Tonight I'm emotional about Kurogiri allowing all his kids to call him whatever they like and finding a new identity in all those names

Toga jokingly calls him 'Mom' once and then does it again, and again, until he takes her aside and tells her that it doesn't have to be a joke and if she needs a mom, he can be that for her

Dabi calls him... nothing, most of the time, or maybe a gentle insult or a descriptive like 'mist face' and things like that. No one has to know that Kurogiri becomes 'Papa' (not 'Dad', never that) during late nights when Dabi is falling apart in the dark

Spinner calls him 'real boss' sometimes to annoy Tomura. He's also called him both 'Uncle Kuro' and 'Granddad' because no one knows how old Kurogiri is but he certainly acts like an old man sometimes

Compress calls him 'dear', Magne calls him 'darling' and 'sweetheart' and Kurogiri has no idea how to deal with either of them.

Twice calls him 'buddy' and 'friend' and 'asshole' in the same breath and then gives him affectionate nudges that are alien to him because he's not used to being touched much

Tomura calls him 'Kurogiri'. Because to Tomura, that's already synonymous with all the other words he could use to describe him. And somehow there's nothing that can entirely explain the depth of the relationship between them. Neither of them feel like words are necessary.
