(21:34) Unknown Number
Where’d you put my sleeping bag.
(21:43) Unknown Number
Don’t ignore me, Hizashi. Where the fuck did you put it.
(21:47) Izuku
ah, i’m sorry, who’s this? i think you have the wrong number ^^;;
(21:47) Unknown Number
Don’t play dumb with me. Now, tell me where you and Nemuri hid my sleeping bag before I strangle you to death.
(21:48) Izuku
i’m not playing, i promise!!
(21:48) Izuku
also, i’m pretty sure (at least i’m really hoping so) that you’re a pro too bc this is HN
(21:48) Izuku
but legally, i think i have to remind you that murder is illegal (꒪∆꒪;)
(21:48) Unknown Number
Fuck, you really aren’t Hizashi. Sorry.
(21:49) Izuku
no worries!! i hope you get your sleeping bag back !!!
(21:49) Izuku
(without murder, hopefully!!)
(13:09) Izuku
ok, so like, hear me out
(13:09) Izuku
but hypothetically, do you think the place we were at yesterday was haunted?? like, tsuyu was even unnerved?? and she’s never unnerved??? and i felt smth rly wrong last night and i woke up this morning to all my cabinets open ????????
(13:09) Izuku
help blease i signed up to be a hero not the starring role in a horror movie
(15:23) Unknown Number
I think you hit the wrong contact.
(15:26) Unknown Number
The existence of the supernatural is illogical, though. You were probably just pranked by some kids.
(15:29) Izuku
omg i’m so sorry!!!!!!! i must have hit your contact instead of my friend’s since you’re one of the last ppl i texted
(15:29) Izuku
but that’s impossible, i live in a hero complex!! and there are kids here but it’s pretty hard to get into my apartment normally!!!!
(15:29) Izuku
i think i might just be haunted (ó﹏ò｡)
(15:30) Izuku
aaaaaaaaa i’m sorry to be dumping all of this on you!!! i’m just rly worried,,
(15:32) Izuku
LKFDGKLDKJGLDK HOLY SHIT MY DOOR JUST SWUNG OPEN
(15:34) Unknown Number
Are you sure there’s no villain targeting your building?
(15:35) Izuku
i’m pretty sure!!! like, 90% at least
(15:35) Izuku
i should call an exorcist (๑ó⌓ò๑)
(15:35) Unknown Number
If you want.
(15:35) Izuku
well now i’m doubting that!! i should just wait until my friends come over :(((
(15:35) Izuku
do you know any ways to ward off the supernatural?
(15:35) Izuku
or at least make sure i’m not stabbed to death by any vengeful spirit
(15:36) Unknown Number
You’ll be fine. There’s no such thing as ghosts.
(15:36) Unknown Number
Either way, you’re a pro hero, right? You should be able to hold your own.
(15:36) Izuku
ig?? they don’t teach what to do when you’re attacked by a ghost at UA tho!!
(15:36) Izuku
but you’re right!!! what kind of hero would i be if i couldn’t hold my own against a ghost??
(20:01) Izuku
UPDATE: THE GHOST BROUGHT FRIENDS
(20:14) Unknown Number
You’ve got the wrong number again. But, what?
(20:05) Izuku
ah, actually, i kinda feel like i have to keep you updated to the whole ghost situation?? i mean, maybe i’ll be able to convert your non-believing mind!! (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑
(20:05) Izuku
buT THE GHOST BROUGHT FRIENDS I SWEAR
(20:05) Izuku
last night i called a few friends over and got an evp device, right?? (basically smth that lets you communicate w the supernatural)
(20:05) Izuku
AND I ASKED HOW MANY GHOSTS WERE WITH US
(20:05) Izuku
AND IT SAID 5!!!!! 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(20:07) Unknown Number
And you’re sure there was no way for the device to be tampered with or connect with different frequencies? Or maybe there’s just some people really committed to the idea of screwing with you?
(20:07) Izuku
i don’t think so!!!!!! aren’t you finding at least a little bit of this fishy??
(20:07) Unknown Number
In the normal, reality sense? Yes. In the supernatural sense? No, quite frankly.
(20:07) Izuku
you, sir, (maam? xir?) are going to receive the news of how some poor pro was killed in their apartment due to mysterious causes and im going to find you and haunt you from beyond the grave >:((
(20:08) Unknown Number
Sir. And I’m sure you will.
(03:45) Izuku
so, did you ever get your sleeping bag back?
(04:03) Non-Believer
Why are you up so late?
(04:03) Non-Believer
And yes, I did.
(04:03) Izuku
i’m glad!! (i hope you didn’t murder your friends tho)
(04:03) Izuku
and also, i can’t sleep? i swea r i can feel something watching me and i’m alone!! so i’m just trying to pass the time
(04:03) Izuku
(also, why are you up? i’ll be honest, i wasn’t rly expecting a response)
(04:04) Non-Believer
No, I didn’t kill my friends. I was strongly tempted to.
