NIGHTMARES [Aizawa Shouta/Eraserhead x Reader]

6

The pro hero immediately settled down his chalk and book and excused himself from his class. Before anyone could ask what was going on, the door went open and slammed close. Aizawa ran through the hall trying not to attract as much attention from the other classes taking place as much as possible. After a few turns, he had finally reached the lounge.

[name] was sitting on the floor, hugging herself as silent sobs escaped her lips. She was doing her best to suppress her quirk, afraid of being injected with the drug that came from her collar that would make her relish the painful sensation that would stab her in the neck.

The pro hero glided through the room and activated his quirk before any more damage could be done. He laid a hand on her shoulder, shaking her out of the immense shock. [name] looked up at Aizawa and immediately buried herself in his chest. Even though her quirk was erased, the dreadful feeling she had inside her wasn't.

Aizawa hadn't realized it but his students came following suit and had witnessed the entire thing as it unfold. He was too preoccupied with the sobbing girl in front of her to care about anyone else. He had carried [name] to the sofa on the other side of the room as the same as a groom would carry his bride.

All Might had also arrived at the scene and immediately figured out what had happened. "Everyone, please go back to your classroom", he said blocking the doorway and the sight before them.

The shorter male had glanced over to the entrance and he knew that his co-teacher could handle the rest. A slight tug on his sleeve told him that [name] was still awake.

"Why me? Why this quirk?", her question was a whisper yet still audible to his ears. "I don't understand anything... I want to know who I am... I want to know my purpose..."

His calloused hand went up to cup her tear stained cheeks. He wanted to soothe her, comfort her, calm her down... anything he could do as to not see her so broken. "Then I'll teach what you only need to know. Just stay by my side and trust me. I'll erase everything for you..."

An overwhelming warmth filled the girl's empty chest. Whatever she was feeling at the moment, she didn't care about it. For the first time in a long while, there was a slight curve on her lips—she was smiling. It was an expression she had read about but had not ever portrayed.

"Thank you"

The rest of the week had gone by smoothly and before they had realized, Monday had arrived. Because of the little mishap from [name]'s sudden outburst, All Might had no choice but to explain it to Aizawa's class but, of course, it was to remain a secret from everyone else. They had been told to treat her as a part of the class but had to be wary of their actions towards her. It was too evident that the only person [name] trusted was Aizawa but that did not mean that they could simply be casual with her even if they were in the same room.

"As you all know, there will be a new student entering Class 1-A. I'd like you all to understand that she is still adjusting so don't go beyond boundaries...", Aizawa glared at his whole class. He was dead serious wit his warning—not that he was thinking just about [name]'s welfare but also for all of his students. "Now... please enter, [name]"

The door to the classroom had opened as soon as the pro hero gave his signal. A reluctant [name] inched her way next to her guardian's side, avoiding all possible eye contact with the other people in the room. [name] was now wearing the same uniform as all the other students of U.A.—a white top with a red tie and gray skirt—which fitted her perfectly, courtesy of Midnight. Although she wasn't entirely hiding behind the man's tall presence, her hand was gently tugging the edge of his shirt.

"Introduce yourself", he instructed.

All her new classmates gave her curious looks and uneasy glares. It was all too obvious to the Erasure Hero that his students were very eager to meet [name] and that would hold possible problems for him in the future.

She looked up at him for a second before doing what she was told. Her feet strode to the side where she would be visible to her new classmates' sight. "I'm [name]... I umm... I'm 15 years old and I'm... currently living under Aizawa-san's care... Uhh... N-nice to meet you..."

There was a short silence before the room had come into an outburst. Everyone was, in a way, shouting and rejoicing about the fact that there would be another female added to their group since the majority of them was male. Other than that, all of the pro hero's students found [name] as cute to say the least. Her cautious demeanour had peeked an interest from everyone. The only thing was that their positive response was a great scare for [name].

They're always like that. Don't worry

Aizawa's brief reminder echoed through her mind. All she had to do was do as she was told and trust him. She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, letting all the unnecessary emotions out along with her unsteady breath.

The stoic man could sense her uneasiness. He had already given a lot of thought of how to handle [name] while she sat in his with rowdy class and it was time to put his logical reasoning into practice. He had let [name] sit at the back behind Yaoyorozu, his most diligent female student. Besides being a good role model for [name], she would be less likely to so anything uncalled for if she would be interacting with her. Other than that, near her was Todoroki and Tokoyami. If anything would happen—hopefully not—then the two would be the most likely to respond in a calculating and cautious manner unlike most of the class.

[name] was clenching her fists tightly, doing her best to calm her emotions down. This was her guardian's class and it was important for her to not her anyone inside his classroom. But before she could even reach halfway through the room, her trembling legs gave out on her making her fall. She waited for a hard slam on the concrete floor but there was none. The only thing she could feel was something soft yet tight wrapped around her waist.

"Just relax, [name]", was all he said before he got her back on her feet. She nodded and swiftly went straight to her seat way at the back. "Okay, then. Lets start with today's lesson"
