‘'I was not expecting you to get a board game, let alone Monopoly,’' Natsuo said half an hour later as he opened the door for Dabi.  

‘'What can I say, I’m full of surprises.’'  

Dabi followed Natsuo to the living room, where Shouto and Fuyumi were already seated. When Fuyumi saw the game Dabi had brought, the first word out of her mouth was: ‘'No.’'  

‘'But why not?’' Dabi, now sporting a devious grin, asked.  

‘'What even is that game?’' Shouto asked.   

‘'Monopoly,’' Dabi replied. At Shouto’s questioning look, he turned to Fuyumi again. ‘'Look, Sho doesn’t even know what it is! He's never played it before, so can’t we try it?’'  

Quickly seeing what Dabi was doing, Natsuo joined in. ‘'Yes Fuyumi, please let us introduce Shouto to this wonderful game! You won't regret it!’'  

‘’Yeah, I want to try the game,’'  Shouto  stated. ‘'Please, Fuyu.’'  

Fuyumi threw her hands up. ‘'Fine! But,’' she added at Natsuo and  Dabi’s  cheering, ‘'I have a few rules.’' They quickly quieted down,  Dabi   quietely  booing.  

‘'Rule one, don’t flip the board. Rule two, don’t burn the board. Actually, don’t burn anything,’' she said with a pointed look towards both Dabi and Shouto. Dabi tried to look innocent and Shouto nodded his head. ‘'And rule number three, play fair.’' This time, the pointed look was directed towards Natsuo and Dabi. Both looked somewhat sheepish. ‘'I’ll stay here as a refugee, so don’t try anything,’' she added. Together they set up the board and started playing.  

They lasted a grand total of thirty minutes.  

‘'Natsuo cheated again!’'   

‘'What do you mean, again?! And I didn’t cheat!’'  

‘'Natsuo, get on top of the fridge!’' Fuyumi yelled over the screaming of her brothers. Seriously, one of them was a villain, a part of the League of Villains, and the other was studying at UA to become a hero, and they all should know better. ‘'Natsuo Todoroki! Get on top of the fridge!’' she yelled once the yelling only increased.  

‘'This house is a fucking nightmare!’' Natsuo yelled back while getting on top of the fridge.  

‘'When will you learn that your actions have consequences!’' Shouto yelled back, puberty making his voice crack near the end of the sentence. Dabi doubled over, chocking on his breath, laughing way to hard.  

None of them heard the front door open.  

Endeavor hadn’t had the greatest day, to say the least. A villain had escaped, and Endeavor had failed to catch him. It was probably all over the news now. On top of that, when he arrived home early, his children were in the company of the villain Dabi. Now, if said villain had been tied up, that wouldn’t have been a problem. However, as the situation in front of him played out, his children were having  fun  with the villain. Natsuo was sitting on top of the fridge, yelling something indistinguishable through the ringing in his ears. Fuyumi was grinning along with Shouto, and Dabi doubled over with laughter. A Monopoly board was thrown across the living room. He had to put a stop to this, because there was a  villain  in his  living room,  and his children seemed to be familiar with him.  

‘'What the hell is going on?!’' he yelled.   

Time seemed to have frozen. What was  he  doing home so early? Endeavor was supposed to be working right now. They were supposed to have the afternoon to themselves.  

That was the general train of thought that had taken over the siblings’ minds. They were all frozen in a mixture of fear and dread, the fun atmosphere of a few seconds ago suddenly as dead as Endeavor thought Touya was.  

‘'You’re home early,’' Natsuo stated after a few minutes of everyone just staring at each other.  

‘'Yes, and thanks to that, I finally have a chance to catch  you, ’' Endeavor said to Dabi, with so much hatred and spite in his voice that everyone flinched. ‘'What are you doing in my house?’'  

‘'Well... uh...’' Dabi’s mind, always helpful, stayed perfectly blank except for one thought: ‘fuck fuck fuck-’  

‘'Well, it doesn’t matter,’' Endeavor stated, walking towards Dabi. ‘'Because I’m going to put you behind bars once and for all.’'  