(04:04) Non-Believer
And to answer your question, I’m an underground hero. I operate during these hours.
(04:04) Izuku
wow!!!! oh !!! i hope i’m not keeping you from your job !!! (˚☐˚! )/
(04:05) Izuku
also, that’s rly admirable?? underground pros don’t receive nearly enough credit for their jobs. i mean, public pros operate less hours than most underground and yet receive better benefits due to publicity (which is, unfortunately, what a lot are going for nowadays instead of wanting to help ppl ://). aside from that, underground pros are usually called on the worst cases like trafficking and such and usually receive the most injuries/deaths statistically speaking. and yet they’re the backbone of our society?? like, they’re the ppl working behind the scenes to make sure everything goes smoothly, and do a lot more dirty/hard work than other pros?? and without them, our society would definitely not be working as well as it is. actually, it’d probably collapse
(04:06) Izuku
,,,which you prob already know, bc you’re an underground hero. sorry :’) i have a tendency to ramble, even over text
(04:07) Non-Believer
You sure know your stuff. And it’s fine. It’s nice, actually, for one of the public heroes to acknowledge what underground heroes do. It’s not necessary, but it’s nice.
(04:07) Izuku
it should be!!! a lot of pros are jerks to underground heroes :(( which is bs
(04:07) Non-Believer
It’s fine. They’re usually acting off of their feelings of superiority, which is quite irrational. Then again, so is human nature, unfortunately.
(04:07) Izuku
still :((
(04:08) Izuku
OH SHIT I GOTTA GO MY SPRINKLERS WENT OFF?? RUDE
(04:08) Izuku
i’ll text you later with updates !! (assuming i’m not already dead and haunting you)
(11:15) Ochacha <3
Soooo
(11:15) Izuku
?
(11:15) Ochacha <3
ive let u keep the beans for long enough, zuzu. its time to spill
(11:15) Izuku
?????
(11:15) Ochacha <3
who do u keep texting ?? and dont u dare try and say that its one of the squad™, or ill break into ur apt and float u out ur window for trying to lie to me
(11:16) Izuku
how do you know it’s not one of them tho??? it could very well be >:0
(11:16) Ochacha <3
nah, uve always got this kinda dorky grin on ur face when texting as opposed to ur normal, more resigned ‘oh no i gotta be the group mom again’ face
(11:16) Ochacha <3
plus izu bb ily but uve got all the subtlety of tsuki when the slightest thing pisses him off
(11:16) Ochacha <3
that is to say, Not At All
(11:16) Izuku
H
(11:16) Izuku
maybe so,,,
(11:17) Ochacha <3
uwu
(11:17) Ochacha <3
but srs, who is it ????
(11:18) Izuku
u hhhh,,,,,
(11:18) Izuku
,,an underground hero?
(11:18) Ochacha <3
why do u sound so unsure ???
(11:18) Izuku
so like, the thing is, i og started texting him bc he texted me as a wrong number?? and then i texted him as a wrong number?? and now im obliged to give him info about my haunting
(11:18) Ochacha <3
huh
(11:18) Ochacha <3
well, i give u two my blessing. use protection !!
(11:18) Izuku
waIT NO!!!! O C H A!!!! I DONT EVEN KNOW WHICH HERO IT IS????? DSKFKJSDJKF
(11:19) Ochacha <3
,,so ur telling me that uve managed to text this unknown number (on HN ???) long enough to have them b ur reg for haunting updates and find out that theyre an underground, but u havent established which hero they r ??? even tho ???? its HN ?????? so it’d be quite ??????? normal to ask ???????????
(11:19) Izuku
it’s,, never come up?
(11:19) Ochacha <3
this is why ur gonna give the Squad™ a reduced lifespan
(11:19) Izuku
SFDJDSFJK IM SORRY
(08:09) Izuku
what should i do if i wake up and all my sinks have been turned on
(08:09) Izuku
hypothetically, of course
(11:57) Non-Believer
Check to make sure your plumbing is okay, and make sure that you weren’t broken into.
(12:51) Izuku
i did!! my pipes are fine and theres no evidence of anything else
(12:51) Izuku
it’s the ghosts,, i swe ar
(13:56) Non-Believer
I highly doubt that you’re haunted.
(13:57) Izuku
there’s nothing else it could be tho!! ghosts are real and they hate me (ⅈ▱ⅈ)
(13:57) Non-Believer
It could be a prank from your neighbours.
(13:57) Izuku
i don’t think it is!! i don’t see why they’d do anything like that ;_;
(13:57) Izuku
oh!!! speaking of such, which hero are you :0? (it’s ok if you don’t want to say tho out of confidentiality or smth!!!)
(13:57) Izuku
i was talking w a friend yesterday and i’m pretty sure she’s going to kill me if i don’t get your name tho
(13:58) Non-Believer
Ah, right. That didn’t occur to me.
