Gasping for Air (Shouta Aizawa x Asthmatic!Reader)

Synopsis: Ok I have this request where the s/o has asthma so they can't really do anything past their limits without coughing up and needing Ventolin. So I was thinking if they were at the USJ attack and the LOV see this as a weak point to tire them out til they can't really breath. Thinking of either Aizawa or Toshinori. Thank you if you can do it ^^

Author's notes: Asthma is the story of my life. So I can write from experience! This reason is why I could never be a pro hero... among other things! I hope you enjoy it!

Why did today have to turn out like this?

The exasperated thought echoed in the minds of the teachers, namely Shouta and yourself. You two were in the centre of it all to protect your students. But they were already separated to other ends of the USJ, far from sight and all alone.

The thought made your maternal instincts over your students haywire, internally panicking about their safety. But you weren't allowed the chance to fret over them as the mass of villains continued their assault upon you and your colleague. Neither of you had the most offensive quirks, so all you could do was defend the area until Tenya returned with the other teachers.

No matter how many thugs you appeared to knock out, they were each replaced with one just behind them. While you were a skilled and respected hero, you knew your weaknesses, and they were beginning to creep up on you.

And it didn't help that both sides of the fight also took notice of your weakness.

Shouta, always observant, was used to listening in for your laboured breathing and coughing in the middle of a fight. He became intuned with it ever since you two trained together while attending this very school. He grits his teeth, aiming his neutralising gaze at the goons daring to attack you, offering you momentary advantages.

Anything to keep you going, because he can't find a way to kick you out the fight without putting you in danger. All either of you could do was thin the herd.

Kurogiri's misty yellow eyes narrowed as they focused on your form. Noting the moments, you were coughing in the small moments between each enemy, attempting to clear your tightening throat and chest, but to no avail. The misty formed villain drew Tomura's attention to your form.

The difficulty to take in the air was becoming increasingly apparent. There was no chance for you to recover and take in your Ventolin, despite the little puffer just being in your pocket. Easy to access and yet so far from reach. Wheezing sounds rose from your mouth, and more of the villains swarmed, blocking Shouta's view of you.

"(H/n)!" Eraserhead shouted as the colours of your hero suit disappeared. Damnit! Each hit he delt held more ferocity. All in the goal of returning to you before it was too late.

It seemed the world had been challenging you from the very beginning. From a very young age, you were diagnosed with asthma. It started off very mild as a young child, only to progressively worsen as you grew.

"You're going to be the death of yourself, (Y/n)" Shouta scolded you, standing by your side as you used your Ventolin. Previously, Shouta and yourself had been sparring. Even when you were beginning to wheeze, you weren't willing to take the defeat until Shouta stopped you with his scarf.

"You say that every time we spar, Shou" You chuckled, brushing back your (h/c) hair back, taking slow and deep breaths.

Your raven-haired friend growled, "Because it happens every time we spar. You should know your limits by now." His dark eyes narrowed in your direction.
