Present day

Your POV

I check my laptop for any new orders. I had a few and get in contact with them. My phone goes off. I check it. "Hello this is (Y/n)." I say. "Hi I came by today to get some flowers for my mom today." He says. "Oh right long time fan. How can I help you?" I ask.

"I was wondering if I could come by tomorrow? I had some questions. If not that's okay." He says. "It's alright I don't mind." I say. "Okay then I'll see you tomorrow." He says. "Bye." I say. "Bye." He says. I hang up. "Tomorrow will be interesting." I say.

Time skip next day

I make the arrangements early so they customers can get them when they like. The bells on the door jingle. It was Enji. I make the flowers with my arm and wrap it in paper. I set it on the counter. He looks at me. I raise an eyebrow looking at him.

"You know I can come in for other things you right." He says. "Yeah." I say. "So you just assume that I want these?" He asks. "Yep." I say. He just looks at me. "I'm not doing this with you. I have a business to run so what would you like?" I ask. He just looks around.

"I'll take these instead." He says. "She's allergic to those." I say. "How would you know?" He says. "I notice things and pay attention." I say. "Fine I'll take the flowers." He says and pays for them. He leaves annoyed as usual. He hates that I know so much.

How I can predict what he wants. I rub my face. I pull my self together and breathe out. The door opens. "Hello." The red and white haired boy says. "Hi." I say. I pull a stool up next to mine.

"So what did you wanna ask? First though what's your name?" I say. "My name is Shoto." He says. "Okay I needed to know your name before anything. So ask away." I say. "I was wondering if you knew my dad?" He says. It's no surprise he doesn't know. "I did we went to UA together." I say. "I found a picture of you and him. He was holding it in his sleep. He looked like he was crying." He says.

He shows a picture of me and Enji on his phone. Enji is kissing my cheek while I smile. "I thought I knew him at least. We dated at UA for awhile but he stabbed me in the heart for his own reason. He's a power greedy asshole. Not to offend you though. He was at least when I knew him in the end." I say. "No he still is. I am the creation of it." He says. "I wouldn't doubt it." I say. "Do you think he liked you?" He asks. "I'd like to think so." I say.

"Did you like him?" He asks. "I did a lot." I say. "I think that he can be stuborn at times and then a bastard the next but even so I think he made the wrong decision." He says. "On?" I ask. "On life in general. If he wanted strong kids that's fine. Forcing them to train like soldiers at five is a terrible thing. He should have took his time. There wasn't any love in our family well isn't. It's a mess." He says. Oh I know. "Well you love your mom don't you?" I ask.

"Yeah." He says. "Despite your messy family I'm sure there's love there. Maybe it isn't shown a lot or as visible as most. I'm sure it's there a little." I say. "Is your family love visible." He asks. "Well I left mine at a young age. I couldn't handle the physical and emotional abuse. I left because I didn't feel loved. I made a life for myself. I did have a son. He wasn't mine biologically. I found him near death on the sidewalk. I took him in and we were happy. I treated him as a mother should. I had made my own family. Even though it wasn't by blood. It was all I ever wanted. Then the incident happened and I lost him. He was no where to be found. I guess it's kinda the apple doesn't fall far from the tree situation." I say. "Did you try to find him?" He asks. "I did for a long long time. I even got the police involved. Then I realized if he wanted to be found he would have shown up. That missing poster on the wall is just in case anyone has seen him." I say pointing to it. He looks at it.

"It's nice that you're trying still. You loved him a lot." He says. "I did very much I still do. I wouldn't even yell at him or get mad. I'd just be happy he's back." I say.
