Secrets

"Hitoshi are you sure he's still here?" Aizawa asked as he looked around. They finally decided to adopt their son's best friend, but he was nowhere in sight.

"I'm going to look around, I'm sure he's in his room." He turned to Shinso to keep him with them but he was already gone.

This place was even worse from the last time they got here. He knew that Midoriya lived there since he was five and he regretted not adopting him sooner. He just hoped that he wouldn't be too much of a problem child.

When he was given Midoriya's file he knew that this would be far from easy.

Apparently he was abused from his father, the mother didn't help very much and she died in a fire one year after Izuku was diagnosed quirkless. The kid didn't have any other relatives so he was put up for adoption.

He did get adopted before, even put in two different foster families, but they all gave him back after a short time. Saying that he was aggressive, that he snuck out every night, stole stuff and acted like he was possessed.

Shinso said that he used to talk alone and that he had lots of imaginary friends. Maybe that was just his way to cope with loneliness, and honestly who could blame him.

Hizashi was pretty excited about adopting another kid. Hitoshi did say that Izuku was friendly and very talkative, he couldn't wait to chat with the little listener.

Shota gave him and Hitoshi the the task of preparing the spare room for Midoriya, and it was the best thing ever.

They knew that he was a fan of heroes so they decorated a bit with posters and hero merchandise, Hizashi even put a little Present Mic plushie on his bed! They all hoped that the kid would like his new room.

Hitoshi actually got to see his best friend briefly, he saw him get out of his room with damp hair dressed in training clothes. He noticed that Izuku had fresh bruises behind his neck and wondered how he got them.

Maybe he saw him or something because he quickly turned in his direction, but he hid just in time for him to drop it and leave.

As he returned to the common room where is parents were talking to the caretakers he heard a voice yell "Hey! I'm going out!!" and a door slamming. Was that Izuku? He saw a man run to the door and open it but there was no one outside.

He saw his parents looking at him with a questioning look "I guess that was Izuku"

"Yes that was him" the man that run to the door interrupted "are you sure that you want to adopt him? He's a thug. He always gets in trouble and runs away just like now. He was even brought back by a police officer once."

Aizawa and Hizashi signed the adoption form just after the talk that the caretaker gave them. If he was trying to make them change idea that only convinced them more.

They were told that they could come and pick Izuku up the next morning.

"This place sucks. But at least this is his last night here" Aizawa said pretty annoyed, how did that caretaker even dare to insult his new kid like that.

~*~*~*~*~

"Hey freak, you got adopted. Pack your stuff and be ready for tomorrow morning. Don't come back here."

Izuku was shocked. What the hell is happening. Man we're finally leaving this shitty place! ..we shouldn't get too excited, I'm sure we will be brought back in a month or two he said that but he was actually pretty happy, even though it was going to be a nuisance and he will have to rearrange his schedule.

He went to his room and began packing the few things he had. That night he actually slept well, he dreamt of his mother.

He didn't think about her often, and obviously didn't dream about her. In that dream she told him that he might finally be happy.

He woke up with tears streaming from his eyes but he felt good. He got up and went to take a shower, wore his best clothes and went to the common room with his bag. He was drinking a glass of milk when two grown men showed up, he looked at them curiously.

He realised who they were and started choking, then he saw a worried purple haired kid come towards him from between them and he literally got milk up his nose. Eraserhead, Present Mic AND his friend Hitoshi "WHAT THE FUCK?!"

"Well isn't that a nice reaction" said Shinso with a smirk on his face "did you miss me?" The greenette in front of him suddenly got up and jumped on him, hugging him tightly.

Hitoshi felt his shoulder getting slightly damp and he hugged his friend back. He saw Hizashi smile at them sweetly "welcome to the family little listener!"

Izuku stared at them dumbly "say sike right now. This can't be true"

Shota snickered a little and ruffled his hair "well you're coming home with us, problem child. Im Aizawa Shota, feel free to call me Shota... or dad."

The kid looked at him with sparkling eyes, Hitoshi never saw him this happy. "Is this all your stuff?" Hizashi picked up his bag. He swore he saw like three masks in there, maybe the kid liked collecting them "we could do a little shopping one of this days"

They went to their car, Izuku looking outside the window with his head on Hitoshi's shoulder. He didn't realise he was so touch starved until he hugged his friend.

Maybe mom was right... the guys in his head were screaming and a migraine was starting but he didn't really mind. He couldn't believe that heroes wanted to adopt him and that he would be living with his best friend, he just hoped that it would last.

Izu-chan you remember that we have an appointment tonight right? Can't let my clients wait~

"Shit."

A/N
We didn't hear much from his "imaginary friends" huh Daeril and Ryker are not the only one there. I need to clarify that the "squeaky playful voice" that tried to comfort izuku while he was thinking about shinso in the last chapter, and that spoke at the end of this chapter, doesn't belong to Ryker.

I hope you enjoyed :3
