Lean On Me {DekuYama}

✥8✥

They pulled up to the school and Aizawa was already waiting there for them. Izuku wasted no time, hoping out with the Omega, and headed into the school with Aizawa. Iida hopped out as well, leaving Shoto to park the car before catching up with them. They reached recovery girls' office and Izuku placed Aoyama in the bed, holding his hand with a small smile.

Recovery girl came over and gently patted Izuku's back, "Can you all step out for a moment so I can look over him?"

Izuku nodded and gave Aoyama's hand a small squeeze, "We won't be too far so don't worry,"

Aoyama nodded tearily and the group left the infirmary, Aizawa, and Iida going off somewhere to discuss what happened. Shoto took Izuku by the arm and led him outside, to the bit of forest near the side of the school.

"No one can see us out here," Shoto told him.

Izuku clenched his fist, his entire body trembling with rage as he clenched his teeth and stared ahead. He then began to punch the largest tree in front of him, no quirk, just bare-handed until the flesh of his knuckles tore and his hands were bloody. He just punched and punched and punched before dropping down and angrily screaming into his hands.

Izuku didn't handle anger well, his anger quickly becomes violence because violence is the only way he knows how to let it out. It was the only way he knew how to deal with it, it was how he was taught to deal with it from a young age.

Those who tormented him for being quirkless were to thank for that. He used to just reflect it onto himself, when he got angry he would take that anger out onto himself. He'd hit, scratch, bite, or stab himself with his nails to express his anger but ever since he presented he feels compelled to take his anger out on others.

Shoto rounded the boy and gently took his wrist, avoiding his hands, "Izu," he frowned.

"They hurt him...this is all my fault," Izuku cried angrily.

"Hey what did I tell you about that? You cannot blame yourself for everything that goes wrong. You had no idea this would happen and there was nothing we could do about it from the dorms. We had no control over this so don't put the fault on yourself. All we can do now is be there for him and stay by his side," Shoto told him.

"Alright..." Izuku nodded and Shoto smiled a little.

"Come on, let's get your hands healed...we can't keep this from them anymore Izu. It's getting harder for you to suppress your anger and the meds aren't helping," Shoto said as he got to his feet.

Izuku sighed, "Yeah you're right, maybe I should speak with All Might about it,"

"That might be a good idea,"

{The Next Day}

Izuku and Shoto entered recovery girl's office, making Aoyama immediately light up. Shoto fell forward, laying across the foot of the bed while Izuku plops down beside Aoyama who made room for him.

Shoto sits back up and moves to the top of the bed, placing himself on the other side of Aoyama obnoxiously. He giggled at his foolishness and the Alpha cracked a small smile at that and the three scented each other making Aoyama more at ease.

"How are you feeling?" Shoto asked gently.

Aoyama looked down at his lap and fidgeted with his hands, "I had some trouble sleeping but other than that I'm ok now," he said quietly.

Shoto took his hand and gave it a little squeeze, "Everything will be alright, from now on we're only scenting you directly if we can't go with you," he said sternly.
