The walk back to the student's dorms was fairly silent since Izuku had yet to awaken despite the noise that Midnight had made earlier in her haste to open the infirmary door for him. His mind still sort of in the process of...well, processing, duh. I mean, today he had learned a lot about his heir that he had never thought that he would learn.

First she was a girl.

Two she had a little bit of an identity crisis- Wait! Did that mean that she would want to continue to be referred to as a boy in public? Never mind, he still had to do research to figure that out.

Three- she had been beaten, raped and abused by a classmate and old childhood friend for the past three months.

Four she was probably pregnant.

And last of all- he suddenly felt like a drowning man in over his head. Why you ask? Because all of the above was a tad bit to learn all at once in a single day. He still felt like he was being pulled every which way. And that wasn't good. But even so, he was growing increasingly concerned about Izuku's welfare.

Now that he was taking her back to the student dorms so that she could rest, he was beginning to question whether or not it was in the girl's best interest to be left alone in the same room that the first rape had occurred in.

If he had been her and gone through the same things, he likely would have burned the dorms down in an effort to rid himself of any memory of the walls that had drowned out his screams and prevented people from coming to aid him. Of course it also went without saying that if their roles had been reversed, he would have murdered Bakugo a long time ago and fed his body- dick first to the crows that liked to nest in the trees on campus.

But then, he wasn't her.

Where he would have crumbled to nothing and pushed his morals aside- Izuku hadn't. And while that had been incredibly reckless of her, it also made her so very strong. And he felt proud of the fact that she had stuck to her guns for as long as she had and not given in to the reckless desire to destroy Katsuki.

Though he would have to ask her later on, once things had cooled down a little bit, just why she waited until now to actually break the bastard's jaw. Not that he was complaining any.

After learning of what he had done to her- a broken jaw was the very least the boy deserved. Though he was still of the mind to throw the book, it's shelf- and a few other choice items at him. Including a kitchen sink.

Finally reaching the building that housed the U.A students from Aizawa's class and several others- he carefully shifted Izuku in his grasp for a second. Placing her in the crook of one of his muscular arms with her weight half resting on her back, half resting on her side- snuggled up against his chest with her head laying in the hollow of his shoulder- so that he could free up his other hand so that he could open the door and enter, when several of her classmates somehow saw him and automatically came running over to help him and attack him with a barrage of questions that he couldn't really answer.

If Izuku hadn't told him or anyone else on the teaching staff of what was happening then it only stood to reason that the kids were in the dark as well. And while he may now know part of the reason that she hid things from him and the others in authority- he couldn't help but wonder if the reasons she had given him for hiding everything were the same for the kids that she called her friends.

Had she never told anyone out of some misplaced fear that they would also see her as weak and unworthy? Or were her reasons for not telling them completely different?

He knew for a fact that children could be cruel.

Of course the only real examples of this were from his days in school himself, and when he was first starting out as a pro- hero and a small child of three told him he was fat after being rescued.

Needless to say, for a while there, he had believed what the kid had said and sworn off certain foods and drinks and even kicked up his exercise routine a bit in an effort to drop some weight. Of course it hadn't helped any that he'd had Grand Torino re-enforcing the idea in his mind almost daily.

The damned hobbit. He thought as he did his best to maneuver himself through the crowd of highly excitable teens before any of them could make enough noise to wake Izuku and begin questioning her.

So just to partially shut them all up, he kindly and gently asked several of the kids to go and get some things for him and bring them to Izuku's room. Food- enough for two people the next day or so- no junk food either, apples, oranges, yogurts, and some stuff for sandwiches would do for now. Anything else that she needed later, he could get for her himself. Enough juice and a few other choice things that he knew that she might appreciate.

Like her two favorite fruit flavored sodas Orange Crush, and Grape Crush.

He also asked for someone to go and raid the fridge in the cafeteria and get half a gallon of whole milk. He'd have to make sure that she drank several tall glasses of the stuff until Recovery Girl told him to stop. Granted he knew that the milk was going to be needed for the moment in lieu of folic acid, but he was already planning to go a little bit overboard with it.

Especially since she and the baby would really need it to stay healthy.

Once that was done and he had gotten rid of everyone but a few stragglers who looked on in concern, he then politely excused himself and quietly walked towards Izuku's room all the while knowing that Shoto, Iida, Tsuyu, Denki, and Eijiro were following behind him at a slightly discreet distance.

Mentally shaking his head at his girl's friends antics, he had to remind himself that now wasn't the time to act the part of the proud teacher- he had a job to do. Someone who needed him to help them. Someone more precious to him than life itself.

He needed to be able to solely focus on her health and wellbeing and that of her baby's as well. God knew that all the stress from today and the upcoming weeks weren't going to be very good for either one of them. Which was part of why he had already decided to become Izuku's temporary roomie.

He...simply didn't feel right about leaving her alone after today. He was worried that if he did- something else even more damaging may happen to her. Something that she would never be able to come back from. And that was unacceptable to him. It had to be for so many reasons.

But the most important reason was because he wasn't sure if he would be able to continue living without her in his life...


Toshi was just beginning to settle down and relax a little bit after finally shooing his girl's friends and classmates off to bed for the night when Izuku finally stirred again.

He had been in the process of loosening his tie a little bit so that he could slip it off like he had his jacket when she opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling for a moment before slowly turning her head to look around the room, her gaze pausing briefly on him for a moment before continuing on and then coming back to him once she was finished.

"Checking the room?" He asked, half jesting as she slowly pushed herself up into a sitting position on the bed and ran her fingers through her long hair in a feminine gesture of brushing it back from her face before seeming to catch herself and then dropping her arm and replying.

"It's usually a good idea to do so. I've woken up in some strange fucking places before thanks to Ka-chan."

Toshi tensed somewhat at the mention of the boy's- no, the criminal's name and waited to half dreading whether she would elaborate or not. She didn't, and he wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not. So for the moment he chose to ignore it and simply move on.

"You've been sleeping since the we last spoke almost three hours ago. I managed to con your classmates into bringing me a cot, some sheets, blankets and a few pillows as well as some food and so on. If it's okay with you, I'll be staying here for a little while to keep an eye on you and make sure that nothing else happens to you."

"Yeah. Okay." She said in a bone weary tone that had him looking at her oddly before asking her,

"D-Do you feel up to eating anything? Someone was nice enough to bring up three or four gourmet pizza and curry as well as some other stuff. If you're interested."

She made a funny little sound and then slowly nodded her head and saying, "Pizza sounds good."

Clapping his hands together he smiled at her as he said in a somewhat more chipper tone, "Perfect! I'll fix it for you and heat it so that you don't have to move around any. How many pieces do you want? Two? Three or maybe five since you missed lunch and dinner."

"One is fine for now."

He paused in mid step and turned to her with a frown as he said in a confused tone, "One?"

"After today's fiasco, plus the fact that it feels as if my morning sickness is about to kick in- I think one for now is fine. I need to be sure that I can actually hold it down before I try to eat more."

"Oh... It didn't occur to me that you may already be suffering from morning sickness."

She made a humming sound and said, "Yeah. I have for the past three weeks now. Which is why if I can't keep the pizza down I have some popcorn, pretzels, several different kinds of crackers, and some ginger ale all hidden underneath my bed that I can snack on until my stomach settles."

"Oh. Do they help any?"

"Sometimes. But not really. At least it gives me something on my stomach before it begins to ache."

"Very well," Toshi said as he made a mental note to mention her morning sickness to Recovery Girl in the hopes that she may be able to come up with something else a little bit more helpful. "One piece of pizza coming up."
