“Papa, we need to talk,” Kasumi says, strolling into the living room with a thick binder tucked against her chest. 

Papa stops folding their laundry and turns to her, adopting a serious expression on his face.  “Yes?”  

“It’s about your marriage,” Kasumi answers gravely.

                            2
                        
Papa blinks. "Say that again?" 

"Marry," she says, enunciating the word carefully. "It's about time for you to get marry, so I brought some options for you to chose from." 

"Kasumi-chan, we talked about this." Papa frowns, looking concern. "I'm happy with just us two."

                            3
                        
"I'm not looking for another person to add into our family."

Kasumi sighs, because they did but Papa fought it off every time like it's her happiness is on the line here and not /his/. She got this though. Didn't spend an hour rehearsing her argument to not win.

                            4
                        
“Papa," she starts, "I’m getting older now and one day I won’t be able to take care of you anymore—“ 

“You’re ten,” Papa cuts in. 

Kasumi scowls. “That’s not the point though! I’m just saying I can’t always be with you and I don’t want you to feel lonely when I’m not there.”

                            5
                        
Papa's eyes soften at her words. 

Jackpot. Now going in for the kill, Kasumi looks away for a second and drops her voice to a slight tremor like she can barely contain her emotion. "A-and I always wanted to know what it's like to have another parent like all the other kids."

                            6
                        
"Oh, Kasumi-chan," Papa breaths, and there's a slight wet sheen to his eyes. He reaches out to hold her free hand and squeezes it comfortingly. His lips wobbling precariously but he holds firm enough to says, "Okay, I understand." 

Kasumi tries not to smile but it's near thing.

                            7
                        
It's a silence and unacknowledged victory but she'll take it.

"Perfect," she declares, pulling away from Papa enough to show him her portfolio. "This," she points toward her binder, "is 'Project: Get Papa a Rich Handsome Alpha Husband' or as I call it 'Get rich or Die Trying'."

                            8
                        
"That's—" Papa frowns, making a face before finally settling on, "cute name." 

Kasumi puffs up her chest proudly. "Isn't it?" She opens the binder and steers Papa's eyes to the first page. "Now, I'd carefully handpicked and narrowed down a handful of viable candidates so far."

                            9
                        
"I'd chosen only the best of the bests for you, Papa!" She flips to the next page where several categories are listed out. "I placed each candidate in order by how they fair in the ratings in the criteria I found them in."  

Papa cocks his head thoughtfulul. "Such as?"

                            10
                        
"Well, wealth for one, then looks, family oriented, reputation, employment," she starts, listing them off one by one, "character, likeability, past relationship, education, health, and feelings toward the quirkless." 

Papa's eye twitch. "That's very thorough, Kasumi-chan."

                            11
                        
"I did my homework." She preens. It took her nearly a month to gather all the info needed for her data sheets, but she'd pulled through. The fact that a lot of things can be found on the internet had helped a lot, but it was a long and arduous work. Anything for her Papa, indeed.

                            12
                        
"Thank you for the hard work." Papa's eyes crinkle and he smiles softly at her. "You're amazing as always, Kasumi-chan." 

And it's this kind of thing that make Kasumi's heart soar because only Papa. Her dearest Papa. She wants to launch herself into his lap and scream in joy.

                            13
                        
But, no, she got a mission to completely. 

"Of course." She clears her throat. Turning several pages forward, she lands on a spread with a picture glued to a corner, several graphs, and blocks of text all over it. "Now, the no. 1 candidate so far at a 7.2 rating is Hirota Ryuu—"

                            14
                        
"Our family doctor?" Papa's brows furrow. "And your highest is a 7.2 out of what, a ten?" 

"Yes, Hirota-sensei! And there's always room for improvement." She huffs. "Not everyone can be as perfect as you and me, Papa." 

Papa stifles a laugh into his hand. "Okay, go on."

                            15
                        
"Alright," she says, straightening her back and squaring her shoulders. "He's handsome enough that you won't get bored looking at his face, he's a doctor so he must make enough money to spoil you, and he's nice. All the kids and parents I'd interviewed like him a lot."

                            16
                        
"And so do you." Kasumi eyes Papa pointedly and Papa blushes. 

"Well, he is handsome," he admits wistfully. 

"Good," she nods her head, pleased with herself, "because I gave him bonus point for that. Anyone that you attracted to get extra points for making you happy."

                            17
                        
Papa's lips wobble again and he reaches out toward for a hug but she steps out of the way, shaking her head. "Nope, not until I'm done then you can give me all the snuggles and kisses you want," she says, like it's a heavy burden to be basked in Papa's loving attention and care.

                            18
                        
Papa's face fall as he sits back down, but he holds himself still and rapt in attention before her again. 

"Okay, so," she plows on, "Hirota-sensei scores pretty good all across the board. The only reason his score is that low is the fact he's a serial dater." She makes a face.

                            19
                        
"I can't have Papa competing with others for sensei's attention when it's the other way around. Your partner should always put your first and foremost!" 

"Of course," Papa agrees in amusement, which made Kasumi's narrow her eyes slightly because this is serious business.

                            20
                        
It's Papa's happiness on the line, so she's not playing around. "Alight, so next we have as candidate no. 2 is," she says, flipping several pages ahead, "Todoroki Shouto or as he is known to the public Hero Synergy. He's a 7.0 and a pretty good catch overall."

                            21
                        
Papa perks up at that. 

"You love heroes and he's from a family of them so that gave Todoroki-san a huge advantage over the other competitors. He also got a good reputation among the public. His only downsize," Kasumi grimaces, "is that he got the personality of a brick wall."

                            22
                        
Papa chokes out a laugh. "You shouldn't say something like that, Kasumi-chan!" 

"Well," she starts, rolling her eyes, "he /is/ a little dull. His interviews all come off as dry and I nearly fell asleep a minute in watching them. His beautiful face can only get him so far."

                            23
                        
"A handsome partner is fine but if their personality is dry, you'll only get bored. Emi-chan told me that a relationship need some spice in it to spark passion," she explains. Emi is only a months older than her but she held hand with a boy before so she knows what she's saying.

                            24
                        
Papa reels back, flushing. "You're too young to have that kind of conversation with your friends." 

"Okay," she lies easily, like the lying liar that she is. "So moving on to no." She turns the page once more, but this time with reluctancy as she lands on the next one.

                            25
                        
"He's—" she pulls a face, "not my prefer choice but, here is Bakugou Katsuki or Hero Ground Zero as you may know him with a 6.9 rating."

Papa immediately stiffens at that name and eyes zeroes in on Bakugou's page right away. No surprise there.

                            26
                        
Growing up, how can she not noticed that Bakugou have always been a trigger for Papa. 

"I don't like him," she states flatly with narrowed eyes. "Sure he's handsome, powerful, and is the no.1 hero in Japan but he's also rude, belligerent, and annoying."

                            27
                        
"There are other candidates fairing much better than him all other categories. He's only rated so high," she eyes Papa meaningfully, "because you like-like him so much." 

Papa stutters. "W-what?!

"I know about the photos of Zero you've collected and hidden under the bed."

                            28
                        
"You don't have to lie to me, Papa," she says, smiling sharply. "I know of your crush on Zero! You watched all his interview and bought all his merchs like you don't know I wasn't going to find it eventually." 

Papa drops his face into his hand and groans. "Have mercy on me."
