Chapter Text

Their group split up, Mirio went ahead to go get Eri faster, Lock Rock needed to stay behind because of Toga’s sneak attack, everyone was probably fighting with all they had and lastly Eraserhead and him were breaking down walls to try and get to Mirio faster. They saw Toga earlier, well more like Izuku was attacked by Toga earlier. They didn’t know why Sazanka decided to have the LOV team up with the Shie Hassaikai. While going as fast as they could they heard an echoey voice but decided it was best to just try and find where they would most be needed. Izuku was kicking down wall after wall after wall, it was repetitive and kept his mind on the main task. Everything was hectic and everyone was everywhere but that didn’t matter as long as they were able to save Eri. A rumble of the ground made him almost fall down but he regained his footing quick enough. 

“MIDORI-” 

When did he get so far away from his sensei? Izuku whips his head around to see about 4 to 5 walls suddenly recover and the floor shifts, walls moving as a echoed laugh is heard. He looks at the wall for a little bit before snapping back into reality, running for the wall and blasting through it just like he had with all the others. This one led to… to where he wasn’t before. The floor shifted and the wall he just broke down was fixed again. The voices from a fight could be heard but it sounded muffled and still had an echo to it. Where was Eraserhead? He needed to go back to his teacher. He kicked down another wall that was in the direction of where Aizawa was before, and another and another and another. He kicked in down more and more but he seemed to never get closer, the floor sifting and walls being fixed at random. 

Izuku couldn’t find them but he could still hear the fighting, muffled and echoed in a way that doesn't tell him which direction it’s coming from. He pants as he looks around, trying to think of where to go. What to do? Is Aizawa sensei going to be okay? Taking a deep breath, holding it and then letting it go, Izuku looked around and picked a direction. If he could just get to Mirio to help him then it will go smoother, he could help save Eri and put an end to Overhaul. He might have to be a distraction or something while they took care of that monster but he’ll do anything to keep them all safe. Green lighting then the smell of ozone fills the air and he charges through more of the walls. 

One after another, it was the same outcome: Empty hallways or weirdly shaped rooms. He moves on and goes as fast as he could while saving most of the energy he has, not wanting to tire so easily. Some of the lights seemed to not work in some areas, which must be because of Mimic’s influence on the underground building. The voices and sound of fighting doesn't get closer but Izuku thinks he’s finally making leeway at least. Izuku found a room with a sad looking bed but there were many different types of toys and dolls laying around, cobwebs scattered around the room tell him how much they get played with though. This must have been where they kept Eri, so if he just followed the way to the sound of fighting then he should get back to where everyone was faster. 

Izuku rips the door off its hinges and he is off again, taking a right but it didn’t really matter because he doesn't really know what way was up from down at this point. Mimic could have flipped the hallways for all that he knows, it’s not like he would be able to notice the concrete walls, ceiling and floor changing at all. He runs and breaks another wall or two down, not knowing where to go. He’s so useless. Where are they? How could he not even be able to keep up with everyone when they were right in front of them. The walls started to look a little worse for wear now, dirty and unclean, unusual . That means a fight happened near here, right? Overhaul hates things not being cleaned and perfect. Izuku pushes on and sees how some of the lights start to look old, cracked or just not working at all.

Is he going the wrong way? Whipping his head around, looking for where he should go next, he breaks down the wall to his left and is met with nothing but rocks, no other hallways. So maybe he’s too far in now? He is just so useless. Tears sting his eyes as he looks around trying to remember which way and what hall he took to get here but this place was a maze, is a maze. Izuku can’t cry now, he needs to, he needs to help everyone. He turns around and hopes that he could find his way back to the better parts of the complex, movement from behind him makes him stop though. 

Izuku spins around and looks to the empty hallway in front of him, further down is nothing but slowly growing dark and random different hallways going in all directions. He can’t see anything, no one is here. Izuku can’t feel anything or anyone looking at him but this doesn't help his nerves. It’s a bad idea to drop one's guard in the enemy's home base to begin with. Glaring at the hallway one more time, he slowly turns and starts making his way back to where he hopefully came from. 

It was too late.

It was too fast for him to keep up with.

Izuku was tackled and pinned to the ground, he of course struggled and tried to get whoever was on top of him off but it didn’t work. Blood rushed into his ears as he tried to move but it felt like he had multiple things pinning him down, legs or hands, Izuku couldn’t tell. He was tired but he had enough energy left in him to fight. Green light filled the corridor as Izuku struggled to push off the one holding him down, not hurting him but still it was bad to be caught like this. Feeling something was still holding him down but with enough struggling he was able to move around until he was finally facing the one holding him. He really should have conserved more energy than this.

The face he was looking at was mutated, that of an arachnid type, maybe pedipalps neatly folded into the sides of their face, cheeks looking like slits ran through them where the pedipalps lay comfortably. They had piercing red eyes, 4 that he could see, one pare being where they are normally and a smaller set under them. White, their hair was long and white, almost silk like or like millions of thin small spider threads. Izuku’s eyes travel down their face, that seems more masculine but he’s not going to assume and be an asshole. The bottom half of their face was made out of a black type of skin besides the white mole/dot under the left side of his lip, no real bottom lip but there was a scar on the right side of their lip going down to the lower half as it turned more of a grayish white instead of pinkish white on the human skin. Now that he noticed that one, there was another one going over their left ey- well if he was to think of it as him being in their shoes it would be the scar for his lip is on the left side and the one over their eye is on the right. Their hair moved a bit as he struggled in their hold, lightly waving from the jerks as he slowly got more tired from quirk over use….. They aren't hurting him. Why?

Red burning eyes blink at him as Izuku’s eyes look further down to see that they don’t have a shirt on , the black skin started again near the bottom of their abdomen, close to their navel but just a tad bit lower. Their arms however started to turn to black skin in the middle of their bicep/top parts in their arms. The human skin seemed dry while the black skin seemed a bit more smooth in nature. A puff of air made his mind come crashing down to look back into those red red eyes, full… f-full of something, Izuku can’t tell but it makes him feel like a piece of meat ready to be taken. He didn’t know when but at one point he stopped thrashing, stopped his quirk so it’s no longer lighting up the dime hallway in green, stopped being so scared and he no longer had blood running through his veins faster than a bullet. 

Izuku blinks, feeling his eyes sting from being open for so long but the one holding him down hasn’t done anything besides keeping him in place. How long have they been holding him down by now? Another puff of air hits his face making him shiver as heat radiates off them. “Wh- wha-” He tried to talk because what if this person was trapped here like Eri. They didn’t seem violent and didn’t really have clothes… on… at all. They were lucky that their mutation made it so their privates are hidden or tucked inside or something along those lines. It would be extremely awkward if they couldn’t do that. With Izuku’s failed attempt to talk, they leaned in closer, their head tucked loosely into his shoulder. Since they were so close Izuku could see another pair of eyes are in-between the space of their ‘normal’ set and their ears. He shivered again at the feeling of hot breath of his neck, some type of sound coming from them. They might be trying to talk but it sounded like their throat was overly dry or just really rough in general. 

“I-... I love you…. Please I need you to bear my children.” The quiet whisper from the stranger freezes Izuku in his place, unable to process what was just asked of him. Another hot puff of air and then two sharp pricks enter his shoulder making it feel like it was on fire. Then it felt like someone just relaxed the muscles in his shoulder and with that tension released, Izuku couldn’t stop himself from letting out a relieved type…. Moan ….., it was more of a moan instead of a grunt and he had to point that out because it seemed to make the other perk up. He couldn’t help it, whatever they did felt so… nice …. So relaxing. The relaxed feeling from his shoulder quickly spread and now he felt like he had the best massage given to him on earth. Izuku trembles out an exhale as they finally let go of his shoulder, what were they doing?  Was it poison or some type of venom?

“I love you.” Why are they saying this? Didn’t they just bite him, do they need help? Izuku is supposed to be helping someone right now right? He’s in a raid, he needs to be fighting. He needs to be saving someone, someone with white hair and red eyes.

“D-d-d-d-do you nee-ed he-... mmm… help.” A shiver travels down his back at the feeling of impossibly warm hands kneeling his back, he’s still laying on the ground but they don’t seem to care much. The warm hands wrap around him, not too dissimilar to a hug, as they slowly pick him up and pull him over to a wall so he could lean on it. Izuku just felt so relaxed and calm, it was nice. He slowly blinks at them as they sit beside him, cuddling into his side. 

“Can you help me by bearing my children?” They said that earlier too, right? They feel so warm, so nice and their hair feels so soft. It’s a beautiful white color that almost looks impossible.

“Will you bear my children?” Again with this.

Izuku huffs as he somehow moves his head to look at them, it didn’t hurt to move or even that hard but he just wanted to stay still and just relax more. “I-i don’t kn-now you.” They cuddled into his side more, warm, and looked up at him from under his arm that they draped over themselves, it was a little weird because they were taller than him after all.

“That just means we need to get to know each other.” Their voice is so nice and deep, a bit raspy as they whisper into the air around them. They haven’t spoken louder than a whisper this whole time, maybe their throat hurts? What did they ask him again? “W-w-what?”

“Get to know me then bear my children.” That seems reasonable, then they won't be strangers right, he could get to know them. Izuku nodded his head, trying his best not to fall asleep because now he has to get to know this person. They needed him too right, it was to help them out. Izuku came here to help someone right, it was them right? “Then, so you know, I am male and go by he/him.” That would be the most logical conclusion with how they are asking him to bear his children or someth-… wait.

“I-i can’t-’t carry kids…. Y-you ca-” A hand was lightly pressed to his mouth as he looked into those deep red eyes. It’s as if those eyes are telling him that he’s able too, that it was extremely possible, Izuku doesn't think he can but…. But maybe he can? Did he just forget, he is forgetting a lot of things right now. “O-o-oh…. S-s-sorry I for-orgot.” Izuku’s face felt like it was on fire as he saw how much care and love was on the other person's face. His hand was now cupping his cheek, gently caressing it and rubbing their thumb against his cheek. He nodded his head and waited for him to talk again, he’ll just wait for them to explain everything to him. He'll be able to help better after knowing all his bases, if he remembers them after they are told to him. Why is he forgetting so much right now?

“My name… it doesn't really matter but I know how much you humans love using them.” Human? Did he just separate himself from humans because people treat him like a monster or less than human. Izuku understands that feeling all too well, he was less than human once but he also is trying to become a hero to stop that from happening again, to help the humans. He’s supposed to be helping them right now. “My name…. Is Tomura.” Izuku felt a rush of something go through him as Tomura spoke his name out loud but he was still whispering. It was nice, it felt right, it was perfect.

“I need you to be my mate….. Bear my children.” He groggily blinked his eyes as they started to cuddle into him, it made warmth bloom in his chest. “I will love you like no one else…. Protect you like no one else….” Tomura nuzzled his face into his chest, looking at him with nothing but love and devotion. “I would always put your life before mine, our children's life before mine.” Would that make Izuku the mom or the dad? He was supposed to be helping someone right now though, with white hair and red eyes. Who was he supposed to be helping again? He was fighting something.

“You will never feel hunger, never know pain again…. I will be with you forever until time stops. Further past that, after time dematerialized and it’s only you and me left.” He wouldn’t be alone anymore. Izuku would finally have someone with him and love him like no one else has, his mother loved him but that was conditional. He knows that she will take back that love if she wasn’t in the mood to deal with him, it wasn’t common but if he was too much…. “Please bear my children. Let me merge with you.” A rumbling from the ground made Tomura quickly swivel his head around, looking worried. 

“I-i-i-i-i’ll keep you safe.” At his words the arachnid looked at him with wide eyes, Izuku only smiled tiredly but still so bright. His one arm was already draped over Tomura’s shoulder so he just moved so that he could hold them against his chest. “I’ll b-be with you and ma-ake sure no-o one ev-ever hurts y-y-you.” He was tense but as soon as Izuku said those words, Tomura relaxed more into his hold. He was supposed to be helping someone, it was Tomura right. He needed to save Tomura. “I’ll save you.”

Tomura just continued to look at him with wide eyes, emotion swirling in those deep red pits the arachnid has. Izuku just smiled and held him tighter, he needed to help those and make sure no one feels less than human ever again. “You….. you actually… y-you actually want this?” They whispered out and Izuku was a little bit confused, if bearing his children would help. Izuku will help, he wants to help, he’s meant to help, his purpose is to help. His dream is to help everyone, he will help everyone. “You…. Want this?”

“Yes.”

They sat in silence for a little until Tomura started to untangle himself from him, this made Izuku whine but he was quickly subdued by having a hand on the back of his neck. The feelings of hands on his back again, finding the spot that opens his hero suit. “W-wait wha-at are you?”

“We must merge….. To help me bear my children… our children … we must merge.” All too quickly, hot hands were in his back making him tense a bit but soon relaxing. Izuku leans forward and rests his head on Tomura’s shoulder, panting slightly as he works the top part on his hero suit off. The cold air that touched his skin made him shiver but he was quickly consumed by warm arms and pressed against a burning hot body. “I want to merge with you…. Bear our children with you…. It will not hurt.” 

Izuku shivers as one of those pitch black hands racks down his back, going lower so that it’s easier to remove the bottom half of his hero suit. “What is your name, my light?.... Humans just love their names.” He trembles and shakily exhales a breath at the feeling of hot hands on the skin of his hips, rubbing calming circles. Gladly being pulled closer into the heat Tomura radiates, the air in the hallway is so cold. 

“I-i-izuku… M-mido-doriya.” He moans as he was bitten, this time intensely, on the shoulder again. It was so warm, it felt like fire was slowly growing under his skin waiting to be released. Izuku panted as Tomura pulled back a little, he whined from the loss of his extra heat. The halls are just too cold now. 

“Izuku Midoriya…. You will bear our children.” It felt like he was being consumed in a huge fire.

Chapter Text

Shouta didn’t know what happened to Midoriya or where he went. He was busy fighting a room of a person that somehow became the whole fucking building. He got covered in more bruises, cuts, and scraps but when back up was finally able to arrive, luckily somehow and surprisingly, Fatgum helped finish the big guy off. He asked why Fatgum was there and… with the enemy, all he got was ‘the room started to shift and we heard a loud laugh so I had to make sure whoever was fighting was okay’ . The villain, who still didn’t attack him or help out called Kendo, just stood by saying ‘I needed to make sure no one took out the person I want to fight again when he’s in such a weak state’ .

Shouta didn’t really get it but Kendo was listening to what Fatgum was saying. He’s always been on the darker side of heroics so, he hopes others can deal with this till they can arrest him. After they parted ways again, he started to look for Midoriya. His student was nowhere to be seen or heard from, Rock Lock was unable to go with him but that was fine. Rock believed that Midoriya needed more help than he actually did, Shouta believed that the kid could at least take care of himself until help arrived. He knows his students are stronger than most think and they always end up at the top when all the chaos ends. Sounds of shuffling makes him spin to his right, seeing that it wasn’t an enemy but instead Sir Nighteye.

Shouta blinked and rubbed his eyes a bit. “Sorry about that Nighteye. I didn’t think it was you, you don’t seem to be too battered up.” Nighteye just nodded and then looked around, probably for Midoriya who he has yet to find.

“Where is Deku?” He bit the inside of his cheek at the thought of his student facing off against someone he was not ready for. Shouta slightly glares at Nighteye, not angry at him but just at the situation. “I don’t know. We got split up and then I’m guessing he got lost trying to get back to me.” They start moving to break another wall down, Nighteye using a stamp so that the wall breaks. Now Shouta doesn't have to just follow the twisting and shifting around hallways anymore. “I’ve been trying to find him and also trying to find Overhaul. The paths are all messed up because of Mimic so nothing makes sense anymore…. Well makes 10x less sense than it did before but I think Overhaul should be this way.”

Nighteye broke another wall that was in their way, both of them tense as they slowly heard the noise of fighting and yelling grow louder. Shouta nodded to Nighteye as they got ready for a fight, most likely a desperate one with how many people will be in the room and both him and Nighteye being best at only small groups not big ones. “Deku is probably fighting there right now, I have that much faith in him to not get that lost.”

Shouta nodded his head again to Nighteyes quiet remark. Knowing his problem child, he is already fighting to his fullest and has taken down at least 2 people. “We shouldn’t make them wait any longer then.” The noise sounded like it was right in front of them now as the last wall they needed to break was before them. Both of them quickly collect themselves as the wall breaks down and Shouta erases all the quirks in the room as soon as he can clearly see. 

Oh, this is going to be a hard battle.

—-------------------------------------------

How did it end up like this? Shouta was on the outskirts of the now giant space with Chronostasis, whose real name is Hari Kurono, on top of him telling him what’s going to happen and why he can’t move anymore. He saw how much the fight was affecting Nighteye, he almost got impaled but now just a piece of his left side was taken out instead of just a hole in the middle of himself. Shouta tried moving again, he needed to help but because of Kurono’s quirk it would take ages just to activate his own quirk. He is still trying because it might help but Nighteye might bleed out before he’s even able to activate it. 

One good thing is that Mirio took Eri out of this place and getting her to the medics. Shouta is happy a child doesn't have to see more blood and death, this was all to much for one child to deal with. “Don’t you see Aizawa Shouta, once Overhaul has his mind made up. He will use anything and everything to get to his goal and maybe after today you will be a new puzzle piece in that goal.” Shouta didn’t pay attention to the mad man on top of him, focusing solely on the fight as Nighteye almost gets impaled again but this time makes his right side lose some mass instead. 

“See, look at how Overhaul is able to easily beat every odd set against him.” Shouta sees movement out of his right eye and starts to look over there, still trying to activate his quirk but it’s not going fast enough. “No matter who opposes him, he will always come out on top.” he sees green, a green hero suit that he’s been trying not to worry about this whole fight. “No one can beat Overhaul and all shall bow down to him once everyone is finally equal again. No quirks, just equality.” Shouta stares as his student, Izuku Midoriya, stumbles into the giant room. 

He takes in his students' appearance and is confused who he could have fought. Midoriya’s hero suit looks to be a bit weird, it's slightly lopsided and not zipped up completely, like it was taken off at one point. He can’t tell if he is injured or just tired but Midoriya is wobbly on his legs as he slowly walks in, head casted down so he couldn’t see his face clearly. Something happened to his student and he wants to know now because he can’t tell if someone fought him or something else, something in the back of his mind is screaming how off his kid is. A loud yell and suddenly slight quiet made him try to look at Overhaul but he was not fast enough to look over to see it. Shouta was able to see green electricity light up around his student before he flew toward Overhaul though. 

“WHat?!? Where did he come from?!?” Shouta can’t see what he’s talking about but he must be talking about Midoriya because he is now out of his line of sight. He tried to look over faster but he’s still so slow. Shouta really wants this quirk to wear out now, it’s getting repetitive and annoying and his student could be getting hurt right now. He was wobbling when he came into this fight, who was he fighting against before this. “Damn it!” He feels Kurono shifting around trying to get out of the white binding cloth that he was able to wrap around him before the quirk took hold. “Damn it! DAmn It!! GOD FUCKING DAMN IT AND YOUR STUPID BINDLING CLOTH!!!” 

