You and Toji sat in Megumi's principals office, still dressed for work, and STILL waiting for this principal to come and discuss whatever was so important that the two of you had to leave work. Megumi had just started 3rd grade and this was already the second time his principal had called you for a meeting.
You checked your watch for like the 10th time within 5 minutes, your patience was running thin. Toji was leaned back balancing on the two back legs of his chair, rocking back and forth a bit, very obviously bored and tired of waiting.
Finally, the door to the office opened after what felt like forever, and the principal walked in. He came and sat across from the two of you at his desk.
"About time. Me and my wife got jobs y'know? Money don't grow on trees." Toji said, in a sour mood from waiting. (the concept of toji being employed..)
"My apologies to you both. I'm glad you both were able to make it." The principal said.
"What's the matter? Is something going on with Megumi?" You asked, fairly concerned.
The principal sighed.
"Megumi hasn't been getting along with a peer in his class. It's become disruptive to other students learning at this point." The principal said.
"Disruptive how?" You questioned, Megumi wasn't a disruptive kid at all, so this was confusing for you.
"Well, from what his teacher says, Megumi shoved the other child in question, for cutting him in line."
Silence stretched out after he spoke.
"...You serious? That's it? You really wasted my time to tell us that?" Toji asked, settling his chair back on all four of its legs with a thud, irked even more now.
"This isn't the same boy that was bothering him last time is it?" You asked. The first meeting you had with the principal was because Megumi punched the shit out of some other kid for messing with him, but you thought it had been long settled already.
The principal didn't speak for a bit, that told you all you needed to know.
"How is Megumi at fault for anything? That brat has been messing with MY son since school started. What have you done to hold him accountable? I don't see his parents up here right now." You said, starting to get reasonably upset.
"We've...Contacted his parents already." The principal said, sounding unsure. That pissed you off.
"What do you mean? It sounds like you're trying to punish my son fo-"
"Miss, I already said-"
"Don't talk over her." Toji cut him off with a stern tone, his brows knit together as he stared at him.
Being called up to Megumi's school in the middle of work for the second time? Fine. Waiting in this dusty ass office for 30 minutes? Cool. But someone, let alone this old ass man interrupting you? Nah. Toji didn't like that. And trust, he made it known.
You crossed one of your legs over the other, taking a deep breath.
"It sounds like you're punishing him for defending himself." You said, finishing your sentence uninterrupted this time.
"Miss...I understand your frustrations but this kind of behavior will not be tolerated at this school. No exceptions." The principal said.
"Let me get this straight." Toji began, oh boy...
"Let's say I punch the shit out of you right now. Aren't you gonna defend yourself?" He asked, looking the principal dead in the eye. The way Toji spoke, he was so casual about it. You lowkey couldn't tell if he was actually about to do some crazy shit or not...per usual.
"Toji..." You said quietly, side eyeing him.
"Is- Is that a threat Mr. Fushiguro?" The principal asked, appalled.
"Nah. I'm asking you a question. Answer it." Toji said. He then stood up, from his chair, your heart dropped a bit.
"Toji." You said again, this time a bit more stern.
"Let the man answer." Toji said, not even looking at you, his gaze still fixed on the man in front of him.
"You gonna defend yourself or what?" Toji asked again.
The principal gulped a bit.
"I uh...I suppose I would." He said.
Toji smirked a bit.
"There, problem solved. Don't blame my kid for doing it then." He said.
The principal hesitated before slowly nodding.
"I...Suppose I can't argue with that reasoning." He responded. You sighed in relief, arguing with Toji's reasoning wouldn't be in his best favor...
Toji stared at him for a few moments before he looked down at you and motioned his head to the door. You sighed and grabbed your purse, putting it on your shoulder as you stood.
"Next time don't call me or my wife in here unless it's important." Toji said, opening the office door for you and waiting for you to exit first.
You paused a bit, turning to speak with the principal once more,
"Sorry about him. I'm glad we could come to an understanding. Have a nice day." You said, walking out of the office. Toji rolled his eyes a bit, you were always too nice sometimes.
Toji looked back at the principal one more time,
"Talk over my wife like that again, and we're gonna have a problem." Was all he said, before following behind you, grumbling something under his breath about how he wasted his time, closing the door shut.
