Shoto Todoroki never planned to come home again. After years abroad, he returns to Japan with more scars than anyone can see - a quiet heart, a fractured family, and a past full of unspoken pain. What he doesn't expect is Tenya Iida - the steadfast man who seems to steady the ground beneath his feet without even trying.
Iida's life runs on order and control, until Shoto steps into it - distant yet gentle, hiding behind a wall of polite calm that's slowly crumbling. When an unexpected bond forms between them, what begins as quiet companionship turns into something deeper: love, healing, and a second chance neither of them knew they needed.
But old wounds never fade easily. Enji Todoroki's shadow still looms, guilt and pride tangling with his desperate attempt to reach the son he once broke. As Shoto tries to navigate his growing love for Iida and his complicated past, the arrival of a small child - Hana - changes everything.
Together, they learn what it means to build a family from ashes - one built not on blood, but on choice, forgiveness, and quiet persistence.
Years later, as cherry blossoms fall and laughter fills their home, Shoto realizes healing isn't forgetting - it's remembering without pain. And when he finally offers his father a place at their table, it marks not an ending, but the beginning of something new.
A story of love that heals, family that grows, and hearts that bloom again after fire.
