"me, looking down at my 20 erasermic fics, my mostly-erasermic centric meme blog, and my mostly erasermic twitter: idk anon. DO i ship erasermic?
haha, joking aside, anon, why I ship erasermic is 90% due to aizawa's personality and i'll explain why in a sec.

aizawa is not the friendliest person. aizawa does not react extremely well to friendly persons, prime examples being all might and ms. joke, who fit into this mold of LOUD ENTHUSIASTIC LETS-BE-FRIENDS HERO!

aizawa initially rejects all might's friendlier advances until they start warming up to each other (i mean, when he starts warming up to Toshinori Yagi. i don't think he ever quite warmed up to all might.) and he flat-out refuses every advance of ms. joke's, though that may be not because it was friendly advances but like, Aggressively Romantic advances.

so from that, we can gather–aizawa doesn't do people, and he ESPECIALLY does not do people who are loud and extroverted and hyperactive.

except mic.

aizawa reacts somewhat differently to mic than he does others–sure, there's his typical deadpan remarks to contrast mic's YELLING but he puts up with and gets along with mic and TRUSTS him–

*his desk is right next to mic's
*he goes out drinking, frequently, with mic, and attempts to leave the moment someone else tags along
*initially protests commentating the sports festival, which is typical of him, but he gives up rather quickly even though later on we're shown he can and WILL protest against things he doesn't like (constantly rejecting ms. joke basically every other word she speaks)
*(from illegals, which is not written by horikoshi himself, but horikoshi reads the chapters and green-lights them so this maybe has some merit) aizawa and mic have been in contact for years–it wasn't a case of 'we were classmates' and then 'hey, haven't seen you in a while, we're co-workers now'. it was 'we were classmates and we graduated but we're still friends and talk to each other and now we're coworkers'.
*(also from illegals) apparently if u want to know where mic is u gotta ask aizawa bc He Knows
-mic gave aizawa his hero name, which aizawa has kept for 15 years
*and this is just speculation and under the assumption the class 15 years ago would have followed similarly to current–after the sports festival, they decide on hero names.
whether you're a believer in aizawa being a gen-ed kid or not, and whether aizawa's been in the hero course or transferred, either way, that was a seriously short amount of time for aizawa to get used to mic–and he clearly is, because he actually talks and responds to mic and takes his suggestions.
*and finally, aizawa actually, genuinely trusts mic–this isn't a case of 'this guy's a loudmouth and i would never trust him with anything' as typically seen in this kind of opposites dynamic. no, aizawa actually trusts mic, and he trusts him to bodyguard toshinori

WOW THATS REALLY LONG AJSUAJSJJWNW tl dr: aizawa trusts and also probably actually genuinely likes mic

now, on mic's end, 90% of the time we see mic, he's with aizawa, and in the case of the recent chapter, appeared on behalf of aizawa. in the anime, during USJ, we see a shot of aizawa's body before mic steps in view of the camera, and he's clearly pissed. we were shown mic's quirk a season early bc of this lmao

mic also calls aizawa 'eraser', like, frequently, which i think is nice because that was the name mic gave aizawa and its kinda like his special thing lmao

also, this is in smash!, but its still cute anyways: mic is on first name basis and calls aizawa cute stuff like shoucchan!!!!

also this probably means nothing but uhhhhhh aizawa narrated mic's quirk introduction when someone else like all might or midoriya (and i say midoriya because he was watching the match and has the knowledge he does, and it could have been played as Midoriya Narrating The Battle Or Mentioning Mic's Quirk Out Loud) could have done it

and now this all boils down to why i think they would be a good couple:

*mic spends a LOT of time with aizawa. sports festival, desks right next to each other, fending off the press, going out to drinks together, etc. this is mostly because mic's a minor character, but this is the most significant (actually, the ONLY) relationship of mic's we've been shown, meaning they're uhh, probably Best Friends
*aizawa actually likes and trusts mic, despite mic being everything he is shown to dislike
*if they were to start dating i don't think much of their dynamic would change, which is why they would be Very Good

anyways thanks for coming to my TED talk im so sorry this is so long„

"Here's a short list of reasons why I ship them:
How pissed Mic was when Aizawa was injured by the villains

•Them commentating the sports festival together. Mic is usually the one who commentates on everything, he's the voice hero after all, there's no reason for Aizawa to be there since most people don't even know he's a hero so Mic probably made him go bc, well, Aizawa is hurt v badly and wanted him to feel better and give him something to distract himself from his injuries, i guess?

•They were high school classmates and seemed to be on good terms just by that little interaction we got of their HS days. Just the concept of High school sweethearts is very cute to me tbh

•Aizawa got his hero name from him and has kept it for 15 years, how cute is that, he probably takes great pride it and that's probably why Mic always calls him 'Eraser' instead of 'Shouta' (He has him saved as 'Shouta-kun' in his contacts)

•Their opposite personalities and looks (the black hair/blond hair is a v nice aesthetic too). Mic is very loud and energetic, Aizawa is very quiet, barely speaks and just v lethargic all the time, they'd be perfect for each other

•On the drama CD Aizawa goes out with Mic for drinks, Mic had planned it to celebrate Toshinori's birthday but Aizawa didn't know that and when Toshi gets there Aizawa is like 'what's he doing here? I'm going home' so that means that they're v close and Aizawa thought that it was going to be just the two of them hanging out, Mic convinces him to stay tho

•Did I mention how much I love the concept of High school sweethearts and opposites?

These could all be taken as them just being best friends but hey, isn't your partner supposed to be your best friend anyway? So yeah, this is why I ship them, anyone can interpret it however they want ツ
TL;DR: Shoot, dude, I don't know I just love them together?„
