Chapter Text

  Izuku steps with a smile into his mom’s apartment after everything had been fixed. He took the key out of his pocket and opened the door. “Izuku! My baby, I’m so glad you were finally able to visit,”

Inko says, it was obvious tears began to form as she wrapped her arms around Izuku. A soft smile began to form as Izuku himself began to tear up holding her back as he hadn’t seen her since he was in the hospital.

  “Hey mom,” He says turning down his face into her hair, a small smile still on his lips. Inko grabs his sons wrist dragging him into the kitchen a delicious smell wafting in the air, Izuku taking in all the smell he could have his mothers cooking. It smelled absolutely amazing.

 His mother pushed him down into a seat at the table and began putting various pieces of food and plates. His mouth almost began to water at just the site of the food. It was very clear he hasn’t had her homemade food in such a long time. “What all did you make?” Izuku asks looking across at the food his mother was frantically placing on the table.

“Onigiri, curry rice and some natto” Inko continues as she puts some drink glasses down at five seats including Izuku’s seat. 

His head tilts as his mom puts down the glasses as it was just her and him in the apartment currently. The silence was soft yet heavy but his mother’s voice cuts through his thoughts almost immediately answering his minds questions. 

“The Bakugos are coming for our dinner, since you guys both are able to visit we thought it might be fun to have a dinner together just like how we did” His mother says with a smile as she continues to prepare and place food and different utensils and plates. 

A few minutes later a knock on the door rings through the smaller apartment and Inko’s face lights up.

Katsuki groans as he hears his phone goes off Deku- no, Izuku was off to visit his mother and so was most of the class. He didn’t understand why he was annoyed that Izuku wasn’t at the dorms.

He then finally grabs and looks at his phone screen.

OLD HAG

Hey brat, Inko has invited our family to dinner, you are going.

Fine. 

OLD HAG

Don’t wear your stupid sweatpants.

Whatever hag

I guess he was going to this, though hopefully Izuku would be there since his mother did invite his family over. Also the fact Izuku said to our class previously before he rushed out the door hoping to catch his train, that dork. Katsuki caught himself from a slight smile on his face, turning it immediately into his typical annoyed type of expression. 

He began walking up the stairs pissed off at the fact he had to change out of the outfit he was currently in. He listened mostly because Auntie Inko hasn’t seen him since he was little… it made him worry a bit to see her.. mostly since middle school. He would never admit how nervous he was about going to this impromptu thing. 

As he reached his dorm he opened the door slamming it behind him. He then reached for his closet door and grabbed a pair of black baggy jeans and a belt. He began to change into them pondering what to wear for a shirt. He then looked through his closet for a second before just throwing on a tighter white tee-shirt, a larger zip up hoodie overtop of it.

He than took a train to his mothers house, where the hag just dragged him to the Midoriya house hold. His mother knocking on the door before looking at him.

”You better not act like a dumbass brat” The hag says quietly before turning quickly to the door as Inko answers it, a smile on her face.

Katsuki bows down slightly with a neutral expression. “Hello Auntie” He mutters as he stands up straight in the doorway, looking past to see the freckled, green haired guy sitting at the table. His face immediately looking down with a slight irritated expression.

Inko’s face looks indifferent before tilting to the side with a smile. “Hello Katsuki, my dear come in” She says with a smile dragging his family inside.

His mother almost immediately heading to Izuku holding onto him, with a smile. “Izuku baby! You’re so big and you look so strong, and mighty. I’m so glad for you” The hag states with multiple other compliments. It made Katsuki roll his eyes checking his heart monitor on his wrist, everything remaining normal.

He sat down at the table shoving his seat back and sitting on it at the side of the table, next to Izuku not thinking about it. It was mostly out of habit.

For a moment Katsuki looked over at Izuku taking in his appearance, looking from his lips to the hoodie he was wearing, it was a lighter oranger hoodie. It had the words hoodie on it. He scoffed for a moment reading the text before looking up his face light blush dusting his cheeks with an immediate annoyed face which was clear that it was a cover up, as Izuku looks at him.

Auntie Inko put almost all the food onto the table, smiling at his family and himself.

He nods a small thank you Inko before he begins to eat once everyone had sat down and began to eat and talk. 

His gaze shifted to the green haired nerd next to him looking at him before his green eyes shifting to Katsuki. Katsuki quickly rolled his eyes looking down at his food scoffing slightly.

Izuku smiles his taste buds almost singing with the delightful taste of his mother’s food. He was very glad to be home with her even if it was a dinner with Kacchan’s family. 

As dinner finished up some awkward questions were thrown at him.

”So Izuku, have you had a girlfriend or anything like that” Kacchan’s mom asks bluntly her face remaining fairly neutral, but as she said this she felt Bakugo’s gaze heavy on him.

”No ma’am I have mostly been focusing on getting back to school and physical therapy so I can return back to U.A. after the break” He says sheepishly slightly embarrassed at the question. He never really thought about dating anyone, or even anything romantic. 

