Whenever Toshinori invites people to his apartment he always keeps one room offlimits. Nobody can enter that room. That is until one evening Detective Naomasa accidentally mistakes the room for the storage room after being asked to get a bottle of wine.

The detective simply stares into the room shocked, until he feels a hand on his shoulder and sees All Might behind him.

“I-I can explain!” the retired hero said nervously.

Tsukauchi simply looks back into the room and goes inside. All around him are figurines, posters, hero merch in general from various heroes he recognise being ex students of his friend. But what is impressive is the amount of Hero Deku’s merchandise. He made his debut comeback a little over a year ago so he would never imagine for the hero to have a lot of merch, and yet Toshinori’s collection was MASSIVE. He looks back at Toshinori with an amused smile.

“I remember you saying you didn’t have favorites, All Might”

Toshinori rolls his eyes embarassed.

“I don’t…. but Young Midoriya… he is my boy. I am so proud of him.” The retired hero looks fondly at a little bunny plushie with Deku’s suit palette.

“Also just because they are no longer my students, doesn’t mean I’ll stop supporting them!”

Tsukauchi looks amused at his friend smiling all proud. He shakes his head chuckling and walks out the room.

“You’re such a nerd”

I wasn't aware of Shannen Doherty until Beverly Hills 90210. Heathers was huge back in '88 but Winona Ryder, Christian Slater and Kim Walker cast such big shadows that I didn't realize Doherty was one of the other Heathers until Brenda infected my brain. (Incidentally, Walker, Slater's then-girlfriend, who rocked her appearance as the diabolical Heather (Chandler), also died way too soon from a brain tumor that claimed her life in 2001).

Thing is. I hated Brenda. She was always so angry. So judgmental. Brenda and Dylan were nauseating. The perfect TV couple--too cool to ever smile. Their pregnancy scare (set to "Losing My Religion") was an early 90's culture moment that cannot be purged from my cultural memory.

Doherty's performance as Rene in "Mallrats" single-handedly changed my perception of her. Her character is dramatic without being moody, angry (but in a sexy way), and funny as hell. Prior to Mallrats I couldn't imagine self-righteous Brenda shimmying into a pair of tight jeans to sneak out the window of her boyfriend's basement bedroom in his parents house or screwing in a mall elevator. Smith's dialogue also alludes to her character performing a strip tease to the theme of Mighty Mouse on Brody's birthday and being subjected to a mid-blowjob fart. Hilarious as either prospect sounds on its own, the notion of Shannen Doherty doing either of those things convulsed the minds of 1995 audiences with cognitive dissonance.

I grew up in Kevin Smith land: Monmouth County, NJ. I went to Leonardo Grade School (Joey Lauren Adams wears a Leonardo Elementary t-shirt during a scene in Chasing Amy) and Bayshore Middle School is literally a five minute walk from the Quick Stop where Smith filmed Clerks. Smith's movies explored the mindset, geography, and culture of the insular corner of the Garden state that I called home. Smith put my beloved Red Bank on the map. He peopled his universe with live action comic book characters: romantic underdogs like TS Quint and slacker heros like Jay and Silent Bob or Brody Bruce.

Jason Lee graduated from skater personality to full fledged A-lister (or B) by playing Brody, Rene's ex and future boyfriend. That transformation (and Mallrats writ large) would never have happened without Doherty. Despite being the only bonafide star in a low budget Indie movie set entirely in shopping malls, Doherty threw herself into the role of Brody's fed up, oft-neglected, self-doubting girlfriend. She convincingly plays disgusted, furious, regretful, aroused and ultimately resigned and in so doing brings Rene's inner conflict to life.

And yet, despite the huge difference in star power, Lee's sad clown persona--vulgar, over the top ranting and juvenile antics punctuated by whiffs of introspective regret and epiphany--proves a perfect foil. Seen together, Brody and Rene are a classic case of attracted opposites--a story element confirmed by their ongoing flirtatious banter and elevator tryst (despite their recent breakup).

