Chapter 26
The sounds of waves crashing into sand could be heard, laughter and chattering filled the air as the sun shone on to the beach below. Multiple people could be seen around the beach, ranging from playing volleyball and frisbees to even sunbathing on the sand.
Nearby the beach was a restaurant, they had tables in an open area and there were stairs that lead straight towards the beach. The place was slightly filled but there were not that many people, the day was still rather early after all, so customers still hadn't filled the place.
At one of the tables, sat Izuku, Yui and Momo. All three sat on a round table so they were practically across from each other. They had moved there so they could talk while having something to drink. Itsuka had given them a weird look but Izuku and Yui had assured her that it was just something between them and it wasn't anything concerning.
Well not concerning would be a wrong way to describe things at the moment, both Izuku and Momo could barely look each other in the eyes. Izuku from guilt; Momo from embarrassment and nervousness. Yui on the other hand had kept quiet while looking between the two of them with growing impatience.
"..."
"..."
"..."
The silence was starting to become deafening as it continued on, letting the sounds of chattering and laughter fill the background.
"Alright, this is getting nowhere." Yui suddenly spoke, making them both look towards her in alarm.
"What?" They both asked.
"Look, we've been sitting here for a few minutes already and none of you has said anything."
"What's there to say?" Momo asked with a slight incredulity in her tone. "I've just been told that the person I'm i-interested in is already in a relationship and somehow his girlfriend wants me to join in on it too." She said with some embarrassment, it was already bad enough that she had to admit her feelings in front of Izuku. Let alone...whatever they were having at the moment.
"Tell me, do you like Izuku?" Yui suddenly asked, making them both blink towards her.
"Yui?" Izuku asked, however, Yui ignored him as she stared into Momo's eyes.
"I…" She hesitated before looking at Izuku for a moment, then she looked back towards Yui with confidence in her gaze. "I do, he has helped me so much. Without him, I'd probably wouldn't have gotten as far as I have now. He's amazing and has clearly shown that he deserves to be in the hero course." Momo said while slowly looking towards Izuku with a soft smile, the verdette on the other hand was looking at her in slight shock.
"Even b-back at the USJ," She continued with a slight shudder in her tone, remembering the horrific things that had happened there, "he managed to help us all get through it until the heroes arrived, he was a source of hope for us at the time. I admire him for that."
"Momo…" Izuku softly gasped, a bit blown by the sheer emotion he could feel in her words.
"Then you should at least try going out with him, if you don't like it then you can back out without any hard feelings and it will be fine. Trust me, if you miss out on this chance then you might regret it in the future. Do you really want that to happen?" Yui explained reasonably, making Momo blink before looking down in thought.
It's true that she was slightly uncomfortable with it, but it was more with how it happened rather than the type of relationship itself. She was rather mad that she had missed her chance with him but here it was, a chance to at least try going out with them and see if this type of relationship could work. If it did, she would be in a quite happy relationship but if it didn't then she could back off and break things off easily without any hard feelings.
She also knows that if she let this chance go now, she would regret it later. If not now then maybe later in life, wondering what could have been if she had just accepted it rather than backing out just because of a small and manageable discomfort.
Decision taken, she looked back up towards them.
"You...make a good point. Alright, I'll join in on this relationship. I'd like to at least give it a try." Momo said with a smile, offering her hands towards them. "If you're willing to go with this of course." She said towards Izuku.
Yui smiled as she saw this while Izuku widened his eyes, "Well, the choice was more yours to make Momo but…" He paused before slowly capturing her hands with his own. "I would love to have you as well ." He smiled, making her return it cheerfully.
"Now you may kiss." Yui bluntly said, making them look towards her in shock. "Don't look at me like that, you guys are barely holding back here, so just go for it."
Permission given, Izuku immediately pulled Momo closer to give her a kiss on the lips. Momo was quite surprised by his bold move but slowly melted into it. Both of them slowly melted into each other's arms as they kissed each other with passion.
