The brooding Todorokis

I love how I made this post thinking I'd only post a picture and three words. Haha, silly me! Long (5 paragraphs) Todoroki talk under the cut! (❗️I AM NOT CAUGHT UP PAST DABI DANCE + some out of context clips of Dabi on TikTok❗️)

TLDR: I want an in-depth Todoroki family spin-off

I wish Horokoshi (or a different artist but that still has to get Horokoshi's approval) made a spinoff where it is just day-to-day of what happened in the Todoroki household, but they showed what everyone was thinking and how their trauma manifested, and the progression of Endeavor's abuse, and what happened to all of them after Touya's 'death'. Like depth, there is the main chapter which details what happened from the perspective of the reader, the observer who sees everything at face value of the words and actions of everyone, then a chapter from Endeavor's perspective and shows his thoughts and how much everything got to him, and then a perspective for each relevant Todoroki for each chapter.

Or a chapter for every Todoroki, to showcase the differences in all of their day-to-day lives, what it was like at school for the kids, what Natsuo and Fuyumi never experienced compared to Shouto and Touya, and show more of how Rei was with the kids.

I'd honestly like to see how it goes from what happens in Touya and Endeavor's perspectives glorifying Endeavor and his actions, minimizing them, to how they would both eventually see Endeavor as a monster compared to how Shouto practically came out of the womb knowing his dad was a monster.

And I want to see how Shouto felt after the eye incident, I know the show says he wouldn't visit or something along those lines, but it kind of glazes over how much trauma Shouto holds, how he knows his mother lost herself in that moment because of Endeavor's actions (and maybe some of Touya's), like I know I shouldn't want to see if Shouto had panic attacks, but it never shows the fear he might feel seeing his mother after the incident, the thoughts of that he may remind her of Endeavor or Touya that lead him to stop using his flames as a way to rebel and gain a slight bit of control.

But I feel an anime like that would be too much for the average MHA fan to comprehend and it would probably get review-bombed because bad no action too much thinking, but maybe that's my cynical nature and my assumptions about the fandom from who I know watches and has watched MHA, maybe the audience has changed from a few years back when I was mega into the show. But I bet a lot of the fans would like to see more of the Todoroki family. I would personally probably prefer this in manga format anyway, less triggering to me and I can read it fifty bazillion times.

[read on ao3]

There was always something that unsettled him about a day full of rain, even if today’s weather had been a consistent drizzle instead of a raucous storm. 

Fall in Wayhaven, Ely had explained that morning, when he dropped her off at the station. We won’t see the sun for three months.

Despite the weather, she had been cheerful, happy, and Nate had kissed her on the cheek and wanted nothing more than to find busywork he could accomplish at the small table in her office. Instead, he had spent the day in the warehouse, the rain a steady background noise he tried his hardest to ignore as he read in the library. 

Except now, hours after the sun had set, the rain petering off as afternoon had bled into evening, Nate’s trying not to worry.

He knows he shouldn’t. Ely had let him know she’d be late; the text he had received clear and concise— I’ll be back late tonight! Don’t wait up! He had frowned and struggled to type a message back, finger poking at his phone’s screen, but he assumes based on her lack of follow-up, she had figured out what he meant. 

He’s trying his hardest not to pace—and not particularly succeeding at it. He treads a path in front of the fireplace, where he only pauses to tend to the fire to make sure it’s still full and roaring when Ely returns. 

If she—

No, none of that. She’s fine, she’s running late.

No need to worry.

Yet.

Nate pushes his hands through his hair with a groan, feet coming to a stop halfway through his path.

The rain had stopped, but even now he can hear the remnants of the collected water drizzling off the warehouse’s roof, drops falling off the needles of the pines outside. 

Ely can handle herself, he knows that, but he feels his unease stems from her getting home more than anything else. The thought of her small, battered hatchback getting stuck in the mud in the forest is one that won’t leave his head. 

Footsteps sound from the hall, and Nate looks over as Adam walks into the room. A pensive frown sits on his face as his eyes roam over Nate.

“She still hasn’t returned?”

Nate shakes his head. “She said she’d be late.”

Adam hums, softly, before he clears his throat. “With the weather, perhaps you ought to call her, to see if she'd like us to pick her up.”

Nate shakes his head, dragging his hands down the back of his neck. “She’s probably driving right now,” he says, offering as much of a smile as he can manage. “It’s for the best that I don’t distract her.”

Adam offers a nod, just the one dip of his chin, before he makes his way to the window, peering out between the curtains. 

“The clouds have cleared, at least,” Adam says, softly.

“For now,” says Nate, just as soft.

“Is Morgan outside?”

“She said she was going to smoke while it was quiet,” Nate tells him. 

That had been nearly an hour ago, when the rain had first given up, and while he doubts she’d admit it, even he could tell Morgan was anxious about the thought of Ely driving out this late.

He’s not surprised how quickly they all are to fret, even if Morgan’s the first one to snap at them for worrying over their detective. 

Adam steps away from the window, turning as he faces Nate and crosses his arms. Before he can say anything, they’re interrupted. There’s a sharp scent of acetone and toluene that announces Farah’s arrival before her bounding footsteps slide through the door. She’s flapping her hands, wet nails catching the glow of the fireplace, and she glances between him and Adam, cheeks puffing with a breath.

“Ely’s still not home? I thought she was when I heard you two talking.”

Nate shakes his head. 

“She’s texted you, though, hasn’t she?”

“She let me know she would be late,” Nate answers. “I’m just not sure how late.”

“Well, it’s not raining anymore. She’ll be fine.”

Nate’s lips lift in a smile. “I’m sure she will.”

Farah’s eyes narrow. “You say that like you haven’t been pacing.”

“Farah.” Adam’s voice is full of careful warning that Nate shakes off with an actual smile curling his lips. “The detective’s car is not truly suited for this kind of weather. It is reasonable to be concerned.”

