"So how was the interview?"
"It was fine." Hoshiko giggled as you all agreed.
"Hey, you got an AllMight plush." Yamada called out as they only noticed you holding a plushie now.
You nodded and smiled. "Sir.... Gave... gift."
You didn't really like the actual Allmight, but Nighteye was nice and he seemed to really like AllMight. It did give you doubts about whether to fully trust him or not, but he seemed genuinely nice.
Plus the fact that Aizawa trusted him enough to leave you four to him.
And as much as you hated the idea of AllMight, the plush barely resembled him. It was just a fluffy toy with similar color scheme with a big smile, nothing too much like the big buff hero.
You smiled to yourself as you hugged it, recalling your conversations after the interview are you waited for them to pick you up.
"So...what's with the AllMight enthusiasm... are you like... a fanboy? Like Midoriya?" Hoshiko asked.
Nighteye chuckled, looking around. "You can say I am."
"W-why... All-M-Might?" You asked.
"Why do I like him?" You nodded to his question. "Well... he gave me hope... and he took me as his sidekick despite how limited my quirk was." He smiled warmly as if recalling the years. "He was a hope even with his flaws." He looked down to you. "I heard that you didn't like him... that you even tried to eliminate him?"
You looked away ashamed. "S-sorry... d-didn't-... didn't mean..." you pouted, recalling those times. "AllMight... scary... big... he hurt... me."
"Hurt you?" Nighteye was surprised to hear this. He hadn't expected it to he related to the lab or anything, he just thought it was AllMight being a big oaf again.
You nodded. "L-lab... say.... He a bad... man." You tried your best to explain and Shohei tried to fill in, explaining Akane's ability to tap into people's minds and control them as well as make them see things.
One of them was AllMight.
"I see." Nighteye hummed a bit before looking back down kn you. "I know it might have been tough... but AllMight is very nice... he is a hero... like Eraser. He may look big and scary... but he has a good heart."
He tapped onto where your heart was. "Like you." He smiled warmly. "You and him have a pure heart. You both are nice... and you both make mistakes, but that doesn't mean you can't be forgiven."
He patted you gently before reaching down on his desk to get the AllMight plushie. He hoped you'd like it even just a little bit.
He gave it to you. "This is an AllMight plushie... people wouldn't make toys of him if they didn't like him." He smiled at you. "You have a right to be scared of him because of what happened in the lab... but you can't stay scared or mad at him because he really didn't have anything to do with it, yeah?"
You nodded in response, slowly getting the toy and looking at it.
"So... maybe next time you see him... you say sorry... alright?" Nighteye tried to at least help you ease out of this fear you had with AllMight, even if it may take longer before you do.
You nodded and he smiled. He then turned to the other three and handed them AllMight related merch, and they picked out what they wanted.
Hoshiko's were earphone accessories.
Shohei's was a keychain
And Tora's was a hoodie.
"Huh." Was the only thing Yamada could reply.
"Well... now you know where to go if you want free AllMight merch." Aizawa grunted as turned back to look at the road. Although he didn't sound like it, he was happy to know that Nighteye tried to give you a different view of AllMight.

It was a lazy afternoon for the kids. Well... not you, Aizawa gave you a very important job in helping him check his papers. You were going to put the check mark at all the numbers he said were right.
You sat on his lap, holding the red pen in hand as he read aloud the statement before telling you to check it.
"This one is also correct." He told you as you cutely checked it, trying to perfect your check mark (âï¸).
Ding
Aizawa checked his phone to see a text from Yamada. He turned to look at Shohei, who had been sitting on the floor, leaning against Tora in his big tiger form.
"Hoshiko's coming over." He told the boy. "Could you prepare some food for her?"
Shohei, who seemed to have been looking into the universe of his own mind, sighed. His steel eyes on the ceiling, "She can starve for all I care."
Aizawa chuckled, "Sho." He made his most fatherly voice, the soft commanding voice.
"Yeah yeah... on it." Shohei broke into a small smile before getting up and heading to the kitchen to prepare his annoying friend some food.
"Hello everybody!" The familiar loud feminine voice called out. Aizawa felt you jump a little, it was honestly cute. "Your queen has arrived." She posed dramatically with a proud smile.
"Morning, Hoshiko." Aizawa greeted nonchalantly, like he didn't just see how Hoshiko made such a dramatic and sassy queen pose.
"Hey uncle Sho." She chimed back walking over to you and seeing what you were going. "Hey, baby." She squished your cheek before walking over to look at Tora's tiger state. "Gee Unc. I know you like cats, but a tiger? Seriously?" She knew it was Tora, she just wanted to get under his skin. "I mean I would love to have a big cat as well at home- much better than stupid Little Mic- but I would have gone for a black panther." She giggled, smiling at Aizawa's rather unamused face. "Cause you know, Wakanda Forever, right?" She made the sigh and giggled as you cutely mimicked her.
Shohei, who also liked getting under Tora's skin, laughed. "Sadly, we just got an ugly ass tiger." The two teens laughed as the Tora growled at them.

