I didn't actually go to bed because I was tired. I decided to go to my room to try and calm down.

First being left alone, then thunder, and now the house was dark. I was feeling nervous and I didn't want to bother Aizawa. He has enough on his plate as it is.

He's a teacher, pro hero, and now he has to take care of me. The least I could do for him is keep my emotions in check.

I'm strong...I can handle this...

I curled my toes under as I hugged my knees to my chest, I kept the lantern close by and on.

Maybe I'll feel better if I sleep...

I laid myself down under the covers and hugged an extra pillow close to me for comfort.

Aizawa is so nice to me...I really should thank him more often. I still can't believe he'd adopt someone like me.

I can barely function, I have no idea what anything is, or how to talk with others...why would he adopt me?

Why would he want to adopt me?

With those thoughts swirling around in my head, I slowly drifted off to sleep.

"(Y/n)." Aizawa's gentle voice called, waking me up. I sat up and rubbed the tired from my eyes and looked at him.

He was leaning against the doorway like usual.

"Since the power is still out, I can't exactly make breakfast, so I need you to come out here to see what you want." Aizawa said.

I nodded my head and got up, wrapping one of the blankets he got for me around me because the house was cold.

On the counter there was an assortment of different things to eat, and I wasn't sure which one I wanted to eat.

"Too many choices?" Aizawa asked and ai nodded my head.

"Okay then, pick from these."

Aizawa placed three muffins in front of me. One being lemon, chocolate, and cinnamon apple.

I decided to go with (muffin of choice) and call it good. Then again, I've never had muffins before.

Aizawa grabbed a muffin as well and we both ate in silence. I quietly enjoyed the muffin, it was sweet and fluffy.

I'm thankful Aizawa is letting me live with him. I don't know how I'd be if I were still living with my dad. My biological dad.

Remembering him and the way he treated me caused my mood to spiral downward, and I lost my appetite. So I put the muffin down and got up from my seat.

"You okay kid?" Aizawa asked.

I nodded my head.

"Just not very hungry...sorry." I answered. Aizawa looked at me, his face was so stoic I couldn't tell how he felt or what he was thinking.

I hope I can be like that too, that way he doesn't worry. He shouldn't have to worry about me, no one should.

I walked to the bathroom to brush my teeth, then into my room to change out of my clothes.

I put on one of the t-shirts Aizawa bought for me, which was of course, too big for my body right now, and I put on a pair of shorts I got too.

Too bad the shower isn't working, I'd really just like to feel the warm water ease away my worries and let my thoughts run wild.

I released a sigh and walked back out to the living room. Aizawa was on the couch talking on his phone. So instead of walking to the couch, I stood at the corner hiding behind the wall. Waiting for him to be done.

"Alright, I'll head put soon. I don't know why you guys need my help when my quirk doesn't really work with that." He spoke.

Why do they need him? Is someone hurt?

"I'll be there in a bit." Aizawa hung up the phone and I sat on the couch next to him.

He pinched the bridge of his nose and tilted his head back.

"Sorry kid, you're going to have to be home alone again for a bit today. I just got a call from some heroes about fixing the power lines." He grumbled, "Apparently I'm needed because of my scarf. I plan to just give it to them and come back. They can return it to me later." Aizawa explained.

I wasn't going to lie to myself when I knew I was going to be upset without him here, but I also knew that he was a hero. His job is to help others meaning he'll have to go outside to help them.

"It's okay. I'm sure I'll be fine on my own." I said trying not to show any emotion. I looked down at my feet and I could feel Aizawa's gaze on me.

"Are you sure?" He asked while placing a hand on my shoulder, causing me to tense up.

"Sorry," Aizawa apologized and took his hand off.

"It's fine..." I trailed.

I felt the weight go up on the couch, meaning Aizawa had gotten up. I listened as his footsteps went all the way too his room, then all the way back out here.

"You remember where the phone and what my number is?" He asked, and I finally moved my head up to look at him.

I nodded my head.

"Okay...then, I guess I'll see you later. Call me if you need anything, and try to stay indoors." He said opening the door.

"Be safe." I quietly called to him, and he nodded his head and left.

That was it. Now I'm home alone with no power, there's a storm outside, and I don't know what to do.

I hope Aizawa will be safe,

I thought as I walked to the window and opened the curtain. The wind was blowing harshly, and the sky was a gloomy grey.

It looks like it's going to rain soon...again.

I left the curtain open to try and let in what little light I could from the windows. That way I didn't drain the lanterns batteries.

I guess...I'll just go and lie down for bit...

I went into my bedroom and placed myself under the covers, hugging one of the big pillows I had.

I hope Aizawa comes back soon...

Without realizing it, I had fallen asleep.

I slowly peaked my eyes opened and sat up.

How long did I sleep?

I got out of bed and went to look outside the window. The sky was darker so I assumed I slept longer than I should've.

The rain was endlessly pounding the ground and the wind roared.

It's really coming down...

The phone started ringing, so in a panicked state I rushed over to it. Hoping it wasn't someone important for Aizawa.

To my relief, it was Aizawa calling.

I put the phone to my ear and answered.

"Aizawa?"

"Sorry I didn't come home kid. We finished fixing the power line, but then the wind blew over a bunch more so we got caught up cleaning that up." Aizawa explained.

"Oh, I hope everything is okay.." I trailed.

"Everything is fine, but, they won't let me leave because of weather conditions." He said.

I felt myself tense up and anxiety crept into my body. I didn't realize how much I hated being alone until now. How much I loved the fact that Aizawa was here with me, so hearing the fact he won't be coming home tonight scared me.

"(Y/n)?" He called, "I'm really sorry, I tried to explain that I needed to get home, but they don't want anyone going outside."

"Okay.." I said with less emotion than usual.

"Shi- the lines cu-ing...ou-(y/n)---"

Soon enough all I heard was static, and I started to slowly go into a panic.

I walked over to the window to try and calm myself down. The wind was blowing way harder than before, and the rain was pounding just as hard as the wind.

I can see why they don't want anyone going out...

My eyes caught sight of a familiar purple haired boy running for cover under a bus stop.

Wait...that can't be...

"Shinso?" I said in surprise.

There was no way he could be out there right? Why would he be?

I rubbed my eyes and checked again to make sure I wasn't seeing things. Sure enough, he was out there.

But why?
