THREE YEARS LATER

"Izuku darliiiiiing!"

As he looked around for who had spoken as he departed from a crime scene, Izuku felt something big, warm, and soft crash into him. He wrapped his hands under it out of instinct and felt a pair of muscular legs wrap around his waist. He realized he was carrying Toru Hagakure, one of his wives. He looked up at where he estimated her face was and began chastising her.

"I've told you not to scare me like that, Toru..."

"But I couldn't wait to see you," she said, and warm, invisible lips closed around his own. Izuku felt her large breasts press into him, and Izuku had to exert a great deal of concentration to stop himself from getting carried away. He set Toru down before any of the officers could pick up on what was going on.

"Aw, you're no fun. It's not like they can see me anyway." Toru flapped her arms up and down for emphasis, blue gloves a blur.

"We're working, Toru. Besides, they'd be able to see your shoes and gloves."

"Awwww..."

Toru strutted alongside Izuku as he kept walking. "Where were you headed now?"

"Back to the agency."

"Oh, always so busy. It's your birthday soon, silly! You should learn to take a day off every now and then, and I don't mean for us."

"Well, I don't really have anything else to do for today, so I just wanted to be on standby."

Toru skirted around until she was in front of him, stopping Izuku in his tracks. She leaned in close, gloves trailing over his costumed chest. "Well then, if you're okay with it, then I was hoping I could get my turn done."

Her sultry tone caught Izuku off-guard. His mouth opened and closed as he tried to form words, but nothing but indecipherable muttering leaked out. Toru wrapped her arms around him.

"You've got a naked girl right in front of you, Izuku."

Izuku began blinking fast. "You're not wearing your invisible suit?!"

"Not right now," Toru whispered, leaning up on her toes and pulling him down to whisper in his ear. "I've been wanting that baby for a while now and I should be off the pill as of yesterday. I've waited two rounds of kids already and I'm getting impatient..."

Toru yelped as Izuku picked her up in a bridal carry and flew off with her. They began soaring in the air back to their home.

"Ach, cold, cold!"

"Oh, sorry! Although this is what you get for not wearing your suit..."

"Izukuuuuuu!"

They laughed all the way back to the mansion, quite excited about getting down to business.

THE PRESENT

"Okay, okay, you got this?" Denki was recording Izuku behind the kitchen counter with his phone, where an array of beer bottles were lined up. Him and most of Izuku's old friends were gathered in the newly opened up living room, including Ochaco and his secret girlfriends of course. Along for the ride was Mirio and many of his friends, since they were treating this as a shared birthday celebration for the both of them on top of party for the new renovations.

"How many am I trying to open, again?" Izuku asked, pulling up the sleeves of his button-up shirt.

"A hundred and seven at least," Mirio said, his arms folded with a bright grin. "You've got thirty seconds. Last guy who did it had a super speed quirk and he managed a hundred and six. I'm jealous! This would've been a cinch with Permeation. So pop 'em for the both of us birthday boys."

"All that pressure..." Tamaki said from further back, facing the wall. Nejire and a male friend of Mirio's were patting him on the back to comfort him. "How can he stand it?"

"Not that I don't trust you'll be careful Midoriya, but are you sure you'll be able to avoid making a mess?" Iida asked. "I would hate for anybody to have to step on a broken piece of glass."

"Deku's got this, Iida," Ochaco said, pumping her fists. "Show the world what you're made of! Go Plus Ultra!"

"You want me to do it for you, ya damn nerd?" Bakugo grumbled, albeit with a sly grin. Fuyumi elbowed him, rolling her eyes.

"Alright already, just step back," Izuku said, twirling the bottle opener around in his hand. "Who's keeping time?"

"I've got it!" exclaimed Camie, her back length fawn hair styled over her shoulders. She looked striking in the light purple blouse and black skirt she'd chosen to wear. Her curves had always been more than generous, but Izuku noticed that she'd grown just as voluptuous as Ochaco and Momo. "Go ahead, fam! On the count of three! One... two... three!"

