Y/n had never once doubted the fact that her mother loved her.
She had never been the perfect mother, or the overly loving mother but she had always done everything she could to ensure her daughter had a good upbringing.
She had worked excruciatingly long shifts as a nurse, day in and day out. Every waking moment was spent at the hospital nearby, dealing with all sorts of patients.
However she would always leave notes around the house, reminding Y/n that she loved her and that she wanted the very best for her one pride and joy.

Y/n had always appreciated her mother for this, only on very rare occasion letting the selfishness get the better of her and fight with her mother because living with her was like living alone. At times it felt like she didn't even have a mother.
But Y/n knew that all of this was for her, that her mother did all of this so she could give her a chance at life that she couldn't have.

Neither of them expected the illness, the sick cells gnawing away at her vital organs without either of them noticing until it was too late.
It had all happened so fast, one day she was alright, saying goodnight to her daughter with a kiss before a night shift, the next, Y/n had received a call while she was at school to come by the hospital because her mother had collapsed. And that was it. She had never woken up again for the past two years.
At first the doctors had deemed it a coma, but after a whole year they had cancelled that out and re-written it as a vegetative state.

"What are you guys doing here?" Y/n asked, questioning their presence at the café. If they had been here to get something to drink or to eat, they would have been seated somewhere, possibly menus in hand and not with Kirishima and Mina trying to hold back Bakugo with a hand clamped over his mouth.

"We wanted to talk" Mina said, a small smile on her face.

Y/n turned towards Kaori, who simply nodded her head, giving her a brief break so she could sit with her friends.
The four of them made their way to one of the booths, Mina sitting next to Y/n, Kirishima and Bakugo both taking a seat in front of the two girls.

"So, what's this about?" Y/n asked, tapping her fingers on the table, her body pressed against the back of her place.

"You should come to the beach house Y/n, you really need a break"

Kirishima had started off the conversation, placing his chin in the palm of his hand as he gave her a soft look. Y/n felt tense at his words, unsure as to how she was going to get them to back down. She knew she had no place in their holiday, it being a break from school and a way to celebrate finishing their exams. But she wasn't in school and had no exams to celebrate, so why even were they here.
Y/n was about to object, but before she could, Bakugo stopped her by speaking himself.

"Don't say no, I won't let you rot away in your flat for the whole summer" he snarled, making Y/n widen her eyes.

"What?" she asked, her voice a little more high-pitched than usual.

"I said, you're coming with us whether you like it or not. Also, I'm paying your share of the house" he retorted.

Y/n gaped at his determination to have her there, unsure as to how to handle the situation. She was certain Bakugo would drag her all the way there if he really had to, so there wasn't that much to say really.

"I-"

"We really want you to come Y/n, please" Mina whined, grabbing her arm and shaking her gently, trying to make her give in by giving her puppy dog eyes. The corner of Y/n's mouth twitched in to a smile at their pleading. She was surprised at how desperate they were, not wanting to leave her behind. It felt nice, the rush of warmth making her give in to the temptation.
