Chapter 8
(A/N- heyy guys! It's been long since I updated this book but I received a request to update so here we go! You guys know the drill so I hope you guys enjoy this chapter!)
-Izuku POV-
Me and Kachaan end up having a good game of tag before we reached his house. Kachaan opens the door and motions me o get in.
Once we get in, we are greeted by Auntie Mitsubishi and she gives me a bear hug. I hug her back and then she lets go of me.
"Hello Izuku, how are you doing? It's been quite a while since you came over."
"Hello Auntie, I am doing fine thank you. It really has been long."
"How is your mother doing?"
I knew that she would ask so I came prepared.
"She is doing fine, she is still on her business trip though."
"If you do need any help, you can call us. You know I have told you that many times Izuku."
"I am managing it fine Auntie. Thank you."
She just smiles and then looks at Kachaan.
" Come on brat and take your dear boyfriend to your room."
"Shut up Old hag."
"I will call you two down for dinner once it's ready."
"Okay Auntie."
"Whatever Old hag."
I chuckle and then follow Kachaan as we both head upstairs to his room. As we reach his room, I look around and see that there is not much of a change since the last time I came over.
Maybe a little bit messier but a lot more the same. He puts his bag near his desk and then sits down on his bed. He pats his bed and motions me to come and sit as well.
I sit down and then he holds my hand. I look at him and smile.
"Hey Izu?"
"Yes Kachaan?"
"Can we make one promise to each other?"
"Sure! What is it?"
He grabs both my hands and then looks at me in the eyes.
"Promise me that we will not hide anything from each other, no matter what it is. That we will always be in each others side."
I look at him in surprise and just stare at him. I don't know how he is going to react once he finds out about 'that' or the fact that mom is dead.
He knows that there is something wrong but he does not know what. How will he react once he does find out? He is-
"Izu!"
"Oh- sorry Kachaan, I was thinking about something."
"I know what you were thinking about Izu."
"What do you mean?"
Does he already know? How did he find out?
"You were thinking about whatever it was that you were hiding from me and trying to figure out how I would react if I found out, am I right?"
I try to speak but no words come out. He gives a sad smile as he already got his answer from my silence.
"Whatever it is Izu, tell me when you are ready to do so but please promise me that you won't hide how you truly feel from me."
"I promise."
"You promise what Izu?"
"I promise that I won't hide how I truly feel from you Kachaan."
He smiles and then gives me a hug. I hug him back and we stay like that for some time. After some time, we part and then just stare at each other. It was really silent between the both of us but it was not awkward.
"Hey Izu?"
"Yes Kachaan?"
"Do you want to cuddle for some time until dinner?"
"Sure!"
We both lay on the bed and pulls ourselves closer to each other. He places his leg on top of mine and we just stay in that position. I close my eyes and give the pretence of sleeping and soon, I hear small snores from Kachaan which tells me that he has fallen asleep.
He is really nice to cuddle with but it kind of sucks that I have insomnia so now I can't really fall asleep. It takes too much effort to do so. I close my eyes and take a deep breath, smelling the caramel honey flavor from Kachaan which has a little burning feeling due to his quirk.
I always did admire him and I still do. He is a hero to me no matter what happened in the past between us. I really don't want to be a burden to Kachaan and he might leave me if he finds out.
I am brought out of my thoughts when I feel Kachaan move around and pull me closer to him. His face really looks so peaceful when he is asleep and I can't help but smile.
He may be hugging me and being nice to me now but I am pretty sure he will leave me once he finds out about them. Heck, even after being in UA and training to be a hero, I can't protect myself.
I am brought back to reality when I feel Kachaan's hand squeeze my own.
"You are not pathetic Izu."
Oh shit! I was mumbling a bit too loud. I can't even do anything right-
"Izu Don't fucking say that about yourself. You are the only person who actually understood me for who I really fucking am. You are the reason why Aizawa-Sensei is still with us. You did so many right things and always fucking care about the other extras. You always put those fucking extras before yourself and it is really selfless of you but you should fucking take care of yourself as well. You may be keeping some things from me but I am sure you have reason for it and whatever it is, I will always be by your side no matter what. No one is going to fucking take you away from me."
I just look at him in shock as tears slowly flow down my cheeks. I try to wipe them away with my sleeve but Kachaan stops me. He sits up and then hugs me.
"Just let it out Izu, don't hold back."
I start crying harder as Kachaan holds me tight. I feel so comfortable which is something that I have not felt for a really long time.
Once I calm down, he lets me go and then looks at me with a smile that gives me butterflies in my stomach.
"Are you feeling better?"
I nod my head, not trusting myself to speak.
"Do you want to play some video games like we used to play when we were kids?"
I nod and then he gets up to set his PC. Once he is done, he hands me one of his controllers.
"I bet that I am going to fucking win this race!"
I give him a grin as I choose my character.
"I don't thinks so Kachaan!"
"Oh you're on!"
We start and spend the rest of the day playing video games until dinner time. Auntie Mitsuki calls us downstairs so we close up and then head downstairs.
God it smells so heavenly. I really do miss Auntie Mitsuki's cooking, she cooks the best and so does Kachaan. I used to cook so bad before but now I have learnt cooking on my own. It took some time but it worked out in the end.
Auntie Mitsuki sets the table, places the food and then motions us to sit down. I grab a seat next to Kachaan and Auntie Mitsuki sits next to me.
-Katsuki POV-
"Let's dig in?"
The Old hag says and we start eating. I already told the Old Hag about Izuku so she knows. She looks at me and I give her a nod.
"Izuku dear, How are you doing now?"
He looks startled for a second and then responds,
"I am doing fine Auntie Thank you."
I look at him and give him a questioning look but he just shrugs it off.
