Natsuo was sat at the kitchen table, drinking coffee when his little brother walked in. "So...?" He wiggled his brows.

Shoto rolled his eyes. "What? I'm not allowed to stay over at a friend's house?"

"Oh, you're allowed. But it's not something you do. I mean, you never even mention having friends." He went to the fridge and took out an iced coffee and put it on the table. "Sit."

Shoto sighed, but obliged.

"So, what's she like? This lady friend of yours."

Shoto stared at his can. "She's... interesting." He didn't know how to describe the green-eyed girl.

"Is she a nice person?"

"Of course. Once you get to know her."

"So, what's caught your interest? It can't just be because she's nice."

Shoto shrugged. "I don't know. I've only known her properly for a week. She's just different."

"Shoto!"

The boys jumped at the sound of their father's booming voice.

"Uh oh. I said nothing, I swear." Natsuo held up his hands.

Shoto exhaled and got up, before heading to his father's office.

"Yes, dad?" He stepped inside and closed the door.

"Where were you last night?"

Shoto didn't meet his eyes. "I stayed over at a friend's house."

His father folded his arms. "And why couldn't you just tell me?"

"It was spur of the moment."

"Which friend was it? Midoriya?"

Shoto swallowed. I can't lie to him. "Sano."

His father's eyes widened. "You stayed at a girl's house?"

"It wasn't like that."

His father sat down. "How was it, then?"

Shoto sat too. "She was alone in the house she shared with her brother... she didn't want to be alone, so I went over."

"It's rare you'd do such a thing... maybe that school has made you more thoughtful towards others." Endeavour gave a rare smile. "If this is the effect Sano's having on you, I have to thank her as well as apologise about her brother."

"Sano also said she's willing to meet with you. Just not right now."

Endeavour's eyes lit up. "Thank you, son."

Shoto remembered something. "Father, can I ask you something?"

He nodded.

"Is there anything in our library about quirks in twins?"

"There's bound to be. Why do you ask?"

Shoto tapped his chin. "Just something I want to look into. I've never met a twin with a quirk before."

"Yeah, it is rare. Normally either one or both twins would be born quirkless."

"Do you mind if I go and look now before I head back to UA?" He stood up.

Endeavour nodded. "Go ahead."

Shoto headed for the door.

"Shoto!"

He looked back at his father.

"She's good for you..." He smiled. "Don't make the same mistake I did and marry out of greed... marry out of love."

Shoto blushed. "I plan to... but like I said, Sano and I aren't like that." He left, closing the door behind him.

Endeavour chuckled. "Stubborn boy."

After eating at Hitoshi's, Kahoko and Natsume went home so Kahoko can prepare for going back to UA.

After erasing all evidence of Shoto staying over, including cleaning the bedding, she sat in her room, listening to Tamaki's music.

Natsume knocked on the door. "Kaho-nee, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, you can come in."

He walked in. "You don't seem yourself today. When I came home, you gave off this warm emotion... you felt happy, now it seems confused." He sat on her bed. He could hear the music coming from her headphones, which she put around her neck, so she could hear him. "Is that Tama-nii's music? His Battle-cries?"

She nodded. "I found it in his room last night."

Natsume leaned in closer. "I miss him."

She put her arm around him. "We all do, but with this, we have a part of him still with us."

He nodded. "It was nice of Todoroki-nii to come and see you."

"Yes, it was. I think... he's a good friend."

"I'm happy that you're finally starting to open up to people."

"Thanks to you and Hitoshi."

He giggled.

"Natsu... have you ever heard me singing?"

"Yeah... and no offence, I wish I hadn't... you sound terrible."

She laughed. "I thought so." She petted his head. "Thanks for being honest." Her phone beeped.

"You're popular now." Natsume nudged her arm, before getting up and leaving her to her own privacy.

"Seems so." She read the message.

My dad wasn't too pleased I stayed out. - Todoroki.

Kahoko gave a laugh. Tell him I'm sorry for keeping you away. - Sano.

Shoto smiled at the screen as he was sat with an open book in front of him. He sighed. I'm glad I came over. Although he seemed to seem a little too happy that I did once I said that it was you. - Todoroki.

What do you mean? - Sano.

He seems to think we're... you know. - Todoroki. He blushed. Why did I press send? I seriously have no filter when it comes to her.

Oh... well it's understandable, you did just randomly stay at a girl's house. Something which I don't think is a normal thing for you. - Sano.

He smirked. What makes you say that? - Todoroki.

Unless there's a girlfriend you didn't tell me about... - Sano.

Kahoko stared at the phone screen. Why am I so bothered about whether he has a girlfriend or not?

Nope... never had one of those. - Todoroki.

She snorted. Someone that handsome... has never dated? Her phone beeped again.

I prefer to train rather than look for one. - Todoroki.

She nodded to herself. That way he doesn't get hurt, and from what he said about his mom and dad, I don't blame him for keeping girls away. She typed two words back. Good idea. - Sano.

Shoto sat back in his chair. Talking to her really does make me feel calm... even through text. He continued to read.

After a few minutes his eyes widened. "No way!" He breathed.
