"Because of Me" [Aizawa x Reader]

Chapter 11

"[Y/N]! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?"

"I-I don't know!"

"YOU HAVE SOME EXPLAINING TO DO AFTER I COME BACK FROM THE HOSPITAL WITH YOUR MOM."

Slam.

I just stood there, frozen, not knowing what to do. I just watched as my dad picked up my mom and slammed the front door close.

I later discovered my quirk. I tested it on small animals. Most of them ended up dying somehow when I tried to deactivate my quirk.

Ring Ring

I ran to the phone and quickly put it to my ear.

"Hello?" I asked nervously, seeing that the call was from my dad.

"Your mother is dead."

Silence.

I didn't know how to react at the time, but I swore I said ten million "sorry"s inside my heart.

A few years later, when I was 16, I was, of course, homeschooled. My father came to me to introduce...you." you stared up at Aizawa.

You continued to speak before he could say anything.

"He wanted you to help me learn how to control my possession quirk. However, I couldn't. I knew it wouldn't work. Many others had already tried, but none of them wanted to work with me any longer after knowing about my situation. But with your help, I discovered that I would faint after trying to switch back whenever I possess someone for more than one minute. And with that, I gave up and decided to put my quirk away and never use it again."

"I'm sorry."

"Huh?"

"I'm sorry for digging all this information out of you. It must have been hard. I probably shouldn't have asked. It was never my business in the first place." You were surprised to see the emotionless and tired man apologize to you.

"N-No, it's fine. I actually feel better after finally sharing this with someone. I've never actually told anyone else about this so I guess I'm sort of..relieved?" it was true, you didn't feel as uncomfortable as you thought you would have sharing this with Aizawa.

You looked up into the sky. You didn't even realize how dark it was getting.

"It's late, I should probably go home," you said while smiling awkwardly. You waved at Aizawa and started walking out of the schoolyard.

"Wait," you stopped as his voice spoke to you from behind. "Let me walk you home."

"W-What? There's no need," you could feel your face heating up quite suddenly.

"No, it's not safe in the night," Aizawa insisted.

"O-Okay, if it's not a problem with you." you felt strangely happy for some reason as Aizawa walked alongside you out of the school.

The two of you walked in silence on the way to your house. It was silence as in an awkward silence, but more of a serene and peaceful silence. You haven't felt this at peace in a long time.

(Y'all know what time it is. Yup, it's perspective switching time :,D
WARNING: prepare for extreme cringe :))

Aizawa's P.O.V

You tried to keep a straight face as you walked with [Y/N] but then realized that your face was covered in bandages so it didn't really matter. You would occasionally glance over to [Y/N]'s direction and find that she, too, was staring at you.

The good thing about the bandages that covered your face was that she couldn't tell your face turning a slightly rose-pink color. You didn't know why, maybe because you always walked alone, but you felt happy walking with someone. The only person you really walked with sometimes was Yamada. But when you did walk with him, there wouldn't be such a quiet and peaceful environment. You smiled slightly to yourself. This isn't so bad.

You glanced over once more at [Y/N] and noticed that she was staring up at you. Her face was filled with sorrow, probably from thinking about her quirk, you guessed. You wanted to cheer her up but you didn't know how.

"What is it?" you suddenly said, breaking the silence.

Reader's P.O.V

"What is it?" you immediately glanced away from Aizawa as he suddenly turned towards you. He probably noticed me staring, dammit.

"Nothing," you replied, trying to seem calm. You always admired how Aizawa's face showed no emotion whatsoever even at extreme situations.

"If you say so," Aizawa replied and looked away from you. You sighed in relief quietly.

After walking in silence for a few more minutes, you finally reached your house.

"We're here," you said quietly while pausing. "Thanks for walking me home."

"No problem. Can I ask for a favor?"

"Sure," you responded and wondered what the favor was.

"Can I stay here for the night? You were right, it was getting pretty dark."

Your eyes shot open wide as you stared at Aizawa, speechless. A million dirty thoughts flew across your mind, making your face turn red, but you quickly shook them away.

"W-What? For real? I-I mean sure but—

"No, I was joking."

"Huh?!" you wanted to sink into the ground. Of course he was.

"Sorry, I was trying to cheer you up. I'm bad at those things."

"O-Oh," you let out a small laugh. "Thanks, it worked."

"Goodnight," Aizawa waved a lazy hand in the air and turned around to walk away. You could have sworn there was some sort of tease and joy in his voice.

End.
