Trouble (SeroDeku)

Chapter 23

Didn't have time to edit this, sorry if there's a bunch of mistakes lolz. 

It was a small mercy that moving the Sero family into one of Izuku's apartments was an easy affair. The hardest part was waking Hina up. The thirteen year old refused to even open her eyes, just mumbling incoherently under her breath when anyone shook her. It got to the point where Izuku ran out of patience and just put her on the back of Blaze. The flames didn't burn, just acted as a gentle warm as the girl snuggled further into the wispy fur of fire on his back. 

Fuck, I gave the quirk a gender, Izuku thought to himself after the fact.

Since they tried to keep the second floor as empty as possible (because that was where Izuku and Toga lived, they didn't need residence complaining about them coming and going in the middle of the night), the apartment right next to theirs was free. 

"Mom and the girls are all settled," Hanta said as he walked into Izuku's apartment. 

Toga and him were squished onto the couch, Izuku's head already in the woman's lap. "Good," he mumbled, fighting to keep his eyes open as his best friend meticulously worked through the knots in his hair. "I'll go to UA tomorrow and get everything sorted for Haru and Emiko." 

"It can wait a day, Izu," Toga said softly. The villain was dead on his feet, running himself ragged all over the city for weeks. He needed a day off badly. 

Izuku pushed himself to sit up, trying to prove that he was just fine. "I'll be fine, Himi. Doesn't take much to talk to the old rat." His sentence was punctuated with a yawn.  

Hanta crossed his arms and looked down his nose at the man. "I agree with Toga. Relax tomorrow, Iz. You deserve it." 

"Who said threatening Nezu wasn't relaxing?" he shot back, a barely there smirk taking over his lips. It was all he could manage with the little energy he had left. 

Toga pushed his head to the side with one finger and giggled softly when he fell right over, unable to keep himself up right. "Go to bed, Izuku. We can argue about it in the morning." 

Izuku hummed as he struggled to push himself back up, "Fine, but only because I was going to anyway." 

Hanta held a hand out, which Izuku accept almost immediately and was easily hauled to his feet by the pro. "You want me to stay?" Hanta asked quietly, anxiety leaking into his voice at the thought of rejection. 

Izuku had nearly melted into Hanta chest, to tired to support his own weight anymore. "I'd love it, but someone needs to stay with your family." 

"I'll go!" Toga instantly offered, hopping up from the couch with a new found bounce in her step. "You two love birds can have the apartment for the night," she added with a wink. 

Izuku weakly shook his head at her offer. "Himi, no. You don't have to-" 

He wasn't able to finish his sentence as Hanta swept him right off his feet into a bridal carry. "You heard the woman, we get the apartment for the night," the hero said with an easy smile, already heading for the hall. 

"See ya in the morning!" Toga called after them, making her way to the front door. 

"Thanks, Toga!" Hanta called back. "Which door is you?"

Izuku just sleepily pointed to his room. He didn't have any fight left, might as well go with the flow. He yawned again as Hanta managed to open the door with one hand and head toward the villain's bed. "I know your mind is in the gutter right now, but-" 

Hanta cut him off again, but this time with a laugh. "Only thought in my mind right now, lightning bug, is falling asleep with you in my arms." 

Izuku hummed as he was gently lowered onto his mattress, the hero following moments later. "Were you always this much of a sap?"
