Chapter 44 - Mother

DAY 437

MIDORIYA's POV.

Warmth and a pair of strong arms wrapped around my waist: that was definitely the best sensation to wake up to. I was starting to get used to wake up next to Shōto again and I must admit that, even if it was rare for us to have a nice night of sleep, waking up all cuddled together and not being awkward about it was amazing. My heart swell at every morning kiss and seeing his beautiful facial features so relaxed first thing in the morning, was a great way to start the day in a good mood.

"Izuku..." - a voice called me attempting to wake me up completely. I groaned lightly, only wanting to enjoy Shōto's warmth a bit longer, but I soon opened my eyes when my brain started to function properly, and I realized it was my mom's voice the one calling my name.

I nervously turned around as much as I could since Shōto's head was resting on my arm making my movement limited. The expression on my mother's face didn't help me relax at all, if anything it made me even more nervous than I already was.

"Morning mom..." - I mumbled awkwardly as I stared at my mom standing by the bed with a deep frown on her face.

"Let's talk in the kitchen." - she just said before turning around and leaving the room not even bothering to close the door behind her back.

I struggled a bit not to wake Shōto up, but eventually I managed to get his head and arms off of me placing an unused pillow in my place. My glance fell on the pile of dirty clothes on the floor and my face heated up that the thought of what we did last night.

'Well, fuck you Uraraka!'

I shook the thought out of my head as the nervousness of my mother scolding me about last night noises kicked in.
I lazily walked out the room closing the door behind my back to join my mom in the kitchen after giving Shōto one last glance. She was standing facing the wall, hands resting on the counter, fingers tapping on it nervously.

"Hey mom..." - I greeted trying to sound as normal as I could.

"What was that? Wasn't that a bit too close for just friends?" - she asked turning around immediately.

"Ehm, we fell asleep cuddling..." – I said thinking it wasn't such a big deal. It surely wasn't the first time she'd walk into my room to find us snuggled together.

"He's a boy sweetie, when did it become a regular thing to cuddle with your friends?" - she asked frowning even deeper.

"I'm aware that he's a boy, mom..." - I scoffed even though I probably shouldn't have. To be honest the first couple answers that came to my mind were 'and I like it', or even worse, 'yeah, he rubbed his dick on my thigh last night'; luckily, I was rational enough to not say that out loud, or her reaction would have been definitely worse of the half confused and half pissed expression she gave me.

She didn't say anything for a few minutes, choosing to just stare at me; the silence that filled the room become quite uncomfortable, the grim glare she was giving me was not helping.

"Is he that boy?" – She finally asked with a worried expression.

"Yeah, he is...we're dating but I suppose that you had already figured it out at this point..." - I admitted.
