"Shoto! Y/N!" Fuyumi wore a surprised look.

Entering the place where he was raised, his sister greeted him.

"Hello Fuyumi." Shoto simply nodded.

"It's been a long time Fuyumi." Though you were nervous, you wore a warm smile.

She stares at you for a while, tears blurring her eyesight. It felt surreal to have you back.

Fuyumi hugged you tightly making you hug back. "Where have you been? We were so worried..." She sniffed.

You only laughed and looked at your kids. "I've been busy."

Fuyumi lets go from the hug to dry her tears. That was when she realized the two boys whose face looked similar in between you and Shoto.

She gasps. "Who are they? Oh, wait! Come in first and make yourselves at home."

As you all went inside and traditionally sat in front of the Japanese table, Fuyumi quickly made tea.

"Natsuo! Come down! We have visitors!" She yells.

"Hah?!" A fruity voice came from a man. "What's up?"

Out came Natsuo, Shoto's second older brother with white hair and a manly build.

"Hey Natsuo." Shoto sipped his tea, he looked plainly at his brother while Shoichi sat on his lap.

"Sorry for the intrusion. It's been a long time Natsuo, it's nice to see you again." You smiled and bowed respectfully at him.

"L/N-SAN??" He squinted his eyes in confusion. "Oi oi, why did you just appear now? We've been looking all over for you!"

Natsuo wore a worried look, sitting across you while Fuyumi sat across Shoto and Enji—the head of the household—sat on the center.

"And what's with these munchkins?" Shoto's brother pointed at the twins instantly making Shoichi glare.

"First of all, I'd like to apologize for being rude and leaving without saying goodbye. I'm also sorry for keeping my children a secret and for appearing just now." You apologized as you lowered your head.

"Y/N." Shoto held your hand, furrowing his eyebrows. "I also made a mistake here."

"Wait huh? Your children?" Natsuo's eyes widened.

"We're a Todoroki too, uncle!" Shoma exclaims, raising a hand after munching a dried seaweed (Nori) that Endeavor gave.

Both Fuyumi and Natsuo were taken a back, their brains momentarily had to take time to process while Shoto silently smiled to himself.

"NO WAY! MY LITTLE BROTHER ALREADY HAS KIDS???" Natsuo screamed, balling his hair into fists.

He was denying reality. What's new?

"No wonder they're so cute!" Fuyumi's eyes twinkled.

Shoma, being a social butterfly, raised his arms and gestured it to his auntie asking her to carry him.

"I'm Todoroki Shoma. I'm eight. And I'm mama and papa's good boy." He shows a bright smile.

"I have an adorable child." Shoto says, while you rolled your eyes.

Fuyumi scooped the child into her arms. "Hi Shoma, you're good-looking just like your parents. I'm your aunt Fuyumi!"

"Hey no fair! What about me?" Natsuo sobbed.

Shoichi looked away as he preferred to stay on his father's lap, chilling with him.

"And this is Shoichi. He came out first before Shoma so he's older than him by a few minutes." You gestured to the eldest.

Shoichi straightened his posture and respectfully whilst elegantly bowed at them. "It's nice to finally meet you aunt, uncle and grandfather. Father and mother told us about you."

"What a charming young prince~" Fuyumi awed.

"He didn't say anything bad about me?" Natsuo wore a hopeful smile.

Shoto and Shoichi shrugged in sync making Fuyumi burst in laughter while the man only sulked.

"I had them when I was in highschool so I had to keep it a secret from Shoto." You explained.

Endeavor stayed silent, looking down in guilt. After all, he was positive that he was one of the reasons why you had to carry the burden alone.

"Man, you really shouldn't have hid it L/N. Please, we were so worried for Shoto. I kept praying to the gods you'd return." Natsuo sipped his tea.

"It wasn't that bad..." Shoto frowned but his face lit up when he felt your hand hold his, making him smile.

"Well, everything's fine now!" Natsuo grinned.

Fuyumi nodded and showed a tender smile. "We accept you as our own Y/N. The same goes with the children."

"Thank you." You replied with a genuine smile.

"When should they visit their grandmother?" Endeavor decided to speak.

You looked at Shoto making him ponder before turning to his kids. "When?"

"Mom and dad loves grandmother a lot so I want to wear properly in front of grandma." Shoma said.

"We should bring her flowers when we can." Shoichi smiled.

So Shoto concluded, "Then maybe soon. Mother is getting well and I'm sure it'll make her feel better seeing her grandchildren."

The family nodded in agreement.

. . .

"It's been a long time since we had barbecue. Should we bring out the beer too?" Natsuo grinned, smelling the meat.

Since you came back—especially with two precious treasures, Endeavor himself decided to throw a small celebration.

"We have kids in the house." Enji spoke, intimidation coated the care in his voice.

Natsuo puckered his lips, looking away. His father was the last person he wanted to get scolded at—though he couldn't disagree.

"Maybe we can just have a few. I won't drink." Fuyumi winked at her brother in approval.

"I won't drink as well." You added while grilling since Fuyumi went to prepare the drinks and chairs.

The children ran around the yard (Shoma chasing and bothering Shoichi actually) while Shoto and Endeavor watched them.

Enji crossed his arms while Shoto inwardly smiled at his sons and oftentimes stealing glances at you while putting his hand on one pocket.

"Shoto." His father spoke.

"Hm." The dual-haired man hummed in reply.

"...Treat them well. Treat them better than I treated you."

"Of course." He muttered, holding back a sassy tone.

"Be a good father and husband. Someone I wasn't."

"Yeah..."

Though not long after, he choked on his drink and looked at his father with a blush on his cheeks. "Wait, did you say h-husband?"

