Chapter 10: More Family

A/N: I AM HERE

     Having long since finished the conversation with Momo, I began unpacking what little items I had. Most of my clothes were too small.
     Pulling out my makeup bag I gingerly placed it on the vanity, on the wall of my room. Then I began to organize all of my makeup and facial care tools. I often wore quite a bit of makeup, to hide the flaws I can't scrub away.
     By this I mean I have freckles on my face, and in order to keep my intimidating demeanor I can't have soft shit like that on my face.
     What do I look like? A freckled schoolboy who was given a new opportunity at his dream and is starting an exciting life as a main character in a popular anime? No!

    Knock knock

     Breaking out of my totally-not-breaking-the-fourth-wall thought process, I opened the door to reveal my mother in a lacy apron.

     "Dinners ready! Come on down to meet your siblings." She chimes, smiling brightly at me.

     "Wait, uh...are you sure that's a good idea? And uhm so soon?" I stuttered.

     "They are super excited to see you! I had to stop them from skipping their duties." She grinned, pulling me down the stairs.

     As we neared the dining room, I could already hear anxious and excited commotion inside. I couldn't hear all of it but, I did understand some of it.

     "Do you think she knows how to..... cause if not I'll teach her!"

     "Why do you get to?! I wanna teach also!........you hog!"

      "You always got to teach her stuff as a kid I wanna turn!!"

     "Wait, do I look okay?"

     "No you look like a pig."

     "Real mature......"

     Mother passed me and opened the door to reveal two teenagers bickering over a long table. Both had quite the resemblance to our parents. The chocolate skin and dark rampant curls gave it away.
     They were both physically fit. The girl's face was peppered with freckles and she had bright purple eyes that flashed as she spoke.
     The boy had a lot less freckles, and part of his hair was dyed an orangey blonde. His eyes were a glittering gold that sparkled when he smiled.

     Mother stood straight while I, unknowingly, cowered behind her. She looked expectantly at the two and cleared her throat. The two bickering teenagers seemed not to hear her.

      Sighing, she said, "You two are making a fool of yourselves in front of your sister."

     
     The two realized we were there, and came over and introduced themselves.
     The boys name was Greg, and he was a third year at U.A. His quirk was the ability to control nature and turn into a dragon.
     The girl's name was Mae and she was a Pro-Hero. Her quirk was the ability to control shadows but, she could also turn into a dragon.
     Apparently, dragon shifting is a family trait.

    Soon we were seated around the table as a family, Talking and telling each other about ourselves.

     "So what does your tail look like?" Mae asked, shoveling more green beans in her mouth.

     "Oh, uh it's like a wire with a spade on the end." I answered, usually I kept it wound around my waist under my clothes.

     "No, like, the other tail." She replied bluntly.

     I looked at her confused. What other tail? I didn't have another tail. Do I? I would have noticed, wouldn't I?

     "Oh my god you don't know.." Greg interjected in awe.

      "Oh Geez, Sweetheart come here!" Mother exclaimed, rushing out of her chair.

     I stood and walked over until she was directly behind me.

     "Unwrap your tail and hold up your shirt." She instructed.

     I lifted my shirt to expose lower abdomen, then allowed my tail to uncoil from my waist.
     Suddenly she jabbed her fingers-very hard may I add- into the parts of my back directly next to the base of my tail. Before I could reel from the pain an intense feeling of relief spread up my spine and through my body.
     Y'know when you hold something for a long time but can't put it down? Then you finally do and the euphoria you feel is unmatchable? That's what I feel right now.
     My tail felt odd though, and I figured out why when I turned around and saw a long and thick tail in place of my normal one.

     "Wh-wha-w-wha-wah-what?" I stuttered turning to grab the tail, which surprisingly evaded my grasp. I went for it again and like before it dodged. Soon I was consumed in trying to grasp the damned thing. Before I could really get into the chase, Father placed his hands on my shoulders.

     "You've has your tail out for less than a minute and you're already chasing it!" He laughed, gingerly nudging my tail.
     Holding the limb in my hands, I discovered how soft it is. It was covered in hair and along the middle the hair became longer and the tip is covered with hair.

   After that they showed me all other things I could do. I learned that my freckles glow, but I'm still not uncovering them cause.....yeah..and also Greg said he'd teach me how to dragon shift!

     Sitting here, surrounded by my true family, I felt oddly warm. The laughter resounding through the house gave everything a warm glow.

This is what a real home feels like.
