"We're home!"

Inko poked her head out of the kitchen at the sound of Midoriya's voice. "Izuku! Katsuki! How was the exa-" She stopped talking abruptly and glared at Midoriya. "Izuku Midoriya. You better PRAY that I'm imagining the glitter on your shirt," She hissed.

"It's just from this morning! I broke my finger and reset before I left for the exam!" Midoriya yelped.

While this is technically true, (making breakfast can be particularly difficult when you are both nervous and have the innate ability to not feel pain), Inko easily saw through the half truth.

"IZUKU!" She threw her hands in the air in exasperation. "Just WHAT am I going to do with you?!"

"You tell him, Auntie," Bakugou said, his head in the fridge as he searched for a snack.

"I swear to goodness if you don't at least try to be safer then I will make sure that you never set foot in that school again!"

"But Mom-" Midoriya started.

"NO BUTS! I am sick and tired of you constantly getting yourself killed! You have no regard for your own wellbeing and I am done with it!"

"Where do you keep the peanut butter Auntie?" Bakugou yelled, holding an apple in one hand and opening doors at random with the other.

"To the left of the oven, dear," She called back with a much kinder tone before turning back to her son. "I'm not done with you, mister!" She glowered at Midoriya who was attempting to sneak away as she was distracted.

"C'mon Mom! I'm fine!"

Inko sighed. "I know you are Izuku, but that's not the point. You need to realize that using your quirk in public can have damaging consequences. Did anyone see?"

"Just this one girl-"

"Izuku…"

"-but it wasn't a big deal! She was just a little confused."

"Well, if she gets into UA you'll have to invite her over for pie to apologize."

"You're such a bad son Zu! Making your mom bake apology pies for all the people you've traumatized."

"I doubt she's traumatized…"

Both Bakugou and Inko stared at Midoriya for a minute before Bakugou started to cackle. "Yeah right! The poor girl is probably questioning her sanity right now!"

"It wasn't on purpose! She was literally about to get stepped on by a robot but I saved her!" Midoriya coughed before continuing quietly, "And maybe sorta died a little in the process…"

Bakugou shook his head. "Sorry Auntie, but I think he's a lost cause."

"Izuku this conversation is not over," Inko jabbed a finger at Midoriya before smiling. "But come sit down, you two, I want to hear all about your exam."

"... and then I blew up another robot. And then I blew up a robot and a building," Bakugou said in between bites of apple. "The robot was on the building." He clarified.

This was a necessary clarification as one could never be too sure with Bakugou, the odds of him blowing up a building just because were unreasonably high.

"Anyways, it was really fun. I just got to explode everything."

"That's nice dear," Inko said, unaffected by Bakugou's feral grin. "How about you Izuku?"

Midoriya shrugged. "I punched a few robots, not a ton though."

Bakugou and Inko were quiet as they waited for Midoriya to continue.

"And there was this girl from earlier who was pinned under some rocks-"

"Wait, the floaty one?" Bakugou interrupted.

"The very same."

Bakugou laughed. "Ha! Round face is probably regretting ever getting involved with you!"

"C'mon, 'Round face'? Are you even trying Kacchan?"

"Oh shut up, Mister Lemme Just Fucking DIE In Front of a Stranger-"

"LANGUAGE," Inko interrupted.

While the swearing was an issue in this situation, I'm inclined to point out how 'Mister Lemme Just Fucking Die In Front of a Stranger' is far too long of a name to have any real world applications. I mean can you imagine putting it on a resume? I can see so many potential problems with such a name. Mainly introductions to strangers because if a person came up to you and shook your hand and introduced themself as Mister Lemme Just Fucking Die In Front of a Stranger, I think you would be more than a little rattled and also confused as if they were really saying their name, or if they were simply narrating what they were about to do, in which case you best run.

Luckily Bakugou does not have the authority to name people so Midoriya is still Izuku Midoriya and not Izuku Lemme Just Fucking Die In Front of a Stranger. Although if Bakugou really had his way he might rename his friend Adrenaline Junkie Lemme Just Fucking Die In Front of a Stranger, which also has issues for much the same reason. Yes, it really is a good thing Bakugou doesn't name things.

"And who exactly is this girl?" Inko asked once the two boys had settled down.

"Oh, just this extra that watched as Izu made an utter fool out of himself before the exam. And I guess she saw him die later."

"ANYWAYS, she was pinned under some rocks when the zero pointer nearly stepped on her-"

"I thought you said the robots weren't that big?" Inko interjected.

"Yeah well, this one was," Midoriya sighed. "But that's not the point! She was about to get crushed and there wasn't enough time to free her so I used One For All and jumped really high and punched it in the face."

"-And then you died," Bakugou finished.

"Yeah pretty much."

"Izuku…" His mother started.

"Yeah, yeah, he shouldn't die and needs to be more careful, we've heard it a million times," Bakugou waved a hand. "What I'm wondering is how many points he got."

Midoriya chuckled nervously. "Well you see, the thing is, I mean it was kinda tricky, and then I was dead so I lost like 3 minutes-"

"Just cut to it!"

"...15. 20 tops," Midoriya said quietly.

Bakugou blinked at his friend before standing abruptly and clapping his hands. "Alright then! Time for plan B, go grab your blackmail notebooks, nerd."

"Kacchan we're not going to blackmail them."

"I'd say it's about your only chance at this point."

Inko sighed. "Katsuki, that's called extortion and you can go to jail for it."

"How would you know that?!" Bakugou shot back.

"...I'm a lawyer."

"So?"

A minor clarification: Bakugou was well aware of Inko's career as a lawyer (you'll find that education in law comes in handy when people accuse your son of traumatizing people via his not so permanent death and/or occasionally committing crimes) however he found it far more fun to ignore this fact unless it was convenient.

Midoriya groaned. "Can we drop it already? Either I got in or I didn't, nothing we can do about it now except wait."

And so they did. For approximately 12 seconds. (This may not seem like a long time but I dare you to sit for twelve seconds in silence during a conversation, do be careful though, the awkwardness has been known to kill over 65 introverts who attempted this.)

"But waiting is boring," Bakugou said eventually.

Midoriya stood up. "I agree, let's go break into UA and see if I passed the exam."

"Hell yeah!"

"What did I just say about jail time?!" Inko yelled as the two boys turned the corner to go to Midoriya's room.

"It's okay!" Bakugou yelled back. "We know a really good lawyer~"
