*It was D day for Izuku and Mei after much time doing the calculations, figuring out the code in the dark, without a light to their name to look in front of them, later today, they will be creating the arc reactor and making an element lost to time come back to life. But before that, both of them had to do something else. For Mei, it was going to her therapist, which is what we see her doing now. Opening the door to her office and offered Sara a smile. With Sara smiling back.*

Sara: Hello Mei. How are you feeling today?

Mei: Fantastic! The baby I'm making with Izuku is almost done baking in the oven!

*Mei said with a bright smile, still having zero sense of what her words truly meant to other people, ergo Mei having no filter to speak through. Thankfully, Sara worked with Mei long enough to know what she meant by that, so she smiled and nodded at her, grabbing her pen and clipboard before staring at today's session.*

Sara: Right. That's something I wish we would talk about today

Mei: Oh. I can't.

*Mei said with a bright smile as she moved her legs around from up to down on her chair. Sara gave her a raised eyebrow, surprised, since never in their professional relationship had Mei ever kept anything from her. Quite the opposite, she tends to overshare. When Mei started having her periods, she shared that with Sara before even telling her parents. So to hear her tell Sara no? It made Sara freeze for a second before looking at me.*

Sara: You can't?

Mei: Uhu, Izuku says that we are not allowed to talk about this baby since bad people could be overhearing

*Mei said with a nod, with some pride in her tone, since she normally tells people everything, but she's managed to keep a secret this time, and she's been doing a good job at it. Enough so that Izuku is rewarding her with chocolate-covered coffee beans. Which is one of Mei's favorite snacks. It gives her such a rush of energy. Sara nodded, now understanding where Mei got confused by the wording. She continued to write on her notepad, seeing this as a win, since Mei was able to understand and agree to keep something a secret, which was progress.*

Sara: Oh. No. I wasn't referring to the baby. I want to talk about your relationship with Izuku Midoriya

Mei: Oh. Ok! What about?

* Mei asked, flipping on her emotions like a dime. One second, she was ready to keep the secret, but now she was back to normal, being her normal oversharing self for her therapist. Her legs kept swinging on the chair, it wouldn't be long before she got up and started walking around, since she couldn't stay still all that well, or at all, she needed to be doing something to calm her brain. Sara nodded as she went to the main goal of that question. Her session for this week was just to try and make Mei understand her feelings for the boy.*

Sara: What do you feel when you're with him?

Mei: Happy? He talks about babies just as much as me!

* Mei said with a very bright smile, as she thought of her equal in the lab, every day they talked it had to be about their babies, about what they were building, about how to make them better. It was glorious for Mei, to have somebody she could talk fully about and having him understand her enough to counter her arguments, it made Mei's cheeks start to turn a little red thinking of him, as Sara nodded and continued with her line of questions, knowing she was dragging a boulder up a huge cliff to make Mei understand her feelings, but she's not going to give up.*

Sara: That's good. And when he's not around?

Mei: Also happy? But less so since he's not there.

* Mei said honestly, since yeah when Izuku isn't around she can talk to people like Momo who understands what Mei is talking about, or Mina who's excited about what Mei is talking about, but it's not the same. She likes it so much more when Izuku is around, since even if she isn't talking to him, he's not afraid to interrupt her to correct her about a mistake, or challenge her in what she thinks is right, mechanically speaking, it made Mei feel a lot of emotions that she doesn't fully understand, but that's why Sara is Paid 300 bucks an hour for. To help Mei understand her emotions and how to properly act on them.*
