@dedicateyourheartsforhumanity yES YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN I saw this request come in and I started typing so feverishly because I love this idea!! Like okok Midnight and Mic would make the best wingmen ever and you cannot change my mind on this. Thank you for this ask I had fun writing this and I hope it’s kinda what you were going for! Sorry it got a little long I got kinda carried away but I was so invested in the storyline LOL OOPS
To see more of my content, here is my MASTERLIST
Characters: Shota Aizawa {feat. Midnight and Mic}
Warnings: Drinking (all characters are of legal drinking age), mild language
Midnight and Mic peered down at Aizawa’s sleeping figure curled up in his puffy, yellow sleeping bag
He was starting to become hopeless, sleeping the day away the moment he was finished teaching class and even sometimes when he wasn’t, skipping meals, neglecting paperwork and reports until the night before they’re due and then staying up until the ungodly hours of the morning to finish them
While Aizawa had always acted in such ways to some degree, Mic and Midnight could tell that it was starting to get worse and worse with the loss of motivation and decline in his health as a direct result of his increasing tendency to oversleep
The reasoning behind it was simple; Aizawa was lonely
He would never admit it, claiming that he didn’t care for dating and had no desire to change his lifestyle to cater to someone else, but his colleagues could see right through his lies and excuses especially when Eri came to UA and he bent over backwards to make sure she had everything she needed
Aizawa was never exactly a popular kid growing up, and his generally disinterested nature as an adult didn’t translate over well into relationships either
He had been on a few dates before, but there was never any chemistry present between Aizawa’s indifferent attitude and his dates’ skeptical glances at his bloodshot eyes and scarred face
At least, not until he mentions that he works as a teacher at UA high, then suddenly his dates are interested because he must be a pro hero! and what’s your quirk? followed by how have I never heard of you?!
It was for reasons exactly like that that he preferred to work as an underground hero, and now he faced the insecurity that nobody would ever like him for him and only for his now backseat title as a Pro Hero and the paycheck that wasn’t all it was cracked up to be
At least, that was until he met you
“I’m serious Eraser, you’ll love her!” Midnight insisted, yanking Aizawa to his feet from his previous spot laid out on the floor and slinging an arm around his shoulders
He scoffed and crossed his arms over his chest
“I’m serious! She acts like she hates everything, she’s perfect for you!”
Aizawa shot her a glare, then asked, “Have you even asked her about it yet?”
Midnight pressed her lips together, “Well...no...but I knew that you’d take more convincing even though she’s tough to crack, so I figured that I’d start with you!”
“I’m not interested.” Aizawa deadpanned, grabbing her wrist and peeling her arm away from his shoulders
“Come on, man! You should just go, what’s the worst that could happen?” Mic’s voiced boomed from across the teacher’s lounge
“I lose 2 or 3 hours of my life that I’ll never get back.” Aizawa replied shortly
The two continued to argue with him, but Aizawa wasn’t listening...he had unfurled his sleeping bag once again and was zipping it up around his head happily
Using his quirk, Mic screeched out a loud, “SHOTAAAAAAA” that rattled the room around them and didn’t cease until Aizawa groaned, then yelled over the noise, “If I go on this stupid blind date will you shut up and let me sleep?”
Midnight and Mic exchanged excited grins as the first phase of their setup plan was a success
Midnight called you up later that evening, and after some back and forth with her you finally agreed to humor your hot shot best friend and go on the blind date with this Aizawa guy
Finally, Friday night rolled around and Aizawa found himself standing outside of the bar that Midnight had given him the address for, then checked the watch on his left wrist that read 7:28, meaning he was two minutes early to be meeting you here
He wore a dark maroon button up with the sleeves rolled up casually over his forearms that was tucked into a pair of black slacks and secured around the waist with a black belt and his usually gangly long hair had been swept back into a bun that hung at the nape of his neck
“Shota Aizawa?” A voice called out behind him
He turned around and drank in the sight of you, clad in a plain black dress that clung to you in all of the right places and came down to about your mid-thigh, and a pair of strappy black heels over your feet that allowed the red colored nail polish to poke out, which he noticed matched your perfectly manicured nails
He quietly sucked in a breath, admitting to himself that he would at least be with someone for the night that was breathtaking if nothing else
“You must be (y/n) (l/n).” He greeted you politely
“In the flesh!” You chuckled
The introduction was awkward, but something about the way you didn’t take it too seriously made the corner of his lip turn up slightly, but only for a moment, until he shoved the anticipation for the evening he was starting to feel back deep inside of him
He offered out his arm for you to take and once your hand was secured around his bicep you two made your way inside
You found two empty seats at the bar and got yourselves settled and your first round of drinks ordered
“So, Midnight swore to me up and down that you’d be the woman of my dreams.” Aizawa said with a hint of sarcasm, watching as your eyes widened at the statement as you took a hearty sip off of the top of your drink
“Well, Midnight says a lot of things. She told me you work with her, so I’m sure you know all about that. You must be some type of fancy pro or something if you’re working at UA.”
