Chapter 1
Izuku woke up gasping. Something was wrong. He looked around his room, surprised to find it empty. Wait. . . Empty? Since when was his room empty? Scared he walked towards the door. Walking through the hallway shouldn't have been so scary, but it was. After what felt like an eternity but was really just a few seconds, he turned towards the kitchen. He was surprised to find a letter on the kitchen counter. A letter? He opened it.
From Mom,
Dear Izuku, I am really sorry for this.
I just couldn't take it anymore. The bullying-
He stopped reading. This had already happened. This wasn't right. This had already happened.
He woke up gasping for air.
"You're alright, everything is going to be okay." He heard a deep voice say.
Shouto. His brain supplied.
"Shouto. Shouto please- I-"
"Hey, it's okay. It's alright. Everything is going to be okay. I'm here." Shouto continued to mutter reassurances to him for what felt like ages for Izuku, but in reality was only a few minutes. "Do you wanna go tell your dads? I'm sure they would be able to find a way to help you." Asked Shouto, a little worried for Izuku.
"Yes, please." Sniffled Izuku.
As they walked through the corridors of the house, the were silent. The only sound were their breathing and their cats walking around the house. Bastard (Dad had named him, because papa could come up with better names.) was walking next to Izuku, almost as if he could sense something was wrong. Izuku had watched a documentary about cats recently, and only now realised how fascinating cats were. Soon, Shouto and Izuku were in front of a door. His parents' door. Izuku knocked and waited for a few seconds. Inside, could be heard a faint grunt, and footsteps walking towards the door.
Shouto looked at Izuku, and Izuku nodded. Shouto then started walking towards their bedroom. A few seconds later, the door opens, and a very tired Shouta was standing in front of the door. Shouta (Or dad, he went by both.) looked at the tear marks on Izuku's cheeks and invited him in without a word.
"I had a nightmare again." Started Izuku.
"It's okay. You know we will protect you." Said dad, glancing at a soundly asleep Hizashi.
"I know. . " Said Izuku unsurely. He didn't really though, because - as much as it hurt to say this, - he still didn't completely trust his parents. He did trust them a lot, yeah, he did, but not completely. He could never be sure if they were going to abandon him again.