Shouta felt panic moment above him but he still was slowly moving his head to look at the fight his student was in. Before Kurono seemed not to mind being tied up in his cloth because Overhaul didn't need any help but now that he is in danger….. Kurono seems to be trying a lot harder to get out. “If I only had a knife, how do you untangle this thing?” Shouta heard him quietly talk to himself as he continued to try and get free. Green lighting zips across his vision and his student fights on. “Wha-”

“I don’t want any of this.” The voice of a little girl enters his ear as he still can’t move. This child shouldn’t be here, Midoirya shouldn’t be fighting this fight, no child should be in this mess. Why is she back? Is Mirio okay? He was injured when he left, did that mean he succumbed to his injuries? “ᴹʸ ᶜʰᶦˡᵈ.” Why did Midoriya’s voice say that Panic rages his mind as he tries to think of ways for this battle to end fine, end where his student is alive and Eri gets to live another day in the sun and not in these cold concrete walls.

He can’t even help in this fight, Aizawa Shouta feels so very useless.

—--------------------------------------

How was he supposed to help? Shouta ran over to Nighteye after he made sure that all of the villains couldn’t escape. He could finally move but he couldn’t help with the fight, at all. Midorya fights on in the air overhead with Eri on his back, Overhaul turned himself into a monster, that he is, but now it was much harder to beat. “Don’t worry, I made sure all the villains were tied up and unable to escape before coming to you.” Shouta said as Nighteye painfully glared at him, blood seeping into the ground as he couldn't move at all. 

“I’ll get you to the medics as soon as I can, we might be able to save you. No, they will be able to save you, you aren't too far gone.” He begins to pick him up as he tries to see if his Walkie-talkie works now. It wasn’t working underground for some reason but now with that giant hole above them, Shouta has to be able to connect now. “You’ll live through this, you almost got him but he had to pull that bullshit.” Thinking about how Overhaul used someone else's body to make himself strong made Shouta’s gut roll. It was disgusting and awful, not to mention all the other things he’s done but fusing with someone else just to kill is wrong in so many ways. Did that guy even say it was okay , is he now dead or is he still alive. Shouta doesn't know but he does know that he has to get Nighteye to the medics right now. 

“This is AG team, we moved the nurses tent a little further away than before just in case something happens. Bring all injured here if you can or perform the basics before arriving here.” He needed to do his job and save as many people as he could, Shouta can’t help in this fight like…. Like this.  

—------------------------------------------

“Where is my student?” Shouta says with a hard and steady voice to the nurse in front of him. He hasn’t been able to check on Midoriya this whole time but he saw him, he was okay and it was thanks to Eri’s quirk. He understands double checking things to make sure nothing unwanted happens and that Midoriya doesn't fall apart randomly but it’s been so long. It’s making him worry. “Aizawa, you’ll be able to see your student soon. We just wanted to run some extra test as a just in case.”

He huffs and walks back to sit down in the waiting chairs, Zashi was texting him the whole time. The blond was trying to reassure him but Shouta was worried, something felt wrong and he didn’t know why. He feels like someone got to his problem child before the fight with Overhaul and they did but what did they do? Midoriya looked ruffed up but in an odd way his cloths look looser on him or put on wrong 

Sunshine: calm down grumpy butt. I’m sure they are almost done with all the tests. 

Sunshine : I mean, if I was rewinded multiple times and continuously broke myself during that time. I would love multiple tests because that HAS to have some type of fucking draw back to it.

“Aizawa Shouta.” His head snaps up to look at the doctor not too far from him. All of his anxiety flushes away as he sees Midoriya standing behind the doctor, still in his hero suit but looking much better than before. Shouta gets up and speed walks closer, trying to get a better look at his student who is still behind the doctor. “Okay, so everything seems to be okay… ish.” He raised an eyebrow and slightly leaned over to look closer at his student who wasn’t moving away from behind the doctor. “His arms are in a very bad state because of all the rewinds. We recommend not using his arms with his power, it was recommended before as well but now if Midoriya messes up again. If one more break happens then he will lose all function in that arm forever.” 

Shouta can see Midoriya, his eyes seemed distant and hazy with sleep or tiredness, he can’t tell. That would make sense with what he just got done doing but Midoriya always looks wide awake 24-7 because it was part of his ‘sunshine personality’. he still needs to look into that “Besides that, we think because of all the rewinds that his mind is trying to… let's say catch up to what’s happening around him.” He glares at the doctor, waiting for more that needs to be added on to that as they flip through some pages on their clipboard. “Eri’s quirk, to what we think, doesn't just rewind the injuries formed but also everything else in the body or the body itself. What we are thinking is that every time he broke a bone, his mind was also rewound with it.” OKAY , that was really worrying for Shouta. His eyes darted back over to his student who finally seemed to notice his presents, face smiling but tired and looking hazy still.

“Now imaging the strain one would have to continuously have their memories rewound in a single moment and not to mention in the middle of a fight . We think you might need to give him some time alone or maybe with friends, whatever the boy seems to like more, to slowly catch up. Besides that, you need to keep track of the memory or hazy problem we have here. Midoriya Izuku is good to go back to UA and we suggest not going back to internships or tough training until he’s all fully there.” Shouta looks back at the doctor who seemed to be giving a smile. “He’s in your care now, make sure to take him to a hospital if anything seems out of place.”

With that the doctor walks away and his problem child just stands there, looking extremely out of it. Shouta stairs for a bit before the kid finally registered that the doctor was gone, looking him in the eyes instead. “Wh-..... g-g-goo?” His words were broken and a little hard to understand and not to mention the poor kid's voice was so scratchy and rough, he was screaming a lot in that fight and for today as a whole.  Midoriya took some wobbly steps closer to him and stopped right beside him. Shouta put his arms out just in case the kid fell, maybe sitting for a while would be a good idea when they could. “Hun…. hun…. Hung–  ee?” 

feels like someone is watching him Shouta staired for a little while longer looking with his peripherals to see if someone was watching them but eventually huffed out a laugh as he turned around, walking close to the kid but not right beside him. He slowly began to walk, motioning for Midoriya to follow. The kid didn’t so he just lightly tugged on his sleeve so that Midoriya could at least just mindlessly follow better. “Yea problem child, we can go get something to eat? I think that’s what you asked for. After you change out of those clothes and we are closer to the school.” The kid blinked at him slowly, it took a few seconds for Midoriya to nod to him but he eventually got there. “Yea, closer to the school….. Never know when you might get caught up in something.” 

And on they went to get his clothes and things from Nighteye’s agency, making the kid change out of his clothes, and going to get something to eat closer to UA. Zashi texted a few more times, phone buzzing in his pocket with each one going through. He’ll look at them when he gets to the car. he still feels a little on edge for some reason even when he couldn’t find someone watching them

Chapter Text

Shouta was watching Midoriya the best he could but it was a bit hard. The kid has missed a lot around him because of Midoriya being so out of it. So far enough time has passed that all the other internship kids are in the dorms by now and he still seems….. Not there , gone or floating around in his own head and even mumbling to himself sometimes like the kid normally does. Shouta thought it would be a better idea to let the problem child relax away from everyone because when he mentioned them he seemed to shake a bit, so the teacher's dorm is where he slept last night. He should focus on what Midoriya will need to be updated on when he "focuses" back in. 

All Might and Mirio were sad that Midoriya couldn’t say his final goodbye to sir Nighteye but Shouta said that he needed to worry about his own health for once. The kid wouldn’t know what would be happening in the first place or miss everything and think Nighteye needed saving or something like that with his luck. One can never be too careful with how the mind processes and having him out of it near a dying man was just asking for trouble. He is debating on telling the kid about what happened to Overhaul and losing his arms, he really didn’t want to tell him but with it being on the news then the kid will see it eventually. Shouta honestly hopes that the kid will be happy that the man won't be able to hurt anyone else anymore though he knows that he will be sad for the man anyways. Midoriya will probably feel guilt with Mirio losing his quirk, some heroes on the team felt guilt for it so a kid feeling that way makes most sense.

That was all Shouta could think was big enough news for him to keep track of for the kid. Nothing else should be able to affect him or well Shouta hopes. Besides keeping track of that he has also been keeping the kids calm and making sure they know that Midoriya will be back eventually, after he is healed enough. Some thought that Midoriya was gravely injured but he promised them he would be able to come back physically fine, others knew though. Asui, Uraraka and Kirishima saw how he was after the fight. They all kept asking him if he’s having a good day or has he eaten anything and if he’s getting enough sleep. Shouta does calm their minds though by telling them what he sees in the problem child and that he himself is making sure the kid keeps healthy while not all there. 

Besides making sure all of class 1A was okay and behaving, Todoroki and Bakugo were going to get their makeup license exam for the day. Shouta wasn’t going to be taking them there, that would be his loud blonde and an annoying loud blonde that needs to learn to take a fucking break and to keep on the school’s schedule. He was supposed to go too but he still needs to take it light for a little longer and he also has to obviously watch Midoriya. Currently that is what he is doing, letting his class be their normal chaos and him in his dorm apartment with Midoriya sitting on his couch looking at nothing in the distance. 

Shouta was making food and has been also increasingly making more every passing day at having Midoriya in his home. Zashi has also noticed this and started to give the kid snacks and he eats them, every single one of them. It’s weird but maybe it’s his body trying to bounce back after using so much of his quirk to regain the energy but it’s also concerning. Hizashi and him noticed some food going missing but not much after they started making bigger portions for the kid. They asked if he was actually that hungry or if his quirk slowly making him develop an eating disorder of types, as they still think the poor kid is stuck in the moment of using his quirk so his body is reacting in kind and trying to make him eat more. They really didn’t get an answer but after what seemed like ages the kid said his first out into the air and those where his only words through this whole ordeal at the time. “I-i’m jus-st real-lly hungry…..” This caused his husband and him to stop what they were doing to look at midoriya. “.... s-s-so hungry.” and that was the end of it. 

That was when they decided it would be best to give him bigger portions and Shouta swears he can see a healthier shine on the kid now unlike before where he slowly looked like he was withering away Today with the two trouble makers out of UA, was a normal day so far. The problem child staring off into space, him doing more grading and making food, the cats relaxing around the room but keeping away from Midoriya because they aren't used to the kid yet. It was quite besides the food bubbling, cats sometimes randomly making noise, an odd clicking sound, his pen scraping again- Wait. 

Click click cl-click click

What is that clicking sound? Shouta looked up from his paper and over to the stove but quickly noticed it wasn’t coming from there. Cli-click click clic-ck He looked at other appliances around the kitchen but soon realized that the sound was coming from the living room. The room with only one living being in it at the moment as the cats still refuse to get near the kid, even just to play or laze in the same room. Shouta looks over to the problem child but the kid isn’t moving. Click click click Yea, the sound was coming from the kid but the kid’s not moving so it’s not from the couch. He put his pen down and made sure to put a container on top of the paperwork so that no cat could swipe it onto the floor. 

Shouta then starts to walk over to the kid, clicking getting quieter the closer he gets. Weird, so the kid must be controlling it or making the sound? Does the kid have something in his hands to play with, that’s a good idea maybe he should give the kid something to fidget with? He turns and now about to see the face of the kid, with his mouth slightly hung open and quite clicking coming once or twice then stopping. Midoriya blinks slowly as Shouta comes closer but slowly, he doesn't want to startle the kid. Suddenly the kids eyes move and they move fast, looking at him for the first time after the Overhaul fight and he means actually look and acknowledge him. 

He freezes. Shouta didn’t know that the kid would suddenly snap back into reality like that and stare him in the eyes. “Hi…. kid you seeing me?” A few blinks and a couple deep breaths and Midoriya is calm while he still feels like he just got a real life jump scare. A handful of seconds later and he got a nob, Shouta’s heart stopped at the kid actually being better. Finally the kid could be better, could get more help. A scratchy voice that was so quiet and small entered his ears and it honestly almost made his heart stop again. 

“..zawwa…”

Shouta walked closer and got on his knees so he could be eye level with the kid. “Yea…. yea it’s zawa. You with me buddy.” The response was faster than it was the last time, still a nod but his eyes seemed more focused, more sharp than they were this morning. Shouta watched as a smile slowly stretched across the kid's face.

“.... I-i did i-it.”

He hopes that the smile Shouta returns in kind with the kid won't freak him out too much because. “Yes… yes problem child. You did do it.” He slowly brought his hand up to ruffle Midoriya’s hair, making sure all of his movements were readable for the kid. The younger of the two just leaned more into the touch while Shouta was just overjoyed for one of his kids finally, oh finally getting better. The beeping from the oven shocked him out of his joy a bit as he got up, a little too fast judging from the flinch it received. “The food is done kid… want to walk over by yourself?”

The response was faster again as Midoriya nodded, no words this time but still, this is millions times better. Shouta walked quickly to the stove and started to make a few plates of food, Hizashi should be home soon enough and he hopes the kid is still here for that. He wants the kid to be able to speak again and emote again instead of just being there in a husk of his former self still. After he’s done he goes to put the plates down and see Problem child is already sitting at the table, looking at him expectantly. “Oh, I thought you would have a little bit of trouble but that was faster than I thought.” 

Shouta didn’t hear him moving around either but that could because he was thinking too much while plating the food. He walked over to the table and placed a plate down in front of the kid and then went to his seat with his food. When he sat down a loud growl came from on the over side of the table. Looking up let him see the kid already eating his food, at a kinda fast pace too but some of the food is falling off the fork because Midoriya’s grip doesn't seem to be working with him right now. That was okay, Shouta went back to his own food and couldn’t wait for Zashi to come back. He’ll be so happy to see the kid moving around on his "own" again and looking at them again and nodding to them again and even those small words that he spoke was so much for him. It made his cold heart swell with pride at the fact one of his kids were able to survive that when even Shouta himself thinks he wouldn’t be able to. Some clinking from the fork and the plate are heard from the other side of the table but it seems calm and not too rushed, that’s good. He’s glad they have silverware for when they are just too tired to use normal chopsticks, sometimes it’s just not the day to use them and injuries can also mess with that to- “More please.”

Shouta looked up again and could see all of the food was gone, the plate was even licked cleaned. Midoriya did eat his other meals today so he can’t be that starved, that’s a lot of food but maybe…. He should just indulge it for now even if it seems unhealthy, it could be healthy for all he knows. He gets up from his seat and goes to grab the empty plate but it was a little difficult with how hard the kid was gripping it. Shouta let his gaze linger a little longer, after he pried it out of Midoriya’s hand, then he would have but it wasn’t long before he was filling the plate again. This time it was a normal meal amount and whatever the kid left over would be saved. While he plated more food the thought of the kid having food aggression came wandering into his mind. Shouta has never really seen problem child eat and when he does it’s clear that no one takes it from him but is that because his friends aren't like that or because they know not too? If Midoriya does that, that means that he might need help getting out of that habit or see if his home life was… complicated… 

Shouta shook his head as he walked back over to Midoriya to give him the food, the kid seemed to wait to eat until he himself sat back down. At least the kid had some type of manners, he went back to his food. He liked the quiet that was made while both his kid and him ate their food when did it become his kid?, not uncomfortable but Shouta could still feel the tension… that could just be him though. As they continued eating he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket, the same vibrate pattern that he uses for Hizashi. They must have finally gotten done with the make-up exams, the loud man that he loves dearly is probably giving him an up date with them and is most likely on his way home. 

“I’m done.” Shouta looked back up to once again, seeing Midoriya sitting there, plate cleaned off like it was never used to begin with. He stuttered for a second in his nod to the kid but quickly recovered. He lets his face rest in a more soft look. “That’s good kid, do you want to take a nap now or do you want to do something else?” Worry weighed Shouta down as the problem child just looked at him. Was that too much at once? The kid just talked a second ago, maybe he should have just suggested watching TV or som- “Can I…” He focused back on the person he should really be paying more attention too, when he talked again. A light clicking sound the kid made confused him but maybe it was a type of stim? Shouta has no say to what a stim should be so he wont judge the kid for it. “Can I… I have some notebooks?”

Shouta blinks and that for some reason fits Midoriya well, why didn’t he think to give the kid some paper and pen already. That could have helped him gather his mind better or worse, no way of finding that out now. He nodded his head as he walked into the living room, Midoriya slowly making moves to follow behind him. As he neared the couch he quickly picked up a thing of paper they usually keep out in their living room for taking notes on what they are doing. Hizashi didn’t like it at first, the ‘we shouldn’t take work home’ saying was thrown around a lot but with his husband having three jobs he honestly uses these papers more than Shouta himself uses them. Putting the paper down on the coffee table and then going off to find a pen or pencil, Midoriya stayed behind with the paper. He sat in front of it, starting at the blank white box with his hands twitching as if wanting to write something down. 

Shouta tried to be fast about finding a pen or pencil, it shouldn’t be hard right. Zashi and him are teachers. They grill students all the time on having something to write with on hand. They have to have something to write with….. Where the fuck are all of his pens?!?! Shouta felt like he was going to lose his hair, Hizashi always steals them because he loses so much of his own all the time . He must have moved all the ones in their home too, which isn’t helping him at the moment. It feels like he’s been looking for almost 10 minutes but it’s got to do with the fact he’s been slowly getting more upset over every pen spot that was empty in their house. He doesn't know when he spots a pen, FINALLY, but when his eyes land on it he hears the front door open. Fuck, Zash is home and he didn’t really get to tell Midoriya much about Hizashi coming home. 

Shouta swiftly plucked up the pens and then turned around to speed walk into the living room. Now when one walks into their living room, it lines up perfectly to the hallway so as soon as he enters the hallway and looks out to the living room he sees…. Hizashi… Just standing there looking at Midoriya, like fully just staring him down but Zashi has his sunglasses on still so Shouta can’t see his eyes from here. One thing that Shouta can see though is body language. Zashi is stiff and looks ready to move, the kid also looks a little tense but not much. He zooms his way into the living room and right up to his handsome blond man, the kids eyes following him all the way.

It seemed that Shouta quickly advancing toward him finally got Hizashi to break out of what little staring contest he was doing with the kid. “Oh Sho! There you are, I wondered why the little listener was sitting here alone.” He could see the bright smile that Zashi sported but with the sunglasses it would be hard for anyone to really see what his emotions really were. Shouta was close enough to see that Hizashi’s smile didn’t quite reach his eyes, what got him so off? Did Problem child do something weird before he got out here? “Yea, I had to get him something to write with.” Shouta gave him a pointed look as he turned back to the kid, finally having a clear look at his face. It seemed a little more clear then it was when they were eating so that’s good. Maybe Hizashi was just shocked that the kid was finally getting out of his funk.

“Shhhhoooooo~ how could you betray me like this!” Out of the corner of his eyes, he could see Zashi gripping his heart and flung an arm over his eyes. The dramatic ass that he is honest to god has a tear going down his cheek, no one likes to point out how Hizashi Yamada can fake cry like an actor. Shouta focuses back on the kid and gives him a soft expression, no smiles but Shouta knows how to make his face look comforting….. If he tries hard enough. “Here you go kid, just remember if you need help with anything or want anything at all just call for me and Hizas- Yamada, okay.” He got a nod back after a beat and then was promptly ignored when the problem child picked up one of the pens. The one he had was covered in neko’s and bright neon colors, it was obviously the only good pen in the little pile.

Shouta turned over to look back at his sunshine who seemed to finally take off his Mic jacket. “Come on, I can make sure the food is all heated up and still okay to eat. Don’t want you eating cold food.”

