Summary:
After a quiet student at U.A. hides signs of abuse at home, Aizawa and Hizashi begin to notice something’s wrong. What starts as a routine check-in turns into a life-changing rescue, and over time, the two heroes become more than teachers—they become family. This is the story of how a traumatized teen found safety, healing, and a home. And how Class 1-A finally learned the truth… three years later.
Part I: What They Didn't See Until Now
It started with a bruise.
Not a flashy one. Just a yellowed patch near your wrist that your hoodie couldn’t quite hide.
Aizawa noticed it first.
“[Y/N], stay after class.”
Your stomach dropped.
After the classroom emptied, you stayed in your seat, quiet and still. Hizashi entered through the side door, his usual vibrant energy toned down to something more grounded. They knew.
Aizawa didn’t waste time. “I saw the bruises. Not just today. This isn’t training-related, is it?”
You hesitated.
Then whispered: “It’s my father.”
The silence in the room shifted—no longer heavy with tension, but with promise.
“You’re not going back there,” Aizawa said. “You’ll stay under school supervision for now.”
Hizashi crouched beside you, his voice low and kind. “You’re not in this alone anymore, okay?”
You cried—quietly, helplessly—and they stayed with you.
You weren’t alone anymore.
Part II: Home Isn’t Blood
The first night in staff housing, Hizashi made you cocoa and let you pick a movie (he cried more than you did). Aizawa didn’t hover, but he made sure you knew where everything was and told you there were no locks on the doors—you didn’t need them anymore.
Weeks passed.
Then came the paperwork.
“We want to adopt you,” Hizashi said one evening, sliding a manila folder across the table.
You stared. “Me?”
Aizawa nodded. “You’re already family. This just makes it official.”
Your voice cracked. “You’re sure?”
Hizashi reached out, not touching, just steady. “Positive.”
The tears came fast that night, but for once, they weren’t lonely.
They were safe.
Part III: The Volume of Silence
Three months later, you were mid-simulation when it happened.
“YEAHHHH!!” Hizashi’s voice exploded through the field—amplified, enthusiastic, and totally unfiltered.
You dropped to your knees.
Your chest closed in. Ears ringing. Flashbacks blurring reality into something too loud, too close.
You couldn’t breathe.
Aizawa got to you first. “You’re safe,” he said softly. “You’re not there. You’re with us.”
Hizashi froze behind him, horrified. “I—I didn’t know—”
“It’s okay,” Aizawa said firmly. “Just stay calm. They need space.”
You shook for several minutes, unable to speak, curled in on yourself.
Eventually, you whispered, “I hate yelling. I can’t—my brain just—”
“You don’t owe us an explanation,” Aizawa said, kneeling nearby. “But we’ll help you through it.”
“I scared you,” Hizashi said. “I’m sorry, kiddo. I’ll never shout around you again. Promise.”
You nodded, trembling. “Okay.”
They didn’t leave your side until your heartbeat slowed.
Not once.
Part IV: The Quiet Things That Changed Everything
Graduation day was loud, but this time, you didn’t mind.
You stood with Class 1-A, diploma in hand, dressed in your formal U.A. uniform. The crowd was a blur of smiles and celebration.
“Hey, [Y/N]!” Kirishima waved. “Can your folks take our photo?”
Without thinking, you pointed to the edge of the field.
“My dads can,” you said. “They’ll get a good angle.”
Silence.
“Your what now?” Kaminari asked, blinking.
You turned back, confused. “My dads? Aizawa and Hizashi?”
The entire class stared at you.
“YOU’VE BEEN LIVING WITH THEM?!” Mina screamed.
“They adopted me after first year,” you said casually. “Didn’t I mention that?”
“NO, YOU DID NOT,” Sero wheezed.
“Wait—who’s ‘Dad’ and who’s ‘Pops’?” Kaminari demanded.
“Hizashi’s Dad. Aizawa’s Pops.”
“OF COURSE HE’S POPS,” Mina cried.
The laughter was so loud, the camera nearly shook when Aizawa (stoic) and Hizashi (beaming) joined you in the center of the group.
As the picture snapped, you felt a quiet warmth in your chest—an anchor.
Your name was on a diploma, your cap was tucked under your arm, and your family stood at your side.
The kind you chose.
The kind who chose you.
