Shouta was sitting with his small group of friends in the canteen, his mind was straying from their conversation and to a new message on his phone. Hizashi noticed the growing frown on his boyfriends features.
"You alright Shouta?" Hizashi asked. "Something bad happen?" Nemuri and Tensei also looked at him.
"Mom was forced into work, some big case the needs everyone on." Shouta muttered.
"Today? But, didn't Inko-san book the day off? To go to the beach with Zu-chan?" Hizashi frowned, Shouta nooded.
"I bet he is so disappointed." Tensei sighed.
"Apparently, Yagi-san has taken him instead, that's nice of him." Shouta switched off his phone screen and pocketed it.
"Yagi-san?" Hizashi asked. "You mean that blond guy we all met during that party?"
"That's him, he was the friend that went for a drink with mom when Izuku had the play date with Tenya." Shouta nodded.
"So… basically you're saying Yagi-can took Inko-san on a date?" Nemuri lended forward.
"Not a date, just for a drink." Shouta said.
"Sounds like a nice, slow first date to me Shouta." Nemuri smirked.
"So, you could be getting a cool dad soon then?" Tensei smiled.
"I give up with you all." Shouta shook his head. They laughed at his lack of reaction.
When the end of the came, the small friendship group met outside the gates, Hizashi's hand intertwined with Shouta's as they headed towards Takoba municipal beach park. Shouta didn't speak, content with just listening to them talk as they bounced from one topic to another, not sticking to one theme. When they reached the beach, Shouta looked around, hoping to spot Izuku or Yagi-san. Upon seeing the green, fluffy hair, Shouta led the group in the right direction. Izuku saw him coming and gasped.
"Nii-chan!" Izuku ran over to him giggling. "Hi Nii-chan!" He hugged his leg. Before seeing his friends. "Hi Onee-chan, Zashi-chan and Tensei-chan!"
"Hey Zu!" They greeted happily.
"Where's Yagi-san?" Shouta asked, he almost shivered at the giggle Izuku gave in reply. Izuku lead them to an elderly man, who was laughing at the sight of Toshinori lying down with just his head visible.
"I buried Yagi-san!" Izuk beamed
"No one should smile that brightly when stating they buried someone…" Tensei whispered, Shouta rolled his head.
"You okay Yagi-san?" Shouta asked
"I'm fine my boy… sand can feel heavy when it's piled on top of you…" Toshinori said
"It's your own fault." The older man laughed, Toshinori glared up at him.
"You suggested the idea Torino, this is your fault too." Toshinori said
" I think Yagi-san needs rescuing." Shouta told Izuku. "Let's dig him out."
"Okay!" Izuku nodded, before sitting down and began digging, Shouta and Hizashi joined in as Tensei and Torino laughed at the scene, Nemuri stood back getting pictures of it, sure Inko-san would enjoy seeing them.
They managed to free Toshinori's upper body when Inko joined them.
"Hel… Oh my…" Inko covered her mouth, unable to help her smile. "Looks like you've been busy."
"He has." Toshinori chuckled, now sitting up and digging his legs free. "Okay… I think I am free enough now." With a little wiggling, Toshinori pulled himself free, he stood up completely covered with his sand. Izuku plodded over to his side.
"Drink Yagi-san!" Izuku held out a bottle of water.
"Thank you." Toshinori smiled, accepting it. Izuku then went to his mom.
"Mama, finished?" He asked
"Yep, all done. And I get to have the next two days off, so we can have so fun." Inko picked him up. "Did you have fun?" Izuku nodded.
"We swam, and ducks!" Then Izuku gasped and wiggled free and rushed to his bucket. "Got shells!" He came back with one. "You hear the sea!" Inko took it and placed it to her ear.
"Well, what'd you know. You can." Inko smiled, she handed it back to Izuku. He nodded and showed it to the teens, expecting them to listen to it too. Inko sighed and settled on the blanket, removing her work jacket.
"So, how did work go?" Toshinori asked, joining her.
"Hectic, But, we got the worse of it done. My boss mostly wanted me there because I am the best at filing and actually keeping track of the work done. I mean, anyone could have done it…" Inko sighed. "Of course it led to me having a word with my boss."
"That is fair. Oh, Inko-san, this is a friend of my old master, Gran Torino." Toshinori introduced him, Inko smiled kindly at te older man. "I kind of forgot I was meant to met him today, so he hunted me down."
"Oh dear… I'm…." Inko began.
"It was my fault, I had forgotten. So, please, don't blame yourself." Toshinori smiled.
"It's why I tell you to set reminders." Torino said
"Well… I forget to make reminders." Toshinori grumbled.
"We all do Yagi-san, it's part of being human." Inko chuckled.
"Ojii-san!" Izuku called, causing the adults to looked at him. Izuku rushed over with the shell, holding it out. "Listen!" He held it out to Torino, who was still trying to process what Izuku called him. Toshinori began laughing and Inko covered her mouth to hide her own giggles.
"He seems to adopt a lot of family member." Hizashi muttered.
"He's 1 and a half, let him do what he wants." Shouta said.
"Ojii-san!" Izuku pouted, his cheeks puffed out. Torino took the shell, having to listen to the waves himself.
"That's cool." He said, handing it back to the boy, who giggled and went and put it back in his bucket.
"He's just met me…" Torino looked at Toshinori and Inko, extremely confused.
"He was the same with Shouta-kun. Calling him Nii-chan off the bat." Inko said.
"But… isn't he your child? It's only natural to call him Nii-chan." It was Toshinori's turn to look confused. Inko began to giggle again, Shouta looked surprised.
"You could fool a lot of people." Hizashi nudged Shouta, who blushed.
"Mom… adopted me a while again… my own parents kicked me out cause they didn't like the fact I was dating another boy...met Mom and Izu that day…" Shouta looked anywhere but the people around him.
"Nii-chan stayed and we can have lots fun!" Izuku added, rushing to his brother and settled on his lap. "Nii-chan happy!" Shouta blushed deepened and ended up hiding it in Izuku's curls. "Nii-chan?"
"You've just embarrassed him, he'll get over it." Nemuri smiled. Izuku settled with that answer and cuddled into Shouta. Inko smiled at her boys.
"Can we all come here again, all together?" Izuku asked. "Me, Mama, Yagi-san, Nii-chan… everyone!" Inko looked at Toshinori, who was quick to reply with a sure. The teens were also quick to answer yes, then Izuku practically stared Torino down, until he realized the boy was asking if he would join them too.
"Sure, I guess." Torino muttered, this kid was too much, reminded him of…
"Great! I'm sure we'll have even more fun!" Toshinori grinned, Izuku agreed with his own cheer. Was this kid really related to that Todoroki boy? Cause Torino was sure the kid seemed to act so much more like Toshinori.
