Broken [Aizawa x reader]

Epilogue: A new beginning

5 months later:

"Are you sure you want to take this 'clothes'?" Mina said, grabbing some of my oversized sweatshirts and pants from my suitcase with a look of disgust on her face and letting them drop back down in a disheveled fashion, in contrast to the once neatly folded state they were in.

"Mina, not everyone goes to fashion school like you. Besides, what's wrong with oversized sweaters? They're comfortable" Jiro says, looking down at her outfit consisting of an oversized sweatshirt and a pair of ripped jeans. Crossing her arms in front of her chest and giving a questioning look to the pink haired girl that just rolled her eyes and continued folding clothes and stacking them inside my suitcase.

I chuckle softly and continue putting down carefully some of my belongings in cardboard boxes, sorting them between what I'd like to keep and what I'll donate. After almost a year of dating Shota, we were finally moving together. I was currently packing what I wanted to take to Shota's place later today when he came to pick me up.

The following two months after I was discharged from the hospital, I was in intensive treatment for my recovery, even staying a couple weeks at a rehab to ensure I was completely clean and keep me under strict medication to avoid another relapse. And I'm not going to lie, it was one of the most difficult times in my life but the girls and Shota were there with me every step of the way, even Shinso supported me from the sidelines and came to visit me every now and then when I was absent from school.

The incident made me miss the majority of the semester and I was compelled to repeat it, but for me that only meant that I got to be in another semester with my favorite teacher and boyfriend.

"Y/n, promise that you'll come at least once every two weeks to visit us." Mina said, bringing me out of my thoughts and focusing my attention on her.

"Of course I will, Mina. Every time I can-" I was cut off by a knock on the front door, surprising the three of us. Shota was to pick me and my things up in the course of the day, but he didn't set a specific time he'd arrive.

"Oooh that must be your boyfriend~" Mina said in a sing-song voice while putting the clothes she was folding back into the suitcase and ran out the door and straight to the front door, with me following behind her steps.

Once she reached the door, Mina threw it open without hesitation and just like we thought Shota was on the other side standing with a small, soft smile on his face. His eyes set on me unmoving, not even acknowledging Mina standing in the same room, like I was the only person in front of him. The only person in the world, that's how Shota made me feel.

"Hey..." I trailed off, breaking the silence. It was like my voice broke the invisible bubble we were trapped in and brought us back to the real world. Shota stepped inside the apartment and extended his arms towards me, wrapping me up in a tight hug against his chest.

"Hey beautiful," he mumbled against the top of my head, tugging me impossibly closer to his body. But our sweet moment was interrupted by Mina clearing his throat in an awkward manner in a sign that she was still present in the room with us.

"Sooo y/n's things are all packed and ready to be loaded in the car, shall we?" She said motioning towards my room. Shota and I nodded our heads and walked down the hallway where Jiro was waiting for us at the door frame. With a simple nod of her head as a greeting to Shota, she went back inside the room and helped us move the boxes outside.

With all the help in loading the boxes to the car, it took us less time than expected to finish and before I knew it I was already standing in Shota's apartment. My new home. "Hey, it's almost dinner time. We can unload everything tomorrow and you can just wear something of mine to sleep tonight." Shota broke the silence while he stood behind me, arms snaking around my torso and bringing me close to his firm chest. The warmth his body provided made me feel secure in his hold, his breath fanning over my neck brought goosebumps all over my body.
