Toshi, you know this really isn't necessary?" Naomasa sighs, resigned to observing how a man of Toshinori's height can crouch behind the low bushes lining the sidewalk.
"Shhhh, they'll hear you!" With another sigh, Naomasa watches the normal people going about their day, two boys in particular walking leisurely along the path. The air around them gives off a mix of nerves and excitement, the green haired one of the two flitting about more than the other. Their shoulders touch, and the quieter boy smiles shyly at a conversation neither of the elder men can make out.
They'd been following them – Izuku and Shouto – ever since the pair left the Midoriya household. Naomasa tried to stop Toshinori from 'suddenly' showing up unannounced, but obviously that did no good.
Inko was ecstatic about the polite young man who asked her son out on this date. She had no worries, merely wishing them a pleasant time out. Toshinori was… a more worrying type of parent.
The moment the kids stepped out (with talk of getting some ice cream before a walk and some dinner), Toshinori got it in his head to follow them. After sharing a knowing look between Inko and himself, Naomasa went along to make sure the date wouldn't get interrupted.
Which brought them back to the restaurant, where the two young boys just entered. "Todoroki-kun opened the door for Midoriya, that was very sweet."
"Mn. That only evens out the points he got deducted for planning out dessert before a healthy meal." Toshinori peeks over the greenery once more, and once he's sure the teens have been taken to their seats, he sneaks in after them.
"He's on a point system now?" Naomasa rolls his eyes, catching Toshinori by his shirt to slow him down. If they were going to spy, Toshinori needed to learn how to blend in better. It was surprising he could hide his identity as All Might; it was pretty easy to pick him out in a crowd. At least, to Naomasa it was.
Toshinori doesn't answer, instead plopping down a gold card in front of the host and asking to be seated discreetly. They get ushered to a space a few tables away from the boys, Toshinori opening his menu and ducking his head behind it.
Sighing for the third time in the past ten minutes, Naomasa asks for water to drink, glancing past the waiter to see Izuku speaking animatedly. The boy grins throughout his story, while his date nods slowly, interested.
"What exactly do you think is going to happen? If you were really that worried I could have asked a few questions for you." The blond jumps in his seat, surprised.
"That would be too obvious!" He almost seemed offended at the idea, but it quickly gives way to embarrassment. "I just… want to make sure young Midoriya enjoys himself."
Quirking up his lips in a smile, Naomasa taps the back of Toshinori's hand. "Mmhmm, so you aren't worried about your son then?"
"S-son?!" Toshinori chokes and sputters, covering his mouth to keep the blood from spilling onto the table. The ruckus causes a few nearby tables to look over at them with curiosity, Toshinori shrinking even further behind his menu.
Glancing over to the kid's table, Naomasa can tell that one of them noticed their snooping. Shouto seems surprised to recognize the detective, shaking his head vigorously when the other boy tilts his head in question.
"We've been caught." Naomasa says, grabbing for Toshi's hand. Motioning for the waiter, he asks for a table further away. "He can't handle too much excitement, is there anything more private?"
Toshinori tries to protest, but when the staff notices the blood still dripping from his mouth, they usher them to a much quieter section of the restaurant. Naomasa waves lightly to the younger Todoroki, wishing him luck on the date.
