The sun was just coming up on Musutafu, as the sun rays slowly rose over head some of its light began seeping through Izuku's bedroom. As the rays slowly passed over his "bed" they did not pass over him since he wasn't occupying it at the time. Slowly but surely, they reached the center of the room where they began warming Izuku who was sitting in the middle of it. Izuku sat in the middle of the room in a meditation sitting position, slowly repeating a small mantra over and over to himself quietly.
"Be like water."
Slowly but surely his body slowly began morphing itself, the slime that made up his body began moving and setting itself in a shape. Slowly his mitt like hands began forming into fingers, and his face began to shift as well.
"When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup."
Ever since he found the video, it seemed to spark some newfound inspiration to better himself then he thought he could. Ever since then he had been training the slime that made up his body to form itself into a "body". He had grown used to what he had before that it never occurred to him that he could better himself, he had berated himself but eventually he came to terms with it. Like his hero All Might would say whenever he did an interview or helped announce in the sports festival.
"GO PLUS ULTRA!"
He couldn't help but crack a small smile when he thought about his two biggest inspirations, one that helped him push further while the other always sought for improvement. Letting his mind wander for a bit he could feel a portion of his slime move to the top of his head and mold itself until it found a shape that felt natural. The same went for the rest for his body from his chest all the way down to his feet. After finding his shape the slime seemed to set itself, after sitting for a little bit longer he opened his eyes for the first time in what felt like forever.
Bringing up his hands to his face he began feeling around the details that he had not seen or felt in a while. Putting both hands on his cheeks he cupped both to get the feel for them, even pinching one of them and having it snap back into place. After he was done feeling his face, he brought his hands up to what felt like hair to him, bringing his hands back down to his knees he finally decided to stand up. Finally standing on his own two feet he walked over to his closet that hung a mirror on it, looking at it he could barely contain his excitement anymore.
"YES!"
Letting out a small quiet cheer he thrusted his hands up in the air, after months of training himself he was finally able to look like himself. Slowly putting his arms down, he looked at his reflection a bit more, it felt so surreal to see an actual face and body. Bringing a hand up to his cheek he traced a finger over his cheek to trail over the small freckly face that he had. It was odd that he was able to recreate such a thing, but he liked it, it felt so long that he felt like himself again.
Knock Knock
"Izuku are you awake yet?"
Even with his new form he could feel the slime jump up in surprise, snapping his head over to the door he could see the doorknob beginning to jiggle a bit. Not wanting to ruin the surprise yet he lost his form and reverted to his original one, once back he walked over his door to open it.
"Morning mom."
"Morning honey, sorry if I woke you up but I just wanted to make sure that you were okay. You slept in a little bit longer, so I was worried something might have happened."
Glancing over to his clock he could see that some time had passed by. "Its fine, I just woke up not that long ago, stayed up a little later is all."
"Watching more hero videos, I assume."
"Ehh…" shaking his head side to side he couldn't exactly say no since its exactly what he did, but hey it wasn't even a school night, so he was fine. Watching her son a bit she could guess that she hit the nail on the head. "that's fine, I just wanted to wake you up since breakfast is ready, don't want it getting cold now do we."
"No, we don't."
Both mother and son walked dover to the kitchen table and enjoyed their breakfast and each other's company while eating together. Both talked about their week, her asking how Izuku was doing at school, and him asking how the hospital and its patients were doing. Once they finished, he got up and picked up both of their dishes before she could ask anything he spoke first. "Do you mind waiting for a bit, I have something for you." Getting a small nod from her he went over to his room to get something that he had prepared the night before.
Walking back into the kitchen he could see that she was trying to see what it was that he had behind him, once he got to the table he put the small bag in front of her. looking at what it was her face instantly lit up. "Happy birthday mom." She had completely forgotten her own birthday today, but it seemed that her son had not, getting up from her seat she crushed her son into a tight hug. "Thank you sweetie, it completely slipped my mind that it was even my birthday today. You didn't have to get me anything though, you even saying happy birthday is more than enough.
