11. Discovered

The warm yellow light from the sunrise woke Toga. She was confused at first to find her head firmly pressed against Izuku's chest, but then she remembered what happened only a few hours before during the night. She tried to forget about it. Instead, she just let herself focus on how Izuku's body felt against hers. His well-toned arms were wrapped around her and she felt all of the heat from them fill up her own body. Above all she felt secure, not able to move much on her own, but he was a shield protecting her from the outside world. Looking up she saw his mouth was slightly parted and she felt his hot breath on the tip of her nose. She noticed her own arms were wrapped around him and setting her head back on his chest she felt the slow rise of breathing. She thought of her actual feelings towards him and what their future would hold together. Would they still be together in their future? Did she still even consider herself a villain? Right now her mind couldn't think straight. All of her senses were clouded by him. All she could smell was his masculine scent. All she could feel was his warm body and steady breathing. All she could see was him. And unlike anyone she had ever gotten this close to with, she did not have the desire to taste his blood. However it didn't feel wrong because right now she didn't want this feeling to stop.

Just then she heard the creak of the bedroom door as it opened slowly and a woman's footsteps echoed on the floor.

"Uh oh," Toga thought.

…

Izuku woke up reaching out for something or someone who wasn't there.

"Huh? Where did she—?" Izuku looked around and noticed Himiko was not in his arms or the room. He looked toward the bathroom but no light was coming out from under the room. He began panicking thinking maybe he had gone too far or did something wrong.

"She couldn't have left, could she?" Izuku murmured to himself. Just then he jumped out of bed and noticed the slightly opened bedroom door. He approached quietly and heard two female voices outside the door. He felt relieved for a moment but then went into an even deeper panic. "Oh no, this is gonna be bad," he thought.

He opened the door slowly, figuring if he activated his quirk he could dash out of there and maybe hide on the streets until he became an adult. But at least his mom wouldn't kill him. However his ungreased door had other plans. A big creaking erupted from the hinges alerting both of the women to his presence. Both of them smiled at him, but his mother's smile looked dangerous so he went to sit down next to the less threatening blonde.

"Morning Izuuuu-kun!" Himiko sang out to him.

"Sleep well?" his mother casually asked, way too casually, now adding more fuel to the terror that Izuku was feeling.

"Umm good morning and yeah great," he said confused as he settled down next to Toga. He noticed that they were drinking tea together!

"What is going on!" Izuku screamed internally. Mrs. Midoriya got up and stepped into the kitchen to grab their breakfast.

"So Izuku you didn't tell me you had a girlfriend," she said nonchalantly, not even turning towards him.

His face went red, "Well I—you know—she's not—well um she is—." Himiko elbowed him with her good arm right in the ribs. Izuku weezed, "Yup we are dating. Sorry about not telling you."

"And you didn't mention that she was living with us," she looked at him now with eyebrows raised as she placed down the food platter.

"Umm, I um—," he started but was cut off by his mother.

"Hey Himiko can you go wash up before you eat," Izuku's mom said gently pointing to the bathroom. They waited until she grabbed her crutches and went in.

"So Izuku she got in a car crash and you brought her here?" Mrs. Midoryia whispered harshly.

"Yeah, sorry I didn't tell you, I really wanted to but I thought you might try to throw her out or something. She has nowhere else to go–."

"Izuku hush up, I would never throw out a helpless girl, but I'm disappointed that you didn't tell me."

"Sorry Mom, really…" he said quietly looking down.

"But she can stay for now; she's quite a nice girl. However, her living arrangements are definitely going to change as well as her clothing," she said with a motherly determination. Izuku looked up a little confused but was overall happy that his mother hadn't killed him on the spot for this.

After eating breakfast together Himiko and Mrs. Midoriya left to go shopping, leaving Izuku home to prepare a new room for Toga from his mother's old office. She said that she didn't use it that often and could just work in her own bedroom if needed. Plus it was actually connected to Izuku's room by a door through their shared bathroom.

When Izuku had finished vacuuming the room, just a little before dinner, he checked his watch. "What's taking them so long–." Just then the door burst open.

"Izuku come over here and help your girlfriend with her new clothes!" his mother shouted. Blushing a little at the title of girlfriend he hurried over to the living room and saw his mother carrying mountains of bags filled with clothes and Toga's eyes wide as she attempted to carry even one bag.

"What! This is more clothes than I own!" Izuku exclaimed, grabbing the bags from his mother and Toga.

"Yeah I think your mother went a little overboard," Toga exclaimed. "I've never shopped that much in my life, but it was a lot of fun, I'm not gonna lie. Thank you Mrs. Midoriya!"

"Oh of course honey! I had fun too, and please call me Inko!" the older woman exclaimed with a full grin. It appeared to Izuku that his mom probably had even more fun than Toga.

After settling into her new room, Toga took a shower and finally got to change into some clothes that she picked. As they ate dinner Izuku noticed that Himiko had her hair down to dry and blushed, it was cute seeing her hair different for a change. It suited her nicely. After dinner, Himiko was promptly sent to bed by Mrs. Midoriya. She was worried that Himiko had spent too much energy today shopping and needed rest especially with the higher dosage of pills.

Now that they were finally alone Izuku was ready for the hurricane that he had been mentally preparing for himself all afternoon. However it never came. His mother just sat down on the sofa and continued to watch TV with him at her side like they had always done. Izuku was about to say something when his mother broke the ice.

"You know I had a lot of fun today Izuku. I never had the luxury of shopping with a daughter, but this gave me an idea of what it might be like," She turned and looked him in the eyes. "She is a good girl Izuku. Call it my motherly intuition, but I know she was hurt."

Izuku raised his eyebrows seemingly saying, 'You just noticed the crutches now?'

"I mean mentally, Izuku," she said seriously. "Physical wounds heal relatively easily but mental ones take a bit longer. I'm sure you know this, which is why you should've come to me sooner. You can't do everything alone even how hard you try. Even All Might has had sidekicks," she grabbed his hand and squeezed it. "I'm not angry at you because I know why you wanted to help her, but have some more trust in your mother next time. We are a team, you and me," Izuku then, to her surprise, gave his mother a big hug.

"Thank you, Mom," he said, beginning to cry. It was amazing not to have to lie anymore to his mom as well as have someone else to confide in. Izuku didn't need to struggle alone any longer.
