Chapter Text
“Izuku! Are you almost finished unpacking” Inko shouted from the kitchen. She was unpacking the kitchen and starting to make dinner. “Yeah mom, I only have a few boxes that have my All-MIght merch and the last of my notebooks in them!” he shouted back.
Izuku and his mother had just moved to the city of Musutafu from a little town outside of Okinawa. He was so excited to be in such a huge city that was busy during the day, and really alive at night, though he was worried his sleep would suffer. After all, he was used to the calming sounds of crickets outside of his window, and not the constant noise of cars, police sirens, and drunk people shouting on their way home.
He and his mother had moved into a small apartment in the city, seeing as his mother was a teacher and didn’t have a huge income, it was hard to find a nice place in the city that was affordable. But Izuku was content with his 2 bed 2 bath apartment with a kitchen and living room that was kinda cramped. Even though he barely had enough room for his twin sized bed, a small desk and a bookshelf, he loved his room; he was so ready to finish decorating his room with all of his posters of all-might and some other heroes. He and his mother lived on the third floor of the apartment building, and the view from his window was amazing. He could see all of the city lights shining at night, and his window was facing the fire exit, so it was kinda like he has a balcony below his window. He can already see himself spending a lot of time out there, just watching the busy city and all the passersby.
“Izuku dinner is almost ready! Can you set the table please?”
“Yeah mom i’ll be right there”
Izuku rushed to help his mom in the kitchen, he got each of them a plate, cup filled with water, and silverware. After Izuku finished setting the table, his mom came out carrying a bowl of rice for each of them and, “Oh my goodness mom! You made Katsudon!”
“Of course I did Izuku, I know it’s your favorite. And since you have been working so hard, helping me unpack and set up everything in the house, I thought that you deserve a reward for all your hard work.” Inko said while placing down their servings of katsudon, “I even made you extra to have tomorrow since I am going to the school for a staff meeting before the school year starts, and I'm probably going to stay late to set up my new classroom.”
Izuku gave her a warm smile, “thanks mom” Izuku then sat down to enjoy his favorite dinner.
After they finished it was Izuku’s turn to clean up after dinner, while he was washing their dishes Inko yelled from the living room, “hey Izuku, since we are almost finished packing, do you want to watch a movie? Your choice!”
“Totally” izuku replied, “can we rent that new mighty team movie?” (the all-might version of the avengers)
“Of course, if that is what you want. Though now that I think about it, we don’t have any movie snacks. After you’re done with those dishes can you run down to that gas station, it’s only a couple blocks away, to get some fun snacks while I set up the movie?”
“Sure mom.”
And so, just like that Izuku slipped on his trusty (and obnoxiously bright) red high tops and slipped out the door to walk down to the gas station. The night was relatively quiet, though Izuku learned quickly that the city was never truly quiet. There was always some kind of noise either from the cars, people walking on the street, or the loud buzzing of bass coming from the different bars and clubs he passed. The walk was much too short for Izuku’s liking, he enjoyed listening to the roaring city, the chaos seemed to ground him.
Izuku always felt like an outsider in his little town, he was constantly mumbling about or writing down ideas for new and different engineering projects. You see, Izuku excelled in engineering, physics, chemistry, and almost anything that allowed him to interact with the world and create something new. Back in his small town he was a leader on the robotics team, practically carrying his team all the way to nationals in Tokyo (that was a lot of fun). However when his mom got a new teaching job in Musutafu that paid a lot more, and brought him closer to his dream school U.A. Izuku was ecstatic, he was so ready to put his skills to the test at a school meant to challenge him and his scientific mind. When he moved, he was pretty sad about leaving his team all on their own, of course he kept in touch with everyone, he was constantly texting Uraraka, Tsu, and Iida now that he has officially moved.
Izuku didn’t realize that he was caught in his head until he ran into a tall blonde, with vermillion eyes that seemed to pierce right through Izuku’s soul,” Oi, fuckface watch where you're going, you almost made me drop my slushie!” the beautiful stranger practically screamed at him
“Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry, I should have been watching where I was going. I just got caught up in my head and wasn’t paying any attention to where I was going. I didn’t make you drop anything did i? Oh my goodness i can get you a new one if you nee-”
“Oh my god do you ever shut the fuck up?! Just get out of my way!” the stranger shouted while walking away from him, “fucking piece of shit, not watching where he’s going ass.” he mumbles while he was making his way back to his car.
‘Well that was a strange interaction’ Izuku thought ‘hopefully i don’t have to see him again… or hopefully I do, his face was awfully nice to look at.’
And with that confusing thought Izuku set off to get a bag of popcorn, chips, drinks, and other snacks he thought that his mom might like; then he purchased them, and walked all the way back to the new apartment to finally watch that movie with his mom.
