Chapter 2: First day

Hayato slowly moves out of the bed to not disrupt Saori's slumber and makes his way into the bathroom to take a quick shower. After the shower he goes into the closest and opens up the chest that contains his hero suit. A long dark coat with dark blue outline fastened with black belts,a long black cape,black combat boots,black gloves and twin daggers.

"Good everything is here,guess I should head to the living room so I don't wake up Saori." Hayato closes up the chest and carries it by it's handle and slowly makes his way to the bedroom door. He takes a quick glance at Saori to see if he woke her up."Good she's still asleep." He slowly opens the door and closes it to gear up in the living room. Saori rustles in her bed and notices the lack of body warmth coming from her significant other. She sits up on the bed and rubs her eyes to wake up and shake off any tiredness she's feeling and makes her way to the bedroom door. But before that she notices her husband's mask left on his nightstand. The mask covers the lower part of the face and leaves the wearer's eyes in view. It resembles a demon's mouth in a way. Saori puts on the mask and as it clumsily rests on her face she makes her way to the door.

Saori walks out of the bedroom into the living room and softly greets Hayato."I'm sorry did I wake you up Saori?" Saori tries her best dark and broody impression

"My name is not Saori it's hyorinmaru'' Saori takes off the mask and hands it over.

"Thank you rose witch"

"Ha ha very funny" "Well you started it '' Saori playfully punches Hayato's arm and makes her way to the kitchen. She reaches into the refrigerator to grab a bento box with the name "Hayato'' written on it. "And here's your lunch"

"What would I do without you"

"You'd be living off of insta ramen and horrible fast food breakfast." Hayato slightly blushes from embarrassment. Hayato makes his way to the front door and Saori follows him to kiss him goodbye and wishes him good luck on this job.

"3 o'clock right?"

"Yep and if anything happens let me know so I can pick up Snow."

"Of course,I love you Saori."

"I love you too Hayato." After they said their goodbyes Hayato goes into his car and drives off while Saori is preparing breakfast for Snow.

Saori is making pancakes with chocolate chips in it along with making freshly squeezed orange juice. After she's done making a few pancakes she makes her way into Snow's bedroom and slowly opens the door. Snow's room is filled with tons of hero memorabilia, mostly of the grim reapers. She sits on the edge of Snow's bed and softly places her hand on his shoulder. Speaking very softly "Snow sweetie it's time to wake up, don't want to be late for your first day." Snow slowly wakes up and rubs his eyes to shake any tiredness he has.

"Good morning mommy"

Saori smiling and replying"Good morning snow, come on I have breakfast ready. But first go brush your teeth and get dressed." Snow rushes to the bathroom and Saori walks back to the kitchen to make the remainder of the breakfast. Before brushing his teeth Snow switches out of his pajamas. He decides to wear a black t-shirt with a minimalistic design of Eyepatch and wears a white pair of shorts and blue sneakers to complete his outfit. Snow brushes his teeth and decides to brush his hair but the hairbrush gets tangled in his hair.

"Mom, I need help." Snow said while having a hairbrush tangled in his hair.

"Coming sweetie" She opens the door to Snow's bedroom and tries to suppress her laughter seeing the mess her son is in. "Go to the bathroom and sit down in front of the mirror so I can help you untangle your hair". Saori pulls up a chair from the kitchen and places it in front of the mirror and stands behind Snow fixing his hair."You know Snow when I was younger I had a similar hairstyle like yours."

"Really! What did you look like." Saori pulls her phone from her robe pocket and looks through her gallery to find a picture of when she was a hero.

"Found it! Here's what I looked like before you were born."

"Wow you look really cool, mommy and is that daddy next to you?" Hayato's outfit in its most basic form was just a kevlar long sleeve shirt along with kevlar pants,his trademark mask and twin daggers. As for Saori, first her hair was much shorter as opposed to now. She had short hair and long bangs that covered her right eye. Her hero outfit consisted of a witch hat,a red scarf,red sleeve gloves,a white sleeveless button down shirt with a red rose in the middle of her chest,a red cloak and red high heel boots.

"Yeah your dad has had a change of multiple costumes throughout the years."

"How come you're no longer a hero mommy?"

