Shoto appeared in the throne room where the gods meet every so often.
"Young Todoroki!" A booming voice blasts the throne room. It is the king of the gods himself, All Might.
"Greetings your worthiness." Shoto bows before the bold man.
"No need to explain anything to me, Todoroki. I sensed the child's presence the moment you fed him the Neptune flower."
"Are you angry, sir?"
"Why would I? It seems like you felt the need to care for this boy. Something tells me to accept it as well."
"This was more easier than I expected. Are you sure?"
"I feel some sense of power in that boy. Something peculiar. I want you to bring him to me some time."
"Sir. I need you to be clear of what you are saying. You accept the child living with us gods?"
All Might nods, his smile still bright, and the colors of his robe are dazzling. Fair blue, representing the oceans, seas and lakes. Green around his neck, which are the greens of the land. The white on his wrists for the snow. The pink in his elbows for the cherry blossoms.
"Very well then. He has already met Bakugou." Shoto says.
"Young Todoroki. We need to set rules for this child's stay. You already know that you are not permitted to be on god grounds until after your season is over."
"Yes sir. I can hear my siblings calling."
"The human shall take leave on his tenth birthday. Afterwards he will live on Earth with a mentor of my choosing."
"Is this a sort of limit to the child's stay?"
"Yes, and there is more to it. You are only to interact with the child during your seasons. Atleast when he starts to live on Earth."
"Of course. My humblest apologies for interrupting."
"No need. Now please explain this to Bakugou for he can carry out the duty to tell everyone else. I will be kept busy for now. That is why I cannot do it myself. I am counting on you, winter god."
"Yes, sir."

Shoto appears in the main hall, greeted by Izuku on top of Bakugou's chest, giggling.
"Mr. Shoto!" Izuku giggles. Bakugou takes the young one off of him and sits up.
"So what did the ol' man say?" He asks. Shoto clears his throat and says, "Well he agreed. There were no arguments but he did set up rules. Once the kid turns 10 years of age, he will be left to live on Earth with a mentor of All Might's choosing. Once he is on Earth, we will be allowed to visit him only during our time of season."
"So basically when we are allowed to roam Earth?
"Yes."
"Well I know for sure I ain't visiting this little pest."
"Bakugou. At least show kindness towards our visitor. Anyways, All Might sent you orders. Introduce them to the rest of the gods. I must go back to my duties."
"How the hell did this kid turn into my responsibility? You were the one who brought him, not me."
"All Might's orders." Shoto then turns to the young boy. "See you during Spring, young one. You're in good hands." He gives him a warm smike and oats him on the head. The littke boy holds onto Shoto's lower robe and tugs on it.
"Why are you leaving? Kacchan doesn't like me very much." He pouts.
"Kacchan?" Shoto asks.
"Don't question it, damn it."
Shoto shrugs and tells the freckled boy not to worry. Soon after that, Shoto vanishes and Izuku is left with Katsuki.
"Well since All Might semd orders, there can't be a way I can refuse without getting caught. Are ya coming or not, kid?" Katsuki says firmly.
"Where are we going, Kacchan?" The boy holds Katsuki's hand.
"Hey, what the hell do you think you're doing." Katsuki looks down at the direct contact on his hand but then ignores it.
"Anyway, we're going to introduce your to some losers that live here." Katsuki begins to walk towards another long hallway.  The pure white of the pillars are beautiful and the clouds seen outside are outstanding. It is still dark and only torches light the way.  Soon, they are in a room full of doors that seem decorated by some sort of theme. There was this wooden orange door that was covered in red, yellow and orange leafs.
Another was blue and had been covered in shells. There was a green one, and many more.
"I'll take you to this one. This is where you will find the God of Autumn. He's only busy from September to November." Katsuki barges in and tgey are now in a forest with lifeless trees and leafs everywhere. There is a male whom is facing his back to Izuku and Katsuki. He seemed to be meditating. He was not wearing a shirt but only brown pants covered in twigs and leafs like if it was part of it.
"Yo, Kirishima."
The male's head pops up and he turns.
"B-Bakugou? What are you-- Who's that!?"
"This is Deku."
"My name is Izuku."
"And mine is Katsuki, but I guess you can't handle that."
Kirishima looks frightened by the small creature who is holding Bakugou's hand. Kirishima quickly stands up.
"What is a human boy doing here? Does All Might knkw about this."
"Listen, if you're not gonna let me explain things, I'm leaving."
"N-no! Bakugou. Come in and make yourselves comfortable. Even though you are already inside." He gulps.
"But Mister... Aren't we already outside? We're in a forest." Izuku looks around.
"No shit." Katsuki mumbles.
"You're right, little one. Your name... Izuku, right?"
"Mmhmm. What is yours?" Izuku asks timidly.
"I am Kirishima Eijiro. The god of Fall."
Katsuki rolls his eyes and tells Kirishima everything and decides to tag along.
"You know, I'll just gather everyone while you guys wait in tge main hall!" Kirishima smiles.
"Whatever." Soon after, loads on people are entering the main room to be met eye to eye with the small human sitting beside Katsuki.
"AAAH~ WHAT IS A HUMAN DOING HERE!?" The goddess of the wind asks.
"Hagakure, please calm down!" Ojiro, the god of battle, places a hand on the goddess.
"Woah! A human! Cool!" Mina exclaims. She is the spirit of flowers which bloom in the spring.
"Look, Iida! A little human boy!" Uraraka exclaims. She is the spirit of waterbend.
"What is the meaning of this, Bakugou!?" Iida, the god of water, exclaims firmly.
"This is not exactly what I had in mind when you said 'there is something awesome Bakugou wants to show you', Kirishima." Jiro, the goddess of music sighs, placing a hand on the God of Lightning and Thunder's shoulder, Kaminari Denki.
"AH SHUT THE HELL UP ALREADY, YOU FREAKS, OR ELSE!" Bakugou exclaims, causing him to stand up. Izuku is startled by all the gods that he burries his head on his knees.
"Look! You made the poor baby scared!" Hagakure gets close to the little boy and Katsuki moves aside.
"Tch. I don't care. Anyway, you morons better listen up. All Might knows about the kid and he approved of his stay, however, I did not bring the little bug. It was Todoroki himself. The human will leave once he turns 10 years old but he will be granted permission to interact with us once he's on Earth. Now if you have damn questions, asks All Might. Not me." Katsuki then stomps out of the room, leaving Izuku to everyone else.
"So what's your favorite color?"
"Do you like frogs?"
"Have you ever eaten cake?"
"I love your freckles~!"
"You're so adorable!"
All the goddesses were hogging the little boy while the gods just stared and muttered concerns to one another.
"So he's temporary?" Sero, the God of the clouds asks.
"I guess so." Kirishima says while looking at the goddesses' direction.
"I don't know. I am not entirely sure about this human living among us. It will be difficult to keep an eye on him. Why would Todoroki bring him in the first place? Doesn't the boy have a family? They must be worried sick." Iida says.
"Nah, the boy is an orphan. Well Bakugou told me. The boy himself said he was some sort of slave to a group of thugs. He doesn't know why. I feel bad for him. He hasn't fekt the love of a family and he's only 5." Kirishima explains.
"Guess he felt pity." Tokoyami, the God of the Night, says.
"Hey guys~ Come here! Get to know this small one, he's so cute!" Uraraka says. The gods comply and before they all knew it, they were all interacting with the boy and talked with him. It had been hours that passed and they were getting along quite well.
"Oh! That's my cue! Gotta bring the morning." Yaoyorozu says while disappearing.
