Back to Tamaki and Nejire

*After taking care of the villains, we see Tamaki and Nejire sitting down while Nejire patched him up.*

Nejire: So sorry, I distracted you.

Tamaki: it's umm... It's f... Fine, I was just surprised to see you here.

Nejire: Well, you did say you would be there for me.

Tamaki: Yeah, on the phone! How was I supposed to know you would come here?

Nejire: Well, I wanted to surprise you.

Nejire smiled shily at him, making him chuckle awkwardly while scratching his cheek.

Tamaki: Well, I'm definitely surprised, so did you come all this way just to visit me?

Nejire: Well, that was a factor, but I just needed a break from Japan.

Tamaki nodded in understanding; he knew just how toxic Japan could be.

Tamaki: So, where are you staying?

Nejire:ummm....with you?

Tamaki blushed as Nejire moved her hand.
*In a nervous fashion*

Nejire: No, wait, not like that! It's just this was kinda a spur of the moment kind of thing so i don't really have a hotel or something but if you don't want to that's totally fine!!

Tamaki: No, no, no, it's fine. I have a spare room at home you can use.

*Both adults looked the other way, with a small blush on their faces. With a cough, Tamaki got up.*

Tamaki: Well, I don't have to go home for a few hours. I want to walk for a bit. Maybe get a bite to eat.

Nejire:su...sure...

Nejire got up, and they started walking. They couldn't tell you who made the first move, but slowly both hands were connected, and neither really wanted to let go.

Scene change

*We see them in a restaurant on one of the outside tables. Tamaki was enjoying the view of the city he now calls home while Nejire was trying to figure out just what the heck she ordered.*

Nejire: So what is this?

Tamaki:Souvlaki,

Tamaki said as he took a bite of his food.

Tamaki: it's chunks of skewered pork, served on chopped tomatoes and onions in pitta bread with lashings of tzatziki.

Nejire: And Tzatziki is...

Tamaki: A simple yogurt cucumber dip tastes delicious; give it a try.

Nejire gave it a try and smiled. They ate in a comfortable silence until Tamaki looked at Nejire with a bit more of a serious expression.

Tamaki: Want to talk about what you told me on the phone?

Nejire stopped eating and had a more somber expression; she kept eating in a much slower fashion.

Nejire: It's just... Mirió and me... were over.

*Tamaki stopped at this and looked at her surprised. His feelings for her aside, Tamaki knew how much they loved each other; it's one of the reasons he left Japan, so to not ruin their love, Nejire looked at him with a smile that didn't reach her eyes as he shook his head a little and kept walking.*

Tamaki: How are we talking?

Nejire: I'm planning to get my lawyer to send him divorce papers when I get back. That kind of over; I'm done with him in everything, but legally, the only thing keeping us together is a piece of paper.

Tamaki: Wow, just wow, I'm sorry.

Nejire: Don't be; it's not your fault; it's his.

Tamaki: Did he cheat on you?

*Nejire looked at Tamaki, surprised not for the accusation but for the serious face he got when he asked; she had never seen him be this serious; she squeezed his hand for assurance.*

Nejire: No, none of that, just... you remember Izuku Midoriya?

*The wince Tamaki gave was all the answer she needed; with a nod, she continued*

Nejire: They found him, kind of; they don't know where he lives, but they know the people who know where he lives. Mirió: They became obsessed with finding him and giving him OFA back.

Tamaki: Wait, wouldn't that just kill him, given how fucked up his body is?

*Nejire snorted upon hearing Tamaki swear.*

Nejire: Yeah, it would, but I don't know. I guess his guilt and desperation are making him, and that's good for nothing. Shinori Yagi keeps gaslighting him into believing they are doing the right thing.

Tamaki: Man, I knew Mirió was an all-power fan, but I didn't think he would take his word as the gospel truth.

Nejire: I know it got to the point where he forgot our anniversary, the jerk!. I just couldn't stay with him anymore. I deserve better.

Tamaki: Of course you do. My god, look at you. You are a gorgeous woman, smart, bubbly, and energetic. You are the life of the party. If Mirió didn't treat you right, it's his loss.

