TODOROKI

CHRISTMAS DAY

I'm so nervous about having dinner with Midoriya's parents. I went to see my mother earlier today giving her a gift. She cried as it was the first time, she received anything in years. I just got her a baby bird crystal to put on her desk. I also gave her a picture of myself for her desk, so she was no longer using pictures from online. I took a picture of us together my last visit. I had it printed and framed for her. It's crazy how I can see so much of my mother in myself. I can't wait for Midoriya to meet her.

I knock on the door before holding on tightly to the package in my hand. I got his parents a gift and Midoriya one of course. Buying something for his parents was easy but for him it was hard. Midoriya doesn't have much of a want for anything. It was so hard knowing what to get him. I decided on something I think he would like. Midoriya opens the door grinning wildly.

"Hi," he says shyly. I chuckle on the inside. Midoriya steps aside allowing me into the house. It is very warm and smells so good in here. I can only imagine with our holiday meal is going to taste like. His dad is sitting in the living room in front of the TV. I already know his mother is in the kitchen. "Todoroki is here."

"Great," says Inko poking her head out. His parents have been really supportive of our relationship. I'm sure it is easier knowing Midoriya can't leave campus unless it is with them. I have spoken to his mom a few times as inquired how her baby boy is doing. I'm glad I had nothing but good news to report. "Would you like some eggnog?"

"No thank you," I decline. No way I am going to drink around his parents. "I brought some gifts for you all."

"You didn't!" exclaimed his mom walking over. "Come on give me a hug." I hug his mom making me wish mine was here with me. His father is walking over shaking my hand.

"How are you?" asked Mr. Midoriya.

"I'm good," I replied.

"Have seen Izuku progress reports?" asked Inko. "I'm so proud of him."

"Mom….." says Midoriya.

"He should have high marks," says Mr. Midoriya. "He can't go anywhere. I'm glad to know he is doing better." He pulls Midoriya into his side. I already know he is doing well in school, but I also like that his therapy is going well. He is a lot less jumpy. He is also beginning to get his sexual energy back but still have a few hiccups every now and then. We haven't tried doing anything since that night almost 3 weeks ago. As hard as I got, I didn't want to touch myself without him. I am dying for some intimate contact with him, but I must control myself.

"My combat has improved too," explains Midoriya. I smile at this as he is the top in my class at the moment among 1A students. For the class 1A overall, Bakugou being number one, Midoriya is number two with Kirishima being 3rd. It's interesting how different all the students are but they are all doing well. Kirishima comes to the dojo to get in extra training. I am sure he also trains with Bakugou because their fights are always intense.

"Glad to hear it," says Mr. Midoriya. "Todoroki, want to sit with us in the living room?"

"Did you at least want some hot coco?" asked Midoriya. I nod yes and he goes to grab me some hot coco as I sit down unsure of what to do with myself. They appear to be watching a holiday movie. I never really watch those but for the sake of this evening I will.

"So things are going well?" Mr. Midoriya asked.

"Yes," I reply.

"Did you see your family today?" he asked.

"Yes," I reply. He looks at me.

"You know you can relax a little," he states. Yeah, I'm not doing that. "How did things go with your family?"

"Good," I reply. "My mother really liked the gift I gave her." Midoriya shows up with my hot coco. He sits down beside me.

"Dad can we open our gifts?" he asks.

"When your mom is done in the kitchen," he advises. Midoriya pokes his bottom lip out. I pat his knee and I see his dad squint his eyes at me. I don't blame him. I look at the movie playing before me as I sip my coco. I cool it down a little with my quirk not wanting it to be too hot.

"So cool!" exclaims Midoriya. "Do mine too!" Midoriya takes my mug while I cool his. His dad is watching at me use my quirk.

"That is pretty nifty," he admits.

"It has its moments," I reply handing Midoriya his mug back.

"I use to want to be a hero but decided it wasn't for me," he states. I wonder why he decided he didn't want to be hero. His quirk almost reminds me of my own father. He certainly could have done well. "I have a good job that I love. I just dislike being away from home a lot."

"You have a family, I know travelling must be hard on you," I state. "I traveled a lot learning different fighting styles after high school. I enjoyed it."

"I heard you know 4 different styles," says Mr. Midoriya clearly impressed. "What made you stay?"

"U.A. needed me," I explain. "The combat professor was injured close to the end of the summer. Otherwise I would be gone." He nods seeming to like the idea I would have been gone. I know Midoriya is his little boy but I'm not that bad. Okay well maybe in the beginning I was bad, but I'm much better now. Good thing is no one else has noticed that I'm dating someone. I don't want things to slip any further beyond those who already know. All Might surprisingly hasn't said anything further to me about Midoriya but I also don't see him outside of work.

"I'm here now," says Inko joining us with eggnog in her mug. "I heard you Izuku. Did you want to open your present?"

"You can go first," he says before smiling. I had them the small box. Inko hands it to her husband as he stares at the box.

"Did you want to open it?" asks Mr. Midoriya glancing at his wife.

