"ARE you free this weekend?", chisaki asked hoshimi.

since chisaki, kurono, and irinaka all majored in the medical field, they had more classes in common with hoshimi than they thought.

"oh, umm I'm actually having dinner with my dad and boyfriend. so maybe we can hangout another time?", hoshimi apologetically said as she packed up her things.

"you're seriously dating that crusty boy?", irinaka asked.

hoshimi frowned a bit. it was one thing for dabi to call shigaraki crusty, but anyone else was not allowed.

"yeah, and?"

"nothing. don't mind him", chisaki said, glancing over at irinaka, who immediately shut up.

"anyways. I guess I'll let you know when I'm free", hoshimi said as she walked out of the classroom.

"boss, why do you even like this girl? she's nothing special", irinaka said.

kurono looked over at irinaka, shaking his head.

chisaki turned to look at irinaka.

"I'll pretend I didn't hear that", he said as he walked away, with kurono following close behind.

irinaka shook his head and sighed. also following after them.

shigaraki was now regretting how he first talked to aizawa. he remembered sassing him back about the baby project at the beginning of the year.

he really hoped aizawa would just completely forget it and give him another chance.

"relax tomura. I'm sure he doesn't even remember", hoshimi smiled, knocking on the door of her old house.

aizawa opened the door, wearing sweatpants and a sweatshirt with cats on it.

"oh. you're the boy that complained about the baby project at the beginning of the year", aizawa said in his monotone voice.

shigaraki started sweating. "s-sorry sir!", he bowed.

aizawa just scratched his head. "yeah whatever. come in".

hoshimi chuckled while pulling on shigaraki's button up. toga advised him to dress up a bit as he's formally meeting hoshimi's dad as her boyfriend.

right as shigaraki walked into the house, 2 cats came trotting towards him and hoshimi.

"awww, did you miss me?", hoshimi cooed, petting both cats.

shigaraki bent down. he's had a dog before, but never any cats. he stuck his finger out, not sure what to do.

the cats sniffed his finger, then walking to his side. they rubbed their small bodies against his leg.

"milo and lilo likes you", hoshimi smiled.

hoshimi picked up milo while shigaraki picked up lilo. aizawa had set up the paper plates and ordered pizza. he couldn't be bothered to cook a meal after a whole day of grading assignments.

"have some pizza", aizawa said. "I ordered it with some free coupons I got from the neighbors".

shigaraki nodded and just got himself two slices of pepperoni pizza. he ate in silence as he was an introvert to begin with, and he was very worried.

"so, how long have y'all been a thing?", aizawa asked.

"a few months. we've only recently started dating", hoshimi replied.

"what are you gonna do for the future?", aizawa asked.

"I'm currently working part-time at a gaming store and streaming whenever I have time", shigaraki answered.

he knew that wasn't a very impressive answer, but he also didn't want to lie.

"what the hell is streaming? does that make money?"

hoshimi chuckled. "streaming on twitch. it's for gamers all over the world. they could either play games themselves and have others watch them, or vice versa", she briefly explained.

"once I get enough subscribers and views, I'll make money", shigaraki added on.

aizawa just nodded.

"what are your plans for the next 5 years?", he asked.

"make twitch streaming a stable job, continue dating your daughter, and work towards buying a house", shigaraki replied honestly.

hoshimi just listened as the two men conversed. she finished her pizza and went to go get the sweets from the fridge.

aizawa put his pizza down, looking straight at shigaraki, dead in the eyes.

"I'm giving you a chance since the cats seem to like you. but if you ever hurt her, I'll have you suspended for unknown reasons", aizawa bluntly said, as he continued to eat.

shigaraki just furiously nodded his head. he watched as hoshimi came back with some cupcakes.

after eating dessert, hoshimi was told to go get something for aizawa while him and shigaraki were sitting on the couch.

aizawa took out a book of pictures of baby hoshimi.

"hoshimi's mom left us because she was a cheating hoe. so I had to raise her up all by myself. I'm sure your father understands as well, how hard it was to raise a child singlehandedly", aizawa said, flipping through the pages.

shigaraki glanced at aizawa, focusing more on his words than the actual pictures.

although the man didn't seem to care much for his daughter, his actions showed more than his words. he loved his daughter very much, and you could tell by how he talked to her.

"I usually don't say this to her or anyone, but she really means a lot to me. it was hard bringing a brat up". shigaraki just nodded, indicating for him to continue.

"and I'd be damned if I just let some boy that's going to later on break her heart take her away".

shigaraki looked at aizawa.

"sir, I'd never break hoshimi's heart, at least not intentionally. I hope to show her a whole new world of happiness like she showed me", shigaraki said.

aizawa raised an eyebrow. he gave out a low chuckle.

"that was cheesy as hell. but sure, we'll see where this one goes".

hoshimi soon came back with more photo albums. sitting in between aizawa and shigaraki, she opened the book up.

"damn. you were an ugly child", aizawa commented.

hoshimi gasped while shigaraki just smiled.

"and who did I get the looks from?", hoshimi retorted.
