Twenty-eight

I notice All Might at the table, not yet sitting, so of course he could see us behind my brothers. I chuckle softly "Nap is a bit of an understatement." I part the Red Sea (my brothers) and take a step toward the table, Izuku behind me. Upon the 'parting' I notice a familiar woman in a forest green dress sitting at the table as well "Mom!" Izuku squeaks when he sees her. She greets her son as we take our seats (Izuku pulled my chair out for me. >•<) and talk about random things, though Father wasn't talking much. But hey, who am I to be nosey. Both of my hands are under the table on my lap, though my left is holding Izuku's hand. My other siblings arrive and reacted to me being here and my new scar.

As the dinner arrives, Father was still silent but also not looking at me nor Izuku and Shoto who are on either side of me. I want to ask why he is acting this way, but I am not sure if it would be appreciated in this setting. "Endeavor, is there something wrong?" Inko asks in her motherly way, "I am fine ma'am just thinking about some things." he replies as he takes a sip of wine that was offered to the adults. I drink some of my water, something is definitely wrong.

Could it be me?

Or could it be guilt? I have no idea of what is going through that man's head, but I do know one thing: he is not fine and he don't want to talk about it. I stifle a yawn, geez I don't feel tired; why am I yawning? Thankfully no one noticed or asked about the yawn. I lean back in my chair, finished eating my dinner. As I listen to the conversation at my table, someone bumps into my chair from the left, spilling red wine onto my dress, parts of my hair and my boyfriend. "Oh, I am so sorry!" a voice says, not so sorry sounding. I look up to see a girl about 30 with a faux apologetic look on her face "It's fine." I stand up as some of the servers arrive with towels to clean up the wine. "Excuse me I am going to see if I can clean up a bit." I grab my black clutch and walk calmly to the bathroom, everyone looking at me again. Very tempting to flip them off. 

But I won't. 

Few minutes later

Good news, my hair is only a slight pink from the wine, with me cleaning it with hand soap. My dress on the other hand has a red stain on my hip that looks like a rose so I might just keep it and use a Sharpie to outline the rose. As I exit the bathroom, my father was waiting. "Hello I figured Shoto or Deku would be waiting here." I say walking up to the hero, "They were going to but Toya said that you were a big girl." he replies. "Well he would know best." I say as we walk back toward our table, this time everyone ignoring us. Geez thanks. I know I need to say something to him, but should I? "If you want, after camp of course, we can talk about what happened." I say quietly so that the people around us wouldn't hear, the hero nods stiffly "I've been wanting to do so since the exam." we reach the table before I could reply, but from what I can tell talking with Dad for that short amount of time helped him.