‘'Do they serve beer at these bars, by any chance?’' Dabi couldn’t help but quip back. It clearly was not appreciated, as Endeavor’s flames grew bigger while he sneered at him. Natsuo made a sound somewhere between a snicker and a choke.  

Endeavor suddenly lunged forward, like a predator wanting to catch his prey.  Dabi  rolled to the side just in time to avoid getting hit. This seemed to shake the others out of their frozen state, as they were now backing up and watching the fight.   

Shouto stepped forward to try to stop their dad from killing their brother, but Fuyumi reached over and stopped him. ‘'Shouto,’' she whispered, tears in her eyes, ‘'don’t. Please. You can’t stop him, and I don’t want you to get hurt. Please,’' she added at the look he was giving her.   

‘'So dad can hurt T- Dabi, but not me? How's that fair?’' he shot back, displeasure clear in his voice.  

‘'I know what it sounds like, but I don’t want to risk-’'  

‘'Watch out!’' Natsuo shouted, as  Dabi  blindly dodged in whatever direction he could, resulting in him ducking towards them. Endeavor, blinded by rage and his goal to capture  Dabi  no matter what, dashed towards him, flames already shooting towards them.   

‘'No!’' Dabi yelled, as the flames went straight towards Fuyumi and Shouto. He got up and ran towards them, the only thing on his mind was protecting his siblings against their father, as he had done all those years ago-  

Which clearly wasn’t that necessary anymore, as Shouto put up a wall of ice between Endeavor and the three of them. Fuyumi shot Shouto a look.  

‘'Well, I couldn’t do nothing!’' Shouto defended himself.  

‘'Yeah, but-’'  

‘'Thanks for that, scrub,’' Dabi said, a small smile on his face. Shouto only nodded at him, but the small smile he also had on his face spoke louder than words.  

They stayed in a bit of tense silence after that, listening for any signs Endeavor could come through the thick blockade of ice anytime soon. They could heard him yell and rage on the other side of the ice. Suddenly, Fuyumi’s face became white as if she saw a ghost.  

‘'Natsuo...!’' she gasped.   

Dabi blanched. ‘'Oh fuck,’' he swore. Shouto looked guilty. ‘'I’m sorry, I didn’t think-’' he started.  

Dabi quickly walked over to him. ‘'Hey, no, it’s not your fault. You gave a stress-fueled response in the best way you could, thinking that was the best course of action in that moment.’'  

Fuyumi gaped at him. ‘'How... When did you get so grown-up?’'  

Dabi shrugged. ‘'Once an older sibling, always an older sibling. It's part of the job description.’'  

Shouto still looked doubtful, so Dabi went on: ‘'’He won’t hurt Natsuo. As much as I hate to say it, do you really think the old man payed enough attention to him on his way in?’'  

‘'Well, he was sitting on top of the fridge...’'  

‘'Stop being so anxious, you little moron. Everything will be fine.’'  

As if on queue, someone tapped on the window. Fuyumi walked over and opened it, then gasped. ‘'Natsuo! How’d you get out?’' At the mention of their brother’s name, Dabi and Shouto also walked to the window.  

‘'Got off the fridge without him noticing me and then walked out the front door,’' Natsuo answered with a little smile. ‘'So how have you been holding up? That wall of ice was impressive!’'  

‘'Well our sperm donor hasn’t melted his way through yet, so I’m counting it as a win,’' Dabi answered dryly. ‘'And try telling Sho that, I’m sure he almost had a breakdown once he realised you was still with him.’'   

Natsuo blinked owlishly at them for a few seconds, and then the meaning of those words sank in. ‘'Shouto Todoroki, don’t you dare blame yourself. This isn’t your fault,’' he said sternly.  

Shouto frowned, clearly not really believing him, but he nodded anyway. Sighing, Fuyumi raked a hand through her hair. Her brothers were impossible sometimes.  

‘'Okay, so the old man hasn’t realized I’ve snuck out yet,’' Natsuo said, ‘'Wanna try our luck and escape?’'  

Dabi looked at him, dubious. ‘'I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but I look like a burnt chicken nugget and it’s like, the middle of the afternoon,’' Dabi said dryly, ignoring Shouto’s sarcastic, ‘'Wow really?’'. ‘'People would recognize me.’'  

