"Shouta!" Aizawa groaned as his boyfriend crashed into him. He stumbled slightly, but Hizashi's tight grip kept him upright.
"Zashi…" He said, looking up at the slightly taller blond teen, who was now burying his face into Aizawa's shoulder.
"Do you know how worried I've been? I tried calling you… I was scared…" Hizashi said Hizashi was the only other person who knew about his home life. Aizawa rubbed his back but melted into Hizashi's embrace at the same time.
"Sorry. My phone died and I forgot to charge it." Aizawa told him, he was positive he didn't want to tell Hizashi what had happened yet.
"I'll let you borrow my charger, just so I know you are okay when you get home," Hizashi told him.
"Thanks, come on, Iida will probably get weird ideas if we show up late." Aizawa let him go, Hizashi stepped back with a sly grin.
"Iida can think what he wants." Hizashi placed a kiss to his forehead. "I don't care."
"You say that now," Aizawa told him. "Anyway, the faster we get to class the faster I can charge my phone."
"Valid point," Hizashi smirked, taking Aizawa's hand in his own. "Let's go then." Together they headed to their class.
"Inko, sweetheart, of course, we can help out!" Shoji Suzue clapped her hands together.
"Poor boy… we'll inform the right people right away. The faster we get this sorted the better it will before for him." Haruta Tsunayoshi said. He frowned. "Was that everything Midoriya-san?"
"Well, I was hoping to allow Aizawa-kun to live with me and Izuku until he gets on his feet. But I am not quite sure how to go along with such a process." Inko admitted.
"Why not adopt him? That way you can be his legal guardian, and let's be real, you're already a far better mother then his seems to be," Nagata Mushanokoji told her.
"Whilst that may work, it would also depend on how Izuku deals with the teen," Haruta said.
"Well, Izu calls Aizawa-kun Nii-chan already," Inko told them.
"Oh, seems like he made the choice for you then." Shoji chuckled. "Izuku is a little bunny, so cute and sweet!"
"Well, we will try and get everything sorted as soon as possible for you, Inko," Nagata assured her, Inko smiled at her coworkers, thankful for their willingness to help. Now, all she had to do was sort at the spare room for her new visitor, a place Aizawa could call his own.
"You haven't fallen asleep at all today, are you okay?" Hizashi asked Aizawa looked up at him whilst eating his lunch. Aizawa was thankful for the lunch money Inko gave him. He was beginning to wonder if she mothered everyone.
" Yeah, why?" Aizawa frowned.
"I mean, it's good. It means you got a good night's sleep and your appetite has improved." Hizashi muttered, "But, you'd tell me if something is up, right?"
"Of course, I really did have the best night sleep ever last night though." Aizawa told him, "I feel a lot better than before."
"That's good. I'm glad, you a look better too, not so tired." Hizashi smiled, he reached over and brushed some of Aizawa's hair out of his eyes. "It is nice to see you're getting better at taking care of yourself, though I doubt they will let this good run last," Hizashi growled the last bit.
"Hizashi, I can promise you now, they can't or at least won't ruin this good run," Aizawa told him. He gave the blond a genuine smile, the kind of smile that Hizashi fell in love with. "Trust me on this." Hizashi nodded, before leaning in close a pressing soft kiss to Aizawa's lips.
" I'll hold you to that, tell me if they try anything though," Hizashi replied Aizawa nodded in agreement. He couldn't tell Hizashi yet, he needed time to see what was going to happen, if he got to stay, then he would tell him once he was settled.
"Nii-chan!" Izuku beamed, running to the door as soon as Aizawa arrived back at the apartment. Izuku collided with his leg and hugged it tightly. "Welcome home Nii-chan!" Home? could he really call this place home? Aizawa looked down at the bubbly, bouncing green boy looking up at him with shining eyes. "I made you a drawing!"
"Um, thanks," Aizawa said, warmth rising up inside him. He found himself smiling.