“She’s lived here her whole life, I think she knows how to drive in a little bit of mud,” Farah states with a roll of her eyes. She tilts her head as she lifts a hand, inspecting her nails before glancing up. “She’ll be fine,” she repeats. 

As if being summoned by Farah’s declaration, the quiet of the night’s broken by the rattling sounds of Ely’s hatchback making its way to the warehouse’s gate. Farah throws Nate a grin, but he ignores it, already making his way past her to the foyer.

He can hear both her and Morgan’s voices before he’s even opening the door up, a smile gracing his lips.

The sight of Ely normally fills him with nothing short of glee—except tonight she’s drenched. Absolutely soaked. As if she had stood outside in the rain for an hour and hadn’t gone anywhere to properly dry off once it stopped. Strands of red hair stick to her forehead, curls clumped together down her shoulders, and her clothes cling to her in a way that’s more damp than dripping but still completely wet.

She hasn't noticed him, looking over her shoulder to Morgan, arms bundled around her jacket, questioning, “—what was I supposed to do?”

Morgan’s eyes roll, a groan falling from her lips, her own arms full of things Nate can’t identify the purpose of. “Not this.”

Behind him, he can hear Adam and Farah enter the foyer, but Nate’s attention rests solely on the fact that Ely is definitely going to get sick if she’s been out in the cold air with wet clothes.

His lips part, ready to ask what’s happened—and then he hears the meow.

Morgan winces. Nate’s eyes drop to the jacket bundled in Ely’s arms.

A small, orange and white face is poking out of it, fluffy ears twitching. The sound draws Ely’s attention, and she finally notices him in the doorway, her lips curling in a smile.

“Nate!”

“Ely,” he says, his voice hitching despite himself. “Is that—?”

“It’s a kitten!” Ely interrupts, words quick, as Nate steps aside to let her and Morgan in. 

“Detective.” Adam's voice is tense. Nate doesn't need to look at him to know he's glaring. “Why have you brought a kitten to the warehouse?”

“I found her on the side of the road on my way home,” Ely states, lifting her chin. The kitten in her arms meows again, as if backing her declaration up. 

“Back when it was raining?” Nate asks, lifting a hand to brush her cheek with the back of his fingers. Thankfully, her skin isn’t cold. She must’ve had her heater going in the car.

Ely gives a nod, her lips still curled slightly as she adjusts the bundle. “I tried to find any others, in case there was a whole litter of them, but I think she must’ve gotten lost or left behind. I was able to get her to the vet before Dr Batra left the clinic, and she gave her a look over for me. I’ve got an actual appointment to get her a full exam tomorrow morning.”

Nate exhales a low breath. The thought of Ely searching through underbrush and foliage to try to spot any small creature while rain battered her was, unfortunately, something that came to mind easily. His selfless Ely, always putting others before herself, no matter the cost.

Not that Nate can say anything on that subject.

“A kitten,” Adam echoes, a slip in his tone that has Nate looking at him briefly, assessing, before he turns his attention back to Ely.

“You need to change,” he says, holding his hands out. The tiny, furred face mewls at the sight of them, but she seems more like she’s testing her lungs than protesting his touch. “We can watch her—”

“Her name’s Mango.” Ely’s statement comes in a rush of breath, her expression suddenly serious. 

“You named it?” asks Adam.

“Her,” Ely corrects, shifting, still holding the kitten close. Protective. “And I did, yes. I found her. I’m taking care of her.”

Adam shoots Nate a look that says every word he’s not speaking aloud. Nate clears his throat, lightly, trying to diffuse the argument that’s about to ensue before it can begin.

“Ely, love, please go change out of those clothes before you get sick,” he says, once again reaching for the kitten. “I will keep an eye on Mango for you.”

She looks to him, huffing a soft breath, before letting him extract the kitten from the bundle in her arms with a nod. Mango squirms, staring up at him with big, blue eyes, and Nate knows he’s already going to lose this fight.

Ely’s own blue eyes already have him under their spell.

“I will get her set up in my room when I’m done changing,” she says—promises—as she arches on her toes to press a kiss to Nate’s cheek. She drops to press a gentle one to Mango’s head, and turns over her shoulder. “Thank you for carrying everything in, Morgan. I’ll be right back!”

Morgan shifts her weight from foot to foot as Ely darts around them, heading up the stairs at a pace that’s too quick to call a walk. She sets the bags down, avoiding looking at Adam as she does, lips twisted in a half scowl.

“The vet apparently gave her a bunch of shit to tide the thing over tonight.”

“I see,” Nate says. 

Mango screams a meow. Both Morgan and Adam wince. Nate bends down to let the kitten onto the ground. 

She’s wobbly, barely old enough to be weaned at his best guess, but she takes to pattering around the wooden floors with a determination that’s admirable. 

“Nate . . .” Adam says, warily, as his eyes follow Mango around, but the kitten turns around to waddle back to him, butting up against Nate’s outstretched hand. 

"I know," Nate replies. He scratches the kitten's chin. She starts to purr. "But maybe this could be a good thing, old friend."

"Could ?"

“She is pretty cute,” Farah says, before Adam can snap anything else, coming to Nate’s side to squat beside him. She smiles at the kitten, who trots to her with curious sniffs. “A perfect little lady, aren’t you?”

Mango butts her head against Farah’s leg before wobbling away from them, wandering around the table to sniff at the grandfather clock. 

Adam still stands at the living room door, arms crossed, and when Nate straightens out, his eyes narrow towards him.

“We are not keeping a cat in the warehouse,” he states. “This is not a discussion. It’s foolish.”

“How’s it foolish?” Farah asks. “Ely said she’d take care of her.”

“The detective has two jobs,” says Adam. “The responsibility for the cat would fall on all of us.”

