~Rebirth~

~A Father Never Forgets~

Three years have passed since. Izuku and Shoto have increased their relationship steadily which did not sit well with katsuki and especially Izumi who had a crush on him. Shoto stopped taking to the two. He once even froze them and told them coldly in his words that "I hope you burn in the deepest darkest pit of hell and that Satan himself oversees your punishment"

After that the two steered clear of Izuku and Shoto who act more like brothers than best friends now

Shoto even introduced him to his mother, Rei Todoroki or 'Mom' as she told Izuku to call him. Since Shoto could not go to the hospital alone, Izuku often, and that means everytime, accompanies Shoto. After the first few visits. Shoto told Rei of Izuku's story. Rei, was of course enraged. How could someone treat such a cute boy so badly?! She thought. From that point onwards, she always tried to show Izuku motherly love which worked well as she had nearly burst in to tears when she heard a few words

"Good morning mom, how are you feeling today?" Rei was about to respond when Izuku entered the room carrying a basket with fruits in it "hey mom! Hope you are doing well!" He said, not noticing his slip up

Shoto chocked on his own spit while Rei burst into tears, which turned into
Ice as it flowed down her cheeks. Realisation hit Izuku, if his frozen position was any indicator. He stiffly turned his head to glance at the other two in the room. He frantically bowed his head, repeatedly sputtering out apologies upon seeing Rei cry.

"I am sorry! I didn't mean to call you that! Please don't cry" he said waving his arms around frantically

Rei cut him off with a smile. "Silly Izu. I wasn't crying because of the reasons your brain was thinking about. I am crying because I am happy" she responded

"You are... Happy?..." He questioned with absolute confusion. Why would someone be happy with him calling them their mother?

"Yes I am happy. After all, why wouldn't I be when I have my two sons visiting me every week and twice at that" Izuku burst into tears knowing what she meant by "two sons". Shoto smiled. Over the past weeks, Shoto began seeing Izuku as more of a brother than Natsuo or even fuyumi who never bothered to call

He pushed Izuku towards their mother. Rei leaned forward and wrapped her pale, slender arms around her two sons small figure.

"Remember. Izu, Sho. You will always be my sons. No matter what... And when I am out of this hospital we will go visit all of the world!" She promised. To visit all the places in the world was her dream, which was unfortunately never achieved due to her being being forced to marry Enji

"I swear!" Izuku said making both occupants of the room look at him. "I swear that I WILL get you out of, not only the hospital, but out of enji's sight for ever. That's a promise I will fulfill even if it costs me my dream. And then we will tour the world together isn't that right... Mom?" Rei smiled. While she did not like him promising he would get her out of this hell hole at the cost of his own dream, she still liked the fact that Izuku called her mom

Shoto smiled before looking at his watch "We have to go, unfortunately. Enji will be mad at me for staying out so late and Izuk-" Shoto cut himself off and looked at Izuku Yagi. Izuku... His older brother
