Chapter 187: Chapter 185:- Rei's Declaration 2
Endeavour's eyes widened in shock and fear. "You can't mean that. You can't just leave—"
"I can and I will," Rei cut him off sharply. "If you try to stop me, I'll file for divorce and leave this house. I'm staying here with you guys just for our children's sake, even if they don't care about me, they are still my kids, and I can't leave them, but you have no right to tell me what to do. Not anymore."
Endeavour's shoulders sagged, his eyes filled with a helplessness that was new to him. "Rei, please, don't do this. Think of our family—"
Rei's eyes flashed with anger. "I am thinking of our family. And that's why I won't let it break because of you. But don't think for a second that you have any control over me anymore.
I'll be with him, kiss him, hug him, and even sleep with him because he doesn't want any sort of perfect child out of me. When we kissed you and me, it was empty, I couldn't feel anything other than you wanting something out of me.
On the other hand, when I kissed him just now, even when it was me who initiated the kiss, I could feel love from him, his embrace was calming, filled with warmth, not because of his quirk but because his heart was filled with love and care for me, he was worried for me, for my well being, he said the words I wanted to hear the most, even without me having to tell him anything.
It's actually funny, that All Might lost his family because of his dedication to hero work, and you lost your family because you wanted to be childish and wanted to beat All Might.
You have treated me as a nanny till now, and it won't change now. I'll come to prepare food and sleep in this house, other then that, I'll be with him for the whole day.
Fuyumi has left the house, she said she was tired of holding the family together when you guys didn't put any effort into holding the family together, she was tired of sacrificing her happiness to keep you guys together.
She will be living with someone else now, she came in the morning and took her belongings with her, I have met the person she's going to be living with, and I allowed her to stay with that person.
A relationship cannot be maintained one-sidedly, both the parties need to put in equal efforts, if not then at least they should be appreciative of people who are making efforts." Rei declared as she had a stern look on her face.
She turned on her heel and walked toward the stairs. Shoto and Natsuo quickly ducked out of sight, their hearts pounding with the realization of their own failings. They watched as Rei, her head held high, ascended the stairs, her steps resolute and unyielding.
As she reached the top, Rei didn't head to the room she had once shared with Enji. Instead, she went to Fuyumi's room, seeking comfort in her daughter's room.
She leaned against the closed door, her legs trembling as the enormity of what she had just done settled over her. She had finally stood up to Enji, and had finally taken control of her own life.
She felt a strange sense of happiness, as she felt it was all possible because of those comforting words that Izuku said that she realised that she was being scared for nothing.
Well the other reason was that she felt a sense of security in Izuku's presence, as if even if Enji tried to hurt her, she could always leave the house and be with Izuku.
Someone who would welcome her with open arms, as she knew Izuku's home felt more like a home to her, the place where she was safe, she was treated with love and care, her daughter was there, she was happy.
Not to forget there was Eri, whom she treated as her own daughter and who treated her as her mother, and if that was not enough, she had people like Kaina, who had gone through a lot and understood her state, and girls like Momo and Maki who were the same age as Shoto.
That place was home in every sense, as she knew Izuku would actually protect her, not just because she is his mother in law, but because he actually treated her as if she were his biological mother, and he really cared for her.
Back in the living room, Endeavour stood in stunned silence, his mind reeling from the confrontation. He had always been the one in control, the one who dictated the terms. But now, his world was crumbling around him, and there was nothing he could do to stop it.
He sank into a chair, his head in his hands, the weight of his own failures crashing down on him. He had lost Rei, had lost the one person who had ever truly cared for him but he was so delusional with stupid things that he never appreciated her efforts.
Shoto and Natsuo watched their father from the shadows, their hearts heavy with guilt. They knew they had to make amends, had to find a way to support their mother and sister. They whispered to each other, their voices filled with regret and determination.
"We need to apologize to Mom," Shoto said, his voice shaking. "We've ignored her suffering for too long. We need to show her that we care, that we're here for her."
Natsuo nodded, his eyes filled with a newfound resolve. "You're right. We've been so focused on our own pain that we forgot she was hurting too. We know she might not forgive us, but we need to apologize to her.."