Farah shrugs, rising to her feet beside Nate. “That makes it better, right? We normally have at least someone here, anyway.”

Nate’s attention swings to the staircase, where he can hear Ely returning, but Adam clears his throat, arms still crossed.

“The pathologist has young children, does he not? They might be better suited—”

“I am not utilising my friend’s children into manipulating him into doing something for us,” Ely states, brows furrowed as she stops on the staircase. She’s changed into dry, lounge clothes, at least, though her damp hair is twisted up onto the crown of her hair in a loose bun, stray curls falling around her face. “I’m the one that found her, Adam. I am taking care of her.”

“I am worried about this,” Nate admits, softly, “but I agree. If Ely wishes to keep her, then she should.” 

“You cannot have an opinion on this, Nate,” Adam states. Nate hears his unspoken words—You would do anything for Elyse.

Nate bites his lip, glancing to Ely, who walks down the stairs, footsteps muffled by the slippers she wears as her frown deepens at their commanding agent. Mango spots her and practically sprints to her side, purr loud enough that any human in the room could hear it, let alone four vampires with hypersensitive hearing.

“I’m throwing my vote for Ely,” Farah declares. “Mango’s already decided Ely's hers, too.”

Adam’s eye twitches. His gaze hardens and he swings his eyes towards Morgan, who's still standing near the doorway.

Morgan offers a shrug. “I don’t care about it, so long as it stays the fuck out of my room.”

Adam’s groan could rock the warehouse’s foundations. “Fine,” he snaps. 

Ely exhales, bending down to scoop Mango up. “Come on, at least let her sniff you.”

Adam’s arms are still crossed over his chest, but he doesn’t tell Ely no. Mango stretches a paw out towards him, mewling, and Nate hides his smile with a hand over his mouth as he watches the stern mask melt off of Adam, shoulders dropping from their hunch.

It only takes him a moment to reach out and curl his fingers under Mango’s chin, and Nate scoffs a laugh when Adam’s icy green stare goes to Ely and he states in his no argument tone:

“Mango is a terrible name.”

.

Dr Batra, Wayhaven's only veterinarian and the owner of Wayhaven's only animal shelter, unsurprisingly, went to school with Ely. She was a few years older, and they've always been more aware of each other, than acquaintances or friends, but it's clear the doctor cares a great deal about keeping animals safe and healthy based on the things she gave them to keep Mango content for the night.

Nate had carried the bags to her room while Ely herded Mango down the hall, seemingly enamoured with the kitten's wobbly gait. She tells Nate about spotting her, the orange fur that covers most of Mango's head catching in her car's headlights from where Mango was waddling at the side of the road.

She sits on the end of her bed, Mango scarfing down the food they left without a care for either of their presence.

"I couldn't leave her," she says, as Nate fills a small bowl with water from her bathroom sink.

"I'm glad you didn't," he tells her, walking across the room. 

It's either curiosity or suspicion that has Mango following him, but once she sniffs the water he sets down, taking a few tentative drinks, she waddles away and Nate smiles down at her before he sits by Ely. Her hand reaches for his, and Nate threads their fingers, bringing their hands up to press a kiss to her knuckles.

"Adam's upset," she says, reaching down to stroke Mango's back, who mrrps at them before trotting off to explore.

"Adam has concerns," Nate corrects, thumb moving of its own accord across the back of her hand. "As do I. But I think we have been through enough that raising a kitten should not be a problem."

She gives him a half smile, and he squeezes her hand. 

"He'll come around."

That has her exhaling a laugh. "Will you come with me tomorrow to the clinic?"

"Of course," he answers without pause. 

"We're probably going to have to go to the city, after, too. She needs a lot of things."

Nate nods. "It's not easy becoming a pet parent."

Ely's eyes roll, but she's smiling. Nate chuckles at the sight. 

"We should get some sleep before then, though, shouldn't we?"

"By 'we,' you mean me, hm?"

Nate chuckles, kissing her cheek. "I'll rest with you."

"Fine, fine. I'm gonna actually shower, though. My hair smells like mulch."

He huffs a laugh. "Only of dirt, I assure you."

She snorts, kissing the tip of his nose as she rises to her feet. "The way you have with words, dear heart." She speaks with a grin, stepping carefully over Mango, who is inspecting the quilt Ely had laid out in a nest for her, to reach her wardrobe.

Nate rises as well. "I'll go change," he says. "I'll be but a moment."

"Take your time, you know how long my hair's gonna take."

The shower tap's on and running before Nate reaches her door. Mango's still pattering around, exploring the space and things laid out. She looks at him, all big eyes, mewing softly, and Nate smiles.

"I'll be right back," he tells her, slipping out the door and into the hall.

He's halfway down the corridor when he comes to a stop. Adam is leaning against the wall, arms crossed, a frown deep on his face.

It softens, ever so slightly, when his gaze lands on Nate.

"It could be worse," Nate says, before Adam gets a chance to say or ask anything.

Adam lifts a brow, silently asking just how.

It has Nate's lips curling up. "She could have found a lost puppy."

Adam exhales a long breath, the groan just bitten back in his throat. "That would be. . .more complicated."

"Exactly," Nate says, clapping a hand on Adam's shoulder. 

Adam sighs. "Just what is the plan here?"

"Tomorrow morning we'll be going back to the veterinarian, and then to the city to buy her some things."

"I meant long term," says Adam, frowning. "The warehouse is large."

"We'll keep her in Ely's room for now," he says. "She can have supervised explorations once everyone is settled."

Adam's shoulders sag slightly. He gives a tense nod. "Fine."

Nate smiles, squeezing his shoulder before releasing his grip. "Thank you, old friend."

"There is no need to thank me. I know when I'm outnumbered."

"Over a kitten."

