Thank you so much for 100K reads!

"(y/n)?!", Bakugo and Midoriya exclaimed at the same time.

"Hey, guys", I said with a small smile. "I'm glad you're here."

"I agree!", Fuyumi beamed as she began leading everyone into the residence. "Sorry, I know it was short notice. Having everyone over was my own selfish request!"

"Why though?", Bakugo murmured, too soft for her to hear.

"I was happy to oblige!", Midoriya cheerfully replied, a stark contrast to his childhood friend's grumpy demeanour.

Fuyumi smiled at him and Todoroki looked at his sister.

"Natsu's here too?", he asked. "I saw his shoes."

"We wanted to talk to you and your friends as a family", Fuyumi explained.

She lead us into the dining room and gestured for us to sit down.

"Please make yourselves comfortable, I will get the food."

I was about to offer to help when she interrupted me with a friendly smile.

"You too, (y/n), you are a guest, after all."

I gave in with a nod and sat down at the table, unfortunately ending up across from Endeavor. Todoroki noticed and moved his seat to sit next to me so I wouldn't be alone there. Natsuo was sitting on the right side of the large, square table, and Fuyumi would later join him there. Midoriya and Bakugo were sitting next to each other on the left side.

I shot Todoroki a thankful smile when he sat down next to me and waited for Fuyumi to finish putting all the food on the table.

"No need to force yourselves if you don't like something", she said as she also sat down.

"Thank you for the food", everyone said before we began to eat.

It was all very delicious and I admired Fuyumi's cooking skills.

"Everything's really tasty!", Midoriya praised before he began to ramble about the thing he was eating.

"Stop analyzing your food!", Bakugo eventually stopped him.

"Of course it's good", Natsuo then said, talking for the first time since dinner started. "Ever since the maid hurt her back and retired, Nee-san's been doing all the cooking."

"You cooked too, Natsuo!", Fuyumi chuckled. "We alternated! And (y/n) helped me with the sidedishes."

"Really? So wait, did I eat Natsu's cooking?", Todoroki asked, seeming surprised by the idea.

"Well, I wonder about that", Natsuo murmured. "I always over-season mine, so... Endeavor may not have allowed it."

I had to stop myself from physically cringing when he called his father by his hero name. The atmosphere, which was already tense, changed and I could almost see electricity crackling through the air.

"What kind of food do you eat at school, Shoto?", Fuyumi quickly asked, clearly changing the subject as she grabbed Natsuo's arm behind the table.

"At the cafeteria-", Todoroki began

"Sorry, I didn't realize", Endeavor said at the same time. "Next time- Erm."

The mood worsened again and I cast my gaze towards the table to avoid any unintentional eye contact. I looked up again when I saw Natsuo move from the corner of my eye. The tall Todoroki frowned and got up.
