A big thanks to TaurusDoodles for making the art bellow! Now to the story!
It had been a week and a half since they met Akemi and they have been visiting every day since. Bringing him clothes (not picked out by Shōta to go terrible choice of kids clothes), playing with him and even helping him with daily skills.
They also found out that Akemi was not a brunet, but a blonde after giving him a well-needed bath, where they had spent a half an hour scrubbing off probably years of dirt. Revealing a light curly haired boy with light skin that was coated with freckles.
But at the moment Hizashi and Shōta were at home talking about the situation. "I got the case file." Hizashi said sitting at their dining room table. "Can I see it?" Shota said walking over from the bathroom, where he had just taken a shower.
"Theres barley anything in it!" Shōta said skimming through the very few pieces of paper. "They haven't found his captors yet and they can't press charges to someone who's off the radar." Hizashi explained.
"There's two names are they the parents?" Shōta said reading through the paper. "That's what they think but they're still not sure. They're both quirkless, they probably were quirk haters and thats probably why they abandomed him." Hizashi said upset.
"Well what are they going to do with him? He can't stay in the hospital forever." Shōta asked, sitting on the table across from his partner. Hizashi took his time to respond, obviously going on a limb with his words.
"Maybe we could... Foster him," Hizashi said going on a limb. Shōta froze. "Are you sure we're ready to take a step like that Zashi?" He said quietly. Hizashi smiled at the nickname, taking Shota's hands into his own. "It may be a big step but we were destined to all be together! We were the ones to find him in that alleyway it was destiny for us to be a family!
"Alright," Shōta said, chuckling, lightly kissing Hizashi's lips. "But I think we're gonna have to get a bigger apartment." Shōta gestured to the small studio-style apartment, that was littered with takeout boxes and half-drunken energy drinks.
The next three days were filled with cleaning, shopping, and paperwork; a lot of paperwork. Shōta and Hizashi were basically living off of coffee and energy drinks, looking over documents and contracts for a small three-bedroom house that they found, that was on the outskirts of Tokyo. So they were close enough to the city and close to the school he and Hizashi worked at.
While Hizashi was cleaning thier apartment and boxing thier possessions for the move. They had also taken some time to buy Akemi a couple things and by 'a couple' they mean a lot but mostly the essentials. Shōta even bought Akemi a matching sleeping bag. Thankfully the hero business pays well.
They had rushed to move into the new house so almost everything was ready for Akemi to start living with them. They had painted Akemi's room a light purple (being his favorite color) and Shōta put a couple of cat prints on the walls for fun after one of the cats got into some dark violet paint.
But the thing was they hadn't told Akemi about them planning on fostering him yet, they wanted it to be a surprise. The fostering paperwork had been done first and Shōta and Hizashi had to meet with so many people to make it happened, since the case file wasn't closed yet it was difficult but everything pulled through in the end, and they were ready to bring Akemi to his new home.
