Chapter 6


Bakugo's POV

"This is what you get once you become reckless, Midoriya-san." Naoshi said as he put his hands over the freshly clean wound of Deku. He awkwardly chuckled and groaned once again Naoshi started to use his quirk.

"I'm just glad we got to visit you, Naoshi-sensei." He said, Naoshi sighed and waved out his white hair from his view.

"Visiting me and the team means that someone got injured, don't visit me so often." He insisted. Deku tried to protest to him but he was cut off by the white haired doctor's quirk.

Shoto and I waited for him to finish getting treated in the clinic inside the agency. I continuously tapped my foot on the ground as Naoshi bandaged his chest.

"Okay, the wound closed up since it's shallow, just don't do too much work and keep increasing your collections of scars." Naoshi sighed as he put some alcohol on his hands.

"Okay, Naoshi-sensei." Deku said as he jumped out of the hospital bed making Naoshi sighed once again and just kept his mouth shut. He's too used to us being this reckless. I sometimes feel bad but he has no choice for the matter, we live in a society.

"You good, now?" I asked Deku as Shoto gave him a shirt and his blazers. Deku thanked him as he wore it and sat beside me.

"Yeah, I'm good." He said. We looked towards Naoshi who was wearing his gloves and fiddling with his horn. He got his swivel chair and sat in front of us.

"I'm assuming you need to hear me about the three's condition." He said, not asking because he already knows our intention. Deku nodded as we paid attention to Naoshi.

"They are fine." He started, "Amaris-chan needed some stitches while I only applied some ointment to Agni-kun's leg. Aouli-kun is in perfect shape once he will get some sleep since I healed almost all his wounds." He said as he folded his legs together.

"The thing is, they are used to pain..." He frowned. "Normally, when I uses it to people who are not used to my quirk they will freak out and I guess, passed out." He flinched at his statement and held his right horn with his hand, a habit.

"I don't have a particular clue with it but they are just like you, they groaned out and grunted but they stay still and even hide the pain. Normally, I would be proud of it but considering that they are teens I would have expected some freak outs." He said. We sat in silence as we processed what he had said.

"It's like, it's everyday they get to have new wounds and then be healed once again." Naoshi said. "I only got to see some light scar on their torso, leg, and arms. It was very light that it can be perceived as just nothing, but as a doctor it really is noticeable." He said as he looked towards us. I click my tongue as he continues.

"How did they get injured anyway?" He asked.

"We...don't know." Shoto answered. We were silent as Naoshi sighed and leaned on his chair.

"That's alright, they are being careful anyway." He said, "No one wants to tell their life to some strangers." He mused.

"But, why do they look comfortable in your house? I'm not even used to going in there even though I've visited several times. I'm amazed at how you coaxed them to lower their guard down like that." He said.

"The kids made them comfortable." Shoto answered.

"And you're just an awkward goat." I snickered. Naoshi gives me an indifferent look as he just ignored my statement.

"That's so sweet of them, Todoroki-san." He said with a smile towards Shoto, totally ignoring me now.

"Yeah, they even became friends just as fast as they met them." Deku said and chuckled.

"That's good." Naoshi commented as he smiled softly. We all were silent as we remembered the children's failed social interactions with the people with their same age. I clench my teeth as I sighed.

"Anyway," Naoshi spoke, snapping us out of our thoughts, "I also want to say some things I've eavesdropped with them babbling on as they sleep when they thought I went out already just to go back to get what I've forgotten." We blinked at his statement but listened as he went on.

"They said that the curry Bakugou-san made was really delicious!" He said and chuckled.

"They also freaking blabber about Midoriya-san's kindness and even state that they admired Todoroki-san's cool attitude towards them." Naoshi smirked.

"You've got some loving fans once again." He said. I looked away at him as I held my mouth to hide my embarrassment. Shoto's face looks red as he looks at the ground and Deku has a bright smile.

"They're so cute." Deku cooed and Naoshi laughed.

"Yeah yeah they are..." Naoshi just agreed and sigh as if another weight had settled on his shoulder.

"Alright, back to my report." Naoshi started. We sat straight as we listened to him.

"I did say they are alright and all, that their wounds only needed some little bit of magic from me, but their healing should take months." He said, "It's wonderful that Agni-kun can walk already but you mentioned it was really purple, right, Todoroki-san?" He asked and Shoto nodded.

