The Little Red Thread: Soulmate AU (AizawaXreader)

Soulmate AU: Part 15

****One hour later****

"There's no way of me knowing for sure right now, but the results seem to point to that." Recovery girl said as she finished explaining her diagnoses of the group.

"So what you're saying is that her quirk doesn't simply put people to sleep, but that she's transferring the stressful energy and tension from the targeted person to herself?" Aizawa asked rubbing his temples. He felt a migraine forming after hearing the current conditions of you and his four students.

"Yes dear, and that's why Bakugo has been out the longest. His body is so used to running under extreme tension that it just wasn't able to cope with the sudden release from it. He should be fine by the end of the day, if not then by early morning. I'll send the other students to class once they wake up." Recovery Girl assured him before picking up your chart again.

"Do you know how long she'll be like this?" Aizawa asked looking at you as you slept. You hadn't moved since collapsing in the gym, but your color was gradually beginning to come back.

"Hmm, now that's a bit tricky. You said she's never used her quirk to this extent before. Since we have no form of reference for how strong the backlash from her quirk is on her body, it's hard to say." Recovery Girl sighed before moving away to organize some medical supplies she had set out on her desk. She paused while she cleaned and said, "The biggest factor right now is how strong her resolve is. Although after listening to you speak about her just now, I think she'll be just fine before you know it dear."

Aizawa nodded but didn't say anything, too concerned about you and the students to be embarrassed by Recovery Girl's words.

"I need to step out of the office for a moment, but I'll come back later to check in on how everyone's doing. I'll have LunchRush send something in for you if she hasn't woken up by this evening."

"Thanks."

Recovery Girl shut the door behind herself with a quiet click, leaving Aizawa alone with the five of you. He looked at the unconscious group and sighed before settling down in a nearby chair he pulled next to your bed. Aizawa leaned back, resting his head against the thick folds of his capture weapon and slowly drifted off to sleep.

*several hours later—after dinner*

"Um, what should we do?" Kaminari asked Kirishima. The pair had been instructed to bring a tray of food to Recovery Girl's office for Mr. Aizawa.

Upon arriving, the pair was greeted by a sleeping Aizawa. While the sight of their teacher sleeping was anything but new to them, this was their first time seeing him sleep so heavily. Aizawa had gradually leaned farther and farther in the chair until he was partially resting on the side of your bed with his legs sprawled out in front of him. He was holding your hand tightly in his own.

Kirishima rubbed the back of his neck, "I would say we could just leave the food on Recovery Girl's desk for when he wakes up later, but he won't be able to reach it with them still stuck together like that."

"Hey, maybe we can borrow one of Recovery Girl's rolling cart table things and leave it on that for him." Kaminari suggested as he looked around the room for an empty one.

"Sure, sounds good to me man."

Kaminari ended up finding one first, setting the food on top of it with a pleased grin.

"Hurry up and roll it by him so we can get out of here already." Kirishima said, already backing towards the exit. The door opened suddenly and Uraraka entered the room.

"Hey you guys, the others sent me to see what was taking you so long." She explained, "What have you two been up to in here?"

"Sorry Uraraka," Kaminari whispered, "We had to find something to put Mr. Aizawa's dinner on that he could reach and were trying not to wake him."

"Alright, it's no big deal. I figured you two had a reason for being held up." She pointed over her shoulder at the door she had just come through, "If you guys are done we should probably go meet up with the others now."

"Yea okay, come on Kamin-"

Aizawa groaned loud and shifted in his seat. All three students froze, none of them dared to move. Kaminari looked at the others from where he stood next to Aizawa with panicked fear. He silently mouthed to Kirishima, 'what do I do? He's waking up!'

Uraraka who was watching the panicked blonde whispered, "Kaminari calm down, it's gonna be okay. Look, he's still asleep."

Kaminari hesitantly looked back at their teacher and breathed a quiet sigh of relief when he saw him still asleep.

"Come on man," Kirishima whispered as he tried to make his way toward Uraraka as silently as possible, "let's get out of here."

Kaminari nodded decisively before taking a hesitant step forward. Uraraka and Kirishima silently cheered for him as he began to carefully make his way across the room.

Behind him Aizawa seemingly began to stir, mumbling and gripping at the bedsheets that covered you. The students watched nervous —but intrigued— as their teacher continued to mumble. His word were muffled as he pressed his face into the mattress of the cot, but were gradually getting louder. They couldn't understand what he was saying, but listened as their teacher's incoherent mumbling became increasingly frantic.

Despite her fear of getting yelled at, Uraraka stepped towards Aizawa with intentions of waking him. They could all tell something wasn't right. It was unnerving to watch as their normally brooding and intimidating teacher struggled with what appeared to be a quickly worsening nightmare.

Aizawa suddenly screamed your name, clutching so hard to the small cot that he shook. The students jumped back at the sudden outburst.

"Okay that's it, I'm waking him up," Kirishima exclaimed, "I can't watch this anymore you guys."

Before any of them could do anything else, you suddenly arched your back, lifting yourself partially from the cot. You whimpered weakly as your quirk activated, the blue glow from your eyes shone dimly through your closed lids. The students saw a pained expression painted across your face for only a moment before it was concealed by your hair as it floated upwards.

Aizawa's frantic shouts for you gradually stopped as you gently guided him onto the bed until he was snuggly beside you. Only half conscious, you mumbled quietly to him that you were with him and that everything was okay now. Aizawa buried his face into the crook of your neck as you gently wrapped your free arm around him protectively. You only deactivated your quirk once Aizawa's ragged breathing had finally evened out. Snuggly secured in each other's embrace, you and Aizawa fell back into a deep sleep.

Almost simultaneously, all three students silently walked backwards towards the door, not willing to let you or Aizawa out of their line of sight. Kaminari was the last to exit the room after a stopping for a moment in the doorway. He pulled his phone from his pocket and quickly snapped a picture of you and Aizawa.

Kirishima carefully shut the door to the clinic before speaking again, "What the heck just happened in there?"

Kaminari grinned triumphantly while holding up the phone and said "I dunno man, but the others are going lose it when we show them the picture I just took."
