The Many Married Lives of Izuku Midoriya

Aizawa Shouta 2

A/N: When I published this fic I honestly thought I'd never write a second chapter for Aizawa yet here we are. Cat names come from the following: Luna (I'm a huge Sailor Moon fan) Mighty (Izuku is still a huge All Might fanboy in this universe) Hikaru and Kaoru (I was watching Ouran High School Host Club while writing that sentence) Eraser (Hitoshi's favourite hero is Eraserhead and doesn't realise until like a year after he's been adopted that his dad is his hero) and Rhyme (Like Nursery Rhyme, which came to me as I've just finished Alice's week in Fate Extra and I'm still not over it.

-The words 'This is a mistake' kept repeating inside of Shota's mind as he inspected the small selection of wedding rings that were within his limited budget, proposing to Izuku could never be a mistake, in fact if Shota was being completely honest with himself he should have done it a lot sooner, having known that he wanted to marry the greenette ever since they had shared their first kiss a few years prior, the way that he had felt when Izuku's lips had touched his, how his knees had grown weak almost instantly while his hands moved on their own to tangle themselves in Izuku's hair so that he could pull him closer, Shota wanted to experience that feeling every day for the rest of his life, no the mistake was that he had decided to bring Hizashi along with him to help pick the ring, just what had he been thinking when he had asked the blonde to accompany him earlier that morning, all the idiot had done all day was wander off and look at rings that would take the eraser hero 3 lifetimes to afford, he should have just brought Nemuri, he could have handled the endless teasing she would put him through if it meant he would have some decent fashion advice; maybe he should just propose without a ring so that he and Izuku could pick a set together.

-Shota isn't a big fan on public displays of affection, he doesn't want any of the many enemies he had made since stepping out into the underground to go after his family after all, so things like hand holding or kissing don't happen whenever he and Izuku are out and about on the streets, in private however it's as though he's a completely different person as soon as he steps through the front door, each day without fail after giving each of the cats that corral around his feet a quick pet he'll pull Izuku away from whatever it is he's doing and just hold onto his husband tightly, Shota's face coming to rest against the crook of Izuku's neck as the living embodiment of tired slowly trailed his lips up higher and higher until they reached Izuku's, the pair simply standing there drowning in each other for several minutes until they finally parted and continued on with the rest of their day.

-Sometimes during lunch Izuku and Shota will sleep together in the teacher's lounge, laying claim to the most comfortable sofa in the room before cuddling up inside Shota's yellow sleeping bag so that they could nap until it was time for the student's to return to class, it had become such a common sight over the years that the majority of the staff no longer reacted to the antics of the married couple, the only exceptions being Nemuri and Hizashi, who would use the opportunity to take plenty of photos and send them on to Inko and Tensei, or if something super embarrassing had happened, like how Izuku would occasionally drool all over Shota's gear, they would instead forward the picture to Hitoshi so that he could tease the two about it later when they got home, and yet despite all the teasing they received over the years Shota and Izuku never stopped napping together, more than happy to listen to the jokes and Inko's cooing if it meant they got to spend even a small amount of time in each other's arms.

-Izuku and Shota had always thought that if anyone was going to tell the student body that they were married it would be Hizashi, the loudmouth cockatoo never able to keep anything a secret for very long, but instead it turned out to be young Tenya of all people who had revealed their relationship only 3 days after the new school year had begun, they were betrayed by the same kid that they had spent many afternoons babysitting and had helped develop his quirk to the level it was today, the bluenette addressing Izuku as Aizawa Sensei when he had walked into Shota's classroom to drop off some papers that his husband had forgotten in the teacher's lounge, how did neither of them think to tell the boy that Izuku went by Midoriya while at U.A, they saw the problem child often enough after all he was their son's best friend, he and Tensei were even at their apartment the week prior they should have thought to tell him then, but it was too late now as the students quickly took in what Tenya had said and started bombarding the couple with an endless sea of questions on what their marriage was like; sufficed to say absolutely nothing was taught that period.

-It all started with Luna, the black Bombay that Shota had adopted as soon as he had bought his first apartment, then came Mighty, a tubby Ragdoll missing an eye that Izuku had chosen for himself not long after their wedding, after that it was the twins Hikaru and Kaoru, stray Tabbies that the married couple had picked up at the park one afternoon while discussing lesson plans, the Scottish Fold Eraser came next when Hitoshi joined their little family a few years later, a name that would always have Shota turning his head at thinking that he was the one being called for, and then finally there was the youngest of the bunch, a small Persian named Rhyme that had been picked by Eri the day after Izuku and Shota had been given the adoption papers; the little girl crying her eyes out and hugging her new family tightly as she thanked them for her first friend.
