"Growing pains, good times"
[It'd been about a week and a half since Nighteye's funeral. About a week and a half of the students returning to normal school life after their internships, and with the new addition of Eri to look after.
Things had been particularly hard on Izuku lately, Toshinori had noticed. He was smiling and acting like his normal self, keeping face so his friends wouldn't be worried for him like any other good Hero would do and for that, Toshinori was proud of him. But he knew the kid had to be suffering from all that had happened. All he had witnessed, all he had to fight, and from losing someone he was just starting to get close to. It was part of the job of being a Hero of course and he handled it all extremely well but... well. Toshinori wondered, a little. He wondered about his mental health, and how he was really fairing after all of that.
He was put in charge of his well being from his mother, Inko and he knew that meant more than just teaching him how to use One For All. But he'd never been good at the whole "guardian" thing. He's not a very good teacher, and he's even worse at trying to understand kids on a personal level more-so than on the level of a Hero and his Sidekick. Of course he'd been getting better, and had been becoming more mindful of their feelings over their priorities but still he felt like he'd been.. lacking. He felt like he needed to do something to take care of Izuku more than just giving him advice, for once.
That's why at around ten in the morning, on a Sunday, there's a text that buzzes Izuku's phone.]
Meet me by the front of your dorm, Midoriya-shounen! I have something urgent to speak to you about!!

Sorry, sorry! I didn't mean to scare you, kid.
[he totally did]
But a surprise wouldn't be a surprise without some suspense before hand would it? I might be retired from being a Hero, but I'm still an entertainer you know!
no subject
To the pier...to the...
...amusement...park...]
U-wah- w-wait a minute!!
[He's suddenly upright again as he turns his attention back to Toshinori, practically vibrating in place with his hands balled into fists near his chest.]
You...you brought me to an amusement park? With you?
[TO THE PARK...WITH ALL MIGHT...]
no subject
[He looks proud, happy that Izuku was starting to become excited now that the initial scare was over.]
I thought it might be something you would enjoy.
no subject
[He looks a little sheepish. Excited, but sheepish nonetheless.]
You really didn't have to...I mean, I'm sure you're probably really busy, especially right now.
no subject
[Said with a dramatic point of his finger.]
I'm currently swamped in paperwork and emails from concerned parents after that mission you and your classmates just got through with!
[Despite saying that, though, he relaxes his stance and gives Izuku a warm looking smile that doesn't look even a little stressed or worried.]
But even so, as your teacher I can't just sit by while I know that your mental health must be suffering from such a harrowing experience. And I could use the break, myself.
no subject
I-I'm okay though, really...it was bad, but. I knew it was going to be, going into it.
But thank you for bringing me here, anyway! It's been a long time since I've been to this park...since I was really little.
no subject
[Toshinori's own features soften as Izuku tries to reassure him that he's alright. He's already getting better at smiling in the face of danger, isn't he? There's no way he can be perfectly fine after all of that, but he decides not to press it and instead change the subject.]
Would you believe me if I told you I have never been to a park like this before?
no subject
[He knows that he's a super famous hero and all, but...he was also a kid, at least at one point in his life.]
