A Second Chance at Life (Touya Todoroki X Fem!Reader) Chapter 3

Summary: For the past five years, you’ve been raising your son as a single mother. You’ve successfully avoided questions about his father by claiming that he died during the Paranormal Liberation War. From what you believe, this isn’t a lie. The last time you saw him was when he personally escorted you to U.A.’s shelter amidst the chaos in the streets.

Unbeknownst to you, he has been alive all this time, clinging to life in a facility working to keep him alive. His father, Enji, has been desperately searching for someone willing to heal him. After his presumed death, a single photo of you and Dabi began circulating through the underground, hinting at the nature of your relationship. To protect yourself and your child, you had to pay someone to stop the pictures from spreading further.

The photo provided answers to a long-standing question: who was the healer Dabi had been protecting? It identified you as the healer who had been deemed untouchable, but it also brought unwanted attention.

Word Count: 1.9K+ A/N: Sorry for any grammar or spelling errors. Previously: Chapter One, Chapter Two

You’ve already planned out the kind of procedure that would work best for Touya, since he needs an entirely new body. His current body is too damaged. There’s barely anything left to work with. It’s going to require massive reconstruction just to have a foundation to build on. The procedure will demand a large team and a tremendous amount of energy. It will be an uninterrupted operation, focused on keeping him stabilized the entire time. It’s going to take hours.

It wasn’t difficult to convince the doctors and nurses with the quirks most beneficial for increasing the procedure’s success rate.

Most of them you know from your residency years or from back in Shiketsu High School, where you went through the medical program. That program offered self-defense classes and the opportunity to accelerate into the hero course, allowing students to obtain their hero licenses if they wished to become both pro heroes and medical personnel.

Some of the others you met through your family members while completing your internship hours during high school and medical school.

Money can run the world, but connections often go further than money ever could. You’ve already checked with Enji to see what kind of budget he has, and you’re not surprised by the number of zeros in the account.

As tempting as it is to max out that budget, you’re not the kind of person to exploit someone’s money like that. The team you’ve gathered does expect compensation, but many are willing to participate for the sake of the medical study. They know full well that their client intel is going to skyrocket because of it.

However, the update you’ve just received from the hospital where Touya is staying is concerning. He hasn’t shown any signs of improvement, and worse, he hasn’t spoken a word in weeks.

He’s not just stagnant but declining. His body is showing more and more signs of shutting down.

You’ve already asked the team you assembled to remain on standby for the following two weeks.

The main reason why you wanted the Todoroki family to get even one word from Touya is that it would prove that he is semi-conscious. His mind is still there before doing the long, risky procedure. It would be worth nothing if he isn't conscious. 

When you were going to review Touya's binder to make sure that you had everything in place to receive a text message from the preschool that your son was attending.

It was expensive but worth every penny to have peace of mind seeing the security guards are retired heroes and having a good curriculum. It was a preschool for heroes or higher-level individuals to have top-notch security.

It was a picture of him laughing and playing with the other kids. 

You couldn't help but have a small smile climb up your lips seeing his smile being similar to Touya's. He could very well be the doppelganger of Touya and almost look identical to him, according to the media pictures. Pictures of the paparazzi of toddler Touya with Enji years ago. 

Yet there is a small difference. Renji has heterochromia like Touya's younger brother, Shouto, one eye (eye color) and the other turquoise. His hair is currently predominantly red, streaked with random patches of white. 

However, he was born with solely white hair, which was already a dominant genetic trait within your family, particularly your father's side, and you were able to trace it back to your great-grandmother's roots. It is one of the biggest detectors of their quirk that will be related to energy or healing.

It was already predetermined by the obstetrician that he will most likely inherit your quirk due to the malfunction that you have been experiencing and are unable to control your quirk. 

Renji wasn't planned at all. He came as a surprise to you. that you didn't even realize that you were pregnant until the incident in Jaku City. 

Your quirk started acting weird with the last patient of the day, before it started to malfunction to the point that you had to stand back because you couldn't control it. You didn't want to accidentally harm or, worse, kill the patient, who was Hawks.

After that, you had to get yourself checked out while psyching yourself that …

Perhaps you are stressing yourself out.

Perhaps you are overworking yourself. You did heal numerous people before Hawks.

But deep down, there was always the possibility of pregnancy. 

The only explanation why your quirk could malfunction and be difficult to control is because it didn't feel like yours. There are always times that your quirk will malfunction if you are overusing it or attempting to use it when you are already running on low energy. It felt different a couple of times for the past 2 months.

