Snow Birds

Who Knew?

She immediately turned red at the word vomit that just came out.

"I-I mean, I didn't mean shades like that's your name! I just meant I recognize- I recognized you for that and I um- I'm sorry! I- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say it out like that. No disrespect here! Nope!", she immediately gave a little bow and prayed she didn't tick off the woman.

She immediately rose back up and the two puzzle pieces slipped together but didn't say anything. Her eyes were wide though at the realization. The man next to the woman put down his bat when his wife waved at him.

"Uraraka?", Mitsuki asked. "It's...it's nice to see you dear! What are you...doing here?

"I'm here with Bakugo!", she said frantically. "I swear I didn't break in or anything! H-He went out but he's coming back! I-I didn't know"-

Mitsuki burst into laughter at her frazzled state. Both parties nerves were recked, but the mother couldn't help but laugh.

"It's alright hon.", she said stifling a giggle and walking over to the girl.

She went in for a friendly hug and rubbed her back.

"I'm glad you're here. I didn't know you knew my son."

"I'm glad you spoke up too. I was ready.", the husband spoke.

"Oh, like you would've even tried to strike.", his wife scoffed. "My husband and I immediately heard singing and we were like, that can't be Katsuki-it sounds to pretty. We walked in and looked over and I saw your hair. I'm like wait baby, that's the girl from the grocery store. That's the only thing that stopped you from getting knocked out, believe you me. Maybe not him, but it surely would've been me."

She blushed and gave a nervous laugh.

Omg, omg, omg, she freaked out inside her head. I had no idea she was his mom! How did I not even know! I literally just went off on her yesterday! She's gonna figure it out!! Crap. Crap. Crap. And we're together now! What am I supposed to say?!

"I'm so sorry. I would never surprise you all on purpose.", she said in a high pitched tone.

She looked at the man who was still near the kitchen, and quickly walked over to him, realizing it was rude not to introduce herself.

"Nice to meet you sir!", she fumbled shaking his hand. "I'm Ochaco Uraraka. You have a nice home."

"Try telling my wife it's my house.", he joked and shook the small girls hand.

Mitsuki rolled her eyes, but smiled.

"So, how do you know Bakugo?", she began. "I've never heard your name from him. Well, I guess I never hear anything from him. I thought you were in college or something to be working?"

"I, uh, were in the same class! And I...well..."

"The hero course? Really? I swear I should've...known..", she began in deep thought than snapped her fingers. "HIS FIRST YEAR! YOU FOUGHT HIM A WHILE BACK AT THAT SPORTS FESTIVAL THING!"

She widened her eyes not having a doubt in her mind that was Bakugo's mother.

"Y-Yes ma'am. We did.", she said nervously.

"You were in the magazine for new heroes on the plane back.", his husband said pulling the magazine out of his backpack.

"You're kidding let me see!", his wife said.

They both flipped through the pages and eyed the magazine. They looked at her and back at the book. Then back at her. Then the book again. She stood like an awkward mannequin and gave a wobbly smile.
