For the past 15 years, Izuku has dealt with a lot, especially in his home life. But that all changed when UA created a Dormitory for all students and staff to stay on UA campus grounds. Izuku's mother obliged gladly to letting her son live at the dorms, she would do anything to get her 'useless' she liked to call her son out of her life. How can any mother say those things about their child?
Reflecting on his past, Izuku for so long thought what his parents did to him was out of love. He never once heard his parents say they loved him, but for some reason, he found a way to tell his parents abusers growing up that he loved them despite the hell they put him through. He never understood what they were doing to him or what he did to deserve this. As he grew up and matured he realized that he was a victim of abuse but he was too afraid to report it.
Everything changed when he got accepted to UA, he gained friends and parental figures along the way. Now staying at UA's Student Dormitory has changed Izuku's life for the better. No more hiding food, no more dealing with a neglectful toxic mother, and no father that beats you to a pulp. Izuku could breathe without getting strapped with a belt to his back or meeting the end of his father’s fist. Being with his friends and teachers that care about his well-being, Izuku found the meaning of love.
Love is beautiful Isn't it? Having one or a group of people caring about you? It feels amazing. This love was something that Izuku was never going to take for granted or let anyone ruin. On November 6th 20xx, Izuku got a text from an unknown number saying 'We need to have a little talk, son'. Izuku took one glance at the text and felt shivers down his spine, Hisashi Midoriya was back? Why? He left when Izuku was 9 years old, so why come home at all?
Izuku was cuddling his Present Mic plushie close to him as thoughts started to flood his mind. Hisashi Midoriya was back, he wanted to see Izuku. All He could do now was cry silently as the painful memories started to play in his head. He was too afraid to say 'No' to his Father so he inclined to it. This afternoon he was going home but was it ever really a home?
Izuku got off his bed and grabbed his phone then he headed out of the building. He wore simple dark-colored sweats and he left the dorms. He texted Mr.Aizawa that he was going to see his family tonight which Shouta gave him the okay.
Izuku rode three trains to get to his neighborhood and he looked up at his old house. So many things went down in that house growing up. He stopped in front of the door, his hand twitched reaching to knock on the door. Hisashi opened the door after hearing the knock. Izuku's father gestured to him inside, Izuku walked inside and took his shoes off.
"Izuku, my son! It's good to see you!" Hisashi says with a wicked smile on his face, "I missed you so much kid" Hisashi says.
"U-uh h-hi...m-missed you-u to.. haven't-seen you in awhile.." Izuku replies nervously as he backs up a few steps.
"Being in the military has been pretty busy," Hisashi says as he sat at the table with Inko.
"Take a seat you brat, don't be disrespectful. Your father came all this way home for some family bonding time!" Inko shot a glare at Izuku.
Izuku gulps as he sits down, family bonding time? Is the keyword for something else...Izuku thought. "F-family bonding t-time?" Izuku asks as he grips his pants underneath the table.
"Yes of course you know, ever since your mom said you got accepted into UA and moved into their dormitory. It had my mind... boggled for quite some time, you know Izuku," Hisashi clenched his hands.
"Especially knowing that you're around Heroes..." Hisashi says, his face changing with his tone of voice.
Hisashi stood up, he walked over to Izuku's side of the table. He picks him up by the collar of his shirt. He pins the helpless boy against the wall, a few inches off the ground.
"What the fuck did you tell them!" Hisashi roars angerily.
"N-n-nothing-"
"Liar! I know you told them something!" Hisashi yells as smoking coming out of his mouth.
"I-I-I didn't I s-swear!" Izuku struggles trying to get out of his father's grip.
Hisashi throws him to the ground, Inko watches with a smirk. Hisashi drags Izuku by his hair to the basement, and throws him against the wall. The basement was soundproof, Hisashi created it so no one could ever hear Izuku's screams for help.
"Get up" Hisashi orders as Inko comes inside with something in her hand.
Inko locks the door as she enters and goes over to Izuku. She rolls up Izuku's right arm sleeve and pokes the syringe into Izuku's skin. Izuku screams out in agony as he feels the needle insert him. Inko finishes up and stands by her husband. Hisashi went over to his son and kicked him right in the gut.
"Playing hero nowadays huh son... someone gave you a quirk because you knew that no one was ever going to accept a quirkless pathetic useless child like you" Hisashi kicks him again.
Hisashi was going to kick Izuku again but Izuku caught his leg, and he slowly stood up. Izuku felt unsteady as he rose from the ground. He looked at his father abuser with hatred in his eyes, both adults were taken aback but Hisashi kept his composure.
"I am not pathetic or useless anymore but both of you are-" Izuku growls at them.