You came out positive in both the blood work and the traditional pregnancy test.

During the ultrasound, you genuinely didn’t know how to react when the sound of the heartbeat filled the room. the steady rhythm pulsing through the ultrasound machine as it checked how far you were in the progress of the pregnancy. 

The solid proof that there was a life growing inside you... 

It hit you harder than you expected. You couldn’t hold back the tears, the overwhelming emotions crashing down on you.

It felt like the worst possible time. The war was already raging, chaos was everywhere, and the future of Japan seemed more uncertain than ever. 

But eventually, it worked out.

The last month of pregnancy was the hardest thing that you ever experienced in your life. You had to isolate yourself at work and do paperwork duty. You weren't able to use your quirk due to not having any control over it at all. Your body was completely overflowing with energy, causing anyone who touched you to get healed if they had injuries or were previously exhausted. 

You were an emotional wreck after seeing the public announcement of the status of Touya. You were mourning over Touya. He was declared dead by his father to the media, who were hounding the family for information. 

At the very least, you had a believable excuse to provide to everyone on why you were emotional. Blaming your pregnancy when it wasn't the truth. Anything that reminds you of Touya makes you burst into tears like a crybaby. 

Even though Renji shares many of Touya’s features, you’ve never once regretted having him. You love him with your whole being. He’s the last physical piece of Touya you have, aside from the gifts he once gave you.

You had already made peace with raising him as a single mother. You weren't ever planning to get back in the dating pool anytime soon, not until Renji was in university. Your job will provide enough money to support Renji and yourself. 

Despite having 5 years to progress and move on, you couldn't erase 8 years of memories with Touya. The good and the bad. 

You were still unsure how to feel about the possibility of Touya being alive, but you had already decided that. 

If he followed through with the action plan his brother had made for him, you would always leave the door open for him to be a part of Renji’s life.

That’s if he survives the intensive procedure or, at the very least, shows signs of consciousness. ______________________________________________

Meanwhile in the facility, everyone within the Todoroki family has asked the same question to get the response that they need to proceed with the procedure.

No one has ever been able to get a response from him. Rei wanted to try one last thing before completely losing hope. 

Rei has been keeping something to herself and trying to process what she saw in the grocery store just a few weeks ago.

The young boy had similar features and looked at Touya when he was younger, wearing a child leash that was dinosaur-themed. The boy was clutching a hero plushie against his chest with a giant grin coming out of the store that held hero merch. 

A grin that made Rei envision a young Touya standing right where the boy stood.

She wouldn't be thinking this much about it if it weren't for the boy to have heterochromia like Shouto and the way that red hair had patches of white. It looked identical to his hair when Touya's quirk was rejecting his body, causing his bright red hair to slowly turn into white. 

No one truly knows who Touya was. The furthest memories anyone has of him are from his early teenage years. The rare, brief conversations they manage to get from him aren’t nearly enough to understand the person he became.

The only words he managed to push out that he wanted to live came when Fuyumi was talking about her children. She had shared their names, their little personalities, and the dynamic they had as siblings.

"Touya?" Rei spoke softly, but the heart rate monitor remained steady.

"Do you have a family outside of us?" 

The change of heartbeat was shown on the heart monitor for the first time in a long time. Touya opens his eyes to stare at his mother within his confinement. He is conscious and listening to her. 

"Is that why you said you wanted to live?" Rei continued, seeing the heartbeat was showing something other than the steady heartbeat. 

"When Fuyumi spoke about her family… was it because you know you have family out there?"

There was silence being filled with the machines that are keeping him alive. The soft beeps from the heart monitor showed his heartbeat. The monitors were showing more movements than ever, which Rei was starting to get concerned about. 

Thankfully the machines had sent out an alert to one of the nurses that is taking care of Touya about his vitals. 

A mouse mutant nurse peeks through the door, "I am sorry to be interrupted; I just have to check everything is okay. His vitals are showing abnormal—"

"Yes." 

It was the clearest response that Nurse and Rei have heard in years. 

But the weight of the question triggered something deep within him. The flood of memories of you throughout the years and the strain of forcing himself to speak after so long of silence. 

It was too much. 

His body could no longer handle it, triggering every vital machine to start beeping aggressively. The spike of his heart and blood pressure skyrocketed dangerously before dropping aggressively.

More nurses and doctors burst through those same doors, screaming at each other. 

