Chapter Text
he was filing her nails, half watching her son when she got the call.
She dropped everything, grabbing her hellion, and running upstairs, pushing him into his father's arms, only giving the clipped explanation of "Ko-Chan", before hurriedly running out of her house.
She fumbled with the car keys, as she hastily threw her bag onto the passenger seat.
Mitsuki went through about 6 red lights at at least twice the speed limit as she rushed to get to the police station.
...
She was greeted by Present Mic and a police officer, as they explained what had happened to her dear Godson, Izuku.
They told her that Midoriya Hisashi was the one who caused all this. He had burnt down the apartment building the Midoriya's live...d in.
Mitsuki could feel that she was being guided somewhere, and she was gently pushed down onto a chair, and a plastic cup of water offered.
She slowly took the cup in her shaking hands, trying to comprehend what had happened. Inko... Inko was dead?
Mitsuki's body couldn't decide whether she wanted to cry or burn Hisashi's face off.
It turns out it chose the former.
Tears began streaking down her face, as she clung to Present Mic. She eventually managed to sniffle out, "A-and Izu...? He's ok right?? Can- Can I see him?"
It was the police detective who answered.
"Yes, Midoriya-kun is alright, Bakugou-san, although he is currently being taken to hospital, to be treated for the burns, and other injuries. He is being escorted in the ambulance by another hero, who will keep him safe." The detective paused, "We contacted you, because we couldn't reach any of Midoriya-san's living relatives, and you're her and her son's emergency contact. Unfortunately, we won't be able to let him stay in your care. He passed out after he was rescued, and doesn't seem to remember anything about his own life, so to him you'd just be a stranger. We also have reason to believe that Midoriya Hisashi will return, and attempt to harm Midoriya-kun, so he will be staying in the protective custody of two pro heroes, who will essentially become his parents." The man drew a notebook from his breast pocket, and continued, "if you could give me your address, I'll pass it onto the heroes who will be looking after your godson. They will send you a letter to tell you how he's doing."
Mitsuki gave him her adress, her tears calmed down slightly now. Present Mic stood up, as his phone began to ring, and he excused himself, leaving only the grieving woman and the detective together.
The man continued, "Of course, for safety reasons, you won't be able to know who the pros are, and you won't be able to contact him until both him and his guardians decide it's safe. He will be made aware of your existence, and the circumstances surrounding you." The man sighed, "although we think it would be best to tell your son that the Midoriya's have only moved away, and to keep him away from the news for a few months."
Mitsuki nodded dumbly. She knew how devastated Katsuki would be when he found out that Ko-Chan was dead, and that he couldn't see Izuku again.
Although, Mitsuki supposed, she could placate him with the idea that they'd probably meet again at UA. (I mean, the kiddo was getting brought up by heroes. Chances are he'd become one.)
Letter 1
"Hello Bakugou-san!
I'm one of the heroes in charge of looking after your godson, Izuku. (You'll probably only get letters from me, because my boyfriend is a grumpy git and doesn't want to write letters.) Anyway! I'll tell you some stuff about me and my boyfriend, so we're not like strangers anymore!
We're both pretty young, and we were probably chosen to look after Izuku since we were the ones that found him, and he kinda latched onto us?
We've been dating since our second year at UA, and we're both heroes! In these I'll go as Hishi and my grumpy boyfriend can be Shou. :)
I've put a picture of Izuku in the envelope... I hope it's still in one piece(!)
Izuku is out of hospital now! Yay!
from
Hishi"
[picture of Izuku:
He is clinging onto the body of someone wearing all black, and he has bandages and plasters all over him. He is beaming at the camera.]
2nd letter
Hiya Mitsuki-san!
I know it's been a year, but I'm kinda a loudmouth, and the police don't want me to give away too much, so I'm limited to one letter a year. :(
Shou's getting along with Izuku really well, the kid adores him! We even introduced him to our friends, Kaya and Sei, who are also pros! Sei even has a little brother Izuku's age! They love playing tag together in Sei's garden. (Sei's family are stinking rich, so we go over there and steal all their food instead of going shopping)
In other, more exciting news... IZUKU GOT HIS QUIRK!!
