     Shouta woke with a start, sitting upright in bed, hearing his heart pounding in his chest. Tears had started falling while he was asleep so his eyes were already sore and red. He looked to his left and, as usual, saw Hizashi asleep beside him. Shouta smiled at him for a moment. Then more tears fell as his nightmare came back to him and he looked back to his lap. No, no. Just a stupid nightmare. Hizashi would never do that. Never.

     "Sho?" Hizashi said, stirring awake. Shouta swore Hizashi could tell when he was awake. But then again Shouta did the same thing with Hizashi. "You okay?"

      Shouta nodded and rubbed his eyes, clearing away some of the water, mostly what had gathered in his eyelashes.

     "Why you crying?" Hizashi asked as his arms wrapped around Shouta's stomach from behind.

     "Just a nightmare..." Shouta shook his head, brushing it off as if it were nothing and he wasn't crying his eyes out.

     "What was it about?" Hizashi pulled Shouta back so Shouta was lying on top of him. Shouta turned around and buried his face in the other's chest.

     "It's just stupid... I know it'd never happen it was just scary..." Shouta mumbled into Hizashi's jumper.

     "That doesn't answer my question. But I understand. That's okay..." Hizashi had, at some point sat up, making Shouta do so as well.  The blonde moved his hand to Shouta's face and made him look at him. "I love you..."

     "I love you too," Shouta replied shakily, leaning into Hizashi's hand.

     "Why...? I'm awful!" Hizashi snapped, in the worst moment possible that realisation had hit him.

     "No, you're not..." Shouta told him gently while still managing to have a stern tone.

     "I hurt you! I've hurt you so much! I... I am a horrible human being Shouta... You are still here and I have no idea why. You put up with so much... When you shouldn't. You shouldn't love me. Not after what I've done."

     "I don't care what you do. You could kill a thousand people and I would still love you. You are a hero. And if not to anyone else, you will always be my hero. No matter what you do I'll always love you." Shouta told the blonde comfortingly.

     "What if... I was... I don't know, the traitor of UA or something and you knew but nobody else did?" Hizashi asked, looking to the side, avoiding eye contact with Shouta as he did.

     Shouta shrugged. "I... Would probably stay quiet... Or ask you why you were doing it. Never risk you being arrested or something like that."

     "Why though? If I was doing something villainous... And you said nothing... That'd just get you into a lot of trouble." Hizashi tried to reason. He really just needed to know...

     "I don't care. As long as I know you're okay I will be too." Shouta murmured softly before hugging Hizashi tightly and nuzzling into the crook of his neck.

     They stayed like that until, eventually, the two fell asleep. They didn't even know when it had happened, it just had. After that the night was peaceful.



     Except for one thing...


(HI! Short thing I thought I'd use to establish that Mic does actually care as much as Aizawa does. They are happy... Most of the time. Anyway. This may sound weird but I've already decided what I'm going to title the last chapter XD. I do hope nobody dies reading the rest of this because... I have plans of pure evil.

ANYWAY. GOODBYE!)
