Work Text:
Tartarus. when Aizawa and Yamada had been called to Tartarus they weren't exactly sure what to expect, but by afterwards they were both uneasy, principle nezu gave them both the rest of the day off, and the pair gladly took it, they both went to their dorms, Aizawa's above the 1a dorms and Yamada's in the teachers' dorm.
1a hadn't seen Aizawa all day, even after knowing that he had been called out, they had seen him arrive back onto a grounds but when they hadn't seen him they knew something was up considering Aizawa had never missed a day of work or even been late to work.
the rest of the day went normal for the class, only thing was they hadn't seen Aizawa at all after they got back to the dorms, not even for him to get coffee or something to eat.
that night they were all just chilling in the common room talking, bakugo having already gone to bed, it wasn't until an hour later bakugo stormed downstairs pissed at them all "which one of you is screaming and yelling?!? I'm trying to sleep, idiots"
they all stop and look at him, they look at each other quietly, faint screaming in the background but they were all there, Jiro putting her headphone jack into one of the walls
"well then? who is it ear's I want my sleep"
Jiro looks at them and frowns "that's Aizawa sensei. and it's not screaming its crying"
pretty much all the class immediately made their way up to Aizawa's dorm worried, Iida wanting to protest but he was also worried, they don't have to even open the door to hear just how much Aizawa was upset.
Aizawa crying and screaming, yelling about shirakumo and how it shouldn't have been him that died but it should have been himself, angry that he couldn't have don't more to see his best friend and had punched multiple holes in the wall before he stopped, sank to the floor and hugs a pillow on his bed and cried into his bedsheets.
he didn't even hear the door open and didn't raise the students were there until they had gone to their rooms and come back with blankets and hot cocoa and things like that, feeling a blanket wrap around him as his head snaps up from his bedsheets as he stares at his students who were there, he tried to force himself to calm down but it just broke him further, feeling them wrap their arms around him. he grips a cloud pillow he had won in a claw machine before shirakumo was killed, he just breaks down and ends up holding onto the closest student to him, crying for a while before he stops and gets up, still a mess but shives some shoes on
"sensei where are you going?
"to Yamada, well mic"
they look at each other as Aizawa leaves and starts to head to the teacher's dorms, the students following worried, walking with him and struggling to keep up. pretty much all the teachers were asleep or out since it was a Friday night and they could do as they wish without worrying about work the next day.
Aizawa pretty much ran up the stairs to Yamada's room, opening the door and going over to Yamada. the students poking their heads in, looking around the room and seeing pretty much all glass and mirror-like items broken from Yamada's quirk.
Aizawa hugging Yamada and they hold each other, hugging each other and crying into each other, clinging to each other, the students wrap the blankets around the pair and get then some bottles of water and snacks for the pair for when they want them
they go back to their own dorm, staying in the common room none of them able to sleep, they talk and watch movies pretty much all night. the students going to the teachers' dorm the next morning, saying Aizawa was in Yamada's room and they wanted to talk to them, not saying anything about the crying.
they head up to Yamada's room, knocking on the door and opening it after a few seconds when they didn't get a reply, looking in and seeing Yamada and Aizawa in each other's arms, fast asleep and still a mess from the night before, they were holding each other and comforting each other.
they go back to their own dorms and when they next see Aizawa and Yamada they are on their best behaviour and do everything they can for their teachers.
it wasn't an easy weekend for the pair but they were in a safe place, and despite the multiple breakdown and cries, they were glad the be where they were and glad they weren't alone. despite the hardship they just went through, they were closer to each other afterwards, both mentally and physically, staying by each other for comfort. Aizawa naps weren't the best but the class always helped him
