Fuck... This was NOT supposed to be how this Mission went.

You had no idea what had just happened.

One minute, you saw Aizawa, your beloved Sensei that you had been in love with for years. You took in his appearance, and it made you uneasy, but you knew this was an undercover Mission.

You shouldn't have been there, but for some reason, you couldn't help yourself. You had to make sure he was okay.

The next minute, you found yourself restrained by a notorious Yakuza Boss whom held you against him and had a weapon held to your head.

You cried out with fear.

As your eyes locked on the man you loved, you could see the fear he rarely let anyone see, but he tried to mask it.

"Come on, Aizawa. Come with us, and we won't hurt the girl. It's evident you care for this little thing. You know... she'd make quite an addition to the family..." He taunted with a sickening smirk.

Aizawa tried to keep a straight face. He clenched his jaw. Your eyes glistened with tears as you looked at Shota with desperation.

Finally, Aizawa grunted, "Fine. Let her go, and I'll come with you." Your eyes widened.

"Shota, no!" He looked at you with a look of determination. You needed to remind yourself that he was trained for this.

Shota began to close the distance, and the Boss lowered his weapon, shoving you aside.

"A wise choice."

Clearly, he had underestimated Aizawa. Aizawa glanced at me with a fierceness that made your heart clench. "Run!" He commanded.

You wasted no time and ran for dear life, leaving behind Aizawa to fend for himself.

You sobbed the entire time you ran, fearing the worst.

Once you got to safety, you crumbled.

After an agonizing 20 minutes, you heard those familiar footsteps and looked up at a slightly bloody and battered Aizawa, who smiled at you with...tenderness.

"Hey...Are you alright?" He asked gently as he crouched down to look at you.

You weren't, but in that moment, you felt... safe.

You began to cry again as you wrapped your arms tightly around him.

And in the moment, he realized, he loved you.
