"Shohei." Aizawa called over from the hallway, seeing as most of his students were heading to the gym. Aizawa bit the inside of his cheek. He was just suppose to cheer him on, maybe say something cheesy like 'good luck', 'have fun' or 'stay safe' but now he couldn't because the students with his son was staring at him as well.
"Just tell your class rep that I'll be coming by to watch your progress in training." Shohei gave his father a smirk.
"Sure."
Aizawa sighed and walked over to his desk, where you were. You two had to wait for Shohei since he was yet to learn how to use the train home.
As much as Aizawa would love to teach him how to commute using train or bus or any other mode of transport, he was worried on what could happen if Shohei started going home alone or with you, if ever Aizawa was to stay at UA for over time.
He worried that someone might decide to kidnap either of you. Leaving you unsupervised or alone scared him because he worried about the possibilities of the villains finding your location.
"Hey (y/n)." He patted you head as you stirred awake, looking up at him with sleepy eyes.
"Ai-za-wa." You muttered rubbing your eyes and looked at him. Your ears perking up and tail wagging slightly as you watched him clean up his desk.
"We're gonna have to wait for Shohei today... what do you want to do?" He looked over to you as he grabbed a chair and sat next to you.
Bringing out his ipad, you remembered the red button looking app. "Ca-at," you pointed at the app.
"Cat videos it is."
||
"So... what do we... do?" Shohei asked, unsure what to do once they got into the gym.
"Let's spar!" Kirishima gave the man a smile.
Shohei's lips turned into a small smile. Although he did not have a lot of good memories when it came to fighting or training, it felt familiar to him and he kind of found it as his comfort.
Releasing stress and tension through training.
"Alright."
"After Kirishima.. wanna try me as well?" Deku smiled at him.
The boy somewhat felt some sort of comfort in this. They were nice and understanding, just nosy from time to time but this class was overall great.
"Sure."
||
"Let's go and see Shohei, yeah?" Aizawa looked at the time and saw that it was getting quite late.
He then remembered about his class and how you'd react to them. "We'll just take a peak, alright?"
You nodded and followed Aizawa to one of the many gyms they had.
You weren't too keen into letting anyone into your personal bubble, aside from Shohei and Hoshiko since you've been with them for quite a while, but you were starting to allow Aizawa in that little bubble of yours.
You shyly grabbed his big hand, making Aizawa look at you.
He was genuinely surprised, but he couldn't help but smile. He gave your hand a soft squeeze only to feel you squeeze back.
He tried not to smile too much because of it.
Upon getting to the gym, you both stood by the door, not wanting to be seen by the students.
Your ears flicked when you heard a grunting sound followed by a thud. Worry got the best of you, peaking to the double door, you saw Shohei all sweaty and already showing a few hit marks on his face and around it body as his uniform looked quite dirty now.
Your eyes widened at the sight. Your breath hitched, heart pumping quicker and quicker as you turned to see who he was fighting.
It was the green haired boy from earlier.
He was in a higher and stronger stance compared to Shohei's. He looked less damaged than him too.
Shohei looked a bit shaky and it scared you. You didn't want him to get hurt. No again. Never.
Deku grunted, running towards the dark haired boy. He jumped up to get a harder hit, his dominant arm sparking just a bit.
But you saw that.
That was a certain spark you've seen someone else had and it brought nothing but horrible memories to you.
It ticked you off as you watched the green haired student get closer and closer to Shohei, who looked like he was just going to attempt to erase his quirk.
If you were a little older, you'd have a little more trust in Shohei that he could beat this male, but you weren't. You were a small frightened child, afraid to see her brother get hurt.
You stretched your arm out, "no." You muttered eyes glowing slightly.
In a blink, Midoriya was harshly pushed to the wall even before Shohei could get to erase his quirk.
Midoriya grunted as he was harshly smashed to the wall.
"What?" Shohei turned to the door, only to see you. His eyes widened, and he was about to go to you but Aizawa already pulled you to the side and signaled him to pretend like he didn't know what happened.
