Expect the Unexpected: Mei Hatsume x reader (BOOK 2)

Chapter 16: The Hellish Todoroki Household

The five of you showed up at the Todoroki household, all nervous and reluctant.

Fuyumi opened the door to lead you all inside, smiling with excitement as she saw all of you. The girl was brimming with joy, glad you'd all been able to make it.

"Hi," you greeted awkwardly. "Shirakumo Y/N, I'm Todoroki-San's friend."

"Very specific," Bakugo snickered.

"They know which Todoroki I mean, fuck off," you hissed. "This one's Bakugo Katsuki, he's rabid."

"I'm Midoriya Izuku!" Midoriya greeted, grinning brightly.

"And I'm hungry," Shoto sighed, pushing his way past you to the table.

The three of you nodded, following the boy to where a white haired boy was sat. He was a few years older than you it seemed, white spiky hair and chubby cheeks reminding you much of Kirishima.

"Natsuo, pleasure to meet you three," he nodded, though the smile was seemingly forced.

"Shirakumo Y/N," you introduced yourself, allowing the other two to do the same.

"I've heard a lot about you three," Natsuo snickered, remembering the rants his father would go on, complaining about the incompetence of this year's interns.

You smiled softly in response, taking a seat next to Bakugo. Both Shoto and Natsuo sat farthest away from their father, who was sat at the head of the table. Fuyumi and you sat on either side of Endeavour with Bakugo and Midoriya inbetween you and Shoto.

There was delicious Mapa Tofu and Cold Soba prepared with a bunch of toppings, all which smelled like heaven. Once everyone had sat down, you tucked in, the flavour being even better than the smell.

"This tastes amazing," you commented, still in awe.

"Fuyumi-nee does most of the cooking ever since our maid hurt her back," Natsuo grinned. "Amazing, right?"

"You're too humble Natsu-kun," Fuyumi smiled softly, before turning to you. "He did some cooking as well and helped a lot in the kitchen."

Shoto looked up in surprise at that, however Endeavour looked down.

"Only a few times," the boy shrugged, slurping his Soba. "Dad made me stop after I overseasoned the food once."

All heads turned in Endeavour's direction briefly, as the tension took over the lighthearted mood at the table.

Natsuo finished first and headed out, unable to be in the room. Midoriya glanced at you, silently holding a conversation both with you and Bakugo.

Bakugo and Midoriya could read each other's glances because of their long childhood together, making communication easier, however you could only read them because you'd taught yourself how to read eyes and signals people gave.

'Air Head knows about the half-and-half bastard's classic protagonist backstory?'

'Yes? What're you gonna do about it, cry?'

'I just asked if we could already clean up, I didn't ask for the two of you to fight silently.'

'Shut up Deku.'

'I'm just saying, the way you're staring at each other makes it seem like there's sexual tension.'

That was all that it took for you to break eye contact, as you tried to hold back laughter while Midoriya slurped his Soba, giving Bakugo a side glance.

"Well, we're done, so we'll already clean up and let you sort things out," Midoriya awkwardly excused himself, picking up the plates as the three of you walked out, leaving the remaining Todorokis in the room.
