Chapter 19

It had to be him, it just freaking had to.

Enji Todoroki was a large and built man with reddish orange hair and a beard. He had aquamarine eyes like that of Shouto's left eye but his gaze was hard and piercing, almost challenging.

As soon as Momo saw him, she knew he was someone who was feared and judging by the tense atmosphere between the father and son, she just had this horrible feeling that things wouldn't go well.

"I see you have company." He roughly stated as he looked Shouto dead in the eye, "Mind introducing this young lady?"

"Her name is Momo Yaoyorozu and she's a friend of mine," Shouto replied in equal coldness, "Now if you don't mind, could you move aside and let us in or if that's not to your liking I could just leave."

"Yaoyorozu." Enji mumbled to himself, "Why yes, I've met the Yaoyorozu's before, you must be their daughter who caused the commotion bef-"

"Shut up." Shouto cut him off, "It's none of your business."

"Shouto, I suggest you start treating me with a bit more respect or else-"

"Or else what? Your going to beat me? I'm 18, old enough to not take any orders from you, and respect? If you ever treated me with some then maybe I can consider treating you with a bit too." Shouto harshly let out.

Enji sighed and moved away from the door, leaving Momo and Shouto to go inside.

"Hey." Momo gently tapped Shouto's shoulder as they made their way to the hall, "Are you okay?"

"No." He bluntly replied as he walked up to Fuyumi and told her to pack Momo's things.

"Just seeing that stupid man's face ruins my day, we need to get you away from here or else things might get even worse." Shouto hurriedly said.

"Okay." Momo mumbled.

"Here are your stuff Momo," Fuyumi tried to sound cheerful, "You seem like a lovely person and I really hope the next time we meet is under much more positive circumstances." She gave Momo a bright smile.

Momo gave her a hug, "Thank you for taking care of me and letting me stay, it really was a pleasure to meet you."

"Take good care of my little brother okay?" Natsuo came out of nowhere, "And if he's acting like a jerk just let me know, Fuyumi and I will put him in place." He grinned.

"Thank you, I'm ever so grateful to the two of you, I'm glad that Shou- I mean Todoroki has such amazing siblings." Momo gave a warm smile.

"Shouto you are damn lucky, you better treat her right." Fuyumi lectured,
"I give my seal of approval." Natsuo declared,

"For what?" The clueless duo tilted their head in confusion.

"The both of you are so dense it hurts." Fuyumi groaned.
"Tell me about it." Natsuo playfully rolled his eyes as the other two made their way outside.

"Now we have some other things to take care of." Fuyumi stated quietly as she saw Enji make his way to his room.

They neared Momo's mansion, the taxi ride was silent, both of them immersed in their own thoughts.

"Momo. Listen." Shouto finally turned to face her,
"I have a bad feeling about my dad in this situation so no matter what happens, do not give him any sort of information and minimize any type of communication with him, okay?" He was serious, dead serious.

"But haven't you thought about- wait. Never mind, okay, I'll minimize communication." Momo sighed.

Now's not the time to lecture him Momo. I'll just give him some space.

"S-Shouto." She said rather hesitantly, like she was testing the word,

"Things are pretty jumbled up for me right now and I know that you'll be there for me but the same thing applies to you too, if things ever get too much for you to handle, I'll be here so don't worry too much." She gave him a small smile.

Shouto's heart squeezed just a little.

It's funny how she makes me forget about that stupid old man, I think I'm slowly starting to understand why I like her.

He nodded.
The taxi came to a stop and Shouto walked with Momo to the entrance of her house (or mansion, whatever makes you happy).

"We'll be going to UA in a few of days, will it be alright with you if we could go together?" Momo timidly asked,

"Sure." Shouto replied, "Also, I'll text you if anything new comes up, text me too alright?"

"Okay." Momo blushed a little.
Why Momo?! Just why!?

"This is some good popularity." Tomura almost giggled,

"I think it's still quite kiddish of you Shigaraki."

"Oh please, one thing I've learned is time doesn't heal old wounds, it's just a painful reminder that my past is as shitty as my present and the only way to make it less shitty is to inflict painful scars on others." Tomura broadcasted to the rather empty room, "Don't pretend like you had nothing to do with it either and judging by your 'scheme', you still plan to get involved."

"My view is different from yours, so let's just keep it that way."

"Hopefully your mind doesn't change like that buffoon." The pale man exclaimed.

"Stop being so loud."

"Stop being a pain in the ass." Tomura gritted his teeth.

"Anyways, I contacted Toga. If all goes well, things will be up and running in about three to four months."

"That's good. Toshinori is in for it big time." Tomura cackled, "There will not be any interruptions, right?"

"Hopefully not, except for that little fool but let's see how things turn out shall we?"

"I hope that Yaoyorozu girl is not as annoying as Ume." Tomura groaned in frustration.

"Says the one who fell for Ume in the first place."

The room went silent.

"We. Do. Not. Bring. That. Up. Understood?" Tomura whispered.

"Whatever."

"You're a pain in the ass, just like your damned father." Tomura stood up slowly.

"Genetics, am I right? Anyways I'll be leaving now." Touya waved as he left the room.

"Bastard." Tomura spat.

Dear Rei,
I know its been quite some time but I need to talk to you about some things, a lot of things actually. About the kids, work and you. This is stupid of me, trying to reconcile after everything but I want to give it a shot. Whether you're okay with it or not, please give me a response. Take as much time as you need.
Enji

"What's gotten into you Enji?" She mumbled.
