After a while of talking and finding out that Vixen basically cock blocked Izuku at the dance. Dan was left alone with Inko as the young boy left the room to find a bathroom.
The silence in the room was overwhelming and Dan was simply staring at the end of his bed while Inko stared at the floor twiddling her thumbs. They both wanted to say something polite and make conversation but neither knew what to say. Dan ran through his mind everything possible he could say. Are you married? Where's your husband? No I can't say that she'll think I'm trying to make a move. You and your son look alike? No. Uh what's your quirk? No no ummm he's thoughts were broken by her speaking first.
"I never thanked you for looking after my little Izuku while he was in Australia with you." He looked up at her feeling a bit more comfortable that'll work "Oh no worries. He's a good kid. I personally think he'll make the world a better place when his time comes"
She looked down sadly ah fuck did I say something wrong? I didn't mean to upset her before he could apologise for something he didn't know he did she spoke "I've been hearing that often from his teachers. Especially All Might. Hearing how much confidence they have in him only makes me feel ashamed I gave up on his dream when he was so young. It shattered my heart seeing my little boys dream get crushed because he didn't have a quirk"
Dan looked at her trying to comfort her "But now he has a quirk. A powerful one. And you've supported him this whole time. Don't be upset about something that was out of your control. Focus on the future and now."
She smiles up at him and wipes her tears "Thank you Dan I needed to hear that" He simply shrugs "Its a lesson I've only recently just learnt. Very recently." Only a couple hour ago I think. Inko gave the most gentle smile ever that it became infectious that Dan couldn't help but smile back. Then Izuku came back "You two are quiet." Inko blushes and looks towards her son "Oh sweetie... I think I also need the rest room which way is it?" Izuku blinked "uhh go down the hall and you should be able to find some signs."
She instantly gets up "THANKYOUSWEETIEBERIGHTBACK" and races out of the room leaving the teacher and student alone "Uhh what was that about?" Dan shrugged "when you gotta go you gotta go." Izuku sat where his mother once sat "Did you two talk at all" "uh un y-yeah nothing important. But now we're private tell me more about your evening with that Uraraka girl." Izuku shuffled in his seat blushing "what's there to tell... nothing happened..." Dan leaned back in his head "maybe something did and you're just too much of a fucking idiot to notice... tell me everything from the moment you walked up to her." Izuku sighed knowing how stubborn Dan is and tells everything. How she thought it was a dream and she was gonna say something when he was trying to confess his feelings to her. "Honestly I don't think she's into me Dan" Dan nods and leans forward with a whisper "let me tell you something" Izuku leans in "what is it?"
SMACK!!!
Izuku cringes in pain rubbing his head from where Dan hit him across the back of the head "What was that for?!" "When it comes to hero's and quirk use you're without a doubt a genius but when it comes to reading women you're a fucking idiot!" "Whats that supposed to mean?" Izuku continues rubbing his head and Dan face palms in response "SHE LIKES YOU!!!" He basically yelled in frustration and Izuku turned pale
"Wh-what?" Dan groans and does the worst Uraraka impression "Is this a dream? I've really missed you Deku. I'm gonna hold you close and bury my head into your chest cause I feel safe in your strong arms" he returns to his rough husky Australian voice "translation she likes you maybe even more then that."
Izuku thought about it. How could he be so blind to how obvious it was but then again what does she se in him for her to like "what do I do?" Dan cracked his neck out of habit before facing the green haired patch of nerves "stick to the original plan. Confess to her. But you don't have the dance for the romantic scene. So you need to man up and ask her on a date."
"W-WHAT!?!? ICANTDOTHATIDONTKNOWANYTHINGABOUTDATING!!!" Dan raised his hand into a fist "you keep acting like a little bitch and I won't hiesitate To Texas smash you in the teeth boy!" Izuku shut up But was shaking in nerves "It doesn't have to be a proper date. It could be a simple outing of just two friends hanging out that could turn into a date. Keep it simple. Take the girl shopping and then slide in a movie or lunch or whatever the fuck it is you Japanese kids do around here."
Izuku nodded "Okay I can do that I think" Dan Smiled at the boy "Good. Call her now" the shaking nerves returned "r-right now!" Dan began to pull a fist back "Tex..." Izuku quickly backed away "I'm calling I'm calling!!!" He accidentally pumps to Inko as she walks back into the room after a quick apology he exits the room.
Izuku held his breath as he pressed the call button and listened to the ringtone. What do I say? What if Dans wrong and she doesn't like me but is instead really nice? Oh god I don't think I can do this. "Hello?" Crap no turning back "H-hey Uraraka." "Deku?! Hey what's up?" "Oh nothing just hanging you know. What about you?" "Oh I'm just in my dorm catching up on some homework." "Oh okay cool." "Is there a reason you called Deku?" This is it "actually i was wondering if you wanted to hangout tomorrow. You know catch up now I'm back you know." There was a pause before she answered "Id love to Deku." "R-Really? Uh uhm g-great. Uh I'll text you later to work out where to go." "I'll look forward to it. Bye" "Goodbye" the nervousness he felt before was replaced with pure joy and relief. She said yes... SHE SAID YES!!! Izuku started laughing insanely in the hospital ward. Meanwhile all the girls that were in Urarakas dorm with her were giggling excitedly and hugging each other.
Dans room during the call
Inko sat back down in her original sit still warm from when Izuku sat in it. She was extremely nervous. She was about to do something she'd never expected herself to do but she felt it was something she wanted to do "So uhm Dan I was wondering.." she paused as Dan looked her way "yes?" Goodness he has the most handsome eyes... damn it focus Inko!! "Umm when you get discharged do you maybe wanna have dinner at my home? I understand you've never had Japanese food before and I'm sure I can make something nicer then any fast food place." Dan simply looked at her curiously whys he looking at me like that? Was that too forward. Did I rush it? Wait what if he's married? What if I'm asking out a married man!!!" He then smiled at her with warmth Oh my he looks even more handsome when he smiles like that. She held her breath waiting for a reply "If you could give me a time and address then I'd be more then happy to come." She instantly felt relieved. And took his phone from his bedside and put her details in "I gave you my number too just in case you get lost" then they we'll both interrupted by Izukus insane laughing.
Dan and Inko gave each other just as young Midoriya walked in with a smile on his face that he struggled to hide. Dan smirked to himself Good in ya mate. Now don't fuck it up. After a few seconds of no one speaking the Midoriyas decided that it was time for them to leave. After Izuku said his goodbyes Inko followed him out and gave Dan a shy little wave.
Once again the Australian was left alone and processing his conversation with Inko thinking how nice it was for her to invite him to dinner until a thought crossed his mind. Wait... DID MIDORIYAS MOM ASKED ME OUT!!
