At the end of March, Katsuki would finally face Inko Midoriya. He finally got the courage to talk to her, and she was willing to listen.
Katsuki sat in the office of his therapist and he waited for Inko to enter the room. He fidgeted with the seams of his sleeve, he was so nervous.
He heard the therapist talking to the woman, and then they walked closer. She took a seat opposite of Katsuki. The blonde looked up from his doing and his eyes met hers.
She still looked so tired, she had dark circles under her eyes. She had lost a lot of weight over the months. “H-hello, Auntie” he started. His voice was shaking.
“Hello, Katsuki” she gave back.
“I want to apologize to you, Auntie! I know it took me so fu- so darn long to come forward with it. And I am deeply sorry for that! I feel so bad, that De- … Izuku left because of me. I made him mad and I didn’t know that he would leave after that. I am so sorry!” He rambled. He couldn’t really grasp a string of thoughts.
Inko looked at Katsuki, she could see, how beat down he was. In truth she wasn’t even upset any more, she knew that it wasn’t Katsuki’s fault. By now, Izuku had contacted her and told her why he had left. But ever since, she didn’t see the blonde again, the only time was, when they met by chance on the street and that was, when he bailed out of it.
She stood up and walked over to him. He stiffened, when she came closer, he expected to get smacked again, like his mother did. Instead, she cupped his cheeks. “I am not mad at you Katsuki. Everything is alright. Izuku contacted me and explained what happened that night.”
Katsuki’s eyes widened. A big boulder was suddenly lifted off of his chest. “Izuku contacted you?” he asked again. His mind was spinning. That was such a good sign, was it? He had finally made contact!
“Yes, he did, he called me on New Year, he apologized for leaving and explained his situation. I would have talked to you sooner, but I never had the opportunity, and the one time we met on the street, you ran away.”
Katsuki’s eyes widened as he realized, that the situation with Khaoz could have been avoided in the first place, if he didn’t run away. He felt so stupid now, why was he so afraid. “D-Did he say something about me? Does he hate me?” Katsuki asked, scared to hear the answer.
“He doesn’t hate you, Katsuki, he was just scared to hurt someone. He got the bond scrubbing and he is doing much better now.” She told him.
“S-so … is he coming back?” When he had gotten the scrubbing, why wasn’t he coming back?
Inko shook her head. “No, unfortunately he won’t come back. He still hasn’t gotten control over himself.”
Katsuki looked to the ground, he felt better now, he was relieved that Izuku had talked to Inko, but what was with him? He wanted to talk to him too.
Inko looked at Katsuki. “Maybe I could make a phone call, but I can’t promise anything, sometimes he doesn’t answer.”
His face lit up. “You would do that?”
“Of course, give me a moment.” She sat down next to him and pulled her phone out, she dialed his number and put it on speaker. It rang quite a while.
“If he picks up, let me talk to him first.” Inko looked over to the other omega. Katsuki nodded.
It rang twelve times before he picked up. «Yeah, mom?» he murmured. His voice seemed very off.
“Hey, baby, is everything okay? You sound weird.” She was concerned.
«I’m in rut, what do you want?» he asked.
“Oh, I’m sorry, to disturb you then. I’ll make it quick.” She said. He grunted on the other end. Inko cleared her throat. “I, um, I’ve been talking to Katsuki, he apologized to me for making you leave. He is still very concerned however, and I thought you could maybe talk to him, to ease his mind?”
They heard Izuku rumble on the other end. «Uh, yeah, Kacchan …» he mumbled. «How’s he doing?»
“Well, I have him next to me, you’re on speaker.” Inko said. She nudged Katsuki in the side.
“Hey, Izuku” Katsuki said.
More rumbling. «Hey, Kacchan … How are you doing? Did I hurt you that night?»
“No, no you didn’t hurt me. I’m doing okay-ish, I had some troubles the past few weeks, but it’s better now” he said.
«Good … And what about Kirishima?»
“I apologized to him, we’re on friendly terms again” Katsuki answered. “Same goes for Mina and Ochako.”
«Good to hear» his voice trailed a bit off.
“And you? I heard you had the bond scrubbing?”
«Hmm-mm, I had, I feel better now.»
“I’m happy for you.” Katsuki had a smile on his face. “When do you come back?”
«Not too soon, I’ll stay here until I have myself under control» he murmured. He then sounded distracted and he spoke in English. «Oh, no, I am calling my mom» he mumbled to someone. «No, thank you, Lacey, I don’t need anything. I’ll call you later.»