(13:58) Non-Believer
I’m the erasure hero, Eraserhead.
(12:02) Izuku
oh, neat!! you’re a rly amazing hero!!!
(12:02) Izuku
(and i’m Deku, the can-do hero!)
(12:02) Izuku

(14:03) Eraserhead!!!!!!
Hey, are you okay? I just saw the news. That fight looked bad.
(23:25) Izuku
yeah!! i’m fine :D!! the worst of it was healed by the hospital staff, so after a days worth of rest i’ll be good as new!!
(23:25) Izuku
and most importantly, no one was drastically injured!!!! which is a success in my book ^^
(00:30) Eraserhead!!!!!!
Yeah. That’s good.
(10:30) Izuku
honestly, the worst part is having to spend an entire day at my place. it’d be fine if not for the fact that it’s haunted by ghosts who don’t like me ༼ : ౦ ‸ ౦ : ༽
(10:55) Eraserhead!!!!!!
What would the public think if they knew that their prodigal number one hero is scared of their own home?
(10:57) Izuku
they’d be understanding, unlike you bullying me :((
(10:58) Eraserhead!!!!!!
I’m only speaking the truth.
(10:58) Izuku
yeah, the truth of someone who doesn’t want to open their eyes and see reality!!!
(10:59) Eraserhead!!!!!!
Keep telling yourself that.
(11:00) Izuku
if i go home and i’m attacked by any spirit, i’m telling them to go after you >:/
(15:55) Nuisance 1

(15:55) Shouta
I fail to see how any of this is your business.
(15:55) Nuisance 1
RUDE !!! weve known each other for a long and harrowing 15 years, and this is how u treat ur bestie ???? im hurt :(

(15:56) Nuisance 1

(15:56) Nuisance 1
nem would never treat me like this
(15:57) Shouta
She would and you know it.
(15:57) Nuisance 1

(15:57) Nuisance 1

(19:07) Deku
:Sent_Vid:
(19:07) Deku
DO YOU SEE THIS??
(19:07) Deku
thERE’S NO WAY IT’S NOT SUPERNATURAL
(19:08) Shouta
It looks like someone using some sort of levitation quirk.
(19:08) Shouta
Also, I never knew that someone’s voice could pitch so high. Not even Mic’s can.
(19:08) Deku
YOU TRY LIVING IN A HAUNTED APARTMENT AND SEE HOW YOU LIKE IT
(19:08) Deku
i’m not,, having a good time
(19:08) Deku
villains?? i can take them
(19:08) Deku
vengeful spirits?? haha no can do
(19:09) Deku
esp since i’m all alone?? this is a one vs five fight
(19:09) Shouta
Do you have any friends who are willing to stay with you?
(19:09) Deku
unfortunately not :((
(19:09) Deku
apart from the fact that they’re all pros w busy lives, most of them are just as superstitious as i am
(19:09) Deku
(freezerburn almost broke my apartment when he came over for the evp sess,,)
(19:09) Deku
(and ground zero)
(19:10) Deku
(tbh he just likes breaking things if given a reason, but sti l l)
(19:10) Shouta
He’s quite volatile. Honestly, I would have started my teaching career with grey hairs if I had to take care of you and your friends.
(19:10) Deku
we were quite a handful, weren’t we ^^;;
(19:11) Shouta
You still are, if what I’m hearing is any clue. And the news I’ve seen with you and your friends.
(19:11) Deku
can’t argue w that (๑•́ ₃ •̀๑)
(19:11) Deku
i’ll just have to live-text them updates about my life in a horror movie :((
(19:12) Deku
(and you too, of course)
(19:13) Shouta
I’ll be waiting.
(19:13) Deku
(ｏ'ｖ｀ｂ)ｂ
(00:04) Deku
what if,, it’s aliens
(00:45) Shouta
That’s highly illogical, even for you.
(00:45) Deku
you don’t know that!! with quirks, anyone could be an alien and we’d just think it’s a quirk!!
(00:45) Deku
OMG
(00:45) Deku
what if,, quirks started because of aliens
(00:46) Shouta
I think you’re trying to connect the dots that don’t even exist because of your lack of sleep.
(00:46) Deku
:Sent_finger_tapmeme.jpg:
(00:46) Deku
the ghosts can’t get you if you’re not asleep
(00:46) Deku
ok im realizing how conspiracyish that sounds bu t
(00:46) Deku
i swea r, even as i text you rn i can feel something
(00:46) Deku
like
(00:47) Deku
you know when you run into a villain and you can tell that they’re gonna be Bad News because of like,, the vibe they’re giving off
(00:48) Deku
lmao sorry i'm really tired so i can’t word my thoughts well
(00:48) Deku
but it’s like that
(00:49) Shouta
Are you sure that it’s not a villain? It’s rare, but some of the more unhinged have a tendency to go after hero complexes. Especially ones with high profile pros, like you.
