Chapter Text
Why anyone went to Disney while it was this hot out was beyond Yuzuka. His shirt was drenched in sweat, and he was consciously aware of people taking photos of him with his dad. Shouto didn’t seem to notice or care, but Yuzuka felt very put on display here. Natsuo didn’t seem to notice anything, which, good for him, but Yuzuka didn’t like pictures of himself floating around online when he didn’t look like a million bucks.
Which he did not look like a million bucks right now. Already, he was missing air conditioning, and this had gone on for far too long. It was barely eleven am, and while the roller coasters were fun, they were not ‘wait three hours in Tokyo’s humidity’ fun. They were all stuck in line for Splash Mountain, and while he was looking forward to getting soaked, he was not enjoying the line as he ate his pineapple Dole Whip. It was sweet on the tongue, almost too sweet after Dad’s embargo on sweets, and he was not enjoying it as much as he should be, considering it was a half melted mess in its cup at this point.
“We probably won’t have the chance to do this once we’re in UA,” Shouto said, and Yuzuka blinked at him.
“What, you think UA doesn’t have summer vacation?” he asked in amusement, and Shouto looked at him.
“We’ll be too busy training over break,” he said, and oh, yeah, that was true. They would be too busy training.
“Mm,” Yuzuka replied as yet another girl snapped another photo of them and started typing on her phone. Yuzuka twitched and checked Twitter, searching Endeavor in the bar, and what he saw was...
Endeavor’s sons are too hot. Please sweat on me!!!
What the fuck.
He stared at the photo of him and Shouto standing there, and then he checked the age of the girl that posted it. Fifteen. Okay, so not that weird, but sweat on her? That was some bizarre shit, and he looked up as a girl approached him.
“Are you Yuzuka Todoroki?” she asked shyly, and he stared at her blankly.
“Yeah...?”
“Can I please have your number?” she asked, and Dad stepped in before Yuzuka tried to figure out how to turn her down, because already he was anticipating his number being leaked.
“Yuzuka isn’t allowed to share his number,” Dad said gruffly, and she looked crestfallen.
“Oh...” she said, and Yuzuka locked his phone and slid it into his pocket.
“Sorry,” he said blandly, and she gave him a small smile.
“That’s okay! Security and everything,” she said and bowed. “I apologize for bothering you.”
With that, she darted away, and it took a second for that to process in Yuzuka’s brain. Had a girl just asked for his number, knowing he was trans? Did that actually just happen? Did she not care, or did she have a fetish or something? Or was he just a boy to her?
“No one asked for my number,” Shouto grumbled, and Yuzuka opened his mouth, but a child started screaming its head off. Yuzuka looked over, and there was a little girl sitting on the ground, wailing as her parents desperately tried to calm her down. Yuzuka tilted his head in interest, and the line shuffled forward as the next batch of people boarded the boat. They were reaching the inside now, and the mom just picked the screaming little girl up and hauled her forward. Seriously, why not leave the line? Sunk cost fallacy, he supposed. They had already been in this line this long, and a little tantrum was not going to keep them from stopping.
The girl’s screams were only getting louder, though, and Yuzuka twitched. She was screaming her lungs out, and how did she have that much lung capacity? Did he ever throw a fit like that at that age? He didn’t recall. She couldn’t be older than five, but Dad was looking a little twitchy.
“Don’t cause a scene,” Yuzuka muttered, and the little girl screeched, “NOOOOO!!!!” and smacked her mother’s hands away. Wow, that was rude, but the mother seemed unfazed by the rough treatment.
“How much longer are we going to be in this line?” Natsuo muttered as he pulled out his phone to check it, and when Yuzuka glanced down at it, there was a message from ‘Baby’ on the phone.
“Who is Baby?” Yuzuka asked, and Natsuo froze.
“Yuzuka, don’t look at my phone!” he said, and Dad twitched.
“Do you have a girlfriend? ” Dad asked, and Natsuo pocketed his phone.
“I’m not discussing this with you,” he said, and Dad stared down at him. “Yuzuka, why can’t you keep your mouth shut?”
“You do have a girlfriend,” Dad said, looking vaguely perturbed, and Natsuo twitched.
“He’s not a girl,” he snapped, and Dad stared at him in silence. “His name is Hayden, and he’s from England.”
Dead silence greeted that, and Dad flushed up to his roots.
“Why didn’t you tell me you were gay? I’m clearly supportive,” he said and gesticulated to Yuzuka, who didn’t appreciate being brought up for this.
“Because it was none of your business, okay?” Natsuo snapped as more color climbed in his face. “Gods, Yuzuka, why did you have to out me?”
“You just outted yourself,” Yuzuka said, offended now. “You could have lied and said he was a girl. Stop dragging me into this.”
“And I’m not gay, I’m bi,” Natsuo snapped, and Dad stared at him blankly.
“So, you may end up marrying a woman one day and giving me grandbabies?” he asked, and there were exclamations from all three collected brothers.
“Oh, come on, Dad!”
“Why are you so old? ”
“You can’t say that!”
“What?” Dad asked, now offended himself. “Fuyumi’s obviously a lesbian, and Yuzuka wouldn’t let a penis anywhere near him without birth control, and Shouto...”
He trailed off and gave Shouto a pained look, and Shouto bristled.
“What does that mean?” he asked, and Yuzuka snorted.
“You’re clearly a homosexual,” Dad said flatly, and Shouto bristled again.
“This trip is a fucking nightmare,” he muttered and turned aside.
“It’s not a bad thing!” Dad said, and Shouto whirled on him.
