Problematic kitten

Chapter 34

Family room upstairs

Aizawa rise Usagi in his lap and hug her tightly. She wrap her arms around his neck and mumble I'm sorry over and over again. Yamada stare shocked at them. "Shh... Everything is fine. You are safe. We are not mad at you. Everything is fine." He murmur in her ear. She shake her head as disagreement. "It is not. I shouldn't have worried you. I'm selfish, idiotic, t-" "Usagi." His command cut her off but she didn't dare to move from her spot. 

Aizawa sigh and squeeze her little tighter for a moment. "Yes we were worried. Yes we were even scared for you. It doesn't mean you are selfish. You saved Ingenium and who knows how many more by stopping Stein. Yes some of your decision were idiotic but it doesn't mean you are an idiot. You find a way to win and used it. It still squeeze my heart to know what you are willing to do for others but it doesn't lessen worth of your actions. You are brave, talent and skillful kid, who will be extraordinary hero someday if you wish so." 

Strangled sob escape from Usagi's chest and she squeeze him little harder. "You really think so?" She murmur after a moment. "I do kid, I do." Aizawa promise. She pull back from his shoulder to look at him and smile hesitantly. "I'm sorry." "Enough apologies." He answer and use his sleeve to dry her cheeks. 

Yamada has walk next to them and Usagi grab his sleeve. "I'm sorry." She apologize from him too. "Like Shota says, enough apologies. We might be worried but still proud of what you did today." He answer with gentle smile. She smile a little and hug Aizawa quickly one more time before sliding to floor to hug Yamada. "Thank you." She murmur in his chest before taking a step back and looking at them with little smile. "Food?" She ask and Yamada immediately usher them all on table.

After dinner they go to upstairs family room. They let Usagi choose a movie. She stare at her guardians(/fathers) in shock for a moment until happy smile spread to her lips. She choose How To Train Your Dragon, she hasn't seen it in years, and flop between two male. They share a look, Yamada with wide smile and Aizawa with little happy one. She hasn't even realized how much she yearn for human contact until last couple days. She has decided to just go with it.

Usagi stare at the screen carefully. This TV's screen quality is so much better than her old house's that she can see colors she never thought there would be. She occasionally grin widely to the men who smile softly as answer, clearly enjoying her behavior. For once she behaved like a kid, not like scared, abused animal. After the movie, she even hugged both of them before going in her room to sleep. Male share hopeful smile, maybe she will get out of her shell faster than they thought.

After two more days, on Sunday, Usagi insisted that she make a dinner. She didn't let Yamada or Aizawa to help her at all. She hum quietly while she move around the kitchen. She has decided to make gyozas and yakisobas with fluffy pancakes as desert. She hasn't been able to cook properly in a long time and want to do this properly all by herself. They might not want her thanks but she can always cook as a sign of her gratitude. They have after all bought her new clothes, phone, shoes and other stuff she will need as well as secured her spot as Recovery Girls apprentice, she also start some courses alongside hero course! Her future hasn't been this bright ever before.

Usagi see how Yamada and Aizawa occasionally, one at each time, check on her in kitchen. She shoo them away everytime. It soon start to amuse the men and she can hear their laughs from living room. It only made her smile more. 

Finally she is ready, she has set the table, put everything ready and everything look and taste good. "Okay, dinnertime!" She call and soon men walk in kitchen. They freeze when they see what she has done. She grin proudly and walk to them. "Come on, before it goes cold." She laugh, grab their hands and pull them to table. She sit on middle so he can serve if necessary. "You did all this?" Aizawa ask taken aback. "Yes, not everyone are hopeless in kitchen." She tease and Yamada laugh. "Witty one." He grin proudly while Aizawa sigh and roll his eyes as answer. She giggle and smile to both of them. Soon Aizawa start to smile a little too. "Lets taste these then, shall we?"

They chat comfortably about next week schedule and what Usagi should expect to happen when she join the class 1A. "I'm not going to give you any special treatment, Usagi."  "I know dad." She sigh and roll her eyes as answer. He freeze but she didn't notice, she has turned toward Yamada. "Can you pass the soy sauce daddy?" She ask. Nothing happen. She frown and glance at both of them.

Usagi realize what she has said and slam a hand over her mouth. She didn't meant to say those aloud, she has just become so relaxed that names slipped. "Dad?" Aizawa whisper at the same time as Yamada whisper "Daddy?" She slowly lower her hand and smile unsure. "Yeah... Can I... call you like... that?" She ask quietly and little scared. "Can you call us? Of course you can! I'm gladly your daddy!" Yamada beam and jump to hug her tightly.

Usagi start to smile and hug Yamada back before turning to look at Aizawa who hasn't said anything yet. She frown worried when she see tears sliding down his cheeks. She immediately break free from the hug and jump to her feet. "I'm sorry, I didn't meant to hurt you!" She apologize and move to grab his hand on table but stop just above it. "Hurt me?" Aizawa ask unbelieving his ears. "You just made me happiest man on Earth, kid." He continue with gruff voice and pull her in tight hug too. "Nothing make me happier than be able to be your dad." He whisper in her ear and she happily and relieved hug him back.

Yamada join in their hug, hugging them both same time. "We are your family. Of course you can call us like you want and see fit." He murmur with strangled voice. Tears come in Usagi's eyes too. "I'm truly home." She sob and men squeeze her harder as answer.