(00:49) Deku
i mean, i’m pretty sure? ugh, now i feel even worse about staying home alone (ﾟДﾟ;)
(00:49) Deku
oh well. if it is a villain, then i can handle them! ۹(ÒہÓ)۶
(00:50) Shouta
Be careful.
(00:50) Deku
of course!!!
(03:23) Deku
i can’t sleep ;-;
(03:23) Deku
but
(03:23) Deku
who do you think would win? All Might or Thanos
(03:25) Shouta
The big, purple guy from the pre-quirk Marvel series?
(03:25) Deku
yeye
(03:25) Shouta
I’d have to say Thanos.
(03:25) Deku
>:O!!!! no way
(03:25) Deku
All Might could totally one-shot Thanos and his army!!
(03:26) Shouta
Couldn’t Thanos just snap All Might to dust?
(03:26) Deku
consider: All Might’s Kamino Stand 8 years ago
(03:26) Shouta
You have a point. But, I still think Thanos would win.
(03:26) Deku
i’ll just have to convert you on this matter too! >:oo

Yes.

do you think there’s someone out there w the quirk to make ghosts
(01:07) Eraserhead!!!!!!
Statistically speaking, it’s possible, although highly improbable.
(01:07) Izuku
what if someone w that quirk cursed me??? （●´･△･｀）
(01:08) Eraserhead!!!!!!
That’s even less likely.
(01:08) Izuku
but not impossible!!!
(01:08) Eraserhead!!!!!!
No, I suppose it isn’t.
(01:09) Izuku
i’m totally haunted
(01:09) Eraserhead!!!!!!
You’re being illogical, Deku.

Also, are you still unable to sleep?

(01:15) Izuku
it was a really bad fight
(01:15) Izuku
ground zero was with me and he uh
(01:15) Izuku
we barely made it out, and we were in the hospital for a few months
(01:15) Izuku
i thought,, i was back there. in my dream. and zero was there, on the ground, bleeding out and asking me why i couldn’t save him. and there was so much blood
(01:15) Izuku
it felt so real
(01:16) Eraserhead!!!!!!
Well, you’re alive. So is Ground Zero. You two both made it, and the villain is locked up.

I think I may be getting sick.
(07:50) Recovery Girl
Oh? And why do you say that?
(07:51) Shouta
Recently I’ve been noticing that my heart is beating faster, my face (and sometimes my ears) will grow hot, and I’ll sweat when I’m not doing physical activity.
(07:51) Recovery Girl
I see. And when does this happen?
(07:51) Shouta
Usually when I’m talking with a friend I made recently or I think of them.
(07:51) Shouta
Huh. Odd.
(07:52) Recovery Girl
If you want, you can stop by before classes start so I can give you a checkup. But it’s in my professional opinion that you have a crush.
(07:53) Shouta
What.
(07:53) Shouta
That’s impossible.
(07:54) Recovery Girl
It quite isn’t, Shouta.
(07:54) Shouta
I’ll come by during lunch break for that checkup.
(07:55) Recovery Girl
Alright.
(13:30) Shouta
I need help.
(13:31) Loud and Proud
whats wrong ??? r u okay ????????
(13:31) Shouta
I..think so? I don’t know.
(13:31) Shouta
I was talking with Chiyo this morning because I think I’ve been getting sick, but she says that it’s just my body’s reaction for a crush. And when I went to her for a checkup during lunch break, she found nothing in regards to an illness.
(13:31) Shouta
But there’s no way it’s a crush. It’s illogical.
(13:32) Best Wife <3
if im putting together the right dots, is it deku whos making u feel this way ?
(13:32) Shouta
..Yeah.
(13:32) Shouta
But it’s irrational. I’ve only been talking with them for a little over a month now, and I haven’t even talked with them face-to-face.
(13:33) Shouta
I don’t get it.
(13:33) Best Wife <3
oh, shou, we cant choose who we fall for. or how they make us feel
(13:33) Best Wife <3
sometimes u can fall for people in days. sometimes it takes months. it depends on the person and how they make u feel.
(13:33) Loud and Proud
does it make u happy when u get a text from them?
(13:34) Shouta
Yeah.
(13:34) Loud and Proud
can u imagine a future with them?
(13:34) Shouta
..I guess.
(13:35) Best Wife <3
would knowing they like u romantically make u happy?
(13:37) Shouta
Yes.
(13:37) Shouta

(13:37) Shouta
This is ridiculous. I’m being ridiculous.
(13:37) Loud and Proud

(21:30) Deku
hey! i don’t mean to worry you, but i was out at my local konbini, and i ran into this kid a little bit ago? he looks a little roughed up, and i managed to find out that he’s your nephew? (his name is hitoshi!)
(21:31) Shouta
Yeah, that’s him. Which Konbini are you guys at?
(21:31) Deku
:Sent_Location:
(21:31) Shouta
I’m on my way.
(21:31) Deku
i’m kinda worried though, he looks really shaken up
(21:31) Deku
please hurry
“Hitoshi!”