"Ok let's move on to this one." Aizawa got another paper. Checking pace was slower than when he did it alone, but he liked this quality time with you.
You leaned on his chest, looking up to his tired eyes. He wore his reading glasses, and it honestly made him look a little different. Just like how Shohei looked with his glasses.
"Yo! Look at this Hei!" Hoshiko giggled as they were both exploring the dusty storage room out of boredom.
Shohei sighed and turned to look at her and saw that she was squatting down in front of one of the stacked boxes. He peered over her shoulder to see that the box was filled with pictures.
"Whoa." He got down beside her and they both started to look through the pictures. They both looked at the first one that they saw. It was a picture of a silhouette of a girl. She was standing in front of a beautiful night sky.
I lowkey miss the days when I drew art like this on my phone... then I'd just edit it through some cheat photo editor appð
"Is this... mom?" Shohei muttered as they saw a few more faceless pictures or the girl, she mostly had be back face towards the camera and kept her face hidden, but it was evident that she had silver-ish hair with (y/h/c) tips
I didn't add any color to the tips of the hair for you all to imagine it yourselves... and plus majority- if not all- of these were old art.
As they looked through the picutes, were were some that had little notes written on them, the hand writing a little too girly for it to be Aizawa.
"Look at this one!" Hoshiko said as she gave him the picture of Aizawa with the same girl. The girl's face was covered by the hoodie she had on, but they could see Aizawa's face so clearly.
He wasn't looking into the camera, but rather at the girl. He had this soft expression with his body leaning on hers as they seemed to be staring into each other's eyes. It was pretty romantic.
"Oh god this is so cute." Hoshiko giggled, looking at the note.
3rd year Training Camp

Shohei stared at the picture a little more, taking in how different yet the same Aizawa looked. He still had the usual resting bitch face, but there was a bit of difference. It was hard for Shohei to put into words, but all he could say was that Aizawa looked a bit brighter back then.
"What a small world, huh?" Hoshiko sighed as she shifted into a more comfortable seating position.
Shohei looked at her with a confused look, not really understanding.
"I mean, who would have guessed the hero who decided to help you out and let you live here... was someone close to your mom- a lady you don't even remember..." She sighed contently, drifting into her mental space as did Shohei.
However, he was thinking more about the picture and how loving and sweet it looked despite Aizawa not having a smile on his face.
"Guess your right... and I'm kinda happy the universe decided to do this..." Hoshiko hummed in agreement as she mindlessly picked up another photo. Her eyes widened and she leaned forward, looking like she was shocked as she stared into the picture. Shohei saw this and looked at the picture as well.
A picture where her face was seen.
"Damn." Hoshiko smiled at how sweet the two looked. "Your mom is pretty."
I cringe at this so I might re-draw (which I probably will forget soon hahað¥²)
"She... she looks like (Y/n) ." Shohei raised a brow and looked at the picture more.
"Maybe that's why Uncle Sho named her (Y/n)... cause they look like each other."Â Hoshiko smiled, admiring how cute of a couple these two might have been.

