You Make Me Happy

Could he?

It's been close to a week since Hizashi has been back he has been to the doctor again and has gained his weight back the police questioned him again and finally put him in the clear, Aizawa is half asleep when he feels Hizashi move and get up out of the bed he slips his shoes on and quietly leave the apartment this is the forth day in a row he has done this Aizawa tried to ask him about it but Hizashi just steers the conversation in a different direction or just blows it off like it's nothing, he has grew a bit more distant from everyone especially Aizawa but no one really knows why, Hizashi leaves every night around 3am and doesn't get back till almost 6am when they leave for school one time he didn't come back at all and just meet Aizawa at school, sometimes he can hear Hizashi talking to himself Aizawa even asked him about that but Hizashi just says he is thinking of new ideas for his radio show but Aizawa doesn't believe it.

When he woke up again Hizashi was just walking back through the door his hair was a mess and his shirt was torn Aizawa bolted up and asked "what happened?" Hizashi help up a hand and said "nothing I just accidentally feel down a hill and my shirt bagged onto a sharp rocks." Aizawa jumped up as Hizashi was stripping his shirt off there was a cut along where the tire was at so Aizawa grabbed the bottle of alcohol and started applying it to the cut, Hizashi winced but didn't stop him. When Aizawa finished the alarm went off and he sighed and said "go take a quick shower and put something on this cut." Hizashi nodded and walked into the bathroom Aizawa sat on the edge of the bed and wondered what was going on with his husband.

At school Hizashi didn't join Aizawa for class instead he wondered the school halls, Aizawa tried to join him but Hizashi wanted to be alone so Aizawa didn't push him but let him know his door is always open to him. After class for lunch Hizashi joined everyone but didn't talk as much, when it was over Hizashi left early and Yagi was the first to speak "what is wrong with him?" Aizawa turned around in his chair from looking at the door and said "honestly I don't know he has been like this he is hardly ever home." "He just started this when he got back?" Nemuri asked "have you tried talking to him?" Aizawa put his chin in his hand "I have multiple times but he just ignores it or says it's nothing." Enji sighed and said "Aizawa I know I don't normally say anything but I think he is depressed I mean he was tortured and saw his dead mom talking to him and his siblings are villains in other words dudes fucked up mentally right now." Aizawa sighed and dropped his head into his arms "I know Enji but he doesn't let me help him out or talk to me." Enji sighed and stood up "only thing to do i guess is wait till he is ready to talk about it until then just be there for him." Yagi looked at Enji and said "I agree with him Aizawa that's the only thing you can do." Enji nodded towards Yagi and walked out the door Nemuri gasped and said "Enji- that was not Enji right now and HE DIDN'T FIGHT WITH YOU YAGI!" Aizawa sighed and said "way to ruin the mood Nemuri."

After lunch Hizashi still didn't come back but Aizawa took the few minutes before class started to try and find him he went around the corner leading to the cafeteria when he spotted him talking to to younger kids one was a girl with long black hair and one yellow eye the other eye had a eye patch covering it the other kid was a boy just the same height as the girl he had shaggy black hair and big blue eyes, Aizawa couldn't see Hizashi's face because his back was to him he was about to go up to him but Nezu appeared "those are our new students the boys name is Katsuo and the girls name is Akane, they transferred here about a week ago from AKU* elementary school." Aizawa felt a bad feeling in his gut about these two kids "they specifically asked to be in the same class, apparently Akane is ill and Katsuo is the only one who knows what to do. What a strange pair." Aizawa said "yes it seems so. What about the parents." Nezu hummed and said "apparently their parents died by some villain when they were young so they live with their grandmother." Aizawa didn't tear his eyes away from Hizashi and said "I get a bad feeling from them two." Nezu nodded and said "I do to eraser head I have been keeping a close eye on them two." Aizawa nodded and began to walk to class when Nezu said "I sure hope Hizashi is ok." Aizawa didn't know how to answer to that he began to wonder if Hizashi is a villain but he shook his head, no he couldn't be thinking like that Hizashi has always and will always be a hero, he is so happy, carefree a joy to be around most people when they are loud and so happy annoy the shit out of him but not Hizashi he has saved his life more times then he can count he was about to enter the class room when he noticed Hizashi running up to him with his bright green eyes and big smile, yah he definitely couldn't be a villain what in the world was he thinking. Hizashi caught up to him and said "hey babe." Aizawa smiled at him and said "let me guess you want to get Taiyaki later- or go to our favorite restaurant." Hizashi nodded his head fast and said "both please!" Aizawa chuckled and said "yah sure after school ok." Hizashi smiled big "are you going to join us today?" Hizashi tensed up and said "no I'm going to walk around again." Aizawa frowned sadly "Zashi you know if there is anything you need to talk about I'm always here for you." Hizashi nodded and said "I know Shouta." "You just seem different I'm worried about you." Hizashi crosses his arms over his chest and said with a thin smile "I'm fine babe I promise I just missed this school a lot." Aizawa nodded and knew he wasn't going to get anywhere by pushing "I'm going to go smoke a cigarette on the roof I promise I'm fine." Aizawa nodded and said "I'll see you after school, ok?" Hizashi smiled big and began to back away while saying "after school I promise!" Then he took off.

