Chapter 32- End of year Exam
Izuku and his friends watched from the door of the living room as Shouta and his friends sat in the kitchen, papers all over the table as they spoke and helped each other on revision.
"What doing?" Katsuki asked confused.
"Um, they have tests. Very hard! They are trying to remember stuff." Tenya tried explaining.
"Very important tests!" Izuku nodded. "We can't interrupt them!" He told them, Tenya and Katsuki nodded. But they continued to watch the teens with interest. Izuku gasped as he had an idea. "I know, I can teach you what Nezu-sensei teaches me! We can revision like Nii-chan!"
"What do we need?" Tenya asked
"Um, note books, paper and colours to write!" Izuku said, going over to his drawing draw in the living room and get out a lot of paper. He put it on the table with some colours. Before moving his chalk board in front of the table. "Just like big school!" He said proudly. His friends sat down, Katsuki choosing a red color and Tenya choosing blue. Izuku grabbed his chalk and began to 'teach' his friends.
The teens fell quiet as they took a break, Shouta ended up frowning.
"Is it just a bit too quiet in here?" He asked
"I was just thinking that…" Tensei muttered.
"Maybe the kids went to sleep. You know they tend to jump around and waste energy quickly." Nemuri suggested taking a drink from her bag.
"Um…maybe…" Shouta got up anyway to check on them. He almost laughed when he saw the scene before him. Izuku helping his friends with…something. He couldn't make out what was on his chalk board, but Katsuki and Tenya were hanging on Izuku's every word. From the sound of it, he was talking about quirks. The others soon peeked in to watch too, they listened as Izuku explained Recovery girls quirk in great detail. Tenya and Katsuki paying close attention and making, what Shouta assumed were notes.
"What are you doing?" Shouta finally asked, with a smiled, The toddlers looked up.
"Nii-chan, I'm, um, teaching. We is revision too!" Izuku smiled proudly.
"Izuku would you help us prepare for our physical exam?" Hizashi asked
"Um… how can I help?" He asked
"Your good with quirks." Shouta smirked, taking a seat on the sofa.
"Can I help?" Izuku looked at Shouta excitedly.
"Right, here's the quirks from our class…" Hizashi began, Izuku listen in intensely. Once he had made notes of them on his board, he kicked the teens out again.
"Me, Tecchan and Kacchan will make notebooks for you." Izuku said, before he closed the living room door on them.
"This is going to be cute." Tensei chuckled lightly. The others couldn't help but agree.
The 'quirk notebooks' were given to them before everyone left, Inko and Toshinori watched somewhat amused.
"I owe you so much if I pass Zu-chan! I get you a special cat teddy of Shouta, okay?" Hizashi hugged him, Izuku giggled happily.
Izuku was at home with his mom the day of the exams, it would normally be a day where Izuku went to study with Nezu, but with exams, Nezu gave him an extra day off.
So, Izuku had been allowed to have a friend round, Inko chuckled as she watched Izuku gush over Mirio's new quirk.
"You go through everything, Miochan?" Izuku asked, Mirio nodded.
"It's called permeable!" He told his younger friend proudly.
"So cool!" Izuku gasped, Inko watched them with a small smile.
"Would you boys like some snacks?" Inko called, "And Mitsuki is bringing Katsuki around in a bit Izuku."
"Please, and Kacchan! We can play hide and seek!" Izuku smiled "I am good at Seeking, Nii-chan has been teaching me!"
"Sounds fun!" Mirio beamed, Inko placed down a plate of fruit slices and cups of watermelon flavoured Ramune.
"Thank you Mama!" Izuku happily helped himself to a slice of apple. Mirio also took a slice.
"Thank you Midoriya-san!" Mirio beamed.
"No problem boys." Inko smiled and leaving them to play as she waited for Mitsuki to arrive.
"Kacchan!" Izuku cheered as his other best friend was settled next to him and Mirio.
"Zuchan!" Katsuki was eyeing Mirio in confusion.
"Kacchan, this is Miochan! He from day-care!" Izuku happily introduced them to each other.
"Hi!" Mirio beamed, Katsuki gave him small wave.
"Let all play hide and seek! I be seeking first!" Izuku happily declared, the other boys agreed just as excitedly.
Both Katsuki and Mirio had gone home by the time Shouta got back from school that day, Hizashi with him, sporting an ice pack against his neck.
"Oh dear…" Inko said as they came in through the door. "Let me make you some honey tea, it helps when you hurt your throat." Inko immediately got to work as the teens sat down. Izuku looked up from his colouring.
"You okay Zashi-chan?" He asked
"He just over used his quirk in the exam. He's got to rest it for a few days. So, he can't talk." Shouta told him.
"Zashi-chan write then!" Izuku smiled, writing hello in childish Hiragana. Hizashi smiled and wrote back. Shouta shook his head as the silence persisted aside from the scribbling on paper. Inko smiled as she set down the tea by Hizashi. Who nodded in thanks.
"So, how were the exams?" Inko asked, going back to making dinner.
"Okay, we passed the physical, we just need to wait for the written results." Shouta told her.
"Well, I am sure you both did very well." Inko smiled "Would you like to stay for dinner Hizashi dear?" Hizashi looked up, and he actually began sighing to her, Inko chuckled. "I only caught a bit of that dear, you are signing a bit fast."
"You know sign language?" Shouta asked
"Oh, yes, I was wanted to be a carer when I was younger. A hero in their own right, I took lessons after seeing a deaf man struggling at a shop once." Inko nodded. Hizashi was beaming and he signed slower, accepting the invitation, but saying he would have to text his parents to help pick him up later.
"Is Papa coming today?" Izuku asked, looking towards the door.
"Um, he might be busy." Inko frowned lightly, before smiling. "But, I am sure he'll give me a ring if he can't make it."
"Okay…" Izuku pouted. Shouta couldn't help but smile.
Nighteye ended up ringing to say Toshinori was working on this new big case and couldn't make it. But by the time the boys woke up the next morning, they found Toshinori helping Inko make breakfast. Izuku and Shouta sat next to each other as they watched them.
"Will Papa mawie Mama?" Izuku looked up at his big brother. Shouta laughed, and pulled Izuku into a hug, but said nothing as Inko and Toshinori gave them confused looks.
