Finding Love Again

Chapter 10

After weeks of recovering Shoto adjusted to the new heart. He was thankful, but also heart broken at Inko's sacrifice. As soon as he was released from the hospital Shoto and Izuku both went to Inko's grave with flowers. Shoto would never forget what Inko did for him. Now more than ever Izuku and Shoto were close. Shoto moved in with Izuku to help him adjust. It was best that way. Izuku had no idea of Shoto's home life, but, Fuyumi had told him to keep Shoto away for awhile.

"Shoto? How are you feeling?" Izuku kneeled down beside him. Shoto was sitting on the couch as he gave Izuku's hand a gentle squeeze. "I'm alive and well, thank you." He gave Izuku a reassuring smile. Some color came back to Shoto's face and he was recovering well. Izuku was still protective of him however. He interlocked their fingers as Izuku rested his forehead against his.

They cuddled close to eachother just enjoying the other's company. "I'm happy you are getting better.. I-I was so scared."He cried. Shoto pulled him into a hug as he held Izuku "Baby shh.. I'm so sorry."He cooed. "No don't apologize, you've suffered for so long baby it's time something good has happened. You were right I'm selfish. Instead of seeing your pain, I only focused on my own. You helped me find my worth and my love for life. I owe you everything. Shoto I"- He was cut off by the door knocking. Izuku went and answered only to see a big man that looked like Shoto but angrier. "Can I help you sir?"Izuku asked nervously.

"Where is he?"

"Who?"

"DO NOT PLAY DUMB WITH ME WHERE IS MY STUPID SON?!"

Enji yelled as he entered the house looking around. Izuku went over worried about what was going on. He then knew.. he suddenly knew who those bruises came from. He suddenly realized why Fuyumi didn't want him home. He speed dialed 911 as Shoto slowly stood. "Dad p-please.. I can"- Enji struck him across the face the impact knocking him to the floor. He wasn't fully recovered so the impact took a tole on him. He coughed and slowly got to his feet. "OH HELL NAH! YOU! GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOUSE WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING YOU OLD FART?!" Izuku screamed throwing a book at Enji. Enji scoffed "Using a cripple to protect you that's low Shoto." "I am his boyfriend! Get the fuck out!"Izuku growled.

Enji was revolted as Shoto sat on the couch. His hand firmly wrapped around his son's neck as he watched him struggle. Izuku screamed and began hitting and scratching Enji. How pathetic.. how was he supposed to protect Shoto when he couldn't even walk? Tears formed as the green haired male tried to think on what to do. "You are so fuckin pathetic Shoto. You don't deserve to have anybody. When you get home you'll never leave again."He growled angrily. Tears formed in Shoto's eyes as he struggled for air. He saw he could lose Shoto and he wasn't about to let that happen again . "Get. Out."Izuku growled pulling himself onto Enji's back.

Enji let go before Natsuo ran in with Touya.. great more people. Touya pulled Izuku off laying him by Shoto before socking Enji in the face "That's for being alive you dick!" He yelled. Shoto coughed as izuku pulled him close. "Baby- Baby please breathe"Izuku panicked. Everything else was muffled out as he looked at him. Shoto caught his breath and slowly nodded "I'm ok I promise. I feel better than ok." he smiled and kissed Izuku. Izuku liked his energy but kept him calm. Shoto was silent as Enji was arrested. Was he supposed to be sad cause it was only relief?

His life was before him like a B rated movie and he honestly felt great. Later that evening shoto's family was celebrating that Enji was arrested. A part of him was sad but not enough to want to bail him out. As the chaos died down izuku cuddled Shoto on the couch. "Baby before my dad came you were going to say something?" Izuku looked at him and nodded "Oh yeah.. Uh I just wanted to ask. Shoto you've been by my side through both my best and worst moments. You were so patient and kind with me. I feel horrible for not treating you the same. You are so so kind I don't deserve it. I want to give you the best life I can so.. Shoto Todoroki will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?" he held up an engagement ring.

The room went silent almost as if time stood still. Shoto couldn't believe it.. he always thought these things only happened in movies or books. Tears rolled down his cheeks as he nodded "Oh my god yes- Yes"He smiled and hugged him. Words were stolen from him as Izuku asked the question that changed the course their lives.

Years passed. Shoto and Izuku were happily married with three adopted kids. Izuku had gotten special braces for his legs so he could walk. Shoto was fully recovered and continued to live strong. Both him and Izuku ran a surf shop, and they never had a dull moment. He was interviewed all over, and the story of Shoto and Izuku's love was told for years to come.

"Tell us Mr Midoriya how did you go from famous surfer to a husband and father?"

"Well like my dad always told me, you find the choice wave and it'll guide you to paradise".
