"A family dojo?"
"My... Friend's family owns a family dojo. I think it would be beneficial for Shoto to enroll there." Y/n repeated as she currently stood in front of Enji inside his study.
"I can train Shoto by my——"
"You're always outside the house, Busy with work. It'll be beneficial since Shoto can attend it every after classes and on summer." Y/n interrupted half of it was a lie though.
"Until when are the classes after school?"
"Shoto's class ends around 3 pm. Dojo classes for that matter takes about 2 hours. Classes for weekends and summer are 9-11:30, if that's not enough we can add him on the afternoon classes 1-4:30pm." Y/n answered coldly.
"Fine. But I'll be training Shoto when I'm free."
Most of it was a lie because most of the time Shoto will be 'training' he'll get to be a child around Mikey and the others.
"... I'll go ahead and get ready then. Shoto can start this afternoon." Y/n dismissed herself before giving a short bow.
Though just as she was about exit the room...
"Y/n."
Bot bothering to give a proper answer, Y/n simply turned around, waiting whatever the male had to say.
"Try and convince Touya to be something else. He'll probably listen to you."
'...You piece of shit'
"I'll see what I can do." Y/n responded in her usual nonchalant tone before leaving the room and quickly walking away.
If Y/n had enough power to do such she would've killed that bastard of a father they had. How dare he go to such lengths and have her try to disencourage Touya to not be a hero just because he found Shoto more suitable.
"Nee-chan...?"
Snapping out of her thoughts, Y/n quickly looked to the person who had called her seeing a familiar flame wielding male.
"Touya, is anything wrong?"
"Nee-chan your hands..."
Quickly looking at her hands...
'Was I clenching my fists that hard...?'
Blood was dripping from her palms. She didn't even notice. Probably because she felt no pain from it.
"I'm fine." Y/n assured as icy smoke came out of her palms as blood slowly begun to cease from flowing from her palms.
"I'll get some tissues then!" Touya rushed off as she ran off.
"..."
"...Your hair's got more whiter than last time. Are you doing well?" Y/n asked as the two now sat by the living room.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Touya answered with a small smile
'Liar.'
"Touya, you can be anything you want." Y/n spoke as she moved close towards Touya, before pulling thr boy to a small hug.
"Even if father doesn't approve of it... Nee-chan will help you achieve those dreams... No matter what it takes"
"Nee-chan..."
"As long as it's the profession you want to take because of your own dream and liking" stroking the male's hair in ab affectionate way, Y/n spoke softly as she did so. Though not much emotion laced her tone, Touya still couldn't help but slightly flutter upon receiving such affection.
"So be more honest around me... Okay?"
Y/n wasn't the type to be so affectionate, but when it come to her siblings especially Touya... Despite the lack of emotion it was always there. I mean despite just being a year apart both of them had went through the same hardships.
Be raised with some affection from their father. With the lines of him persuading them to be heroes and get him to number one...
Then suddenly tries to disheart them of being a hero because he found his perfect tool for his plan.
I mean his family plan was literally make a child until a perfect and suitable one is born. Ignore failures, disheart the first trials and focus on the perfect one.
Ain't that a heart warming family plan. So warm iy might even burn the house down.
Feeling the male return the hug. Y/n rested her chin on the male head. "Just be honest with me, and I'll help you reach whatever you'll want to be. Regardless of Father's remarks."
"Promise?"
"I promise."
Honestly, it's quite funny how most promises are broken. Because it's human nature to seek something you've been dying to recieve....
Maybe just like....
A father's acknowledgement.

"Ooh, so Sho-chin's joining us starting today?" Mikey questioned the older teen as he pointed at the timid boy who hid behind Y/n's legs now dressed in the dojo's prepared uniform.
"Yes. So could you take care of him?" Y/n asked
"Mm! Let's go I'll help you train!" Mikey nodded eager before going on ahead and dragging the poor boy away from Y/n's legs and dragging him somewhere in the dojo.
"Manjiro! You can't just drag--" Shinichiro scolded though was cut short when the two boys were no longer to be seen.
"I'm so sorry about that." Shinichiro meekly apologized as he faced Y/n
"It's fine."
The dual haired teen might haven't showed her emotions to the 4 males yet though they had noticed a few hints to know what she was feeling depending on the way she spoke despite being nonchalant and stoic.
•Sighing = bored/tired/giving up on something
•colder than usual + really blunt= slightly annoyed/mad
•answers in short words = excited/tried something new/likes something
•raises a brow = confused/curious
•silent + head tilts = doesn't get what they are talking about/ living under a rock moments
•blunt + stoic + nonchalant = normal/neutral
For the other emotions so far... They have no clue yet.
"Anyways do have any plans today?" Shinichiro asked
"I promised to take my sister to the mall today." Y/n answered
"Oh, Perfect! Emma wanted to buy something today! Mind if we tag along with you guys?"
"I don't. Though we'll be meeting up by the train station in a few minutes." Y/n answered as she looked at her watch.
"It's fine. I'll go get Emma."
It's a lie. Emma didn't want anything from the mall, Nor she wanted to buy something. Shinichiro only wanted to get out of his grandfather's line of sight.
Being the oldest child of the family is quite hard no?
But then again having the hardest life in the family isn't determinded by which child are you.
The oldest, middle, youngest...
It always depends on how the parents treats each child.
Without even thinking between the lines of "did my child even wanted to be born?"
"Touya..."
"You are a failure."
Silence had filled thr training room as a boy layed helplessly on the wooden floor.
"Give it up on being a hero and be something else. Be like your older sister."
The sound of the door closing could only be heard as a male of 13 years old was left in the cold training room.
No sound was made until the room's was hurriedly open as woman with snow white locks entered the room in a panicked state.
"Touya! Natsuo go get the first aid kit!" Rei exclaimed as she looked at the younger boy who had followed after her.
Natsuo gave a firm nod before rushing off to go and get the asked item.
"....mom am I a failure...?"
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry"
A hug was given to the young boy as tears begun to cascade down her cheeks.
Reassurance was needed not apologies.
What a loving family this is, isn't it?
But then again everyone has a limit.
I wonder who breaks first.
