Midnight Parenting [G & H]

all the pieces lie where they fell...

Even now he could still surprise her, maybe it wasn't even that strange considering how long they were together, almost a year now and that made her rather happy, how cute it was that they stayed together (bless airconditioning in the house) and he nuzzled her nose and she giggled and blushed, sometimes she felt like a teenager when they were together and sometimes, as in the seconds afterwards, she felt like an adult. She heard their little one cry and she held still, almost as if she held her breath while she held on to G's shoulder. The thunderstorm had stopped, she only heard the rain but as they had checked up on him about fifteen minutes ago, she was sure it was just him wanting attention and she remembered what the nurses had told her so she held G, she did not want to ignore their baby but they had to, else he would never sleep tonight, so she told G that in a soft whisper but you could see on the expression on her face that she hated it.

So she tried to ignore it, very badly and spoke about what was bothering her and why she couldn't sleep, also she did not mention of course that she was thinking about her little one but that was clear right now as well. But after a few minutes, Kai stopped crying and she hoped he simply fell asleep, she would check in a few minutes or G would because well he was closer to it now. "Do something together?" She asked him surprised, breaking her thoughts about her son because she did not see this answer coming. What could they do, "I mean as much as I like it, do we have a combined strength to what we can do?" She pondered a little, "I mean apart from your superhero actions that are illegal by the state, you are a security guard, you eh... what do you do?" She hoped he could follow her track of thoughts, he did something with that Pink Jackal thing, she was sure he told her at some point. She gave him a wry smile, embarrassed she had forgotten something about what he did, everything he did she wanted to note down as important because he was, so it was a bit of an embarrassing thing, rude maybe even, why did she not consider what was going on again. Stupid Hanako.

First-time parents, it was so hard that she could not stand up and go to him, she remembered the nurses, the scolding she got when she did and now she had to tell G and he buried his face under the pillow and she hid her face against his chest. She would not allow herself to cry but it was just as bad for her as it looked for him, but she did not say anything, she held her breath from time to time as she listened to the wailing of her son. In the end, he ceased to cry and Hanako looked up and let go of G and sat upright on the bed to watch him check up on their son, who was indeed now asleep and she finally started breathing normally again, her fist letting go of the blanket that she held.

Oh how could she forget he was a utuber, she had heard him record and stuff like that, she always wondered what he did but she never really watched, she wasn't much of a utuber person, she was not much of anything as she realized her conversation with Elena about anime, she must try it some time but things had come up so it did not really happen. She frowned about his last comment, teaching at U.A. "You need to be a pro-hero for that though." She mused out loud because he had said her that he wouldn't change her opinion, that meant more votes for vigilante than pro-hero. "Maybe teach at a gym? I mean this is ridiculous." She giggled, "I need a new job, you do not, maybe I can find something close to Metropolitan so we can go together still." Albeit he could still apply for a gym teacher if that was what he wanted. She wondered if he wanted to stay at metropolitan after what happened? On the one hand if her book sold well she did not directly need a new job and she could see how well freelancing her blogs would do, she could maybe talk to her boss if he was back from the hospital himself that she would offer the blog still to him but would stay home.

She pulled him closer now that they were snuggling back in bed, nuzzling her face in the crook of his neck and if he did not hold her, she would instruct him to do so by taking his hands and basically pushing them on her back. "To do what?" She asked when he said he was conflicted, she had no idea that he had that thought as well, and she looked up with a worried frown on her face. "Honey, that's not true, everyone has issues." She was sure that no one their lives were that easy but instead like people fighting in the middle of the streets, they had maybe taking it to work, "If you feel like that's drama, maybe it's not good if we work at the same place?" She did not want that but she did not want him to be embarrassed, "For now you could try and stay at work while applying for other jobs? It's safer to stay and earn money until you find something that you like and those that hire you, we could look up gyms that need spots. But don't expect me to become a cheerleader only to be together with you, I rather do something on my own as well." Maybe she should stay home, hoping that her book would be a great success, give her some record things, maybe make a talk show on the radio? Maybe sell the book later to become a movie, she did not know, she wasn't sure, the thing was that they needed money with the buying of that old factory and the hospital bill, albeit it was less than she had expected thanks to the fundings of the country in an accident.

Anything really to keep money, but where would they start, what could they offer, it was a little more difficult than she wanted to admit, maybe she should just stay and do her job but she could not even consider walking up the stairs or taking the elevator, remembering that she was carried out of that building while in a weird attempt of being in labour, it was a situation she never wanted to think about and thus never wanted to be reminded of.

"I do." She said as G asked if she did not want them to work at the same place, she loved that. She remembered in early December that they walked to work together with the first days of snow and all the cabs being taken and just after that going to work together, even if they did not have to be on the same floor or aisle or anything for the continuation of their job she loved going there and leaving together when his shifts allowed it. She softly pinched his cheek because of his worried look and kissed him directly after that on the spot followed by his lips, "I might yell at you about wedding planners but I did not plan to make any other drama." she gave a soft giggle because she did not want him to worry about anything like that, she did not plan to and even if you could not predict the future, they had a card that might tell their future as a happy one, so in that case, they would not have to worry.