Even the visual contrast is striking. Seeing Doherty juxtaposed with Lee's towering, lanky figure made me appreciate how tiny she was. Her petite stature ultimately serves to emphasize the stakes of the contest for her hand between Brody and Rene's date for the day, "the asshole from fashionable male," played by a still-obscure, hulking and yet oddly pudgy Ben Affleck. A sexual predator in guido preppy disguise (who likes to fuck girls in that uncomfortable place that's not the back of a Volkswagen), the Asshole scorns our hero's mall-squatting, low ambition ways and threatens Bruce to back off Rene (later brutally assaulting Brody for not heeding the warning). In the middle of said beating he taunts Brody with his clandestine buggery plans for Rene.

This threat hangs over every scene in which you see Doherty framed between Affleck and Lee like a diminutive, long-lashed doe between two massive 12 point bucks. I can't emphasize enough the cognitive dissonance Gen-Xers like me felt at the thought of Brenda getting fucked in ass. It ultimately ennobles Brody and TS's comically chivalrous quest to win back their lost loves.

On merit alone, Shannen Doherty rocked her performance in Mallrats. Such was her star power, however, that her mere presence wordlessly broke the fourth wall to hilarious effect.

Though not considered Smith's best work, Mallrats has always been one of my favorite movies and changed minds among latter day audiences have raised it to cult status. As he did with Clerks, Smith imbued the film with a philosophic wit that more than compensates for the film's low production quality and simple premise. It's also chock-a-block with future stars from character actors destined to shed that designation, like Affleck and Michael Rooker, to virtual unknowns like Lee and Claire Forlani. It even features Stan Lee's most memorable cameo outside the MCU.

And yet, despite the buzz around Smith as the next thing in Indie movies, and the phenomenal casting, the principle reason a risk-averse Hollywood was willing to greenlight the picture was the participation of Shannen Doherty. That's how big a deal she was.

We'll miss you, Brenda. Rest in peace, big sis.

🌷taehyung having a crush on you🌷

(it had to be a gif w tannie ☺️💜)

-you're oblivious to the fact he's crushing on you bc he actually hides it pretty well (he wouldn't even blush or anything around you so it was actually pretty hard to figure it out, it was like a running gag between you and him that you'd make him blush one day, he was always like "you won't catch me blushing, ever" and you were like "we'll see about that posh spice")

-tbh when u guys first met, he was really reserved and took quite a while to open up to you

-he had this noir vibe when you first got to know him and he was quite the starer

- he was intimidating for sure, but the more you got to know him you saw that he's an absolute sweetheart

-now he's definitely brighter around you, smiles a lot and is more goofy

- will touch you a lot, he'll do it subtly though... you'll start to experience what a big effect a small touch can have

- makes time for you despite his busy schedule, hanging out with you is actually balancing for him and this is actually insanely fascinating for him, bc he tries to understand how it's possible that everything hectic in his life disappears as soon as he's together with you

-he's always dressed to the nines, even his casual attire is chicer than half of your wardrobe tbh

-very responsible, will help you get shit done and always has your back

-you once had trouble with your landlord bc this grumpy old fart really had the nerve to raise your rent when he didn't even bother fixing issues you've raised a complaint about

-taehyung listened to your rant while you were talking with a friend on the phone

-he asked some questions about your landlord after, it seemed pretty random to you and you didn't think about it much

-anyway, the issues in your flat were solved within 2 weeks and your landlord informed you that there will be no raise after all + he looked pretty nervous

- you asked him what made him change his mind and he just did the v pose

(you: , landlord: isn't this what youngsters do? hah..ha... *laughs nervously and leaves*, you: ???????)

-you told taehyung about the whole thing

you: i swear this man is on crack or something, he looks paranoid as hell lately

taehyung: yeah.... it must be .... the crack........ (😌)

-honestly he's your rock, he's forgetful sometimes but you still can always rely on him, no matter the weather

-sometimes taehyung can't express his thoughts properly but he can always count on you to understand what he wants to say.. he was quite baffled about that at first, but then you explained to him how the vibes of a person can sometimes say far more than words can express and that and that you would always understand his heart and, my dear, was the first time he wanted to kiss you

-he would ask you all sorts of questions bc he'd just love to hear you talk and learn about the way you think

- and he grew more and more comfortable around you, so his walls slowly crumbled around you with each joke you made and each secret you've shared with him

