Two very tiny mittens on his face was not what Hitoshi was expecting to wake up to.
No, seriously, he didn’t own a cat. Which was surprising, but he wanted to wait until things calmed down before he snuck one into the dorms and used it’s fluff to bribe Aizawa to get it to stay.
Soooo did a cat just magically pop up in his dorm room on it’s own-? Hm. He should probably actually open his eyes and look.
Ugh, he was so tired though.
One of the paws move to just barely cover his mouth and he inhales through his nose- yeah he can’t go back to sleep now.
He opens his eyes and comes face to face with a small green fluffball of a kitten and he immediately squints. This is Izuku. This is totally fucking Izuku.
How.
Izuku lets out a mew and takes his paws away from Hitoshi’s face, laying down on his chest instead and staring into the purple eyes in front of him.
The puffball blinks slowly.
Hitoshi blinks back.
Y’know what, he won’t question this.
Hitoshi goes back to sleep with the miniature heater resting on his chest and he’s completely and utterly fine with it.
He wakes up again much later in the day and takes Izuku with him down to the common area. He’s going down the stairs when he meets the eyes of another cat that’s so clearly his teacher.
Aizawa blinks up at him.
Hitoshi blinks back.
Yeah this makes a lot more sense now.
Sort of? Whatever, Hitoshi guesses everything is fine.
Hitoshi crouches down and places Izuku on the ground, watching in amusement as the kitten waddles his way over to the much bigger cat and headbutts against his leg all while purring deeply.
The cat version of his sensei lets out a huff, head leaning down and gently grabbing Izuku by the scruff. Izuku immediately goes still and allows himself to be picked up. Aizawa pads away from Hitoshi and to wherever, leaving the still sleep deprived boy to sigh and resign himself to getting breakfast. Or uh, dinner, probably. After all it was the weekend and he most definitely slept in.
Aizawa meanwhile ends up in his room where Hizashi lays down with his glasses on and a book in his hands. The blonde raises an eyebrow and places his book down to the side when Aizawa jumps and lands on his stomach, then proceeds to place Izuku gently down on his chest and blink at the man.
“...You can’t keep leaving him for others to babysit while you go out and stalk prey. We have cat food he can eat, Sho.” Hizashi immediately lectures when Aizawa tries to leave. It makes the large cat glare at him, but huff and lay down on the bed alongside his husband. He lazily watches as Izuku leans heavily into Hizashi’s hand that’s petting him, his little body vibrating with his purrs.
Aizawa grumbles out and lays a paw on Hizashi’s other hand, looking over to his husband and staring him dead in the eyes.
The blonde laughs and just starts petting him too, earning a content sigh from Aizawa. “Of course you’d want to be spoiled like this. Who knows when you’ll be able to turn into a cat again, hm?” Hizashi teases, scratching right behind Aizawa’s ear and earning a purr.
When Hizashi gets back to reading and (sadly) stops petting the two fluffs, Izuku gets restless. He’s already had a long nap with Hitoshi and now he had the energy of a- well, the energy of a kitten. He steps across Hizashi’s chest and almost falls off if Hizashi’s hand didn’t immediately come up and catch him. The blonde smirks when the green kitten mews in protest at being carried right now and squeaks when he’s deposited in Aizawa’s paws. He whines when he starts to get groomed on the top of his head, squirming in the bigger cat’s hold in an attempt to break free of the smothering.
Izuku lets out a particularly loud mew when his tummy gets groomed, it being a bit too ticklish for his liking- he attempts to push Aizawa’s face away with his paw and huffs when the big kitty just licks his tiny paws.
He’s not set free until Aizawa deems him clean enough and even then he’s picked up and placed back onto Hizashi’s chest.
Nuh-uh. He’s not staying there.
He immediately launches himself off of Hizashi’s chest and onto the other side of the bed, there he lets out a triumphed mew and dashes in a circle once.
Then, when seeing he’s not going to get chased or grabbed he does his healthy amount of zoomies across the bed.
At one point he runs right into Hizashi’s face, half knocking the glasses off of his head but really not caring that much. He proceeds to lightly smack Hizashi with his paw on the forehead in order to get a reaction. And that reaction is Hizashi blowing lightly onto Izuku’s face and poking his tiny mittens.
This earns another smack but to his nose, and it makes Hizashi snicker.
Silly Kitty.
“Do you want something to eat, lil fluffener?” Hizashi questions, voice laced with amusement. Izuku perks up and tilts his head at the man, one paw gently tapping his chin in response. “That’s a yes then. Alright, off the bed.” Hizashi scoops up the green fluff and pokes Aizawa to jump down. This earns an annoyed hiss despite the fact that he complies anyways.
Izuku’s paws stretch out while he’s carried to the kitchen and he lets out a pleased mew, feeling as if he was flying being held high up in the air.
It was adorable.
Hizashi wouldn’t mind dying from this sight, honestly.
He places Izuku on the countertop- something he’d never do for any of their actual cats and opens up one of the cabinets overhead. (After unlocking the baby lock that keeps the cats out, of course.) He takes out a can of wet food, or well, two cans. Hizashi glances down to Aizawa who’s staring up at him with his natural glare. The big cat looks to Izuku then back to Hizashi, expression almost questioning AND judgemental.
“Don’t look at me like that. Izuku is tiny and would never knock anything off the counters! He’s a good kitty.” Hizashi huffs, opening one of the cans and emptying it out into one of the cat bowls. “And if you’re looking at me to pick you up to put you with him, sorry hon but you’re way too big.”
This earns a grumbly meow, but Aizawa accepts his fate and just mrows for his own food to be handed to him with a paw swipe at Hizashi’s leg.
“Spoiled.” Is all Hizashi says while opening the other can. Izuku chows down on the wet food given to him, purring through each bite and clearly a happy kitty.
When both cats are fed and their stomachs full, Aizawa jumps up onto the counter and completely ignores his husband’s protests. He grabs Izuku by the scruff again and hops back down, padding off and leaving Hizashi to sigh fondly.
They were probably going to find a place to hide and nap.
Hizashi shakes his head with a smile, he never expected for Aizawa to ironically get hit by a cat quirk- his favorite animal of all things to turn into. But for Izuku to get hit too?
A perfect combination, especially when it came to taking pictures.
Now he could expose him for the cat dad he ACTUALLY was.
Ironic indeed.
(art by me! ^^)
