Chapter 17: Happy Birthday, Daddy!

A/N: I've had several people point out to me about the reader's birth control in the bonus chapter and how Venom cleaned it from her system in the previous chapter. So I went back and changed that small part in the bonus lemon chapter to where the reader's character put in birth control.Also, this is chapter is dedicated to Red-Haired Shanks because today is his birthday!

The next morning Toshinori is woken up by the ringing of your cell phone.

"Making a delivery, of Bink's sake through the sea.

Through today and through tomorrow all your dreams will lay.

Say goodbye should we depart, and keep your memories in your heart.

Don't you frown and don't feel down but live to seize the day."

"(Y/N)-chan, your phone is ringing," Toshinori says sleepily while running his hand up and down your bare side in an attempt to wake you up.

You groan and mumble, "So answer it." You roll over and bury your face in your pillow.

Toshinori is unsure about answering your phone, but sits up and reaches over your body to pick it up from the nightstand. He swipes right to answer the call and says, "Hello?"

There's a small pause before a deep male's voice says, "Hello, lad. I think in my drunken state that I may have called the wrong number. I'm calling to speak to my daughter. Is (Y/N) there?"

Toshinori's muscles tense up and a light blush appears across his cheeks in slight embarrassment at being caught with this man's daughter. "Uh, y-yes. S-she's right h-here. J-just a s-second," Toshinori then starts to gently shake you, "(Y/N)...(Y/N), wake up. Your f-father wants to talk to you."

You reluctantly roll over onto your back then hold out your hand and Toshinori puts it in your hand. You quickly put it on speaker and sleepily say, "Hiya, daddy."

"Hi, princess. Who was the lad that answered your phone?"

You yawn, "That was Toshinori."

"The same Toshinori that Hawk-Eye told me about 3 months ago?"

"The very same. And you're on speaker, daddy."

Toshinori is nervously wringing his huge hands together. "Hello, i-it's nice to speak with you sir."

Your father chuckles slightly, "There's no need to call me sir, Toshinori. My name's Shanks. How long have the two of you been dating now?" He slurs his words slightly.

You sit up in bed and let Toshinori's black sheet and red comforter pool on your lap, leaving your bare chest exposed for Toshinori to see. "Uh...about 5 months, I think." Toshinori is trying to cover you back up with the sheets, his face red. You slap at his hands and whisper to him, "Knock it off, Toshi. Daddy can't see us, he has no idea that we're naked."

"Dahahaha!" Your father laughs, "I do now. Anyway, I've got to say I'm impressed. I think this is the longest relationship you've ever been in, princess." Your father teases you.

"Daaaddddyyyy," you whine in embarrassment.

Your father chuckles, "Toshinori must be pretty special, huh? I might actually have to give the dad speech, huh?"

You look over at Toshinori and give him a loving smile. "Yes, he is very special. I love him, daddy."

There's a moment of silence on the other end of the line, "You love him, huh? That's the first time I heard you say that about someone you're dating. I guess that means I really do have to give him the dad speech now, since it seems like you plan on keeping him around."

"What's the dad speech?" Toshinori asks.

"It's a little speech all good dads give their daughter's boyfriend; where they threaten to kick the boyfriend's ass if they ever hurt their daughter. Let me tell you something, lad...I'm a man of my word and I always keep my promises. And I promise that I will hunt you down and beat you within an inch of death if you ever hurt my little girl in any way." Toshinori swallows nervously and you laugh loudly. "Oh? What's so funny, princess?"

"Well, daddy...you haven't even met Toshi yet." You wink at the blonde haired man before continuing, "For all you know he could be one of the top heroes in the world."

Toshinori begins to cough in surprise at your words. "I wouldn't care if he was All Might...nobody hurts my baby girl. Nobody." His words slur once again. "Now that, that bit of unpleasantness is done...guess what today is princess?!" Your father says excitedly and in your mind's eye you can see him bouncing from one foot to the other like an excited 5 year old.

"Daddy, have you been drinking?"

"Well, it is a special day, so...I may have had a huge party last night."

You chuckle, "Is it the 9th again already?"

"Yep!" He says cheerfully.

