The Emerald Prince

Chapter 7: Under the Stars

Life in the Aizawa household took on steady routine.

Since Izuku had no school and had long since been able to beat his combat trainers single handed, he had no constraints forcing him into a daylight schedule.

Reluctantly, Aizawa permitted him to go out to night clubs and pubs in the evening. He wouldn't drink, but would 'let' himself be harassed into a kiss by one drunken person or another. He attracted those with powerful quirks so sitting still and looking pretty was all he really needed to do.
Besides he was powerful enough to be able to extricate himself easily and as it was them who kissed him without caution or consent, his hero's conscience wasn't too tested.

Aizawa was conflicted, but Izuku wasn't taking quirks, and he'd done far worse than kiss guys. He could fend for himself, and accumulating and fusing quirks was the best way for him to become stronger to protect himself when all hell broke loose.
Besides Izuku was far more likely to be able to take on All for One, rather than All Might, in his opinion at least. And regardless of that...with his ability, Izuku needed to be as powerful as possible if he was to survive.

So at around 10 pm, Izuku would doll up, sometimes even crossdressing for a 'different audience', and Aizawa would get into his hero gear. After Izuku cooked them 'breakfast', the pair would feed the cats and they'd head out to their nighttime duties.

At midnight, Izuku would return to the house, remove the make up and change into a hoodie and sweat pants, investing time equally between study, training... and cleaning.

Aizawa wasn't a naturally untidy or really unclean man, at least excepting his personal appearance. However with a 8 to 6 job at UA, and devoting his nights to hero work, he only had time to do the essentials and treat the cats to some love.

This meant that the house had gradually deteriorated into a hovel with cities of spiders, and a small rat community. Bin bags of worn, ripped and/or bloodstained clothes and general rubbish were stacked in a room off of the kitchen, and outdated and irrelevant newspapers dating back over the last ten years were gathered in stacks in storage cupboards or doubling as small tables for gatherings of old coffee mugs, and empty cat treat packets.

Nothing gave Izuku more satisfaction then giving the house the detox it deserved, and though Aizawa complained a little when Izuku insisted on replacing the exhausted sofa and buying him a brand new bright yellow sleeping bag to replace his ancient grey one, he knew the man appreciated it.

At 7:00 am, Aizawa would return to fresh coffee, which they'd enjoy together with the cats. Once finished, they'd spar in the gym the hero had installed in a large basement. The only hint that his bank account did not reflect his appearance.

Aizawa often let Izuku train with the quirks he picked up, or the new ones he fused. They regularly spent 'evenings' debating which quirk Izuku should take to UA but eventually agreed Antiquirk was the most versatile, and to an extent left potential for him to use the others without raising suspicion in emergencies.

Following the training, Either of them would cook dinner. After the meal, Aizawa would do some paperwork, and then go to UA.
Izuku would go out for food and to his part time job at the coffee shop that had brought them together.
The pair would return home at 4:00 pm to sleep.

Izuku had come to this particular club to meet the owner. Her name was Mihoko, and she was quite beautiful with pale purple hair.
She wanted to hire him, and it was tempting. But he had decided to refuse and see where his relationship with Aizawa went. He had plenty of savings in the mean time, and she told him he could always comeback... though she looked quite happy he was 'getting out'.
