Chapter Text
Aizawa sighed as he made his way to the Dorms to make sure everyone has left the living room and went back to their rooms since it was nearly thirty minutes passed curfew, he was late on checking since he had been busy grading papers and making lesson plans for the next day and then having to check on both Eri and Hitoshi. Eri had been fast asleep in her bed that was covered in kitten patterns and hello kitty themed pillows and blankets. Her walls were painted a soft pink with kitten painting that Awaiza had allowed her to paint on the wall.
Hitoshi was on his phone, the boy own room was plain and had purple here and there, he wasn't big on decoration, he only had some colorful items because of Eri. The boy's insomnia was kicking in and Aizawa understood since he delt with own insomnia " try to get an hour in " he told the boy who nodded, eye bags deep under his eyes. He had gotten custody of the purple head boy when a month ago after he had gotten Eri after the overhaul intendents. Aizawa in the beginning of the year had gone to the boy house wanting to ask permission to train their son for the hero course.
Hitoshi reminded Him of his younger self, having a quirk that didn't seem to fit hero work, everyone looking down on him and calling him a villain, he didn't know what he would have down if not for Nemuri, hizashi and Obora, He feared he may have went down a wrong path even.
The mother had let him in, she had looked out of it, her eyes red, he could tell she was on something, Aizawa eyes had narrowed at that but said nothing. It was then he had met the boyfriend who he imminently took a dislike to, the man was an asshole and spoke for Hitoshi mother. It had been then that Hitoshi had appeared in the door way not paying attention and was clearly headed to the kitchen for something, but all it took was for him to see the bruise on the boy face, Aizawa knew he had been punched, he seen enough bruise to realize it.
Aizawa knew it had been the boyfriend, Hitoshi didn't even have to say anything, after a lot of convincing and another month of Hitoshi not letting him help, Hitoshi finally admitted to it making it easier for Awaiza and Nedzu to take custody of the boy. It had been a rocky start and still more to come.
After that he would make sure the living room and kitchen area then he could return to his own room and maybe catch up some sleep, (not likely) the shaggy man sighed once again as he entered the kitchen and found no one in them which was a relief, he didn't have to tell anyone off yet.
Aizawa made his way to the living room area, he knew Mina and Kaminari always liked to stay up and watch movies and eat snacks. he had caught them more than once and even had to put them in detention once when he had sent them to bed only for them to get back up after he had left. The only reason he had caught them the second time was because he had left his papers on the kitchen counter and had come back five minutes later after walking to his room and found the two back in front of the T.V with popcorn.
He had wrapped them both up in his scarf and dragged them to his office and gave them an earful and detention for the next day and made an example out of them to the rest of the class. After that he rarely found anyone after curfew. Aizawa walked into the room and found the T.V on but it was just on commercial about some stupid hair product and claiming that even All Might uses it, he sighed tiredly.
Aizawa walked around the couch finding none other than Kaminari Denki who had fallen asleep on the couch with a book on his chest and what was clearly homework on the coffee table. Aizawa shifted through the papers, he could see the blonde had done a good bit of it before he must have fell asleep. Aizawa decided he wouldn't give the boy detention considering he had just fallen asleep and missed curfew by accident and no one had woken the boy up it seemed.
The commercial changed to a music program something about singers getting a chance to shine, he didn't know since he only ever watched the news. He didn't watch many shows unless they had a cat in them. But other than that, he was too busy with hero work and his job as a teacher, besides he didn't need to watch T.V he had Nemuri and Hizashi who like to blab everything out and spoils it anyway. He could just get the rundown from her.
Aizawa reached down to shake the blonde shoulder but stopped as a thought crossed his mind, maybe he shouldn't wake him? He knew if he woke the blonde he might not go back to sleep. that would just be more trouble for because he might come back trough and find Kaminari playing video games for all he knew. And if not in the living room most surely his room. Aizawa debated whether just wake the blonde or put Kaminari in his own bed.
After a minutes Aizawa decided to take the blonde up to his own room, he picked up the homework and textbook and put them in his pockets, his pockets were larger than normal since it was a part of his hero costume. it was made to fit weapons and the like. Next Aizawa lift the boy up into his arms gently bridal style, Kaminari was surprise light even lighter than Aizawa thought he would be considering how he seen the boy eat, he once seen him scarf down four hamburgers and two hot dogs like a starving man. Aizawa had to stop him from eating more in concern he might make himself sick.
Kaminari didn't get sick, but he did end up eating more behind Aizawa back, he ate another hamburger half a tub of ice-cream and at least three slices of cake, Aizawa had caught him last second as the boy had shoved a whole slice of cake into his mouth. Since then, Aizawa had to keep an eye on the boy's eating habits. He ate like someone was going to take it away from him or was just a glutton.
Aizawa made his way up the stairs, the blonde must have been in a deep sleep for him to be able to carry him like this. Aizawa reached the third floor and found Kaminari door, he struggled with the keys for a moment but managed to get the door unlocked and opened. The room was pitch black so Awaiza turned the lamp on after a minute of trying to find it and set the boy down on top of the sheets, after his eyes adjusted he looked around and noticed the how messy it was and sighed, he would need to talk to Kaminari in the morning about cleaning his room again. The floor was covered in clothes and food wrappers, he even spotted a few packs of Raman under the mattress?
Aizawa turned to the blonde and took of his shoes and pulled the blankets over him, the blonde shifted but did not wake up, the hero set the homework folder and textbook down on the nightstand next to a music box, it looked old and was sterling silver with carvings of dancing bears and a palace. Aizawa raised a brow at it but decided not to question it, the music box looked like it would belong to a girl not a boy. There was also an old stuffed white bunny missing an eye and had stitches running around its body next to it.
Aizawa was about to turn out the light and leave but something caught his eye, Kaminari was wearing a choker, it was yellow and black with a small lightings' logo, he sighed he didn't know how people wore those, Mic liked to wear them and even wore them to bed sometimes. Aizawa believed they could be a choking hazard especially the tight ones, if you turned the wrong way in your sleep, you could strangle yourself in bed.
Aizawa undid the hook and pulled the choker off the boy's neck, he really was going to have to speak to the boy about safety, maybe he could even convince him not to wear them anymore, now that he thought about it he never seen the boy without one, even in uniform, it goes against uniform policy but Kaminari always managed to hide them with his shirt collar when Aizawa pointed them out.
Suddenly he froze as his hands were midway from the boy's neck, there in the soft glow of the lamp's light was a long and thick pale scar the ran across Kaminari throat, it looked as if someone had......
Slit his throat.
Aizawa hands shook as he zeroed in on the scar, the scar had to be years old judging by the scar tissue and how pale it was, Kaminari was only fifteen, so he had to young when it happened. How could he have missed this? he didn't read the students forms because he had wanted an unbiased opinion of them. He had meant to read them after the exams but hadn't gotten around to them due to how bust he was between his patrols and teaching and then the mess with the league then fostering both Eri and Hitoshi his hands were full.
The hero stared at the blonde, eyes tracing for anymore scars and froze again, there was a large bruise on his shoulder and the rest hidden by the white T-shirt he was wearing, and he could see the peaking od white bandages, Aizawa wanted to believe they could have come from training and Kaminari just didn't go to recovery girl for healing, but seeing after this he wasn't so sure. He needed to look into this before he acted.
That was another reason he knew the scar was old, because the scar was still there even after recovery girl used her quirk mutable times on the boy. Aizawa placed the choker on the nightstand and turned out the lamp, he had a long night ahead of him and a lot of research.
Kaminari turned on his side unaware of his teachers' troubles.
