Doors slammed often in the Takao house, especially since a certain little boy finally got tall enough to use a doorknob. “Mama!” he chirped, the coat Guadelupe put over the handle doing very little to muffle the noise of the door slamming against the wall. “Mama mama mama!”
“Mijo…” Lupe mumbled, sitting up and holding her sheets close for warmth. “What did I say about being careful with the doors?” she asked rhetorically, smiling with exhaustion as the child scaled the side of her bed, his tiny fingers gripping the blankets for dear life as she clawed her way up.
“Sorry mama! I just wanted to know where daddy’s going!” he asked eagerly, quickly crawling across the bed.
“What? Daddy’s right-” Lupe turned to touch her partner’s side when… she found an absence. The sheets were still warm, so he likely wasn’t far. “Oh...um, Daddy’s probably just getting some more medicine for your arm.” she said, sure that he just wanted to beat the morning traffic. He probably didn’t wanna bother Lupe with it, seeing as she would probably struggle with going back to bed if he woke her… yeah. He would do that. He was considerate like that. Lupe was still lost in her thoughts till her daughter climbed into her lap, snuggling under Lupe as if shielding himself from rain.

“I… I’m sorry I made Minnie g-go away” the boy whispered, holding his bandaged arm as if the incident was in any way his fault. “You love Minnie”
“Oh, no no baby” Lupe cooed, wrapping her arms around the child and hugging him impossibly closer “you didn’t make Minnie go away, and I don’t want you to think that. Minnie is just a bit too rough to be playing with you.” she explained, wishing that she had put her foot down about giving Minnie up back when she was pregnant, or at least before her baby had any time to bond with the doberman pinscher. “But none of this is your fault. Minnie is very very happy with her new family. She has so much space to run and play- and I hear the Nakamuras are planning on getting a little puppy, so Minnie will have a new friend to play with!” Lupe said, desperately trying to wipe the pouty little frown off Aito’s precious little face. “And no matter how much I love Minnie, I will always love my little Aito more.”
Aito’s frown finally broke as she buried herself further into her mama’s arms. “I love you too mama.” he giggled in the way that could melt a heart of stone, and never fails to remind Lupe why she wanted a child so badly. To hell with the rest of the world, as long as she had her baby, she’d be happy.
“Now… you know the rules.” Lupe said, roughing up Aito’s curls as he groaned his complaints. “Oh it is much too early for little monsters to be running around like this, go on back to your room and I’ll wake you up when daddy gets home, ok?” she offered, Aito immediately perking up at the mention of her father, and quickly jumping off the bed.
As Aito touched the doorknob, she paused, looking back at her mother before climbing back onto the bed and giving her a kiss on the cheek, again scrambling off the bed and slamming the door behind him. Lupe shook her head fondly as she heard the slapping footsteps of her little demon running down the hall and back to his room.
Well… Lupe was already awake… might as well try.
Lupe reached for her phone on the nightstand, and selected her husband’s contact.
Unbeknownst to Lupe, Aito didn’t go back into her bedroom, instead opening and closing the door to give the illusion of it. She quietly stalked out of the hallway and into the living room, crawling up to the nook in the wall.
Lupe let the phone ring once… twice… three times… four…
Aito’s knees were thankful for a soft place to rest as Aito stared out the window, hands and face flush against the glass, as if she were trying to hold her own refection.
[“Hey, it’s Takao-”]
“Babe! Wh-
[“Sorry I couldn’t come to the phone right now.”]
Aito continued waiting silently, her wagging tail being the only part of her to move as she awaited her father’s big black car to peak over the hill’s crest, with a little bag of medicine for her arm and a little piece of chocolate for her smile.
[“Leave a message and I’ll try to get back to you”]

[the script for this was originally a comic script, so there may be some things that don't get through without a visual. so, Minnie is the name of the dog that bit Aito (from this post), and this takes place a day or two after the bite. idk if Aito's clocked this yet, but his father leaving was actually caused by the discovery of Aito inheriting his quirk. i don't think she's connected the dots just yet bc it took so long for her to figure out that he had a quirk (other than his mama's), that plus the fact that Aito doesn't even remember this event would make me think that Aito hasn't figured it all out just yet]
