Fire, Ice, and Desire (Endeavor/Enji Todoroki)

Chapter 5: Secrets

*Angelina*

After Toshinori scolded me for my late arrival we made our way out of the house for the Pro meeting. I managed to shower, do my hair, slip some makeup on, and get dressed while he was outside. We ate a granola bar and a banana in the car in silence.

"I don't know, he seems familiar to me. But he couldn't be who I thought he was." Toshinori started mumbling about 'the bumbling jackass'. I knew we had the same thoughts. He was built so similar to Endeavor, but I agreed with him. Endeavor was angry all of the time, never as gentle or as funny as Enji.

"I know, I thought the same thing at first. Especially since he lives in the same building as Nemuri and Aizawa." I shrugged, "But I know some other officials live there as well."

"That is odd. Aizawa mentioned you two were quite scandalous outside of the bar?" He scowled at me, making me laugh.

"Toshi, I was just kissing him. Scandalous didn't occur until we-" He put a hand over my mouth.

"I don't need to hear that, Angel. You're still a kid in my head. That man is definitely far older than you." He scowled again. "Why didn't you tell me he was twice your age?" Enji must have told him.

"I didn't know until last night. It's not that big of a deal anyways, it's not like he's taking advantage of me. I practically had to beg him to-" the hand returned to my lips. I poked my tongue out, making him withdraw his hand to wipe my saliva on his pant leg.

"Gross, Angel." He shook his head, focusing on the road. The rest of the ride was silent until he brought up the topic I had avoided. "When we're you going to tell me you had slept with my friend?"

"I had a one night stand years ago. I was basically a kid. No older than most of your students. It's not like it happened last week." I huffed, looking out the window so I could avoid eye contact.

"He doesn't feel like it was years ago. He sounded a lot like you two had something going on."

"No. I flirted with him when I moved here, testing the waters. He didn't pursue me so I dropped it. It's not my fault he decided to regret that choice as soon as I moved on."

"Good point, if he gives you anymore trouble I'll take care of it." Toshinori patted my shoulder, smiling warmly. "I love you, kid. I wouldn't settle down with anyone in this condition, but I will always protect you. You're the closest thing to family that I have, okay?"

"I know, Toshi. I love you, too. Other than Cassie you're all I have, too." I sighed in relief as we made it to the meeting. Endeavor and Aizawa were in a heated argument outside as we approached. Press were standing around snapping photos of the argument.

"Do I need to cool you two down myself? Or are you grown enough to come inside and shut up?" I barked at them, shooting a stream of water between them.

"Hydraulic, how nice of you to join us." Endeavor rolled his eyes, "Now go find something else to do. I'm having a discussion with my son's teacher."

"You're making a fool of yourselves. The press are here and it makes all of us look like we cannot work together. Get it together and get inside now." I stood my ground. Aizawa looked me over and turned on his heel, leaving.

"How dare you boss us around? We're grown men. You're just a child compared to us." Endeavor bit out, but doubt flashed in his eyes.

"No, I've met grown men. This behavior is childlike, Number 2. I hold a high opinion of you as a professional, and you're making that very hard right now." I held my head high. I was not going to back down on this. I could see his demeanor change.
