Cats (Aizawa Shouta x Reader) - SLOW UPDATES

5 ?

You succeeded on sleeping early, but at exactly 2:55 AM, your eyes snapped wide open, chest heaving up and down, breathing heavily.

Another nightmare.

You haven't had nightmares for almost a month, and now they suddenly decided to come back.

Pushing your hair back that was on your face, wet by the sweat on your forehead, then you stood up, opened your balcony door and let the cold air enter the room.

You shuddered as the cold night air hit your body that was slightly sweaty because of the nightmare.

You got the nice part of the building, where you get to see the beautiful scenery outside. Most of it are trees, but you still find it beautiful, relaxing, and refreshing. Sometimes, you can spot insects, mostly fireflies, during the night, dancing throughout the forest and kissing the tiny flowers and grasses.

It eases up your mind just by observing the nature.

You leaned on the railings, taking deep and calculated breaths, cold air hitting your lungs pleasantly. As you looked up, billions of stars are looking back at you, twinkling and shining with the moon.

You're starting to feel at peace and a smile is slowly creeping up your face.

With a final inhale of air, you stepped inside, leaving the balcony door open, and tried to go back to sleep. But whenever you close your eyes, you're still seeing the images from your nightmare.

It wasn't pleasant.

It was never pleasant.

That's why it's called a nightmare.

You closed your eyes for a long time, hoping to get a few more hours of sleep, but once you can't feel the sleep coming back, you looked at the time and it's already past 4 AM!

You pressed your face to a pillow and muffled your screams of frustration while flailing your feet in the air, hitting the bed.

You never like it when you wake up with lack of sleep because probably, you will be out of yourself, feeling grumpy and irritable all day.

"Fuuuuuuuuuu--!!!!" You screamed onto your hands and jumped off the bed. Your hair started to rise up because of your irritation and you immediately tugged them down harshly.

You remember when you were 7 years old, the same day when you learned of your quirk, was when you also discovered that your hair reacts based on what you are feeling. For example, when you are shy, surprised, or feeling any minor emotions, the ends of your hair slightly curls up. It's different when you are really angry or feeling an intense emotion. It floats half way, but not all the way up.

You never liked it at first, the same with your quirk, because it always gives away your feelings. But of course, you slowly learned to accept it because it makes you unique.

Although you kind of fell into a sour mood when you saw that Mr. Aizawa's hair also rises up. But it's still different than your situation so it's now acceptable for you.

Now, for your current dilemma. You can feel yourself deplating, the fatigue coming back. You felt like you never slept. It felt like you just closed your eyes and then you opened it again just after a few seconds when in fact, you've been asleep for a few hours already. But it's still not enough for you.

Especially because of that nightmare that ruined a possible good night sleep.

With a sigh, you decided to get an early shower, dressed into shorts and an aqua blue tank top, and went downstairs to eat a little breakfast.

After eating, you sat down on one of the couches and stared outside the windows. You can already notice the hues of the sky changing for the sun is already starting to rise up, ready to wake people up from their beautiful and relaxing slumber.

While you are lost in your own thoughts, you didn't notice Mr. Aizawa walking out of one of the elevator. His room was the one above you all, almost like a penthouse.

UA provided a room for the teachers on the very top floor of each dorm building. Of course, it's purpose is to give them easy access to their homeroom class and to monitor the students easily.

That's why Mr. Aizawa is currently walking towards you.

You stood up and bowed immediately. He stopped in front of you, letting out a sound of acknowledgement.

"Goodmorning Sir."

"You're up early." He said, his eyes are barely open and his voice is still husky. He's wearing his usual clothes.

'Omg his morning voice--wait, why the hell am I freaking out?!'

"Uhm..." You cleared your throat. "I woke up at 3 AM and cannot sleep anymore so I decided to just stay here and watch the sun rise, Sir."

"Hmm, beautiful isn't it." He looked outside the big windows and you followed his line of sight.

"Yes it is."

The sun is starting to peak out, sunlight started to pour inside the common room. You can feel it's warmth hugging you like a soft and warm blanket. It's so relaxing and you feel so alive.

And you never felt at peace with someone, just having a silent moment while watching the sunrise together.

You looked to your left to see Mr. Aizawa who's really focused on the rising sun, the sunlight making his face glow and accentuate his features. Sounds cliché, but it really does makes the details on his face noticeable.

Your eyes roamed his face, noticing the light stubbles and the bags under his black, droopy eyes that almost appears always tired. You also noticed the scar under his left eye, which you find so attractive. Then your eyes moved to his strong jaw and to his shoulder length hair. He has a pale complexion but it doesn't look bad at all. He's also tall and slender that compliments his overall appearance.

'Omg I'm totally checking him out right now. Have I got no shame?'

As if in slow motion, his eyes looked at you and your own eyes widened a fraction before looking back outside.

You wanted to face palm yourself because you just made yourself more obvious and guilty by avoiding his eyes. You can't believe you openly checked your homeroom teacher out.

'Great. A round of applause for me.'

You sighed and brushed it off. He didn't point it out so you just let it go.

Putting your shameful moment aside, honestly, you never felt like this before. You feel like you've seen a different side of Mr. Aizawa while he's watching the sunrise beside you.

You feel at ease and momentarily, the thought of your nightmare was gone.
