. She'd barely drunk any of it, she just sat there, thinking, with the warm cup in her hands. She'd known you since you were just a baby, and you were like family to her. How did it end up like this? She knew Aizawa was a wonderful father, even if a very busy one. Kayama snapped out of her thoughts when she heard the front door open and close.

"Hi" she greeted Aizawa quietly as he walked into the kitchen.

"So, how did it go?" Aizawa whispered as he sat down on one of the kitchen chairs, opposite of Kayama.

"We talked, they definitely need some help, and I don't know if we're enough. They were considering trying to kill themself, and I'm pretty sure they would have attempted it if I didn't happen to come by, but I think it's safe for now. At least I really hope so"

"I knew they were having a really hard time lately, but I was hoping it hadn't gone this far" Aizawa sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.

It's not like he was angry with you, he was just extremely worried about you. No parent wants their child to be in pain. It was his job you keep you safe, but how could he when the danger was your own brain? He would just have to be patient, walk alongside you wherever you were going to go, and help you pick up the pieces when you were ready. There was nothing he wanted more than for you to be happy and healthy.

"What am I going to do Kayama? How do I talk to them about this?" Aizawa asked.

"I think it's best to just be honest. Tell them you're worried and that you love them. They were worried about being a burden, especially to you"

"I wish they didn't think that, they're not a burden, they're my kid" Aizawa sighed.

This was his first time raising a kid, at least one of his own. He had seen all kinds of teenagers pass through his class, so knew it wasn't going to be a walk in the park. There was not a single parent on the planet that knew everything their kid was up to, but he just wished he had intervened earlier, maybe he could have stopped things from snowballing to this extent.

"It's going to be okay, Aizawa. I know things are not going to change overnight, but with a dad like you, I'm sure they're going to make it through this" Kayama said.

"Thank you, Kayama" Aizawa smiled tiredly.

"I need to head home now, just keep an eye on them and talk to them, but most importantly, listen" she emphasized the last word.

"Good night, get home safe" Aizawa said, hugging his friend goodbye.

"Take care" she waved as she walked out into the night.

Kayama was like family to Aizawa and to you as well, and he was just glad you'd been able to open up to her. He just hoped it would give you the motivation to start talking to him as well. It's not that you didn't talk, maybe he just didn't know how to ask the right questions, but he certainly wanted to learn. For you, he was willing to do anything, for you, his only child he would go to hell and back, especially so you wouldn't have to.
