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 Over time, he just became more withdrawn.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

The phone rings twice before Izuku's voice fills the line, 'Hey, Sho. What's up?'

Shouta can hear from the tone alone that Izuku is tired, "Kid, can you come over tonight?"

But if the world was ending
You'd come over right

'I wish. I have patrol tonight. After all this bullshit, I need more information so they can't pull off another one of these attacks even though it could already have ended if the Hero Commission would let me do my job. Maybe another night?'

You'd come over and you'd stay the night

"Please. I don't know what the hell has been going on at your end, but, from what I hear, you're overworking yourself. Take a break for tonight."

Would you love me for the hell of it

'Soon.'

All our fears would be irrelevant

"You can't do anything if you break yourself."

If the world was ending
You'd come over right
The sky'd be falling and I'd hold you tight
And there wouldn't be a reason why
We would even have to say goodbye

'Fuck, Shouta-'

If the world was ending
You'd come over right

"There is more than just you. You need to let them work too."

Right?

Shouta hears a sigh over the line along with paperwork being moved around.

If the world was ending
You'd come over right

"Please. It's just one night."

Right?

'Fine. See you in fifteen, dumbass. You better at least have food.' The call ends after Izuku says that.

Izuku's POV

Izuku grabs his bag and neatly packs the necessities for one night. When he looks up in the mirror, he can't help but huff a laugh. With everything going on, he hasn't even realized that his hair has gotten as long as Shouta's. At least it's clean.

With a sigh, Izuku ties it up into a bun and pulls on a black beanie to hide it. Then, he quickly changes into black jeans and a white large t-shirt with 't-shirt' written on it. After some searching, he pulls on a black leather jacket Nemuri got him a while back to cover his prosthetic. He pulls on black gloves to finish covering it. Finally, he places nerdy black glasses on his face to change his eye-color from green to blue.

Izuku checks everything in his home multiple times before putting on his shoes and leaving to walk to UA.

I tried to imagine
Your reaction
It didn't scare me when the earthquake happened

During the walk, Izuku's mind can't help but wander to the attack earlier. Even though a lot of damage was prevented, not everything could be stopped. Rephrase, it could have been if the idiots by the name of the Hero Commission had listened.

But it really got me thinkin'
That night we went drinkin'

It took everything not to scream when the attack started. Izuku was there. He waited for it. He couldn't get help until it happened. When it did, he did as much as he could.

But it wasn't enough.

Stumbled in the house
And didn't make it past the kitchen

He should have fought harder. He should have screamed until they had listened. He should have asked heroes for help.

Anything would have helped.

Ah it's been a year now
Think I've figured out how

Even after a year of being out of UA, Izuku is rarely listened to despite his accuracy.

He needs to work harder to prove himself for those around him.

How to think about you without it rippin' my heart out

Shaking his head, Izuku continues walking.

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

Izuku approaches UA and swipes his card to enter.

But if the world was ending
You'd come over right
You'd come over and you'd stay the night
Would you love me for the hell of it

Students give Izuku weird looks as he enters the teacher's dorms.

Nemuri is the first to notice as she runs over to give him a hug.

All our fears would be irrelevant

Nemuri smiles, "I haven't seen you in so long! What are you doing here, Izu?"

If the world was ending
You'd come over right

"Sho called. He asked me to come over for some reason."

"I'll lead you to him," Nemuri says as she leads to his dorm.

The sky'd be falling while I'd hold you tight
No, there wouldn't be a reason why
We would even have to say goodbye
If the world was ending

Eventually, the two arrive in front of the door. Nemuri encourages Izuku to knock.

You'd come over right

Izuku knocks.

You'd come over right

Immediately, Shouta opens the door.

You'd come over, you'd come over, you'd come over right

Shouta looks over Izuku for a moment.

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

Then, he steps forward and removes Izuku's glasses and beanie. He needed to see Izuku.

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

Shouta interrupts the silence by saying, "You look horrible, kid."

"Thank God people can't visit you. Otherwise, you would be a shitty neighbor." Izuku can't help but sass back.

But if the world was ending
You'd come over right
You'd come over and you'd stay the night

Shouta can't help but smile. He missed him.

Would you love me for the hell of it
All our fears would be irrelevant

Shouta opens his arms, "Come here, brat."

If the world was ending
You'd come over right
The sky'd be falling while I'd hold you tight

Izuku huffs in annoyance but walks into Shouta, who hugs him tightly back.

No there wouldn't be a reason why
We would even have to say goodbye

Eventually, Izuku hugs back.

If the world was ending
You'd come over right
You'd come over, you'd come over, you'd come over right

"I'm here for you, Izuku." Shouta softly says. Hizashi and Nemuri watch from behind with fondness.

"I know, dumbass," Izuku says, "Now, food?"

Shouta shakes his head, but he should have expected that.

If the world was ending
You'd come over right
