💙Chapter 41💙

(this chapter is mainly the aftermath; my ideas have been stewing.)

(Third Person)

Enji Todoroki had been in and out of sleep while in the hospital, undergoing surgery, recovery, and then surgery again.

While he was out, he would have dreams. They were haunting flashbacks of his oldest and youngest, the two children whom he had destroyed.

Tonight was no different from the others as he watched his past actions unfold before him. Yet, to add insult to injury, tonight he had a sweeter dream.

The only time he acted like a father to Y/n.

'How long ago was this? Must've been a while ago now. 15 years maybe?' He thought to himself as his past self strolled through the dark halls of his home, exhausted after a long patrol. He had begun to think back on this night more and more.

He passed by the nursery, where he heard the sound of Shoto crying. He peeked through the door, ready to calm his son.

He saw a baby toy that had been flung out of the crib, and a young baby, Shoto, was crying loudly.

But the shocking sight was Y/n on the floor, with small tears in her eyes.

'Did she get out of the crib somehow?' He says. He's about to step in to help his baby twins, but he notices Y/n grab the sides of the crib with her baby hands, and she pulls herself up.

Enji looks on in shock as she slowly walks over to Shoto's toy, picking it up and stumbling back to the crib.

Her first steps.

He watches, a feeling of something that could only be pride building up in him.

It was the fastest one of the children had learned to walk, and it was also the first time he had seen it in person.

He watches Y/n pass the toy through the gaps of the crib, soothing Shoto's crying.

Enji immediately rushes into the room, picking Y/n up and spinning her in the air.

"You walked!" He said, unable to control the pride and happiness he felt. 

He had never been more proud of his little girl.

Y/n giggled with joy as she was spun, and then laughed more as Enji held her close. 

"I'll be overjoyed if you're my masterpiece, such a smart girl." He says.

Y/n doesn't understand what he means, but she's smiling nonetheless.

In that moment, Enji was convinced that she would be the one with the perfect quirk. He almost hoped it would be her. His attention was brought to the toddler in his arms when she let out a big yawn.

"You need your rest, let's get you to bed." He says. He's going to lay her down in her crib, but when he tries, she begins to cry.

He quickly pulls her back close to him, but tries again. She cries out again, making grabby hands at her dad.

"Dada!"

Enji sighs, but gives in.

He finds a nice chair in the corner of the room, cradling her in his arms. She giggles, snuggling into his warm body.

Shoto has fallen asleep by now, comforted by his toy. Enji watches over his twins, gently rocking Y/n back and forth as she slips into a deep sleep.
