NIGHTMARES [Aizawa Shouta/Eraserhead x Reader]

37

When dawn came, Aizawa found himself under the comfort of silk blankets without the presence of [name] . He couldn't remember when exactly he fell asleep but he knew exactly why he such a peaceful slumber. The man remained sitting at the same spot on the floor where he just blankly stared at the teen when she was asleep.

He groaned and just slouched back at the side of the bed with his head tilted upwards to rest on the mattress. Any time from now he would receive a text from Shinobu and both of them would have to head off. Aizawa felt a lump in his throat and a heavy feeling in his chest. His head fell to the side and saw the bright red digital numbers on his alarm. Just one more minute and it would start ringing, filling the small area with its noisy echoes.

With the curtains closed, the place looked so dark. Only small rays of light slid through the gaps of the emerald cloth that covered the windows of his room. Somehow he wanted to stay inside and never come out but he had work to be done. When the continuous beeping came, he remembered those times when he literally had to beat the clock in waking you up.

It's not time to daydream!, he immediately shook you out of his thoughts and crawled up to the table to shut off the alarm. Just that moment, his phone lit up and Shinobu's message popped up. The doctor had informed the pro hero of their desired meeting place for that day and the time his family would arrive.

Since he had to mask this as a job, it was evident thay they arrive first at the said place. There was still more than an hour to go but punctuality was a must. Aizawa started preparing and dressed up into his hero outfit in a flash.

When the pro arrived at the common room, [name] had been waiting eagerly with breakfast for two ready on the table. All of his students were still not up and it was just the two of them there. Aizawa sat across from [name] and gladly ate the food she had prepared for them both.

The pro's gaze would constantly go back and forth from his food to the child. His glances were subtle and it was a good thing that his long messy hair was in the way so she couldn't possibly notice. There was a smile on her face as they enjoyed their homemade meal that made the older curious.

"What's wrong?", he casually asked with his coffee mug in hand.

Her smile immediately faltered when she knew her guardian had noticed her mood. It made her difficult to respond quickly but [name] wanted to elicit more responses from the man. "Well umm... A lot happened and... Its been a while since we did something together..."

Aizawa had to admit her words were true but that didn't matter now. After all, maybe this could very well be the last meal that they would share together. He had no intention of giving her false hopes so he really had to settle it as soon as possible.

The park was still quiet by the time they arrived. Only those who would have their morning jog and walks with their pets were there. Since there was still half an hour left, the two sat on the bench while they waited for the supposed client. The sound of people passing by and the fluttering leaves filling the silence that grew between them.

Aizawa leaned comfortably on the bench with his arm stretched across the back rest with his head tilting in the opposite direction where [name] sat. In all honesty, he had no idea what Shinobu's plan was for this entire day so he had to prepare himself if ever any crime happens to occur at any time.

The pro's face began to make that pout-like frown that usually displayed his irritation or uneasiness about a certain situation. The teen noticed it and began advancing towards the man. Their physical distance had been closed immediately as the prying look of hers did not disappear.

Eraser felt a hot breath near him. He turned to find the source and just found [name]'s face just a centimetre away from his. His own breath hitched and stopped for a moment as his mind slowly processed the situation. Both their cheeks were stained with a shade of red, Aizawa's darker. The scent that he could whiff off of her didn't make it any better.

With their positions becoming unbearable, he decided to be the first to pull away. Even if it only lasted for a 5 seconds, his lack of breath was like a villain tried to suffocate him. He used his scarf like weapon to hide the majority of his flustered expression. He kept forgetting that [name] was a teenager with the innocence of a child.

The teen felt as if she had just made her guardian more irritated than he had already been. "I-I'm sorry..."

"Just don't do that again... to me or any guy for that matter", Aizawa did his best to regain his lost composure as quick as possible.

"I... understand..."

As soon as the tension got resolved, a ball came rolling towards their feet. Eraser picked up the toy and a familiar boy came running to them. It was the same boy they met during the internships, Shouta.

"Ah! Nee-chan!", the child was as surprised as they were. Shouta immediately recognized the both of them and called out eagerly to his parents. "Mama! Papa! Its the heroes who saved me!"

When Shouta's parents came to view, the pro almost stiffened in surprise. This was not scenario he did not expect. "Shinobu-san...?"

The silver grey haired man who usually wore a creased lab coat and mask was standing before them in a civilian attire with his spouse right beside him. "Eraserhead. I didn't know that you've already met our son"

"They were the one who helped me get back home, Papa!", the child enthusiastically clung to his father's coat and was picked up in his arms.

"I see. Well then I have good news. Eraserhead-san will be the one accompanying us today", Shinobu ruffled his son's hair and the child gave a gleeful response. "I guess I've said this before but I truly am one of your fans"

"Yes, you have"

A/N: Sorry I got delayed by a day with the update. So here's a short comic strip of the earlier scenario
