"Who's there?! You better not be stealing my money you punk!"

Tenko looked around the room, trying to find a hiding spot but he was too slow. The man quickly grabs him from the back of the shirt and holds him in the air.

"What are you-" Before he could finish his sentence, Tenko starts crying. Snorts and tears are seen. The man looked at the boy weirdly.

"P-ple-ease! I-I didn't mean to steal! I was just so hungry a-and I wanted food! And-" Tenko kept on rambling on, choking on his tears. The man ignored Tenko's rambling. He looks at the boy's attain and realizes that he's dirty. His clothes are ripped and dirty. His hair has some stuff sticking to it.

'He doesn't seem to have parents or anyone looking after him...'

He puts his attention back onto Tenko whose face has turned cheery red.

'I wonder would he be okay with having this boy around...'

"Look, kid. Im not mad okay." Still holding the child, the man goes to the counter and hands Tenko some sweets. He puts the boy down and stares at him. Tenko stared right back at the giant.

"You should go...I'll clean up this mess" Without responding, Tenko quickly grips the sweet and ran out of the store. The curly-haired man stared at where the boy once stood.

'I can't bring him home. The boy might not last long if I did...especially not with him home. That's not a place for a child.'

He shook the thoughts out of his head and goes to clean up the mess.

「ありがとう、お父さん」

"Would you please just—"

"No. My answer is no. I've already let you go outside. I've already let you have the shop and now you ask for more? What would I be getting in return?" The shorter man didn't know what to say. He kept his head down, not even daring to look up at the man he calls his 'husband'.

"We can't afford to have a child now. I am too busy as well as you're busy with your responsibilities. Don't forget I can send you back to your punishment room."

His eyes widen at the threat. He didn't want to go back there. It was lonely, dark and cold. Very very cold.

"Yes sir... I'll get started on dinner." He left the room in a hurry, not wanting to upset the man even more. The buff man sat in his chair with his arms folded. He loves his husband he does but recently he has noticed that the man has been getting too comfortable and has been asking for too many things. He starts plotting ways to gain back control of his husband.

「オハナは家族を意味します。
家族は誰も取り残されたり忘れられたりしないことを意味します。」

Tenko sits on the floor on the road, feeling depressed. The snacks that were given to him by the man from the Cafe finished a few days ago. He was hungry, cold and dirty.

"I wish I didn't have this quirk. Where are the heroes? Aren't they supposed to help those in need? I wish I was normal. Why can't I be normal?"

"Poor child. No hero came to save you? No one bothered to help you? Want to know why? It's because of the quirk of society." Tenko's eyes widen when he heard a male voice. He looks up and sees a man in a suit.

"It's because people rely on Pro Heros too much. Why help the poor helpless not when the heroes can? They all pass you straight with the thought that a hero will come to save you soon. But to tell you the truth, the Heroes are fighting bigger problems. They're too busy to help a poor helpless boy.

Hearing the man's harsh words made tears fall from Tenko's eyes. The man softly grips the boy's face and wipes his tears away.

"Come now. Don't cry. I can help you. You just need to trust me." Tenko looks at the man's big hands. Seeing that the boy wasn't going to take his hands, he used another tactic.

"You can stay out here all by yourself. But no one will be willing to help you. All-Might didn't come, so why would anyone help you? You have no family, your dog died...such a shame really" As the man gets up and dusts his pants, he slowly walks away from the boy.

Seeing this, Tenko yells for him to stop. The man's face held an evil smirk, one that Tenko could not see.

He turns back around and held his hands out. Nervously, Tenko puts his own out and firmly grips the man's own.

"Welcome to the family, son."
