Izuku had a seriously rough day. A rough week too. This week's work had been more gory and traumatizing than glorifying. He loved saving people, but the things he had tackled this week were horrible. Kidnapping situations. Seeing children completely destroyed and traumatized. So many casualties. So many lives taken. His mother had been hospitalized recently as a result of an illness as well. He was stressed beyond belief. He needed a break.

He woke up today with a huge headache and it stuck around all day. When he came home for dinner, he found a pleasant surprise. Todoroki, who had the day off today, had made katsudon. His favorite.

Yet it didn't look appetizing. He really just wanted to fall asleep on the couch and forget about everything that had happened recently.

He sat down at the dinner table with Todoroki. Picking at his dinner. Shoto seemed to notice.

"Hey? You okay?" He asked.

Izuku nodded, "yeah. It's just been a rough day."

Todoroki rubbed his back, "try and eat something, it'll make you feel better."

Izuku nodded, he felt sick to his stomach, but assumed it was just the headache and low blood sugar. If he ate something he'd feel better.

He stuffed a bite in his mouth, chewed, and forced it down, immediately regretting it.

He felt his stomach crawl up his throat and gagged. He ran to the kitchen sink, not making it quite in time, and vomited. It was a mess. About half the mess ended up in the sink. The other half ended up on him, the floor, and down the front of the counter. He hurled again, his headache ceasing a little bit once he finished.

Todoroki was next to him, "you're okay it's okay." He said, massaging Izuku's shoulder with one hand holding his hair back with the other as the boy stood over the sink, breathing heavily.

"I knew that was gonna happen at some point." Izuku said after a while, "I feel better now." He said, standing up straight.

"Was it just because of your headache or..?" Todoroki asked.

"I think it was that and stress. I havnt been doing great... Lately" Izuku said. Todoroki pulled the man into a hug.

"I get it. Why don't you call in and take the rest of the day off?" Shoto asked.

That's when Midoriya finally broke down, "I can't that's the issue- they need me but I'm not doing good enough. I'm not-" he sobbed. Tears were streaming down his face.

Todoroki picked his sobbing husband up and carried him to the couch, leaving the mess in the kitchen temporarily uncleaned.

Shoto covered him in kisses until he calmed down. He knew it was Izuku's favorite thing, it never failed to make him laugh.

"Look. I'm gonna call your agency, they can let you have at least tonight off. There's good people there. Japan can hold off without the number one here for one night." Todoroki said.

"But-" Izuku started. Todoroki shushed him, "no buts. Even the number one hero isn't invincible. You are allowed to take a break."

Izuku just groaned as Todoroki stood up and dialled the number. By the time he was off the call and everything was settled, Izuku was laying on the couch, fast asleep.