Aizawa took over his checking and just let you sit on his lap as he went on to recording the grades in his laptop.
Tora was still on the floor near the couch, sleeping with the cats as he laid there in his big tiger form.
Aizawa stretched, but stopped when he felt how heavy you were. He looked down to see you had fallen asleep. His heart just tightened, never really getting over your cuteness.
He sighed, "Guess its is nap time." He carried you up and he walked over to his room, only to stop at the sight of the open door of the storage room.
It had been unusually quiet, especially since Hoshiko was there, so he walked over to see them sitting in the room, with polaroid pictures scattered around.
If Aizawa wasn't a better man, he would have dropped you out of surprise. His eyes were wide as he could see the old pictures of him.
"Oh my god." Hoshiko started to laugh. "Look at this." She showed Shohei the picture and then they both started to laugh.
They tensed up upon the sight of Aizawa with you in his arms. He had his quirk activated as he had this 'disappointed dad' look. His cheeks were slightly red and he had a small pout on his face. "What do you think you two are doing?" He was holding back his voice since he didn't want to wake you.
"Looking through pictures." Shohei answered nonchalantly. "Why did you hide these? These are nice." He waved around the picture of him and (Y/n) cuddling as they watched a video.
Aizawa looked away. He also liked those pictures, but it was pretty hard to have them on... especially since she had been dead for years already. "I just... They were hard to put on display... so I kept them and well... I might have forgotten that they were there." He explained softly.
The two looked at each other before giving him an apologetic look, "Sorry, dad."
Aizawa shook his head, "its fine, go ahead and bring them out... bout time they get displayed." He said as he walked to his bed and tucked you in, hoping he wouldn't wake you.
He sat there for a moment, looking at you as you slept. Seeing you so peaceful made him feel calm as well. Your well being, as well as Shohei's were important to him. He wanted to keep you kids happy and safe.
"Mind if we do it here?" Shohei smiled walking into the room with Hoshiko as they had the box in hand. "Tora's hogging the space in the living room."
They settled down and looked through the pictures with Aizawa, seeing which one would be best to display in his mini library.
They sat there, looking through pictures and listening to Aizawa as he explained certain pictures.
"We're having the training camp soon... will it be in the same place as this?" Shohei asked as he showed the first picture he saw of Aizawa and his mom, the one with her face covered by the hood of their matching hoodies.
Aizawa shook his head, taking the photo and looking at the picture. "Your training camp will be in an unknown area... only a few people will know about it... to prevent any incidents." He started, eyes still on the picture. "Unlike the place you'll be having your training camp, the place we were in had a lot more rooms and it gave us a opportunity to personalize the place... those lights in the background of the picture was actually (Y/n)'s... she brought that and a lot of snacks." He chuckled at the memory.
"She brought snacks, her light and attires, but she forgot her own sleeping bag or futon... so we uh... had to share." Aizawa gave a shy look.
"Wait they allowed boys and girls sleeping together?!" Hoshiko perked up. "Isn't that like-"
"Well at that time, people were still somewhat conservative about... you know. So it wasn't too much of a big deal for girl and boys sleeping with each other."
"How about now-"
"No." Aizawa glared. "We will not be allowing any of that... especially with Mineta there."
"Good point."

"Whoa you played the guitar?" Hoshiko smiled at a stolen photo of Aizawa and Hizashi holding guitars as they sat on the grass, it looked like a picnic.
Aizawa nodded, looking over to the picture then showing other related pictures. "I played and your dad did most of the singing." He explained, turning to Shohei as he gave him a picture of his mom with a mic in hand. "Your mother sang as well... but she was shy, like me."
Hoshiko awed at the sight. "Your mom is so pretty!" She looked up at Aizawa, "no offense, but how did you get her to fall for you?"
Aizawa rolled his eyes, "very funny." He grunted as he scratched his neck, "She was a best friend's little sister, and well, he always had her join us."
"Ohhh falling for your best friend's sister I see." Hoshiko wiggled her brows. "Did you court her or something?"
Aizawa shook his head, "Let's just say the feeling between us was mutual... it was just comfortable to be around each other... then we decided to make if official."
Hoshiko nodded in amusement, a teasing smile still on her face while Shohei was just happy to hear about it.
There was a moment of silence between the three.
"So." Hoshiko broke the ice and the two looked at her. "If you dated his mom... but then she died... doesn't that make you an ex-boyfriend?" Aizawa shrugged a bit, not getting her point. She turned to Shohei with a serious look. "Isn't it weird you're living with your mom's ex boyfriend?"
"Oh shut your face."
||
"Holy." Hoshiko held back her laugh as she stared at a picture she had found. "This might as well be the best picture ever."
Shohei moved over to look at the picture. He snorted and they started to laugh silently, shaking and looking like dying seals on the floor.
"What?" Aizawa, who had been picking through another batch of pictures. He hid some because looking at them pained him or made him sad, but there were those that were just embarrassing. "Is it another stupid picture of me and Hizashi?"
"Nope. Even better." Hoshiko showed him the picture and the man went red.
Aizawa's face was as red as a tomato when he saw the picture. "Oh jesus." He ran a hand through his hair as he looked at the polaroid picture of himself. This might as well be the worst photo of him.
The two were laughing so hard there wasn't even any sounds anymore. They were just dying on the floor with their mouth open and hands on their hurting stomachs.
"That one has to be displayed." Hoshiko and Shohei laughed even more.
Aizawa shook his head, looking terrified. "No. This picture must be burned." He looked at the written note at the back of the picture. "This memory must never be remembered."