“Aaawww sho you ca-”  “Your quirked whining is always worse than your normal version.” He ignored the loud call of his name as he walked further into the kitchen. He’s so glad that Nedzu made their apartment bigger than the normal ones, two people in one place takes up more room then one would suspect. As he looked over the food, he noticed that he never really turned off, warming, so all the food stayed decently warm and fresh. That’s good, Hizashi hates heating food up in the microwave. The feeling of someone wrapping their arms around his waist and a chin on his shoulder while he got the plate of food ready made Shouta’s heart light a flame.  

“Heya shosho, I got home and you cooked this awesome food. My savior and you even made sure it stayed warm so no microwave for me, My literal god in this scruffy human form. Oh I don’t know how to ever repay you.” Shouta felt Hizashi nuzzled into his neck as the plate of food was almost done being made. If he let him move around more the plate would already be done but it’s hard to move like this. He slightly shoved him off as he turned around to give him the plate of food. A quick peck on his cheek is what he got before Hizashi went to the table. “Thank you loovvvee~”

He rolled his eyes as he went to the living room again, Midoriya does need to be watched more than ever right now. They don’t want him accidentally doing something that will hurt him while still being kinda out of it. As Shouta is getting closer to the problem child he’s noticing the words on his page or all over the place. Some of the words being written are overlapping or what seem to even be in a completely different language.

—-------------------------------- end of sample but is more like the words are layered on top on each other not over each other—--------------

Shouta looks at all that’s written on the paper, he can see how Midoriya is kinda obsessing over food. Many times he can see the kid saying he’s hungry and very warm or hot, that might be his quirk acting up and burning too many calories like they thought might happen. He thinks he sees something about a Tomu and them being happy, besides that Shouta also thinks that he sees ‘Glad eri is safe.’ So the kid was slowly but surely going through his emotions about what happened at the raid, that’s good and Shouta hopes it keeps progressing well. He makes his footsteps louder as he nears the kid. Midoriya looks up at him, eyes seeming to be a little unfocused but very tired and sleepy. “Hey kid, you think it’s time to sleep yet?”

Midoriya stares at him for a little longer, mumbling words not being loud enough for Shouta to personally hear but the problem child might just be debating on going to sleep now or not. After what seemed like ages of the kid not blinking at all, eyes finally closed and his head nodded up and down slowly. “T-tired…. Nn-need to re-est.” He lets his face soften as he helps the kid to stand back up, making sure Midoriya does not topple over by the misplaced focus on only one part of his body. Shouta can feel Hizashi looking at them, he must be worried about the kid just as much as Shouta himself is. Suddenly becoming a main caretaker is hard but its made easier by RG's notes and pointers when ever he asks her a question. 

After finally being able to get Midoriya to calm down and rest in the guest room, almost 30 or so minutes have passed. It took a long time and Zashi seemed to still be in the living room, out of his Mic uniform at least. Comfortable clothes always helped Shouta relax better and he didn’t want Hizashi to be all wound up in a ball of knots when they needed to go to sleep. When he gets closer he can see the blond is holding the paper that Midoriya was writing on. His face was scrunched up while trying to read the mixed up words that are layered on top of each other. 

His blond husband didn’t hear him come up to him and jumped when he felt Shouta standing beside him. He looked at his sunshine and felt worried at the scared look he could see deep in those lime green eyes. “Zash… Zashi what’s wrong?” Shouta pulls Hizashi's face closer to his own to get a better look at his eyes. “Why are you so…. So scared?” An audible gulp was taken by Hizashi as he looked down at the floor, avoiding the black haired man's gaze. 

“I-i just…. I think we should talk about the little listener.” A little bit of determination welled in his eyes but the fear of something was still there. Shouta nodded and waited for the other to start but was soon dragged behind the blond, heading toward their sound proof room. “We need to talk about this somewhere else.” Shouta was getting more and more nervous, did Hizashi get told about something while he was out and needed to tell him too. It had something to do with one of his kids so that means it’s going to be bad doesn't it. Once in their room Hizashi made sure the door would still be able to open, for the kid just in case, before turning around to look Shouta in his eyes.

“Something is really wrong with Midoriya.”

Chapter Text

Hizashi didn’t know how else to say it, that was just it. “Something… is wrong with Midoriya?” He looked at Sho as he nodded his head up and down quickly. Something was wrong, off, incorrect, whatever happened at the raid messed the kid up and it wasn’t that quirk everyone thinks it is. Hizashi can just tell. Shouta only looked at him for a bit before sighing. “Zash, the kid is gonna be messed up after what he went through.” He was about to say something against that because that wasn’t it, something else happened at the raid they didn’t know about. “To be honest I’m shocked the rest of the kids are dealing with it that well. Some visits to hound dog and boom, they go back to how they were before.”

He didn’t know how to word it, something is wrong with Midoriya. “N-no sho that’s not what I mean! Something happened, something or someone got to him before that fight he had with Overhaul!” Hizashi looked over his husband's face and saw the split second of thought, of something fitting into place. “See, even you agree with me. You saw him before that fight right?” Shouta shook his head and looked away from him, that is weird. 

“I noticed he seemed…. Off but it could have just been a fight with different people that made him tired or just being away from the group for so long.” Why was his husband acting so weird…. Why is he so emotional about this? Yes he’s emotional, not like most, but usually he uses his logic to tell people when something happened before which could affect the outcome of a problem. “Sho… kitten you saw something, right?” Shouta didn’t look into his eyes, why ?

“Kitten please, you know what I’m talking about.”

“His hero uniform.” It was a quiet whisper into the air, hard to hear even in this suffocating quiet. Hizashi looked into Sho’s eyes even if he won't look back at him. “It…. It was weird..” He cupped Shouta’s cheek trying to get him to look in his eyes. Doubt burns deeply in those onyx eyes as Shouta tries to collect his thoughts. “There…. Was something off about it….” He felt the pit in his stomach grow deeper as his husband continued. “I still think that maybe I thought wrong or saw wrong or maybe he just got into a wild fight with some weird villain.” He nodded his head, rubbing his thumb on Shouta’s cheeks. “The uniform…. It was kinda… half on… Like someone took it off but…” 

Shouta took a breath and then continued on. “They took it off but didn’t know how to put it on right again.” Hizashi was suddenly met with those black eyes, tears welling up in them but refusing to fall. “I-i… I don’t…” He quickly wrapped his arms around his love as his shoulders shook from his silent cries. “It.. i-it looked like….” Hizashi shushes him as he runs his hand through his hair, he didn’t mean to get Sho so upset but the way he’s saying it seems like something different happened. He personally thought that the kid was hit with some weird quirk but maybe. No, there was no sign to that and also the doctors said he was completely fi- After that rewind quirk was used on him…

“Sho, we need to think of the rewind quirk being a part of it but also what if it was just a quirk that messed him up.” He looked down to a little bit of a calmed down Sho, eyes red and irritated but honestly he still looks pretty. He always thought Shouta was a pretty crier, even though he never does it much but even now he looks like one of those pretty cries from movies, hehe. “I didn’t get to tell you why I thought of this.” Shouta froze in his arms as he looked back up at him. That was Hizashi’s que to keep talking, the intensity from Sho’s eyes are crazy though. “So… w-when… God how do I say this?”

He looked up at the ceiling trying to gather his thoughts. Shouta was rubbing circles in his chest to help try and calm himself and him down. “Okay… he had… Midoriya had red eyes.” Shouta didn’t talk but his eyes had all the questions that he needed to keep going. “That’s why I was staring… When I came in… His eyes.”

“They were red?”

Hizashi nodded his head. “Yea and he… god what was it? It looked like his cheeks had like… these slits in them…” He looked up at the ceiling again as he tried to think of what he saw. How to describe what he says in front of him. “Kinda like… his cheeks could fold apart? Like there was something folded onto his face and that was why there were slits in his cheeks?”

Shouta looked at him, confused but thinking. “H-he acted a little weird with me… and was faster than I thought he would be?” Hizashi shook his head as he chuckled a bit.

“Look at THE Eraserhead trying to help my illogical thought process here.” Shouta gave him that deadpanned look as he huffed out some air.

“Well I’m sorry I believed my husband saw something because I know you wouldn’t have brought it up unless you thought it was really really important.” Hizashi hummed to that as he started to walk backwards a bit. Sho stumbled a little but that was because he was still holding onto him. After they finally made it to bed, Hizashi plopped down on it and quickly got the wind slightly knocked out of him because of how his love fell on him. 

After laughing together a bit he brought the topic back on track. “Well, it seems really illogical and well you saw him earlier and he was fine right.” 

“Well, I did say he was acting weird but the most damning evidence is the fact he was whispering to himself and started…. Clicking?”

Hizashi was thinking about it and whispering/mumbling is normal. That was something the kid did all the time but the clicking was new….. To them at least. “Zashi, he never clicks. Never makes little sounds like that. It’s always whispering.” He thought for a little bit more and let out a little frustrated groan.

“The thing is that could be pushed off as the quirk effect and as soon as I blinked or when I looked away for like a second Midoriya was back to normal. No one would use that to say they need to do another check on him or to see if it’s even him.” He felt Shouta nod his head august his chest as they just lay there. They had no way to say that anything is truly wrong with the kid but both him and Sho feel like something isn’t right. “There is also the fact he’s always so fucking hungry.” A humm left Sho’s mouth as they just continued to lay there, waiting. “How much food did he eat before I got home?” Looking back down he could see Shouta think about his answer, probably trying his best to calculate it.

“Probably close to three servings.”

“Three servings?!”

“Three servings.”

“God that is so much.” Hizashi looked back up to the ceiling. He could never personally eat that much.

“It could also be explained away by his damn quirk that burns carbs and calories like a fucking forest fire.” He hummed and just thought about how much food that is. What is happening to the kid, that’s way too much. Even with the kids quirk that would be a lot, with what we had to eat tonight. 

“Look Zashi, we just have to keep a close eye on him and keep tabs on everything different.” He nodded his head as he rolled them both over. “It’s stressful and I’m going to the hospital tomorrow again because Eri might start to wake up.” He looked down at Sho as he went on. “She’s been in the quirk exhaustion coma for a long time but she’s showing signs of waking up soon so I have to be there more.” Shouta looked into his eyes while he said this next part. “You have to be more of my eyes and ears when I’m gone, okay. I refuse to let my student suffer just because I wasn’t fast enough.”

“Sho I have told you this before, you couldn’t do anything. What’s happened, happened and now we just have to make sure the pieces go back into place from where they fell down.” Shouta huffed in his face before getting more comfortable. Hizashi is tired, he wants to sleep. He’ll change later, or after he wakes up because he’s just too comfortable right now. 

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hizashi stands by the door while saying goodbye to his husband, going to the hospital for a little girl confused about all the white rooms around her. Poor Eri woke up sometime in the night and the best they could do until Sho got there was keeping out of her room. Besides that they also need help to calm her down so she won't reverse someone into oblivion. Midoriya also woke up in the middle of the night too, something about feeling like needing to do something but not knowing what it is. What ever the kid said in the jumbled whispers that was thrown his way.

Right now though the kid was sitting at the coffee table, writing again but it’s still all jumbled up. The good thing is that it seemed like the kid seemed to be a lot more in focus then he was yesterday. “Yamada?” A clear voice calls for him as he closes the door, locking it behind his love.

“Yes little listener?”

“I’m….” Hizashi waited for a bit, it didn’t take long and felt more like Midoriya was deciding something or thinking about what he wanted to say. “I’m hungry… again.” He walked into the living room, nodding his head as he entered. Looking over at Midoriya, shows him the picture of a little kid practicing writing for the first time. The cuteness makes his heart clench a bit.

“Yea, of course little dude.” Hizashi throws on a bright smile, the sound of a light hiss in the air goes ignored. how was the kid making that sound, it didn't look like he was making it but the noise was coming from him. “What do you feel like having on this fine…. 4 am morning?” He looks as the kid thinks about it but that was shorter than when he said he was hungry. 

“Meat.”

Hizashi lifted one brow as he walked further into the living room. “Meat? Nothing else for use today?” He sits down in a chair that was close by but not close to Midoriya, he didn’t want to make him uncomfortable or not safe. Midoriya nodded his head, so nothing else but… meat… okay a little weird but he can work with this. “Any… certain types?” 

Midoriya seemed to almost answer automatically, he thinks he hears some type of word about to be spoken but his jaws suddenly slam shut. He looks at the kid, some type of fear in his eyes before they dart to the ground. “Hey hey hey… it’s okay…” He wants to comfort the little listener but doesn't really know what started this reaction. “You can ask for anything, kay…. I won't judge you for anything you ask for, okay?” That reminded him of abuse responses but that couldn't be it, he's just trying to find anything wrong now. Hizashi’s hands hang in the air as he wants to just hug the little bud who seems scared just to ask for something specific to eat. 

Midoriya wrung his hands together as he looked to the ground, his fringe hiding his face from Hizashi’s view. The clicking that Shouta mentioned yesterday quickly started but soon stopped. “Can… C-can I have… st-steak?” Hizashi blinked a few times before smiling, they do have that on hand so yes! “Yea lil listener, no problem!” He slowly and carefully got up, telegraphing his movement for the little one so he won't startle them, this just reminds him of abuse cases. He starts to walk to the kitchen, keeping an ear out for Midoriya as he asks his questions.

“How much would ya want?

“.... can… can I have something close to… t-to a Porterhouse amount.” He can hear how embarrassed Midoriya sounds as he answers. Hizashi honestly doesn't know that type of cut.

“Well, how much is a Porterhouse cut?”

He starts to get everything ready for the steak as he walks around the kitchen. The quiet voice of the kid can be heard from the living room. “It’s about 32 ounces.”

He stops for a second but collects himself as he looks to see how much they have…. Oh he is so lucky that they just went shopping not long ago because the habit of stocking up on stuff made them buy so much. Hizashi will have to have something else for breakfast but honestly he doesn't really want this type of thing this early in the morning. “Yea, I got just enough for ya kiddo! Don’t gotta worry bout a thing, okay.”

Grabbing out the meat and starting to make some type of seasoning for it as he waits for it to unthaw a bit more. “How raw do ya want it then little dude.” He continues his work as he waits for an answer, clicking and silent hissing here and there being heard. Hizashi doesn't get why Midoriya started to make these sounds but maybe he just only ever made them in private. The thought of the kid with his hero uniform half hanging onto his body because someone tried to do… that flung across his mind but he snuffed out the thought before he worried himself over something that could be completely nothing. The kid would have said something, done something, told someone. Hizashi believes and trusts all the kids to tell them if something like that happens because they are the adults, heroes and teachers that are here to help and keep these kids safe. Besides Midoriya showed more signs of someone using a weird quirk on him or even this being someone else entirely then that being the outcome.

“B-bleeding?”

Hizashi had a hiccup in his movements but kept going. Midoriya has never really eaten much meat at school, well he has eaten the stuff but not this much and he always seemed to hate when his meats bleed, to his knowledge. He even remembers Shouta telling him the day Midoriya looked sick because his food bled on that day, stating it scared -must have brought back bad memories- him and it made him not want to eat it. “.... Are you sure you want it bleeding? I’ll make it for you but I just want to make sure.”

It takes a little bit and maybe that’s because the kid was nodding his head or thinking more, who knows, Hizashi can’t exactly see him clearly from where he’s standing at the moment. “Y-yes please.” Light clicking and hissing heard as he speaks, kinda like it’s overlapping with his own words. Hizashi ignores it the best he can as he slots the information of it away. “Then it’s gonna be coming right up!” It’s weird and out of character but maybe it’s because he had a change in taste, who really knows. 

—---------------------------------------

He was in the middle of making lunch, nothing much had really happened yesterday besides Midoriya asking where Shouta was a bunch. He didn’t come home last night because of Eri finally waking up, I told him as such and it seemed to make him happy. The little smile that spread across Midoriya's face warmed his heart as he let the kid go back to writing on the paper they had been giving him. The food he was making today was once again….. Meat oriented because he learned last night that the little listener won't eat as much if it has mostly vegetables or a lot of vegetables in general.

To be honest Hizashi thought it was the kids' appetite finally going down but no. He woke up today to more meat missing, so the kid must have made more food last night while he slept. He noticed some mess on the counter and cleaned it up. That was when he decided to make sure there was enough meat in the dishes he was making so Midoriya didn’t try to starve himself or eat later on. A tap on Hizashi's arm shocked him out of his cooking to whip around. 

Midoriya was standing there, with a small smile on his face. “Oh… oh Lil listener you need to make more noise so I can hear you better, please.” How was the kid able to sneak up on him, he can keep track of Sho easily after all these years, when he has his hearing aids in. “Do ya need something, maybe a snack before I’m done with lunch?” Hizashi put a bright smile on his face as he waited for an answer, lil kid was fidgeting with his fingers as he looked down at the floor. Shuffling from foot to foot and eyes darting from here to there, it was a little nerve wracking but Midoriya was always an anxious kid. Lil dude then looked up at him, or around him as his eyes seemed a little unfocused like before, and grabbed his sleeve as he started to pull him away from the oven. “Oh do you need me to follow?” Hizashi chirped out as he allowed himself to be pulled out of the kitchen or well to the entrance of it.

Midoriya then let go of him as he walked back into the kitchen and looked up to the ceiling. He watched for a second before looking up toooo-..... oh ….my… “SPIDER!!!!” Hizashi ran into the living room, taking shelter behind a couch as the little listener just continued to look at the giant spider on the ceiling above the oven. AND IT WAS BIG, LIKE THE SIZE OF PART OF HIS HAND HE DOESN'T KNOW WHICH PART BUT THERE IT IS A PART OF THE HAND SIZE!!! Hizashi cowered behind the couch, trying to get Midoriya to come back into the living room. “Nem will be here quick kid, come back over here where it’s saa aAAAAAAFFFF!!!”

Midoriya casually brought a hand up to try and reach for the spider, clicking and hissing sounds coming from the kid as his sole focus seemed to be on the spider above him. “I-i-i-i-izuku pleeeeease get away from that thi-ing.” Hizashi accidentally used his first name but it didn’t seem to faze the kid as he continued to reach for the spider. Oh god he just wanted to run away but Nem will be here soon, oh god she needs to be faster. The clicking and hissing the kid was doing never seemed to stop after he first started it. He didn’t really understand it but then he really didn’t care when he saw the spider start to go down to the kid. “Nnooooooooo” As the spider slowly lowered itself onto Midoriya’s offered hand the door finally opened. 

A rather loud click and hiss excited the kid's mouth as the spider took refuge in his hands. Midoriya cradled the spider close to his chest, slightly curling over it as he glared at the front door. “ZASHI I AM HERE!!!” Nemuri in all her glory stepped in, forgetting the kid that they were taking care of but she honestly was doing this so the kid wouldn’t go deaf because of his yelling. She was holding a fly sweater, bug spray and also had her sandals on so that she could use those if needed. “Neeemmmmmiiiiii~” Hizashi whined out as he quickly got behind her as he tried to hide from the spider that was in his current wards hands.