"Izu, you should let him sit down before jumping on him," Inko called, Aizawa presumed she was in the kitchen. "I am sure he is very tired after school."
"Oh, okay. Sorry, Nii-chan." Izuku apologized.
"It's alright, so want to show me your picture?" Aizawa asked, Izuku immediately brightened up again and rushed off to get it as Aizawa entered the kitchen.
"Hello, dear, how was your day?" Inko smiled as Aizawa sat at the table. Aizawa took a moment to get his head around the question. Did parents usually ask about how their child's day went? Aizawa shook his head slightly, whether Inko saw or not, she didn't bring it up.
"Yeah, it was the usual," Aizawa replied after thinking back over his day. "Heroics training was a headache though."
"What did you do in heroics?" Inko asked, a little curious.
"Oh, um, no, someone in my class has a voice quirk. He literally screams at everything. I literally got a headache." Aizawa told her. Inko chuckled.
"Oh, dear, would you like some painkillers?" Inko looked over at him.
"No, it's okay. I'm used to it." Aizawa shook his head.
"Just because you're used to it, doesn't mean you need to put up with it." Inko placed a glass of water and two painkillers on the table. Aizawa stared at her. "You need to think about yourself, and your own welfare now. Okay?"
"Yes, Ma'am." Aizawa nodded and took them, just as Izuku rushed back in, holding a piece of paper, he climbed on to a chair then pushed it before Aizawa. Aizawa took it and looked down at the boy's art. It was obviously him, the messy black hair was kind of obvious, but then there was someone, or something else. Aizawa frowned. "I know that's me… got my favourite colour too." Aizawa pointed to the drawing of him, standing in black clothes, but then he pointed at the other thing. "But, what's that?"
"A villain!" Izuku said dramatically. "You beating a villain and saving the day!" Aizawa looked at the drawing, a strange tightening sensation squeezing his heart. Damn this kid… "Do you like it, Nii-chan?" Izuku asked, eyebrows scrunching a little.
"Love it, thank you." Aizawa smiled.
"You can put it in your room!" Izuku told him.
"I don't have…" Aizawa began.
"I was able to get a few friends around before you came back and we cleared out the spare room I'd been using for storage," Inko explained. "So, you can have it."
"Ma'am-" Aizawa began.
"No, not a word. You need a place to stay, our door will always be open to you." Inko told him firmly. "And I spoke to my co-workers, something will be done about your parents." Aizawa blinked at her in surprise. This woman had only known him for around 24 hours, but she was already offering her home and helping him escape them?
"T-thank you…" Aizawa said, his voice breaking slightly, he bowed his head. He felt something rest on his lap. He looked to see Izuku had gotten off his chair and was resting his head on Aizawa's lap.
"Be happy Nii-chan." He muttered.
"I am, I am very happy." Aizawa smiled.
"But, you have tears. Tears are sad." Izuku looked confused.
"These are happy tears," Aizawa explained.
"Happy tears?" Izuku frowned
"When you get so happy you end up crying," Aizawa said Izuku's mouth formed a small O, before smiling widely.
"I'm glad." He continued to rest his head on Aizawa's lap, patting his leg in comfort. Aizawa smiled and ruffled his hair in turn. The mass of curls was extremely soft, Izuku giggled and looked up at Aizawa. "Will you stay forever now, Nii-chan?"
"If you'll have me." Aizawa nodded, Izuku moved around to looked at his mom.
"Mama! Can we keep Nii-chan?" Izuku asked.
"Izuku, Aizawa-kun is not a pet, we don't keep him. But, yes, he is welcome to stay as long as he wants."
"Yay." Izuku cheered, running back to Aizawa. He beamed and took Aizawa's hand. "Let's go see your room, Nii-chan!" Izuku said, trying to pull him up.
"Okay, Okay!" Aizawa got up and allowed Izuku to lead him down the hall.
