"A-All Might?!" Izuku yelled. Outraged that his mentor would be sneaking around with his own mother!

Mina quickly took Eri to Izuku's room so she wouldn't get triggered by any yelling.

All Might nervously put his hands up "Y-Young Midoriya, I promise we weren't doing anything like tha-"

"YOU'RE IN MY MOTHER'S CLOSET!!!" Izuku kept yelling.

Inko grabbed her son's shoulder "Sweetie, please! I asked him to come over."

Izuku snapped his head toward her "What?!"

Inko covered his mouth "Stop Yelling! Think of Eri!"

In a flash, Izuku calmed down almost instantly and looked for Eri and Mina only to see that they weren't behind Inko. Once it was quiet enough though he could hear their voices slightly from the room over, Izuku's room. 'Thanks, Mina...' he sighed.

Izuku then looked between the two "So... What is this? What's going on?"

Inko looked to All Might for an answer. He simply nodded in an 'it's time' kind of way.

She took a moment to breathe deeply "... Okay... Let's all talk in the living room"

While they all went and cooled off in the living room, Mina was holding Eri very close while Eri pulled at her shirt and tried to fight off tears.

Mina had been proud with how brave Eri had been lately but family drama is a sensitive subject no matter who you are. And Eri had not taken it well.

She wimpered as her tears quickly soaked into Mina's shirt. Mina wished she could do something for her but it was just a matter of time. She simply kept stroking her daughters hair while she plotted on how to punish Izuku for scaring their daughter.

Meanwhile, Izuku sat across from his mom and All Might. He was still quite taken aback at the weight she'd lost lately. Sure, she wasn't skinny but she was clearly doing something.

"Midoriya..." All Might started. "I think... I should tell you my side of this story first."

Izuku looked up at him, his mentor, his teacher, his hero, who looked to now be his mom's boyfriend.

"You see... We agreed to keep in touch after the whole, staying two nights back here, thing. Mainly we talked about you and your little family." All Might sighed "And... Then I asked her to meet with me so we could discuss you. When we met on our own, we found we had more in common than we initially realized. We both were often far too busy with work to socialize much, we both worked hard at trying to help you grow and... We both were incredibly lonely."

Izuku gasped lightly 'oh crud...'

Inko sighed "Izuku... I know this is odd but please hear me out. I haven't loved anyone in at least a decade. Your father... He just left us so suddenly and" Inko started choking up "... I had no one but you... And once you left... I..." Tears slid down her face while All Might pat and rubbed her back. "I felt so alone." She sobbed out.

Izuku felt awful, his reaction earlier had probably been exactly what she feared. Meanwhile he was happily in a relationship of his own. Yet for the longest time... His mom suffered silently for his sake. "M-Mom... I'm sorry."

Inko sniffled and wiped a few tears as she went over to her son and tried to force a smile "I never wanted to hurt you. Ever. I just... I just want to be happy... Kinda like you and Mina..."
