Hero

Chapter 16

Around 9:00 am, (Y/N) rings the bell of the Todoroki's mansion. Fuyumi invites her inside to drink a tea since the girl brought a homemade cake.

<<How cute!>> Fuyumi takes out the cake from its case, <<How did you this with those hands?>>

<<The medicines I'm taking are to reduce the pain when I move my hands.>> you explain holding the cup of hot tea, <<The others are to reinforce my immune defenses.>>

<<Oh gosh, it must be hard.>> she cut slices the lovely cake and put a slice on a plate, <<Please enjoy it.>>

<<Thank you very much.>>

When the girls are talking about funny things, Endevour comes back at home and finds the woman who dueled him a few days ago. Fuyumi takes quickly your defense but the man wants you and only you. Moving gently aside Todoroki's sister, you reassure her with a big smile and follow the hero on the big yard they had in the back of the mansion.

<<I'm here.>> speaks the man, and without wasting another minute, he attacks you but what he hit was only an icy statue, <<So, what are you gonna do?>> he turns seeing you sit with your legs crossed.

<<I'm not here to pick up a fight but to talk.>> she says standing up, <<When I'm done, if you want to fight me anyway, then I won't decline.>>

<<Go ahead, I'm listening.>>

<<First of all, I apologize for what I've done at the festival. I've said bad things about you and the fact that I wasn't thinking doesn't justify me.>> she speaks with a tranquil voice but her eyes are serious as never be, <<I was wrong.>>

<<Mph, if that's all->>

<<I'm not done. I recognize you as hero, but that doesn't mean that I forgive you for what you have done to your son. Soon, we'll start an internship with some pro heroes. I am not a pro hero yet, so I cannot guide Shouto in this step of his life, I'm not wise enough, but you are. You're a hero too, the lives that you save are a certain thing.>>

<<So, what are you trying to say, woman?>>

<<I won't let you hurt Shouto again, if you wanna do that, you must step on my corpse.>> she rests her hands on the waist, <<But, if you show me that you can do something that a parent would do, then I'll let you go near him.>>

<<Are you saying that I must guide in his path? I'm doing it already.>>

<<You got the concept but not the method.>> you scold him trying to stay as calm as possible, <<You must guide him on HIS path not yours. Shouto isn't a doll that you control as you want. Am I not clear enough? I will say it once more, I'll let you go near him but if I see something that I don't like, I'll make you step back again.>>

<<.......>> the hero is thinking at your words, but many questions are flowing inside his mind.

After a while, Todoroki comes back from his morning running routine and finds his sister scared and worried. She is crying, speaking so fast that he doesn't understand a single word. What's happening in here?

<<Calm down, nee-san.>> he holds her still, <<Tell me what happened.>>

<<Dad and (Y/N) are in the garden and they are about to fight!>>

<<What?!>> Todoroki gets out the main door and runs around the mansion to reach the garden faster. "Not under my fucking watch old man! Don't you dare to lay a finger on my light!"
