<Meanwhile, in the Todoroki household>

'There is nothing to fear but fear itself.'

Whoever said that was lying.  They never knew about... Teapots. The word itself made me shiver relentlessly.  Let alone the sight of it sitting on the kitchen stove, heating up.

Why did I agree to do this?  I wasn't thinking right.  Have I gone insane?  How could I ever agree to boil water for tea?  I couldn't face my greatest foe.  He was to strong for me to deal with.  That boiling water...  And the way it bubbled, almost like it was trying to reach me from it's container...

All I could do was stare at it as I stood in front of the thing.  It was horrifying.  Absolutely horrifying.

A loud shreek came from the...  The thing in front of me.  I slowly backed away from it.  What was it planning to do?  Was it trying to kill me?  To take vengeance because I boiled water inside of it!?  What was going on!?

I crouched down and put my hands over my ears, trying to stop the squealing from reaching my ears.  It's trying to kill me...  Oh, God, It's trying to kill me...

"Dad..?  Hellooooo?" I didn't hear whoever it was that was talking, "Mom!  Dad's doing it again!"

I could feel the scar on my eye burning.  The teapot was calling to it's fallen brethren...  It's trying to kill me, It's trying to kill me...

"Teapots, teapots, teapots, teapots," I muttered.  Go away...  What do I have to do to make you go away!?

I jumped when I felt a hand on my shoulder.  With a glance, I could see that it was my wife.

"Teapots!" I yelled as I jumped away and ran off to who nows where.  Kaminari found me later that day.  Tears were falling down my cheeks, and my hands were clenching my hair in a desperate attempt to get the image of that teapot out of my head.  My form was huddled in some corner.

"Dude...  What are you muttering about?" Kaminari's voice started me, causing me to stop muttering the word 'teapot' over and over again.

"Kaminari..?" I inquired.  What was he doing here..?  Actually...  Where was here?  All I remember is running away from the teapot...

"Yeah...  Are you high or something?  What's with your obsession of teapots?" Kaminari wondered aloud.  I flinched at the word...  Teapot...

"You alright..?" The blonds voice was filled with worry.

"I'm...  Fine..." I whispered.  Slowly, my hands slid down from my white and red locks.  My icy blue and grey hues looked into Kaminari's yellow ones.

"You don't look alright..." Uncertainty laced his voice.  My head bobbed side to side as I shook it.  Kaminari offered me a hand, which I grabbed and pulled myself up with.

"What are you doing here?" I questioned while I looked around.  It appeared that I was in some sort of ally way. 

"I was just walking around.  Thought I'd pick up some pretty ladies," Kaminari admitted.

I looked at him with a questioning gaze, "Don't you have a wife..?"

Kaminari shrugged, "I haven't been interested in her lately...  I guess I just don't really like her anymore.  A small blush became visible on his face, though I couldn't tell why he was blushing.  There was no apparent reason.

"Actually...  I haven't even been looking at girls at all..." Kaminari quietly stated.  I stared at him in confusion, before it finally clicked in my brain.
