(Dadzawa) I'm not a cat! (Cat quirk reader)

71: Dad knows what to do now

Darkness.

I almost chucked at how it sounded.
The pain had me not do that though, as I realised why I was struggling to open my eyes.

The soft bleep of a heartbeat monitor was in my ears.

Carefully I tried to move, only to give up when pain shot through every inch in my body. All Might's punches were... strong, to say the least.

"You've gotta wake up kid," I heard someone say, "I still need you. I'll always need you."

It felt familiar that voice.

I wondered to whom it belonged.
A name...

Why could I only remember the punch so stark in my mind? I had gotten knocked out... but who was I?

Slowly my eyes managed to open.

The light was bright, the noise seemed impossible.

Opposite me sat someone.
Black hair and an unshaven face.

Memories flooded back to me.

Simple glances of caring, a pat on my head.

Writing notes in the middle of the night because he stayed awake.

A coffee ban.

Running around outside when I did have coffee.

He was always there.

Even when middle school had called because I had punched a kid.
He was still there.

Even now he was right there.

My dad.

My mouth opened slightly, though my voice didn't work. I just stared at my dad, the slightest squeak leaving me.
Help I'm in pain dad. Fix this shit for me.

I heard nothing. I just saw him jump up and felt the feeling of a tight hug around me.

Feeling. I hardly felt anything.
The warmth was comfortable, so I closed my eyes, enjoying the fact I was alive at all.

Time passed. Slowly I felt my throat easing up.
"I thought I was going to die," I spoke up. My voice sounded fucked, but the message was there.

"I'm here," Aizawa said softly, "I'm always here, for you."

I nodded weakly.

"I'm gonna let go of you for a second," Aizawa muttered. It sounded like he didn't want to.

"Sir, you're gonna have to step aside," someone said.

I opened my eyes to find a doctor.

"It's okay dad," I said, "I'm not made of sugar... I think."

Aizawa chuckled and slowly stepped away.

"Thank you, for being okay."

The room was full of people. All Might sat with a lawyer, wondering how his coworker could do this to him.

Why was the number one pro hero in court when all he had done was save the two students, of one which was Aizawa's own daughter. Adopted, but still. Maybe that's it, maybe Aizawa wanted his child to die?
Maybe Shouta Aizawa was a villain just like his daughter.

All Might watched as Aizawa walked up to talk to the judge.
He was wearing his hair in a bun, his eyes determined and almost angry. Of course he was wearing a suit for this event, though it was wrinkled much to Mic's dismay.

The room went quiet as Aizawa looked down at his papers. He was angry, why? All Might just didn't understand it.

"Two students had been put into danger," Aizawa said, "And All Might helped saving them."