He didn't want his class to know about you or your quirks just yet.
Who knows how they'll react to you and what you can do.
And what you might do...
"Midoriya!" Shohei went over to help him up. "What the hell happened?" He pretended not to know what you had done.
His classmates got up and dusted himself off, grunting at the impact. "I-I'm not entirely sure... I thought maybe it was you-"
Meanwhile Aizawa had pulled you out of sight and held you by the shoulders.
"Kid what did you do?" The look in Aizawa's eyes scared you. It wasn't as soft as they were. "Why did you do that?" His tone wasn't the usual tone he had on you as well.
"S-sorry." You pouted, avoiding his gaze.
Aizawa's gaze was hard and they bore into you. He was cautious as he didn't know why you'd do it, but he had guessed it was because of Shohei. However he could not just let his guard down... even to a small child like you.
"Why'd you do that? Please tell me."
You started to frown, heart pumping and lungs feeling tight. Your eyes avoided his as you felt your face heat up.
You were going to cry.
"(Y- (Y/n)" Aizawa could see how you were trying not to cry or look scared, but alas, you weren't that good of an actor. "Please tell me... why would you do that?"
"H-hurt... hurt... br-other." Your airway felt tight while your words lacked air. You were fighting the urge to cry and shake as you felt like you had no right to cry. No right because it was your fault. "S-so-sorry."
Aizawa sighed. It was a bad idea to bring you there. He should have just check in himself and didnt have to bring you with him.
You flinched when he reached his hand out for you. He felt bad but he went on to gently par your head. "Its ok... you wanted to protect him... yeah?"
"Pro-tect... b-br-bro-ther."
"Yeah... but sometimes... you can't just do that, alright?" He told you softly. "You cant just go on and use your quirk... even if it is to protect... sometimes... we need to let them fight."
You whimpered at the last word. "W-why?"
Aizawa scratched his head, glancing at how Shohei helped Midoriya up as they smiled at each other, saying something.
"We just have to trust that others can fight for themselves..." he stated. "Because sometimes we all have to go through our own fight... and we just have to trust that we can win." He placed a hand on your shoulder, a small assuring smile forming on his face. "And that was Shohei's fight... don't you trust your brother to win?"
You looked down. "Tr-ust... bro-ther."
"Trust."
"Tr-ust."

By the time Shohei's training was done, you and Aizawa were back in the faculty, just watching cat videos.
He was worn out, but you could tell that he didnt use much of his quirk, if he did, you'd see that little marks on his arms and he's be rubbing on his eyes more.
"Done?" Aizawa raised as brow as the boy nodded. "Let's go home?"
"Yeah... I'm beat."
Aizawa chuckled, getting his bag and helping you off the chair. "I can tell... I bet you're hungry as well..." you three walked out of UA, both you hands holding onto the two males on either side of you.
This was nice. This was comforting. It was warm and sweet and something you've never known you actually needed.
"Tr-ust."
||
"Oh look over there." Todoroki pointed to the sight of the three of you heading home.
He was with his other classmates.
"They're so cute! Let's go on and say Hi!" Mina tried to go ahead and catch up to you but Midoriya stopped her.
He looked at you in worry. "I don't think its a good idea." He told her, an expression in his face showed that he was serious.
"Yeah... bet Mr. Aizawa will kill us if he sees us right now." Kaminari joked, but he was quite worried about the look Midoriya had.
Unknown to anyone, he saw you. He saw you and Aizawa walking back from the gym, slightly glancing back to him with a guilty look.
Thats when Midoriya realized that it was you who pushed him harshly against the wall. He looked at his own hand before looking back at your back as you and Aizawa walked away, as if trying to pretend nothing happened and they were never there.
The thought that you managed to do that kind of scared him, but it also amazed him.
Your power was amazing.
||
"You're a weapon." Shigaraki's hands trace your feathered wings.
You shivered at the sensation as your wings were sensitive.
