Chapter Text
If there was something that could rival AllMight's real identity in secrecy it definitely was Midnight's married status.
Midnight R Rated hero married?
The world would have a field day with that one for sure, both the media trying to get to who could manage such a thing and to rip the guy apart courtesy of those intense fans she owned.
Plus he being in the spotlight wasn't really ideal either, he was suppose to pass as an invisible presence through the underworld, he didn't need the kind of attention that would surely bring being married to HER.
Which is why only the staff of U.A., Nedzu and a few of the family and friends knew about Midnight being married.
To who you may ask?
Well, that's a secret.
A secret Class 2-A got slapped by a few times but didn't realize it due labeling it as Midnight just being Midnight.
~
-Sensei-
-If you are gonna ask me again to give you a keyword then don't bother I'm not doing it.- Cut off Aizawa Kaminari's dying plea, the boy in question deflated, forehead hitting his desk as a groan of pain left him right after the hit, why? Why was Aizawa so cruel?
-Dad this is not fair.- Whines the electric boy, Aizawa's eyebrow twitch at that.
-Don't you dare to 'dad' me I'm not Mic nor AllMight.- Stated the man sternly, Mic and AllMight were so weak with that word, always letting themselves be manipulated by these little demons after said word was ensued, but Aizawa wasn't like that, he wasn't that weak.
He WASN'T.
-But daaaaaaad.- Whined Ashido this time, Aizawa ignored them as he went back to grade Bakugou's essay, the kid with the Godly handwritting, no, seriously, Bakugou had the best handwriting Aizawa has ever seen in his fucking life.
Suddenly, the door slammed open.
-I love the smell of youth suffering in the morning!- Came Midnight's gleeful greeting making the kids sweatdrop and even feel a pang of betrayal from said woman, wasn't she suppose to be the funny one after Mic? Why betray them like that? Why?
-What do you want?- Asked Aizawa as he side glanced at the woman in mild annoyance, his attention not really leaving the essay he was currently working on.
-I was just passing by and thought to say hi!
-Well, you said it already now go away you are bothering my class.- Stated the erasure hero with a frown as he caught a mistake on Bakugou's essay, circling it with red pen, Midnight didn't seem to hear him as she all but stepped fully into the room, closing the door behind her and walking up to him, halting behind him, throwing her arms around his shoulders as she looked down at the essay on the desk, some of the kids snickered at Aizawa's visible annoyance.- Don't you have things to do?
-Nope, I'm free for the day, why wanna go on a date?- Teased the woman playfully, loose arms around his shoulders turning into a loose hug, Aizawa seemed to bristle at that, annoyance growing, some of the students having to physically restrain themselves from choking on laughter at that, because no, as funny as it was to see Midnight teasing Aizawa of all people they valued their lives way too much to laugh at the man's misfortune.
Aizawa for his side only sighed at her question, Midnight seemed to beam at that for some reason, lowering her head to whisper something in his ear, covering her mouth to the lip readers of the room disappointment, whatever she said only made Aizawa snort and shoo her away, this time Midnight complied with a proud grin giving him another hug with a playful look before letting him go.
-Bye bye kiddos don't sweat it too much a hero doesn't need to know how a tree works unless your quirk needs the knowledge!- She said cheerfully waving goodbye.
-Midnight.- Warned Aizawa which only got the woman laughing as she closed the door.
Aizawa sighed, yet a small smile played at his lips as he hid it behind his capture weapon.
-But she is right, right?- Asked Kirishima, Aizawa glared at the kid in warning.
-Finish your test.
~
-Sensei where are you going? I thought you were free from patrol today?- Asked Hagakure as said man walked past the living room sporting his tracksuit, though his capture weapon was nowhere to be seen.
Wait.
Was that a necklace? It was thin and almost unnoticeable due it being silver and matching almost stupidly well with the paleness of his skin, but it was definitely there, since when did Aizawa wear jewelry?
-Hagakure whatever our teacher do in his free time is none of our business!- Chastised Iida, hands moving in wild chopping motions, Aizawa for his side just muttered something before answering.
-I'm going on a walk, if you need anything kick AllMight's door down, or Mic, no, wait, if you need something ask AllMight not Mic.- Said Aizawa suddenly realizing Mic wasn't the best option when it came to mature behaviour with a bunch of problematic kids, the guy would probably join into destroying the dorms.
-Yes sir!
With that Aizawa was gone.
-Did you see the necklace?- Asked Ashido leaning to whisper to Hagakure, as if Aizawa would be able to hear them somehow.
-Yeah, it was pretty though I never saw him as the type to wear jewelry, maybe it was a gift?-Wondered the invisible girl thoughtfully.
