"That awkward moment when you know the truth and they still continue to lie" ~ Unknown
The past few weeks being a hero has been rough. Nonstop work with no much time to recover. A green-eyed hero is tired, he has tried to manage to get more sleep after the conversation he and Katsuki had had about him not resting, the causes and how important it is that he does but work lately hasn't allowed. He's seen the blonde out on patrol and noticed Katsuki himself looks tired, he had wondered if that was because of the job or the nightmares he knows haunt the explosive hero viciously on some nights. There hasn't been much time to talk to him other than eyes that always catch each other's and a nod or a wave.
He closes green eyes just for a moment as he slides down the wall to rest before he heads out on his shift. A fair face scrunches in thought another reason he's tired is Ethan, Ethan who has insisted on spending endless time together even when Izuku says he's too tired, or the nights that Dash showed up to sleep at Izuku's when the greenett was already fast asleep to be woken by the ringing of his bell. No matter how much he's explained lately that he needs his rest it doesn't seem to mean much and there's always an excuse to why Ethan is pushing the issue and the greenett has been too worn out to fight about it.
Suddenly there's a nudge on his foot and a voice he's known since he was a teenager.
" Problem Child? Have you taken to sleeping in the hallways now? That's more my style then yours."
Green eyes snap open and look up to be met by the dark tired raven colored eyes of the pro hero he now works under.
" Mr Aizawa! Hello Sir, I was just trying to get a few minutes of rest before I headed back out."
Aizawa nods.
" Good idea, things have been quiet restless out there lately but you should have some time to rest at home unless something is keeping you awake?"
He sees something in green eyes he's known for years, something troubling them, something twisting.
A thought hits the greenett who stands up abruptly making Aizawa lift a brow in question.
" Mr Aizawa! Before I forget there's something I wanted to ask you."
The pro hero slides his hands in the pockets of his black jump suit as he leans back on the hallway wall.
" I'm listening."
He can see the greenett having a slightly hard time getting out whatever it is he wants to ask.
"Go on Problem Child, it's only me here, say what you need."
Izuku meets eyes that have always lead him in the right direction while cared for him over the years.
" Well, it's just that I've noticed that on the pair up roaster lately that I'm never with anyone but Dash and though I think he's a good hero and everything I was just wondering why I haven't gotten to group with anyone else at all? I .. I miss working with my friends and learning from other hero's. I was just wondering if there's a reason or if I've done something wrong that you feel the need to only pair me with Dash.", he ask sheepish, the look on his face half embarrassed half almost hurt that the schedule has been as it is.
Aizawa lifts both brows pushing himself off the wall suddenly, the look in his dark eyes one of confusion and concern at this inquiry.
" What? Izuku, I made that pairing upon your request."
Green eyes go wide.
" What??? I .. I never made that request! I have no reason to. What makes you even say that??"
