  Summary

  Bakugou is in the hospital and Aizawa is his emergency contact, much to the latter's surprise. After arriving, Aizawa discovers that Bakugou's home life leaves much to be desired and decides to remove him from that home and take him into his own. Finally, out from under Mitsuki's thumb, Katsuki learns how to be a person and the trials and tribulations that come with it.