‘'Do you have a better idea?’' Fuyumi asked. Dabi sighed.  

‘'Fine. Let's go then,’' he said while jumping out of the window. Shouto and Fuyumi followed, and together they ran towards the gate that kept their house separated from the rest of the world. At the gate, they looked at each other, then back to the house, and walked through the gate, towards freedom.  

When Endeavor finally managed to melt his way through the ice Shouto, the ungrateful brat, had put up, he saw no one in the room. The window stood wide open. Clearly Dabi had escaped. But where were Shouto, Natsuo and Fuyumi? Had that villain kidnapped his children? Endeavor saw red at the idea.   

Quickly, he contacted the police. He explained the situation and told them to keep their eyes out for Dabi and his children. When that was done, he stomped outside to look for them as well.  How dare that villain kidnap his children.  

‘'Where are we? It feels like we’ve waked for hours,’' Natsuo asked.  

‘'We’ve been walking for 45 minutes, stop whining, supportive character,’' Dabi said.  

‘'Did- did you hurt your head during the fight or something? Because you’re talking nonsense right now,’' Fuyumi asked worriedly.  

‘'Hey look, a McDonalds,’' Shouto pointed, effectively cutting off whatever argument would have started otherwise.  

‘'Great, I’m hungry, let’s go!’' Natsuo declared, already running towards it. ‘'Last person to be there has to pay!’'   

Dabi also started running after that statement, not willing to pay (aka he’s broke). Shouto followed shortly after, despite having Endeavor’s credit card on him. Fuyumi shook her head despite the small smile on her face.  

‘'Brothers,’' she muttered. ‘'Children, all of them.’'  

Once she entered, she saw that Dabi, Natsuo and Shouto had already taken a seat. Multiple people were staring at them, whispering among themselves, no doubt about a member of the League of Villains being in this place, along with Endeavor’s kids.  

Dabi was already entertaining Shouto and Natsuo with some tale of another, the other two hanging onto every word like small children hearing a tale full of fantasy.  

‘'So then I was like, ‘Dude, are you sure about this?’ and I swear, this crazy motherfucker actually had the guts to say ‘nope, but I’m doing it anyway’-’'  

‘'Sounds like someone I know,’' Fuyumi sarcastically said, finally arriving at the table. Dabi flashed her a smile. ‘'I know right, it’s crazy. And since you’re the last one to arrive, you have to pay! I want a McFlurry.’'  

‘'Or,’' Shouto intervened, ‘'we could pay with dad’s credit card.’'  

‘'No way,’' Natsuo said.  

‘'Yes way,’' Dabi replied, an evil grin on his face. ‘'Nevermind the McFlurry, I want a Gran Club House  and  a McFlurry.’'  

‘'I’m going with a Big Mac and a Coke,’' Natsuo said with a grin.  

‘'I’ll take the Grand Teriyaki Burger,’' Shouto said, handing over the credit card. Fuyumi huffed.  

‘'Fine, I’ll be back in a couple of minutes. Don't cause any trouble,’' she ordered. This was met with a chorus of ‘'Of course not!’', ‘'We would never!’', and ‘'C’mon, do you really think we’d cause any trouble?’'. Fuyumi scoffed.  Brothers.   

When she was gone, Dabi turned towards Natsuo and Shouto again. ‘'So anyway, they were like ‘'I’m gonna do it’', so of course, I was like ‘'No you’re not’' and long story short, the mad lad actually did it! Can you believe that?’'  

‘'They... they  actually jumped  off a mountain without a parachute? And they landed on a moving train?  And  they survived?’'  Shouto  asked, disbelief clear in his voice.  

‘'Yeah, and-’'  

‘'Food’s here,’' Fuyumi cut him off.  

‘'Can you stop cutting me off for like, ten minutes or so?’' Dabi asked sarcastically.  

‘'I will when you stop being a bad influence to Shouto and Natsuo,’' Fuyumi bit back. Natsuo whistled. ‘'Daaaamn, she got you. Good job Fuyu!’'  

After a bit of squabbling, they started eating their food, talking and joking like nothing was out of the ordinary. Of course, peace had to be ruined. Endeavor walked into the McDonalds when they just finished eating.  

