It Started with a Hello

"Mother."

"Yes, Makoto?"

"What are you doing?"

Hanamiya had just gotten back home, and found it odd that his mom didn't come to greet him. After searching the whole house, he found her in the office on the computer. Taking one glance at the screen, he saw her scrolling through pictures of wigs.

She sighed. "I'm going to lose my hair, so I figured I'd get a wig."

He frowned, crossing his arms. "You don't have to get a wig, Mom."

"I'll look ridiculous without any hair."

"Mom," Hanamiya said firmly, "being bald doesn't make you look ridiculous. You'll always be beautiful, with or without hair."

She swiveled the chair to look at him, and stood up. She placed a hand on his hair, lightly ruffling his hair.

"You really know how to make your mom happy, don't you?"

He smirked. "I try."

She gave him a kiss on the cheek, then pulled away from him. The grin on her face made Hanamiya feel very uneasy.

"Is that... girl's perfume I smell on you?"

"No," he denied immediately.

"Was it that girl you keep talking about? Did she kiss you? Are you guys dating now? Makoto, I need details!"

He gave her a strangle look. "Mother, we are not dating. She only hugged me."

She pouted. "But that's a step closer to dating!"

Hanamiya didn't know whether he should facepalm or roll his eyes at his mom's antics.

...

Tbh, I feel like Hanamiya is extra sweet to his mom. Which is why he's a bit ooc when interacting with his mom.
