Chapter Text
Touya woke up to an agonizing headache and an unbearable pounding on the door. He groaned and turned over in his bed burying his head under the pillow.
The pounding got louder.
He slowly rolled over and stood up and immediately sat back as the world around him erupted in a sharp pain.
He dug his fists into his hands, shaking his head and groaning at the fillers of pain in his temples.
Blindly and stumbling he hobbled over to the door and opened it only to be met by a wall of indiscernible noise.
Somebody hugged him then pushed him away, someone grabbed his chin, opened his mouth and pushed him away. He was pulled and pushed through the suite, somehow finding himself and other silhouettes in his bathroom.
Water was dunked on him, clearing his head enough for the silhouettes to gain features.
Toga, Jin and Spinner.
Thank God.
Wait..
Toga, Jin and Spinner.
Oh shit.
He tried to move, turning his head to face them, opening his mouth….
A toothbrush was pushed into his hand. He looked up at the green snout of Spinner, who patted his wet hair.
" Don't worry pretty boy, they won't destroy anything, only look around."
Flashing a lizardy smile he left the door leaving Touya wallowing in misery and fear for his suite, holding his toothbrush like a lifeline.
***
Ten or twenty minutes later he found himself sitting in a private booth, glaring at Tenko's amused smile and nursing a glass of water and an aspirin tablet.
" How much did you drink last night ? " Tenko asked sardonically.
" None of your business." Touya growled at him.
" Dude, you should have seen how you looked in the morning. You could have challenged the most disgusting, soul crushing zombie and won. " Tenko said, leaning back in his seat and smirking.
" You sure did and you smelled like the sewers." Spinner quipped from where he was sitting next to Tenko, playing on his switch.
Touya scoffed and drank his water. He could feel Ten watching him.
" What ? "
Tenko shrugged, " I just don't know why you drank so much. She was an NPC, you can do better."
He swallowed and levelled his own smirk at him, " Awww, dusty have you started to care ? "
Tenko flipped him off , " It's not my opinion. I am telling you so that your siblings can stop badgering me. "
He pouted, " What, are you saying that you won't care if I die from heartbreak ? "
" I would push you off the cliff to end your misery if you want me too."
" That's actually kind of sweet, crusty kane. Are you sure you didn't hit your head? ."
" FUCK OFF "
" Guys, everything's settled. "
Touya turned and looked in confusion at Jin and Toga who were being followed by a group of waiters with several plates of food.
Touya stared as the food was placed in front of them. Salads, different types of pasta, rice, some type of curry that he will never touch, chicken dishes, meat dishes, soups and desserts.
He raised an eyebrow, " Are we going to spend the entire day here eating ?"
Toga grinned and waved at the retreating waiters then turned to him, " We haven't had much time to spend together so today will be our day off. "
" And who is going to pay for this ? " Spinner asked through a mouth full of pasta.
" Close your mouth while chewing. " Touya snapped at him. "And Toga, who is going to pay for this ?"
Toga just sipped her water innocently. His stomach dropped. He frantically searched through his pockets, when his search didn't yield anything, he turned towards the chaotic duo in betrayal.
" Chill muh Dude, your father is the number two hero, this is not enough to even form a dent. " Jin said while attacking a dish like a wild animal.
" And you never treated us after your movie gig you bastard. So we took matters into our own hands. "
" You treated yourselves with my money after KIDNAPPING ME!!."
Toga scoffed, " We didn't kidnap you. We saved you. "
" HUH?"
" Bro you were very out of sorts. I am surprised you weren't robbed. And we used your dad's spare credit card, not yours. " Jin continued.
" How the fuck do you know which is which?"
" The amount of times you flaunted it in front of us. Oh look at me I am so petty I am going to use my dad's credit card." Tenko said in a very whiny voice, holding a forkful of spaghetti and waving it around.
" I don't sound like that and stop waving that around you are going to hit…...
………..Now look at what you've done."
" Now you really sounded like that." Jin said, picking the spaghetti off his head and flinging it at a laughing Toga.
Touya proceeded to ignore the flying food projectiles. He would have to make them clean the mess up.
He looked at Spinner who was trying to eat his food and prevent Jin from smearing ketchup on him at the same time.
At Least the food is not getting on the ground.
He filled his bowl with some cornflower chicken soup and comfortably dug in.
***
" Touya " he looked up at Tenko who was staring at his phone.
" What"
" You should look for more security options if this goes on you are bound to get stalkers. "
Touya frowned at him, gently placing the spoon near the empty bowl, " Why do you think I will get stalkers ?"
