Just a dysfunctional Family

Aizawa's POV

I was sitting in the living room waiting for the food I ordered to come when Izuku came out of his room. I turned my head to look at him. He didn't look like his usual happy self. He looked sad, disappointed, maybe even angry. 

He walked up to the couch and attempted to climb onto it. I ended up having to help him. Once he was settled he looked up at me with sad eyes. 

"Did you hurt Toga?" He asked. This surprised me. Since I've met Izuku, he hasn't said a single word. Yet, here he was, speaking simple sentences. I was also surprised by the question itself. I always try to keep him away from things like the news, so he would have no way of knowing about Toga's death. So why was he asking this?

After a moment of thinking, I answer, "No, Izu." Sure, I was involved in the incident, but I wasn't the one who killed Toga. 

Izuku perked up like a little puppy with a smile on his face. "Does that means she's alive?" Again, I was surprised. Just a day after Toga was killed, her body disappeared. It was weird, but no one thought much of it. Besides, the doctor said she was dead. He said she died the night she was at the hospital. 

"No, Izu," I responded. The smile on his face vanished and was replaced by a saddened look. Tears began to form in his eyes and trickle down his cheeks. Soon he began to sob.

I pulled Izuku onto my lap and began to comfort him. I ran my hand through his curls as he sobbed into my chest. We sat like this until the sobs became nothing but sniffles.

Eventually, the food arrived and we both ate silently.

Izuku wanted to go to bed almost right after we ate, so I took him to his room and tucked him into bed.

Once I left the room and closed the door, I could hear Izuku quietly whimpering to himself about Toga and the other villains. 

I found it hard to understand why Izuku cared so much about the LOV. I mean, they were villains for crying out loud! But, then again, if my friends or family were a bunch of villains I would care about them regardless. I would probably be a villain with them! The LOV was his only family, too. Or, at least the only family who cared about him. 

I thought about going into his room to comfort him, but once I decided to go into his room, he was asleep.

I sighed and left the room. 

I went to my desk to grade some papers, but I ended up getting nothing done. I just couldn't concentrate. So, I sat there doing nothing but staring at the papers until I eventually fell asleep at my desk.

Hello, my ghost mice! Sorry if this chapter is bad. I wrote it when I was sick. I wanted to thank you guys for how well this book is doing. I didn't think this book would get over 100 reads, but now it's almost at 28k! I know it's a bit corny but seriously, y'all are amazing. I also wanted to apologize for the long waits between chapters. I've been trying to do better with posting more frequently, but I'm terrible at things like posting schedules. So thanks for being patient with me and I'll (hopefully) get you a chapter in a couple of weeks. Bye, bye!