*Nejire looked at Tamaki completely shocked. The old him would have never been so bold as to say all that without stuttering, no less. Nejire felt a blush on her cheeks as she looked down and started eating faster.*

Nejire"magneto, how long has it been since Mirió gave me a compliment? Even before the whole Midoriya thing, he barley told me such things."

Nejire: That was quite bold of you, Mr. Uchiha.

Tamaki snorted in amusement at hearing his old nickname.

Tamaki:misses hyuga I've been gone for a long time; things change. I have to say I miss Japan sometimes, but Greece, even with the heartache it gave me four years ago, only has positive things to say about it.

Nejire: heartache?

Tamaki: Ah, don't worry about it; it's been 4 years since then.

Nejire: Why didn't you call?

Tamaki: Would you have answered?

Nejire winced at that since, yes, when he first moved, he tried to stay connected with the few friends he did have, aka Mirió and Nejire, but over time they got too busy and just stopped answering.

Nejire:sorry...

Tamaki: I wasn't blaming you; I get it. Things change, people get busy, some friendships end, and others get stronger.

Nejire: Where do I fall in that?

Tamaki: Well, I'm not letting a stranger come to my home, so you tell me

Nejire:fair

They kept eating when Tamaki's phone rang.

Tamaki: Excuse me, that's my civilian phone; it must be important.

Nejire nodded as Tamaki answered.

Tamaki: hello? You have to go. Why is everything okay? Ah gotcha, no, there's no need to apologize; you're family comes first. Can you stay there until I come back? I'll be like... 15 minutes, you can? Great, I'll see you there.

Tamaki hung up and gave Nejire a shy smile.

Tamaki: Sorry about this, but mind if we continue this conversation at home? The girl I hired, Clio, who is a delight, had a family emergency.

Nejire: Oh, um, sure.

Tamaki paid for the both of them, and they were off.

Later

Nejire: It's such a shame you're housesitter had a family emergency. I hope everything is alright.

Tamaki;eh? My...

Before Tamaki could question her, his house was in view, so he decided to leave it for later.

Nejire: Wow, your house is so pretty.

Tamaki: Thanks, I'm sure your house is just a big

Nejire:pff Even with Mirió, we never moved, passed apartments, or had time.

Tamaki: Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

Nejire: Don't be; it's nothing to be sad about, not like it's a big deal; it's just a roof over my head and a place to fall asleep.

Tamaki:hm.

Tamaki opened the door and let Nejire inside.

Tamaki:Clio I'm here; you can leave now!

*Clio came running but froze seeing that Tamaki wasn't alone.*

Tamaki: Before you get any ideas, she's a friend visiting from Japan. Do not start the rumor mill spinning.

Clio: You're no fun, but ok. I already fed her; she's watching cartoons. It's nice to meet you, blue-haired lady.

*Clio left quickly, and Nejire started to feel a pang in her heart as the words Clio said were processed in her mind.*

Nejire: Who was she talking about?

Tamaki: Let me introduce her.

Tamaki grabbed Nejire's hand and guided her to the living room. Nejire was in shock to see a little girl there eating a sandwich.

Tamaki:inuzuka Aren't you going to say hi to Daddy?

Inuzuka snapped her neck and jumped for joy.

Inuzuka: Daddy, you're home!!

Inuzuka ran and jumped on Tamaki's arm. Tamaki laughed softly as he gave her a little spin and then looked at Nejire.

Tamaki:Nejire meets Penelope Inuzuka Amajiki, my daughter

Meanwhile, with Izutsuyu, since it's in their contract, they need to appear at least once in a chapter.

*We see Tsuyu playing Red Dead Redemption 3 completely immersed in the game while next to her, Izuku was reading the final pages of One Piece as slowly as possible to enjoy the moment. Tears started to fall from Izuku's face.*

Izuku: Oh my God, there it is—the one piece... It's so beautiful...

*Izuku sniffled* seeing Luffy find Pirate King Gol D. Roger's treasure and finally becoming the new king of the pirates with his wife Boa Hancock on his side holding their son Ace.

*Tsuyu, without looking, used her tongue to place a box of tissues on Izuku's lap, which he used as he finally made it to the final chapter. Today was a quiet day for our green couple—no drama, no suspense, just a normal domestic day that they both very much enjoyed.
