LadysDaze Commission Work

Kae Sato (BNHA OC x All Might)

Kae Sato x Toshinori Yagi

Commission for @mydraftmind

Kae had never imagined what it would be like having one of her work colleagues be the number one hero. But upon Nedzu's staff alert of All Might's arrival to being added to the UA staff that year, she truly was thrown through a loop. Not simply because she was always very passionate about the man and all the good work she did, but that if he was such a good hero, he might make an amazing teacher as well.

And while she never wanted to admit it to anyone, let alone herself... the female was worried that she'd be inadequate to her own students when they compared her to the number one hero. But she was quick to shake her head, knowing her own students adored her like no tomorrow and nothing would change that.

So far, the year itself had gone rather well, and Kae had found herself having a few conversations with the number one hero from time to time. Always in a group around others, and never on her own with him. So as she walked into the teacher's room early one morning to see the skinny blonde man hunched over his desk and with a strain on his face.

The brown haired woman walked over, pausing by the man's desk and looking down at him. By now, Toshinori had noticed and heard her, and thus gently lifted his head upwards to look at her. He smiled nervously, a pile of papers sitting on his desk, the names of various students meeting her eyes.

"Having some trouble grading?" She asked, fishing out a red pen from her purse and looking towards the man with a smile. "Want some help?"

Toshinori's eyes went wide, but he wouldn't push her kindness away. And besides, she had been teaching much longer then he had, so she should know the answer to his problems. And so with a nod he allowed the female next to him, a red pen of his own in his hand as well.

"What seems to be the problem?" Kae asked, starting to glance over the marks and corrections he had made thus far.

"I can't help but feel like I've graded them too harshly..." The blonde man sighed. "I don't want to crush their hearts from something this basic."

"Hmmm...." Kae muttered, looking at the student's paper she currently was reading. It appeared they had to write an essay on the benefits of partner formations and how their own skills would be beneficial in a duo.

Toshinori watched in shock as she suddenly began to mark the paper, the white sheet turning red with words and critiques. She handed it over to the pro-hero aside her and let out a small huff.

"You're being too easy." She scolded him lightly. "This one is full of claims of how he'd be a good partner, but there is no evidence to back it up. Remember the CSE structure, every paper needs to be based on this!"

"CSE... oh yes! Claim, support, and explain!" All Might sighed, starting to go over the paper in his own hands. "Thank you for your help, I'll try to be more critical of them from now on."

Kae smiled towards the male, reaching out and squeezing his shoulders in a comforting way. "Good! The harsher you are... the better they'll work hard to impress you. Just don't push too hard and know what is enough for them each."

"You're very knowledgeable on this sort of thing. I take it's from years of experience." Toshinori laughed, seeing as the brown haired female next to him nodded slowly.

"Of course. Like hero work, you learn the most important things while on the field."

It was silent a moment after that, neither really speaking as the grading continued. However, All Might cleared his throat, catching the attention of the woman beside him once more. She looked up at him, scarlet hues watching him with a curious expression.

"If you don't mind me asking... what made you decide to be a teacher?"

Kae smiled softly, pausing in her grading. She sighed in a way that made it seem as if she was experiencing some sort of nostalgia. And then, she turned to look at him, eyes shining with happiness that could not be misplaced.

"When I was in school and my friends would always ask me for help... the feeling I'd get when I saw that the information had finally clocked always made me feel giddy. And so I guess I wanted to keep seeing people finally understand... and to help them become more well rounded and intelligent individuals. So... I applied to be a teacher here, and was lucky enough to be accepted."

Toshinori smiled towards this, his muscular form suddenly appearing in front of the woman and he lifted his thumb up. "That's an excellent reason! I am moved by your words!"

He reverted a moment later, light drops of blood coming from his mouth as well. Kae muffled a laugh and handed over a tissue near her to the bleeding man. As she did so, she returned the question to the pro-hero.

"Me...?" All Might gulped nervously. "I suppose... I haven't found my reason yet. I adore my students and love to see how amazing they are all becoming in the aspect of heroes... but I can't seem to find my reason for loving teaching yet. It's not that I don't love it... I just haven't figure out why I do love it yet."

Kae nodded, flashing All Might one final smile. "I'm sure you will... you're quite capable of whatever you wish to do or find. You'll find your reason in no time, I'm sure of it."

All Might wasn't sure what came over him at that point, but he knew he could trust her words and kind eyes. Sato-sensei seemed to really know her stuff... after all, he had already learned a few things from her this morning, and classes had yet to even start.

Plus... he knew from now on he had a friend to come to if he was struggling with his job... and knew she wouldn't mind his company.
