Two months time skip

*It was a rare blue moon, izuku was back at home, he was getting dressed for his first day at UA. While inko was in the living room, she was sitting on the sofa, with a Camara in hand, waiting to see izuku off. And if she's so lucky, to maybe have a picture of him. The doorbell was rung, so inko knew it wasn't mitsuki*

Inko:c..coming

*Inko said as she got up and opened the door. She was confused when she saw a boy around izuku's age with purple hair in a workout outfit*

Inko:um. Hello, can I help you?

Shinsou:yeah. Is izuku ready? We're gonna head to UA together

*Shinsou asked with a small smile, inko looked at this boy shocked, he couldn't be...? Could he? Inko dared herself to ask*

Inko:I'm sorry. But are you...a..are you a friend of my son?

Shinsou: I guess you can call us friends. Yes. Nice to meet you, I'm hitoshi shinsou

*Shinsou said, he was feeling a little uncomfortable with the look inko was giving him. It was one of just straight up bewilderment. Inko shook her head, And gave shinsou a big but very nervous smile*

Inko:I..it's very nice to meet you two! H..how long have you two been friends?

Shinsou:well, we met at the entrance exam for UA. So just a few months.

*Shinsou said rubbing the back of his neck in thought. Inko was still a little out of it, but to be fair to her. Izuku doesn't share anything about his life with her, so she earned this*

Inko:o..oh how nice, well if you ever want to see my son, you can come on by. Our door is always open

Izuku: sorry I'm late. Needed to make sure I had everything

*Inko turned around to look at her son, but of course he was talking to shinsou, not the both of them. She looked at her son in his workout clothes, a new backpack filled with who knows what and that ever present fake smile that he never takes off. She couldn't help but feel a little emotional*

Izuku: let's go. It's a long jog to UA, got your uniform?

Shinsou:in my backpack. It was nice to meet you Mrs. Midoriya

*Shinsou said as he started to walk away. Izuku didn't even spare his mother a glance, when inko touched his shoulder, izuku shoved the hand away, making inko flinch and take a step back*

Inko:I...I just wanted to wish you luck, and....and take a picture. This is your first day after all. P...please...

Izuku:......

*Izuku dropped his backpack, moving it out of view, and looked at inko waiting. Inko flinched, stumbling a little, almost dropping her Camara. She took a breath to calm herself, and took the picture. She wishes she could say, she's happy with it. But she can't, not while izuku has that fake smile on his face. She was about to ask for another one, but she heard the door closing, she again missed her shot. She sighed sadly, and looked back at the picture*

With izuku

*He caught up with shinsou, as they started walking down the stairs. Shinsou spared him a glance*

Shinsou: I'm guessing there's bad blood with your mother and you?

Izuku: I'm a quirkless boy, wanting to be a hero. How do you think she reacted?

*Izuku said with a fake chuckle. Shinsou is still not completely used to izuku's never ending smile, and found that a little creepy*

Shinsou: ouch. Can't say I have that problem, my parents love me. Hell, they have quirks similar to mine, and want me to become a hero, to show the world that it's not the quirk that makes the villain.
