My One and Only: Endeavor x Black Reader

Chapter Eighteen: I Love You

Hiiiii! How are you? Hope all is well. This is a five year time skip. Happy reading!☺️
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Five years have passed. Not a word from Enji. We didn't see him for five years. Shoto and Natsuo didn't want their father around when they graduated from school. So much has happened in the past five years. I became depressed during my pregnancy. Natsu tried everything he could to make sure we were fine. He studied health and welfare and graduated with honors and became a doctor. I was hospitalized multiple times during my pregnancy due to stress. I then had postpartum depression. It was a hard battle. With the help of my children and Miruko, I had a strong support system. I made her the godmother. It took me a year to get over Enji. To fall out of love with him. It's taken two years for me to go on my healing journey. To focus on myself, my happiness and my inner peace. Touya proposed to Prescott who said yes. He left his father's agency right after we found out I was pregnant and started his own. He run it successfully with his siblings. Fuyumi and Natsu are now pro heroes as well as a doctor and a teacher. Fuyumi and Natsu met someone and I'm super happy for them. They all moved out except for Shoto. He's only twenty so I don't expect him to leave so soon. I haven't dated anyone. I prioritize my children. "Do we have to go to his wedding?" Touya whines. "Yes. He invited you all. Show him that you all are above that and there's no bad blood between you." I respond. "So why are you not going?" Touya challenges. "I..." I pick up my invitation. "Am taking this as a little me time. I love you kids but I need some mommy alone time." I reply as I use my flame quirk. I burn my invitation. "Can't believe he sent us invitations like he didn't abandon us all for five years. The audacity." Shoto says. "Just think about it as free food. And free cake. Free alcohol. Shoto don't go overboard now. Just because you're twenty, I don't want you to abuse the power of alcohol. You'll regret it." I warn. "We got him. He won't drink much." Fuyumi assured me as she come downstairs. "Come on. Family photo!" I say, grabbing my camera. They all get together. "You too Prescott." "O-Oh but I'm not family." "Yes you are now get in the photo." Prescott hurries over to stand next to Touya. Everyone smiled and I take multiple pictures as they make different poses. "Y'all look like supermodels." I hype up. "We get our good looks from you." "Thank you, thank you." I bow. I laugh. "Alright you all have fun. And for the love of god, no fighting." I glare at my boys. "They won't fight." Fuyumi says. "Right...?" She warns. "We won't. Don't bite our heads off." I hug them all. "Love ya. Never put anyone above ya." We say in unison. I kiss their cheeks. "Bye mommy!" "Bye babies." I blow a kiss at my twins. I start tidying up the house. I play music as I straighten up. It wasn't too bad but a deep clean and dusting takes about two hours. I wash my hands and walk downstairs. I grab a bag of chips and sit on the sofa. I turn the tv on. The first thing I see is a live report on Enji's wedding. It was getting close to the ceremony. Everyone was still arriving. "Nope." I say as I turn the channel. Every channel was reporting on it. Guess that's expected considering he's the number one hero. I turn the tv off and sigh. I get up and walk into Natsu's old room. I kept everything they had here the same for when they spend some time over. I pick up a random manga and walk downstairs. I sit on the couch. "My Hero Academia?" I read aloud. I sit cross legged and start reading as I eat chips. After about fifteen chapters, I put it down. "Damn this shit is depressing. Poor kid." I get up and put the empty chip bag in trash. I pour myself some wine. I grab the bottle, manga and head upstairs to my room. I run the bath water and get in. I dry my hands and continue the manga as I sip my wine. "You know what I wouldn't be surprised if this kid snaps and becomes a villain with an abusive father like that." I loudly say to myself. I keep reading. "Oh my god why is this kid so angry? How is he not a villain?" I finish my wine and keep reading. I was halfway through the manga when I realized the water was cold. My fingers and toes were wrinkly too. I put the manga down and get up. I wash myself and get out. I grab my glass and the manga, walking into my bed. I place them on the nightstand. I rub lotion on myself and get dressed. "Still as beautiful as ever." I hear. I turn around and scream. Enji was standing in my room, my door closed behind