Traitorous Love

Chapter 21- Accusations

I stopped moving, "I'm sorry, what?" my eyebrows shot up and I set the bowl of salad down. I looked toward (y/n) who glared at her mother.

"Mom! Why? That's disgusting!" (y/n) said Ok ouch, I'm not that gross.

I shake my head, " I find myself to be a friend, to (y/n) but no, ma'am I am not dating your daughter," But I want to. Oh shit, I hope she doesn't have a mind reading quirk.

"Guys, there's no point in lying," (y/n)'s mom said with a gleeful smile, "it's so obvious, and it's not like the two of you tried to hide it," we both give her a questioned look.

She rolls her eyes like it's obvious, "Hawks, you talk too highly of our daughter," she narrows her eyes at him, "The way you speak of her, isn't even close to what she can do right now. She is for sure not at the level that you speak of," Her mom shakes her head in disappointment, "The fact is," her mom smiles with no humor, "you are sleeping with him," she points at (y/n), "and because of that he is talking so highly of you," She lets out a laugh, or rather a cackle, sort of like a witch, "Tell me Hawks," she focuses her gaze on me, "are her skills in fighting better or are her skills in bed?"

Ew, did she really just ask me that? ,"Ma'am," I say sternly, "I am not in anyway sleeping or making sexual advances to your daughter," Part of that was a lie.

She rolls her eyes, like she doesn't believe me so I continue, "You're right, I have been talking extremely well about (y/n), but she does have a lot to learn. First being the full potential she has with her quirk. She can dish out her quirk nicely keeping strong steady forces of energy coming at her target, however there is more she needs to learn. Considering she has skills with blades, she can use her quirk as an extra boost to reach farther and faster," I look at (y/n) and give her a smile, which she returns weakly, "and not only that, but she can continue to use her quirk to give her speed when she is fighting. Her flashy quirk could prove for her to be a pro, but her undercover skills, seduction, sleuthing, and her bravery would prove to make her perfect for undercover," I gesture to (y/n)'s parents, "just like the two of you."

I look towards (y/n)'s dad, who offers me an appreciative nod and then I turn to (y/n)'s mother. This better have worked.

"Wow, (y/n)," her piercing gaze is directed at (y/n), "your sister was right, you are the biggest slut ever," The tears in her eyes came out of nowhere, "and I thought I-I raised you well and here you are, being the biggest slut," She gets up, "I-i'm sorry I can't," her voice trembles as she gets up. Wait, what the fuck?

"Mom, I-i promise you, from the bottom of my heart, I am not s-sleeping with a-anyone," I hear (y/n)'s voice next to me. I look at her, and she looks broken and sad, but most of all humiliated.

And I get it.

I'm her mentor and her boss, and her mother, who is supposed to know her the best out of anyone, is calling her a slut in front of me. She is accusing me of sleeping with her daughter, which bothers me. But it's not me I'm worried about, I'm worried about (y/n). Is this what she has to deal with on a daily basis?

(Y/n)'s dad and I make eye contact, and I hope that he can understand my eyes, what the fuck is going on? Her father just shrugs, like he read my mind, "It's a normal occurrence, unfortunately. On behalf of her I apologize that you had to witness that, and that she asked you such ridiculous questions. She just has reservations about (y/n) since she had a boyfriend," (y/n) visibly flinch and she shrinks down. Is he talking about Bakugou?

I nod, like I understand, but I don't. What's the big deal if she has had a boyfriend? She is still smart, pretty, and she always puts her priorities first. I'm not a parent, so it's not like I know the reservations parents have, but it's not like she's a bad kid.

"Ugh, I'm done with this," (y/n) says. The tremble is gone from her voice. Her dad looks at her with an eyebrow up. "Dad, do you think I'm sleeping with him?" she asks like I'm not here.

Her father immediately shakes his head, "No sweetheart, I think your mother is just worried," he says. that is putting it mildly.

"Worried? My ass," (y/n) looks at her fidgeting hands. We all stay silent for a few seconds before she speaks again, a slight tremble coating her voice, "Will you always love me?" she asked her dad.

"Of course I will. (y/n), you are the most honest, the most beautiful and the most wonderful daughter a father could ask for," he says, "I don't believe that you would do anything like that, and even if you did, I would still love you," I think I heard Cece scoff. (y/n) shoots her sister a glare before she gets up.

"I'm tired of all of this," (y/n) mumbles, "I'm just so tired," Tears prick her eyes, as she wipes them away.

She pushed back her seat and walks out of the kitchen. I look toward her father and we share a look.

What is she going to do?
