Inko & Katsuki, motherly worry, bad parents Mitsuki & Masaru
Sometimes Inko reflects on the fact that no matter how great the success or how grand the honor, Katsuki never has a familiar face in the crowd. She’s managed to make it to every ceremony of Izuku’s possible since the moment he was old enough to toddle across the stage and bow, while Mitsuki and Masaru have made it to a grand total of one. She can’t help but imagine what that would be like for Katsuki, although he always puts on a brave face and acts like he doesn’t care.
But going through some old files on the computer one night shifts Inko’s mentality on the subject. She’s got countless videos of Izuku in choir performances, award ceremonies, school festival plays. And sure, she took them for Izuku, but Katsuki’s in there as well. He’s in a lot of the pictures they’ve taken too, somehow caught in the background or in the group photo of the entire class parents could request for a couple of yen. All these years she’s mourned that nobody is there to remember Katsuki’s accomplishments the way she does Izuku’s, and yet, here are the memories--in her.
So, from them on, Inko decides to be Katsuki’s familiar face in the crowd too.
