This is a one-shot based on a what if, on an undreamed wish thought to be out of reach.
A/N: This Is just a small Idea I had a while back that I just got around to. I'll be the first to admit that I am not that good writing, but I thought it was a nifty idea. A bit macabre honestly but nifty nonetheless. I apoligize for any grammar mistakes there may be as this is the first Idea that I've put to writing.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own anyof the characters from the "My Hero Acadamia" franchise, just this idea.
Its been a week and half since U.S.J, and everyone has been attended to and are quickly on the mend. Everyone that is, except for Aizawa. His wounds were the most severe out of everyone elses, so severe that the Doctors believe that he doesn't have much longer to live. That fact had not yet been been made public, not even to his students. Though he has recieved several get well soon gifts from the class.
Aizawa was laying in his hospital bed, hooked up to a respirator, heart moniter and IV. His arms and left leg in a cast. There isnt much else for him to do but to let his mind wander, somthing that he has avoided for a long time. He remembers starting his hero career as a sidekick, which is where he met his first (and last) lover, miss joke. He remembers failing her when she needed him most. He remembers the faces of those he failed to save, and those he had to leave behind. He remembers the names of his loved ones,family and friends, whose faces he saw in the obituaries.
He has been informed of his death , and begins to think of what he could do as one last act of heroism . Maybe, just maybe, he can assuage a little bit of his guilt. And then, just as he was about to succumb to his need for sleep,he realized that he has a student he could help. A student that doesn't realize that they need help. And as he falls asleep, he decides to give her a gift.
The next morning,Aizawa woke to the sound of voices. He did his best to turn to the voices upon recognizing them.
"Nezu, AllMight, I need your help". Hearing the pros voice they ended their conversation and Nezu greeted him.
"Good morning Shoto, what is it we can help you with"?
"I would like to meet with miss Hagakure and her parents".
AllMight looked confused, "Why do you need them"?
"I have a gift for them, one that they may not be offered again".
AllMight still looked confused but Nezu had that sly look of understanding that defined him. "I'll see what I can do, you have my word".
Later that day directly after lunch, Aizawa was lightly napping when he heard a knock. Upon granting his unknown guest permission to enter, he was unsuprised to see 3 sets of empty clothes walk in. Aizawa was unsure of what to say for a moment. That moment was interrupted by Tooru herself.
"Sensei,these are my parents,mom, dad, this is my sensei, Mr. Aizawa".
Both of Toorus parents greeted him followed by thanks, when asked for the reason behind the thanks, they explaind that he kept their little girl safe.
"Tooru has told us about what you did to keep all of your students safe, and so once again, thank you."
Aizawa nodded his head in acknowledgment before taking a breath. He was a little unsure of how to make his offer.
"Tooru, I want to give you a gift, something to help you in life, even if its only a little"
The few movements that could be seen from the Hagakure trio showed them to be confused,and he was sure that they would be glancing at one another if possible.
"Tooru, you know me as sensei, and Mr. Aizawa. But I am also a pro hero".
Understanding began to dawn on Tooru,and she started to cry. Her parents were baffled by this, and tried to comfort her, but to no avail.Shoto, seeing that she was already understanding where he was taking this conversation started to direct his speech to her parents.
"I am the pro hero Erasure Head, and with my quirk I can temporarily erase other peoples quirks. Would you allow me do so for you and your daughter"?
The Hagakure's sat there, a tad bit shell shocked and unsure of what they had heard. Before they could even think to answer Tooru answered for the trio,
"YES, YES PLEASE, I WANT TO SEE THEM, I WANT TO SEE MY PARENTS".
Toorus parents were slightly suprised, for while they didn't disagree with her sentiment, she had never expressed how deeply she wanted to see them. They quickly hugged her to them, all three now crying. Toorus mother looked up to wipe her tears away and tell Aizawa that she also wanted to see her husband and daughter, but instead she gasped.
"Tooru, you are just as beautiful as I always thought you would be". Tooru opened up her eyes and also gasped. Aizawa had used his qirk on them, they were there, there for the world to see. Tooru was able to see her parents for the first time in her life. And what she saw was beautiful.
Mr. Hagakure was of an average height, with pale skin as thay all did due to being invisible. His hair was a dark brown, almost black, he had a sharp jaw that had only softened a little with age and bright blue eyes that hadn't dimmed in the slightest. While not extremely fit, it was obvious he kept himself in shape.
Mrs. Hagakure was taller than him by a few inches, she was a shapely woman with redish brown hair and a soft round face accentuated by soft lips and big hazel eyes. She was much fitter than her husband due to her exercises with Tooru.
Tooru herslf was slightly shorter than average, but would be as tall as her mother. Due to her hero training she was well muscled but looked like she could model just as comfortably. She had light brown hair and a round face, just a little bit more defined than her mothers. She also had her mothers hazel eyes.
The three sat and stared at each other in wonder, for Tooru and her parents this was the first time that Mr. and Mrs. Hagakure had been seen by their family, and the first time they had seen Tooru she was 3. They were all feeling an over load of emotion, and couldn't find the words to say. This time it was Aizawa's turn to break the silence, with a slight cough he caught their attention.
"Along with asking principle Nezu to invite you here, I also had him Arrange for a professional photographer to be here, because I unfortunately can't keep you visible indefinitely, I'll let you decide whether to take the offer."
Without hesitation all three agreed without looking away from one another, still at a loss for words due to emotions being all over the place. At their agreement a man with a camera stepped in, and in the following minutes got several pictures. They had to stop twice for Aizawa to rest his eyes and get some eye drops, but the whole process went without a problem. After telling them he would have the pictures sent to their address (provided by the school) he proceeded to leave.
The Hagakure family turned to eachother, finally getting their words in order, but they all started to speak at the same time, which caused them to all start laughing. Mr Hagakure decided to take the initiative to start the conversation off, when they all turned invisible again, which wasnt strange, as Aizawa hadnt taken a break in a few minutes. But the moment was truly brought to a halt when they all heard the flatline followed by doctors and nurses rushing in and herding the family out. As the doors closed Tooru understood what this was all about, what Aizawa had done, he had given her, a parting gift.
Years later, Tooru is sitting at home,having retired after getting pregnant, she is now a mother of 2. Her oldest mina is 6, while her youngest Shouta is 4. She is currently putting them to bed and they ask her to tell them a story, and she goes to the living room and grabs the photo album that she made during her time at U.A. she opens it up and begins to tell them all about her time at her Alma Mater, about classes with AllMight, summer camp with the Wild Wild Pussy Cats, about the league of villains attacking U.S.J. she talks about her classmates, Deku, Uravity, and Mina a.k.a Alien Queen. But most importantly she tells them about a man , who gave her the most important photo from her time at U.A. She tells them of Aizawa's parting gift.
