#ShinZawa | Caught Masturbating | Multi-thread | Underage |

Idly daydreaming about a canon divergent AU where Shouta takes Hitoshi in and gives him a place to stay after a villain attack kills his foster family and the USJ incident happens shortly after that.

Aizawa is his mentor and a sort of parental figure, and after living with him, Hitoshi considers him a friend.

Seeing him throw himself into an army of villains to protect 1-A, nearly being killed in the process, Shinsou suffers from nightmares. Which, paired with his insomnia, is not great.

He starts slipping, not doing as well in training, scoring lower on papers, worrying about Aizawa when he has to do patrols at night, and Shouta knows that he needs to do something.

Shinsou is already in therapy, and Shouta has it on good authority that Hitoshi is talking about the experience and his feelings, so trying to talk it through isn't going to help.

Unfortunately (or rather, quite fortunately) one of the only known ways to deal with poor sleep and reoccurring nightmares is just safety and understanding and human contact.

So Shouta starts inviting Shinsou to sleep in his bed after the more intense nightmares that would normally keep him up until the next morning. Either with Shouta, or just surrounded by his scent when Aizawa has to do nightly hero patrols.

It works at first. Shinsou is dead tired and, while a little intimidating, the offer is a nice reprieve. And, next to his childhood hero, he sleeps like the dead.

Hitoshi knows, even unconsciously, Eraserhead is the best of the best and that he'd never let anything happen to him, so he sleeps hard and his dreams stay quiet.

The issues start when Hitoshi starts being unable to sleep without being next to Aizawa/in his bed. He's worried and embarrassed but hey, Aizawa gets it. He likes sleep and has a hell of a hard time with it sometimes. And it's not like Shinsou is bothering him.

It's unorthodox and maybe a bit inappropriate but Shinsou is his responsibility and if he needs to sleep in Shouta's bed in order to be rested and at his best, well then that's what he needs.

So Shinsou starts abandoning his room to sleep in Aizawa's bed every night.
The next issue, though, comes on much faster.

For all the trauma and sleeplessness, Hitoshi is still a teenager. A horny teenager that's in bed with his very attractive idol that he's stupidly attracted to.

It wasn't an issue before because he'd touch himself and pass out and stumble in after the fact, but now he's dropping into Aizawa's sheets in order to fall asleep and it's impossible not to be *hyperaware* of the fact that he's lying right next to Eraserhead.

His teenage fantasies explode with potential, and sometimes he's straight up grateful when Aizawa goes out on patrol so he can take care of himself in his mentor's bed.

Things get even worse for poor Hitoshi when he starts having wet dreams that *look* like nightmares because he can't touch himself before bed and he wakes up to Aizawa looking at him, sleepy and full of concern, and he can barely handle it.

So, one night, when he's sure Eraser is asleep, Shinsou rolls onto his side, curled up and facing away from his mentor, and he slips a hand between his thighs and tries to touch himself as silently as he can.

It's intense though, because Aizawa is *right there,* and he could easily get caught and he's been aching and needy for quite a while and he's just *so* wet and every little brush against his clit makes him want to tremble and shiver and moan.

It's not much but it's definitely enough to wake up Aizawa, who has recently become hyper vigilant in his sleep because of Shinsou's nightmares.

Aizawa starts to reach for his protégé, ready to wake him up so they can both go back to sleep, but in an instant his observation skills kick in.

He notices how Shinsou is laying (not how he usually sleeps) and how uneven his breathing is (fast but not the same as when he's dreaming) and the very subtle movements under the blanket, and he can practically feel Shinsou tensing up even as he tries to stay calm.

And Shouta's mouth goes *dry.* His eyes are wide and he can't stop staring at Shinsou's curled up back, startled as fuck by what's happening and entirely unsure about what to do about it.

He doesn't want to embarrass the kid. He knows he'd be *mortified* if it was the other way around. But like, *fuck.* Shinsou is literally in his bed, touching himself as quietly as he can, and Shouta's at a loss for what to do. So he just let's it happen.

He swallows hard and remains silent, watching Shinsou tense, straining, and then shudder apart before loosening up and rolling to his belly to fall asleep. Completely unaware that Shouta just watched him get off.

Shouta does not sleep for a long time that night. (tbc)