Both didn't really realise how long they had been going at it, but it was long enough to the point that Yui had to pry them apart. Izuku would have asked why if it wasn't for Yui immediately kissing him as well.
The kiss was a bit short as Izuku's breath was already running out, making her whine a bit as she pulled herself away from him.
"Forgetting me already?" She asked teasingly.
"Never." He immediately replied, making her pat his cheek with a soft gaze.
"Good." She smiled before looking towards Momo in consideration, giving her glances towards her lips as she did so.
Momo, noticing this immediately, shook it away, "Maybe not now, I don't think I'm ready for that yet."
Yui nodded at that understandingly, "Fair enough, though if you ever want to experiment…" She paused before giving her a half-lidded gaze. "You'll know who to call."
Momo's face turned crimson as she heard that. 'Is this what Izuku has to handle everyday?' She thought to herself with some slight amusement and embarrassment.
Izuku chuckled at that before looking around, noticing that some were starting to stare at them And some hinting a bit of recognition towards him.
"I think we should get going," He piped up, making the two girls realise the attention they were getting at the moment. "The rest are probably looking for us by now."
With that, all three stood up and went to pay for their drinks before making their way to the beach. Their hands intertwined as they did so.
However, the moment that they start getting near the beach Momo immediately releases her hold on his hand. Making Izuku look at her in curiosity and slight concern.
"What's wrong?"
"It's just…" She paused before deciding to tell the truth. "I don't want our classmates to know of our relationship."
She could see that she did not choose the right words as a flash of hurt could be seen in Izuku's eyes while Yui's narrowed in suspicion. Making her flail her hands in panic.
"It's not you guys! It's just, I don't want some people to start meddling into our relationship." She said while gesturing towards a certain direction, where Mina was laughing around with Kirishima.
She loves Mina and she's a good friend but she does not trust her to not start meddling into her relationship, she was already too curious about her relationship with Izuku before they even got together back at the festival.
Hearing this, Yui calmed down while Izuku breathed a sigh of relief. "I see, well I guess you're right about it."
Momo sighed in relief, "Don't worry, it'll just be until I'm more used to this. I'm really sorry for this."
"It's fine Momo." Izuku waved it off.
"Heeey!" Itsuka called them, making all three look towards her direction.
"What are you guys waiting for! We got some games to play, come on!"
"Well you heard her, let's go!" Izuku chuckled, running towards her as both of the girls followed him along.
The day at the beach proceeded rather smoothly after that, they had at first played volleyball with each other. At first, they had made it a 1-A versus 1-B match but after a while, it just fell over and both classes started to mix with each other.
Of course, with quirks in the mix, things started getting rather hectic really quickly.
"Hey, you got an extra guy!"
"Dark Shadow is merely a part of my quirk, it does not count."
"Kamakiri! How many times do we have to tell you to not cut the volleyballs!"
"I was trying to bat them away!"
"Oh come on! Invisible air walls are totally cheating!"
"Rich coming from the guy that create sound effects to homerun a fucking volleyball!"
Izuku had stuck with both Momo and Yui as his teammates, allowing them to easily win a few of the games. The fact that it also made some….interesting things happen to his girlfriends just made him enjoy it even more, not that he would admit it. Though he was pretty sure that they noticed, judging by Momo's blushing smile and Yui's smug glint in her eyes. Besides, they were also enjoying the eye candy that Izuku was providing.
It got even more apparent when they started to go swimming on the beach, some of the girls had enjoyed the sight of shirtless and wet Izuku. Something that was returned rather clearly judging by his wandering gaze, though he tried to at least keep it on Yui and Momo something that was rather easy for him to do.
Izuku had to take a deep breath and calm himself down a couple of times whenever they purposely stretch their body or play around the water near him, making both of his girlfriends giggle slightly at his reactions. Yui's actions were understandable, but now even Momo was following along with her antics. It seemed like she was starting to realise how fun it was to tease Izuku.
