Work Text:
You stare into the mirror, turning around, once, twice, thrice. A disgruntled noise escaped you before you sighed, removed the dress you wore and plopped yourself on your bed. Staring at your closet you rack your brains, what’d be a cute yet sexy fit for your date night with Aizawa?
The pro hero was always busy, marking papers at home, patrolling every so often. So when he’d said that he took a week off, you couldn’t help but feel excited, elated beyond words. Needless to say all your excitement turned into negativity as you stared at your own reflection.
You pinched your belly, pulling the damn rolls that formed as you sat.
“Honey, are you-“
Aizawa stopped as he laid his eyes upon your figure. You locked eyes with him and quickly stood up, grabbing the nearest piece of cloth you could find to cover yourself. The dress you had previously took off, left you in only your undergarments.
“S-Shota, please just wait outside...”, you mumbled, anxiety off the charts.
This wasn’t the first time he’d seen you naked. Yet, you couldn’t shake off the feeling that he was going to be disgusted by your body. Then again, he has every reason to. The stretch marks painted across your skin, the excess weight you carried around your lower abdomen, the way your arms were bigger compared to other women you’d see.
You drowned in your own thoughts as Aizawa takes a step forward. “Honey, is everything okay?”
“Just wait outside! Go!”, your attempt to chase him away all but failed as he inched closer.
You sunk down to your knees, covering your face as your tears began falling. Aizawa got down to your level and brought you close to him, stroking your hair and he whispered kind affirmations into your ears.
“Shh... Breathe for me, kitty cat,” Aizawa’s low, hushed tones calmed you slowly, but surely. “Follow the pace of my heart... I’m here, y/n”
You closed your eyes, following the steady pace of Aizawa’s heart as you tried to calm down. It was only when you had calmed down did you realise how warm his embrace was.
Aizawa’s embrace.
You were only in your undergarments, your imperfections in Aizawa’s clear view. Realising this, you tried pushing him away, but Aizawa’s grip was stronger, preventing you from slipping away.
“My kitty cat, tell me what’s wrong? Please,” Aizawa cupped you cheeks carefully, lifting your face to meet his lips gently. “You can tell me everything, you know that right?”
Your lips quivered, “I-I just... There’s nothing that looks pretty enough for me to wear tonight.”
Aizawa cocks his head to the side, a small frown apparent on his face.
“We haven’t gone to dinner for a while and I just wanted to...”
“To?”, Aizawa encouraged.
“To be pretty for you tonight... Shota, I’m sorry I took so long to get ready. Every dress just doesn’t fit me today. I think I gained even more weight-“
Aizawa’s hand reached out for the back of your head and he crashed his lips against yours. A surprised moaned escaped you and he couldn’t help but pull you even closer, if that were even possible. His hands wandered across your back to the sides of your arms, drifting down slowly to caress your belly and thighs.
You pulled away abruptly, “S-Shota...”
He retracted his hands immediately, looking at you carefully. “Did I go too far?”
“It’s not that,” you felt yourself flush red, out of embarrassment. “I know I’m not the skinniest woman you’ve seen. I-I’m trying to lose the rolls...”
“Kitty...”
“I know, I promise I’m watching my diet. T-To be better for you.”
Aizawa let out a breath and placed a sweet kiss on your forehead as he gazed deeply into your eyes.
“Y/N please don’t say things like that. Please know that you’re already perfect for me. Your body is beautiful to me in every way, please don’t change anything. I love the way you are, nothing will change that.”
You looked down at your hands, interlaced with his. When you said nothing, he continued.
“I know you don’t always view your body in the best way, but kitty, I love you just the way you are. There is nothing for you to change, nothing for you to lose. Please believe me when I say you’re the most attractive person I my eyes. You and only you, my little kitty cat.”
Aizawa brought your hands to his lips and placed little kisses on them. You giggled, his stubble ticking your skin. Seeing you smile sent Aizawa’s heart beating and he pulled you to share another kiss.
“So perfect and beautiful...”
He let his hand wander again, this time, you simply let him. You could feel his smile as he pinched your soft plump ass cheeks, doing the same to your soft thighs. Aizawa was being so gentle, touching you delicately, running his hands through your hair, deepening the sweet kiss.
“You’re a literal goddess, kitty,” Aizawa smiled as he pecked your lips once more. “I’m so lucky to have you.”
You laughed at his little remark. “I think I’m the lucky one here.”
Aizawa’s laugh warms your heart and you can’t help but feel so loved. All these years of struggling with your body image and self esteem... All these years of anxiety and worry... How could one man make your problems disappear in the moment?
“Thank you Shota. So much,” your voice shook a little as you fought back the urge to cry again.
Aizawa cups your face and nuzzles your nose softly. “You’ve helped me too, kitty. In ways you couldn’t even imagine.”
You sniffled and let out a small laugh.
“How about we just stay home today? Order some take out, watch a movie. Have some quality cuddle time,” Aizawa suggested and you nodded eagerly, a cute action that perhaps made the man fall even deeper in love with you.
“I love you, my kitty cat. Come on, let’s get you dressed in something warmer.”
