My Hero Academia: Hell is a Mess

If The World Was Ending - JP Saxe, Julia Michaels

Prompt: I got inspired by a song and I wrote this.
Two things that you need to know is that Izuku is 18 and has been out of UA for about a year now.
He also does have a prosthetic arm in this one.

I highly recommend checking out the song.

First songfic btw, so if it is bad, you know why!

Shouta's POV

Shouta enters a dorm with a tired sigh. He just wanted to come home and cuddle with his husband, but he can see that he was still out. Earlier, Hizashi was called out during his teaching period to help with a villain. This left Shouta the job of taking care of the students.

It went as expected. Shouta wanted to expel them all. He looks out the window to see it is dark, so Hizashi should be home soon. Following a habit forced upon him by Izuku, he goes to the kitchen and starts making dinner.

I was distracted
And in traffic
I didn't feel it
When the earthquake happened

While Shouta is making dinner, he hears the door open behind him, then a sudden weight on his back. Shouta turns to see Hizashi clinging on his back. His hair is no longer staying straight as it drops from its usual position. Unlike normal, his smile is not present. He looks worn out.

Shouta turns away from the stove to face him, "Zashi? Hey, are you okay? Are you injured? What happened?"

Hizashi leans against him for another moment before pulling back and signing, 'I good. Overuse quirk. Huge attack on mall. Make tea with medicine, please?'

"No problem. Go lay down on the couch and I'll bring it to you." Hizashi kisses him on the cheek and goes to lay down. Shouta quickly makes Hizashi's favorite tea, inserts his medicine, and brings it over. Hizashi smiles at the sight for a moment, but it disappears as he downs it. Shouta watches him with worry as he sits down, "Kit, are you okay?"

Hizashi clears his throat, "Izuku was the one to call me in. He needed me because, and I quote him, 'I need someone to make sure that I don't beat the shit out of the other heroes.' Izuku predicted this was going to happen, and they didn't listen to him again!"

But it really got me thinkin'
Were you out drinkin'
Were you in the living room
Chillin' watchin' television

Shouta sits up when he hears Izuku's name. Ever since Izuku graduated, he has been more focused on his work than ever before. For the first couple of months, Izuku was able to balance everything somehow. Over time, he just became more withdrawn. He hasn't even heard from the kid in the past month. The last time they talked was at an underground meeting. The only reason he knows Izuku is still alive is because of the media, and that doesn't provide a lot of information because he doesn't do his stupid pranks anymore.

"How is he?" Shouta asks without hesitation.

Hizashi sighs, "Ask him to stay the night, and you will see why for yourself. He plans on working tonight after that shit, and he works the next day. Izuku needs some sense knocked into him."

It's been a year now
Think I've figured out how
How to let you go and let communication die out

Shouta nods, "Alright."

I know, you know, we know
You weren't down for forever and it's fine

Shouta stands up, grabs his phone, and steps outside to dial Izuku.

I know, you know, we know
We weren't meant for each other and it's fine
