HES GONE.

Help Me...

*Inko's POV~

"He's had these illusions for so long, ever since his 2nd birthday I've been able to catch him talking to himself or even leaving the house and having reports of him hours later saying that they found him on the the mountain near Shizuoka, shouting someone's name, along the lines of Aizawa Sensei, He's sixteen now and this still occurs, I- I just don't know what to do anymore..."

*Just then Midoriya bursts through the door proving Inko's point*

"Mum! I made a new friend today, look his name is Todoroki!" The green haired boy plays Jazz hands to nothing but air before asking, "What'd you think mum?!?"                                                                               "He's got two quirks instead of one!"

I'm unable to hold in my tears. Seeing my baby having such horrible delusions hurts too much, I break down, unable to hold back. I look up at my son's new therapists and between sobs I plead for them to help my son, "Please, I'll do anything for him to be normal! My heart can't take it, he doesn't feel like my son anymore, there HAS to be something you can do to help him!!"

I can hear my voice crack and break as every begging word comes out of my mouth, never in my life have I felt so desperate for help. I'm desperate for my son to be normal...

Izuku tilts his head slightly towards the two men in front of me before squealing excitedly and asking,                                                                             "What's All Might and Sir Nighteye doing here?"                                               In response to the random name calling, I got side glances from the two men in sync, both questioning the weird comment, I could see the confusion in their eyes...

The boy continues to speak to the men, a hand is raised to his chin and his voice is slightly lower than before. it becomes clear to me that my baby isn't talking to the men and is in fact murmuring to himself. I'm glad he's still got some of his old traits. He'd do this even when he was little so it reassured me that he actually might be curable. that was until i figured what he'd been talking about.

 My relief from earlier had been completely erased as Izuku kept mumbling in front of the men for what seemed like hours, though i knew it was just a couple of minutes and the only thing making the time lengthen in my mind was the constant wave of embarrassment and humiliation that the teenage boy was bringing her. I feel guilty for feeling like this, feeling ashamed of my only child, but my only child was a mistake.

i snap myself out of the trance i put myself in and reply quickly, eager to make sure the two men don't dance in their confusion for too long.

I reply in a soft voice, my throat still dry and raspy from crying " those two are the people he talks about the most, I'm always hearing stories of how this 'All Might' person, whoever he is, is training him and that Sir Nighteye let him into his work-study?"                                                              "I'm getting more and more worried as time goes by"

For the first time after Izuku had entered the room one of the therapists decided to speak up, "It'll be pricey, but I can see your son twice a week, I'll see him for 5 weeks before I make my decision on whether we need to take further action."

The man gestures towards the other man sitting beside him before starting his next sentence, "Me and my colleague here will swap out every second session, so your son will be able to have two different types of therapy as well as being able to get used to both of us, hopefully resulting in some progress with his mental state."

This time the man's colleague speaks up " I'm sure we'll be able to turn your son back to normal, if not there are other options.." "I'm sure we won't have to resort to that," I say hastily, I speak with slight confidence in my voice but I know in my head that with how long my baby has had these illusions that there's a bigger chance than I want there to be, that he'll be sent to a mental hospital...

"so, yes or no?"

- That's all for this chapter! It took me awhile to come up with some text ideas and only now am I realising how much this story is going to depend on dialogue and extended vocabulary. But we'll get through it! I'm honestly enjoying writing this a little more than my other fanfic! :0

To my early babes :) I've rearranged the chapters and added in more context so you'll have to re-read my awful writing once more but with more context lmao.