"Yeah, Setsu also told me about it." Shoto answered.

"That should be dangerous! I mean like purple, blueish, and blackish color of a sprained leg should be sent to a hospital already!" He explained, "And yet he's fuck– freaking standing!" He said, I snickered at his change of words but remained silent as his words sink in to us.

"Oh yeah." Deku blurted out, as if everything made sense all of the sudden. Well yes, but actually no, I still don't get it.

"Setsu healed them." I said.

"Yeah, Setsu-chan did but it was a first aid treatment so that it wouldn't be worse than it already was." He answered.

"Maybe it's because of their quirks?" Shoto suggested. Naoshi frowned as he held his chin and thought for a bit.

"Hmmm, maybe..." He trailed and looked at us. "You don't know their quirk then?" He asked. We all shook our heads that made him sighed and crossed his arms.

"Okay. Maybe you should ask them?" He asked us.

"Wouldn't happen..." I whispered.

"Oh yeah..." He said, remembering how they can be secretive.

"You can examine them again, Naoshi." Deku suggested.

"If they want to." He said and shrugged his shoulders.

"We'll just see." Todoroki said and Naoshi nodded. We were silent as our thoughts were filled with the brats once again. Naoshi sighed and stood up, we looked at him as he held his swivel chair.

"I will think about the examination and inform you when I decided to do it." He said as he dragged his chair towards his table.

"Keep them safe for the time being, they are a bit suspicious but they can be trusted." He said as he gripped his white coat, "I've treated a fair share of people who experience something worse in their life and they are one of them."

*few minutes before before the dads arrive*

Setsu's POV

It's already afternoon which I greatly loved and hated. Afternoon means we can go home, that we can finally rest and be at ease but, as of right now, Mizuki hasn't shown up yet. I waited under the three in front of our school as I bit my nails and shuffled my feet.

I looked at my wristwatch and saw that it's only 4:20 pm. Mizuki should be here with me already at four but he didn't turn up. I fear that it has something to do with those childish bastards who terrorize Mizuki and I this past few years.

If only I can confidently punch them in the face and have no consequences in doing so, but I'm scared so much, and I don't want our dads to be called at our school because I did something un-hero like. I sighed in frustration as I gripped the straps of my bag and trudge towards the first year's building.

I tried searching for him, and got side eyes and looked at me weird. I awkwardly maneuvered the halls as I looked at Mizuki's room which is 1-B. I let out a noise as I saw the sign and walked towards it. I could hear laughter and taunts making me widen my eyes and run towards the door.

I slammed it open and saw a sorry sight. Mizuki was on the floor as he was dosed by water filled with different trash. I can see red as I felt immense rage consume me. Mizuki looks towards me with a vulnerable stare as I clench my fist when I feel something shatter in my heart.

"Setsu-nee?" He called out in such a weak voice. I can feel myself tearing up as I squint my eyes and clench my teeth so hard.

"Mizuki, come on." I tried to say in a composed tone as the people surrounding them watched me with curious and annoying stares.

"Pitiful Nee-chan!" Someone shouted as they laughed and kicked Mizuki. I growled at them as I can feel myself getting colder.

"Ignore them, Mizuki." I said in between gritted teeth. I spread my arms as he used his quirk to run past them so fast and hugged me, I nearly fell on my rear.

"Come on." I whispered to him as I gave one last heated glare and guided Mizuki outside the building.

My eyes stung as I blink them constantly. I can feel Mizuki's body trembling as I just side hug him tightly and get back under the tree.

"Shh, I'm here, they are an ass for doing that and I want to bitch slap them so hard they get back to being an infant." I joked but I can feel myself trembling from rage and sadness. How dare they, I am tempted to do what I just said.

Mizuki laughed a little as he hugged me tightly. I patted his back and kissed his hair.

"You smell terrible." I said, near tears and chuckling.

"Shut up..." He mumbled out and let out some teary laugh. I let out a sobbed and hugged him closer.

"Goddamn it..." I mumbled.

I was dazed when our dads showed up with Katsumi already in the car. I explained what happened to them as I unconsciously shut off my awareness and after the talk, watched the passing houses. Katsumi was holding both our hands as we snuggled closer to her. I'm glad we have a thoughtful little sister.

