Make The Best Out Of It, A Dabihawks Story

16; Level Head

Obviously the gasp was Rei's, the other's had already seen Dabi/Toya so they wouldn't have been surprised. Rei stood trembling in the door way, tears filling her eyes. She knew who Dabi was, that was evidence of that reaction. Good that spared time on explaining everything.

 Toya awkwardly scratched the back of his neck. "Hey."
I scoffed quietly not saying anything else about it, he hadn't seen her in years and the first thing he says to her is 'Hey'.

"My boy." Rei said, her voice trembled. She reached her hands up to her son's face. Next to Toya, she looked small and frail, and that says a lot because Toya himself is pretty scrawny.
Touya leaned down his head slightly and let her touch his scars.

 "What happened?" she whispered, as she softly ran her thumb over the one underneath his eyes. Toya grabbed her wrist softly, not to push her away, just to hold her. She smiled through her tears when she realised something, "Now i get why you went to get me yesterday." She said to me as she directed her eyes to me, "You're a couple right?" she asked, I nodded.

"That's wonderful," she said and she let us in. I didn't really understand why she left the big elephant in the room for what it was, wasn't she aching to ask where he had been, why Toya had left? She walked through the house like she had never left. Rei looked peaceful like this, back where she belonged without Endeavour. She led us to the dining room where we sat at the table as she left to go to the kitchen to make some tea. 

"Yo." Fuyumi greeted as she walked into room and sat down next to Dabi.

 "Have you told her about the plan about your trial tomorrow yet?" Fuyumi whispered loudly enough for me to still hear it but quietly enough so Rei wouldn't hear it, even though she was in a different room it was never bad to be careful enough. Touya shook his head. "I couldn't bring myself to tell her just as she first saw me." he replied, Fuyumi nodded understandingly. "I get it but we're with you." she said.

Rei walked into the room again with a tray in her hands. "Fuyu i knew you'd join us, I've got some tea for you too." she said warmly. "Thanks ma." Rei sat down next to me after she put the tray on the table. Everyone reached for a cup at the same time. "How have you been Mom?" Toya decided to dosmall talk. "I've been good, really good now im back, was it your doing?"

Toya nodded, "Sorta, Keigo helped too. We convinced Enji to let you out." Touya said, he pronounced his father name bitterly and Fuyumi winced quietly upon hearing the name being said like that. Rei didn't react in anyway except for sternly saying.

"Toya please have some more respect towards your father." Touya scoffed but didn't argue.

"What are you gonna do now?" Rei asked, Toya shrugged.

 "Just tell her." i said to Toya, she looked between us. Toya sighed and started explaining about the trial. 

She nodded, "I get it, but you'll be out eventually, right?"
Dabi nodded, and he looked at me. She was right, he'll eventually get out, a free man but i hated the idea of being parted from him again.

"Mom! I'm home." Shoto's voice came from the corridor and he continued, "I brought someone with." 

 Toya and i shared a looked but it was to late. Shoto entered with a green haired boy behind him, i recognized the kid from the sport festivals-- which i had watched to search for an intern-- he was the one whose quirk broke his own arms, Izumi Mikasa or whatever his name was. I hadn't really bothered remembering his name, he hadn't been that interesting to me anyway. 

"Oh, i didn't know you'd be here." Shoto said to Toya as the green haired boy took a step back fiercely. "It's okay Midoriya, he's my brother." Right, Midoriya, that was the name.
