Married To A Gangster

FIFTY ONE

My father and Enji argued downstairs as I packed my things to leave. Touya has been shouting, telling me how he was against all of this. "You're not leaving me! Come on Izuku you really want to throw out our marriage? We've a hit a year! We can hit so many more if you just stayed"

"I don't have a choice, besides this was never gonna work out anyways...we don't love each other-" "I DO, I fucking love you Izuku trust me I mean it" he said while holding my hands in his looking into my eyes with a scared expression, one that I've never seen on him.

Slowly his eyes started to shine from the tears he held in. I was surprised to see this side of his, I took my hands away from him an left the room. "You better keep an eye out Hisashi, you will pay the consequences" Enji said coldly as we both exited the place.

I stayed silent, staring up at the image of my mother that hanged above the candles and flowers. Her warm smile soothed my heart, calming me down as I started to take in on what had happened.

My father had took me back in, I was living with him while enrolling back into school. At first I was against it, I lost hope to continue my education but my father didn't, he said a good education is what I need the most right now.

But...is it really? Shinsou was my biggest supporter, now he isn't here anymore. I don't understand why Compress would do such a thing, was it really because of his fight with Touya? Was he that angry..

"Izuku" I looked back seeing my father stand still as he stared at me. He walked over to me,
Sitting by my side looking at my mother. "I don't know what to do anymore, I don't know what's best for you. I'm sorry, I've let you down" I watched his tears stream down his face, holding a serious expression but I knew that wasn't the way he  felt right now.

"I should've never let that marriage happen, you've gone through so much...and I didn't do anything, I sent you away, locked you up up for weeks" "and now they're after us....I'm sorry..I've been a horrible father to you"  I rested my head against his arm stay silent, feeling his body tremble.

"You haven't been a horrible father, you never have..." "oh yes I have, I'm afraid my consequences will be losing you...I can't bare that happening, I've already lost your mother"  his arm wrapped around me, pulling me close as he pressed his lips against my head.
That was the night my father allowed himself to cry in front of me, a night I wouldn't forget.

My first day back at school wasn't so bad, I still had my classes with Shoto. He's been kind lending me the notes from the past lessons I've missed and filling me in, helping me catch up with the rest.

I sat quietly at my desk, writing in my notes until Shoto said something catching me off guard. "What?" I asked looking at him surprised "Do you miss Touya?" He asked again. I looked at him, staying quiet as I turned away.

"He misses you, he's cried for you. He's growing an alcohol add-" "what does that have to do with me? I don't care...he never loved me anyways" I said as I packed my things up
"wait-" "I got to go, my father is already here. I'll see you tomorrow"

I walked away, keeps my head down as I exited the building. I didn't expect him to talk about his brother, especially since the two never got along. He's told me a few things, said Touya never liked him because he was the perfect child and he was not.

Shoto and his sister were the only ones in the family that didn't involve themselves in their family's gang activities, they were considered 'normal' people. And that's why Touya hates him, he hates that he's done everything to please his father but he still payed all his attention to Shoto was just a nerd in Touya's eyes.

Still, I don't know why he brought him up. It's only been two weeks since the 'divorce'. Haven't seen or spoke to him since then, I'd like to keep it that way...for now.
