don't burn ٭ natsuo t. ✔

◇ SIXTEEN □

◇□◇

Y/n flipped through the current file on her desk. After finishing one off with the help of Tsukauchi, she got permission to thrift through some older cold cases.

One of which, peeked her interest.

"A boy near his preteens dies in large scale fire. Thought to be the eldest Todoroki son." she read the headline of a paper kept on the top of the small stack.

She looked through the papers once more and sighed. There wasn't an autopsy, they couldn't even find the boys body only ashes and some of his jaw bone from where they assumed he stood.

"First things first I should confirm with Natsuo how old Touya was when he passed. This newspaper says Endeavor denied that the child was his son and that his eldest was in school." Y/n looked up and glared at the computer in thought. Eventually she sighed and started typing.

'Where did Todoroki Touya go to school?' she typed into a search engine, the first results coming up were all about the fire with the boy dying. "The newspaper doesn't even say where the fire took place. Just that it happened and that police are trying their best to find the parents.".

She sighed and shook her head. "And apparently, their best wasn't good enough.". Continuing her digging, Y/n eventually came across a couple post on a social media website where a couple people were sharing their own view points.

One said that their parents work for the police and that they both got bonuses after the incident and just before they suddenly dropped the case.

"They might have been payed off by someone. Maybe a hero wanting to protect his name and image.".

Another says they think it was a murder. Assuming it was the eldest Todoroki son, it's pretty likely someone would try and get to Endeavor through his kids.

Then, there was someone who said Touya attends some top secret school ran by a branch of the government. They said their uncle used to work for it and would constantly get drunk after coming home, only to complain about the stuck up brats including one with a fire quirk who would get burns from his own power.

"So following that, it would make sense that he was killed during a fire. I should write down some questions to ask Natsuo when I update him on what I've found." Y/n grabbed a stack of sticky notes and scribbled down a couple questions.

One being how old Touya was when he died. The second being where did he go to school and what Natsuo knows about it. The third being where exactly he died.

She got the sudden idea to search for pictures of the eldest Todoroki child, though most of the images where of Endeavor when he was a younger hero, there was one of a young boy with white hair exiting a black car with another boy. The car was parked on the side of the road in front of what she could tell was the Todoroki house from when she had been there herself.

She zoomed in and saw some bandages wrapped around the white haired boys lower arms. She cursed the camera angle under her breath, the picture was taken from the opposite side of the road with the bulky car shielding most of the view of the two boys. Though, with the zoomed in picture she could see some red coming from behind the second boy.

She zoomed back out and scanned over the picture once again. She laid it out in her brain, committing the image to memory as she studied it.

A large bulky black car with tinted windows parked in front of the house belonging to the Todoroki's. A man with a black and white suit on opening the car door for two young boys to climb out of. The one with white hair stretching his arms up in the air as he walk forward while the one with blonde hair barely out of the vehicle. A crimson shade of red close to his back that the angle of the camera could just almost get.

Then, it finally clicked.

"Hawks.".

Blonde hair and that brilliant shade of red she had seen countless times on billboards all around the city.

Yes she only had two appearance wise facts to run off of but this could be a lead to help her find out what happened to Todoroki Touya.

She bit her bottom lip as she grabbed her bag and pulled out her laptop, internally screaming at herself as to why exactly did she use the work computer instead of her own? Despite that, she made a new document and quickly typed out everything she had found out. She took screenshots on the work computer of the three posts she had found then copied the image of the two boys.

She made a file on the larger computer of the four pictures before sending it to her laptop. She deleted it when she saw it had loaded completely on her side then packed her laptop away and shut the computer off.

She sighed and cracked her neck, grabbing her sticky note, she folded it and placed it in the pocket of her jacket. She stood and grabbed her bag, picking up the file and debating whether or not to put it back or keep it. She rocked or head back and forth and ended up placing it safely back into the drawer it came from.

After taking pictures of its papers of course.

She walked to the doors of the office doors, saying goodbye to a couple coworkers before leaving and climbing into her car. She smiled to herself when she saw Natsuo had texted her, saying she could swing by whenever.

So, she did just that. Stopping by her house to grab a change of clothes before heading over to the college.

Out front she saw Natsuo chatting with a couple other guys, she didn't want to just pull up so she parked a little ways away then texted Natsuo.

She watched him pull his phone out then smile at it softly, one of the guys playfully punched his shoulder making him laugh while excusing himself. Y/n could hear them shout goodbyes his way as he walked toward Y/n's car.

When he got close enough to make eye contact he smiled like an idiot and practically jumped the rest of the way over to her

And as usual, his weird little antics brought a genuine smile to her face.

"Hey, cutie!" he greeted her with an excited tone, voice sweet and cheery as it usually was when she was around.

"Is that my nickname now?" she asked with a small smirk, turning to grab the wheel and put the car in park as a light blush took her ears.

"You like it?" he asked in a playful voice with a flirty undertone.

She turned and grinned at him, winking as she softly pressed on the gas. "Keep saying it and you'll find out.".