Tenko didn't take his eyes off his phone and said nonchalantly " You acted in a movie."
Touya chortled, " One shitty movie about a hero turned serial killer is not going to make me a celebrity, dusty." He shook his head and took some cream cheese pasta with chicken. He took a bite and felt four sets of eyes on him. He looked up and was met with their surprised and disbelieving faces.
" What?"
Tenko gaped and searched his face, " You don't know. Guys he doesn't know. "
" Know What."
" How could you not know? Does that mean he …." Toga gasped "didn't realise this is a celebration."
He's getting confused, " Know what. And you used my money…"
" OMG, he doesn't have a clue." He heard Spinner tell Tenko who started laughing.
" Touya, how did you not know…. .wait where's your phone ?...." He glared at Jin and took his phone out.
His very dead phone.
Jin snatched his phone and tried to switch it on. It didn't even vibrate.
" Seriously. Todoroki, this is why trouble follows you everywhere." Spinner laughed at him as Jin and Toga tried to wake his phone up with a power bank.
And he still doesn't understand what's going on.
He picked up a spoon and threw it across the table at Tenko, who didn't even react to it hitting his head and instead laughed harder.
Toga followed him. The booth filled with their laughter and Touya was reaching his limit.
" WHAT IS GOING ON ? " He finally shouted at them using his dad's glare paired with his mother's ice cold expression.
It always works. But not on these idiots.
Expect one. Spinner flinched when their eyes met. Touya felt a little guilty but he really wants to know.
Spinner cleared his throat, " So you do know that the world release was yesterday, right. "
Touya looked at him in disgust, " Of course I know, I acted in it and I went to the party, panels and the meetings and got dumped. Why do you think I got so…….shut up , Shimura."
" Well, you know how it is and apparently Japan's insistence on delaying the movie pissed off a lot of fans of Mr Cameron."
Touya was annoyed at that news.
His homeland was never going to release a movie that showed heroes, even one in a bad light. And even if he got the role as an accident he had already discussed the possibilities of him getting targeted by conservatives in his homeland with his co workers.
It's nothing new and he doesn't care and neither did the director. if creators got afraid of criticism, there won't be any quality art left. And the only people whose opinion matters loved the movie and his acting.
( Talking about that he should call his mother and apologise for the late calls. There's bound to be many missed calls. He can't blame her, seeing your eldest almost dying on a big screen is going to scar any mother. )
" So the fans created a petition and within hours It got almost 50k signatures." Touya raised his eyebrows.
" And this "shitty movie" is predicted to be on the Oscar roster next year." Tenko stopped his laughter to declare that and went on laughing.
Jin continued, looking up from his smartphone operation " The movie garnered rave reviews everywhere else in the world and clips have gone viral, especially" He stopped to waggle his eyebrows at him, " the gorgeous son of the police officer who almost got killed by the serial killer but escaped with his own brilliant plan."
Touya gaped at him.
Toga rolled her eyes and a phone was pushed onto his face. " You've gone viral, idiot."
He looked down at the screen showing twitter with a clip playing on a loop. It was him and he recognised the scene. The scene was simple enough. It was the first meeting of the would-be victim and the killer. Touya's character, Tian Makov, the genius quirkless police officer who must have called to laugh at his popularity, was a bar singer during his early twenties.
The scene in question made him croon into a microphone wearing black and illuminated under a gentle blue light. The cinematographer was responsible in making him as alluring as possible, gaining the immediate interest of the killer, a perfect victim with beauty and grace.
The killer, an evil hero drunk with power who started targeting weaker humans, was infatuated with the young singer and relentlessly pursued him, gaining his trust and love.
The killer soon realised he bit more than he can chew as Tian Makov was resourceful, intelligent and brave. He tricked him, escaped and brought America's attention to corrupted heroes.
The added fact of it being a true story piqued Touya's interest and that was the only reason he agreed to the role.
His hair was dyed black and his usual piercings were allowed in certain scenes. He thought he looked okay. (Fuyumi was of the opinion that they made him too sexy.)
He only cared about his acting. Even if it was by accident he still gave it his all.
According to the audience though , he's the most talented, amazing, beautiful, lustful, sexy Adonis to ever walk the earth.
He stared at Tenko, " Adonis, really?"
" Your fans mostly consist of young kids and lonely adult women, don't let it get to your head. " Tenko said, without meeting his eyes.
Touya grinned at him , " Are you jealous, baby?".
" I feel sorry for your fans. Who's going to pay for their ocular surgery?"