Adam's frown treads the line of pout, so Nate takes a step back, though his smile is still wide. "I'm going to go change. We're retiring for the night."

His friend nods. "I will see you in the morning, then."

It doesn't take him long to get ready for bed. Once he's freshened up, he heads back to Ely's room, the others settling in for the night in their own way. Despite her insistence on the contrary, when Nate reaches the door, giving it a light tap out of politeness before opening it, he finds Ely out of the shower, hair braided down her back. She's sitting cross-legged on the ground next to her mound of quilts, phone pointed directly towards the blankets.

She looks up at him, eyes wide and lips wobbling. "She's making biscuits," she whispers, and Nate shuts the door softly behind him as he crosses the room.

Mango's not only kneading the blanket, she has part of the edge in her mouth, suckling the fabric. 

"Seems she's settling in for the night, too," he murmurs, smiling.

"I'm gonna send so many pictures to Verda and Tina," she says. He lifts an eyebrow, and she adds, "In the morning," in a rushed breath.

Nate chuckles, reaching down. Ely takes his hand and lets him pull her to her feet to guide her to the bed.

.

Nate wakes to the sound of litter being scratched.

It's early; he knows without even needing a clock, based on the pale, purplish light that seeps in from the edges of the curtains. Ely's wrapped up in his arms, her own tucked against his chest, breathing slow and steady.

He lifts his head from the pillows, eyes honing in on Mango, who's apparently smarter than they gave her credit for when they laid out the multitude of towels across the floor for any accidents.

He plops his head back down, tugging Ely closer. She mumbles in her sleep, but doesn't wake, tucking her nose against his neck.

Nate tries to drift off again, but his body betrays him. 

With a sigh, he resigns himself to his fate. He's awake.

Still, he's not willing to part from the warmth of the bed, nor the woman in his arms. He lifts one hand, tracing idle patterns in the freckles dotting Ely's shoulder.

In the distance, he hears a car door slamming shut. He frowns, eyes glancing to the window, but the engine that starts is the SUV's, a roar in the near quiet of early morning.

Adam must be taking a trip. The thought has his lips pursing, but he isn't worried. Any emergency would've meant everyone being alerted.

He closes his eyes, hand drifting down Ely's side as he nuzzles into her hair. She has an alarm set so they'll be ready for Mango's appointment with Dr Batra, but otherwise he's happy she's able to sleep so peacefully.

He's not sure how long he spends cuddled up with her, drifting in a tantalising almost-doze despite his body's insistence otherwise.

It's calm. Peaceful. The only sound he listens to is the steady beat of Ely's heart.

That is, until Mango's screamed meow sends her heartbeat spiking as she jolts awake.

Her eyes are blinking rapidly when Nate slips back enough to look at her, lifting his lips in a smile.

"Good morning," he murmurs.

"Mor—"

Mango meows again. Just as loud. Ely huffs a laugh through her nose as she rolls onto her side, lifting up onto an elbow to peer over the bed.

"Are you trying to say good morning, too?"

The kitten mews, and Ely shifts, reaching down to scoop her up and settle her between them on top of the blankets. She leans over to press a kiss to the tip of his nose, smiling as she murmurs a 'good morning' under her breath.

Mango peers around on unsteady paws for a moment before she trots up to sniff at Nate. He laughs as her whiskers brush against his neck, sitting up so she can wedge her way underneath him.

"She's quite curious, isn't she?"

"Can't blame her for her current subject," Ely says, a laugh in her tone. 

She stretches her arms over her head, and Nate would enjoy the view more if he wasn't concerned with not crushing the kitten that's worming her way under their blankets.

"We can let her see the kitchen," Nate offers. "I can make you breakfast."

"We can make breakfast," she corrects, smiling. "We'll have to fetch the others, too."

"I believe Adam's out," he says, reaching under the blankets to scoop Mango out before she can get smothered under the weight of the quilt. "But I can hear Farah, and Morgan should be back from her patrol soon."

"Where'd Adam go at—" She pauses, reaching for her phone, wincing. "—six 'o three in the morning?"

"That I could not tell you."

Ely slips a cardigan over her cropped sleep shirt and Nate buttons his up so they're at least decent for breakfast. Ely grabs Mango's food dishes as they head out, the kitten trotting along after her through the door.

They're barely three steps out of Ely's room—Mango bravely leading them in an uneven line down the hall—when Farah appears at the end of it.

"You guys are up! Good morning!"

Nate smiles as Ely greets her, though Farah's eyes are already on the kitten. She squats down with a smile.

"And good morning to you, little lady," she says, scritching Mango's head before rising. "Are we doing breakfast together?"

"That was the plan," Nate says. "Though I was hoping Morgan and Adam would join us."

"Morgan should be back soon," Farah offers with a shrug. "Adam said don't wait for him."

"Did he say where he went?"

She shakes her head. "You know our almighty leader. Has to do things his own way."

Nate hums, a soft agreement. "I suppose he'll tell us once he comes home."

Together, they make their way to the kitchen, Mango inspecting things on their way, but keen to stay near Ely.

Something Nate cannot fault her for.

Farah takes on cat-entertainment duty while Nate insists on grabbing what Ely wants to use to make breakfast.

"Do we still have those blueberries?" she asks. "We could do pancakes."

Nate sets the container before her on the counter before she's even done musing, and she smiles at him with a ‘thanks.’

They get to work, and Nate will never tire of how nice it is to move alongside her even in the mundane task of making breakfast.

Perhaps especially in the mundane task of making breakfast.

On the other side of the island away from the food prep, Farah's plopped on the ground, legs crossed as Mango waddles around her. She props her chin in her hands as her gaze follows the kitten.

"Her eyes are so big," Farah says, awe in her tone.

Ely's grin catches his attention in his peripheral vision. "I know, right? They're massive."

"Have you ever had a cat before?" 