Aizawa raised his eyebrows at the comment as he copied you in taking a sip of his drink...this was quickly going the one direction he didn’t want it to
“Yeah, something like that, though teaching is more of a priority for me these days.”
You nodded at his words, then spat out, “Let me guess, you’re gonna want a cookie or something for being some major quirk master or whatever that thinks you can pull anyone you want just because you probably do the bare minimum for your job description sometimes.”
You were taken aback when he chuckled, swirling the dark whiskey in his glass... normally the guys Midnight set you up with were hunks of muscle with no real personality that thought they could get you in bed by flexing their muscles a little and mentioning their job title, but Aizawa seemed different
“Definitely not, I work underground because I hate the attention of this line of work and being associated with people that treat their professions like a game. Quite frankly, I’d rather be sleeping anyway.”
His voice was monotone and he seemed like he’d rather be doing almost anything else than indulging on an evening of drinking with you, but something about his coldness and blatant disregard for his hero work made you so drawn to him
You sat up in you stool a little straighter and swung your legs to the side so you were facing him with your left arm slung lazily over the back of your seat
“Huh, Midnight finally got me a date with a guy that isn’t a total jackass. Well, actually you do kind of seem like a jackass...but my kind of jackass...not a jackass jackass. Besides, I get it, if I wasn’t out here with you tonight I’d probably be getting ready for bed in about twenty minutes.” You rambled on to him before taking a few large gulps of your gin and tonic
Aizawa could hardly believe his ears- you had called him your type?? For not wanting to go on about his Pro Hero work??? And admitting he’d rather be sleeping??? Then you agreed????
WHO WERE YOU AND WHERE HAD YOU BEEN ALL OF HIS LIFE
“What about you? What do you do for work?” Aizawa asked, suddenly very interested in you
“I take pictures for a local newspaper, and I also work at a cafe not far from here on the side too. Nothing crazy, but it’s what I like doing.” You shrugged
“Maybe I could come get coffee from you sometime while you’re working, as long as it isn’t the kind of stuff that tastes like crap.” Aizawa offered
“It’s really good, but I’d burn the coffee grounds just for you.” You joked, making Aizawa laugh, which he found you coaxed out of him easily...way too easily
The night carried on and you and Aizawa had a few more drinks and slowly opened up more and more to each other, you both finding that you were sharing way more with each other than you would have normally ever allowed
Finally, at around 10:00, Aizawa paid for the evening and the two of you left the bar feeling a little fuzzy in the head but overall happy with the date
Aizawa walked you home with your hands gripped securely around his arm to keep you steady as you went, and you both exchanged numbers at your doorstep and agreed to see each other again sometime in the near future
A few minutes after Aizawa stepped into his own apartment and was getting ready to settle down for the evening, his phone buzzed and he glanced at the bright screen to see a text from your number that read Thanks for a great night, your name is going into my phone as jackass from Friday night and it’ll only get promoted to your actual name if you treat me to more booooooze...also I work Monday morning 6-12 if you wanna swing by for your bad coffee
Aizawa chuckled at your message and replied that he’d see you Monday and he’d better not be disappointed in the drink you make him and that he’d text you soon to figure out another night to get drinks, then screenshotted the mini conversation and texted it to Midnight and Mic with nothing to accompany the photo but the word fine.