"You are nothing but a tool for us to use." He grabbed one of your wings, making you yelp in pain.
You locked with his crimson eyes as he stretched out your wing, feeling your white feathers with his big rough hands. His dry lips forming a wide smile.
"You have no name because you don't matter." Your eyes widened as he gripped onto the tip of your wing and you see it slowly decay and turn to dust.
It was slow and extremely painful and you couldn't get away. Your hands strapped to the metal table, feet chained to the chair you sat on. There was no escape.
With the injection they gave you earlier, it seemed it turned off your emitter quirk. So there was no accidentally turning it on and sending Shigaraki flying.
"Your our weapon of destruction..." your wing painfully decayed right in front of you, crumpling and turning into dust excruciatingly and you couldn't do anything but cry out in pain.
"You dont need these... they're nothing but a nuisance." He walked over to your back, gripping onto the base of both your wings.
One was still fine, but the other one was halved. Half of your wing was decayed and had turned to dust, making it impossible for you to fly again.
"You can never have friends or family." You didn't even understand why this man was doing or saying these things to you. Perhaps he was already talking about the future, the future you couldn't see.
"You're only a weapon. A weapon meant to hurt and kill." Perhaps he wanted to crush your soul from the very beginning in order for you to fully comply.
"You weren't made to have a family." He torturously held the bases of your wings, letting his quirk rot your flesh.
Your other wing just dropped after having the base decay till it was nothing bug dust.
You just stared at it as it laid there on the ground. The pain was so much you couldn't feel anything. You were numb.
Or so you thought.
Shigaraki got what seemed to be a knife and torturously amputated your wings, making sure that the decaying flesh wouldn't reach your back.
You were screaming and crying, but no one helped you. He placed the knife right beside you as he held your shoulders, pinkies up, leaning into you and your bloody back.
"Remember this." His raspy voice came close to your ear. "You are meant for nothing but destruction. You'll destroy everything in your path. And once you're done... once you're no more use... you'll be thrown away and forgotten."
You didn't understand his words, but you felt it. The weigh of what he told you. He was really really crushing your soul and your hope.
"You're a replaceable tool that was meant to Kill."
You gasped for air, getting up from the bed. Alone, cold and in fear, tears trickled down your face. The lights were off, but due to the city lights the passed through the window, you could make out the furniture in the room.
You were alone.
Shohei stayed in his own room now, instead of sleeping beside you. Aizawa still slept on the couch ever since you two moved in.
Physical contact still scared you. You grew up being isolated in a cold white room for hours and then suddenly pulled out to be experimented on.
In those experiments you were always being touched and examined. Almost all the physical contact you had pain inflicted on you. Adults always inflicted pain on you.
Thats why Shohei was the only one you allowed being close to. Allowed to pat and be rubbed against you. Aizawa was still getting there. He only managed to hug you once, which was at the mall, where you were so caught up in the moment, you didn't know what you did.
He never really repeated that action, seeing as you went back to little physical contact after the incident.
But at that moment, in that dimly lit cold room, you wanted to feel his warmth. The warmth of Aizawa's embrace. You wanted his see his assuring smile and comforting low voice.
You sniffled, grabbing your black cat plushie and walked over to the door, slightly shivering at how cold the floor was.
You heart was still racing due to the nightmare. You were slightly sweaty as a response to the immense fear you just went through and you were looking for comfort.
That comfort was Aizawa.
You walked to the living room and saw the big figure resting on the couch. The cats all sleeping beside the couch.
You whimpered, patting Aizawa softly as he didn't respond.
"You're just a tool."
You tried to shake him awake but it seemed it wasn't working and it worried you.
"You're only a weapon. A weapon meant to hurt and kill."
New tears started rolling down your face as you grew scared. Did you hurt Aizawa? You you kill him without you knowing? Thoughts started to scream in your mind and you couldn't stop it.
"Kid, why did you do it?" Aizawa's slightly harsh tone ran through your head.
