Chapter 29- Unforeseen events
Due to Toshinori wanting to keep the Midoriya's safe, he never spoke of them whilst at work. Of course, it led to his sidekick, Sir Nighteye noticing the slight behavioural change and he began to wonder who or what could have caused the change. To him, All Might seemed to be happier, his usual smile seeming even more genuine then before. The changes began a bit before Christmas, and straight after the holiday's it just seemed to increase a little more. What was going on? Nighteye wondered, as he watched All Might looking over his patrol area. He had tried to question the man upon it before, but All Might just assured him it was nothing and continued on as if he hadn't asked the question at all. But Nighteye knew it wasn't just nothing, and he was determined to find out.
Third day of the Case
"Ready for a walk Izuku!" Toshinori beamed, Izuku gasped, jumped to his feet, ignoring his art he had been working on.
"With Tomomi!" Izuku asked
"With Tomomi!" Toshinori nodded, Tomomi barked and ran between Toshinori's legs. Izuku was giggling.
"Happy, happy Momi!" Izuku giggled. Toshinori chuckled and got Tomomi's leash and a ball. They headed out, Izuku holding on to a big handkerchief, the one he used with his mom wasn't long enough for Izuku and Toshinori to hold and walk, so Toshinori had brought a large one. "Can see Nana after?" Izuku looked up at him, Toshinori smiled.
"Sure, we can go and see Nana after." Toshinori nodded. He didn't feel like they would get too side tracked that day, how wrong he was.
Toshinori looked a little worried at Nighteye, clearly trying to hide the green haired boy from view. The boy himself was making it difficult as he was trying to peek up at Nighteye. He also took noticed of the Saint Bernard puppy on the end of the lease he was holding
"A child and a dog, seriously Toshinori?" He growled, rubbing his brow. What the hell was Toshinori doing!? "What are you doing with a child and a dog?"
"Papa's taking me to say Hi to Nana, and Tomomi needs walks too." The boy spoke up as Toshinori went to reply. "Right Tomomi!" The puppy barked in reply, Izuku giggled. "I'm small and can't hold her yet, but I can when I am big like Papa, or big like Nii-chan!" Toshinori smiled fondly down at the boy, Nighteye just stared at the green haired boy.
"Papa?" He repeated, before glaring at Toshinori. "You have a son!"
"You know, if you gave me a chance to explain you wouldn't be asking so many questions." Toshinori sighed. Nighteye closed his mouth and nodded. "Hey Zu, how about we go and get some lunch?"
"Taiyaki!" Izuku immediately said
"Torino has been a bad influence. You can't have Taiyaki for Lunch, though, I will buy you a Taiyaki if you eat a sandwich first. Okay?" Toshinori told him
"Okay." Izuku nodded.
Toshinori ended up leaving Nighteye to watch Izuku and Tomomi the dog. Izuku sat on his chair from the café they had stopped at, the child hadn't stopped watching him.
"Are you Papa's friend?" The boy spoke up after a while. Nighteye nodded "Like Ojii-san?"
"Who's your Ojii-san?" Nighteye asked
"Gran Torinio." Izuku smiled
"Gran Torino." Nighteye told him.
"I said that." Izuku pouted, Nighteye was about to respond, but Toshinori came back. He placed a sandwich before Izuku. "Thank you!" Izuku beamed and happily took a bite.
"So, the child and Dog…" Nighteye began
"Izuku and Tomomi." Toshinori corrected.
"Right, anyway, them, what are you doing?" Nighteye glared at him.
"I am looking after my son on a day off, what else do you think? And before you ask, he is not my biological son, I am dating his mother and he see's me a father, which I am fine with." Toshinori smiled at the boy, who was eating without paying attention to the conversation. "He's Principal Nezu's personal student with an almost genius level IQ."
"Do they…" Nighteye began, Toshinori chuckled.
"Actually, they all guessed right." Toshinori smiled. "First Inko, then Izuku, then even Young Shouta had been able to guess."
"secret, Ssh." Izuku muttered before taking another bite.
"Yep, it's a secret." Toshinori smiled. "So, that brings me to a question. What are you doing here, Osamu?" Izuku peeked up at the question, interested.
"I wanted to find the cause of your behavioural changes." Nighteye admitted.
"Did you stop to think I never told you to keep them safe?" Toshinori asked. "The less people know of my connection to them… my connection to All Might…the safer they will be." He placed a hand on Izuku's head, the toddler giggled lightly. "I am act reckless and like an idiot sometimes, but when it comes to those I care about, I assure you, I am not."
"Um… so, what is this family like? I never thought you to be the one to settle down, Toshinori." Osamu smirked, Toshinori smiled.