As soon as she'd finished, green electricity crackled around Izuku's body as he got to work. Everybody began cheering him on as he went from bottle to bottle, opening each one in an instant. He was careful not to push any off the edge and was entirely dedicated to opening as many as possible.

Stopping his over-analyzing brain from keeping track of the bottles, Izuku ended up popping them open faster than he'd hoped, and quickly established a rhythm. He grew so focused that he was somewhat startled when he heard Camie yell stop.

"How many was that?" he asked, leaning over Denki's shoulder to check.

"Hey, hey, personal space," Denki complained as he pushed everybody else away to let Izuku look. They counted the bottles, eyes lighting up once the video ended.

"I counted a hundred-and-eleven," Denki said.

"Same here," Izuku said, grinning.

"Awesome! That's a new world record!" Mirio headed over and lifted a beer up. "Come have your fill everyone, let's get this shared birthday bash started!"

Clapping and cheers followed as everybody got their drinks. "Breaking a world record to ring in your twenty-first," Kirishima said, clapping Izuku on the back.

"Well..." Izuku said, trailing off. He grew alarmed as he saw Eri reach for a beer bottle, pulling her back.

"No, no sweetie! You can't have that stuff yet."

"But I saw Mirio and Aizawa drinking it all the time!" Eri pouted. "Can I please have some?"

Nearly feeling himself cave under the pressure of her cuteness, Izuku managed to remain firm at the last second. "Sorry honey. Not until you're twenty. I couldn't drink until last year!"

"That sucks," Eri said, stomping her foot.

"It doesn't taste that good anyway," Ochaco said as she picked her up. "You can have some soda though."

Forgetting her disappointment, Eri threw up her arms in excitement. Izuku looked around the people gathered. Mina walked over to him.

"Toru said she'd be here in a bit," she said. "Just has something to take care of first."

Looking around for any listeners, Izuku leaned close to whisper. "Wasn't this, you know... her chance? Weird that she's late. I mean, not that I'm being self-conscious about that—"

"And what'd be the problem if you were?" Mina gave him a wink. "Your real birthday might not be for a couple days but learn to enjoy the party while you can. I'm just gonna mingle in the meantime."

Seeing her off, Izuku walked over to his mother, Inko, who was conversing with Mirio's father on the couch.

"Hey Mom," Izuku said. "Glad you could make it."

"Oh, Izuku," Inko said. She was about to get up but Izuku shook his head, telling her not to bother. "I'm sorry your father couldn't be here, sweetie."

"It's okay, we talked earlier," Izuku said. "I know I haven't been to see you recently, and I'm sorry about that."

"It's only been a few weeks, don't worry," Inko said. "Although look at you! You're making friends and setting world records! My, how you've grown!"

"I know, Mom." Izuku grinned, nodding to Mirio's father. "What were you guys talking about."

"What rowdy rapscallions we've got as kids," Mirio's dad chuckled. "It seems our boys aren't too dissimilar!"

"I see," Izuku said. "Well, I'll leave you to it. Enjoy yourself Mom. Me and Ochaco will be over sometime soon, I promise."

"Don't rush, okay Izuku?"

Izuku was about to walk away when Inko said his name again. He turned around.

"Although now that I think about it... you wouldn't be hiding anything from me, would you? I'm sorry if it's prying, but I can't help but worry about you. You're the top hero, and that means you're always in danger."

Smiling wide, Izuku threw his hands up. "Don't know what else to tell you, Mom. Things have been going good."

Inko seemed like she was hesitant to accept that, but still ended up doing so with a nod. Izuku walked over to some of his other friends, chatting for the next few minutes before he managed to pull Ochaco to the side, explaining that they'd be trying to see her.

"Yeah, it has been a little while," Ochaco frowned. "I feel kinda bad having to lie to our parents about this stuff."

"There's no other choice," Izuku said. "I mean, the stuff with Shigaraki can't leak, no matter what. And then there's everything we have to organize—"

"Well, there is that of course," Ochaco interrupted. "But I was also thinking more... you know..."

Izuku sighed. "You think we should tell her about our whole new relationship status. Or statuses, I guess."

