Unspoken Bonds | S. Aizawa x Reader

v. To "Strip" Someone

While All Might and Midoriya were being treated at the schools infirmary, it was a different story for Eraserhead, Lightbringer, and Thirteen, who were all in the hospital.

"Damn my head." Aizawa grumbled, sitting up with his entire body in bandages and both arms in slings, which were also wrapped in bandages. The memories of what happened came crashing into his head and he began to look around, his eyes locking onto the body in the hospital bed not too far from his.

Also wrapped entirely with bandages, tubes seeming to go into her stomach and neck, guilt began to course through Eraserhead's veins.

"No need to worry, Eraserhead." The doctor announced as he walked in. "From the reports, you were unconscious by the time it happened, but the Nomu had Lightbringer's stomach in his jaws, which is why you see all the tubing. However, it appears that she tried defending herself by only transforming her insides into a sun, so while her skin and a bit of flesh took damage, her vital organs are relatively okay. The skin on her neck was decayed and her ribs were broken, but none of her wounds are fatal whatsoever." The doctor explained, Aizawa's guilt not leaving, but he did feel relief knowing that she'd survive.

While he hated to ask, he needed to know. "What else happened to her?" The doctor let out a quiet sigh, looking towards the woman before looking back at Aizawa.

"The only other thing that happened is some minor brain damage, nothing lethal, but there is some from when the Nomu rammed its beak at her. We don't know when she'll wake up quite yet either. As for All Might, he took the least amount of damage, and Thirteen is on the floor above, not in the best of shape. Last I heard, all of the students are just fine." Knowing that the students were okay and All Might didn't take much damage was a relief, but knowing that Thirteen wasn't in great shape and everything that had happened to [L/n], he wasn't that joyful.

"U.A.'s classes were cancelled for today and they start up again tomorrow. With your injuries, I highly suggest taking a few days off, Eraserhead." With those words, the doctor left. Aizawa looked back towards the sleeping woman on the bed aside his and let out a heavy breath.

"So the Nomu had you in his jaws? Damnit, I'm surprised you're still alive. Then again, you were probably too stubborn to die." He mumbled quietly under his breath, grateful she was still alive. "I've never heard of you only changing your insides though, then again, with so many people around you probably couldn't fully change without hurting someone else." After realizing the time and the fact it was late in the evening, he stood up and carefully walked towards [L/n]'s bed, looking down at her bandaged and tube connected body.

"I know you can't hear me, but I'll have your hero costume fixed by the time you wake up." He spoke rather quietly. With that, he discharged himself and went home.

The next day, the students in Class 1-A were expecting a substitute, however, that didn't happen.

"Morning." Aizawa spoke plainly, his voice a bit dry and gruffy.

"You're back already Aizawa Sensei!?" The majority yelled in surprise as they looked at their heavily bandaged teacher, face included.

"My welfare isn't important." He paused. "Because your fight is far from over. U.A.'s Sports Festival is fast approaching." After questions and explanations were had, one student became rather vocal.

"When will Lightbringer be back, I still need to fight her!" Bakugou barked, Aizawa's already narrow eyes narrowing even more. The silence that followed was uncomfortable and even a bit scary. Though after seeing the look on Eraserhead's face, most students understood the answer.

"Lightbringer is still in the hospital. Visitors are allowed but when I left yesterday she wasn't awake yet, so for her sake, if any of you visit, don't be loud."