"How is your mom doing Izuku? Have you contacted her?"
I watch his reaction and this time, he appears to be in shock before he recovers himself.
"Oh..uhh..she is doing fine but I haven't talked to her recently."
He looks down on his food and the old hag looks at me and I give her a nod.
"Oh okay."
He was lying. I know for sure that he was fucking lying there but about what? Is his mom not okay? If not, why didn't he fucking tell us? Or is there fucking something else behind it?
"Hey Izu?"
He looks up at me and smiles but I can see the amount of strength it took to put that smile. There is definitely something fucking wrong.
"When is the last time you called her?"
The old hag joins me as well.
"Oh yeah I wanted to know as well since she was not picking up when I called her this week."
He stays quiet for a second and then replies but I can see the terror in his eyes.
"Oh I don't really remember when I exactly last called her since this week and last week, I was busy studying and she did not pick up when I called her last week. I mean....I did call her last week but it was the time she was working so she did not pick up since she was busy."
"Oh okay."
"Wait! I just got a fabulous idea!"
The old hag screams out in excitement and I swear to god, dad should be pretty happy that he is away for the business trip.
"What is it Auntie?"
"Since we are all here, why don't we call Inko? She told me that she would be free at this time."
"Sure Old hag."
"B-but doesn't she have an extra hour today?"
"No she does not, that it tomorrow."
"O-oh y-yeah."
There is something definitely wrong. Why is Izuku so not fucking wanting to call his own mother? He knows that she does not have an extra hour pretty well and I can tell that he wants the old hag to not call her.
The old hag takes her phone from the counter in the kitchen and comes back to the table, dialing Auntie Inko's number.
It rings one time, two times, three times, four times and after ringing one more time, it goes to voice mail.
I look at Izuku and I can see that he is pretty nervous.
"Hey Old hag, let's call her after dinner."
"Okay then."
-After dinner-
We rinse the dishes and then place them in the dishwasher. After all of it is done, we head to the living room. I grab hold of Izuku's arm and we both go towards the couch with the old hag right behind us.
We all sit down and then the old hag dials Auntie Inko's number once more. It rings once and then I hear it. There is a distant ringing of a phone which seems to be coming from upstairs.
Izuku seems to be lost in thought, his face having pure signs of horror and terror.
"Izu?"
He is startled for a minute before he recovers from it.
"Y-yes Kachaan?"
"What is going on? You seem to be not wanting to call your mom, why?"
"It's nothing Kachaan."
"You can tell me Izuku, did you guys have a fight?"
"It's nothing Kachaan, we did not have a fight."
"Izuku dear, what's going on?"
"It's nothing Auntie Mitsuki."
The old hag looks at me and I give her a nod so she redials Auntie's number. It rings and we once again hear the phone ring from upstairs somehow. The old hag gets up, taking the phone with her.
"I am going to check this out."
She heads upstairs while Izuku just looks at her in horror. I look at him and then pull him into a hug.
"Calm down Izuku, what going on?"
He does not reply but just stares ahead. I let him go and look at him. He does not have seemed to notice that I had hugged him or said anything. He seems to be mumbling something and thank god that I can actually fucking understand his mumbling now.
"N-no..n-no...n-no, s-she can't find out. T-they are g-going to l-leave me. T-hey will leave me for not t-telling them. They are g-going to find out. No......no.......no.....no...no......-"
"Izuku please! Calm down! I am here for you Izu, I will never leave you and neither will the rest of us."
He seems to have heard that since he calms down a bit.
"Sorry Kachaan, I am sorry, I-"
"What are you apologizing for Izu?"
"Y-you will find out now."
I was about to question him when the old hag comes downstairs with her phone and another phone in her hand. I look carefully and realize that the phone belongs to Auntie Inko.
"Izuku dear, why is Inko's phone with you?"
She seems to surprised and trying to figure out some kind of answer but Izuku does not reply.
"Izu please tell us."
I hold his hand and look at him. He looks at me and then sighs.
"I will take you guys somewhere, will you follow me? It would help you better to understand exactly what happened."
"Okay dear, let's go."
We all head out and follow Izuku, who seems to know where he is heading to. After some time walking, we reach about graveyard. He motions us inside and me and the old hag look at each other with confusion.
We both follow Izuku, who then stops beside a grave that looks a bit old.
"Why the hell are we here Izu?"
"I don't understand either dear."
"Please Auntie Mitsuki and Kachaan, read the name."
We both turn to the grave to read it and our earlier confused faces turn to horror and shock.
Inko Midoriya
Age: xx
xxxx-xxxx
The most loving, caring and
kind mother one has
ever had.
What!? How come we did not know? She died 4 years ago and we never knew! Then who the fuck were we talking to on the phone?
"I believe you both have many questions but I will explain."
"But how come we never knew about Inko's death and who were we talking to on the phone?"
"Auntie that was me you were talking to on the phone."
"How!?"
"I built a voice changer and used my mom's voice every time someone was calling my mom. Her work place already knows about her death so they were not much to deal with."
"How did she die?"
"Do you remember the fire that happened 4 years ago at our house?"
"Yes I remember it. Inko told me how everything was fine since you guys were already moving out of your house so most of your house were at your new home."
"That is correct but let me ask you, how did she tell you all this?"
"Oh she told me......through....the phone....no.....that can't be...."
Wait so she died in the fire!? She died in a fucking fire that happened 4 years ago and we never knew about it!?
"It is true. She died in the fire. She never made it. The voice changer was tried for the first time after the fire on you guys through the phone."
"Why didn't you tell us Izu? We could have helped you."
"Because I didn't deserve help."
"What the fuck do you mean Izu!?"
"She died because of me."
