Can I be happy?

Chapter 37

It didn't take long for Izuku to find Aizawa's room since it was right next to where Izuku had woken up, he walked in quietly and crawled up the bed sitting next to Aizawa's head, Izuku had never woken someone up before so he wasn't sure what to do.

He decided on calling the man and tapping his cheek "dad? Wake up" he said poking the mans cheek, Aizawa grunted and tried to flick away the hand poking him but it didn't work, when he heard a familiar giggle his eyes opened.

He saw Izuku poking him with a smile on his face, Aizawa chuckled and held Izuku's wrist to stop him, Izuku smiled and started trying to pull Aizawa off the bed "papa made food" Izuku signed smiling when Aizawa finally sat up.

Aizawa yawned and reluctantly stood up, he held his hand out for Izuku who immediately linked their hands, the two walked back down to the kitchen where Yamada had just finished setting the table.

Aizawa walked over to the kettle and began making himself a coffee while Izuku sat next to Hitoshi, the boy smiled and hugged Izuku while Yamada handed out the plates of food, once the family were all sitting at the table eating Hitoshi spoke.

"Do we have any plans for today? I wanted to go to the petting zoo" Yamada gasped and nodded his head "That's a great idea, does anyone else want to go too?" Yamada asked looking between Aizawa and Izuku.

Aizawa frowned and shook his head, he likes cats but he definitely didn't want to pet dirty animals, Izuku laughed at the look of disgust on his dads face and then also shook his head "ill stay with dad, is there anything you planned to do?" Izuku sighed looking at Aizawa with his head tilted to the side.

Aizawa swallowed what was left in his mouth before answering "I was going to sit on the porch and read" he mumbled, hearing this Izuku became even more exited, he hadn't visited the library for a while and he missed reading.

"What kind of books do you read dad?" Izuku asked in excitement, Yamada smiled at his son remembering how they first met, Izuku was so shy back then but he has gotten much better now.

Aizawa shrugged his shoulders and answered "anything i guess" he muttered not noticing Izuku's disappointment, Yamada chuckled and leaned closer to Izuku "he loves to read romance novels" he whispered.

since Yamada was naturally loud everyone at the table heard him, Izuku lit up and practically vibrated in his seat, Hitoshi couldn't help the loud laughter that escaped his lips, Aizawa had a blush on his face while he gave his husband a hard glare.

Yamada had his hands up in a surrendering gesture, the family then went back to eating with Hitoshi teasing his dad a little, they soon finished and Izuku volunteered to wash the dishes.

He had to do it for Hisashi all the time but this time he wanted to do it to make his papa less work, Yamada and Hitoshi got ready to leave while Aizawa sat on the couch with his eyes closed "Alright, Hito and i will be home later.

Make sure to eat if we're not back before lunch. Come give me kisses baby" Izuku skipped over to his dad and pressed kisses to the mans cheeks, Yamada accepted with a bright smile on his face.

After Izuku had gave him his kisses he moved over to Hitoshi, Izuku hugged his brother and smiled when Hitoshi kissed his head "Have fun" Izuku said softly, Hitoshi's eyes widened slightly but he shook it off, they said their goodbyes and soon enough Izuku was left alone with his dad.

Izuku looked at the man and smiled "can you read to me please?" He asked, Aizawa looked at Izuku surprised he had spoken out loud, he stood up and searched his suitcase for his book, when he found it he stood back up and motioned for Izuku to follow him.

Izuku followed Aizawa outside, Aizawa sat himself on the swinging chair, Izuku sat next to him and hesitated to cuddle up to the man, Izuku knew the man had let him hug him and cuddle him a lot, even though Aizawa is not necessarily comfortable with it.

Izuku didn't know whether the man would get annoyed if he always did it, Aizawa answered for him when he opened one of his arms, Izuku smiled and snuggled up to the mans side laying his head on his chest, Aizawa wrapped his arms around Izuku rubbing his arm soothingly.

"I'll start from the beginning so you understand" Aizawa said, Izuku nodded his head and watched Aizawa open the book, Aizawa soon began reading out loud while Izuku's eyes followed the lines on the page.

Most people might find Aizawa's monotone voice annoying but Izuku liked it, even if he showed no emotion in his tone he was soft spoken, Izuku enjoyed listening to the man speak.

The story was interesting, it was written with two male leads so Izuku was happy to listen, what he found most intriguing about the story was that it was written in the pre-quirk era, he likes listening to how the world was like before the quirks.

The main character in the story also reminded Izuku of Bakugou, he was hot headed but sweet to the boy he loved, when they finished the book Aizawa closed it and looked down at Izuku "so? How did you like it?" He asked with a raised brow.

Izuku pouted up at Aizawa and raised his hands "I can't believe they broke up, and all because of a misunderstanding. If they talked about it they could have stayed together, is that really the end?" He asked looking distraught.

Aizawa chuckled and shook his head in amusement, he had thought the same thing when he first read the book, he read through sixty chapters just to have them break up at the end.

"Actually no" he said causing Izuku to shoot up and look at him with a hopeful expression, he chuckled and rolled his eyes "there are five more after this one" he stated, Izuku gasped looking at Aizawa in shock.

"Really?" He squealed in excitement, Aizawa jumped at the sudden sound but soon composed him self and gave Izuku a smile "Mmm i have the second and third in my bag, we can read them together if you want. Ive only read up to the third" he stated waiting for Izuku's response.

Izuku grinned and nodded his head "Yes please" Izuku said desperately wanting to know how the love story ends, Aizawa laughed and pulled Izuku back into his arms, Izuku snuggled closer to his dad.

"Ok but we can read the next one tomorrow, we will get bored if we read them too fast" he said as Izuku nodded along, the two watched the waves in the ocean as they crashed together, It was peaceful and the fact nobody was around to ruin the view was great.

Aizawa was glad he and Yamada decided to own not only the house but the area surrounding it too, he knew Yamada didn't mind other people but he would rather live in peace, especially now since he would never feel comfortable hugging Izuku on the chair if others were around.

Izuku heard soft snoring and looked up at his dad, he smiled when he saw him fast asleep, Yamada always told Izuku the man needed to get more sleep, that's why Izuku didn't wake him, he let him sleep but soon realized the time,

They should definitely make sure to eat, Izuku looked at Aizawa and hesitated "dad?" He called, when he didn't get a response he sighed "I am holding two plates of food" Izuku stated.

In a second his hands were holding onto two plates, he smiled and woke up his dad so they could eat together while looking out at the beach, they had almost finished eating when Yamada and Hitoshi came back.

Yamada had cooed when he saw Izuku and Aizawa together, Izuku didn't mind the attention, he loved getting affection from his parents, the family spent the rest of the day together, they spent time on the beach.

Izuku and Hitoshi buried Aizawa in the sand when he dozed off, Yamada snapped pictures, the family were having the most amazing time together and it couldn't have gone better.
