Uravity watched the traffic from the top of a skyscraper. International missions were always fun after the bad guys were caught. The landscape was so different from her home in Japan. But, a familiar pair of boots entered her peripheral vision, setting her heart at ease.

"You're late~" she sang. Deku sighed, handing her a plastic bag.

"Apparently, Americans make you wait in line even if you're in uniform." Uravity laughed opening the bad to some cheeseburgers and fries.

"I guess they only care for the super flashy heroes," Uravity shrugged.

"Yeah, well, we helped," Deku said hastily. Uravity playfully nudged him.

"Are you jealous?" She could see his shock through his mask.

"Me? No! Just… they like…"

"Go one," Uravity encouraged with a small laugh. "Say it~" she sang again.

"They like Ground Zero more," Deku murmured quickly, pouting. Uravity couldn't help her laugh as Deku crossed his arms.

"There we go!" She patted his back. "That wasn't so hard!" Deku relaxed at her touch and chuckled with her.

"No," he said reluctantly, "I guess not." He took his half of the food and the two ate in comfortable silence.

"Man, I love burgers from the source," Uravity said, wiping her mouth.

"Mm," Deku agreed, still chewing his last bite.

"Hey!" The pair turned to see a security officer standing at the roof-top entrance to the building. "This is private property. You guys can't be up here!"

"Oh! We're sorry! We're leaving!" Uravity responded in English, picking up their trash. The two of them stood up. Deku gave the security officer a nod.

"Sorry for troubling you," Deku said in English as well, taking Uravity's hand. She gave final wave before casually stepping off the edge with Deku.

The officer rolled his eyes. "Damn heroes," he muttered.

The couple combined their quirks to fly across the city in record time. Landing back at the hotel, Ground Zero was waiting for them on his balcony.

"Just cuz you two are public with your relationship now, doesn't mean y'all have to flaunt it!" Ground Zero called out.

"Oh? Does it bother you?" Uravity asked sincerely. Once they had both feet on Deku's balcony, she let go of his hand. Ground Zero scoffed.

"Nah, I'm just saying. You might get the wrong set of eyes looking at you."

"Aw, are you worried about us, Kaachan?" Deku asked putting his hand over his heart.

"Shut up," Ground Zero grumbled, looking away. Any which way he said it, Uravity was touched.

"Don't worry," she said floating to her own balcony. "We won't do anything scandalous."

"Yet," Ground Zero scoffed. Deku had to laugh.

"I appreciate it; I do," Deku said a bit more seriously.

"Yeah, whatever," Ground Zero finished the conversation by going inside.

"Wait," Deku turned to face Uravity, "You're really not coming in?"

"No, not in public view!" She said incredulously. Not giving him a chance to answer, she went inside her own room.

They had just celebrated their first-year anniversary a day before being called into this mission. All it took was a few weeks of dating before making it official. Then there was the hard part of introducing Izuku to her friends. Then there was the harder part of Izuku telling his fellow Pro-Heroes his identity. But then, thankfully, there was the easy part of Ochako meeting Izuku's mother and All Might. And now, of course, was the hardest part of letting the world know who he was.

The couple had just gone public with their relationship a month prior to the mission. There were some very solid theories of who Uravity's boyfriend was. They were lucky Izuku had lived such a low profile life. Still, some people were right, connecting the dots. The whole world was in on it. There was going to be a press conference when they got back to Japan. It was time the world knew. They were still a very hot topic, especially with this international mission. In the American news, however, Ground Zero was taking all the spotlight. Izuku didn't mind the attention being diverted from himself for a little bit.

An hour later, Izuku was in Ochako's room. He sat behind her on the small couch, aimlessly playing with her hair.

"You ready for the conference when we get back?" Ochako asked. Izuku hummed. "It'd be impossible for me to date you if you try to keep this a secret."

"I know," he said, twirling a strand around his finger.

"Are you sure about this?" Ochako tilted her head up, catching Izuku's gaze. He gave her a quick kiss on the forehead. "You don't have to. We can find another way."

"We talked about this. It's been eleven years since my official debut. I'm ready for this." Ochako took his hand and kissed it. "Do you wanna get married?"

"Yeah, one day," she answered easily and mischievously. Izuku chuckled and ruffled her hair.

"I meant to me."

"Yeah, I know. One day," she said playfully, reaching up to ruffle his hair back.

"We'll be thirty next year," Izuku warned.

"One: don't remind me. My birthday is next month; I'm still 28 for now. And two: So what? We'll be thirty-one the year after. There's no rush." She patted his cheek. "Plus, I want a really grand proposal. So, you need to save up."

"Just a grand proposal? Not a grand wedding?" Izuku chuckled. Ochako shrugged.

"A simple wedding is romantic to me. You know what? How 'bout I propose to you?" Ochako could feel Izuku's laugh more than hear it being pressed against his chest. She turned herself in his lap to rest her head on his shoulder. Izuku promptly wrapped his arms around her. She played with a loose thread on Izuku's shirt. "What about kids?"

"Well," Izuku sighed, "I would like, at least, two…"

"But?"

"But, you know, our lives are dangerous."

"We can handle it. We deserve families too."

"Do you want kids?"

"I want five!" She held up her hand, wiggling her fingers. "I want to fill a house with noise. I want them to play and fight!" Her eyes sparkled, "Could imagine it? Two -or three!- of them coming up to you with the most important fight of their lives and it's a broken toy? And you get to teach them?!" She covered her face with her hands and sobbed, "It's just so cute!"

"Wow, you don't have any issues about being an only child." Izuku laughed and Ochako lightly punched him. Izuku swooped in for a quick kiss on her cheek.

"One step at a time, though. The conference first," she said patting his chest.

"I feel like I can do anything with you," he confessed.

"That's my specialty." Ochako cupped his cheek and brought him down for a deep kiss. She could feel herself floating, losing herself in him.

New chapters of their lives were beginning. A whole mess of media and paparazzi was going to crash down on them. For the rest of their lives. The risk they would take in having children would bear down on them. The guilt, if anything were to happen to those children, would crush them. All that just to add to the pressure of being Pro-Heroes. The responsibility of it all could reduce them down to nothing. Everything that would go wrong, could go wrong. Not without fear, however, they were strong enough to face it. They were Heroes. And, that night, they were weightless.
