The Little Red Thread: Soulmate AU (AizawaXreader)

Soulmate AU: Part 5

"I'm waiting Ms. Y/N."

Error: Y/N L/N has stopped working.

"Ms.Y/N?" Aizawa tapped the side of your bare leg, "Are you alright?"

"Yes!" You blurted before quickly distracting yourself with his hair. It was much softer than you thought it would be. You quickly zoned out, falling into the familiar task.

"I think that's the first time I've seen you smile." Aizawa said as you ran your fingers through his dark locks to check for any tangles.

You chuckled quietly, "What do you mean? I smiled a couple of times earlier today."

"Maybe, but that one's different. You don't look as stressed now."

"You noticed that then?" You sighed, "I'm not the best around large groups." You started to braid a small section of his hair.

"If it's any consolation, you won't have to deal with many of those while we're stuck together. Except for my class of course." Aizawa said as the beginnings of a smile danced across his lips.

"It's a small consolation, but it's appreciated none the less." You tied off the end of the braid, "Plus, I think your class doesn't mind me too much." 

Aizawa scoffed, "Those kids have already taken a liking to you. They aren't afraid to voice their disapproval of something."

"Is that so?" You asked as he grabbed your linked hand to stand again.

Knocking on the door startled you both, making you jump. Aizawa squeezed your hand reassuringly. He looked down at you still wrapped in the fluffy towel, "Shit. Hurry we need to get dressed." He quickly grabbed a large gray shirt off one of the stacks and helped you put it on.

"Hey, it's X Pizzeria with your delivery, is anybody home?" You heard a man ask, his voice muffled by the door.

Aizawa looked at you again, the hem of his shirt fell just above your knees, "That will have to do for right now." He snatched a pair of faded black sweatpants and you helped him step into them.

You both walked towards the door, "Just stand behind the door and don't say anything until it's shut again, okay?" Aizawa instructed.

Aizawa dropped his smile as he opened the door.

"Oh! Um, hi! Yes, here's your order, sir! And your receipt." Ryan said as soon as the door started opening.

"Thanks." Aizawa said flatly. He didn't remove his left hand from the door as he took the pizza.

"Now, if you'll just sign this receipt, sir, I'll be on my way." Ryan said as he held out the piece of paper expectantly. Aizawa looked at the receipt, but didn't move to sign it.

"Mr. Eraserhead, sir?"

Aizawa sighed, "If I see any mention of her tonight anywhere on social media or the news, there will be problems, understood?"

"I'm not entirely sure I follow what you're saying, but yessir."

Aizawa looked to you, "Here, take this while I sign the receipt." You stepped into view and shyly took the box.

Ryan's eyes grew wide in disbelief, "Okay yea, I get what you meant now. No worries," he handed over the ticket, "What you two do in your own home is your own business."

Aizawa used the door to press down on while he signed, "Our relationship isn't like that, so I would appreciate it if rumors didn't start because of this."

"Hey, I'm not judging, but I'd appreciate if you didn't lie sir." Ryan's snorted. His eyes glanced between Aizawa's bare chest and the red thread around your wrists, "I mean anybody would have guessed you were into that kind of stuff if I'm being completely honest."

"What do you mean?" You asked as you swayed in place on the balls of your feet.

"I just was saying that it makes sense for Mr.Eraserhead to be into well um, well that," he pointed at the red thread while avoiding eye contact with either of you, "Especially since he only uses that scarf of his while he's on patrol."

Unable to contain yourself, you started cackling, "Oh my god!" You took a deep breath to compose yourself.

It doesn't work.

"He just accused you of being into bondage! Holy crap, that's just too perfect!" You snorted looking at Aizawa.

"He technically also accused you of it as well. You do realize that, right?" Aizawa said holding the receipt but not returning it.

"Fair point-but more importantly! You can see the red thread?" You asked as you bounced on the tips of your toes.

"Yea? ...Am I not supposed to?"

"That's awesome! That means you've already met your soulmate!" You explained, "It's one of the side affects of a quirk he was hit with last night."

"That's just what we've been told." Aizawa interjected as he handed back the receipt, "Now, if you don't mind, we still need to eat." Aizawa shut the door before the very confused Ryan could ask any more questions.

"You're just mad because he's probably right." You snickered, peeking inside the pizza box.

"Wouldn't you like to know. Now come on, I'm starving." Aizawa walked towards the kitchen not waiting for a response.
