Wew! Yep you're correct it's another juicy chapter coming your way.
"Mom!" I said as she practically drained all the oxygen from my lungs.
"Oh my baby you did so good!"
"YOU DAMN BASTARD DEKU!"
"Katsuki respect your brother!"
"But he isn't worthy!"
Oh how I missed my family. Thinking of family I scanned the crowd and came across Ochako's family and her of course. Her parents were from what I could see hugging her.
"Hey Mom, I am going to go say hi to my girlfriends parent and then come back with her so you can meet her." I said beginning to walk away only to be pulled back.
"GIRLFRIEND? WHAT?" She asked surprisedly.
"Oh yeah Mother has your dear Deku not told you, he finally had the guts and asked floaty girl out. I don't know how we're twins." Katsuki said in annoyance.
"Kacchan don't say it like that. Mom you know how I've spoken to you about Uraraka-San?" I asked hoping she would remember our many conversations on her over the past three years.
Mom looked pensive before making a face of recognition. "Isn't she the one who can make things and herself equal 0 gravity?"
"Yeah that's her. Anyways earlier today we were talking and I realized that I couldn't imagine my life without her, also both of us had been beating around the bush for the past three years and I just felt that it was the right moment, so I asked her out and well…" I said blushing. She smiled at me.
"Okay go get me that girl, I want to meet her."
"UGH MOTHER SERIOUSLY CAN WE JUST DITCH DEKU IN SOME TRASH PLACE AND TELL HIM HE'S ADOPTED." Kacchan said turning his back to me. Mom gave him the stare which made him sigh before turning around and glaring at me.
I decided to ignore his insult and just walk towards the Uraraka family. Reaching them I felt too awkward to speak so I just waited for Ochako to notice me.
She was speaking to a woman, who I assume to be her mom. Both of them were fangirling about something or someone.
"Mom he's just so cute, his green locks literally make me want to spend every second with him, and his personality is just so sweet. He always thinks of others first and he loves being a hero, I just like him so much!" Ochako said fawning. I smiled, I am pretty sure she's talking about me.
"This doesn't make me happy. My little girl is falling in love with a boy! I am going to hunt him down and send him flying into space." Her dad said grunting. His wife turned to look at him with an angry stare however because I was standing behind him she saw me and smiled again.
"Midoriya right?" She asked me making Ochako turn around in surprise, however Ochako's dad turned around and glared at me so intensely that I almost turned into a puddle of water.
He was the closest to me making it most normal for me to salute him first, but I really wanted to avoid it.
Toughen up Izuku, this is for the girl you like.
"Nice to meet you Mr and Mrs. Uraraka." I said giving Ochako's dad my hand to shake. He looked me in the yes as if searching for any sign of weakness or dishonesty and then shook my hand.
When I went to let go of his hand he didn't let it go. I looked at my hands and then looked back at him. If I used One For All would that be disrespectful. He began to squish my hand and as much as I would love to say that I didn't feel anything I really did, nothing too bad because his quirk wasn't and strength quirk or an enhancement quirk. He nodded after a few minutes of just squishing and staring me.
Then he smiled and brought me in for a hug. "Welcome to the family young man!"
"Stop it, share him I want to meet the boy that's gonna steal my little girl from me." His wife said slapping her husband's shoulder.
He let go of me and immediately I was locked in another embrace. Mrs. Uraraka didn't waste time, not only that but do I look like a dog to her or something, she's petting me.
"You're right Ochako-Chan! Oh but look at these muscles, make sure not strain to much. Okay dear?"She said as her hands touched my forearms.
Feeling a little uncomfortable I gave Ochako pleading eyes and she laughed at me.
"Deku-Kun you're going to have to get used to this behavior." She said smiling at me. I sighed.
"That's rough man! Not even the girlfriend backs you up."Her dad said hugging his daughter.
"Ma'm please, my mom is in a hurry and she really wanted to meet Ochako." I said trying to not hurt her feelings.
"Trying to get rid of me this quickly dear son-in-law. I know how about we all meet your mom right now." She said beginning to drag me away. I looked behind at Ochako and her father and they were following behind us smiling sheepishly at me.
Oh God! What have I gotten myself into.
"Izuku dear," I heard my mom say after a few minutes of walking.
"Hello Ms. Midoriya-San!" Mrs. Uraraka said, letting go of me to hug my mother. Mom was really confused, this woman who she didn't know was hugging her after dragging her son across a room.
I looked at Ochako and begged for help with my eyes. She smiled and nodded before helping me stand up.
"Mom, this is Mrs.Uraraka-San she's my girlfriend's mom and that over there is her father," I said pointing at Mr.Uraraka.
Ochako's mom let go of my mom and instead stared at Kacchan who was just silent behind mom.
Then mom shook hands with Mr.Uraraka, before turning to look at where Ochako and I were standing with her gentle smile.
"Well are you going to introduce us or are going to have to wait another three years?" Mom said half jokingly.
I smiled nervously, "Mom, this is Uraraka Ochako. My girlfriend!"
They didn't waste time before hugging as well.
