UA-

You lay on your bed, Hoshiko at your side when your father comes through the door with Iida behind him.

Iida: You have a few minutes, I guess, I hope you know what strings I had to pull for this.

Suneater: Thank you.

He turns to face you as Iida leaves.

Y/N: Dad? What's up?

Suneater: Hey... so, again-

Y/N: I know.

Suneater: I... kinda expected you to...

Y/N: Be mad? I can see how you might think that. But I've been doing okay... somewhat.

Suneater: Can I help?

Y/N: Sure...

He sits on your bed, it pushes you up against Hoshiko's sleeping body.

Y/N: Well, there's been this voice...

Suneater: Alright... and what is it saying?

Y/N: Some shit about reserved kindness.

Suneater: As far as your mother tells me, you're really kind to almost everyone.

Y/N: Well, since coming here... it's been a bit different... I've even put a kid up against the wall for talking shit.

Suneater: About her?

He points to the sleeping girl in your bed, curled up near you.

Y/N: Yeah.

Suneater: Okay... so, this voice thinks you're only nice to her.

Y/N: To be precise, the voice of that Makihara kid you saw at the festival.

Suneater: Shit... so I'm guessing you reciprocated what he showed you and her.

Y/N: And... he made a change... then he got himself killed before I could tell him I noticed.

Suneater: Shit. So his old ideas have stayed in your mind?

Y/N: Sure have. I even had a talk with Hoshiko about her being... well..

Suneater: Clingy?

Y/N: Yeah.

You sighed as you said.

Suneater: There's no shame in a clingy girlfriend. Anyway, she's got reasons, ones you're helping her with. I want to say it'll be alright, but you won't believe me.

Y/N: But will it be?

Suneater: Only because you are actually trying to fix it.

Y/N: Well, I have.

Suneater: You're making her less dependent on you, she's going to actually be able to get somewhere or make a decision without you.

Y/N: Then I'll be that nice guy you heard about, knowing that she'll be able to deal with anything that comes her way. It'll take a while, but... I think I can do it.

Suneater: She'll never be fully free of what he did to her, trust me. All you can do is try.

Y/N: I guess...

Suneater: It'll be bearable, I think you can pull it off.

Y/N: Thanks dad.

Suneater: All good. Anyways, you wanna do something, go somewhere with your pa?

Y/N: I'll take you up on that. You really trying to make up for it, aren't you?

Suneater: You'll understand when you have... if you have kids of your own... that...

His head goes down as he sighs.

Suneater: What would I know?

Y/N: Time you spend with em is important? You can't change the past. Focus on making a better future for us.

Suneater: I know... it just...

Y/N: Hurts? Look, I know that had you known sooner, you would have come running.

Suneater: Yeah...

Y/N: It'll be alright. You're gonna make up for it all.

Hoshiko stirs a little and moves onto you, snuggling your leg.

So cute.

Suneater: But yeah, I should get going now... I mean... you're all grown up anyway.

Y/N: Dad. You're trying. Let's get some ice cream or go to an arcade somewhere, don't give up, you're doing great.

Suneater: Thanks kid. Means a lot to me. I'll get out now, anyways, good talk.

He stands up, and nods weakly with a deep breath, he walks out and leaves you with Hoshiko.

Over the next few days, you had arranged to meet with each other, getting ice cream and going to an arcade.

Y/N: You're doing great dad.

Suneater: That's good.

You both ate on a park bench, with your father trying to start some sort of conversation.

Suneater: So... umm... what have you been doing in my absence?

Y/N: Usual training to be a hero shit, you know, normal shit.

Suneater: Right... that.

Y/N: Don't worry so much. How's mum been treating you?

Suneater: Yeah... it's a bit... umm... I don't know how to explain it, but... look, there's food, shelter and yeah. Y'know.

Y/N: Well, it's an improvement since last time.

Suneater: I'll say... so... do you... hate me for... leaving you, all these years?

Y/N: It was a bit disappointing... but hey, whatever. We're here now, are we not?

Suneater: Yeah... I guess we are.

Y/N: Hey. Let's talk about something else. So... Dynamight... lost his quirk...

Suneater: Yeah. That sucks... we really lost a good fighter.

Y/N: True. Good thing is... with Overhaul dead and Shigaraki and Kurogiri on the run, Midas on our side, None For All is kinda on his own.

Suneater: Is there really anyone who can take him on though?

Y/N: Deku was able to pull it off, as long as None For All can't get a Nomu factory up, the fight is as good as ours.

Suneater: If it is one thing that None For All knows though, it's how to fly under the radar.

Y/N: Exactly... hey... you know the old Nomu factory? It has all the equipment... why not scout there?

Suneater: Actually... good idea... I'll send a team in.

Y/N: How about we do it together? Like... now.

Suneater: You? Against None For All? You'd never survive. You're good... but he took out two top heroes easily.

Y/N: According to reports... it was really some Nomu called Ruin and the other Nomu that did it.

Suneater: Some Nomu called Ruin? Did you see the picture? That one fit the description of the one you fought.

Y/N: There was really no time for introductions.

Suneater: Fair... so, we'll go somewhere, get jelly somewhere... and maybe we could sneak in somewhere.

Y/N: Oh... silent step... so, Nomu factory?

Suneater: Fine.
