"Was it easy for us out here?" Rei tied his final mini-braid sadly since the rest of his hair had been cut due to school's hair code, at least they let him keep a few strands enough for his mini braids. He slips on the last bead over his hair tie, running his thumb on the engraving on it.
Odin.
Written in rune, his father himself gave it to Rei on his final day of training in Asgard, telling him it'll help him one day. He smiled at the memory of the daily grind the AllFather would drag him into and turn to his adoptive sister who's currently serving them both breakfast and an extra on another plate for her husband.
"And what do you mean by us? Does it include Tenya?" Haru had that playful smirk on her face. Rei just scoffed at the remark, she knows exactly what he meant. She sat and cupped one of Rei's hand in hers, her smirk stretched into a soft smile.
"Not all demigod is destined for a quiet life, Rei. Some are messier than the other, back in my part of the board, being a descendant of Hades was one of the reasons your life might be shitty." They both chuckled at that. "Though the world has changed a lot, we're still a group of minority living in the shadows, some are brave enough since maybe they only inherited a personality trait, or extra strength or extra vision, things that are not noticeable enough or maybe one thing prominent enough to pass as a person with quirk." Haru shrugged. "People know me as an all-around healer, no one knows I can shapeshift."
Rei nodded at his cup of milk solemnly, he remembered all those stories of villains the people he gladly calls uncle and aunts used to fight years ago. People with multiple quirks still raise caution among the community, uncle Midoriya had warned him while sparring one day. All-For-One had left a deep scar into the world. Rei used his "making words into things" as an excuse for his various tricks, warps and such, but even Todoroki had told him to cut off several of his spells to avoid suspicion from others.
Haru couldn't let his beloved brother sink lower than the dimming blue in his eyes, she held Rei's free palm, pulling his attention to her. With a soft smile, she said what she thinks had to be said.
"But you're not alone, Rei. There's me, the other deities in local shrines wouldn't mind if you confide in them, though I recommend Tenjin the most, his shinkis are also the brightest among others,"
That managed to pull the ends of his lips upwards.
"What's this? Stage fright before the first day of school?"
And that pulled them back down.
"Tenya!"Haru pouted. The man that had just come bounding down the stairs grinned and gave his wife a peck on the cheek, though her complexion was tanned, it was clear as a day that she blushed. It's a challenge for Rei to not gag at that. Tenya sat on the only empty chair left and started digging into his meal.
"I heard that boy from the test is going to pick you up from the train station,"
"Oh I was worrying if we have to walk you there, I feel bad leaving you alone in the station,"
The couple said them back to back and this time, Rei choked on his milk. He put his mug back down slowly, while Haru and Tenya were sniggering. He put up a finger and pointed at the couple accusingly, that was not supposed to get out surely. After his coughing had subsided, he croaks.
"First of all, how did you know?"
Haru burst into a fit of laughter, Tenya casually shrugged.
"We're pro heroes, we need to expand our connections somehow, I mean, the Arakis are a nice bunch-"
Haru's laugh boomed louder, but not before putting her own piece of mind.
"We parents must communicate, y'know...form a committee or some sort-"