“It’s okay Zashi, I’ll take care of it. Just point to where the thing is.” He hesitantly pointed to Midoriya who was still holding onto the spider, glaring at Nemi like she just killed a kitten. Nemuri blinked a few times before walking closer to the kid. Hizashi whispered as she walked closer to Midoriya. “Nnneeemmm, he might get defensive or scared of you. He’s been doing okay but we have to keep him for a little bit longer just in case he regresses and needs to go back to the hospital to see if it was actually a different quirk at work.” Hizashi slightly followed behind her as she got closer but she put down the bug spray and fly swatter. 

“Hey kid…. Do you think I can take that spider from you?” Hizashi felt like his blood left his body when Midoriya didn’t answer her and just put the spider that was in his hand onto his shoulder. Moving in a way to make sure the spider was more out of view and hands up in a slight defensive position. Nemuri just stood there, kinda stunned and that was the same with him as they watched Midoriya hiss at them. “Ooookkkaayyy… I guess the kids going to keep the spider?” She backed up and Hizashi followed as he watched the spider crawl in the kids hair. Shivering at the phantom feeling of spindly limbs on his head.  “Just so you know, I’m pretty sure that’s a Clavata spider, ya know the uummm what's the name.”

The kid seemed to relax more as he stood more straight up, looking a lot more confident than before. “It’s the Trichonephila clavata spider. It has venom but it’s not poisonous to people sooo… I guess this is fine?” Nemuri picks up the things she put down not that long ago and starts to head for the doors. “I’m just gonna let you deal with it okay?”   “WHAT?!?”  “Look, just don’t get too close and I know you can deal with spiders better than normal bugs, you even say tiny ones are cute as long as they don’t climb you.”

Hizashi whined as he tried to get away from the very much not tiny spider, making it scary and not cute! “Nem, it’s big and not cute, making it worse okay! JUST…. Uuuggghhhhh Help meeeeee~” Nemuri put her hands up in defeat as she walked closer to the door. “Nope, that's your problem. I kill them because I hate keeping them indoors and can never catch them. Midoriya seems to have got it handled so as long as it doesn't crawl onto you then you’ll be fine. ᵖˡᵘˢ ᴵ ᵈᵒⁿ'ᵗ ʷᵃⁿᵗ ᵗᵒ ᵇᵉ ᵗʰᵉ ᵒⁿᵉ ᵗᵒ ˢᵉᵉ ᶦᶠ ʰᵉ'ˡˡ ᵘˢᵉ ʰᶦˢ ᵠᵘᶦʳᵏ ʷʰᵉⁿ 'ᵗʰʳᵉᵃᵗᵉⁿᵉᵈ'. ” She kept her hands up in defeat as she walked to the door. “Shouta will be home soon anyways and the kid has to fall asleep at one point.” Nemuri turned around and gave him a thumbs up and wink. “I know you can do this.” Out the door she went and it was closed behind her…. Leaving him here with Midoriya, the kid he has to take care of but the kid right now has a spider in. his. hair. 

Hizashi looked around because he noticed Midoriya wasn’t standing in front of him anymore. The kid went back to sitting at the coffee table, writing and clicking/hissing lightly all the while. He gulped as he saw the spider start making webs in the lil listeners' hair….. Just…. He’s just going back to making the food. Yea, making the food would be for the best. Don't think about if the lil listener is somehow talking to a spider, just ignore it.

—---------------------------------

“Sho… Sho the little listener was a spider whisperer!” Hizashi whispered shouted at his husband after finally getting back home. He seemed tired but that was normal for him, more tired than normal but that’s to be guessed after having to deal with all those medical professionals. “He looked this big spider in the face and just picked it up! And then put it on his shoulder!” He gripped onto Shouta’s shoulders as he slightly shook him back and forth, trying to be quiet as the kid slept in his temporary room. 

Sho for the most part just indulged him as he was yanked lightly back and forth, listening to all his worries and the fact that Midoriya took the spider into his room. Who the hell would calmly take a wild spider that got into their home, into their room and treat it like a pet. Hizashi couldn’t wrap his head around it, not in his insect afraid brain. “Okay, sunshine, okay. Are you better now?”

Hizashi took a couple deep breaths as he tried to calm himself down. The spider was in Midoriya's room, not near him and the kid looked to try his best to make sure it was as far away from him as possible. Little listener did an amazing job and looked to try and make both him and the spider happy, man was that spider clingy to the kid too. It was a little weird, aren’t spiders more…. Scared of people? “That’s good Hizashi, deep breaths, you're doing great.” Leaning his head on his husband's shoulder, it helped calm him down more with those gentle arms wrapped around him. 

“It's weird.” Hizashi melts into his love as the rumbling of his voice washes over him. “Eri had a lot of spiders around her room window.” Thought of spiders creeped him out but maybe the little girl liked them, he hoped they didn’t scare her. “She kept saying they were cute and every chance she got, she let them into her room.” Hizashi chuckled at the thought of other nurses and doctors being scared to go near her room. “She always seemed to be whispering to them and kept saying if they aren't allowed there then she isn’t allowed either.” Nuzzling his face deeper into the crook of Shouta’s neck, a calm washed over him. He ignored the feeling about how weird both kids liked spiders so much. 

He huffed out some air as black hair tickled his nose. “She’s a smart little cookie then.” Shouta hummed in response as he ran his fingers through his hair, it felt so nice. They stayed like that for a little bit. Just relaxing into each other's hold after spending two days away. “Zashi…. Don’t you think it’s weird that both of them love spiders and can just….. Somehow talk to them.” Hizashi tensed a little but quickly relaxed as Shouta continued to comb his finger through his hair. 

“Well….. Maybe it’s because of another quirk… It would make sense if both of them got affected by it or something along those lines.” He looked up into those void black eyes as the anxiety built up. “Right.” Shouta nodded his head as he pulled him back into a hug. It’s just a coincidence, that’s it, nothing more.  

—-------------

That was how the days went by, slow and methodical. Everyday Hizashi woke up and made sure that Midoriya woke up as well, seeing if he was out of it more or got a better grip throughout the day. The little listener slowly did get better too, more coherent and there, looking happier as the days went by, still having that spider be with him though…. Actually Hizashi has noticed a lot more webs around the apartment than before. The hissing and clicking didn’t seem to die down either, same with the food. Midoriya just ate that same amount of food the whole time, so much food and meat and Hizahsi had to go and buy meat twice after going through the meat in the communal fridge. 

Besides the… weird side effects that the kid seemed to still have or maybe these are normal ticks that he himself haven't seen because he’s not around the lil listener as much as his husband was. Shouta was still going to the hospital regularly and making sure Eri was okay all the while. He still tried to get home so that he could check in on Midoriya, the lil dude seemed to like it a bunch with what little time he spoke with Sho. It was cute to watch, kinda like a dad and son interaction and Shouta can ignore that fact. He honestly acts like that to everyone in his class this year too, it’s so cute to Hizashi…. It also makes him want to have a kid but MOVING ON!!!

Midoriya is all clear to go back to the dorms, all of his classmates have been warned that he might still be…. Out of it, to say but everything seems good and in order. Hizashi also personally warned them that it seemed like the green bean grew a bigger appetite after the quirk effect wore off, also the fact that he really liked meat now. The little listener was finally able to go back to his normal room and go out of UA if he wanted, to pay respects or to see Eri. Well, lil LIL listener still wasn’t allowed visitors yet but when she could Midoriya will probably be the first in line.

Sho and him were able to move the kid back to the dorms really easily too. Green dude was already packed up and excited to go back to his merch covered room, of a very certain blond variety. They got him all the way to his room with no one interrupting them, probably because of his moonlight’s death glares at all of them. Once they knew for a fact that Midoriya was okay to be alone in his room by himself, they left. Hizashi had to clean up his guest room after all, it was now vacant and last he knew….. Spiders… spiders just crowded Midoriya’s space all the time, big to small to tiny, all the time. Kid never seemed to mind but they left webs everywhere and they probably are still in that room so… Hizashi will be brave like he’s been this whole time and clear out the spiders because his love was taken care of Eri again today.

Webs everywhere but… there are no spiders to be seen…. Weird… again.

Hizashi was very glad for the fact that there were no spiders left in the room, maybe Midoriya took some pity on him and got rid of them for him. There were a ton of webs though, every crack had some type of marker that spiders were just…. Crawling all over the place. It did seem the kid was able to sleep in peace though because the webs steered clear of the bed area at least. He luckily doesn't need to clean the bed that much… he also doesn't want to move the bed to clean under it because the thought of all of the spiders hiding under there waiting for him, just thinking about it makes his skin crawl. 

After Hizashi was able to officially say the guest room was clean of spider webs, it was close to the time he would usually make supper, so he just got started on making it. After making items with nothing but mostly meat in it for so long it was nice to make a normal meal. He freted (the word fret/ to worry/ be anxious) around the kitchen and hoped that even if he knows his cooking isn’t the best Sho will still like it after a day of taking care of Eri. Once everything was ready Hizashi put it all in the oven and then it was just about waiting for it to all be done cooking. He sat down at the island with his cheek pushed against the cold top. It was nice to feel the chill after being that close to heat for so long. 

Hizashi pulled out his phone to pass the time a little more and noticed some messages he had. Some were from friends, some from Sho to tell him how it was going. He was still wondering if the spider thing was from a quirk or something else because how Eri just seemed to like spiders too much and how many spiders seem to have made home by or in her hospital room. Besides those texts, that make Hizashi think it was to be some kind of quirk effect, Hizashi also had a whole slew from class 1A themselves. He read some of them and sighed, they all wanted to know why Midoriya was shutting himself off today. They really need to know about personal space, all of them are just too extraverted and maybe a class on mental health and the like would help too. The kid has finally got back to his senses and most of them want to bombard him with questions and since Midoriya has actually locked everyone out of his room they are asking him instead. 

He opened up the main chat that was for class 1A and stated if Midoriya didn't want to talk about what happened to him or anyone else then everyone needed to respect that. The extroverts from the class seemed a little upset at that but all the introverts of the class, which weren't many, were happy a teacher finally put the others back in their place. Some of them stated that others took it too far and needed to be more nice about it, Bakugo Katsuki. Hizashi is guessing the kid screamed at Midoriya for answers or a fight would happen and with the kid being kinda still out of it at times but is fine enough, just wanted to have peace and quiet. Probably locked himself in his room after that and even if he did say he would answer a question or two, Hizashi can see him not doing it anymore if Bakugo started yelling. Even with his own open and happy personality, he wants to do nothing and be quiet sometimes.

The one text that caught his attention the most though was Aoyama's. He said how there seemed to be a lot of spider webs on the green beans balcony. The blond wasn't scared of spiders as long as they didn't touch him because he had seen Aoyama chilling while a spider was on a wall right next to him.... And also on him one rare time. Aoyama was more worried for Midoriya because he didn't know if he liked spiders or not, not to mention the hissing and clicking noises the kid heard from time to time. The walls in the dorms were thick and meant only to be heard through if one was screaming or well yelling or just talking loudly, in the kids one , so that they could hear when one would need help but again..... these are the kid's dorms and they are teenagers . They do some things in their rooms that need more privacy sometimes….. Well if Aoyama was able to hear a muffled click and hiss now and then, saying that it was weird hearing it from there, then the clicking and hissing either got worse or Midoriya just started it up. 

Hizashi just told him to be careful of the spiders, not knowing if one would be poisonous and maybe ask Koda what the spiders are saying if he's curious. Who knows what those spiders have seen? The knowledge of nature is one thing Koda has over his classmates and trying to get the boy out of his shell more, talk to bugs type animals more, could help him in the future and also get him some new friends. Hizashi also asked if he could maybe keep an eye and ear out of the greenet, since he couldn't do it as well anymore from all the way in the teachers dorms. A huff of air left his mouth as he started to look up a the ceiLLING “AAAAAAHHH” Hizashi swears he jumped 3 feet in the air at the feeling of hands quickly moving on his sides and then wrap around his waist. 

He heard Shouta chuckling in his ear as he squeezed him into a tighter hug. “I see that the food is almost done.” A chin rested on his shoulder as Hizahsi felt his love nuzzle into his neck, aawww little shit that Sho was knew how much this made his heart melt. “I’m really hungry, I refuse to eat hospital food.” The big baby groaned in his ear as he put all his weight on him. Hizashi buckled for a second because of the surprise of suddenly holding all of Shouta’s weight, asshole. “Eugh ok okay, get off and I’ll get your food.” 

Shouta just lays on him slightly while he makes the food, not too encumbered by the weight but it is annoying. Maybe Hizashi will show his findings today on the green bean. He could do a whole start to finish with him about all the things he kept track of while he was at work.

Chapter Text

Shouta sits there and just thinks about all the things Zashi told him about that he had observed over the time Midoriya was in their apartment. One of the big ones were the spiders that followed him around and the one that stayed in his hair 24-7. Besides that, everything else could be something Midoriya did in the comfort of his own home and was just too self conscious to act like that outside of comfort area’s. “You see what I’m getting at Sho?”

He nodded his head as he thought about how much a lot of those things matched what Eri did actually. The light clicking/hissing, spiders and leaning towards meat based meals. She didn’t eat nearly as much as the problem child but she did eat more than what everyone thought she would eat. Eri was slightly malnourished but ate like she wasn’t, it was weird but many believed it was due to Overhaul's quirk taking parts of her and then putting her back together. “What about Eri?” Shouta looked over to his husband as he got up and out of his seat. They’ll move this to the living room instead of the dining room table, it's not as fluffy. “You’ve said that Eri does some of the same things right."

“Yea I did. They act a lot similar but there are some differences. Kinda like Problem child got hit with a higher dose of whatever quirk or thing is affecting them.” Shouta said as they settled on the couch, Hizashi practically laid on top of him while they sat. “It’s weird but maybe it’s more about Eri almost getting done with whatever quirk effect this is and Midoriya just started it?” They both got more comfortable as they thought about it. In the long run nothing seems to be doing any damage to the kid and honestly it seems that it’s making him be a little more healthy in the food he eats. Shouta noticed before that Midoriya got really overly tired after exercises/hero training, kinda like he didn’t have the energy to do what he just did but pushed on through it and he also didn't seem to get enough sleep sometimes. 

“In the grand scheme of things, this thing has been helping the kid get more sleep and food into his system because his quirk takes so much, to much from him at times.” Shouta started to run his fingers through the golden blond hair that seemed to be longer than before. Hizashi should maybe get a haircut soon, long hair is fine but when it gets too long the blond has the habit of sitting on it, without fail every time. It’s funny to watch but it also gives his sunshine a headache. 

“Okay it helps but Sho, something is wrong and I feel like it’s worse then what we are seeing.” He continues to mess with the blonde hair as Zashi mumbles here and there. Shouta knows that what Zash said is true. In hero work usually, you will see things at a baseline but that doesn't explain even 12% of the story that was given to you. A lot of the time spotties (spot light) don’t go that deep into the stories of their ‘rescues’.... Unders do. They see the nitty gritty and that has taught Shouta and most of his friends to look deeper so they can actually help the people they are saving. Now you can’t save everyone or know everything, that’s a given but knowing something worse is happening is honestly like a gut feeling now than anything else and the kid….. The kid has the feeling around him in spades, just like Eri also does too. The thing with Eri though is that she is more explainable then Midoriya is. 

“He must need help Sho.” Zashi melts into the touch as Shouta just keeps playing with his hair, mind whirling with a thousand thoughts and theories but trying to push them aside. He can’t act on his feelings alone, Hizashi can’t act on his feelings alone, they need to have more concrete evidence of a reason besides ‘we think he’s eating too much and spiders like him so much.’ “ ‘e ne’ ‘elp  sho.” (He needs help sho) Shouta hummed as he continued to just mess with long golden hair, Hizashi slowly falling into a lazy nap. They need a break. His husband starts to get more comfortable in his lap as his eyes flutter closed. They both needed a break, needed something else to think of so they didn't over think to many things. 

Shouta huffed out some air as he reached for the remote, turning on the tv and putting it on low volume for background noise. It was oddly quiet whenever Zashi took a nap and he didn't like it. He starts getting more comfortable while Hizashi falls into a deeper sleep. Shouta might as well take a nap too, his phone was nearby and it has all the things needed on it to tell him if anything happens with anything he was personally involved in. Right now, sunshine and him need a well deserved nap. At least he didn’t have to worry about Midoriya looking at him while he slept. It's happened more times than not when he passed out on the couch these past few days.

—------------------------------- 

Fumikage was a dark person, he liked many dark things and honestly enjoyed the horrors in life and what it could offer. Those dark parts could only exist if there was light and the stronger the light the darker the shadow it will cast. That is true and has stayed true through his whole life but that doesn't mean he wanted people to get hurt. 

Fumikage wanted to help people with the shadows he learned to deal with, the shadows that were born in his bones and he learned how to work with to the best of his abilities. So….. when Midoriya came back he tried to help. Fumikage left him alone and urged others to give him more time to think, just because he’s back doesn't mean the shadows he faced didn’t stick to him like tar under his skin and in his hair. He tried to understand the limited time he had seen Midoriya before to see if there were any big changes. 

He wanted to help and he was going too. Fumikage took note of the dark eyebags and his overall body so he could understand how he was fairing. The slouch in Midoriya's shoulders like something was weighing him down and not like his usual curl into himself to hide and blend into the background habit but actually weighing him down type of slouch. Midoriya’s steps seemed more heavy footed than before and it looked like he was exhausting more energy just to do simple movements. Fumikage also noticed that the bright sun that once was, was now darkened over and seemed more….. Recluse than ever. 

Midoriya did say hi to his friends, he did spend time with them and acknowledge them but beyond that it looked as if he was actively trying to avoid them more than anyone else. Fumikage isn’t saying that the bright sun wasn’t hiding behind the clouds for all of them but it seemed to leave quicker than when it was someone that was outside the original ‘Deku squad'. It has only been a few days though since Midoriya has come back, maybe he's over this and should back off more. Fumi didn’t want to be mean and barge into something he didn’t understand or come close to understanding from what little the others gave them about the raid. 

None of them were near Midoriya when they were in the raid but they all gave accounts about how far he went. How much he hurt himself, again… and again… and again. Seeing from a distance his arms snapping into wrong shapes but the next moment being fine and able to punch again, and again……..

Besides that Fumikage has also noticed the increase of spiders…. In the dorm, on their floor room specifically, on midoriya, in the bathroom for some damned reason. They are now just…. Everywhere. Fumi has seen the spider that won't leave the sun's intense gaze, he has seen the spider hide as soon as more people enter the room. Fumikage has seen others not notice it but at least a few have seen it, a few have noticed and also seem to try to be helpful. That’s all Fumikage wants, he just wants to help those bathed in the light. It was honestly even weirder seeing one of the people that wanted to help Midoriya was Bakugo but no one else seemed to notice it…. For now. 

He’ll keep that to himself for the time being. Bakugo was trying to find out what’s wrong and even if he’s loud and pointing out everything different about Midoriya. Fumikage can tell he’s trying to engage how the sun will react, how differently it shines today from what Bakugo said now then from before. It’s different, clear as the dark night sky and Bakugo is helping with that, that’s all Fumikage could ask for.