A few minutes passed and everyone was socializing. Well everyone, but Kacchan.
"MOM I THOUGHT YOU SAID, THAT WE WERE IN A HURRY. IT'S ALL YOU'RE DAMN FAULT YOU STUPID DEKU."
"Katsuki, right this instant apologize to these nice people and your brother." Mom reprimanded giving him a glare, which didn't really do anything. Kacchan just rolled his eyes and walked away.
"I am so sorry, I honestly don't know where I went wrong with that child." Mom said bowing to apologize.
"It's no big deal Ms.Midoriya-San," Ochako's mom said, "we know raising teenagers is tough especially two as you've had to do."
"Not only that but with you being an only parent and all we are honestly really impressed." Mr.Uraraka joined in.
"Oh thank you," Mom said with watery eyes, "Oh an you dear do you forgive me for my son's disrespect."
"Ms.Midoriya-San you don't have to worry about me, remember I've been living with both Deku and katsuki under the same roof for the past three years. I am used to Katsuki's words by now." Ochako said with drop of sweat on her forehead.
"Oh I forget. You're right."Mom responded.
Looking at my watch I realized just how late it was and was about to make a comment on it when we all heard Aizawa Sensei's voice.
"Three years weren't enough, the school is closing right now. Please leave. I need a break from you all."
"Oh yeah you're right Aizawa-Kun," Ochako said smirking. The teacher's eyes flared with anger.
"What did you just call me? Did you forget I am your teacher."
"Actually Aizawa-Kun we just graduated meaning you are a fellow ProHero, not our teacher anymore," said Kirishima joining the conversation.
Aizawa-Sensei glared at all of us.
At some point our parents walked outside because before we knew it. Our class was all surrounding our beloved homeroom teacher.
"No guys, we should call him Eraserhead from now on." Said Mineta grinning.
"Don't you dare!"
"Oh guys how about Otousan, after all he's been our father figure for the last three years, you know." Aoyama said smiling as well.
"Stop it or else."
"Ooh Otousan works since most of us call our Dad's, Papa, or just dad ribbit." Tsuyu said.
"Guys stop these childish antics already, no matter how much we improve he will always be our superior meaning we should just call him Aizawa-Sensei." Obviously Iida said.
"WHY AMI STILL SURROUNDED BY ALL YOU FRICKIN IDIOTS!"
"And here I thought today would be more normal," cried Ochako.
Our little class goodbye was filled with many tears and goodbyes; some of us would be moving across the country, which was heart wrecking but many would stick close by. The ride home with mom and Kacchan was quiet.
Who knew what was about to go down.
Mom barely ever spoke of our father to us growing up, so the fact that she was about to tell us everything she knew about him was unbelievable.
"Okay guys, how about you guys help me prepare the table for lunch and then we'll talk," Mom said beginning to walk away from us and into the house.
"Hold up, Mother you said we'd talk, if you enter that door you'll just keep prolonging the talk," Kacchan said. While I wanted to complain for bringing discomfort to our mom, I knew he was right. She was really avoiding the talk now.
"Mom, if you're not ready to tell us, you don't have to force yourself," I said. She turned to face us and her tear stained face became clear to us. "Mom, stop don't force yourself."
"No Izuku, your brother is right. If I keep on avoiding this conversation I'll never have the guts, and if I were to enter the apartment I'd just come up with more excuses to avoid it. So I guess we should get this over with," she said cleaning her tears, "it's not like I know a whole lot about him."
I looked at Kacchan. This is it, from now on we'd probably have the chance to meet our father.
Mom looked at her hands for a few minutes, "Where to start… well I guess I should explain how we first met anyways," she stopped and sighed, "I was around twenty five years old at the time, he must of been in his late twenties or maybe early thirties. My best friend, Bakugou Misaki, whom you both know, had just gotten engaged to Masaru. Anyways we decided to celebrate their engagement at a bar and well things went wild from there."
"You see Masaru and Misaki decided to head home early in the night, but I was a little bit jealous of what they had and at the same time a little hurt that my best friend would get married leaving me to be the single one in the group. So I drowned my sorrows away with alcohol."
I had figured as much.
"Anyways my entire life I'd always liked mysterious men, so when a scrawny blonde with dark eyes walked into the bar that night I just couldn't help myself." She said crying, "He was mysterious and had an aura that surrounded him that just enamoured me, so when he sat next to me, I almost choked to death. Then he proceeded to having a nice conversation with me. My memory is kind of fuzzy do to all the alcohol I had in me, but from what I can remember we left the bar and went on a walk and somehow he managed to convince him to go have some coffee at his house. That's all I remember. Though the next morning when I woke up I had a massive headache I left before he woke up, but I have a picture that we took on our walk that can maybe help you find him. Also this is a business card he had on his nightstand that I don't know why I took." She said passing us the picture of a young looking All Might and a business card with the name Toshinori Yagi.
I looked at my mom, "Mom do you know who this man is?" I asked her. She shook her head.
"Mom this is All Might there's no way!" I said once more," Do you remember all those years ago when he fought to save Kacchan, but ended up looking super scrawny, this is definitely him deflated back in the days."
