The internship program ends, boy, did you get a lot out of it, you were going back for sure. Not now, you had Hoshiko to get back to, surely without you there, she'd had all sorts of nightmares.

The only thing on your mind, find Hoshiko, tell her she's safe.

You find her at your normal hangout place, her waving wildly towards you.

You open your arms and run towards her, she does the same. You meet in the middle, you pick her up, showering her in kisses.

Y/N: Looks like you had fun. Didn't need me at all.

Hoshiko: Hey, I need you, don't go. Please.

Y/N: Hoshiko. I'm not going anywhere, I'm just joking, and little bit of teasing.

Hoshiko: Okay. Please don't go.

She hugs you tight, planting her face in your chest.

Y/N: It's okay. I'm not going anywhere. Also, my dad told me a little poem that he made when my mum ran off, when he denied her. And then felt bad.

Hoshiko: Really?

Y/N: Yeah. I adapted it. You wanna hear it?

Hoshiko: Yeah.

Y/N: Okay, so my version goes like, look to these arms and find your place, with these around you, I'll make you feel safe.

Hoshiko: That's so cool. Also, you know Eri?

Y/N: Yeah?

Hoshiko: She got kidnapped, but it's okay, she got rescued. Now there's a pro hero protecting her.

Y/N: Who?

Hoshiko: Don't know.

You see her tense up, but her shoulders fall back down and her arm muscles go back to where they'd normally be.

Y/N: Old habits die hard, huh?

Hoshiko: Yeah.

She puts one foot behind the other, one arm stroking the other with her head down.

Hoshiko: I don't know why. Because, like I love you and you make me feel ways that I don't understand, and you've never hurt me. And you beat yourself whenever you think of something that would make me sad. Why can't I relax? You never hurt me. Why? Why Y/N?

Y/N: You've been fending for yourself for so long, your instinct tells you that I'm no different.

Hoshiko: I swear. I love you. Do you think there's a part of me that doesn't?

Y/N: I believe it. I love you too. There's just something inside you that wants to let you down easy if I were ever to do anything.

Hoshiko: But I know you won't.

Y/N: That's just how our body works, sure we think one thing, but our body's instinct causes our body to do something else.

Hoshiko: I hate it. It's bullshit. I just wanna relax with you.

Y/N: It's fine. You've not known relax before. I don't expect you to understand it in four weeks. It's okay. You've already come leaps and bounds in understanding that. Okay. You wanna go get something to drink?

Hoshiko: Is this how often people should say that?

Y/N: What?

Hoshiko: It's okay, it's alright, you know, stuff like that.

You hold her closer.

Y/N: My baby girl, am I the first to say that to you?

Hoshiko: Umm, I think someone at the orphanage or something. I can't remember though.

Y/N: Yes. Good people always say that to someone who wronged them with a slight inconvenience. You know?

Hoshiko: Not sure. I think I get it. After all, you're a good person.

You hear your mother's voice.

Nejire: Y/N! How you doing?

She skips over to you. Hoshiko holds you away from Nejire, with a fierce look in her face. Ready to fight.

Y/N: Hoshiko. It's okay, that's my mother.

You can almost hear her heart sink. She hides behind you, almost crying.

Y/N: Hoshiko. Come say hi. Please. For me?

Hoshiko refuses to come up from behind your legs.

Y/N: That's my girlfriend. She's okay once you get to know her. She's had it rough.

Nejire: Oh I can imagine, I mean having to-

You wave your hands all around your face, the motions pleading with your mother to not utter a word of her father.

Y/N: I told her you had a rough life.

Nejire: Wow, that's rough, you know, that villain Overhaul got turned into a ten year old?

Hoshiko: What?

Nejire: Eri reversed him, and now he's practically ten years old.

Hoshiko: Wait. So...

She gasps and cries into your back. (The realisation that he got his hands back.) You turn around and sit down. She starts to hyperventilate.

Y/N: Hoshiko. Everything is going to be okay, I'm here. Remember what I said, look to these arms, find your place, with these around you I'll make you feel safe.

Nejire: Hold on, I recognise that poem.

Y/N: Change safe to great and yeah, you should.

Nejire: Is that the lame ass bullshit that actually worked cos I really wanted Tamaki's um-does she know-umm?

Y/N: Not sure. She's innocent enough not to know but at the same time...

Hoshiko: I do know what you're talking about, and no. It was one of the few, few things that never happened to me.

Y/N: I imagine that's a long while away. I can wait.

Nejire: So, you're Y/N's wife. So, you're the dau-(ghter of a villain?)

You cover her mouth with your hand and sternly shake your head. You bring the hand away and put your hand over your own, bring the hand forward, slowly moving your fingertips in, indicating a beak.

She mouths the word 'Overhaul?'

You nod.

Nejire: Oh, so that's why she got so scared.

Y/N: Anyways, why did you get sent here?

Nejire: Crap. I'm supposed to be protecting Eri.

She says quickly, before running off. She is grabbed by the collar of her casual shirt, by the horned third year herself.

Eri: Here. The. Whole. Time.

She says calmly while spinning Nejire back around to sit next to you.

You wipe the remaining tears from Hoshiko's face, kissing her as you do.

Nejire: You guys are so cute together. You two have my blessing, when you're ready of course.
