Fortune Favors the Bold

Home?

'' Are you sure.'' Toshinori asked Inko, Both were lying in bed.'' I think it might be best. He should start getting to know other people. He has had far too many bad experiences, for just us two to make right, And I think when David and Nezu and such came by, It helped him.'' Well, Cathleen will stay here a bit, So we can ask her if she wants to use the guest room, Just so we can have an extra constant in his life.'' Toshi added. He placed his hand on top of hers.'' It will all work out,'' 

The next day Toshinori called Cathleen over right away. Izuku had still been in his room. Which he did most days, They believed he had just slept in, Something he had all rights doing.'' Oh yeah, I won't mind that at All, Might even get Izuku to talk to me a little.'' Cathleen said as Toshinori smiled'' Let's see shall we.'' Toshinori walked toward his room, It was 9, and Izuku normally stayed in till 11, But as he stood at the door, and knocked softly, The door already softly swinging open.

They had left all doors open, So Izuku would not feel trapped, He could then open any door at all times. They saw him, Sitting on the floor, with one of the books Inko had got for him.'' Izuku?'' Toshinori asked softly. Yet he still startled Izuku. The boy looked up, worried.'' Oh sorry sir, I did not hear you, Do I need to do something?'' Izuku said, Using his one leg and his arm to prop himself up on his bed and place himself in his wheelchair.'' Not at all Kiddo. I just wanted to ask you something.'' Toshinori stepped into the room.

Thankfully with the fact, Izuku had been with them for a bit. Izuku had started calming down slightly. No longer in fear of Toshinori or Inko striking him whenever his room was a slight mess. Even now. Sir would have instantly used the belt, or worse on him, He had at least two books out on his bed, and his covers were a mess, Which was unacceptable before, 

Toshi crouched a couple of feet in front of the chair.'' You remember Cathleen right.'' Y-yes, Hello Ma'am I mean Cath, sorry.'' It's fine Izuku, Hey.'' Cathleen said with a very soft and kind smile.'' I was wondering, How would you like it if Cathleen stayed with us for a couple of months. Izuku didn't understand these questions. It was something new for him.

'' why ask me, sir?'' Because we care, You're still getting used to everything, and maybe you're a little scared of Cathleen, We want you to be happy and safe here, Not feel scared.'' Oh, I- I am not scared of Cathleen sir, S-She seems nice.'' Everyone Izuku had met seemed nice, He was still deadly afraid of them, But if sir wanted it, Izuku could not say no.

He was already feeling really useless, He didn't want to become more of a bother.'' That's nice to hear,'' Cathleen said as Toshi nodded.'' By the way Izuku, why are you reading here, Out in the living room you are able to ask for help.'' B-But sir always said kids were not allowed out there rooms until 11.'' What?'' Cathleen said, a slight frown on her face, One Izuku didn't see as his face was aimed at his lap.

This was the first time she heard of these stories in person.'' Izuku, you are allowed out of your room at any point and at any time. If you want to stay in bed till 12, that's fine, if you want to be in the living room at 5 in the morning, that's also fine.'' Oh, really.'' Izuku asked and Toshi nodded. He placed his large hand on Izuku's lap.'' This is also your home remember,'' Small tears slowly escaped his eyes.'' O-Okay,'' He was at a loss for words. Izuku had never seen anywhere as his home before, But this would truly be his home.

Later in the day, Izuku was at the living room table. Still learning, Thankfully he was a fast learner.'' The blue fox tip-toed over the cobblestone road, past all the trees, and out of the forest, right into a big city.'' Good Job Kiddo, You are almost reading as well as I can.'' Cathleen said with a smile. He was choppy and slow, But he had only been reading for a week again, And he was getting the hang of it faster and faster.
