Irrationality (Aizawa x reader)

Chapter Seventeen

Wednesday, 10:17 a.m. - (Y/n)

Your head was pounding.

Yesterday had been filled with a headache and nausea. You had taken the day off, but it felt as though a day of rest had done little to help your health. The illness, you were certain, was a mild case of food poisoning - you deeply regretted eating that chicken...

Regardless, you still had a job to do and time wasn't going to stop just for you.

You trudged through the halls of the agency. Starting to feel dizzy, you leaned against a nearby wall to steady yourself. Has your office always been this far from the main entrance?

Maybe you should've taken another day off-

BEEP BEEP BEEP-

The fire alarm?

People all around you began to rush to the exit, shoving their way out. You pressed your body against the wall to avoid the crowd.

Wait, you thought, all of my work these past few weeks... it'll be destroyed. Shit.

Starting to feel desperate, you left the comfort of the wall and shouldered past the people trying to escape the building.

You needed to save everything. You couldn't let everything that you've done, that you've been through, this past week be for nothing.

Pushing past a sudden bout of nausea, you managed to break free of the crowd, only to discover smoke spilling out of your office.

No-

"What the hell are you doing!?" Toshiro called out.

"Saving the files-"

Without another word, he tossed you over his shoulder and dragged you away from the burning room.

You flailed in his grasp, "Let go!"

"As if!"

You stopped squirming in his grasp, turning your attention to your office. Using your quirk, you tried to increase the probability of everything surviving the fire, but you couldn't.

The bag tucked underneath Toshiro's arm caught your eye. He had saved everything. Did he... know about the fire beforehand?

A cool breeze made you realize that you were no longer inside the building. Once he set you down, Toshiro yanked you close, pressing his lips against your ear.

"Use your quirk to make sure no one notices us," he whispered.

Nodding, you quickly granted his request, "Done."

He wrapped an arm around your waist, and the two of you went soaring over the crowd and several buildings. You shut your eyes, burying your face in his chest.

"Incoming."

Finally landing on the sweet, hard ground, you hastily parted from him.

"I need you to use your quirk to make sure no one notices me on the way back, too."

"Alright, but-"

He shoved the bag into your chest, "And make sure not a single soul notices you as you take this to the police."

"Hold on Toshiro, what-"

Grinning, he gave you a thumbs up, "Good luck!"

With that he was gone.

Leaning against a nearby building, you shut your eyes. Using your quirk so many times in a row paired with your nausea meant a lot of energy was being used up.
