Chapter 13

"Hi, Denki," Isa replied and softly stroked Mineta's head.

"Mom?" Mineta slowly woke up.

"No, but I mean I could be," Isa laughed.

"My mom used to do that," Mineta sighed and sat up. "She used to stroke my head and let me sleep on her chest, I miss her so much."

"I know you do sweetie," Isa replied.

"Um?" Denki stood in slight disbelief. "Are you two okay, or uh?"

"Mineta, go get ready, we'll meet you downstairs," Isa replied. "And we're fine."

"Okay," Mineta replied and got off his bed. Isa then teleported Denki and herself downstairs.

"There's, wait?" Iida said then realized. "Were you in Mineta's room?"

"Yes," Isa replied.

"So are you going to explain?" Denki asked.

"Explain what?" Kirishima asked.

"Explain why Mineta was sleeping on your chest," Denki exclaimed.

"Wait what?" Uraraka shouted, and everyone else looked at Isa in shock.

"Ok, Mineta had a nightmare," Isa sighed.

"The reason I told him to sleep on my chest was because his mother used to do it."

"You told…" Uraraka shouted.

"Let me finish, and quiet down," Isa interrupted. "Mineta watched his mother pass away in front of him, and his mom and him were really close. His father was a drinker and never really interacted with him and was abusing his mom and that's why she passed away from a ruptured artery, he's been depressed about it ever since."

"Wait, really?" Denki replied sadly.

"Yes, he wears a fake smile most days, he doesn't want to think about it," Isa explained. "I'm the first person he came out to, because I already knew and I told him. He's the way he is because he wants the same comfort his mother gave him. He has called me mom twice just because I did it, he misses her a lot. Just don't talk about it and he'll be fine."

"Oh, ok, I uh," Uraraka replied sadly in shock.

"Isa," Mineta walked over to her crying. "You told them, didn't you?" Isa kneeled down and hugged Mineta tightly.

"I told them what they needed to know, now I think I need to go bug Bakugo," Isa replied still hugging Mineta.

"You are not bugging me," Bakugo snapped.

"But I was bugging you last night," Isa laughed.

"No you weren't," Bakugo replied.

"That's not what you said last night, why'd you call me a bug," Isa smirked and let Mineta go.

"I, I, uh," Bakugo stammered. "I was joking."

Mineta then started laughing.

"That's what I thought," Isa laughed. "But I definitely am really buggy."

"What?" Iida asked in confusion.

"It's an inside joke," Mineta laughed.

"Fly by, Isa, fly by," Bakugo laughed.

"Oh I'll fly by alright, I do it every single day," Isa replied rudely. "Um, yeah, I found a rock."

"I'll kill you," Bakugo replied.
