4:55am
When Shoto woke again, he couldn't help but gasp at the heat. He was so so warm. Aizawa and Hizashi, who had been discussing violent ways to murder Endeavor, were at his side in a instant.
Shoto pushed back the blanket that had been placed over him, and let his eyes adjust to the lighting.
"C'mon. You need a drink." Aizawa coaxed softly. He helped the teen sit up, and then handed him a glass of water.
Hizashi sat on the sofa beside him, as Shoto drank small sips. Aizawa sat on the other side, ready to take the glass back. Eventually Shoto was done, and gave the glass back to Aizawa.
"How do you feel?" Hizashi asked gently.
"Bad." Shoto croaked, his voice barely above a whisper. Hizashi placed a hand on his forehead, noting the searing heat.
It was still dark, being early morning. A dim light was on, and Shoto could make out Yuki on Aizawa's lap. The cat opened it's blue eyes and crawled over to the teen. Shoto buried a hand in her fur, relishing in the comfort it brought.
"Looks like we won't be doing much today." Hizashi chuckled lightly.
"Mhm." Aizawa agreed. He picked up the TV remote, and began switching through channels, before stopping on a nature documentary. None of the trio would normally watch that stuff, but they were all tired.
The living room was basked in soft blue light from the television. Shoto rested his head on Aizawa's shoulder, who took to running his hand through the teen's damp hair; he was sweating a lot.
The fever made it difficult for Shoto to rest, so he settled on watching the nature documentary. It was about tropical reefs.
Aizawa could feel the familiar tug of sleep pull at him, but being both a teacher and a pro hero, he could stay up all night easily. Anyway, he needed to stay awake incase Shoto's fever spiked again.
Hizashi was a different story. His head was leaned back against the sofa, blonde hair sprawled around him. Quiet snores could be heard.
Aizawa glanced down at Shoto. The teen's eyes were bright with fever, and he had a flush across his nose. All in all, he looked very unwell.
Suddenly, Shoto pulled himself from Aizawa's arms, standing up on shaky legs.
"Shoto, where are yo-" Aizawa began.
Shoto bolted. He ran down the hallway and into the bathroom.
Aizawa was quick to follow, racing after the teen. He found him in the bathroom, slumped over the toilet. He had thrown up, and was shaking uncontrollably.
"Shit kid." The ravenette whispered, kneeling beside Shoto. He brushed back the two toned hair from the younger's sweaty face.
"This s-sucks." Shoto choked out.
"I know, I know." Aizawa drew Shoto in for a hug. It was likely Shoto's quirk made getting sick terrible for him, thanks to it being temperature based.
Hizashi, who had been woken up by the commotion, promptly joined the hug. After a few minutes, Shoto went limp in their hold, having passed out again.
Aizawa scooped him up, walking back to the sofa and pulling a blanket over the youngest male.
When sleep came to the two adults, they were both on the floor, heads resting against the sofa.

8:27am
Shoto felt much better next time he woke up. It wasn't unbearably hot anymore, though his headache was still present.
Hizashi stirred with a groan, grinning when he saw Shoto awake.
"I'll go make you some food, Shoto." The blonde whispered enthusiastically.
Shoto was just about to point out Hizashi's distinct lack of culinary skills, when Aizawa spoke up.
"You are not cooking." The ravenette growled, hauling himself up and striding into the kitchen.
Hizashi laughed cheerfully, before sitting next to Shoto.
"How are you feeling now?"
"A lot better." Shoto gave him a tired smile. "Though I would really like a shower."
"You can have one then! Just be sure to be done within 20 minutes!"
14 minutes later
When Shoto emerged from the bathroom, the two adults were seated at the kitchen island.
"If only you could shower as quick as Shoto." Aizawa grumbled, sending a heated glare in Hizashi's direction. The blonde had been known to take showers lasting up to two hours.
"Hey! I have long hair. It takes longer to wash!" Hizashi protested.
"So do I. And I don't take as long as you." Aizawa retorted.
"You shower once a month." Hizashi chuckled.
"No, I don't! I shower when your asleep." Aizawa returned.
"Right." Hizashi said sarcastically. Shoto slid into the room taking a seat next to Aizawa.
"Are you feeling up for some food?" Aizawa asked him.
"I can try." Shoto offered. He was feeling less sweaty after his shower, which was always an improvement.
Not that he wasn't used to being sticky with sweat- thanks to Endeavor's gruelling amount of training. Not to mention being sticky with blood-
Nope, Shoto was not thinking about that today. Or ever. He wouldn't have to go back to Endeavor every again.
Or would he? What if they lost the court case? Would he have to go back? Would Aizawa and Hizashi let him go back? But they couldn't win against the No.1 hero, could they?
"Shoto, Shoto. You're okay." Hizashi pulled the teen into a hug, seeing him looked distressed. Aizawa was instantly concerned, resting a palm on Shoto's shoulder.
"What's wrong, kid?" The ravenette asked gently.
"W-what if you l-loose the court case? W-will I have t-to go back?" Shoto questioned into Hizashi's orange jumper. His voice was trembling and stuttering, and laced with fear.
"There is no way in hell we'll loose." Aizawa said firmly.
"And we will do everything possible to ensure you never ever have to go back." Hizashi added.
"Thank you." Shoto pulled away from Hizashi, looking down at his breakfast and sighing. "Sorry, I don't mean to keep freaking out like that."
"It's okay. It's perfectly normal in your situation." Aizawa reassured.
"Now let's eat!" Hizashi looked hungrily at his food.

The rest of Friday passed happily. They played board games, introduced Shoto to sweets and played with Yuki. Hizashi even began teaching the teen how to play the guitar.
Before he knew it, Shoto found himself lying in bed at 9:46pm. Hizashi and Aizawa were in the living room, watching some sort of show.
Shoto turned on his phone, only to discover a plethora of messages from the Dekusquad group chat.
IzukuMidoriya
I've heard the court date for Endeav*r is next Monday.
IidaTenya
Why are you censoring Endeavor?
UrarakaOchacko
Because his name is now a bad word!
IidaTenya
I see. I hope Shoto is not stressing too much about the court date.
IzukuMidoriya
Aizawa-Sensei told me he is not going. He'll be coming back with us to the dorms for the afternoon.
IidaTenya

ShotoTodoroki
Yup.
Yuki was curled up beside him beside him, nuzzling his hand. She purred affectionately when he stroked her.
ShotoTodoroki
I got a cat. She's called Yuki.
He quickly sent them all a picture of her.
UrarakaOchacko

ShotoTodoroki

Goodnight!
UrarakaOchacko
Sweet dreams
IidaTenya
Make sure to get atleast 8 hours of sleep. As heroes in training it is beneficial, as it-
Shoto turned of his phone before he could read the rest of Iida's rant. He soon fell asleep, curled up with Yuki.
11:12pm
The two adults were on their way to bed when they decided to check on Shoto. They smiled at seeing him curled up with the siamese cat.
"Yuki is really helping him." Aizawa remarked.
"Agreed. Let's go to bed, Shouta." Hizashi dragged his spouse away, not wanting to wake up Shoto.
Hopefully the rest of their weekend went smoothly.
