The song "Would You Fall In Love With Me Again?" From Epic: The Musical is literally just Shouta coming back from an undercover mission that genuinely rewired his brain, caused him to use his Licence To Kill, etc
The people he's been investigating have been busted and Hizashi is on the team that finds them, he sees Shouta; dirty, bloodied, bruised and beaten. His husband's eyes hold no semblance of the warmth they once did but Hizashi knows, undoubtedly, that the man he's looking at is still his partner.
hitoshi smells like coffee, cats (ifykyk that dough smell that cats have idk) and the og dove soap (+a random non-expensive body mist give or take) because being a kid raised in foster care, you find the value in being privlaged enough to be able to care about that kinda stuff.
I hateeeee that school takes so much out of me I go on break and think to myself “yes finally I’ll have time to draw all the things I wanted to draw” but alas.. i am too sleepy
there are days in the dorms where shouta will come back after patrol bloodied and beaten without that little extra energy to take him to his and hizashi's room, so he crashes onto the sofa as soon as he walks through the doors because this smell, these sounds, they are safe.
morning will come with quiet conversations and muted tv. he gets such a bad adrenaline crash that hizashi has managed to bandage him and the kids have managed to wipe the blood and debris from his face and hair without him waking. when he wakes up he'll shower and go back to the dorms, he sees the look on the kids faces; no child should have to see the person they view as an unmovable pillar so bloodied and broken.
This is literally me preaching zhongven but....
Their literally made for eachother, both are archons. Both fought in the archon war, both lost one dear to them, shared trauma brings people together!!
They've both gone through similar trainwrecks but are both such opposites at the same time which is what brings them together, you can see in multiple quests/cutscenes/wiki pages ect. that they've been close since their beginnings, since the seven met in liuye.
They've both lived for thousands of years, witnessing the uprise and downfall of things that have existed since God knows when, they both have witnessed the downfall of kh'aneriah and the uproar of man. The making of new mondstat and dragonspine, the freedom of inazuma and the banishment of the vision hunt decree.
Idk how to finish this but zhongven 4ever
But also aether and venti
And aether and everyone
Help
Shouta obviously needs to be able to use his capture weapon to hold his own body weight, and also needs to be able to brace landings between buildings so his arms and thighs gotta be WHAM. While hizashi is a bfg, he still needs to fight because no hero is a one trick pony, but his fighting style is more like mina's, so he's still got muscle, but alot less than shouta and alot more lean in general.
I get more ooc every day but like,, erasermic smokes? Hm? Maybe shouta is less ashamed, he's not at the point where he smokes a pack a day, but it's something he knows he relies on. Hizashi however, hates the idea of anyone finding out because that means he has a problem that requires something like nicotine.
Kurogiri (kuroboro? UGH) who, because of the brain-scrambling experiments garaki conducted, sometimes forgets (how to do) things. Maybe it's small things like how many days in the current months, or what time he needs to leave for a mission. Sometimes it's more big than that, he'll lose motor skills, forget tomura's eczema meds, or even something that afo asked him to do. When he remembers, he apologizes profuseley- he's usually on top of things like that.
shouta who has an older sister and beats him up (affectionateley) when he's being emotionally dense w hizashi or his kids yup yup yup...
When he's angry, stressed, scared etc, so much so that he's not able to articulate his thoughts, she'll come over and help him sort through his thoughts and clear the mist blocking his eyes
Then she'll body slam him lol
Hot take: people who depict Present Mic as the house husband of Erasermic are just flat out wrong. Mic is a pro hero who works in the spotlight, a teacher, and has his own radio show. Firmly believe he’s working basically all the time, being very fast moving. Meanwhile Aizawa obviously is also a teacher and pro hero but he explicitly stays out the spotlight and is more of an underground hero. So I’m gonna assume he has more time on his hands. Time he can use, I dunno, cooking for his overworked husband? Taking care of the place and their adopted children etc? Especially because he’s all about things being “rational” I can fully see him being like “Mic you’re basically always working. It’s only rational that I take on most of the home responsibilities”