I blink back the tears that dare to fall off when I'm not on guard. I harshly wiped them away as I looked up and saw our house being near. I sighed in relief.

The car entered the garage as we are assured by Papa Izuku inside, I can hear him talking with Papa Katsuki as he raised his voice and I dare not to understand it.

"Setsu-chan?" I looked up and saw Amaris-san looking at us in confusion.

"Mizuki, here, some towels." Aouli-san said as he put the towel around Mizuki and put another one on his hair and helped him dry it off.

"Amaris-san." I greeted her with a smile. She smiled at us as Papa Shoto told her something that made her face crunch in worry as she looked towards Mizuki and I.

"Shit, okay, we prepare some lots of food so I think it can cheer them up." She said to Papa Shoto.

"Thanks, Amaris." He said with so much sincerity. Amaris-san just smiled as she held my hand and guided me inside the kitchen. Mizuki was with Aouli-san and Papa Izuku as they washed him off of that filt. Katsumi was with Agni-san the moment we got out of the car.

We entered the kitchen and saw the duo there already with Papa Katsuki eating a sandwich the three had prepared. I was suddenly overcome with hunger when I saw the table filled with different kinds of snacks. Amaris-san told me to wash my hand first as I do so fast and get a sandwich. I sat beside Amaris-san and ate a sandwich with ham and egg in it. I closed my eyes as I savored the juiciness of the eggs and ham.

My eyes slowly watered as I took another bite and chewed it. I blink them out just so I can get the blurry sight away and gazed at the mouth watering food but it only made my eyes water more. I sniffed and let out some few whimpers as I ate and Amaris-san stayed by my side as the other stayed quiet and let me weep. Amaris-san offered me some tissues and water with a smile.

I greatly appreciated it as I finished up my sandwich and wiped my eyes, blew my nose and drank the water in one gulp.

"Thanks..." I mumbled out.

"No problem, cry baby." She said with no bite and just playfulness, I gave her a watery smile as I got another one.

I heard Papa Katsuki sighed, making me look at him as he shifted his gaze somewhere else. I smiled as I saw him getting red from embarrassment.

"What is it, Papa?" I asked just so I can make him talk. Papa Katsuki hummed as he kept his sandwich near to himself as if he was trying to shield himself from the fear of talking. I waited for him as I bite on my sandwich, which is so delicious alright.

"Setsu..." He started, the three of us watched him with curiosity. "Do you want to change schools?" He asked, suddenly being serious. He looked me in the eyes as he bit on his sandwich without straying from my gaze.

I recoiled and slouched on my back, changing schools? I do want that but that means I submitted to their freaking torments. But Mizuki, if we changed schools, he can be safe.

"I'm not gonna change school after I graduated." We looked towards the entrance of the kitchen and saw Mizuki.

"Mizuki..." We all spoke. Mizuki scratched his cheeks as he quietly sat in front of me and got a sandwich. Aouli-san and Papa Izuku followed and took a seat too.

"But they're gonna continue that." Papa Katsuki muttered as he had an unreadable face, as the topic made him uncomfortable that he decided not to show any of us his uneasiness.

"We've always been treated like that and we can't do anything even though we tried to talk to the teachers." Mizuki bitterly stated. Amaris-san put down her cup of juice and slammed her face on the table. We all flinch as she starts muffling her screams. Papa Katsuki mouthed a curse, Papa Shoto was indifferent as he poured some tea while Papa Izuku was confused.

"Are my ears deceiving me?" Amaris-san whispered to me, "You guys are getting bullied all the time?!" She hissed out. I grimaced and nodded. She seethes and crosses her arms, fuming and grumbling.

"I thought it was just once...I wanna punch them." She muttered that made me smile.

"Same..." I murmured.

"Mizuki, I can help with the bullying." Aouli-san whispered, "Just tell me who they are and the next day, they will stop." Mizuki widened his eyes as he glanced at Aouli-san.

"No, Aouli-san, that's ridiculous." He nervously whispered back. Aouli pursed his lips as he looked at Mizuki with puppy eyes.

"Come on, no one's gonna get hurt." He said. Mizuki rolled his eyes.

"Liar." He muttered and took a bite on his sandwich. Mizuki grinned as he lowly chuckled.

"I guess, I am." He whispered and got some food on the table. I looked at him in indifference as I watched Mizuki close his eyes and inhale loudly and sighed.

