NIGHTMARES [Aizawa Shouta/Eraserhead x Reader]

23

A week had already passed since the final exams. After Aizawa had announced their results, the entire group of soon to be heroes had felt like a thorn had been finally pulled out of their chests. Even the thorn that had been engraved on a certain young [name] 's chest had been relieved after her guardian had given her time to come out clean from her inner dilemma. Of course, everyone had forgave her and Aizawa had proven his words correct but something inside [name] started to feel a bit uneasy.

On this particular weekend, Aizawa had decided to call off the training of his foster child (or so what his co workers tried describing it). And on this particular day, his friend Nemuri, had also decided that they have some bonding time. It was a chance to relax themselves from all of their worries.

The 18+ only hero had prepared a lovely yet casual clothing for the teen and a little something for his friend as well. Of course, the man testified his utmost disagreement about the said matter but it was too late... especially when he found out that Mic had apparently stole his entire wardrobe and refused to return it unless he agreed to the date they had set up.

Oh how the raven haired man gravely wanted to strangle his long time friend and force him to fess up but he did want a break. The only problem was the whole idea of going out to waste money and energy just to enjoy a pleasured leisure time was very very irrational.

The blonde loudmouth had given the stoic male a few sets of clothing to choose from and all but one was suitable to his liking. It was a plain dark moss green cotton coat, a pale yellow long sleeve turtle neck and a pair of pants to go along with it. And as Mic finished dressing him up, [name] came into view.

The teen wore a [chosen color] sailor outfit with a matching [same color] beret with small feather ornaments and gems at the side. She was also wearing a pair of [same color] doll shoes and white stockings that leveled just below the rim of the dress' frills that went just  at the middle of her thighs. And the shade of her outfit complement her [skin tone] features perfectly.

The blonde's elbow jabbed his companion's side with a shady grin. He was obviously trying to relay another teasing statement but he got cut off by the latter's capture weapon that seemed to appear out of nowhere and just strangled him by the mouth to his knees.

"Are you two fighting?" it was the question of the doll like child. Her lips slightly curved downward, stating that she did not like the ocurring scene. Luckily, Nemuri managed to get in between and explained that the situation was absolutely normal and that [name] need not to worry about any bloodshed to come about.

Aizawa then snapped a "don't-you-think-that-I'm-letting-this-slide" kind of glare before he finally loosened the synthetic material off of his companion. And before any more trouble could transpire any further, the heroine had decided it was high time they went off and went out to enjoy their day of relaxation and peace.

Why does it always end up like this?, was the single thought lingering in the raven haired man's mind as he tried to - as much as possible - enjoy the meal before him. As his irritation grew, an audible groan managed to slip past him making the teen flinch in response. To see her guardian in such a bad mood made [name] feel a bit uncomfortable so she decided to speak.

"I... Umm... I'm sorry about this", she murmured quietly as to only let her guardian hear.

"There's no need for you to apologize for something those two idiots had pla--"

"Actually, it was me!"

"What!?"

Before Aizawa could even finish his statement, he got intercepted by the child's sudden confession which only made him dumbfounded. He raised an eyebrow, waiting for his companion's response.

"I was the one who came up with the idea of going out. Ever since that incident at the shopping center, I felt that you've been more restless so I... Umm..."

The man sighed in exasperation as he rubbed his temples. Details of the villains' threat to his students during their shopping last weekend flashed across his mind. Aizawa knew that the child meant no harm yet the thought of his friends scheming in on it too was just a recipe for a disaster that was definitely bound to happen.

At the same moment, there was a pleading look in her eyes. And all of a sudden, Aizawa began seeing fluffy cat ears and a tail on the child. Both of which were in slumped position. The pro hero had to snap himself out of his hallucinations while remaining as apathetic as he had always been.

"Listen... I appreciate you doing all this but there's no need. If I worried you then I'm sorry but next time... If you have any concerns, just approach me, okay?"

Aizawa could then clearly see the imaginary ears and tails perk up from relief. Although the words that came from the raven haired man was monotonous, the way he delivered it was entirely different from how [name] perceived it. The male had managed to draw out that pure and innocent smile he had rarely seen before that even made his heart - although he's reluctant to admit and say - flutter.

Ever since Aizawa had managed to unravel the mystery behind his fostered child's ability, her uneasiness grew less and less. She had trusted her capabilities more and started to become more and more independent with her decisions.  As time flies by, she was becoming more and more of a normal teenager just like anyone else. It was a matter of time before she develops an outgoing and independent personality... although it was a day that the pro hero did not dream of happening.

As the sun set and the day had been brought to an end, the two had walked side by side along the familiar street where they pass by on their usual morning track. Whenever the man's pace would prove to be blistering, [name] would tug on his sleeve and he'd immediately get the cue that the child couldn't keep up.

To stop the reoccurring circumstances, he instructed for [name] to place her hand on his. The pro's large calloused hands had enveloped her thin pale ones. There was a different kind of warmth that started to spread across inside her chest. There was an insatiable beating that bombarded her chest and the warmth she had felt also began to stain her cheeks.

What was this?, she wondered. And before she knew it, they were already back at their apartment. Nemuri and Hizashi had already left with no other word even before the two had arrived home. Nothing much actually happened yet something about that simple date had satisfied [name] more than she had believed it to be true. That feeling she had a while ago had already been brushed off before they went to bed but unbeknownst to her that that feeling would come to intensify one day...

One day when things can't possibly go back to how things came to be.