She shakes her head. "I never had pets growing up, and I was too busy with school and work to get one when I moved back to town."

"Well!" Farah declared with a clap of her hands. "Another first for all of us!"

"I had pets," Nate says, with a small frown. "A long time ago, but it is not my first time having one."

Farah's on her feet with a pout on her lips in an instant. "Can't you just let us enjoy this moment? As a family?"

Nate sighs with a small roll of his eyes as Ely laughs.

"I think we can say it's a first for all of us to collectively have a cat I found on the side of the road."

Farah shoots her a finger gun. "See, Ely gets it!"

Before Nate can respond, he hears the same sound that has Farah perking up, darting around the island to go to the door that leads outside. She throws it open, shouting a greeting that he knows Morgan's flinched at.

Morgan steps through moments later with a grunt that he supposes could be a 'thank you.'

"Good morning, Morgan," he greets.

Another grunt, but this one paired with a wave in their direction. He watches as she steps through the kitchen—pausing as Mango darts around her feet—then settles with her hip against the sideboard.

"Did your patrol go alright?" asks Ely.

"It was boring."

"That means nothing happened," says Nate. "That's a good thing."

She rolls her eyes and scoffs. "To you, maybe." 

He bites back a sigh, smiling instead. "Did you at least see Adam before he left?" he questions.

Morgan just dips her chin in a nod. Nate's brows knit.

"Did he tell you where he was going?"

She shrugs, crossing her arms as she settles further on her perch. "I didn't ask. He only stopped by to check in on my shift."

Nate's sigh slips through this time, though he's not sure why he expected anything else. "Well, I suppose we'll have to have breakfast without him."

"I'm sure he drank before he left, anyway," says Farah.

Nate winces, pressing his lips together, but when he turns to Ely, her focus is only on the bowl balanced on her hip, whisk in hand.

It doesn't take long for them to finish everything. He shoos Ely from the island to sit with her coffee so he can at least dish her food up while Morgan and Farah collect breakfast for the three of them.

Mango's content to munch on the food on her plate, and he settles, allowing himself to relax in the moment.

They don't rush through breakfast, but with Ely the only one eating food, it doesn't take them long. Farah and Morgan head off to amuse themselves afterwards, and for Morgan to rest after her patrol, leaving Nate and Ely to clean up. He doesn't mind the task, washing the dishes as Ely dries them, the kitten sleeping on one of the dining chairs while they work.

Nate hears the SUV return while he's rinsing one of the glasses out.

"Adam's home," he tells Ely, as he hands her the dish.

Her brow furrows as she looks at the clock on the wall, methodically wiping the glass in her hands. "Where in the world did he go so early?"

"You'll be able to ask him in a few moments, I believe," says Nate. "Though, I admit, I'm curious, too."

They don't have to wait long. Adam walks in right when they've finished cleaning up, and when Nate turns to greet him, his words catch in his throat.

He stands in the doorway, arms laden with bags, lips pursed and eyes avoiding both of them, though he nods at them as he heads to the table to set the things down.

"You are both awake."

Mango jumps down at the noise of the bags being set above her, and Nate watches Adam as he goes to the window, the kitten following after him.

"Good morning?" Nate offers, his confusion palpable in his tone. "What—?"

"Are those bags from the pet store in the city?" Ely asks, moving around the island. 

"A kitten is a responsibility, Detective, she needs supplies—"

"You went to the city at six in the morning?"

Adam frowns, tone defensive as he states, "The store opened at four."

Nate follows her to the table, glancing through the bags. Cans of kitten food, treats, and an assortment of anything a kitten could dream of stare up at him.

Ely exhales a breath. "This must have cost a fortune," she says. "We were going to go after her appointment with Dr Batra."

Adam just nods. "This way you do not need to. The money is of little concern."

"Adam—" 

"Besides, I assumed your car would not be able to handle this much." 

Ely's lips part, her gaze darting to Nate, before delight colours her expression. The smile she gives Adam has Nate smiling, too. 

"I see," she says, slowly. He can hear the wavering in her tone as she tries to keep her voice neutral even with amusement dancing on her features. "You're probably right; thank you. Do you want to come with Nate and me to Mango's vet appointment?" 

Adam doesn't look at either of them, steadfastly ignoring the kitten pawing at his leg. "I suppose I shall have to drive." 

This smile she tries to hide, her amusement potent enough her eyes are shimmering. "I suppose."

"This is. . .quite the collection," says Nate, trying to bite back a smile as he looks closer at everything.

Adam crosses his arms, shifting his weight, expression purposefully emotionless as his gaze tracks Ely tugging one of the bags closer to her.  "I was unsure what she would take to."

"Adam, there are so many toys in here." Ely's voice is torn between delight and disbelief as she rifles through the bag. "Honestly, I don't think—" She stops short with a gasp, her next words expelling in a rush. "Oh my god, you got her a sword!"

She pulls a tiny, felt sword from the bag, brandishing it like it's an actual weapon. Nate can't stop his laugh, not at the sight of it, or the genuine happiness on Ely's face as she grins over at Adam who's trying his hardest to not look at either of them.

"It seemed fitting."

"Mango, Uncle Adam got you a sword—"

"Uncle—?" Adam chokes as Nate's laugh brightens.

"—look, look here."

Ely whips the sword back and forth in her hand, catching Mango's attention before she flings it and sends it skittering across the tiles. Mango is quick to lay chase.

Nate moves around the table to set his hand on Adam's shoulder. He tenses just a bit before relaxing, looking at Nate.

"What is it?"

"I feel I need to remind you that less than twelve hours ago, you were insistent about us not keeping the kitten."

A pale blush spots high on Adam's cheeks. He clears his throat. "You do not need to remind me. You, Farah, and Elyse were excited for this. I would not deny any of you something that brings you happiness—as illogical as it is to have a kitten here."

