take me back to the night we met: part four

I leave the bedroom and walk down the hallway of our house. I make sure to avoid the creaky floorboards due to the fact they creak. Walking down the hallways I stare at the pictures of me and Katsuki as teenagers. I think how did we even get here. Married and with two kids. All I can think off is we were just teenagers the other day not giving a single shit in the world...

I start preparing dinner. I chop spring onions and toss them into a wok with some fresh sticky rice and add some fish sauce. I mix it around for a bit and turn the gas off and start preparing the fried prawns. I heat up oil in a seperate pan and make the coating of the prawns before tossing six prawns in.

As they cook I dump more rice into the wok, add more spring onions and fish sauce. I grab some bowls from the kitchen cupboard and pile the rice in and top it with spring onions and some chopped fried prawns. I drizzle the meal with Japanese mayo and start placing the bowls on the dining table. I hear a low creak in the distance. Then the dining room door bangs open. 

"Kacchan!" I said jumping at the sudden bang. "Izuku I need you to listen to me properly alright" he said. "Your mum has broken out of prison" he said. I stumble. "You're joking right?" I said, looking into his eyes for a sign of lying. "Check the news.. I"m so sorry my love..." he said. I walk to the living room and turn on the news channel. 

"HEADLINES OF TODAY: Inko Midoriya has broken out of Tokyo State Prison, and she has alleged abuse charges towards her son Izuku Midoriya, the number one hero. She was last seen while Izuku and his boyfriend Katsuki were on a school trip to Kyoto without her knowledge. Inko says that it's Izuku's fault that he was born quirkless. If Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo are watching this we hope you stay safe" 

I switch off the TV and throw the remote onto the floor. "Fuck... we're about to have our lives torn apart right?" I said. "I fucking watched how my mum tore my heart apart at a young age and now she fucking blames me?" I said. "I never even got justice, so many people know my name but don't even know half my backstory and how I stand here as the number one hero while fighting off my trauma" I said while tears poured down my face.

I sniffled and a sob errupts out of my mouth. Then Kacchan walks towards me and wraps both his warm arms around me as I hear a thunderclap outside. "As long as we're together we're both going to fight" he said.

Ten kilometres from here, in a dingy house being onslaught by rain was where Inko Midoriya hid. She had been hiding in the old house for almost a week now. The smell of rotten food was prevalent. She walks downstairs to a dark basement.

There was a dirty mattress and blanket on the floor absent with no one sleeping on it and the drawers were open and empty. There was a mess of small sized clothes on the floor and a photo of her ripped in half. The window nearby was open as if someone had jumped out and left. 

"Izuku.. please come back my child I promise I've changed so much during the time of prison" she said, the noise echoing in the confined room. She reaches for her phone and dials a number.

---

"What the fu-" I yelled. My phone was ringing and the name ringing on my phone Inko. Is it her. I pick up the phone and the voice coming from the other side makes my heart drop. It was her. "I-Izuku.. my child please come back I promise you I've changed so much while I was in prison.. please Izuku" she sobbed.

My mum never adressed me by my first name. She always called me rude words. Could it be? Has she changed in her time in prison. "Come back home.. you can bring your husband as well" she said gaining composure for her voice.

I look at Kacchan and he looks at me astonished. "You're at our old house?" I asked. "Yes" she said. I nodded at Kacchan. "See you in half an hour" I said before hanging up. I change into a mustard colored sweater, some jeans and a beanie before I put my sneakers on and walked out. I walked out with him and we drove to my old house.

Hesitantly I walk up the door and knock. We didn't even have to wait a spilt second until I was pulled into a tight hug from my mother. "Mum- Mum please stop you're going to make me cry" I said. She doesn't let go. Then I fully embrace the hug by wrapping my hands around her back.

"My little bean look how much you've grown since I was gone.. I could only remember you were fourteen when you escaped and look at you I'm assuming you're nineteen" she said. "I'm actually twenty-two mum" I said.

"Twenty-two?!" she yelled. I nod. "Uhm.. Mum this is my husband Katsuki Bakugo" I said looking at Kacchan. "I"m glad you found someone you love, and even though he isn't a girl" she said.

"I also have two children.. one son and a girl, well I should say a boy cause he's out transgender" I said. "I really want to see them both" she said. "Maybe soon, cause his university holidays are coming to a close at he's starting his last term forever there" I said. "How did you become a hero" she asked.

"I got into U.A. high even though I was quirkless. I was given such a huge chance and I built on it to get here" I said smiling. "Well even though I couldn't see you I'm very proud of you becoming a provisional hero. That also being the number one hero as well" she said. She hands us cups of matcha tea shortly. "Mum... you need a new home.. and we want to build one for you" I said smiling.

"This place smells like absolute shit cause we haven't been in this place since ten years.. I still have horrible memories from some of the parts in this house such as the basement where you used to leave me bleeding out on the floor and never come to help me heal up.

I used to hear you making out with your boyfriend while I struggled to stay alive in the basement.. That's where I took the decision to run from home for my own safety" I said. "Fair enough.. I'm really sorry for what I put you through" Inko said. I smile. "At least were equal now Izuku" she said. 

We talk more about my experiences in highschool and shortly we leave to go home. When the car had heated up we drove home. "Izuku?" Katsuki said. "Hmm?" I said looking at my phone. "That went better then we both expected it to" he said.

He pulls over to the side to let the passing cars move ahead, then he unbuckles his seatbelt leans over and kisses my lips. "I love you so much and I never want to loose you.. even if I sound silly I seriously never want to loose you at all" he said. "We have a long way to go Kacchan" I said sniffing. 

Suddenly we hear beeping from under our car. "What the hell-" I said. "Izuku get out now" Katsuki yelled. Then the car exploded. I land on the side of the road where there were bushes. I cough. With a concussed head I look for Kacchan. He was stuck under the flaming car.
