Chapter 33- Second year heroes
"Have you got everything?" Inko asked, straightening Shouta's tie. He was moving up to his second year of U.A .
"Yes, I have. I have to go." Shouta gave her a hug. Inko smiled and hugged him back.
"Have a good day, oh, and Toshinori told me to wish you luck. He wanted to b here. But…" Inko began
"It's fine, he's got people to save." Shouta gave a small smile. The break between his first and second year had been great, Toshinori had spent all his free time with them. Quite happy to teach Shouta a few techniques he had learnt during his time as a pro, and things he wouldn't learn until his third year. "Besides…dad's going to be here when I get back…" He mumbled, blushing, Inko stared at him, before smiling softly.
"You don't have to force yourself to call him that, he wouldn't feel any different about you if you didn't." Inko put a hand on his cheek.
"I know…but, I want too. It's just…" Shouta stopped.
"It's going to take a while to get used to it. I understand. Have a good day sweetie." Inko waved him off, before going to wake Izuku, who had been allowed to sleep in because he had no school.
"So, how is everything with you?" Hizashi whispered quietly to Shouta during to orientation.
"Good. Izuku will be coming in tomorrow for his lessons with Nezu." Shouta muttered quietly back, their voices inaudible to everyone around them.
"That's good. He'll be joining us at lunch tomorrow then." Hizashi smiled.
"Yep, he's looking forward to seeing you guys again, and all that." Shouta gave a small nod, supressing a yawn. It was no secret he hated orientation. To him, it was just a waste of time. He could have just stayed at home and got some extra training in with the schedule his dad had made. He was thankful when the principal let them all go.
"So, what did you guys do over the holidays, it's a shame we couldn't really meet up." Tensei joined Shouta and Hizashi.
"I was training with Dad a little. He worked out a training schedule for me to help build more muscle and strength." Shouta said, Tensei and Hizashi stared at him.
"So… I have to asked Yagi-san if I can marry you, despite having Zu-chan's permission?" Hizashi smirked. Shouta blushed deeply and punch his boyfriends arm. "Ah, shit… what the fuck is that man teaching you? To punch through bricks?" Hizashi gasped "I am sure I felt my bones shatter!"
"You are being dramatic." Shouta sighed, Hizashi smirked, and threw an arm around his shoulders.
"Yeah, but I am your drama Queen and you love me for it." Hizashi smiled, Shouta shook his head, as they continued to their class room.
"Shouta, my boy!" Toshinori beamed as Shouta came in from school. "How was your day?"
"It was good, not much different then the first day of my first year." Shouta said as he sat down.
"Yeah, the orientation is a bit slow." Toshinori nodded. "I never paid attention in them to be honest."
"Really?" Shouta looked at him, Toshinori chuckled and nodded.
"I never thought there was any need to pay attention." He admitted.
"It does seem kind of pointless." Shouta nodded, glancing around. "Where's mom and Izuku?"
"Oh, the Bakugo's were taking Katsuki to the park and invited Inko and Izuku along." Toshinori replied. "So, I will be making dinner tonight."
"What are you thinking of making?" Shouta asked curiously.
"I was thinking, of an American based meal… it's fairly easy to make. But of course, I am not sure how you would all feel about it…" Toshinori said
"I could lend you a hand…" Shouta muttered, Toshinori looked at him and smiled kindly.
"Come on then, my boy. If we're lucky, we can finish them just as your mom comes home." Toshinori beamed, Shouta smiled along with him, getting up to change from his uniform before re-joining Toshinori in the kitchen.
"What first dad?" He asked, He was pretty sure Toshinori was close to bursting into tears, but the man beamed brightly, and they got started.
Inko opened the front door to the smell of cooking, and the sound of talking. Izuku yawned as he held on to the handkerchief between them.
"Let's see what they are making." Inko smiled, Izuku nodded and let her pick him up.
"You are joking?" Shouta was looking at Toshinori, who was chuckling.
"He is terrifying!" Toshinori smiled. "Have one training session with him and you'll see what I mean."
"It would help…" Shouta muttered, but clearly looked worried about the idea.
"Having fun boys?" Inko smiled, making her presence known, they both looked up.
"Hi mom." Shouta smiled, "Hey Zu-chan." Izuku yawned and gave a small wave.
"Someone seems tired." Toshinori went over and ruffled Izuku's curls.
"He and Katsuki, completely worn themselves out." Inko smiled.
"Sleepy…" Izuku mumbled.
"Well, dinner should be just about done. Think you can hold one a little longer to eat?" Toshinori asked, Izuku pouted, stuck between the choice of eating or sleeping.
"Food." He decided.
"Come on then, sweetie." Inko settled him into a chair. Toshinori and Shouta plated up the meal of burgers and chips, Inko couldn't help but giggle. "I should have guessed you were a fan of the united states."
"And it's the only thing I know I can make without fail." Toshinori smiled as he put the smallest burger before Izuku. Izuku tried to stay awake to eat, but sleep kept pulling at the boy, and after few bits of burger and a few chips, the toddler was fast asleep. Cheek pressed against the table. Toshinori was the first to finish and thus was the one to take Izuku to bed. He changed the boy into the cat onesie he had gotten at Christmas and tucked him. Izuku squirmed, opening his eyes tiredly.
"Papa…" He muttered.
"I'm here Izu." Toshinori smiled, Izuku smiled.
"Night night Papa…" He mumbled.
"Night, my boy. Sweet dreams." Toshinori smiled and let the boy sleep.
