HEAVY RAIN POURING DOWN, the sound of loud sobs coming from your mother, the loud murmuring coming from the people around your family.
You stared at your father's grave with an empty look in your eyes. you weren't crying or showing any signs of sadness. from head to toe, your body was soaking wet from the heavy rain.
The sky was gloomy and sullen. your family sent their prayers to your father's grave, your brother was just as sad as your mother but he was more on the angry side, and your baby sister didn't understand anything.
At times like this, you hate that you can hear everything. you hate that you can hear someone whisper badly about you or your family..
"She's not even crying.."
I'm tired of crying.
"Maybe she didn't care for her father?"
Shut up. you don't know anything.
"The whole family is depressed yet look at her..."
You're an outsider. what do you know?
"I feel bad for her mother."
Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up-
"[name]?" Monoma spoke calmly as he stared at your face. you turned to face him with slight widened eyes.
It still hasn't entirely hit you that your father is dead. he's dead? how did he die? no one knows. not even the pro heroes who were working alongside him know the cause. they were all there and yet.. they couldn't save him. no, you didn't want to blame the heroes. they tried their best.
"Neito-kun..." Your voice was all shaky, it felt like you were about to pour your heart out in front of all the pro heroes and strangers.
Monoma didn't entirely understand what it's like to lose someone, Minato was like a second father to him. but the look on your face as you stared at him, really hurt.
He placed his hand on your shoulder before pulling you close to him, embracing you into a tight hug.
just that hug alone was enough to make you cry.
You gripped on the hems of his shirt as you let out quiet sobs. 'they don't know anything..! and yet, they talk and talk! I hate them. I hate them all!.. even the press! all of them.. dad.. why did you have to leave..'
"Neito-kun.. neito-kun.." you started choking on your sobs, you thought you weren't going to cry today. but it all felt really heavy, you don't know what went wrong.
"It's okay, [name].. I'm here. it's okay.."

After crying your heart out, people went ahead to send their condolences to you and your family. It felt awkward having to speak to them even though you barely knew half of the people at the funeral.
"I'm sorry for your loss, Minato was a great guy." Enji spoke firmly, you stared at his children.
It wasn't that long ago since they lost someone of their own. Todoroki Touya died 7 years ago, it was definitely hard to take in. they couldn't find his body so you visited Touya's altar every now and then.
'I'm so tired. I just want to go home.' your brows were furrowed.
The youngest Todoroki who was your age stared at you. he was feeling conflicted, 'why is she glaring at me like that..'
A few pro heroes that your dad, uncles and aunts know personally came to the funeral. some of your mother's friends even brought their children with them.
"Young Kurosaki, I'm so sorry for your loss. Minato-kun was a great person and a great hero." All Might placed his hand on your shoulder, you didn't respond so instead, you weakly nodded.
After the funeral, you and your family headed back to the estate.
Your mother was still crying, I mean why wouldn't she be? she just lost the love of her life. you knew that a hero's job was dangerous, anyone could lose their life when encountering a powerful villain. yet, there was a bitter taste in your tongue. should you even be a hero? should you even go to U.A? what were you supposed to do now that your number one supporter is dead.
He was supposed to watch you get into U.A. he was supposed to watch you make friends. he was supposed to be there for you..
Your face morphed into a grim look. you didn't want to get discouraged. you told your father that you were going to be a hero and make him a proud father. you said that all, wholeheartedly and honestly.
You're going to be a hero.
You wiped the sudden tears rolling down your cheek, "I'm going to be a hero and make you proud of me, Dad."
