Work Text:
You lay awake in your bed, thoughts consuming your brain. It was 3 in the morning, yet you still reached for your phone.
Y: "Hey, Shouta?" You text your boyfriend. You don't know why you were surprised recieving a text. You knew he had trouble sleeping
A: "Yeah, Y/N?" Aizawa sent back, wondering why you were up and texting.
Y: "You ever have... thoughts?"
Aizawa quirks an eyebrow.
A: "We all have thoughts."
You sigh. You hated this part of the conversation. The part where you had to explain.
Y: "Thoughts about.."
You pause for a moment, thinking about what to say.
Y: "Thoughts that no one would care... if you died.. or harmed yourself.. Where everyone else in your life would be much better off without you? Or they'd move on.. your death or hurt wouldn't bother them?"
As soon as you sent it, you regretted it. But unbenongst to you, Aizawa was sitting up and already leaving the house.
A: "Yeah. Why? Are you having those thoughts." Aizawa threw shows on and left in his pj's, which was nothing but sweatpants, and he drove off.
Y: "Yeah.. I am.."
A: "Can you explain further?" He used his voice to send the message, glancing down at the phone with the bubbles popping up then disappearing to reappear.
Y: "I.. don't know.. I know people will care, but it just.. seems like no matter what I do.. I have no purpose here, and sometimes I just want to.. grab a knife and cut myself.. or.. do worse and kill myself.. and how no one would probably notice.. they wouldn't care, cause they don't need me.. y'know.. the basics.."
You sigh and wipe the tears that were forming in your eyes. You needed to be stronger.. not cry at everything.. but you couldn't help it..
A: "It'll be okay, those thoughts will leave soon." Aizawa turns a corner, just a few minutes from your house. "I'm on my way, alright?"
You freeze. You didn't expect him to come here in the middle of the night. You completely distruped him, now he wouldn't sleep and he'd get like an hour at most before he'd have to wake up for work tomorrow.
A: "And don't apologize, I already know what you're thinking. It's okay. It's not your fault, alright?"
Your lips tremble a bit, and you hear a knock on your door.
Y: "You can come in"
Aizawa uses the key you gave him to unlock the door, before he walks to your room and next thing you know he crawled into your bed and snaked an arm around you.
"You'll be okay.. alright? I have you." Aizawa rubs your back and you nuzzle into him, some tears escaping your eyes as he holds you. His embrace was nice, comforting, something you needed badly. Giving you a reason to live in this crappy world.
"I won't leave you, Y/N.. don't worry.." He mumbled and kisses your head. You felt your eyes finally become heavy.
"I love you.." You mumble and Aizawa smiles.
"I love you too." You fell asleep in the nice embrace of Aizawa, and Aizawa fell asleep knowing he'd keep you safe from anything and everything.
