"Mama." Inko looked down to see Izuku was standing next to her desk, watching her apply makeup with wide eyes. "What you doing?"
"I am going out with Yagi-san, remember. I am making myself look nice." Inko told him, Izuku gave her a confused looked, head cocking to the left slightly.
"But Mama is already nice." Izuku said, before gasping. "Is Yagi-san Mama's happy person? Nii-chan makes himself nice for Zashi-chan!" Izuku burst out, Inko blushed deeply, before smiling at her son.
"I don't know about him being my happy person, but he is a good friend and a nice man." Inko lifted him onto her lap.
"Yagi-san is hero." Izuku nodded, smiling. "He helps us and plays and makes Mama laugh!"
"He does work hard to make us happy, does he?" Inko said, realising all the kindness that came from Toshinori. She smiled lightly and kissed Izuku's forehead.
"Can Yagi-san stay with us, forever ever, like Nii-chan?" Izuku looked up at her, Inko brushed a hand through his hair.
"I don't know, I can't answer that sweetie." Inko told him, Izuku pouted softly, before giggling as Inko placed little kissed over his cheeks. "Want to go and pester your brother as I finish getting ready?" He nodded and hurried off. She smiled and looked back at her mirror for a moment, before getting a wipe to take off her make-up. First official date, go as yourself, he has already seen you on a daily basis. Inko took off her make-up and finished getting her things together.
"Mom! Yagi-san's here." Shouta called, Inko blushed and took a deep breath, putting he bag over her shoulder, just act natural. She headed out.
Toshinori could only stared when Inko came downstairs, a blush rose into his cheek. He heard Shouta snigger a little bit, but he ignored him. Inko smiled at him.`
"Ready to go?" He asked nervously, Inko nodded, she quickly turned to Shouta and Izuku.
"You know the rules for tonight. Have fun." She gave them in a kiss on the forehead, Shouta gave a weak smile, he still wasn't use to the motherly affection from Inko.
"See you later." SHouta and Izuku waved them off.
Part way down the road, Toshinori offered Inko his arm, blushing deeply as he did so, Inko chuckled and accepted it.
"So, where are you taking me?" Inko asked
"Oh, there is a beach side restaurant. A friend told me about it, so I thought you might like it." Toshinori said. "It's usually packed, but I was able to get the balcony table."
"You didn't have to do all that." Inko told him, realising the restaurant he was talking about, and she knew how expensive that place was.
"It's fine, I wanted to make it special… rememberable." Toshinori said. "You deserve the best…" He uttered quietly, barely enough for Inko to catch, but she did, and blushed brightly, but Toshinori was completely unaware she had heard him.
Inko looked across the sea from their seats on the balcony, everything she wanted to ask Toshinori ran through her head. But she didn't want to scare him off or anything. She glanced over at him, before pulling together her confidence and her thoughts.
"Toshi, can… I ask you something?" Inko asked as they were waiting for their orders on the balcony of the beach side restaurant. Toshinori looked at her and smiled kindly.
"Of course!" He said
"It's just… I feel like it is private, and I don't even know if it is true…" Inko frowned, Toshinori gave her a confused looked. He was wondering if she had worked it out. That's not possible…
"It's fine, ask away." Toshinori smiled brightly.
"A-are you All Might?" She asked quietly, Toshinori froze, thankfully no one was around.
"H... It's… "He stopped, before whispering. "How did you guess?" Inko took a deep breath.
"It began back when you came for dinner, your injuries were in the same area then All Might's was in his last fight before you came… Then, I kind thought back, your hair and eyes are the same, your smile. The kindness you show, you just... "Inko stopped.
"Look like him?" Toshinori chuckled lightly, he didn't answer right away as their food was brought and he wait for the door to close before doing so. "I can change between two forms. This is what I normally look like, as All Might, I go into my 'hero form' as I call it."
"I see, but you are take care of yourself, right?" Inko frowned, Toshinori looked at her in surprise. "I know it's a hard job… and the number of villains you stop, the people you save. You are taking proper care of yourself, when you aren't around mine, three meals a day and such." Toshinori was a little shocked but began laughing lightly.
"You really are something else Inko-san, I will work on taking better care of myself." Toshinori smiled.
"You better, I will be watching." She warned him, Toshinori flinched slightly, damn, this woman was frightening, she and Recovery girl would get along brilliantly.
"Yes ma'am." He nodded. Inko smiled, and he felt his cheeks warm up. "Does this...change anything… you knowing who I am?"
"I already knew you, Yagi Toshinori, I just learnt a little more about you." Inko said, before giggling. "You are Izuku's second and third favourite heroes…" She realised, even Toshinori laughed at that.
"I feel better knowing that I am his hero in this form, not just as a pro." Toshinori admitted. Inko watched him.
"You love Izuku don't you, like a father would?" Inko asked, Toshinori's blushed, it was quite visible to Inko. He looked down at his food, unsure how to answer. "Don't get me wrong, I am pleased. You are more of a father figure to him then… you know. And he loves you too, you're one of his favourite people. I am hoping, that now I know this secret of yours, you just won't up and leave us, him. It will break his heart."
"I don't, I don't want to leave you guys... I mean…" Toshinori found himself at a loss for words. "I still want to see you and the boys." Inko gave him a soft smile.
"We'll be happy to have you around anytime." Inko place one of her hands on his, the both of them had a light blush across their cheeks.
Toshinori accompanied Inko home, their arms intertwined as they talked. When they reached the house, only for Inko to invite him in for a cup of tea. They sat at the kitchen table talking, Toshinori told her a bit more about Gran Torino, and how he actually knew Endeavor.
"That actually explains why he hasn't come by, you must scare him." Inko said.
"I beat him three times in a row at the sports festival, not matter how hard he tries, he just can't claim the number one spot… Though, not even I am sure why, he is still very strong." Toshinori muttered, Inko gave him a look.
"You really don't know?" She asked.
"Know what?" Toshinori frowned.
"There is an obvious difference between you and Endeavor, you actually do good, you do more than help people, you inspire them, give them hope. Endeavor is just so cold, and frankly terrifying. Izuku loves all heroes… but Endeavor… he is actually afraid of him." Inko told him, Toshinori looked down at his tea, to let that sink in. That's why he was number one?
"Mama…" the adults looked up to see Izuku rubbing his tired eyes, clutching an All Might blanket.
"You should a sleep sweetie." Inko got up and lifted him up, Izuku yawned and cuddled into her.
"sleepy…" He mumbled, his tired eyes landed on Toshinori. "Hi hi Yagi-san." He gave him a weak wave.
"Hello, my boy, you should really get some rest. It is very late." Toshinori old him. Izuku yawned and hummed in reply, before falling asleep in his mom's arms.
"Oh dear." Inko smiled and ran a hand through his hair.
"Well, it is late, and I should head off too, let you get some rest." Toshinori finished his tea. Inko walked him to the door. "We should do this again someday son." He added just before he left. Inko gave a small nodded, blushing and waved him off. She smiled as she closed the door, looking down at her youngest.
"I have a feeling we'll see him around here a little more." Inko whispered, placing a soft kiss on Izuku's forehead.
