Chapter Text

To say Aizawa was scared was an understatement.

Nedzu has organised a faculty meeting with all of the teachers and staff of UA, about his class. Now he had a few ideas of what it could be, the amount of injuries they get, villain attacks, blowing up Gym Gamma for the fifth time this week...

But still every option had him terrified of the little rat, he could expel students whenever he seemed fit but Nedzu? who knows what that fucker would do,  strip him from his job? Possibly.

But still he walked along side Hizashi and Nemuri and acted as if everything was peachy even though he was having an existential crisis on the inside. Hizashi went first into the slaughter room and him and Nemuri followed closely behind, the conference room has always been creepy no matter how many fake plants and warm lighting candles Nemuri bought for the room. Aizawa thinks it adds to the funeral vibes even more.

"Ah just the man we've been waiting for Aizawa take a seat" The animal smiled as he patted the chair beside him, Aizawa tried to give a 'help me' look to his husband but Hizashi didn't seem to get the memo as he just smiled and pushed Aizawa TOWARDS his death sentence. With a slight groan of acknowledgement he took the seat and gave a small timid nod in the principle's direction. "Welcome everyone, as you may know Aizawa's first year class this year has been... interesting to say the least and with the past villain attacks their safety inside and outside the school premises have become and issue." Nedzu begins and Aizawa can just feel everyone's eyes lingering on him, he hated every bit of it. 

Yeah he agreed his class was reckless and always seemed to be a magnet for villains but couldn't Nedzu just send out an email?

"So to counter the situation I have gotten in contact with someone that a few or most of you should be familiar with." He continues as he takes a dramatic sip of his tea, and if as planned the doors swing open revealing a short male and Aizawa can guess he's no older than 14.

"Right on time Shouto, please take a seat" And of course the fucker points to the open seat beside Aizawa, can't he sit anywhere else? It was bad enough Nedzu was putting him through the embarrassment of talking about his class and now he wants him to talk to another kid too? His day really couldn't get any better.

The kid gives a small nod and slowly walks over and falls back into the chair beside Aizawa, he looks way to relaxed to be in a room filled with Pros, but Aizawa can tell there is still some part of him that is tense like he's on fire.

"So as a few of you many know Shouto is an Underground Pro called Blaze-" Nedzu was immediately cut off by a waves of gasps and and mumbling. A kid was a Pro?! Is that even legal?! how is he so young and why is a kid allowed to fight against villains?!

"I hear your opinions and I shall answer all your questions if Shouto does not feel comfortable." Nedzu explains as he is now the calmest person in the room, Aizawa bets any money that its that tea he drinks, probably laced with whiskey or some shit.

"So..." The kid looks to Nedzu for reassurance and he just nods toward the child. "Hi my name is Shouto Todoroki, if you didn't know that already uhm my hero name is Blaze, Yes Endeavour is my father, I got my provisional license at 12 and my official hero license got approved at age 14, I just turned 16 so I kinda know my way around heroics... uhm yeah any questions?" The kid was obviously nervous, but he couldn't blame him, being starred at by 12 Pros at 16 would be terrifying to Aizawa too. And that Sheepish smile he has on is an obvious cover for his fear.

"Not really a question but I thought it wasn't legal to get our provisional till you were 16? and you got it at 12?" Snipe asks the question they were all thinking but no one had the heart to say it.

"I guess being the no.1 heroes son you get a few perks? But i swear I'm qualified if your worried about it, Endeavour has been training me for a while now." Shouto mutters the last bit just enough for everyone to barely hear him, but to say Aizawa didn't agree with this was a huge understatement a literal child being sent out into missions that were dangerous for a Pro with 10 years of experience? Yeah no not on his watch and and Underground Pro too? those cases go deeper into trauma more than anyone could imagine, Aizawa would know, he's had a few that had left him in pieces and he still thinks about from time to time, and your telling him a kid had to suffer through that instead of being a teenager?

