Nedzu was fine with no sleep.

Yeah, nothing wrong with losing a little sleep, especially when it was because of Izuku. There was no harm in staying awake another hour or two rocking him to sleep in his cradle. No biggie with reading a bedtime story when Izuku wakes up at 2:00 in the morning. Surely, no foul in him constantly worrying about Izuku getting hurt because he was in his crawling stage and wanted to head butted everything he saw.

'Nope. It's no problem that this has been going on for a few days. No problem at all', Nedzu thought as he looked down at Izuku in the floor crib in his office. He was wearing an old school superhero themed onesie with a soft cape attached to it with green and white being its main colors. It took so long for Izuku to tire himself out enough to go to sleep.

First off, Izuku woke up crying in the middle of the early morning, which was easily fixed by a quick bottle of warm milk and some walking around while patting his back until he burped. Nedzu woke up again to his alarm, which caused him to wake up Izuku when he was immediately greeted with a smile and the smell of death coming from his diaper.

After the diaper change, he got his work suitcase and Izuku's baby bag ready before he was greeted by a wail from Izuku. He looked down to see Izuku trying to clutch his head from the small pain he experienced from bumping his forehead into the only not baby-proofed spot in his house. He swooped down to take the crying child in his arms while bouncing him slightly, shushing him quietly while rubbing his back with his other hand.

From that fiasco onto the next, when he was halfway to work when he realized he left not only Izuku's favorite toy that he couldn't possibly fall asleep without, but also his paperwork that he finished from last night. Nedzu had to drive all the way back, pick up the items, and then wiggle back into the driver's seat before heading double time to UA. Which reminds him of the apology letter he needs to write to that poor electrician who was having just a lovely day before Nedzu stormed into him. Safe to say, he might need to send some compensation from the utter scare he caused the worker to experience.
And Nedzu would think that at least at work, he would be safe.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Oh, how the universe really hated him sometimes.

Nedzu had to deal with a supposed gas leak that needed to be fixed fast, only for the professionals to show up and say it was just overheated water that somehow intersected with the garbage disposal smell. Which made their pay doubled because they were only supposed to fix a leak, not fix up a whole system of pipes. And then he had to deal with the electric company calling about how he apparently traumatized one of their workers. He talked down their whole lawsuit thing pretty quickly, but that meant he REALLY needed to put compensation in his apology letter to pay for a few therapy lessons. Then he had to go through paperwork, which was always SO FUN TO DEAL WITH.

Then, for a moment there was peace and calm in his office for once in the past four hours since he woke up from his nearly nonexistent sleep. For a split second, he thought, 'Hey. This is nice.'

He was instantly shocked out of that thought since he saw Izuku heading toward the bookshelf. Which would have been fine until he realized the snow globe he bought while he was on one of his very few vacations was a little too close to the edge. He rushed over as soon as Izuku slightly bumped into it.

Good news, he caught the globe. Bad news, Izuku was crying again. Nedzu bit back his inner turmoil into a smile as he picked up Izuku and settled him down.

This incident caused him to completely stop his work to watch as Izuku literally avoided every single safe space he saw and headed toward any dangerous spots he could reach. He was like a danger magnet. Two hours later, Izuku finally went to sleep after eating his applesauce.

'Lunchtime', Nedzu thought as he remembered the students in the school and looked down at the papers before him with sad eyes. He turned his attention back to his self-bought 'Number One Dad!' cup.

"I wish I knew how to quit you," Nedzu lamented to his tea cup containing his 5th cup of caffeinated Earl Grey which he quickly chugged before continuing with his endless amount of paperwork. He peeked over at Izuku's sleeping form, silently wishing for him to stay just like that for a while.

"I still can't believe Nedzu took you guys shopping in the middle of class," Nemuri pouted as she picked at some pork with her chopsticks.

"It was less shopping with us, and more using us as help to shop for Izuku." Hizashi said. 'It was more of us reaching the places he couldn't get to than anything else', Hizashi thought to himself.

The shopping trip itself was eventful. Especially when everyone saw two high school students with their principal carrying a baby across his chest as he dragged the two towards the baby section. He took some of their advice while picking certain foods and drinks that were helpful toward a baby's growth.

But of course, when they arrived back in time for lunch, their two other friends took one look at them and started to hammer them with questions.

Which made Hizashi pull one of the oldest tricks in the book. Hizashi pointed behind them, said "Hey! What's over there?", before taking off with such speed even Tensei couldn't stand a chance. Well, he technically could chase after him, but they had Aizawa with them which was all they really needed to begin their interrogation.

"How long have you known?" Nemuri asked.

"The same day he found him," Aizawa responded.

"How come you didn't tell us?" Tensei followed up.