-and whenever he spoke about his dreams and future plans he included you like it was something completely natural and you could feel your heart race whenever he said something about this

-will take you the his favourite spots in the city and tell you his about his favourite memories he made there

-you guys would also go on long walks together, btw you meeting yeontan was one of the best days of his life tbh and this fluffy lil fella also loved you so much that tae was like "...are you kidding?" but he secretly loved it and filmed you with tannie very very often

-also, one time he left tannie in your care bc he was busy and he wasn't able to leave him with his parents on short notice... tae had spare keys to your flat anyway, so you just told him to come to yours whenever he was done

-and so he did and... he clutched his chest and was like "have mercy with my heart" because you and yeontan were cuddled together on your bed and fast asleep

-and tae stood there at your bedroom's door frame with the biggest smile on his face and tried so hard not to squeal bc this was one of the cutest things he'd ever seen, so he did what he had to do and took a picture of you two and then layed down next to you and fell asleep

-the next morning, you woke up to yeontan trampling over your chest and then hopping off the bed

-you closed your eyes again but you could still hear light snores next to you, so you turned around you were face to face with taehyung.... who's still so damn handsome that it's almost unfair bc you were pretty sure you probably drooled at some point... but he was still taking your breath away even with his slightly puffy face and messy hair

-you traced your fingers along his jawline and looked at him, thinking how lucky you must be... he snuck into your bed and now you were laying there, on a rainy morning.. like a couple that also happened to have the cutest dog

-you were caught by surprise when his eyes fluttered open and he looked at you, grinned and said "good morning' with his deep morning voice that made you all giddy... "I let myself in, I hope you don't mind..." and, sufficient to say, you did not, obviously. "tannie and you... looked pretty comfy, I wanted to join. oh, and would you mind continuing that?" he took your hand and put it to back to his face, but not without gently kissing the tip of your fingers. You smiled at him, cupped his cheek and caressed it. He slid his hands beneath your shirt and slowly pulled you closed to him, you hugged him and nestled your head against his chest. You were laying there with your legs intertwined and the only thing you heard was taehyung's rapid heart beat and the rain dribbling on your window, a moment which was the closest thing to bliss... a moment that was interrupted by his phone going off and yeontan appearing out off nowhere, jumping on the bed and running over you. taehyung groaned and grabbed his phone, as you giggled and took yeontan in your arms and cuddled him when taehyung had get up. you knew by his apologetic look that this was work and that your moment of bliss was now officially over.

-taehyung was equally upset about this, both didn't try to show the other but yeah, both of you loved the moment you shared and hated the fact that it was cut short bc bangtan had to do a re-recording

-taehyung left yeontan in your care again since you had the weekend off and promised to be back as soon as possible, to take continue where you left off. he was back at 1:28 am & drunk off his ass, turns out the boys insisted on going for drinks to celebrate that they were done with the songs and taehyung couldn't say no

-yeontan fell asleep after the 3rd walk you took him on and didn't even wake up when tae started making all that noise when he was back.

-tae's went straight for your bed and crashed there. His phone rang and you picked up after seeing it was namjoon, who got an earful from you bc you were pretty sure they didn't wanna deal with drunk tae and left him in your care, but namjoon sincerely explained to you that tae almost FOUGHT jin and yoongi when they wanted to take him to the dorms and that tae insisted on going to your place bc he had "important business" to do

you: tf is that supposed to mean?

nj: he said you need to talk things out or something. or tell you something? well, speaking is involved, idk and idc, im not too sober myself, so good night~

-maybe it was the sleep deprivation making you all mush-brained... but what if.... what if tae wanted to confess? after your cuddly morning it probably wouldn't be too far off to assume that, or would it?

-you laughed at yourself and went back to bed, where taehyung had hogged your duvet, so you got out another one and layed down.. taehyung tossed and turned, sighed and mumbled something

-drunk as he was, you didn't think much of it, apart from that, you were almost asleep, but he lifted himself from the bed and said your name

you: what is it, tae ?

him: I need to confess something

you: *suddenly wide awake* 👀👂

him: .... I.... I forgot to buy anchovies *falls back asleep*

you: KIM TAEHYUNG

him: ...huh?? what????

you: is that the important thing you had to tell me? the thing you told namjoon about??

