"Because of Me" [Aizawa x Reader]

"Hey uh, All Might? I don't think this is a good idea. Aizawa already knows we're here." you said to All Might as the two of you made your way down to the training field.

"It's fine. I'll take the blame if we get caught again."

"Alright."

"Let's go outside and watch the students now."

You nodded and followed All Might down a staircase that led to the back of the school. The two of you stopped at a corner and hid behind the walls to watch the class take the quirk test. You noticed that All Might was staring at a plain looking boy with messy green hair and wouldn't stop watching him.

"Already have a favorite student I see," you joked.

"W-What? Of course not! I just feel like...he has some uh great hero potentials."

You glanced over to the boy but didn't notice anything too special. But who am I to judge anyways? I'm not a hero so I wouldn't know. You sighed.

"Hey, did you know that Aizawa, their homeroom teacher, expelled a full class of student last year?"

"Seriously?" your eyes widened slightly.

"Yeah, I know. He said that he couldn't see any potential in those students so why waste time instead of just telling them. I would have disagreed but I guess it is true."

You looked down. He didn't see any potential in me either.

"Hey you, try controlling that rabbit for me."

"I...I can't."

"If you're just going to waste my time, I'm leaving."

"I-I'm sorry..."

"Stop apologizing and use your quirk then."

"What if I hurt it?"

"Ugh. You're hopeless. What do you think I'm here for? You can never become a hero like this."

The words stabbed your heart like a needle. You can never become a hero like this. It's not like I ever wanted to be a hero. I just wanted to be normal.

"DIE!" a loud voice suddenly came from the crowd of students, making your thoughts scatter. You looked over to see a boy with spiky blonde hair and crimson red eyes blasting a baseball into the air.

"705.2 Meters!" a robotic voice came from the speaker Aizawa held in his hand. Your eyes widened. That's quite far for a student his age...

"Good job, Bakugou!" a boy with spiky red hair congratulated the boy.

"Shut up, shitty hair!" you smiled. I wish I could control my quirk like that when I was young.

"Midoriya, you're next," Aizawa said with his usual lazy tone.

You watched as the boy All Might seemed to have his eyes on walked over to the starting line. You could see his arm trembling slightly as he raised he ball to the back of his head, preparing to throw it. I wonder what his quirk might be...

Just as the boy charged up his arm with his quirk to launch the ball, you noticed Aizawa's hair starting to float. You let out a small gasp as his scarfs started to fly towards Midoriya. The long scarf material grabbed Midoriya by the wrist, disabling him from throwing the ball. Aizawa's eyes glowed a blood red color as he glared into Midoriya's eyes and pullled him towards himself. Did Aizawa just...erase his quirk?

"I saw it, how you can't control your quirk. You'd just be incapacitated again." Aizawa said in a low voice while giving Midoriya a deadly glare. You could see fear glistening in Midoriya's eyes. "You have absolutely no potential in becoming a hero."

You can never become a hero this way. You felt anger rising inside you. Who does this guy think he is? You stood up and started walking out of the corner.

"No [Y/N]! Don't—!" you heard All Might calling behind you but you ignored him.

You stomped towards Aizawa and shoved him slightly in the shoulder.

"Hey Eraser, quit doing that. Just give the kid another chance. How do you know he has no potential? How do you know he won't improve?"

Aizawa looked over to you and wore a surprised face. "You again? I told you to not follow m—

"In case you didn't hear me before, I said. Give. Him. Another. Chance." you snapped at him.

You watched as Aizawa's scarf loosened and his hair fell back onto his shoulders. His eyes stopped glowing and returned to the dull black color it once was. You sighed in relief as Aizawa took a step back.

"T-Thank you, Mr. Aizawa.." Midoriya stammered nervously while stepping back onto the starting line.

Midoriya once again charged up his quirk, but this time only one of his fingers lit up. Smart. Your eyes widened in amazement as he swung the ball with full force, launching it into the sky. The ball flew so far that you could barely make out the round shape anymore.

"705.3 Meters!" Your eyes widened in amazement.
