Seven months have passed and it has been interesting, to say the least. Izuku got the gist of his Quirk down and found that he had some weaknesses. He had to consume a large amount of calories for his fire which is about 6,000 or more depending on his usage. He also has to keep a certain temperature to keep functioning so anything below 60 degrees is dangerous, 70 if he is soaked with water. That gave him an idea of making his costume both water-resistant and thermic like a wetsuit.

Another is that his fire is surrounding his organs so which means that the flame itself is what is keeping him alive. Another reason why the outfit needs to be perfect, his core needs to stay above 105 to function.

At least he knows his limitations, and with that knowledge, he can make his own notebook on his quirk. He also has a name for it.

Agneya. Blessed by Fire.

It seemed perfect as his flame is not only a regenerator, but it also can be used in the offensive. It is also surprising that he is the first person in the world 'on record' that his flames heal. It only heals himself but maybe someday, his flames can heal others.

Izuku was drawing the details of his outfit when he received a phone call. "Hello?"

"Hey, Nerd. Forgot what day it is?"

Izuku scrunched up his face in both fear and frustration. "Yes, I know what day it is, Kacchan. Not sure if I want to celebrate it though."

"I can understand that." He heard Katsuki sigh, and the verdanette knew he understood. "I am hoping after training today we may at least come over tonight and make you some Bakugou Curry."

That perked Izuku up. "I haven't had your curry in ages! That would be awesome!"

"Heh, thought you would like that."

Izuku giggled, now looking forward to having something good tonight. He then heard Mitsuki from the background.

"Katsuki! Hurry your ass up and come down here!"

He could hear the blonde's teeth grit in frustration. "Sorry, Zuku. The Hag is calling me, talk to you later."

"Ok, Kacchan! You take care! Bye!" Izuku hung up the phone and sighed deeply. Of course, he had not forgotten. He had dreaded it, bringing back bad memories of what was done on those days.

It was his birthday.

He did not want to celebrate his birthday at all, just move on like it never existed. However, Ophelia, Murdock, and Eevee asked if he can have one just for today and they would invite the Bakugou's and if possible, Periwinkle.

The verdanette was hesitant at first, but then Eevee activated her Guilt-Trip mode. How can he say no to that squishy Eevee face?

So he decides to please them for today. Besides, since she is not around, his 15th birthday should be easier, right?

He sighed again and left his room, feeling the need for some company. He had been needier for contact, and when the verdanette mentioned the feeling to Ophelia, the serpentine mentioned that it is common for those who were neglected. She understood that he was touch-starved.

I know they want to make it nice, but I hate birthdays…

Meanwhile, Katsuki was looking at his phone with sad worry. He had heard the growl and frustration when he mentioned Izuku's birthday. He doesn't blame the Nerd's reaction in the slightest.

Blame the fat whale for that.

The image of the video he saw in court flashed in the blonde's mind and upon instinct, he created a blast to relieve the tension. The phone was still intact.

Gotta love Nokia phones.

So much for trying to give the Nerd a good birthday. He thought bitterly and walked down the stairs. I knew this would be touchy. At least I will make curry for him tonight.

Walking down the stairs to see what his mother wanted this morning he was about to yell when he saw a petite female sitting in the living room with the Hag. It took a few seconds to realize once he saw the icy-purple eyes that it was the Judge.

Oh fuck.

"Why are you here?" Katsuki said casually, then dodged a pillow that was sent flying from his mother.

"Katsuki! This is the judge! Mind your manners!" Mitsuki yelled then got cut off as Periwinkle laughed.

"Relax, I already know his personality. Me being here is scaring him."

"I'm not scared!"

"See?" Periwinkle added and the two females laughed as the poor blonde just stewed there, broiling.

"All kidding aside, Katsuki, can you come here for a sec? I have something to show you." Periwinkle pointed towards the seat in front of her. She saw that he was glaring at her with caution before doing what she had asked him to do.

"What is it?"

"I figured I want to show you something before we head towards the Serpentine's, something special."

"Yeah brat, and don't hold back when you cry. God knows I need a laugh."

"I ain't crying for shit!" Bakugou was getting pissed. Why are they expecting him to cry?

Periwinkle smiled and handed Katsuki the folder. Looking at it with curiosity he stood there for a moment before the petite judge jolted it upwards to get his attention. That seemed to work as the blonde took the parchment and opened it.

At first, it was confusing with all the words and legal shit but after reading the files, confusion turned into disbelief then followed shortly by excitement. He looked at the duo who was looking back at him with smiles. "Are you fucking serious!?"

Mitsuki and Periwinkle nodded and Katsuki was laughing and crying at the same time. They were right, he was going to cry.

Later that evening everyone arrived at the Serpentine's and Izuku was wearing a green bunny headband, courtesy of Eevee. He looked cute.

