Moment Five: Shouto Todoroki


Hot.

It was entirely to fucking hot.

Groaning as sweat gathered along her brow and dripped down into her eye Kagome Todoroki could only let out an annoyed hiss.

She hated the heat.

Hated sweating.

Hated stinking.

Yet here she was in a tank top and shorts and still sweating like a pig. As large as the Todoroki estate was, it was a traditional home and central air was not one of the luxuries her father in law had splurged on. All his children had inherited their not only his flame quirk but qualities of their mother's.

Unlike her, she, having been a Higurashi before their marriage, had a quirk more suited to barriers and healing. So the summer heat was really putting her through the ringer. The small boxed fan in front of her wasn't even helping, it was just throwing hot air into her face.

Giving an annoyed groan she flopped back onto the traditional floors and let out a low whine. Glancing at the clock she whimpered, Shouto wouldn't be home for another few hours, she didn't know if she could make it that long in this horrid heat.

"Woman, stop your groaning. It's not that hot." Huffing at the gruff voice of her father in law she could only stick her tongue at him. Stupid flaming jerk, he was probably making it even hotter in here just to pick on her.

"It's to hooooot go away!" Huffing at him she hissed as he rolled his eyes but left the room muttering under his breath about spoiled brats.

She wasn't a spoiled brat, she was just normal and normal people melted in 105 degree weather.

"Kagome, father told me you needed me?" Shouto's soft voice made her blink.

"Huh? Oh you're early!" She happily sat up, her limbs eagerly wrapping around her husband's form. Smiling as he lowered the air around them, oh god he was her savior!

Shouto could only grunt as his wife wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist, moving his hands to support her weight by gripping her thighs. She did this every day he got home from work when it was hot like this, he knew today would be a particularly hot day and that she would suffer horridly until he got off work.

Thankfully his father had let him leave the family run agency a bit earlier then normal, Kagome just had this way about her that made you care about her. Not even his gruff father was immune to her charm, in fact he had offered to get central air installed more then once but he had quickly shot it down.

He enjoyed the way Kagome clung to him during the hot months just as much as he loved the way she cuddled into him during the cold ones. It was his one guilty pleasure and he was loath to let either of them go. He figured he had earned the right to indulge himself in this one act.

So it was with a small smirk that he made his way into their shared room, ready to take a shower with his wife and then then just relax the rest of the day.
