Chapter 102: Safety and Date
After she got done saving people that day you can guess that she was quite tired. Not really due to her quirk, but mentally she was exhausted.
I just carried her back to Rumi's room and let her sleep on my shoulder. My 'wife' was already getting prepared to leave the hospital.
It seems the doctors no longer need to keep her under observation, they already have enough on their hands anyway.
I walked to her side and looked at her for a bit. I really liked seeing her ears wiggling around. She obviously noticed me staring at her like an idiot. She just glared at me, she would've shouted at me if Eri wasn't sleeping in my arms.
One of the unwritten rules in our 'family' is that there will be no shouting near Eri. It's not like Rumi is actually mad at me anyway.
She also seemed excited, probably. I'm not exactly the most perceptive person, but I think skipping over to me is an indicator of excitement.
I just grabbed her and hugged her a bit. Eri was still in my arms. So a hug and a kiss is most of what I can do.
By the end, Rumi hung onto me like a koala on a eucalyptus tree.
"You know, I already have a child in my arms. I don't need a second one..." I said, with a shitty smirk on my face.
It was mostly an inside joke. Whenever she clung to me like this it was for more... nefarious reasons. So an offspring is always brought into the conversation when I want to tease her.
I can only afford to do so because Eri is sleeping. If she was awake all talk of that nature would cease. As that is another unspoken rule in our household.
'No major teasing or any dirty talk near Eri.' This one is sacred. As, after slipping up once, I needed to teach Eri that some words shouldn't be said to strangers...
Ok, maybe I and Rumi aren't the best-qualified parents. But we love Eri, and that's all she needs honestly.
After that, we just went home. All three of us. The next few days were spent peacefully. And I even managed to call and make an appointment with that psychiatrist.
Things are looking fine.
I need to make sure that Eri is always safe. And Rumi... I need to train more with her. I can't really teach her anything, but I will definitely make our training more frequent than before.
I can't always be there for her during fights, she's a hero after all. She will always get into fights, that's just who she is.
Sticking too closely to her might even make it seem that I no longer trust her to protect herself. Something she would definitely take as an insult.
Regardless, with All for One captured with little to no chances of escaping. Things are looking pretty goddamn safe.
One might argue that there is no way the All for One would remain captured. But that's bullshit. The only reason he could even attempt an escape in the manga is that he had Shigaraki.
Now, all of his trustworthy supporters are either dead or captured. And he can't do anything to save himself, Tartaros made sure of that.
As much as I don't trust Tartaros, mostly due to last time's blunder. I believe they employed a few different defensive systems this time. I doubt they would fall for the same quirk twice.
Besides All for One, there aren't any major villains to talk about. All of them have been captured or died.
I've not seen anything about Himiko Toga, Twice or Spinner. But they aren't exactly people I need to worry about.
Oh Yeah... Dabi. I had forgotten about him for a few days. It seems he made himself busy tearing down his fathers legacy from behind bars.
The Todoroki family should be quite shocked at this development. I wonder if it will be enough to make them reconnect properly?
I already laid the groundwork, now Enji just needs to let go of his pride and turn over a new leaf.
To be honest, making sure Dabi was captured is the easiest part of this whole plan. Getting his Rei Todoroki discharged from the hospital was annoying to do anonymously.
I did manage to pull some strings, I did manly use her families identity to pull it off. Turning myself into Endeavor and taking care of the paperwork. Controlling light to that extent is actually not that bad.
I doubt Endeavor would even look into that. He should be too preoccupied trying to salvage what is left of his personal life.
I think his career as a hero is a bit shaky right now. But he should be able to make a comeback. At least I think so. I doubt he will have the same drive as before anyway.
After a while, I stopped worrying about Endeavor. I will just let nature take its course from this point forwards. I've been tampering with his personal life enough as it is.
I have my own problems to worry about. Like the fact that I have a date with Rumi planned for tonight. Eri is currently in the care of Recovery Girl. I think she likes hanging out with Chiyo honestly.
She always looks forward to spending time with her. Even going as far as to call her 'Granny Chyio', I think Recovery Girl almost had a heart attack after hearing that for the first time.
Anyway, I need to get ready for a great evening and a long night. Rumi has had a lot of energy lately. She will want to burn through it tonight.
The date itself isn't exactly an event planned by me. We were invited to a ball by some rich folk. And since we are both bored we decided to make it into a date.
Neither one of us is really into the whole, fancy party type of deal. But we figured it wouldn't matter much, we were just here for the food after all.
Rumi was wearing a white dress. Contrasting nicely with her tanned skin. I was just wearing the suit I bought recently, it was a regular navy blue tux.
I wanted to wear the same one I wore on my first date with Rumi. But she almost bit my head off when she heard that. Saying I should buy more clothes to wear out with her.
Oh well. Now we were just sitting at our table, enjoying our food and talking to each other. We didn't even bother saying hi to the person that invited us here, as we didn't actually know who it was.
All of a sudden. A nicely dressed dude did the pompous hitting fork on a champagne glass thing to get everyone's attention.
He said a few words that neither I nor Rumi bothered listening to.
The date ended when we both got bored and went home to have some fun and maybe sleep(unlikely).
In the end, the date went well. Although neither one of us really understood why we got invited to some random fancy party.
