The students had been gone the entire week for their internships, and I was bored out of my mind.

Who knew I could get sick of sleeping in? I would've never guessed.

It had also been some time since I spoke with Keigo. Once he left out of town, it took about 36 hours for him to stop responding.

I texted and called, not a ton, but enough. Enough to show I cared. Complete silence. The days after I finally took the hint, my heart was broken. I cried and didn't do a ton else.

I tried to lie to myself. Maybe he's on a mission. Maybe he was hurt. Maybe Hosu had a shit ton of crime. However, I'm a pro hero myself, so I know what it requires of you when you're on missions.

There's more down time than you would think, so I had to be honest with myself.

I know we didn't necessarily solidify that we were together. But to fuck me and then ghost me... Was not expecting that. To be honest, it had never happened to me before.

But that's what I liked about Keigo... He was always full of surprises.

So now, I'm avoiding men. Hence, the boredom.

All I had planned for the day was some errands and my daily date with matcha tea.

I didn't even leave my house until like 3pm. I wore biker shorts, a large sweater, and sneakers— fully complete with my iconic white, messy bun.

I looked in the mirror before heading out for the day. Damn girl, you clean up nice. I laughed.

This is what I've resorted to, talking to myself... I guess I am my favorite person to spend time with.

I was walking home with a couple grocery bags in hand when a TV screen inside of my favorite little tea shop caught my attention.

My eyes widened and I rushed inside.

No no no...

*Breaking News: ATTACK ON HOSU CITY**

My heart started to break and my palms sweated with worry. The news flashed of fires and crumbling buildings.

Suddenly, a picture of Stain: The Hero Killer flashed on the screen. There have been sightings of him in Hosu, along with sightings of Nomus.

So many of our students are interning there. What if... what if they're not safe?

I felt my phone buzz.

Midoriya... he sent me... his location?

My eyes widened in horror as I pieced together what it meant. He's in danger.

I dropped my bags and ran out of the coffee shop, trying to hold in my sobs.

As the brisk night air hit me, I buried my face in my hands, trying to control the panic racing through me.

Fuck, what do I do? It's hours away. Even if I tried to fly, it's too far. I can't fly for that long.

THINK, Y/N.

Shit, Keigo is in Hosu. I have to call him. He needs to help Midoriya.

I called the number, despite my biggest regrets... No answer which I should've guessed. But I had to try.

Stay safe, Midoriya. And everyone else, who I'm sure has found their way into trouble as well.

After this week, I couldn't handle the thought of one of my students getting hurt.... Or killed.

I was in the middle of the sidewalk now, a hopeless, sobbing mess. The last thing I wanted was to be alone.

**Aizawa's POV**

I got up from the couch once I heard a knock on my door. I had been glued to TV, watching the updates in Hosu.

Tonight, they're heroes. All I can do is trust them.

I opened the door.

"Y-y/n," I stuttered, shocked by her presence. Her face was red and swollen and tear-stained. Her eyes were full of sadness, a kind of emptiness I had never seen in her before.

Her words came out shakily, "S-shota. I didn't know where to go." She was avoiding eye contact with me.

She pulled out her phone and showed me Midoriya's text while bursting into tears.

So she received it too? He probably sent it to everyone in his phone hoping someone in Hosu would see it. Smart kid.

She's too kind for this world.

I pulled her tightly into my arms and began to stroke her hair. "It's ok, y/n. I'm here. You're safe," I whispered as I nuzzled my head into her hair.

I realized she was shivering and brought her inside.

"Sit," I ushered, handing her a blanket. "I'll make some tea."

Her eyes glazed over to the TV, watching intensely.

She looked over at me, her beautiful eyes staring deeply, "How do you do this? How do you not absolutely break to pieces?"

I walked over to her with a mug in hand and sat down. I stretched my arm around her, pulling her into me, "You've trained them so well, Y/n. I know it's hard, but you just have to trust them."

She leaned into me, swinging her legs over mine, and curled up in a ball, right in my lap. I felt her breathing begin to slow as I rubbed her back and held her tightly.

I've missed you so much, y/n. Being here with you, it feels so right.

We stayed there for hours. Her head was buried in my chest, but I left the news on so she could listen.

Things began to die down in Hosu city. Stain was captured. Nomus were defeated. But, most importantly, we received confirmation that our students were safe.

She began to sit up and slowly moved her legs off me. "I'm sorry for barging in like this and ruining your evening."

"Y/n, you are always welcome. I would actually love nothing more than to have you barge in every night," I laughed softly.

She was blushing, but instead of looking away, she looked frantically in my eyes. The tears slowly returning.

"Shota, do you mean that? Really, truly mean that?"

"Yes, more than you'll ever know."

Her eyes moved from my eyes and to my lips. She stared, and slightly bit her bottom lip.

"Y/n," I whispered.

She quickly pulled me into her grasp and met me with her lips. We lingered, enjoying the familiar warmth.

She retreated. Hesitantly looking at me, waiting for me to respond.

I lightly grabbed her face in my hands, caressing her cheek before returning my lips to hers. Her lips were so soft. So welcoming.

She opened her mouth a bit more, allowing just enough room for my tongue to slide in. Our mouths moved effortlessly together.

She pulled me closer and wrapped her arms around my neck, letting her hands freely roam through my hair. She gently bit on my bottom lip, and I couldn't help but let out a moan.

I had wanted this for so long, but I had no idea that she wanted it too. Now, though, the desire she still held for me was undeniable.

She began to kiss me down my cheek, to my jawline, and finally my neck. Her soft kiss and small bites leaving me intoxicated.

I love you, y/n. I love you so much... Say it, Shota. I have to say it.

Suddenly, she quickly pulled away.

"I-I can't do this. I can't do this again." She stood up and began to rush to the door.

"Y/n, wait! Don't go. Please."

Her eyes looked at me defeatedly, "We've done this before Shota. We know how this ends." She paused, "You just don't want me the same way I want you."

With that she rushed out of the door.

Do something, Shota. Fucking do something.