"Not to sound obnoxious or anything but why is a kid aloud to be a Pro? Underground for that matter, I get he's qualified but this is just outrageous I mean he's a fucking child." Vlad King so kindly shares his opinion and before he can finish Aizawa is already rolling his eyes and half asleep, He didn't hate the guy he just... deeply disliked him, and his class for that matter.

"Yes he is a child so keep your mouth shut Vlad, you shouldn't be cursing around him, you do that to your students?" Aizawa mumbles and he earns a few snickers and failed muffled laughs from his co-workers, even the kid seemed to relax a bit more, was that even possible? Vlad no doubt was about to go off on Aizawa but for once he thanks Nedzu as he starts talking.

"Glad you brought it up Vlad King, Yes Shouto may be youngest Hero there is in Japan most likely the world but he is very skilled, I would say he even tops your charts, He has been training under Endeavour as he mentioned and is currently working under his agency for missions 6 days a week, he is at the academic level of a third year and skill of a 30 year old Pro and Shadows Hawks for 2 days every week, So yes he is more than qualified if not more than you" Nedzu glares in Vlad's direction and a course of quiet applause for the kid erupts and even though Aizawa has only met him not even 10 minutes ago he feels a sense of pride for the kid and he's not even one of his.

Vlad clearly just gives up at this point and is now sat back in his chair with his arms crossed sulking like a man child, not Aizawa's problem.

"Back to why I even brought Shouto here, like I was saying, with Aizawa's class getting attacked at the USJ and Bakugou getting kidnapped at the Training Camp I am letting Shouto become a student here at UA, he will be in Aizawa's class, and stay at 1A dorms, he will complete classwork and homework but he will not be marked on it, he is going to be here as a bodyguard not a student, his job is to stay with the class at all times and act as a bodyguard, under any circumstance the students must not know he is a Pro. Understood?" Nedzu asks in a serious tone that will have Aizawa on edge for at least the next hour.

When he sees a few nodding and people agreeing Nedzu dismisses them, of course he is kept back though.

"Aizawa, would you please stay for a few minutes to discuss about Shouto?" The principle asks and did Aizawa even have a choice? He sunk back down into his chair turning his attention towards the only two left in the room.

"I am giving Shouto permission to leave the dorms at 11 p.m. every night so he can still attend his missions alongside Hawks, he will only be aloud to go on missions if he is accompanied by Keigo and we need him to call ahead and confirm that, I will get you his number if you don't have it already, and I know its obvious but Shouto will have to report back to you every week or day you two can agree on a time about your class, how they are improving and how they are outside of your gaze, I think that is all any questions please contact me, you two many leave, thank you." And with that the little rat scurries off into the hall leaving the two humans left in silence.

Great another problem child to take care of. Well better make the most of it, he seems like a nice enough kid at least.

"Alright kid let's get moving then" Aizawa huffs out as him and his new problem child begin to walk to 1A Dorms. "So how does this work? Do I introduce myself as me or like a fake last name? and is my quirk too much of a dead giveaway or do I tell them about that too?" The kid was obviously panicking but refusing to show it on his face, but he was right in a way, if you know the hero Blaze and you connect the dots back to Endeavour you would be able to tell that it's Shouto. But Nedzu didn't say anything about it so I guess it's fine?

"Uh Nedzu didn't mention that stuff soo I say just go for it, act like yourself and I'm sure it'll be fine." The kid just nods so Aizawa takes that as a win.

"What time do I have to be back in the morning? After my missions." "Well school starts at 7:45 and I'm pretty sure the earliest riser is Bakugou at 6:30 so anytime before that, but remember kid you need sleep too, you can't just have class all day and work all night." Aizawa says as he turns towards the kid so he knows he's being serious. Aizawa knew this would be a lot of work for an adult, but for a kid? Aizawa just hopes that he won't burn himself out too much.

