    Summary

    Shouta unclenches his hand. He turns it so that his palm is facing up, and places it on his knee, trying to catch Izuku’s eye.

    Just take it, kid, Shouta thinks, despairing a bit. Please.

    But Izuku won’t meet his gaze, too busy trying to crack his own knuckles into oblivion, his fingers tinged white with the force of it. So, in lieu of a hand reaching back, Shouta just reaches forward and untangles Izuku’s from each other, squeezing once.

    “I’ll stay with you until you fall asleep,” Shouta says. Izuku snaps up to look at him, a protest already halfway to his lips, but Shouta shakes his head, keeps his tone calm and certain. “And I’ll still be here when you wake up. If I am not here, Hizashi will be here. I promise you, Izuku. I won’t leave you alone in the dark.”

    In which Aizawa tries to guide his kids home, Izuku ponders on what hope is not, and Katsuki haunts the narrative.