In other news, both classes had also made a couple of competitions when they had gone swimming. Ranging from simple swim races to even holding their breaths under the water. Some had even started to use their quirks to gain an edge in a few of those competitions.
Some people might have raised an eyebrow at the illegal use of quirks but it was rather harmless and most of the people there already knew them as UA students thanks to the Sports Festival so they let them have their fun, something that was made really clear when a good chunk of the civilians started to swarm them to ask for autographs and such.
It went on for quite a while and some of the students were a bit overwhelmed, but they managed to handle it and it quickly died off once it was clear that they were there to have fun and relax.
"Man, they're quite excited huh?" Hiryu remarked with a chuckle.
"Yeah, but it's kinda a pain in the ass." Yosetsu sighed.
"Easy for you to say, all I got was kids telling me that it's gonna be ok." Sero noted depressingly, remembering his match against Todoroki and how people had reacted to it.
"Nonetheless, it's best we start getting used to it. Heroes face their fans nearly everyday after all." Jurota advised.
His words, however, were met with a mix of cheers and groans of the times to come.
"Oi!" Sato called out, making both classes look towards him. "Come on, I got some treats I made for you guys!"
"Really?" Kaminari gasped with a large smile before hurrying towards him, an action that was followed by the rest.
"Here, take some! My mom helped me out with it and we ended up making too much." Sato chuckled as he opened his basket, revealing the large amounts of cakes and sweets inside it.
"Woah!" They gasped.
All of them then started to eat the cakes and sweets that were offered by Sato, making them all gasp with how delicious it was.
"Man, this is really sweet!"
"It's melting in my mouth!"
"It's really good!"
Similar sounds of contentment could be heard among them, making Sato sheepishly laugh as he heard it.
"Haha glad you guys love it! If you guys want, I can make some more for everyone as snacks for lunch in school." He offered, making everyone look at him with stars in their eyes.
"I mean..." Izuku piped up, "Won't that be a bit imposing? I don't want to make things hard for you after all."
Sato on the other hand just waved it off, "Oh relax Midoriya, compared to how much I need to help my parents make for their bakery this is nothing. In fact, it would be good practice!" He laughed uproariously.
"See Midori? If he says it's fine then it's fine! I, for one, would not miss out on some sugary goodness." Mina smiled.
"I guess you're right." Izuku sighed with a smile, conceding to their point.
"Speaking of sugar," Setsuna piped up, "You, on the other hand, are one hell of a candy eye Moptop."
Her words made him blush a bit while some of them who were nearby also moved their gaze towards him.
The jacket he wore didn't really hide much, but after some swimming he had gotten rid of it and stayed shirtless, allowing for everyone to see just how built he was. His muscles looked packed, as if there was a hidden strength that lies within it despite its slightly small size. His broad shoulders and large height made him look rather big. He looked like a really well built swimmer.
Setsuna whistled as she stared at him, completely unashamed of her actions while enjoying the hunk of a man right beside her.
'Oh yeah, mama likes what she sees.' She smirked to herself.
Momo on the other hand looked at the scene with a complicated expression, she enjoyed looking at the form of shirtless Izuku, but she could also see some of the girls were also staring at him and she felt like she should do something about it.
"Shouldn't we do something about this?" Momo asked Yui.
Yui just shrugged at her, "We could but it might give away our relationship." She pointed out, making Momo sigh. "Besides, depending on how things go I might not mind some of them joining in." Yui smirked as she saw Itsuka trying but failing to keep her gaze off of Izuku.
"Riiiight," Momo drawls out, "It feels like you're collecting people in a harem now."
"I'm just spreading the love," Yui defended herself. "It just so happened that most of them are good looking and well I'm pretty sure Izuku can handle it." She joked.
"What if he can't?" Momo asked with some worry in her tone.
