Third POV, Shouta's POV

Where the hell is Izuku? He was suppose to show up ten minutes ago, yet he isn't here.

Shouta is not going to say that it's never happened before. It has. Sometimes Izuku will get distracted with a project and time slips by. Other times, Izuku simply won't show up if Shouta doing something he doesn't want to be a apart of.

Whatever the reason, it means that Shouta has to go grab him during his break. What he does for that brat.

Homeroom quickly ends, and Shouta decides to start his search for Izuku in his room. Generally speaking, that's where he finds the kid a majority of the time.

Shouta goes through his dorm door attached to Izuku's so he doesn't have to worry about the locks for the other access doors. When he enters, he becomes confused when he enters a completely dark room. Usually, Izuku would at least leave the blinds open to get a little light inside, but even those are closed.

"Izuku?" Shouta calls aloud only to not receive an answer.

Did he have a meeting, and Shouta did not know it? He decides to check Izuku's calendar in the kitchen. With how much he can be involved in at times, Shouta requested the boy to keep it updated. That way, Shouta knows where he can find Izuku incase anything happens. A quick look-over shows that Izuku had Shouta's class scheduled, so why wasn't he there? If he marked it, he clearly wanted to go, or was at least planning on it.

Shouta decides to check the rest of the dorm to make sure Izuku isn't just pulling a prank on him. He goes to his room first, where this sort of shit tends to happen. Just like the main room, it's dark. However, upon closer inspection, there is a lump on Izuku's bed.

He starts to worry. What is going on?

Shouta beings to approach Izuku's bed, looking around for anything out of place. His eyes instantly land on the bedside table, where a pill bottle is spilt over with multiple pills scatted on it and the floor.

Shouta's worry spikes. He grabs the pill bottle to find that it is over-the-counter medicine used for fevers. Upon closer inspection, he also finds sleeping pills that Shouta makes him take once in a while in the mix.

Shit.

That's not good. That's really not good. If that's Izuku under the covers, there's going to be a lot of issues because the kid can't stand being sick. He has reported injuring himself just to knock himself out to get away from it. If Izuku, already delusional, took medication too, who knows how much he took?

Shouta rushes over to the bed and lifts the covers to find Izuku, who is curled up trembling. He puts the sheets aside and starts shaking the boy awake, nearly flinching at how warm he is.

"Izuku, wake up," Shouta says quickly, worry flooding his tone. He would feel bad about waking him up due to illness, but he needs to make sure that Izuku didn't accidently overdose himself.

When Izuku doesn't respond, he tightens his grip and shakes a little harder, "Izuku!" Shouta says louder.

This time, a groan followed by a whimper escapes Izuku. Shouta would have sighed in relief if it wasn't for the noise Izuku was making.

"Izuku? Kid, are you with me?" Shouta asks softly.

Izuku barely opens his eyes to look at him before closing them again. He weakly starts reaching for something on the table- the pills.

Shouta gently takes Izuku's hand and begins to massage it, "No more. I don't know how many you took, and I don't want you overdoing it."

Izuku curls up more as his gasping picks up. He softly slurs, "Please."

"I'm sorry, kid. Unless you remember how many you took and tell me, you can't have any more for a bit." While Shouta may be against giving the kid pills, he would love nothing more than to just give him something just so the kid can sleep. He heard it was bad, but he didn't realize how bad.

Sobs start racking Izuku's form as he speaks up, "Please!"

"Oh, kid." Shouta can't handle it anymore.

Shouta stands up for a moment before sitting down on the bed and adjusting himself to lay beside Izuku. Then, he pulls the boy to his chest and starts running his fingers through his hair. Izuku practically clings to Shouta as the sobs just seem to get louder and louder.

Shouta just holds Izuku, trying to comfort him to the best of his abilities.

Shouta has no clue how long it takes, but, eventually, Izuku passes out. He sighs, looking at the kid. After that mess, there was no way in hell he was leaving his side. He pulls out his phone to text who he needs to text and ask for supplies as well. He then puts his phone away and gets more comfortable.

"Get better soon, kid."

Author's Notes

I decided not to put too much into it since Izuku is literally going to sleep it off. No use pulling shit out of my ass. I think this is angsty enough. However, I now want fluff fluff, so thanks to the person who gave me the idea to write this.

Maybe I'll write fluff tonight. Not sure. Probably not, but we'll see.
