Mic and Reina walked out the room, already engaged in an animated discussion about Mic's radio show and music. You got to your feet and turned to walk out the room but stopped when you saw Aizawa.
Is he already asleep??
You bent down next to the bed and asked quietly, "Aizawa? Are you still awake?"
Aizawa grumbled something incoherent without opening his eyes.
"Umm.. I'm not sure if that was a yes or not, but I'll still ask. Did you need anything before I leave the room? You never said what you needed when you got up the first time."
"Smelt coffee... couldn't sleep.." he mumbled with his face partially buried in your pillow.
"Couldn't sleep? Is it because you're sick? If you give me sec," you frowned as you stood upright again, "I think I have some cold meds in the cabinet that should help with that."
You went to walk away and felt Aizawa's hand grab yours hesitantly.
You turned back to face him and felt the crack in your heart splinter further apart.
His face was flush from the fever as he gazed up at you. His eyes were brimming with tears that threatened to spill, and rimmed red as he struggled to keep them at bay.
He open his mouth slightly as if to speak, but remained silent. He didn't need to say anything. His gaze burned with contrite confusion.
It didn't feel right for you to say something in this moment, so you remained quiet as Aizawa struggled to find the words he needed without losing anymore of his unstable composure.
He shook his head weakly and released his shaky grip on your hand. He let his hand fall as he tore his gaze from you. His eyes fell shut causing a few stray tears to spill over.
You sighed quietly to yourself before picking up the throw blanket that had been discarded at the end of your bed. Aizawa flinched away violently as you laid it over him, but immediately settled back down when he realized it was still just you.
You knelt on the floor in front of him and absently made sure that he was covered with the blanket. You smiled sadly as you spoke, "It's okay Aizawa, you don't need to force yourself to say anything. Let's both just focus on you getting better for now." You patted the small piece of mattress between the two of you awkwardly before standing back up.
"I'm just a shout away if you need anything." You promised before walking silently from the room.