He was playing with one of our neighbours (someone who used to work as a quirk trainer at my agency), when he found out he could control her water quirk! We took him to Recovery Girl, and she tested the limits of his quirk... It seems he can control any product of a quirk, so emitter type mainly, although he can control things made by a creation quirk to some extent, as long as they're 1/10 or less of what he can actually hold. So me and Shou think it's maybe an evolved version of his mother's quirk?
He's been taken out of school though, and is being taught by our old homeroom teacher. Tbh with him as his teacher he'll probably get a doctorate age 12.
anyway, there's another picture attached!
see ya later!
from Hishi x
[picture of Izuku:
He's grown and is a lot taller. He's standing in front of a quirk registry office, and is holding a quirk registration folder, and is once again grinning ear to ear. The last name on his folder had been scribbled out on someone's phone before it had been printed out.]
4th letter
Hi Mitsuku saan!!
not much to report this year, although... Big news! Me and Shou got married!! Izuku was the flower boy with Sei's little brother, Sei was my best man, and Kaya was Shou's best woman/maid of honour! Of course little Izuku was also the ring bearer, (although Shou wanted our cat, Teacake, to be the ring bearer... For some reason??)
Anyway I've attached a photo of Izu in his lil tux!! So cute!!
Love Hishi, the now married pro hero x
[picture of Izuku:
He was sitting on a chair, swinging his legs, obviously distracted as he looked the other way, once again smiling. By his side sat a wicker basket with some red and yellow rose petals sitting inside.
The back of the card had a message written on it in a different, curlier handwriting, that read:
"Hello! I'm told you know me as Kaya? I'm this little cutie pie's auntie, basically! I'm making sure he's spoilt enough! Honestly, I might give up heroism just to look after him 24/7! Love ya, your doin great babe <3" ]
5th letter
Hii Mitsuki-san!!
So there really isn't much happening this year, although it is the first time we've been off for Halloween, so we took Izu out trick or treating!
Luckily I'm not very recognisable out of costume, and no one knows Shou anyway, so we've managed to get out this year!
He also lost a bunch of baby teeth this year too! He's growing up.
until next year,
Hishi x
[Picture of Izuku:
it was dark, and Izuku was standing on a pavement, grasping a pumpkin shaped bucket, filled to the brim with sweets. His smile was a bit gappy now, as a few of his teeth were missing. He was wearing an adorable ghost costume, with a hood that covered his curly mess of green hair. He was using his free hand to make a peace sigh towards the camera.]
11th letter
Heya Mitsuki!!
Izu's 15 now!! And he's been accepted into UA, on recommendations! He decided to cut and dye his hair to make himself look less recognisable, though, and I'm kinda sad, I miss the broccoli floof!
Anyway, he'll be in 1A, so if your son's going to apply for UA, they might be in the same class!
Anyway, you'll probably see him in the sports festival, so you'll get to see him in action! (if you get free tickets without an explanation, it's from me.)
talk to you next year Mitsuki-san!
love
Hishi x
[Picture of Izuku:
He's standing in his UA uniform, a cheeky grin on his face, and his hands in his pockets. His hair is black, the sides have been shaved, and the rest pulled into a ponytail at the back of his head. Three silver cuffs adorn each ear. The boy gives a lazy peace sign to the camera.]
Mitsuki smiled. The latest letter had arrived yesterday.
This morning, when she had waved off her angry little brat, for his first day of school, she did so with the hope that he'd become friends with Izuku again.
She closed the half filled photo album containing all of the letters she'd received over the years, and placed it back in her draw, making sure to reposition her "Anti-Katsuki" measures on top. (Aka tampons and pads.)
Closing the door, she stood up, and left her bedroom, hoping that this year would be the year that she gets to see he godson again.