Inko then chimes in. “What about that brunette haired girl you guys seemed pretty close, and she was awfully pretty” Inko says clearly light heartedly and full of innocence taking a bite of her remaining food.

”Ochaco, oh me and her are just friends” Izuku says tilting his head softly a small smile on his face, slightly embarrassed at this question, especially since he knew Ochaco definitely wasn’t into him especially since the war.

 Inko nods, and then the dinner continues like normal going back to way less awkward questions and such. Izuku begins to glance at Katsuki who was looking at me his gaze harsh. He sees him and Kacchan immediately rolls his eyes looking down at the small amount of food still left on his plate.

After the dinner Inko got up and began to wash some of the dishes, Izuku helping with a small smile. Katsuki joins in taking over in Inko’s place aggressively not letting her wash the dishes. 

“Oi, nerd are we just gonna walk together back to the dorms” Katsuki hissed his hands in the water scrubbing the dishes, Izuku putting the dishes into a above drying rack.

“Oh.. uhm sure Kacchan!” He says in response pausing putting up the dishes to answer.

Katsuki finished washing the dishes and looked around for Inko to find her on the couch talking to his own mother.

”Auntie is there anything else I can help with” Katsuki says trying to be as respectful as possible, which is mostly unusual but it was Inko so he was never rude to her ever. 

Inko begins shaking her head with a small smile “No katsuki sweetie your a guest” She smiles and tilts her head. 

Katsuki nods and sits down in the living room listening to the conversation trying to stay quiet and not snappy especially around Auntie Inko.

His focus shifts to Izuku who was walking in with a smile as he sat down next to Katsuki. 

He looked at him for a second as Izuku casually begins to take off his hoodie a small bit of his stomach showing. Katsuki quickly looks down bouncing his leg as his legs spread into a slight manspread. 

Izuku looks at Katsuki for a second, clearly more focused on the conversation in front of them. 

Katsuki pulls out his phone bored of listening to the conversation, puts a headphone in blasting a random playlist he had before Izuku’s voice chime through. Katsuki looks up at him a clearly annoyed expression on his face.

”Kacchan your mom asked you a question” Izuku called to him leaning slightly towards him nudging him slightly a small smile on his face. 

Katsuki looked up at his mom who sat next to Inko, his dad in the chair next to their mothers.

”Katsuki are you listening” Mitsuki chimes harshly giving him a scowl.

”What hag” He responses crossing his arms leaning into the loveseat.

His mother rolls her eyes scoffing harshly. “Inko was wondering how you felt staying in the dorms so long?” The hag repeats hastily getting impatient with her son.

”It’s fine” He scoffs rolling his eyes slightly towards his mother, than he looks at Izuku and than back at Auntie Inko.

“Well that’s nice, have you both been eating properly?” Inko asks with a small tilt.

Katsuki begins to open his mouth to speak to be interrupted by the nerd besides him.

”Yeah! Kacchan’s been cooking for me and him, sometimes for our whole class! It’s really good too he’s made a lot of good food it’s so delicious mom! I’ll need to bring you some” Izuku continues on quickly, basically muttering to himself about Katsuki’s cooking, basically glowing as he speaks.

”It’s only because our whole class is so terrible we’ll get food poisoning, their dumbasses are just so bad at it there’s no one else who could” Katsuki mutters trying not to be embarrassed at Izuku’s mumbling about his cooking.

Izuku smiles as he gets cut off by Katsuki. “Yeah but not just that you are amazing at cooking Kacchan” Izuku exclaims with a smile.

Katsuki rolls his eyes huffing into his seat leaning into it, arms still crossed against his chest one of his arms on the arm of the loveseat resting on it while he listens to the nerds muttering and bantering of praises about his cooking.

A hour or two past as their families chat and talk occasionally laughing or so, but it was about 8:30 now and it was time to get back to U.A.

”Kacchan we have to go we have to get back to the dorms by 9, remember” Izuku whispers to Katsuki with a smile as he begins to stand up.

He sees him get up as he walks to Auntie Mitsuki hugging her before walking over to his mom hearing Kacchan mutter some curses under his breath for really no reason, like usual. 

“Bye mom, I’ll be back to visit soon” Izuku says facing his mom his hands on his his mothers shoulders a smile on his face as Inko smiles and nods trying to hold back the soft tears beginning to form in her eyes.

Izuku brings her into a tight hug, arms wrapped tightly into a deep embrace. 

He eventually lets go a smile on his face, stepping back before turning and nodding at Auntie Mitsuki, grabbing his bag from on the floor and heading towards the door with Kacchan, whom had a grumpy frown on his face rumbling with annoyance. 

Izuku slips off his slippers before putting on his outside shoes and smiling at his mom and Auntie Mitsuki who were clearly going to spend more time talking which they have always done even at the worst point of Kacchan and Izuku.

Izuku then tilts his head towards Kacchan. “Ready?” He questions looking at him, a soft kind glow in his eyes as he looks at him, his bag dripped across both shoulders behind him.

Kacchan nods and begins to turn opening the Midoriyas apartment, Izuku saying small goodbyes to their parents before they step out softly into the dark, cold air.