"Well, I have already told you about Izuku, he's at working at the same level as most U.A students." Toshinori smiled. "Inko, his mother, is the most beautiful woman I have met, first met her on her way to the police station. From what I know now, she was handing in some papers to adopt a teen from an abusive family. She is so caring, and well, because of her I have been taking better care of myself. Making sure injuries are tended too, making sure I have eaten and had breaks during my working hours. When she first found out, she was quick to make sure I was still taking care of myself." Toshinori smiled fondly at the memory.
"Not a lot of woman would do that." Osamu admitted.
"She is one of a kind." Toshinori nodded. "And then there is Izuku's older brother, Shouta, he's actually training to be a hero."
"Shouta… as in… Aizawa Shouta, from the first year sports festival. The general ed student?" Osamu asked
"Yep, he was moved into the hero course, and goes by Midoriya Shouta now. He doesn't see me as much as a father as Izuku, but I think he is starting too. He is still a little unsure about everything." Toshinori nodded.
"The family is good for you then, also seems like you are good for them." Osamu said.
"I hope so…" Toshinori sighed, he looked at Izuku as the boy tugged on his sleeve and held up his empty plate. "Good boy, I'll get you a Taiyaki now. Would you like one from here, or should we grab one from that place in the park?"
"The park!" Izuku beamed.
"Papa…" Izuku gripped his leg, Tomomi was growling. Osamu was a little confused at the man standing before them. Toshinori was glaring at him
"Can we help you?" Toshinori asked, his tone cold. Even Osamu was surprised, but he watched as Izuku moved behind Toshinori. This stranger scares him. He took note, at least the kid knew about stranger danger.
"I am sure you know why I am here, you interrupted me last time." The man snarled.
"Todoroki Hisashi, Midoriya Inko has a restraining order on you, if you even try and take him, you will be in violation of it's terms. Actually, I am sure you are in violation of it now." Toshinori growled.
"Really, can't a father just spend time with his son?" Hisashi asked. Osamu watched this Todoroki Hisashi carefully. The Midoriya's have a restraining order on him, his own son is scared of him not to mention sees another man as his father. He knew Todoroki Enji, and he is one made who knows little on how to have a family. There is little love within it. The boy…. From what Toshinori explained, his mother is a loving woman, and his older brother seems to be rather caring too. And there is no man as caring as Toshinori, as All Might. Even Torino had his moments. The boy seemed to have a good judgement of people, knowing if they were nice or not. Empath maybe? Osamu watched the Toddler, tears were welling up in his eyes. And he decided I was worth of his family too… At the first fall of Tears, Osamu went into action.
"Hey, Izuku?" Osamu asked, Izuku looked up at him.
"How about we go play with… Tomomi, whilst your dad sorts this. "He glares at Hisashi. "Out? Okay?" Izuku nodded, he accepted Osamu's hand, and Toshinori handed his sidekick Tomomi's leash. Osamu led Izuku away, whilst Toshinori dealt with Hisashi.
"Papa be okay?" Izuku frowned, Osamu looked out at him, their eyes met. But for the first time, he didn't see anything. This boy, his future… A complete mystery. This was new, it had never happened before.
"He'll be fine." Osamu nodded.
"Thank you, Osamu-oji-san." Izuku gave him a small smile. They settled on a bench, Izuku threw the ball for Tomomi, as Osamu watched silently. Toshinori joined them not long later.
"That man…" Toshinori growled, eyes burning. "He lost all right to see his son when he fucked off before he was born. Then trying to kidnap him just because he is smart."
"He is a special child for sure." Osamu watched Izuku play with Tomomi.
"You saw his future?" Toshinori asked
"No, I couldn't. I looked into his future and saw nothing…" Osamu admitted. "His future is yet to be decided."
"Huh." Toshinori smiled. "Well, he sent my life into a loop. But I wouldn't have changed it for anything." He smiled.
"I see…" Osamu muttered.
"You're part of his family too now, he's going to expect to see you around some time." Toshinori beamed, Osamu groaned lightly. He watched as Izuku ran over to him.
"Osamu-oji-san. I try glasses?" He asked, Toshinori coughed into his hand, hiding a grin.
"Don't make him cry, no one will forgive you for that." Toshinori muttered, Osamu knew Toshinori wasn't lying, so he sighed and went along with the toddler's games. He took off his glasses and carefully placed them on the boys nose. Izuku giggled and looked around.
"Oho…" He stumbled and fell back on his bottom. He kept giggling.
"Looking good, Izuku!" Toshinori laughed and lifted him up.
"I can't see…" Izuku said, still giggling.
"Of course not, you have perfect eye sight, these glasses help me to see as well as you." Osamu said, before picking the glasses off Izuku to put them back on. Izuku was staring at him with wide eyes.
"Are your eyes broken?" Izuku asked innocently. Osamu stared at the toddler as Toshinori laughed at his expression.
