Mansion's Flower (COMPLETE)

Chapter 24: (Be there for you)

The next day, the old man arranged a meeting with Izuku's parents at the mansion. The atmosphere was tense, filled with unspoken emotions as they gathered in the dining room.

Bakugo stood nearby, anxiety bubbling within him as he waited for the conversation to unfold.

Izuku's mother, Inko, looked worried, glancing at her husband, Toshinori, who maintained a calm demeanor.

(The old man broke the silence, his voice steady yet gentle): "Thank you both for coming. We need to discuss the revelation regarding Kazui."

(Inko nodded, her expression conflicted.): "We've kept it a secret for Izuku's sake. She was afraid of how Bakugo would react, and we thought it best to let her handle it in her own way."

(Toshinori added): "We wanted to protect her. It was a difficult time, and we thought it might be easier for her to manage alone."

(The old man interjected): "But Kazui deserves to know his father, and Bakugo deserves the chance to be a part of his life. He's ready to take on that responsibility, and we believe Izuku should reconsider her stance."

(Inko sighed, looking down at her hands): "I understand that, but Izuku is still healing from everything that happened. She's worried about opening old wounds and how Bakugo will handle it."

"I can't speak for Bakugo," (Toshinori said, his voice firm yet compassionate) "but I believe that he's matured. He's ready to step up and be the father Kazui needs."

(Bakugo, who had been listening closely, felt a rush of determination. He took a deep breath, stepping forward): "I want to talk to Izuku. I need to explain things to her."

(Inko glanced at Toshinori, who nodded, encouraging her to allow Bakugo to speak with Izuku):"Let's arrange a time for you to meet her privately."

(Bakugo felt a surge of hope at that.) "Thank you. I just want her to know that I'm here for both of them."

Later that day, Bakugo stood outside the garden, pacing as he waited for Izuku to arrive. His heart raced with anticipation and anxiety. Finally, he saw her approaching, looking hesitant and guarded.

"Bakugo," (Izuku said softly, her eyes flickering with uncertainty.)

"Hey," (he replied, trying to keep his voice steady) "Can we talk?"

(She nodded, her posture tense as she followed him to a more secluded area of the garden): "What do you want to say?"

"I just... I need you to know that I didn't know about Kazui until recently," (Bakugo started, his gaze fixed on the ground): "I didn't even know you were pregnant. If I had known... I would've wanted to be there for you."

(Izuku looked down, her voice barely above a whisper.): "I was scared, Bakugo. I didn't know how you would react. I thought you'd hate me for keeping it a secret."

"Yeah, I was mad," (he admitted, frustration creeping back into his tone.): "But now? I just want to be a part of Kazui's life. He's my son, and I want to make things right."
