        Summary: Shouto walks in on Izuku while he's regressed, but remains completely unfazed. Why?Because he does the same thing.Life becomes a roller coaster from there, being really fun and high in the sky, or dipping down into the dumps of sadness.They can only work through every moment together.

    Shouto races to the stairwell, crumpling onto the first step's corner. His eyes sting and he rubs them frantically. His breath slightly stutters, echoing off of the concrete walls. He sits.He hears a voice. "Todoroki? What's wrong? You've been here for a while, kero."It's unmistakably Asui. Shouto peeks and stares at her. Asui's hands wring together at her chest, twirling. A pink head pokes out from behind.Mina is the second to emerge, creeping from the side of a wall and into the open. Jirou follows. Their eyes cast down. Asui turns towards them, then back to Shouto. "I hope they're not too much of an issue, they insisted to come with me to check on you." Her voice is so gentle and it makes Shouto crave something-- anything."Mhm, 's okay, Tsu," Shouto replies, laced with exhaustion, but honest."May I sit by you?" Gentle, gentle, gentle--Shouto nods. They sit in front of him in a circle and deafening scilence threatens. Mina blinks slowly. "We're concerned, Todoroki. We know you like your alone time, but. . ." she trails until it's only a wish to continue herself."You seem off today. And it's weird, because you're never off," Jirou finishes, shifting awkwardly and pulling down her shirt."Apologies for prying, kero. But we'd like to know if something's bothering you."Mina smiles. "No judgment at all.""Absolutely none," Jirou agrees, gazing at Shouto.Gosh, he's so lucky. He may not be as close to them as Izuku or anyone, but they're still his friends and care deeply about him. Not only classmates. His bottom lip begins to wobble without warning."I'm okay, I just-- I just don't feel-- I don't feel g-good today," he forces the words. He squeezes his eyes shut for a moment, resetting himself. "I'm sorry, you're probably not used to this. I feel not-- not okay, s-sorry." His voice gets higher and shaky."No need to apologize. We're here for you, would you like to talk about it?" Asui asks."No ju-judgin', right?""None."Asui is gentle, gentle, so gentle--"I feel like 'm. . .younger. Small 'n stuff," Shouto says.Mina leans closer. "Could you emphasize, Todoroki?""When-- when 'm stressed like tha', then-- um, 'm feelin' small 'cause 's helps."Asui brings a 'thinking finger' to her mouth. "I think I understand, kero. I had a friend, she did the same. Do you know what it is?""Age r-- uh --rege'ssin'?""Ah, yes, I know. Age regression," Asui responds.Mina's eyes widen. "What's age regression? I think I've heard of it, but not in this context.""Me too," Jirou adds.Shouto whines quietly. "Would you like me to explain for you?" Asui questions.He nods."Age regression is where somebody reverts to a younger state of mind, voluntarily or not. It's used as a coping mechanism to combat stress or trauma. Kero. It's probably related in no way to that 'other context' you talk about. This sums up a lot," Asui explains.Jirou's face softens. "So, you're stressed, Todoroki?""I t'ink, I-- mm, 's not ya'," Shouto whimpers. "Words, I-I, um--""It's okay if words are difficult," Asui says. "Don't worry about speaking too much."They're all being so kind. It reminds him of his mom when he was younger, back with Endeavor and--His chest jerks, sobs clawing at his throat. Shouto's hands shoot up to cover his mouth as a high cry escapes him. Mina dives in to hug him, Asui moves to the second step behind him, and Jirou holds his arm.Asui touches his shoulders, lowering him gradually until he's laying in her lap. She begins running nimble fingers through his hair and Mina joins.Jirou hums the tune to 'Hero Too', the same song that they had performed. It's very different without Katsuki's drumming or the cheers of an audience and friends, but it's comforting. It makes Shouto grasp onto the melody as if it's a fleeting memory.His sobs reduce to weeping, and weeping reduces to sniffles so on.The clacking of footsteps grows near.Shouto flinches. Asui leans into his ear and whispers."Don't worry, kero. It's only Midoriya and Bakugou and Kirishima. Your friends, Todoroki."His tension vanishes and he gapes at a strawberry-faced Izuku with red-rimmed eyes. "Shou," he squeaks.Kirishima and Katsuki stand tall, worried undertones still seeping through. Izuku runs for Shouto and Mina scoots away. They hug firmly and Izuku speaks whispers of comfort to Shouto, starting to cry himself.Katsuki catches a glimpse of the two breaking down and shoves Kirishima in their direction. He glares at Jirou, gesturing aggressively towards the opposite end of the area. She nods.With Kirishima and the others comforting Izuku and Shouto, Katsuki pulls Jirou into a corner to interrogate."What the fucking hell happened?""We don't know, but we came to check on him. We think he's okay for now," Jirou tries to explain.Katsuki glances at the group. "Do you-- the fucking-- the thing? Do you know the thing?""The thing is happening currently. Yes, we know about it and we're okay with it." "Good. I don't have to shitting explode you."Jirou's eyes widen and she takes a step back. "Yeah, yeah, okay then?"Katsuki smirks, hands on his hips. He actually seems a bit content."Todoroki's stressed, Bakugou. He's stressed and I didn't know. He just had a breakdown." The mood changes.Katsuki frowns. "Yeah? Well, shitty Deku's stressed too. Both of them.""I don't know how to fix it," she spills."You don't fix it. You can't fucking fix it, but you can still be there for them." Katsuki brings his palm to his face, studying every crevice and callous like there's a hidden unknown. "Even if you've made mistakes in the past, you can still be there," he says in a mumble."That's poetic coming from you.""Shut up."Jirou smiles. "Maybe you're not so rough--"Smoke fumes from his skin. "Shut up," he grits out, face turning sunset.A snicker then a yell."Kacchan!" "What?""Shou wan's ya'! Com'ere, I do too!" Izuku calls out.Katsuki faces Jirou one last time, expression serious. "Just fucking be there for 'em and listen. Gotta go," he says. Katsuki walks over, hands in his pockets. Jirou tracks him as he leaves.Loud giggles and laughs as he arrives, soft and genuine smiles too. Just be there for them.