‘'Dabi!’' he shouted. Multiple people started freaking out at the sudden appearance of the hero, deciding that watching a fight between a hero and a villain wasn’t worth their possible death.  

‘'Sup,’' Dabi said, laid back as ever (that is a lie. Dabi is stressed the fuck out). ‘'Want a chicken nugget?’’  

That made Endeavor pause in his tracks. ‘'They’re not poisoned, are they?’'  

‘'I mean, Fuyumi ordered them and she isn’t dead yet, so I’m assuming they aren’t,’' Natsuo replied mockingly.  

Dabi got an idea. He reached over to the chicken nugget, which immediately made Endeavor even more alert. Once he had grabbed a chicken nugget, he looked at it, then at Endeavor, and back again. This went on for multiple minutes. Finally, Endeavor had enough.  

‘'I have no idea what you are trying to do, villain, but-,’' Endeavor angrily began, but was cut off by a chicken nugget hitting his eye.  

Dabi grinned, arm still stretched forward. Then he cheered. ‘'Oh hell yes, I got 50 points on my first try!’'  

‘'How does this game work, brother?’' Shouto asked. Endeavor paused and started spluttering.  Dabi  grinned.  

‘'I’m glad ya asked, lil’ Sho. You see, you need to hit the target, in this case dear old dad. His arm is worth 5 points, his forehead 25 points, the rest of his face is worth 15 points, his eyes are 50 points. If you manage to actually somehow kill the bastard, then you got infinite points and my utmost respect.’' Shouto nodded at that, an evil glint in his eyes. ‘'And anywhere else on his body?’'  

‘'2 points,’' Dabi replied, but then he leaned in and whispered: ‘'His crotch is worth 100 points. Make sure it hurts, though.’'  

‘'Can we get more chicken nuggets?’' Shouto asked.  

‘'Sure, I’ll go get them,’' Fuyumi sighed. She had to admit the idea was fun, but the consequences wouldn’t be nearly as great.  

Dabi reached over, grabbing two chicken nuggets this time. After handing one of them over to Natsuo, who looked ready to actually kill Endeavor with a chicken nugget, he chucked it to Endeavor.  

‘'Wait a minute! What do you mean, brother, and dad?! No way one of my children is a villain!’' Endeavor ranted, dodging the chicken nuggets.   

‘'Well too bad, cuz here I am,’' Dabi replied, chucking chicken nugget after chicken nugget. Somewhere, a certain red-winged hero shuddered.  

‘'You are not my son,’' Endeavor spat. ‘'There’s no way-’'  

‘'Extra chicken nuggets are here,’' Fuyumi cut him off, placing a tray with a couple of boxes of chicken nuggets.  

‘'Dad’s card?’' Natsuo asked. Shouto rolled his eyes. ‘’Like you had to ask,’' Fuyumi quipped back, chewing a chicken nugget.  

‘'What are all of you even doing, hanging around with a villain?!’' Endeavor screeched.  

‘'You mean our brother?’' Shouto asked, chucking another chicken nugget. This one hit Endeavor’s throat, which made him wheeze and choke for air.  

‘'Good one!’' Dabi said gleefully, high-fiving Shouto. The siblings started bombarding Endeavor with chicken nuggets. Once Endeavor started to breath normally again and managed a weak, ‘'What the fuck is happening?’', Dabi opened his mouth once again.  

‘'What’s wrong, old man? You don’t like the chicken nuggets? Cuz these are the best goddamn chicken nuggets in town. Honestly, I could eat here forever, and only eat the chicken nuggets. I'd never get sick of them. Maybe I should bring some to the League, they’d probably love the chicken nuggets.’'  

‘'Dude,’' Natsuo said, with feeling, ‘'what the fuck was that?’'  

‘'I dunno, chicken nuggets,’' Dabi shrugged.  

Shouto nodded. ‘'Fair enough.’'  

‘'No but seriosuly, what the fuck is happening?’' a reporter asked, approaching the table.  

‘'Did you mean: what the hap is fuckening?’' Natsuo replied. Dabi just hissed and threw a chicken nugget at the reporter.   

‘'No off topic questions,’' Shouto replied.   

‘'Why?’' the reporter asked, the poor innocent soul.  

