Fic Idea #9 DADMIC
Before the implementation of the dorms, Midoriya Inko gets caught up in a villain fight and ends up severely injured, going into a coma. UA needs to quickly decide how to handle Izuku’s custody, as he’s been repetitively targeted by villains, and placing him with a regular family is extremely dangerous for his safety.
Yamada, sleep deprived and not thinking clearly, volunteers to be Izuku’s temporary guardian. Aizawa tries to point out that Mic has three fucking jobs and rarely sleeps as is, but the radio host brushes off his concerns. That’s what coffee’s for, silly!
(Aizawa hates that this man is such a high-functioning insomniac. That’s not supposed to be possible, the asshole.)
Anyways a week into the temporary guardianship, Mic walks into the teacher’s lounge with black bags under his eyes that are unfortunately impossible to hide with foundation and sunglasses, and sit Nemuri and Aizawa next to each other. They both believe they know what Mic is about to say, but are shocked to hear the man ask them “how weird it would be to wake up from a coma and have a pro hero ask for dual custody of your son.”
Both Midnight and Aizawa 100% thought Mic was going to cave and ask for help. The man bullies students like it’s his lifeblood. He looks like he’s been run over by a truck. What on earth did Midoriya do?
(The answer is both Yamada and Midoriya sat through the entire weekend going through their analysis books and comparing notes and having in-depth conversations about the Hero Industry, media, police and hero brutality, support gear, villain psychology, propaganda, and other topics. They did not sleep more than three hours total that weekend.)
(Hizashi is secretly grateful because he usually drinks himself into a permanent hangover on Sundays, and Izuku kept him from spiraling into bad thoughts the entire time.)
