『ARC THREE: AGENCIES AND CRYSTALS』

✧ ▬▭▬ ▬▭▬ ✦✧✦ ▬▭▬ ▬▭▬ ✧

When Teshigahara said that they were going to go on a 'field trip', Akihiko assumed that they were going to go somewhere borderline illegal. He did not know why his mind directly went to that exactly because the woman was still a Pro Hero under Kohei's command and she would not do anything that extreme with him at least. But he did not put the idea above her. Teshigahara seemed like the type of person to gamble or drink underage for fun.

She was twenty-one and she did have the ability to do most things that were borderline illegal. With her status as a Pro, a lot of things could be snuck under the rug. Just like how Tomohiro skipped over a lot of necessary things concerning their adoption and how many years his birth parents were sentenced to jail. Pro Heroes, especially ones that were popular and good, had a lot of power and control. They can just pull a few strings and everything will go their way.

He could not even count the number of times Tomohiro had used his status to his advantage. He can still remember how their adoption process was much, much shorter than most kids.

For a moment, five-year-old Akihiko's brain blanked at the words the man in front of him spoke. The only thing that broke him out of his disbelief was the tight squeeze of Tanami's small fingers around his own. Warmth radiated from the young girl's hand as her breath was lodged deep within her throat. Two pairs of wide-eyed periwinkle eyes connected before returning their full, undivided attention to the adult kneeling in front of them.

With exhausted but relieved white eyes peering down on their small bodies, the edges of the man's lips tilted upward into a soft smile. "As of this day forth, I am your guardian, your father if you want it that way. Your names are now Akihiko and Tanami Mochizuki rather than Akihiko and Tanami Yama."

"M-mochi-" Tanami's eyebrows came together as she tried to string together the right letters for the word. "M-mochesuki?"

The man's nose wrinkled. "...good enough. I'm Tomohiro Mochizuki, you can call me Tomo if you prefer. I'm also the Pro Hero Inscribe but that does not matter at the moment."

Tomohiro tilted his head slightly, observing the movements of the twins. They were attached at the hip, still squished together even if he was squatted down and the only other person in the room beside the two. Akihiko clutched Tanami's hand in suspicion and slowly placed himself in front of his sister.

In all honesty, Akihiko was not fully convinced. His young brain was forced to be in a state of high alert and from his experience, adults were not to be trusted. Vague snapshots of his mother and father's kind smiles and warm hands were quickly destroyed by harsh words and the strong stench of alcohol. They were nice at first but that did not last once the twins received their Quirks, they were no longer so kind.
