A/N: This chapter is a lot shorter than the rest. But were starting to get the ball rolling on some action. I have several chapters mapped out. After this little "arc" we will be starting where the anime picks up with the first day of school
"What are your thoughts on our colleagues knowing about us?" I ask as we began walking to work. I wanted to know their stance on the issue but at the same time I was talking just to fill the silence. If it continued I'd get trapped in my thoughts again.
"I want them all to know," Hizashi laughed wrapping his arm across my shoulder.
"I don't care who knows," Shouta said stifling a yawn behind his hand "Though we should keep it more professional once the term starts." I nodded my head. It was already public knowledge about my sexual preference. My last agency and narcissistic ex made sure of that. Any one with internet could find that little bit of information about the pro hero Tyga. Atsumi was able to get the worst of the slander and hate speech taken down. But... the internet is forever. That information will always be out there for anyone to access as long as they have to determination to find it.
"Sounds good," I said as we walked through the front gate.

We stood outside of Principle Nezu's office. Hizashi rubbing circles on my back and Shouta grasping my hand. "We will be right here Kai. No matter what happens in that room we won't be going anywhere."
"Damn I really hope that's true," I breathed out my voice cracking a little. I shook my head and lifted my hand to knock lightly "It's Tyga."
"Please come in," Nezu's high voice rang through. With a small smile behind me I opened the door and stepped through.
Nezu was sitting at his desk a steaming cup of tea in his hands. We wasn't the only two in the room. Across from him sat an older woman. Her black hair a curly mop on top of her head. She was wearing a black pencil skirt and a blazer over top of a white dress shirt. Everything about her screamed government dog. My body tensed as I began taking in the scents in the room.
They were diverse. Curiosity. Shame. Urgency. Desperation. Fear.
Scrunching my nose at the onslaught I first addressed Nezu. "You asked to speak with me sir?"
"Please have a seat Tyga," He gestured to the seat beside woman
"I'll stand thanks," I said firmly.
"It seems I caused you great offense the other day." Nezu said his voice small. He sat his tea down on his desk and looked up at me with sad eyes. "That wasn't my intention. I apologize. I and the rest of the staff here at UA trust you and are deeply thrilled to have you as a member. The details I know concerning your last position is solely based on reports given by those who claimed to be victims of your actions. They don't reflect the full story. I fully investigated the incident before offering you the position and thus based my own conclusions on that. I fully stand behind your actions and am truly happy that despite everything the last year has thrown at you, you're still willing to keep moving forward."
"The rest of the staff are unaware of what happened." I began carefully not looking once at the woman. "Eraserhead and Present Mic are exceptions to this. They were told last night. I'd prefer if it stayed that way. If it's to come out at a later day, by other means, we can deal with it then."
"I can agree to that. I hope that we can continue to work together without incident." I nodded at him and let out a breath I didn't even know I had been holding.
"I'm honestly just glad that I'm not losing my job," I said with a forced laugh
"Why would I fire you when you only just began Tyga? I expect great things from you." He said with a smile. "Now I'd like to get to the other reason I asked you to come by this morning. This is Saori Rita. She is a member of The Hero Public Safety Commission. She wishes to speak with you."
