By Your Side // Aizawa Shota X Reader

44

You woke up, not fully awake and still a little sleepy. As you stood up to brush your teeth and change your clothes, you got ready for school. Before you left your room, you didn't forget to give Kuro his breakfast.

When arriving at the dining room, you had breakfast with your classmates, just like usual.
"Time to get ready to go to school." Iida said so you all cleaned up the dishes and walked out the dorm toward the school building.

The moment you stepped out through the front door, someone was standing in front of the dorm. When this person saw you, he practically came running at you.
It was the one boy you had seen often these days: Hanazono Ryu

With a wide smile on his face, he hugged you and stayed like this for a few seconds, before he released you and grabbed your hand to pull you forward. Now, hand in hand with Hanazono, you went in a normal walking pace toward your destination.
"By the way, (Y/N) what's your code name?" The older one asked you.
"It's Blood Rose." was your short answer. He somehow had a sparkle in his eyes. "That's a beautiful name." he commented and you thanked him.

Soon after, you two had to part ways. "Then, I'll see you later!"
"Yeah, bye."

Since Hanazono had been dragging you to school, you were the first one to arrive at your classroom. So you sat onto your seat and waited. But you didn't have to wait long, because your classmates eventually entered.

Ashido and the other girls were waddling toward you and surrounded you, as if they didn't want you to escape.
Uraraka began, "(Y/N), you have to explain this-", but she got interrupted by Ashido, "Are you and this third-year boy dating?"
"Yes..."
When they heard your one-word answer, the girls were pretty much excited about it and every one of them started to talk to you at the same time.

You held up your hands in front of your face and said, "Hey now, I can't understand you if you all talk at the same time."
And so they gradually began to calm down and you were able to have a normal conversation on this matter.

- Aizawa's POV -

I entered the classroom and the moment I opened the door, my ears picked something up. It was the sentence 'He seems like a really nice guy and to top it off, he's even cute. You're lucky to have him as your boyfriend.' This was spoken by Ashido, directed to (Y/N).
For a moment there, my movements froze and I turned my head to the group mainly made out of girls.
Then I heard another voice speaking, "Yeah, he does seem like a nice guy. But I wonder why he chose me..."
It was (Y/N)'s voice. I couldn't see her because she probably was right in the middle of this group of students.

".... Wait... What did they just say?... (Y/N)'s boyfriend?" A strange feeling built up inside my stomach and I kept staring at the group standing at (Y/N)'s seat.

But this group suddenly stopped talking and they eventually dissolved, each of them going back to their own seat. This must had been because they noticed my presence.

"What was that feeling that built up in my stomach upon hearing that?"

Silence was inside the classroom when I snapped out of my thoughts and immediately began with the lesson, while getting the previous thoughts off my mind. As I was teaching, I noticed that I was mostly glancing at (Y/N).
My eyes were always moving toward her figure.

Luckily it didn't interrupt with my teaching and I could make it unnoticed.

There was one question with no answer gradually crossing my mind:
"Why am I doing this?"

- Aizawa's POV end -

Just like always, you tried to avoid looking at your teacher.
"This can't even work out... Why did it had to come to this?" Your gaze swifted to your exercise book in front of you. Deep breaths got you to calm down and the rest of the lesson slowly went by as you concentrated on the it.

~ At Lunch break ~

Just like always, Hanazono appeared not long after lunch break had started. This time, he straight up went into the classroom toward you and grabbed your hand, slightly pulling you up with a closed-eyes smile.

You went along with his flow and followed him out of the classroom, to the usal place where you two had always met up. Sitting down onto the same bench, you started to unpack your lunch and eat it.

"Your lunchbox looks good." Hanazono said as he peered at your lunch box at hand. "You want some?" you offered and held up your box toward him.
Hanazono gladly took a spoonful out and ate it. "It's good!" He was smiling from ear to ear after taking a bite. You also smiled and said, "You can have more if you want." And so he, well, he ate everything that you had in your lunchbox and it was gone in a matter of minutes.

It made you happy to know that he liked it. "Sorry, I ended up eating everything... It was just so delicious." He scratched the back of his neck in embarrassment and looked to you. "Don't worry. I'm actually happy that you liked it."

Hanazono then put the lunchbox away and took your hand instead, which laid on the bench between you two. You were flinching a little by the sudden contact and looked at him with a uneasy feeling inside you.

"Are you all right? You were somewhat spacing out." His voice sounded worried and a frown was visible on his forehead. "I'm alright. Don't worry." But even with your statement, Hanazono didn't look very assured so you quickly came up with something.

"Actually, you know... I was on a mission just recently and I was just wondering if the kids, who were captured there, are all right."

Well, it actually wasn't an actual lie. You were still worried about them even with the reassuring words of the police. But you just didn't want  to tell Hanazono about your main thoughts. Aizawa was gradually getting inside your head, even though you were with your boyfriend right now...
"My boyfriend... huh...?"
The bell rang and with it, you abruptly stood up and made your way back into the school building; Hanazono did the same. "See you later." Hanazono said but this time, it wasn't the same, cheerful voice but it sounded more like as if he was feeling down, which also showed on his expression.
This look of his, gave you a serious heartache.
"What am I doing?"