Hisashi punched him in the face knocking Izuku back down to the ground. Hisashi continued his beating on Izuku, and it lasted about 40 minutes. Both adults left the room as Izuku lay on the cold floor helplessly in the dark room.
…
Meanwhile at Shouta and Hizashi's residence. Hizashi was busy making dinner as Shouta sat at the table grading students' essays. "Hey babe, is Izuku coming over tonight?" Hizashi asked.
"He said he was staying at his family's place tonight, he'll be back tomorrow" Shouta replies.
"Aww that's good for him to see his family again, but I'm going to miss my cuddle buddy" Hizashi pouts.
Shouta looks up at his husband and rolls his eyes. "You're so dramatic, you'll get to see him tomorrow at school" Shouta chuckles.
"True- oh! Should I make him katsudon for lunch tomorrow? He loves my katsudon and I haven't made it in a while" Hizashi says.
"I think he'll enjoy it, babe, can you also make me lunch for tomorrow pleaseee I love you" Shouta smiles.
"You know I never let you starve, no matter how many times I have to pry those jelly pouches out of your hands to make sure you eat actual food" Hizashi laughs.
"Hey bunny, dinner is rea-"
"He's not home, Shou remember," Hizashi says.
"I just realized that- he's probably having fun with his family," Shouta says.
...
November 7th.
Izuku hadn't shown up for homeroom, now this didn't sit well with Shouta. He asked if anyone had seen Izuku this morning but everyone said they hadn't seen him since yesterday. Shouta decided to call Izuku's house during lunchtime.
"Hello?" Hisashi answers Inko’s phone.
"Who is this I'm speaking with?" Shouta asks.
"Hisashi Midoriya, Izuku's father, and you are?" Hisashi replies.
"I'm Midoriya Izuku's homeroom teacher, Eraserhead. I'm calling because Izuku hasn't shown up today at school and I wanted to make sure he's alright. Everything is okay, right?" Shouta asks as Hizashi rubs Shouta's back for comfort.
"Yes he's alright, he's just asleep right now. We had so much fun last night that he overslept. I'm sorry, but I'll tell him that you guys called when he wakes up. Thank you for your concern," Hisashi says.
"Yeah no problem, he will be in school tomorrow, right? Sorry, I'm just worried about my kid- I meant my student. Y'know I don't want him to fall behind in his classes" Shouta says a bit awkwardly.
"Yes, Izuku will be in classes tomorrow. Thank you bye now" Hisashi hangs up the phone.
Shouta looks at Hizashi, "he'll be here tomorrow" Shouta says.
"Yeah you know he won't miss your birthday so the panic was for nothing shou, our green bean is fine" Hizashi smiles.
Shouta nods his head slowly, "Yeah yeah I was just worried about nothing."
...
Hisashi walks down to the basement, "your homeroom teacher called... he said he was concerned, this never happened with your other teachers" Hisashi says as walks over to the boy.
Hisashi grabs Izuku by the chin, "What's your relationship with this teacher Izuku, he called you his kid! So fucking answer me you piece of shit!"
"N-none of your business" Izuku coughs as he looks at Hisashi's eyes.
"You're my kid! Not his! To hell with him!" Hisashi released Izuku and he looked at Izuku.
Izuku was pale as a ghost, bruised, and swollen even dirty. All Izuku wanted was to be with his dads teachers and friends at school. But he was trapped in the basement by his captors.
Hisashi kicks Izuku repeatedly, "You fucking piece of shit! I hate you! You pathetic worthless bitch!" He screams.
"Stop! Please! Let me go! Stop!" Izuku screams in pain.
Hisashi was finally done with his psychotic break. Izuku coughs up blood, as he tries to calm himself. Hisashi forced Izuku up on his feet and punched him. The so-called 'father' left the basement, locking the door.
"Shouta...Zashi... p-please save me.." Izuku's shut close.
...
November 8th, Izuku hadn't shown up again. Class 1-A threw Shouta a surprise party in the common room. Shouta was touched that his students did all this for him, but he won't ever admit it. He sat on the couch, he appreciated the work and effort that went into this by his students and friends but he couldn't enjoy himself.
Something was wrong with Izuku, he felt it in his heart. He gets up and grabs Hizashi, dragging him. "We'll be back, we have to go check on something," Shouta says.
Both men were out in the parking lot, "Get in and drive to this location, I sent it to your phone. We're going to see our boy.." Shouta gets into the passenger seat.
Hizashi got into the driver's seat, he found the address on his phone. "I feel it too babe, this situation isn't sitting well with me either," Hizashi says.
"Something is fucking wrong. Hizashi I think Izuku's in danger," Shouta tries his best not to get emotional.
