Midoriya skipped down the stairs and hurried to the kitchen, he saw his mom at the stove surrounded by the sweet smell of food. "Hi mom, is dinner nearly done?"

He jumped up and down in excitement, Inko smiled over her shoulder whilst cooking, "Yes yes, nearly done. Just 5 minutes okay Izu?"

"Okay! I'll set the table!"

He ran over to the counter and opened a drawer grabbing cutlery setting 3 places on the table, he took a stool from the corner of the room to reach the higher shelves and grabbed three plates setting them at the three chairs.

He sat down and waited as a steaming hot meal was placed on his plate, he watched his mom place food at each seat before sitting next to him.

Inko sighed smiling, "Now we just wait for Dad."

Izuku, "Okay!"

-5 minutes later-

Izuku's smile began to waver as his legs swang beneath the table.

-10 minutes later-

Izuku rested his head on his hand on the table.

-30 minutes later-

Izuku pocked and prodded the now less appealing cold meal.

-1 hour later-

Izuku sighed pushing away the plate, "I'm not hungry anymore."

Inko sighed irritably looking away, "Okay..."

Izuku slowly walked upstairs, halfway up he heard the door click open. He stopped looking back staying out of sight.

Toshinori walked in with a hand to his head leaning on the wall, he looked up seeing his wife as guilt quickly washed over him. "Inko I-"

"You're late."

"I know I know, I just...I got held up at work and I got 'tired' and had to stop to rest then I forgot about dinner today and something was happening to-"

"Izuku went to bed."

"..."

"He didn't want to eat."

"..."

"He set a place for you. We waited for an hour. Enjoy your dinner, alone. It's cold."

Toshinori looked down sadly as Inko pushed her chair away from the table and scraped her's and Izuku's dinners in the bin and walked up the stairs to put Izuku to bed.

Izuku was sat on the stairs crying as Inko picked him up and put him to bed, "It's okay Izuku...Why are so upset?"

"You and Dad...you were arguing again. Weren't you?"

"No, I just told your Dad off for missing dinner, just like I told you off last week for not cleaning up your room."

"...Okay."

Toshinori always came home late, Inko knew he was flying around town as the amazing Allmight but Izuku just thought he was getting held up at his office job. Inko would get more and more stressed about absences. She didn't want Izuku to grow up with an absent father.

Toshinori didn't want that for him either.

-5 years later-

The same thing happened every day, he missed three birthdays, all his school events, tricks and talents he learned and he missed the point where his son stopped knowing who he was.

Izuku came downstairs, he was 13 now, he got bullied in school and his father was never there. He found out his mother was secretly on anti-depressants and he decided to recoil from socialisation. He mainly stayed in his room and played loud music revising or drawing.
