TODOROKI

I really don't want to be here, but I am getting paid very well. I'm hoping this won't be as bad as I thought. School starts in another week, but I wanted to see my classroom. I walk onto the school yard looking around. Not much about it has changed since I last attended U.A. I like the fact they kept everything up. I know they have dorms now but I have no plans of going over there. I scan my badge allowing me into the school main school building. I remember where the classroom is that I'm going to.

I head down the hall seeing Midnight. She smirks when she sees me. She is actually not wearing her hero uniform. She is wearing this mini dress with heels. I don't see why she must always dress in this manner. Her hair is down in lose curls with a side part. I almost can't even see her right eye.

"Todoroki," she smiles. "It's so nice to see you." I already don't like the way she is looking at me.

"How are you?" I ask being polite.

"Getting ready for this school year. I am sure you are doing the same," she grins. I continue to my classroom with her close behind. "Sure, you really want to do this? You only been out of school 5 years."

"Not 5, 8," I correct her. I get to my classroom with the door opening. I walk inside looking around the wide open space. I'm surprised to see the space is cleaned after not being in use during the summer. My dojo looks better of course. I glance down at the mats and they look like new.

"What have you been up to?" asks Midnight playing with a curl. "Looks like working for your dad's agency has done wonders." Her eyes travel my body before landing back on my face.

"I'm just going my job," I reply walking over to my desk in the right corner. I fold my arms trying to decide should I teach them different styles over the course of the school or allow them to choose the style they want to study over the next year. Of course, a year is nothing close to becoming a master, but it is a start.

"Well…you didn't say what you have been up to besides working," she states leaning her breast in my direct. I shift my eyes away from them.

"I open my dojo in 2 weeks," I state. "That is mostly what I have been working on this past summer."

"Oh yeah," she giggles. "I have been seeing advertisements for it. Looks nice."

"I am sure you will be there for the opening," I replied.

"Maybe….." she replies. "So want to get together? Show me how grown you have become." I have to think of a tactful way to turn her down. Usually I wouldn't care but I do have to work with her which is changing things a bit for me. I'm completely committed to Midoriya as well. Since I started to fall for him, I couldn't even look at other people in the same way. Once officially together I have blinders completely on.

"I'm flattered that you want to take me out," I reply. "However, I am in a relationship." Midnight folds her arms.

"What?" she questions. "You are in a relationship!" Fuck, I forgot Midoriya didn't want me telling anyone.

"Please keep it between us," I reply. "My partner doesn't want the media finding out just yet."

"Well shit," she replies stomping her foot. "I want to know who this person is that got you. I didn't even get a chance to ride you yet." Midnight would have never had the chance to ride me. She has been around the block more than a couple of times. People think she is just playing up her features in that hero uniform, no she is definitely a freak.

"Yup," I reply. I'm not sorry either. We turn around with All Might walking into the room. He is dressed in some cargo shorts and a tee shirt. He smiles seeing me.

"Shouto, looks like you belong here all along," he states walking closer. "Midnight how are you?"

"I'm okay," she says slightly pouty. "I must go, I have things to do." She walks out of the room closing the door. All Might looks back at me raising an eyebrow.

"She made a play for you, didn't she?" he asks. I can't stop the chuckle that escapes my lips.

"I'm not interested," I reply.

"I heard," says All Might. "I am not use to people turning her down. Many boys lusted after her in their young days." I am not the average teen who lusted after women like Midnight. I prefer someone who classy and less flashy. She comes off as the type who want to always be in the spotlight. Definitely not something I look for in a partner. "I'm glad that you found someone who makes you happy though." I blush looking at him knowing he heard probably our whole conversation. "I won't tell anyone. I'm just tickled pink that I was right."

"Yeah," I reply. No need in denying it. "He makes me very happy. He is my everything."

"He?" asks All Might. I can tell he surprised but not in a bad way. "I must meet him."

"He will be at the dojo opening next weekend," I reply.

"Are you sure you want to have it that first week of school?" asks All Might. I rub my chin. He has a good point.

"It has already been advertised so I am not sure if I could," I reply. "Don't want to leave a bad taste in anyone's mouth."

"I'm sure you could never do that," he replies. "The public loves you dearly. You aren't the number two hero for no reason." I think I could be better, but people seem to love me. "How long have you and your man been together if you don't mind me asking."

"Not long," I reply. I don't mind talking to All Might about Midoriya. He clearly cares about me and my wellbeing. "I'm sure he would love to meet you being a fan and all." All Might laughs appearing to be amused by this.

"Not a fan of yours but mine?" he questions. I snort.

"He has an All Might laptop case," I reply. All Might laughs.

"I'm flattered really," he replies. "I just really thought he would be a huge fan of the number two hero."

"He is," I reply. "He is very smart. Don't worry, you will meet him soon enough and see for yourself." All Might nods before he goes on to tell me how he had them revamp my classroom because he knows I like things clean and in order. I'm so glad he did that for me. So far this looks like it is not going to be a bad gig. I'm getting paid 6 figures and I can still do hero work on the side. Once I tell Midoriya about me living in the area for the next year we will probably be together a lot. At this point I almost want him to move in with me. I would get to see him every day even it is just for a few hours or less. He would have much more space at my house as oppose to the dorm. It could also save his mom some money.