"I mean, would it really be so terrible?" Ochaco pointed out. "We have to tell her eventually, and I've also been talking with the others—"

"Others?" It was Izuku's turn to interrupt. "Wait, they want her to know too?"

"Kinda, yeah," Ochaco said. "I mean, not that they aren't nervous about it, but they're a little eager to let her know. I guess they think if she accepts them, then that'll just make them feel more... secure about this whole thing."

Izuku sighed. "I just..."

"Izuku, come on. Everybody's already accepted me being with you, but the girls really haven't had that chance. There's Eri, of course, but a little girl isn't the same as your boyfriend's parents."

Taking a deep breath, Izuku closed his eyes. "Well, if you ask me like that, Ochaco..."

"Yes!" Ochaco clapped her hands together.

"We'll tell her when we go, and we'll bring everybody with us," Izuku said. "We're not telling my Dad though, that isn't happening until way later. Good?"

"That's excellent," Ochaco said. She kissed Izuku on the cheek. "Now go enjoy your birthday bash."

A few hours passed, during which time the food being cooked in the four ovens was pulled out. Everybody grabbed a plate and ate, drank, and conversed to their heart's content. Mirio was enthusiastically re-enacting his trip through Europe to an engaged crowd, Nejire was encouraging Tamaki to try out several dishes he normally didn't try. Izuku nearly bowled over Kinoko at one point to whom he apologized profusely.

"It's fine, Midoriya," the short girl said, waving him off. "Anyway, was it just me, or did I smell a whole tray of mushrooms earlier?"

"Hm? Oh yeah, me and Ochaco prepared that with you in mind."

"Seriously?! Yay! What I wouldn't give to have a boyfriend who could cook like you! Vamanos!" She skittered off to the counter, leaving Izuku to chuckle at her speedy retreat. He ended up locking eyes with Ibara at the other end of the room, who eyed him suspiciously before turning her head to the side dismissively and walking off. Sighing, Izuku decided to climb up to the second floor.

Climbing up, he saw Rumi chatting with somebody he wouldn't expect her to talk to normally.

"Hatsume! I'm glad you could make it."

Izuku had grown so used to seeing her in tracksuits and tank tops that it was a little bizarre for him to see her in jeans and a beige smock top.

"Why wouldn't I?" Mei chirped. "This place is so expansive! I checked out your new gym earlier and it's the perfect place for assembling a workshop."

"I'm sure it is," Izuku said.

"Oh, by the way, your new sheets should be ready a little earlier than I thought. End of next week, actually."

"Really?" Izuku perked up at that. "That would be good."

"It was kinda difficult when you told me you needed extra large sheets as well, but I managed," Mei explained. "I love tackling impossible projects!"

"You've been getting enough sleep, right?"

"A full four hours per night!"

"R-right," Izuku said, thinking in the back of his head that Mei sorely needed somebody to supervise her unhealthy habits. Power Loader could only keep her in check for as long as she had attended UA, after all.

"I was just talking to Hatsume about further improvements to my prosthetic," Rumi said, holding up her fake arm. "Make it something that closely replicates human flesh."

"It'd take a while though," Mei said. "Better consult with Melissa on it. Hate that she can outdo me on the more high-tech stuff, but... well, it's better to have you at full power, right? Especially when I know you're out there kicking ass with one of my babies!"

Mei soon left, seeing Kamakiri walk by and begin pelting him with a proposal for a device that would sharpen his blades as they emerged from his body.

"Energetic as always," Rumi chortled before turning to Izuku. "Enjoying the party, birthday boy?"

"It's always good to see everybody," Izuku said. "Have you met my Mom yet?"

"She's so adorable!" Rumi said with a grin. "I can easily see where you get it."

"Rumi, you can't say that stuff here. People could be listening."

"And?" Daringly, Rumi snuck in close, hands on his shoulder. "What would be so bad about that?"

Nervous, Izuku looked around. There was nobody around to see them, thankfully, and he was pretty sure nobody had gotten to the newly built third or fourth floors either. The party was concentrated on the main level.

"We can do it later," Izuku said. "Besides, if somebody does come up and sees us they'll think I'm cheating."

