Remedy (ShinKami Story)

Chapter 11

As time passed, Hikori got bigger, older and more active, due to his ADHD. It was almost Christmas time and It was gonna be a hectic day. Denki was just sitting on the couch, reading a book with his son, when something caught his attention. As the little boy was reading, Denki noticed that he was reading some of the words wrong. Getting his sentences muddled up, sometimes making up sentences as if he couldn't read them properly. Intrigued, Denki grabbed his son's chalk board and wrote some numbers on it for him. The little boy knew the numbers from 1-30, currently.

"Hey, Hik? Want to tell daddy what numbers these are? And point to them to show me?"

"21... 15... 6... 21..."

Denki seemed confused. Hikori said 21 twice, when the first number was actually 12. Is Hikori showing early signs of Dyslexia...? Denki stood up and searched for Hitoshi's contact in his phone, leaving his son to watch TV or draw on the chalk board.

"... Hey, Hitoshi."

"Hey, Denks. What's up? Everything alright?"

"I think Hikori is showing early signs of dyslexia, and I should know what that looks like."

"OK... What informed you of that?"

"We were just reading a book, and he was getting words and sentences muddled up. I then got him to read some different numbers. He said 21 twice, even when the first number was 12."

"Ok. I understand where you are coming from, but he could've gotten a bit confused, though I think it would be a good idea to keep an eye on him in the meantime."

"Alright then. See you when you get home. Love you."

"Love you two."

Denki finished the phone call and when back to playing with Hikori.

The next day, Denki was invited out to spend the day with the good old Bakusquad. Besides, Mina wanted to know all of the juicy details about her 'Babies' big and small. As Denki stepped through the door of the café, the bell above the door signalled his arrival. He looked around and eventually caught the pink skin and hair of his alien friend. She was standing up and waving the blonde over.

As he made his wave over, with a big grin on his face, he was met with the sharp teeth of Kirishima, the spiky blonde hair of Bakugo and the big grin of Sero. As he sat down, he gave Mina a big hug. He hadn't seen her in a while and it was really nice to now.

"It's been a while, hasn't it Denki?" the girl smiled.

"Defiantly." He replied. A waitress walked over and he ordered his drink.

"So?"

"What?"

"Give me the tea! What's been going on with you all?! I know you all have kids now, so tell me how the parent life is going!" Mina whined. "I don't have any kids of my own! Yours are the closest I'm gonna get! Sero! You tell us about your family first! And don't think about skipping on any details or else."

"Oh! Um... Ok. Well? Where to start?"

"I know! Tell us how your families reacted to you and Iida telling them the news of you guys being pregnant! I love those stories. No matter how long ago you told me for the first time!"

"That... Far...? Ok then... Well when we went to the Iida family, I felt kinda nervous. I thought that they would judge me for who I am and the fact that we had managed to get pregnant, thanks to a gender-bend quirk. When they first saw me, they thought that Tenya had found the 'perfect girl.' I got a strong wave of body dysphoria and felt like throwing up right on the spot. Thankfully, Tenya sat them down and explained the situation. They were surprisingly supportive and respective."
