Chapter Text
Mina and her oldest and only daughter Eiko were looking through boxes in the attic for spring cleaning, and she happened to find Mina’s old diary.
“Mom, I found something that looks like a diary.”
“Oh, that’s mine, I used to write all my happy memories in there,” Mina looked through it and sighed, “This one is from high school.”
“So we shouldn't throw it then.”
“You can have it, dear,” Mina hands her old diary to her daughter, “Maybe it inspires you to write one yourself.”
“Really? Are you sure I can read it?”
“Of course, I’m not ashamed of my happy memories.” Eiko carefully opens the diary.
Ashido Mina’s diary,
February 14,
“Dear diary, It's Valentine's Day and this year I had to give Kirishima Honmei choco ( "true feeling chocolate") . I didn't chicken out like last year, when I ended up giving him Giri choco. Kirishima was blushing, his face as red as his hair, when I gave him the chocolate.”
March 14,
“Dear diary, It's White Day and Kirishima finally asked me out. I’m so happy I can't wait for our official first date, just the two of us. My friends and classmates were happy for Kirishima and I. They were excited since we are the first couple in our class, but they also kind of expected that Kirishima and I would end up dating, they said it was a matter of time.”
March 19,
“Dear diary, today is Sunday and my first date with my boyfriend Kirishima Eijirou. The date was really fun, we held hands which wasn't as awkward as I was expecting, and the most important thing from today, the date ended with a kiss. I finally had my first kiss. I like the way his lips felt against mine…”
Eiko closed the diary abruptly while blushing just like Eijirou when he was embarrassed, “Mom this is about dad!”
“Yes, I was dating him during high school, and then I married him, of course, he’s part of my happy memories.”
“I get it, but you wrote about intimate stuff in here.”
“I don't remember writing details about that.” Mina takes the diary and reads the first pages, “Honey, this is just about my first kiss, there's no need to feel embarrassed.”
“Mom, it’s gross,” Mina starts laughing at her embarrassed daughter and continues to read.
April 15,
Dear diary, today Kirishima saw me in my new hero suit for the first time and he tried to compliment me, but he tried his hardest to avoid referring to my body, and I understand where he’s coming from but also I would appreciate it if he would compliment my body too, since I work hard for it.
"Thank you so much for telling me all the things that you love about my mind and my soul. I'm so glad to know that you don't like me for my body, which I spend countless grueling hours in the gym maintaining,” Mina remembers thanking Eijiro in a sarcastic tone which Eijiro didn't deserve at the time since he was doing his best to compliment her.
May 25,
Dear diary, it feels like summer already, and I went on a shopping double date, me and Kirishima with Jirou and Kaminari. There's something going on between these two, they aren't officially dating but they will be by the end of the school year. Anyway I bought so many cute clothes, I can't wait to go on more dates. Also before our date Kirishima wore some unflattering clothes, I had to say something.
When Kirishima saw Mina’s outfit, he was fumbling to say something, “Jeepers cripes, you're so hot, I might lose my crocs.”
“Pft, thanks babe, about that we need to talk about this outfit of yours. I mean I appreciate that you're trying to repel other girls but the crocs and the ripped faded clothes are too much."
“I know I'm rocking the crocs, babe, but I’ll change if you don't like it.”
“You do babe, and the crocs are fine occasionally but not today.”
“You should feel this camo though.”
“Why, is it soft or something,” she puts her hand onto the material.
“It's made out of boyfriend material,”
“You’re so corny, I love it.
Mina was remembering all the moments she wrote about in her high school diary, when she looked down into another box she saw another diary looking less old, she picked it up and opened it.
"Dear diary, I'm pregnant again... oops. This is the fourth one and the last one, hopefully. When we told our family friends about the pregnancy, Katsuki threw a hissy fit, asking ‘what are you trying to do, repopulate the earth?’ He’s just jealous that he has only two kids, it also didn't help when Eiji told him ‘You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers!’
Anyway, soon I’ll be in 'The “don’t let me eat crap food” phase along with the “don’t tell me what I can and cannot eat”. Also I will blame my husband during my last trimester “you did this”. I hope it’s a girl so Eiko has a little sister.”
That didn't happen, the fourth child was a boy, Mina was smiling to herself while remembering giving birth to her third son, "Ow, ow, Mina stop pulling my hair, I'm gonna go bald if you pull it this hard."
"Don't you dare go bald, after you made me the mother of four kids, you're gonna make the wife of a bald man?!"
“I wouldn't dream of it, but it would help if you didn't pull so hard.”
Mom is always so straightforward she doesn't beat around the bush, not even with dad, thought Eiko to herself after reading more pages.
“Ok, let's put these away for now, we'll never finish cleaning if we keep reading my diaries.”
