⚡️ Holding On By A Thread ⚡️"Best Jeanist's secret love child"

9 Months for training

(This starts when Tsunagu finished the paperwork.)

Tsunagu POV:

I walked through the hall after exiting my office. The paperwork, thankfully, wasn't much so I finished quickly. I eventually found the room Tadashi had picked, the lights were off and she seemed to be sleeping in the bed. 

Something caught my eye though, she was sweating and looked bothered by something. Her breath was shallow. But she was still asleep for sure.

I quietly closed the door behind me and walked towards the bed. I crouched down and carefully ran my hands through her hair like I did in the hospital. It was semi-worked last time, right?

Her breathing calmed and her expression relaxed, while she was still sweating it wasn't as bad. I stood up and hesitated before leaving the room to go to my own. 'Is she alright? Was she having a nightmare? A memory from the past? It was something that was bothering her...'

It worried me of course. What bothered her so much? I decided I'd wait until she was comfortable enough to bring it up.

***Morning***

When I woke up I cooked breakfast for I and Tadashi, yesterday I remembered her saying something about UA. I wanted to talk to her about it. If she wanted I could recommend her. I could also help her train her quirk along with a few other heroes who wouldn't mind. Hawk's for sure being one of them without saying.

"Good mornin' it smells good in here," I heard a soft groggy voice from behind me when I set the plates down, I turned around and there was Tadashi. Her hair was messy and she was rubbing her eyes, "Good morning Tadashi. I hope you slept well," I sat down and so did she on the opposite side, facing me.

She shrugged, "Sorta. I was tossing and turning all night." 

I nodded, 'Figures...'

"You mentioned something to Midoriya about UA yesterday, right? You're planning to go there?" I asked looking up from my plate, she finished chewing and swallowed before answering.

"Yeah, why?" She tilted her head. I noticed her personality was like a child's. Though, it was still mature enough for standards, but childish.

"I can recommend you if you'd like. And it's what, 9 months till the exams? That's enough time to get you caught up." I saw her eyes brighten at the mention of- everything in the sentence.

She nodded profusely, swallowing again, "I'd love that! You'd seriously do that?"

"Yes. I don't see why not. You seem smart, and you seem to have a passion in you. And a strong unique quirk. Perfect for UA standards," She smiled widely, small tears popped up in her eyes, "Sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry."

She shook her head, "No it's okay, Im just really happy! I never thought that this would ever happen to me of all people... still kinda processing," She poked her cheek making a poker face, and I chuckled. 

"Finish your food and we can set up the schedule," She nodded and began devouring her food, I sighed, "Your throat Tadashi!"

She slowed down pouting.

Tadashi's POV:

After I finished eating I followed da- Tsunagu. TSUNAGU. 'Don't get attached... this probably won't last that long...'

To his office. So we could set up a schedule.

We entered and I grabbed a chair and sat next to him, he ended up setting up a frequent schedule, which was fine since I agreed to it. He said he had some calls to make and I could do as I wished. I smiled and nodded, placing the chair back before leaving.

I explored the house and ended up figuring out we had a pool, I got giddy at the idea of swimming. I went upstairs and tried to see if I could find a bathing suit since I didn't have my own. This morning when I was getting ready I found out that Best Jeanist filled the drawers with clothes, he had guessed my sizes but he's a fashion designer so of course they were accurate.

I got a cute bathing suit on, grabbed a towel, and headed downstairs. Dad- Tsunagu... said he'd be in his office for a while so not to wait.

I walked into the backyard and laid the towel out of the lounge chair. I glanced at my bandages. I slowly undid them, revealing burn marks and cuts all over my legs and arms. I undid my throat bandages too but I had no fricking clue what that looks like, and I didn't wanna know either.

I took a deep breath and slowly got into the water, it stung the bruises and burns. 'Ugh the bruises are already  that gross yellow color...'

I suddenly froze, my breath hitched. Her  voice popped up in my head. Spitting insults...

'You were already ugly, you brat.'

'You won't be your own person with your terrible quirk.'

I could feel my body shaking and my breath quicken. I forced my body out the water... what is going on with me?! I held my head when they didn't stop, I was to bunched up in the insults and prayers I didn't notice the liquid going down my face.

"Stop... please..." I begged the voice in my head, but they didn't. They kept on.

'This is your fault.'

'I killed myself because of you.'

'All you.'

'If you were never born the world would be-'

The voice cut off by someone shaking my shoulder.

(Yes, this is a cliffhanger >;) )

Tsunagu's POV: 

After Tadashi left the room, I dialed Hawk's number. I wanted to surprise her with heroes to help her train. She seemed all bright about the idea of studying to be a hero, and I had the connections. So why not?

He answered after one ring, "Heyyy Best Jeanist, how's Tadashi?"

"Hello Hawks. She doing well. She seems to be settling well and healing. Anyway, I had a talk with Tadashi and Im going to recommend her to UA. And I was wondering if you would like to help train her before the exams-"

"Hell yeah! That'd be awesome! Count me in Best Jeanist, send me the schedule," You could hear his grin over the phone. I don't even know why I asked. It was obvious he'd say yes. "Yes, thank you," I hung up.

'Hmm... who else would be willing to help?' I heard a ding on my personal cell, it was Hawks of course. He was offering to bring other hero friends of his to surprise Tadashi. Sure why not? I agreed and sent him the schedule and I stood up and got out of my office. I had to wait a few days to show Tadashi the surprise, but I would deal with it, to see the excited look on her face.

I walked down the stairs and one of the servants that had been here awhile stopped me with a nervous look on her face, "S-sir Jeanist... Uhm... something happened to Ms. Tadashi..." She quietly explained not making eye contact, this made my heart skip a beat. 'What happened to my daughter?!'

"What happened?!" The serveant lead the way to the living room, "We think she had an episode..." 'An episode?! Dammit...'

When we got there, she was laying on the couch sleeping with a damp rag on her head. She looked at peace actually, "Another serveant noticed she wasn't doing to well, so he shook her shoulder, but she didn't respond. So, he got us to help... We would've told you sooner Sir Jeanist but, we just got her to rest."

I nodded in understanding.

I crouched in front of where she was laying and ran my fingers through her hair, which was seeming to become a habit when I was worried and wanted to comfort my daughter.

"She'll be fine as far as we know. But we'll keep an eye out," The serveant whispered.

"Very well, thank you for telling me," The serveant nodded and left. I turned back to Tadashi's sleeping figure and sighed. 'It's good thing everything happened when it did...'
