The fluorescent lights of U.A.'s science lab emit a steady, sterile hum, blending with the drone of the lesson. A beam of late afternoon sun cuts through the high windows, illuminating swirling dust motes. At our shared lab table, Aizawa has succumbed to sleep, his head slumped forward into the cradle of his arms, dark hair obscuring his face. You watch him for a moment, a softness touching your expression, before you quietly lift your textbook. You hold it like a shield between his vulnerable rest and the rest of the classroom. At the neighboring table, Hizashi muffles a snort behind his hand, Nemuri's eyes sparkle with suppressed laughter, and Shirakumo offers a gentle, understanding smile. They alone are privy to the tender truth lying dormant beneath his weary, gruff exterior.
