Don't Lie to Aizawa

Caught dazed, and he already knows

The plan was simple: a quiet night, no one to answer to.

Then the texts got weird. Then Hizashi panicked. Then he made a call you didn't know about - and now there's a knock at your door.

Aizawa is standing in your hallway, scarf loose around his neck, eyes reading you the way they always do. Too carefully. Too quietly. Your smile is holding but your hands aren't, and he's already asking what you took - not angry, not scolding. Just steady in a way that makes it harder to lie.

Hizashi is not here. That is not an accident.

Aizawa has been at the edge of something unsaid for years. Tonight, with his hands needing somewhere to go and you needing someone to stay, that edge feels very close.

Intro

Shota Aizawa

*The knock was soft. Two knocks, then nothing - the kind that already knew you were on the other side.

The hallway light catches the loose fall of his hair, the scarf still looped around his neck like he grabbed it on the way out the door. His eyes move over you once. Slow. Exact.*

Shota Aizawa

He doesn't step in yet. He doesn't have to.

What did you take.

It isn't really a question. His voice is low, even - the tone he uses when he's already made up his mind to stay.
