Meet Our New Pup
“Uhm, what's the point in having a dinning room table if you never use it?” Denki asked, watching as the group all ate from the kitchen counters, either standing leant against it or sitting on top of it.
“This feels so much better, though,” Killua replied.
Denki shrugged and nodded. “I get that,” he replied.
Killua smiled as he stuffed another bite of pancakes in his mouth, covered in syrup, peanut butter, honey and drizzled with chocolate sauce. It looked nauseating, but he was enjoying it, so that's all that mattered.
“Oh, you're all here, that's good,” Inko spoke as she walked into the kitchen with a relieved, yet nervous smile.
“Is something the matter, Aunt Inko?” Gon asked, left hand holding a mug of coffee, his right placed on Killua's thigh, trying not to cringe every time Killua fed him a bite of his overly sweet breakfast.
“I'm trying, so, so, so hard not to shudder myself half to death just watching you,” Dabi commented, glaring at the plated pancakes in Killua's lap, as if it had personally offended him.
Killua frowned. “Why?”
Dabi stared incredulously. “Are you serious? That's like a toothache and stomach-ache just begging to happen.” He pointed at the plate.
“I mean, maybe? It's never happened to me before, and it's really not that sweet, try it!” Killua enthusiastically held out his fork with a bite, smiling so brightly and happily, it was hard to say no.
Dabi visibly cringed. “...no, thank you, I don't really like sweets,”
Killua blinked, aghast. “Don't like swee-? Oh no, this won't do!”
Dabi sighed. “It's fine, more for you, right?”
Killua hesitated. “I guess,”
Dabi bit his lower lip at the look of utter dejection on the silver haired male's face, taking a deep breath as he leant forward, taking the bite into his mouth before Killua could pull it away.
The peanut butter helped cancel out a bit of the sweetness, but Dabi still felt like he might keel over from it. The ecstatic look on Killua's face was worth it, though, he supposed. Gon saved him by handing the remnants of his coffee to him, the bitter drink luckily just enough to wash away the sweetness.
“Is there something important you want to tell us?” Ochaco asked softly, tone curious as she tilted her head a little to the right whilst she looked at Inko.
Inko nodded. “There is. Well, this might come as a surprise to some of you, but it's something I've been considering for a while now,” she explained.
Killua frowned in concern. “What is it, is everything okay?”
“Everything's fine! It's just that I, I have made the decision to move back to Whale Island,” Inko announced.
Killua dropped his fork in surprise, mouth agape.
“Mom!? Why?!” Izuku asked urgently.
“Aren't you happy here, Aunt Inko?” Gon questioned.
Inko shook her head with a smile. “I am happy here, it's something I've wanted to do for years now, but I couldn't do it since I had to look after Izuku. But now that you're here, Gon, Killua, and Izuku doesn't need me to watch over him constantly, I can finally go back to my hometown,”
“But mom,” Izuku trailed off, eyes lowered to the ground as he frowned sadly.
“It's not that I don't want to be a part of any of your lives anymore, it's just that I crave Whale Island's calm serenity, no more villain attacks or busy city streets. I talked to Mito about it too, and she offered me Gon's old room, I can go stay with her,” Inko explained.
It was quiet for a while as they all considered her words.
“Is this what you really want?” Izuku asked softly.
Inko nodded. “It is,”
Izuku breathed in deeply. “Okay.” He nodded as he looked up. “As long as it's what you want, mom,”