Shouta’s nephew and Deku looked up at the same time at Shouta’s yell. Hitoshi, previously being held by the can-do hero, sprinted over to Shouta and barreled into his arms.
“Ojisan!”
Shouta held the kid tight, checking over them for injuries. He felt his blood begin to boil as he noticed some scrapes and bruises on their face but forced his fury down. Being mad wouldn’t help the situation. Right now, his kid needed him to be calm and level-headed.
Although, it didn’t mean he couldn’t hold Hitoshi tight and silently vow retaliation at whoever did this to them.
“Aizawa-san!”
Shouta looked up as Deku ran over. The first thing he noticed was that Deku was a lot shorter in real life and at least a few inches shorter than he was. The second thing was the warmth that suddenly welled up inside him.
Without meaning to, Shouta suddenly remembered his conversation with Hizashi and Nemuri, and felt his heart start beating a bit faster.
Damn it.
“Midoriya-san,” he greeted, forcing his blush down. Fuck. This would have been a lot easier if not for his highly illogical realization earlier.
They gave him a soft smile before they turned more solemn, casting their gaze at Hitoshi.
“Shinsou-kun, do you want me to tell Aizawa-san what happened?” They asked, voice gentle.
His kid paused, then nodded. Shouta looked down at them in shock - Midoriya-san had only been with Hitoshi for thirty minutes max, and they already trusted the hero to this extent?
When Shouta first started taking care of the kid, it took a long while to break down all the walls that the kid has built up.
As if reading his mind, Hitoshi mumbled into his jumpsuit, “they know what it’s like.”
Huh? Before Shouta had the time to figure out what they meant, Midoriya-san was speaking again.
“Do you want to be with me when I tell Aizawa-san? Or do you want to go home first?”
The kid peered up from Shouta’s arms to look at Midoriya-san. Part of Shouta clenched at their teary eyes. “Home, please.”
Midoriya-san gave Hitoshi a smile that was somehow reminiscent to that of a mother's. “Hey, Aizawa-san, would you mind if I carried you both to Shinsou-kun’s?”
It took an incredible amount of willpower to not show his shock at the question. They may have been the number one hero, but how would they carry him and Hitoshi at the same time? ...It was probably best to not question it. “If you can, then sure.”
Shouta had never seen Midoriya-san in action up close and personal before. His eyes widened as green crackles of energy sparked over the heroes skin, illuminating them in a soft glow. Their eyes brightened with the quirk activation, dark green going to a more electric hue.
Even Hitoshi moved out of his arms and openly gaped at the display.
Midoriya-san gave a flush at the attention (something that simulatenously piqued Shouta’s interest and caused him to slam his feelings away), and opened their arms. “All aboard the Deku express!”
“So, what happened?”
Hitoshi was in his room, which was where he dashed after he (and Midoriya-san) assured Shouta that he didn’t have any worse injuries than light scrapes and bruises. Midoriya-san and Shouta were sitting in the living room, the only two adults currently in the empty house.
(Shouta didn’t hate his half-brother, he knew the man cared a great amount for his son, but Shouta wished that they were there more often for Hitoshi; the man’s job had him travelling quite frequently and gave him little time to be with his son.)
Midoriya-san’s face twisted into something a little less friendly. “People who are assholes to anyone different. I’ll admit, I was a bit suspicious that Hitoshi was attacked by a villain when I found him, given Hitoshi’s a student at UA, but I talked with the shop staff and saw the footage. It was just normal people. Absolute assholes that are going to get their asses handed to them, but they were civilians.”
They tipped their head back so Shouta couldn’t see their face. Their voice, however, was thick with exhaustion. “I’m going to get my agency to send an arrest-warrant out for them. Not only did they assault a minor, they broke more than a few protection laws and went after a UA student as well.”
“I’ll be first in line to go after them,” Shouta said. “I’m sure you already know, but underground heroes usually don’t require a warrant to go after suspects.”
Midoriya-san snorted. “Then I’ll be first in line with the warrant.” They tipped their head back down, staring intently at their hands. “I hate bigots.”
Shouta nodded, voicing his thoughts as he realized Midoriya-san couldn’t see it. “So do I.” He very carefully shoved away a few painful memories of when he was smaller and less strong, a prime target for bullies with a bone to pick for people with ‘villainous’ quirks.
“I think you heard Shinsou-kun, but I have my fair share of dealing with bullies,” Midoriya-san said. They gave Shouta a tired smile. “It’s not very well known, but I was quirkless up until the day of UA’s entrance exam.”
This time, Shouta couldn’t hide his surprise. A quirk coming in so late was practically unheard of! Nevermind the fact that Midoriya-san had what some people theorized to be one really weird quirk, or seven different ones, (which was also equally as unheard of).
Shouta’s mind flashed to the statistics of what he knew about quirkless people, eyes growing wide with horror. Midoriya-san noticed and looked away.
