Jozawa - 16 (Father's Day)

Hi, this is just a small idea I had.

Enjoy~

Aizawa's POV

I picked up my stuff, heading for Joue's apartment across the hall. I had been working on a few things for Nezu before Joue and I were going out for lunch. I opened the door, stopping when I saw a bunch of small things on my doormat. I sighed, having almost stepped on them. I picked a few up, looking at them briefly. I hadn't identified them yet before I realized I was probably waiting overtime for our lunch plans. I shoved the things inside and knock on Joue's door.

She opened it up, all ready to go as I had expected. She smiled at me, shutting the door to leave. Today she was wearing a pink shirt paired with cream colored shorts. The thing was that they had strawberries printed all along them with strawberry earring to match.

"Hello," she hummed, locking up her door.

"Why so cute?" I asked and she glanced at me with a redness to her face.

"Hah?"

"Why the strawberries?"

"Oh, I used to wear all this stuff when I was younger. I forgot how into fruit themes I was," she stated, dipping her head and shaking it so her face was hidden.

"Well it's very cute, that's why I mentioned it."

"Thanks," she laughed, rocking back and forth from foot to foot. I noticed she was wearing sweet pink sneakers as well. What I had neglected to notice until now was how matched she was most of the time. She really had a thing for color coordination. "Are we going?"

"Yes, after you Strawberry Shortcake," I teased.

"Stop, you have no idea how much I wanted to be her as a kid," Joue replied, latching onto my arm. "She was really the aesthetic I was looking for, you know?"

I nodded and she began talking about things here and there as we walked and for the duration of our short trip to a lunch place. She instructed me to sit down and ordered for us, which was peculiar of her to do so. She usually didn't like to do that on her own. She came back with food, placing it in front of me. I realized she had tricked me into paying as well.

"You really didn't have to buy lunch you know," I stated.

"I know you make more money," she said, waving me off, "but I still make money, I can pay for lunch."

"I know that, but—"

"Yeah, yeah I get it you're a gentleman," she said, scrunching up her nose. I smirked slightly before beginning to eat. I had to admit that I ate a fair amount more being around Joue. It wasn't that I never ate before or that it was a problem, but I tended to eat breakfast and dinner everyday. Now Joue was feeding me warm meals and snacks all day.

"Well thank you for lunch then."

"It's fine, it just reminds me. Happy Father's Day," she stated and I nearly choked on my beverage.

"Excuse me?" I asked.

"Happy...father's day?" She reiterated. She was looking at me peculiarly, as if she hadn't expected this reaction. "Are you alright?"

"I'm not a dad," I stated, a napkin over my mouth. I could see her pause, the gears turning in her head before she spoke.

"I know, but you're basically a father to your students," she pointed out. "Didn't they give you your little gifts?"

"That's what was at my front door?"

"Yeah," she replied. "I mean it's kind of a joke but really not. You do recognize that some of them call you dad behind your back, right? (Y/n) says that to your face."

"I didn't think they were serious."

"Aizawa, you are so intelligent, but that is probably the dumbest thing you've ever said," Joue stated. "Dad or not, Denki colored a paper tie for you and the whole class got you a yellow one to match your sleeping bag."

"Oh my–" I placed a hand at my forehead. "Those kids."

"They're cute kids," Joue said, continuing to eat their lunch. I glanced at her, letting out a sigh.

"Thank you then, for the holiday wish," I stated.

"You're welcome, you're like class 1-a's baby daddy," she said, smugly smiling down at her food.

"Don't–say that," I said, laughing ever so slightly.

"Come on! They were a surprise and suddenly you have to parent them? Baby daddy," she stated and I covered my mouth. She glanced up at me, proud of her own revelation. We ate and returned, her bidding me adieu. She pat my arm before returning inside her own apartment. I entered mine, picking up the gifts that I had ignored earlier. I began sifting through them, most of it being little cards. The main thing was the mug and tie. The tie was yellow as Joue had stated and the mug was labeled with 'best dad'.

The next morning for school, I reluctantly changed from my normal attire to something that warranted a tie. I filled up the mug, heading to class. Of course, everyone seemed happy that I was using their gifts. It was a moment of slight defeat, but mainly a show of affection. They weren't going to get this very often.

"Alright, partner up," I stated, setting down my mug of coffee to bring their attention back to class. At the end of the day, I headed for the teacher's lounge to let myself in. I strode I'm not even two steps before Midnight called out.

18+ ISH THEMES

"Woah hoh hoh, dad coming through," she said. "With the tie and the mug and the dad loafers, oh my god what a dilf, woo hoo!"

"Stop talking like that."

"Yes sir," she replied and I sighed, used to her antics. She had an odd way of hyping people up or giving compliments, but I knew what she meant. I glanced at Joue who was leaning against the counter, staring at my shoes.

"How does Joue get to skip Mother's Day, as if she doesn't feed and watch after 1-A," I stated and she glanced up at me.

"Don't bring me into this," she said. "I'm not the one dressed like a dilf."

"Oh!" Midnight called. "It's the khakis."

"Stop it," I stated and Midnight smirked, Joue feeding her attitude.

"Next year they'll celebrate Mother's Day with Joue," Midnight said, "she hasn't reached her full milf potential yet."

"Stop, Denki already tells me about Bakugo's mom everyday, I don't need to be a milf," Joue said, giving her a dirty look.

"Whatever, have fun raising 20 or more kids," Midnight said, picking up her drink. She looked to me, "bye daddy."

"Just go," I instructed and she headed out. "She has well intentions, but sometimes I do not understand her."

"That's fair," Joue replied, pressing her lips into a thin line. "You really did it up today tho, huh?"

"I guess," I replied. "They get one day."

"One day," she nodded, studying me. "You really do look like a dad, it's oddly not fitting but fitting at the same time. I wouldn't expect you to wear this everyday, but I could see you wearing it often."

"Can't believe this is my responsibility now."

"It's not so bad," Joue stated, almost giving my opinion out loud, since I heavily agreed with her in that aspect. She pat the counter as she cleared her throat. "Well, I've got to get to my office to talk with Nezu. Maybe I'll see you later daddy."

She pat my arm twice before turning to head out as well and I watched her leave. My eyes were slightly wide, confused as to if she had slipped up and meant dad or something else. Her and midnight were really trying to screw with me, huh? The door shut and I rolled my eyes, seating myself down.

The whole Denki thing is just a joke, him hitting on Bakugo's mom
