I Loved You First (Dabi X OC X Hawks)

Chapter 43 - Pizza at 2am isn't a good idea

Kimi's POV

Time had momentarily returned to some form of normality. I had returned home, with Shoto staying behind at the hospital to make sure he was okay and keep his friends company, much to my mother's disappointment. My mom and Keigo, who apparently had become best friends in my absence practically attacked me in a combined bone crushing hug as soon as I passed the threshold of my apartment.

"My poor baby! Oh Kimiko the next time that cat loving goth tells you to go anywhere you send him my way!" My mom growled clearly annoyed at Aizawa for no fault of his own.

"I am shooketh!" Screeched Peanut who settled down on Keigo's shoulder and nudged affectionately at my face.

"Hey, I'm fine really! It's good to be back home though." I smiled as they both pulled away, though Keigo made a point of intertwining our fingers with a playful grin.

"Well according to Keigo it's not going to be for much longer! I'm so excited for you moving out of this place Kimiko! Too many bad memories with the break-in and everything. Plus this new house looks lovely!" She said as we made our way towards the couch and sat down, three hot cups of tea before us, clearly having them ready for my arrival home.

"Oh yeah I still need to see this place!" With everything that had happened I had completely forgotten about the place Keigo had found and about us moving in together. I'm still excited for it but images of Touya with the league kept cropping up in my mind and they had a habit of shattering any other thoughts.

"Here you go! It's only one option so don't feel pressured to like it! We still have plenty of time to shop around!" He smiled handing me his phone before petting Peanut lovingly on the beak.

I don't know what I was expecting from Keigo's taste in property but it certainly wasn't this.
The first page of the gallery pulled up the image of a quaint two story detached house nestled among two large cherry blossom trees. It's smooth pine coloured walls almost blending into the bark of the trees and making it seem as if the house itself was apart of the natural environment. Tucked underneth a small porch sat a wide white door with inlaid glass depicting a sunrise and two large windows on either side. 

As I swiped through the other photos I was met with a spacious but homely living room, a quirky yellow kitchen, a large bathroom with a traditional Japanese bath and two reasonably sized bedrooms. The walls, apart from the kitchen, all appeared to be a sort of off-white but it just made the house more appealing, we could really make our mark on this place. As I looked at the final photo I couldn't help but smile. There was a hot tub. A freaking hot tub. Even if I didn't love the rest of the house, which I most certainly did, the hot tub completely sold it!

"It's amazing!" I grinned watching Keigo smile back and my mom nod her head in approval.

"Ah perfect. I thought so too it'll be a great place to raise the children." My mom said matter of factly as Keigo chocked on thin air and Peanut pecked at him irritated that his peaceful perch was moving too much.

"A bit early to start putting eggs in the nest don't you think?" He coughed out with a pink blush spread across his tanned cheeks.

"Oh I don't know I was hoping for maybe eight kids? Going to need to start soon, mom what do you think?" I asked discreetly winking at my mom who let out a wicked chuckle watching Keigo look like he was about to faint. I know Keigo had briefly mentioned the idea of kids before but going by his reaction he wasn't exactly thinking of them anytime soon.

"E-eight? I mean that's okay ... we might need to look for a bigger house though?" He trailed off putting his thumb on his chin and mumbling about renovation ideas for more bedrooms.