"Right, of course." Nate nods, chuckling. "Thank you."

Adam lets out a small hmph but Nate spots the soft smile on his lips as Mango flings the little toy sword around.

.

The clouds that hang in the sky outside the warehouse promise rain as much as the smell on the wind. He had sent Ely off to the station that morning with an umbrella that she had rolled her eyes at, taking it with a smile just to ease his worry.

‘No one uses umbrellas here, Nate,' she had said, and he had frowned and fussed and told her ‘Maybe they should.’

She had kissed his cheek and promised to use it if it rained on her brief walk from the station to her car before she had headed off to work, only to soothe his worry.

The only benefit is the clouds above aren’t storm clouds—thunder a true rarity this side of the mountains, something he’s grateful for daily. 

Nate makes his way from the library, where he’s spent the last few hours working, towards the kitchen. The warehouse is mostly quiet. Adam is out on patrol, Morgan on the roof enjoying the peace before the rain starts, and Farah had volunteered to watch Mango for the day while Ely was at the station. “You, little lady, are going to get me into so much trouble. How did you even get up there?”

Nate pauses, one hand on the kitchen door, Farah’s voice floating from the other side with disbelief etched into her tone. The only answer she gets is one of Mango’s loud meows. She’s clearly too preoccupied to hear him as she continues talking to the cat.

“Seriously, Ely’s been gone for two hours. If I climb up on the counters to get you down, both she and Nate are gonna be mad at me.” He hears her huff, and a shuffle of fabric that tells him she’s crossed her arms. “You weigh like three pounds. How good are your jumps?”

Nate pushes the door open, and Farah glances over her shoulder at him as he steps inside. She stands at the island, and moves her arms from where they’re crossed to gesture towards the tops of the high cabinets.

“I don’t know how she did that.”

Nate follows the gesture and stops short.

Staring down from atop their cabinets is Mango’s orange-and-white face, all big eyes and fuzzy ears.   

He tilts his head at the sight, clicking his tongue. “Hm.”

“Doesn’t Ely have a step stool so she can climb onto her bed?”

“She does,” Nate says. “I thought you were watching her.”

“I was!” Farah protests. “I left the room for three seconds ‘cause she was eating! When I came back she was up there!”

"Perhaps she's stuck." He tilts his head up to the kitten. "Are you stuck?"

Mango meows.

"I'll take that as a yes," he says, smiling as he steps forward, reaching up towards her.

The cabinets stretch up towards the ceiling, but he has the reach to match their height. Mango eyes him for a moment, tensing, but Nate doesn’t try to scoop her. He waits for only a moment before jumping to him and he cradles her to his chest before easing her back to the ground.

Farah waggles a finger at her. “I’m keeping my camera at the ready if you do that again,” she states.

Nate chuckles, heading towards the larder. “I’m sure Ely would appreciate it.”

.

Mango has been a warehouse resident for nearly three weeks, but she hasn’t gotten any less vocal than her first night. She chirps, meows, and mews whenever someone enters or leaves the room she’s in, or enters her field of vision. Any time she wants attention, she vocalizes, or when she thinks Ely's forgotten her dinner, she spends her time winding around her feet mewing.

Nate’s certain it’s driving Morgan insane, but every time it happens around her, she just twitches. No voiced complaints or snapping at either the kitten or Ely. 

He’s on his way out for his patrol, hoping he’ll be able to catch Ely on her way from the station at its end when he's distracted. He’s at the front door of the foyer when Morgan’s voice calls out to him from the living room.

“The thing lost its voice.”

Nate’s head tilts, and he turns on his heel to head into the living room.

He finds Morgan leaning up against the wall, a cigarette in her hands and Mango at her feet, though it’s obvious she’s trying to ignore her. Nate takes in the scene, bites down on his smile, and lifts his eyes to Morgan’s.

“What?”

“It wouldn’t stop meowing earlier,” she states, gesturing down to Mango with her free hand. There’s not an ounce of annoyance or sharpness in her tone—Morgan says the words conversationally.

“She’s quite vocal,” Nate agrees, looking down at the kitten whose attention is solely on Morgan.

And who’s surprisingly quiet.

“It can’t meow now,” Morgan says, amusement laced in her words. “It lost its voice.”

Nate takes a step closer, bending down and clicking his tongue, holding his hand out. Mango blinks over at him and makes an—admittedly—quieter mrrp sound than usual, and trots over to sniff his hand. When it's clear he has no treats, she opens her mouth, and Nate prepares for her usual yelled meow, but all that comes out of her is a hoarse mew.

His shoulders start to shake with the effort to stop his laugh as Mango turns back to Morgan, wobbling back over to her. He rises to his feet.

“She’s lost her voice,” he breathes.

Morgan flicks her eyes in a roll, the smallest curl to her lips. "That's what I said.”

Nate chuckles, looking back down to the kitten. Now, in an attempt to get Morgan to acknowledge her, she’s moved past pawing and is alternating between rubbing her head against Morgan or circling between her ankles.

He lifts an eyebrow, looking back up.

Morgan scowls at him. "What?" she demands, voice gruff as she glares between him and the kitten she's steadfastly trying to ignore. 

The same kitten trying very hard to get her attention by headbutting her shin, like the world's tiniest, most determined mountain goat. 

"Nothing," says Nate, smiling. 

"That smirk says otherwise," Morgan snarls. 

"Would you like me to take Mango to another room?" 

"Why?" she snaps. 

"Is she not bothering you?" 

"No more than you are right now." 

Nate lifts his hands in mock surrender. "Of course. I'll leave you both be." 

Morgan opens her mouth, but the response comes from their feet. A very small, very croaked meow resounds from Mango. 

Nate bites his lip to stop his smile. Morgan snarls. "She said piss off. You have a patrol to get to." 