Enji chuckled. "I'm not experienced in the field of love nor romance in marriage—but even I can tell the way you look at her is special. I bet you could see your future when you look at her."

Shoto cleared his throat, looking away while scratching his neck in embarassment. "Is it that obvious?"

His heteromatich eyes found their way to your laughing face, his heart's bliss.

A moment of silence between father and son was shared.

"It must feel nice." Enji mumbled.

"What do you mean?"

"To be in love." The answer momentarily caught his son off guard.

"Well it's Y/N. And it always feel wonderful to be with her." Shoto smiled to himself.

"... As a father, I give you my blessing. I hope that you both could at least—send me an invite when you both get married." Endeavor looked at his son.

And for a moment there, Shoto swore he saw his father's eyes smile in a split second.

"Yes father..." He nodded, looking away.

. . .

Natsuo hiccuped to himself while Fuyumi chuckled.

It was late in the evening so the men of the house drank.

After all, it is a time of reward after the daylight efforts are made, when it feels good to enjoy the simple pleasures and ready oneself for the world of dreams.

Natsuo drank to drink away his problems as a single and virgin man, defeated by his younger brother who is married and already has kids.

Endeavor drank because he's literally just that manly while Shoto drank to impress you.

While the adults were busy entertaining themselves, the children were already fast and deep asleep at their father's childhood room.

Drunk, Natsuo was noisy and a crybaby.

Endeavor, though drank a lot, was able to keep his composure since he was a heavy drinker and could still stay conscious.

Shoto, who intended to impress you how many shots he can take, ended up asleep on your lap, curling in a ball like a baby.

"Men." Fuyumi mocked, laughing.

"This is the first time I've seen Shoto drunk. I didn't know he'd be this adorable." You played with his hair while your other hand was being held by Shoto's.

"Oh this is my first seeing him as an adorable type of drunk. He'd actually drink recklessly before, trust me."

Which unbeknownst to you, he drank like an emotional wreck because of missing and longing you.

"I see... Don't worry, this time I'll make sure to take care of him for you." You tenderly smiled, not taking your eyes off of your lover.

Fuyumi couldn't help but smile as well.

Until you felt Shoto squirm and slowly wake up.

"Shoto?" Your voice made his heart flutter.

Slowly sitting up, he leaned into your shoulder. "Y/N, I want another child." He bluntly murmured.

You blushed, taken a back. Fuyumi laughed while Enji cleared his throat.

"H-hey! Don't say that out loud." You blushed red, scolding him. "You're so drunk..."

Shoto shook his head. "I'm not. I'm wideee awake."

Endeavor averted his eyes away, "Well... There is a hotel nearby—"

"S-sir!" You became embarassed in front of your lover's father while Fuyumi laughed even more.

. . .

The children were cuddled up with each other on the futon that covered their tiny bodies.

With Enji's help, he moved Shoto to lay down beside the children.

"Thank you sir and sorry for the bother." You bowed at Endeavor.

"It's okay. Also L/N, may I have a quick chat?"

He was striking a conversation first.

"Yes?"

"I would like to apologize... I deeply apologize for everything I've ever done to you and Shoto. I was blinded by what I wanted far from me that I neglected the ones who were beside me. I don't know what I could do to atone my sins—maybe I never will—but I would be glad if you'd at least accept my apology."

He tried to sound as genuine and honest as possible.

Enji felt like there was a lot of fire in him. Most of the time, he's the master of it. Though when triggered, the fire becomes the master of him.

So he continues, "I am getting better, but this won't be the last apology. There will be others, but I pray only a few."

He knows he can improve and that he is very capable of learning and maturing.

It caught you off guard. The once arrogant and prideful man bowed to you.

"I-It's okay! Everyone has mistakes but correcting them and genuinely taking responsibility for it is a sign that they're growing. So I appreciate your determination to improve, sir. If you need help, I can lend a hand as well."

You smiled warmly making Enji return the gesture back much to your surprise.

"I can see why my son, Shoto, fell in love with you L/N. You're a wonderful girl. Do take care of him and my grandchildren."

Happiness bubbled your heart hearing the sincerity from his words.

Your lover's father accepted not only you but the children as well. You swore you could just die from happiness right then and there.

You hummed in delight. "You don't have to tell me that, sir. I plan to make up the time I didn't spent with him for the last few years."

Endeavor nodded in approval.

Until you startled when he placed his hand on top of your head, ruffling your hair.

"Someday, I wish you can call and see me as a father as well."

Although he was awkward and timid, you were bursting with joy.

You can't wait to tell this to Shoto once he'd sober up tomorrow.

But before you could reply, you were surprise when someone pulled you in a back hug and slapping Endeavor's hand away.

Turning your head to look, you saw a half-asleep Shoto scowling.

"Mine." He spat and glared.

"Yes. She's yours Shoto." You swore you heard a light chuckle from Enji.

You blushed and lightly nudged your elbow at the dual-haired man.

"Hey you don't just get to talk bluntly like that..." You scolded.

"Let's sleep, I can't sleep without you." He murmured, nestling his face unto your neck.

"Alright then, I'll take my leave." Enji began to close the door.

You nodded and replied, "Good night father."

Although hesitant and foreign, Endeavor showed a silent and small smile before leaving.

Putting Shoto back to the futon, you laid down beside him and cuddled for his warmth.

Instinctively as a big spoon, he wraps his arms around you and tangled his legs with yours, pushing you closer to him making you chuckle.

"Sweet dreams, Sho."

He hummed. "I love you... I reallyyy really love you. Like you can't even believe how much I love you. It's really just that huge."

You smiled at his slurred words. "I get it, I love you too."