"You're right it does look like him! But is All Might's real name Toshinori Yagi?" asked Kacchan looking at the business card.
I thought long and hard about the times when Gran Torino had called him by his name.
My eyes widened in realisation, "it is."
"WHAT? HOW WOULD YOU KNOW YOU DAMN DEKU?"
"Simple, because that's what Gran Torino always referred to him as. My question is why does this business card say his real name and not his hero name?"
"Who knows?"
Mom stood up straight with a serious face, "I hope you guys can finally have what I stole from you for all these years. I won't hold it against you if you both grow to hate me, I just… I've just been really selfish!" She said running away and into the apartment.
"Mom wait, that's not true!" I shouted, making her stop.
"MOM, FOR THE PAST EIGHTEEN YEARS YOU'VE BEEN TAKING CARE OF BOTH OF US."
"Not only that, but you sacrificed yourself so many times for us, and I am sure if it would have been any other woman her own needs would have come before our own, but you mother, your the best mom anyone could ask for."
"AND WE LOVE YOU!" The words I'd never guessed would come from my brother's mouth.
Mom cried "I love you both so much!" She opened her arms wide open and we both ran to hug her.
Our mother despite all her faults, was truly remarkable.
A few days passed and Kacchan and I hadn't spoken about how to deal with the problem at hand.
I was in my new apartment in Hosu City. It was strange to think that a few years ago my friends and I had been here to fight Hero Killer, Stain and now we were back.
That's right Iida and Todoroki are here as well.
I sighed thinking about my ex-classmates. I honestly got so used to living with them that living by myself has become quite boring in just three days.
"Knock, knock," I heard a feminine voice from outside my door.
"Going!" I said excited to interact with another human, even if it's just the cleaning lady. I ran to the door and unlocked it as fast as I could.
Then I was pushed to the side by a very excited Ashido.
Before I knew it my apartment was filled with my friends, well except for those who weren't close by, who were only like two.
"Hey man, nice cribb you've got here!" Kirishima exclaimed.
"What kind of language is that Kirishima-Kun, apologize to Midoriya this instant."
"Hey Deku, do you by any chance know where I left my phone? I thought I might have left it here yesterday."
"Oooh Uravity, what were you doing here yesterday?"
"Uhh Kaminari-Kun, it really isn't like that!"
"Uhu whatever you say! But I am sure Midoriya enjoyed your visit." Mineta added.
"Stop saying such naughty things Mineta-Kun, shouldn't you be acting as more of a role model," Iisa said.
The conversations went on and on until it was really late.
"Guys I think we should probably get going now!"Tsuyu said picking up her things and waking up her roomates Ochako and Yayorouzu.
"You guys go on, I kind of want to talk with Deku for a little bit." Ochako told them as she stared at me. I wonder what has got her in this strange trance.
"Actually Midoriya, Iida and I wanted to know if maybe you'd like to move in with us?" Todoroki asked.
"What? For real?"
"Yeah, our apartment has three rooms so it makes sense, plus we thought you'd get lonely living here all by yourself."
"Then doesn't it make sense for you guys move in instead, this apartment has five rooms, plus it's in the better side of the city and Midoriya pays nothing to live here." Yayorozou said walking out of the room.
"She's right!" I told them. "How about tomorrow you guys move in, maybe we can even get Kirishima and Kacchan to move here as well!"
"Umm you mean you wouldn't mind living with Bakugou again, Midoriya?" Kirishima asked with sparkling eyes, "Man I thought I was ready to live with him as a roommate, but he is even worse then when we all lived at the dorm."
"Yeah,if it's alright with Todoroki and Iida, then I have no problem."
"It's fine with me!"
"Me too."
"Yes! It'll be just like old times." Kirishima said running out of the apartment. "See you guys tomorrow."
"Well Midoriya we'll be going now as well!" Iida said. He and Todoroki left minutes later followed by Mineta and Kaminari, and the Ashido, and Tooru. Before I knew it the only people in the apartment were Ochako and I.
"So yesterday I forgot to ask, how did the conversation with your mom go?"
"It was strange, I think neither Kacchan nor I were expecting it to turn out the way it did."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean she told us about how she met our father and all that, then she gave us his business card and an old picture they took that night."
"So are you guys going to find him."
"I don't think we even need to look, we know the guy and that's what causes us the most confusion on how access the situation."
"Oh My Gosh! You actually know who it is! That's awesome you guys get to meet your father after all these years."
"Yeah, but at what expense."
"Deku, I won't ask who he is because I know that's between your brother, your mom, and you, but know that having a father in one's life is important. The fact that neither Katsuki nor you have had a father figure is not something all that good. Your mom has done her best and she's done well, but there are times when a fathers advice is needed and no matter how good of mom the mom might be, only the father can help." Ochako kissed me, "I love you okay? And no matter what happens I'm here for you. Anyways see you tomorrow."
"I love you too!" i said watching her walk out of the apartment leaving me in the annoying silence of my apartment once again.
