[No ones POV]

Tommy woke up to a scent reaching his senses, making him sit up straight into a sitting position and looked around. He rubbed his tired eyes, a bit too much that once he stopped the world began to spin insanely fast for him. But it quickly wore off in a matter of minutes before he tossed his still-warm blanket to the side of him and jumped out of bed.

He wished he could have slept in more than just a few hours, maybe even the whole day if he wished. But the fact that he needed to attend class at such an early time made him get up, especially when he knew if he ever ditched he'd get lectured by his teacher, Aizawa, and probably by Hawks. Which he in fact didn't want it to happen to him...again.

He walked over to the bathroom beside his room and locked himself in there. Placing his hands onto the sink counter as he started at his own reflection.

Eye bags that were quite clearly visible to him, and maybe to others if they saw it closely. He couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of his messy blonde hair scattered all over the place, he ran his hand over it to smooth it down a bit. Flickering a piece of a white streak that rested over his eye and flicked back.

The boy began to brush his teeth before making his way back to grab his uniform and belongings, he quickly threw them on before he headed out his room and into the living room. Where he saw the blonde hero cooking something in the kitchen.

So that's where the smell came from..

I wonder what he's cooking

Tommy made his way over towards him, sitting on a chair that was placed beside the kitchen counter. He looked up at the hero.

"Whatcha making?" He questioned.

Hawks flinched at the sound of his voice, snapping his neck to face him. "Ah-It's just you Tommy." He breathed out, calming himself down.

Tommy cocked a brow as he tilted his head, "Did I startle you?"

Hawks shook his head,
"No no, you just surprised me. I thought you'd be at your classroom by now"

Tommy was now more confused than he was before, and he wasn't even that confused in the beginning. He just stared at the hero until he told him why.

Hawks quickly noticed his confuseness and began talking again.
"It's eight twenty right now...Do you not know that?"

The blondes eyes widened,
"Shit-I overslept!? Why didn't you wake me up!" He shouted, immediately getting up as he rushed over to grab a quick snack.

"I thought you already left! I didn't know you were still here!" Hawks protested. "Why don't you have an alarm clock?"

"Because I hate that, it's too noisy for my liking" He huffed out.

Hawks grabbed him by his wrist, gently so he wouldn't hurt him,
"Before you go-I found this in your front door so I decided to give it to you when I saw you again" He said, grabbing a wrapped up package and handing it to his hand.

Tommy looked at it with confusion, grabbing it before he began to inspect it. "What is this? Who's it from?" He asked with confusion.

Hawks shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know, it never said the name."

Tommy looked at it one last time before sighing, "I'll open it more later" He said, grabbing the package tightly in his arm.

"Sure" Hawks hummed. "Have a great day!" He smiled at him, giving him a playful nudge on the arm. "And don't fight with anyone. Understand me?"

Tommy rolled his eyes, "Yeah yeah! Byee Hawks!!" He yelled out before running out the dorm and through the hallways.

He clutched onto the package tightly as he ran through the halls, passing and bumping into students along the way. He didn't bother apologize as he was in a hurry, once he heard the bell ring he began to pick up the pace even faster.

Aizawa didn't mind taking attendance, he knew every one of his students and always knew whenever they wouldn't be there or would. Today however, there was one empty seat in the very front, left corner of class.. That seat belonged to Tommy.

Aizawa sighed, his tone growing a bit irritated since this was the 3rd time Tommy was either late or skipped his class.

He was about to go and check for himself, bring the child to the class by force or listen to his reason on why he wasn't here. But just before he opened the door, it had been swung open with force.

There stood Tommy, panting and sweating as he tried breathing in and out with force. "I'm..Here" He breathed out before looking up at Aizawa with a awkward smile.

"And why are you late, again, Tommy?" Aizawa said with a stern tone, clearly upset but also sleepy as his eyes were half open.

"I-I over slept on accident" He laughed nervously. "It won't happen again, I promise!"

Aizawa sighed, pinching the top of his nose before glancing at Tommy with a less upset expression. "Let's hope it like that"

[Tommy's POV]

I felt relieved when Aizawa didn't lecture me in front of the class again, that was the most embarrassing moment I'd probably had so far in this school.

I walked over to my seat, sitting down before I placed my belongings on the floor, the package being placed on my desk before I sat up straight. My eyes scanning the package one last time, looking at every side to see if there was any type of writing on it, but there was nothing.

No writing.

No letter.

No nothing.

I was starting to get suspicious. How could I receive this box that was supposably for me when there wasn't any name or address on it.. But it could be principle Nezu or anyone else from the school who knows me.. But why?

I sighed before finally deciding what to do. I reached over and began to open it, ripping the colorful wrapper off and tape until I was left with a cardboard box. I opened it.

