Chapter Twenty-eight: Mitsuki

The next day...

          You stand in front of Katsuki's house feeling the dread overtake you. You shake your head as you take a step back. You and Katsuki had been out exploring the town when Katsuki's mom called saying they were home.

"Nope, can't do it."

You flip around running into Katsuki's chest and bouncing off. You huff out scrunching your face as he blocks your escape route. He snickers softly as he leans into your face.

"I can help you if you want."

Your face catches fire as images of Katsuki carrying you into the house, flash through your mind. You whine softly and cross your arms.

"Why do I have to do this?"

"Well, it would be polite of you to thank them for letting you stay here."

"If I recall you forced me to come."

"And I can do it again. So stop being a brat and get your ass through that door."

You shut your mouth stepping away from Katsuki as he snickers at you. You turn around putting your hand on the doorknob and turning it slowly. You take a sharp breath before pushing the door open and stepping through. The scent of food hits you as you walk inside. You take your shoes off before plastering yourself to the wall. You felt like you were going to have a panic attack as you hear shouting coming from the kitchen.

"Is that you Katsuki!"

"Yeah."

Oh is that where he gets it from?  You stuff down the urge to laugh as Katsuki slinks into the kitchen. You slowly peel yourself off the wall poking your head into the kitchen. Katsuki was talking with his mother. She was beautiful, with the same blond hair and red eyes as Katsuki. She looks over at you blankly before her face lights up.

"Hello l/n, I'm so happy we could catch you before you went back to school."

You mutter softly stepping out from behind the doorway, bowing to her.

"It's nice to meet you Mrs. Bakugou."

"Oh call me Mitsuki."

You nod quickly as you struggle to maintain eye contact. You were beyond terrified they would hate you, or you would say something disrespectful. You stiffen as she walks over to you, smiling kindly.

"Oh, you are so beautiful l/n."

Your face catches fire as you stutter softly.

"Y-Y/n, uh I mean you can just call me y/n..."

She smiles before turning back to Katsuki and shouting.

"What is your problem, not introducing your guest to us!" 

"Oh shut it, you old lady!"

Well, I guess I was worried for nothing... You stand there silently for a moment before you bust up laughing. Both Katsuki and Mitsuki whip their heads at you giving you a curious look.

"I'm, I'm sorry."

Mitsuki giggles softly before waving you to join her. Katsuki was glaring at you from his corner vision as he leans against the island. You take a deep breath before slowly walking over to Mitsuki. She looks over at you giving a soft kind smile. Her attitude mirrored Katsuki's more than you would have imagined. You flash her a nervous smile as she picks up the pot from the sink.

"So l/n, how do you like going to U-A."

"Um, well it's pretty stressful if I'm honest. It was nothing like I was expecting."

"So what did you have in mind?"

Oh just a prison school for miscreants like myself...  

"Well, I didn't put much thought into it. This school just seemed like the better option so I ran with it."

Mitsuki giggles softly as she hands you a spoon and points to the pot on the stove.

"Could you stir that for me?"

You nod and walk over slowly stirring the broth.

"Um, Mitsuki, thank you for letting me stay in your house."

"Oh, of course, I'm so happy Katsuki met a sweet girl."

You stir the broth more aggressively as you try not to vomit with anxiety. Katsuki scoffs before speaking up.

"Get to know her, she's far from sweet."

You snap your head at Katsuki, narrowing your eyes. You knew full well he was baiting you, and you were not going to fall for it. Mitsuki smiles kindly as she walks up to you.

"How did you meet my son?"

You chuckle softly rubbing the back of your head.

"Got stuck with him, Sensei assigned us to work together because we were always fighting."

"No, you were always starting fights with me."

"And you were always being a tremendous asshole."

"Says the one always pissing me off."

"All you had to do was walk away, but that damn ego of yours got in the way."

"Katsuki!"

He glares at Mitsuki as she snaps at him. However, he did shut up, which you found extremely amusing. We glare at each other as Mitsuki takes the pot off the stove. Katsuki flashes a dangerous smile, daring you to try something. You take a deep breath and look away from him, helping Mitsuki set the table.

"Katsuki go get your father."

Katsuki quietly slinks out of the kitchen, disappearing around the corner. Mitsuki finishes plating up the food as she speaks.

"Thank you for giving him a chance. He's a stubborn child, and his pride does get in the way. However he is a good kid, and I'm happy he found someone who can keep him in check."

"I don't do a very job."

Mitsuki gives you a gentle smile and waves you to sit down.

"He's tamer than he used to be. Not for a second do I think you had nothing to do with that."

You rub the back of your head as you take a seat. Totally avoiding eye contact with Mistuki as she sits beside you. It was horrifying how much she seemed to think of you. You were no one special, just a troublemaker who fell for her son.

"I'm, not special Mrs. Bakugou. I'm just an average person who's failed at life one too many times. I'd rather you not think of me as something I'm not."

You mutter your words feeling the anxiety build up in your chest. Mitsuki blinks at you curiously before speaking softly.

"Of course, you're no one special, to everyone. Yet that little girl you look down on is the one my son has accepted. So why does it matter what you mean to anyone else but him? Be proud to be who you are, the right ones will stick beside you."

You look up at Mitsuki who's smiling at you. You smile back shyly and nod before Katsuki and his father join you guys.

***I know this is simply a story. However, I truly do hope my words reach those who need them. You are amazing the way you are, and as Mitsuki said, be proud of that XD.***