"Well I can't be in two places at once silly and I wanted to be with as much as I can." Saori and Snow talked for a bit more while Saori was fixing his hair."And done. Now you really look like me if your hair grows out longer."

"Thank you mommy"

"You're welcome Snow,now you go have breakfast while I get change ok."

"Ok!" Snow hurries to the kitchen and sits down in front of a plate of pancakes and orange juice. Saori walks into her room and opens up the closet and she puts on a shirt with a blue rose design on the front,light blue jeans and black sneakers. Before she leaves the room she almost forgot to put on her heart shaped locket necklace. Inside the locket there were 2 pictures. On the right side it was the wedding day for Saori and Hayato and on the left side was a picture of the Arisato family when Snow first turned 5. Saori walks out of the room and joins Snow for breakfast.

"I LOVE these pancakes mommy."

"I'm glad you love them Snow." The two enjoy breakfast in silence together. Once finished Saori is washing dishes while Snow gets his backpack filled with school supplies.

"I'm ready mommy" Saori smiles at Snow and opens up the door and they walk towards Saori's car. Saori helps Snow buckle in the booster seat and Saori makes her way to the driver's seat. She puts on her seat belt,starts up the car, adjusts the rear-view mirror,looks back to see she's clear to back up and with that they're on their way to Aptos elementary school. "Mommy can you please play music."

"Sure sweetie, what do you want to listen to?"

"Hmmm that one song called Heroes' ' Saori would often play music while doing house chores or planning out ideas for her flower shop and one of her favorite bands was Brian and the suns and loved the song Heroes. Eventually Snow also became attached to the band and the song."Ok once there's a red light I'll play the song." Saori comes to a stop at an intersection,she connects her phone to the aux cord and starts playing the requested song. Both of them are humming the song in unison while driving through the streets of Aptos. Before they know it they're right in front of the school. They arrived 10 minutes before the school officially opened so that Saori could be acquainted with Snow's teacher. Saori exits the car and helps Snow out of the car and before they make their way to school Saori makes sure to lock her car doors. With that done Snow grabs her mothers hand and they walk towards the school front approaches the front desk and speaks to the staff member

"Hi my name is Saori Arisato I spoke with a teacher that wanted to see me,her name was Haruka Shinozaki."

"Ah yes, Haruka's classroom is on the 2nd floor all the way to the right just take those stairs to your left."

"Thank you so much." Saori and Snow make their way up the stairs and walk down the hallway that leads to Haruka's classroom. Saori knocks on the door and says "Hello? it's me Saori '' The door opens and standing in front of Snow and Saori was an energetic has long black hair tied in a ponytail,she wore a white cardigan over her black button down shirt,black pants and high heel shoes.

"Hello there you must be " Haruko kneels down to Snow's level. "And you must be my new student Snow. Come on in you two." All three of them walk through the door,Saori and Snow sit down in front of Haruka's desk. "Sorry for calling you out here Arisato I-"Saori interrupts Haruko.

"Please just call me Saori" Saori said with a smile.

"Oh that's no problem but as I was saying sorry for bringing you out here Saori. I just really want to meet the parents of my students."

"Oh that's no problem at all, it's also a plus that I get to meet new people considering we moved in a month ago."

"Oh right you told me over the phone that you guys just recently moved here in Aptos."

"mmhmm it's definitely an adjustment period.I'm used to moving to new places every 3 months or so due to my husband's job."

"If you don't mind me asking, what does your husband do?"

"ummm well he's a hero that gets called all around the world due to the agency he works at."

"That has to have some nice perks right?"

"It definitely does,it's how I was lucky enough to meet Hayato." Saori says this with a slight blush all while smiling at her wedding ring. "Oh sorry,here I am talking about myself when I'm here for Snow."

"It's alright I enjoyed hearing about your life but to change the topic. What do you want to do when you get older Snow?"

"I want to become a hero like the grim reapers and my dad."

"I'm sure you can do that Snow!" Haruka says with enthusiasm and continues with another question."What's your quirk Snow? Mine is making small objects to float to me." Haruka says while demonstrating her quirk. A sticker page floats towards her and she peels off an all might sticker to give to Snow. "This is for you." Haruka extends her hand with the sticker to Snow.