“Yeah. I’m..the lucky one, I think. I mean not only did I get a quirk-” they laughed, although it was more of a tired exhale “-I lived. 85% of all quirkless teens are killed in some way before senior high school, whether from suicide or a hate crime. And I suffered it all. Physical assault, neglect from my teachers, suicide baiting, including placing spider-lilies on my desk-”
Midoriya-san cut themself off, sitting in silence for a few seconds. “It wasn’t fun. I could go on, but that would only make both of us feel bad.”
Shouta didn’t know what to say. Even as a kid, he thanked whatever higher power there was that he wasn’t quirkless; he saw how they were treated. And although Midoriya-san’s words made him furious at the world, it really didn’t surprise him.
He looked down, formulating his thoughts. “I’m glad you’re alive.” He looked at Midoriya-san at the same time that they turned their head towards him, meeting their gaze. “You’re a good friend, Midoriya-san, and an even better hero. They don’t call you the Symbol of Hope for nothing, and I’m proud to be able to work as colleagues with you.”
Tears started to fall down Midoriya-san’s cheeks. Shit. Shouta panicked, leaping to his feet and rushing to Midoriya-san’s side before he realized what he was doing.
“Shit, uh, I didn’t mean to make you cry, are you okay?”
Damn it, Shouta was never the best at reassuring people.
Midoriya-san shook their head and gave a watery laugh. “No, no, it’s just, I’m happy. You’ve been one of my favourite heroes, an inspiration to me really, and to hear you say that is just - thank you, Aizawa-san.”
Shouta couldn’t hold back his blush or ignore the pounding of his heart. If he was having doubts about it before, there was no denying it now.
Shouta was completely and totally head over heels for Midoriya-san.

Izuku jumped to the side, narrowly missing a spike driven their way. They were painfully aware of the projectile, having already been stabbed by a few. Another spike whipped by their left, forcing them back on the defensive.
At least a few hundred villains lay strewn across the rubbled streets where Izuku'd fought them, but it seemed like for every villain downed another would take the place. They'd ambushed Izuku as a group; a huge mass of villains frothing at the mouth to take down the Symbol of Hope.
And Izuku wasn't in the best shape to fight them off.
Exhaustion blurred their mind, dulling usually sharp reflexes. They dodged again, too slow, paying the price in a spike grazing their calf. Izuku winced, the sting of pain momentarily clearing their head.
“Smash!”
A gust of wind from Izuku’s punch knocked the still upright villains down and sent the hero flying up into the air. They took advantage of the higher ground, sending a few more concentrated blasts of 100% before landing again. Their ankle jostled as they did, forcibly reminding them of all the injuries they had. Please let that have been the last of the villains. Izuku wasn't sure if they could handle any more.
Much to their horror, more villains crawled out from the broken battlefield. Shit. There wasn’t any way Izuku could retreat either - they were still waiting for reinforcements, and there were emergency personnel behind them taking care of the injured civilians.
If Izuku left then they’d all die.
Izuku would give their life up 100 times over before they allowed that to happen.
The activation of black whip gave Izuku temporary advantage. They grabbed hold of a group of advancing villains and twisted their body into a leap, using the momentum to carry the world’s most unsafe bowling ball through the rest of their enemies.
Still, it didn’t keep their enemies down for long. Think, Izuku, think. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t. Panic dragged their thoughts in several directions; sleep addled it so they couldn’t make sense of the words flying through their brain.
They wouldn’t be able to keep going for much longer.
Jump and avoid another spike. Leap to the side. Dodge a villain coming their way. Duck underneath a different attack. Go on the offensive for a second to buy some time. Leap back.
It was a pattern of destruction, each action making them more and more exhausted. They paused, each breath coming out as a choked gasp. Their vision blacked for a second, ears going deaf-
Izuku looked up to see the sharp edge of several stalagmite-looking projectiles heading their way. Shit. They needed to move, but when they tried to, their legs went limp and they started falling directly against the ground.
This was it, wasn’t it?
Izuku closed their eyes, tears of frustration flying down their cheeks.
I’m sorry.
Arms wrapped around Izuku before they could hit the ground. It was a struggle just to open their eyes to see their saviour, but it wasn’t hard to recognize the figure of Aizawa-san.
“..’azawa-’an?” Izuku slurred. The man adjusted his grip so Izuku his arms was under their knees and back. Izuku tilted their head down. Ah. They were being held bridal style? A part of Izuku seemed to light up at that fact, but the bigger part of them was just so tired.
The feeling of movement and the sound of an incoming torrent of explosions carried them to blackness.
They came to the sound of beeping. Ah. Beeping? Wait, that wasn’t their alarm. Why were they hearing this?
Izuku twitched, cracking open their eyes and flinching back as fluorescent light immediately assaulted them. They screwed their eyes shut, trying to pull their hands up to rub away the stinging sensation. Something tugged at their hand as they did.
