I know I said this before, but this place…. Huge doesn't even describe how huge! I want to be happy. This is the biggest place I've ever even stepped foot in as a possible home, even if only temporary. I feel like somehow, I'm stealing. All I can think is that none of this is mine and I'm taking up someone else's place and being an inconvenience.

I sat on the couch feeling the somber mood kick in.

"I don't blame them for not trusting me. But even in my wildest dreams, I never thought I still would be and outcast."

A sudden knock at the door made me jump up and run to it like my life depended on it. Of all the people I expected to see, Aizawa wasn't one of them.

He raised an eyebrow before saying, "Disappointed?"

"No." I said with a soft smile. "Surprised, but definitely not disappointed." I moved out of the way so he could come inside before softly closing the door behind him.

Then I just stood there looking at the ground. Like a doofus.

I swear! Can't I for once be just a little more normal!?

While I'm panicking about what to say or do, I heard his steps move toward the kitchen. I looked over to him to see what he's doing, when he motioned toward the coffee maker and asked, "Do you like coffee?"

I sighed in relief and smiled. "Yes, I love coffee!"

As he got it started, I moved closer to the kitchen and watched.

So yes, I totally feel like a creeper. But Shota Aizawa is standing right here making coffee in front of me. Do I laugh, cry, or scream?!

"You should really work on the muttering thing." He commented turning around and leaning against the counter.

Apparently the best option is to cry.

"Do you like it here?" He asked calmly.

I opened my mouth and slowly closed it again. I hate lying.

"Honestly, I can't stand it here." I said while looking at him. I began looking around before continuing. "This place is beautiful and amazing. But all I can feel is lonely." I whispered the last bit while looking down.

"You'd think being an adult would make things better. You live on your own and experience things. But when you're alone and it's quiet, none of it feels good at all." I let out a sad chuckle.

Aizawa watched me for a good minute before walking toward me, close enough to make eye contact and said, "Sounds like you need to sleep."

I don't know why, maybe I cracked up all the way, but I laughed. A real one. I'm not even sure how long it's been that I laughed. I smile all the time but laughing seems to be more and more rare these past few years.

When I was able to catch my breath, I looked him in the eye and said "You must be right. Sleeping sounds awesome actually."

He had a very light smile and walked over to the couch and plopped down.

I stared at him with eyes as big as saucers when he proceeded to lay down and shut his eyes too.

When I kept standing there staring at him like a dummy, he popped one eye open and just looked at me before closing it again.

I stared at him for a while and just stared. I finally walked away to my new bedroom and picked up a comforter and a pillow. I came back and laid out my stuff on the floor in front of him and proceeded to lay down facing him.

I know this is weird, but I've never had someone stay the night before. I don't want to leave him alone in the living room. I think he'll be okay with this.

I took a deep breath, took one last look at him, and closed my eyes. For the first time ever, I fell asleep quickly.

Aizawa opened both his eyes when he heard soft snores from her. She seems fairly normal. The only reason we are on guard as of right now is because Sir Nighteye used his quirk on her and didn't see anything. No past, no future, nothing. It was decided by the majority of heroes to take turns keeping an eye on her.

As he watched her smile softly in her sleep, he felt a pang of guilt which he knew to be illogical. They are doing their jobs. It doesn't make sense to feel sadness over a stranger just because she doesn't anywhere to go.

He looked directly at the framed art on the wall directly across from them both. Only one of the hidden cameras within this apartment. This particular apartment is made to keep an eye on suspicious individuals.

He looked back down at her, knowing she wouldn't hurt anyone. He closed his eyes and the last thought he had before falling asleep was how illogical this whole situation is.

"YEEEEAAAAAHHHH GOOD MORNING!"

I woke up with such a jolt, my screech could have started a worldwide panic. I instantly met the green eyes of the currently scariest Pro hero alive!

Seriously?

Aizawa was using his quirk and I can totally see why he always looks like he is glaring at Yamada.

DOES HE ALWAYS GET WOKEN UP LIKE THIS?! The fact he can sleep anywhere at all and be friends with this man is a miracle in itself!

"Good morning my favorite listener! Gotcha some coffee!" Even though I am still pissed he woke me up like that, he has such a sweet smile. I'm glad I got to meet him for real.

I took the coffee he held out to me, bringing it closer for a sip. The aroma hit my nose before I had even tasted it and I couldn't help to contain my excitement.

"IS THIS WHITE CHOCOLATE MOCHA?!"

Aizawa flashed his red eyes in my direction. I couldn't help but snort.

"Sorry, sorry." I said putting a hand up apologetically. Hey, wait…

My attention snapped back to him as I blurted it out, "That won't work on me since I don't even have a quirk. Sorry Mr. Hellcat." I said with a smirk. I couldn't help but burst into laughter when he rolled his eyes like his soul couldn't handle the teasing.

Yamada came to sit down next to me with his own coffee in hand. I couldn't help but stare at him curiously. Everything I have read or seen in my world, it didn't do either these guys justice. His eyes are really…

"Like something you see listener?" He asked with a teasing smirk. I felt the blood rush to my face.

Not only was I freaking staring, but staring right at him as he was looking at me!?

I fixed my gaze very tightly on my coffee. Noticing my struggle, and deciding to be a Pro Hero and save me from the worst villain in my life, he began to hum a tune.

What is my villain you say?

The Awkward.