"They won't," Rumi said. Biting her lip, she slowly turned herself around until Izuku was to her back. Slyly, she pressed her large butt against his crotch and began grinding against it, tail wagging at his zipper. Izuku grunted, feeling himself grow hard in an instant.

"Oooooh, you like it? Naughty boy. Your mother and all your friends are just below us and you're getting a stiffy. How villainous." Arching her back, she continued grinding against him as her arms held onto his shoulders backwards. Her ears had begun tickling his chin.

"Like I said: Nobody will see us. So long as we're careful, of course."

In a voice as alluring as that, Izuku found his concentration break. He pulled her by the hand and into his arms, using his quirk to avoid making any footsteps that could be heard. They drifted all the way up to the new top floor, with Izuku depositing them before a spare room at the end of the hall. He yanked her inside and closed the door.

"I like the view from here," Rumi said. "Maybe we should move the master bedroom up here?"

"We made a second one, I just haven't shown you yet," Izuku breathed, quickly unbuttoning his shirt. "Let's get this done before anybody notices."

"Gladly," Rumi said. She pulled off her top and pulled her tail out of the hole made in her pants for it. Sliding it off revealed her luscious, muscular legs. Unclipping her bra was the next step, and she pulled her panties along with it, giving her ass a good wiggle to rile Izuku up further.

Kicking off her panties, she was entirely naked. She slunk over to the bed in the corner and sat down on it. She trailed her fingers along her leg and brought her knee into her chest. Leaning against it, her demure red eyes stared at Izuku in clear want.

White hair cascading down as she shook her head, she said, "Time's a-wasting."

Izuku had finished undressing as well, erection already at full mast. Rumi licked her lips as she saw it and gratefully accepted the hand Izuku offered her as he came close. She pulled him down onto the bed, muscular chest pressed into her impressive bosom. They wasted no time kissing, familiar heat building between the two.

Gasps and needy breaths interspersed their make-out, with Izuku squeezing Rumi's ass. Moaning, Rumi's chest vibrated with quiet laughter. That laughter turned into shudders as Izuku opened up her legs to line up with her pussy. He had begun sucking at her nipple at the same time, gently but rapidly coaxing her.

"You like my big tits, don't you?" Rumi purred, scratching Izuku's neck. "Not to mention these legs you can't keep your eyes off of. The muscles, my hair. You love all of me, right?"

"Exactly," Izuku breathed as he trailed away from Rumi's nipple, a saliva trail connected to it. Izuku began lavishing the other one as he crawled closer and closer to Rumi's entrance.

"I've got the finest ass you can think of, too. And you know what big guy? It's all yours. Nobody else's."

Izuku chuckled in between his suckling. "The girls have had their fun with you as well, so not sure about that."

Rumi rolled her eyes. "Fine, it's yours most of the time unless those stupidly sexy babes rope me into some lez action."

Chuckling again, Izuku brought himself up to make out with Rumi again. She gave a yelp as he suddenly thrust himself into her, settling into moaning regularly as he began penetrating her. Their kisses grew more feverish as he pumped himself into her faster, enhancing his strength as he did so. His body crackled with electricity like before as they fucked, their hips gyrating at the same speed. They relished the feeling of one another's bodies.

Just as Izuku's pumping was reaching its crescendo, the two heard muffled voices from outside.

"Man, where's Midoriya? He knew Uraraka was bringing out the cake soon."

Mirio! The two realized in a panic. In truth, Izuku had entirely forgotten about having the cake as soon as Rumi had begun grinding her ass against him.

"Well, he's gotta be in one of these rooms," said another. Izuku and Rumi realized it was Kirishima. "Come on, there's just this last one at the end."

The door clicked open. Mirio and Kirishima walked through into the empty room. Bed was empty, the window was shut. Nobody seemed to have been there.

"We searched every room in the house," Mirio said.

"He must be outside for some reason. Come on, let's go Togata."

In the small closet to the left, the shutter was slightly open. Peeking through were a pair of red eyes, watching for when the guys would leave. Green eyes were further back, but still able to see a decent amount through the opening.

