Feeling a little guilty you had left the girls before they woke up, you made your way home to quickly get changed and washed up before seeing your dad at the hospital. Not only that, but you were also excited to start helping Sarah in her journey to walk. Today was more of a consultation and wiggling of toes. Yet it was a start, although the father and daughter knew you couldn't be there all the time, they appreciated that you would be there for the first one after the surgery.

As you got to the hospital, you went to the coffee shop to get your usual, all the baristas knew you due to fame, but they'd got to know you better from the amount of time you'd spent there over the last month or so. Feeling in a chipper mood though, you felt a little festive and went for an egg nog latte.

In all honesty, you could not help smiling and it had been getting bigger and bigger the more you saw people that cared for you. In some way, it was a comfort in a way to know that they didn't hate you, but you refused to accept they could love you and that maybe they were only doing it for their own closure.

"(f/n), gingerbread latte!" the barista called out for you to fetch the coffee from the end of the counter, then you made your way towards your dad's room. As you were leaving, a certain redhead was in the queue waiting to order a coffee. It was no mere coincidence that Kirishima was in the hospital.

Today, he would be on the children's ward reading stories, to seriously ill children. It was something he'd always done since he was sixteen. This year though, he had planned it with a cunning silver fox to be here at the same time as a princess, with the intention of stealing her heart all over again.

As you walked away, he wanted to call out, but he also didn't want to interrupt your time with your dad. It was clear you were still struggling with what happened, even though he wanted to just hold you in his large, as strong a rock arms and tell you that 'everything is going to be ok'. However, unlike the first time you met, he didn't rush in headfirst.

When you, got to your dad's room you could hear the remarkably familiar tones of Doctor Stein. Knocking once, you popped your head through the door to see your dad sitting up as much as he could talking to the good doctor.

"(F/n), is it that time already?" Stein commented, looking to his watch before looking to your dad.

"There is my favourite girl..." your dad was excited and the brightest he'd looked in ages as you walked through, carefully hugging him and placing a gentle kiss on his head.

"Hey dad, Doctor," nodding at the two men, taking a seat in the spare on at your dad's bedside.

"I was just explaining that it appears that the stomach is going to recover slightly, but it won't be the same. No heavy lifting needs to take it easy and your dad's diet will need to change," that made your face drop, the guilt coming back. "No need to have a long face, your dad had damaged his stomach years ago, the bullet just made it worst," that made your eyes widen, then turn to glare at your dad for keeping something so important from you.

"I'm your parent. It's my job to make sure you don't worry," Toshinori's large hand planted on your head, ruffling your hair as you pouted, "So I want you to start acting your age again. I also know that you ended it with all your boyfriends and girlfriends...now I'm not going to lecture you but was that what you wanted...or did you do it because of what happened," the blonde man's baby blues stared into your (e/c) eyes.

Stuttering, unable to get words out, it answered your dad's question making the large man sigh, "(f/n), your happiness is all I want," placing his large hand on yours, Stein awkwardly sat there.

"I know dad...I'm just leaving it up to fate now really. Your health is more important to me. So, until I know you can come home. I don't think I can give them my full attention," glancing away, you felt a pang of guilt. "I don't think they'd all want me back either," mostly Bakugou, Kaminari, Kirishima and Todoroki. You weren't sure on Midoriya, probably not because of Todoroki, then there was Tamaki who you also weren't sure about.

"QB, I know but think of yourself every once and a while," your dad looked stern, you knew he meant well, and he knew, no matter what he said you wouldn't think of anyone else but him. The thing was though, you felt guilty because all you could think about lately was trying to bump into the lovers on purpose, not knowing they were actually doing that.

"I'll try. Stein, do you think my dad will be able to come home for Christmas day?" looking to the man, he had a straight face as he appeared to be thinking for a second.

"I don't think so. We can't be sure until closer to the time." that made you face drop; your dad also didn't look happy but as you looked at your hands disappointed the two men gave each other a knowing look. The look of a secret that you were yet to find out.