"It's a relationship Momo, it goes both ways. Or three ways in our case, all three of us need to learn how to compromise. And well, we can always help Izuku in that regard." Yui assured her, however, she still seemed a bit unconvinced.
Yui sighed a bit as she saw this, "Momo, look at me." She requested, making Momo look towards her. "As long as we talked with each other about anything then this thing can work out. I want this relationship to work because I care about you and Izuku. This is not just something casual that would just be broken off in a month's time." Yui spoke, making Momo's eyes widen.
"You're really serious about this." Momo softly spoke, making Yui nod resolutely at that.
The heiress sighed at that. Truthfully, she was still hesitant even after she agreed to this relationship. She was afraid that it might be just a casual relationship between Izuku and Yui which would explain why Yui was so easy with her joining them.
But no, that was not the case. Yui genuinely cared for her enough that she wanted her to be in a relationship with Izuku as well. It was rather eye-opening to say the least, to know that there can be someone that cares for her to go this far.
"You're right, I guess I've been overthinking about it." Momo sighed, "You know you seemed to know a lot about this kind of thing. Have you been in a relationship before?" Momo asked curiously.
Yui however shook her head, surprising her. "No actually, this is my first."
"Really? Then how do you know all this stuff?" Momo asked with some shock in her tone.
"Let's just say it pays well to be observant." Yui smirked mysteriously.
Momo just sighed and chuckled at that.

The sun started to hang low as the day began to end, the students started to pack up their things as they prepared to go back home.
"Man this was fun!" Kaminari exclaimed.
"Yeah, we should do this again sometime!" Toru suggested, gaining approving words and nods from everyone.
Izuku on the other hand was looking around the beach with a complicated expression, something that was noticed by a few people.
"Izuku what's wrong?" Ochako asked a bit worriedly.
"Nothing," He shook her worry away, "It's just that I didn't really see Bakugou or Iida anywhere."
"Oh Bakugou said he couldn't make it, he said got some stuff he needed to sort out first." Kirishima informed them, making him nod at that. Guess he was still dealing with some personal problems.
"Iida also said the same thing, something about a family emergency." Ochako added, making Izuku narrow his eyes.
"He said the same thing before leaving early from the sports festival…" Izuku muttered, becoming a bit worried for his friend.
"Hey," Ochako nudged him, "Stop worrying too much, I'm worried about him too but today is the day we relax. If anything major happened I'm sure he would tell us about it." She reasonably pointed out, making him nod.
"Yeah, you're right. Speaking of fun, you really liked those mochis huh?" He said while remembering the number of mochis that she had devoured from Sato's basket.
Ochako chuckled sheepishly at that, a bit embarrassed of her actions though she did not regret it. "I mean, no one was eating them, so might as well you know? Besides, I'm not that bad."
"Ochako you literally hissed at Komori when she tried to take one from you, poor girl was terrified of you." Izuku deadpanned.
"I apologized to her, you know!" Ochako defended herself, pouting cutely towards him.
Ok, maybe she did regret her actions slightly, just slightly. It's not her fault that those mochis were so delicious!
Well, at least that's what she told herself to feel better.
However, her next words were cut off when the sound of footsteps was heard coming towards them, taking some of their attention.
There was Inko walking towards their location with Eri right beside her, holding each other's hands as they walked towards them.
"Izuku! You finished with everything already?" Inko called out.
"Almost done, still helping with cleaning things up." Izuku answered before bending down to look towards Eri. "How's your day Eri? Did you have fun today?"
Eri nodded at that, looking far more happier than before. "It was fun! I saw some fishes and I made a sandcastle, you should have seen it."
Izuku chuckled at that, "Well next time we come here, I can see it and I'll even help you out with it, how's that sound?"
"We can come here again?" Eri asked in shock, making him nod with a smile.
"Of course we can! I didn't really get to stay with you after all so the next time we come here I can make up for it." Izuku promised, making her give him a small smile.