I looked up to see Aizawa had actually gone back to sleep, but now in his yellow sleeping bag.

Does he have another quirk that allows him to minimize it and put it in his pocket till he needs it later or something? If he does, I want him to do that for me too!

One of his eyes popped open and he looked right at me. He let out a tired sigh before saying, "You really can't help yourself, can you?"

I started feeling anxious until Yamada nudged me with a bright smile. "Don't worry about it, listener. You can mutter whatever you want. Even if.." He leaned in a little TOO CLOSE!?

"You just want to have a look at my eyes some more."

I jumped up like I'd been electrocuted. "I gotta go to the bathroom!"

I ran into the first room I found and shut the door, sliding down to the ground as I felt my heart practically beat out of my chest.

Deep breath in.

Breathe out.

Breathe in.

Out.

I heard their voices that were only slightly muffled on the other side of the door.

"Congratulations Yamada, you managed to scare a woman away. I didn't think you had the ability." Aizawa's dry and mocking tone made me cover my mouth to stifle my giggles.

"HEY! I'll have you know women throw themselves at me every day..don't look at me like that! I didn't….mean to scare her."

His voice sounded like he was actually hurt. I leaned my head back against the door and let out a soft sigh.

Even here, I can't help but…hold myself back.

I looked down at my hands, and turned my left hand over when I remembered the ring I had put on literally moments before ending up here.

I inspected it a little more.

Maybe tapping it would take me back home.

I started to reach for it and hesitated.

Do I really want to go back? It isn't like I have anyone to go back to. I don't get to visit my family often since they have their own lives to handle. I haven't really had any friends since middle school.

I stared at the ring and continued to reach for it. I carefully slipped the ring off my finger and placed it on the floor next to me.

I don't want to go back. There are things I have noticed just being here. Having it as just a story before, doesn't change the fact that I met Sir Nighteye, who I know dies later on. I didn't overlook the fact that Aizawa doesn't even have the scar under his eye yet.

Knowing this, there's no way I can go back and leave them when I could possibly help them in some way.

I stood up carefully, turned around, took a deep breath, and opened the door to go back into the living room.

However, I walked straight into..

"HEY!"

I felt myself falling back quickly, but felt an arm wrap around me quicker to catch me.

"Seriously, am I just gonna be a klutz for the whole time I'm here? Forget getting taken out by a villain, I'll myself just by walking!"

I heard the soft chuckles and looked up to meet those same green eyes.

"Pretty…" I muttered.

I heard Aizawa do a deep sigh and laid back down on the couch which made me immediately realize Yamada is still holding me. Which is nice, considering my knees are knocking on each other like kids to a door at Halloween.

"You're a strange one, huh?"

The look of confusion must have been extremely evident on my face.

He chuckled again before dropping the arm that was around me and takin g a few steps back.

I let out a breath I didn't even realize I was holding.

I looked down with a slight pout on my face when he laughed and made my way over to the floor in front of the couch Aizawa was laying on.

"Aizawa." I whispered.

"Hmm."

"Did you let him in here?"

I felt him move a little behind me and glanced over my shoulder for a moment to see him giving me the "yeah, so what" look.

"Would it be at all possible to make sure you warn me. One man is difficult enough, but two, I feel like I might actually die!"

I finished that last bit with a squeak and shuddered with fear when I felt the couch shake a little.

I could have just not said that last bit.

"Yamada, go home." Aizawa called out.

"What?! I've only been here 15 minutes! Don't to this to me!"

When Yamada again started getting too loud, I felt the couch move again and turned to see Aizawa using his quirk on him again.

Yamada pouted before throwing his jacket back on and heading toward the door. As he swung the door open, he turned to look at me.

"See ya later song bird!" With a final wink, he walked out, closing the door behind him.

Aizawa sat up.

I know he's watching me. But I just…can't…

I reached behind me and grabbed a pillow off the couch and shoved my face into it.

Aizawa watched her freakout way more than any woman he's ever met. This woman is the exact opposite of Nemuri, wearing a light black jean jacket, a bright red shirt, a black jean skirt, with cargo boots. She literally leaves everything to the imagination and somehow manages to still look….

Aizawa paused his thoughts before it became a problem.

I've been single this long, I'm fine. Besides, it would be completely illogical to start having feelings for a woman who could still be a villain somehow.

Aizawa felt his phone buzz in his pocket and quickly pulled it out.

Nezu

We have gained new information about Ms. L/n.

I felt Aizawa get up from the couch, and quickly pulled my head from the pillow to look at him.

He walked to the door while saying, "I have to go for a while."

He's going?

I shot up. "Will you come back?"

My voice came out in somewhat of a panic.

He turned to give me a look.

I can never read him. I don't want him to think I'm a villain keeping him here.

I took a dep breath.

"New places and situations sprung on me when I have no one to trust or stand by…it makes me anxious."

"Why?"

His question came out as sounding cold, but I know he is an amazing pro hero.

"Where I come from, I haven't had friends in years. I got used to being alone, even though I didn't like it. Being home alone became a safe haven for me because I had lived there so long. Foreign territory never ends well for me." I felt my hands trembling the longer the silence went on.

I looked down as I felt my shoulders slump.

"I'll come back. I promise."

I looked back up at him with a smile.

"You should work on hiding your emotions a little better." He commented with a smirk before heading out the door.

What? Why?
