33 - Meeting the Shinsos

-Y/n POV-

As the school day came to an end, you got more and more nervous. "Am I going to meet his parents? Do I look okay? Oh God, what if I say something stupid?" You had even put on a little bit of mascara that morning just in case you met his family. "Why am I stressing out about this? It's not like we're dating, or anything! I'm just a friend, coming over to study for an exam. That's all." You take a deep breath as you head with Shinso to his house.

"You okay?" he asked.

"Yeah!" you squeaked. "Shit... I hope he didn't hear how nervous I sound." Luckily, he didn't make any comments on the matter.

You round a corner and are faced with a beige, plain-looking house. "Is this his home?" Your question is answered when Shinso walks up the path to the front door. You smile to yourself as you look at the house again. "It's simple... like him."

"Oh, hey... Dad's home." He points to one of the two cars in the driveway.

"That's right... He had said that his dad has a 'No Sleep' quirk, and that he's been taking up a lot of night shifts."

As you follow Shinso to the door, you run your hand over your hair to smooth it out in case there were any parts that looked crazy. Shinso turned to look at you when he heard you moving around. "Don't worry, you look fine," he said, repeating what you had told him before he met your mother. He gave you a smile before pushing the door open.

-Shinso POV-

"Mom! Dad! I'm home!" you call out as you close the door behind the two of you and kick off your shoes. Before there's any response, your cat comes running from around the corner to greet you like usual. He stops when he sees L/n, though. You look at her; Her E/c eyes are huge and sparkling.

"Is that your cat??" she asks you.

"Yeah." You watch her slowly kneel on the ground and stick her hand out for him to sniff. He cautiously approaches her and checks her scent. He must've approved, because he's instantly rubbing his face all over her hand and legs.

"What's his name?" she asks while scratching behind his ears. He's purring so loudly that you can hear it from where you're standing.

"Eraser."

"PFFT!!" She let out a laugh at that. "Seriously?"

You roll your eyes. "Yeah, yeah, I know... We got him when I was five, and at that point I was obsessed over my uncle being a pro hero, so I insisted that we name him Eraser."

"That's so cute!" she cooed as she pet his face. You felt a light blush; She thought that your childhood story was cute?

"Hitoshi, is that you?" Your mom then poked her head from around the corner. Her eyes lit up when she saw L/n, and she immediately came over to greet her. "You must be L/n!" Your friend stood up and gave a bow before speaking.

"Hello, Mrs. Shinso. Thank you so much for allowing me into your home!"

"It's wonderful to meet you, dear." Your mom held out her hand for L/n to shake.

"That's odd, she doesn't usually shake hands with people..."

You watched L/n take your mother's hand before her eyes went blank and her other arm went limp. You knew exactly what was happening right away. "MOM!!!" You couldn't believe it... Your friend hasn't even been in the house for thirty seconds, and your mother was already brainwashing her!

"Tell me something, L/n..." Your mother spoke in a serious tone as she continued to hold onto the girl's hand. "What made you show an interest in my son? What do you want from him?"

L/n responded without hesitation. "I only want to get to know him more. I felt like he and I shared a lot of the same experiences, and I wanted him to know that he's not alone. I also find him attractive."

A huge blush erupted on your cheeks after hearing that last part. "She really finds me attractive??"

You look to your mother and saw that a light blush had appeared on her face, as well... Clearly, she was not expecting that response. You hid your face in your hands... Surely, as soon as your mom let go of her, L/n would run out of your house and never speak to you again. "Way to go, Mom... You just made me lose my first best friend."

Reluctantly, your mother let go of her hand. It took a split second for L/n's eyes to return to normal. She didn't say anything, she just stood there in what you could only assume was shock.

Your mother then spoke up to get her attention. "Please forgive me, L/n... I care about my son's safety more than my own life. If there's any chance that he's in danger, I'll do everything I possibly can to protect him. Anyone could go after him and his quirk, which puts him at risk. Hitoshi had nothing to do with what just happened, so if you're going to be upset with anyone, please let it be me."

L/n stood there for another couple of seconds before she blinked. She turned to look at you, and you peeked out from between your fingers to look back at her. You were humiliated.

"... It's all right." She finally spoke.

"What?"

"I completely understand... If I had a child with his abilities, I'd be concerned for their safety, too."

"Am I dreaming?? Is she seriously fine with what just happened???"

"I really am terribly sorry... I should've asked for your permission before I did that." Your mom was trying to gain your friend's forgiveness.

"I forgive you. I'm just glad to know that my friend has parents who care so much for his safety and well-being," she said with a smile.

"L/n... You are welcome here anytime!" Your mother embraces your friend before you can say anything, and L/n returns the hug.

"Thank you, Mrs. Shinso!"

You heard your father's voice approach from down the hall. "What's going on out here?" When he came into view, he seemed surprised to see your mom hugging a total stranger. Your mom released L/n and brought her a few steps toward your dad.

-Y/n POV-

"I'm so sorry dear, I didn't properly introduce myself... I'm Mihoko, and this is my husband, Hajime!" Shinso's mother introduced the two of them together. You were still slightly recovering from her brainwashing, but you took the two of them in regardless.

Shinso's mother was beautiful. She was slightly shorter than you, and she had long lavender hair that she wore up in a messy bun. She also had violet eyes with white pupils, just like Shinso. His father was closer to your dad's height, and he had violet hair exactly like Shinso's. He also had white pupils, but his eyes were a much darker shade of violet. He had bags under his eyes too, just like Shinso, and you almost let out a laugh once you saw them. "So THAT'S where he gets them from!"

"Hello! I'm Y/n L/n." You gave another bow to the both of them.

"It's nice to meet you, L/n," his father said with a smile.

"All right, if we're done greeting each other can we start studying now?" Shinso seemed to be getting impatient.

"Of course. Go on up, and I'll call you when it's time for dinner!" his mother said with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Shinso!" You thanked them one last time before following your friend up the stairs.

         I'm sorry we didn't see much of his dad! He's not much of a talker...