When school ended Aizawa waited on the steps for Hizashi but he didn't come out till all the kids were out of the school "hey sorry I took so long." Aizawa said "it's alright let's just go I'm hungry." Hizashi smiled big and said "someone sounds upset, what's wrong Shouta?" Aizawa sighed and kicked at the ground "I just am worried about you Honey." Hizashi made a dejected "I'm sorry Shouta I don't mean to make you worry I'm sorry." Aizawa frowned at himself and said "it's just you have been distant with me and with everyone else and at night you leave and don't come back till god knows what time and then this more you looked like hell." Hizashi looked like Aizawa just snakes him in the face and began to cry but Aizawa felt like keeping on but had to stop himself what was he doing Hizashi has just been through hell and he was making it all about himself not even taking into consideration how Hizashi felt, he felt selfish and want to hit himself over the head "I'm sorry Zashi I shouldn't have fussed at you." Hizashi whipped his face and said "no you are right I should be talking to you but it's just difficult." Aizawa hugged Hizashi and said "I'm not going to force you ok talk to me when you are ready." Hizashi sat down on the steps and said "I don't know how I feel right now honestly I'm still In shock I guess I mean my mom was dead but she was talking to me I was drugged up and my siblings can't age because of their father and are now evil, I mean how do I begin to process all of this and be ok afterwards I'm confused and honestly I kinda want to feel numb." Aizawa sat beside him and said "Hizashi I cant tell you what to do and think and I know me saying I'm always here won't make you feel better but you don't have to deal with all of this alone, when you are ready we can go to a therapist if you want." Hizashi smiled faintly "thanks Aizawa." They sat in silence for a bit looking at the sky Hizashi began to cry a bit and said "I remember when we was younger and when I first moved in with you and your mom I always slept in the floor by your bed." He chuckled "you even left me a pallet every night." Aizawa smiled "yah I remember." "Every single night I had a nightmare about my dad and how he would beat me." He whipped his tears and moved the hair out of his face "I use to hope my mom would somehow come back for me when I lived with my dad I would imagine her as this wonderful person and she was just away to make sure she had this nice house and plenty of food and enough money to make me happy." He took a shake breath "turns out she didn't care even if she did she didn't care enough to help me out." Aizawa put a hand on his hand and let Hizashi keep on "seeing her like that just brought up all them memories with my dad and that's what was messing me up I think." Aizawa kept watching Hizashi "talking about it is hard but I know I need to I just-" He sniffled "I just-" he began to shake and cry hard and tried to talk but it caught in his throat and his hair feel in his face and Aizawa grabbed him and let him cry.

After Hizashi cried a good be when he stopped and Aizawa let him go he had red remed eyes and a red nose and he said "let's walk and get something to eat." Aizawa nodded and didn't protest he held Hizashi's hand while they went and got something to eat at the restaurant they have been going to since they were younger.

When they got home Aizawa and Hizashi laid down for bed, Aizawa thought everything was going to be a bit different but around 4am Hizashi got up and left the apartment again, "baby steps." Aizawa mumbled and feel back asleep.
