Third-Person Oboro
TW: Anxiety, SH, Dissociation, Severe Injury, Mentions of Death
——————

     Life has been alright for Oboro in the past two, nearly three, years. Of course, he's still desperately looking for Shouta, especially since he now knows what names he's going by, and what's changed about him. That makes the search a lot easier.
     He's still looking for him, but he's started working at UA now, his first time teaching, and he's replacing his first year homeroom teacher. He felt bad about that, but he was excited to teach these children.
     Today was the first day. He didn't want to step foot in UA again, all the memories he had there with his friends... now one of them is gone. He remembered meeting Hizashi and Shouta on the first day of school. He remembered meeting Kayama in their second year, and meeting Iida, who was Kayama's friend, there too.
     They were still in contact with Iida, but they were not as close to him as they were with Kayama. She was like their sister, Iida was more, in familial terms, like a distant cousin.
     Now, Oboro would be turning twenty-six in may, Hizashi would be turning the same age in July. It was April as of currently.
     Hizashi walked with Oboro to the building, but had to leave to go to a different room than Oboro. He made his way to Class 1-A alone, silently wishing he hadn't accepted the job. After all, he wasn't that good of a hero. At least he didn't believe he was, despite being the number three hero, just after All Might and Endeavor.
     To Oboro, he almost got himself killed during his second year, and he let his boyfriend get kidnapped and have... whatever happened to him happen. How could he be able to teach these children what they needed to know?
     He approached the classroom to see a brown haired girl speaking to a green haired boy, the boy was bright red.
     "Good morning!" Oboro exclaimed to the class. Despite not wanting to be there, he wanted to appear enthusiastic about the year, at least to the kids.
     Upon Oboro making his presence known, the green haired boy lit up.
     "Oh my god! You're the cloud hero, Loud Cloud!" The boy exclaimed, he seemed to be over-the-top excited about seeing Oboro, something he had gotten used to, but still felt weird. How could people look up to him?
"That's right kid-" Oboro pointed to himself. "And I'll be your guys' homeroom teacher this year!" The boy instantly got what seemed to be ten times more excited.
"Really?" He asked.
"You're such a fanboy," the girl laughed.
"Yep, now if you clouds could go get into your PE clothes and meet me outside, that would be perfect," he instructed of the students, who all made their way to get changed.

He should have taken them to orientation, but he remembered he hated it with a passion, it was so boring. Instead, he wanted to view the quirks of his students.
While they were getting changed he was looking over their student and quirk sheets. The fanboy was Midoriya Izuku, who was also the kid who broke all his limbs during the entrance exam. He would need to work extra with this kid.
He noticed that Iida's brother, Tenya, was in this class. This would be fun, Tenya always took things too seriously, so Oboro wondered how he would take this class.

The students all met him outside like he asked of them. Good. He wanted to go over what classes would be like, but first wanted to see how all their quirks worked, and their levels of control over their quirks. This would make teaching them much more easier.
"Great to see all of you here," Oboro started. "Today we'll be doing an assessment level to see how well you can control your quirks."
"But sir?" The brown haired girl, Uraraka Ochako, asked. "Shouldn't we be in orientation?"
"We should be," Oboro replied, "but it's sooo boring, I'd rather do this." He started to laugh after saying that, causing his students to give him a funny look.
     "So we're skipping out on possibly important information because you don't want to attend it?" Iida Tenya asked.
     "Correct!" Oboro replied enthusiastically. "Now! Let's see what we're working with here." He looked around at his students. He wondered what should he do. "Bakugou Katsuki, you scored the best in the entrance exam, care to demonstrate?" He asked, the child shrugged and walked over to him.
     "What?" His voice had a lot of anger in it. It shocked Oboro to hear it.
     "Here-" he handed Bakugou a ball. "Use your quirk to make it go far."
     "Alright." He threw the ball up and caught it. "This'll be easy." He chucked the ball, explosions following after.
     "705.2 meters (2313.65 feet)," Oboro read what the tracker for the ball said. He was impressed, when he and his friends started they didn't do that good for any of the tests.
     "Wow!" He collectively heard the students say together. Their faces of excitement raised the mood for him. Maybe teaching these curious children wouldn't be so bad.
     "Good job, Bakugou." The kid just rolled his eyes.
     "Whatever," he grumbled, heading back to where he was before Oboro called on him.
     "Okay then..." Oboro was still stunned by the boys callous attitude, that would need fixing if he desired to be a hero. "Let's carry on with the rest of the events."
