Endeavorxhawks

Part 1

When Shoto's parents get a divorce, no one is surprised. It's common knowledge that Endeavor and his wife have been separated for years now. Shoto and his siblings celebrate the divorce at an iHop outside of Tokyo.

However, there is mass speculation on why they only now got a divorce, many years after they were first separated. Rumors about Endeavor having a lover on the side run rampant, but Shoto knows the truth. It's simpler than everyone thinks: Shoto's mother is out of the hospital now, independent from Endeavor, living with Shoto's siblings in the house that Endeavor built for them. A divorce was just logical.

The timing was right. When Shoto and his siblings asked their parents why they decided to finally file for divorce, that was their answer.

The rumors about Endeavor getting a divorce because of another woman is ridiculous to Shoto. One, he's pretty sure that his father still sees sex as a way to make babies with powerful quirks—nothing more than that. Two, even though he was not always a good man (he's trying to be better now, Shoto acknowledges that), he's always been a man of his word—that's one of the only things that Shoto has always respected about him. Endeavor finds value in the sanctity of marriage vows; thus, Shouto can't really see him dating someone while he's still married.

Three, and this one is the most important one, there is no "other woman" that Endeavor has been seeing.

The only person Shoto ever sees his father talking to outside of hero work is Hawks, and Hawks is just a coworker. If Endeavor had a lover, Shoto would know.

Shoto tramples on fallen cherry blossoms as he walks along the cobbled path leading into the Todoroki estate.

He doesn't really want to be here, but the 2-A dorms are currently uninhabitable because of a stupid prank war that escalated so much that even Yaoyorozu, Iida, and Kouda got involved. Shouto was sleeping when the incident occurred; he still has no idea how his classmates somehow managed to turn Heights Alliance into a mini Atlantis. He swears that there must be some sort of freaky blood pact between everyone who was involved in the pranks, swearing all them to secrecy. Even the administration has no idea how it happened. Although, Shouto thinks he might have heard Ashido say something about seventeen dildos being flushed down Kaminari's toilet.

Regardless of how it happened, the dorms are cleared out for the week even though classes are still being held. Shoto's mother's new house is too far away from campus for him to commute daily, and although he's sure that neither Bakugou nor Midoriya would say no if he were to ask to stay with them for a couple days, he doesn't want to make a big deal out of this.

It's just for a week. And after everything that happened last winter, Shoto's starting to get along with his father. Sort of. They're getting there.

Shoto just hates it when his father hugs him, and his father tries to hug him whenever he sees him. He hates being hugged in general, except when it's Bakugou doing the hugging. Which is rare. Very rare, but he treasures those moments.

He told his father he would arrive around six or seven, but he gets there earlier than expected. He doesn't think it's a big deal. It's not like his father ever has anyone over, so he doesn't bother to text that he's there early.

However, his father is nowhere to be found. Usually, he's training in the dojo, meditating in the garden, or reading a book on the couch. And whenever Shoto visits or stays over, his father always is there to greet him. He's clingy like that.

(Bakugou always calls Shoto a "clingy bastard" whenever they cuddle. Maybe he gets it from his father.)

After Shoto lugs his duffle bag into his old bedroom, he goes looking for him. The shower isn't running, and he doesn't hear anything cooking in the kitchen (as if any of the male Todorokis know how to cook). Shoto deduces that his father must be sleeping or something (to everyone's complete and utter surprise, Shoto gets his fiendish napping tendencies from his father) and heads in the direction of the master bedroom to wake him up. The grand doors to the master bedroom are wide open, however, Shoto isn't able to even make it past the threshold of the corridor.
