Hugs Help Insomniacs. Always (Dadzawa/EraserMic + Shinsou)

Morning

Shinsou's sobs were muffled by the storm but not silent.

He never really let his emotions out.

Yet all that happened was two of his teachers taking off a muzzle and giving him a hug.

Was he really that weak?

Aizawa: "You're not weak, Shinsou."

Was Aizawa a mind reader?....

Aizawa's hand slowly began to play with Shinsou's hair soothingly while Mic just held him close.

After a few minutes Shinsou's sobs died down and sleep tugged Hitoshi into its calming embrace.

Aizawa: "How did you know that giving him a hug would calm him?"

Hizashi: "Hug help insomniacs. Always."

Aizawa: "What will we do with him?"

Hizashi: "Maybe we can ask him what's going in when he wakes.."

Shota hummed in response.

Aizawa: "Maybe we could get some rest too...the sofa ain't the comfiest but I don't want to leave alone or move him."

Mic gently nudged Shinsou, causing a quiet grown and his eyes to tired open looking at them groggily.

Hizashi: "Tired Shinsou?"

A nod.

Hizashi: "Well I don't think this sofa is the comfiest place to sleep, right!"

......

Nod.

Hizashi: "Would you rather sleep in our bed?"

Nod.

Aizawa gently picked up the half alseep Shinsou and carried him upstairs. There he gently laid him on their bed as they didn't have the spare room set up.

Just as he turned to go, Shota felt something latch into his arm.

Shinsou: "..no.."

Looking down he saw Shinsou holding his arm close.

Aizawa: "Something you need?" He asked the sleepy Shinsou.

Shinsou: "No...just...stay.."

Aizawa: "Can Mic come too?"

Nod.

Aizawa: "Zashi!"

Hizashi rushed up the stairs in worry but calmed once he saw the sight.

Hizashi: "Oh? (Chuckle) is there something you need Shinsou?"

Shinsou: ".......cuddles......"

Aizawa: "I think we can do cuddles, kiddo,"

A quiet hum was the best response from Shinsou.

That night Shinsou slept comfortably for the first time.

He slept in the middle of the bed while Aizawa and Mic held him close; like holding their child protectively.

Under the weight of their warmth, Shinsou's worries faded away.

*The next morning*

Shinsou awoke to two hushed voices. He still had his eyes shut.

Hizashi: "Should we wake him?"

Aizawa: "No. We should let him wake on his own accords. Also I need to talk you about something..."

Hizashi: "Is about Shinsou?"

Aizawa: "Yeah"

Shisnou's interest piqued.

He knew eavesdropping was bad...

BBBBBBBBUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTT

...you know...

They wouldn't know....and it wouldn't hurt to listen...

So instead of sitting up, yawning and letting them have a private conversation, in private...

Shinsou stayed laying down, kept his eyes closed and listened in.

Aizawa: "You know...when Shinsou came in yesterday...his foster family had hurt him...he rarely gets hurt...and he had a muzzle on that he couldn't get off.."

Oh god!

Did Aizawa-Sensei think he was weak...

Hizashi cleared his throat and possibly gestured to something but Hitoshi couldn't tell with his eyes closed and all.

Aizawa: "Oh...and...Hitoshi Shinsou you know better to eavesdrop."

Fucccccccc-

Shinsou stayed dead still, eyes closed, breath held. That probably was why Mic cleared his throat....to let Aizawa know that he could tell Shinsou was awake.

Maybe if he stayed still for long enough they drop it and acutally think he was asleep...

However, Shinsou had held his breath and slowly was running out of breath.

Why did Shinsou hold his breath?

Even he didn't know...just happend when Aizawa caught him...

Hizashi: "(sigh) Shinsou...get up."

Aizawa: "And explain why you were eavesdropping"

Shinsou did not want to get or up or explain why.

The bed was comfy and he'd probably get in trouble for eavesdropping...

'Get in trouble'

What would that mean, here?

Rules changed depending on foster families.

Punishments changed depending on foster families.

Shinsou's wellbeing changed depending on foster families.

So if he sat up would he get hurt, put in timeout (yep one foster family did that him even after he out grew up...and it worked....), verbally told off, muzzled?!

Also the bed was comfy...who would ever want to get off?

Aizawa: "Shinsou...(sigh). We know you're awake."

Shinsou: "No I'm not."

Aizawa: ".......Really?"

He heard Mic chuckle before quickly getting off the bed.

Aizawa: "You brought this on yourself."

What was he-

Shinsou: "AGH!"

(THUD!)

Andddd he was on the floor. The uncomfortable floor. The carpet was nice...but not as cozy as their bed. He sat up and glared up at Aizawa, who had pushed him off.

Aizawa: "Now, you're up. Care to explain why you were eavesdropping?"

Shinsou sat back on the bed before Mic joined once he was certain Shinsou wouldn't be pushed off again.

Shinsou: "...."

Hizashi chuckled at his silence

Shinsou: "...just wanted to know......it sounded important...so I wanted to hear..."

Aizawa sighed before chuckling quietly.

Aizawa: "You'll be the death of me..."

Hizashi: "Now how about you get up, have breakfast so we can talk about...last night..."

Right....

Last night...

Shinsou nodded before Aizawa handed him some clothes and they both left.

Last night...