-It could be, but from who? And why risk losing it? He never wears it right? I mean, we have seen him using his capture weapon a lot of times and he never wears it right?- Frowned Sero trying to remember, yet it wasn't like they really paid any attention to Aizawa's neck to be honest, who the fuck does that?
-I think I saw it when he grabbed me last year during the quirk show off but I'm not sure.- Said Midoriya suddenly deep in thought, he had seen the googles yeah, but behind those googles he could swear something silver had been shining, thought he had been more focused on the fact that THE Eraserhead was infront of him rather than what the hell was shining around his neck.
-Again, maybe it's just a stupid gift.- Snapped Bakugou getting annoyed at the sudden interest for a stupid necklace, seriously, what was the big deal? Everyone used jewelry, adults were just like that, yeah a bit weird coming from the hobo man but the fuck cares?
-Shinso you used to train with him before right? Did you ever saw it on him?- Asked Kaminari ignoring his ashy blonde friend's remark to look at the purple haired boy who seemed to frown at that.
-I think I did saw him with it once but after I accidentally grabbed it he stopped using it.
-Grabbed it? Did it had something or it is just a plain thing?- Asked Yaoyorozu honestly curious.
-Guys we shouldn't meddle in our teacher's life!- Explode Iida already growing out of patience with them.
-Shut it four eyes, well zombie face? Does it has something or not?- Asked Bakugou hastily.
-I don't know, he grabbed my wrist to stop me from pulling it completely out and I really didn't fought it, it's not like I wanted to break it or something.- Huffed Shinso annoyed, he hadn't meant to grab the necklace, only the capture weapon but one thing lead to another and before he knew it he was grabbing the thing, Aizawa hadn't looked mad at the action, only a bit annoyed, though Shinso had a feeling it was more due the fact that the thing must had hurt his nape rather than it being yanked at all.
-It must be a gift, he doesn't look like the type to wear jewelry, if all he doesn't look like the type who gives a fuck about his appearance at all.- Deadpans Ojiro.
-A gift it is then? But from who?- Asked Hagakure.
-A familiar?- Supplied Shoji.
-A familiar?- Repeated Todoroki as if the solely word was the box of Pandora.
-Of course! He didn't fucking fell from the sky!- Snapped Bakugou, yet he was on it too, the idea of Aizawa having a life out of U.A. sounded....surreal... weird....way too weird....How were his parents? Were they as flat spoken as Aizawa himself? Did he had siblings? And if so was he the younger or the older? They couldn't really see the man as a younger brother less much as an older one, weird... so weird...
But like Bakugou said, Aizawa didn't fell from the sky, he had parents, he was a kid once...a kid...
How was Aizawa as a kid?
The mental picture of a mini Aizawa glaring murder with erasure met their souls and they seemed to flinch at that.
Spooky.
~
-You know, it wouldn't kill you to dress a bit better.- Pouted Midnight as she walked besides Aizawa, hands in a loose hold, it was kind of amazing how no one seemed to recognize her out of her costume, just like no one seemed to recognize Mic with his hair down, people were so blind sometimes.
-Why? I'm comfortable like this and it's not like we are going to meet God anyways, and again, even if that was the case I'm comfortable with this.- Muttered Aizawa without real annoyance.
-I know, I just like teasing you.- Snickered the woman swinging their hands absently as they waited for the light to change, Aizawa rolled his eyes at her words.
He couldn't help but sigh in silent joy as they crossed the street and got to the cat cafe, Midnight letting his hand go as excitement settled full into her body.
-Shouta look at this one he is totally new look at his cute fluffy paws!- She all but cried holding the a light grey tabby to his face, the kitten in question meowing at the action, stealing Aizawa's soul with it (his heart and will of life included).
-Oh welcome you two!- Greeted merrily an old woman as she caught sight of her two favorite customers, it had been so long since she last saw them. Aizawa gave her a nod of the head as a greeting while Midnight just hugged the kitten closer totally in love with the cutie.
-I see you found Sushi, good choice he's a good cookie, my daughter brought him from the train station last week.- Smiled the woman as Nemuri kissed the cat's head.- Don't stand there do please take a seat, I will bring you some coffee in a bit.- Shooed the woman after a moment, Aizawa and Midnight sitting in their usual corner, the corner where most of the cat's played at, the place was empty aside from a mildly familiar black haired boy sitting across the room with a pink haired girl with glasses yet Aizawa didn't paid them any mind as he found himself attacked by an army of cats, all of them excited to get to him, Aizawa trying to pet them all at once, he had been coming here since he was like 12 when he first heard about the new cat cafe grand opening, he saw kittens grow, old cats pass away, but all in all he always loved coming back to this place, it was relaxing and full of cats who loved to be petted as much as Aizawa loved petting them.
