Some Dreams Don't Come True

Chapter Ten

🧡BAKUGO POV🧡

My chest felt heavy and like my heart could sink into my stomach at any moment when I locked eyes with him. I wasn't sure what I was expecting, it's my father, not a stranger and not someone I'm estranged from. Up until the day I disappeared he was a loving and nurturing father... why would he reject me now...

I watched as a smile spread across his face and tears brimmed along his eyes. He covered his mouth In disbelief. "My boy."

I swallowed holding back how badly I felt like crying. I stiffened up without meaning to as he hugged me suddenly. "My god, you are alive!"

I cursed softly before hugging him back, tears had already overflowed and spilled over my cheeks and I buried my head into his chest.

"You good look, healthier than I expected when I got the call from Midoriya." He said raising up, tears had streamed down his face as well making me feel better about crying myself. "You're one tough cookie, Katsuki."

One question burned in the back of my throat and I couldn't keep it to myself anymore, "Where's mom?"

His face dropped a little before he smiled. It was the smile he always had before he had bad news. "Let's go sit down."

My heart sank a bit, but I followed him and Deku into the living room. I sat across from him in a recliner, and waited. I felt Dekus hand lightly grip my shoulder, which helped calm my nerves a little.

"Mom... she uh... She didn't want to come." He said looking nervous, and fidgeting with his hands a bit.

My heart sank and I couldn't find any words. My mom who hasn't seen me in years. Who thought I was dead like many others, didn't want to see me.

"What? Why?!" Deku's voice rang from beside me, his grip on my shoulder lightly squeezing me.

"She spoke to some of the doctors and she didn't want to see him... like that. But! You do look so much better than I imagined from what we were told! Midoriya!" My father stood up and grabbed Deku's hand. "Thank you so much for taking good care of my boy! I know you two were close, I can't thank you enough! Mitsuki surely will want to come soon!"

"No." I said, pain still circling around my chest, "I don't want her to."

"Katsuki... Your mother couldn't bare the heart ache of seeing you like she thought..."

"And it hurts more to see me like that, than me being DEAD?!" I let out a shaky breath, "I was gone for so long, I didn't get to see anyone I cared about! My friends still came to see me! Deku fucking took care of me for weeks with no phone calls from either of you! I thought you would at least call!"

"I wanted to... your mother doesn't know I even came to Japan. She thinks I'm on a business trip to California in the US..." he explained, but it didn't make my chest hurt any less.

"Thank you... for at least caring about me..." I said softly, refusing to cry over her.

"I will always care about you! You're my son! I never stopped loving or caring about you! Listen..." he sighed and kneeled in front of the chair at my knees. "I'm going back soon, but I'm going to bring your mom here... think about it for me... your birthday is coming up soon, and I would like to spend a day around then together... but that is up to you."

"I have plans... on the day of... but I will think about it. I'd like to see you again at least..." I said, looking away.

"All I hope for is for you to give it some thought. I will be in touch though!"

He didn't stay long, but he seemed to be in good spirits... and happy about everything with me in general. After he left I felt a little numb... I stood at the kitchen island in a daze.

"Don't think about it to much." I heard Deku say, his arms slowly wrapping around my waist.

His voice grounded me, I felt myself relaxing against him. "Your mom has always been a little selfish... I'm sure she's happy you are alive, but she's only thinking about her feelings in this..."

I turned to lay my head against his chest, my ear pressed close to his heart so I could heart his heartbeat. "I'll be fine." I said.

"I'm sure you will... but it's okay to be upset about this."

I sighed, "I'm going to finish cooking now."

Deku kissed the top of my head before releasing his arms from around me. I went back to cooking, I just wish she thought about someone other than herself.
