A New World (Todoroki x OC)

Chapter 33 - Tomorrow

When Todoroki opens the door of the car for me, I step out and look at the familiar home that I always went to as a safe place.

The Todoroki household.

I hold on tighter to Tora, suddenly protective of the boy hoisted on my hip.

"So, you're sure they won't tell your father?" I ask.

He nods. "I'm sure. They know you enough and are too kind to break a promise."

I sigh before taking Shoto's extended hand. As we walk up to the door, it's opened before we even reach it. Out comes Fuyumi, arms open and a smile on her face.

"Natsumiiiii~" she exclaims. The girl embraces me and I hug her back, releasing Todoroki's hand. Then she looks at Tora, immediately adoring him. "Oh my gosh. He's so cute!" She exclaims, kissing him on the cheek. He giggles before burying his face in my shoulder, shy.

"Fuyumi, how've you been?" I ask. I still hace my coat and mask on, but she still recognized me.

"I've been great! Wow, you're so grown up. But hey, you guys should've used protection! Now Natsumi had to be on the run while pregnant!" She says to us. Todoroki blushes and looks away while I laugh.

"That was my fault. Sorry, Fuyumi." I say. "But it was no trouble, really. I had my brothers with me."

Her eyes widen. "Brothers?"

I chuckle, nodding. "I apparently have long lost brother. It's a long story. We should get inside, I don't want anyone seeing me."

"Oh yeah, of course." She says, shooing us inside. "Dad shouldn't be home until late."

We step inside and Fuyumi goes down the hall and into the eating room. I begin taking off my stuff after setting Tora down on the ground. "Dad?" He says, patting Todoroki's leg. Todoroki sits down to take off his shoes.

"Yeah?"

"Where... Are we?" He whispers secretly.

"We're at my house." He whispers back.

Tora gasps, putting his hand over his mouth dramatically. "Dad house?"

He laughs softly. "Yeah."

Tora is about to go after Fuyumi but I call him. "Tora. Take off your shoes, please."

"Take off... Shoes?" He says, coming back.

"Yeah." I reply. "You can't walk in the house with shoes."

"Otay, Mommy." He replies, sitting beside Todoroki to remove his shoes. As they finish up, I go to the dining place where Fuyumi had fixed up a bit, making it comfortable for us.

I sit down and she joins me. "So, was it hard avoiding all heroes when you went into hiding?"

I chuckle. "Not really. It wasn't until last year that they started spreading out their search into other countries."

"Oh, so you went overseas? Was it fun?" She asks.

I nod. "It was, yeah. Although, I was pretty devastated when I found out about Tora. I was planning to come back two years ago, but being pregnant kinda delayed that plan. And Tora growing up without knowing Todoroki in his younger years kinda scared me. But it turned out well."

She smiles, looking over as Todoroki comes in, holding Tora's hand. The little boy dashes over to me, climbing into my lap. Todoroki sits beside me and takes my hand.

"Shoto went through this depressed state when you left. With everyone looking for you, he didn't really come out of his room. He just studied for school and that was it. It wasn't until that time that I realized that you were pretty much the one person that really helped him out with this world. I guess you were his coping mechanism." They make eye contact and Todoroki becomes flustered.
