Chapter 55 - Family

Happy birthday Shōto.
I might have put you through hell in every story I wrote, but even if you're not real, you mean the world to me.

(Yeah, this chapter was supposed to come out for Shōto's birthday and I was lazy enough not to delete this part even if it's already March.)

Chapter 55 - Family

DAY 619

"Maybe you should put a plain sweater over that shirt..." - Izuku said stifling a laugh.

"Why? It's the sweater you gave me for Christmas, I like it..." - Shōto said frowning looking at him through the mirror as he finished to fix the collar of his shirt before softly running his hands over the fabric of his new sweater, almost as if touching the most precious thing in the world.

"I'm glad you do, but it's All Might themed..." - Izuku's mumbled scratching at the back of his head - "I'm not sure it's the wisest choice since you're going home.

Shōto stared down at his Christmas All Might sweater for another moment still running his hand over the fabric before giving Izuku a questioning look.

"I'm not sure your father will like it, and I'd rather keep him supporting our relationship and especially not hurting you..." - he elaborated making Shōto scoff.

"I'm quiete sure my father won't be there to see it..." - he said. He didn't particularly care in that moment anyway: it was probably the second All Might themed thing he owned, the first one being the small plushie Izuku had gifted him last year, and he cherished it deeply. It was nice to finally to have something he liked.

"Thanks god..." - Izuku chuckled nervously.

"And I don't think I should be taking fashion advice from you of all people...you know that right?" - Shōto scoffed turning around to look at him, finger pointing at the 'Xmas Sweater' embroidered in bold letters on his boyfriend's sweater.

Izuku looked down at his sweater and chuckled before looking up again at Shōto before speaking.

"It's more about keeping you safe, but fair point..." - he smiled.

"How do I look?" - asked looking back at his reflection in the mirror finding it hard to hide a frown before turning back to his boyfriend - "Do I look...stupid?"

Izuku scoffed standing up from the futon to walk up to Shōto, cupping his cheeks with a soft smile before placing a soft kiss on his lips.

"Never in a thousand years..." - he said making Shōto frown deeper.

"Don't give me that look. You're gorgeous and I'll keep reminding you every single day until it gets through that tick skull of yours and you start believing me. You are the prettiest boy I've ever known."

Shōto lowered his head blushing before wandering around the room in search of a hair tie, to pull his hair into his usual messy ponytail. He liked the compliments Izuku showered him with, but he still found it really hard to believe them most of the times.

"Do you want me to braid your hair?" - Izuku asked watching as Shōto quickly tied his hair back.

"You know how to?" - he asked rummaging through his wardrobe, the question seemed to have sparkled his interest.

Izuku shrugged lightly as he looked Shōto pick up a pair of black Chelsea boots before turning around to meet his eyes.

"I can give it a try...I used to play with my mum's hair when I was little..." - Izuku said forcing a smile.
