The doctor thinks it's a combination of things. Stress and bad diet, mostly -- Mom's always been nervous, and with me out of the house and Dad never bothering to show his face or call, she's been a lot more stressed out.
[Part of him regrets moving out--if he'd stayed close by, maybe she wouldn't have gotten so stressed. He'd already put her through so much during his time at UA, and with him doing this as a full time job and still getting into regular scrapes with villains...well.
He was just thankful that heroes had amazing medical insurance.]
She's taking medication to help with her blood pressure and anxiety right now, and about four more for her heart. The doctor wants me to let Dad know, but you can probably guess how that turned out.
[No answer, and a message on voicemail. He hadn't called Izuku back--not that he ever did. If he hadn't been sending money in every so often and apparently talked to his mother once or twice, Izuku would have wondered if he even existed at all.
Aizawa and All Might were closer to him in this regard than his own biological parent. Not that anyone knew. Kacchan was the only one to really know about him, and Izuku avoided all questions with a strained 'it's complicated' that usually shut the questioner up.
But Kacchan's words have him pause. That was...probably the single nicest thing Kacchan had ever said.
His face heated up, his heart beat fast...
And his shoulders shook, almost violently, as he began to sob in Kacchan's arms.]