Toga groaned, " There he goes, with his fancy words."
Touya nobbed at her, " Yeah, Tenko just say eyes like a normal person."
He placed his chin on his hand and tilted his head, smiling bashfully." Besides, why should I care about them you're my one and only."
Tenko mimicked vomiting into the plate. But the blush on his cheeks told Touya that his tactic was effective. Even if they were not each other's type, ( Tenko is bi with a preference for women and Touya doesnt care about labels, he'll fuck whoever he wants) they were not blind to each others attractiveness.
(But if he had worked for it , they have been told they would make a good couple.)
His phone switched on and promptly vibrated off the table with the power bank attached to it, followed by three pairs of hands trying to catch it.
Touya collided with Jin's head, he let out a cry and he heard Toga's yelp from somewhere nearby. Thankfully his phone got cushioned in Jin's hands.
Clutching his head he surfaced from under the table only to be met with Tenko's cackling.
Yeah, definitely not going to date that asshole.
" Dude, you are fucked." Jin declared with emotion, holding his phone which was open to the contacts.
Touya gulped as he saw the screen, fear rising in him.
Mother 42 missed calls
Father 24 missed calls
Four eyes 30 missed calls
Polar bear 20 missed calls
Peppermint 14 missed calls
He's fucked. His hand shaking, he dialled his mother first.
" Hi, mom "
" Hi ? That's the only thing you have to say." She's using her coldest voice, level 12. The voice that even his old man is scared off.
" I am sorry, mommy. " Toga mouthed mommy, mockingly. Touya pinched her.
"My phone was switched off and I won't do it again. "
" That's not what Tenko said. "
He widens his eyes at the jerk who's smugly drinking his water. Nope, never dating him.
" What did he say?"
" That you got drunk and forgot to charge your phone. '' her voice rose a little.
Enough for Touya to abandon any lie and go for the truth.
" Yes, I am sorry. " He put as much sincerity into his voice as he could.
" I have told you a hundred times that I don't care about what parties you go to as long as you are respectable and know how to take care of yourself. Do you call this respectable ?. Natsu told me that you are the only one who hasn't given a thank you message to the fans. And on top of that, you are not picking up your calls. "
Fuck you , Natsu. I am not talking to you ever again.
" I am sorry. I just fell asleep."
That was a mistake, the dam broke.
" Do you know how worried I was ? A hundred missed calls and you were not taking any of them. I even made your father call you. God knows you won't listen to me. You don't listen to your poor mother. And Tenko told me you haven't eaten anything."
He glared at him, Tenko winked back.
" You're in another country, I am not there to look after you. So the least you could do is listen to your well meaning friends…….
…...Touya Todoroki, Are you listening to me ? "
Full name. Shit.
" Yes."
" You should. Everyday I have to wake up and do you know what I think about first. That my son is stuck in a country with soggy fatty food and I am even more stressed when I hear that you are not eating much. It's not too hard to take care of yourself, Touya. I Said I would come and live there but you won't allow me too so I trusted you to take care of yourself but look at this, you……"
***
Twenty minutes later he put the phone down and lowered his forehead onto the table, next to the now empty plate. ( She even made him eat right then and there, putting the call on speaker).
Somebody patted his back.
" This is why…" Spinner started to say, Touya raised a hand to stop him.
" Don't "
" Okay, jeez"
" Are you going to call the others ?" Toga asked empathically. The only girl in the group and living in another country, she gets daily calls like this and is the only one to truly understand.
" I don't have the energy to do it. "
Tenko snorted, " Knowing them I am sure they would have been eavesdropping. "
Touya sighed, of course they would.
And right on cue, his phone announced that he had a message. Tenko picked it up and a moment later, polar bear's belly laugh filled the booth.
His friends laughed with him, " It's just more and more voice notes of him laughing." Tenko informed him.
Touya just sighed. Why couldn't he have been an only child ?
" oh, Fuyumi send a message. " You deserved it. I will call you later, chibi nii-chan." Toga relayed the message, punctuated with her giggles.
" I love it when one of them calls you chibi - nii chan." Jin said, patting his back. Touya turned his head to glare at him.
" What, it's cute. "
" Look, shoto send one too. '' Touya raised his head a little. At least his cute little brother respects him….
He said, " Mom really chewed you out. Are You Dead ?. Even if you are, tell Tenko nii to send me some games."
Touya placed his head back on the table. Stupid brats. No respect.
