The Little Red Thread: Soulmate AU (AizawaXreader)

Soulmate AU: Part 61 ⚠️

TW: Blood & Violence. See bottom of summary for update.

Shards of glass scattered across the room as the window behind you seemed to explode. You were struggling to sit upright on the couch when you heard the sound of fighting. Peeking over the top of the couch, you watched Aizawa fighting Derrick. Aizawa slammed his knee into Derrick's face as he tried to stand. You flinched at the audible snap of his nose breaking.

Whipping your head around, you watched as Zanshu calmly took a seat in one of the chairs across from you.  He watched the two men attack each with an unsettling grin on his face. He made no move to help Derrick or to take advantage of the moment and attack Aizawa.

"Shota, something's not right! You need to—" your words stopped short when an unseen force grabbed the back of Aizawa's capture weapon and used it to launch him across the hotel room. He crashed into a large picture frame on the wall, knocking it down and shattering the glass front. Blood welled up from small nicks that littered the side of his face.

You watched as Aizawa crouched down into a widened stance with his fists poised level with his temples, ready to take on whoever threw him. When he only counted the three of you in the room, he put his back to the wall behind him.

Time seemed to stand still for an instant as he sized up the situation.

"Is there a problem, Eraserhead?" Zanshu asked as if the name left a bad taste in his mouth.

"You tell me." Aizawa said flatly.

"No," Zanshu sneered, "I don't think I will." He snapped and you were suddenly accosted by an overwhelming silence.  Every noise that had once filled the room, Derrick's cursing, the traffic outside, even your own breathing, all of it stopped abruptly.

Your ears instinctively strained to hear something —to hear anything without success. The gravity of the situation hit you at the same moment that Aizawa was knocked off his feet. The force of his soundless fall sent minute ripples through the small pool of thickening blood in front of you.

Aizawa was kicked down again and again as he tried to get to his feet. He rolled onto his back and lashed out at his invisible attacker with his capture weapon. It didn't make contact with the attacker, but gave Aizawa the split second he needed to get to his feet.

Jumping back from the direction he was last attacked from, Aizawa made a mad dash for the bed. He yanked the blankets and sheets loose from the mattress and threw them in a wide arc behind him.

As Zanshu watched the fight unfold on the edge of his seat, you slowly slid yourself off the couch with a silent plea that Zanshu's hearing was also affected by his quirk.

Finding a large shard of the broken window, you knelt down and struggled to grab it. The tips of your fingers had gone numb, but you still felt a sharp prick along the side of your wrist as you forced the shard beneath the electrical tape.

You gritted your teeth in frustration as you tried cut yourself free.

Why doesn't he use his quirk on Zanshu? You thought before mentally berating yourself for not trying the same.

"Zanshu!" You felt yourself shout without hearing it, "You need to stop this! Don't hurt him anymore." Blood had dried in you hair causing it float around you in clumps as you kept your quirk active. Your eyes burned from the effort but you didn't let up.

"I know you can hear me, you bastard," you bluffed, "Look at me when I'm talking to you!"

You gasped and nearly lost your focus at the faint sound of your last word. It was barely detectable, but you definitely heard it.

"I know you can hear me," You shouted, "look at me when I'm talking to you!" You stomped your feet in hopes of masking the sounds of the tape slowly stretching and tearing.

Every stomp of your foot was a little louder than the last, and you had to bite the inside of your cheek to keep yourself from grinning.

It's working, you thought as you watched Aizawa who was now standing atop the bare mattress. He had strewn the sheets in a wide arc between the bed and the rest of the room. A sheet shifted to his left but Aizawa was ready this time. His capture weapon shot towards the movement and wrapped around an invisible torso. Yanking the invisible person towards him, he brought them down on his knee hard. A man's voice cursed loudly before the capture weapon went slack.

Unable to move away quick enough, Aizawa was launched into the air towards you. He slid to a rough stop through the small pool of blood and hit the couch. The force of the last throw knocked his goggles askew so that they rested on his forehead.

Still laying on his side, he looked up at you and wheezed, "Hey Y/N."

"You're really here." You whispered before realizing your quirk was still active. You looked between him and Zanshu, unsure what to do. Aizawa coughed before nodding once.

133 people, the number slammed to the forefront of your mind.

You swallowed the storm cloud of conflicting fears inside you and yelled at the top of your lungs.

Summary: Aizawa breaks a window then breaks Derrick's nose as they fought. Aizawa is caught off guard by an invisible assailant and get scratched by broken glass. Zanshu uses his quirk on the entire room so makes it completely silent. Aizawa gets his ass handed to him on a silver platter basically before ripping the sheets from the bed to throw on the floor between him and the attacker. The attacker steps on the sheet revealing where he's at and Aizawa attacks. During all this you try to cut yourself free from the electrical tape with part of the broken window and try to use your quirk on Zanshu so all the sound wouldn't be cancelled anymore. Aizawa gets thrown and he lands beside you in the pool of blood. There's an awakard brief reunion before you realize you need to try and use your quirk on Zanshu and the invisible man. End of update is you shouting at the top of your lungs.

A/N: Aaaaaah!!!! I finally got to write the scene! This scene was actually one of two that inspired this entire fic. Hope I did it justice, I've only ever written a handful of fight scenes before this lol I think it turned out pretty good. (I can't stop grinning like an idiot because it's finally happened.)
