Chapter Text
Aizawa was having a relaxing day. He and shinso were sitting on the couch, watching a movie. It is 1am so Hizashi is asleep. It's storming outside and raining heavily. The rain is kinda theraputic though.
They were both drinking coffee. He knows it's late and it won't help either of them sleep. But they both know that they aren't getting anymore sleep.
He hears a knock on the door. Who could be hear at this hour. Don't they know that most people are sleeping.
Shinso and Aizawa look at eachother as Aizawa walks towards the door. He slowly opens it and finds two kids on the other side, completely drenched.
"Excuse me sir. We were wondering if we could stay the night. I know it's very late but we couldn't stay out in the storm much longer." Said the taller one of the two.
"Of course, you can't stay out in a storm like that!" He ushers them in. "Shinso wake up your father and grab some blankets and towels."
Shinso looks over and nods, looking surprised before rushing over to Hizashi's room.
Aizawa shuts the door behind the two boys. They stand in the entryway, shaking until Shinso returns with towels and Hizashi in tow.
The two boys start to dry themselves off. The shorter boy with white hair seems to be struggling so the taller boy helps him.
Aizawa looks the two of them up and down. The shorter boy has white hair that is dripping, and violet eyes. He is wearing something that looks like a uniform. It is navy blue with a greeny coloured neck scarf covering his mouth. Aizawa noticed that his left arm is missing.
The taller boy has brown hair and dark bkue eyes. He is wearing a similar uniform but his is white. Well, it was. Now it looks more like a faded red. The most noticable feature about the boy was a large scar running across his forehead.
The two boys finish up and they lead tjem into the kitchen, where Shinso has made some hot chocolate. They take the mugs.
"Thank you so much for letting us into your home. We are sorry for disturbing your sleep. We thought you were all awake." The taller boy says as the shorter boy dips his head in sorrow.
"No need to thank us. We wouldn't just leave you out on the streets. Can you tell us your names and why you two were on the streets in the first place?" Hizashi asked.
"My name is Yuta Okkotsu and his name is Toge Inumaki. I prefer people calling me Yuta though." He glances over at Inumaki before continuing. "We have been on the streets for 2 months now. I don't really feel confortable sharing the reason though, if that's okay with you."
"No worries. We aren't pressuring you to do anything. I feel like you guys are tired so why don't you go to bed. We have a spare room but it only has a double bed so i hope that works fine. Tomorrow we will take you to the police station." Aizawa says as Yuta shakes his head.
"No. It's fine. We just would like to stay tonight. We don't mean to bother you guys." Yuta says as he inches closer to the other boy.
"No, really. I'm a hero so it's fine to help out when i can." Hizashi says.
The boys look at eachother confused. "What's a hero?"
Now it's Aizawa and Hizashi' turn to exchange glances. They don't know what heroes are? "Heroes are people who dedicate their lives to saving and helping people."
The boys nod at this comment, as if it makes sense to them now. Aizawa doesn't think much more before he leads them to the guest room. Shinso follows after carrying a bundle of his clothes.
"This is so generous of you too. We aren't able to thank you enough." Yuta said again as he bows.
"No problem. Come out to the kitchen in the morning when you want food. Then we will go to the police station."
They bow one last time as they close the door.
Yuta, Inumaki and Aizawa are all sitting in the police station. Aizawa had just drove them there. Detective Tsukuachi was sitting across from them.
Aizawa noticed that Yuta kept fidgeting with a ring on his hand. Is that a wedding ring?
He also noticed that Inumaki still hasn't said a word.
The detective asks them their names. Yuta introduces both if then again.
"Ok what age are the two of you?"
"15." Yuta replies.
"Ok. Look we are trying to help you here. That means both of you have to talk."
Aizawa watches as Inumaki turns towards Yuta with fear in his eyes.
Yuta nods and turns back to the detective. "No can do sir. Every word Inumaki says is cursed and whoever it's directed to has to do it."
The detective and Aizawa exchanged looks. That must be hard for the kid.
"Ok. Fine. We will start questioning you on your own instead. I just want to remind you that you aren't in trouble. We just want to help."
Yuta and Inumaki nod in agreement and the questioning begins.
"Why were you two out on the streets?" Tje detective asks.
"It is too dangerous to go home. We are doing fine out there though." Aizawa looks down to see the detecive tap his left foot. Left foot meant the truth and right foot meant a lie.
"Why is dangerous?"
"We were being targeted."
"By villans?"
"Yep!"
"What about parents?"
Yuta looks at Inumaki, who shrugs.
"So let me get this straight. You are living on the streets because you two are being targeted and have no guardian?"
"Yep!"
Why is Yuta not bothered by this? Aizawa speaks up. "Why don't they come back with me. I can take care of them."
The detective looked relieved. "Thank god. I didn't want to ask but you are the best option."
The two boys looked at him a bit more nervously.
They were let go in the end and reluctantly followed Aizawa to his car.
"We are home!" Aizawa says. The two boys stand awkwardly at the door as they watch shinso and Hizashi bound over eagerly.
"Are they staying?!" Shinso asked. He sounds so excited. Aizawa remembers when he first moved in with them. He was so nervous. Too scared to touch or do anything. The two boys remind him of Shinso. Hopefully they learn to open up some bit.
"Yes they are. So get ready because they need stuff." Hizashi actually sqealed at this. Why did i marry such a happy person?
They arrived at the mall. The car ride was a bit awkward. Aizawa drove and Hizashi sat up front, leaving the 3 boys in the back. Yuta sat in the middle as if to protect Inumaki from Shinso. Shinso spent a couple minutes trying to start a conversation but eventually gave up and stared out of the window.
They walked around the shops. The two boys seemed hesitant to look closely at anything.
They stopped in a couple clothing shops where it ended up mainly Aizawa and Hizashi picking clothes for them. Yuta explained that they never really picked their own clothes which did not reassure Aizawa.
They were still having problems getting them to want anything. They eventually passed a toy shop which drew Inumaki's attention, much to everyone's surprise.
Inumaki started poking Yuta on the arm. "Tuna. Tuna!"
Why is he saying that? And i thought he couldn't talk.
Yuta followed Inumaki's gaze. "Aizawa. Do you think we can get that panda plushie?"
Aizawa had never been more thankful to be spending his money. "Yes. Go. We'll follow. Pick which one you want."
They walked out a couple minutes later with a large panda plush in Inumaki's hand and smiles on there faces.
Money well spent!
