My Hero [ Aizawa Shouta x Reader ]

Chapter 8: Under The Cold Rain

* Aizawa's POV *

The sky let out a loud grumble followed by a quick flash of light. Everyone stopped in their tracks and stared at the sky in disappointment.

"Aaaah, and we were having so much," Nemuri sighed.

The girls sluggishly went out of the water while the rest began packing. As I watched them all head for the shelter,  my heart started to weigh heavily. Something felt amiss. Like something was missing... or rather, someone.

" y/n .." i murmured .

"what are you waiting for? the lightning to strike you?" Hizashi said as he let out a small snicker.

"Where's y/n?" I asked.

"Huh? Y/n? Oh ya, i forgot about her. Maybe she's with the ladies or something. Anyways, lets go. We don't wanna get charred by the lightning,"

I shook the thought away and followed him behind. We reached the shelter just in time before it started pouring. The shelter was a small hut that sufficed all of us. The guys sat on the ground while the girls conquered the limited seats. At first i was surprised how it could fit all of them,, and then i realised why.

"wait, where's y/n?" I asked again. This time my voice rose loud enough for everybody to hear.

"Huh? Y/n?"

"Wasn't she with you,Nemuri?" Hizashi asked.

"No? She didn't set foot in the sea at all. Last time i saw her, she was with...." her voice slowly trailed away. Then, a realisation hit her.

"Eee-h? Wasn't she with you, Shouta?"

My body froze almost immediately. I had forgotten the conversation i had with y/n. One that made her upset for god knows why. Come to think of it, she looked like she was about to cry.

" Oh, i think i saw her going into the woods or something,"

As if our minds communicated with telepathy, we looked at each other in fear. She left way before the rain started. So by now, she must've already landed in middle of the woods. And unless there is civilization in the woods, there will be no shelters.

The thick black clouds shadowed the earth as the sky restlessly grumbled. Swiftly, a bolt of lightning pierced through the clouds, accompanied by the relentless thunder. The wind slammed its strength against my body, and for a moment I almost lost my balance.

"Dude.. will she be okay?" someone asked.

"O-OF COURSE NOT!" Nemuri yelled.

"Listen to me, Y/n is terrified of thunder. Whenever she hears it, she gets scared to the point where she can't move. It's like it's beyond her will to move. She can't control her fear,"

I was taken aback by her words. It never occurred to me that she was scared of such thing. She always appears strong and bold. Little did i know she was masking her fear of something so pitiful.

"I'm going out to look for her,"

Just as i was about to head out, Nemuri stopped me.

"Shouta, wait! There's ... something you need to know.."

** Y/N's POV **

You were casually walking and kicking stones when all of a sudden a small droplet landed on your hand.

"Mhm?"

Before you knew it, the sky started to rain cats and dogs. You mentally cursed and ran to take refuge in any shelter, if there was any.

The rain began to intensify at an alarming rate. You were silently praying that you could reach in time before the thunder came but unfortunately , it beat you to it.
