The Insomniac's Journal (mha fanfic)

Motherly Love

Okay so he has all the parents coming in by the alphabetical order of their last names and he's already checked that the student files are in that order about 4 times. So obviously it would just be a waste of time to check again.

He has about 3 minutes left and he's got Aoyama's file open, his grades on the web are open in a window as are the next three students, and the tabs are also in order.

Two minutes. No matter how many times he goes through these conferences, his anxiety never settles. 

Calm down, kid.

He sighs as he rummages through his drawer for the nth time today, this time not looking for something for a student, more for himself.

It's 7:28 and he's had six coffees in the past 8 hours which- even he knows- isn't healthy. He also had 6 or maybe 8 shots of vodka. He doesn't quite remember but he knows he can't have any of that right now.

So instead, he pulls out a peppermint candy and places it in his mouth. Look, it works okay. That's all that fucking matters. Candy somehow calms him down. No, he's not a 3-year-old with a tantrum issue. It just works.

A soft knock is heard at the door and he takes a deep breath in, letting it out slowly. "Come in."

He's gone through Aoyama, Ashido, and Asui. He let out a sigh of relief, he hadn't missed anything and all was going smoothly for now. Next, he had-

A knock came from the door.

-Bakugo. The Bakugo family.

"Come in."

Mitsuki walked in with Katsuki and Masaru right behind her. They made their way into the seats in front of him.

"Shota!" Mitsuki greeted him with open friendliness. "How are you."

That's all it takes for Shota's composure to crack. Not fully crumble but dissolve slightly. His previously tense shoulders droop, the folder drops from his hands to his desk, and a hand comes up to rub at his face and eyes.

"I'll-" He takes a deep breath and pieces himself back together as quickly as he had fallen apart. "I'll be fine. Now, as for young Bakugo."

He cringes internally as he knows how much he sounds like All Might.

"Katsuki." The boy himself corrects as Shota takes another deep breath.

"As for his grades, they are astounding. In fact, he's in the top 5 students so I admire his hard work. Throughout the time at the dorms, he's been responsible and is asleep before 9- which is rather nerdy if you ask me."

He was interrupted by a rather loud, "Hey." And Shota just chuckled as Mitsuki whacked the back of Katsuki's head. Not hard enough to cause any damage but get her point across.

"Don't interrupt him, brat! He's being so kind and complimenting you yet you're screaming for no damn fucking reason." She yelled

"Fu-" Bakugou began but stopped when he heard Aizawa snicker again, hiding a soft smile behind a folder.

"So, as I was saying," Shota started once everyone had quietened. "He's responsible but I am worried for him socially. That says a lot coming from me."

"We know." Katsuki rolled his eyes.

Aizawa blinked as Mitsuki whacked him again.

"Don't fucking touch me you hag!"

Yep. That's an interesting family.