-he turned around and looked at you with wide eyes, he, too was suddenly wide awake and from the look on his face you knew that this was in fact not about anchovies... "We'll talk tomorrow, when I'm sober again." ... you knew he was right, but curiosity has gotten the better of you. you agreed, but it took both of you quite a while to fall asleep again.

-you woke up the next morning, only to find the other half of your bed empty

-after throwing your pillow across the room, you got up, feeling a mixture of sadness, disappointment and anger

-he took yeontan with him too and didn't leave you a note nor a message explaining why he left

-you took a long shower, then got dressed and just as you were about to make breakfast... your front door opened and tae came in, with yeontan on a leash in one hand and a bag from your favourite bakery in the other

-you stared at him, completely bedazzled for a second but then glared at him, which took him by surprise. he smiled nervously... "what the hell, taehyung?" you said angrily, but deep down you were so damn relieved he was back. "We went for a walk and then I went to buy your favourites, since you always get up around this time" he said, while taking tannie's leash off, and smiled. "What did you think, hm?" - "well, I certainly didn't expect you to deal so well, looking at how you came in last night." - "oh you learn a thing or two when you're a performer" the two of you laughed and he knew he's off the hook. you started cutting fruits and he quickly joined you after he washed his hands. "so about that important thing from last night", he began and looked at you with a smile, as your cheeks blushed almost instantly, "I really wanted to make this right because this isn't something I want to do when I'm drunk. I think you understand that, right?". You tried very hard to hide go keep a straight face, but you couldn't hide your smile. Taehyung giggled. "Look at me..." he said with a husky tone that excited you even more. You looked at him with a raised eyebrow and smiled, as you knew what was coming and he smiled because you knew.

💕

epilogue

-you had noticed he put the pic of you and yeontan sleeping as his screensaver-

you: nice screensaver btw 👀

tae: *tries to keep his cool.. blushes v hard*

you: OH MY GOD

tae: STOP

i need a fic with slowburn awkward inko x all might (and dadmight adopting izuku).

• inko being a single mother cuz her husband basically abandoned her after izuku got diagnosed as quirkless (how convenient he had a work trip in america huh..). he one day sent her an email as a goodbye and that was it. inko put all herself into working and making sure izuku was loved.

• i like to think toshinori being very awkward cuz he spent all his life working as hero so he didnt really have lots of normal free time. but now that he was injured and had to step back a bit, so he didnt know what do do

• one evening, after a long training session with izuku, inko invited toshi for dinner and after sending the kid to sleep she started asking toshi about the training and all. she also thanked him for giving her boy’s hope and being the reason be was so much happier. toshi telling her that it was a pleasure and that izuku was blessed to have such a loving mother that cared so much about him. from there they would keep talking, toshinori telling her about some stories about him (obv not revealing too much). then he would ask about her husband…. inko awkwardly telling him he left them and that it wasn’t an issue. she would laugh it off but toshi saw that she was still hurt. she said that she didnt have time anyway working and being a mother fulltime. “not like someone would be interested in me anyway” she would laugh.

• after hisashi left her she didnt have time for herself and with her constant worry and anxiety (and depression from being left) she gained weight. she didn’t particularly care about it herself but she saw how people looked at her for it, so she never thought someone would be interested in her. when she said this (for her it was a lighhearted joke) all might frowned and told her that she was a very strong and beautiful woman. after that they both blushed and all awkwardly toshinori standed up saying his goodnights and left the apartment. sksjskakakanakakakkaak i love them both acting all awkward like teenagers ahah it’s been ao long since inko even thought about romance, and toshinori well being the symbol of peace it was dangerous for him.

• inko starting to make bigger bentos for izuku to share with all might

• toshinori overhearing izuku mumbling about finding a gift for her mum’s birthday and him freaking out about what to get her (he had to ask midnight and other teachers about it, but after they started teasing him for it he decided to simply buy some (very expensive) flowers)

aksnkskakakakskskkanaakkakwakkwieieuwiaiiaja pls they would be so cute. inko deserves all the good in the world

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

When Toshinori got the message from Aizawa about “his problem child getting into problems again” he was ready to call a taxi to the nearest hospital or even the police station, he certainly wasn’t expecting THIS.

