The Hellfire Child

Chapter 9

😶😓

================================
Part 2

The day has come...the day where Enji finally graduates from primary school and moves onto secondary school.

Due to there being less and less casualties in the line of hero work, thanks to All Might, medic Heroes, such as recovery girl, have begun to work in Hero schools. You're on family leave for the day and if there's any emergencies they will call you immediately, but you're pretty sure it won't come to that.

Your hair is in a simple loose bun and you're dressed in a Navy blue pencil skirt with a simple navy blue suit jacket. Underneath is a light orange button up blouse; your heals are a simple glossy black and only an inch high. Enji is wearing the same sailor suit that all the other kids are wearing.

You're currently kneeling down by the front door and fixing his tie and placing the bowler hat on top of his head.

"What a handsome young man you've grown to be", you smile, "I bet that girl you like will think so too."

Enji erupts like a little volcano; his face turning completely red, "M-mom, you're still going on about that...I told you about her 3 weeks ago...please let it go..."

You chuckle, "And why would I do that?"

"Because it's embarrassing...", Enji mutters quietly.

You do a few more adjustments before standing up and dusting off your knees. You grab your black purse and make sure you have everything (especially your keys and phone, as well as tissues cause you know you'll need them) while you have Enji run around the apartment making sure all the lights are off. You open the front door, lock it behind you, then turn to Enji and hold out your hand while smiling; Enji smiles back and takes your hand.

While walking down the street to the elementary school you can't help but to enjoy every moment. Enji talks on and on and on about how he's going to get into UA, and be a Hero you'll be proud of. He says that he'll try to save as many lives as possible and work along side many great Heroes.

//2 days after Enji was born\\

You cradle your baby in your arms while he sucks on his pacifier. You look at the time, 2:43am, and debate whether or not to call your childhood best friend. He's probably asleep. You carefully, not to wake your now sleeping son, reach for your phone, scroll through your contacts and then stop to debate again.

"Should I... he's sleeping and I don't want to wake him...maybe... it's going to be so awkward though, oh hey T.Y., haven't talked to you in a year; you know, since you started your first year at UA and I started my Hero work, yeah well surprise I have a son and no father to help take care of him, sorry, should have listened to you, haha, love you T.Y." You're so disappointed in yourself and yet, all you need at the moment is your best friend.

You finally decide to call him at 2:58 am. It rings once...twice... three...four times...and right before it rings for a fifth and final time you hear a "Hey (y/n), been awhile, what's up?"

Time seems to stop and you stumble over every single one of your words, while looking down at Enji sleeping peacefully. "H-hey T.Y., uh, n-nothing much what's up with you?"

"Stressed...is something wrong?"

The concern that his boy, well man, has for others is unbelievable. "N-no! ...well...maybe?", you sigh, "I don't know anymore."

"We've been friends forever...you can talk to me, even though I am a younger than you."

You sigh knowing he's right, "You remember how I was with Todoroki?"
