He can't say that he didn't expect the child to get clingy and attached; of course they would, but so soon and to him? The guy who doesn't look as friendly and approachable for children? The tired-looking man with a scary quirk and a strict appearance. But now he had a little tail, following him around and clinging to him silently.

He found them, horribly traumatized and jumped on by a villain in an alley, hiding behind trash bins. It was... Not the nicest view: a bloodied, scared, bruised child in need of help from someone, when everyone walked past them and only a hero, confusing them for a cat, helped them.

Three weeks in a hospital, trying to find a home for the poor child, too scared to talk, and now he had to take responsibility for them, since there weren't any parents who would like to take care of them, at least for now.

Going to the academy with the child wasn't the best idea, but he didn't have any options. They were glued to this 'nice hero's side, not wanting to let go.

Weeks passed, and they got used to it. Got used to his class, to the trainings, to his colleagues, and to the U.A. itself.

One day, accidentally getting lost in the hallways of the school, they started crying, whining until a student found them, taking the child to another teacher, then to another, then to Aizawa. Finally, the child was at their classroom. Noticing Aizawa, they let go of the student's hand, and they rushed to him, whining, crying, clinging, and sobbing out a soft 'Dad!'
