Single young dad Pro Hero Izuku who lost his wife and hero partner shortly after their baby boy was born and elementary school teacher Katsuki who always sees the kid being picked up late from school.

At first, Katsuki doesn’t think much about the boy waiting all alone on the

benches in front of the school, the teacher just waits near the doors for the usual black car to pick the kid up. The boy never perks up when he leaves, he’s always gloomy and looking down, while getting on the passenger seat of the car and finally leaves.
It becomes unsettling.

But what is more unsettling for Katsuki, is the fact that he always looks full of spirit and overflowing of happiness in the morning. He’s a happy looking kid most of the day, he talks about hero comics with his small group of friends and goes out to play with them.

He looks at everything with big green eyes that seem to never stop dreaming. But then, the magic stops when the school day ends.

Once again, Katsuki is near the door and he’s about to step outside to tell the kid to wait inside the building, when a young looking man lands

right in front of the school, wearing a hero costume.
It alarms Katsuki. There might be a villain nearby.

“Genki-kun, inside!” Katsuki says while running outside to grab the boy.

“Huh? Why?” The little kid turns to look at his teacher, eyes big and bright. “It’s just my dad.”

Katsuki raises a thin eyebrow when he looks up at the hero in front of them. He must be almost a feet taller than him, with the same big green eyes the kid has and messy green curly hair that seems to be getting too long. By looking at his costume, he finally knows who he is.

But his expression doesn’t change, he’s still behind the kid.

“You.” Katsuki starts “So the number one hero is Genki-kun’s dad?”

The kid seems to get excited at that “Yes, he is!” He says happily, still looking at his teacher. That explains the kid’s last name.

“Well, thank you for your hard work. But please consider doing a better job at being on time to pick up your kid. That should be some basic parenting for you.” Is what Katsuki says, with a serious face that only changes when he looks down at the boy and pats his back for him to

go to his dad. “Take care on your way home, kiddo, remember to do your homework.”

“Yes!” It’s what Genki replies and he proceeds to do a quick run towards his father, who’s silently waiting in front of them.

Katsuki looks at the young man kneel down to pick his kid up, talking

in a low soft tone of voice that Katsuki can barely catch, but he knows he’s asking the boy for his day. And Genki seems to be replying happily, holding onto his dad’s neck.

Katsuki is glad he’s smiling, but he still looks at the Pro Hero Deku with a frown on his face.

The Pro Hero seems to be... embarrassed.

“Thank you for looking out for my son. Have a good day.” He bows and then takes a few steps back, looking like he’s about to jump.

“Yeah, you too, number one.”

And, with that said, the Pro Hero finally jumps away with his son.

Tbc?

It has been almost two weeks since Katsuki met the number one hero and Genki’s dad in front of the school. After that, there was no sight of the young Pro Hero Deku and Genki was once again leaving on the black car.

It infuriated Katsuki to another level. But every time he

tried to call Deku for a parent–teacher meeting, the Pro Hero was unavailable.

The life of a hero must be that busy. And there’s not much he can do now, since the summer break has started, which only makes him hope that Genki is spending more time with his parents.

He walks down the street market with a heavy bag full of groceries and fresh vegetables, he’s planning on preparing some salmon with asparagus and smashed potatoes for dinner. It smells like street food from the smalls food stands and the sound of bells that ring when someone

walks in or out of the nearby bakery. To add on, it’s hot as hell outside and Katsuki has the curse of sweating too much.

But again, nothing he can do.

He looks at the bakery’s entrance for a moment and realizes he might as well buy something sweet for dessert. And being

inside a place with AC doesn’t sound so bad right now.
So he walks towards the main entrance while fixing his tote bag on his shoulder and reaches for the door handle, just to have someone push it almost against his face from inside.

“Hey, watch it, ya idiot!” Is Katsuki’s

instant response, pushing his sight glasses back to the top of the bridge of his nose. He doesn’t look at the person in front of him, just fixes the bag once again “I could have tripped.”

“Oh, Bakugou-sensei!”

Katsuki recognizes the soft, little voice and he looks at the kid

standing in front of him. It’s Genki, dressed up with casual summer clothes that don’t match and a hat with a hero Endeavor design that... still doesn’t match. It’s funny, in a sense.
Behind him stands his father and number one hero, Deku. The tall guy is carrying two tote bags

like they weight nothing and two other bags that seem to be from the bakery Katsuki was about to go into.

“Sorry for Genki opening the door on your face, I was trying to stop him from running.” The guy says, embarrassment takes over his face once again.

“It’s fine...”

Wouldn’t have been fine if it was someone else, of course.

They move to the side of the outside of the bakery when Izuku realizes they’re blocking the entrance.

“Guess today is grocery day for everyone.” Says the Pro Hero and Katsuki shrugs.

“Well, it’s kind of nice outside, just hot as hell.” Katsuki replies “Summer vacation is always a mess with sweaty people and all that.”

Sweaty people including him.
The young man laughs at that and Katsuki looks at him and then at Genki, who’s sticking to his dad’s side while

holding what seems to be a milkshake, between his hands.

“Are you... gonna buy something?”

“Was thinking about it.”

“They started selling milkshakes and Boba tea inside.”

Katsuki slowly nods “I was wondering about that.” He says, pointing with his chin at Genki.

There’s a long silence between them.

“Day off from hero work?” Katsuki suddenly asks.

The Pro Hero smiles a little at him and nods “Two weeks, actually, handling an agency can be exhausting.”

It seems like it.

“Well, I’m glad about that.” Is the only thing Katsuki says.

“Well, I won’t stop you from getting something sweet. I’ll... see you around?” The guy says and Genki waves goodbye at his teacher before they start to turn around, but Katsuki stops them.

He really wants to have a conversation with Genki’s dad about who picks him up, he might

sound like he’s getting into something that doesn’t concern him, but he has a need to know how Genki’s life at home is and that he’s not being neglected by his parents.

“Wait!” He says. Inviting them to eat would be the best idea. “Actually, would you like to

eat at my place... like, for dinner? You can bring your wife too, I’d like to meet Genki’s parents if that’s okay with you.”

Pho Hero Deku seems a little taken aback by that, and it looks like his eyes have lost their brightness for a little, but he then perks up when Genki

gets excited because of the invitation.

“Say yes, dad! Please!”

The young man laughs softly while looking at his son and nods, lifting his head towards Katsuki “Y-yeah, we would love that. Do you need my phone number? To send me the address.”

“Yeah, let’s exchange numbers.”

With that said and done, Deku and Genki left the market and Katsuki finally went inside to buy something sweet at the bakery. The blond man decided for it to be something big to share at dinner tonight. He at least wants to give a better impression.