In the teacher lounge sitting on a chair was a very familiar green haired teenager… no, a toddler. He was wearing a very loose tshirt and some shorts, probably given by a smaller student, they were still very big on the kid though.

“What… happened? Young Midoriya are you okay?” Toshinori kneels in front of his the kid checking for injuries.

“There was an incident in the city and they were assigned to rescue the civilians involved. Midoriya was pulling an injured civilian from under rubble, and they accidentally activated their quirk. I guess you can figure out what their quirk is.” Aizawa points his thumb to Izuku. “Apparently they are a therapist specialised in childhood trauma or something like that. From their file they usually have a very good control on their quirk and how long the” he again points at Izuku “lasts. But they got a pretty bad concussion so we really don’t know when Midoriya will change back. Usually with their patients they make it last a day or two.. but there has been cases where the change has last a week or two.” Aizawa sighs and takes a sip of the cold coffee that was sitting on his desk.

“Oh…” Toshinori looks back at Young…Younger Midoriya and exhales a laugh. “You certainly got yourself in a bit of a pickle, kid.”

Izuku simply stares at the man confused and also a bit scared. The black haired man assured him that he was a hero and that he got in an accident, he also saw the UA entrance while he was being taken there so he wasn’t lying to him. He should be excited because he is at UA! And surrounded by heroes! At least he thinks the blonde man is a hero.. he knew his name though so maybe they are acquaintances?

“You look like you have a lot going on in that small head of yours, any questions?” Toshinori smiles attempting to look friendly and ease some of his the kid’s worries.

“U-Uhm.. when is my m-mum coming?” Izuku asked quietly looking at the men from behind his bangs.

Aizawa stands up from his desk and stands next to Toshinori. “Mrs Midoriya has been already notified about your… situation. She is currently out of town but she should be back tomorrow morning. From her last update she took the first train home so you will see her soon. For now I was thinking of simply keeping you at the dorms.. but-”

Izuku’s eyes start welling up with tears. “I can’t go home?”

Seeing the tears Toshinori starts fretting over his pupil trying to calm the toddler down “You can! It’s just that Inko-san is not home yet and-“ he stops himself and takes a deep breath. “Everything will be alright, Young Midoriya…..Give a second.” Toshinori stands up and nodding to Aizawa the two man leave the room.

“I can take him home. I don’t blame him for being freaked out, he has no memories and we are basically strangers to him right now. Making him stay in a place unknown to him would simply stress him out..”

Aizawa looks at the former Number One Hero. He always knew he had a big soft spot for Midoriya, after all he was aware now of their story together. What intrigues him though…

“And how exactly will you enter the Midoriya’s apartment?” Aizawa raises his eyebrow at the man, not pointing out him using the first name of the boy's mother.

Toshinori looks quizzically at his coworker for a couple seconds… suddenly all the blood rushes to his face making him look like a tomato.

“Uhm.. ah… well….”

Oh?

Aizawa pinches his nose bridge and sighs. All Might really needs a working etiquette lesson. But he won’t snitch on him… the gossip-loving rat probably knows already.

“Forget I asked. I don’t wanna know. Just take Midoriya home then, and notify his mother about where he is staying. IIda already brought his bag and some stuff so take that as well.” And with that the Underground Hero left leaving the older man alone.

....

Alright, Yagi! You saved thousands of people, you can take care of a toddler for a day.

Toshinori goes back into the teacher lounge and looks down at his pupil. Izuku is still sitting on the chair playing with the hem of the oversized shirt folding it over and over again.

“Young Midoriya!” The kid startled looks up with reddened eyes. He stopped crying but he can see that the waterfalls were not over yet. “Cmon I’m gonna take you home!” He smiles.

Izuku jumps down the chair and looks up at Toshinori hopefully. “Is my mum back then?”

Toshinori kneels in front of him and puts his hand of his fluffy head. “No, she will still be back tomorrow morning. But we figured out it would be more comfortable for you waiting in your home rather than here. But do not worry!” He hits his own chest and uses his All Might voice. “Because I will keep you company!”