“Who was that?” Inko asked.
«Lacey, she’s one of the omega maids here» Izuku explained. «For real, Kairi has a giant mansion, I needed a map to find where I wanted to go the first few weeks» he chuckled.
Katsuki clenched his jaw, when he heard that, what was this omega doing with him? He shook his head. “What did she want from you?” he heard himself asking.
«Just check on me, if I need anything, she’s advised to check on me every two hours» Izuku answered.
“D-do you s-share?” he continued. What the fuck was he doing? This was none of his business, bad omega! Izuku was gone, he was in a different country.
“Nah, the maids are not for sex. Just cleaning and stuff” he said. He let out a yawn. «Kairi has like twenty-five of them, Butlers too, they called me ‘sir’ in the beginning, was weird» he laughed.
“Oh, so many personnel, this Kairi must be very rich” Inko was astounded.
«She is! She has three pools around the house, three! One is on a balcony and one is on the roof! The other one is just a normal pool, but I mean, three!» Izuku chuffed. “And the showers! Mom, I tell you, those showers are a dream come true! It rains down on you from the whole area. It’s so great!» Inko was delighted to hear her son this happy.
“Are they all nice to you?” She asked further.
«They are. They aren’t as scary as they look like. Even the rough looking alpha soldiers are like real cuties when it comes to pups. We have some pups here and you should see them! There are a bunch of people in this house, so I am not alone at all. Kaleb has a Japanese mate, so I can talk to her in Japanese too. And you should taste how she cooks, it’s so amazing! She’s as good as Mai-Li! They are cooking rivals and they had the big chef battle around Christmas, it was so nice» he rambled.
“That sounds wonderful!” Inko was close to tears. “As long as you are safe there, I can sleep at night.”
«Don’t worry about the safety, no one can enter her mansion, PAM protects it! She’s got like lasers and stuff. No one can force an entrance!» he sounded so happy and amazed.
They heard a «Thank you, sir, I am doing my best» in the background. Izuku chuckled.
“Why’s she in your room though? Doesn’t she need to protect the mansion or something like that?” Katsuki asked. No, Katsuki, stop! Don’t ask things like that! It’s probably not what you think it is.
«Haha, PAM is everywhere! She’s an AI. It’s like so cool! If you know the Avengers, it’s like J.A.R.V.I.S.!» He sounded like a child would sound when Christmas and Easter were to fall on the same day. He had such excitement in his voice.
Katsuki felt dumb once again. His fucking jealousy extended on computers now … That reminded him … “By the way … w-what is with our relationship … sh-should I w-wait for you?” Katsuki’s voice was trembling, he didn’t want to hear it, even though he knew what the answer would be.
«No, Kacchan, don’t wait for me. It would be unfair to you, since I don’t know how long I will be gone. I want you to be happy and I am sure there will be better people than me.»
Katsuki shook his head, he gulped heavily. “Alright … I understand …” he exhaled deeply.
«Hmmm-mm Kacchan, I don’t hold any grudges against you, don’t think it was your fault that I left, it was not. I would have needed to get the bond scrubbing anyway, and Kairi offered to pay for everything. And with me saying I would never mate you … I didn’t mean that I would never ever mate you, but just not right now, we were still in school and all. That’s what I meant.»
“Yeah, I understand that now, I don’t know why I got so pissed off that night, I knew what you meant, but my omega took offense to that. It was stupid.”
«So everything is good between us?» Izuku asked.
«Yeah, of course it is» he said.
«That’s good … really good» the alpha trailed off. «Sorry, but I start to lose my lucidity … I should hang up now.» Izuku mumbled.
“Alright, thank you for the talk” Katsuki had a slight smile on his face.
“Okay, baby, stay safe and call from time to time. I love you” Inko said.
«I love you too, mom. Good bye Kacchan.» With that the call ended.
Katsuki exhaled deeply, he was trembling. He covered his face in his hands. He was relieved that Izuku didn’t hate him, still he was very sad about the fact that they broke up in the end. He wanted to hope, that everything would turn out good, but as it stood now …
Inko placed an arm around Katsuki’s shoulder. He leaned against her, silent tears fell down his cheeks. She let out a soothing sound and some of her pheromones, to calm him down.
“Don’t cry, Katsuki, everything will be okay, eventually. If fate wants it, you two will find each other once again. But I am sure, you are capable of moving on too. You will find a lovely mate.” She rubbed his shoulder comfortingly.
“Thanks, Auntie” He smiled at her.
