"Now all we do is wait for it to finish cooking." I say. "That was a lot of work." He says and sits on the couch. "But it'll be worth the wait. Be right back I'm gonna change." I say and walk off to my room.

"So what was mom like in school?" He asks

"So what was mom like in school?" He asks. "She was a straight a student never missed a day. She was very quiet. We were both introverts but some how we managed to want to talk to each other. Sometimes she made me laugh. She got such good grades but sometimes she could be clueless. She always looked so pretty. Normally I defended her in most situations. Sometimes she would speak her mind though. At one point when we were kids I was in love with her. So I thought as a kid. We were at the playground and some girls were talking about who they liked and loved. I was curious about what love was so I asked. When they explained it. I felt like I loved her. I went up to her. I said Rei I love you and wanna marry you. Then I kissed her on the cheek. She said yes and kissed me on the cheek. As we got older our feelings changed. We did go out for awhile. We even went official. She couldn't handle the bullying. As much as I stuck up for her. She just said she didn't want to go through it anymore. It was heart breaking. We both were devastated. She still said she loved me though and even kissed me by surprise sometimes. I never understood why she did. She acted like we were still a couple when no one was around. I told her that it wasn't right. That if she loved me she would care. That she shouldn't be afraid to show that she loved me in public. That I would have protected her to the very end...because I loved her so much. That I was willing to go through hell and back for her. She still refused to. She told me that she'd never show me affection in public again. I felt so hurt. Like it was nothing but a secret relationship. A love that I could never show to the world. Because I was so proud and happy to be with her. It felt like she didn't love me. The way she looked at me when she said it. She had this look of anger. I felt like I was just this person who was never meant to be shown affection at all. So I broke up with her. I refused to be locked away. To not feel loved by someone I loved so much." I say.

"(Y/n)" He says. I still loved her though. Even after everything." I say. He hugs me. "You loved her a lot you also loved my dad a lot too. I can understand how you felt so upset." He says. "Yep." I say. "I had to move on though. It was hard. I tried dating and all but it just felt pointless. So I've been single for a long time. It sucks but sometimes it doesn't." I say. "So... would you be willing to try dating dad?" He asks.

"Nope he's lost his mind. I do not want to go through that." I say. "Oh okay." He says. "Do you want me to?" I ask. "I was just wondering. If you did I wouldn't mind. I think you could change him. Mom said he was nicer before they got married. I feel like it was because of you." He says. "I can whip him into shape if that's what you want. Shoto told me how much of an ass he's been. If I were married to him none of that would have stood a chance. I did promise your mom that I'd protect you. So I will be that hero you guys need." I say. The timer dings. I go and take it out. He comes in the kitchen.

"Tada perfect lasagna." I say. "It looks really good." He says. "Now we leave it here to cool a bit." I say. I make some garlic bread. "So you think you can really fix him though? He's really stubborn." He says. "I know trust me. Everyone has weaknesses though. Everyone becomes vulnerable sometimes." I say. "Okay." He says.

"Do you guys want salad?" I ask. "No trust me this is plenty." He says. The door bell rings. "I'll get it." He says. The garlic bread time goes off. I feel like tonight will be very eventful.