"Sure, I guess," she replies looking nervous. She sits down her mug before unwrapping the box. "Oh!"

"What is it!" asks Midoriya. Inko is still stunned that her husband takes the paper inside the box before gazing at me.

"You didn't?" he asked stunned.

"D-did I mess up?" I ask becoming a little worried.

"What did he get you?" asked Midoriya. He finally gets up walking around the sofa so he could see. "Shouto…" I know he must be stunned to say my first name in front of them. "A two week cruise for their anniversary!"

"I hope I didn't offend," I reply. I know Midoriya is happy, but I don't know if his parents are.

"This is too much," states Mr. Midoriya in amazement.

"I got something I would have gotten my parents," I explain. "If they were together….." Inko gets up running over hugging me giggling. She reminds me so much of Midoriya.

"Thank you!" she exclaims. "This is wonderful. Honey do you think you can take off?"

"Heck yeah," he said still looking at the certificate. I got them everything I thought a couple would like. Drink package, massage, I covered all of their food that isn't included. I didn't want them to be worried about anything. Inko turns to focus on Midoriya.

"What did he get you?" she asks softly. Midoriya walks back around taking the box out of my hand. He shakes the box causing his parents to laugh. He rips open the paper smiling. He pulls out the PJ's I brought him. They are All Might's colors but doesn't have All Might on it. I wanted to get him something a little mature. "So pretty…" Midoriya hugs the PJs close.

"All Might," he says looking at me knowingly. I hold in a chuckle.

"That's not it," I reply. Midoriya digs in the box pulling out a navy one with burgundy sleeves matching. It is somewhat like my uniform. I blush because now I feel silly for buying it. Midoriya recognizes it immediately. He hugs both to his chest.

"Thank you," he replies.

"Um one more…." I mutter. Midoriya looks surprised before glancing into the box. He pulls out the bath assortments I purchases him along with lotion and body spray. I know it seems a little feminine, but I love my showers.

"I am almost jealous," says Inko looking at the bath items.

"I think he did good," says Mr. Midoriya patting his wife knee.

"Thank you," I reply shyly. I was very anxious. This is the first year I attempted to buy anything for anyone. Inko places her hand on top of mine.

"Todoroki would you mind coming with me for a second," she asks. "Honey, can check on the food. Izuku can you ensure the table is set." They both get up to do what she asked. Inko leads me into Midoriya's room. It feels so weird to be in here. I stand there shoving my hands in my jean pockets to hide my nerves. I have no idea what she wants to say to me. "I wanted to know how is your relationship with Izuku going?" I can't hide my mortification as I wasn't expecting her to ask me that.

"It's fine," I reply.

"Just fine?" she asks.

"He makes me happy," I reply. "He's pleased, that's important to me." Inko smiles.

"I'm so glad to hear that," she replies. She leans against his desk. "He's a boy and he won't talk to me about a lot of things, but I know he miss being in your presence."

"I see him at school 5 days a week," I reply. I know what she is hinting at, but she possibly can't be.

"He wants some personal time with you," she replies. "Him being young and in love I can understand that." I just stare at her unsure of what to say. "I wanted to let you know you can take Izuku home with you tonight if you desire to do so."

It takes everything in me to not start choking. She can't be serious, she can't be serious! I look down afraid to meet her eye. I want more than anything to be alone with Midoriya but I'm willing to wait until he finishes school. We have another couple of months, but I know I can do it.

"I know my son wants," she adds in. "He has brought up his grades, he is doing well, and I know you're a huge part of that regardless of what we think." I make eye contact with her seeing the truth in her words.

"How does your husband feel about this?" I ask. She winks at me.

"You let me worry about him Mr. Todoroki," she says. "You just focus on my son happiness as you have been doing. Please." I glare at her seeing her feelings are genuine. She really wants us to be happy. She is not worried about my age. I'm not sure how she feels about the fact he is currently my student. I don't even know how to feel about this. "Let Izuku know he can stay with you tonight if he wants. That we're okay with it. I think it will be better coming from you." Inko gives me a hug patting my back. "You have no idea how much I appreciate you." I think I do…I think I do. We walk back out into the family room. Mr. Midoriya is cutting the turkey as Izuku is pouring juice into our glasses.

"Food's ready!" exclaims Midoriya. "I'm so hungry."

"Me too," I admit remembering I had not eaten since lunch. I get settled at the table thinking about what his mom said. Can I handle having Midoriya in my home tonight? Do I really want to? What if she is testing me? If she was, I think I would know.

"Todoroki?" asked Midoriya looking at me concerned. "Is everything okay?"

"Yes," I reply. He knows everything is not okay. I can tell by the look on his face. I can't help it…..it's like his mom is okaying for me to have sex with him. It's fucking weird, no question about it. "We can talk later." This soothes him as we all join hands to say a small prayer. I couldn't help but notice Mr. Midoriya is in a good mood. He is no longer taking little jabs at me or cutting his eyes at me. Either he really liked that gift, or the eggnog is getting to him. Either way I'm going to take what I can get.
