"I'm back!" Toshinori called as he entered the house, a small bandage wrapped around his hand from an injury during his work. Recovery girl scolded him, again, and told him not to lift anything with that hand for a while. She only chuckled when Toshinori complained about not being able to lift Izuku up properly with one hand.
"You and those boys." She shook her head. "You are good for them, both. I see how young Midoriya is changing, he is a little more open. And gets injured less often too. You are teaching him better then you were taught." She said.
"I am?" Toshinori looked at her surprised.
"Have you asked Torino for help?" She smiled
"Nonononono. I have offered Shouta to ask Torino to help in his training, but he is alright with me teaching him for now." Toshinori said, Recovery girl just shook her head and let him go. So, Toshinori had headed home to change before heading to the Midoriya's.
"Papa!" Izuku called, running to him, slowing when he saw his bandaged hand. "Papa hurt…" He pouted. Izuku carefully touched it with a sad expression.
"Recovery girl says I just need to rest it." Toshinori smiled, lifting him up with his good arm.
"Rest good." Izuku said, cuddling into him. Toshinori smiled and nuzzled into his curls to comfort the sad toddler.
"I will my boy, I promise." Toshinori carried him into the kitchen, Inko was cooking dinner.
"Evening." Inko beamed. "Have a good day."
"As always, did you have a good day?" Toshinori asked.
"Me and the ladies met for lunch at a new coffee shop nearby. It was quite nice." Inko smiled
"We could go on a date there." Toshinori suggested with a small smile.
"That would be lovely." Inko kissed his cheek, Izuku giggled.
"Me kiss mama! Me kiss now." He told her, Inko giggled and kissed his cheeks too. Izuku giggled happily. "Thank you."
"Is Shouta not back yet?" Toshinori asked
"He's at Hizashi's, training before tomorrow. Hizashi's parents are bring him back later." Inko said, turning back to dinner. "He's really nervous."
"It's a big event. Last year, he had to work from general ed into the heroics course, now he is practically fighting to get noticed by other pros. Though, I know Nighteye already has his eye on the boy." Toshinori said. "Both of their quirks are not very combat-bases, but very useful. I wouldn't be surprised if he has filled in a request form already. But, I was able to get tickets for us all to go and watch him. Front row seats too. Thanks to Nezu." Inko stared at him in surprise, she laughed and hugged him. Toshinori chuckled and wrapped his injured hand around her carefully. Izuku squealed happily and snuggled in between them. "How about we keep it a secret and surprise him by showing up?" Toshinori smiled.
"Secret. Sshh." Izuku pressed a finger to his lips. Inko smiled and nodded.
"We'll keep it a surprise." She agreed
"Nii-chan. Nii-chan. Nii-chan." Izuku happily chanted as they settled into their seats. Nezu had met with the family as they came in. He had gotten the family tickets in the front row, right behind where 2-A would be sitting. So, during the breaks, when the class would be sitting there, Shouta could see them. Izuku had happily settled on Toshinori's lap, eyes shining as he waited for the festival to begin. They cheered as the students walked on to the field, Izuku looked around for his brother. "Where Nii-chan?" He asked
"Um… I think I s.. Yep, there, he's with Hizashi and Tensei." Inko pointed him out. Izuku giggled happily.
"NII-CHAN! ZASHI-CHAN! IIDA-CHAN!" Izuku cheered happily, the three teens heard and glanced into the stands, Hizashi beamed and waved back, Shouta blushed and raised his hand a little. Izuku giggled happily clapping happily.
"Dude… you little brother is so cute." A girl in 2-A gasp at Shouta, "And those with him must be your parents right?" Shouta blushed and nodded.
"Man, your folks are so lucky! They got the best seats." A boy sighed.
"I bet Nezu got them for them. Izuku is his personal student after all." Hizashi smirked, that got the class muttering again. Shouta was blushing, but he smiled softly.
Both Hizashi and Shouta made it into the second around with Iida. Izuku was cheering them on happily, the trio also made it through to the final around, which was a one vs one battle. They went to the stands to wait for their fights. Hizashi and Shouta immediately went to the back.
"Nii-chan!" Izuku giggled, Toshinori had to stand to hold Izuku over the stand so he could give Shouta a hug.
"What are you guys doing here?" He asked
"Toshi got us tickets to cheer you on!" Inko smiled. "We decided to keep it a secret to surprise you." Toshinori had fully passed Izuku to Shouta, who held the toddler on his hip.
"SURPISE!" Izuku beamed "Are you surprised Nii-chan?" He asked eagerly.
"Very, but, very happy too." Shouta smiled, Izuku beamed and hugged him.
"My Nii-chan bestest and he going to win!" Izuku declared, and no one in the stands had the heart to challenge his declaration.
"But what about me Zucchan?" Hizashi pouted, Izuku looked at him, before thinking.
"Zashi-chan can win too." He decided. Hizashi held his heart, with a watery smile. Shouta had to pass Izuku back to Toshinori when it came to his fight. Izuku cheered him on from his dad's lap.
The festival ended with Shouta in first place, and Hizashi in second. Izuku was beaming happily.
"Nii-chan won!" He giggled looking to his mom and dad.
"He did, didn't he?" Inko smiled. "I think that is a reason to celebrate!"
"Why do you text the Yamada's, Bakugo's and Iida's, we can go to restaurant to celebrate. I know a good place."
"Great idea!" Inko immediately began sending off messages.
That evening ended with all four families gathered together to celebrate their win. Tenya, Izuku and Katsuki sat together, Katsuki and Tenya listening to Izuku talk about the quirks they had seen. The boys listening to him talk with wide eyes.
"They look at him the same way Izuku looks at Shouta." Takara smiled
"I think it is more of how Shouta looks at Hizashi." Hizashi's mother smiled, Inko giggled happily with his friends.
"Wouldn't that be cute!" Inko gushed, the women nodded in agreement.