"Happy birthday, old man! How old are you now?"

Your father gives a tiny huff of fake indignation, "Really? You don't know how old your own father is? I'm hurt."

"I know how old you are!" You then begin to mutter to yourself, "Let's see, you had me when you were 15 and I'm 30 now so that makes you 45." (A/N: I aged Shanks up a little for this story. He's actually 39 in the One Piece storyline.) Toshinori begins coughing up blood and you look over at him in worry. When the coughing continues for more than a couple of minutes, you put your phone down on the nightstand then turn to rub Toshinori's back in an attempt to soothe him.

"Is he alright?" Shanks asks in concern.

"Toshi has some health problems, daddy, but he'll be okay."

"I see."

Once Toshinori's coughing calms down you ask him, "Are you okay? What surprised you so much that it sent you into such a bad coughing fit?"

Toshinori looks down at his red comforter in shame and clenches his fist. "I'm older than your father."

"So what?" Both you and Shanks say at the same time.

"We're both over the age of consent so our age really doesn't matter. At least it doesn't to me."

"I agree with my daughter. The only time age really matters is when one of the people is under the age of 16. (A/N: did you guys know that the age of consent in Japan is 13? That seemed a little too young to me so I compromised between America's AoC and Japan's.) Since, you're both older than that, the only thing that really matters now is that you love each other. You do love my daughter, right?"

Toshinori looks up into your (e/c) eyes and gives you a brilliant smile. He grabs your hand in one of his own; his hand easily covering yours completely. "I love her with all my heart."

You return his smile and throw yourself at him. He easily catches you and you straddle his lap. You press your lips against his in a passionate kiss. You hear your father clear his throat and ask in a teasing tone of voice, "Should I call back later?"

Toshinori breaks the kiss and looks over at his digital alarm clock. "No, it's okay. I have to go to meet young Izuku for our morning training soon." He stands up from the bed and stretches. He turns around and kisses the top of your head, "Would you like me to make you some breakfast before I leave?"

"Only if you plan on joining me."

"And I'll have some sausage, eggs, and pancakes with maple syrup." Shanks teases.

"Sure, and we'll ship it first class on NotHappening Airlines," you tease back.

"At least they have better service than FlyingFuck Airlines," your father replies.

"Dahahaha!" You and your father break out laughing.

Toshinori chuckles at the two of you while walking over to his dresser and pulling out a clean pair of boxers and slipping them on. "I'm going to start making breakfast, my dear. It was nice speaking to you, Shanks-san."

"Dahahaha! It's just Shanks. It was nice talking to you too, Toshinori. I look forward to meeting you at the end of the week."

"Huh?" You and Toshinori say simultaneously while looking at the phone in confusion.

"Dahahaha! I'm coming to stay in Japan for a little while. At least until the upcoming Sports Festival is over and maybe a couple of weeks after."

"That's great news, daddy! You can meet both Toshi and Izuku!"

"Of course! You and Toshinori have to take me to the best bar in town! And I definitely want to get to know my grandson!"

You chuckle, "Sure, daddy, but Toshi doesn't drink."

"Really?!" He sounds surprised, "Huh, I guess that whole 'girls falling for guys who remind them of their fathers' thing isn't true, huh?"

You chuckle, "I would think that you would be kinda grateful for that, Mr. I-had-a-kid-when-I-was-only-fifteen."

Toshinori walks over to you and kisses your forehead before making his way out of the bedroom and downstairs to his kitchen. You stand up from the bed and limp over to Toshinori's dresser. You grab one of Toshinori's clean white t-shirts from his drawers then slip it on. It's extremely big on you; the hem of the shirt stops mid thigh and the neck droops low nearly exposing your breasts.

"Speaking of my grandson...did Izuku get into U.A.? I remember you telling me that he was a late bloomer and didn't have much experience with his quirk when he took the entrance exam." As your father is speaking you make your way downstairs, through the living room, and into the kitchen.

You sit down at the table and watch Toshinori cook. "Yes, he did make it into U.A! Daddy, you would have been so proud of Izuku! He saved a girl from a gigantic faux villain robot! Unfortunately, the power of his quirk broke his right arm and both of his legs. Actually, he hurts himself every time he uses his quirk."

