-Kaera/Rose's POV-

"Hey, woman! Get a move on!" Endeavor yelled as he shot another fireball at me as I continued running from him, "What the hell has you so distracted?!" Oh I'm sorry. Wouldn't you be distracted after starting a relationship after losing a husband and daughter? No? What the hell? I sighed.

"Sorry, Enji-nii," I teased as I picked up the pace before activating my quirk and batting his fireball away with one of my wings, "I've got a lot on my mind." His face turned a bit red as he stopped and scowled at me, though I've accepted that that is just his face.

"...Why did you call me that?" the large man asked, his voice less harsh than usual as I raised an eyebrow at him, causing him to glare and yell, "I mean what the hell? I asked you a question dammit." I chuckled at this.

"Because, honestly, you're the closest thing I've had to family since getting separated from my family back in the U.S. after my quirk showed up and Santosh and Isha were killed," I admittedly honestly, "You've also provided me guidance on my quirk, granted that's been against your will. Either way, I appreciate it. If you don't like it, I can switch back to Flame Face if you'd prefer." I smirked as I teased him with my last comment and he growled in response.

"... nii-san is fine…" he muttered, flustered a bit by my honesty causing me to smile. Endeavor has definitely made some asshole decisions in his life, but I don't think he's all bad. "Now what the hell has you so distracted? A new boyfriend or something." Now it was my turn to get flustered even though he was joking, he was actually right on the money.

"Maaaayyyybeeeeeee…." I admitted looking to the side, and I felt the air get noticeably hotter causing me to look up to see Enji quite irritated looking. Man, he got into that older brother roll pretty quick.

"Who is it?" he demanded, and I laughed nervously backing up with my hands in front of me defensively.

"Now now Enji-nii, I think you're getting into the spirit of this older brother thing a bit quickly," I teased nervously, trying to lighten the mood.

"Kaera!" he demanded causing me to shout back.

"If you're gonna be my older brother, you should at least call me by my real name! It's Rose. Kaera is what I used to keep anyone from the U.S. to find me!"

"Quit avoiding the topic then, Rose! Tell me who it is!"

"I don't wanna!"

"Rose! Now! Or you're gonna have to do an extra 30 laps!"

"But then I'll be late for work!"

"Then you had best fucking tell me then!"

"Fine! I'm dating All Might!" I finally admitted causing Endeavor to erupt and I dodged the expected fireball.

"You're dating that over positive moron?!" Enji yelled angrily. I glared at him and hit him in the back of the head with my staff.

"Look, Enji-nii, just because he's your rival doesn't mean I'm involved with all that bullshit. I'm literally learning how to use my quirk because I want to live a normal life without fear of it. Y'all's pointless rivalries about hero rankings has nothing to do with me. I met him when he was off duty and started liking him before I knew anything about him being the symbol of peace or whatever. So relax! It's not like I'm gonna bring him here!" I ranted irritatedly, "To me, he's just him. The only thing I care about his hero stuff is that I don't want him getting hurt. Same with yours. As long as both of you are alive and well, I don't care." The flaming hero seemed shocked by my irritated rate and obvious disregard for heroes and their rankings before muttering a small, "fine."

"But if he does anything to hurt you and I have to hear about him all the damn time, I'm burning him to a crisp," he warned, and I laughed as I deactivated my quirk.

"Now that wasn't very hero like, Nii-san! What a bad influence you're being to your new imouto-chan," I teased with a loud laugh as I once again dodged another fireball. He just shook his head at me.

"I'm guessing this is not public information," Enji said seriously and I nodded, "Good. Because the last thing you need right now is a target on your back… Be careful alright? Now go before you're late to work." I looked at the time. 715AM. Shit. I still have to get home and take a shower.

"There's a driver waiting for you at the gate to take you home. I'll see you tomorrow, and remember not to bring that idiot boyfriend of yours here," Enji warned before growling threateningly, "And do NOT be late." I nodded and waved goodbye as I sprinted to where the driver was waiting for me.

~Time Skip brought to you by my obsession with the idea of big brother Endeavor~

"DEKU! YOU DAMN NERD!" was the lovely sound I was welcomed to as I came into my classroom, followed by the sounds of explosions. I sighed and rubbed my temples. It was too early for this shit.

"BAKUGO KATSUKI! SIT YOUR ASS IN YOUR SEAT NOW!" I yelled angrily in English knowing full well that he was one of the only students who would understand what I said. He clicked his tongue and glared at me but did as he was told. I nodded at Midoriya who was currently shaking at his desk. My heart went out to the kid. I couldn't stand bullies.

Shaking my head, I started taking attendance before starting the day's lesson just waiting for work to be over…

~Lunch Time~

I sighed as I walked into the teacher's lounge with a massive headache. To my surprise, there was a small but bright bouquet of red carnations on my desk in the teacher's lounge. I smiled and texted the only person I knew would have sent me flowers, also, the All Might paper they were wrapped in was a dead giveaway.

Me: Thanks for the flowers, Toshi! :)

Toshi: I'm glad you like them!

Toshi: Are we still good to go for dinner tonight?

Me: Of course! Why wouldn't we be?

Toshi: I was just making sure you hadn't changed your mind is all.