—---------------------------------

Denki knew something was wrong but he really didn’t know how to personally address it. People would say he’s stupid for not going to a teacher or maybe even retarded, so what. Denki just didn’t know what to do. Sense Mido came back from the raid, he’s been wrong, that was the only way to put it. He’s been off and the millions of spiders where all the red flags waving high up in the air. It’s gotten to the point now that they have even started to make webs on his balcony too, since he lived right above Midoriya. 

He tried to ignore it, he didn’t personally know Midoriya besides being pleasant friends or acquaintances with him so he didn’t want to butt his head into it. Denki then noticed how much Mido started to avoid people, avoiding his closer friends than before. They all have expressed worry about it but they also know that time alone might be the only thing that could help him…. Denki doubted it. 

He thinks something is happening to Midoriya but again Denki didn’t know how to address it. He even took it up to ask Mineta about it because he lived right by the guy. “I don’t know man, it’s just been getting really creepy though.” He turned to look at the boy as they were planning to play games in his room today, not Mineta's. 

“Creepy how? It’s Midoriya man, ya know… sunshine dude that can get scared by his own shadow then deck you to next week.” He said while trying to find the two player game they wanted to play. He needed to reorganize again, maybe actually put in an organizing system.

“Okay okay, here me out.” Denki listened to what the little purple ball boy had to say, trying to find the game but also getting his eyes pulled over to the balcony. Spiders are slowly becoming more common but why did they always seem to be overly active, weren't they not supposed to move around that much. Moving from one side of the sliding glass door to the other, it made him feel like he was being watched by them and they were just getting a better angle. That’s not possible though because spiders actually don’t have that good of eyesight to see that far, not this far into his room but why. Why does it feel like they are following his movements. 

“Spiders, EVERYWHERE.” Denki zoned back into his kinda friend…. Pervert in arms? Talking about how Midoriya is getting more creepy. “Now now not so bad, we have Koda with his fuck ton of animal friends.” Some spiders move around when he stands up to look at the higher up shelves. “Why…. pray tell…. Do the fucking spiders follow you when moving around….. ˡᶦᵏᵉ ᵗʰᵉʸ'ʳᵉ ʷᵃᵗᶜʰᶦⁿᵍ ʸᵒᵘ!” Mineta says the last part quietly or well, more like a whisper shout. “Then you also have all the hissing and clicking and weird sounds that come from his room. I get making noises, who wouldn’t make noises but I just didn’t expect that type of noise. Ya know like something else not….. That.”

Denki rolled his eyes at the obvious innuendo made, finally finding the game while Mineta still seemed to be doing some bitching about dealing with a new creepy Midoriya. “Not to mention the weird movements like he’s become too jerky and his footsteps are heavier now so you can always tell where he is but not? He’s still able to sneak up on you without trouble.” Denki goes over to his console to put the game in, Mineta is still complaining all the while. “My balcony! It is covered in webs and spiders and I can’t tell if any of them are poisonous, I can’t use it anymore, at all. Not like I was trying to get some sun but still it’s the want to have the options ya know.”

He got the game up and running and shoved a controller into the smaller boy's hands. It shut him up finally as Denki didn’t need to know anymore information. He still didn’t know what to do about it, so he started up the game and playing with Mineta. He didn’t know what to do when Mineta left for the day to go back to his room. He didn’t know what to do when there seemed to be double the amount of spiders than before as the days went on. He didn’t know what to do when the noises started to travel through the thicker floor of his room and now he could also hear the muffled clicking and hissing sometimes. He didn’t know what to do when he thought Mido was gaining more weight, at an unhealthy rate.

He didn’t know what to do when he went down to the common area at night to see Midoriya and someone else hanging out in the living room area.

He didn’t know if it was someone from his class, it didn’t look like it, it couldn’t be someone from their class because of how tall they were and by their voice. 

He didn’t know how they got in here, passed the walls, the security, the teachers, the pro heroes and Nedzu’s codes.

He didn’t know the relationship they had with Midoriya but they seemed to love cuddling the smaller green-haired boy. 

Denki didn’t know what to do but he’s going to be forced to tell someone about it very soon, whether he wants to or not.

—----------------------------------------

She’s been listening to her music a lot more lately, her room was a lot more soundproof than the others but not by much. It was to help her not hear through the walls so well but when someone was being so loud that even the normal hearing room mates of theirs are able to hear them…. Well Kyoka could clearly hear him then too. Shoji wasn’t able to hear anything, lucky because his room was farther away and also the fact he could turn down his hearing better than her. It was fine though, listening to music was cool and helped her keep focus on studying and other things then the chirping and clicking and hissing and light thuds and quiet voices and little questions.

She really did try to make sure she didn’t get into anyone's business but Kyoka didn’t know Midoriya had a partner. He didn’t show any signs of it but she understood if he just wanted to keep it a secret. Whoever his partner is, they are really nice by trying to keep him calm and the little ‘I love yous' and the cute nickname ‘my light’. Kyoka has heard Midoriya spiral, wanting to leave the building, wanting to eat something different but not wanting to get it, wanting to fight but then being reminded that he didn’t need to fight anymore, wanting to go see if Eri was okay. She heard from Kirishima that that was the little girl from the raid they saved and that Midoriya was the one that saved her. 

It makes sense he wants to check on her or that he wakes up with the want to fight again, it was probably to try and protect that little girl again. They were all told that Mido would maybe get flung back into the flight or fight mindset because of what he went through and a quirk, it was a side effect, that was used on him. Now again she really didn’t try to pry into other peoples business but when you could almost clearly hear a one sided conversation in the dead of night….. It was hard to ignore. 

He must be on a call with his partner or something because that would probably be the only way for her not to hear them that well. She turned the page in her book as bits of the conversation floated by her focus.

____

“I -ow you love m-”

“-ov too.”

There they go again, being sickeningly cute with the 'love yous'. Gods, you’d think that they would be more obvious that they were together or something before this. Well….. With what happened with Midoriya, Kyoka could see them just forgoing rules to make sure he was okay and know he’s loved.

“Er-.... want keep M-  -fe”

They gotta be talking about Eri again, she flipped the page while trying to focus on reading…  not on spying on her roommates that 100% need their own space without her secretly listening in. Kyoka is really trying to ignore any voices she hears but she is just really curious about it. That makes it even harder to ignore.

“ -now but I ca- . Aizawa sens- -are of her -e’ll tell me if som- -rong with.”

He’s worrying about Eri again, not just talking about her, Kyoka has noticed that he worries about her a lot. No one told them what she went through but with how protective Midoriya is being with her, it must have been really bad. Another thought for herself is why was it so hard to ignore Midoriya talking then anyone else. She could hear everyone on her floor pretty clearly and it would be easier to listen in on those conversations then Mido’s. It has to be the fact that she’s just way too nosy about Midoriya for her own good. Kyoka also wants to make sure he’s okay too, making sure he doesn't hurt himself or something but that’s just an excuse to listen in and she knows it. 

She zones out of whatever conversation they are having for a little bit until she hears something that makes her worry a little.

“I need to eat mo- I refuse to ea-. - my friends an-.”

What? Kyoka stopped her reading and focused on the words that she slightly heard. Midoriya needed to eat more but reused too? Why? Why was he refusing to eat? Kyoka knows that he has to eat more than other people in class because he needs to keep up his muscle and also still have the energy he needs after each use of that monster of a quirk.

“Yes I would ea-.” 

Kyoka zoned back out as she thought about what he said. Midoriya brought up his friends, does he feel self conscious about eating too much? Is that why he’s been backing off more recently. She focused back in after trying to think about what she’s hearing.

“ -r them or others, I’m more oka- - then the other.”

She swears if he was trying to calm down his partner about not eating enough and saying that he’s okay with it. Kyoka will slap the shit out of him. She huffed a little, slamming her book close to think about how the hell she was going to help without making Midoriya know she had unfortunately heard the conversation he was having with his partner. So, he needed to eat more but didn’t want too, probably in front of everyone else.

What has he been eating more of recently, someone commented on it before…. Kyoka wracked her brain for a bit until she finally got it. Meat. Midoriya was eating a lot more meat recently, he was probably trying to get more comfortable. He must be trying to make this place feel more like home and what better way to do it then eat what he normally does. Since no one in the dorms really eats a lot of meat he must have felt like the odd one out. There is also the fact that she has noticed that meat has been going missing more now too.

He must be eating more when everyone is asleep or no one is in the common room. Kyoka can help with that. She could get more meat on the up and coming grocery run. Making sure they have a lot more meat may let Midoriya know that they were silently okay with the food that he eats. She goes over to her desk to see the price of the last grocery run. Kyoka needed to calculate what more they would need to bring or ask for, her teachers must have noticed what he likes to eat too. That means they would understand or even expect them to ask for more money for the food run. She starts to think of all that Midoriya has eaten and tries her best to get a close price range.

Kyoka was so busy that she didn’t notice the sound of someone quietly opening their balcony so late into the night. She didn’t get to hear more of the conversation or the full conversation in general. No light thump from outside wasn't noticed as she continued with her little calculations and she definitely didn’t notice the well concealed running footsteps fading into the direction of the woods. Kyoka wanted to help her friend and usually that means she’s going to ignore a lot of noise that's happening around her.

—-----------------------------

He was scared out of his mind. He didn’t know what to do or if this was like some type of warning from that monster to him. Yuga just wanted his neighbor back and not this imposter because that can’t be Midoriya. All for One must have done something because Sazanka’s men were at that place and Midoriya was the only one that was separated from everyone for a long period of time. That monster of a man was very interested in him for some reason, the only reason that he was given was Midoriya took something from All for One. He was in jail but Yuga knew better than to think that was it, he wouldn’t be still getting orders from All for One if that was all.

Then he came back from that damned raid and was changed, dazed and something was with him . No one noticed but maybe some of the pro’s did, their Sensei and it seems like Mic Sensei kept checking in with them more. He has seen them hanging around more, hidden most of the time but they have been here more often. Everyone says it’s to make sure they are in line and not treating Midoriya differently or trying to get answers out of him. That’s not true. Yuga knows that’s not true. Aizawa and Yamada act like that isn’t the true answer, he can read everyone besides that rat. He can see it clear as the day when he looked at Midoriya, he can see it in their eyes but they are very good at hiding it. No one else can see….. Maybe the imposter himself can see it but with such a big change in character he can’t read Midoriya that well anymore. He needs to build a new profile on the greenet now.

Besides that, ‘Midoriya’ isn’t right. He’s been keeping an eye on them whenever they’re in the open, especially by themself. They are almost never out by themselves, when they are it’s when everyone is asleep. He’s been able to see them exit Midoriya’s room at night but it’s hard to stay out of the spider's view. Yuga has seen those spiders watching people, yes it sounds paranoid but if he wasn’t paranoid then he wouldn’t have lived this long. Looking over his paranoia, the spiders are watching people. 

It started with him and Mineta because they live right besides that fake. Then they slowly started to spread, in the living room, the kitchen, bathrooms, closets, outfront by the doors, it also started to spread to other balconies as well. The spiders look to be staying clear of Koda though, maybe it’s because he can understand what they are saying. Yuga has noticed that the rock headed boy has also looked at the spiders weirdly sometimes. A little in fear and then some confusion, besides that he stayed away from them. He didn’t understand why but after Koda was with the spiders for a little he also seemed to steer clear of the Midoriya imposter. 

Yuga needs to stay on track with his thoughts, he’s just so…. So stressed and scared…. He’s nervous if this is like a way to replace him because Midoriya was close to All Might. If they have a spy close to All Might what would be the point of him. They could use him as bait or like a back up spy but if they could get info from the top, he would be pointless at one point. He’s still panicking a little. 

Yuga leaned against the wall that was right by his sliding glass door. The curtains were drawn and even besides that he has the glass door covered with papers. The papers had designs on them, making nice images that could be used as an excuse if someone asked about them. They were nice but it was also nice to make sure no spiders could see into his room. Every spider that came into his room was at first nicely escorted out but now he squishes them without mercy. He’s been finding them in more and more places that he wouldn’t think to check, harder to find but less in numbers. Again, paranoia really runs deep in him.

The sound of a sliding door opening brought him back to what he was trying to focus on. No talking this time, or mumbling. At least some people have noticed that ‘Midoriya’ is talking to someone else recently but they just think it's a love interest or something. Yuga guesses it’s better for them to be ignorant to it all instead of trying to see the new thing attached to their ‘classmate’ . Some weird noises are being made again outside, is he not going to go into the woods this time? It honestly kinda sounds like they were slightly choking. After a little bit of the weird noises that the imposter was making, he finally heard more movement actually happening. Important sounds, like someone climbing over the railing.

Yuga focused on the conversation that was being made but it was just one sided for him, some of it talking about needing to get food. That has been talked about a lot these past days, it's been about a week now hasn’t it. Then about needing to eat more, needing to protect his ‘child’, needing to get to his ‘child’, needing to find a way to go to the hospital to see Eri. That was another thing that kept getting repeated too. Eri was apparently his ‘child’ or his ‘kid’ or his ‘baby’. No one on our floor had even brought it up even though it was able to be heard sometimes really clearly through the walls. Sometimes it was like he was yelling out a conversation but no one was responding to him, all of it was still muffled but it was louder then the normal muffled conversations.

No one is talking about a lot that they are hearing or seeing. Yuga doesn't think that they know how to handle it or how to exactly bring it up to their teachers. There is also a fact that they were all told to give Midoriya more time to come back to normal. Everyone might be thinking that they need to wait for this 'Midoriya' to get back to normal, the teachers said so, they were told by the doctors to give it time, no one truly knows what’s going on with this Midoriya. They just went with the most logical explanation.

After the sound of a one-sided conversation got further away, Yuga got ready to go to sleep. There was no point in staying up to hear when whoever that is, to come back just to hear the same conversations over and over again. Getting into bed a thought came to his mind about the things that they repeat too much. They keep saying they need to eat more but it seems like they are gaining weight. Not much but it looks like their stomach has gotten bigger because of the shirts they wear. Midoriya didn’t wear form fitting shirts but they weren't exactly baggy. Maybe Yuga needed to intervene about how much they ate. If no one else was gonna at least help about them eating themselves to death then maybe he should?

He shook his head as he laid down completely. It wasn’t important to help the fake, he needed to make this new personality check over with this new Midoriya. Then he also needed to keep track of so many other things, he had no time to help the fake. One of the true heroes that actually are here should help. He’s just a fucking spy trying to stay alive and keep his parents safe. He might even be able to keep some of the friends he has made safe…. Well……

One of them was already gone but maybe he could save the rest.

—------------------------------------------

Aizawa glared at his boss as he waved them off. He knows something is wrong with his student. Hizashi held onto him as they walked back to their apartment on campus. He can’t be entirely mad at the rat though. Nedzu didn’t find any activity from the class 1A dorms, it has only been three days. All he told them was that yes, more spiders are around, yes Midoriya has been avoiding people but they thought this would happen, yes Midoriya is acting weird/different but again they expected him to still be acting that way. Midoriya has kept to his room mostly but has gone out at night sometimes, walking around the common room, eating meats and such when he most likely cut back on eating so much around his friends.

Everything is in line with what they thought would be happening for the side effects that are still wearing off but it still doesn't feel right, something is wrong. Nedzu doesn't underestimate his staff though and puts a closer watch on Class 1A’s dorms, making sure they know when someone opens doors, any door. Their personal doors, sliding doors and all other ones but just because they open it doesn't mean that he’ll look at the cameras. It will be documented though with the date and time so that they could check the cameras to see if something happened if they needed to look at them. He did also want to put more security around the 1A dorms to begin with because of how many villain attacks they have been in so that was also going to be done but nothing else. 

Aizawa feels like they should do more but what is Nedzu supposed to do? Everything shows that the kid is slowly getting better, even gaining a healthy amount of weight unlike before. Before he always seemed just a little too small, ate a little less than what he needed and with his quirk that really affected him but it wasn’t bad enough for anyone to step in. If it got worse then yes someone would but it seemed this quirk effect allowed him to at least eat all he needed. Class A1 will start back up soon with the remedial classes finally being over, they can start working on their ultimate moves. Aizawa feels like he’s rushing his class but now if they get into another villain fight, no one will say they used their quirks illegally. 

Class 1B are slowly also being pushed to get better, having training sessions with higher classes so that the upper classes understand when to hold back and 1B can feel how fighting someone stronger than them feels like. Vlad wants them to be ready and able to defend themselves when the LOV decides not just to include 1A in all their fights. They finally made it to their home, the walk completely quiet as they thought about all the outcomes of what could be happening. Once behind closed doors though it seemed Hizashi finally let out a ragged sigh. 

Aizawa just stood there not knowing how to react to everything, he’ll have to go soon anyways, to the hospital…. Back to Eri who is also showing the symptoms of the same quirk draw back. Is it just a quirk effect? When will it go away? They still haven't identified who was the one that used their quirk on them. Why did they use a quirk on them that gave such a specific effect and why haven’t they found someone with such unique effects? “Sho?” He glanced over to his husband who looked to have just ran his hands through his hair a million times over. He seems stressed and a little lost but again, he has to go back to the hospital to Eri soon.

“You keep an eye on Eri more and…. A-and I'll keep an eye on the dorms the best I can but classes are starting up for them soon and also the fact I need to focus on my class too.” That could work. Hizashi has been taking time off from work to make sure Midoriya is okay. Aizawa nodded his head as he still tried to think of how many things they are going to have to do to make sure Midoriya is okay. They couldn’t really ask everyone to watch 1A more than what they already are, they need to focus on their own classes and work. Besides them not having time to watch the class there is also the fact that they think the quirk will wear off soon. They haven't seen the weirdness that both the teachers have, Midoriya does seem really normal in public though. In private of his own room/their house he wasn’t normal and they both knew that.

“Sho, we can do this. Nedzu is keeping up more security but now it’s our time to make sure that the kid has someone watching him still.” Zashi cupped his cheeks and laid his forehead against his own. “We got this my moonlight. We can keep track of him.”

Chapter Text

Fumikage thinks he has had a normal morning so far. Dark was under control and happy after finally getting their morning apple. He kept an eye on Midoriya from afar so that he knows for a fact that the boy was getting better, he seems to be putting on a lot more weight recently. That’s a little off because if he remembers correctly, Midoriya hasn’t been eating that much more than normal, right? Yes it’s more but it’s only about a serving more than what he usually gets and his quirk requires food/energy to work. Besides keeping an eye out for Midoriya in the morning and finally getting back to class after having a break from the interning they got done doing. He was having a calm, normal morning. 

While in class he took notes and saw how many of their classmates kept looking at Midoriya, sometimes spacing out or looking…. Nervous? No no, no it’s more close to silent frustration as he mumbled to himself. Fumikage had also taken notice of the extra camara’s around, if he can see more of them or is just imagining how many more he can see sends a light shiver down his spine. Besides the security cameras, he also noticed how Aizawa and Yamada sensei both seemed to be keeping a much closer eye on Midoriya too. 

He’s not good at reading them because of how good they are at masking their true emotions but he thinks he can see worry. Dark Shadow said that it feels like they are worried about the classes bright sun and it seems like whatever his classmate came back from, they picked up more than spiders. This was the main reason he was watching Midoriya, whatever the quirk effect had on him it made spiders orbit him like a giant star and Dark said there was a really really big spider that never left the sunlight's side. Fumikage is guessing Dark means the one that never seems to leave his hair but they never fully explain themselves.