“Then why did you look at me like that? ” he demanded, and Dad ran his hand through his hair.
“Because you can’t hide it worth shit,” he said. “I thought you’d be more masculine, but Yuzuka’s more of a boy than you are.”
“Hey, that’s lowkey transphobic,” Yuzuka said, offended now, and Dad gave him a pained look this time.
“I’m just—”
“I think we should all stop talking now,” Natsuo interrupted, and there was a crunch of chips behind them. They looked over their shoulder, and there was a boy, couldn’t be older than thirteen, filming the entire thing.
They all froze, and Yuzuka was in the perfect position to see that he was live streaming. Oh, gods, fuck, no.
“Hi, Endeavor!” the boy said cheerfully. “I’m a big fan.”
Dad stared down at him with a blank expression on his face, and then his phone started vibrating in his pocket. He pulled it out, and Tamura was the caller ID. Replies to the live were rolling in, the chat exploding, and Yuzuka honestly wanted to crawl in a hole and die.
“Whatever it is, it can wait until vacation is over,” Dad said, and there was a pause.
“Unfortunately, it can not wait until vacation is over, Endeavor. Let the boys go to Disneyland on their own and get back to the office now, ” Tamura said, and Dad pinched the bridge of his nose. “Natsuo can make sure everyone’s accounted for.”
“I’ll be back in tomorrow,” Dad grumbled, and Tamura inhaled from his nose on the other side of the phone.
“Endeavor.”
“It can wait until tomorrow, ” Dad said and hung up the phone, ignoring it when it vibrated again.
Ah. They were all so fucked.

Endeavor fathered nothing but fruits and this is the funniest day of my life.
WHERE are all these fruitcake genes coming from lmfao???
I think this is a good lesson in if you’re a celebrity, don’t have private conversations in public LMFAO
Endeavor is nothing but a walking scandal at this point and I am living for it.
That’s a whole damn fruit tree.
What kind of genetics made the whole damn Todoroki pool queer???
Watch Endeavor pull a Misha Collins.
No but it would be SO funny if we found out Endeavor was the one producing all these fruits.
It was a goddamn fiasco on Twitter, and Yuzuka was half living for it, half not. He had not wanted to come out when he did, and now his siblings had to suffer with him. Siblings, plural, because Fuyumi had posted a tweet that confirmed her orientation as lesbian. The whole fucking family was outted, and he was relieved he wasn’t the only one that had to deal with intense backlash in the media, but goddamn, imagine if they had all kept their mouths shut.
They really couldn’t get through one vacation without a scandal, he thought in amusement as he laid in the hotel bed. Dad had booked them rooms at the Disney resort, and he kind of wanted to go down to the pool to cool off, kind of didn’t. They stayed until the parade, and now Dad was gone, leaving Natsuo in charge of the twins. Natsuo should not be in charge of the twins, because he was in the other room, having a mental breakdown on the phone with his boyfriend.
“I’m just—I don’t even want to be a celebrity, I want to be a family practitioner. This is insane, I’m trending on Twitter, everyone is coming for me, I don’t know what to do— Okay. Okay. I’ll delete Twitter from my phone, but fuck, Hayden, I am so stressed out right now, and we have two more days of Disney— I know I should just enjoy it, but I don’t understand how Dad could just leave us while we’re all over Twitter—”
Yuzuka tuned him out and threw his arm over his face. Shouto was in the shower, and Yuzuka was freshly cleaned, and really, what was everyone freaking out about, anyway? Going viral across all social media platforms for being queer was a Tuesday for Yuzuka. This was nothing to get stressed over. It would blow over in a week, anyway. No one actually cared beyond quips they could make on Twitter and clever TikTok posts. He knew all people cared about was the current trending topic and how they could get their five minutes of fame.
With a sigh, he rolled over and shoved a pillow under his arm as he unlocked his phone.
LightEmUp: I’m convinced Endeavor is bi.
Yuzuka blinked at that, because he didn’t realize this was a thing now.
LightEmUp: Those poor kids, man.
FrigidBastard: What makes you say that?
LightEmUp: Well, they have to get it from somewhere.
FrigidBastard: There’s no proof of an existing gay gene.
LightEmUp: Oh. Tru.
FrigidBastard: Anyways. What are you doing?
LightEmUp: Nothing lol. Just laying around at home.
FrigidBastard: I’m at Disney.
LightEmUp: Oh, shit, really? Did you see the parade?
LightEmUp: Watch you be Yuzuka Todoroki lollll
Oh, shit, Yuzuka shouldn’t have told him that. Oh, well. Might as well play into it.
FrigidBastard: Yeah I’m totally Yuzuka Todoroki
LightEmUp: Lucky. He’s hot.
Yuzuka stared with bug eyes at that message, and a photo came in next.
LightEmUp: I mean, just LOOK at him.
Why the actual fuck did LightEmUp have photos saved of Yuzuka on his phone??
Oh, right.
Yuzuka was a child celebrity, by proxy of being related to Dad. He was a public figure, and a lot of people probably had photos of him saved on their phones. Shit.
FrigidBastard: Idk he looks like a bastard to me.
LightEmUp: But I LIKE bastards.
FrigidBastard: Probably a spoiled rotten rich kid that never had to work for a thing in his life. You can do better than that lol.
LightEmUp: If I end up going to UA with you and him, you canNOT tell him about this conversation.
FrigidBastard: My lips are sealed lol.
Ah, LightEmUp was too funny. The one bright spot in this fucking mess. But, Natsuo had a point. Why were they continuing their vacation? They should just go home. Yuzuka wasn’t even enjoying himself.