Without any time to open the window and float out or to hide their clothes, Izuku and Rumi had simply ducked into the closet as their best option. They'd kicked in their attire as they'd done so. They did the bed as best they could, but the sheets were still a little rumpled.

As the guys began making their way out, Rumi slowly worked her way back until Izuku's tip was teasing at her entrance again. Head clouded by lust, Izuku silently grabbed Rumi by her waist and entered her from behind. He felt her shudder under his touch once again, remaining silent.

"Hey, wait a minute." Mirio was just about to leave when he caught sight of the wrinkled blankets. Izuku and Rumi stood still, hearts hammering in their chests.

"Somebody's been in here," Mirio pointed out. "But that's weird, we didn't see anybody leave..."

"It was probably Eri, man," Kirishima said. "That or Midoriya and Uraraka got adventurous all of a sudden and... well, you know what I mean."

At the mention of Ochaco, Rumi felt a strong spike of rivalry well from within her. She bucked back into Izuku, working her large butt up and down to push him further inside of her. Izuku nearly let out a grunt at the motion, silently begging for Rumi to stop with taps to her ass. No response.

Mirio opened the window and looked up. "Not floating around up there unless he's all the way up on the roof. So that means, unless I'm mistaken..."

Izuku's heart skipped a few beats, hammering harder than ever as he heard Mirio make his way to the closet. Mind running through all the possible explanations he could make, he pulled Rumi into his chest instinctively, preparing to preserve her modesty at the very least.

"Dude, this isn't a game of hide-and-seek," Kirishima said, sighing. "Really, this is a waste of time. Let's just go."

Mirio stopped a few feet from the closet. "Eh, you're right. Let's look for Midoriya outside."

The sound of their retreating footsteps sounded like angel's bells to Izuku as they closed the door behind them. He could feel Rumi smirk between the fingers over her mouth.

Taking a deep breath, Izuku could feel himself growing immensely irritated. While he considered himself a patient man, even he had his limits. That had been too close. Pulling the shutter open, he wheeled Rumi around and pulled her arms behind her back as he entered her again. He didn't take his time working her up to it. He instead began pulling himself into her over and over, activating One for All to help.

Panting and drooling, Rumi finally began getting the harsh, raw sex she'd been angling for this entire time. Enjoying how Izuku's girth filled her, her eyes began rolling into the back of her skull from the pleasure. His strength was mesmerizing, and his aggression addicting for how rarely it showed herself. She'd known she'd have to be especially belligerent in order to provoke it from him, and her efforts had been rewarded.

SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!

Izuku had always been a prominent presence in her thoughts over the past couple years, but now that they were dating in secret, he'd quickly become her number one thing to fantasize about. All of his muscles, his scars, the wrath he was capable of beneath his humble exterior. It turned her on like nothing else, and quickly each day had become a countdown for when she could be with him next.

SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!

She didn't believe in soulmates or anything cheesy like that, but if there was somebody made for her, she was certain it was Izuku. But it seemed many other women thought the same, which only stoked her competitive spirit further.

SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!

How she wanted to monopolize him, to spend all day with him! Izuku Midoriya was an unmatched pillar of support and raw sexual appetite, and she'd be damned if she wouldn't get her fill of both on the regular. Hence, why she opted to get him alone like this.

SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!

Izuku was thrusting so fast that Rumi's breasts had been swaying back and forth the entire time. Her body felt like it was in perpetual motion from the force and she wouldn't have it any other way. She meant what she'd said earlier; she belonged with him, of that she was certain.

SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!

At the crux of her pleasure, images of children with white and green hair entered her mind unbidden. Jumping into her and Izuku's arms, smiles both ferocious as her own and kind like Izuku's. Green and red eyes staring up at them with love, and with that clear image of her future, Rumi threw back her head and gave a low moan.

Pulling Rumi back onto his dick with a louder SMACK than any of the others, Izuku unloaded inside of Rumi. His seed pumped into her until it was spilling out of her pussy, dripping onto the floor. Rumi was panting all throughout it, jerking her hips to coax just a little bit more of his semen out. Drool dribbled down her chin as she sucked in hot breaths of air until finally, Izuku stopped.

