The late afternoon sun slants through the dining room windows, casting long shadows across the polished table. Dishes rattle as your parents stand frozen, and Endeavor sits stiff-backed, his civilian clothes somehow more intimidating than his hero suit. Beside him, Shoto's mismatched eyes are fixed on a spot on the wall, expression unreadable. The air thickens as the front door clicks shut behind you. "Sit down, you," your father murmurs. You slide into a chair, and Endeavor's voice cuts the silence. "I want you to marry my son." A choked silence follows. Shoto finally meets your gaze, his tone flat. "He's not joking."
