My p.o.v

Our clothes were done from this morning now so I took Nikki hers and head upstairs to change before I head to the market.

I pause staring at the wall next to the bed on the far side. Tilting my head the line dissappears blinking I walk over and start looking closer.

Now that I was actually looking I see a slight handle that blend in with the plants draping down the ceiling.

"No way…." Turning the handle I find a huge Master bath with a shower, claw foot deep tub that even would hide Gummy, a bowl type sink all a deep blue with green and gold accents.

"NIKKI!!!!!" I call mouth open as I walk in.

I hear hurried footsteps then a "Holy shit."

"Dude, secret bathroom...which probably means with these extras there's more to this house." I say looking around seeing even more plants and even some fish in an self-control echo system.

"I wondered why I felt so high up. I was just about to call you down, below my room is a storage room full of camping gear and other random shit." She says inspecting the bathroom.

"How fucking extra are these people? Like what the fuck…." I mutter shaking my head. "Welp at least we don't have to share a bathroom anymore."

"Dude I'm going to come up here one day and you're just gonna be dead, cause you're just gonna drown in this tub."

I nod agreeing with her. "Probably. "

She shakes her head. "Well then I'm going to see what else I can find."

Chuckling I watch her walk out deciding to shower before I leave. I grab some clothes and a towel before stripping off the hoodie putting it back the way I found it.

Malik curls up on the bed sleeping peacefully.

I quickly shower and dress in jeans and a tank top opening the door drying my hair.

I jump seeing Gummy shirtless his arms in the arms of the hoodie I just got out of.

"Sorry! I didn't think you were home yet." I apologize trying not to stare cause damn I just wanted to jump him.

He still wasn't as big as he needed to be for hero work yet as it did take time to gain weight.

"There's a bathroom in here?" He questions seeming to try and ignore the fact his face was red.

"Uh yeah just found it a bit ago actually. " I reply tossing the towel in the hamper.

As I turn back he had pulled the hoodie over his head but had paused and was taking a deep breath.

"Oh, I kinda stole that for a bit...I ran out of tops." I explain laughing nervously rubbing the back of my head. "Sorry I should have asked first, I just didn't want to bug you again at work. "

He finishes pulling it on face red now. "It's okay just surprised me is all. So how did shopping go? Any trouble? "

Brushing my hair facing him. "Nope. Just got a couple weeks of clothes and a few things. We did run into AllMight and his disciple though. Oh and Nikki scared some people by drinking frosting from a cup. Nothing out of the norm though. "

He blinks. "Drinking frosting? "

I shrug tossing my hair into a clip. "Yup. Normal Nikki stuff. I wouldn't question her sweet tooth."

I slid my keys and wallet into my pockets along with the new phone. Though I only carried it so they could track me as I didn't care to play on the internet or watch things here. None of the music or shows caught my interest.

"So going to take a nap? Want anything from the market? " I question looking around seeing if I forgot anything.

All my soaps and goods were in boxes and a couple bags on the dining room table downstairs.

He shakes his head smiling. "Yup, patrolling at night is tiring. "

"Well get some rest, Maliks staying home today so he'll keep you company. I'll wake you for dinner. " I say walking out waving.

I don't see Nikki as I grab the market stuff and head out. I nearly bump into someone on the step.

Turning so I could see who it was I see Dabi. "Hey, sorry bout that. What are you doing here?"

He walks beside me seems neither of us wanted the Hero upstairs to look out and see him. Though he didn't know that I knew why.

"So what was that shit last week? You throw the number one hero across town like it was nothing and then I see that old scaly bastard here this morning?" He demands looking down at me and I swear I could see his eyes glowing like embers.

"I was drunk and under extreme emotional distress. I broke my engagement and needed space but drank too much. I was going to leave and some guy wouldn't take no as an answer I mistook AllMight because he grabbed my shoulder right after I smacked the other dudes hand off me." I say shrugging, I had no reason to hide it from him.

"Hand dude? He was trying to get me to join his League. I told him I'd think about it. I'm going to do what benefits me most in the long run, I have plans and if being a villain gets those goals done then I'll be one." I explain tilting my head at him. "You have your own goals I have mine. I'd just rather not be enemies as you've somewhat grown on me. Though it is concerning how you're stalking me." I add smirking at his look of surprise.

I had noticed he had followed me around and would watch the house. I wasn't blind and Nikki knew as well. We both were curious as to why he took such an interest in us though.

"Don't Think too highly of yourself kid." He comments.

