You woke up the next day bright and early and headed to your class for your exam. You sat down and took a deep breath. You took out your pencil and pen and set them on the desk. You took one last look at the family photo you took with you and put it in your backpack. You zipped it up and took another breath.

You've got this Kitty...deep breaths...

Aizawa stared at the obstacle course. "What in the fuck is this, Hizashi?" He asked. "I made it harder last night...Good look," Hizashi smirks.

Aizawa takes a deep breath and nods. "On your mark...get set...GO!!" Eri shouts.

He takes off sprinting, jumping over a massive log. He climbs up the concrete wall and grabs the rope, propelling down quickly. He lands and keeps running, going as fast as he can through the whole thing.

You sit in the stands watching him, a small smile creeping across your face. "I'm glad you let me know about this, Nezu," you smile.

"I am too. The pink tutu was not something I was aware of," he chuckles. "How did the first exam go?" He asks.

"I think I did ok. I have another one in two hours." You shrug.

"You'll do wonderful. We are all routing for you," he smiles.

"Thanks." You smile. You giggle a little watching Aizawa crawl under barbwire. "That wasn't part of the original course," you say softly.

"I know. That was my idea" Nezu smiles and sipped his tea.

You glance at him and stand up. "I should get going," you say softly. He nods and waves.

Hitoshi looks into the stands and sees you. Shoto takes Eri from him, and he runs off without anyone noticing. You walk through the tunnel, your mind quickly reviewing your notes for your exam.

"Was it my fault?" Hitoshi asks, running up.

You turn around, and your eyes light up seeing him. "What?" You say, confused.

"Was it my fault? That dad kept going out?" He says softly.

Your heart drops. "No. No, not at all," you walk over to him and hug him tightly. "Hitoshi, your dad, made that choice all on his own...and you had nothing to do with it," you say softly.

"I just...I feel like it's my fault because he was looking for..." he stops and holds you tighter.

"Hitoshi, it's not your fault. Your dad is a grown man who made a choice. It's on him. Not you." You say sternly. He nods a little. You hold his face softly. "Your dad is so proud of you, and so am I. I'll try to see you and Eri soon, ok?" You smile, and he nods.

"Do you still love dad?" He asks.

"Of course I do...I'm just...hurting. And that isn't something for you to worry about. Ok?" You say softly, and he nods. You kiss his head, and he walks back to the class. You keep waking out of the tunnel. Heading back to your class.

Aizawa peeks around the corner, watching you walk away. His heart is pounding in his chest. You still loved him. After everything, you still loved him. He covered his mouth and closed his eyes.

The next night, Aizawa cooked dinner for all of class 1-A and Hizashi dinner. They ate in the dorms and played games. Shoto walked outside and stared up at the sky. Aizawa walks next to him and puts his hands in his pockets.

"I owe you an apology too..." Aizawa says softly. Shoto looks at him, and Aizawa sighs. "You are right. I'm no better than your father. You deserve better. All of you kids do. I want to do better. If there is anything I can do to make up for what I've done, I will do it. I do not expect your forgiveness or anyones for that matter. I just want to be better," Aizawa says.

"Nezu told me you were talking to Hound Dog...is that true?" Shoto asks softly.

Aizawa nods. "He is uh...rough...but it's helping."

Shoto nods. "I forgive you," Shoto says. Aizawa looks at him, shocked. "I know why you did what you did. You were angry...you wanted to find the people who hurt Hitoshi, and...I wanted you to find them too. It wasn't until I saw what it was doing to everyone else that I realized it was bad..." Shoto says.

Aizawa nods and glances behind Shoto. His eyes widen a little. "I'm still so angry...I...I want to protect the people I love...and Hitoshi is at the top of that list," Shoto says softly.

"You love me?" Hitoshi asks. Shoto turns around his face bright red. Aizawa smiles a little and pushes Shoto towards Hitoshi before walking inside.

"I...Yes. Of course, I do," Shoto says softly. Hitoshi smiles and rubs his neck.

"I...I love you too," Hitoshi says softly. Shoto smiles and looks down.

"Your dad saw you coming, didn't he?" Shoto says softly.

Hitoshi chuckles and pulls Shoto to him. "Don't worry, popsicle," Hitoshi smiles as he hugs him.

You get back to Mikko's apartment and collapse onto the bed, exhausted and drained. You plug in your phone and see one new voice mail. You sit up and listen to it.

"Hey...it's me...umm...just wanted to tell you Eri says goodnight again...And Shoto told Hitoshi that he loved him...it was adorable; he looked so nervous...Ummm...I hope your test went well....it probably did because you're brilliant...Denki says to tell you hi...everyone in class says hi, actually.....Hizashi too....and me.................ok...Ummm......bye."

You smile a little and hold your phone to your chest. Mikko knocks on your door and smiles, holding her laptop. "The results are posted," she smiles.

Your eyes widen, and your stomach drops. "Wh-did...did I do ok?" You say, your voice cracking.

She sets her laptop on the bed facing away from you. You've worked so hard for this. Years. And in a second, it could be taken away. You close your eyes, preparing yourself for the worst.

"Babe...you got the top score of the class....you passed," she laughs.

Your eyes open, and you smile. "I...I passed? I PASSED!?!?" You scream.

"YES! HELLO DOCTOR!!" She laughs. You scream and hug her tightly. She takes her phone out of her back pocket to make sure the call went through.

Aizawa lays in bed, a smile plastered on his face as he listens to your scream happily. The call ends, and he sets his phone on his chest. "I'm so proud of you, Kitty...."
