My Hero [ Aizawa Shouta x Reader ]

Chapter 53: My First And Last Love

Days have passed ever since then and it was finally time for you to depart from your home country. It was a Monday morning, but unlike usual it was more depressing. The air felt thicker, almost unbreathable and the drive to the airport made your stomach churn as if something ominous awaited you.

Tsukauchi took a glance at the mirror to see your worried reflection. A glumly look was plastered on his face knowing that you'd be gone for 3 years. The little girl whom he single-handedly brought up was setting off on a journey like an independent adult. You were finally venturing out to a new world, the world that had once rejected your existence

Upon arriving at the airport, you spotted Todoroki with his sister. Aizawa came in just right after you arrived. Unfortunately lessons still continued as per normal for your classmates so they couldn't see you off, but it was different for Aizawa since he was still on his medical leave.

You watched as people scurried from the check-in desks to the cafes and through the gates, each one heading to a destination of their own. Including you.

"Hey, you ready to check-in for our flight?" Todoroki appeared next to you with his luggage.

The soft smile on his face consoled your anxious rapid  heart. It almost made you feel remorse for keeping your relationship with Aizawa a secret but it wouldn't matter anyway since the both of you will soon part ways for good.

"Yes," you replied with a beam.

"Ahhhh Y/N-chan, I wish you all the best for your internship. Please take care of Shouto too. He likes to misbehave sometimes..." Fuyumi nudged him. "However! I'm sure with his beautiful girlfriend right next to him, he will be a good puppy,"

Fuyumi ruffled her little's brother hair not knowing that Aizawa was watching them from afar and without knowing that it should've been him who should've received your love. If only the world knew how much he loved you, maybe they would be more accepting. But there was nothing he could do except swallow the painful reality.

After checking in and handing over the luggages it was finally time to say your last goodbye. Suddenly at the exact moment, your phone vibrated. Confused, you opened the message to see a group selfie of the 1-A class. Apparently they had gather together just before lesson to take a picture.

'We will miss you. Take care Y/N, take care Todoroki. Don't forget about us.We love you!' 

You read the message that was sent by Mina.

'P.s. bring back some souvenirs for us. And make sure to not get yourself pregnant!!!'

You giggled at the last line before scrutinising the faces of your classmates. Everyone in the photo looked so cheerful that all your fears dissipated in an instant. Though the class had just lost one classmate, they continued to smile as bright as daylight. To be able to overcome the despair of losing a friend takes a lot of courage. They were truly strong people and you were grateful to have met them. You grew up without a complete family but they came in clutch to fill the gaping hole. Just like how flowers need pollen from bees and bees need nectar from flowers, all of them need each other to complete the missing pieces they all had in order to live on. That's why 1-A was more than just a class to you, it was your family. Parting away from them was harder than you thought.

"It's okay, Y/N. We will surely meet them again one day," Todoroki clasped your shoulder.

"Hehe. You're right..."

All of a sudden Fuyumi pounced on her little brother, smashing her cheeks against his while crying. Tsukauchi chuckled at the sight before giving you a big hug. You felt his hands trembled a little. He was scared to let go but he knew that in order for you to grow, he had to set you free.
