A New World (Todoroki x OC)

Chapter 32 - Soba Day Out

I chuckle when Tora jumps up and down excitedly as I put on my boots. "C'mon, Momma. C'mon!" He exclaims.

"Alright alright, I'm coming. Go get your backpack." I tell him as I grab my long coat.

"Otay!" He runs over to the couch and puts on his backpack that has stuff that he might need, including extra diapers and snacks. He runs back over as I open the door and hold it open for him. He runs in front of me before turning back to wait for me.

"We're leaving, Ren!" I call before closing the hotel door. I walk down the hall, Tora beside me. We go into the elevator and he giggles as his stomach does a little flip when it starts going down.

"Where's Dad?" Tora asks.

I smooth his hair as I reply. "He should be outside. He said he brought his car and he's gonna take us to breakfast."

He smiles up at me. Before the elevator door opens and he runs out. I put on my mask before coming after him. I keep my eye down and make sure my face is hard to see so that people don't see my scar. I should actually get a mask that covers most of my face. Maybe one that just shows my eye and nose and some of my cheek.

When we make it out of the hotel, Todoroki is there waiting, leaning against a fancy and beatiful black Tesla. When he sees us, he kneels down before Tora jumps into his arms and spins him around once, Tora giggling.

Todoroki looks happy when he holds his son in his arms, not to mention Tora being energetic around him.

He looks at me before setting him down. He smiles as I look at the car. "Being a hero pays off, doesn't it?" I say.

He grabs the back of his neck. "It's a nice car..."

I chuckle, nodding. "I love it. How fast?"

"Around 280." He replies.

I raise my eyebrows in reply. "280? Dang. We should take it for a spin when Tora isn't here."

He smiles his shy smile. "Yeah. We should."

We gaze at each other before Tora pats my leg. "Mum."

I look down. "Yeah?"

"Hungry." He says, looking down at his stomach and poking it.

I laugh before picking him up. "Alright. Where are we eating?" I ask.

"Is soba okay?" He asks.

I nod. "Cold?"

He nods. "Of course."

I go to the other side and go into the passenger seat. As I get in, I chuckle. "Remember that time you came over and stayed the night and had some late night cold soba?"

He looks at me and chuckles. "I remember. Yaka and Kyoko were playing cards." He adds.

"Yaka really enjoyed teasing us." I say.

He nods before backing up after I put my seatbelt on, Tora sitting on my lap. Tora suddenly leans foward and opens the glove box out of curiosity. I pull him back. "Tora, no. Don't do that." I whisper.

"Sorry, Momma." He replies as I lean forward to close it. Then, something catches my eye.

"Oh my god." I say, grabbing gloves from the glove box. "You still have these?" I ask.

He looks at them before blushing a bit. "Yeah. I actually wear them a lot. They're... Comfortable."

I laugh, looking at the white skulls on the black gloves that Yaka gave to Todoroki. "Wow." I whisper.
