Work Text:
Inko washed the dishes, staring at a stained peice of paper she had clipped to the fridge. On the paper was a comprehensive diet guide written in Izuku's neat scrawl.
That peice of paper has marked the begining of Inko's failures. Her failure to support Izuku's other interests, to let him know that she loved him. That being quirkless never changed that.
She never told him how she was secretly relieved when she found out he was quirkless. Because she knew the statistics on heroes, and all their early deaths.
Maybe if she told him, he would have stayed. Maybe Hizashi would have stayed home that day.
Maybe.
Maybe..
