(Authors note: im not fully an Erasercloud shipper, i have a lot of ships for Aizawa, mainly Erasermic/Eraserjoke also quick explanation of the AU: you can only see grey until you touch your soulmate for the first time, and then you can see colors unless your soulmate dies, then you could only see grey again. also idk if i need to explain it because its a pretty popular Au but just in case)

Aizawa had met his soulmate in his first year at UA. a loud, overly energetic boy had ran into him on his way to class, and right as he was about to say something he realized he could see colors.

'oh no..' he thought. he had always hated the idea of soulmates because the idea that you were destined to fall in love with a specific person, and there was no changing it? no thanks. what if your soulmate was a horrible person? what if they hated you? there were so many things that could go wrong. so as soon as he realized he could see colors, he ran, hoping the boy wouldnt see him.

"hey. wait a second!" he heard someone call. he only ran faster, not stopping until he saw his classroom. he saw that the boy had followed him all the way. Aizawa noticed he had light blue hair, which looked fluffy, kind of like a cloud. he was wearing a brown aviators jacket and he had a pair of goggles of his head.

"do we really have the same homeroom?"

the boy looked at his schedule. "yep, seems like it!" he shrugged.

"ugh." Aizawa muttered, walking into the classroom.

"can you see the colors too?" the boy asked.

Aizawa nodded, still walking.he stopped when he felt the boy grab his wrist. he turned to look at him. "what?"

"guess i got lucky." the boy laughed a bit. Aizawa felt his face heat up.

"not really. i dont believe in soulmates." Aizawa muttered, trying to shake his hand away from the boy.

the boy let go of his hand, looking a bit disappointed. "oh.. well can we be friends at least? my names Oboro."

"Aizawa." Aizawa replied.

it was all downhill from there. over months the two had grown closer, and Aizawa felt himself falling for the cloud-haired boy. maybe soulmates werent so bad after all. eventually he decided to tell him about his feelings. he led him to a quiet place in the school, the rooftop, and said

"we need to talk."

Oboro looked worried, as most people are when they hear that. "whats up?"

"you know what i said about soulmates when we first met?" Aizawa asked.

"yeah, i remember." he sighed.

Aizawa kissed him, closing his eyes. Oboro was shocked for a second, but closed his eyes and kissed back. Aizawa started running his hand through his soulmates hair. he moved away for a second to mutter "your hair really is soft" Oboro smiled at that.

"anyways.. i regret what i said about soulmates, i think i like mine." Aizawa said.

"so you could say i went from a guy that you'd never be into, into a guy that you'd kinda be into?" Oboro smiled proudly at his joke

"Kinda? i think its a little.. no, a lot more than that." Aizawa smiled, something he didnt do often.

❣time skip to a few months later... prepare yourselves.. im sorry❣

Aizawa was on a mission with Oboro and Hizashi, they were supposed to see if there were any villains in a specific building. they had designed their hero costumes, Oboro still had his aviators jacket but he had a patch with his hero name, Hizashi had a directional speaker and a lot of leather, and Aizawa had a casual outfit, but with goggles, he got that idea from Oboro, and a scarf that could work as a weapon. by then they had also made their hero names. Aizawa had chosen, or more like Hizashi had chosen for him but whatever, Eraserhead, Oboro was named Loud Cloud, and Hizashi was Present Mic 'because im a gift to this world' he said. 'more like a burden.' Aizawa had replied. 

he was jarred from his thoughts by Oboro saying something.

"im gonna go in and check, y'all stay here."

Aizawa shook his head. "thats dangerous and idiotic. as you always are."

"offended cloud noises."

"did you literally just say that out loud?" Aizawa asked, turning towards him.

"i have no idea what im saying anymore." Oboro shrugged, running towards the building.

"wait!" Aizawa exclaimed, about to follow him, when Hizashi grabbed his arm.

"huh?" he pointed at the building. it looked old and abandoned. he stared in horror as the building began to tip over. it felt like the world had stopped, he was frozen in fear as he watched the building fall. he heard a scream. not just any scream.. his soulmate, then he heard a crash, everything turned grey and he realized the horrible truth.

Oboro was dead.
