Aahdjxjx. Guys.
Oboro Vs. Izuku’s elementary school.
Like maybe it starts with him realizing that the bento containers he sends Izuku to school with are going missing more often than not. Maybe he asks Izuku and they won’t look at him when they say they forgot it at school. Maybe one day they forget their lunch entirely and Oboro swings by because yeah they’re a kid but they’re so small compared to Tenya and he knows something isn’t right.
The man working the desk in the office sneers when Oboro tells him Izuku’s name even though he’s been nothing but helpful and concerned up until that point that a student forgot their lunch. It’s weird enough that when the man promises that he’s going to give Izuku the food, Oboro insists that he’s want to see them first. Maybe he uses a bit too much of his sway as a hero but his head is starting to hurt in the way it only does when something is wrong and if he doesn’t see his kid right now something very bad is going to happen.
The man gives Izuku’s class number without even checking to see if Oboro is even authorized to be on school grounds (he is. He cried when Inko showed him the papers with “Shirakumo Oboro” written plain as day rather than “Midoriya Hisashi”). And Oboro sprints to the classroom.
He takes a moment to look through the window in the door before anyone could notice him. Takes a moment to see what they would hide when he walked in.
Izuku sits at a table alone covered in trash and scraps clearly not left by them. Not when he knows just how particular they are about a clean workspace at home. The other kids are turned away from them, separated as far as they could get, though every so often one turns to sneer at his kid.
Then Izuku reaches for their pencil case, battered and mostly empty even though Oboro just bought them new pens and pencils a week ago, and he sees the red mark on their wrist when their sleeve moves.
Needless to say the school wasn’t prepared for an angry hero parent with a protective streak. They were even less prepared for a Incredibly Pissed Inko Midoriya still in her scrubs from the hospital to descend on them with all the wrath of a mother bear protecting her cub. Izuku won’t let go of Oboro’s jacket for hours, won’t get off the cloud he made for the two of them in hopes that the slight rocking motion of the wind soothes them for even longer.
Inko, who has been so outspoken against him paying for things she felt that he didn’t have to, who has been determined to do things alone like she has for so long, has him call up Tensei so they can start the transfer to Tenya’s school that night. Later he holds her for hours while she cries silently into his chest, muffled as to not wake Izuku up, and promises himself that he will not let this happen again.
