The stunned look on Izuku Midoriya's face and the silence that followed should've been enough to let his parents know what state of mind he was in. He was shocked, possibly a little pissed, definitely feeling exposed at the moment. His parents did not just say what he thought he heard, had they?
Midoriya shook his head in confusion as he stared at his parents, who were sitting across the table from him."I'm sorry i think i heard you wrong. Run that by me again." he says as he leans forward resting his elbows on the table. He needed to be sure he heard them correctly this time. There was no way, absolutely no way they would do this to him.
"Well...we decided to sign you up for the next season of that dating show For the Love of a Billionaire" his father said running his hand through his mop of blond hair, before sighing softly. "Your mother and i thought it best to give you a little nudge aaaand to show we support you whole-heartedly."
"Your father is right honey." His mother chimes in that voice she uses when she is trying to keep a situation from blowing up. "It's just your 24, and your an established Pediatrician now. Your newly out, and you haven't dated since..ever..." she gave a small shrug and a half smile "we just thought..yah know we could help give you a push." she shrugged again before leaning her head against her husband's shoulder. "please just think about giving it a shot yeah?" giving him her megawatt motherly smile, the one she uses when she wants you to give in to her.
Poor Midoriya closed his eyes and took in a deep breath before slowly letting it out. He pinched the bridge of his nose just trying to take in everything his parents had just said to him. " If it would make you happy then sure I will go along with this for both your sakes. I don't see the harm in allowing my application to go through." By the beaming smiles he got in return he knew he made the right choice in allowing it. Besides he was sure he wouldn't be chosen. There were too many people who applied for his application to stick out amongst the others.
It had been three weeks since his parents had signed him up for that silly dating show. He wasnt expecting to be chosen, he was expecting to go about his life as he had always been doing. So imagine Midoriya's surprise when he recieved a phone call letting him know he was chosen along with 13 other men and women. If he happened to drop his phone in shock, well no one was around to see it.
Needless to say his parents were thrilled and his mother helped him pack since he would be gone for a few months. He still wasn't quite sure how he felt about the whole thing and was pretty sure he was having an out of body experience. He was basically on auto pilot until he realized it was finalliy the night they would all meet eachother as well as the bachelor whose heart they were tring to win.
