Chapter Text
He was in the middle of dreaming of him and Hizashi swimming in a giant bathtub when he was awoken by something crashing on top of him.
“Ugh.” Shouta groans, opening his eyes and seeing the blobby outline of Eri. He blinks a couple of times to right his vision, but has little success.
“Hey sweetheart, can you hand me my eye drops?” He asks, reaching his hand out to pet her hair, he misses and ends up petting her forehead, his finger tips brushing her hairline.
“Yeah I can do that.” He hears her say, her voice as bright as always. He feels her body weight shift over to his left side, He squints at the small blob, most likely her arm, reaching over the equally blobby night stand.
His eyes widen slightly as he feels her body weight shift more, He reaches and grabs the blob, pulling her back onto the bed. “Are you okay, sweetie? You almost fell there.” He asks, trying to place his hand on where her head is supposed to be, he misses and ends up patting the air.
He feels her small hands grab and move his hand to the top of her head. “I'm okay daddy, my knee slipped.” He hears her say, leaning into his left arm, her voice a little less bright now. He holds the Eri colored blob to his chest.
“Daddy… The eye drops?” Eri asks in a quiet voice. Her blobbed hand pulling at his short sleeved cat themed night shirt.
“It's alright sweetie, I'll try and grab them.” He says reaching his own blob of a hand out to the side.
“I got them right here.” He hears her loudly say, her blobbed arm shaking in front of his face.
“Oh you do?” He responds, holding his blobbed hand out to her blobbed form.
“Mmh.” He hears her say, he feels her drop the white blob in his hand. “Can you please wake up your Papa for me.” He asks, closing his hand tightly around the tiny bottle.
He sees her blobbed form fling across the blobby bed. He hears Hizashi groan as her blobbed form collides into his.
“Oof, yes my sweet pea, do you need something?” He hears Hizashi ask, watching his blobbed arm whip to the right and move erratically, likely grabbing his hearing aids from their charger.
“Youch!” He hears Hizashi loudly yelp, “Is it happening again Sweet pea?” He hears him ask, watching his blobbed form move out from under the blobby comforter.
“It's worse this time…” Shouta says, sounding calm, though he knows Hizashi can tell his voice is quivering.
“Eri, honey, can you go wake up Izuku and get started on breakfast with him?” He hears Hizashi ask.
“Yes papa!” She replies. Shouta hears her jump off the bed and run out of the bedroom, her feet smacking against the hard floor.
“How bad is it Sho?” He hears Hizashi ask, his blobby hands coming up and cupping Shouta's face, his thumbs rubbing softly against his scruffy cheeks.
“This is worse than the other times.” He says his voice quivering a bit at the thought of his eyes betraying him; never being able to see his family's faces again.
“Hey it's going to be okay, I'm here with you.” Hizashi says cupping his face closer and brushing a kiss against his closed eyelids. He feels Hizashi slide his hands to his back, rubbing gently.
Shouta breathes in deeply, letting his head fall into the blob of Hizashi's neck. Shouta shifts, wrapping his arms around Hizashi's neck and sinking into his warm embrace.
“Here, tilt your head back, I'll help put the drops in.” Hizashi says softly into his ear, his hands still rubbing gently up and down his back.
Shouta tilts his head up with a sigh, looking up at the blobby stars on the grey ceiling..
He sees the blobby outline of Hizashi's hand before feeding the cold sensation of the eye drops. He squeezes his eyes close, before blinking a few times.
He looks down to see Hizashi mostly clear face, he takes a shaky breath in; his right eye has not cleared at all.
