{ShinDeku, No quirk Au} ~'Cause if I want you, and I want you, babe Ain't going backwards, won't ask for space 'Cause space is just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get too... Close~ Izuku Midoriya, an aspiring photography student in his first year of college. Everything was going exceptionally well, at first, that is until his mother got sick just a few short months after he began his journey through early adulthood. Cancer- Inko, his mother, was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. Sure, he was there on a photography scholarship, but he had hospital bills to pay- as well as money for essential needs. So he takes odd jobs here and there to get by, but it was never enough. That is until he gets an opportunity to clean bathrooms and assist a boy around his age for a crap ton of money. Hitoshi Shinso, he's your typical playboy in great need of an attitude check. His father, Shota Aizawa is a very well respected business man in Japan- but his son's behavior is beginning to affect him in ways you can only imagine. So when a desperate Izuku makes his way into their lives, Aizawa takes a chance to hopefully change his son's snotty ways. Excerpt--------- "Hm? What'd you say?" He asked quietly, getting up and making his way over to the green haired college student's bed. "Oh, nothing," Izuku smiled innocently, shrugging his shoulder as he joins him on the bed. "So what's this game you want to play at eleven thirty at night?" He asked, genuinely curious as to what is was. Hitoshi pressed his lips together in a thin line, puffing his cheeks out in thought. He clearly hadn't thought of the game yet. "How about. . . Two truths and a lie?" He suggested, peaking Izuku's interest. "All right, fine, but you have to go first Mr. Demanding." Izuku said with a smirk. "'Mr. Demanding?'" The elder mused, "Is that what you've been calling me this entire time?" Giving a light shrug of his shoulder, Izuku looks around nonchalantly. "It's a possibility. . . yes,"

Yamada is jealous of Aizawa's father-son relationship with Hitoshi, and goes to find out a bit more about the adopting process. When he meets a baby boy born with an empathy quirk and quickly takes him as his own. He makes a promise to protect Yamada Izuku from the negatives of the world.

Not all advice is good advice. But even bad advice can be better than it may seem. Sometimes, all it takes is a bit of faith. Or a willingness to face the end.
