Chapter Text
Izuku wanted to be many things as a child
A hero
A kid his mom could be proud of
He was born quirkless, his red shoes specifically made for him were evident
He could never be a hero
And his mother changed for that, for the worst
Any chance he tried to become a good child inko would insult him, ‘forget’ to feed him, neglect him
He stooped going to school and it's not as if anybody cared
He was just 6, six
A child, he was supposed to be a child before an omega, before quirkless
But nobody thinks like that
At 6 he was thinking about things no child his age would ever think about
Killing himself
He was starving, cold as his mother didn't bother getting him any clothes anymore, and tired. He wanted to write her a note but he didn't even know how, he never learned to write and depended on drawings when thinking about hero analysis
He puffed his cheeks as he walked up the stairs of a random building, nobody would think twice about a small child going upstairs thinking one of his parents lived here
He took a small sandwich he stole from his mother, he's never done it before but if it was going to be his last meal..a soft hum left his lips as he ate the thing hungrily, not giving him a chance to flavor the taste of ham
The smoke left his mouth as it was probably below zero and all he was wearing was tons of thin clothes added together
He scribbled a bit more, ignoring the fact he couldn't feel his fingers, and then the sun came down
It was time
He signed the last papers with his name, that being the only thing he remembers he knew how to write, and walked towards the railing and tried to go over it, struggling as he wasn't athletic enough to–
“Kid?”
Izuku turns his head back, red eyes staring at him
“I've been watching you for a while” he says as he takes a step closer and izuku holds onto the railing more
A /hero/
A hero was here with him..!
He could see a hero before he dies
“Hey, what made you go into a trance huh? Did I Scare you?”
Izuku gasps before shaking his head, his wide eyes basically shined when the alpha knelt to be closer to his eye level
“E-eraser..he-head!” izuku giggled as he jumped up and down
“Oh? A fan?”
“M-mhm!”
The alpha ruffled his hair
“What are you doing up here huh? It's freezing”
Izukus mood changes as he turns around to face the fence
“Jump”
“..jump? Why do you want to–”
Izuku huffed as he tried to climb again, when he reached the railings strong hands wrapped around his waist and picked him up
“Kid–you may have a flying quirk but you are /not/ jumping off from this height”
“No..! I dont..no quirk”
“No quirk..? How old are you?”
Izuku pulls out 4 fingers
“Six”
“You're six and you don't..quirkless..small..” Even without all the facts, the underground hero was piecing everything together
“You're quirkless..” He repeats and izuku sniffles before attempting to escape Aizawa's grasp, the man was big enough that he didn't need to climb the railing anymore and if he struggled he could fall to the other side
“Hey! No! I know you're sad but we are NOT going to do that! Okay?”
Izuku shook his head, still struggling, crying harder when Aizawa stepped back in case the pup slipped out like soap
“Mom no want me! No-nobody..” he hiccups, the cold was stopping him from releasing pheromones
But even without those pheromones that would make a grown alpha and omega say ‘hey, me small, need help’ something in Aizawa screamed he needs to protect this child
The poor child was covered in bruises, looked underweight, didn't know how to count, and struggled with speaking at 6
He was being abused for being quirkless
Just thinking about it made his alpha want to get angry
But pup first
“How about..we stay in my house for a bit hm? Hot chocolate?”
“I has to jump! Quir-quirkless!”
“I'm not going to let you an inch near that railing, as a hero and as..” he coughs
“As a hero, I'm not going to let you put your life at risk, you hear me?” he asks as he starts walking down the stairs, not wanting to risk jumping from roof to roof with a child that will find any chance to get rid of his life
A six-year-old
Wanting to kill himself
Just how fucked up people have become?
“Eraaaser head” izuku whined
“Yes, yes” He mumbles as he takes out his phone with his free hand and calls hizashi
“Sho?! Is everything alright?! You never call this early into your patrol–”
“Please prepare the guest bed–ouch! Don't pull on my hair!! Ack–”
Izuku slipped out from his hands and ran away from him, without even trying the hero wrapped his scarf around izuku and picked the boy up
“Please don't tell me you kidnapped a child, that's illegal!”Aizawa rolls his eyes as now the child had no chance of escaping
“Of course not, I adopted one”
“...”
Aizawa removes the phone from his ear
One..two...
“HUH?! WHAT–WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? –”
The dark hair hangs up and turns his phone off
It would be easier to show than to tell
He looked down at the child hissing and huffing but his eyelids seemed to have been weighing too much for him
The scarf is making him warm and holding him tight comfortingly and because they are inside the building as opposed to the negative numbers from outside the pup could smell the calm pheromones he was giving izuku
He and hizashi are in their mid 30’s but never had any intention of having actual kids for themselves, they have been in the hero industry for far too long to know some kids need a house so they've been looking to adopt
The young omega let out a small yawn and snuggled closer into Aizawa's shoulder, putting his nose near the alphas scent gland
Who knows how long it's been for the child to have felt this safe?
His alpha already seemed to have started to implant himself as the pup's parental alpha but he had to stop that
Who knows if things go south and–
He coughs to hide a small growl that was about to come out
/alright/ no hypothetical outcomes
“..katsudon” izuku mumbles and his smile becomes wider
Hizashi was going to love this pup and it didn't matter if he was behind kids his age
They were both teachers that taught at the top school in all of japan
Or..or it didn't matter if he never reached the same level as the others
He would still be proud
“I still have to ask him his name when he wakes up..” He mumbles