After class is done they all go to lunch. It wasn’t really an eventful day of watching Midoriya to make sure he was okay but that was fine. He would rather want his classmate to be safe than hurt to begin with. It also soothes his worries when he sees so many others acting like garden angels over him too, he didn’t need to focus too hard on him, at least. Eating lunch while making sure Midoriya was in his line of sight would be enough for him and Heroics class is right around the corner. Fumikage hopes that Midoriya is ready for the class because he doesn't want him to get hurt if they were doing a spare of something.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Toru was really good at hiding, she knew this because she knew how to hide, obvious right? The quirk she has helps a lot too but…. Well just because she’s invisible doesn't mean that she doesn't need to worry about how hard she walks or how loud she breathes or how to stay still for long periods of time so now one could hear clothes that she could be wear. So when everyone was eating lunch, she ate while walking to the lunch room because some of the class seemed to think Midoriya needed to be watched closely. Toru was watching their classmate while being completely naked, it will never not be weird to be naked in a public place even when it's been the normal since she was born. With all the social norms being shoved down her throat saying she was bad for doing it to begin with, it will never not be weird. Being desensitized to it does not mean that it doesn't bother her sometimes besides how people treated her while growing up. 

When Midoriya was getting food, a lot of it, she took off her clothes and gave her bag to Aoyama. Denki even told her about some of his concerns, Jiro just told them to lay off the greenet and give him space but also looked a weird mix of curious and worried. So when Midoriya turned down the invite to sit with his friend group that all seemed to understand and leave him to it, Turo followed behind him. She was a reasonable distance away and made sure to follow as he walked outside. Now she had to make sure she didn’t walk on anything that could hurt her feet or make a damn noise or accidently kick something, also had to avoid grass.

If only he stayed inside the loud and easy to walk around lunchroom, it would be so much more fun at least. Midoriya continued to walk until he got to the woods near their dorms, that’s a far walk just to eat? Toru wanted to groan as Midoriya automatically not walk on the path but instead through the rougher parts that would hurt her feet and also make noise if she follows him. She’ll just have to take the path and hope to see him eventually. Before she could walk on the path, the spider that seems to always be with him now caught her eyes. It was looking straight at her, weird? Didn’t Koda say spiders have bad eyesight? Maybe it was just a quick look in her direction by coincidence or she was just getting paranoid with them being everywhere. 

She turned back to the path and started to walk down it, looking at the ground to make sure she doesn't make much noise by crunching on leaves or something dumb like that. Walking carefully as she misses sticks, leaves, bugs, rocks and the like. While trying to keep up with Midoriya, she hears something from overhead, seeing a bag set by a tree that was by the path made her look up. Toru saw a purple hair and eyed student relaxing in the tree, food in his hands as he looked in the area where she could still hear Midoriya walking. “Who the fuck is that?” She heard him say under his breath right before taking a bite from his food. “No one ever comes out here.” He watches for a little while longer before deciding to go back to his food.

Toru knows for a fact that he’s from the sports festival but not his name, she decides to leave him behind as she goes back to following her classmate that had been a little bit out of it recently and not really getting better, that being one Midoriya Izuku. As she continues to follow the noise that is being made by Midoriya as he walks through the brush of the woods. Toru looks around a little as it seems he stopped moving a bunch, she was still far behind but he must just be getting ready to relax now. Finally. She looks as more spider webs appear here and there, slowly growing in number. When she thinks she’s getting closer to where Midoriya was sitting down to eat, she has to start dodging more and more webs. It was hard to avoid them now, they seem to be just strangling the woods in them.

The path was also getting more rough, people must not come down here much. As Toru seems to finally get close enough to at least hear Midoriya, she notices that she can't really go any further without somehow notifying him that she’s there. She can at least somewhat hear him….. Making some kind of noises or maybe just his normal mumbling he does. Well, he’s also recently been hissing and clicking under his breath more now too. Toru got as close as she could without giving away her position and decided to get comfortable where she’s standing. 

While she’s standing there, she can hear some things being mumbled but not the words themselves. Toru can’t see him from the angle she has but only one voice is talking/mumbling anything out. She thinks it’s something about eating and sleeping or something along those lines. Midoriya is probably just worried about his own health or whatever. He was out of it for a long time and today they are going into a heroics class, she hopes he’s okay through out i-.... Wait.

Was that…. Okay Toru was spacing out a little because she didn’t want to listen in on personal health things. Didn’t want to pull too much of his privacy away but…. Was that another voice she just heard?

Toru tries her best to hear what was being said but now she could only hear Midoriya again. He’s mumbling more than before, being more quiet than before. Did she make too much noise? She doesn't think that she made a noise while standing here but maybe she did? Either way Toru should probably start heading back. Her goal was to make sure he was okay, not make him uncomfortable while he was eating in a place he found most likely safe or out of the way from everyone. As quietly as she can, Toru walks away from where Midoriya was sitting, away from the millions of spider webs, past the sports festival kid that she still can’t remember the name of and out of the woods. She shivers a bit as she goes back to the lunch room. The area Midoriya was sitting in must have had a lot of spider eggs there or something. Spiders usually only group up like that after they hatch and need a place to stay before moving out a little more out, well it did seem like they were spreading. There were how many odd spiders at their dorms so that must mean some moved further away from the woods right?

Maybe she’ll ask Koda for more spider facts, probably a way to keep them away more because there are just so many of them recently. It gives her the chills.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rikido was known for his sweets, his dumb strength and his Shyness when it’s about receiving compliments. People usually look over him because of his basic strength aliment quirk, it has a weird activation but there are people with weirder. People let him be and are nice to him but no one really ever tries to get to know him or go out of their way to be his friend. Now that doesn't mean he doesn't have friends, he does but that also doesn't mean he’s actually great friends with everyone in class. So everyone in class doesn't really know a lot about his personal life. Now they know basic stuff, about his parents and their bakery. They know that he is a single child and helped in the bakery when he could also the fact that he liked to help out there too.

His classmates knew that a tea shop was connected to their bakery and that they were good business friends. Good enough business friends that in the last year, have combined their two shops with a double door in the wall. Rikido has taken the whole class to the bake shop, plus tea shop before and they love it to bits…. What they don’t know is that his parents are active quirk rights activists. They don’t know that whenever he goes back home on break days, he helps bring sweets and food to local homeless shelters. What his classmates don't know is that he actually doesn't like all heroes or really the HPSC that much. They could do better in his opinion.

What all his classmates never learned about him is the fact that his parents will help out anyone in need. That he has been there to help those people in need. That he was a hero student helping these people in need that could be a villain or a vigilant….. What his hero classmates don’t know is that he used to hang out with someone named Himiko Toga. They don’t know that she frequented a certain shelter for hard to control quirked individuals that opened their doors for anyone and everyone. This includes civilians, heroes, thugs, criminals, yakuza, villains, vigilantes, escapees, runaways, anyone and everyone could be there and it was a neutral help zone. Mostly those that were shunned by the world.... came here… and how more shunned could you be when you have a blood quirk while living on the streets. 

She loved the pig blood muffins he would bring for some mutant quirks. What his classmates don’t know is that Himiko taught him how to be sneaky and quiet. She taught him how to throw a good punch and the basics of knives. They didn't know that before she never came back to the shelter again…. Is that she taught Rikido how to blend in better and how to spy a little better than he should be able to with his very built body and also no background in anything hero related. 

Now, Because of this…. Sometimes…. He might pop up behind someone and scare them by mistake but it was only ever other students and never teachers. Hell, Rikido never seemed to be able to sneak up on Jiro, Toru, Shoji, Aoyama, Sero, and Midoriya even when he tried his best not to be noticed. They just always seemed to know where everyone in the room was, no matter how relaxed they seemed. So you could understand Rikido’s shock when he knows for a fact Midoriya didn’t notice him when they were in the locker rooms, in fact he startled him. He was on his way to the bathroom in the changing room to get a little bit more privacy because of him just being embarrassed by a scare he has… yes still. You’d think he would be over that embarrassment because of how many of them have gotten hurt in this class and have gained some marks over the villain attacks that have happened over the year. Everyone has something on them now but he’s still a little self conscious. 

So when he needed to change into his hero costume and didn’t think anything about how loud his footsteps were or the fact he was trying to make sure no one pointed out he was leaving the changing area. Rikido didn’t notice that Midoriya did the same thing but before him and got changed faster than he now thinks is physically possible. Soooo… he went over and as Midoriya opened the door, he jumped. They both jumped actually, he scared Midoriya and Midoriya scared him. Now yea, that was a normal interaction for people but for Midoriya and him… no... that was so far from the norm. 

It didn’t help that when Midoriya jumped he looked weird. For a second Rikido swore he could have seen his eyes change to red and lines digging into his cheeks as if those lines sunk in? Or maybe like the in between lines you see on like a box or folded paper or maybe like something that could open up? It was weird, it was strange and it was gone . Just like that. Rikido blinked and it was normal again. Midoriya was standing there looking uncomfortable with his green eyes and normal cheeks with his spider on his head that was standing on its hind legs trying to look threatening. Light hissing from the spider could be heard and he was still slightly reeling from what he saw or what he... thinks he saw? 

Midoriya apologized to him for scaring him when he left the stall. Rikido watches as Midoriya’s eyes flick to behind himself, snaps his hand behind him and then gives a soothing smile. It was… a little weird and kinda off putting to see his usually upbeat but nervous classmate act so… off but all too soon Midoriya walked around him and out of the changing room. Rikido turned around to try and talk to him, he really did but he stopped when he saw it. Midoriya was clutching his fist so hard that he cut into his own palms. The blood from his fist that was squeezed shut wasn’t enough to make droplets fall but it was enough to be noticed if one looks. 

Maybe he should keep an eye out for Midoriya in heroics today. If a simple little scare from seeing him when he opened a door would get a reaction like that…. Either it be frustration, fear or somehow anger. Rikido should really keep an eye out for that. He knows Midoriya is strong and kind and would never hurt any of them but the image of blood red eyes and weird cheek slits. With a quirk that affected him and is still slightly affecting him. He doesn't know how Midoriya would react to others right now….. Especially after he saw that. Rikido will definitely need to be watching that closely. 

Chapter Text

Shouto was…. Not good with social cues like everyone else was. He just didn’t get it but at the same time he loved to joke about not understanding something so much, it is his fault for getting the title of dense prince charming. It was given to him by some of the girls of their class but Shouto acted like he didn’t understand why he would be called a prince because he didn’t have any royal blood running through his veins unless they counted the flaming trash as royal. Now because he’s bad at social cues normally but also as a joke party on his part…. He didn’t know why everyone was acting weird with Midoriya. 

His friend seemed fine at first and that was at the beginning of him finally being back. Yes, Shouto saw Midoriya acting weird but their teacher told them it was the effect of a quirk slowly wearing off. They were told to give him space and everyone said that Shouto was good at giving people space to begin with so that didn't change how he was going to treat Midoriya. Then he started acting a little off , Shouto pointed this out to the green teen but everyone always seemed so tense when he asked these types of questions for some reason. Midoriya gave him a soft smile while explaining why he was acting differently every time he asked one of his questions so he never saw the harm in asking them. 

Why was he eating more meat than normal?

I’m more hungry than normal but I also need a lot of food intake for my quirk and I was a little embarrassed by how much I needed to eat before.

Why do you seem more anxious than before?

I can tell everyone is watching me and it puts me on edge.

Those were the type of answers Shouto would receive and everyone always seemed so wide eyed when Midoriya would answer him. Just because everyone kept asking for personal or deep questions and the greennet decided he didn’t want to answer, doesn't mean he won't answer any type of question. Now he has noticed that Midoriya does seem to avoid everyone but Shouto did that himself when he was dealing with something so he didn’t find it all too strange. So he never thought there was going to be any harm in asking Midoriya this question while they were waiting for Cementoss sensei to show up for this heroic lesson in gym Gamma. ”Midoriya?”

Shouto noticed that Aizawa was watching Midoriya a little more than normal like everyone else and seemed to perk up when he called out to him. As always a small smile that was a lot smaller than his usual one he would give others, was on Midoriya’s face as he turned toward him. Once he knew that he had Midoriya’s attention he asked his question. “Have you been eating too much because it seems like you are starting to gain a bump where your stomach is?” Shouto thinks it’s a fair question to ask because Midoriya’s stomach used to be flat but now there was an obvious bump that was usually hidden behind all his school clothes. 

The hero suit that Midoriya has is slightly skin tight so it became very clear that he has gained weight over the last month/close to it, of getting out of the raid he went too. Yes, Shouto knows that they went on a raid and that the quirk effect was something from that so it should have worn off by now but it’s still affecting him. He watched as the smile seemed to strain on Midoriya’s face, it was weird to see. It looks like Midoriya was holding back on saying something, like it was right about to come out but just wouldn’t. “Oh…” The greenet’s eyes travel down to his clear as day bump then looks back to him. “Maybe I am but my quirk uses a lot of energy so it’s not bad.”

Shouto blinks at the answer, usually he would somehow reassure that the quirk effect would soon end and that he’s just getting more comfortable with living in the dorms. Midoriya didn’t do that this time. Kaminari seemed to step into the conversation that was on the verge of ending because Shouto got his answer even if it was different from the usual ones he gets. He watched as the blond started to try and work on what he wanted to say. The greenet looked a little more uncomfortable after Shouto asked that one question, what was so wrong with it? He’s asked plenty of questions before and all of them were close to those types of personal range as well. 

The rest of the time waiting for Cementoss sensei was quickly filled with light talking and banter. It seemed Shouto was able to make everyone more comfortable with talking to Midoriya now but also made them steer clear of questions or topics of weight, spiders, and odd behaviors. 

—--------------------------

They were learning how to better use their ultimate moves. Seeing what they all can uniquely do and how to execute them or see if they can have a partner to help execute a move better. A lot of his classmates liked the naming aspect of it besides finding who worked best with each other. There was also the fact that some of the class was still finding it hard to even think of a ‘ultimate’ move. Shouto was personally still trying to work with getting his flames in control besides trying to see how much he can fine tune his ice attacks/defenses. All he was really doing was quickly cooling the air around him, only in small patches though, and then he would raise the temp in that air as fast as he could. Shouto was making little explosions everywhere he went, trying to make sure that he didn’t catch himself up in the aftermath. It could be used in many different ways but it's not as fine controlled as Bakugo's blasts.

Slowly building up how much cool air he made scolding, slowly growing the blast range as he tried to make sure no one gets caught up in the aftermath of this training. This would be a great ultimate move for him as it also could make cover if need be which could leave into another ultimate move. Shouto doesn't know when or how or why but at one point he lost track of time. Then all too soon there was screaming filling the air around his slowly growing explosions. 

He stopped making them immediately and quickly looked around, taking in his surroundings and seeing if he injured someone. He wanted to curl up at the thought of him hurting someone with his fire, it licked at the back of his mind as his eyes followed where some of their classmates were looking at. Some of them were walking to where the scream came from, their teachers lightly jogged to where the noise came from. Shouto wasn’t one for drama or gossip really but he wanted to make sure Midoroya was okay, he couldn’t see him. 

Using a light sheet of ice on the ground let him glide over to where the commotion was happening. His classmates seemed to be talking about what's happening as their other teachers tried to get them back to working. He makes sure the ice melts as he finally makes it to what happened. “-ma are you okay?” The duel quirked boy looked over to Cementoss sensei as he assessed how Aoyama was going. He seemed to be sprawled out on his back, looking in…. Terror…. At Midoriya.

“Midoriya, why are you in an aggressive fighting stance right now?” His eyes glazed over to the green haired boy to see him looking….. Feral is the only word Shouto could describe looking on his friend's face. He was in a low, wide open stance, hands in a claw like shape instead of fists while his face…. Why was Midoriya’s face so full of hate? Fear? Anger? He didn’t look happy is what he's trying to get across but why did he look like that? The young greenet only ever looked that way to villains the worst of the lot too and Aoyama was far from it. The clear snarl on the smaller boy features is what's throwing him off the most. It was throwing Shouto off so much that he didn’t even notice the other hissing. A loud purposeful hiss made by him and the spider riding on his right shoulder. “Midoriya.” Aizawa was in front of him, he seemed upset but Shouto could see the worry in their Sensei’s eyes, their teacher was always amazing at hiding his emotions.

Everyone is worried, clearly but Sensei seemed more worried than anyone else right now. This was the quirk effect still in work right? Why would Aizawa Sensei be so worried? They all told them not to worry and Aizawa himself even said that it would go away eventually. “Midoriya, listen to me.” It seemed the greenet finally snapped out of it, he stopped hissing but the spider on his shoulder kept hissing, it did drop out of it’s aggressive stance at least. It seemed like Midoriya was a little dazed, he looked around but his eyes seemed to focus on Aizawa quickly enough.

“Midoriya….. I’m going to take you to the nurses office. Then you will tell me what happened because it seemed Aoyama wasn't hurt and you just wanted to….. Scare him? Or maybe get him further away from you?” Aizawa shook his head and looked back at Midoriya. He still seemed out of it but focused on their Sensei as best he could. Shouto couldn’t figure out what was going on, why would Midoriya want to scare or get Aoyama away from him? It’s not like Aoyama didn’t like Midoriya or even ever show hostility to him. Shouto made sure to keep track of anyone that showed anger toward him, it was a friend's job to make sure each other was safe. 

Aizawa unwound his scarf a little and put it in Midoriya’s hands, he gripped it tightly and soon both of them were walking away. Midoriya still seemed out of it but he kept a hold of the scarf. He watched as they walked out of the gym. Loud whispering started up as everyone looked back and forth between where Midoriya and sensei went and then looking over to their blonde classmate plus Cementoss sensei. He was confused and didn’t understand what really happened, why it happened or if it was all the effect of some quirk draw back. Shouto watched, wondering if it was the result of asking that question directed at Midoriya's weight he made earlier or maybe seeing if his friend would be okay with him even asking why he acted that way to begin with, would that be an okay question to ask.

Chapter Text

Shouta didn’t know what happened, or how exactly it happened but Midoriya was standing a little ways away from Aoyama. That wasn’t the weird or concerning part, the worst part that made Shouta want to take Midoriya away from anyone and make sure he was safe/fine was the fact he looked ready to attack the boy at any second . This is why he was so confused at the moment but it worried him more than anything else. Looking back the class seemed to start okay, everyone was being normal and relaxed besides the fact no one seemed to get too close to Midoriya, again. At the beginning of all of this Shouta thought it was them outcasting the boy because they couldn’t understand why he was acting the way he was but they all seem to be doing it out of respect. Not wanting to invade the greenets space without making him jumpy or be more scared of them. 

Everyone was in place and calm, for the most part until Todoroki went up to Midoriya. His eyes were on them immediately, watching the interaction closely so he could analyze it in depth a little later. It looked like the smaller of the two didn’t see Todoroki as a threat or really anything to worry about, unlike the rest of the class for some reason. “Have you been eating too much because it seems like you are starting to gain a bump where your stomach is?” The words just tumble out of the half n half teens mouth and Shouta couldn’t agree more. It was harder to notice with the normal student uniform but now with Midoriya being in his hero outfit, it was clear as day. Was the smaller eating too much? Shouta did notice that Midoriya was eating a lot with them but it was explained away by quirk draw back/quirk effect working hand in hand. They were told not to worry about it but to keep an eye out for it, Shouta realizes he’s been trying to keep watch on his personality change so much so that he didn’t look that much at his physically. 