"It was a secret between the principal and us. If we would have told you, all four of us would probably have the same punishment that Yukishima had to go through." Aizawa said with his dark eyes looking more bored with every word.
Nemurk questioned, "How do we get on this?"

"Why do you want to?" Aizawa asked.

"Why wouldn't we?" Tensei answered. "Look, I'm a great older brother to Tenya, so I can definitely help out the most with how to take care of kids like Izuku because he is around the same age as Tenya. I'm sure that I can help out, I will do it in any way that I can."

Aizawa looked to Nemuri to find out her answer. "I always wanted to spoil a kid and be the cool aunt. And Izuku looks like he deserves to be spoiled, especially by the most awesome aunt that he could ever have."

At the end of their little interrogation, they decided amongst themselves to try to convince Nedzu to make them the honorary Aunt and Uncle. So here the two were, having sneaked up to his office after they finished their lunch.

"So what do we do to convince him to make us part of the family?" Tensei quietly asked Nemuri as they both walked toward the office door.

"I don't really know. I'm hoping he could just give us babysitter privileges, and at least allow us to give him a few gifts. And then sooner or later we will be the cool influences on him," Nemuri answered before reaching out to knock.

"I know it's you two, come on in," Nedzu answered, but he sounded... tired.

The two looked at each other before opening the door to his office. Only to gape at the utter mess on the floor, a pile of books that looked like they fell from the bookshelf to the ground, and stuffed animals were strewn all over the room. Izuku was babbling from his crib. All the while their principal had his head down in his arms sitting at his office desk.

"What brings you two here?" Nedzu said with his head still resting within his paws. Izuku gurgled a happy greeting from his crib as his limbs flailed a little bit towards them.

Shocked, Tensei cleared his throat, "Well, um, we were both wondering if you would consider us being an Aunt and Uncle to Izuku.."

"We don't even have to have that certain title," Nemuri continued on, "We just want to give him little gifts and maybe babysit once in a while if you are willing."

Nedzu lifted his head, "Why would I let you sit on Izuku?"

"No, no! Babysit just means watching over a baby while the parent goes away for some time." Tensei explained, fearing what Nedzu would do.

Nedzu lifted his head full from his paws and looked at Izuku. He looked back at his student, "If I agree, would that mean you will take care of Izuku while I rest?"

"Well yeah-," Nemuri started.

"Yes!" Nedzu said smiling, "You two can look over Izuku after school today. But you need Hizashi and Aizawa to assist since Izuku is already familiar with them. Great, it's settled then. You will watch over him after school, fantastic."

Nemuri and Tensei stared for a moment at the pure joy their principal had on his face, or was it his sadistic joy that he uses when he gets a chance at fighting the students during the teacher battle exams.

Either way, they succeeded in getting to have the cute child all to themselves! Muahaha!

"We won't let you down, sir." Tensei started before exiting the office with Nemuri next to him.

Nedzu smiled as he could already guess what was going to happen when they would look over his little angel.

"Oh, this is going to be fun," Nedzu said smiling at Izuku, which gladly earned him a smile back.

"I can't believe you talked us into this," Aizawa blankly said as he, Hizashi, Nemuri, and Tensei headed to Nedzu's house.
Apparently, after offering one of their houses for the babysitting, Nedzu refused and offered up his own since Izuku was more familiar with the layout.

"It was less talking and more dragging us into their own scheme," Hizashi muttered to Aizawa as they followed behind the obviously too happy of a pair.

They arrived at the door, about to knock when it opened to Nedzu holding Izuku. Nedzu had an overnight bag held in his right arm with Izuku in his left. Nedzu handed Izuku to Tensei before waving his little paw goodbye at Izuku.

"I'll be back soon, my little mouse," Nedzu whispered to the curly haired child before he turned to his students.

"I have all the materials inside. There is a list with his schedule and where things are located. I left some money for you four to get pizza. If there is an emergency, don't call me; I know what will happen before it does. There are several instructions for each task, no problems. You four have fun. Stay out of my room, I will know if there was any attempt to cross into it," Nedzu explained before walking off toward the elevator.

When Hizashi was watching his principal walk down the hall, he noticed his different attire. Instead of a suit and tie, he had on a rather casual white shirt with black jeans...no, wait, those were still his dress pants.

Curious, Hizashi called out to Nedzu, "Hey, what are you doing while we watch Izuku? Are you going to go watch a movie or something?"

"Oh goodness no! I'm going to find the road to El Dorado. What on earth do you think I'm doing? I'm going to sleep!" Nedzu said over his shoulder before turning the corner toward the elevator.

The four were stunned at his response before looking down at the child they were supposed to look after for what seemed like overnight. Thank god they had nothing planned and for the fact that tomorrow they were off of school.

The four pairs of eyes looked down at the small, smiling child. This will be so much fun!

