I Am Here For You (IzuOcha)

Chapter 55: To Forgive and Not Forget

"Yes mom, I'm doing alright promise." Izuku said, holding the phone up with his ear with his shoulder as he scrubbed away at the dishes. Ochaco was humming quietly next to him, drying off dishes and putting them away as Izuku finished washing.

"Izuku I'm just worried about you. I haven't spoken to you in so long!" Inko said over the phone. Izuku smiled sadly a bit as he continued scrubbing away.

"I know Mom. I'm sorry, but I am on an important mission. I need to have proper control over my quirk in order to succeed All Might. You know what I aspire to be..."

"I know Izuku, I know. It's just sending students away across the country? That's a big sudden deal! I wish they would have consulted me first..."

"Mom, it's more of a study abroad than anything. If anything this is a great experience! I've got a wonderful place here, Ochaco is happily with me,"

Ochaco shot him a kissy face look after he said that.

"And it's beautiful here! I'm having a great time. Promise." Izuku said sincerely. Izuku heard Inko sigh over the phone.

"Alright then. Oh wait! Is Katsuki treating you okay? He's not bullying you is he? I don't like that they sent him with you..." She said worriedly. Izuku frowned a bit.

"Ka-Chan and I are getting along... fine. We had a bit of a disagreement but we're okay for the most part. Hopefully..."

"A disagreement means there was a debate, and a debate means you stood your ground. I'm happy with that." Inko said, sounding a bit relieved. "Okay then Izuku, I'll let you go then. I love you, tell Ochaco I said I love her."

"Mom said she loves you," Izuku said, leaning towards Ochaco a bit. Ochaco smiled brightly.

"I love you too Mom!" She said out loud for Inko to hear. Inko chuckled.

"Oh and Izuku, I checked the upcoming weather out there. Apparently there's a prediction there might be a snow storm headed there..." Inko said a bit worriedly. Izuku laughed.

"This late into the winter? I doubt it Mom, and if it does, it can't be more than a light snow. We'll be alright."

"Okay. Just be sure of that. Bye son."

"Bye mom." Izuku took the phone after shaking his hand a bit to get water off, and pocketing the device. He sighed.

"What's wrong Izuku? You look like you've had something on your mind these last few days..." Ochaco asked, her hands slowing down on the drying motions. It had been a week since the the students and horned girl had moved into the mountains. Izuku and Ochaco were happily living as a couple, taking daily visits to see the weak telepathic in the forest leaving Bakugo with Eri duty every now and then.

"Ka-Chan and I haven't really spoken since we started taking care of Hima..." Izuku said, looking a bit down. His status with Bakugo had seemingly had development, however that development came to a crash when Hima came into the picture.

"It's nonsense!" Ochaco said, roughly putting a plate in one of the cabinets. "What's his deal? She needed help!"

"I think something's bothering him. Usually, even if he acts like he doesn't care he'll usually do something in order to help. I just dunno what's got him so upset about her..." Izuku said, letting the water and suds drain from the sink. He shook his hands free of soap, placing the remaining suds on Ochaco's nose. Ochaco giggled and shook her head, relieving herself of the suds.

"Well, whatever he's thinking, its mean. Are you sure we should be letting Eri spend time with him?" Ochaco asked. Izuku squinted his eyes and looked at her.