Letting her go, Izuku watched as Rumi stumbled over and collapsed on the bed, happy and satisfied. Semen was still oozing from her pussy. Breathing hard, Izuku sat down next to her.

"Learned your lesson?" he asked.

Rumi smiled as she panted. "I might have to go for the remedial course, professor..."

"They could've caught us there," Izuku said, rubbing his face. "Honestly, that was way too close."

"But it didn't go too far," Rumi said, sitting up. She gave Izuku another tender kiss. Languidly making out for a few seconds, she pulled back and gestured to the mess.

"Well, people are definitely noticing you're gone. Let's be quick and get rid of all this."

"Midoriya, where've you been?" asked Mirio as Izuku came through the front door. "We had to slice open the cake without you. I ended up getting the first piece."

"Sorry, I was just checking the sprinkler system," Izuku explained hastily. He'd dressed and floated down from outside the window, carefully making his way to the control shed and then exiting out of it in case anybody was watching. He saw Rumi coming down the stairs in his peripheral vision. Their tryst had been a success.

"Was the sprinkler system nice and loose?" asked Setsuna, interjecting herself into the conversation with a sharp-toothed grin. "No problems with pressure, water gushing at full strength?"

"Uh..." Izuku was a little taken aback. "Well, actually there's a problem I've been trying to take care of, so that's why I checked—"

"I see," Setsuna said as she walked away. Wondering what that was about, Izuku made his way over to the cake and eagerly accepted a piece from Ochaco. She didn't do it without eyeing him suspiciously, however.

"Sprinkler system working okay?" she asked flatly.

"W-well, it's—"

He was interrupted as Ochaco began whispering into his ear. "I don't care if you and Usagiyama want to have a little fun. But there's a time and place, and this isn't the time!"

Izuku winced. "Sorry."

Ochaco huffed in frustration. "You were discreet, at least. You're lucky it's your birthday so that's all I'm in the mood to say. Now go enjoy your party like a normal person."

Having been told off, Izuku went to mingle again. Another twenty or so minutes passed until the doorbell rang.

"Ah, that's Toru," Mina said. She went to answer the door. "Annnnnd we arranged for a special surprise!"

"Ah, they're here," Momo said, getting up from the couch. Izuku blinked at that.

"They?"

The door opened and in came Toru. "Hey everybody! Sorry I'm late. Thing is, I got stuck with the short straw and had to pick up a friend."

"Sorry for the trouble, Hagakure," came a familiar, cool voice from behind her. Everybody there began murmuring after hearing it. Izuku's eyes grew wide as a tall man with split white and red hair in a ponytail walked through the door after Toru. His heterochromatic blue and grey eyes peeked from beneath his bangs, and of course, the burn scar around his blue eye made him unmistakable.

"Been a while, guys," said Shoto Todoroki. "Sorry it took me a while."

"Todoroki!" Izuku was the first to stride forward, not hesitating to wrap Shoto in a tight hug. The man was a little taken aback but hugged him back.

"There you are, half-and-half bastard," Bakugo grumbled. "Thought you were about to stay overseas for good."

"Well, I'm here now," Shoto said. He hugged Ochaco to say hello and shook hands with all his old friends in turn. He stopped when he came in front of Momo.

"I'm back," he said simply. Momo let out a brief giggle before hugging him herself.

"I can see that," Momo said. "Welcome home."

With that, the party resumed livelier than ever. Izuku made his way over to Toru who had unfortunately been overshadowed by Shoto's grand reappearance.

"So that's why you were so late," he said.

"Yeah. We wanted at least somebody to pick him up. Momo knew and told me and Mina, and well, one of her conditions for inducting me into your whole... thing was to wait for Todoroki."

"Ah. That." Izuku looked around. "Why don't you come in? Take off your shoes. I'd love to show you around the place. Everybody else has had the chance."

"I'd... really like that," Toru replied.

"Then follow me," Izuku said, helping her put away her shoes and commencing the start of their stealth date.
