Izuku Midoriya woke up to the sound of "I AM HERE….TO WAKE YOU UP!", his alarm clock saying this over and over on his right side. Groaning, Midoriya reached over and hit snooze, cutting off the alarm mid sentence. After blinking a few time and yawning, he sat up, stretching his muscles to wake them up.
"Izuku Honey! I made breakfast!" Inko called out to her son, hearing his childish alarm clock going off.
Midoriya smiled softly when at her words, swinging his legs out of his bed and yawning. He got up and headed out the door.
Inko smiled brightly when she sees her son."Ah Izuku, come sit, I'll dish you up some food." The green haired boy simply nodded and sat at the table. "Did you sleep well?"
Midoriya hummed in response, rubbing his eyes and finally waking up fully. "Yeah I did. I thought I couldn't sleep after last night though." His lips turn upwards into a bright smile, recalling last night.
Last Night
Midoriya sighs as he walks through the door of his and his mom's apartment, taking off his shoes and walking in.
"Izuku honey is that you?" Inko calls from the living room, watching a cooking show. She looks behind her to see her son, still looking down after not receiving a letter yet from U.A., the high school he applied for 2 weeks ago.
"Hi mom…. I'm back from hanging out with Kacchan." The boy said solemnly, his head down a bit.
"Has he got a letter from the school yet?" his mom asked.
Izuku nodded "He did last night. He made it in." Despite his sadness at not getting a letter yet, he smiled at the memory. Katsuki Bakugo has been Izuku's friend since they were kids, never too far from each other. While others were put off from his blunt and explosive personality, Izuku knew that he cared about his friends, no matter how harsh his words seem.
Inko let out a happy cheer at this. "Well that's Good!" She stands up and heads to Izuku, wrapping her arms around him. "Don't worry honey, I'm sure you'll get your letter soon." Inko kisses the top of his crazy green hair before breaking away. "I'm going to go grocery shopping for dinner. Watch the house ok?"
Izuku nods and gives his mom a soft smile. No matter his mood, his mom always made him feel better. "I will, be safe mom." He walks to the couch and sits down, sighing softly. He looks up at the ceiling, lost in thought. 'I hope it does come soon….I didn't apply to any other high schools.' He chuckles at himself, surprised at his own insane hope that he couldn't even think of a back up if UA didn't accept him.
A scream broke him.put of his thoughts. Standing up, he quickly ran to the hallway that lead to the entrance. "Mom! What's wrong?!?"
Inko stood there, back turned to her son. He body was shaking like a leaf on a windy autumn day. Slowly she turns around, a nervous smile on her face. In her hand is a letter, on the front, in big letters, the letters UA is visible. "A-A letter came f-for y-you." She tried to keep her voice.
Izuku froze at the sight and her words, his mind racing. Slowly he walked forward and silently took the letter. "T-thank you m-mom." He turned around and slowly entered his room, closing the door behind him. His mom, the groceries forgotten, paced outside his room, muttering nervously as she paced.
Midoriya stared at the letter on his desk, looking at it like it was a bomb. He felt sick, nervousness about the letter being combined by the weeks of worry. Sterling himself, he opened the letter and started to read.
"Dear Izuku Midoriya, We would like to inform you that, after careful consideration, the staff and facility at UA would like to welcome you to United Academia High School.In this letter you'll find a list of all the necessary supplies you'll need for your time as a freshman. We hope to see you in one weeks time.Plus Ultra!From, UA Board of Education"
Izuku couldn't help but yell at the end of the letter, his heart light with happiness. He did it, he made it into UA! After a few minutes of celebration, he looked through the list, studying everything he needed.
When he put the list down he noticed another piece of paper in the envelope. Curious, he picked it up and unfolded it.
"Young Midoriya, I am writing this to let you know what I, the author of the All Might books, thought about your entrance essay. I was the one who read it first, and the first thing I noticed is how long you wrote the essay. There's no need to write 5 pages for a 1 page essay my boy! After that, I saw how much passion you put into your words, how much of your hopes and dreams were put into something as simple as an essay. It reminded me of when I was younger!""I hope you know that you have a talent for writing, a bit rough and shaky at times, but a real talent. I hope I can see more of your writing when you arrive at UA."Best of Luck, Toshinori Yagi
Izuku couldn't believe his eyes. Toshinori Yagi, his icon and his role model, had personally written to him! The green haired boy couldn't comprehend what was happening to him, his 15 year old mind shutting down from this insane turn of events. Silently, he stood up and grabbed both the acceptance letter and the letter from Toshinori and went out to show his mother.
Current Day
Inko smiled at the mention of last night. Both mother and son cried in each other's arms, happy that Izuku's dreams were coming true. "It certainly was eventful, and it was worth the wait wasn't it?"
Izuku laughed and rubbed the back of his head. "It certainly was, mom. I have to text Kacchan." He pulled out his phone and opened the messenger app on his phone
Deku- Kacchan, you up?
King Explosion Murder-What do you think I am, a lazy ass? Of course I'm up
Deku-Right, sorry. Anyways I got good news last night.
King Explosion Murder-What did you finally man up and ask a girl out?
Deku-No! Nothing like that! I got my acceptance letter last night, I'm going to UA!
King Explosion Murder-Was there ever a doubt? Of course you'd get in you dumbass.
King Explosion Murder- Still, congrats man. Wanna go hang out and get our supplies today?
Deku-Sounds good to me! Meet up at Kamino mall in about an hour or so?
King Explosion Murder-Great, see you then, Deku
Izuku put his phone down and looks up, seeing that his mom made pancakes and sausages, his stack of pancakes topped with whipped cream with red, white, and blue sprinkles. He looks up at his smiling mother.
"I know I said it a lot last night, but I'm so pourd of you Izuku. You've made me so happy that you're my son." Her eyes had tears in the corner of them, her smile the brightest it's been for years.
Midoriya sniffled and wiped the corners of his eyes, tears in his own as well. He got up and hugged his mother tightly, smiling softly. "Thank you for being such a great mother, I wouldn't have any other person to be in your place."
The two of them hugged each other for a minute, hearing going down both their cheeks. Eventually they break apart, both smiling lovingly at each other before sitting down to eat.
"Hey mom, can I go to the mall with Kacchan to shop for supplies?" Deku says, halfway through his pancake stack.
Inko nods at the question. "Of course, as long as he isn't trying to put his moves on you."
Izuku blinks blankly at his mother. "Mom, you know I'm not gay."
"I know, just want to make sure he doesn't try to make you gay is all." Her eyes hold a bit of mischief at her words, showing him that she's just messing around.
After finishing breakfast and helping his mom clean up, Izuku walks to the bathroom to shower. As he undresses, he looms in the mirror with a frown. His body is skinny with barely any muscles showing, and his face still looks childish to him.
"Maybe I should start going to the gym with Bakugo. It couldn't hurt…..ok It could but it's better than staying weak." After Izuku is done putting himself down, he steps into the shower, quickly cheering up as he thinks about UA and his bright future ahead of him.