Everything was so blurred for Rei that she didn't realize that she was escorted out of the room that Touya resided in. She could hear one of the doctors behind the door screaming.

"Someone get Doctor Remedy on the phone now! It's either we do it today or never!"

Doctors have repeatedly told all the Todoroki family to avoid any stressful or emotional change questions. Anything that could send his heartbeat spiraling out of control.

She didn't know that question would have sent Touya's body into overdrive. 

It was an innocent question that came out of pure curiosity. 

She wasn't expecting it to be true. It could have been a random child who reminded her of her children. 

The weight of knowing that it was her fault for asking that question of sending her son into a medical crisis. She once again failed her son. The realization settled in knowing there was a possibility of a family that has been waiting for him to come back home. 

And yet, all this time, he had been trapped here, fading away with time.

It was too much to bear. Her knees buckled as the sobs overtook her.

She had failed Touya again. _____________ Comments are appreciated! 😊

Kintsugi Overlay

commissioned by @sadraccoon061 <3

PLEASE READ:

This overlay comes in two parts: a bottom layer and a top layer. You can of course use either independently, but the bottom layer is intended to add shadow and more depth to the top layer. it blends into the skin the same as my last body blush post.

there are packages for each frame, however, every version is unlocked and has thumbnails for all frames regardless; the difference is the linework is tweaked on the shoulder for the mframe so the seams add up. the bottom layer comes in a variety of colors and opacities that work with human and occult skintones. the top layer has a specular, as well.

the thumbnails clearly label which is which in game.

Frame: all [two packages for each layer]

Base Game Compatible

Swatches: Bottom layer ~ 18; Top layer ~ 21

Disabled for Random

Top layer is found in birthmarks > arms, bottom layer is in birthmarks > legs

CONFESSING TO THEM

fluff | tengen uzui, kyojuro rengoku, sanemi shinazugawa x reader, reader nearly dies, tengen has three wives and you're tryna become his fourth | word count. 1.4k

TENGEN UZUI.

You know he’s married, thrice too. But sitting next to Tengen and watching him observe the Koi in the pond, a subtle smile on his face, warms your chest. You don’t realise that you’d started gazing at him longingly until he catches you, turning to you with a big grin. The beads of his headpiece rattled in the wind alongside your flowing hair.

“Tengen,” you start, voice meek and apprehensive, “I know you’re… married, but um, I don’t think I can continue our friendship if I don’t tell you.” At this point, your voice trails off into a whisper he has to lean in to hear. You almost outwardly giggle at the close proximity.

“You like me, huh?”

“What? Did you– have you known all along?” You huff and grab a nearby pebble to throw at him, only for it to bounce off his bicep in the midst of his snickers.

“I’d feel bad for you if you had tried to be subtle about it,” Tengen teases, leaning in closer until your faces are centimetres apart. When he sees your flushed expression, he shakes his head and rests his right cheek on his fist. “I can’t blame ya for failing though, it was hard for me too.”

You sit upright. “Wait, what?”

“Y’re pretty ditzy today, eh?”

You’re tempted to slash the charming smirk off his face. For the first time since the conversation started, you lock eyes with him (albeit having to almost painfully crane your neck to do so). From the way he maintains your gaze and lets you witness the boyish glint in his eyes, you’re convinced he isn’t lying to you with what he’s implying.

“I’ve had my eye on you for a while now,” he admits, stretching his arms. “So I’m glad you’re not threatened by the idea.”

You purse your lips. “How are you going to deal with four wives?”

Tengen glances at you from the corner of his eye, grinning. “You mean it’s harder than handling three? My wives are my partners, not liabilities. You’d be no different.”

You lower your head to hide your impending smile, though he catches your expression even when you don’t think he does. If anything, he’s eager to witness more of your excitement. He finds it adorable that you can barely look him in the eye, even when he gets on one knee in front of you. He’s not proposing - your conversation already acted as one - instead, he wants to see your face. Tengen wants to see what he’s doing to you.

“Ring or necklace?” He asks.

You contemplate it before telling him your choice.

“Consider it done.”

KYOJURO RENGOKU.

“You must eat,” Rengoku tells you in that booming voice of his. He’s already scoffing down two of the bentos that had been provided to him by the cooks, but you had barely touched your food. You were starving, but your nerves overshadowed your hunger.

“I will,” you nod.

A minute goes by and all that is heard is Rengoku’s small comments on the food; tasty, yummy, delicious, incredible. Whenever he stares at you, you nod and smile along with him, but you notice his smile drop slightly further every time he does look at you.

