Back at the EraserMic house Hizashi is totally unaware of the young love blooming slowly as he quietly paces the front room with Tofu laying on his left arm purring while stroking his soft fur with the other.
"I know bubs, we have gone over this many times. I don't know why the hero commission has elected to write your dad off as a casualty without even looking for him longer than a day," the blonde man sighs. Taking a few steps towards the sofa he gently sets the black and white kitty down next to Mochi who opens one eye to peek at what's going on. After scratching Mochi behind her ear in her favorite spot, Mic heads to the kitchen to pour himself something stronger than tea.
After taking a few small sips of his scotch the voice hero takes a seat at the bar counter. "Oh Sho, where are you my love..?" The blonde man asked the void while covering his face with his hands with a deep sigh.
A little while later Hizashi is awoken by little Eri crying in her room. As he is getting up from the chair both Mochi and Tofu take off in the direction of Eri's room. When the exhausted voice hero makes it to her room he sees both kitties curled up around the little girl soothing her the only way they know how, with purrs. "Hey little listener, papa's here for you" he whispers, sitting down on the bed and pulling the girl into his lap. "Hey baby girl talk to papa, let's take deep breaths okay? Ready? In, one two three. Out, one two three four. Again ok? In, one two three four. Out one two three four five. Good job sweets. Now, are you ready to talk to papa or do you need another moment?" The not so loud man asked the still shaking girl in his lap. "I miss daddy," the white haired little girl hiccuped into Hizashi's chest. "I keep having dreams that we will never see him again and it makes me sad. I want daddy to come home now, I don't want to never see him again." She mumbled cuddling closer into her papa's chest. "I know little listener I miss your daddy too." He said into the little girl's hair, rubbing circles in her small back.
After a while Hizashi goes to lay little Eri back in her bed thinking that she's back asleep. "Papa please don't. W-will you stay with me please. I don't want to be alone tonight. The girl cries, gripping her papa's shirt, scared that if she lets go he too will be gone. The look on her face absolutely broke his heart, and with a small sniffle oh his own Hizashi holds his baby girl close and they both fall into a sort of slumber.