Your father chuckles, "Reminds me of you when you were little."

This surprises you and grabs Toshinori's attention. "What are you talking about, daddy?"

"Well, you probably don't remember this, princess, but when your quirk first manifested, when you were 4 years old, you were constantly hurting yourself when you used your quirk. Of course, you never truly broke any of your bones...a few hairline fractures, sure, but nothing like Izuku's injuries."

"Do you know why that happened?" You ask him.

"Yeah. It turns out you were focusing too much of your quirk in just one area. Like when you fractured your left leg when you kicked a boy who was looking up your dress...I'm still very proud of you for that by the way...Anyway, you had only focused your willpower in that leg at the timeand I bet Izuku is doing the same thing. Instead of evenly distributing his power throughout his entire body, he's only focusing it in the areas he's about to use. So when he releases that power, it overwhelms his body and breaks his bones."

Toshinori turns around to face you and the phone. "How did you teach her to use her quirk without hurting herself?"

"Well, the first is obvious...lots of physical training to strengthen her body. Then I had to teach her how to distribute her willpower evenly throughout her body."

"Any advice on how to do that?" Toshinori asks, now completely engrossed in talking with your father. You stand up, take the spatula from his hand, then walk over to the stove to tend to the eggs.

"Well, when I was training (Y/N) I told her to think of her power like a blanket and to make sure she completely covers herself with it. It took some time and I had to use my own quirk to guide her, but she did learn how to do it." Toshinori is deep in thought, but is pulled out of it when Shanks continues. "I'll be more than happy to train with Izuku and see if there's anything that I can do to help him while I'm in Japan."

Toshinori smiles, "That would be great. Because I have no idea how to keep the boy from hurting himself when using his quirk."

"Dahahaha! I know the feeling. (Y/N) was quite the handful when she was younger."

Toshinori chuckles, "She's still a handful."

You look over your shoulder and stick your tongue out at him. "Oh? What's she done now?"

"Hey! I did nothing wrong! I was just teaching the students!" You huff with a small pout on your face.

"For her first class, she fought with an antihero friend of hers and ended up being bitten..."

"Bitten?! Was it Venom again? I asked you to stay away from him, (Y/N)." Shanks begins to scold you and you automatically make a cute puppy dog face, with big sparkling eyes and a small shy smile. You hold your hands together behind your back while looking down at your feet. "That adorable look doesn't work when I can't see it, princess. Nyah!" He says, while obviously sticking his tongue out.

Toshinori looks up at you then asks Shanks, "How did you know that she's making an adorable face?"

"That's what I call her 'get-out-of-trouble-with-daddy' face. She makes it everytime she knows that she's in trouble with me."

Toshinori laughs, "I can see why it gets her out of trouble."

"Dahahaha!"

"Shanks-san...I mean...Shanks, can I ask you something?"

"Sure, ask away, Toshinori!" Your father says cheerfully.

"(Y/N) told me that you're her father, but not her brother's...so why do you refer to Izuku as your grandson?"

"Because to me family doesn't end with blood. I consider Izuku my grandson and Inko my daughter because they share a special bond with my daughter. Just like if you marry my daughter, you will be my son," he laughs, "even if you are older than me!"

Toshinori's smile is absolutely gorgeous and you can't help but admire him as you place a small plate of eggs down in front of him. "Now, now...we've only been dating for 5 months. It's too soon to be thinking about the m-word."

Toshinori looks down at his plate, "Oh! I was supposed to be making breakfast for you (Y/N)-chan! I'm so sorry."

You chuckle, "It's okay, Toshi-kun. I didn't mind at all. Daddy, we're going to let you go so that we can eat. I love you and happy birthday, daddy!"

"I love you too, princess. And Toshinori?"

"Yes, Shanks?"

"Take good care of my baby girl."

"I will, Shanks. Happy birthday and I look forward to meeting you soon."

After saying your final good-byes, you hang up. As you're sitting down across from Toshinori, he looks at you and says, "Your dad seems like a really nice man."

You nod, "He is...unless you hurt someone he cares about...Or, on the very, very rare occasion, if he just doesn't like someone."