They opened their eyes again, slower this time, blinking to get used to the harsh contrast. There was an IV in their hand. Why was there an IV in their hand? Izuku followed it up, noticing the bandages covering them. Then the sleeping gown they wore. Then the heart monitor.
Ah. That was where the noise was coming from.
“Izuku?”
Izuku slowly turned their head, eyes widening at the sight of their parents sitting on chairs next to them. “Mom? Dad?” They whispered, voice coming out as a slight croak. Their dad leaned over, skeletal hand ruffling their hair. Their mom held their hand, tears beginning to fall down her face.
“You gave us quite the scare," their dad said, voice soft.
Izuku cracked a small smile. “Sorry.”
“Don’t be, my boy.”
His mom gave him a watery smile. “You worried a lot of people. But, you did good Izu-kun.”
The door swung open. Izuku flinched and looked over to the loud noise, spotting their friends piling into the door.
“Everyone?”
It was quite a sight. Ten pro heroes walk into a cramped hospital room to see their number one friend who's with their ex-number one hero dad. Izuku snorted internally at their terrible joke, then gave their friends an expectant look.
As if pressing play on a video, all of them barreled towards Izuku. Ochako was the first to reach their side, tears falling down her cheeks.
“Zuzu! You idiot!”
Kacchan barrelled over. Izuku blinked in shock as they saw the tears on his face. The tears on all of their friends faces.
“You fucking idiot! We thought-” he broke off, shaking, voice hoarse “-we thought you died! You flatlined several times!”
Damn it. Izuku couldn’t be dry eyed if everyone else was going to cry. Tears welled up in their own eyes and they ducked their head down, sniffling.
“Sorry for worrying you all.”
“It’s not your fucking fault!”
Seeing all of their friends, their family, sent a warm feeling through Izuku. They perked up, remembering the feeling of arms around them in the fight.
“Oh.” Izuku squeaked. “Did..did Aizawa-san hold me?”
Kacchan snorted. “Not only did he hold you bridal style the entire time, he single-handedly took down most of the villains without using his arms. He’s fucking terrifying.”
Izuku felt the urge to curl up in a ball and die of embarrassment. “Oh. That’s-ok.” Wait. Where was Aizawa-san? “Where is he?”
Tsuyu was the one to answer, pointing towards the door with a, “outside, ribbit. He wanted all of us to be able to speak with you first.”
Izuku looked over to the door, brows furrowing. “Ah.” Was..Aizawa-san mad at them? They did break their "promise" to the man about taking care of themself.
“I’ve never seen him so mad,” their dad interjected, breaking Izuku's train of though. When Izuku looked over to him, his blue eyes were sparkling brightly in the shadows of his face. “When the fight was over, he ran you here in his arms! Even though he was injured too!”
“He cares about you a lot.” Keigo’s wings ruffled in what Izuku knew to be amusement. Was he teasing them? Asshole. Izuku stuck their tongue out, grinning at the bark of laughter they recieved from their friend.
“We all care about you, sweetie.”
Leave it to their mom to bring back the original topic at hand. Izuku grabbed their mom’s hand with their free one, eyes fluttering shut as she leaned forward to kiss them gently on the forehead.
“You’re our hero. Our Izuku.”
And there, in the hospital room, surrounded by the people they loved, Izuku couldn’t think of anywhere else they’d rather be.
Izuku wasn’t sure how much time passed until their parents and friends left. It had turned to evening though, instead the bright sunny light from earlier, so at least a few hours.
Of course, they still had a visitor left. Their hands were clammy and their stomach was twisting in knots when they called, “come in!”
Aizawa-san stepped in, immediately zooming in on Izuku. “You’re okay,” he breathed, looking like he didn’t quite believe it. Izuku nodded, giving them a smile. (Thank all the gods Izuku knew of, he didn't seem to be mad at them.)
“Thanks to you. I remember you saving me.”
The man looked down, cheeks tinting slightly. Or maybe Izuku was just imagining it? They were probably being hopeful and imagining it.
He sat down in the chair closest to Izuku, still looking down. Izuku frowned, worry piling on top of the already huge mass of anxiety lodged in them. “Aizawa-san?”
“I was worried,” he said quietly, voice hoarse. “About you. When I saw you on the news, struggling to keep your own, I panicked. I moved without thinking. The only thing I wanted to do was get to you. And when I saw you, about to die-” he cut off with a choked off sound, shoulders hunching in as he pressed his knuckles to his lips. He turned his gaze up to Izuku. They couldn’t help but flush, feeling the full weight of his intense gaze on them.
His eyes were dark and puffy, as if he’d been crying for a while. Izuku’s heart ached at the thought, then even more as they realized that they were the cause of the man’s tears.
“You scared me.”
Izuku reached out, wrapping their hand around one of his. “I’m sorry.”
He shook his head. “Don’t be.”
