❝ HOW CAN YOU TELL ME THAT ? we all thought you were dead ! your mother still thinks your dead , she mourned for you . that doesn’t bother you at all ?! -- you’re just going to let her believe that ? ❞ shōto could say more if he wasn’t trying to make a point to someone actively trying to escape him , he also has to consider what it means to izuku anyway . there must be one button working better than others , whichever one he can push right now to get him to stay is exactly the result shōto is looking for . everything he did to search for him wasn’t enough in the end , it was circumstance that brought them back together and shōto loathes himself for it . he has so much lost time to make up for , so many promises to keep . he doesn’t care about the consequences , about izuku possibly using his quirk . whatever the price is , shōto will pay it ten times over . whatever is happening , he won’t stop until he’s figured it out .
❝ . . . i don’t have a mother. you’re lying. ❞ izu grits his teeth and clenches his fist at his side. sensei had told him that the heroes would tell him any number of lies to trick him into going with them. sensei also told him that he had no family, save for the league. he had been expecting lies before, but this defies imagination. he would not have thought a self-proclaimed hero would stoop so low. ❝ it’s a shame. i thought you heroes were above things like lying. ❞
