Shota Aizawa is in love, and he has been for the past fifteen years. Being in love with your highschool teacher isn't ideal. Remaining in love with said teacher after they're killed? Even worse. Still, Shota can't seem to escape his feelings. It's not like anything is spurring them on. Mr. Hiroki Akisuka had been dead for a decade now, and still Aizawa's affections remained. His heart still fluttered at the mere memory of the dead man, and his cheeks would still flush. He thought he'd die alone with his irrational feelings. In fact, he'd actually been planning on it. He had no qualms with going down alone. At least, that's how he felt before his teacher rose from the dead, cheerful as ever, and just as attractive as Aizawa remembered him to be.
