when i read aizawa/reader fics i cannot help but notice the majority are age gap relationships. and ofc i am but a girl and love me a gruff older man, but i always think about the more realistic aspect of it. aizawa and his younger partner walking on egg shells around the topic until something finally breaks their bubble and they fight abt it. because aizawa isn't embarrassed, really, but maybe a little ashamed? not bc of who his partner is but bc he doesn't want people to talk. it's inappropriate, it's irrational. he doesn't want people to know, you know? and reader cannot comprehend bc they're both adults and who cares what anyone thinks. but he's a hero and reader is young and pretty and the whole picture would easily be painted very very badly.
i have a wip going with this premise but i'm scared to finish and post it LMAOO idk i feel like people will get mad or smth
