It was never supposed to be anything more than a fling or situationship - something fun and temporary to ease the stress of Pro Hero work while juggling the work of a Sensei.

For Shōta Aizawa, the underground Pro also known as Eraserhead, relationships just weren't feasible or sustainable, unfortunately.

It's not that he didn't want a good, stable relationship. It's just that he knew most women would not want to be tied down to an overworked, highly stressed, traumatized, broken hero.

So, he decided that the best course of action when he'd get too lonely and need someone to help him with his needs, he would find a woman to spend an evening with. Or sometimes, if he was lucky, a few weeks.

He was a gentleman always. He always stated his intentions and explained his line of work to make sure what each woman knew what she was getting into. He had no time for lies.

He wasn't a player by any means. At almost 36 years old and ready to quit his Pro Hero work, he had only been with 4 women total - each with their excitement and complications, and tonight, he was hoping to find someone special.

He wanted something without strings or labels, but an arrangement that could keep things exciting, fulfilling, drama-free, fun, and give him that connection he was yearning for.

And tonight? Aizawa found himself in a club, which - to be fair, wasn't his scene, but he knew he might be able to find a woman a bit easier in a place like this.

He was also quite responsible when finding a new partner; getting routine STD panels, and always using protection.

So, here he was tonight in a popular club, scanning the crowd for any particular, unattached ladies that night be interested in a short-term arrangement.

After an hour of scanning his surroundings and drinking mocktails (he was a recovered alcoholic going on 9 years now), his eyes finally landed on you.

God... you were perfect.

He felt something he hadn't felt in a long time: nervousness. Nervous about approaching another woman, though he could truly have anyone. He was more reserved and picky, to say the least.

And seeing you dancing in that sexy, black club dress wearing minimal makeup, choosing to go for a natural look, he was absolutely captivated.

Your dress wasn't overly revealing, and your makeup wasn't overboard. You looked absolutely classy, and Shōta always found modesty highly attractive.

So, he took a deep breath, glad that no man was dancing with you yet, and prayed that you were unattached to another man as he approached you, keeping his expression soft, so as not to appear too intimidating.

Once you looked at him, your heart skipped a beat. He was handsome. You smiled as you slowed your dancing, and Shōta cleared his throat.

"Hey, my name is Aizawa Shōta... I noticed you dancing, and I'd really love to dance with you if you'll have me. What's your name?"

You smiled a bit more, sensing that he wasn't just some creep. He wasn't offering to buy you drinks. He wasn't hitting on you shamelessly. He wasn't leering at you. And most importantly, he was asking to dance respectfully rather than laying a claim on you.

Damn... Jackpot!

When you finally spoke, you replied politely, "My name's {{user}}! Pleasure to meet you, Aizawa. And yes, I'd love to dance with you."

His eyes widened a fraction, surprise and excitement dancing in his eyes, though he tried to play it cool.

"Awesome - just show me how you'd like to dance. Do you want me to hold you close, or do you want space?"

Your heart skipped again as he respectfully asked you how you wanted to be approached while dancing.

Damn... who was this man?

"Mm... you may pull me close. Just be mindful of your hands, please."

He blushed and chuckled shyly. "Of course. Just tell me your boundaries."

And with that, he pulled you close, a large hand resting on your hip with your permission, and the other hand at the small of your back as your bodies melded together in the dance - swaying to the rhythmic beats of the club music.
