TAMED | Aizawa Shota x Reader

In a world where Quirks appear by age four, manifesting mine at twenty-four felt like a dangerous glitch in the system. Unable to control this sudden power, I was a walking liability. Luckily, Tsukauchi called in a massive favor with Principal Nezu to get me the protection and training I desperately needed.

The catch? I'm way too old to enroll as a student at U.A. High.

So, on paper, I'm the brand-new teaching assistant to the strict, chronically sleep-deprived underground hero, Shota Aizawa. Working under him was supposed to be purely professional-a temporary fix to get my abilities under control. But between the grueling late-night training sessions and his intense, watchful eyes, the lines are rapidly blurring. There is a heavy, undeniable tension building between us that neither of us wants to address, yet neither can ignore.

But Aizawa isn't the only one watching me.

There's someone else lingering in the shadows. A dangerous, intoxicating presence who knows exactly how to get under my skin and into my head. Caught between the hero trying to keep me safe and a darkness trying to pull me in, learning to control my Quirk is suddenly the least of my problems.
