All I Have Is All You Gave To Me [Young!Aizawa x Reader]

6 Disarm - The Smashing Pumpkins

And leave you like they left me here

To wither in denial

The two of us had barricaded ourselves in the girls' bathroom - after a long and tedious protest from Aizawa. The whole point was that except for me, there were probably no other girls in the school at this very moment, so we would be pretty safe. Plus, if anyone walked in, I could always use my illusion. I didn't mention that using it again might actually knock me out.

"You might really wanna put an ice pack on your cheek. The swelling looks bad. It's probably gonna look all purple or green on Monday." I said. Aizawa had gotten very quiet since I had started taking care of his wounds. It was like he was trying to act all indifferent again. But it wasn't going to work on me again, not after I had seen a vulnerable side to him that I'd never expected.

"And you really have to change the bandages on your hands over the weekend. Those cuts look bad, don't let them get infected." I told him. I had managed to steal some bandages from Recovery Girl's office. Honestly, I was pretty lucky with that, because she had left the door unlocked. There wasn't really anything worth stealing in there, anyway. And I was sure she wouldn't mind two bandages missing.

"I'm sorry." Aizawa suddenly said. I looked up at him in confusion. What the hell was he sorry for?
"Why?" I wanted to know.

"I'm sorry for dragging you into all this. You're going to get even more detention now and you could get in trouble for stealing those bandages. Plus, those guys won't be happy you helped me." he answered, not looking me in the eye. He seemed genuinely embarrassed by this.

"Hey, don't even worry about it. I'm just glad you're okay. I don't care if I get another month of detention, I was actually enjoying spending time with you and Shirakumo and Yamada. You guys are fun. And I don't think Recovery Girl will make a fuss over the bandages when she hears what happened. Also, how would Watanabe figure out that it was me helping you out?"

"How many people at this school have an Illusion Quirk?" Aizawa asked. I shrugged, not thinking much of it.

"So what? They don't know it was an illusion. All they saw was the teacher telling them to leave."

"They'll figure it out Monday or Tuesday, when he doesn't want to at least talk to them. It'll be weird, they'll go talking to him and he won't know a thing."

"And you really think that they'd be smart enough to make the connection to me? I doubt it." I said.

"They might not be smart enough, but the teacher will be. And when he figures it out, you'll get another week of detention on top of that. If not more. And all because I was too pathetic to defend myself."

I gave Aizawa a surprised look. Out of everyone in the class he didn't strike me as someone to have issues with his self-confidence, but apparently he did have them. What was he on about, calling himself pathetic? They were five against one, and the five of them were massive guys, as well.

"That's bullshit, Aizawa. You're not pathetic at all. I don't think anyone would have a chance against those five guys ganging up on them. I was surprised you were so calm out there. I would have freaked much earlier than you." I admitted. It was then that Aizawa actually looked at me for the first time, since I had started washing out his wounds. It even looked like he was smiling a little.

"Thank you." was all he said, but just looking at his eyes told me so much more. He was genuinely grateful that I had stepped in when I did and that I had taken care of him and didn't care about getting more detention and how he was still a little embarrassed that he couldn't defend himself.

"It's alright. Are you feeling dizzy or do you have a headache? Do you feel nauseous?" I wanted to know.

"No, not really. Just in pain, but that's nothing new." he answered with a faint smile. I laughed a little. I could relate to being constantly in pain. I don't think I remember what it felt like to live without sore muscles.

"Well, you should still rest, just in case you have a concussion or something. You left quite a dent in that locker when they bashed your head against it." I said to him. He just shrugged with an indifferent look on his face.

"People always tell me I've got a hard head, so I guess I should be fine." he deadpanned. That actually made me laugh out loud. Honestly, Aizawa was kind of cute. The way his hair always fell into his eyes, his sarcasm, the indifferent air about him, his whole anti-establishment attitude - it was something that just made him incredibly endearing and attractive to me.

"Let's get you home then. Where do you live?" I wanted to know. He gave me a shocked look.

"You're not walking me home." he said.

"Why not?"

"Because I'm fine. I can get home on my own. You've already wasted so much time on helping me."

"Hey, that wasn't a waste of time. You know, you're actually a really nice guy. I don't want to hear that you collapsed somewhere on the way home and died." I said to him, looking away from him. It was kind of weird to admit that and maybe I was blushing a little. I just hoped he didn't see it in a weird way or anything.

"I really don't need you to walk me home. I'll be fine on my own." Aizawa said and started making his way out of the bathroom, bending over in pain after a few steps. I smiled at him with my arms crossed.

"I don't know, looks to me like you do need some help." I commented. He shot me an angry glare.

"You really don't need to. I'll be fine." he insisted. I rolled my eyes and grabbed my bag, putting his arm around my shoulder.

"Come on, Aizawa. I'll walk you home. Where do you live?" she asked.

"Near Tatooin Station. You really don't have to do this, you know?"

"That's funny, because I live there, too. So it's not even a bother for me. Do you rent an apartment or do you live with your parents?" I wanted to know. Aizawa seemed surprised that we were basically neighbours.

"I... I live with my parents. That's weird, how have I never seen you around?" Aizawa wanted to know. I shrugged.

"I don't know. I usually was hanging out with Yuki and Hideko, and they live all the way on the other side of Musutafu." I said.

"Huh. Weird. Do you walk or take the train to school?"

"Depends on the weather. If it's nice I walk, if it's rainy I usually take the train. You walk every day, don't you?"

"Yeah. Gives me a chance for some fresh air." he said with a slight smile.

"Hey, maybe we should walk together when the weather is good. Yuki and Hideko never walk to school and some days I just wish I wasn't on my own, because it is such a long way." I said to him.

"Sure, maybe." he replied with a slight smile.
