Chapter 1 - Moving In
The corner of the box was digging into your arm as you finally stepped over the entrance to UA High. Despite your labored breathing from carrying all of your boxes, you stopped to look up at the new dorm building you'd be staying in. It was more than large enough for the entire first year class, but it only held class 1-A. Which, now was actually class 2-A. You took a breath and started towards the door. You still had three more boxes to move in, so you knew you needed to get to it.
Just as you reached for the door handle, the huge thing slammed open. You jumped back just in time, thanking your reflexes from training under your breath. Two students walked out, holding the door open when they saw you. "Oh! You must be our new teacher!" Kirishima half-shouted in excitement.
There wasn't any need for introductions on their part since you had seen them all in the field and worked with them a few times. "That would be me." You gave a smile. "I'd shake your hand, but my hands are a little preoccupied." You shrugged, the corner of the box really hurting now.
"You look familiar..." Todoroki's even voice came from beside Kirishima. "We've seen you in the field, haven't we?"
You gave a nod, shuffling over to the railing and setting the box down on it. You held it with one arm, letting out a relieved breath. "That's right. My hero name is Sun Ray, but you can just call me (Y/N)."
"Oh," Kirishima nodded quickly, "I remember now. You have the light quirk, Ms. (Y/N), right?"
You smiled, brushing your hair off your shoulder. "Mhm. I had to stay away from Tokoyami while we were in the field so he could use dark shadow."
"That makes sense." Todoroki nodded. He stopped for a moment, glancing between you and the box on the railing. "Would you like some help?"
You took a long look at the box. It would be faster if you had some help. "Actually-"
"No need. All Might and I will help." A voice came from behind the door.
"Principal Nezu sent us; you two boys go on!" All Might stepped outside with a bright smile, patting both boys on their shoulders.
Todoroki gave a polite nod to all three of the teachers before heading down the steps. Kirishima waved, smiling as hopped on down the steps. "It was nice to meet you, Ms. (Y/N)!"
You gave a smile and nodded, "You too!"
"Here, let me take that," Toshinori slid his arms around the box you were holding and picked it up. "It's good to see you Sun Ray, I'm excited to have you on our team."
"It's an honor to work with you, All Might. As always." You ran a hand through your hair, "I'm in room 1B, by the way!"
There was a slight pause in his step. "...right. Room 1B." He murmured, nodding as he headed off into the building. You had been told that, along with Midnight's old position and her classes, you were moving into her room. That wasn't exactly your favorite thing, but there was nothing you could do.
"Where're the rest of the boxes?" Aizawa had walked onto the top step, his hands stuffed in his pockets.
"By the entrance." You hummed, stepping past him to show him the way. You'd not worked too much with Aizawa, especially now that his quirk wasn't as usable. "I hear I'll be helping out with your class."
"Mhm." He only hummed in response. Silence fell between you two as you walked. He stopped at the front entrance, spotting the boxes and picking one up. He wordlessly turned around and started back to the dorm building.
You leaned down and grabbed a box, pulling it into your arms. Toshinori came running out of the building, passing Aizawa's snail pace. He grabbed the last box from the ground. "Are you excited to get started?"
You nodded, walking in step with Toshinori. Aizawa walked a few steps ahead, silently listening to you and All Might. "I am! I used to do some tutoring and teaching when I was younger and I loved having students at my agency, so I knew being a teacher was perfect for me." You paused, "I am a little nervous though. I haven't done this in a classroom all formally, so I don't want to mess up."
"You're gonna do great." Toshinori gave his signature smile. "Besides, you're working with us! You have me, Aizawa, and the rest of the faculty to help you out."
"Thank you," You stopped in front of your new bedroom door. "I really appreciate it." You set the box down with the others and pulled out the silver keys. You pushed open the door and took a quick look around. It was a plain room with nothing but a twin bed, a desk, a closet, and a bathroom. The balcony looked nice, though.
"Welcome to UA, (Y/N)!" Toshinori grinned. "You're gonna love it here."