She wanted to say that she did not expect it, to become a cheerleader but Hanako did not want to talk as G nuzzled her and held her and she simply let it be and ignored it, trying her best not to giggle and ruin the moment that he held her. She closed her eyes but listened, to the beat of his heart and to the words that he spoke and thought about it and she had a great ide- it poofed away as she looked up, she had ignored the cheerleader comment but now it was back again, "Oh sweetheart I was making a joke because of your potential teacher position in a gym, I don't feel like a cheerleader, I am also probably too old for that." Which was a weird thing to say at twenty-six, "but I will always cheer you on, don't worry." Now what was she thinking again, she could indeed try to, she froze and looked simply at a spot over G's shoulder as she realized, she had to try and find words, not brabble, just clearly tell what she thought, but where to start. "We should-we should investigate, maybe we can start a gym." Her blue eyes turning to meet his dark ones, "Indeed I can maybe run it, PR, everything behind the scenes while you teach lessons, keep an eye on instructions for potential machines and so on, we might even be able to ask the government for a quirk license after convincing to get I dunno some of your vigilante buddies a job, without the government know that they do that of course but that we can protect ourselves if someone goes berserker with their quirk and to support U.A. students to get a job where they are allowed to train, something like that? Oh, baby, I am sorry, I am rambling." She felt guilty for all that but she hoped he had caught all her words because she was getting excited, if he did not say anything nor stop her she would kiss him, on his lips, every inch of his cheek his nose, his forehead, she was hyped for a potential solution, they would need a spot, if she could convince the government and they could maybe hire Miku and Haruuhi if they wanted for jobs and use their quirk there, for what he taught the students, it would not be illegal anymore and then they would be a little bit safer for everything and everyone and if it was theirs, she could take Kai with her, just have her little office with a little crib where he could sleep. She only needed to find investors... before they could start this because money surely was going down the drain.

She was surprised, by her own thoughts, by his kind gesture.. not that he had not been kind before but the fact that he called himself the luckiest man alive. Her eyes showed the love that she held for him, yes, she had been glad that she had stepped over the issue, that they had talked and that they had forgiven and found a solution and would be better together, she would be fine now, forever with him. As G laid down on the pillows, she could not hold herself. Without thinking in her enthusiastic mindset she climbed on top of him. The small woman on top of her fiance and stared at him with bright blue eyes, indicating that she was wide awake for now. How long have they been talking, musing and confusing already?

"There is so much to do, I don't know where to start, I should probably talk to Delta, you know from the Fourth Corner, she can tell me how to get the right license and stuff and and, I can talk to some colleagues at work so we get the license and support, maybe I can talk to the boss get some paid partnership with Metropolitan, I have to consider how they would do that, maybe they really don't want me to leave so I let them buy me for freelancing and I need to dig into the resources on how to get that license but well I know what you could do." She smiled and leaned on his chest without noticing,"You can ask your students, if they would go there, surely we could give them a discount as students, I wouldn't mind, we just have to make sure that we earn it back, I imagine that sports machines are very expensive." She frowned, not sure how they would do that unless the government would be interested and give them a loan but she would have to make a way to get them underneath the potential vibe of danger, they should not know how strong G was with his quirk. "I bet I can put in some good words with my colleagues, flatter some around and get the information I wanted. But what you also should do or ask is what place they would like to use for a training session, we should scout the area, there are so many gyms in Tokyo, I am not sure how good that would be but maybe... really maybe in Musutafu? I mean maybe we can talk to the principal or anyone else for that matter, convince them that we as parents would not mind helping out with training if need be, offering more rooms and so on. I mean I know it now all sounds too good to be true, but we could get your side-chick," She winked, she knew Nimue wasn't like that but he wanted a harem, so have her joke back, "To inform the pro-heroes and they could train at our place, it means we have security at almost every given point and good advertisement, we should offer them private rooms but you know what I mean." Thank god he did not think she was rambling, she could go on for hours now that she pictured it in her mind. They either had to find an empty building or had to make something, maybe the government would support them as there were as far as she knew no other gyms that got a license, but that meant she would have to discuss that... blackmail... no, not this time, she would play this nice and fair, tomorrow she would immediately try and catch up with her economy classes that she had online as she was helping Macabre with her accountancy. "I just have one request on hiring someone." Suddenly something popped in mind.

She was so hyped, moving back and forth in her enthusiasm and explaining all what she had in mind and how she thought it would be the best approach to do so and so. She couldn't wait to try this out in the morning and try and contact her colleagues and so on, she had an idea and she was sure that if she explained her fear of returning to work that Lisa and Nagisa would be able to help her, she surely wished that they could come with her since she now was feeling that she was making a bit more friends around her work and now she was well leaving, albeit she considered the freelancer part and it might be safer to do so as well as maybe changing her writing, to be less aggressive. But as she said that she had one wish to hire someone, which might be even cheap security, she had no chance to explain or even suggest the name of Bashira as G stared at her and asked her a question that she did not understand.

She tilted her head to the side, brushing her braid over her shoulder and staring at Gil with a questionable look in her mind, the moment she wants to speak the words have you recovered, because recovered from what? Her cheeks flush a bright red colour and she nods slowly. "I-I think so." She really caught him by surprise that she sort of froze and had no idea what to do, she was afraid that she wasn't, surely sometimes her legs hurt or her back but it would be fine right? She could be at home here and well she wasn't sure if that's what he meant, was it what he meant? Why did it feel so damn confusing all of a sudden?
