Meeting the Family

"Emi, I can't breathe, please let go" I protest. She smiles at me, so where's this boyfriend of yours? I want to meet him already. I smile at her, she's been dying for me to start dating, I made sure to tell her about Tamaki early on since she was convinced I was developing a crush on Mr. Aizawa who she's only been in love with since forever. I get why she would like him, but I'm not sure why she thought I would. Sure Mr. Aizawa is super cool, but he's also OLD. I will miss him though, kinda wish he would go out with Emi, maybe I should try to set them up more actively instead of just hoping she'll finally break past that Aizawa shell.

"He'll be here as soon as he can, he messaged me earlier, there was an issue while he was on patrol and he got a few cuts he needed stitched up. That's why he didn't make it to graduation."

"Oh no, I hope he's alright" our grandmother chimed in. "I do too, he has a bad habit of making things sound like they weren't as bad as they were, but he told me he was leaving his apartment about 15 minutes ago so he should be here in another 10 and we'll see."

"Suneater is pretty great actually, I've been watching some videos people have posted on You tube, you're in some of them too L/N" Ojiro gushes. "You two make a great team." I smile then feel a clench of dread in my stomach, I have to tell him about my date with Tou-I mean Dabi tomorrow. You mean extra crispy and there has to be a way out of it. Uh, I'm going to die before any of this happens from pure horror. "Hey are you ok Y/N, you look kinda pale and your all sweaty." Toru ask. "I don't feel so great I think I'm going to be sick." I say running to the bathroom.

The tile of the floor is cool, I almost don't want to get back up to go back downstairs, but I've been in here emptying my dinner on my knees for a good three minutes and I must have been laying here on the floor cooling off for at least another 10. Tamaki must be here by now, it's probably the commotion I heard a few minutes ago, I need to get down there and introduce him to everyone properly. Just then there's a knock on the door. "Bunny, may I come in?" I get up and unlock the door for him allowing him to enter.

He takes me into his arms. "You don't feel like you have a fever, did you maybe eat something that has gone bad?"

"I don't think so, honestly I didn't really eat much. Tama, I have to tell you something, and I'm not exactly happy about it, but it sounds like I don't have much of a choice." His eyes are full of concern, but he plants his lips on my forehead reassuringly, "you can talk to me about anything bunny, whatever it is, I'll help you."

"Actually, you can't help me with this. I told you before that I applied to work with the commission, it seems they've decided to send me undercover with the villain known as Dabi. I'm supposed to pose as his long time secret girlfriend he's introducing to everyone after agreeing to a marriage proposal." His eyes are wide as he stares back at me, mouth slightly open, I can tell that he doesn't want me to go but at the same time won't say anything because he knows that an undercover position has been my dream for the last two years. Though he still hasn't been brought in on the class secret of Dabi actually being Touya Todoroki, I'm waiting to hear back if it's ok to tell him. He holds me a little tighter and runs his fingers through my hair kissing my head. "Everyone is worried, we should go down, we'll talk about all this later bunny." He says his voice low and broken, breaking my heart.

Downstairs Tamaki does his best to behave as if nothing is amiss, no one else knows him like I do, so I don't think anyone else has noticed just how silent he's really been. I want to be able to talk with him and really discuss what this mission will mean for us, we haven't been alone in a week, realizing I want to be able to just be with him I decide to speak with my grandmother privately.

"I know I haven't been home since winter break, and I miss you and grandpa, but I really need to talk to Tamaki, it's important, and I'm afraid I can't really tell you what it's about yet." I decide to be as honest as I can with her, she's always been understanding.

"Are you pregnant dear? I thought you said you were getting on birth control." She isn't accusatory nor upset, this is why I love her, though an unplanned pregnancy might be better than pretending to date someone else.

"No it isn't that, and I got this little stick thing in my arm, see." I place her hand on it so she can feel it. "Besides, we also used a condom to be double sure. It's something else, I have a mission with the commission, I don't know much about it, just that I have to pretend I'm with someone else and that we're getting married. I feel like he's worried for my safety and not happy I'll be spending a lot of time with another guy."

"Oh dear that sounds rather serious. Well he's welcome to come home with us or you can go to his place. No use trying to keep you two separated, you're 18 now, no longer a virgin, and being responsible. It's a win really, I can tell you two really love one another, this mission will come and go and he will still be the man in your life, you'll see. I hug my grandmother and go present Tamaki with our choices.