The smile that the greenet was wearing before Todoroki asked the question now looked strained, like he wanted to speak but chose not to. Shouta has seen that face on Midoriya when kids were being particularly mean to someone with different quirks or uncommon quirks that shouldn’t be treated differently for having them. Basically he’s seeing Midoriya wanting to correct Todoroki in some way but Shouta doesn't know what he would be trying to correct. “Oh…” He watched on as the greenet looked down to his stomach and then back to Todoroki. “Maybe I am but my quirk uses a lot of energy so it’s not bad.”

Shouta tries to understand that answer, trying to see if there was something hidden there but…. He couldn’t find anything and soon everyone was going about their training or perfecting on certain moves. Midoriya looked more uncomfortable after that talk, well not really talking but the closest thing to a talk Shouta has watched the other have in such a long time. After the question was asked though everyone looked more calm now. They talked to Midoriya and even asked tips on moves. Shouta did notice they tried to keep away from certain topics, they probably knew it would give them nothing but attitude, agitation, or anger.

Since he did have a whole class to watch, Shouta looked away from Midoriya when he needed to. He made sure to check in with everyone and make sure they were on task but he did look at greenet the most. It couldn’t be helped, his eyes just kept drifting back to him in worry. Besides that though, everything was fine. Midoriya worked on moves but nothing really strenuous, he was honestly in his notebook most of the time writing something down. Shouta tried to see what but it was like the young boy was writing in a different language, one that he’s never seen…. Okay he doesn't want anyone to look at his work so it’s probably just a code, he could understand that and also the kid’s writing was a lot more clear now and not just everywhere like a madman's journals at least.

When Shouta was working on trying to get Kirishima to understand it might be good to get clothes outfitted with his DNA so that he could have a shirt/some armor on, that’s when it happened. A loud scream or yell? He doesn't really know for sure but as soon as he heard it, Shouta ran. He glanced at everyone and how they were on his way to the direction of the scream, he took notice that he didn’t see Midoriya around anywhere. After slowing down to a walk, he saw what he was making him want to take the kid away right fucking then and there . They where there anymore but the image of Aoyama looking terrified filtered into the back of his mind as he walked Midoriya to Chiyo’s office. 

It was quiet as they traveled the halls, the faces of his students swirled around in his mind practically the whole time. All of them seemed worried but Shouta could see the fear, worry or anger Bakugo’s case on their faces, Todoroki looked confused but also seemed to want to come along. All of them have been through so much already, even Eri has been through too much. She was supposed to be coming to UA in a day or so as well, Eri said that she couldn’t wait to see ‘Izu’ again. He doesn't know where she learned his name but Shouta decided to expect anything that came his way from the two survivors being the most affected from the Overhaul fight. 

A tug from his scarfe made him slow down and turn to look at Midoriya. The kid was looking at him still, like he has the whole walk so far but it felt different this time. He doesn't know why but it felt more…. Intense or chilling this time around. What didn’t make sense was that he got a feeling of dread when he looked to the right side of the kid, not in the kid's eyes where it would make more sense but when looking past Midoriya to his right is what got the hairs on the back of his neck to stand on end. That doesn't even count for the fact of feeling another pair of eyes now. It wasn’t there for the whole time, for actually most of the time he was with Midoriya walking to the nurses office but now it’s here and it’s making the air thick, hard to breath almost.

“What is it kid? Are you finally coming back from where you were floating too?” Shouta watched as Midoriay’s eyes focused back on him, it was slow but a lot faster then he honestly thought it would take. He just wants the kid to get back to his normal self again so he doesn't have to struggle like this. Why does the world want to hurt this specific class so much? Maybe it’s all of his bad karma coming back to hurt him in the only way it could, by hurting others around him and not himself. 

The kid's face finally focused fully on him and Shouta was given a big smile, one of the only ones he had seen sense the raid. “Daa-..... Aizzzawa!” Midoriya’s eyes closed as he smiled at him and he didn’t really understand the reaction or why he was just so happy to be with his grumpy old sensei. Whatever it was that made him so happy just to see him, didn’t make the chill leave and it didn’t get the second pair of eyes to leave him either. Shouta’s nerves were strung up high but at least the kid seemed happy and they were still walking fine. “Glad you're back with us kid but let's get you to Recover Girl to make sure you're okay.” 

—----------------------------------------------------

Shouta stood in the room with Midoriya as they waited for Recover Girl to come back. He asked her for an update on his condition because it has been a long time since anyone did some type of blood test or quirk test. For the blood test, it was to look for the fast moving cells it did last time. They were moving faster than the other cells and they seemed to be affected by Eri’s quirk or another type of quirk effect, it also helped that after those blood cells finally stopped speeding around like they were on 5x speed that they just shrunk until they disappeared. With the quirk test it was to see if anything changed with the reader, last time it read an error message. Shouta was told that it was first flipping between positive and then negative back and forth until it read an error. They didn’t know why that was the case but the only thing they could think about was a quirk effect but they couldn’t tell if it was the bullets, Eri’s quirk or an outside source that they didn’t know about and still have no knowledge about mind you.

Those were the only things in the little packet that they gave to Chiyo so that she could test it herself to see if everything was fine. The doctors thought it was unnecessary because Midoriya was supposed to just slowly go back to how he was. That obviously wasn’t the case because he is in the room right now, feeling eyes from somewhere… glaring at him. It felt more oppressive as soon as he entered the room with the greenet and Shouta had no idea why. Midoriya himself seemed….. On edge as soon as he saw Chiyo for some reason. He didn’t understand and it was starting to get on Shouta’s nerves that he was so in the dark about all of this. 

The spider that was on the kid seemed to be slowly making a web on the side table by the bed he was sitting on. It was weird, everything this whole month has been weird and weirder and Shouta just wanted his kid to be back to how he was again. Those glazed eyes stared at where RG left to check the blood work, when they got to the nurses room he seemed to zone out more. Shouta just sat there and waited in this…. Silence…. This suffocating silence that made him feel as if he was about to be attacked at any second. The clicking sound of small shoes on porcelain tiles is what seemed to make Shouta relax a little. She was finally back to give the verdict, if the quirk was still in effect or did they have to look for the one responsible because no one in Overhauls yakuza had a quirk that could affect someone like this.

RG walked into the room and the spider that has been with Midoriya sense the first time Zashi watched him, quickly scurried back to the green hair it’s been calling it’s home. As Chiyo walked toward them Shouta could see that she tried to look calm and not tense, why was she? He watched as she held a few papers in front of her and started to read a basic rundown on Midoriya’s health. He swears that he could feel how taut Midoriya’s own muscles are at the moment as Chiyo read but that was something he was trying his best to ignore because RG just gave a hand sign.

Shouta’s eyes never wavered from her right hand after he saw a calm slow flick of her pointer and middle finger. This was a way for all of the staff to show they are going to be given an order or warn them about something, meaning that whatever she found in the test is some code they have prepared for. He keeps his eyes off of Midoriya as Recovered Girl quickly flicked out her pinky finger and just disguised it as adjusting her hold on the papers in her hands. That little move told him that she has already informed Nedzu and by how quick it was that also means other members of staff are coming here. It felt like a cold chill brushed past him as he tried to think of why others would be coming here, what did she find in Midoriya’s test that warranted such a reaction. Well, Shouta knows of some obscure mind control quirks that slightly alter the victims body or blood. Was the kid affected by something like tha- no no He has to focus on what else she might be telling him. 

He kept his eyes on her hand as she suddenly let go of the papers with her right hand and proceeded to roll her wrist. Chiyo then rolled her shoulders right after rolling her wrist and continued to talk about what she had found on the blood works. It was well hidden as just some normal pain anyone in her age range could have but everything seemed fake and rehearsed as a bucket of freezing cold water was just dumped down Shouta’s back. Rolling one's right wrist means that Midoriya is either one, being controlled/is a fake but it’s undecided or two has something in him that is hurting him and he could become volatile… they are never used much or at all really so he can’t remember the number of hand rolls to distinguish them at the moment. The rolling of the shoulders told him that the kid is to be calmly restrained or just locked up until they could figure it out, depending on the situation it could change to one or the other. If they could, they would make sure Midoriya isn’t destressed and happy the whole way through but being questioned or looked at to see if you are really you is never going to go so smoothly. Let alone the fact the kid has been acting off this whole time after the Overhaul fight and raid in general, one can never be too safe. 

“-hen looking at certain parts of Midoriya’s blood I see…. Inconsistencies that don’t make sense.” Shouta zoned back into whatever Chiyo was saying but he’s still trying to process what was told to him. “There is…. Something in your blood that shouldn’t belong there.” RG looked over to Midoriya who looked ready to bolt at any moment or either fight them to the bone to leave. “Something is either inside his blood or some type of…. Maybe infection or…. How do I put this… parasite, leech?” Shouta saw how Midoriya froze, he didn’t blink, he didn’t breathe, there was no movement as Chiyo continued on and she seemed to get more antsy as she talked. “-st solution to keep him healthy as it seems these inconsistencies are damaging, strangely enough, his lungs, diaphragm, colon, the urinary bladder and smaller intestines. What I would recommend and Aizawa it would be best for you to decide because Midoriya put your number as his other emergency contact after being told he needed two plus you are his homeroom teacher and also the fact Midoriya Inko hasn’t picked up the phone, this needs a quick decision so the teacher with partial custody of the student would need to give permission to begin with, a surgery or intensive treatment would need to be done to get rid of the things I have obse-” Midoriya moved

Shouta quickly grabbed the kid as he lunged at Chiyo who seemed to also swiftly dodge out of the way from the attack. He struggled to hold the greenet as he thrashed around, growling and howling animalistically while trying his best to attack RG. He’s unable to see Midoriya’s face but it seems whatever RG is seeing is making her own face pale a little. “HOLD HIM FOR A LITTLE LONGER AIZAWA!” Chiyo yelled over the steadying louder screaming the kid was doing. “THE OTHERS SHOULD BE HERE SHORTLY AND THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO HELP PU- AIZAWA MOVE YOUR A-” Shouta screamed out but continued to hold tight of Midoriya as he felt sharp teeth and something else grip onto his arm and start ripping into it. He tried to pull or rip it out of Midoriya’s hold but his jaws were held on tight, the feeling of warm blood seeping into his clothes and dripping down his arm was all he could feel besides the pain. 

As Shouta was about to start trying to get his arm back again, he had to let go of the kid and dodge to the left as something zipped out of the kid trying to skewer his head. His arm was not let go and the feeling of his flesh being pulled apart, muscles tearing off of his body filled his ears. It reminded him of how when you bite into a piece of meat and the sound echoes in your head as you crunch down of that first bite. His eyes landed on the door to the infirmary as Zashi was standing there, same with Nem and he thinks maybe someone else but the ripping/tearing sounds was still filling his ears as a chunk of himself was finally pulled off by Midoriya. 

Shouta made a guttural scream as he pulled his arm back into his chest but kept his glowing eyes now on the kid, was this his kid? Was this someone else hiding as his kid? Where was his problem child? His eyes land on Midoriya’s? face, what seemed to be sleek spider pedipalps or maybe mandibles?, came out where his cheeks used to be and the whites of his eye had turned a deep dark red. Shouta’s fresh blood drips down his chin as flesh and cloth are still gripped tightly in his jaw, blood dripping from the chunk of his arm missing the piece that was in the kid's mouth. Not moving his eyes off the kid, the others start slowly coming in because the kid is facing away from the door, as Midoriya’s focus seemed to be on him and Chiyo. The pedipalps? seemed to move around until they grabbed onto some of the ripped shirt they tore off which by the way was fucking slash and tear proof . Shouta’s eyes didn’t leave Midoriya's face as the tattered and ripped cloth was pulled from his mouth but not his own flesh and the kid STARTED CHEWING/EATING HIS ARM OR WELL the fucking part he ripped off!!! 

His stomach rolled as the kid looked him in the eyes as he just stood there tense chewing and then swallowing the… his…. At this point he just wants to go to bed and hope this is all a weird bad dream fuck a damn nightmare more like it. Shouta got into more of a fighting stance as the little legs? started to slide back into his? Students face. No one talked as they all knew how strong the kid was, and he’s already blinked to not waste his limited time. They don’t know if this is a fake or not but even if they aren't Midoriya, they/the student might still have his original strength even without the quirk. He was either very lucky or down right blessed by the rat god that he didn’t get his arm torn off COMPLETELY by his maybe student going glow mode to begin with. Everyone tensed and ready themselves as the kid seemed to shuffle a little in place, he looked a little wobbly. 

Out of the corner of Shouta’s eyes he could see Nem trying to move closer, Hizashi’s right on her tail as backup. Blood dripped down his arm and now started to roll down his sides, red splattered and was stark contrast on white tile as he stood firm while Midoriya seemed to start to become more unstable in his stance. Shouta moved a little closer to the front of his maybe kid so that he would be more focused on him, this would leave a better opening for Nemuri to put them to sleep without also getting a bite taken out of her or getting somehow hurt worse. “Midoriya…” He spoke out the greenets name to try and get more of his attention and it seemed to work. Nem went in faster to let off gas around the kid but suddenly something? was ripping out of Midoriya’s back.

Nemuri and Hizashi dodged out of the way as something speeding by their heads like what happened to himself not even a few moments ago. Instead of whatever or well whoever it was going and retracting back into his student, it stayed out as a more human upper half seemed to also emerge from Midoriya’s back, arm first. The loud sound of meat being ripped and torn apart filled his ears again along with the sound of wet squelching and fabric just falling apart at the seams. Shouta didn’t know what in ever loving fuck he was looking at but who ever it was started to hiss at everyone and everything in the room as they where dripping in blood . Bright burning red eyes surrounded in a darker red glared at him, another pair looked at Chiyo and for all he knew another was looking at Nem and Zashi.

Whoever it was seemed to slowly pull themself out of his students, in the back of his mind Chiyo’ voice saying parasite seemed to reverberate around his skull. Clicking and hissing grew louder as the perp was getting out of his kid , he needed to get his kid away from that thing . The feeling of dread that he felt earlier in the hallway with his kid was back in full force and now it was mixed with some type of terror the longer he looked at this person? but he has to get to his kid. A low whimper was the only sound Midoriya made as soon as the villain? Monster? Whatever they were, finally got out of them. Is there just a hollow space in him now? Will Shouta’s problem child just…. Just die ? The greenet was unsteady on his feet as the thing stood tall beside him, they kept his kid balanced but Shouta would rather they not touch his kid at all. “Hey eraser, part 5?” He did his best to focused on the words Hizashi said but didn’t look at him as he kept his attention on the maybe spider heteromorph or was this some creature the Shie Hassaikai made like the LOV and the Nomus? Shouta’s quirk would have no effect on them because of their mutation though, he’s kinda hating himself because of that small fact right now.

The man dripping in a mix of red/black blood, what looks like tiny specks of skin and loose clothes scraps then started angling himself to have his back to the wall, Midoriya behind him as they continued to keep as close as they could to each other. The hissing and clicking never seemed to die down as his student was shifted further behind the intruder. After the white haired? Or was it slightly pink, the blood made it hard to tell, man let go of his student so that the greenet could lean against the wall and slide down to sit on the floor leaving a light trail of blood smudged on the wall as he goes, Shouta nodded his head. It was an answer to the part 5 question because they could do that, as long as no other teacher came running into the room. All they needed to do was separate the two a little more, knock them out by whatever means necessary, and it would be instant heavy restraints and many layers of them. In the knockout part there is wiggle room if they can just hand them off so someone else or even if needed…. Kill them but that is always a last resort. They will also need to keep the attention on Zashi and him as much as they can, having someone else thrown into the mix usually messes them up with the slow but well timed cornering and separation from Midoriya and the things part. They were a good team and knew how to work best together but having that extra thrown in there makes them unbalanced while in the middle of executing a plan.

Slowly he and Hizashi started getting a little closer together, Nem shuffled back while taking off her heels so that she could be quieter and faster on her feet. The guys? Face started to open more to show off their extremely sharp teeth as the hissing grew louder. The inside of that thing's mouth was pitch black and the leg things he saw on his kids face was also on theirs. “Zash, watch out for more leg things.” He got a nod from his partner in response and a grunt from Nemuri to let them know that she was also ready or heard his advice for Zashi.

Shouta moved slowly as the bastard widened their stance, ready for a fight while still hissing. He kept focus on Nem, Zashi, his student and the fucker that’s been in his kid this entire fucking time. He started to go to the right as Hizashi went to the left, Nemuri tried to make sure to not catch their eye as they started to get into a better position to use her quirk. Shouta is very glad that her quirk doesn't work on him and Hizashi that well. The thing swiped at him as he got closer to them, his arm was still bleeding and dripping all over the place as he dodged the sharp claws on the guy. With their attention on him, Hizashi shot forward and tried to DJ punch them in the side or gut. It didn’t work as they dodged closer to Shouta and looked to get ready to bite him like his kid just did. He was lucky to move fast enough as the teeth grazed his shoulder and arm when it was supposed to be his neck getting a chunk taken out of it. 

A whimper from his student made him want to get this over with faster as he tried to get the villain in his capture scarf. A louder hiss sounded out as more spindly legs shot out from behind them to intercept his capture scarf. It was quickly skewered in the many legs that ripped the small part of his scarf that was meant to catch them. “ₛ₋ₛₜₒₚ... ₚₗₑₐₛₑ” The words where quiet, Shouta could hear his student but he can’t pay attention to Midoriya at the moment. Another swipe at him with sharpened claws to his face made him take another step back, Hizashi tried to get in between the kid and the creep. This seemed to backfire though as the fucker quickly spun around to try and attack Zashi, making him get further away from his kid. 

“ₛₜₒₚ ᵢₜ” Shouta thinks that he can hear Midoriya again but he needs to focus on the fight. He needs to get this over with so they can heal the kid and lock this disgusting thing away. They were back now to where the guy was in front of his kid as they were there trying to get him away again. “ᵀᵒᵐᵘ.” The hissing quilted down when Shouta thought his student was saying something, the white haired person seemed to look at his student before focusing back on them. He was about to attack when someone burst into the room. He let his eyes zip over to the door to see FUCKING VLAD oh fuck him, in the damn door way. It was quiet as everyone looked at the blood hero who seemed ready to flung himself into the fight. “Tᴏᴍᴜʀᴀ!” That was the loudest Shouta heard his student talk after that thing left their back and it seemed to catch its, Tomura’s? Attention.

The person gained a new sense of speed as they practically teleported to his students side, seeming worried and…. And concerned. Everyone was at a stand still as light clicking, chirping, and hissing noise sounded from the fuckers mouth. They then started to maybe look over his kid for injuries as if they didn’t rip themself from his damn back. “ᵀᵒ⁻ᵗᵒᵐᵘʳᵃ... ᴵ ᶜᵃⁿ'ᵗ ᵘⁿᵈᵉʳˢᵗᵃⁿᵈ ʸᵒᵘ ʷᶦᵗʰᵒᵘᵗ ʸᵒᵘ ʰᵉʳᵉ.” A smile…. A god forsaken smile spreads across Midoriya’s face as he reaches out to the one that has been hurting him this whole time. He felt Hizashi get closer to him as Shouta was closer to the two but it seemed Nem wasn’t that far behind them. She probably wasn’t able to find an opening when they were fighting because she’s barely close enough to use her quirk effectively on them without taking everyone else in the room out with her.

