The Line Between Light And Dark

Ch 26. Planning A Promise

Mitsuki Bakugou, that was the woman's name and he had to say they were the most terrifying person to ever exist. Although he had a sinking feeling that Katsuki was going to be just as bad when they grew up, he had just endured four hours of interrogation and listing off what he would be required to do in order to be allowed to continue dating.

"Um, Ms. Bakugou...I understand your concerns, but I can't help what I feel for your son and I know I used to be a Villain and hurt so many people." Izuku said tears building up." However, that isn't who I am anymore, please don't hate me just for my past when I am trying to make a better future...I already have most Pro Heroes hating me....I don't need to have the mother of my boyfriend forcing me to lose the person I love the most."

He saw the woman's red eyes flash with anger, before they paused. Frowning slightly and he wanted so badly to just let the ground swallow him whole, this woman had no right being as terrifying as she was.

"He's my only son and my baby, despite his attitude sometimes and I won't let him enter a relationship that could be bad for him." Mitsuki stated firmly, before sighing." Can you promise me, that you will never be directly involved in anything bad that happens to him?"

How could he promise something like that, didn't she know that as Heroes in training things happened out of his or Katsuki's control all the time? Then again she did say directly involved, which means she likely took accidents in account when asking him to make that promise.

"I promise, I will protect your son with my life...even if it costs me my own." Izuku swore and Mitsuki stared for a long moment, before nodding.

"Ok, I can accept that...doesn't mean I am happy about it." Mitsuki said and Izuku could understand that, despite having been de-aged he was technically still two hundred years old and this was an unprecedented situation.

The Izuku remembered something he had been meaning to ask Katsuki's mom if he ever met her....

"Um, would be alright if I gave Kacchan a...Promise Ring?" Izuku asked softly, ducking his head in mild embarrassment." He's my whole life and I love him so much, I want to be with him as long as I am physically able to...it's no engagement, but still...I want to promise to be there for him for the rest of his life, even if we end up breaking up sometime."

Izuku just sat there, his little brother having gone on a rant about their favourite pre-Quirk Hero for nearly four hours, which probably mean eight hours in the waking world.

"Yoichi, for the love of fucking god, shut up!" Izuku snapped, having had just about enough of their obsession." You've been talking about the same thing for literally four void hours!"

Yoichi pouted, their green eyes growing wide with sadness and Izuku felt a pang of guilt, he knew they were just trying to spend time with him. Try to make up for the two centuries they spent being enemies, but he just wasn't interested in their pre-Quirk comics. It was fine for the first half an hour, but afterwards it just became less fun.

"Sorry, Izuku." Yoichi muttered and Izuku sighed.

"It's not that I don't enjoy your enthusiasm or talking to you, it's just that you happened to choose a topic I am completely uninterested in." Izuku explained with a shrug." Perhaps we could pick something we both want to talk about, that way it will be more pleasant for both of us."

Izuku watched as Yoichi's face went contemplative, before they perked up.

"What about the ring you are gonna be getting your boyfriend?" Yoichi asked teasingly, their green eyes dancing with mischief and Izuku blushed." Do you have one in mind, if so...what is it?"
