Hours later

*We see Inko walking as fast as humanly possible to the hospital. Her boss was a huge jerk who didn't let anyone have their phone out while they worked. So, inko didn't get the voicemail message until her shift was over. But when did she get that message? She all but had a heart attack. She made it to the door. And made a straight line to the receptionist*

Inko: Hello, I got a call that my son is here. Izuku midoriya!

Receptionist: ok, one moment, please

*The receptionist said that as she clicked on the keyboards, as slow as humanly possible, each click felt as if it was a minute long. In reality, she was writing at a normal pace. It was all just inko's nervous jidders making her feel, like she wasn't fast enough*

Receptionist: Here we are. Ah yes, it says here he was brought in for dehydration, skin burn, and a gut injury. He's currently resting on room B-3

Inko: Thank you.

*Inko said and walked as fast as she could to the room. She didn't even take the elevator. She took the stairs since they were taking too long. She made it to the room and was about to open the door when she froze. Her hand was on the doorknob, and she just froze. Panic started to grow inside of her, thinking of what she'll say, what he would say if anything at all. She pulled her hand back a bit and held it in her chest, taking a few steps back, until her back hit the wall. She was having an internal panic attack*

Inko:....

Mitsuki: Hey, you ok?

*Mitsuki asked gently, next to inko. She's been there this whole time. She was even the one who drove inko to the hospital, but inko was so out of it with fear that she could barely register her into her mind. The only thing that brought her back to reality was when she felt mitsuki's hand on her shoulder*

Mitsuki: Hey. Talk to me.

Inko: I'm.. I'm scared. I'm scared of what I'll see. I'm scared of what he'll say to me for taking so long. I'm...I'm so scared

*Inko said softly, mitsuki hugged inko's shoulder, and just stayed like this till inko felt good enough to go inside the room. So, with a confident breath, she walked to the door and opened it. Inside, she saw a smiling izuku, talking with a pink hair girl and the principal of his school nezu. Nezu was the only one to look at the two mothers and smile at them*

Nezu: Ah. Hello inko midoriya, and mitsuki bakugo. So nice to see you as well. I must say, it took you longer to get here than I first thought

Inko: I....yes. my boss doesn't allow phones in the workplace, so I didn't get the message until just now. What happened?

*Inko asked, looking at nezu. Knowing better than to expect izuku to respond, or even spare her a glance. Which he didn't. He just kept talking with Mei, writing on the journal, and both of them were lost in their own world of invention*

Nezu: Ah. Nothing, really. Your son just showed that he had the heart of a hero. I'll explain more when I return. I'm gonna grab me a cup of coffee

Mei: coffee?

*Mei said with her eyes bright as a star, it made izuku chuckle looking at her. Nezu nodded and smiled at her as he started walking away with Mei following him*

Nezu: I suppose I have to buy 2 cups of coffee

Izuku: Make sure to hold her hand the whole way. Or else she'll wander off

*Izuku said loudly as they left. Before the door closed, izuku saw nezu hold Mei's hand, which brought him a bit of reassurance. Before he looked at his mother and mitsuki. Having that permanent fake smile on his face*
