Comfort in the oddest places

By: Atiya_Blackcharm

If anyone thought that not needing any sleep would make them  productive they would be correct. However, most likely they would have  forgotten that it is important to rest so naps are given.

This was  the case of Midoriya Izuku who since the age of 4 did not need to sleep  (before that his mother was awfully concerned about how little her son  slept and always seemed tired). And with the available night hours and a  brain filled with ideas, Izuku got to work.

But in addition to the in-depth and somewhat frightening analysis and creations, Izuku also took many naps.

Naps that occurred in less than ideal places.

It  became the norm for Inko to find her son taking a short nap everywhere  except his bed. When he was small enough, she often found a head of  green hair instead some of the supplies from the cupboard. There were  times where she pulled out a chair from the dining table to find a small  body sprawled across 2 chairs. It was normal to see him crawl  underneath the coffee table and nap while she watched her show.

His  naps were never longer than 5 to 10 minutes. He took multiple  throughout the day. Although his dark circles and tired demeanor never  seemed to go away. Which Izuku was completely fine with.

And when Izuku was accepted into UA, Nedzu seemed completely fine with Izuku's need for multiple naps thought the day.

"Take  a nap wherever you feel is comfortable," Nedzu has said, and he meant  it quite literally (at least that's how Izuku took it).

When Todoroki arrived to UA and saw two students with messy  hair and dark circles, the first thought he had when he saw his homeroom  teacher who also had messy hair and dark circles was completely logical.

Aizawa-sensei has two children attending UA.

And while one of them was currently in his class, their purple  hair smooshed on their desk, Todoroki wondered where Aizawa-sensei's  other son was.

He later caught sight of messy green hair  sleeping somewhere behind Lunch Rush when he was getting some soba. It  seemed that the top of a refrigerator in a loud cafeteria was a perfect  place for a nap.

Maybe he likes the noise, Todoroki thought as he sat down at the same table Shinsou was sitting along with Kaminari and Sero.

"Does  noise help someone fall asleep?" He couldn't help but ask the others.  Kaminari and Sero both paused chewing while Shinsou was the one to  respond.

"It can help some people. There's even videos that are hours long of different noises to help people fall asleep."

Todoroki  hummed in thought and looked back at Lunch Rush even if he would not be  able to see where Aizawa-sensei's green-haired son was napping. He  looked back at Shinsou who was still looking at him while the other two  were still silent.

"Thank you," Shoto said before returning to eat his cold Soba.

"No problem," Shinsou said before also returning to his own food.

Both  Sero and Kaminari looked at each other and smiled as if they had seen  something amazing happen. Both Todoroki and Shinsou decided not to  address the smile and just continue eating.

Hatsume was getting a headstart with creating her babies in  the lab. Despite her homeroom teacher being stressed out, she was  informed by the principal that it was fine for her to have extra time in  the lab.
