Vanity

Chapter 3

The two boys walk with stillness and stern faces, probably concerning the people they pass. As they continue Izuku spots a familiar green head and immediately his heart drops realizing it's his mother. He covers his face as he walks past the crowds trying to avoid her. Katsuki realizes now why he's been present at their house and not his own.  
   "Wow...Never would have thought that the problem was your fucking mom! What... exactly happened?" Izuku's heart rate spikes at the sudden question and begins to mumble and release some profanity. Katsuki ignores this and moves on with the walking.

Suddenly, they hear screams near the front area and quickly run to see what it's about. From the looks of it, it seems that a villain was attacking civilians and gathered hostages. The two boys looked around and heard an alarming scream which sounded like Inko. Izuku instantly teleports near the villain with waves or electricity following after. He knocks the villain out in a flash and looks down at his mother seeing she was one of the hostages.
   "Izuku I-" Before Inko can finish her son walks not even giving her a chance to talk.

More reinforcements and heroes become present at the scene as they question Izuku.  
   "How did you do it?", "That was dangerous!" and "Thank you!" could be heard from the crowd that gathered. Izuku, not wanting to be bothered, locates to the top of a building nearby where he is met with a weird pro hero.
   "Mr...Eraserhead...?" Izuku asked slightly startled.
   "Why the hell are you here?" The pro hero stares down at him before he says anything. Carefully analyzing everything about the boy.
   "As you should know, I don't care for publicity, but if things were to get out of hand. I would be required to come down and help. So to answer your question. I'm simply observing smartass..."

Izuku turns his head a bit before realizing what he meant. Eraserhead is an underground hero which means he isn't the type of hero to show off or wants fame. Izuku bows and apologizes for interrupting the duties of the working hero and his cursing habit.
   "Don't worry about it. You made my job a lot easier by coming here." Midoriya turns his head in confusion before he politely leaves. He didn't realize what he had done for the pro hero but he is in for a surprise.

Izuku zips back to Katsuki's location and makes a faint apology for leaving. Weirdly though, Katsuki was a lot angrier at him from the situation. It didn't last long though, due to Izuku treating him to some French cuisine.
   "Do you hate your mother?" Katsuki asks.

There was a silence for a moment as Izuku seemed to be thinking. He didn't know his true feelings for his mother at all and it made him think even harder about it.
   "She is an absolute bitch." Izuku finally replied. The other boy chuckled at the weird thought out a reply and was about to say something until the other continued  
   "Although, she is still my mother and I hope somewhere in her heart she loves me, every time I see her I can never express that. I just become angry every time she is near me."

Katsuki sigh's as he listens in on how the Midoriya was feeling. He felt bad for him, something he usually doesn't feel.
   "Did you ever feel like my mother was yours?" He asks. Again, Izuku takes a moment of silence taking in these questions seriously.
   "Many times...blood relations never meant shit to me. You guys are like the family I never had. That brought me much joy, but...also grief." Izuku replies.

The ash-blonde boy sighs at the answer. He always wanted Izuku to feel accepted with him and his parents ever since he was a kid. Even though he stated he was happy, grief being also said made Katsuki a bit unsatisfied.
   "Thanks for listening" Katsuki turns his head and nods with a smirk.
   "Thanks for trusting." The boys pay for the food and walk home together content with there talk today.
   "So about that scar-"

Meanwhile, we enter Shouta Aizawa, also known as the underground hero Eraserhead. The sleep-deprived hero sits on his desk thinking about the boy he saw today. Shouta isn't one to pry into others' problems, but there was something concerning about that kid.