Together, they watched as their mother's figure disappeared into Fuyumi's room, the weight of their guilt pressing down on them. They knew it wouldn't be easy, but they were determined to make amends, to rebuild their family from the ashes of their father's ambition and their negligence.
As Enji sat alone in the darkened room, his mind reeling from the confrontation, he realized that he had lost everything that truly mattered. His wife, his children, his family – all gone, lost to the flames of his own making.
All the more, his daughter who worked so hard to maintain the family also called it quits because she couldn't handle their behaviour. Now that he lost everything he should have been grateful of, but took for granted, he is left to pick up the pieces of a shattered life.
While this happened in Todoroki residency, Izuku returned home, he was still stunned from what had just happened.
As soon as Izuku came back, Fuyumi hugged him, as he asked, "Eri?"
"She's sound asleep, apparently she was very sleepy after the food, so Kaina took her to the bed, Kaina is now sleeping with her."
"Good," said Izuku as he kissed Fuyumi, and held him in his embrace tightly.
Fuyumi simply stayed in his embrace as she asked, "Izuku, what did you do? What took you soo long."
"What do you mean?" Izuku asked, unsure what Fuyumi was trying to ask.
"I felt a surge of emotions from that chip for my mother, and I can smell my mother's scent from you," asked Fuyumi with a happy smile, which didn't look like a happy smile at all, as she asked once more, "What did you do?"
"I kissed your mom," Izuku simply said what he did.
"You did what?" Fuyumi had tick marks on her face as she tightend her grip on Izuku.
"Exactly what you heard, I kissed your mom," said Izuku not feeling anything from the increase in Fuyumi's increased grip.
In fact it made her tits tightly rely pressed against Izuku's chest, which was awakening his little brother.
"May I ask why?" Asked Fuyumi, her face twitching as she couldn't handle how shameless Izuku had gotten.
"Well it was technically she who kissed me?" Said Izuku.
"Ohhh, so it was my mom that kissed you, may I ask why did my mom kiss you, did you seduce her? Did you put your hands on my mother as well?" Asked Fuyumi as her whole body was twitching.
"Well even I was surprised by her actions, I sensed that she was very sad, the whole time she was with us, I couldn't help it, you are the one who comforted me when I had no one else to do so, so I couldn't handle the fact that your mother was suffering in silence without anyone noticing it, so I decided to comfort her because no one was doing so.
I couldn't control my self, so I just hugged her and told her that she was doing great, and that I'm there for her if she needs help, she ended up crying her heart out, seeing her cry like that, I felt very sad for her, I couldn't see her cry like that, it broke my heart, so I hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead to comfort her.
Then she all of a sudden kissed me on my lips and went home, even I was shocked by her actions, but I could clearly tell she was suffering a lot and there wasn't a single person that comforted her, I don't blame you for neglecting your mother, cause I know you were worried about me.
But the fact that neither of your brothers or father comforted her made me think she needed at least someone she can rely on, so I comforted her, but I didn't anticipate she would be in such deplorable state, which made me think if she continued like this, she might harm herself or do something like harming your brothers or do something worse to herself.
I really couldn't help thinking she was in such a pitiful state, were you also not able to understand just how bad your mom's condition was?" Asked Izuku.
By this time Fuyumi's grip on Izuku had softened long ago, she had tears in her eyes as she felt very guilty for not understanding the state her mother was in.
Izuku comforted her as he said, "I know you might be angry at me for kissing your mom, but just from an hour with her alone I could tell she needed love, a lot more than you or anyone else here needs, Eri excluded.
She had gone through so much and all I could feel was misery from her, you might hate me for saying this, but I'll kiss her once more if she needs it, she needs love and care Fuyumi, or else I'm afraid you might lose your mother forever.
Her mental state isn't very nice Fuyumi, I suggest you talk to your mom tomorrow, comfort her, don't make her feel isolated or guilty for her actions, she was just desperate for love, if possible tell her that you aren't angry for what she just did.
You are mother and daughter, bonded by blood. Her actions might have been out of an impulse to do something like this with her son in law, so ask her nicely what she wishes to do.
"She needs someone Fuyumi, someone who cares for her, I hope you understand," said Izuku as he kissed Fuyumi and left to freshen himself up.