“Is something the matter?” He chimes in, disturbing your racing thoughts. At this point, he’s stopped eating and is just waiting for you to answer, but for the past ten minutes you had been trying to plot how to go about telling him. I’ll never end up telling him at this point, you realise. So, you sip some of your water, place it back down on the coaster and lift your head to face him directly.

“I like you, Rengoku.”

For a moment, it’s silent. “And I don’t want that to make what we have weird, I even considered not telling you because I don’t wanna lose you, but if I don’t tell you it feels like I’m lying to you–”

“You stress too much,” he smiles, watching your throat bob as you swallow thickly. The flame hashira can sense your impending tears and feels oddly honoured that he had the ability to make them happy or sad ones.

Now that you reflect on what you’ve just done, you perhaps should have waited until the two of you - or he at least - had finished eating. Feelings like this are hard to stomach, especially from one hashira to another. While you’re contemplating your confession, you feel his gaze burn into you and, somehow, you find the strength within yourself to not avoid it.

“I’m sorry, I’ll pay for our food as compensation–”

“Compensation for what?” He laughs, your heart aching at the sight of such a brightly lit expression. “If anything, I need to eat more from how overjoyed I am.”

You pause. “Overjoyed?”

“That might be an understatement, but I can’t find the words at the moment,” he admits, that smile still stuck on his face. What you had yet to realise throughout these two years was that Rengoku had admired you the most out of everyone he had met. Yes, Tengen was flashy and Tokito was level-headed, but out of all the esteemed hashira, his flame had been ignited the most around you. Only now could he let it burn as it wished.

“I like you too, very much.”

SANEMI SHINAZUGAWA.

“Stop looking like that,” he taps the blunt side of his katana on your arm, knocking you out of your daze - the daze you had been in the entirety of this dispatch. It wasn’t anything major, a few rowdy demons that have been unsettling the village near to the woods you were currently in, but Sanemi had insisted that he accompany you for it.

“Sorry,” you mumble, sheathing your own katana after having wiped it clean of blood.

Sanemi eyes you for a moment. He knows you’re mature enough to handle yourself and manage your emotions, though he’s come to realise that it doesn’t mean you should be left to do so. So, the scarred hashira doesn’t prod further. Not until you fail to register the unexpected demon launching at you from behind, teeth bared and eyes maniacal.

“You’re askin’ to be killed, damn it!” He finally yells, his brows furrowed from the sheer adrenaline and anxiety he just endured. Sanemi never truly yells at you unless he’s unmistakably upset, so his raised voice makes your lips part and your eyes widen with a late registry of what risk you had induced.

“You wanna be in your feelings? Fine, just don’t do it when you’re out to work! At this rate, we’ll need backup just to make sure your reckless ass is bein’ protected with those villagers!” He’s breathing heavily at this point, his face in yours as he heaves and trembles.

Sanemi is still unsettled even when the two of you finally return to base, washing up and filling your stomachs during the last few hours before you’d call it a day. When you wander out into the pond gardens, your arms crossed over your chest to shield yourself from the night’s breeze, you almost turn the other direction when you spot Sanemi squatting at the edge of one of the smaller pools of water. He’s skipping rocks, watching them dance across the water, or occasionally fail to do so and fall into the pond or onto a lilypad instead.

“Don’t try and avoid me now,” he sighs guiltily, observing his reflection in the water momentarily before rising to his feet and turning to face you. “I shouldn’t…” he scratches the back of his neck. He’s not used to apologising for something he usually does so casually. “I shouldn’t have yelled at you,” he confesses.

“No, I’m glad you did,” you admit, licking your lips. “I like you too much for you to act like you don’t care about me. You’ve noticed, surely.”

Sanemi isn’t sure he has noticed. That thought alone made him kiss his teeth - had he been so distracted by his own feelings to notice yours? The question raided his mind for a few moments while you, unbeknownst to him, watched as his lips pursed and his cheeks flushed a light pink.

Was he seriously blushing? This is so uncharacteristic of him, you think, a smile finally gracing your lips for the first time that day. For a moment, you’re more invested in him blushing than you are in the acknowledgement that he reciprocates your feelings.

He walks over to you, the gravel crunching beneath his shoes. He doesn’t stop until his chest almost touches yours and his face is so close to yours that you can feel the warmth of his breath. “I’m g’nna kick your ass for today,” he scoffs. “After I take you out…” he almost looks angry at his own embarrassment.