"Right, yes. Going now."

.

There’s a light drizzle falling from the sky when Nate slips through the warehouse’s front door on silent feet. He slips his shoes off so he doesn’t track mud across the floors, setting them just next to the doorway.

On his way through the gate, he had seen the telltale sign of the fireplace, lit and waiting for him, from the window of the living room. Based on the hearts that beat just beyond the door, he has a feeling he knows just who's been waiting for him.

He pushes the door open, stepping inside, and inhales a sharp breath at the sight he’s greeted with.

Ely’s stretched across the sofa, sound asleep, hair loose and tumbling around her on the cushion. A paperback dangles precariously in her hand from the arm that’s fallen off the sofa’s edge. On her chest, Mango sleeps, curled up and purring with every exhale through her tiny, pink nose.

Nate walks closer quietly, taking the book from her loose grasp and setting it on the coffee table. He smooths a curl of her hair from her forehead, brushing his fingers down her cheek before he steps completely away so he can look over the scene.

He never wants the memory of this sight to fade. He never wants to forget how soft and relaxed she looked, safe and carefree with the fire casting her in a golden glow.

“She was trying to wait up for you.”

The voice at his side is soft, barely audible—but he still flinches at Farah’s sudden appearance at his elbow. He looks at her, her eyes scanning over the sofa with a wide grin. When she turns back, she waggles her eyebrows at him and holds her hand out.

Nate frowns, brows furrowing.

Farah wiggles her fingers before rolling her eyes, a silent huff on her lips as she shoves her hand into his jacket pocket. Nate doesn’t have time to react before she’s yanking his phone out and lifting her other hand to make a shushing motion with her finger at her lips.

His frown deepens, but he says nothing, letting her poke at the device. Her thumbs move far too quickly across the screen before she takes two bounding steps towards the sofa, angling the phone towards Ely.

After a few moments—and a few taps—Farah steps back to his side, still finagling with his phone, before she finally relinquishes it. She throws him a wink and a shoulder pat as he holds it more propped on his palm than held before she slips back out the door. 

He glances down after processing what’s just happened. The device’s screen is dark and he pokes and prods at the side buttons until it lights up. The picture that used to greet him was one Ely had set, insisting that he couldn’t just use a generic wallpaper for the rest of his life—though he still struggled to understand why he couldn’t. She had taken a picture of a breakfast he had made for the two of them, steam rising from his cup of tea and her coffee. He had had to admit it was a nice change, a memory that made him smile whenever he had to try to answer a call or—even worse—a text, but now—

Now, the picture on the screen is of the sight before him.

He thinks he quite prefers it.

.

The abundance—overabundance—of toys Adam had purchased for one small kitten had been scattered throughout the warehouse as soon as Mango had started getting more rambunctious. 

There’s a box that Nate had insisted on getting set in the living room, where they try to keep them contained, but Ely’s orange fuzzball’s rowdier now than she had been when Ely first laid eyes on her all those weeks ago, and there's usually a trail of toys down the corridors.

She hadn’t honestly been sure what to expect from the others, but Ely’s been keeping up on cleaning up after Mango, and the others have all seemed to enjoy Mango's presence, and Farah especially thinks it's funny when she beelines it towards Morgan for attention if Ely's not in the room.

Currently, Ely's trying to find the kitten, cleaning up spare toys as she goes. She had been aiming to find Mango’s sword toy that morning—one of her obvious favourites—but no matter where she looked, she couldn’t find it, nor the kitten it belonged to. 

With one pounce mouse still tucked in her pocket, she dumps her handful of other toys into the box in the living room before heading back out on her search. She’s checked beneath sideboards and other furniture, even checking rooms just in case somehow the kitten had snuck in behind one of the others and gotten stuck.

Though she doubts there’s anyone besides herself that Mango could sneak up on that lives in the warehouse.

Her trek brings her to the kitchen next, a frown on her face and a knit to her brows. She’s only just opened the door when a voice calls out to her.

“Good morning, Detective.”

Ely exhales with a smile. Adam sits at the table, stacks of folders surrounding him, a half-drunk wine glass next to his elbow. He doesn’t look up from his reports, his pen continuously moving over the paper without pause.

She checks the wall clock and barely bites back her amused huff, knowing he’s been at this for hours already despite the time. Vampires and their lack of needing sleep, she thinks with an internal roll of her eyes.

“Good morning,” she greets instead, eyes darting to check the tops of the cabinets. No sign of fuzzy orange ears and blue eyes blinking down at her. The discovery—lack of discovery—has her snorting a breath, and it’s enough of a noise that Adam’s pen stops skritching over the papers.

“Do you need assistance with something, Detective?”

“No, I’m good,” she says, waving her hand as he raises an eyebrow at her. She turns back to the cabinets, just in case, but there’s still no sign. “You haven’t seen Mango anywhere, have you?”

“Ah.”

She looks back to him over her shoulder, frowning at the sudden tense set of Adam’s shoulder. The frown vanishes to disbelief as paired with his tensing, a flush of colour spots high on Adam’s cheekbones.

"Are you blushing?"

Adam clears his throat, setting his pen down next to the folder he’s got spread before him. "Of course not.” He reaches below the table and when his hands lift, he holds Mango in a gentle grasp, her sleepy eyes blinking slowly in the hazy light of the cloudy morning.

"Oh!" Ely pauses, and she can't stop her grin. 

Adam glares at the sight of it, depositing Mango carefully onto the floor. She mrrps, apparently miffed her nap got interrupted. Ely squats down, pulling the mouse from her pocket.

“You’re sneaky, huh?” she asks. “Wanna play? Or are you too busy helping Adam with paperwork?”

Adam clears his throat again, but says nothing in rebuttal.

