Aizawa Shouta, also known as the pro-hero Eraserhead, was tired. He had just finished teaching at UA for the day, and he was ready to sleep until dusk, when he would go out to do his patrols. But of course, it had to snow that day, making it that much harder for him to get back to his cave.
Hizashi had offered to drive him there, but he declined. Hizashi was a daylight hero, so he needed to be patroling in the daytime, and plus, it would seem strange if someone saw Hizashi drive him out into the middle of the woods. It would risk someone else finding out his secret, and Aizawa was perfectly fine with only Hizashi, Nemuri, and Tensei knowing.
So, Aizawa walked out to the edge of the forest, and once he was sure no one was watching, he forced his pitch black wings to sprout from his back, and took off, flying over the snow covered forest. It was a bit difficult to fly in the cold weather, but he could manage it. He did it every winter, after all.
As he flew over the forest, he picked up on a scent any dragon would recognize. A Treasure. Now, Aizawa didn't normally pick up Treasures. It felt wrong to do so. After all, they were people, not some object to be added to a dragon's hoard. He didn't ever stop when he smelled one, because there wasn't really a point in it if he wasn't going to bring them back to his cave.
But this case was.. different. He changed directions, flying towards the smell rather than his cave.
Winter had started. Humans weren't supposed to sacrifice Treasures during the winter, as they could die of hypothermia if they weren't careful. Meaning that this one had been out in the woods for a while now, and probably didn't have the right gear to keep warm in the cold enviornment.
Aizawa landed only a few feet away from the Treasure, and what he saw was... horrifying. Not because of anything particullarly scary, but rather because of the conditions the Treasure was in.
A small, ten year old child sat in a hole in a snow pile that looked vaugely like a cave. The kid wore nothing more than a t-shirt, shorts, and bright red sneakers. He looked to be malnurished, and he was shivering violentely.
"Shit." Was the first thing he said when he saw the kid, before rushing over to him. The kid looked like he might have flinched, but it was hard to tell with how much he was shivering.
"Can you stand?" Aizawa asked, and the kid shook his head. Aizawa grunted in response, and walked up to the kid, picking him up. The kid seemed surprised by this, so Aizawa figured he should explain. "I'm taking you back to my cave, kid."
"H-huh? B-b-b-but I-I-I'm qu-quirkless?" Was the kid's reply, and Aizawa couldn't tell if the stutter was from the cold, or from nervousness. Maybe it was both.
Aizawa had already started flying again when he said it, and probably expected him to land and leave the kid behind once he had said it. However, Aizawa continued on his flight, as he replied with, "And you are also a malnurished child with hypothermia. I'm not going to just leave you out in the cold."
The kid didn't respond, instead snuggling closer to Aizawa, probably an attempt to warm himself up with Aizawa's body heat. Unlike reptiles, dragons were actually warm blooded, well, at least in their more human forms.
They got there faster than Aizawa normally would, as he had been flying faster than usual. He need to get this kid warmed up and fed.
Aizawa brought the kid into the main room of the cave, which was much warmer than the outside due to both magic, and the fire place. (Mostly the fireplace, Aizawa wasn't very good at magic.) The kid didn't stop shivering, which Aizawa had expected - it would take a while for him to warm up again.
He sat the kid down on the floor, telling him to wait there before going into one of his (small) hoard rooms to get a blanket for the kid. He only had the hoard of blankets and pillows because it was required by the Dragon Law, but now he was glad he did.
He gave the kid the blanket, a heavier one that would hopefully warm him up faster. "So, what's your name, kid?"
"M-Midoriya I-I-Izuku, s-sir! U-uhm, a-are y-y-you r-really g-g-gonna a-add me t-to y-your hoard...?" He said, a hopeful look in his eyes. Did this kid want to be part of a hoard? Was that an effect of the spell humans used to turn people into Treasures, or was that something specific to this kid?
"Well, I can't just send you back out there, and I'm not allowed to keep you here unless you're part of my hoard, so yes." As much as he didn't like the answer, it was the truth, and he wasn't going to lie to Midoriya about it, "I'm Aizawa Shouta."
