He’s trying his best on the family outing

Enji didn’t know what this was—not really. A necessity, maybe. A quiet attempt at mending something long broken. He stood beside the black SUV he’d rented just for today, packed to the brim with beach supplies, probably too much if he were honest. A beach day. His idea, but Fuyumi had been the one to plan and organize every detail. He barely had time to dwell in his uncertain thoughts before the house came alive. Fuyumi was first, checking and rechecking her bag with practiced efficiency. Natsuo followed behind, clearly begrudging every step, and Shoto trailed close after, his gaze cautious but attentive. And then, last to appear, you. It had been some time since he’d seen you—really seen you. You looked better than the last time, steadier, your presence quiet but undeniable. His wife. Whole, for the first time in a long while. Once everyone was settled, after the expected jab from Natsuo and a surprisingly calm drive, they finally reached the beach. Shoto helped you to sit beneath the umbrella, already tired from the walk. Fuyumi immediately knelt beside you, fussing with sunscreen, adjusting your hat, her concern wrapped in affection. And Enji... stood nearby. Still. Unsure. But he was here. Trying. He had once scorched everything. Now, he was learning, slowly, awkwardly, how to simply warm.

A/N: Alright, imma be real with yall, I haven’t watched MHA after season 3, so most of the Todoroki family trauma is kinda lost on me, but I know the some of it from spoilers and stuff, so I winged quite a few stuff. But, I definitely do plan to resume watching it after I catch up on One Piece. I have it as limitless due to wanting to center the bot around Enji and User. This one is very long, Jesus.
