Irrationality (Aizawa x reader)

Chapter Five (Revised)

Shouta is certainly not the most affectionate person, well not physically at least. He prefers to show his affection through little things.

While he was not physically affectionate, he was not opposed to receiving it; he may even enjoy it, depending on the person and his current mood.

Most of the physical intimacy was initiated by you. You would frequently hug him from behind or give him a loving touch while he worked, which would occasionally annoy him if you managed to spook him.

Unfortunately, these past few weeks has been filled with lots of hero work and late nights, which means your paths didn't cross nearly as much as you would have wanted to.

A soft sigh escaped your lips as you began to cut up some vegetables.

"You're starting late," you heard a voice murmur.

Speak of the devil...

Shouta wrapped his arms around your waist, pressing his warm chest against your back. Giving a pleasant hum in response, you set the knife aside, briefly, to take a moment to lean into him, before returning to the cutting board.

"It's only 11:00. Besides, I was prepared for you to come later."

"Mm." He leaned into you a bit more, making your task a bit harder.

The two of you stayed like that until you finished chopping up the vegetables. After placing the knife underneath the cutting board, you very awkwardly placed the vegetables into a bowl. Any further movement was prohibited by a certain scruffy man.

"Shouta, I need to move to the stove."

"Mm."

"Shouta."

Setting aside the bowl, you tried to wriggle out of his grasp to no avail. The only response you received was him picking you up. He sat down in a chair, setting you down on his lap. Squirming slightly, you tried to pull away.

"Shouta, wha-"

"Stop that." He pulled you against him.

Giving in, you huffed, feeling his scratchy chin against your cheek. After a few moments of silence, you began to gently run your fingers through his hair, causing him to sigh.

"Is everything alright?" You whispered.

"... I'm just tired..."

"Let me finish making dinner, then we can go to bed early tonight," you stated. You began to slide away from him, but he stopped you.

"Wait." he angled your body so that you were facing him.

Before you could say anything, he placed a rough, calloused hand on your chin, gently pulling it up. Giving him a small smile, you leaned forward, gently pressing your lips against his in a soft, loving kiss.

You pulled away slightly, only to press soft kisses across his face, earning a sigh from him. Once you covered his face, you hesitated over his lips, teasing him.

With a giggle, you sprung away from him. Making your way back to the stove, you attempted to hide your wide smile. It's been a while since you've been able to enjoy physical intimacy, but you wanted to make it last while you could.

"Name-"

Putting the vegetables into the pan, you interrupted him," We can continue after we eat dinner. As pro heroes, we need to take care of ourselves."
