_______________________________________
Scouting the area, a young male cautiously walks around the place, trying not to come off as sketchy.
He had to be careful, hence he was unable to properly use his quirk for some time now.
It went haywire ever since.... .....the news.
Few weeks ago, he moved to this place..
Why? You may ask?.
He had to keep tabs on his daughter.
When he heard the news, he knew something bad happened.
He knew that Leander wasn't a fan of the heros...but he also knew he would never do that.
Ana ended up getting away with everything, Leander taking the full blame on himself.
The male cussed at him quietly, for doing that..
But he was also greatful, for protecting Ana.
Words cannot describe how mad he was.
Not at Leander tho..
At himself.
Him, a hero.
{Y'all remember he was shooting for the top ten ye-?}
Was completely unable to do a thing, to defend his lover.
All he could do is stand by, and watch it all happen.
He knew that if he interfered, it would make everything ten times worse.
His heart broke into million pieces, as he watched them take Leander away..
He still remembered his breath hitch and heart stop, the second he made eye contact with his beloved redhead.
Ronin watched the sky colored eyes follow him all the way the second they met his stormy ones.
Both were filled with pain and regret.
But what broke Ronin...
Was that Leander sent him a gentle smile.
A smile...
In this situation?..
He knew he wasn't going to be able to stay trough the all process..
All he knew that Leander was going to rot in jail for the rest of his life, by a miracle he didn't get a death sentence.
Before they could lead the tall male away, the shorter snuck out, being short on breath..
Tears threatening to come out at any moment.
He was unable to handle the pressure.
Unable to handle how calm the other was in the situation.
Ronin was doubting if he made the right choice, showing up at the trial.
And the fact that he found out from Avian... Just somehow made it all worse.
Shaking his head, in an attempt to shake off all the thoughts.
Stopping by an opening gazing up, noticing that he was by the gates to school.
Taking a few more steps, still staying hidden, a small smile grew on his lips as he noticed a small individual jumping around, talking to a teacher.
It was Ana.. Why was she outside of school right now?
Hm.
Soon, the small bean went back inside, visible pep in her step,, soon followed by her teacher.
"Ronin?.-"
The lavender haired male almost jumped out of his own skin, not expecting anyone call his name.
His head shot up, looking around, trying to find the source.
The whole world stopped the moment the moment his eyes met with a pair of familiar ones....
Ones he fell in love with.
Now looking like a fish, trying to utter a word, unable to, he stood frozen looking over the tall male.
Him being the last person he'd expect to see.
The male took a few steps towards the shorter, seeing him shocked.
Grasping his hands in his own, bringing them to his lips, planting a soft kiss on the back of both, while looking deep into his eyes.
"...Leander-
What-
How-"
After few seconds, he shakes his head, pulling his hands back from the redhead.
In a moment he wrapped his arms around the tall moron, his heart beating wild.
Soon he felt a pair of strong arms wrap around his smaller form.
Breathing in his familiar scent..
He could never describe it, but to him, it was just ..addicting.
Words can't describe how much he missed it.
Without a warning, he pulls away, surprising the both of them,
Giving the redheaded giant a big ol' slap.
Surprising the both of them..again.
Leander blinked a few times
Tears started streaming down Tazu's cheeks, probably not stopping any time soon.
"What the hell, Leander?!..."
He chocked on a sob.
"How in the hell..
How the hell are you here?-..
How did you get out-????!..." .
The male whisper yelled- trying not to make a scene, yet still wanting answers.
"... Ronin." .
Leander grasped Ronin's hands once more.
"I assume we both are here for the same reason... To look after Ana.
Am I correct?."
Tazu nodded, staying quiet, still feeling pretty emotional.
"I was informed about Ana being here... From Kol. .
The young man our Ana was seeing."
Ronin's eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
Before he could ask further-
"I was...informed of it when they got me out."
"What..do you mean.. Who got you out?."
Now feeling uneasy, his voice getting colder.
"Some kids from the school of yours, Kol also happened to be there.
Truthfully, I did not expect to get out any time soon, but ..here I am.
They only helped me to look after Ana, as they figured you wouldn't be in the best state of mind."
Ronin was left speechless, but...somehow just decided not to question it.
"But what now, aren't they looking for you?."
Leander sweat dropped, now a nervous smile playing on his lips.
"Well, you see.. I don't think that they will look for me any time soon."
This confused the other.
"Apparently- for Canada-
I am dead.
So I had to move."
Tazu blinked a few, processing the situation.
"...what do you mean-"
"You know I decided not to even question it-."
Leander did a little hand gesture, as you sometimes do when talking.
"And I assume you are not coming back either, Ronin?."
He looked down, before meeting the sky eyes once more
"No, I am not.
What happened back there, it was too much.
I know I wouldn't be able to come back to that even if I wanted to."
The redhead nodded, understanding.
After a moment of silence.
"So... What now?."
~*+*~
Our beloved fruity couple ended up renting a small apartment, not that far from Ana, but still keeping their distance for now.
Sometimes, they send her small packages to help her get by, Ronin sometimes makes lovely bentos for her, dropping them off at school, always giving them to someone else, mostly a teacher....
He doesn't want to confront Ana directly just yet, for her sake.
He explained to the teachers, that he is Ana's relative.
With a bit of 'proof', which was totally not fake by the way, they also understood why he couldn't hand it directly.
Too busy at work..you know it-
I wonder how Ana would react if they mentioned her dad, when she asks about the bentos..
They do seem familiar...
Ronin used to make her these.