Mango eyes her for a moment, blinking, before she stretches, arching her back. After another glance at Ely, she turns and jumps back up onto Adam’s lap. Adam shifts as Ely laughs, rising back to her feet.

He avoids her eyes, the blush still on his cheek.

“She’s really grown on you, hm?”

Adam flicks his eyes in a roll, but he’s smiling enough Ely spots a dimple in his cheek. His hand drops from the table, and she doesn’t need vampire hearing to hear Mango’s purrs as he pets her.

“Enjoy your work buddy,” she says, unable to quell her grin. “I’m gonna go find Nate.”

“What about your family?” "I do not remember them. I was surrendered to the Order at a very young age." "You don't know anything?" "Nothing." But that was a lie. Her memory may be unreliable, but the archives at the Temple were not. Imogen once had a mother, a father, even siblings - all of whom she would never get the chance to know. It did not matter anymore and hasn't for a long time. Chasing ghosts was a fool's errand.

🌹All about your future spouse: I kinda felt there would for sure be some successful energy from this pile's future spouse lol. Not necessarily prideful but definitely they know their worth, and I'm typically seeing an entrepreneur/family business thing going on with you two😍🏠💼 I love this couple's energy so much. Idk why but I'm getting some of you may be Aries-Aquarius relationship or Aries-Cancer relationship. They could have Capricorn, Aquarius, Aries, Leo, or Cancer placements in their chart. Omg your spouse will know how to mix work and play so well!! Like one minute they are serious down to business and the next dragging you off to a concert and jamming out with you LOL🤣 You guys may tie the knot sometime in winter. It's in the cards my pile 1's this person WILL PROVIDE.💸💰💍 Like your future spouse will dedicate so much to their family, and they will make a great parent I'm hearing for those who are interested in that😭💗 Omg so like at their work space they are super cold and sooo different from the way they are at home with their spouse/family, at home they are literally so sweet to their partner and love playing with their kids but they DON'T PLAY at work oml like people they work with will have mad respect for your future spouse, I'm kinda getting boss energy so that could be because everyone is under your future spouse or working for them.😎🪜🔝 They show authority to others I'm seeing people greeting your future spouse like saluting to them (maybe they're in high position), bowing to your future spouse, ect. Your future spouse is so soft spoken and sweet with my pile 1's, meanwhile at work they may be more stern or harsh. They don't mind stepping on toes to give everything to their family.🥺💐💞 Ride or die for their family vibes. Seriously you will mean so much to this person, you will be a huge highlight in your future spouse's life. It's so sweet, so loving.🥹❤️

🌹All about your future spouse: Wow interesting my pile 3's your future spouse is so recognizable, you will notice them right away.😍😍❤️ Prominent signs for them are Cancer, Aries, Virgo, and Gemini. They will be so into you from the start lol like serious about you. They will confess many times to ensure they have you, They could have long legs or something long in their appearance, their tongue could be.😶 Anyways they will speak to you first I'm hearing, it will not be hard for them to strike up a conversation with you. You will be shocked by their forward approach, they may be surprisingly honest in the beginning like "let's get this thing straight, I'm into you" kinda thing🤭❤️ But like once you become closer you will see how romantic and loving your future spouse gets with you!! They will compliment you and flirt with you so much, and probably the type to keep telling you they want to marry you.🏠🌹They are witty and romantic as hell. The type to brag about their family with you (if you have one) and tell others how in love with you they are. They will talk up my pile 3's so much.🥺💞 Their job may involve communicating with many people. Your future spouse will help you through things that have been affecting you for a while. You will really want to commit to this person I'm hearing, once they got you.. you won't wanna leave😝 They speak openly about the things they want and leave it out there waiting for you to fulfill them💋 Like saying they want affection without actually asking or telling you they're cold just to see if you'll cuddle them.🥺 This is so sweet, they know all the words to say to make you blush.🗣💌 Your future spouse will know they want to marry you upon first meeting or the early stages of the connection, also for some of you this person has been wishing and hoping to marry you or find you for a long time.⏳️ Once they have you they won't stop telling you how pretty/hot you are😳❤️‍🔥 They are great communicators, like really smooth.😎 Kisses with them will be💋👅 And hugs will be🫂😇 That is all I will say about that🙈 My pile 3's your future spouse will be so caring and doting to you, they will take good care of you guys!!

🌹All about your future spouse: There is a lot going on with this pile.🤯 Your future spouse is someone very important, on the top of success in their field.🔝💼 They are charismatic and good with all kinds of people, they know how to gain respect🤝 You guys may have a significant age gap with this person, I'm getting they are older than most of you. My pile 4's feel more youthful, that is the vibe I'm getting from you guys. Your future spouse has a masculine energy and approach to things, very dominant feel. I'm getting model/acting/CEO/millionaire/high up official vibes.✨️ Take what resonates but I am seeing not everyone will approve of your relationship with them.😬🚫 For some of you this could be your mom or someone who is protective over you, they may not want you to marry this person. Your future spouse will be very well off in terms of finance💸 I'm getting the vibe they may push you guys away at first, maybe you want to rush into things with them but they don't think you are ready.✋️🤨 They may put their walls up at first, but eventually they will realize you are worthy and successful in their eyes.👑💍 At first your future spouse will come off dismissive of you since they are used to having many admirers that get on their nerves, your future spouse may have issues with gold diggers💰🧲 I'm seeing people tryna put their hands on them and they're just like 🙄 get the fk away. LOL they hate it. Everyone thinks they are one of a kind and want a piece of them, your future spouse will recieve so much attention.👀 Also people will be jealous of you and your spouse like why her/him??😒😤 Your relationship will be sought after by many. Your future spouse may also take walks often, that could be something you two do together.🥰 They will protect and provide for my pile 4's, nothing will get in their way of you guys seriously.🥺❤️ When you two are finally committed things will get spicy aswell❤️‍🔥
