Four months. You had been here for four months, and you had done everything in your power to avoid any type of physical contact with the mountain of a man you called your husband. It wasn't exactly easy, but it also wasn't very hard. He wasn't home most of the time, usually at his office in the city, but when he was home he would almost demand attention from you.

It probably was warranted, you were married for Christ's sake, you should be paying a lot more attention to him. But you just couldn't bring yourself to get too close to him. You knew the flames that licked his skin wouldn't touch you, at least you'd hope he had that much control over his quirk. Surprisingly enough you had succeeded, save for the first night.

The past few months consisted of waking up in an empty bed, just the slightest hint of heat lingering on his side, making breakfast for yourself and the two 'children' that lived with their father and their new step-mother, light reading, physical training, lunch, odds and ends of things you wanted or needed to do, then make dinner. The three of you ate in silence, nothing to really say, save for the glances of pity coming from the two. Then a bath, then to an early bed... alone... It wasn't the most exciting life, hell it was pretty damn boring, but you'd have to get used to it.

You jumped slightly hearing the front door slam open. That's odd, usually, the kids are gentle with the door. You shrugged it off and continued to cook dinner, figuring it was just Shoto and normal teenage angst. Shouldn't be too much longer now, chicken rice pilaf was a simple enough dish to prepare, and it was delicious.

"Finish that and bring our plates to my study." your body froze as you heard the deep, angry voice of your husband. What the hell was he doing home so early? Your mind reeled as you nodded your head, knowing he'd be upset if you didn't at least acknowledge he said anything.

Damn it! You were doing so well with avoiding him. Awake after him, in bed before him. Usually, when you knew he was going to be home you scheduled a doctor's appointment or your shopping trip! This was unexpected, and that caused your whole body to shake.

By the time dinner was done your appetite had diminished into almost nothing. You called Shoto and Fuyumi to grab their plates as you made your own and Enji's, silently. You slipped out of the kitchen before either of the children could see you and made your way to the study. You hadn't entered it before, but you knew it was there, it was kind of hard to miss. Juggling the two plates you managed to knock on the door and open it when told to enter.

"Set them there," he growled, pointing to an unused place on the large desk. You did so silently, glancing at him.

Endeavor. Enji Todoroki. The number two hero. Your husband of four months. The man you avoided as if your life depended on it. It just might, in your eyes. He was known for his power and his temper.

"Come here," you obliged, avoiding his gaze as best you could as you walked around the desk. "You've been avoiding me, and neglecting your duties as my wife." a fresh wave of fear washed over you as his ice-blue eyes glared at you, piercing you to your core.

"Our schedules just haven't overlapped." you tried to excuse your behavior, excluding the fact you were the reason they weren't overlapping.

"That doesn't matter." you could feel the irritation radiating off of him. "Strip." Your blood ran cold.

"In here?" You cast quick glances around, "right now? Shouldn't we wait until to-"

"I said strip. Now." The tone of his voice left no room for argument, it was deep, rumbling up from his chest.
