"This is your boyfriend I presume?" Todoroki bowed at the stranger who was in the kitchen with rolled up sleeves.

"Yes sir, my name is Shoto Todoroki." He blinked at the man.
"A bit quiet aren't you." The man chuckled after washing his hands and drying them.
"Right! I'm Chan! It's nice to meet you! Say young man, do tell me what your quirk is." Todoroki looked at Lucifer in question.

"It's his job, he is usually very straightforward about these questions." Shoto then turned to the man.

He was quite tall with black hair that fell over his eyes. He had silver glasses perched on a sharp nose and he had slight wrinkles under his eyes, which had purple bags beneath them. His smile, despite his tired appearance, was warm and welcoming.

"My quirk is half hot and half cold." Shoto demonstrated a flaming fist, then a frosty hand.

"Two?! Oh aren't you fascinating!" Azrael giggled as she watched the man get excited and Shoto with a calm, tiny smile.

"So you're Endeavor's kid?" Shoto nodded as he chewed his shrimp.
"Interesting! You must be a very smart kid." Azrael nodded.

"One of the top ones in the class." She smiled proudly. Todoroki smiled softly at her as he chewed.

"Well then! I'm sure your family is very proud." Shoto almost dropped his spoon.
"Yes, they are." He said quietly and then continued eating.

"What do you like to do?" Shoto thought for a moment, swallowing his mouthful.
"Training and being with Azrael." He said.
"Well isn't that sweet!" Chan grinned.
"You should see him train Chan, he's brutal. He is worse than dad." Lucifer burst out laughing.

"Now that's saying something!" Shoto looked at everyone and smiled slightly.
"He does all this muscle training then does combat! His fighting style is amazing!" Lucifer nodded in agreement. "It really is something to see." He nodded along calmly whilst Azrael was nodding furiously.

"Careful, you're chewing." Shoto placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Mhm! He got in on recommendations!" He rolled his eyes slightly.
"Because of my father." He said.
"Yeah but your father wasn't sitting that exam, you were! And you did great!"
It was small moments like these that made him realize all over again,
that she truly did understand him more than most people.

"Thank you." He leant over and kissed her cheek.
"Aren't they adorable?" Lucifer signed.
"I'm just glad he is a good kid. If he was anything like his father, I'd be a little worried." Chan said, thinking of the large flaming hero in his mind.

"They have one thing in common though." Lucifer then looked forward and smiled as Azrael give Shoto a spoon of soup to try.

"Their lack of affection makes them idiots."

Chan facepalmed as Lucifer laughed
and smacked him on the back.
"You can still be so childish." Chan chuckled.
"I'm younger than you." Lucifer winked.

"Yeah, I'm still surprised." He then smiled at the two once more, who were staring at Azrael's phone.

"Oh I see, so you post things here?" He was looking at her Instagram page.
"Mhm! I'm surprised you never knew!" She then gave him her phone and allowed him to scroll through the posts.

"You look beautiful in all of these." He smiled.
"You flatter me." She giggled.
"Oh this is amusing." He clicked on a picture of her and Bakugo, looking at his annoyed expression as she pulled him in for a photo after they finished training, both in their hero gear.
"Who took it?" He asked her.
"Aoyama! He knows all the good angles." She explained.

Shoto wasn't surprised by that at all.

"Hey it's me." He pointed at the picture of them at the amusement park.
"Yes! One of the best days on my life! You got a lot of comments." He shrugged.
"There is a lot of me in here... is that my father?" She nodded, beaming.
"I got a picture after I went over for dinner at your place. It was nice of him." Shoto nodded, but still looked at her weirdly.

"And you willingly asked?" She nodded.
"He is still a really cool hero! I usually separate the hero Endeavor... from your father." She said carefully.

"It's okay." He patted her head with a small smile.
"Shoto how is your sister?" Lucifer asked whilst cutting into a piece of steak.

"You like the quiet don't you." She said as they sat by the lake behind the house.
After dinner they had helped with the dishes then Lucifer had excused them and they had gone outside by the lake once more.

"Yes I do." He said, fiddling with the grass in his hand with utter concentration.

"You know... this is gonna sound super cheesy but you know what, I'm going to say it anyways." He looked at her curiously but stayed silent.

"I really think you're great you know." She smiled shyly.
"Why would that be cheesy? I admire you as well." He raised an eyebrow at her.

"Yeah I know but like, as a person. I think you're really great. Like... I'm glad you're here with me. You know, as my best friend." Shoto smiled a little, for he knew how much weight rested on the words she spoke to him.

"You too." He smiled.

"Like I understand that we are together but you know, I trust you. A lot." He lay on the grass and looked at her calmly.

"I know." He said quietly.
They sat in a comfortable silence, enjoying the sounds the outside had to offer.

Azrael couldn't be happier, especially when a larger hand squeezed hers gently.
