Chapter 31~

AIZAWA's POV

Shit I had lost track of time.

The communal bath was addictive and distracting, leading me to forget all sense of time.

Around an hour passed.

I'm such a jerk, letting Y/N exhaust herself while l lazy around is just down right immoral.

I stomped down the halls, adjusting my hair into a ponytail with a hair tie that Y/N had lent me.

As I reached for my door knob and opened the door, I fully expected a tired looking Y/N, struggling to grade the exams at this late hour. Instead I was met with her sleeping frame, more precisely, her sleeping body on my office chair.

I got closer to her and noticed the previously unfinished pile of exams all graded.

I sighed.

She's truly amazing. Her kindness and commitment, the way her mouth scrunches up whenever a move isn't going her way, the way she's so stubborn and reckless, or the way she was sleeping right now, so peacefully.

Her mouth slightly parted, and a few strands covering her face.

I shouldn't touch her, I know I shouldn't, for her good as well as my own, but the way her body contorts uncomfortably to fit the angle of the chair made my arms move forward on their own.

This position brought unpleasant memories of her bloodied body, my hand under her thighs and her back, except this time she was safe, healthy.

Should I take her to her room?

I look down to her sleeping eyes, as if to search for an answer.

I'll just lay her down here, it's not like I have the keys to her dorm.

Gently my arms started unwrapping themselves from her as she laid on my bed.

I reached for a blanket at the end of the mattress  and draped it over her.

I returned to my desk sitting in the now unoccupied chair.

Since she did most of the work, all I really have to do is input the grades.
———
As I spent my time plugging in the grades into each of the students' accounts, a sudden message popped on the IPad near the door.

"HEY ERASERHEAD,YOUR STUDENTS ARE LOITERING AT GROUND BETA, YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR GROUNDING THEM UP." The robotic voice kept repeating.

The fuck-

I turned to the sound of Y/N shuffling, and quickly headed to the screen to shut it down.

"...YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR GROUNDING THE-"

Tcht, are you kidding me?

I leave the room, closing the door gently and hurrying toward the exit of the dorms.

" who would be stupid enough to sneak out..." i murmur to myself as I come face to face with All Might, hand spread wide.

"To fight the night you finished the preliminary hero licensing exam" I begin clenching my scarf further. "I'm glad to see that you two have so much energy." I grit out of my teeth.

"Aizawa wait, hold up with those restraints! It's my fault they sparred in the first place." He walked closer, whispering in my ear " it was caused by me, the failure of his teacher, the kid's been blaming himself for my retirement, to have gone through the licensing exam with it with his personality must've been incredibly hard."

"I understand that, but rules must be set." I grit through my teeth controlling my anger. "Who threw the first punch?" I asked angrily.

"I did." Bakugo responded rolling his eyes.

"It wasn't just him, I also went pretty hard." Midoriya said looking down.

I pointed my finger at them letting go of my scarf abruptly. "You're both on house arrest, 4 day for Bakugo and 3 for Midoriya, during that time you'll clean all the common areas in the dorms, morning and night, plus I want a written apology!" I screamed. "If your injuries need to be checked out head to the infirmary, but don't rely on Y/N's  quirk! Figure out a way to heal yourselves!"

I sigh, as All Might thanked me profusely , then I just head back to the teacher dorms.

Surprisingly, Y/N was still sleeping soundly.

I searched for my yellow sleeping bag in the corner of the room and tucked myself in it, drifting into a dreamless sleep.