"You don't need to worry about me Aizawa, you have 20 other kids to keep you busy." And Aizawa runs his hands down his face dramatically, this kid is going to be the death of him and they haven't even gotten to the dorms yet. "Kid your one of my students now, that means my responsibilities don't end when you leave my classroom and I mean that. Just promise me you'll take care of yourself, and I'm always here to help, your just a kid after all." He makes sure to put his hand gently on Shouto's shoulder and squeeze it slightly just for reassurance.

Shouto give a firm nod and a small smile before tilting his head to the left, Aizawa's gaze follows and he realises they are in front of the dorms and a few of his problem children are staring at them from inside the common room, not all of them are back yet since it's a Sunday and they were aloud to go home for the weekends but still there was more than what Aizawa would have liked for Shouto's first time at the dorms.

"Alright kid, you ready? I'll warn you they can be a bit nosy some times especially with new people" He lets out a breathless laugh and Shouto just smirks "Please I've dealt with paparazzi since I was born, I got this." And with that Shouto is already starting to walk up the steps towards the door. But Aizawa can't help but feel some empathy for the kid, a hero at such a young age and with the pressure of being Endeavor's kid too. But what confused Aizawa most was his comment about the paparazzi, Endeavour had strict rules and made sure no-one but Pros knew about his kids.

"You coming or what old man?" The kid teases and Aizawa can't help but smile as he quickly follows up the steps and pushes the door open.

He just hopes his kids won't attack Shouto right away.

Chapter Text

 Shouto pauses as his hand touches the door handle, no turning back after he opens this door.

"Nervous?" The older man asks as he places a gentle hand on Shouto's shoulder. "Please, I don't get nervous" He let's out a shaky breathe before pushing the door open where 8 sets of eyes immediately turn to him. "Uh hi" He mutter with a small and very awkward wave.

"Welcome back problem children, I don't know if Nedzu has already spoken to you guys, but this is your new classmate be nice, make sure to introduce him to the rest of the class when they get back, I expect high standards from you all." Aizawa starts off with a small smile but as he finishes his speech he make sure to send a glare in each kids direction. Just for fun.

"Good luck kid" He whispers before leaving Shouto with his new classmates.

"Omg! this is amazing! let me introduce you to everyone" A bright pink girl squeals as she grabs Shouto's bicep dragging him further into the common room. He had already memorised everyone's full name and quirk the day before but he can't let them know that. He looks around the room seeing a few familiar faces, Mina Ashido, Kirishima Eijiro, Denki Kamanari, Jirou Kyouka, Sero Hanta, Shinso Hitoshi, Bakugou Katsuki and... Minetta Minorou. Shouto lets out a small sigh, it was going so well until he set his eyes on the purple pervert, He still doesn't know how he's not kicked out but Shouto will be damned if he doesn't get him expelled in a week give or take.

Shouto zones out as Mina introduces him to everyone already giving him the privilege of first names. "And lastly this grumpy guy in the corner is-" "Bakugou Katsuki" Shouto whispers and he gets a very loud scoff from Bakugou in return. "What you heard of me on the news or some shit?" He growls and Shouto gives a small nod, he could tell Bakugou was thinking of his kidnapping, his body language was too obvious, arms crossed over the chest, head low. "yeah actually, you came first at the Sports festival right? I have to say my father was impressed  by your skill considering your so young." Shout continues with a small smile with seeing Bakugou's mood changing drastically, his head was now held high and he didn't curl in on himself as much.

"And why would I care about your old man aye? I don't even know the fucker" Bakugou snarls a small smirk tugging at his lips, "Please I think your very familiar with him, Shouto Todoroki by the way" Now Shouto was the one who had a shit eating grin across his face as he extended a hand in Bakugou's direction. "HOLY SHIT! Your Endeavours kid!?" Denki screams so loud Shouto swears he almost burst his eardrums. Bakugou now has a sort of pleased look plastered across his face... well Shouto can only presume that's what his contorted face expression is.

