[44] Meet The Parents

Like it or not, your life is incredibly eventful. Take last night, for instance. All you'd wanted was to buy some groceries to make yourself a decent dinner, and you somehow ended up being confronted by the man who'd nearly killed you, and forced to seek refuge behind another man-who was equally intimidating in his own right.

Against all odds, you'd survived the encounter, but still. You were fucking tired, man. The Sports Festival had just barely come to an end. Was it really too much to ask that you be given a few days break?

Apparently so.

"Hello! I hope we didn't surprise you by stopping by too suddenly."

You blinked. Having woken up less than an hour ago, it went without saying that you were surprised to hear your doorbell ring, and even more surprised to find that there was a pretty blonde woman waiting outside your house, with her arguably less pretty son in tow.

Mitsuki smiled brightly. "I'm sorry for showing up without warning. Katsuki mentioned once that he'd been to your house before. I already knew you lived in the area from when we ran into each other at the grocery store, but I didn't realize the two of you had gotten so close. He's in a grumpy mood today, so I thought he might benefit from spending the day with a friend. I just wanted to invite you and your parents over for lunch. How does that sound?"

"We are not friends," Katsuki stubbornly denied. "She's just a classmate."

Hey, not cool. Don't lie to her. Call me your potential friend, at the very least.

"I know this is pretty last-minute, but we were thinking it'd be fun," Mitsuki continued, completely ignoring her son. "Are your parents available to come over? Masaru and I would love to meet them."

Katsuki elbowed his mother in the ribs. "Hey, crazy old hag, I already told you we're not friends, so stop pestering her into-"

"Shut it, you little bitch! You've been moping around ever since the Sports Festival ended, so I'm just trying to be a good parent and look out for you!"

"Huh?! Who are you calling a little bitch?"

"You, obviously!"

Mitsuki pinched his cheek to get him to shut up (which of course didn't even work), then she turned back toward you, her beaming expression a stark contrast to how she'd been biting Katsuki's head off just moments ago.

"Anyways, what do you say?" she asked, visibly hopeful. "I realize this is a lot to ask, but I can tell that Katsuki really needs a friend right now. He's got a big mouth, but deep down, he's a good kid. Spending time with you would probably help lift his spirits."

Katsuki's face turned violently red. He clearly seemed to despise the idea of being vulnerable in any shape or form, but his love points weren't dropping, so at least he wasn't upset with you.

Anyways, there was a bigger problem right now.

Namely, the fact that your parents didn't actually exist.

"Th-They're at work right now," you nervously replied. "U.A. gave us two days off from school, but my parents aren't going to be around until later."

Mitsuki nodded in understanding. "Right. That makes sense. I'm lucky enough to be able to work from home most days, and Masaru is usually able to do the same. I should have been more considerate of other people's circumstances. I'm sorry about that. Well, how about this? If you're willing, you can come over now and spend some time with Katsuki at our place, until your parents get off work. And then they can join us for dinner later. Would that be okay?"
