Chapter Text
Dorms life was great so far, he could get used to it. At first he wasn’t so sure, because, well, he liked his family. He thought he would miss them. And he did, for at least a week. Then he learnt that parents were allowed to visit during week-end.
He learnt it a sunday morning. In the common area of the dorm. When he found Shouto and Momo trying to prepare breakfast in the dorm kitchen. In front of all his classmates. All of them. Even class A was there. They were looking at the couple of heroes, two feet away, whispering and giggling, some even hiding behind furnitures.
They were lucky it was morning and that Satoru’s sarcasm was still sleeping in his bed (where the boy definitely wanted to go back right now). So he just stared at them, deadpanned, unable to process what he was seing.
-Are you making up illusions? He asked Takashi.
-You wish, his classmate answered with a smirk. Then he took a picture of the scene with his phone and put it on the internet. -I can’t believe i’m witnessing the hero Shouto making breakfast.
-You won’t believe how it will taste like either, i promise.
That’s when his parents spotted him. And as expected they dropped everything to go meet him. (whatever Shouto was cooking right now was fated to burn). For a moment, Satoru was sure they were going to hug the shit out of him, but fortunately, they only stopped a few feet away and patted his head.
-How was your first week? Asked Shouto. -Did you make any friend?
He still tried to comb Satoru’s hair with his fingers, to tame a bit of his bedhair. IN.FRONT.OF.EVERYONE. Satoru was too shocked to do anything but stare.
-We got call from Kirishima and Aizawa, but we wanted to hear your version, added Momo.
She gazed around and noticed that a lot of kids were staring at them, with wide eyes full of stars, phone in their hands. She coughed, blushed, and politely said:
-Hi, i’m Momo Yaoyorozu…
-You’re Peace leader !! And you’re the number 3 hero !! Screamed a girl that Satoru didn’t bother to learn her name yet (he gave her the nickname Redhead though).
Momo and Shouto smiled as they said in one voice:
-We’re Satoru’s parents right now, nothing else.
Satoru blushed because of the first part of the sentence, but all his classmates giggled because of the last part, surely, they didn’t see them as only Satoru’s parents. He was thankful that Max and Tsubaki already knew his situation, as they started to explain it to other classmates.
-What are you doing here, Satoru finally asked, then realizing that was rude, he added. - I would have call you today, you didn’t have to come here, you know.
-We missed you, said Shouto bluntly. -Didn’t you miss us too?
That was a trick question, one that Satoru wasn’t prepared to answer in front of all his new classmates. He didn’t want to pass as the mommy and daddy boy he was. (There was no point denying though). Momo opened her mouth, and for a moment Satoru thought she was going to save him from any further humiliation, but instead she said:
-You forgot your frog pillow too, so we thought we might bring it back. I know you sl-
-WHERE IS MAHO? DID YOU SEE MAHO? I’M SURE MAHO WANTS TO SEE YOU MAMA!
Crap he called her mama in front of everyone too! The bait worked though, and Shouto looked around :
-You’re right, i thought it was rather calm, it’s because Mahô is not there.
-She’s doing jogging, answered a girl with short hair, one of Mahô’s classmate. She won’t be back before 9 if she follows the same schedule as her week days.
Satoru looked at the clock, but it was only 7:30. He had no hope of her saving him.
-As dedicated as ever, i see, whispered Momo with a smile. -Well, we already know Mahô, and Max and Tsubaki, but what about everyone else, Satoru why don’t you present us your classmates?
Said classmates made a line in a matter of seconds. They all had something to say to the heroes and didn't need his help to do the introductions. In ten minutes span they were all discussing around the main table. Satoru took pity of the meal that was burning and isolated himself in the kitchen to save it. Surely, that was his anxiety talking ; it couldn’t be that bad, he tried to reason himself. He was glad to see them (and he did miss his frog pillow too).
-Urgh, i feel ya' Satoru, whispered Tsubaki as he helped doing the dishes. -But i will say this: T'could be worse.
-Yeah, at least I'm not forced to see my grandmother kiss my classmates everytime they’re hurt.
Tsubaki nodded and added grimly:
-Or kiss her ‘verytime you’re hurt.
But when he returned in the living area and found his parents babbling with his classmates like they were all friends, already trading advices and training tips, for anecdotes about him
-Does he still make sex jokes around you? Does he speak well? Asked Momo, in exchange for an info about managers.
-Is he eating well? Asked Shouto after showing a defense move.
Satoru wanted to hide in a corner of the room and disappear. He regretted not having an invisible quirk like Tooru right now. Max laughed a bit embarrassed, and tried to comfort him shyly:
-Every parents are like that, don’t worry.
-Satoru your parents are SO COOL! Yelled Goro, after Momo gave him Tsuyu’s number.
The fact that his crush approved his parents didn’t make everything better. He was still embarrassed. He managed to get them out of the living room and push them back to his bedroom (where they commented about every furniture, and asked him if he needed anything they could buy and bring him next week-end. Gods they planned to be here every week-end?!)
-Don’t you have job to do?!
-Don’t worry, we scheduled it so we could be free on sunday, explained Shouto. -Since you’re not there, our week days are quite…
-Empty, concluded Momo sadly.
Satoru’s panick fell hard, and his heart got too large for his chest. He wished he could say that he missed their presences too, that the whole world felt empty without seeing them eveyday, but that would be a lie. He just had so many things to do he didn’t see time pass. Not yet. He was sure that he would feel homesick soon enough, but right now he still had to learn each of his classmate names, and get a hero training schedule planned, and do his homeworks.
-I’m sorry, did we embarrass you in front of your friends? Asked Shouto.
-Oh no, did we? I’m sorry Satoru, i was just so glad to see you, and Aizawa told us you did well, we just wanted to…
Satoru almost answered them that, yes, they did embarrass him, but he didn’t. Because his friends were all awstruck by his parents in the living room, and happy and…Well…He was too.
-No it’s okay…Next time you come here, just call, so i can be prepared, you almost gave me an heart attack.
They pulled him into a crushing hug, and he allowed himself to give in.
Ah. he missed those. Especially before going to bed, he realized.
But before he could say it, there was a commotion around, some of his stuffs started to buzz around, even bounce on their place. He recognized those signs. The voice of Mahô resounded:
-IS IT TRUE THAT YOU’RE PARENTS ARE HERE SATORU? LET ME SAY HI I WANT TO SAY HI! COME ON I WANT TO TRAIN WITH THEM LET’S SAY YES. COME ON PLEASE? PRETTY PLEASE WITH SUGAR ON THE TOP!
Mahô’s voice wasn’t the only one to say please, and of course, when they opened the room, they didn't even try to deny that they were spying them, or try to act natural. They found almost everyone in the hallway, expecting an answer with big smiles on their faces.
