I’ve got a little breakdown while doing this. Have I mentioned before how much I hate painting?? 

➳ pairing: aizawa shouta x yagi toshinori ➳ genre: fluff ➳ warnings: none ➳ word count: 1435 ➳ rating: pg ➳ summary: In which aizawa is much too tired to mark his papers and takes a nap. ➳ a/n: just a little idea i had that was half-inspired by some fanart i stumbled across. 

“Since when did the kids write so much?” All Might yawned, finally letting his muscle form fade away for the day.

Lots of erasermight + one miritama XDDD/////

NSFW Aizawa Shouta x Yagi Toshinori

Warnings: Established relationship, nsfw

They’d been together for quite some time now, and even though both of them had been in relationships before, neither were bold enough to go all the way.

On one hand, Toshinori instantly turned pink at the thought of even mentioning sex to his boyfriend, and on the other, Aizawa would die if he ever made his lover uncomfortable.

So, neither of them said a word about what they truly wanted to do to each other.

Or, in Toshi’s case, what he wanted him to do to him.

But that was neither here nor there as long as they kept quiet.

The thing is, when you deprive yourself of what you want, tension rises.

A lot.

Toshinori came into work early, as usual. To his surprise, Aizawa was already in his seat, casually sitting comfortably with his legs spread wide open. It wasn’t a conscious choice, and he wouldn’t have ever sat in such a suggestive position if anyone else was around.

When was the last time I drew the gays?

I read the S.I.M.P continuum by Kyonarai again and had to draw erasermight. I just love it.