-Shouta I want a kitten.- Whined Midnight as her hand ran across a calico cat's back, said cat purring contently as it laid on her lap.
-That makes us two but you know Nedzu only allows support animals in the dorms, like Koda's rabbit or Vlad's dog, a pet isn't ideal.
-But it won't be a pet it will be our child!-Complained Midnight.
-Again, I get it, but that's not enough, you and me both know that's just not how it works, a pet is a pet no matter how you see it.- He sighed playing with a fat tabby that was sprawled on his lap, Midnight pouted before leaning against his side, head resting on his shoulder as she gave him a dying cat look, sticking her lower lip out in a shaky pout, Aizawa stiffened at that yet held his ground.- No.
-Please? Don't be such a Grinch, it can be our little secret, don't you like the smell of danger? We can hide him in your room at the dorms, you barely leave it right?
-Nemuri, a cat can't live in a room, less much mine, fid you truly forgot my room is the epitome of darkness? And what kind of food will I feed him?
-Shouta you worry too much, just open a window a bit of light won't kill you, and you can hide his food in your room, stop making excuses when you want him as much as I do.
-I....Which one do you want?- He was a weak man and the fact that Nemuri never seemed to take a no as an answer just made it worse, plus, he did want a cat too.
-This one of course.- She grins holding up the grey tabby, big brown eyes staring back at him as a heart squeezing meow left the kitten in question, taking Aizawa's soul with it again, God why were cats so fucking cute?
-Sushi it is.- He grinned, because fuck it, Nedzu didn't need to know, and for what he knew none of the kids were either allergic nor afraid of cat's, so fuck it, he was getting a cat.
After another while of playing with cats, a few mugs of coffee and cookies they were on their way back to U.A., Midnight holding the box with Sushi inside against her chest like it was the most valuable thing in her whole existence, Aizawa couldn't blame her, this was...
A dream come true.
He always wanted a cat but he spent so little time to not say none in his own department that he just had to live luring stray cats towards him and with the ones at the cat cafe, but now he practically lived at U.A., taking care of a cat there would be easy peasy, and as Nemuri said, the sense of danger was exciting.
-Nemuri we should get rid of the box.- He said as they now stood infront of the gates of U.A., the woman still holding the box with cat paw prints.
-Wait, how are we gonna sneak him in? Shit I should had put on a bigger jacket.- Said the woman as she realized she hadn't thought about how would they sneak the cat in.
-No, just give him to me, I will hide him under my clothes, you distract the kids so they won't bother me.- Said the erasure hero motioning for her to give him the kitten, Nemuri gave him a look before carefully taking the kitten out of the box and giving it to Aizawa who was quick to sneak him under his shirt, the kitten's head poking from the neck of his shirt meowing in protest.
-Shouta, if you drop him I will kill you.-Threatens Midnight as she throws the box into a near trashbin.
-Don't worry if I drop him I will kill myself too.-Assures Aizawa as they start walking towards the dorms, they hold hands for as long as they can, Midnight letting him go after they get into the dorms' perimeter, it wouldn't be nice if a student was to catch sight of them.
-I will go in, wait five minutes and then you go in.- She stated nuzzling Sushi's nose in an eskimo kiss.- You stay silent for mommy yes?- The kitten meowed at that, Aizawa made a face.
-Why does the cat gets a kiss?- Asked the erasure hero annoyed (but not really, it was cute to see Nemuri act less like a lost flirty case every now and then).
-Don't be jealous Sho, I will sneak into your room tonight anyways, I wanna spend time with my new baby, and you of course.- Added Midnight with a smirk patting his cheek in amusement when this one grew even more annoyed at her words.
-OUR new baby, I signed the papers not you.-He reminded her with a pout.
-Of course, Aizawa-Kayama Sushi, the baby who steals souls.- Snickered Midnight before finally turning back and getting into the dorms.
Aizawa sighed and just stood there, waiting, his nose nuzzling absently the kitten's head, so soft.
-Man I hope you aren't a loud one.- He told the kitten, and if he kissed the back of his head, well, fuck it, he would die rather than accept that fact.
After he deemed it enough time waiting he quickly used one of his hands to cover the cat's head, his other hand still holding him in place so he wouldn't slide down and kill Aizawa with his claws in the act, the position of his hands only making it look like he was holding his chest, using the underground hero stealth he took so much pride on he opened the door and making sure no one was looking he flew past the living room, the few kids that were still awake focused fully on Midnight's dramatic tale on how Tensei once teamed up with a vigilante to stop a bus possessed by a cat.
And as Aizawa got into his room all he could think was one thing.
"Mission succeed."