‘'Because I don’t want to,’' Shouto replied easily. The reporter screeched in agony and walked away.  

‘'Weak bitch,’' Fuyumi said. Shouto snorted.  

‘'Holy fuck, Fuyu just fucking sweared!’' Natsuo cried.  

‘'Enough!’' Endeavor bellowed. ‘'As your father and pro hero, I demand you step away from the villain!’'  

‘'Yeah, and why would we do that?’' Shouto snarked back. ‘'So far he’s been treating us better than you have our whole lifes!’'  

This got an ‘' Ooooh ’' from Dabi and a ‘'Exposed!’' from Natsuo.  

‘'You will step away now, or-!’' Endeavor got cut of, suddenly making a choking noise. Everyone looked at Natsuo, who had thrown a chicken nugget right in Endeavor’s mouth. Or throat.  

‘'Natsu, did you just...?’' Fuyumi trailed off at the end, looking shocked at her brother.  

‘'I... I think I did,’' Natsuo answered, looking shocked as well. The siblings decided to ignore Endeavor’s choking and just talk some more, while everyone else was freaking out. Then, they heard a loud thump and turned around. Silence filled the McDonalds, as Endeavor laid on the floor, dead.  

‘'Oh my god, he’s mcfucking dead, dudes,’' Dabi declared, wheezing. ‘'Natsuo, I didn’t think you had it in you! Great throw!’'  

‘'I didn’t know either,’' he stammered. ‘'What the fuck just happened.’'  

‘'You killed Endeavor,’' Shouto replied, staring at Endeavor’s corpse. ‘'What the fuck.’'  

‘'Okay, great, how do we not get caught by the police?’' Fuyumi asked.  

‘'Just... I don’t know, follow me. And leave the chicken nuggets,’' Dabi replied with a glare, directed to Natsuo, who pouted. ‘'Why won’t you let me have any fun?’'  

‘'We need to leave before the cops show up!’'  

“Okay but where are we going to go?” Fuyumi asked worriedly.  

“Let’s just focus on escaping first,” Shouto said.  

“Good idea. Now here's what we're gonna do…”  

Somehow,  Dabi's  plan worked and they escaped. Now, they were chatting as if nothing was wrong.  

‘'What’s with you and Hawks, anyway?’' Fuyumi asked. Dabi turned an interesting shade of red.  

‘'Nothing! Absolutely nothing! Why would there be anything between us-’'  

Natsuo and Shouto shared a look. ‘'Yeah, right,’' Natsuo drawled.  

Right at that moment, Dabi’s phone pinged, notifying him of a text. Dabi got it out and read it, before burying his face in his hands and groaning.  

‘'Oooh, what’d it say?’' Natsuo asked.   

‘'None of your business,’' Dabi replied bluntly.  

‘'I’m your brother, of course it’s my business!’' Natsuo objected. When Dabi didn’t answer, Natsuo huffed.  

‘'Fine, I guess I just gotta get the phone then,’' Natsuo stated. Dabi shot up.  

‘'Hell no, back off,’' he growled, taking a defensive pose.  

‘'Nah,’' Natsuo responded. Soon the two were wrestling for the phone.   

‘'Give it here!’' Natsuo yelled.  

‘'Fuck no, Natsu, no way!’'  

‘'Yes way!’'  

‘'No way!’'  

‘'Gerard Way,’' Shouto mumbled.  

‘'Who’s that?’' Fuyumi asked. Shouto shrugged. ‘'One of my classmates likes his music.’'  

Seeing Dabi lean back to get the phone away from Natsuo, he stood up and walked over. In a swift motion, he grabbed the phone out of Dabi’s hand. He looked at the text Dabi received.  

(16:27)  BirdBae:  hey hot stuff, is game night still on?  

(17:57)  BirdBae :  j ust watched the news, tell Natsuo he did a good job!   

Grinning, he turned to Dabi. ‘'Are you sure the two of you really aren’t together?’'  

Natsuo shot up, focusing on Shouto. ‘'Let me see that text!’'  

Dabi jumped at him. ‘'No!’'  

And thus the wrestling started all over again.   

Fuyumi sighed. This was going to be a long  night.
