Pride Fics 21

Hero could only blink stunned at the scene happening before.

“So, Villain, how did you and Hero meet?” His mother asked while sipping her tea.

Villain rubbed his neck. “Well, I was trying to rob a bank and Hero just happened to be in the park across the street.”

His mother placed a hand over her heart. “Aw, a classic start.”

Hero still couldn’t believe what he was hearing. He was expecting his mother to be shocked that he and Villain were together, but she was acting as if Hero just brought home his new boyfriend from university.

His mother gave a wistful smile. “It reminds me so much of when I met Hero’s father.”

Villain crossed his arms curiously. “Got saved while someone tried to rob you?”

Hero’s mother shook her head. “No, when Hero’s father was trying to stop me from stealing a jewel from a museum.”

Hero froze as looked up and Villain looked suddenly ecstatic. “What?”

His mother lowered her tea cup. “It was during my cat burglar days. I’ve told you, dear.”

“No, no, you haven’t,” Hero cried.

Hero’s mother frowned as she tapped her chin. “Oh, then I better explain first how your grandfather got into art forgery first.”

“Pappy did what?!”

Villain rubbed his hands together. “Oh, your family just got a lot more interesting, Hero.”
