"Sugar."

Everything was accounted for but it and it was the most important thing in my entire life. I never slept with my wedding band more so, I found it uncomfortable even for the span of a billion or so years I never found it comfortable to wear when I slept. I always placed it on in the mornings, yet the parent teacher meeting had completely slipped my mind and I must have forgotten to place it back on in the busy morning rush in the house today.

"You okay?"

I turned to my step son, his motionless expression reminded me much of my husband. I never told him to call me anything like mum or dad, his mother was always better than me I just preferred him to call me whatever he liked.

"Yeah yeah, my little half and half."

I could tell he could see right through me, it was made even obvious by my other hand constantly running over the empty room it left me.

"Your wedding band is missing," "mmm"

"Just swing by and pick it up."

He had a point, there was a good hour until I needed to be at work, it took ten minutes just to get there so I'd have enough time to pick up my ring and a coffee before ever needing to be in the office.

"See ya, Shoto have a good day!"

I shouted that as I disappeared towards my car, the drive wasn't that long and I arrived before I estimated it would.

Enji was still there, his car was parked in the driveway made sense, he didn't need to leave at any time in particular to his hero company that he owned. I slipped inside yet it was silent. No rucket of someone doing something, no soft sound of the television, just nothing. I pushed open the sliding door to the bedroom quietly just in case he was still sleeping. Yet he was hunched over himself on his side staring at himself in the mirror. In every relationship no matter how long, you know when your partner wasn't okay. He had jumped when he realized I was in the room with him, his head pressed against my stomach when I hugged him tightly trying to work out what I could do to help him.

"Enji,"

"I'm fine."

A crack and a croak came from his voice. He wasn't.

"No your not, please just tell me. Let me help you love."

"I'm not what everyone wants anymore."

"What do you mean?" I was confused,

"I'm getting old, I'm not going to be like all the new heroes rising, I don't look like them I- I- just-"

I cut him off.

"Enji."

"y/n."

"Maybe you're getting old, who knows. But Enji the world needs you and you are perfect no matter what. Who cares about them, who fucking cares. You're everything I love and their opinions about you don't matter because they're just jealous. The only opinion you need is your own and mine of course when it comes to clothes - but enji the world needs you and only you."

I guessed, I really moved him by the tears forming in his eyes.

"I guessed this is from Hawks being on your tail right?"

I played with his hair and sighed when he nodded,

"Hawks- Hawks doesn't compare to you my love, you're perfect just the way you are, we all have similar issues with our own idea of what our body should be yet we are perfect the we are and Enji your more than perfect."

He stood up when his arms wrapped around my body. I was much smaller and shorter than him so I had to look up whenever he was standing up. I just held him tighter to the point I was squeezing him.

"Thank you, thank you for telling me my love, you're the most important person to me, I will always be here for you."