Giving her hug back he responded back. "Will I wanted to, since you mean a lot to me." Smiling at her son again she gave him another hug which he happily gave back to. When they separated from each other Izuku gesture towards the bag to her, understanding what he meant she opened the bag to see what it held. Pulling out a book she could see that it was a cookbook for American cuisines, her face lit up since she had been wanting to learn to cook more things.
Looking inside the bag again she saw that there was a small envelope as well, pulling it out she could see a beautiful flowers on it, moving forwarded she opened it and pulled out the card that was in it.
"To my wonderful mother who has always held me together when I felt like I would fall apart."
It was small but she couldn't stop the tears that pooled around her eyes, clutching the card closer to her she looked up to Izuku and gave him a warm smile. "This really means a lot honey, thank you."
The slime around his body vibrated again in appreciation, he was glad that she enjoyed the present. "I was wondering if you wanted to go out and enjoy the day a bit to celebrate your day a bit more."
"That sounds really nice, just give me a minute to get myself ready."
Once she got ready both Midoriya's had a pleasant day with each other, they had shopped around a bit from the open mall that was near where they lived. They even stopped by a small katsudon stall that wasn't that far away from the beach, it would have been a better experience if there had not been small trash piles littered around it. However it did give him some new ideas on what to do with it, it was a win win situation, nodding his head in agreement he went back to talking with his mom until it was time to head home.
"Ahh that feels better."
He saw his mom resting at the couch, after being out for most of the day it seemed to finally catch up with them. "Now for the last present." From the time that they had been out the idea of it had been eating at the back of his head and the time had finally come. Pushing all worries aside he called out to his mom. "I got one more surprise for you mom."
"You didn't need to do that, your present from earlier and the day we had was plenty"
"Don't worry about it, plus its something that I've been saving for last anyways. Just close your eyes for a minute and I'll tell you when to open them."
"Ok, I'll be right here."
Going into his room he pulled out a bag that he had hidden under his bed, opening it he pulled out a t-shirt and some pants that he had gotten a week before. Laying them out on the bed he went over to the next step. The slime moved a bit more quicker to make up his body, looking over to the mirror again he was happy with the results, he got the clothes he laid out and put them on. Once he was done, he exited his room, looking over to the couch he called out to his mom again.
"Are your eyes shut?'
"Yessss."
"Just wanted to make sure."
Taking light steps, he made his way over to the living room, standing in front of his mom he saw that she still had her eyes closed. Taking a deep breath, he spoke. "You can open them now."
Her head had been trying to come up with ideas on what Izuku had been up to, she heard him go into his room for a bit and heard some noises but nothing to tip her off on what it could be. Then she heard him asking if her eyes had been shut, she couldn't help but giggle a bit, it must have been something special if he were taking every precaution he could think of.
"You can open them now." He sounded hesitant, but when she finally opened her eyes, she could feel her breath catch in her throat. Even though it was someone completely different standing in front of her, she knew that it was her baby boy, standing up she took small paces towards him. Once she was a few inches apart she could see the details that had not been there before, the messy green top of his hair, to his small freckles that he had on each side of his face. Slowly bringing up her hands she cupped his cheeks in her palms and ran them over through his hair a bit.
"Surprise."
Looking at him she could see that he had a nervous smile, it made sense since she hadn't spoken at all, deciding to make it up she wrapped her arms around her son again. She was still a bit taller than him, so she rested her head on his and she patted his back. "You still manage to surprise and make me prouder of you each day you know that."
Wrapping his arms around her, he rested his head on her chest. "I got some outside help, plus I thought what a better time then to show you on your birthday."
"Was it from an All Might video?"
"No actually, it was from someone else."
"Mind showing me, I want to see the person that inspired you."
Looking up he gave her a quick nod and ran into his room to fetch his laptop, after a little bit they both sat on the couch together watching the video that had inspired him. For both it felt like a whole new step into a new life, but it wasn't anything that they weren't used to by now.