"Izuku," Ochako tapped his shoulder, making him look towards her. "Is this your family?"
"Oh right," Izuku remembered, looking towards her as he gestures towards his family. "Ochako, this is my mother, Midoriya Inko and I guess my adopted daughter now, Eri."
Ochako looked towards him with a blank gaze before her eyes widened in shock.
"Your daughter?!"
Her words managed to attract quite the attention as the rest of the students started to flock towards them when they heard her.
"What's happening?"
"Wait Midoriya has a daughter?"
"Since when?!"
Izuku looked on in surprise and nervousness as his classmates looked at him curiously while Yui and Momo were staring at him with a gaze that demanded him to explain properly. He could also see that Eri was starting to get slightly nervous from all the attention she was getting as she hid behind Inko.
In the end, Izuku had to explain to them all how he had found Eri and how she had somehow become his daughter. By the end of the explanation, everyone was either looking at him in awe or looking at Eri with small tears in their eyes.
"Midoriya you're so manly!"
"What a dark tale of anguish and sorrow…"
"You poor little thing."
Eri however just hid behind Inko as she saw all of them staring at her, making everyone slump a bit in sadness. She was still a bit guarded with other people.
"Try to give her some space, she's not used to strangers yet." Izuku asked them, making them all nod.
"Yeah, also we should get back to packing. If not, we might get home late." Kirishima pointed out, making them all hurry towards their bags to pack their stuff and start changing into other clothes as well.
Izuku sighed in relief as they all left him alone, however, it did not last as Yui nudged him to get his attention.
"Yes, Yui?" He asked
"So this is the girl you told me about?" Yui asked, referring to the time where he had explained how he had somehow adopted a child.
"Yeah, the very same one." He sighed before looking towards Momo, who had a very conflicted expression right now. "Sorry Momo, I should have told you about this as well. You must be really mad about this…."
Momo however just waved him off, "No no, it's fine. I'm just mad that you didn't tell me about this earlier." Momo frowned towards him, making him smile sheepishly.
"But still, it's clear she needs some help. And since we're in this together, I should lend a hand in helping her as well." Momo said, shocking Izuku.
"Are you sure? It's kinda asking a lot out of you."
Momo nodded with a smile, "We're gonna be heroes Izuku, helping people is our job right? Besides, you're supposed to make some compromises when you're in a relationship." She said while smiling towards Yui, something that was returned easily.
Inko cleared her throat loudly, gaining all three of their attention.
"Izuku," She smiled at him, but there seemed to be a hidden edge in it. "Do you mind explaining what she meant by a relationship?"
Izuku's face pale, realising that he did not inform her about his current love life.
"W-well, it's kinda a funny story?" Izuku sheepishly laughed, making her dangerous smile turn even wider.
His girlfriends on the other hand left him behind as they immediately turned their gaze towards Eri, leaving him to his doom.
'The hell happened to compromises?!' He mentally screamed as he gave them a pointed look.
Both deliberately avoided his eyes, they loved him and would go pretty far to show it but Izuku needed to handle his own mother's wrath on his own.
"Well, I'm sure it would make things easier for you to explain then."
Inko's words made his face pale even more as he slumped, surrendering to his imminent fate.
'This is my life now.'

You guys are one lucky motherfuckers you know that? XD If it wasn't for my birthday, you guys would be stuck with not knowing what had happened with Momo and Yui there. I'm not sure how I did here, I'm pretty sure it could be done better but again, I'm not sure.
Now before you start blasting me with how fast Eri is getting attached here, think about it for a sec. Kids are known to quickly get attached to something they like, even more so in Eri's case as the only kindness she was experiencing was only from both Izuku and Inko so far. It only made sense she would get attached to them rather quickly.
Plus Eri is in safe hands now, do you really want to complain about that? XD
Also, obligatory beach episode is fun now that I'm writing it.
Anyways, comment and review. Criticism is appreciated! These things help drive me to write each week!
See ya!
