When Will You Realize, We're Here For You? (Depressed, Suicidal Izuku)

4. Tears of Good Pain

... Beep...Beep...Beep... Beep...

Toshinori was sitting on the floor beside Izuku's hospital bed, sleeping. Hizashi and Aizawa sat on two chairs pushed up against eachother, holding one another, sleeping peacefully. Nezu sat in his office, stressed as ever, trying to find something to do with the boy. He was a suicidal, depressed, abused orphan, and had no where to go.

"Remember when mom used to be so kind? Remember when she was the one to defend me from dad? Remember when she barely hit me? Until that day, when she found out I was quirkless. When she found out that I was nothing. Useless. Stupid. Weak. Waste. A deku. That's when she stopped pretending she cared."

Izuku sprang up into a sitting position. He was breathing fast and heavy uneven breaths. Izuku clutched his chest, trying to breathe normally. His eyes filled with tears and he began to get light-headed. The beeping of his heart monitor suddenly got very fast, but izuku could barely hear it. Everything was distant.

.....

Aizawa mumbled in his sleep and turned his head. He was a light sleeper and his body couldn't ignore the sudden small noises. As Aizawas brain started to wake up, he remembered where he was. Noises? Aizawa flashed his eyes open when he heard the heart monitor start racing. He stood up, not caring that his husband's balance would fail and he would fall.

Aizawa watched as Izuku sat up suddenly and started breathing fast. Aizawa immediately recognized this as a PTSD attack.

He ran to the boys bed and tried to calm the boy down.

Hizashi woke up when he fell out of his chair due to his husband standing up. He was about to complain, but when he realized why, he stood up too and ran to his husband and Izuku.

Toshinori all this time was leaning against Izuku's bed. So he woke up when he felt someone trip over him. Toshinori heard the heart monitor and sprang up from beside the bed, tripping both of the other men standing there. Well, he was literally underneath them, and stood up. Toshinori automatically went to comfort his boy.

After about ten minutes they were all able to calm him down.

"Izu, Izuku. Are you alright?" All Might asked. Izuku gave a shaky nod.

"Hey, look at me. You're not going back. You're safe now." Toshinori said. His voice was filled with love and care. He wiped away Izuku's tears and embraced him in a hug.

"Little listener, I know you said.... Not to.... But we had to arrest her. She could have killed you. Even though she didn't, if we didn't have that camera on you, you would've died due to suicide. Right now Nezu is trying his best to find a place where you can live." Hizashi said. Izuku and All Might broke apart. Izuku looked into Hizashis eyes. He was terrified. He was going to a random persons house....

"I- I- I don't w-want-t to go t-to an o-orphanag-ge or f-foster c-care. I- I don't w-wanna g-go to a st-strangers house a-and live w-with them." Izuku said.

The three heros exchanged glances.

"He is not sending you to an orphanage. He is trying to find someone to take you in that he trusts. Like a hero or a friend." Aizawa said.

Just then Aizawas phone started ringing. He looked at the number and then picked it up and answered.

"Oh. Sure." Was all he said before he moved the phone away from his ear. "He wants to talk to all of us, adults. Izuku... Are you okay if we step out for a moment?"

Izuku nodded and laid back down. The three heros left the room.

When the three heros were in the hallway aizawa turned his phone on speaker.

"Okay, we are ready now Nezu." He said.

"After a while of searching for people that were willing to take a child like Izuku in, most of them declined politly. But I realized I have three heros that have been nothing but caring and loving towards the boy. Toshinori, Shota and Hizashi, are either of you willing to take in this boy?"

The three men took a moment to respond. Hizashi and Aizawa exchanged looks.

"Yes. Hizashi and I would love to take him in. I believe it is best for us to take him other than Toshinori, because there is two of us and we have a bigger house. Toshinori, would you agree?" Aizawa said. His voice was not monotone. It was full of joy.

"Absolutely. I don't think I'm fit for taking in him right now. There are many reasons. But u still, of course, want to be able to see him." He smiled and nodded. Aizawa and Hizashi nodded as well.

"Okay. Well, when you both can, please come to my office to sign a bunch of papers. I will pay for his hospital bill." Nezu said. Aizawa and Hizashi agreed and hung up. Then they walked back into Izuku's hospital room.

"Problem Child. You have a new home. A new family." Aizawa said as he approached his child.

Izuku shot his head up and looked at Aizawa. His eyes went wide. He was scared but excited.

"W-w-wh-who? W-when?" 🦉

Aizawa smiled. "We think it's best if we, Hizashi and I, adopt you. Do you like that?"

Hizashi smiled brightly beside his husband.

Izukus eyes widened even more. A smile crept onto his face. The first real one in a long time. His eyes filled with tears, but of joy.

"Y-yes-s!" Izuku sobbed. His tears were both pain and happiness. He smiled. But he was also in so much pain. It was a mix of feelings.

Aizawa and Hizashi hugged their son. Izuku sobbed into hug and kept saying thank you. Aizawa and Hizashi were also crying. They all had smiles on. Everyone in that room.

Okay, so this was a really short chapter but I think that it is a full chapter. You know what I mean? Well, word count: 1027