Shouto gives a small nod before he hears groaning from the floor beside him, oh his bad he means the from the 4ft bastard who is now taking it upon himself to physically push Mina away so he can cling to Shouto's leg like a rabid dog, Shouto barley contains a gag.

"Well my name is Minetta, I have a feeling we are going to be great friends, maybe I should meet at your house next weekend to study. will Endeavour be there? can I get his Autograph?" He rambles and Shouto dangles his leg in the air and shakes it making Minetta plonk on the ground, he has zero balance so of course he lands on his ass. Shouto can hear the few snickers from Denki and Sero and out of the corner of his eye he can see Shinso trying to contain himself. "Well I feel like throwing up" Shouto mutters earning a cackle from Jirou as he wipes off his pants leg.

"Ignoring him, you should totally come to the mall with us tomorrow! please it will be sooo much fun!" Mina begs as she gives her best puppy eyes in Shouto's direction, well this is gonna be fun, not even two minutes in the door and he is already recruited by a group and a very clingy group to say the least.

"Uh yeah sure" He mutters and Mina's face lights up completely. What has he gotten himself into this time?

"C'mon man I'll show you your room, Aizawa has filled me in for the most part" Shinso speaks out as he holds up his phone with a few text messages from their teacher, Shouto though he caught the name, 'Dad' was at the top of the screen, he knew he saw the connection when Nedzu gave him a brief rundown of the students 'And lastly is Shinso Ai-Hitoshi, he moved in a few months ago' That rat really can't keep a secret at all, Shouto smirks to himself.

"Yeah thanks" He smiles as he follows Shinso towards the elevator, it was quiet, neither of them wanting to be the first to speak but Shouto found peace in it.

It dinged at the fourth floor and Shinso walks out first looking back to make sure Shouto is following him, "This is Bakugou's room, Sero's, Mine and this one is yours" He smiles as he takes the keys out of the door handing them to Shouto, "Do you need help unpacking?" He asks with a sheepish smile but Shouto just shakes his head, "I think I'm okay thanks" He replies as he pushes open the door to reveal his room already furnished with all of Shouto's personal belongings. "Uh Endeavour hired movers for me so I didn't "Waste time" Setting up the room" He smiles and Shinso just lets out a breathless laugh.

"Well it looks good, Bakugou is just about to start making dinner for everyone, you hungry? your more than welcome to eat with us, plus a few of the others would be coming back now so you could get to know everyone" Shinso asks as he starts walking back to the elevator pleased to see Shouto is following him quietly.

Shouto yawns as he stretches out his arms "Might as well, guess I have to make a good first impression right? and what food will chef Bakugou cook up tonight? cause I live off of soba and coffee." Shouto admits as he scratches the back of his neck. The other male just laughs quietly as they finally get back into the elevator. "I can agree on coffee I'd drink it instead of water most days but I'm more of a curry guy." He smirks and Shouto just knows their going to be best friends, coffee, Aizawa and insomnia, has Shinso told him about that? well no, but the eyebags and the tired look in his eyes tells Shouto more than he needs.

When they finally reach the common room Shouto realises how much of a bad idea it was to follow Shinso, now there was 19 students watching him, yay.

"Shouto?" A female voice says quietly, he almost missed it if it wasn't for her running full speed in him direction... Momo. "I-Shit Hi" He mutters as the girl wraps her arms around him tightly "Language!" She hisses as she give a light hit to his head.

"Uhm sorry to disturb but who are you? are you one of Shinso's friends?" A green haired male asks and of course Shouto recognises him as no other than Izuku Midoriya. Shouto takes this opportunity with his whole heart. "Oh yeah best friends" He smirks as he turns to face Shinso Momo being long gone muttering about making him some tea. Shinso just smiles and laughs giving Shouto a small push on his shoulder. "I've known you for a whole 20 minutes" He rasps as he plops down on the couch beside Denki.

