HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROCOLI BOIII WE LUV YOUR DUMBASS (cough cough having to have his classmates chase him down for a shower cough)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Iruka you coming?" Izuku asked.

"Sorry Izu I promised Nezu I'd help out with the internship paperwork. Don't worry about me, I'll be going home with dad later." Iruka waved to her friends before heading to the staff room.

Nezu's office was right next door which made it easier if any trouble occurred or when Iruka had to walk back and forth between the two rooms to do any kind of paperwork.

It was never a surprise to see Iruka in the staff room for whatever reason. When she entered she was greeted by the staff who were still there. School had just ended so there was no surprise seeing so many faces.

Iruka headed towards a desk she had long claimed as her own and saw a stack of papers. She grabbed her pens and set to work. She mostly had to sort through the pile and see who chose what agency and write that down so they could inform said agency.

While she read through the many forms she noticed a particular interesting one. She read again just to make sure and looked at her papa who was grading papers at his own desk.

"Hey Papa did you know Hitoshi was interning Dad?" She questioned the blond.

"Oh ya he brought it up over the weekend. Said it'd be good for the kid for when he finally gets to join the hero course. Of course this is an unofficial internship." Mic explained.

"So does that mean he's staying over?"

"Seems like it. But don't worry Little Listener he isn't going near your room."

"You aren't worried if he finds out about you or dad?" Frankly Hizashi and Shota never really cared what everyone else thought about them being gay. They could care less really. It was also Iruka that was worried there would be some kind of backlash that might hurt her parents be it physically or mentally.

"You know we don't mind. If you're worried you could always ask him what he thinks of it." Mic stated. Iruka nodded and went back to the papers on her desk.

As she sorted through them another name caught her attention. Todoroki Shoto. Of course it wasn't the fact that he was taking internships that intrigued Iruka this time, it was who he was interning. It shouldn't have as much as a surprise to her but it did. He was interning at Endeavor's agency as well.

Iruka took note of it and thought to bring it up with Shoto some time throughout the week. She continued on going through both 1-A and 1-B's papers for the next hour. By the end of the hour Mic had finished grading papers as well and the two decided it was time to head home.

Shota had been training Hitoshi as usual. By the time they had finished training the two saw Hizashi and Iruka walking by.

"Hey Iruka!" Hitoshi called out.

"Oh hey Toshi. Just finished training?"

"Yup. You're just heading home now?"

"Ya, shall we head to the station together?" Hitoshi nodded and they walked together to the station with Hizashi and Shota following behind.

The younger ones chatted about the day until Hitoshi asked Iruka why she had stayed back at school. As quickly as she could Iruka thought of a reply.

"Oh well Present Mic gave some tough work the other day so I stayed back to ask about it." She was a little guilty but was glad Hitoshi bought into the white lie.

Hitoshi hopped off at his station and the trio headed home. Shota had patrol that night so he didn't stay at home long. After finishing dinner, Iruka went to her room to finish up school work while Hizashi dealt with dishes.

==========

The week passed in a flash and 1-A and 1-B were currently at the station.

"You've all got your hero costumes right? Obviously wearing them in public is prohibited and don't lose it either." Shota stated as Mina gave a stretched out "got it" in reply.

Soon everyone was heading towards the trains and saying their goodbyes. Iruka walked over to her two best friends and looked them dead in the eye.

"You two better not cause any trouble, try to call me every night and don't jump into danger like an idiot." The last part was directed at Izuku. She gave them both a hug.

"Ya ya Whiskers. Hey Icy Hot no funny business with Iruka got it!" Katsuki yelled at the bi-haired boy who rightfully got a smack from Iruka.

Izuku noticed Tenya seemed more tense than usual so he, Ochao and Iruka walked over. The ravenette was deep in thought and didn't notice when his classmates walked over.

"Hey Iida something bothering you?"

"Oh no, no nothing is bothering me thank you for asking." Liar

"Hey Iida-kun. Hey if you need anyone to talk to you can always talk to us. We're friends after all." Izuku said hesitantly. He was worried for his friend but wasn't sure how to voice out said worry.

"Sure." Was the simple answer that was given. Ochaco and Izuku had to catch their own trains so they left it at that, but since Iruka's train would be one of the last to arrive she tried to get through to Tenya.

"Hey Iida. I don't know what's going through your head right now but I want you to know, no matter what time of the day it is and no matter how busy I may be, if you call I'll be sure to answer so please talk to me about anything and please don't do anything reckless during your internship." Iruka said the last part more to herself than anything but Tenya had heard it all.