Chest becoming tight, you squeezed onto your plush, remembering what you had done that day.
What you had done to Modoriya.
"Why did you do it kid?" Tears rolling down your face as you shakily tried to wake Aizawa, but he wasn't responding.
"S-sorry." You muttered, your tiny voice quivering as the voices in your head kept telling you things.
"You killed him."
"You're a weapon."
"You'll destroy everything in your path."
You hoped Aizawa was ok. You hoped he was just a heavy sleeper.
"Ai-za-wa." You called softly, patting his chest. He groaned, making you sigh in relief. Just a heavy sleeper.
You patted him more even if your guilt of bothering him ate you. You just really needed someone there for you and tell you that what the voices in your head were wrong.
"Ai-za-wa...s-s-so-orry" Your voice was shaking, wanting him yo wake up and comfort you from you nightmare.
He groaned, one eye opening to see a small figure in front of him. He adjusted his eyes and he finally realized it was you.
"(Y/n)?" Your bottom lip was out and you were trembling, eyes filled with tears as you hugged the plushie tighter. "(Y/n), honey, what's wrong?" He got up to fully face you. He stretched a hand to pat you but you flinch away, remembering Shigaraki and his quirk.
You sniffled, "s-so-sorry."
"What? No. Why are you saying sorry?" He asked you as you looked down on the floor.
When he knew you wouldn't answer his question he asked another one. "Did you get a bad dream, sweetheart?" He brought both of his hand out on either side of you, still restraining himself from hugging you.
You nodded, "Scary man... hurt me."
He looked down on you sadly, "He won't hurt you now... its just a dream... you're safe here." He leaned in closer to you, slowly placing a hand on your head to pat you. "I'll protect you... now its late... you should go back to sleep."
"S-scary man... ba-ad dream." You shook your head, afraid of getting the nightmare once more.
Aizawa thought for a moment before looked at you with a small tired smile. He outstretched his arms, "want a hug? That usually helps."
"Hoog?" You never heard the word before nor were you familiar on what it was. What you did in the mall was just out of instinct so you couldn't really recall.
"Yes, a hug." He came close to you. "Its when someone places their arms around you and comforts you." He slowly wrapped his big arms around you, letting you ease up a bit. "Its to make someone warm and happy." He pulled you closer to him and gave his usual warm smile, only with a more tired look.
"Ha-pi." You looked up at him, examining his face even if it was dimly lit.
"It helps to make people feel less scared." He pulled you up so you were now sitting on his lap as he hugged you. You leaned onto his chest and listened to the calming beat of his heart and the sounds of his breathing.
This was warm and soothing. You never knew you needed this so bad until you were already melting into his arms.
Aizawa smiled as you slowly closed your eyes to go back to sleep. He moved over and made space for you to lay down on the couch. He chuckled when you snuggled into his chest for warmth.
"H-ho-og." You muttered as you rested onto him and sinking into his big warm arms. The arms you hoped would protect you.
"Ho-og."
Aizawa wrapped an arm around you, yawning quietly before resting his head on top of yours. He gently patted you as his way to comfort you, humming a random but nice melody in order to help you sleep.
He chuckled when you looked up at him with your big bright eyes. You seemed confused as to why he was humming, but he went on with it anyway. He caressed you soft little face, closing you eyes and tracing the scar of your left side.
He sighed in content, continuing in his soothing humming.
"Goodnight, (Y/n)."
||
Shohei yawned, getting up from his bed and walking out to head to the toilet. Only to stop in his tracks to see Aizawa still sleeping, which was quite odd.
It was a school day and he was used to seeing the man up before he was. So Shohei planned on waking the man up, but decided not to when he saw you sleeping in his arms.
He smiled, deciding to take a few pictures then going back to bed to sleep.
"Wouldn't hurt to be late for school just this once."

Damn I just noticed how different my art was compared to last year AHHAAHAH
Welp it just proves that practice makes better, because there really isn't anything called perfection in art, that's on the eyes of those who view it :))