It wasn't long until Stein left to go and check on other patients or whatever he had planned that day, so you spent about another hour with your dad chatting about anything and nothing really before it was time to go to meet Sarah and her dad Mark. As soon as you leave, your dad has the biggest smile on his face.

'She is going to be so happy Christmas day...maybe shocked,' he thought to himself until the exhaustion took over and sending him off for a little nap.

All the time that you had been in with your dad, Kirishima had been telling the children about the Princess and the Dragon, how they'd fallen in love at first sight. Of course, this was a little more fantasy than the actual occurrences that happened since he had to keep it child friendly.

Yet his red eyes kept glancing at his watch, knowing that you would be coming this way soon and would go directly past the common area that he was telling the story to the children. The waiting was killing him, but you wouldn't know to look at him as he kept the kid's attention, pulling funny faces, doing weird voices and pretending to be a dragon and a princess.

Kirishima was the perfect dad material, probably the best dad material out of the guys even though they'd all be amazing parents in their own way. When the clock struck the magic time, a large smile formed on his face.

"Right...shall we have a picnic in here and I'll tell you more adventures?" the redhead smiled as the nurses, both female and male swooned over the handsome guy as they brought in the kids' food, helping those that needed it.

As you met Sarah and Mark, they were both over the moon to see you as you went over giving them both a hug.

"Hey there, we excited to start wiggling those toes?" giggling at the little girl, she nodded.

"Yep...daddy has been helping me a lot," she smiled at the man who blushed a little.

"Well, that's because my princess will dance at the ball," the man commented, making you smile a lot. The two reminded you of your own family life after your mum had passed away so suddenly.

"That is one amazing daddy you have, Sarah," smiling the three of you began to make your way towards the children ward. As you got closer, you could hear someone reading stories quite loud. It made you giggle as they were doing funny voices when you first got there and looking around there didn't seem to be any nurses around, which meant they must have been listening to the story.

"You wait here. I'll see if I can find the nurse to direct us in the right direction," as you walked away, Sarah looked at her dad, giving him a thumbs-up as he gave his daughter one back.

As you got closer to the open room, the voice sounded so familiar but due to doing the different voices, you couldn't quite place it. As soon as you got to the door though, your breath was taken back. Sat there was your red dragon, telling the children a story, the whole room entranced by the god-like being sat in front of them.

"Looks like the princess has arrived!" Kirishima glanced his sexy red eyes up at you, licking his lips like you were a tasty meal.

"YAY!" the kids in front of you all cheered, as you did look exactly like the princess the man had described to them.

"Ooh sorry, I just needed to get someone as Sarah is here for her appointment." smiling, your face completely flustered by the comment. A nurse saw how embarrassed you looked and sympathised a little with you, but of course I little jealous that you had instantly caught the red head's attention.

"Oh yes...I'll come help," she commented as you nodded, turning to walk away you were stopped by a hand grabbing yours. It was known how fast the redhead was, but you'd not heard him move.

"Will the princess, be coming back?" the warm hand in yours, the roughness of his voice made you practically weak at the knees. Looking back slightly. Your eyes glanced into his, not trusting your voice, all you could do was nod. A huge grin plastered itself on Kirishima's face, that is all he needed as he released your hand from his grasp, allow you to continue on with the nurse.

"Don't worry boys and girls. The princess never breaks a promise...she'll be back soon but remember how she cast a magic spell to help the mermaid walk, well...that's where she is going," that made you bite your lip, you wanted him.

Stopping, you turned to grab Kirishima's hand pulling him down to your level as you kissed him softly on the lips. It had always been love at first sight, with the others it had been practically the first time you spoke to them.

Yet, with Kirishima from the moment you walked into his Pilates class, you had fallen for the massive guy with the kindest smile and eyes.

Pulling away, Kirishima was stunned, a huge smile forming on his face as if drunk from the very touch of your lips. The kids did the classic 'Erghhh' but then laughed.

"See you soon Red Dragon," smiling you let him go, going back to the duo waiting for you.

***Happy December 14th everyone! Hope you enjoyed chapter 14. I have such as soft spot for the lovely Sharkboi...and the boom boi to...***
