Hi!! I was wondering if you could write a dadzawa fic where his daughter blames herself for what happens to him in the manga because she feels like she wasnât helpful in the fight and that her quirk isnât as great as her dads? Maybe some comfort from him and talking our their trauma together? :)
You Blame Yourself - Dadzawa Comfort
A/N: Hi! I havenât read the manga, so sadly I donât know what you mean and I donât want to google it and spoil it for myself, so Iâm sorry! But I didnât want to ignore your request, so Iâm basing it around the USJ attack. Hope thatâs ok!â
   You remember that day as if it were yesterday. The league appeared in the middle of USJ. You and your classmates being split up. Fighting your way back to your father. Seeing his limp body smashed in the concrete. Getting a strong whiff of iron. All you could see was blood. Your fatherâs blood. All Might was there, fighting the creature that had done this to Aizawa. You couldnât just stand by and watch the scene unfold. No, your father raised you to never hold back in a fight. But he also taught you to never bite more than you can chew.Â
   Your quirk was an exact replica of Aizawaâs, you just couldnât use it as well. No one could blame you, youâre young.
   You had made it to safety up with your classmates and other pro-heros, trying to fight your way to the front to see what was going on. Present Mic was there, holding you back.
   âNo, Y/N,â he said sternly. âYou donât need to see this.â
   âWhereâs dad?â you demanded. âMove, Mic!â You shoved him, but he didnât move. You caught a glimpse over his shoulder, though, the sight startled you.
   âY/N, get out of here,â Mic pleaded. âEraserâs ok, I promise.â
   âThe hell heâs not!â You screamed, tears brimming your eyes. âLet me help!â You activated your quirk, h/c hair rising in the air along with your capture weapon. âLet me do what dad canât right now!âÂ
Mic held you tightly, then sighed. âFine, but youâre staying up here, out of sight.â He passed you to Kirishima, who was watching anxiously from behind. âKeep her up here. Iâm going down there.â When the red-head nodded, Mic screamed, using his quirk as he got closer to the nomu.
You tried your hardest to keep your eyes open, but the temptation to close them was growing stronger. You felt weak, and like the villains below you were too strong for you. Your body felt heavy.
âY/N, you ok?â Kirishima asked worriedly. âMaybe you should---â
âNo,â you muttered, blinking before reactivating your quirk. âIâm ok.â Not a moment passed before your eyes slipped shut again and Kirishima had to catch you before you hit the ground.
Fast forward a few weeks, and you were curled up in the corner of the couch in your home. Aizawa was out of his cast, and moving on his own. Hizashi kept a close eye on him from the counter as Aizawa made himself a cup of coffee.Â
âWould you like a cup Y/N?â Aizawa asked from the kitchen.Â
You shook your head no, not daring to meet his eyes. You felt guilty, like you could have done more to help him during the USJ attack. âNo, thank you.â
âYou sure?â he asked in reassurance. âYou havenât been sleeping well. I can tell."
âEverything alright, listener?â Hizashi rose from the counter and walked over to sit beside you on the couch. âYouâve been quiet.â
Aizawa came over as well, kneeling in front of you. He sat his freshly made cup of coffee on the floor beside him. âY/N, look at me.â
Your hair hid your gaze from your dad, but both him and Hizashi heard you sniffle, then watched as you wiped at your eyes. âNo.â
âY/N,â Aizawa said sternly. âLoo. At. Me.â When you didnât answer him, he turned to Hizashi. âCan you give us a minute?â The blonde nodded, rubbed your shoulder gently, then walked down the hall and to his study room.Â
âIâm sorry,â you whispered shakily, beginning to cry. âIâm so sorry, dad.â
âHoney, what for?â The older man rested a hand on your knee and rubbed it gently. âYou have nothing to be sorry for.â
âI should have done something,â you responded, sniffling. âI could have done more. If only, if--â
âHey, no ifs.â Aizawa stood slowly with a grimace, then sat down beside you on the couch. He wrapped his arms around you and slowly pulled you into him. âPart of becoming a hero is making mistakes. It also means learning not to think âwhat ifâŠâ. That only makes everything worse.â Shouta pressed a soft kiss to the top of your head. âYou did amazing back there,â he reassured. âKirishima and Hizashi told me what you did, how you took over for me when I passed out. And Iâm so proud of you.â He rubbed a hand up and down your arm as you leaned into him. âYouâve grown so much. You havenât been able to use your quirk that far away yet.â
You sniffled with a giggle, wiping at your nose with your sleeve. âYeah, Iâm pretty proud of that.â
âYou should be.â Aizawa sighed and looked away for a moment. âYou know, I kind of feel the same way, like I could have done more.â He smiled gently down at you, finally meeting his gaze. âHereâs another lesson, talk about things. Never hold them in. Whether you talk to me, or âZashi, other teachers, or a therapist. Trauma isnât funny. Donât think I havenât noticed how you have nightmares every night now.â
âHow did you know?â you asked quietly. âIâm sorry, I thought I was being quiet.â
âDonât apologize,â Shouto responded. âAnd, I know because Iâve been having them too. And so I get up about four times a night just to check on you and Hizashi.â
You hummed, âoh, Thatâs why I keep waking up, if itâs not from a nightmare.â
âItâs just me,â Aizawa reassured. He pressed another kiss to your head. âDo you feel any better?â
You nodded slowly, thinking. âYeah, I think so. Thereâs still things I want to talk about, but I donât think Iâm ready. I think Iâll talk to my therapist about it.â
âGood deal.â Aizawa stood with a grunt. âNow come with me to go check on your other dad. Heâs probably worried sick. You know how he is.â
You laughed quietly, jumping up and hugging Aizawaâs arm. You clung to him like your life depended on it because in the end, youâre only 15, but you still needed your dad there every once in a while.
