(this is extra for last chap) there will be many like this.
"Honey, could you get that!" I called out from the kitchen, pausing mid-slice to avoid cutting myself. A few seconds later, I heard Izuku's familiar voice echo from his room, "OK, Mom, in a second!"
I nodded to myself, smiling. He's probably writing up a report about that fight from earlier, I thought, chuckling softly. My son always had such a passion for heroes. It was endearing, even if it worried me sometimes. Turning back to the stovetop, I flipped the meat sizzling in the pan. "Oh, better focus. I can't be daydreaming about him right now - I can't be burning dinner now, can I? I giggled to myself.

A minute passed, and I heard him running down the hall toward the door. My heart warmed at the thought. Maybe it's one of his friends? It had been so long since Izuku brought anyone over. Ever since he and Katsuki stopped being close, he hadn't really connected with anyone since... his diagnosis...
but distracted by my less-than-happy thoughts, I nearly burned the meat. "Oh no, the food!" I yelped, quickly flipping it over. There I go, daydreaming again.
---
Five minutes ticked by, and I realized Izuku still hadn't come back. What's going on out there? "Honey who's at the door?" I shouted as I plated the food. but no response 'Huh, that's weird, he usually replies to that...' "Honey?" I cleaned my hands off before walking to the front door, catching a glimpse of my son standing at it, frozen. quite red-looking
'oh no did something happen>?' I thought worriedly as I quickened my pace and Standing at the door was a girl, around Izuku's age, with strikingly long hair. Black at the roots, that shifted to a spacey (yeah fuck you spacey's a word) purple at the tips, like something you'd see in a starry night sky.
she was definitely someone you would call pretty, like very pretty. 'oh' I thought, as my eyes switched between her and izuku. a sly smile on my face, my thoughts going in a certain direction but abruptly stopped when "Are you inko midoriya." I heard the girl ask me, her tone was quite professional for someone her age. "I tried to ask him, but he. froze the second he opened the door."
then I realized what must've happened, I blinked twice before snapping back to reality "OH oh, I'm sorry for my son. he isn't good with people." I gave a quick small bow before moving izuku back. "y-yes I am inko midoriya... but, who are you?" I asked as I had not a single clue as to who she was. but she knows me somehow. "right, we wouldn't have met yet, well I'm the owner of these complexes. The landlord. I'm here to speak with you about your one-month overdue rent. Here." She held out a neatly folded piece of paper, her voice leaving no room for objection.
i froze as she gave me a polite smile, that for some odd reason gave me a chill, but that wasn't what I was stunned at. She's the landlord? My gaze darted between her and the paper in her hand. Slowly, I unfolded it, and sure enough, it contained the details of my overdue payment.
she is the landlord! but how? she looked like she could be my son's classmate! Maybe it was her quirk?—yeah, that had to be it. Some quirks could age people differently. That was probably it. Definitely.
"hmm, You seem shocked, but yes, I'm the landlord. And yes, I'm thirteen. but that isn't what's important at the moment right now is it?" she gave me a small smile that just screamed "This is fun" SHE-whaaaat? HUUUUH?????
I shouted in pure confusion inside my mind before I too froze like my son.
A/N ahaha, being an asshole never gets old. even to a kind lady.
don't like this? leave.