"Okay, I'm going to tell you but don't do anything, clear?" Mizuki whispered. Aouli-san's ears perked up as he smiled.

"Crystal." He beamed. Mizuki giggled. I smiled behind my food as we ate peacefully.

-Timeskip-

Amaris' POV

After the little snack and some Chicken curry for the night, courtesy of Bakugou-san, we all decided to play uno for fun, that was what I was expecting but instead, it got intense against Katsumi and Bakugou-san, with all the sevens placed down, to the +4.

Agni tried his best to calm them down since he was in between them and the victim between the war against the two, he even had to hug Katsumi before she went insane on Bakugou-san.

Bakugou-san even had courage to flip her off but, thankfully, Agni was covering her eyes. The other two fathers shout at him for doing that. I honestly feel bad and a little giddy, they are so chaotic.

After they were all put to bed by the adults, Agni looked so drained, with his cards on the table his soul slowly drifting out, and some of his hair were sticking out. Suddenly Katsuki slams a mug right in front of Agni causing him to jolt up and look at him, confused and startled.

"Here, sorry 'bout the chaos." He muttered as he flopped beside Agni. My brother looked at the steaming warm cup of cocoa back to Bakugou-san. He beamed as he cradled the cup in his hands.

"Thanks, Bakugou-san." He said, Bakugou-san nodded and faced the four of us.

"Another round?" He asked with raised brow. Deku-san grinned as he gathered the cards and shuffled them.

"Of course, I still need to win." He cheekily said, his husband smirked as Shoto-san sighed and buried himself on the sofa, the foam dipping as he did so.

"Childish." He muttered, luckily, Bakugou-san didn't hear it as Deku-san started giving us seven different cards. I slide my cards and get it to myself so no one can peak on it and dip on the back rest of the sofa. I cradle it on my chest as I looked at my cards. I smiled and looked at them.

"Okay, the one that is on my left should start." Deku-san said and Aouli lay a card.

There are a lot of draws on the side of Bakugou-san and Agni making our side suffer. Luckily, Shoto-san didn't waver and draw a plus two card and started crushing them with his lucky picks. I cheered for him while Aouli and Deku-san became silent making us not pay much attention to them.

"UNO!" Deku-san screamed as he slammed his card and was left by one.

"SHIT! Curse you, Deku!" Bakugou-san yelled as he held his ten cards tightly. Aouli giggled as I glanced at my left to see he, too, has two cards.

"Holy crap." I muttered as Aouli also put his 5 green.

"Uno." He said and grinned.

"Aouli!" Agni whined, his eight cards being a mess in his hands.

I look at my five cards, seeing no green nor five. I bit my lips as Bakugou-san did his turn, Agni, then Shoto-san drawing a green 7. I sighed as I got something on the deck and looked at it. I nearly choke.

"Okay," I muttered as I coughed and sighed. I look towards the strewn cards and put the plus two.

"HAH! Serves you right, Deku!!" Bakugou-san boasted as he laughed. Deku-san whined and got two cards. I sighed and muttered an apology but he laughed it off.

"It's alright, just have fun." He said and grinned, I smiled back and we got back to the game.

I got lucky third in a row, as Aouli got a plus four and no one was on Uno for the last fifteen minute. Agni looked at me as he mouthed a word. I snorted as I looked towards Aouli and smirked at him and looked at the adults. I don't know if he gets it but he just nodded and we decided to defeat the adults.

The game goes on as Agni, for the first time, got an Uno. He was so excited it made me laugh at him. We continued on, having a hidden teamwork to defeat the adults. Bakugou-san starts to get frustrated when he is running out of luck when it comes to drawing. After Agni finally got to get his single card down, he was cheering. Bakugou-san cursed and Deku-san congratulated him. Agni thanked him and watched us get done.

The second and third Uno was me and Aouli. We both threw our remaining cards and watched the adults while giggling. Bakugou-san was clenching his teeth hard as he concentrated, Shoto-san was still making him suffer with plus two, sometimes it goes to Deku-san then at Bakugou-san being a four.

The first one to get an Uno from them was Deku-san and as Shoto-san put a yellow three, he put down his yellow one. Deku-san laughed as Katsuki-san got angry but ignored it in order to defeat Shoto-san.

