⇢ Chapter 8.

Touya was at home alone enjoying his peace since Tomura hasn't been there for a few days when he heard a knock at the door. "Who is it?!" Touya yelled as he was about to open the door.

"Grumpy, now open the damn door." Shota yells back. Touya surprised to see Shota opens the door with a smile. "Oh, wow you coming to see me? Did you finally realize how much you want me?" Touya says with a sly smile.

Shota looks at Touya who is standing there with sweatpants on and shirtless showing off his body. "My husband has a better body then you so why would I downgrade?" Shota snaps back making Touya laugh.

"Anyways, I'm here because of Eri. She needs your help." Shota says. Shota and Touya walks in Shota's house and as soon as Eri saw Touya she squealed.

"Touya, yay, you're here!! Great, you can help Daddy." Eri says, all excited. "Okay Kitty, show me the video of the hairstyle you want." Touya says as Eri drags him to the kitchen.

Today was a special event at Hizashi's and Hitoshi's school and Eri is Hizashi's date for the event. So she wanted to look extra pretty and wanted a hairstyle she saw on YouTube. Poor Shota tried to do it but it was looking like a hot mess. That's when Eri remembered that Touya told her that he used to do his sister's hair all the time so she ask, or more like demand, Shota to ask Touya to help.

"Oh, I see where you was messing up at. Dutch braides are little harder to do when you're not use to it. Okay Kitty, I got this. I'll make your hair look better than the video." Touya says as he starts doing Eri's hair.

"So why aren't you going to the party?" Touya asked. "I have to finish my book. I been behind so Nemuri has been on my ass." Shota says as he watches Touya work his magic on Eri's hair. "Yeah, Daddy been busy with other stuff so Auntie Nemuri got mad and she scary when she mad." Eri says, shivering as if she got scared.

"Oh, the black hair hottie I see sometimes? She has some nice big bo-" Touya unable to finish since Shota gave him the death stare. "Auntie Nemuri has big boobs, Denki and Sero loves to look at them. And I heard Deku almost died once." Eri says nonchalantly.

Touya unable to hold his laugh back just dies of laughter and Shota just shakes his head in disappointment, Eri really knows a lot. After finally calming down, Touya asks Shota what he is writing about and Eri answers him, "it's a romance story. Yuki Shoto."

"Eri!!" Shota says in shock.

"Wait, you're Yuki Shoto?" Touya asks in shock.

"Sorry Daddy, I forgot it's a secret." Eri says sadly. "Don't worry, Kitty. I won't say anything. I love Yuki Shoto's books." Touya says.

"You read romance novels?" Shota ask surprised. "Yeah, it's good so what's this one about?" Touya questions, really wanting to know.

"It's about a baker who is in her 30's and used to being alone but one day, a tattoo shop opens up next door and the owner is a young guy in his 20's. She is annoyed by him but then she sees he's not a bad guy just because he's young and has tattoo. They bond over their love for sweets." Eri says as if she swoon over the love story. Shota just smiles as Eri describes the book.

"Wow, that sounds good. I wonder who's was your inspiration." Touya ask, already knowing the answer. "Papa!" Eri answers. Touya looks confused for a moment and says, "ah I thought I was since I gave you the cake and I'm the annoying young guy with tattoos next door."

"No, Papa lived next door before you, and he annoyed Daddy a lot.. he still does." Eri says with a laugh.

"Yeah, he was my dumbass neighbor who ended up being my dumbass husband." Shota laughs and then realize that may be a good name for a book.

"But, the cake you gave to Eri gave me the idea for the baker so thanks, I guess." Shota added. "Cool, I better get credit for it like maybe I can get a copy before it goes on sale?" Touya asks hoping Shota will say yes.

"Maybe, I'll see. Hey, hurry up we have to leave soon the event is about to start soon." Shota rushes them as soon as he realized the time.

Touya rushes to finish Eri hair and after adding some finishing touches like flower in the braids and a pretty ribbon, Eri was done.

"Wow, Touya it looks amazing. Thank you, thank you." Eri squeals happly as she jumps on Touya. "You're welcome, Kitty, anything for you." Touya says as he hugs Eri.

Eri runs upstairs to put on her dress making sure Touya doesn't leave yet so he can see her.

"Thanks for your help, there was no way I could do her hair like that. Usually, Zashi would do it, he surprisedly good at it but he had to be at the school earlier so he didn't have time." Shota says. "It's cool, it's pretty simple once you get use to it." Touya says as he sits down.

"Um, if you're not doing anything tomorrow, wanna come over for dinner? Eri wanted to invite you and as thanks for doing her hair. Also, Zashi wanted to meet this famous Touya, Eri always talks about." Shota says with a small laugh.

"Yeah, I'm free but it has to be before 8. I have to be at work at 10, Saturday's nights are busy so I have to be in earlier. It takes me over an hour to get there." Touya says.

"Yeah, that's fine I was thinking like 5. Zashi will be done with his coaching at 3, and Hitoshi will be home this weekend." Shota says.

"Cool, I'll be here and I'll pick up a cake for Kitty from Chiyo since she loves her granny's cake. And I'll bring wine too." Touya says with a smile.

"Are you even old enough to buy it?" Shota teases Touya. Touya just laughs and both being teasing each other until Eri came running down in her pretty flower dress.

"Don't I look beautiful?!" Eri says as she spins around. "You look like an angel. I am not worthy of being in such an angelic presence." Touya says over dramatically as he falls to his knee, bowing to Eri.

Eri just laughs and smiles at Touya and begins laughing harder when Touya grabs Shota to bow down as well.

"Us mortals must bow down to our angel." Touya says as he make Shota bow. Shota laughs as he bows his head, "My beautiful angel, I thank God every day for blessing me with such a wonderful child." Shota adds making Eri blush.

"Daddy!! Touya, please stop, it's embarrassing." Eri gushes making both Shota and Touya laugh.

They both get up and finally leave the house so Shota can take Eri to the event. "Thanks again, Touya." Shota says as he walks with Eri.

"Yes, thank you Touya!! See you for dinner tomorrow!! And get a chocolate cake!!" Eri yells.

"You got it, Kitty!" Touya yells back to see Eri waving bye.

"She is too cute. I can't believe she's related to that bastard Chiaka." Touya thought as he went inside his place.