Midoriya's nervous expression turned into a grin, "Th-thank you s-so m-much!" He didn't move from his position, his muscles probably were still a bit too weak from the cold.
Aizawa wasn't entirely sure how to respond to that, so instead he stood up, "I'm going to get you some food. Stay here."
Midoriya nodded obidently, and Aizawa went over to the kitchen, only to find that the only thing in it was his jelly packets, which, while he liked them, wouldn't be enough for a malnurished ten year old.
He grabbed one of the pouches anyways, and brought it out to Midoriya, who gratefully took the pouch. "Those are the only things we have right now, food wise, so I'm going to go buy some food. The empty hoard rooms are over there, so if you warm up enough before I get back, you can check them out to see which one you want to be your room. Okay?"
Midoriya nodded once more, already sucking on the jelly packet. When Aizawa was sure that it was safe for him to leave, he flew out of the cave, heading for Mutsutafu. While he'd rather not interact with people more than neccassary, and he knew he could hunt something down, he also knew that there was a chance he might not manage to catch something, and besides, he had more than enough shinies to buy enough food for a ten year old.
He used a simple spell to turn the shinies in his pocket to what they were worth in yen, and sent a text to the group chat he was in, asking what types of food he'd need for a ten year old human. They gave him a list of items, and asked what he needed it for, but he didn't respond. He wanted to get the items as quickly as possible so that way Midoriya would have something to eat sooner.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Aizawa returned to the cave, he had multiple bags of food, including cereal, different types of noodles, rice, fruits, vegtables, and a few different kinds of meat. He also had a bag with a hoodie and sweatpants in it, which he hoped were the right size for Midoriya. He would've gotten some snacks, too, but he didn't know what kind the kid liked, so he figured it could wait until he asked.
Midoriya was not in the main room of the cave when he returned, and neither was the blanket or jelly pouch. While Aizawa figured that Midoriya had probably went to check out the empty hoard rooms, he figured it would be best to check up on the kid. Besides, he needed to give the kid his new clothes. He set the bags down, apart from the one with the clothes in it, and went to go look for Midoriya.
It wasn't to hard to find him since he was a Treasure and Aizawa knew how to recognize the scent of one. He found the kid sitting in one of the larger hoard rooms, blanket wrapped around him and empty pouch in hand. "This the room you want?" Aizawa asked.
Midoriya nodded rapidly, "Y-Yeah!! If y-your okay with i-it, anyways..."
"It's fine. I don't use these rooms, and I told you that you could pick whichever one you wanted." Came Aizawa's reply. He set the bag down in front of Midoriya, "Here. I got you some warmer clothes. I'm not sure if they're your size, though. I'm going to start making dinner, is there anything in perticular that you want?"
"Uhm, c-could you make katsudon? I-It's my favourite.." Midoriya answered, pulling the bag closer to him.
"Alright. Come get me if you need anything."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Midoriya's outfit was a bit big on him, but it fit him well enough, so he had kept it on. Once they ate their dinner, Aizawa showed Midoriya how to make a nest of pillows and blankets in his room, which is what Midoriya would sleep in from now on. After all, dragons didn't use beds.
Not long after the nest was set up, Midoriya fell asleep in it, and Aizawa went out to do his nightly patrol.
A/N
So, a few things I wanna say.
1- Magic is a thing in this! It's very rare for humans to be able to preform magic, mostly dragons use it. There are some spells that humans are able to do, though, like the one to turn someone into a Treasure
2- Aizawa does still have his Erasure quirk. It's rare for dragons to have quirks, but it isn't impossible. Aizawa is one of the few dragons with a quirk
3- Aizawa is 25, and Izuku is 10
4- Shinies are basically anything shiny that a dragon would hoard. They can be transformed into any type of human currency, and human currency can be transformed into shinies
5- The cave does have lights in it, as well as kitchen appliences. Its all powered by magic.
6- Dragon Law is the rules that dragons set up, which all dragons are supposed to follow.
7- There can be multiple parts to a hoard, and each part is put in a different room. Parts are usually organized by what the contents are.
And that's all for now!
