"I'm home!" Enji called as he entered the Todoroki residence.
"Daddy!" Fuyumi shouted as she ran over to her dad excitedly.
Enji picked up his daughter, swinging her in midair as she giggled. "How are you, princess?"
"Good!" Fuyumi replied as she got placed back on the floor.
"You're late," Rei said, walking over to her husband and giving him a quick peck on the cheek.
"Yeah, you would think the weekends would be a little calmer, but no. Toshinori and I got called after we just resolved a situation. And then I managed to stumble into a robbery on the way home."
"Yikes, you need to take a break, dear."
"I wish I had some vacation hours. I need to spend a little more time with you and the kids.... Speaking of kids, where's the other three?"
"Touya's with Natsuo doing who knows what. Shoto... um, well... Shoto's grounded."
Enji snorted. "Again?"
"Yup. World's most troublesome four-year-old."
"What did he do this time?"
"... He set his sandwich on fire."
"He set his sandwich on fi-" Enji doubled over and wheezed in laughter.
"I told him that he wasn't allowed to have snacks for lunch, so if he wanted a cookie, he had to eat his sandwich first. His solution was to unexist the sandwich so I wouldn't know. Unfortunately for him, the smell of a ham sandwich on fire and the fire alarm screaming gave him away. He's now in the guest room with the option of taking a nap or reading a booklet on quirk abuse laws and regulations."
"On the plus side, he's probably gonna ace the written portion of U.A.'s entrance exam."
"I did pick up a neat little exam prep book for the next time he acts up."
"He sets it on fire."
"... I would disown that child. He's gonna be solely your responsibility."
"What? Why me?"
"Because he takes after you."
"What do you meaaan?"
"The two children with ice quirks have yet to cause significant property damage. In fact, Fuyumi hasn't even gotten in trouble once minus the one time she got stuck under the couch which was Touya's idea. The two children with fire quirks have set countless things on fire and have sworn to break every rule that has dared to exist. I think I sense some sort of pattern."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Technically, Shoto's half an ice quirk child too."
"He sure doesn't act like it," Rei retorted with a laugh.
"Man, and that kid's only four.... Oh my god, when he turns into a teenager...." Enji looked slightly horrified at the thought.
"I'm pleased to remind you that four was your idea," Rei teased.
"Well, you went along with it. I'm pretty sure I couldn't have popped Shoto into existence by myself."
"He's got my ice and good looks, and that's it."
"They all got your good looks."
"Mmm, sweet talker."
Enji wrapped his arms around Rei's waist, the latter leaning into his chest. The couple shared a brief moment of bliss before it was quickly interrupted.