After about two hours of watching Disney movies and eating pizza, Aizawa decided to check certain tasks off the checklist.
"Let's see, Izuku has already had his bottle. He already had a bath, a diaper change, and his meal of mashed baby foods. We already had dinner, so let's clean up before getting ready for our next task." Aizawa stated, already picking up the empty pizza boxes and throwing them in the trash. His friends followed his actions since Izuku was distracted by Cinderella.

They all went to the kitchen as Izuku bounced happily upon seeing the mice fix up Cinderella's dress. He was wearing a soft blue onesie with an embroidered koi fish on his chest. In his hands was a small sloth plushie that Izuku hugged tightly to himself as the pink dress was being made by the army of kind mice.

"Okay, our last thing is getting Izuku ready for bed. He said that we might need to play with him for a little while before Izuku either gets tired from loss of energy or bored." Aizawa said, looking at his friends.

"That seems simple enough!" Nemuri said as she cracked her knuckles. Aizawa looked back at the paper, seeming to notice a little note Nedzu made in red pen. He looked at the note and paled.

'Remember not to leave Izuku alone for even the tiniest of time. He is in his crawling phase and seemingly loves to hide. I think it happened when I showed him that one Disney movie with the mice making that dress. It seems he loves to pretend to be one of the mice, which is adorable when you think about it, but not when he disappears.'

Aizawa immediately rushed over to the couch in the living room, leaving his confused friends behind. The three friends heard an angry shout; "SON OF A... BISCUIT!" And rushed over to find an annoyed Aizawa and an empty couch.

The three friends were freaked out as Aizawa remained the leader. You know the leader... supposed to remain calm in these kinds of situations...

"FIND IZUKU BEFORE WE GET KILLED!" Aizawa yelled at them. Aizawa searched the living room, Hizashi checked Izuku's bedroom, Tensei checked out the two bathrooms, and Nemuri checked the kitchen.

There was no sign of him.

"He has got to be around here somewhere. Check the lists and see if he said anything about where Izuku likes to hide or something like that!" Nemuri said frantically as she pointed to Tensei to check the lists that Nedzu left behind.

"There is nothing about his favorite place to hide! It just says his favorite food and toy, and he already took his favorite stuffed animal with him! There is no way to bait him out. Even if we got the food, he will still be full from earlier," Tensei answered with the list clutched in his hand.

"The only place we haven't checked is Nedzu's room, but it is still locked so there is no way he is in there." Hizashi said looking scared at the fact they might have lost Izuku.

"Let's check the rooms again. I'll take Izuku's room, Hizashi will take the kitchen, Nemuri, you look in the bathrooms again, and Tensei will take the living room. Leave no space unchecked. We have to find him before he hurts himself!" Aizawa yelled, rushing into Izuku's room.

The four friends were filling with more and more dread as they looked in every place they could find. There were no signs he had been in the bathrooms or kitchen at all. And there only trace in the living room if the fact he was there last time they saw him. They were losing hope and gaining fear as they thought that maybe they would have to check Nedzu's room.

"I found him!" Aizawa said as he looked inside Izuku's closet. Izuku's closet was open, but no one checked inside to see that Izuku had crawled his way to the back of the closet where there was a pile of soft blankets. Izuku had crawled from the living room to his own bedroom to go to sleep. Aizawa smiled at the headache-inducing baby as he softly breathed in a deep slumber.
Aizawa picked him up gently before carrying him to his crib. Thankfully, Izuku didn't wake up. The three other teenagers appeared at the door, saw Izuku sleeping, and fell to the ground exhausted.

"I haven't had a scare like that since... ever, actually," Tensei breathed, lying on the ground, looking up at the painted ceiling with glow-in-the-dark stars.

"Yeah." Nemuri and Hizashi agreed as they yawned.

"I'm going to keep an eye on Izuku while he sleeps." Aizawa whispered slowly as he slumped down in the padded rocking chair overlooking the crib.

It was a bit small with his tall figure, but he made it work. His head resting against his shoulder as sleep overtook him.

Nedzu smiled at the sight before him with a well-rested mind.

The four teenagers had passed out from the overexertion of chasing Izuku around the house. Their bodies were all around the crib, so Nedzu made sure to step carefully as he walked toward Izuku. Izuku was wide awake, so when he saw his papa he reached out his hands toward him. He smiled and took the child from the crib before carefully moving around the bodies once again.

He paused at the door.

"Sleep tight, children." Nedzu said, smiling at the four passed out teenagers before exiting Izuku's room with a giggling Izuku slightly bouncing in his arm.

'I wonder how long it will take them to notice that Izuku's closet has a mini passageway to my room.' Nedzu thought with a smiling Izuku staring up at him. He tickled Izuku's belly, making him giggle up at Nedzu with bright eyes.
