Shouta decided to take a lunch break at home. When he unlocked the door he blinked at the sight of Mirio Togata holding his son in the air like an airplane and making noises was a surprise. Togata paused Youta's flight half way when he saw the homeroom teacher of 1-A, "Oh! Eraser!"
Shouta asked, "Where's their mother?"
Zashi moved in and out of Shouta's legs to greet him home. Togata kept the happy child in his arms but used an index finger to point the way. Shouta nodded heading to the direction. Zashi kept on his owner's feet while he followed the man to the twins' room. He paused at the door seeing Katrina holding up their daughter. Katrina teased their daughter, "Now let's not dirty this dress up, shall we?"
Julieanne stared at her mother and smiled, an actual smile, towards her. Katrina pulled her daughter towards her and nuzzled with the infant, "Oh, you're just too cute."
A clear of throat caught both of their attentions. Julieanne saw her father and bounced in her mother's arms as if it were to get her magically into her father's. Katrina raised her brows in surprise, "You're home early. Did something happen?"
Shouta walked in shaking his head. Shouta explained, "I ran out of the pouches so I decided to come home for lunch."
Katrina's eyes sharpened, "Those pouches are for the twins. We are slowly going into solid foods."
Shouta took their daughter from his wife's arms. Julieanne grabbed onto his scarf and pumped her arms up and down in excitement. Shouta shrugged, "I don't know what you are talking about, Kat."
Katrina pursed her lips. Her arms crossed over her chest. When Shouta saw she was starting to buy pouches, not his usual pouches he would buy behind her back but the ones for babies who are starting to go into solid food, he took them for his own pleasure instead of taking actual food. Katrina moved her hand slightly pointing at him, "You're lucky you're handsome. Now please for the sake of transitioning our children into solid foods, stop stealing them from them. I have to go back to the store to replenish what you took."
Shouta's lips curved into a smirk, "Are you saying you're going to make me bentos again?"
Katrina gave her husband a look, "If it makes you stop taking their food pouches, then yes."
He leaned towards her giving her forehead a kiss. Katrina huffed, "That's all I have to do to make you eat a balanced diet, huh?"
Shouta started to walk out of the twins' bedroom. They already started to move furniture around for a possible third child in their little dorm apartment. The twins' cribs are now side by side on a wall instead one on each wall. It'll be a tight squeeze when the twins grow older but hopefully by then they would be able to stay at their actual home. Katrina ignored the fact her husband didn't answer as she knew that is the answer. Katrina sighed heading to the kitchen. She asked the third year, "Are you hungry, Togata-san?"
Togata uprighted Youta in his arms who clapped his hands together. Togata smiled, "Sure am!"
Katrina pointed to two high chairs, "You can put Youta in there and sit at the table. I'll be able to fix some food up. I'll have their father feed them."
Shouta glanced behind him at his wife who already pulled out two baby food cups and spoons. Katrina pointed to the cups marking Peach and Pear with a stern tone, "Shouta."
Togata looked between the two adults. Shouta placed Julieanne into her high chair. Shouta piled the two cups ontop of each other and grabbed the spoons. He sat inbetween the two babies. Togata rubbed his neck, "If you want, I can go..."
His words trailed off. Shouta opened the cups and dipped each spoon in it, "No need. Stay."
Togata placed his hands on his thighs listening to the teacher. Katrina turned to the teen, "What do you normally eat?"
Togata watched the monotoned teacher feed his children who happily accepted the spoonfuls. The teen answered, "Anything would be fine, Miss Katrina."
Katrina gave a curt nod and began to work on food. The smells of ginger and pork swarmed the home. Shouta asked the teen, "Would you like to come visit Eri? I've got a call saying she has woken up this morning."
Out of Katrina's eye she could see the teen brighten up with a smile on his face, "Of course, Eraser!"
The blond teen turned to the auburn haired cook, "Are you going to meet her, Miss Katrina?"
Katrina turned her head to the teen and winked, "I think it's best to give one of her heroes some time with her with just them. I'll come visit her in due time."
Togata's smile didn't falter. He was too excited to go meet the little girl again. He wanted to know if she was doing alright and make her happy. She seemed so scared and sad before. Shouta made a quiet airplane motion towards his son's mouth who messily accepted the spoonful of pear mush. Shouta added, "They believe her quirk derives from her horn on her forehead. It's smaller and lack heat. When she rewinded Midoriya, her horn was large and bright."