All Might provide me with my class list for the 3 periods I will be teaching. My 1st period is free, I dislike that my free period is so early in the morning but at least it gives me time to prepare if I have to. I don't plan to add personal items to my classroom because I only want to teach one year. Besides I don't want no one really knowing me unless I want them to. I wish I could tell Midoriya about my job, but we can talk about after my dojo opening. I smile knowing the night will go well. He will be happy to meet the pros I work along side with. Come back to my home. Once I tell him that I will be here another year I know we are going to make love for hours. I get in my car heading home wondering what is Midoriya up to. I know he said something about changing up his dorm to be more organized or something. I smile to myself wondering if I am having an influence on him.

My driver pulls up to my home and I see my father standing outside. How the hell did he even get in through my gate? I remind myself to change the code later. He turns around when my SUV gets closer. I roll my eyes getting out of the SUV. I really shouldn't be mad at him anymore for him agreeing to have me work at U.A. Thanks to him I get to spend more time with my boyfriend. I walk up the steps.

"What do you need?" I ask knowing he is here for a reason.

"I got your message saying you wanted to talk," says dad.

"I sent that to you two weeks ago," I scoff. I walk past him unlocking the door. I open it allowing him into my home. He walks in looking around.

"This place is kind of small," he notes.

"It's just me dad," I reply leading him to the breakfast table. I sit down crossing my legs. "Thanks for coming although it is weeks later."

"I have been busy," he replies sitting down across from me. "I had to come down on some people that was slipping on their numbers." My dad actually gives the heroes at his agency numbers to meet. I know it sounds crazy, but he is a control freak. I even have numbers I must meet. They are whining over nothing because the goal he gave me is total ass. "What is the meaning of this? You never ask to chat." I stare at my dad as the lump in my throat becomes heavier.

"I want to know what happened," I say slowly. He should know what I am referring to. I have always avoided the topic but I think I am ready now. "I want to know about mom burning me." I can see my dad is surprised I asked. I never want to discuss my mother. I wouldn't call her evil, but she hurt me. I hate remembering that even now. However, Midoriya is slowly changing my mind about that. I need to find out what happened…..

"What is there to know," states dad. "She lost her rabbit ass mind tossing boiling water in your face. We are lucky the damages weren't worse. You could have been blind for god sake!"

"I get that dad but still," I reply. "I feel like something is missing. I remember mom always being so loving and supportive. I can't see her just snapping without reason."

"You obviously know nothing," he says coldly. "People lose their minds every day." This was pointless. He is not going to help me.

"Okay," I reply. "That was all I wanted to discuss."

"Seriously?" asked dad. "Here it was I thought you wanted to bond." I scoff standing up. "Why don't you show me your home?"

"I can," I reply. "This is my home for now, I'm renting. I plan to move more than likely after this school year."

"Can't you stay?" asked dad following behind me as I start upstairs.

"I like the country," I remind him.

"This is the country," he reminds me. "You can just drive to the city as you are doing now. I'm enjoying having you around. Besides you have the heroes working harder." I roll my eyes showing my dad the guest room, hall bathroom before my office. I lead him into my bedroom last since it is at the end of the hall. He is in awe of the hot tub outside on the deck. I already know why he likes that. I'm about head out my room when my dad picks something up. "What is this?" He is holding up one Midoriya's bikini briefs. It was his first time wearing them for me and well…..they didn't stay on long. I walk over to my dad snatching them out of his hand. I shove them in my front pocket of my pants.

"I still need to show you downstairs," I state acting like this incident didn't just happen. Dad is staring at me in disgust.

"Who's the guy?" he asked. "You never fuck anyone in your house."

"Dad," I say trying not to blush from embarrassment.

"Oh my god…..All Might is right," he replies catching the tint on my cheeks. He clicks his tongue. "You are in love."

"Okay you can leave now," I reply. My love life is not something I want to discuss with him. My father walks over to me.

"You are going to kick me out over picking up your lover's panties!" he sneers.

"No," I reply. "I am kicking you out because you are not allowing me show you the rest of the house. You need to remember you are under my roof and need to do what I tell you. Which you aren't so you can get the fuck out." He gets in my face.

"Tell me why you are really angry?" he asks. "Mad I figured out your secret?" I run my hands through my hair.

"Yes," I admit. "My boyfriend is not like you. He doesn't like being the center of attention."

"Oh that's rich," says dad walking past me. "You finally start doing something right and you just had to fuck that up with love." He jogs down the stairs with me close behind. "I bet his ass is the reason you're asking about your mom." I grab my dad by the shoulder turning him to face me.

"Don't you ever speak ill of my boyfriend in front of me," I replied. "I am a grown ass man and I can make my own decisions. I mean it, no one is to know about this relationship." I can't believe I went from no one knowing to 3 people knowing. Pain in my ass. My dad shakes his head.

"Trust me son, love is not worth it," he replies. "It's a distraction."

"I disagree," I reply. "Nothing has changed."

"You keep telling yourself that," replies dad. "You are already laughing and smiling more. What's next, adopting a child with your male lover."

"Fuck you," I hiss in his face. "Get the fuck out of my house."

"You mean your rented home," says dad opening the door. "God you haven't gotten this mad at me in years. This guy is already causing issues." He turns walking away as I slam the door beyond annoyed. I don't think I have changed that much. Midnight wouldn't have been in my face otherwise. I pull my cell out calling Midoriya.
