The next day, you visited your mother with S/N.You stood beside her hospital bed, watching her sleep peacefully. She was still in a coma, her breathing was steady. The sunlight streaming through the window made her face look soft and serene.
S/N pouted as she recalled the events of the Sports Festival.
"Really, Mom! Nee-chan lost after promising me she'd win," she huffed, crossing her arms. "Well, she did say she was tired..."
You chuckled and poke her cheek playfully. "Keep your voice down. We don't want to wake the people in the next room."
After spending some time in quiet companionship, you finally checked the time. It was time to leave. "Come on, S/N, we have to go."
S/N sighed but stood up. "Bye bye, Mom. I'll see you next week."
Before stepping out, you took one last look at your mother. The sunlight bathed her face in warmth, making her look like she was simply resting.
'I hope you're having the sweetest dreams, Mom...'
As you and S/N exited the hospital room, you turned your head slightly, only to lock eyes with a pair of heterochromatic ones.
"Oh, Todoroki-san."
"L/N-san."
As you and S/N walked outside the hospital, Todoroki stood there, his usual nonchalant expression in place. S/N immediately tugged on your sleeve, leaning in to whisper but loud enough for him to hear.
"Nee-chan, he's really handsome."
You gave her an unimpressed look before pinching her cheek. "Shut up." Your tone was flat, void of any emotion.
S/N whined, rubbing her cheek. "You're so mean! But seriously, are you two dating?" She grinned mischievously, eyes darting between you and Todoroki.
You sighed, pinching her cheek again. "I said shut up."
Todoroki blinked at the interaction, unsure how to respond.
You turned to Todoroki with an apologetic smile "Sorry Todoroki san, this is my sister S/N," you looked at your little sister whose eyes darted to you and him.
"S/N, this is my classmate Shoto Todoroki"Todoroki head slightly bow to S/N, since she's younger "Nice to meet you"
S/N, unfazed, turned to him with a bright smile. "Uhm, do you wanna join us? We're going out to celebrate Nee-chan's successful sportfest"
Todoroki hesitated for a moment. His mind drifted back to the conversation he had with his mother earlier that day.
He had sat beside his mother's hospital bed. She looked at him with warmth, her gentle smile bringing a sense of peace he rarely felt elsewhere.
"Mom,what if I met my fated person?" he asked suddenly.
Rei blinked, then smiled knowingly. "Have you met someone who makes you feel comfortable just by being near them?"
Todoroki thought for a moment before nodding. "There's this girl. I just, I want to know what you felt when you met yours."
Rei's expression softened, but there was a hint of sadness in her eyes. "He was kind, gentle, soft-spoken. He smelled better than anyone else, and he was so patient with me." She exhaled slowly. "But... your father had already chosen me before I could even confess."
Todoroki's fists clenched slightly. "What did you do after?"
Rei met his gaze. "Nothing. Because Quantum was already in love with another woman. Even if someone is your fated person, that bond can still be broken."