" Awww, he's so cute. Himiko, we will go tomorrow to the store and buy some games." Tenko excitedly told Toga who was nobbing along while clapping her hands.
Brother stealers.
" Guys, look at what endeavour said." Spinner told them, leaning over and showing his phone to the others. Touya doesn't want to know, anything that's going to come out of his old man's mouth is going to be embarrassing as hell.
The others started laughing even harder. Toga hurriedly took out her own phone and typed something.
" Touya, listen to this. '' Endeavour, Japan's number two hero's PR office, crashed because of excessive online traffic".
Holy shit…..
" The flame hero announced that he has no plans to marry his eldest son off at only 22 years of age. When asked about his son's role in the controversial movie, he replied that
" He's very proud of his son for taking on the role and that he had performed masterfully.
When asked about the position of heroes Endeavor replies as such,
" Heroes are human and as humans they could and would act in unheroic ways. What one hero did should not affect how you see the countless number of hardworking heroes. For every corrupted hero, ten loyal ones are there to take his place." Toga quoted.
Touya's felt heat rising to his cheeks and ears. Of course the old man was gonna say that. Of course.
Still he smiled at how he told the world that he's proud of his son. Of him, Touya, the one with the broken quirk.
He knows that his insecurity was just a habit. A scapegoat for his own mistakes. He's better now, way better.
And thus he allowed himself to acknowledge the rising happiness in him. Allowed himself to feel proud of his own accomplishments.
" Awwww…… look at that smile. Touya, you look adorable. " Toga said, reaching over and squishing his cheeks, holding his head up.
" Wait, it's not over. '' Touya raised an eyebrow, prompting Jin to continue.
"The flame hero's PR office issued a statement that they will not be entertaining any fan mail for a while. Also strict instructions have been given to the cyber police regarding certain extolling fan mail that they received in regard to Mr Touya Todoroki."
" Extolling fan mail, please just say thirst mails." Spinner smirked at him.
Touya smirked back. Now sexy thoughts that's something he's 100 percent confident in.
" But seriously mailing those types of stuff to Endeavour, your fans got spunk. "
" Not as much as the fans who sent marriage proposals. One of them even sent a ring. That's what your father messaged you about, asking if you wanted to get married."
Touya rolled his eyes, an exasperated sigh escaping his lips. " I 've been getting marriage proposals since I was sixteen. I don't know why he asks that , every time. "
Spinner widened his eyes, " Since sixteen? ".
Touya waved him off, " The marriage will happen after I become an adult. They probably needed a head start. A subscription, if you put it mildly. "
They all looked disgusted. Touya felt himself smile. He 's got some good friends even if they are noisy.
" That's shit. I thought your dad was a hero. " Toga looked offended.
Touya frowned, thoughtfully, " Dad's open minded in some ways. But he still has some...traditional views. Like he doesn't care if I date anyone but if I am going to marry then it would be with someone of rank, you know. And it would be an elaborate fancy wedding. "
Jin narrowed his eyes, " I won't call that open minded. " Tenko and Toga nobbed, agreeing with him. While Spinner was trying to hide himself.
Touya reached and pinched Spinner, giving him an incredulous look. He shrugged " He's way better then some bigoted idiots. And besides I am not going to marry so dad can go and screw himself. And Fuyumi had already put her foot down. All of us are as stubborn as him. It's not going to happen. If we are going to marry we won't care about their social status nor their " he gave spinner a pointed look " Quirks".
Spinner relaxed, Toga and Jin clapped hooting and Tenko raised his glass of water to him. " Hear, Hear ". He drank to him. Touya just shook his head at their antics, and shared a smile and commiserating look with Spinner.
He doesn't completely understand why spinner still thinks he's going to say some stupid shit to him.
Always on the lookout.
But he's not going to make him uncomfortable.
In any way.
***
They left the restaurant weighted with parcels of food. At least they won't have to worry about dinner. And the cab driver seemed happy when they gave him some desserts.
They stopped at the park near their dorm, opting to walk even while carrying a lot of packets. Touya was thankful for that decision, his queasy stomach settling as he breathed in the ocean air.
(Thank god he found a dorm facing the ocean)
"Spinner, what were you saying about that petition? " Touya slowed down a little to listen better to Spinner's answer who was walking right behind him.
" What… … oh the Cameron Petition. Well it got a lot of signatures and that's bound to get the higher ups attention. But the damage is already done, check the news. The clips are going viral and surprisingly a lot of people are supporting the release of the movie in Japan. " He took out his phone and showed it to Toga. " Many of the younger heroes are supporting. "
" Oooh look at this. It's the bunny hero, she said if she had met the serial killer hero she would have kicked him to the stratosphere. "
" She's too violent. " Tenko looked over his shoulder to declare the obvious.