My eyes widden in surprise as I saw what it was..
It was a book..But not just any book, it was my book of pictures and memories.. But how did it get here? Who had it??

My confusion only grew more when I took the book filled with pictures out of the box, placing the now empty box on the floor with the rest of the ripped wrapper and then looked at the book with confusion.

I hesitatently opened it, flicking through the pages to see all the pictures I took or was given inside. I saw some with my family, some with my friends, a few with others too...

I smiled weakly as I scanned every one of the pictures in each page, scanning every detail with a smile.

I looked so happy back then..

I had everyone.

Tubbo..

"Hey Tommy!"

My thoughts where interrupted when someone was hovering over me. I flinched, closing the book with a yelp before I looked up to see Izuku standing there.

"Did I startle you? I-I'm so sorry!" Izuku quickly apologized.

"No..No it's fine" I said.

Izuku nodded before he spoke up again, "What were you looking at?" He asked. "It seemed important to you..well, judging by how you smiled at it and stared at it for hours"

"Hours?" I grew a bit confused. "I don't understand what you're saying. What do you mean by, 'staring at it for hours'? It's only been a couple of minutes?"

"It's been hours" Izuku said before pointing at the clock. I looked over at it, it read 12:48 P.M. "You've been staring at it since eight in the morning"

Did I really just spend hours looking at this??

How was that possible?

"Ahh.. I guess I lost track of time.." I mumbled before glancing back at Izuku. "..But yes, this book it important to me.."

Izuku smiled. "May I ask what it is?"

"It's just a book filled with memories.. Pictures at least" I said.

"Can I look at one? Pleaseee?" Izuku asked with a smile, his arms interlocking together as he stared down at me.

I chuckled, nodding my head before grabbing a random picture from it's fram inside the book and handed it to him. It was a picture of me, Tubbo, Ranboo, and their child, Michael. That was the time where I first babysat him.. And one of the many memories I wanted to forget and what I did. I don't even think Tubbo or Ranboo forgave me, but at least they forgot about it... I hoped.

Izuku looked over at the picture I handed him, inspecting it with curiosity. "Who are those three? They seem pretty close" He said.

"Those are my two best friends" I said, pointing at Tubbo and Ranboo as I told him who was who. "And that's their son, Michael" I pointed towards the small piglin on past me's lap.

[No one's POV]

Izuku was a thousands of questions running through his mind, he wanted to ask Tommy every single one of them. He wanted to know know why Tubbo had massive scars all over him and what Ranboo was. But he didn't ask those questions and focused on the small child on Tommy's lap (in the picture).

"They seem pretty young to have a child.. How old are they?" He said.

"17" Tommy responded. "Michael's.. adopted"

Izuku was surprised and looked down at the picture again. He didn't expect them to be that young, having all those scars and injuries at such a young age, and on top of all of that the two friends had adopted a child?

He started to question what was going on where Tommy had came from. Where there other like them? Or anyone else who had experienced what they had?

He handed the picture back to Tommy, an awkward smile plastered over his face as he tried not to question anything else. He didn't want to sound anoyying or rude.

"Soo.." Izuku trailed off. Trying to start a new conversation. "Are you free during lunch?" He asked. "Me and my group would like you to come sit with us at the cafeteria. They want to get to know you more. If that's alright with you!"

"Um.. I think I can" Tommy said. "That is if Hawks doesn't come and drag me away during lunch again"

Izuku laughed a bit, smiling more than he was before. "Great! I'll see you during lunch then?"

Tommy nodded. "Yup!"

Izuku smiled one last time before heading back to sit on his own seat on the other side of the classroom. But before he did heet his friends know that Tommy would be joining them. They were happy and excited that Tommy was going to join them, they wanted to make sure that he felt comfortable when he sits down with them during lunch.

__________

The bell had rung and Tommy was packing up with things quickly, throwing the package and the ripped, colorful wrapper in the trash before making his way towards the cafeteria.

Of course, this school was big and be still hadn't memorized everything, so he had a bit of trouble finding his way through the halls.

But once he found the cafeteria he hesitated. Tommy didn't really like staying in places with lots of people, or that many unwanted attention, but he had already told Izuku he was going to join him and his friends for lunch and there was no turning back now.

He entered the cafeteria slowly, dodging and bumping into students along the way. It was a bit to cramped in for his liking, he had to slightly shove people out of the way just to get through.

"Tommy!" Tommy's ears perked up at the mention of his name. He looked around until he spotted a table not too far from him, a group of five people were sitting there. Izuku was one of them, he was waving at him. "Come over here!"

Tommy sighed. 'There's really no escape out of this one anymore' He thought before making his way over...
