I'm With You (Aizawa x OC)

Chapter Twelve

She looked up to see the rest of class 2-A spread out around the room. Some students were sprawled out on the couches and some on the floor. It seemed all the students were still sleeping as Kazu leaned back on her haunches to peer around the room.

She looked toward the main kitchen area and noticed a light on and small noises coming from the room. Looking back at Eri, she decided to let the girl sleep a few more minutes before she took her back home to get ready for school.

Kazu stood quietly and tiptoed around the corner to the kitchen. A small girl with beautiful dark pink hair was leaning against the counter, sipping on a cup of coffee while she brewed a second cup, seemingly for someone else.

She's seen her briefly when she would watch Aizawa's class during their training, but never got to meet her officially. As she slowly walked into the kitchen, she cleared her throat to make her presence known.

"Good morning." Kazu says quietly, not wanting to wake the other sleeping students.

The young girl turned to look at Kazu, her golden eyes lighting up at seeing the new visitor.

"Oh! Ms. Kazu, are you here to get Eri?" She asks cheerfully.

Kazu rubs the back of her neck nervously, "Yeah but I think I'll let her get a few more minutes of sleep though. You know my name, but I don't think I know yours?"

"How could I not know your name? Everyone keeps talking about the nanny in Mr. Aizawas home. Anyway, I'm Mei Mitsudo, class 2-A." Mei smiles brightly before she bows her head slightly.

Kazu nods her head in acknowledgement, "Ha, well it's nice to finally meet you, Mitsudo. Did Eri have fun last night?"

"Yeah, she did. She's such a sweetheart. We're happy to spend any time with her."

Kazu felt her heart squeeze in adoration for the child. "Yeah she is. I'm so lucky to be given the chance to care for her."

A small smile formed on her lips as she thought back on the memories she's created with Eri. She had made her mark on Kazu and she was proud to be her nanny.

Mei shifted to grab her mug once again, taking a sip before looking back to Kazu. "So...I do have to ask. Are you an omega?"

Kazu felt like the air was sucked from her lungs. How did she know? Was she guessing? She pursed her lips, words seemed to freeze in her throat as she tried to look for an explanation.

"Uh huh? Why would you think that?"

Mei laughs nervously, "Uhh I can smell you."

Kazu jumped in surprise. She was sure she put on enough perfume this morning to block her scent. Her shoulders slumped forward as she realized she was cornered.

"Oh...uh...yeah. I didn't realize others could still smell me."

Kazu relied on her vanilla fragrance to mask her sub gender from the world. If it was that easy for this teenager to sniff her out, how in the hell did she manage to fool Aizawa for so long?

Mei cocked her head to the side in curiosity. "You're hiding it then? Is Mr. Aizawa your alpha?"

Kazu's mouth drops open in shock, "What!? No way! I'd never mate with an alpha, especially one who has such a high risk job." Furrowing her eyebrows, Kazu looked to the ground in annoyance.

"Being an omega is not something to be proud of. Living your life hiding from lustful alphas and surviving off of suppressants isn't something I'd wish on anyone. For that reason, of course I'm hiding it."

Mei shook her head at Kazu, a small smile still gracing her lips as she spoke. "I don't think having an alpha is too bad. You just have to find one that supports your dreams."