Me: No way! You can't get rid of me that easily ;)

Toshi: Wouldn't dream of it 3

I smiled to myself and tried to think of ways to try and boost the poor man's confidence. Toshinori was an amazing man, but I guess due to his weakened state, he felt quite insecure. The thought made my smile change slightly. It wasn't fair.

"What's with that smile, Kaera-chaan? Got a hot date tonight?" Kurosawa teased with a wink, "Cause if not, you totally could. I'm available for dinner." I rolled my eyes at him before suddenly getting an idea.

"Actually yes, I do!" I answered matter-of-factly, "In fact, my boyfriend is picking me up from work today." That caused Kurosawa's eyes to narrow as if questioning whether I was bullshitting or not before smirking.

"Oh really? I would love to meet him," he challenged, and I nodded immediately.

"Of course! No problem," I responded as the lunch bell rang, "Welp. I've got a class to teach. Later."

~Time Skip to End of the School Day~

I was currently outside the school waiting on Toshinori to pick me up. He had texted me during my second to last class of the day telling me he had already used up his hero form time for the day today. That meant he wasn't going to be able to get distracted with heroing on his way to pick me up which I was honestly grateful for. Kurosawa and a couple of the other teachers were waiting around, curious as to just who the abrasive teacher that never let anyone get close to her had claimed to be in a relationship with.

When Toshinori's familiar black sedan pulled up, I had to stop myself from grinning like a damned lovesick teenager. I walked up to the car followed by my coworkers who were trailing a bit behind me. Toshinori opened the door and got out to greet me, glancing nervously at the teachers behind me but maintaining his typical smile.

"Hey!" I greeted him with a smile and a hug, causing gasps from the teachers behind me. Toshinori even froze in shock for a second before returning my hug a bit stiffly.

"Hey," he greeted sweetly in return, relaxing a bit as he placed a soft kiss on the top of my head.

"What the hell? You're dating, Scarecrow-Oji-san?" Kurosawa exclaimed behind me, earning snickers from the other teachers, and I felt Toshinori stiffen and his smile became more forced. I pulled back from my comfortable place in Toshinori's arms to glare at the idiot who was making a racket.

"Kurosawa, I think you're just jealous because he's actually able to get a girlfriend, unlike you," I yelled back irritatedly, "By the way, just because we teach middle schoolers doesn't mean we should act like them. Now grow up, and leave us alone." With that I grabbed Toshinori's hand and dragged him back to the car. After we both got in, he had a death grip on the steering wheel and his smile faltered.

"Rose… I'm sorry about that," he apologized after some time, his voice sounding strained, "Your colleagues are ridiculing you because of me." We had arrived outside of a cute little family restaurant and were currently parked. I grabbed his hands that were in his lap causing him to look at me. His expression was heartbreaking and clearly upset. It didn't suit him one bit. I reached up and kissed him gently on the lips.

"Toshi, clearly my colleagues are morons. I'm with you because I know you're an amazing person, and by some stroke of luck, you want to be with me, so ignore them," I stated with a reassuring smile of my own as I reached up, cupping his cheek with my hand and stroking it comfortingly with my thumb. This caused him to turn towards me with a small smile of his own before grabbing my face with both of his big, warm hands and pulling me in for a sweet kiss before pulling away with a huge smile that was damn near blinding.

"Now come on. I have a date with this beautiful woman, and I really don't want to keep her waiting anymore," he teased with a wink causing my face to flush a bit as he got out of the car and quickly came around to my side, opening the door for me like a gentleman.

~Time Skip to After Dinner Brought to You by my daughter learning how to say the word yayyyyy~

We had reached the apartments and were currently standing outside our two apartments before I decided to ask him something.

"Toshi," I called nervously causing him to look up from where he was placing his key inside his door, "Do you um… want to come over and maybe watch a movie or something?"

He looked at me and smiled warmly, nodding as he removed his key and came inside my apartment. After removing our shoes, we both sat on the couch, him a space over from me, obviously not wanting to push me too much. I smiled at this. This man was way too damn thoughtful sometimes. I scooted over next to him leaning on his shoulder trying to encourage him a bit. He took the hint and laid down too, holding me from behind.

"Are you comfortable, Rose?" Toshinori asked nervously. For being the symbol of peace and number one hero with a crap ton of fangirls and stuff, he really didn't seem used to any kind of relationship stuff. Little did he know, despite my blunt exterior and such, I'm a sucker for cuddling. This being said, I rolled over till I was facing him and hugged him burying my face into his chest.

"Very," I mumbled, comforted by his warm cedar scent. His chest rumbled as he chuckled and pulled me into him and pressed his lips to my forehead.

"Toshinori," I mumbled moving my face to the crook of his shoulder and neck, my warm breath causing him to shutter a bit as he hummed in response, "I'm sleepy." He chuckled again before pulling me back a bit so he could look at me.

"Do I need to go home and let you sleep?" he asked, his blue eyes looking a bit disappointed but understanding nonetheless. I shook my head and felt my face flush as I hugged him tightly.

"Please stay," I begged, my voice barely audible, but the tightening of Toshinori's thin but muscular arms around my waist confirmed that he had in fact heard me.

"Of course. I'll always be here when you need me," he murmured sweetly as he stroked my hair. In seconds, I was asleep in the arms of the man who made me feel safer than I ever had.
