Y/n POV
I woke up as usual, but not really I can actually talk to Shoto normally now. I got up and got ready. My father has already left but left me some snacks to munch on while I headed to school. As if it was clock work Shoto was making his way to my house. "Hey!" He stopped and waited for me.
"Good morning y/n." He gave me a warm smile and we headed towards U.A. As we entered the classroom Midoriya came over to us.
"L/n-San! Did you make up with Todoroki-kun?" With a smile I agreed. "That's great! Wait does your father know??" Midoriya's face looked like he didn't know if he should be worried or excited.
"Yeah he gave up. He know I'll find anyway to be friends with Shoto." Shoto's face grew to a confused expression.
"Wait after all that happened you forgave him on the spot? Are you sure that you misheard him?" Of course Shoto has a point but I can't help it. No matter what he ever did to me I would still believe that the man I played dolls with was still there and I know it. Yesterday it showed. He was nervous and awkward but he was kind.
"No I heard him. He gave up he just doesn't want me injured whenever you're around me. But I'm curious of something he had said... when he was apologizing he said that he didn't mean to do what my mother would've done. And then I also overheard my father arguing with someone on the phone. I think I remember him saying 'you're a bastard of a father who couldn't even take care of your own daughter.' I really don't know what's happened or is happening but it sounds kinda serious." I leaned back on the wall.
"Um.,, l/n-San are you sure he wasn't talking to himself? I mean from what it sounded like it was..." Midoriya nervously sad.
"Hm? Oh no there was responses. Plus the conversation started out about him apologizing to someone. From what I can concur I think my father was talking to my grandfather from my mothers side. I only think that because my father doesn't have a sister. And it would also help with the past tense I heard my father use." Honestly if people weren't having their own conversations the conversation we were having would have gotten everyone's attention.
"Seeing your point that would make sense. Come to think of it you had said not many people showed up for your mothers funeral well classified as family correct?" I nodded. Not many did show up to the funeral. Only my grandmother from my fathers side, me, and my father were classified as family. No one from my mothers side showed.
"We'll continue this conversation later. Mr. aizawa should be coming in soon." We all then took our seats. Soon enough he came and explained what we were to do. He said we we're all going to have a internship with a pro hero agency that either wanted us or that are recommended to us. And for that we needed hero names. (Hey sorry but I'm not going to let you choose your own hero names. Or at least in the story if you want you could read the hero name as the one you choose but I'll be the one picking your hero name. My apologies if you thought you were going to able to choose yours;;)
Ms. Midnight had came in to the classroom to approve of the hero names that my classmates were going to choose. We were given a board and a marker, with that we were left off with our imaginations to create our hero names. My first thought was for my name to go along with my father and mother's hero names something with bullet... no they had chose that for their duo names. Honestly if my father could I think he would change his hero name. My quirk is dark speed, so something with that? Hmm how to come up with my name. Shadow bolt? No that wouldn't make sense... quick control? No that sounds like I can control people. As people started coming up I grew anxious that I would be the last one to go because I couldn't think of a name... that's when it hit me! Gensō! (It's just Illusion in Japanese if you don't like it whenever Gensō pops up you can change it.) it's simple but it goes along with my quirk. I can go fast that people could think they saw me but I wouldn't actually be there plus I can control shadow from anywhere I can see. I wrote it down and was ready to present it. When I showed it no one really understood but Ms. Midnight agreed to it. after that finished we chose our agencies. I had a few up there but since my father was in my requests I chose him since he actually knows how to train my quirk. Soon enough school was over and me and Shoto were walking home together.
"So why'd you choose Gensō as your hero name?" His question casual popped up since we were just walking in peaceful silence.
"I knew someone was gonna ask me" as I sighed I answered his question.
"It's simple really since I can control shadows I can blend in with the darkness and pop up anywhere. And since I'm really quick people can believe they saw me but they wouldn't be able to see me since I'm really quick." His face of realization was hilarious it was just a stunned look that was saying 'why did it take me this long to figure out?' What was more funny was when I started laughing he just started asking questions like 'what? Why're you laughing?' And 'did I do something to make you laugh??' He was so concerned for no reason. And for a good thirty minutes I was laying on the ground laughing my ass off. "Y/n..... are you finished now....?" "Pfft yeah. I'm good now" he sighed in relief. He helped me off the ground and we soon made way to my destination. My house. It looked like my dad was home so I said my goodbye to Shoto and that I would message him later. He waved and I went inside. My dad was on the phone I presume the same person he was talking too yesterday. I took off my shoes quietly and listened.
"You weren't there for any holiday, nor her birthday. You didn't even send a card." He wasn't on speaker so I only could guess what the other person was saying.
"You were busy?? BUSY?! BUSY MY ASS! YOU'RE WIFE WORKED MORE THEN YOU, AND SHE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A OFFICIAL JOB!" As my dad started yelling he put used his quirk to block out the sound from outside since I could still hear him.
"OH DONT START MAKING EXCUSES YOU WOULD STEAL MONEY SO YOU COULD BUY ALCOHOL AND CIGARETTES! YOUR DAUGHTER NEEDED YOU IN HER LIFE BUT WHEN FOUND OUT SHE HAD A METAL CONDITION YOU STOPPED CARING ABOUT HER, THE CLEANLINESS OF YOUR HOUSE, EVERYTHING! THE FIRST DAY I MET YOU WHEN YOU ASKED ME THOSE QUESTIONS YOU WERE SO UNENTHUSED! YOU WERE HAPPY SOMEONE ELSE WAS GOING TO DEAL WITH HER SHIT INSTEAD OF YOU!" I was really wondering who he was talking to and who about. But that's when he said it. "M/N SHOULD'VE HAD A BETTER FATHER THEN YOU! A BETTER LIFE WHERE YOU CARED FOR HER! SHE DIDN'T DESERVE WHAT SHE HAD! YOU JUST HAD TO MAKE IT WORSE WITH YOUR NEGLIGENCE! I TRIED MY BEST TO GIVE HER THE ATTENTION SHE WANTED. I TRIED MY BEST TO GET YOU YOU RE-INVOLVED IN HER LIFE BUT NO ONCE WE MOVED AWAY YOU STOPPED ANSWERING CALLS ANSWERING MESSAGES THE ONLY REASON WHY YOUR WIFE DIDN'T VISIT WAS BECAUSE YOU THREATENED HER NOT TO GO." He was talking about my mother. And was talking with my grandfather?? I mean I knew there was a reason why when I asked to see any grandparents I may have from my mother he would change the subject. I heard enough I felt bad for my dad I don't know what my mother had but it pained him. I put back on my shoes and acted like I reentered the house but to make sure I slammed the door hard.
As I slammed the door I even said loudly "Dad? Are you home?" I heard him say quietly that he was hanging up now. He soon stopped using his quirk and came to me. "Welcome back y/n! How was your day?" He acted like nothing happened.
"It was good I chose my hero name and agency I'm going to be interning. How was your day?"
"It was okay but you made it better when I got the notice you'd be interning at my agency." He gave me a hug. Even when he was in a good mood he hardly did this to me. He really wanted me not to ask was his day was okay.
"Yeah I get to spend time with my dad and train my quirk." He laughed and agreed that it would be great. After that we had dinner and went to bed. I wanted to ask but I didn't get the chance to because once he entered his room he started crying. This is why I could never hate my dad. Once he does something he immediately regrets it and puts down on himself I sometimes hear him say this is how it should be this is what I deserve' I don't understand what he meant but I could never ask. Because he'd play it off saying it's nothing. In the end I would just go to sleep and ty to forget what I heard.
