'Hey, Kai?'

'Yeah, what's going on?'

'Y'know how... My sisters... Because of my Mom's quirk?'

'Didn't they... How do I put this, *do away with themselves?'

'Yeah.' Hari whispered. 'Well... Kai my mother did the same thing. She was the only family I had and now I'm the last of my family bloodline. Kai, you're all I have.'

Kai stared at him, 'She did?'

'Yes... Kai,' He held out his hand, 'We'll always be together, right? Pinky promise?'

Kai held his hand out the same way Hari did, with his pinky extended. Intertwining them, 'I promise.'

Izo held Kai's hand and brought him to sit down. 'Now, you two,' She gestured to Hari and Kai, 'Tell me everything.'

'Wait, you're not at all weirded out that I'm gay?' Kai asked.

'No, not at all, your mother was two dear god her first partner was a woman, they had sex, and she despised your father. Besides, remember, it's me who painted your nails every week and bought you makeup.'

Kai inhaled sharply and covered his face, quite obviously embarrassed. '*Angel you wear makeup?'

'Wore. And you say that like you didn't.' Kai hissed.

'Okay, I wore makeup and a wore it like a fucking boss, alright? I looked amazing.'

'I'm sure you did now spill! I have so many questions! How'd you two meet?' Izo rushed.

'Well, how did we meet? I guess it was when we bumped into each other on my first day of school.' Kai looked to Hari.

'Yeah, we did. And y'know I was super flattered when Manticore said I was the first person with silver eyes you weren't scared of.'

'Then you'll be more flattered to hear that you were the first person I wasn't scared of period.'

'Oh cool! I... Think? Are you okay?'

'No, but you learn to live with it.'

'Fair enough.'

'When did you two start dating?'

'Two years after we met.' Hari answered.

'And you married how many months ago?'

'Three..?' Kai, once again looked to Hari.

'That's right, good job Angel.'

'Papa, Papi, who's that? And why does she look like Papa?'

Izo looked behind her and gasped, then snapped her head back to Kai, 'Traitor how dare you not tell me you have a child!' She got up and ran to her, which impressed Amira, she was wearing very high heels. 'And she's adorable! Hi, there sweetheart, I'm Izo Chisaki, your Papa's grandmother, and now your Papi's Mother-In-Law.' She squealed.

'You are?' Eri smiled.

'That's right I am what's your name *Koibito?'

'I'm Eri!'

'She was the girl we...' Kai trailed off.

'Oh, well if it makes you feel better Kai had to go through the same thing only for twelve years instead of two months.' Izo tried.

Eri looked confused, 'Why would that make me feel better?'

'Fair enough.' She said and picked her up. 'Well, if that doesn't make you feel better, it should make you feel better to know that the main reason he stayed for so long was because he wanted to keep you safe.'

'See now that's a better way to put it.'

'Like your better Kai?'

'Fair enough.'