"Wow abandoning me to deal with this? Not very heroic Shinso" Shouto fake pouts as he earns the finger from Shinso as he sticks his tongue out at him.

"This is entertainment at it's finest." He hears Sero snort from the other side of the couch. "I'm sorry but if you cannot identify yourself I'm afraid your going to have to be removed from the premises" Tenya speaks up and Shouto places a hand on his heart and makes a fake hurt sound. "Tenya you wound me, Momo recognises me but you don't? Shouto Todoroki, your new classmate" He smiles as he extends a hand in Tenya's direction.

"I-Shouto my apologies, you've changed so much, how are you?" Tenya rambles as he pushes Shouto's hand away taking him into a VERY tight and stiff hug, no seriously Shouto doesn't think he can breathe properly.

"Well other than not being able to breathe-yeah great" He gives a sheepish smile as Tenya quickly lets go and pats down his shirt from where it got wrinkled. "Uhm still don't know who this cutie is, you said new classmate though right?!" A female voice squeals and Shouto can only presume it was the invisible girl, Hagakure Toru.

"Well I guess it's time for introductions, Hi my name is Shouto Todoroki feel free to call me Shouto and yes I am your new classmate any other questions ask Aizawa" He bows as he hears multiple 'Welcomes' from the class and Mina takes it upon herself once again to introduce everyone by first and last name, and he will admit he's starting to like her, maybe his time here won't be so miserable as he thought.

She then drags him onto the couch Shinso on his left and her on his right, Sero and Denki were also sprawled out on the couch but they seemed to invested in their game of Mario Kart to care about the new person on the couch. There was a few people on the floor, Tokoyami, Kouda, Uaraka, Tsuyu or Tsu, Ojiro and the floating clothes Shouto can guess is Hagakure.

"So how does Yaoyarozu and Iida know you?" Midoriya asks and Shouto can barley hold back a scoff, it's not that he didn't like the guy or anything he just.. wasn't too fond of him, he took notes on everything from your personal life to your eating habits and no one else seems to notice how weird it is.

"Oh well we met at Hero Galas mostly but sometime we would go to each others houses, our parents work together sometimes" He replies as Mina is now looking intently at his nails and Shinso's head has found its way onto his shoulder, but he doesn't mind.

"Oh that's so cool, with Yaoyarozu's parents and their technology and Iida's family with their quirks and Hero status they already make a good team, what does your parents do?" Midoriya continues, does he ever get tired of talking?

"Well my mother isn't into anything fancy she just likes being a mother to me and my siblings but my father's a hero so he gets to test the new equipment from Momo's parents and he sometimes works alongside Iida's" Shouto smiles as he nods in Mina's direction after she holds up black nail polish and his right hand gesturing that she wanted to paint his nails, her face has the biggest grin ever and Shouto didn't have the heart to say no.

"Oh what's your father's name? do we know him?" Uaraka asks and Shouto gives a small nod, "I'd say your quite familiar with him, uhm Enji Todoroki, also known as Endeavour." Shouto mutters the last part and he almost laughs at the faces of his classmates as more than half of them has their mouths open in shock. "Your dad is the number 1 hero?!" Ojiro says in surprise and Shouto just nods.

He can hear a few of his classmates make comments about how proud he must be of his father and how he's a good hero so he must be a great father but all Shouto can do is smile and nod even though those words stab his heart every time it's said, 'Great father' oh he wished.

"Here it's peppermint" Momo says sweetly as she hands Shouto a mug of tea, "Thanks Momo" He replies and she give him a small nod before scurrying back to the kitchen where he can see preparation for dinner is taking place, Bakugou and Sato are both cutting up vegetables and stirring pots while Kirishima sits on a chair yapping, well trying to talk to Bakugou.

