Oh brother, we'll go deeper than the ink
Beneath the skin of our tattoos
Though we don't share the same blood
You're my brother and I love you that's the truth

Kodaline - Brother

____

Aizawa Izuku very much wishes he was at some other place than here. When he had promised Neito that he would talk it out with his brothers, he had not meant for it to be this soon. He had wanted to get his thoughts together first, to figure what he was going to say and how. To think of what he was going to ask his brothers.

This, this was not it.

Being cornered by your brothers in the hallway after school, only to be dragged to their parents on-campus apartment was nowhere in his carefully crafted plan. Here he was, stubbornly turning his back on his brothers, knowing it would irritate them, yet also knowing that they wouldn't do anything. Not now, anyway.

He was so tempted to also take out his hearing aids, but he knows that would be crossing the line, and as of right now, they really didn't need any more reasons to fight. No matter how reluctant he was to speak with them, he knew this was an issue that need to be sorted out as soon as possible.

Without any physical disagreements involved this time, and it seemed as if he wasn't the only one who's had that thought.

"Come one, Izuku. Please, just stop being childish and look at us," said Katsuki. That made Izuku turn so fast, an affronted look on his face. "Excuse me?" asked Izuku, voice rising slightly in tone, standing up to get into his brother's face.

Katsuki also took a step closer to Izuku, both getting into the other's face, ready for things to get physical, only to be stopped by Shoto, who stepped between the two of them and pushing them away from each other. The look on his face gave way to the fact that he was not happy with the two's antics and was all too willing to freeze them where they stood.

"Enough, the both of you. This will never be resolved if you just keep finding things to fight about!" he said, voice loud with a scolding tone in it. Hitoshi just sighed, tired of this whole interaction already.

"Guys, please. Remember the last time this type of thing happened? We were stuck in those shirts forever, and precisely because of you two who could not stop fucking bickering for the life of you!" Hitoshi said, voice rising at the end into yelling. At that, all four of their faces contorted into one of somehow both fear and disgust, scared to be trapped in that, that abomination again.

1 Year and 3 Months Ago

It is a universal known that all siblings fight. Blood or not. They fight. It is also then up to their parents to deal with it as they see fit.

Aizawa Izuku doesn't like to be punished. He hates to be called into his parent's room or office, with them wearing that look on their face that just screams you're done.

So yes, Izuku, like any other child in the world, hates to be discipline. Yet, to be honest, he would rather choose that, then whatever this is.

Currently, he was stuck with his brothers because of a stupid shirt. Dad calls it the "Get Along Shirt". He hated it. 

"I don't understand why we need this stupid thing! We get along fucking fine!" Katsuki yelled, struggling from within the restriction of the shirt. Shoto sat unbothered, eating his soba, all the while dodging the flailing arms and jabbing elbows of his brothers.

Hitoshi sighed, using what little mobility he has to pinch the space between his arms. Izuku was fucking growling, for heaven's sake, trying to chew through the fabric of the shirt for the umptieth time, Hitoshi has honestly lost count by now.

"Would you guys please quit it. This, this right here is the reason we are still stuck in this stupid situation!" he said, exasperation and irritation making itself known in his voice at the end. When he looked up, Izuku had literal spit running down his mouth. 

"Izuku, enough! You are acting like a feral fucking cat right now," Hitoshi yelled, honestly just so done with his brothers shit.

And Izuku?

The little bitch fucking hissed at him!

"That is 20 more minutes for you, Problem Children!" came the shout from up stares. All you could hear for the next 5 seconds was loud groaning.

Present

"Yeah no, let's not have a repeat of that," Katsuki said, and as one, they all looked towards the direction of where the cursed shirt was stored, horrified looks mirrored on all of their faces.

Finally, Shoto sighed, before looking back at Izuku and speaking, "Please Izuku, can we just talk? Please?". Reluctantly, Izuku gave in, turning to face his brothers so that they could work this out.

It did not go well...

" Excuse me? The fuck you mean this is a misunderstanding?! You, all three of you stood back and watched as they ruined my life! You let allowed them to make me miserable, to ruin me more than I already am! I can't even look at myself anymore without feeling disgusted," Izuku yelled, voice breaking ever so slightly.

"You want me to believe that you didn't know as your friends made it their life's mission to ruin the only thing for me that I took pride in? I went from top of the class to dead fucking last, for fuck's sake! My school record is ruined with detentions and warnings. I am on the verge of being expelled because of them! But you didn't know?" By now, Izuku was crying, almost hyperventilating. Thinking about what they had done and the consequences, not to them but to him, had him upset all over again.

"We didn't know, Izuku! Fuck's sake, haven't you noticed how we were actively avoiding the class? We have been sticking with you, or trying to since you kept fucking disappearing! In class? Concentrated on the fact that you were just continuously staring out into space for who knows how long, and that the periods of time it happened just kept getting longer! Break? If we weren't tracking you down, we would sit in dad's classroom for the break, trying to come up with ways to figure out what to do, lately it was to figure what we did wrong, so we could fix it! " Shoto yelled, finally having found the end of his infinite patience.

"It has been you, these past weeks Izuku. Our lives were revolving around you, so to make sure you don't do something as stupid as landing yourself in the hospital! You think I want to burry my younger brother at the age of fucking fifteen? I am not telling you this to guilt trip you or something, I just need you to realize that we would never do something as atrocious as turning our backs on family and making you miserable," Hitoshi continued where Shoto had left off. 

By the end of it, all four boys had either tears running down their faces or suspiciously wet eyes. 

" 'Zuku, we would always love you and stand by your side. You could be the world's most dangerous villain and we could be tasked with taking you down, but we would still pick your side, okay?" Katsuki said, walking closer to Izuku and taking him into his arms, hugging him. Izuku recuperated the hug, wrapping his arms around Katsuki's middle, snuggling his head into the crook of the blonde's neck.

" Does that mean I'm given the okay to switch over to villainy?" Izuku asked innocently, looking up at his brother expectantly. That earned him a pinch in the side, making him squeal and trying and failing to escape the older's grasp. The others just laughed at him Katsuki smirking down at him knowingly. "Don't push your luck, you brat," Katsuki replied, making Izuku giggle softly.

It stays peaceful like that for a few more minutes, Izuku receiving hugs from all of his brothers, before ending in 'Suki's arms again. Of course, Izuku being, well, the oblivious person that he is, just had to go ruin it.

 " Now's probably not a good time to mention that the class targeted my scars, huh?" Izuku asked. 

Yeah, that evening was anything but peaceful.