"Thank you!" Snow takes the sticker and places it on his backpack. "Oh and my quirk is just like my dad's, it's called something zero."

Saori lets out a small laugh and says "It's called absolute zero."

"Yeah that's the word."

"With a name like that I can imagine you can freeze things."

Saori starts to talk "In a sense yes but the difference is the user needs to use their own blood."

Haruka tilts her head in confusion. "How exactly does that work, Saroi?"

"Well… the user is able to excrete blood from their body and freeze it. The process is painless once you understand how the quirk works."

"I can see how that works. Is Snow taking any classes for quirk training?"

"Hayato plans to teach Snow by the end of the week."

"It's good to start him early, especially with a quirk like that. I think that's enough of getting to know each other. It was a pleasure to meet you, Saori. Haruka stands up from her desk and extends her arm out for a handshake. Saori smile's and returns the handshake

"Likewise Haruka." Saori hugs Snow one last time before walking out the class but something catches her eye. It was an attendance chart. "Hey I know this girl, it's Saya Sasaki." Haruka walks over to the attendance chart and stands beside Saori.

"Do you know the Sasaki's?"

"Yeah I met them when Snow was in preschool. Saya and Snow have been friends since forever."

"That's nice." Haruka say's while walking towards Snow she kneels down to his level."Say Snow, would you like to sit next to Saya?" Snow's eyes widened at the question and he made the biggest smile possible.

"YEAH!" Saori says her goodbyes again to both Snow and Haruka but she remembers something to tell Haruka.

"Uhh Haruka I want to let you know that my husband Hayato will be picking up Snow today."

"Oh good can't wait to meet him and once again Saori it was nice meeting you." Saori smiles and nods in agreement and leaves the classroom.

10 minutes pass and Students start flooding into Haruka's classroom and take their seats."Good Morning class." Haruka says and in unison all of the students greet Haruka with high enthusiasm and big smiles.

"GOOD MORNING ."

"Today class we have a new student." Haruka ushers Snow to come out from the back of the class to stand in the front. "Everyone, this is Snow Arisato. Say hi Snow and tell us a little bit about yourself." Saya immediately notices the boy and starts waving her hand furiously to get the boy's attention.

Snow notices her and says "Hi Saya and hello everyone ummm I like heroes and I have my dad's quirk." Snow faces towards Haruka and asks " can I show my quirk?" Haruka is hesitant to answer the question with her somewhat limted knowledge of how the quirk works but decides to give the go ahead.

"Yes you may Snow." With that Snow extends his arm and tries to make a snowflake. All the students look in amazement as Snow is using his quirk. Instead of making a snowflake Snow makes a small pile of well snow in the palm of his hand. Snow looks a bit sad until Saya says

"Wow that's so cool Snow!" and the rest of the class chimes in and share their amazement at Snow. This brings Snow's mood up and starts to smile while scratching the back of his head. Haruka sighs in relief and begins to talk.

"Thank you for sharing that with us Snow." Haruka says with a smile and continues. "Now how about you go sit next Saya so I can start teaching." Snow nods and walks towards the desk next to Saya. And with that Snow's first school day starts.

Author's note:

So first off happy belated thanksgiving hope everyone had a great thanksgiving mine was pretty uneventful but I did eat a lot so there's that. Now onto the stuff I wanted to talk about

I got rid of the older Snow narration because it's easier to have a general narration opposed to having Snow reminisce on his past. This chapter was definitely as long as the first chapter but better constructed(at least I hope so) and finally gave descriptions on what the Arisato family looks like. But for something a bit more descriptive Hayoto is 6'3 with an above average body build,red eyes and short black hair. Saori post retirement has long light blue hair around shoulder length,her height is 5'9 and has cerulean eyes. For Snow he has dark blue hair and bangs similar to Saori in her hero days,average height for a 5 year old(don't exactly know that off the top of my head lol) and has cerulean eyes like Saori. And for the most part these designs will stay the same until a time skip happens which won't be until chapter 5 maybe. I wanted Snow to resemble his mother more in appearance and later on as he gets older he resembles his father personality wise but still keeps some individuality. The next chapter will focus on 3 characters I've introduced that deserve some shine that being Hayato,Saori and Saya so it might be another long one see you guys until then.
