Touya pov

I come back a week early from my training. I stand on a rooftop deciding whether I should visit Ochako, Shoto or mother first. But at that exact moment, in the corner of my eye, I see endeavor on a rooftop near the one o was standing in. Perhaps it was curiosity that made me wonder what he was doing. So I let curiosity win and went to the rooftop where Endeavor was standing on.

Just as I reached there I could hear small sniffles from him. Before I could say anything he asked "Going to like me yet?" "No, I was just curious and wanted to know what you were doing up here"I reply. We then stay there in silence for a few moments. I look at him and find tear marks over his face. Why was he crying? I asked myself. And again curiosity got the best of me so I asked "if you don't mind would you tell me why you were crying?" He looks at me suspiciously so I added "I swear that this will stay between the two of us."

Minute's later he replied "It's none of your business, kid." I was frustrated by the lack of answers to my curiosity but I ask again "If you don't wanna tell me, then fine. At least tell me why you seem annoyed every time you see me? Is it because I'm a villain?" He looked at me skeptically. I was sure that beer was considering whether to tell me or not, so to waver his decision, I put on the best puppy dog eyes I could make and instantly he gives in. He sighs in defeat and turns to look at me and says "You just remind me too much of my oldest son."

This statement made me boil with anger. Looks like he still hates me, after all this years. "Do you hate your son so much that even the sight of someone similar to him makes you annoyed?" I ask, scoffing mid sentence. He looks guilty and says "no, he is dead." "How does him being dead justify your annoyance at someone similar to him?" I ask, practically boiling inside. "It's because I couldn't save him" He says in a very low voice. I was stunned for a moment. I couldn't believe my ears. As*hole Endeavour has felt guilty for not being able to me. Bullshit I thought.

"Why do you blame yourself?" I ask again. "Touya couldn't handle his quirk. Every time he used it he would get burned, so I stopped his training and in order for him to move on, I started to train his little brother,Shoto. I could tell that he didn't like what I was doing but I couldn't let him get hurt. But unfortunately he has been training on his own and one day he called me to Sekoto peak, my old training ground to show me a new move that he had created. But I didn't go because I thought it I did it would just motivate him to train more. That day Hus quirk overwhelmed him and he burned to death" He replied. At one point he started tearing up.

Suddenly I realized that I was no longer angry at him as I was before. Of course I was still angry at him for what he had done to Shoto and mother. I did not forgive him completely either, well not just now but I was willing to give him a chance to prove himself.

I look at Endea-no Tou San's face and pull him into a hug. "Since I remind you of your son, think of this as an embrace from him" I tell him. Instantly he broke down in tears. My heart aches for him. Maybe he wasn't as bad as I thought.

Few seconds later he breaks the hug and says "I'm sorry for judging you just because you were a villain. Maybe that's another reason, why I'm such an As*hole." I laugh at what he just said and tell him that its ok. He then asks me when I was becoming a pro, to which I replied that I will become a pro by the next week. He smiles at me and asks "If it's ok for you, why don't you join my agency?" Right now I was a hundred percent baffled. "A..are you sure?" I ask him again. He lights his head to ruffle my hair and nods. I felt like my five year old self, excited and craving for Father's praise. Father surely did change and I could clearly see it now.

He then turns to where the sun was sitting and was about to leave. He stops in between and asks "What's your hero name?" "Inferno" I reply.

Then he disappears into the horizon and I say See you later Tou San.
