Hi, hi, dear friendo! Request for a Midoriya doing house chores with Inko? ;v;
Thank you for this adorable request!!! I hope I can do it justice, mother-son bonding moments GO!
Izuku is home for the holidays and so heās taking the opportunity to help his mother around the house with some thorough cleaning. On top of getting rid of all the junk thatās accumulated over the years, theyāre getting to every nook and cranny that is usually neglected in Inkoās usual tidying up, behind heavy furniture, under the couch and the beds, the works.
They kind of make it an unofficial competition to see who can get the most done in the least amount of time. Izuku may be a hero in training, but his mother knows the house much better than he could ever hope to, even if he had lived in it almost as long as she had. Plus, Inkoās quirk was extremely useful during these kinds of chores, since she could float the small objects towards her while she dusted the places where theyād been before. It didnāt help Izukuās case that he actually manages to get a pile of junk to fall on top of him when he is trying to clean out his closet to get ahead and his mother actually has to come help him deal with it.
Not only that, but despite the fact that heās supposed to be on vacation, Izuku doesnāt want to fall behind on his training either, so heās killing two birds with one stone by incorporating some exercises as he goes through the various chores that need to be done. He stretches his muscles whenever he has to reach up to higher places, does curls with the chairs he picks up as he hoovers beneath them, and so on so forth.
When Inko asks him to help her drag the couch in the living room so that she can finally clean under it, Izuku moves to do just that before pausing with a thoughtful hum. Instead of just dragging it and any of the potential dirt and clutter trapped below it, he crouches down, calling for the tiniest bit of One for Allās strength so that he can more easily lift it above his head. Inko stares with mouth agape as Izuku tries to shake off the dust that falls onto his hair. Heās not very successful, however, so he shifts the piece of furniture slightly so that he can balance it on one hand alone while the other wipes at the top of his head to get rid of the worst of it, sneezing as the dust inadvertently crawls into his nose.
He looks back at his mother, who is still staring at him, eyes a little wide with shocked surprise and he smiles sheepishly, realising that his mother hadnāt actually witnessed his use of the quirk he was given first-hand. It must be quite a shock indeed, to see the son sheād spent all her life protecting because of how powerless he appeared to be lift a whole (admitedly not very light) couch over his head with just one hand.
She seems finally regain her bearings after a few heartbeats when Izuku goes back to holding it with both arms.Ā āIāll be quick!ā
Izuku simply dismisses her with a small shake of his head, starting to do squats to train his legs as well.Ā āPlease, take your time, Iām good.ā
Inko blinks at him once again, doing a double take at her son exercising with their living roomās couchĀ before getting back to cleaning the floor until itās nearly shining in the light. She doesnāt think she will ever get used to her little Izuku being this strong. After all, she isĀ his mother, and to her, Izuku will always be her little boy.
