When Yuki and Yuzu turned 3 years old, many things had already happened, Nozomi already mastered her quirk much better, Haru get a quirk similar to her mother's since he can melt things, but that same acid can set things on fire too, while the little ones had already learned to walk and talk

- Daddy, story - The little girls took Shoto's hands so that he would read them a story before bed

Shoto followed them to their room, they still liked to sleep in it, only now they had separate beds, he brought a chair and sat in the middle of the beds while they lay down and hugged their plushies while they watched him and he began to tell the story, they still didn't know how to read very well

- And end of chapter 3

- Another daddy - Yuki said while yawning

- Tomorrow little girl, you must sleep, your sister already did - Shoto returned the book to the shelf and then covered them both with their blankets and kissed their heads, then turned off the lamp and left the door half open

He go to his room and changed his uniform and then sat on the edge of the bed to read some emails on his phone, then he felt someone hug him from behind and kiss him on the neck, he knew who it was and just caressed his cheek

- Hi baby - Mina smiled and then sat on his lap as she took the phone from her and put it on the table - You need to rest and you really should come to dinner more often

- That's what I tried Mina, but you know it's not that easy - Shoto sighed and felt Mina slowly lower her hands and then lay him down on the bed - ¿What are you doing now?

- Well, I help my husband, just leave it all to me.

Mina took off his shirt and began to massage his back and shoulders, Shoto just closed his eyes and relaxed completely.

- See, I knew you were busy, relax - Mina smiled and after a few minutes lay down on his back - Don't think about anything else, this is part of the massage

- Sure Mina

Shoto knew it wasn't, but he still enjoyed Mina's hugs, especially when she wasn't wearing a bra.

Before things go any further, Nozomi desperately knocked on the door and Shoto opened it, it was only for him to kill a spider that was in the bathroom and then he can come back to sleep, but when he came back they both knew that the moment had passed and Shoto sighed to lie down next to his wife

- I'm sorry Mina, I didn't mean...

- Its okay Sho, I know it wasn't your fault, besides I would have done the same if I saw a spider

Shoto sighed and gave her a hug before falling asleep next to her.

The next night, Shoto was still a little late, Mina had already put the children to bed and they had the house to themselves, Mina had a surprise under her robe and led Shoto to the couch to watch a movie, Mina sat on his lap while caressing his chest and slowly unbuttoning his shirt

- Mmm, I like this part of the movie

Before they could go any further, they heard someone coming down the stairs and Shoto quickly threw Mina to the other side of the couch and covered her with the robe.

- ¿Daddy?

Shoto saw Yuzu coming down, still half asleep, and go to carry her so she wouldn't fall.

- ¿What are you doing awake baby girl?

- I was thirsty and wanted to drink juice

- It's too late for juice, let's go - Shoto carried her to the kitchen and poured her a glass of milk and heated it himself, then took her to the room and put her back on the bed and returned to Mina

- Sho

- I know, it was ruined again and... - He received a pillow-

- Don't ever throw me like that again, ¡You almost threw me off the couch!

Mina kept hitting him with the pillow for several minutes until she got tired and they continued watching the movie

The next night, the little girls waited for Shoto to keep telling them the story, but it was already late and he still hadn't come back, Mina knew why it is, but she didn't have the courage to tell any of her children for fear of their reactions

- Mommy, ¿Is Daddy going to tell us the story today?

- No little girl, dad is late and you are going to be asleep

- ¿Where is he? - They both asked while they saw her

- Working... Sleep well - Mina kissed their foreheads and then covered them with the blankets and turned off the light

Hours passed and Yuki heard a sound that made her wake up, she go to her parents' room and heard Shoto's voice, she returned to Yuzu and shook her head to wake her up

- Hmm, ¿What happen?

- Daddy is here, let's ask him if he will read us the story

Both girls got up and go to the room and when they opened the door they were surprised and scared to see Shoto bandaged in a large part of his body due to an attack he suffered in the afternoon, it was not so serious that he stayed in the hospital

- Hey, ¿What are you doing awake?

Both of them approached him worriedly and held each of Shoto's hands.

- Calm down, I'm fine

They both turned to see Mina who nodded forcing a smile since she didn't want to upset them.

- Dad is fine, go to sleep, tomorrow he will tell you the story

Both girls hugged Shoto tightly and he just made a pained expression that they didn't see, then they both go back to their beds and Shoto looked at Mina who was angry and worried about him.

- Mina, I know you must be feeling and...

- No, you have no idea Shoto

Mina sat next to him holding his hand and crying

- I'm tired of seeing how you come home hurt or sometimes you don't even come home and... And...

- Mina...

- And I'm afraid that you won't come anymore...

Shoto hugged her tightly without caring how much the wound hurt, Mina tried to separate so she wouldn't hurt him anymore.

- No Sho, I know it hurts and...

- I don't mind

Shoto kept hugging her and fell over her in bed, he was the first to fall asleep and she didn't wake him up anymore, she just stayed in that position until she fell asleep too

The next day, Shoto woke up before her and he didn't want to wake her up, he put her in bed since they were very close to it, covered her with his blanket and then go out, he was able to stretch without problems since the wound didn't hurt so much like yesterday, he go down to the kitchen and started making breakfast for everyone, while he was cooking he felt his legs being hugged and she turned to see his younger daughters

- Hi little ones - Shoto put the spatula on the pan and bent down to hug them - ¿How did you sleep?

The girls were still looking at him worried to which Shoto carried them both in his arms.

- See, if I was hurt I couldn't do this

They both smiled a little and hugged his neck, then he sat them on their chairs and served them breakfast, while Haru and Nozomi sat down, but they didn't know what had happened to him, yet, they usually didn't notice such things. Because their parents didn't tell them, but their little sisters were different about that

Pocky also came with him and started licking his hand so they could play, but that would be later.

When Mina woke up, the first thing she did was look for Shoto, when she found him she took him to the bathroom to change his bandage, and what she saw was bad

- Sho... It opened a bit, I'll have to sew it and you know I don't like to do these things

Before she took out the first aid kit, Shoto stopped her to hug her tightly.

- ¡Sho! you're going to...

- Mina, I'm sorry

Mina did not say anything and just tried not to cry when she saw her husband who did not care about his own physical condition as long as he saw her and her children happy.

- If you really want him to be happy... Stop being so selfish and start worrying about yourself.

Shoto looked at her and nodded before releasing her, Mina stared at what he would do and he said he would go to the hospital, but not to tell the children anything.

When he was on his way, he did not stop thinking about everything Mina said, although he was late he did it because he wanted them to be safe no matter what happened to him, if something happened to them he would simply not forgive it, but make them aside was not good either

After they sewed him up, he came home and sat on the couch, the little girls sat next to him and he hugged them both, but more carefully than before.

- Sho, ¿How do you feel?

- Better, I'll rest a few days with you

- ¡Yay! - The girls were excited to hear that and they saw Mina again

Mina sat next to him and took his hand so that he would then kiss her forehead, Mina served the children dinner and then hugged Shoto carefully.

- Thank you

Shoto kissed her cheek while caressing her horns and she blushed even more, then he go to bed and the little girls came to him hugging him and Yuzu brought the book to continue the story, Shoto covered them both with the blanket while he read them the story

- And end of chapter 4, ¿Did you like it?

Both girls were already asleep hugging him, Mina lay down next to him and took the book putting it on the nightstand

- Thanks Shoto

Shoto took her hand and she snuggled up to his side putting Yuki on top of her and then she fell asleep faster than him
