Third POV

Izuku sat quietly in the principal's office, seeing the head of general teacher, Kazuho Haneyama and the original principal, Mr. Dandan Tadan.

"You know, Mr.Midoriya, you are indeed one of my favorites at this school currently," Mr.Tadan hummed, interlacing his fingers on his desk, "However, I cannot let my personal favoritism of you come in the way of fulfilling the role of head administrator."

"I do, sir." Izuku bowed his head, bracing himself for what was to come.

"Riku's official maternal guardian came and requested that you be fired immediately for harassment of her child, and now naturally because you have normally gotten such high remarks from other teachers, students and parents alike it's hard for me to just give you the boot," Mr. Tadan noted, "But I definitely cannot take this lightly, so I'll be pulling Riku from your class for an indefinite amount of time and collect some other information,"

"Just until I can make a final verdict."

Izuku nodded, "Thank you for giving me the opportunity, as I can assure you I'd do nothing of the sort seeing as I have my own child and would never want him or myself to feel that way either."

"We understand that, but this really is just a precaution," Haneyama chimed in, with a look of pity, "Of course, we have to go into your record and give you a yellow mark for a complaint."

"Aside from that, is there anything else that we need to know before you go on to your class to get prepared?" Tadan added.

"No," Izuku muttered, feeling his throat get dry, "I thank you for you time, however."

The two administrators nodded, watching Izuku get up and exit the office solemnly.

Haneyama and Tadan looked to each other, knowing there was no way the accusation could possibly have been true about one of their star teachers.

But it as it was.

Izuku felt a nervous pit form in his stomach when he watched all his assigned students pour into his classroom minus Riku.

Hiro stared at the empty seat next to him, a somber look overtaking his expression, before looking over to his dam for why Riku wasn't next to him anymore.

Izuku heart felt crushed at the mere sights of it.

Its not like he could do anything else, but hope the investigations would go in his favor.

By the time the lunch rolled around, some of the other teachers had came to Izuku to see what all the fuss was about with Riku being temporarily taken away from his class for safety reasons.

Needing a moment for himself, Izuku headed to the west wing where the boys should've been eating.

Much to his dismay, however, he saw Hiro and Riku eating separately.

With Hiro at the usual table near the windows and Riku sitting at an opposite table all alone and with one of the para-educators beside him to monitor.

This was ridiculous.

"Hiro," Izuku's voice came into the range, making the pup look up at his dam, "What's wrong?"

Hiro shrugged, pushing aside his meal, "They said because something is going on for Riku's safety regarding you, so I can't sit or talk or play with him until it's all over."

He then dragged his hands across his face, making an exaggerated expression.

"I can only take so much being without my twin, mama." Hiro groaned, before slumping in his seat.

He looked over to Riku's table, giving him a small wave and as the child tried to do the same, the teacher blocked Riku's view and made him face in the opposite direction.

"You didn't do anything wrong, Mama, right?" Hiro subtly questioned, his tone meek as if he was embarrassed to even have to ask such a question.

"No, no," Izuku shook his head, "It's a matter of words and I promise you and Riku can be together soon enough."

Hiro slowly nodded, picking up his tray as Izuku scooted over for him to pass through and get to the trash can.

With a spritz of hand sanitizer, Hiro dismissed himself to the bathroom, then to the next room for the next class.

To see both of them upset, did it in for Izuku as he went back to the main classroom to make a call.

From one trill to two, the person on the other end picked up within a flash.

"Yknow something, Izu, you told me I wasn't supposed to call you head on during school hours." Katsuki's voice sounded from the other end.

"I'm sorry, but not right now," Izuku spoke in a stern tone, nearly imagining Katsuki's playful attitude straighten back up to something more serious, "Setsuna tried to get me fired because she claims harassment against her and Riku."

"What?" Katsuki spoke incredulously, only to get cut off.

"Look, I don't care much for the investigation, or the mark on my record, or even the fact that my peers are looking at me sideways for this seeing as how they already were when you and I started getting close," Izuku rambled, feeling a flurry of anger and sadness wash over him, "But, what I do care for is the fact that Riku and Hiro are being separated because of this."

"It's not fair, especially since neither of them have done anything. They aren't even allowed to eat together or play with one another during break time."

Izuku's eyebrows pinched, knowing the bell for lunch to be over was about to ring, "I'm trying hard to not blow a gasket or however the phrase goes, but do me a favor and tell Setsuna to stop harassing me over you and Riku, because I won't stand for having my son look like a bad guy and end up isolated from someone he cares about."

And with that, he hung up.

Just as the bell had rang.

And as the seconds passed, Izuku could feel his blood begin to settle from his irritation but the boil once more in embarrassment when he realized what he had just done.

He only slapped a hand to his mouth when he looked down to his phone to see that he really did just start and end the call like that.

And to Katsuki of all people.

Opening messages, he quickly texted,

"Sorry! Please do something if you can."

Hoping that'd do the trick as he decided to just power off his phone and go back to doing work.
