Rewriting Fate

Frog Girl's Fears

 The day was relatively quiet for the most part in 1-A. Thanks to Izuku's Work Study with Nighteye, he had to leave the house today with Tsu, Mina and Kinoko being the ones to watch Eri and Tenko. For the most part, the two weren't causing any notable trouble with Eri watching TV and petting Tuxxy on her lap while Tenko was laying on a play mat with Kinoko petting Monchan. "He's such a cute little guy. It's funny how overly excited he gets petting Monchan." Kinoko stated as Tenko was seen trying desperately to rub the corgi pup's body.

"Hey Kinoko, you mind helping me make something for lunch?" Mina asked from the kitchen for the mushroom girl to stand up.

"On it. Tsu, you mind watching them while I do this?"

"It doesn't seem like a problem." Tsu changed where she was sitting to sit on the play mat with Tenko in the eye view of Eri and Tuxxy. "How are you doing Tenko? You're so adorable." The small child looked up at one of his mothers to smile. 'Seems he's really happy.' She thought this before seeing Tenko's hand come up at her face. As she saw this, an image of Shigaraki appeared in front of her with his hand stretched out preparing to kill her.

"Tsu?" Her mind went into panic as she saw this knowing what his quirk can do.

"Tsu?" Her whole body started to shake with her breathing being short and heavy before feeling someone grab her shoulders.

"Tsuyu!" Tsu came out of her mental panic to see both Mina and Kinoko beside her.

"Y-yes?"

"Are you ok? You were spacing out really badly and starting to scare Tenko, shroom." Looking at the small child, Tsu saw Tenko looking like he was going to cry before passing him to Mina.

"I-I'm fine. I think I'm just a little out of it. Maybe a warm bath will help calm my mind." The frog girl got up and began walking towards her room with a bit of a quickened pace to confuse everyone.

"I wonder what that was about?" Mina asked with Tenko trying to understand too, to give a bit of a turn of his head as if he was trying to imitate his two mothers.

Few minutes later

After what happened, Tsu had taken the time to calm her nerves by relaxing in a warm bath. She looked up at the ceiling while thinking of what had happened before with Tenko and what she saw. 'Am...am I not able to see the difference between Tenko and Shigaraki?' She didn't want to admit it, but deep down Tsu had her own struggles with Izuku's decision to take Tenko in. She loved and supported her boyfriend and helped how she could, but something inside her mind made that even more difficult. She raised her hand out of the water to place it in front of her face in a similar way Tenko tried to reach for her. The image of Shigaraki in her mind was unfortunately still present from the USJ with Tsu somewhat ashamed this was happening.

"Tenko isn't Shigaraki...not anymore at least. So why can't I get over this?"

A knock on the door came for Tsu to look over. "Tsu. It's Mina and Tenko. Can we come in?"

"Sure." The door opened to Mina holding a towel on her body and Tenko wrapped like a baby burrito in one as well.

"Sorry to barge in, but Tenko kinda spit up on me and I needed to clean him and me up a bit."

"Not a problem." Mina began adjusting the water for Tenko so he would feel comfortable while washing him off with Tsu looking over and seeing her friend and the child enjoy their bonding. "Hey... Mina? Do you ever...fear Tenko would be what he was again?"

"A little. But c'mon. Look at this face and tell me that he's not the most adorable thing in the world." The pink skinned girl raised Tenko up for Tsu to see and notice he was a giggling, babbling mess at the moment. Placing him back on her lap, Mina began sudsing the infant up a little. "So I'm guessing that little panic attack was the cause of that whole thought?"
