Ten

It was unexpected, the news comes crushing to them like a gigantic wave, none of them has seen this coming, not even him. The news came after the wedding, and he, of all people, was beyond broken.

The wedding reception has been canceled.

It took all of his will to prevent himself from crying and breaking down in front of the coffin, never once did he ever notice the two small figure on the corner of the area.

Turquoise and Gray eyes filled with nothing but pain and sadness, all they know were that they lost their mother, and they could do anything about it. Beside them was Uttara, she was the one who fixed everything when Sky called her, on the phone, crying, saying his mother not even breathing anymore.

For a mere 7 years old who doesn't even understand what was currently happening, they look tired.

"Are you Sky and Cloud?"

Their eyes perk up,

"I'm your mothers friend"

He added, his eyes meeting with their dull ones.

"From now on, I'm going to take care of you two"

8 Years After.

"Mom! We're finally on our way to become a hero"

Cloud beam, smiling.

"Oh! And Dad has been taking a good care of use ever since then"

"I made it to the recommendation in U.A! Same goes brother"

The girl pout,

"At first He doesn't even want to go there, but eventually father manage to convince him"

She chuckled.

"Cloud! Finished talking to your mom? You and your brother are going to be late on your first day!"

"Coming Dad!"

Her gray eyes linger in her mothers tombstone.

She then put a piece of ice lotus on it, her lotus ring shining as the sunlight hits it. She always prefers making the flower rather than buying them. She said it's from the heart.

"Well Mom, you heard Daddy Shinso! got to go!"

She then stood, brushing off her skirt before rushing inside the car where her twin brother and adoptive father is.

"So slow Cloud"

Sky said as soon as his twin make it into the car, not even glancing on her as he flips another page on the book he was reading and their father starts the car to head towards U.A

"We're going to be late thanks to you"

He added, smirk painted on his lips, knowing how hot-headed his sister can be when it comes to him, but before she could even reply with a sassy comeback.

"Drop it you two, not in the car"

"yes dad"

they both pout.

"oh well. here we go"

the car stop, Shinso looking at the two.

"Good luck on your first day"

they smile at his words,

"Sure we will"

"And oh"

Shinso rolls the window down as the twin walks away.

"Don't show off!"

they just give their adoptive father a wave, Cloud turning around as she does so, so she could give her adoptive father a flying kiss.

That's something their mother would say.

Eventually, their father went away to go on his own Hero agency. And as Cloud turns around, she ends up bumping into someone and that sends her into the ground.

She looks up, only to see a heterochromia pair of eyes. One like her brother and one like her,

"Sorry, Are you okay?"

He held up a hand to hold her up, and she accepts it with her ringed hand.

Soon his eyes set on her ring.

A lotus ring, one that is very familiar with him.

his eyes went wide.

"Where did--"

"Father!"

"Cloud!"

Eventually, he lets go of her hand.

"Sorry, My brother is calling me Shoto-san"

She said, calling him on his Hero name.

He turn around, glaze still fixed on the young lady with gray eyes.

Then he saw him, the boy same turquoise eyes just like him,

"Watch your way will you"

He heard the boy scold his younger twin.

"Let's go"

He said, draping his arm on his twin as they both walk away from there biological father.

"Dad?"

His son, together with his Mom, Momo walk towards him,

Yet his glaze is focused on the twin, something about their figure and Aura reminds him of something as he watches their back.

Then it sinks in,

They remind him of.

Alice and Him.
