Storms' POV
"Agh!" Takami pulled away.
"Sorry!" I stopped applying the antidote to my toxin. He screwed his one eye shut, gripping onto the covers of his bed.
"I-It's not your fault." He stuttered.
"I know it hurts, the toxin is being drawn out of your bloodstream. It's a much more painful procedure than normal toxin removals because mine was scientifically created." I muttered, cleaning up the soiled bandages into a little pile. Takami came forwards again, signaling he was ready for me to try again.
I poured some more of the antidote onto the medical towel, gently pressing it onto the scratches on his face. I could feel the heat pulsing from the wounds. It was bad.
"Sometimes, when my emotions are out of check, like they were when I lashed out at you, the toxins increase their potency by coating my claws more heavily." I said, trying to give Takami something else to focus on, even if it was the same thing causing him pain.
"W-What caused you t-to... l-lash out?" He asked.
"I told you, I can't say. I'm sorry. I'll tell you eventually, just... not right now." I sighed.
"T-That's alright. Y-You don't n-need to tell me if y-you don't want to." He shuddered.
"Thank you. You're being very kind right now." I said, touching the wound again. Both of us were quiet until I finished. Takami flopped sideways onto his bed, completely exhausted.
"There. You should get some rest. I'll-" The smaller male grabbed my arm before I could turn all the way around.
"Don't go... please... I-I know we aren't a-as close as we once were but... y-you're the only person that I trust... you've n-never lied to me..." His eyes shone with anxiety. I sighed, smiling.
"I'll stay." I sat down on the other side of the bed, reaching over to set my hand on him. I gently rubbed his shoulder, sensing his guilt and pain.
"It'll be alright. I promise." I murmured. Takami's racing heart slowed down as he fell into a peaceful sleep. I couldn't help but look at him. I noticed how much worse he looked. He was skinnier, paler than usual. Yet despite that his crimson wings seemed to glow in a way, drawing you in to them. His body slowly rose and fell with each breath he took.
Why do I want to change into my winged snow leopard form and curl around him to shield him from this world? I've never wanted to do this before. I do it with the students because they're mine, and I love them with everything I have. I don't want them to suffer. Wait... do I love Takami? No, that's not right. I don't feel the same way about him as I do the students. It's not love, then.
I thought to myself. Something about the thought was bothering me though. I wrote the group chat, excluding Takami.
Heyyy quick question.

Hey Storms! What's up?
Aizawa 🐛
Everything okay? Saw you leave.
I'm fine, thank you. I just wanted to know something. Apologies for bad wording. So I love the students a lot, they're like adopted family. I care about y'all too, the same way. But I was thinking, if you think you love someone but it doesn't feel the same as the way I love the students is it still love?

God Nemuri you're so not helpful.
Kayama 😏
Am too! Stupid gay bitch.
Aizawa 🐛
The hell?

Guys! Storms asked a question! Can you not fight right now? Please?
Aizawa 🐛
Oh yeah. Storms, you probably wouldn't know this because of how you were raised, but there's more than one type of love. What you feel for the students is called "storge". It's a parent-child love. Best described as kinship and familiarity bonds. What you feel for us is "philia". It's a love you feel for your friends. There's a few other types but the love people feel for their spouses or significant other is "eros", a romantic love. Was that helpful?
Yes! Thank you so very much. I really appreciate it!

Wow Aizawa I didn't know you knew so much about love! Didn't think you were that kind of person!
Aizawa 🐛
I don't think it's always rational considering it can get in the way of your job, but I know what it is. I'm not devoid of feelings.
Kayama 😏
So you ARE in love! The stoic Aizawa, head over heels for someone!
Toshinori 😁
I think you guys are kind of off topic at this point.
It's okay! Don't worry, I got my answer lol.
And y'all, I already know who Aizawa loves.

How?

Kinda curious now!
I can sense it. It's my Shapeshifter Quirk. I can sense emotions, remember?

Damn you.
I laughed, covering my mouth as I remembered Takami was asleep next to me.
I have known for a long time who Aizawa loves. But it is none of my business, as he didn't tell me. I don't plan on meddling in his love life. That is his life. If I am asked to help, I will. Otherwise I will act as if I don't know.
I decided. Feeling drowsy, I closed my eyes, allowing sleep to take over my mind.
—————————
"Well good morning!" I chirped, seeing Takami wake up. He swayed as he sat up, still half asleep. Unfortunately his balance as still pretty off. My friend fell onto my lap, facing away from me. I smiled, gently setting my hand on his head.
His hair is so soft...
I noticed. Takami tucked his wings in closer to his body, nuzzling closer to me.
"You're a lot more cuddly than you let on, huh, Mr. Number Two Hero?" I chuckled. He didn't respond. I could tell Takami had already fallen back asleep.
He's seriously a lot lighter than I thought. Ought to get him something to eat later. Probably some chicken. Yes. That sounds perfect.
