Upon entering their penthouse, Dazai was confronted with 4 sets on heated glares. 

"I can explain!" He yelled, as he looked at his husband and their beloved child, both sporting matching glares. 

"You better," Chuuya snarled, "You can't just disappear like that!" 

"I had to handle something personally!" Dazai yelled, as Chuuya was walking up to him relatively fast. 

"What was it?" Chuuya growled, his voice dropping even deeper. 

"Arrangements for your dads, they wanted to come visit from France," Dazai quickly said, his cover story already set in place by Ango, last minute. Chuuya deflated some, but then that fire was reignited as if he remembered something.

"Okay then, now where the hell did you send our son that was so important outside the barrier?" And Dazai almost deflated, but thought quick on his feet. 

"He went to retrieve them, it was a top secret mission, you know?" Dazai said in a sing-songy voice as he reached forward and pinched Chuuya's cheeks, "All for my favorite chibi husband." 

Chuuya pouted, but allowed Dazai to kiss him, even though he was angry, he couldn't deny that he missed his husband while he was absent most of the day. 

"So we're not mad at dad, anymore, papa?" Q asked, as they looked curiously between their parents.

Chuuya giggled as Q asked, and turned to them, with a soft and small smile on his face, before shaking his head lightly. 

"No, he's just being dumb ol Dad again."

Q nodded like that was a perfect explanation and turned back to their TV program, which made Dazai look scandalized. 

"I'm not dumb! Chibi, why are you saying I'm dumb? I'm the smartest man in this penthouse!" Dazai was whining, holding onto Chuuya's sleeve as he tried to walk away, giggling, "Chuuyaaa this isn't funny! Tell our kid I'm smart!" 

Chuuya continued on walking while giggling, even with Dazai tugging on his sleeve.

Once Oda was pulling away from the hotel, having let the heroes and students off, Aizawa turned to Hawks, and gestured for him to follow. 

Once they were back in their shared room, Aizawa raised his eyebrows, and this caused Hawks to gulp. 

"The first time I heard the name King of Assassins was a little before I debuted, the Hero Commission tried to keep everything very hush-hush on what was happening from the trainees and the public but," Hawks then pursed his lips, "The assassin started targeting the Commission."

"Targeting them how?" Aizawa almost regretted asking, based on how Hawks froze slightly. 

"The King of Assassins eliminated over 20 trainers and 5 trainees in the span on a day, it put everything on edge, but then he just disappeared for some time," Hawks explained, not wanting to get into too much detail. 

"You said that was the first time you heard that name, there were other times?" Aizawa asked, tilting his head slightly, curiously. 

"I was 3 months into my career as a pro hero, when I started noticing that certain villain organizations were being targeted," Hawks explained, his eyes hardening, as he looked forward. 

"What organizations?" 

"Organizations that were actively trying to enter Yokohama."

"So you think now that the Port Mafia hired him to take out those organizations?" 

"Yes, it is very possible, back then no one could figure out why the King of Assassins were targeting these organizations. No one was ever able to pin the King of Assassins as someone from Yokohama, but now it's making more sense as to what happened back then, with both of those cases." 

"Both cases?" 

"Those trainers and trainees were advocating for entering Yokohama and cleaning it up, but the President was vehemently against it, she didn't want to start a war, in her own words, she said that it was likely Yokohama would win." 

"So you think the President is also behind it?"

"I do and I think most of the higher ups in the Hero Commission were and are in on it too."

"Back to the King of Assassins, do you know if he ever came back?" Aizawa asked, wanting to know, considering what it sounded like, the Assassin was outside the barrier, doing who knows what. 

"Yes, the Hero Commission kept close tabs on his M.O., and for the past year, he's been in France and Russia."

"So, he's now returning to Yokohama, probably to get another target," Aizawa theorized, then he narrowed his eyes in thought, "And he's bringing his husband? Do you know if the King of Assassins has a partner or if this is a new thing? Does his husband not know what he is getting involved with?"

Hawks seemed to be thinking about it as he looked down. 

"I don't think it's ever been discovered if he has a partner, so it must be new," Then Hawks eyes went wide, "What if he's bringing his husband to Yokohama to introduce him to the business?"

Verlaine and Rimbaud were joined by Akutagawa at the border between Yokohama and the rest of Japan. 

"New plan, per Dazai, I went and retrieved you two from the airport," Akutagawa said, as he leaned slightly back in his seat, beside Verlaine. 

"Why the new plan?" Rimbaud asked, as he looked at the smaller boy. 

"Some kind of argument with papa," Akutagawa explained and this caused Verlaine to chuckle slightly. 

"Chuuya still doesn't suspect a thing, does he?" Verlaine asked as he calmed down his chuckle. 

"No, and he will not know until dad decides he needs to know," Akutagawa then looked down before continuing, "I do not want papa to know what was said about him, especially considering they called him a monster among other things."

"I want to know why a researcher went into so much detail about one person while the others only got simple descriptions," Verlaine growled, his hands clutching the seat of the car, and Rimbauld quickly grabbed one of his husband's hands as their driver let out a small yell. 

Their car was floating. 

"Verlaine, my beloved, calm down, Chuuya is waiting to see you. You do not want him to see you angry, do you?" 

Akutagawa watched as Verlaine almost calmed down instantly and they were back on the ground in no time. 

Their driver, a mafia member, luckily, let out a sigh before continuing down the tunnel into the city.

Rimbaud and Akutagawa shared a look and it was like they collectively decided not to bring up what happened with that researcher from the Hero Commission.

Once they made it to the penthouse, Verlaine led the way to the door, and just let himself in. 

"Chuuya," Verlaine called out, but before Chuuya made it him, he had Q in his arms, hugging him slightly,"Hello Q."

"Hi Grandpa," Q replied as they looked and smiled slightly at Rimbaud.

Q only acted like this around people they trusted, to any outsider they were cold, quiet and hated being touched.

"Hey dad," Chuuya greeted, hugging Verlaine and slightly trapping Q between them, and as they tried to get out from between them, both Verlaine and Chuuya laughed, before Dazai reached out to ruffle Q's hair and pull him from the embrace. 

"They got ya, huh?" Dazai asked Q as he set them down on the ground. 

Q just glared up at their dad before huffing and returning to the couch, where their blanket and mochi were. 

Rimbaud then was pulled into a hug by Chuuya, who was smiling wide. 

"I'm so happy to see you in person, video calling isn't enough."