him. "Todoroki!" I scream. Then it hit me. "Todoroki what are you doing here? You're supposed to be at your wedding." "I love you Y/N. I'm in love with you." Enji confess. I snort. "Yeah and I'm the queen of England." I sarcastically say as I pour myself another glass of wine. "Y/N I'm serious." "And you're drunk." "We both know damn well I'm not drunk." I finish my wine. "So what the hell do you want?" I ask. "I want you." I snort again. "I kicked all of my kids out to have some me time and the main Todoroki comes in to fuck my day up. Great. Just great." "I fucked up. Big time. I truly am sorry. About everything. For leaving you. Leaving my family. Ruining your birthday. All of it. Marrying Rei would've been the biggest mistake of my life." "No marrying Rei would've been the best thing that ever happened to you." "No baby no." "Stop it! I am not your baby." "I'm sorry. I love her, I do. She's just not you. She's not really big on mental health. She didn't know how prioritize our mental health like you do. My love for her didn't feel right. She's an incredible woman don't get me wrong, I just...no longer see my future with her. She's perfect. But not for me. You are. I've been thinking about you non stop for the past five years. And it's taken me three to know why. That I've always been in love with you. I've never stopped loving you. I'm just a dumbass for never realizing it. Our parents are right. We are made for each other. Our children were right." I put the empty wine glass down. "I'm sorry did you think this little half assed apology speech and love confession was going to woo me over? That it's all water under the bridge now? Huh?!" I ask. "No Y/N I-" "Save it Endeavor. I don't want to hear any of it. No apologies or anything can make me love you again." "You don't love me?" "No. It took me one year to move on from you and two years to find my inner peace. But I'm not about to let you ruin that for me." "After twenty-seven years of loving me, you no longer do? Just like that?" Enji ask as he step closer to me. He pulls me close to him and kiss me. He trail kisses down to my neck. I push him off. "No. I don't. I've been through too much and have come too far to let you slither your way back to my life." I respond. "That little girl...she's mine, isn't she?" Enji changes the subject. He corners me into the wall and holds the fabric of my shirt, pulling on it. "She looks exactly like my mother. Glowing red hair and all." He continues. "And the boy? With white hair and red streaks?" "Biologically speaking, yes." "Why didn't you tell me?" "You didn't want any parts of me and my children. Of course you didn't want any more children by me." "No. Baby no. I would've came back. Straight home. I'm always going to be happy whenever you carry my children." I roll my eyes. "Move." I push him out of my way and sit down on my bed. I hunch over, hands in my face. "Why are you here?" I ask. "Because I love you." "Why tell me this now?" "I was afraid." Enji removes my hands. He was squatting down in front of me. "I have been waiting for a sign. Any sign for me to come back home. Any reason to come back home. Any excuse. I never got one. And today...I finally worked up the courage to use my love for you as my reason to come home." "Bullshit!" I scream in his face. "I know you don't believe me right now, but I hope some day you will." I hear footsteps coming up the stairs. "Mom you won't believe this. That bastard got cold feet and abandoned her at the alter." Touya announces followed by laughter. Enji walks to my door and open it. I jump up and rush to the door. "You!" Was all Natsuo said before grabbing his father out of my room and punching him. He toss his father to the ground and starts hitting him. "Natsuo!" I scold. "Beat his ass Natsu!" Touya encourages. Fuyumi watch. She doesn't try to interfere and keep the peace like she always do. Shoto doesn't say anything either. I pull him off his father. "Why is he here? Did you take him back? Huh? Mama he hurt you. He abandoned all of us." He asks, towering over me. "No! I didn't take him back. But I need you to calm down. Pounding on him won't solve anything. And your siblings don't need to see this." Fuyumi picks up Isamu and I pick up Vikhyati. "So why are you taking his side?!" "Fist of all, I'm going to need you to take that tone all the way down with me...Natsuo Amenadiel Todoroki, do I make myself clear?" His chest was heaving. He let out a sigh. "Yes mama." I cup his face in my hand and smile. "Good. I would never do anything without consulting you all first." Natsu nods. I look at Enji. "Now you've done it. The most level headed son just lost his cool. Are you