" No, she's a badass and hot." Toga argued.
" You find everyone hot. " Jin muttered from beside him.
" She always uses her full strength against the villains. I once saw a video of her kicking a villain real hard in the stomach. That could have resulted in his death. And he wasn't even a super villain or whatever they call the dangerous ones. He was just a petty thief. " Tenko argued back. And Touya sort of agreed with him. That was one of the most frequent arguments that he had with his dad.
Of burns recklessly left on humans.
He's better now. Lots better.
" A petty thief who probably would have used his quirk to harm civilians. Heroes have to use force. " Toga said back, unwavering in her faith in heroes.
" There are other ways to subdue people than kicking someone in their vital parts. And a hero's job should be saving people and that should include villains. "
" I never said villains aren't people. And even All Might uses force. "
" All might doesn't use unnecessary force to subdue villains. His priority is to save people. " Tenko snapped, his defensive All Might fanboy button got pressed.
Toga rolled her eyes, " Have you seen his punches? ".
Tenko looked furious and Touya tuned him out when he opened his mouth to defend his favourite hero. Touya wasn't the only one, Jin had already given his complete attention to his phone.
Touya followed his example. And was met with countless messages.
He bypassed Instagram, Tiktok ( why does he have that app) and searched for the petition in Twitter avoiding the trending touyatodoroki hashtag.
He was surprised to see the number of Japanese heroes supporting the movie.

@Endeavor. I did not know you have a very hot son. I am sad and betrayed.
This movie should be shown at every multiplex . I read reviews. Trust me.
This is the type of movie, that could help in the long run. It displays the real life heroes have, apart from the blitz and glamour.
It's horrible that someone like Dust Blower who was an amazing hero turned up like that because of material reasons. I assure you that if one of our heroes does this we fellow heroes will catch them and bring them to justice.
@ Dabi, you're amazing.
@Endeavor why did you hide him? P.S I am stil mad.

@Mirko Ikr
Well probably the movie wasn't what made some people excited. He can live with that.
Touya looked at the tweets again. Hawks wasn't the only who were forward with their attraction.
Touya was flattered. And pleased. So he interrupted the ongoing hero criticism debate to display his phone.
" Check out who all wants to fuck me. "
Tenko turned disgusted eyes on him. " I don't want to know that. "
" Who? " Toga snatched his phone and squealed, completely forgetting about her argument.
" Hawks!!! , wow!!" She yelled.
Jin shushed her then gave him an impressed look.
" You lucky bastard. " Spinner said.
Touya scoffed, " It's just a tweet. "
Tenko looked critical, " I think he's joking. "
" And why is that, your dusty majesty? " Toga mocked.
" I am just saying that I think he's taking advantage of the attention. " Tenko had already geared himself for round two.
" Um. Guys" They turned towards Spinner who was staring shell shocked at something ahead of him.
They turned their heads in sync. Touya's jaw dropped.
There right in front of the entrance to the university dorm complex were a horde of people.
Some with cameras, some with giant banners saying " Dust Blower did nothing wrong ", some arguing with the police officers that were blocking the entrance.
He was a little farther away but he could hear the cacophony created by a group of fangirls, he squinted, and fanboys.
Right in front of the entrance. The only entrance.
The walk was not a good idea after all.
He gulped.
He likes attention.
He knows attention.
But this.
This was overwhelming.
Suddenly he became aware that he acted in a controversial movie. That hypothetical situation of being targeted by conservatives, now it's a total reality.
And Touya doesn't know if he could handle it.
His stomach squirming with nerves, he took a small step forwards, but was stopped by a hand on his shoulder.
He looked downwards into Tenko's serious red eyes. Toga smiled at him from behind tenko's elbow.
" The movie is running in a nearby theater, we can pool our money and go there if you want. Or we can just spend the rest of the day in the mall. " Jin said, scrolling through his phone.
The other three looked at him with anticipation. Tenko gave him a reassuring nob.
" Okay " he breathed, " Let's go to the mall. "
***
After many hours of relaxation ( hiding and running away from fans who recognised him, even with a hoodie), Touya finally found himself in front of his suite.
He opened the door and flopped on the couch, Tenko following and falling into his favourite bean bag.
Touya closed his eyes for a few seconds, then fixed Tenko with a confused look.
