XII: Back to Reality

Third POV

The trip back home was eerily quiet.

Izuku and Katsuki hadn't spoken since the meeting and acted like total strangers.

For those on Izuku's side of things, they knew most of this silence came from Izuku and Katsuki was just trying to follow the omega's lead.

Even still.

It was numbing to watch the two of them behave like that.

Izuku's gaze remain stuck on the window, keeping his back to Katsuki as the blanket draped lazily on his body.

He was just trying to get some shut eye before they landed and he went to go retrieve his baby boy from his mother.

He fidgeted with one of the accessory rings on his finger, feeling multiple gazes flicker between him and his ex, but only one remained on him.

Katsuki.

He didn't want to turn around.

Then he'd be too tempted to maintain that eye contact and maybe even convince Katsuki to sit next to him or maybe the opposite.

Izuku didn't want that.

He was over it.

In fact, when they landed Izuku was the first off as he scurried to the car and merely ducked in the passenger seat.

Uraraka and Iida gave each other worried glances, while Todoroki took occasional glances at Bakugo who appeared to be taking Izuku's sudden cold reception well.

Either way, it was far too awkward.

However, tomorrow would be another day.

Izuku kept his eyes straight ahead.

Looking into Haru's playroom where the little boy dressed in causal, all black attire roamed around the room creating all sorts of messes.

But, Izuku didn't care.

He loved to see Haru happy.

From the day he was born, the little boy always had that splitting resemblance to Katsuki.

Sure he might've inherited Izuku's hair color, but that was just about it.

Occasionally, the idea would cross Izuku's mind. Is the reason he still lingered onto Katsuki was because of Haru and his looks.

Even right now, the idea popped into his mind.

Though, thankfully he was pulled away from it when he heard Haru's little broken sentences.

"Mama-! Auntie 'Raka-!" As he pointed enthusiastically to the doorway, behind Izuku as the green-haired omega turned over to see Uraraka climbing up the steps with a plain white bag in her hand.

"Hey hey, you little cutie!" Uraraka gushed, deopping the bag by the front and rushing to go give her 'nephew' a hug, "Have we been behaving for mommy?"