happy now Enji? Huh?" Enji stands, wiping his mouth. "Please tell me...do I have a chance with you?" "Not in this life. Not in the afterlife. Not even if we're reincarnated." I throw back in his face. Five years I've been wanting to say that. I always planned out what I wanted to say to his face but I made peace with it and moved on. "I deserve that." "I need you to get out. And never step a foot back here again. We're all thriving without you. My kids don't need you and I damn sure don't need you." "I'm not giving up on you. I'll make it up to you all even on my dying breath." Enji say before walking downstairs. I hear the front door close seconds later. "Are you mad at me?" Natsu asks. "Come on Fuyumi. Let's put them down for a nap." I walk into my room and place Vikhyati in my bed. I undress her and place the blanket over her. Fuyumi did the same with Isamu. "Mama I'm sorry." I kiss their foreheads. I turn to Natsuo. "Say something. Please!" There were tears in his eyes. I sit on my bed. I motion for him to come closer. Natsu walks and drop to his knees. "I'm sorry." He cries. I pull him into my arms. "Shhh..." I stroke his hair. "I'm not mad. You did nothing wrong." I calmly said. "I-I was just so scared you've taken him back. And the sight of him...pissed me off." "I know baby. I didn't want him here either. But this is your house. You have every right to protect everything and everyone in it. I can never fault you for that." Natsu squeeze my waist tighter. I rub his back in circles. "He doesn't deserve you. He doesn't know what he put you through. What he put us all through. Did he think he can just waltz on in and we pretend like nothing happened? He doesn't know that you, Isamu and Vikky all died!" Hearing Natsuo pour his heart out is breaking my heart. "I know. But look at me." Natsu kept crying. "Natsuo Amenadiel Todoroki, I need you to look at me." Natsu pulls away and looks at me. He sniffs. "We are right here. We are alive and we are not going anywhere okay? I promise you nothing and I mean nothing can take us away from you all okay?" I say as I wipe his tears. He wipes his face with the sleeve of his tuxedo sleeve and nods. I hug him tightly again. "I love you baby. I always will. Don't ever forget that." "I love you too mama." I pull away and kiss his forehead. "Now, go take a bath. Then do some meditation and yoga." I instruct. He nods and gets up. He leaves out. "So he finally broke down huh?" Touya asks. Touya, Fuyumi and Shoto were standing at in my doorway. I nod. "I knew this day would come. I didn't have a vision on it but I felt it in my bones." "It's surprising because he was calm during the brief wedding. Guess seeing him in the same room with you, triggered it." "Listen I was surprised just as you all are. I just had a bath and was reading one of Natsu's manga. And he was just right there." I get up. "Come on. Let's let them sleep." We all head downstairs. "You know I tracked him here. But I thought I was wrong." Shoto brings up. "Never doubt your tracking skills. I think I need to sharpen mine. Well there goes my peaceful alone time. He ruined it. Proclaiming his 'love for me' and more lies." I sigh. "We'll leave." Fuyumi suggests. "Please. You guys leaving will break my heart. It's not like I see y'all every day. I miss y'all living here." "I still live here." Shoto pipes in. I laugh. "I know. And you better not leave me no time soon." I say as I kiss his cheek repeatedly. "I'm not, I'm not." "I don't think daddy was lying about his love for you." Fuyumi says. "She's right. His brief wedding went viral. Here's why." Touya gives me his phone. I sit on the couch. "I don't wanna see this." I groan. "Just watch it." He press on. I watch it. "She wanted an American style wedding." "Clearly." I scuff. "I Enji Isamu Todoroki take the Y/N-" everyone gasps. My jaw drops. I blink repeatedly. Touya laughs. "And that's when he got cold feet." Shoto points out. "I'm sorry but I can't do this." Just like that, Enji takes off. "I still feel bad for Rei. To have the love of your life say someone else's name to your face. In front of everyone. On her special day." Fuyumi says. "I feel bad for her too. I know she feels embarrassed. Still..." I hand Touya's phone over. "That's not enough to make me get back with him. Or start over with him." I get up. "What do you all want for lunch?" I ask. They shrug. "Well we'll figure it out when the twins wake up. And Natsu calms down. In the meantime, let's watch a movie." We pile onto the sofa. I turn the tv on and everyone was talking about Enji leaving the alter. "Nope." I say once again. A horror movie was on. I settled for it and we watched it.
