Aizawa knows. He figured it out the day of the UA entrance exams when Mic pulled him out of the way of some falling rubble and then used his quirk to obliterate like ten robots at once. Then Mic smiled at him and was like ‘we’re all in this together, yeah??’ even though they were objectively Not in this together. 

And THEN Aizawa gets moved into the hero course and actually got seated NEXT TO this friendly superstar who likes everyone and can talk at length about any subject and speaks perfect (as far as Aizawa can tell) English. It’s intimidating. 

BUT. For whatever reason Mic seems to think Aizawa is cool?? Like, he loves Aizawa’s quirk and gushes at length about HOW AMAZING he was at the sports festival and he seems to hang on every rare word Aizawa manages to blurt out in his presence, and Aizawa thinks to himself ‘I have a rare opportunity here. I need to lock this shit down ASAP immediately.’

So he does his absolute, undaunted best at clumsily wooing Mic. He offers to help him with his hand-to-hand and breaks Mic’s wrist immediately. He asks for tutoring in English so he can better display his staggering ignorance. He invites him over to hang out and only offers him water and jelly packets the entire day. 

And Mic? 100% all onboard for all of it. He makes Aizawa sign the ace bandage Recovery Girl puts on his obliterated wrist. They go over EVERY English assignment together, which is enough to overcome even Aizawa’s apathy about the subject, which cannot be measured by human means. The next time he goes over to Aizawa’s, he brings snacks he made himself at home. They’re shaped like cat heads. Aizawa adores him.

They continue this way well into their adulthood, with Mic effortlessly picking up jobs and languages and becoming a functioning member of society and Aizawa… buying a sleeping bag, because why would he need anything more than that? Sleeping bag + Jelly packets = all physical requirements met with the bare minimum effort required. In his mind, Aizawa has Beaten the System. Meanwhile Mic has an apartment, a driver’s license, and his own line of vegan hair products. 

And they’re together, obviously, because Aizawa knows Mic is the greatest thing that will ever happen to him, by far the best he can and will ever do, and for some reason Mic seems to feel the same?? In spite of literally every person in their lives looking from one of them to the other and having their eyes physically turn into question marks. It’s widely speculated that Aizawa has some kind of love-inducing secondary quirk.

But it doesn’t matter, because most evenings Mic comes home to Aizawa doing one-armed push-ups in their living room, and watches him with literal heart eyes for a while before going to make them a healthy, balanced dinner that Aizawa will eat without complaint, even though Jelly packets are far more efficient, Hizashi. And Aizawa will listen, enraptured as he always is, as Mic rambles about All the cool people he met today, Shouta! and all the cool songs he listened to, even though Aizawa physically could not care less about any of those people or songs if you put a gun to his head. 

And once in a while someone will ask one of them what their secret is - how they have such a solid, successful relationship with a partner who clearly thinks they hung the moon and all the stars - and they’ll shrug, and Mic will smile and Aizawa will mumble under his breath, but they both have the same answer: “just lucky, I guess.”
