Shoto cried, sobbing harshly as he was yelled at. It was dark and cold... He didnt know where he was. Even if he did it wouldn't matter. His eyes stung and burned, he was screaming and crying. 'Mommy! Stop it!' he cried, but she listened not. He screamed at his father the day after, right after training. Training was silly and stupid and dumb. He hated it as he was molded into the perfect child.

Shoto awoke, crying and hiccuping as he sobbed out loud enough to hear. "Daddy! Daddy!" He cried out, not so long as five minutes later a very distressed Deku poked his head in.

"Oh my gosh Little One! You need a hug?" He was met with a whine for Papa and hummed gently as he rubbed his eyes of sleep. "Icky dream, Ice Cube?" He was met with a nod and sighed, looking at Shoto. The little one babbled and put a hand up to his scar, still crying over his favorite Sven plushie.

"Ice Cube, can you tell Papa was the scary dream was?" A point to his scar was the only indicator. "Ah, I see... Honey..." He picked up little Shoto and placed him in his lap. "Ice Cube... I'm not mad at you for crying and being upset. I want you to know and lodge that deep into your memory. Papa will never be mad at you for crying." He soothed gently, doing as best he could to quiet the little boy.

Shoto's cries were quite loud and Deku picked him up out of bed. "Come-on Little One, how about some warm milk and your favorite movie?" He asked with a soothing tone. Deku watched Shoto nod and say nothing. He stood up with Shoto in one hand, his cries slowing down and went to the small kitchen. He took out some almond milk and filled a Frozen themed bottle up, adding a teaspoon of honey and one teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Shoto watched anxiously as the bottle was then sealed and placed in the microwave, eagerly squirming in his Daddy's arms. "I know bud, just wait..." He heard his caregiver say and nodded in response. He was very small at that moment and hummed expectantly when the bottle was taken out.

Deku tested the bottle and sighed happily, shaking it quickly and looking at Shoto, who was pointing at it. He smiled and held the bottle out, carefully feeding and burping Shoto. "There, now that your tum-tum is fed, how about we watch Frozen?" He asked and watched Shoto nod aggressively.

Deku smiled and put on Frozen, holding little Shoto on his lap, watching the now in babyspace Shoto giggle and coo at the movie every now and then.

"The snow glows white on the mountain tonight... Not a footprint, to be seen," Midoriya heard Todoroki yawn as he sang. "A kingdom of isolation, and it looks like, I'm the Queen..." He felt Todoroki slump over in his arms as he carried Todoroki back to his room, still singing but tucking his little one in for a nap. "Goodnight Ice Cube..."