"Okay now just keep your hand there so it can dry" Mina says as she hold his hand slightly in the air so it didn't touch anything and Shouto nods for a minute before coming up with a fabulous idea, it wasn't that he was impatient or anything but he just hated waiting you know?, he places his tea on the coffee table before hovering his left hand over his right and in a matter of seconds the nail polish was completely dry.

"...I don't think I've ever been more jealous of someone in my life" Mina pouts and Shouto replies in a small laugh the next thing he know his left hand is now in her grip as she is continuing to paint his nails. 

"EXTRAS! foods ready eat it or don't i couldn't care less!" Bakugou screams from the kitchen just as Mina finishes his last nail, he dries it again with ease and watches as she pouts again, "If you ever need your nails dried I guess and I can do that too" He mutter as she hugs him tightly thanking him over and over as she complains about how bored she gets when she has to wait for hers to dry.

"Racoon eyes! Mind fuck! Half n' Half! Get over here before I drag your asses here myself!" Bakugou shouts and Mina happily bounces over sitting beside Jirou.

"Fuck is he always this loud?" Shouto mutter and Shinso just laughs lifting his head from Shouto's shoulder, "You get used to it, now c'mon before he actually blows us to pieces" Shinso smirks as he drags Shouto to a table by his wrist.

They both sit down with the 'Baku squad' or so Mina called it and of course Shouto was pushed into the middle yet again, Sero on his left and Kirishima on his right, beside him was Bakugou and opposite him was Shinso and Mina with Jirou and Denki on either side of them, "I'm offended Shouto" Denki rasps as he puts one hand on his heart the other wrapped around Shinso's arm, "Barely here two hours and your already stealing my boyfriend" He gasps dramatically and everyone at the table just laughs.

"Aye we are just best friends right Shinso?" He smirks and Shinso just smiles back at him.

Shouto was surprised to say he was enjoying their company normally the only person he can survive with for more than an hour is Hawks. It was going well, everyone was laughing and smiling and he seemed to have made a good impression on the rest of the class or so Jirou had told him, Bakugou seemed nice enough when he wasn't yelling and Kirishima assured him he's nice under all the shouting, Denki, Sero and Mina were easy to get along with too, they were funny and didn't care if he was talking back or not they'd still continue to include him in the conversation.

…Until he heard the most annoying voice in the world and Shouto swears this fucker is going to be the death of him, "So ladies how about an invite to girls night? I bet my presence will just make the whole night better" Minetta asks as he stands beside the table where the other four girls are sat. "Uhm no, sorry Minetta but it's girls night for a reason and your not exactly the most respectful when it comes to women" Uaraka mutter apologetically. Shouto can't help but grit his teeth, if he was Uaraka that little fucker would have already been slapped right across his smug little face and drop kicked into the sun.

"Is he always suck a little freak?" Shouto mutters only to realises it was louder than intended when everyone at his table fail to hide their snickers. "Your actually not that annoying Half n' Half" Bakugou comments and Shouto smiles as Mina had told him earlier that's how Bakugou complements someone. "Uh ya he's been a perv from like the first day of school but none of us can get any proof to give to a teacher, without it they can't do anything about it unfortunately" Jirou sighs and Shouto just nods sympathetically.

But he knows damn well he can get this bitch out of the hero course by next week, and he will bet any money on it.

"Did you try voice recording?" Shouto asks and Mina nods " We've tried it but he notices if a phone is in sight so hiding it is the only option, except that muffle the audio and then it practically useless." Mina sighs in defeat but this just gives Shouto a lightbulb moment.

"Have you tired a com?" He asks and by the confused looks from his classmates he can presume that's a no.

"A communication device, like this, its a small device like an earplug but its flush to your ear so it's not easily spotted but picks up audio and sends it to the receiver which in this case could be a phone, send it to Aizawa and he's gone from the hero course." Shouto continues as he pulls up a picture of the com and he can see Bakugou smirking. "I'm in" He growls and he can see the rest of the table nod in agreement.