Izuku stares at the frail man in awe. He just did the best All Might voice he ever heard! Is he also a fan? Since he is in UA is he a hero as well? Did he work with All Might? But All Might has no sidekicks, did they do missions together then- Izuku’s thoughts stop hearing the man.. his babysitter’s laugh. He notices how often he looks at him fondly, just like his mum does. He wants to ask what is his relationship with the “older Izuku”.

“You are mumbling Young Midoriya” Toshinori smiles and ruffles his hair. “We have the whole day together so keep your questions for later. Although I can’t promise I will answer all of them. Hero secrecy and stuff.” He winks and laughs again seeing Izuku getting even more excited.

“Now let’s get you home. It’s almost lunch time so I bet you are hungry!” He picks up the kid’s backpack and goes to the door.

Suddenly he feels a tiny hand hold his way bigger one. Toshinori has always been tall and big in general, training his body all life made his hands rough and full of callouses. He gently squeezes the tiny hand, looks down and gets greeted with a precious smile.

Ah.

This will be more challenging than he thought. He just hopes his weak heart will be able to handle all the cuteness that radiates from his the kid.

DadMight and Izuku (hit by a age/body regressing quirk) AU (part 2)

(i'm not a writer and English is my third language, this is just a brainrot i had to get out lol)

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

The drive to the Midoriya's household was not a long one. Usually. But with the little kid in the backseat of the car constanly pointing out changes and new stores that he didnt remember existing, Toshinori had to slow down the ride to allow the kid to look around.

They finally arrive to the apartment complex and Izuku runs to the door excited. Toshinori smiles fondly and once he also gets to the door, he takes a key from his pocket and opens the door. He doesn't notice the kid looking at him curiously.

Once inside they deposit all of their stuff on the couch and Toshinori sits on the sofa and immediately starts ordering food to be delivered to the apartment, while Izuku runs to his room and hears him screaming excited about all the new things, especially hero merch, he sees inside.

Izuku looks around his both very familiar and not bedroom. He recognizes some merch his mum bought for his birthdays, but most of it is completely new. Some of the hero's figurines he sees he doesn't recognize, so he figures out they are new heroes, ones that are not yet active from... his time?

Izuku looks at his bed, it's a lot bigger and taller than his own. This is a big boy bed as his mum would tell him. After a couple of struggles he manages to sit on it and looks at a familiar poster he sees on the wall in front of him. It's a limited edition All Might Silver Age poster he got in a lottery, he remembers almost fainting when the man called his number.

Everything is very... weird. He understand the situation, the Hero Eraserhead explained it very well, but still it's hard to just accept it. If his mum was here maybe it would've been a bit better... at least he is glad that he was allowed to go home and not stay at the dorms as they said. Sure staying at UA, the best heroics school in the whole country, would be so cool! But still...

The door of his room opens and the man... right he never asked for his name, didn't he? He looks up and sees him smiling at him.

The food should arrive in around half an hour, he really hopes Younger Midoriya's taste is the same as his older version. He stands up from the couch and peeks inside the kid's bedroom. Young Midoriya is sitting on the bed staring at a... his poster. It doesn't look like he is crying, but that surely is not a happy expression. Can he blame the kid though? He must be scared or at least, very confused. He takes a deep breath and enters the room.

"Young Midoriya! The food should arrive soon. Do you want to do something in the meanwhile?"

Izuku takes the hem of his shirt and starts playing with it. "I don't know... " he says uncertainly. "Can I... ask a question?"

After asking his permission Toshinori sits down on the bed next to Izuku. "What is worrying you, Young Midoriya? I can understand this... situation can be very scary. But I can assure you, you are safe." He puts his hand on top of the kid's head and smiles.

Izuku nods and gives a tiny smile back. "I... thank you. Uhm... I'm sorry but I forgot to ask, what is your name? You clearly know me well, but uhm... I don't remember.. or I don't have the memories..yet?'' He hangs down his head embarassed, until he hears a smack and looking back up he sees the man dragging his hand on his face.

"I'm so SO sorry, Young Midoriya. I totally forgot and didn't introduce myself! My name is Toshinori Yagi, a teacher at UA... and a retired Hero." he says the last part with a bittersweet expression. "The reason I know you well..." he looks back at the kid pondering. "I... I'm actually your teacher!"

