Izuku is slow to pull away from Tōya once they're in the locker room, which is honestly larger than he expects it to be, and even though they sorely need to get cleaned up he doesn't really want to leave Toya's side. They've hardly been an arm's length apart since he had woken up to Tōya sitting at his bedside in the hospital, if at all, and he is loathe to put any sort of distance between them. He wonders if this is normal for soulmates but he doesn't really want to talk at the moment. No, he just wants Tōya to hold him some more.
"The sooner we get clean the sooner I can go back to holding you," Tōya says softly, and Izuku blinks at him because he didn't say anything. "I can't hear your thoughts if that's what you're thinking." Well, Izuku's thoughts had been going in that particular direction but the clarification has him blinking at Tōya again. An amused smile curls at Tōya's mouth and he reaches over to grab Izuku's hand. "It's normal for soulmates who've just met to be, ah, clingy."
That makes a lot more sense than some sort of psychic bond, which honestly would have been cooler but Izuku isn't going to complain about the lack of such a thing. Instead, he smiles and squeezes Tōya's hand. "Clingy, huh?"
"Mmm, very clingy," Tōya confirms in a low murmur, and he pulls Izuku back to his side. "I don't want to let go of you even though I know that I have to," he admits as he lets go of Izuku's hand to wrap his arm around him instead.
"Then don't," Izuku responds in a murmur of his own, and he leans against Tōya.
"It'll only be for a little while, Izuku," Tōya promises as he tightens his arm around Izuku for a few brief seconds and then he presses a gentle kiss to Izuku's temple. "Just until we get cleaned up, okay?"
"Okay," Izuku answers quietly and he lets Tōya pull away so that they can get undressed. He peels off his shirt and frowns at it, not recognizing it as anything he had packed for the training camp and it definitely isn't what he had been wearing the night of the attack, and a cursory check of his shorts reveals the very same thing. "These aren't mine."
"All I know is that Eraserhead was the one who dropped those off for you, so you'll have to ask him about them," Tōya says with a faint frown of his own as he gives the clothes a cursory glance. He's divested himself of his coat and is in the middle of taking his tank top off, revealing even more of the burn scars that mar his torso.
It isn't the prettiest of sights, and it isn't the full extent of the scarring, but Izuku doesn't care about how they make Tōya look. He cares more about the underlying cause for them and that Tōya might not be taking proper care of them because it doesn't look like he is. Luckily for him, Izuku knows all about burns and how to care for them thanks to Kacchan using his Quirk on him over the years. "I'm not sure I'll even see him again after today," he says softly as he folds the shirt up and places it on the bench.
"And why is that?" Tōya asks, his brows furrowing with his confusion.
"Because my mother was paying the tuition fees for U.A.," Izuku answers quietly and he slowly starts unwrapping the bandages on his arms. He takes a moment to roll them up so he can use them after their shower, seeing as they'd only been put on him shortly before he had been discharged from the hospital, and then sets them down beside the shirt. "And I doubt that either of us will be able to cover the fees, let alone living expenses, seeing as I'm sixteen and I don't have even a part-time job while you-"
"Have been living as a vagrant for the past ten years," Tōya finishes for him with a slight grimace, his mouth twisting into a frown. "There is financial aid that you can receive to keep going to U.A. though I'm pretty sure that they'll let you stay regardless of your financial situation seeing as you're…" He trails off, leaving the obvious unsaid, at which Izuku winces.
Yeah, being All Might's successor is definitely a benefit for him in this situation but now Izuku can't help thinking that it's the only reason U.A. will let him stay. Had he still been Quirkless… Well, he wouldn't have made it into U.A. and he wouldn't have met Tōya, so there's no point in thinking about that particular scenario. Just thinking about it hurts in the worst sort of way and he almost ends up sobbing. So, yeah, it's a good thing that he's All Might's successor right now.
"Then I guess we just have to worry about living expenses," Izuku manages to get out once he suppresses the overwhelming urge to cry, and he forces a smile onto his face as he finishes getting undressed.
"That's not going to be an issue for us either," Tōya states with a small grin but his expression becomes worried as he focuses his attention on Izuku again. "Hey, what's wrong?"
Izuku bites at the inside of his lower lip for a few seconds and then he looks away from Tōya so he doesn't have to see his expression as he answers. "If I had stayed Quirkless then we would have never met because-"
"I'm gonna stop you from finishing that thought because you're wrong," Tōya says sharply, his voice right in Izuku's ear, and his fingers curl under Izuku's chin to gently turn his head so that he's looking directly at Tōya. "We still would have found each other even if you hadn't gotten All Might's Quirk. It might have taken a little longer though, and I might have been a bit more involved with the League because of it, but we still would have found each other, Izuku."
"How can you be so sure?" Izuku asks quietly, his vision starting to blur as tears well up in his eyes.
"There's no scientific data to support it but soulmates almost always find each other within a month of the younger one turning sixteen," Tōya explains softly, and he pulls Izuku to him with a sigh. "Two months tops for the more unlucky ones."