Shouta can feel Hizashi shivering in maybe disgust or anger as Tomura? Nuzzled into the hand offered to him by his student. "ᵂᵉ ⁿᵉᵉᵈ.... ᴺᵉᵉᵈ ᵗᵒ ᵉˣᵖˡᵃᶦⁿ ᵗʰᶦⁿᵍˢ ᵗᵒ ᵗʰᵉᵐ ᵀᵒᵐᵘ." The person sank into the ground as they curled into his student with a content look on their face. He saw their hand lay gently on Midoriya’s…. His kid's stomach. Their pin needle-like spider legs spread out to protect them both as Midoriya slowly looked at them, eyes back to normal but seeming so tired. “Z-zawa, I think we need to talk to you.”

What the FUCK is HAPPENING with TODAY!!!

here is the picture of tomu btw

Chapter Text

Hizashi stands there, by his husband…. Looking…. He can’t look away from this… gross display of care? Devotion? God forbid, love ? From his student and this… person that ripped themselves out from their back. He hopes it’s a side effect, it has to be a side effect. After what seems to be a little bickering or just maybe quietly talking back and forth, he can’t tell… the thought of a s-spider person being in him makes his ears ring . Even though he can't really hear well at the moment, the whole time he could see the emotions swirling in both of their eyes. What did this person do to their little listener to make him look at them so… lovingly . Suddenly Midoriya was looking in their direction, no he’s looking at his moonlight, with a bright but tired smile on his face. How is he so bright after that, with so much blood lost? “Z-zawa, I think we need to talk to you.”

That nickname was cute but man this situation did not help that at all. It really was… cute but really looking at the lil listener like this while saying that was just, it felt sour in a way. Hizashi felt Sho tense up as he took a slight step forward but stopped as all red eyes zipped to stare daggers at him. A light tap from Midoriya got the bastard, really fucked up to hide yourself in a MINOR , to back down. “Stop tha-at, Aizawa is the one I kept telling you about.” A finger pointed at him while their kid still looked at that person that had been in them. Oh my god, in them…. In their back, was that the reason they had to eat so much? Eating for two this whole time? “That one is Yamada or Mic as I usually call him.” He stood a little taller as his name left the little listener's mouth. 

Deep all red eyes full of… not awe or respect but it was somehow close to it, looking at him and Shouta. The spider type person, ugh god creepy spider, then looked back to Midoriya and hummed while pointing to Nem and in turn also Vlad, it seems RG went to hide somewhere to get a better advantage because he can’t see her anywhere. A sigh leaves the green bean, their little green kid, as he looks over to the other two heroes/teachers. “They are my teachers. They are supposed to teach me…” The man, cuz this has to be a grown adult! Right? A very large teen?? Hopefully ??? But this person, he hopes is younger than he looks, growls… straight up animal growls, again after how many hisses he gave them, at both of them like being teachers is a bad thing or a dangerous thing?!? “They’re meant to protect me and have protected me, Tomu.”

TOMU, a name. That is a name even though it is probably a nickname but that is definitely part of this person's name. Shouta tenses as they look at Midoriya, still seeming a little angry and right there Hizashi realized he was scared that they would hurt him. That more blood would be ripped out of their kid because he stepped too far out of line with this spider creep. They look at the greenet for a bit, still seeming mad but looked between Nem, Vlad and then back to Midoriya. He doesn't know what they are trying to tell each other without words. Hizashi doesn't know if he wants to know how they are able to communicate by just looks alone but it seems to have worked. ‘Tomu’ seemed to have calmed down maybe, his face now neutral and no anger in sight but again his all red eyes held most of the answers. Hizashi doesn't know why he sees concern and understanding behind that neutral facade but it’s there. 

Shouta seems to still be tense, he hasn’t really let his guard down the whole time. His husband is ready to pull the other away from Midoriya but he knows that this could cause the kid more damage so right now it’s best to wait, there is no blood pooling under their feet after all that and the maybe hole that should be in Midoriya’s back. The blood must have just been what happens when they separate from their host? Carrier? He doesn't know. Hizashi flicks his eyes to Sho and tries to see if he’s going to talk… to do anything other than get ready for when he needs to split those two up. “A-anyways, ᵍᵒᵈ ᴵ'ᵐ ᵗᶦʳᵉᵈ, I need to… I guess, finally, tell you about Tomura.” The greenet sounded reluctant about that. He doesn't want to tell them about the person hitching a ride from him?!? Wtf wtf wtf, what in the fuck did this person do to their kid. At least they got a full name out of it, most likely first from how close they are acting and if not.... weird.

Hizashi clenched his jaw as he held in his anger, his sadness, his confusion, there were just too many emotions to list out. Too many things that he was feeling while staring at this… this thing that was happening. Midoriya was a kind boy with a bleeding heart and the only thing going through his head is how this freaky spider person might have used that against him while on the raid for the Yakuza. Midoriya huffs a little, seeming more tired then he’s seen him the whole time that spider one has been in their kid. “Okay… so Tomu is… nice and very talkative.” Hizashi’s eyes focus on a hand that runs across Midoriya’s back and then to his other shoulder, this leads to Tomura pulling Midoriya more into his chest. Now that he’s focusing a little more on the guy, they seem to be missing some legs, aren't spiders supposed to have 8 legs?... also like human legs are not there either. 

He hears some shuffling from where the two others in the room are, they must be trying to get closer with spider guy’s eyes back on their student. “He’s so so nice.” Hizashi tries to not focus on how much care and devotion sounds deep in that young voice, in his kids voice. Jaw clenching and unclenching more and more with every second going by. “I-i foun-... no, he found me… at the big fight.” Midoriya huffs a little between every word, like everything seems to need more energy to do. “So nice…. And warm…” The hair’s on the back of his neck stand on end as he watches the greenet rub his cheek on the other's chest. Midoriya’s eyes close for a second, breathing in then looking at them again. Like he had to recharge himself from just talking to them, his teachers! His protectors! His half guardians for crying out loud!!

“He got me…. T-to calm down?” He watches the kid look up to the one that has been fucking with his body the whole time. This was the reason why Midoriya acted so weird and distant and probably too scared to ask for help. Anger builds in the back of Hizashi’s throat as he holds in his quirk. Tomura, the disgusting creep, clicked a little as his eyes still held that softness as his green haired kid looked back to them. “Yea… yea he helped me ca-calm down.” He swears that he hears Nemuri say ‘how’ under her breath but he’s not quite sure. “H-he was so sweet and kind…. Helping me… helping to remember wh-what I was supposed to be doing.” Midoriya’s voice picked up at the end, making it sound light and happy, not anything close to how Hizashi thinks the little listener felt during that time. Also the fact, Midoriya forgot why he was there? No, that is not his kid, not his student. He would never forget that he was in the middle of saving someone, especially someone so young and scared and someone he saw personally affected by a villain, someone he personally fought to be allowed to help save.

“You remember what I was doing there right?” Midoriya’s head lolled heavily to the side in an attempt to tilt his head. Hizashi just wanted to get this over with, he just wanted to separate them so that he could finally hug his kid close as tears rolled down both their cheeks. They still don’t know if the kid will try to attack them for separating both of them though, even if he looks tired…. Overhaul was an example of what the kid was willing to do while exhausted and Hizashi didn’t want to see what the kid was able to do while being just more tired than normal. “I-i was there to help Tomu!” Midoriya sounded just so… so happy and over joyed. It made his stomach roll. “A-and… and to help our child !” A bright smile grows on that tired face, eyes squinting from how big it was.

“WHAT.”

Sho finally spoke for the first time with his eyes burning with fury. Midoriya just said their kid, his child, ‘our child’ . He blinks a few times as Shouta takes a step forward practically growling from rage, looking like he wanted nothing more than to…. Let's just say, make Hizashi need to get everyone in this room, an alibi real quick. “Wh-what.” It sounded so innocent, so pure and open but his moonlight looked deadly. This also makes the spider creep, that just upgraded to maybe pedo, take a threatening step forward. No growls or hissing was made but the threat was there. You make a move and I’ll follow it up, it was loud and clear that the creep would make sure to keep them away from Midoriya. “Tomura, no.” His voice was tired but Hizashi could hear the commanding tone one would use while being disappointed in someone. The fact that his kid was trying to command the person that was using his body like a hotel for how long, today is a nightmare and he wants to wale up now.

The spider person backed up, looking upset, but they did move to be a little bit more in front of Midoriya. Look at that, the command actually fucking worked?? A quiet huff, from their kid?, was made and then more green hair got into view again. A glare with no heat aimed at Tomura. “I said no…. Tomu, that also means… no to this too.” A pout…. Honest to GOD, pout, graces Midoriya’s face as the big lug of a maybe man, maybe teen looks dejected. What the fuck. What in the every kami loving fuck is this day? Tomura shuffled back until he was once again side by side with their student and crouched down more. well, crouched as much one with no human legs can get he suppose. Which make him want to hurl, looking at that makes his stomach do flips uuuggghhhh, putting a hand to his mouth is all he can do to help that feeling though.

Midoriya pouts again as he looks to Sho and then back to the intruder, the one that they needed to get into the back of a cop car, fucking pronto. The younger of the two scrunched up his face more as he looked at Shouta longer, he was still tense and ready to leap forward when he had too. “Tomu… sit down.” A deep whine was heard as Midoriya didn’t look away from Sho. “Aizawa… Step back.” Hizashi could hear some stumbling steps behind him, it seemed it knocked Nemuri and Vlad off their sneak game by what their kid said. His eyes zip to Sho’s face, squashed together and contouring as he looked like he wasn’t going to take that step he took back. Another whine from the spider criminal made Midoriya sit up taller. “Step. back.”

His Sho looked conflicted, Hizashi felt that confliction and he truly didn’t know what option would be better. Listen to the little one that was probably manipulated into whatever this probably, most likely, pedo wanted him to think or listen to their common sense and back up knowing Midoriya was and would 100% punch them into the next room, legitimately, to make a damn point. In the end, Shouta took a step back and it seemed that Tomura person sat down in response. “Finally…. Sensei in the back… better stay where Zawa… *huff *and Mic sensei are.” A light touch of a slim hand to his back lets him know how close Nem and Vlad got to them. How long has this been going on, hours, minutes? “Okay!” So light, so happy and cheery. How or why exactly was Midoriya so happy about this situation? “Now, our kid is…. Eri, my baby.”   “Ɇɍī.” The first actual words they hear from Tomura and it’s just a fucking name that sounds like it was put through a cheese grader. Of course it would just be a repeat of a name.

“Yea… Eri, our spitfire.” This got Tomura to loop his arms around Midoriya and pull him into a hug and Hizashi had to hold back his husband so he didn’t throw himself forward to deck the fucker. Their kid relaxed and melted into the hold, looking content and so very pleased. “Tomu was taking care of her…. She’s alive… cause of Tomura.” OK… so not all bad if they where telling the truth? Maybe, as long as he wasn’t grooming the poor girl and actually kept her sa- “Is that why Eri acts so much like you and has the same ‘quirk drawbacks’ as you, Midoriya?” The voice from Shouta caught him off guard, he was actually asked a genuine question. Hizashi would also like to know the damn answer to that as well, how was that keeping Eri alive or was it just the guy making sure she lived the best she could in that situation?.... if them taking care of her had any truth to it at all.

A wobbly but tired energetic nodded was thrown their way as Tomura made sure that Midoriya was leaning/practically laying on them. “She needed….. More food and Tomu had that… that food.” At the mention of food, he started to curl into himself more. The maybe man seemed to be getting worried as their kid whispered something to them. A slight nod made to Tomura made the spider guy give Midoriya some room and th-THEN STARTED TO RIP ONE OF HIS SPIDER LEGS OFF?!?!?!? 

A loud crack could be heard as it finally twisted off fully and then it was put to this kid's mouth. Who started to eat it, can he die now. He needs to die right now. Loud crunching like gun shots were clearly heard though the silent room as Tomura fed this kid one of his spider legs, someone sane please save them. Midoriya looked back up to them while munching on the leg…. It hung out of his mouth while he kept biting down. At this point Hizashi feels as though everyone isn’t moving forward to separate them by the fact of the many many things throwing all of them off so much. That is the sole reason Hizashi was having problems of thinking what the hell to do, to many twists and turns for him to think straight. “So.” Midoriya’s voice was muffled by the…leg in his mouth. “So, Tomu saved Erbear with food and it’s not… the food he’s giving me now.” 

One of his arms wrapped around the larger than normal stomach. “I should make this faster…. To help calm you a-all down.” Hizashi feels his gut roll as their kid practically inhales- He inhale- Oh kami how can Midoriya even manage eating that, how can he crunch through it like that it sounds so tough. The thought of carrots pops into his mind an Hizashi desperately wants that out of the for front of his imagination. He white knuckle grips onto Sho as Nem makes some gagging noises behind them. Maybe an, oh god, from Vlad but he can’t really tell that much as he watches Tomura rub their kids back. “So, I keep him safe. He keeps us safe and happy and fed but.” A pointed glare thrown to the spider person makes them look away and down at the floor trying to avoid those bright green eyes, will they lose that brightness again when the kid realizes what's happened to him. “He, keeps trying to get me to eat things I shouldn’t eat.”

Tomura, who is a boy, so not just masculine build okay they are a he/him. Why is Hizashi trying to be nice like this to this monster, maybe to help keep some of his fleeing sanity. His mama would be proud for thinking about them but Zashi just wants to hate him. They were in, like fused together, in his KID a minor that is sssoooo bad! White spider strand like hair sways around as Tomura moves his head this way and that. A scratchy deep type voice, as if it’s not used much, leaves the spider man. “ɏꝋᵾ ȼⱥꞥ ēⱥⱦ.”

A loud long sigh was made by Midoriya as if he’s been over this before so many times. “Yes Tomu, you can digest it for us but it’s not meat I, personally, should eat.” He sees the little legs on the maybe large older teens face move around and help him make clicking type noises as he leans closer to the green heads face. “Īⱦ’ꞩ ƀēⱦter for theᵯ aꞥđ ɏꝋᵾ. It wꝋᵾłd helꝑ ᵯꝋɍē ⱦħan thosē ꝋⱦher thinꞡꞩ.” Midoriya scrunched up his face as he made a whining type sound, it’s so weird to see all these emotions after so long of it being muted or more dull. “No Tomu, it’s grooossss.”

A light hiss was made by the white haired, maybe spider heteromorph? Maybe a yakuza experiment or a new nomu type, who knows . “It woᵾłđ ᵯⱥҟe them strongēɍ ⱥꞥđ you wꝋᵾłđ ƀē ꞩⱦɍꝋꞥger too.” A hand lightly lays on… Midoriya’s stomach… that’s been getting bigger and he’s been eating more and even with the duller emotions he’s been having mood swings. He squints at the two as they bicker back and forth, Shouta was straining beside him to not go over and do something. Nem was whisper fighting with Vlad, something about needing to wait to do anything because their student was in a bad spot. They couldn’t do anything recklessly or the unknown man could hurt him or even Midoriya hurting them himself. Beside the two bickering, Hizashi thought about Midoriya and what he knew of him, eyes slowly going wider the more he let his mind do a deep dive into the new info they were being given. 

With the lull of everything happening, both with them not knowing what to do with this hostage type situation and the two people that are off in their own world. Hizashi leaned closer to Shouta’s ear so he could whisper as quietly as he could, it was a very very important question. So very fucking important. “Sho.” A grunt was what he got but nothing else, his husband refused to look away from the two. It made something in Hizashi’s gut drop more than it already has, knowing his husband would do anything to make sure no more kids would get hurt or die on his watch. The blood dripping from his arm and onto the ground spoke about how far he would go when injured by the same kid that he want's to so desperately help. “I really need to know…. What is Midoriya’s original gender?”

This made Shouta stop breathing as Hizashi waited with bated breath. This would help him understand if he was over thinking or if his kid… their kid because they have spent so long with all of class 1A to not feel like these are their kids and Midoriya was the more accident prone besides the fac they practically spent 2 weeks with the kid. He was the one that got hurt the most, in the most villain fights or encounters, Midoriya just ends up in trouble without trying. A true problem child down to the very bone, to his very atoms. Hizashi focused as his wonderful husband visibly gulped and slowly shook his head. That was…. Less than a pleasant thought to know right now. “Why?” Was the only thing thrown Hizashi’s way as he looked back over to the two bickering people, one more spider like than the other.

He also gulped as he tried to be as quiet as possible, the whisper fighting behind him let him know that Nedzu was on his way as well. Hopefully with his brains, they can know what better to do in this situation. “Look at his stomach…. Look how Tomura holds it… look how Midoriya is curling into himself to protect his stomach.” Hizashi lets his eyes zip between Sho and their kid, looking for anything in Shouta’s eyes. The revenant's brow creases more than before as he continues to look at their kid who was still bickering with Tomura. “Shouta… we need to know Midoriya’s original gender. Is he biologically male or female.” 

That seemed to finally get his husband to understand what he was saying as his dark gray eyes widened. Also in the moment that Shouta understood what Hizashi was asking and referencing, Nedzu opened the door with a loud Hello. “Am I a dog, mouse or bear? That doesn't matter at the moment though because I am the principal!” He looked over to their tiny boss who pointed to the two curled up together on the floor who looked to be more tense then before and now quiet. A more than normal dark edge was in those beady black eyes as Nedzu’s smile took on a sharper look. “I am here to help both of you and make sure you do not hurt my student.”

"ᵒʰ ᵍʳᵉᵃᵗ." Hizashi feels like he's going to give himself whiplash by how much he is swinging his head around today. The one that spoke quietly was one Midoriya Izuku who looked like he wanted to be anywhere but here at the moment. Zashi can understand that feeling and whole heartedly agree with it to such an impossible degree. The smile on the rodent principle stretches wider at green teens silent comment. "Oh great, indeed Midoriya. Now, how about you tell me, where were you able to find a Drider in this day and age!" A hiss from Tomura started up once again when black beady eyes pinned on where the Drider's? hand was laying. "And telling me how you were able to safely carry for it, is also on my list of many questions as well."

Hizashi just stands by his husband while watching this exchange go down, his brain trying to keep up with the conversation and its implications. "Wait." His voice breaks the hissing and stare down that the principal was doing, at least his kid looked thankful for his interruption. "So, Midoriya is originally a female right?" His pleading eyes slowly drift from Nedzu back to Midoriya. "That's what he means by 'safely carry for it' right? That means you have the right parts for it right?" A deep blush starts to grow and stretch past his kids neck. Tomura looked.... Hizashi thinks the word for that look is pride but he can't know for certain with the different facial structure and everything but... "That's what he means... right ."

With Midoriya curling more into Tomura in embarrassment Hizashi is blown away by how much he doesn't know about this world yet, Drider?, carry for them?, spider people?, are there eugh insect people? That aren't quirked that is. His voice comes out more tiny than before as he still waits for an answer. "ʳᶦᵍʰᵗ?"
