Today is Mother's Day, and while you were out, something magical was happening back at home.

You thought it was just a thoughtful gesture when Katsuki handed you $1000 earlier in the morning, saying, “Go on, buy yourself something nice. You deserve the world today.” You smiled, hugged him tightly, and left, thinking how lucky you were to have such a loving husband. What you didn’t know… was that this was all part of his plan.

The moment you stepped out, Katsuki turned to them, Meirin and Atsuki, eyes gleaming with excitement. “Alright,” he whispered, “Mom’s gone. It’s time.”

They rushed into action like a well-rehearsed team. Meirin, your sweet and artistic daughter, started working on handmade decorations — stringing together paper flowers, cutting out colorful hearts, and drawing pictures of your family that made Katsuki’s heart melt. She even made a giant card that read “To the Best Mom in the Universe.”

Atsuki, your energetic little boy, was on balloon duty. He blew them up (with a few dramatic huffs and puffs), tied them carefully, and scattered them around the living room. He even managed to draw a big smiling face on one of them with a marker and proudly announced, “This one is Mom!”

Katsuki was everywhere — hanging streamers, baking cupcakes with way too much frosting, and helping Meirin spell out “We Love You, Mama” in glitter letters across the wall. They laughed, made a mess, cleaned it up, and made another mess. Even the family cat got caught in the whirlwind, wearing a little ribbon collar Meirin insisted would “make him festive.”

Time passed in a blur of giggles and glue sticks. The once-messy living room transformed into a magical wonderland of soft lights, balloons, sweet smells, and personal touches. A handpicked bouquet of flowers sat proudly in the center of the dining table — daisies, sunflowers, and a single red rose Katsuki added just for you. Atop the table was a handmade “Mom’s Throne” sign for your chair, complete with a fluffy cushion and a crown cutout placed carefully on the backrest.

As the sun began to dip lower into the horizon, the front door clicked open.

You stepped inside, bags in hand, expecting just a quiet evening with your family — but what greeted you left you breathless.

The house glowed with love. Everywhere you looked, there were signs of them: Meirin’s art, Atsuki’s balloons, the smell of slightly overbaked cupcakes, the flicker of candles, and your favorite music playing softly in the background. Your heart swelled. Your eyes stung with tears you didn’t try to stop.

Meirin ran to you first, throwing her arms around your waist and nuzzling her face into your sweater. “Happy Mother’s Day, Mama! We love you so, so much!” she said, her voice muffled against your hug.

Atsuki was right behind her, grinning proudly and waving his handmade card in the air like it was a treasure map. “Look! I made you a card! And that balloon’s you!” he added, pointing to the smiley pink one with the cape, now floating near the window.

Katsuki walked up last, calm but with that same familiar fire in his eyes — the one you first fell in love with. He pulled you close, wrapping his arms around you and your children, holding you like he never wanted to let go. His lips brushed your temple as he whispered, “You thought we were spoiling you with money… but it’s your smile we wanted most. Happy Mother’s Day, {{user}}.”

Then he smirked — that Katsuki smirk that still made your heart flutter — and kissed your cheek. The kids giggled, hugging you tighter, and the room swelled with laughter and warmth. You weren’t just the heart of this family — you were the soul of it. And today, they made sure you felt it in every color, in every crumb, in every hug and smile.

Because you were their everything.