"I will Ito don't worry about me." But she did. Something just didn't feel right about leaving Tenya alone but Iruka reasoned with herself saying he wasn't going to be alone.

She waved him off and walked over to Shoto who was standing by their teachers. Surprisingly Hizashi had managed to convince his co-worker to take homeroom for him so he could bid his daughter goodbye at the train station.

"Shall we get going then." Shoto asked her. Their train was soon to arrive and he didn't intend on missing it.

"Sure but I have one last thing to do." Iruka turned to their teachers before giving them both a big hug.

"You aren't worried Todoroki is watching?" Hizashi asked.

"He'll know at some point during this week. Bye bye I'll see you in a week. I'll try to call every night." Both of the students waved their teacher goodbye before their train left the station.

"Shall we find ourselves a seat?" Shoto asked, getting an enthusiastic nod from his classmate.

For the first few minutes of the train ride there was silence between the two. Not necessarily an unpleasant silence, purely silence.

"Hey Todoroki-kun let's have a q&a session. We don't really talk in class and I think this is a great time to get to know each other a little better. It's alright if you don't want to."

"That sounds fine."

"Alright first question, favourite colour?"

"Pink and green. What's your favourite colour and food?"

"Mine is blue and grey. Favourite food would be chicken curry, I like mine mildly spicy. What about you?"

"Cold soba." And so the questions jumped back and forth between the two for some time.

"Is Aizawa Sensei your father?" Shoto asked the question Iruka had been waiting for since the beginning.

"I was actually waiting for you to ask me that, yes he is. My turn, thoughts on the LGBTQ+ community?"

"Love is love. Is Present Mic also your dad?"

"Yup. I've been their adopted daughter since I was 5 I think. Does that bother you?"

" No, not at all. Is it weird when your dad's are teaching you in school?"

"Not at all. I've grown up with UA practically being my second home so no. Is your dad always scary or was he just like that at the sports festival?"

"He's always like that. Ito this is our stop." Shoto said as he got up.

"You can call me Iruka. I think it might be weird for you to call me by my fake last name and you know me well enough."

"Then you can call me Shoto. That's a fake last name?"

"My real last name is Aizawa-Yamada. Ito is the last name of an old friend of mine." Shoto nodded and headed towards Endeavor's agency.

Several more questions later and they had finally arrived at the agency. For a moment Iruka looked at the building in awe.

"Aren't you coming Iruka?" Shoto asked.

"Oh ya ya." Iruka followed Shoto and were greeted by some of the members that walked around the lobby. Of course everyone knew who Shoto was but some of them recognised Iruka from the sports festival.

"Ah Shoto. Your father is waiting for you and your friend in his office." Shoto nodded in response before they were led up the elevator by the young lady.

As they went up, Iruka started to feel a shift in mood. Shoto seemed much more agitated than Iruka would have liked. He had a somewhat scary aura that wasn't his usual intimidating one. This one felt like he had some kind of grudge against his father.

"Sir, Shoto and Ito Iruka are here." The young lady, who's name Iruka learned was Kihara, said.

The two walked in and immediately Iruka did not like the mood in the room. Endeavor was sitting at his desk flipping through papers not really caring to look up when he dismissed his employee.

"I hope you know that the only reason I requested you was because I see the strength in your quirk, Ito, or shall I call you Aizawa-Yamada." Endeavor spoke out. His tone sounded almost threatening.

"Whichever you see fit sir. And yes I am aware you only requested me for my quirk." Iruka tried her best not to look down. Sure she wasn't making eye contact but the Pro Hero was scary even without looking at her.

"Very well Ito. Now I will be transparent with you. My focus will be completely on training Shoto and bettering him. As I train him you will be training with one of my sidekicks. Am I clear?" Iruka gave a simple yes sir before Endeavor looked at Shoto. "What are your hero names?" He seemed to have finally acknowledged that Shoto was in the room.

"Mine is Animia sir." Iruka was slowly regretting her decision to intern with Endeavor but there was no point backing out now.

"Shoto." Shoto said blatantly. Iruka noticed he was almost staring at Endeavor down as if to intimidate his father.

"Very well. Get changed and be at the lobby in 10 minutes, we're heading to Hosu. The hero killer's last whereabouts was there so it would not be a surprise to find him lingering there." Endeavor stated before dismissing the two.

Iruka was led to the female changing room by Kihara while Shoto headed to the male's on his own. Once done Iruka headed down to see Shoto already waiting.