Katrina tapped her cheek with her index finger in thought, "It's not really unheard of. There are quirk users who can elongate a particular appendage when using their quirk."
Togata placed his closed fist in his open palm, "So we just have to make sure it doesn't grow big, right?"
Katrina started to fix three plates of ginger pork over rice. Katrina added her opinion, "Essentially from what I am gathering, yes. Now eat up."
Shouta was about to turn around to his plate and scoop up food but when he turned away his daughter threw her hands down onto the cup. It made the peach mush fly and splash onto her father's face and hair. Katrina had to muffle her laugh, "Ah her next victim."
Shouta sent a half-assed glare to his wife. Togata bit down on his lip to not laugh. It would be wrong to laugh at his teacher's expense. Katrina held up her hands in defense not being able to hide her laugh, "Hey, hey. I was her first victim. You're lucky it only went in your hair and face. She spilt the food cup and grabbed the mush and flung it towards me. She just started doing that recently. Luckily, Youta didn't copy-."
Her words stopped as a snort came from her. Youta shoved his hand into the pear mush and flung it to his father's face. A wet soppy smack hit his cheek. A happy squeal came form their son. Shouta turned to his children who was giggling mercilessly. Due to the weight of the food in his hair, only some of his hair levitated. His scarf was unraveling and lifted into the air. Shouta scolded his children, "Stop that nonsense right now."
Togata tried to calm the teacher, but Katrina stopped him with a smile on her face, "They're okay."
Togata turned to look at the twins who were smiling their father's infamous crazy smile. Each threw another tiny handful of mush towards their father. Both light green and orange mush mixed together on their father's face. It covered his eyes. He wiped away the mush and gave astern look at his children. The two weren't afraid of him. Katrina took a bite of her food, "Eat, Togata-san. It's getting cold."
Togata looked at the homeroom teacher and then the twins. The twins were happy in their seats while a frowning grown man was staring them down. Togata didn't know what to do but he caved in to the food, "Y-yes, ma'am."
Shouta stood up cleaning the twins' high chairs. He grumbled, "I'm going to clean up."
Once their father disappeared into the bedroom to shower, Katrina pointed her fork towards her children, "That was not okay, you two. No more food fighting or I'll take away your toys."
That made the two pause in their motions. Togata looked at the twins and their mother curiously. Julieanne and Youta simultaneously hugged their bodies in an attempt in a pout. Katrina scooped up more of her food. Katrina piped up, "For 6 month olds, they are smarter than they look. I had a feeling they understand as much as they could when they were younger. They know what no and yes means. They choose to push our buttons when they can to see how far they can go. I really don't know where they got that from."
Togata observed his past interactions with those around him and then at the twins. Togata snapped his fingers, "Maybe it's class 1-A."
Katrina raised an eyebrow, "Class 1-A?"
Togata nodded quickly, "Yes, even though they get told one thing, they do another. Granted, these two are not doing what those students are doing but they are doing what they do."
Katrina's grey eyes trailed to her twins who kept their chubby arms around themselves. She narrowed them, "Monkey see, monkey do. I may need to have a talk with Class 1-A then. It makes sense."
Freshly cleaned, Eraserhead walked out from their bedroom. He had a towel around his neck to continuously dry his hair. Katrina already placed the dirty dishes in the sink for later cleaning. A microwave ding ringed in the kitchen. The microwave door opened and Katrina placed his plate at the table, "I reheated it up for you. Eat. They're with Togata-san on tummy time. He's trying to encourage them to crawl when he noticed they kept pushing themselves upward."
Shouta quietly went to the table and started eating. Katrina joined him with a cup of coffee. Her fingers lightly grazed themselves against the mug. Shouta glanced up at his wife who seemed to be deep in thought. Shouta spoke in monotone, "Penny for your thoughts."
Katrina's eyes flickered to her husband who was eating while staring at her. Katrina put her full attention to her husband, "I want to speak with Class 1-A."
Shouta raised an eyebrow, "Why?"
Katrina huffed, "Monkey see, monkey do."
Shouta understood then. He scrapped up the rest of his food. Before putting the food in his mouth, he answered, "I can make that happen."