Tenko did not look up but he turned around and said in a tired voice, " My roommate is being an ass after I defeated him in a game. Don't know what his problem is, I won fair and square. "
Touya hummed and made himself comfortable on the couch. He looked at the night sky through the window, fondly remembering the calls he took from his siblings hours ago.
They were excited about the movie which was scheduled to be released tomorrow in Japan. The move satisfied the fans because apparently the HPSC caved after relentless scrutiny.
Touya wrote a thank you tweet and everything. The response almost blew up his phone.
The most memorable moment was seeing All Might's tweet. Tenko dropped his coffee on Spinner then proceeded to annoy Touya into sending him a private message.
He actually had a short conversation with him. But Tenko was over the moon. He chuckled as he remembered his bright eyed face.
Looking towards the bean bag he smiled at the sight of Ten curled up in it.
He doesn't know what he could have done without him. His neighbour who barrelled into his life at fifteen.
An asshole but cute.
His phone ringing brought him out of his reminiscing mood. He frowned at the unknown number flashing on the screen.
He swiped his thumb on the end call button and closed his eyes.
Ring.
End call.
Ring.
End call.
When his phone lit up for the fourth time, Touya gave up and picked it up.
" Hello "
He heard loud harsh breathing on the other side. He hung up.
Ring.
This time Touya directed the call on to the identity app that was specially installed on all of the Todoroki family members phone. He doesn't use it much, he doesn't get many unknown callers anyway. But this one is persistent.
And given his new " Rising star " status, maybe it's time to use it.
He startled awake as he saw the name flashing on the screen.
Pro hero Hawks.
Touya stared at the name. He never met the young hero, who recently flew into the hero business and took it by storm. Number three at the age of twenty. It has to be a record…
Number three hero.
His dad knows him.
Has talked about him.
He would know if something happened. His heart hammering in his chest, Touya jumped out of the couch, caught Tenko's shoulder with a bruising grip and shook him awake.
He woke up with a yelp, and glared at him only for it to smooth into a concerned expression, hands already coming up to steady Touya's trembling shoulders.
The call had hung up, so he called him again. And put the phone on speaker. He whispered to Tenko as they waited.
The call connected and both of them called out a quick hello. Tenko's calm and Touya's stammering.
" Hellllooooo… … … .. " A very wobbly and sensual voice came through the phone, talking in the Hakata dialect. It wasn't urgent nor serious.
Touya shared a confused look with Tenko, his nerves receding but still keeping a hold on his heart.
" Is this Hawks? " He asked.
" Ooohhhh, saw yo nou me, donth you ? Hellllooooooo therrreeee babiiiee. "
The nerves left him as Tenko snorted and laid back on the bean bag. Touya sat near him, not allowing himself to relax before confirming anything.
But guessing by the slurring voice, this was just a mistake.
" Hawks"
" Yessssss, babieeee" Touya pursed his lips and asked " Are you drunk? ". He could hear the barely contained laughter in his voice.
" Oooooh nooooooouuuuu, I thiiiinkkk I ammm, Rummmiiiii I dotd youuuu. No more tequilla. "
There was a slapping sound followed by a very loud brash women yelling. '' Hawks, you fuckinng bitch , stop hitting you. Stop hitting me. "
Tenko laughed loudly and Touya let out a sigh of relief and chuckled.
" Whoose laughing. Huh, whoose laughing. I will kill you. " The women's voice came from the phone this time. Touya joined Tenko , nudging him back and leaning down in the bag.
"No ones laughing. But how did you get my number? "
" Burnin " She burped and Tenko cracked up, falling off the bag in a fit of laughter.
" Who? "
" Burnin Bitchhhhhhhhhh. Boom boom bbrr grr ( spitting noises). I am I doing this right" The woman, who Touya thinks is Mirko, the number 7 hero, started beatboxing after elongating the bitch.
He could hear Hawks in the background yelling what sounds like encouragement.
Touya composed himself, ignoring the peals of laughter from Tenko, who had crawled over to the couch and started punching it.
Touya recalled his dad's green flamed sidekick, who probably was the one who gave them the number. But the more pressing matter was that two top ten heroes were currently intoxicated. He had to make sure they were safe.
" Are you guys safe? Where are you? "
The beatboxing continued.
" Um, hello"
" Byeeeeeee byeee babieeeee the foodsssss here. "
" No, wait. "
They hung up.
Touya stared at Tenko in amusement. Tenko looked at the expression on his face and cracked up again.
" Well if they ordered food they would be with someone, right. " Tenko just gave him a thumbs up, clutching his stomach.