Hizashi nods and drives to address, leading them to Izuku's house. Both of them exited the car and went up to the front door. Shouta knocks on the door, and Inko answers the door.
"Hi, who are you, folks?" Inko says.
"We're Izuku's teachers," Shouta says.
"We like to speak to Izuku if you kindly let us through," Hizashi says.
"Oh Izuku and his father just left 5 minutes ago, sorry you have to come back another time," Inko says as he closes the door.
Hizashi caught the door before it shuts, "Izuku's red shoes are still here, we all know that he wouldn't wear any other shoes besides those."
Shouta and Hizashi made their way inside the house, "where is Izuku? Tell us now" Shouta growls at the small cowardly woman.
"You can't just barge in here without a warrant or arrest-"
"I guess we can't but it's the law that Izuku must attend school and he hasn't been to school in two days now. That's kind of suspicious given that he has one of the most perfect attendance amongst students at UA," Hizashi says.
Shouta looks around the place as he walks around, he sees blood on the floor by the kitchen table. "Zashi blood!" He activates his quirk.
"I'll stay with her and you'll find our boy," Hizashi says as he cuffs Inko with quirk suppressors handcuffs.
Shouta walks around the house and finds a basement with a lock, he broke it with one of his gadgets. He went down the steps, he saw his boy laying on the floor crying with a man with a knife towering over him. Hisashi's back was facing the steps, Shouta slowly made his way over.
Izuku thought he was going to die, till he saw Shouta with his pointer finger to his lips. Izuku gulped and looks at Hisashi, he saw the wicked smile on the man's face.
"I'm going to enjoy my time killing you-"
"Like hell, I'm gonna let you kill my son" Shouta yells as he wraps the capture weapon around him, knocking him out in the process.
Shouta pins Hisashi to the ground, he uses the quirk suppressant to cuff him. Shouta tosses the knife away where Hisashi couldn't reach it. Izuku sat up slowly, Shouta rushed over to Izuku.
"Hey hey, easy now Izu.." Shouta says as he cups his face.
"I-It was so s-scary... I w-was so s-scared" Izuku sobs.
"Shhh shhh it's over now, they'll be going away for a long time, okay?" Shouta wipes the boy's tears.
The police were here, Hizashi rushed down to the basement as Police handled Inko. Hizashi ran over to Izuku and Shou. Zashi held Izuku close, he ran his finger through his son's hair.
"You're safe now baby... we're here. We came to rescue you.." Hizashi says as he tears up seeing Izuku like this, he was heartbroken and in shock.
"I-I didn't think...y-you..y-you guys would come..." Izuku says as more tears fell down his face.
"Of course, we came. Izuku, we love you... you're our kid and you're part of this family.." Shouta wipes Izuku's tears from his face.
"We're a family?" Izuku whispers.
"Of course we are and we will always be," Hizashi says as tears fell from his face.
Izuku embraces them in a hug, as they all cry together. Detective Tsukauchi and an officer came down to the basement, the officer collected Hisashi and left. Tsukauchi waited till the family of three was done having their moment before interrupting.
"There's an ambulance waiting outside, he should get checked out first. Also, I take it that you two want to adopt the kid?" Tsukauchi asks.
"Izuku would... ummm would you want us to adopt you officially?" Shouta says awkwardly, he wasn't used to this sentimental gesture.
"You mean it? You want me to be your son?" Izuku asks.
"Well... we already call you our son even Shou brags about how amazing you are to everyone," Hizashi smiles.
Shouta gives the side eye and Izuku laughs softly. Izuku nodded happily, agreeing to let them adopt him. Shouta carries Izuku upstairs and outside to the ambulance. They both decided to ride in the ambulance by Izuku's side while Tsukauchi took care of Hizashi's car.
"Can I call you guys dads?" Izuku asks as the Emt's hooks him on a IV.
Shouta shared a look with Hizashi, they both were flattered. "Yeah, of course you can bunny," Hizashi smiles.
"Papa that nickname stays inside the house" Izuku pouts as Hizashi 'Awe' at the title given to him.
"He's mean ain't he" Shouta chuckles.
"Heyyy am not" Hizashi huffs dramatically.
"Dad?" Izuku says as he looks at Shouta.
"Y-yeah precious?" Shouta smiles.
"Sorry for ruining your birthday..." Izuku frowns.
"Hey none of that now, today was the best birthday ever. Want to know why? Because I gained a soon-to-be official son.." Shouta squeezes Izuku's hand gently.
"What's it like to have a real family? If so, I love this family" Izuku smiles.
"We love you bunny" Shouta and Hizashi say together.
"I love you Dad and Papa so much" Izuku smiles.
The End.
