Lean On Me {DekuYama}

Izuku was alone in the training room, counting to himself as he did one-arm handstand push-ups. He was so lost in thought that he hadn't even realized Yagi was now in the room calling out to him. The boy hadn't been in his right mind for a while now and the ex-pro was beyond worried for him.

"Young Midoriya!" Yagi slightly raised his voice.

Izuku blinked a few times before cartwheeling into a standing position and walking over to the benches to grab his towel and wipe the sweat from his face.

"You can't keep overworking yourself," Yagi followed him.

"I need to get stronger," Izuku said moving past him.

He walked over to the treadmills and began jogging, increasing his pace gradually making Yagi frown.

"Have you taken your-"

"I'm not taking those anymore," Izuku cut him off.

"But you-"

"No," Izuku looked at him from the side of his eye "They make me weak and unperceptive, if I hadn't taken them the," Izuku clenched his fist "I'm not taking them,"

"But you need them, your hormones are unstable," Yagi tried to reason with him "Who knows how being off them could affect you?"

"You never took any medication and you were fine," Izuku mumbled, now irritated.

He was tired of everyone treating him like he was some kind of ticking time bomb. EVERYONE gets angry sometimes, it's a normal and natural emotion. But because he's an Enigma they act as if it's a crime for him to feel any negative emotion.

As soon as he gets a little upset, and it's usually rightfully so, they pump him so full of drugs that he can't even blink on his own. He was sick of it and the next time they tried he wasn't just going to comply.

"That's different-"

"How? How is that any different?!" Izuku raised his voice, getting fed up.

Yagi took a step back, "Young Midoriya just calm down," he said slowly.

"Don't tell me to calm down! Why are you all always acting like I'm some angry and violent person?!" Izuku yelled, now frustrated and got off the machine throwing his towel.

Yagi backed up more and held his hands up like he was trying to show that he didn't want to fight or provoke him. Izuku just looked at him in disbelief before walking back over to the benches and grabbing his things, stuffing them in the bag.

"You really thought I was going to hit you?" Izuku asked, hurt evident in his voice.

Yagi didn't say anything and Izuku just shook his head before leaving and slamming the door shut. He had never felt more than right now, he just wanted him to listen to him. No one ever listens to him, they're always trying to tell him what's best for him but never acknowledge how he feels or what he thinks about it.

He was so fucking tired.

Izuku entered the dorm building and paused as the raging voice inside his head suddenly grew silent and his mind became calm. Izuku entered the common area where the calming scent grew stronger the closer he got.

"Yu? What are you doing up so late?" Izuku asked.

Aoyama, who had been dozing off moments before, sat up now awake again, "I was waiting for you," he said quietly.

"Sorry I took too long, you didn't have to do that, come on let's get you to bed," Izuku went to pick him up.

"No I- I need to talk to you about something," Aoyama looked down.

Izuku grew confused and lowered himself on the ground so that he was now looking up at the Omega rather than down at him.

"Ok, what's wrong?" Izuku asked.

"Did I...do something wrong? Whatever I did I'm sorry and I'll do whatever I can to fix it I swear,"

Izuku grew more confused, "Woah woah woah wait calm down what are you talking about? You haven't done anything wrong, where is this coming from?"

"Ever since we came back from the internships it feels like you've been avoiding me, we were always together up until then. You don't look at me, you don't talk to me, you haven't been answering my texts or calls, whenever I see you you always disappear before I can get a word out.

You don't even scent me anymore...I-I'm running out of things with your scent on it and I- I don't know what to do, I feel like I'm losing my best friend. Sho told me I haven't done anything wrong but I feel like I'm bothering you," Aoyama sniffled and Izuku wiped the tears that fell.

"Look at me," He cupped the male's face and he looked at him "You did absolutely nothing wrong ok? I promise I'm not upset or annoyed by you, it's just that- the attack and the others getting hurt. That made me realize that I'm too weak to protect our pack so I've been training nonstop to get stronger.

I don't mean to ignore you, there's just so much going on and I'm so frustrated all the time and I don't want you to see me like that. I didn't realize how badly I was hurting you and I'm so sorry for that," Izuku frowned.

Aoyama shook his head and laughed a bit, "No it's ok I'm sorry for making a big deal out of all this I didn't realize how hard things have been for you. I feel so ridiculous now,"

"Don't apologize for caring and being emotional, you aren't ridiculous, it's ok to feel the things that you feel," Izuku told him.

"The same can be said for you...I heard Sensei talking to All Might, are you ok? We can talk about it if you want," Aoyama told him.

"No, it's fine I'm ok, don't worry about me," Izuku smiled.

Aoyama flicked him in the forehead, "You can't lie to me, I could smell the sadness on you as soon as you walked in. If no one will listen to you I will, I don't care how upset or passionate you get while talking. I know you would never hurt me and I will never be scared of you either. You aren't a monster Izuku and if no one else seems to understand you just know that I do,"

Izuku rested his head against Aoyama's stomach as he hugged his waist, letting a few pain-filled tears fall as the boy gently caressed his head and let his scent fill the room. Aizawa pocketed his phone and leaned against the wall with a small smile as he watched the Omega comfort the boy.

He could wait until tomorrow to let the boy know that he too is not afraid of him and would listen to him.