And maybe it was the stillness of the hospital room, the way the last of the sun’s rays filtered in through the window and bathed everything in hues of pinks and golds to make it seem like a different world, the way that disbelief and joy sat heavy in the air because Izuku had lived.
But something broke in Izuku, filling them with a strange sense of determination. They couldn’t carry on with keeping their feelings a secret.
“As I was dying, I was mad. I was upset because there was so much I wanted to do, so much I hadn’t done yet,” Izuku said. They looked away from Aizawa-san, instead studying the thin blanket over them. “But there was-there is one thing that I regretted the most.”
Izuku fell silent. They needed to tell him. They had to. No matter what. Izuku didn’t want to die without being able to tell Aizawa-san how they felt.
They looked up, staring Aizawa-san directly in the eyes.
“I love you, Aizawa-san.”
A wave of relief crashed into Izuku the second they said it. No matter what the man’s reaction was, Izuku would never regret telling him the truth.
They were expecting a lot of things. For Aizawa-san to get mad. For Aizawa-san to leave. For Aizawa-san (and they dared hope to think this) to accept their confession.
What they weren’t expecting was for Aizawa-san to start crying.
“Ai-Aizawa-san? Are you okay?” Izuku asked, a mix bewildered and concerned. The man's head was turned down so Izuku couldn’t see his face, but they could see how their shoulders shook. Then, Izuku heard their voice.
“Thank God. Thank God.”
Izuku made a noise between a squeak and a screech as the man buried his face into the palm of their hand, lips pressing against rough calluses. His hands were holding onto Izuku's like it was a lifeline, and he looked at Izuku through the lids of his eyes, gaze freezing Izuku in place with its intensity.
"I love you too, Midoriya-san.”
Was Izuku dreaming? There was no way that this wasn’t heaven. They probably died, and this was just the last dredges of their sanity trying to grasp to life.
But, as Aizawa-san continued to press kisses to their hand, touch so light and yet so heavy, there wasn’t any way that this wasn’t reality. Izuku began to tremble, hiding their face as they cried.
Aizawa-san made a noise of concern, and Izuku felt them lean over him. Then they felt a hand leave theirs, then fingers brushing against their temple. “Midoriya-san?”
“I’m so happy. I’m so happy, Aizawa-san,” Izuku choked out.
When they looked at Aizawa-san, they realized that their face was only inches from his. Their eyes flicked down to his lips, before snapping back up, on to see Aizawa-san’s do the same.
Their lips curved upwards, the tiniest of smiles. Izuku could feel their own stretch into one much wider. And in the stillness of the hospital room, feeling so big and so small, Izuku leaned forward.
No one could accurately define perfect, but Izuku was pretty sure that they just found it when they felt Aizawa-san’s lips against their own. There weren’t any other words to describe it.
The man reached down to grab Izuku’s waist, and Izuku wrapped their arms around his shoulders. And it was that. Perfect.
“I love you, Aizawa-san,” Izuku mumbled into the kiss.
“I love you, Midoriya-san.”
His breath was heavy and hot against Izuku's lips, his stubble was scratchy, his hands were warm and hard. It was everything and more than what Izuku dreamed of, and it was theirs. This was theirs. The thought made them hum happily and lean into the kiss.
Aizawa-san responded in kind, hands momentarily squeezing Izuku.
And in the silence they stayed there, wrapped in each other’s embrace. And in the silence they stayed there, exchanging slow kisses and finding out how perfect it felt to be with each other.
(20:00) Shouta <3!
I’m here.
When Izuku saw the message, they raced through their apartment and flung open their door. There their boyfriend stood, holding a bag in one hand and a grin on his face.
Izuku gave them a playful smile and stepped out of the doorway, letting him come in. “Are you ready to change your mind on ghosts?”
“Izuku?”
“Yeah?”
“Why are your lights flickering on and off?”
Izuku grumbled from their position in Shouta’s arms and rolled over, all grumpiness vanishing at the sight of his face. It still felt impossible that Shouta was their boyfriend.
“I thought you didn’t believe in ghosts?” Izuku teased.
He pulled them closer, one arm wrapped around their waist. “I don’t. I do think though that whoever’s fucking around here is gonna get their ass kicked by me. It’s too early in the morning for this.”
Izuku snorted. “If the ghosts here you say that, they’re gonna be mad.”
Shouta gave them a quick kiss. “Shh. If whoever’s around hears me, good, because they should know better than to fuck with a pissed off and tired underground hero.”
“I don’t think that’s how the supernatural works, Shou.”
His boyfriend made a noise of annoyance. “Fine. In the morning we’ll call an exorcist if it’ll make you feel better.” He sighed, then Izuku felt him press a kiss to their forehead. "I can't believe I just said that," Shouta grumbled, seemingly more to himself. Izuku snickered, but got cut off by a light flick to his forehead. “But this doesn’t mean I’m admitting defeat.”
Izuku smiled, then snuggled closer against Shouta. “Whatever you say, Shou. Whatever you say.”
