Shota Aizawa/Reader
Shota was always so tired, always unenergetic, and let's not forget always monotonous. It was just him, there was nothing much to it. Hizashi would often make a joke about how Shota was a cat instead of a human.
Shota slowly opened his eyes at the feeling of his nose starting to tickle slightly. He felt so warm in his yellow sleeping bag, he didn't want to move let alone wake up. Though seeing a pair of {E/C} eyes so close, he couldn't help but jump wide awake.
You giggled. "Eraser!" You bounced back seeing the man awake and surprised. "You slept through class again! It's almost time for the teachers to do home!" Your tail stood tall in curiosity as you studied your friend.
"Hm? I did? Good," Aizawa yawned quietly as he moved his arms around to reach for his zipper. Unzipping his sleeping bag, he stood as you followed his motions. "What are you doing waking me up? It better be important."
Your ear twitched and your tail swayed. Shota knew that look from anywhere. "Come to the mall with me!!! I know you don't like crowded places, but there's this place I want to go to! You'll like it too, don't you worry!" Shota couldn't help but notice how pink your sheets were with a slight bounce in your step.
Shota glared at you, though not on purpose. Sure he didn't want to be woken up for something so stupid, but he felt a little insecure and shy about doing this. Especially since he always had that urge to pet you behind your ears and groom your tail. His insecurity and tiny obsession turned to a glare, which caused you to give a look of sadness and pout.
"You could have said no," you said, ears falling back and tail lowering. "I guess I'll ask Nemuri or Hizashi. Have a good weekend, Shota!"
Just as fast as you grew sad, you were back to your cheerful demeanor and attitude. Your ears rose again as did your tail. "Oh! I might ask Mister Nezu! We could go to that grooming shop!"
"I never said no," Shota said quickly before you hopped away. "I want to go. Hizashi said there was a new sushi place inside the food court."
Your eyes lit up, your pupils expanding. "Really? Oh my god! Yes!" You did a little dance and Shota had to fight his smile. The way to it tail whipped around and your ears moved around, he was fighting so much self control to pet you.
"We should get changed then go," you said, which snapped the man out of his trance. "We should meet back up in... thirty minutes? Sound good?" You never seemed to have your smile faulter as you looked at the man.
"Sure," Shota said with a huff, reaching up to rub the back of his neck. "Thirty minutes."
"Good! See you then, Shota! And remember, brush your hair again! And to use your eye drops!" And with that you bounded off with a slight pink hue painted across your cheeks.
Shota watched as you left. He smiled slightly as he thought how soft your fur would be. Nezu's fur was always so soft yet it was so much shorter than yours. He wondered...

"Shota!"
Shota turned around to the call of his name to see the feline hero blinding towards him. His eyes grew a little seeing how fast you were running. He took a step to the side right as you leaped for him.
You landed on all fours and turned around with your back arched. "HEY! I was going to give you a hug!" You hissed, ears back and tail struggle up.
"I don't feel like being tackled for a hug," Shota said bluntly. "And hugs aren't my thing."
You stood up and brushed yourself off, ears and tail now relaxed. "Humph! Rude!" You looked up at him then smiled yet again as if you didn't just look like you were about to kill the hero. "I'll drive!"
Shota shrugged. "Go ahead, just don't get us killed."
You lead the man to your car, hopping in. On the way to the mall was a comfortable silence. There was no music playing yet neither of you talked either. It made you both relax and enjoy the view through the car window.
"Shota," you said, deciding to break the silence. "I have a question."
Shota glanced over to you, seeing how you looked serious. The way the end of your tail flicked up and fall down, the way your ear twitched towards his direction, he could tell something was on your mind. He turned his head completely and crossed his arms.
"And that is?" Shota rose an eyebrow, wanting the question over with. He just wanted to hang out with this cat-with his friend that happened to have feline parts-at the mall and possibly give a pet to.
You glanced over to your friend. You studied him before looking back to the road. You took a deep breath and glanced in your mirrors. "You know, I've been a teacher for a few years now. We've become good friends and... well I'm not stupid. I'm a cat, Shota."
Shota grew confused. "Huh? The hell are you talking about?"
"Do you just hang out with me because I have cat parts?" You glanced over again. "You... really like cats so..."
"That's an idiotic question," he intervened quickly. "Sure I like cats, and your cat features are a plus, but we're friends because I want to be. Not just because you're a cat."
When you smiled Shota felt his chest tighten, his heart skipping a beat. His eyes grew a little as you laughed a little. He was surprised to feel your tail graze across his hand.
"Good! I was wondering because... you look at my tail and ears a lot so..." you looked at your friend then smiled a little brighter. "Do you want to pet me?"
Aizawa bit his lip tightly to keep the soft hue off of his cheeks. He looked away and moved his hair to hide himself, which in return filled his ears with your harmonic laughter.
"Go ahead!" You exclaimed. "Just not the tummy. I'll bite your hand off if you touch my tummy."
Hearing this, Shota slowly looked back over. He hesitated a little before gently touching your tail. When you noticed how his eyes grew to dinner plates and his mouth parted slightly in awe you couldn't help but smile. He began to carefully touch and pet your tail. Feeling it made a tingle go down your spine.
Aizawa glanced up. "And the ears?" He was so stunned he was able to do this. He loved how soft and clean your fur was. It seemed to glow from the sunlight with how perfect it was. Seeing your nod he didn't hesitate to reach up for your ears.
Aizawa gently grazed your ear, which in reflex made it twitch and move away. He touched it again and the ear then relaxed and sunk into his touches. The softness if your fur and the soft glow made his hand tingle.
You loved how his hands touched your ears and tail like they were glass, so fragile and always ready to pull away. You noticed how he would flinch his hand away if your ears twitched in case he accidentally hurt you. Though feeling his warm hands made you sink into your seat and begin to purr.
Aizawa glanced down, hand hovering over your head at your purrs. He slowly began to pet you behind your ears, which in return caused you to let out a mewl. He took this chance and began to scratch behind your ears softly.
When you made it to the mall, you wasted no time to park and unbuckle. He had stopped his pets once you both had pulled in. Shota unbuckled as well as he spoke, "Thank you, your fur is so soft."
"Pet me again," you demanded, grabbing his hand before he reached the door handle. "Please?"
Shota looked over to see how your full attention was on him. He hesitated before nodding. You smiled and to his surprise you climbed over and sat on his lap. He grunted a little in surprise.
He hesitated again before he started to pet your ears and tail for a second time.
Perhaps this friendship was meant to be a little more? With ease careful touch Shota gave you, the more you began to melt into him. With every touch of your fur Shota felt like he never wanted to stop.
"Shota?"
"Hm?" Too occupied to talk, Aizawa continued his petting until he felt your tail graze across his face. He looked at your face to see you had turned around. He didn't even notice.
"You're so mysterious and closed off," you said quietly. "I find it so unique and perfect for you. I mainly wanted you to come so I could know you better than I do now. Is that okay?"
Feeling your tail wrap around his arm, Shota felt his chest tighten again with a skipped heartbeat. "I... I don't see why not."
You smiled softly and placed your hands on his shoulders. "Good. Now they always say the best way to know a person is how they..." you leaned down and Shota grew nervous. He gulped. "Is how they kiss."
His eyes widened a little more, once again the size of dinner plates as he felt your soft lips connect with his. The kiss was almost as soft and smooth as your fur, Aizawa couldn't bring himself to resist. He kissed back softly, carefully placing his hands on your hips.
You smiled into the kiss, tail swaying and grazing over Shota's arm. Your ears would flicker side to side to listen to your surroundings. Shota loved it, and he loved you. And lucky for him, you loved him too.