"....what? But... you said that you were a teacher at UA... do I go to UA, then?" Izuku's eyes slowly fill with tears.

Upon seeing the tears starting to fall Toshinori starts fretting over his pupil trying to calm him down.

"Uhm... yes! You are a hero stud-" The tears get bigger.

Ah right... he remembers having a heart to heart with Young Midoriya on the first year. About his insecurities, the quirkless discrimination he faced, the bullying.. and that day on the roof when they first met. Toshinori is not good with... emotions, but he has been going to therapy the past year and has done a lot of courses to become a better teacher. Toshinori takes a deep breath and put his hand on top of the kid's green curls. He needs to make it right.

"Young Midoriya... yes. You are.. well, will be a hero student at UA." Toshinori gives Izuku a reassuring smile. "And yes. You will have a quirk. I cannot say more details, but I really hope you take my word for it. You are incredibly talented, smart and strong. And you will be one of the greatest heroes I have ever had a pleasure to meet. And you know..." He looks up at the poster on the wall. "Even All Might thinks so-" a tiny weight crashes into him and he looks down.

"R-Really..?" Izuku's voice is muffled and soft. His tears are starting to create a wet spot on Toshinori-san's shirt, who is not bothered at all because he quickly puts his arms around Izuku, hugging him.

"Yes, really. You have no idea how proud I am of all your accomplishments. You went above and beyond all of my expecations, Young Midoriya."

They hug for a while, Toshinori realizes the kid needed it. He pulls off when the doorbell rings, meaning the food have arrived so he sends Izuku to the bathroom to wash off his face and prepares the table.

They eat and chat, Izuku showering the man with hero and UA related questions. It's nice.. really nice. Domestic. Toshinori always wondered what it would be like to have a normal life, a partner.. kids. He never actively seek it, he loved his busy and dangerous life as hero so those thoughts never weighted on him. But the last year with his retirement and some...developments, he would think about it sometimes.

They spend the rest of the day playing and watching movies. They try to call Izuku's mum as well but the signal on the train was bad so they had to abandon that idea after the sixth try. But surprisinly to Toshinori, Izuku didn't seemed as sad as he thought he would be. When the night arrived he sent Izuku to wash out while he searched through some boxes Inko-san told him he would find some old kid clothes. Good thing she was a very sentimental person, sure the clothes were a bit old, but still in good condition. Once cleaned up and changed he helps Izuku into bed and goes to the door.

"Sleep well, Young Midoriya. I will be on the sofa if you need anythin-"

"Can you..." Toshinori stops and looks at the kid holding a plushie they took from a shelf of his bedroom. "Can you tell me a bedtime story?"

Ah... his poor heart.

Toshinori goes back to the room and Izuku quickly moves to give the man some space on the bed, who sits right next to him.

"A story huh... I can do that. But after that you have to sleep, alright?" Izuku nods quickly and gets comfortable.

"Once upon a time there were two brothers..."

such a great show :(

adult teacher midoriya and prohero bakugou are so fun ahah especially i love when people write/draw aus with bakugou breaking into UA just to annoy midoriya LOL

i also like to think about kota being protective of his big brother 🫡 like him changing his seats near the window so whenever bakugou tries to break in he just shoves him off with water (also for interrupting class) idk it’s so funny to think about

Baby Philza is so cute!🥰 I wonder when the bird behavior got really obvious? I mean Rose probably asked villagers about raising babies and Blaze could ask the piglins but neither of those have winged babies. Like pouty grumpy baby as he molts out his feathers. Very vocal when hungry maybe prefers to hide under the cloaks and skirts of his caregivers( baby bird hiding under a parent’s wings). That and feather care is not something most humanoids care about.

there are so many possibilities yes yes >:D for me personally i like to thing baby Phil figured out things by himself. with instincts and observing the birds. He would be aware of being “different” from other creatures (villagers, netherborns, and the deities themselves) but he saw similarities with birds and went with it LOL I also like to think Rose would be chill like “yeaaah he got it!” while Blaze and She and He would be panicking when lil Phil started jumping from high grounds or do other activities the deities are not familiar with LOL