They always put down something, Shoto-san put down a blue five, there are only two cards in his hands. Bakugou-san cheered as he slammed a blue 6.

"Uno, bastard!" Bakugou-san yelled. Shoto-san looked at the strewn cards and just nodded and got a card. Bakugou-san was irritated when he didn't get any reaction.

In the end, Bakugou-san won and Shoto-san lost. He wasn't fazed by his loss making Bakugou-san yell at him but he just ignored his husband. I just chuckled as I grabbed a pillow and put it on my lap.

My tail swishes as Deku-san gathers the decks. He put it back on the box as he got the Jenga. I blink as I grab my tail to prevent it from swaying so much. I have never played Jenga but have heard of it, I think I'm going to enjoy this. My tail was removed from my hands as it sways making me sighed at it and just let it be.

"That's an active tail, Amaris." Shoto-san said beside me. I flinched as I grabbed it and chuckled awkwardly.

"It's part of my quirk." I answered. Deku-san perked up at the word.

"What's your quirk, Amaris-chan?" He asked as his eyes twinkled, he looked excited. I smiled awkwardly and fiddled with my pillow. Discussing my quirk can be a bit nervous but it made me smile silly when someone would like to know my quirk.

"Uhm..it's a Ying-Yang kind. I can manipulate the power of light and darkness." I said, my voice trembling from embarrassment as I still want to say a lot of things about it and be giddy when it comes to the explanation of it. Deku-san voiced his amazement as the adult's attention was on me. Aouli and Agni have their ears perk up, tails swishing like mine. I guess, they also want to talk about their quirk.

"That explains the color." Shoto-san said as he stared at my ears. It twitched as I smiled.

"Yeah..." I agreed.

"Then, if you have those ears, can you shape shift?" Bakugou-san asked.

"Tokoyami-kun has a bird head but he can't shape shift, so does the pro hero Hawks, you know." Deku-said. Bakugou-san just scoffed.

"I know that." He said, "I'm just trying to get into the conversation, idiot." Deku-san smirk and chuckled.

"Pft, if you say so." He snickered. They looked at me once again and waited for my answer.

"Uh, yeah, we can do that." I said.

"Even Aouli and Agni?" Shoto asked and I nodded.

"Yes, even them." I said.

"That's cool..." Bakugou-san muttered.

"Do they also have some certain other powers like how you can manipulate light and darkness?" Deku-san asked.

"We do!" Agni told them, "I can manipulate fire and it will change color and strength based on my mood!" He said with a cheeky grin as his hands caught fire, it was a warm red color. Shoto-san seemed interested as he looked at it in concentration.

"That's amazing." He mutters, "Does it ever hurt you when you change it?"

Agni shakes his head, "It doesn't, at least not anymore..." He states and looks away as if a little intimidated. "It used to hurt, my skin wouldn't get burned by it but the pain when I ignite and maintain the fire was unbearable, so my dad helped me try to tolerate the pain..." He said as he slightly chuckles nervously. Shoto nodded in understanding.

"Yes, fire powers are hard." He whispered.

"Oh gosh, don't remind me..." Aouli states with a sigh. "The training was intense." Amaris pipes in, "Even our mom had to make us train literally so early, the sun wasn't even up....." She sulks, ears droopy as she remembers their parents. Agni plays with his quirk as he ignites it and makes it bigger. Bakugou-san stared at it as it danced on Agni's hands.

"Stop that at once." Aouli said and swiped his hands to splash him some water droplets. Agni sputtered and the flame diffused. "You'll get the house burn." Aouli rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.

"Aouli! You little...!" He was cut off when I waved my hand and confined them in a ball of darkness. Deku-san gaped at the large ball of darkness, Shoto-san stared, wide eyes as Bakugou-san flinched away and looked at me and the ball.

"Sorry 'bout them, they're gonna go on if I don't stop their bickering." I said and chuckled. Agni and Aouli yelled at me from there but it was muffled. They yell their apologies and I snickered. I clenched my fist and grab, it made the ball of darkness dissipate. They gasped as they sunk on the sofa and glared at me. I ignore them.

The adults awkwardly watched us as I faced the Jenga and got a piece of wood to examine it.

"Are we gonna play or what?" I asked, Deku-san laughed and smiled.

"Alright, let's start." He said and I grinned.