I shake my head a bit offended. "Why do people keep calling me that? Like seriously I'm not a kid, I may be short but fuck I'm a motherfucking adult. Call me kid again and you'll be forever known as crispy old man or old fart."

He blinks before laughing at me. "Old fart? Seriously?"

I join him laughing pushing him away with a shoulder as we neared the market. "Yes now git. You'll scare away my customers. Go stalk some other person."

He rolls his eyes walking away while I go to my booth and start displaying the things. I mostly sold soap but I had some cologne and perfumes, lotions and some homemade bread. Also some herbs seems we didn't use that much compared to how much we had growing around the house.

"This soap, is it any good? What's it made from?"

Turning to face the person I give a warm smile. Hiding my surprise at the fact it was Overhaul but without his mask.

"I would hope so, as I make everything here with care and all organic. All ingredients I make at home with what nature provides. Even the paper is made from pressed rose petals." I answer watching him nod inspecting the soap smelling it.

"It also holds a moisturizing element so it won't dry out your hands. I tested it under black light and it eliminates more germs than regular soap." I add knowing perfectly well he was a germ afobe.

His eyes narrow at me as he set the soap down. "Where's the proof of this claim?"

I pull out the black light and motion for his hands, he nods for one of his men to instead.

I shine the light on his hands seeing lots of germs light up. Putting down the light I pull out a box of gloves and put some on and wash his hands one with normal soap and the other with my soap. I pour some water over them from a water bottle before drying them and shining the light back on them.

It was clear my soap was superior.

"Show me." Overhaul demands putting his hands out.

I bite my tongue to keep from laughing, I was going to make this man puddy. I wanted Eerie safe and away from him, least until Nikki and I straightened him out.

I shine the light on his hands noticing a small crowd beginning to form. His hands had germs light up but not as many as his lacky.

Looking disgusted he nods for the soap. I change the gloves and wash his hands repeating the process I did with his lacky.

"I'll take ten." He says slipping on his gloves again.

"Alright which scents?" I question grabbing a bag waiting for home to choose some scents I had about six scents right now.

He points and I grab them packing them. I grab a pastry putting it in a box handing them over once I had the cash.

"I didn't ask for the sweet." He says jaw clenched.

"I'm aware. It's for the little one at home. You have the look." I say waving him off turning to the next customer.

I could feel his eyes on me as I bagged another order smiling and making idle chat.

"You have the best soap I've ever used I wish I could find it in the store!" The lady says handing me her money while taking the bag.

I return her smile. "Well its just me making it, there's no way I could supply the stores. As it is I barely have enough for here the couple days I do come."

I see Overhaul saunter away seeming to be in deep thought as a bigger lady with beautiful long blonde hair walks over.

Her husband stood behind her hands already full of bags with food in his arms.

"Chikyu! Come look at these! Don't they smell good? Oh! Those pastries look wonderful!" She says as the tall man smiles coming behind her nodding his yellow eyes and sandy hair reminding me of someone.

"Thank you Ma'am you'll you like to try one?" I offer.

I really only brought the pastries to give out as they weren't worth much anyway. But I enjoyed seeing people bite into them and smile at the taste. It brought a little joy into my life.

"Oh yes please! Thank you so much! It's not often we come into the city and find nice people." She exclaims smiling seeming like a bubble of sunshine.

I hand her and her husband a pastry. "Why thank you. I know what you mean I used to live in the country and miss how open it is and peaceful. I used to love just laying outside watching the stars next to a fire."

Returning her smile i couldn't help but relax, she just gave off that mother's vibe that made everything feel so right and safe.

She beams at me biting into the Danish. "Oh my! These are heavenly! You must not be from around here though, if I may where is it you're from dear?"

I brush my hair out of my face looking away. "From America."

"Long way from home. What brought you here?" The deep voice asked surprising me as her her husband actually spoke.

"Well guess I was just needed here." I respond feeling uncomfortable but hiding it behind a smile.

They buy a couple soaps and colognes and such from me also wiping out all the baked goods the lady chatting about her son who worked here and how he was such a good man that just needed to settle down and didn't visit nearly as much as he should.

They leave and not a half hour later I was wiped out of supplies so I packed the boxes down and started back home.

It had been a good day, I stop by a couple stalls as I passed grabbing some stuff for dinner before finally leaving.

Once home I check on Gummy finding him snoring with Malik laying on his chest making me chuckle the two were cute.

I find Nikki working out and going through her tempo movements. She waved and I went back upstairs after returning her wave.