Aizawa gave a nod, "You can come meet the students once you're done unpacking if you'd like."
"I think those are the most words I've ever heard you speak, Eraserhead." You teased with a grin.
He rolled his eyes, "Aizawa is fine."
Toshinori laughed and wrapped an arm around the other teacher's shoulders. "Don't worry, you'll get used to it. He's just like that."
"Get off me." Aizawa shrugged the man's arm off him and turned to leave. "We're happy to have you." He murmured before stalking off.
All Might leaned against the wall, watching as Aizawa left. He rose a brow. "I think he was trying to be nice." He hummed with a little smile.
You couldn't help the little laugh that bubbled up in you. "He's interesting, isn't he?"
Toshinori gave a nod. "One of the best people I've ever met." He pushed off the wall and took a step down the hall. "Well, I'll let you get to it!"
"See you! Thank you for your help!" You waved as the two left. You slid into your room and shut the door, falling back on the bed. You needed to unpack, but every moment from this morning was already replaying in your head. Aizawa really was interesting. You knew from his reputation just how much he cared about his students and, despite his grumpy facade, how much he put into his teaching. He did everything he could to make the next generation of heroes. But you didn't really know him. And, honestly, you couldn't help it. Whenever you met someone you found interesting, you wanted to become their friend. So, you resolved to do exactly that. You'd become Eraserhead's friend and get to know him for more than that rough exterior.
After hours of unpacking and setting up your room, you slipped into the shower to wash up. Your arms and legs ached from all of the work and you decided that this was today's workout. You could train more tomorrow. You got dressed in your (F/C) pajamas and let your wet hair air dry. After putting on some fluffy slippers, you stepped out into the hallway. You could hear the students bustling in the common room and kitchen, shouting things here and there about making dinner. You walked out of the hallway where all of the teachers dorms were and quietly observed the students as they rushed around. Yaoyorozu, Ururaka, and Asui were in the kitchen, while Midoriya, Iida, and Todoroki were setting the table. Kaminari was sitting on the couch with some of the other boys, yawning. It wasn't surprising given that the students had only moved in this morning as well.
"Ms. (Y/N)!" Kirishima's voice came from the couches. He gave a bright smile and waved, which made all of the nearby students turn to see who he was talking to.
"Hi, Kirishima." You gave an amused smile. "Glad to see everyone's moved in okay." You walked over to the couches, leaning over to see what they were watching on TV. It was some show you didn't recognize.
"It wasn't as bad since we had to do it last year too." Kirishima looked at you as you moved towards the table.
"Speak for yourself," Mineta grumbled.
Kaminari laughed and shook his head, "I think you're the only one who had a really rough time."
"I didn't realize it was that hard to lift a box when you're that short." Jiro chimed in from the kitchen.
"You guys are so mean!" Mineta shouted, "There's nothing I can do about my height!"
"Quiet down," Aizawa's flat, yet commanding voice came over the room. "As you might have heard, you'll have a new teacher from now on." He came to stand next to you, looking at you through his hair. "Would you like to introduce yourself." He seemingly asked, thought it seemed more like he had just told you to.
You gave him a warm smile and nodded. "Hi, everyone. I'm (Y/N) (L/N), but my hero name is Sun Ray. I'm looking forward to teaching you."
"It's very nice to meet you!" Iida immediately bowed. "I am Tenya Iida, class 2-A's representative!"
You chuckled softly at his passion, "Nice to meet you outside the suit, Ingenium."
He grinned at the use of his hero name, before stepping back and letting the rest of the students maul you with introductions. Just as Aizawa began to leave, Yaoyorozu finished setting the table. "Ms. (Y/N), Mr. Aizawa, join us for dinner, won't you?"
"Oh, yes, please! We made tempura." Ururaka clasped her hands together as she looked between you and Aizawa.
You looked at Aizawa, wondering what he would say. You didn't want to say yes if he wanted to leave. The teacher sighed and pushed his hair out of his face. "Fine," he murmured, meeting your eyes to make sure you were okay with this. You gave a slight nod. "We'll join."
