Work Text:
Hizashi Yamada is sitting in the staff room marking some English homework he set for class 2-A. He glances over at the clock on his computer screen reading 4:03pm, he sighs as he begins to pack the unmarked pile into his bag then takes a sip of his green tea, emptying the cup. He gets up, says goodnight to his coworkers and makes his way to the door. As he reaches for the handle, the door abruptly slams open. Shouta Aizawa stood across from him, a dark glare painted across his face.
“Sho-” he stammers in surprise, but quickly recovers with a laugh, “i was just just about to go find you.”
“Let’s go,” Shouta says bluntly, swiftly grabbing Hizashi’s wrist and dragging him to the exit. He stumbled but soon regained his footing and adjusted Shouta’s grip so they were now holding hands. They briskly made their way to Hizashi’s car, they got in their assigned spots, Shou in the passenger seat, Zashi in the driver’s. He gripped onto the steering wheel and glanced over to Shouta noting his tense posture, shoulders hunched, fists clenched, leg shaking, he decided to put on a soft smile and kiss Sho gently on the cheek and start the car and make their way home.
The ride was quiet aside from the radio and Hizashi softly humming the tunes to the songs, he noticed Sho relax slightly to his hums so smiled and continued. After a while, he drove into their apartment block’s parking lot and they got out of the car, Shouta immediately went to hold Hizashi’s hand as they made their way into and up the stairs of their building. He grabbed the keys from his pocket and unlocked the door to their home. Right as he shut the door, he heard his partner sigh heavily and felt him reach around his torso. Hizashi wrapped his arms around the slightly shorter man and gave him a soft kiss on his forehead, “Rough day, huh?” he said as he raised one hand to stroke Shouta’s hair, he nodded softly. “That fucking problem child, Midoriya, hes reckless, too reckless. He got injured again during training. He’s just like-” he stopped himself before he could finish his sentence, “forget it, sorry im just tired.” Hizashi’s eyes widened slightly but quickly his face softened in understanding, he moved his hands and cupped Shouta’s face gently. “Hey Sho, let’s get changed out of our costumes then you go take a seat, cuddle with the cats, i’ll make us some food and you some coffee, and we can chill out, just us, until it's time for your patrol, s’that cool?” He quickly removed the directional speakers around his neck then the pair went to their bedroom to change into more comfortable clothing. He guided Shouta to the sofa and sat him down, the two cats immediately getting the message and made their way towards him. Rumple, the grey cat with a scar over his right eye, curled up by shouta’s head at the top of the sofa and Quake, the fat ginger cat, strutted over to his lap and made biscuits on his thigh before curling into a ball on top of him.
Hizashi smiled softly and made his way to the small kitchen and filled the kettle all the way up and put it on to boil. He set up two mugs, one with a green tea bag, the other with two teaspoons of instant coffee. He opened a cupboard and selected his and Shouta’s preferred flavours of cup noodles and opened them up in wait for the kettle to boil. A minute later the kettle dinged and he picked it up, filling the cup noodles first, then his tea and then Sho’s coffee, he let them steep and mixed the coffee. He then brought the drinks over and put them on the coffee table, taking a look at Shouta snuggling with the cats, he smiled as he returned to the kitchen to mix the noodles, add the seasoning and sauce, then returns to Shouta with the noodles and two sets of chopsticks in hand. He smiles softly and takes a seat next to Shouta who has already grabbed his coffee and is taking soft sips. He waits for him to put down his drink before passing him the freshly made food. “Home-made noodles just for you, dear!” Hizashi beams.
Sho chuckles lightly, “Thanks ‘Zashi," he takes a big slurp of his food as Hizashi does the same, giggling as he eats, nearly causing himself to choke on the noodles. He picks up the tv remote and puts on some shitty reality tv show that they both secretly love. While they drank and ate, Hizashi reacted loudly to the show, almost commentating what was going on and Shouta making comments occasionally, predicting what would happen, both of them gossiping about the relationships and the cats purring softly. Hizashi relieved tension he didn't even know he was holding as he noticed Sho’s mood lightened, both men’s faces holding soft smiles.
They finished their food at roughly the same time and put their cups on the coffee table, they still have a long time until Shouta’s patrol starts so Hizashi stands up and grabs Quake, holding him securely in one arm and holds a hand out for Shou to take, which he does after a second or two. He leads him to their shared bedroom and places the ginger cat onto the bed then Hizashi slides into the bed, patting the spot next to him. Shouta takes the hint and gets in next to his partner who immediately scooped him into a hug, “i want you to rest alright, Sho?”, he set around twelve alarms on his phone from 12 to 12:45am, “i've set alarms, they’ll blast full volume so you're sure to wake up, and wake me up too in case i don't hear them, i wanna see you off, got it? Good!” he smiles, quickly takes off his hearing aids and cuddles closer to him, giving him a soft kiss, he whispers, “I love you Sho.”
“I love you too ‘Zashi.”
They slept peacefully for a few hours, aside from Hizashi’s loud snoring, until the loud alarms went off, waking Shouta up instantly yet Hizashi was still fast asleep. So, he decided to get up, change into his hero costume, do his usual pre-patrol stretching routine and then make a big cup of coffee. As he drinks, he looks through some cases he’s been working on to refresh the information in his mind then he returns to the bedroom and gently shakes Hizashi’s shoulder to wake him up. The blonde groggily opens his eyes and smiles at his partner who begins to sign, ‘I'm about to leave for patrol’. Hizashi scrambles up and out of bed, quickly grabbing his hearing aids and putting them back on, “you feeling any better after earlier, sho?” He smiles softly, “as good as I can be considering patrol is going to be exhausting but that’ll never change. Walk me to the door?” Hizashi smiles back and stands dramatically, he bows and holds his hand out for Aizawa to take. Once he does, they walk to the exit, hands entwined, attempting to avoid the wrath of Rumple’s ankle biting but once they arrive Hizashi cups Shouta’s face with both hands softly, and pulls him in to kiss his nose softly and then his lips, “stay safe tonight, yeah?” Sho wraps his hands around Zashi’s waist and kisses him back “I’ll do my best.” Their grip tightens on each other for a split second before they detach and Shouta is off and out the door with his capture scarf in tow, prepared for another night on the streets.