"Those ears look good on ya, Nerd." Katsuki smirked and saw Izuku's face turn red. The verdanette was about to reply before Eevee came next to him and had an evil smirk.

"Eevee made a headband for PomPom too!" Eevee giggled and put them on his head. He then shook and had a blush on his face as he realized they were dog ears the same shade as his hair.

Mitsuki giggled and took a picture of her son with the ears pulled back in obedience. "Now that's what I call a good puppy.

"Shut it, Hag!"

She smacks him on the back of the head. "Heel!"

The group laughed as Katsuki sat down in defeat. He was pissed, but the laughter from Izuku and Eevee was making it tolerable.

Serpentine came out of the kitchen. "Hey everyone! Katsuki you got the ingredients? The kitchen is ready for you."

"Aight, dinner will be ready in about 2 hours. Once everything is ready to stew we can open presents, right?" The blonde asked, and Izuku nodded.

"Sure, it will also be easier as I won't get the curry on anything. I remember being quite messy from your food."

"Heh, oh yeah, I remember. Surprised me at first, then I accepted it because you kept asking for more." Katsuki smirked as he received a blush from Izuku. "I'll be back."

Ophelia and Katsuki started the ingredients and prepared the dinner while the others went to the living room feeding on fruit and tea. Perfect before a heavy meal.

Then once the stewing began the present opening came next. Izuku received some good breathing techniques from Ophelia and Murdock, as well as a cookbook of calorie-rich foods. Periwinkle gave him several advanced trivia on Heroes around the world, and Recovery Girl gave him a wide assortment of high-calorie treats.

"Eevee's turn to give BunBun a gift!" Eevee yelled enthusiastically, causing the verdanette to blush at the new nickname. He hopes she won't do that all the time as she does for Katsuki. Then again, her persona and fluffiness just melt your heart.

She handed Izuku a big box and it felt light despite the size. The verdanette looked at the box in excitement, eyeing the details of the different colored stones on the wrapper. He then tore open the wrapping and once he opened the lid he let out a squeal of excitement.

"Ohmygosh, Eevee these are amazing!"

In the box were crocheted Heroes, neatly in order with their costumes.

"Daredevil, Ophiuchi, Recovery Girl…These are adorable!" Izuku continued, picking them up and hugging each one. He was being adorable, even Katsuki thought it was priceless as he was recording the event.

"Are?" The verdanette blinked at something at the bottom of the box, hidden from the Plushies above them. It took him a few moments before he started to tear up and call up to his friend. "Kacchan…"

That caught the blonde's attention and he walked towards Izuku. "What is it, Zuku?"

He picked up another hero and the blonde jolted in shock at the plush.

"Eevee made you in the outfit I designed for you!" His smile was wide and he was glowing like a supernova. "I got your first Hero collection!"

Everyone cooed and Katsuki was looking at the plush in detail. It looked just like him and the outfit was in such detail from the mask to his green grenade gauntlets. He was surprised.

"You made this?" He asked the Eevette and she just smiled with her tail wagging. "That is spot-on perfect."

"Vee? Th-thank you!" Eevee replied with a blush, now wagging her tail more wildly.

"Thank you, Eevee-chan!" Izuku said while giving the girl a tight hug. "These are fantastic."

"You're welcome, BunBun. Eevee is happy you love them."

Mitsuki then came up with a small flat box. "Alright, Little Mochi, it is our turn."

The blonde female held up the box and Izuku took it and tore open the box. Once he had opened it he saw a thick frame with some kind of paper inside it.

Blinking a few times, he picked up the frame and started to read. His eyes widened and started to tear. "No way…"

They were adoption papers. Notarized by Judge Periwinkle, after seven months of waiting he thought there might have been a snag. However, it is now in his hands, legit. His eyes started to lose focus.

*Hic**Hic* "I-I…" Izuku tried hard to keep the tears from falling as he reread the paperwork in his hands. His body felt hot not like the anger in his stomach, but more like the sun itself decided to ignite inside his heart. It felt warm, kind, peaceful, happy, the kind of happiness that he for sure would never have felt if things didn't happen the way they did.

Yet it still felt like this was a dream, after so many years he has been in hell, even if there were people who helped him, it was so much to take in the positive. Yet again, in his hands were the official documents of adoption, signed by the Bakugous, with his name.

Izuku Midoriya-Bakugou.

"Hiiiaaaa~!" The dam had finally broken and for the first time in years, he cried instead of fear but in pure joy. He's been officially adopted by the family who showed care to him first. Mitsuki hugged him in a firm yet comforting embrace, showing that whatever happens, she will not let go.

Katsuki sat next to Eevee while subtly wiping his eyes at his friend/brother's first sign of happiness. He too was happy that they were able to adopt the Nerd despite what he has done in the past. The blonde then looked at Eevette as she too cried in happiness, giving the verdanette the space to cry his eyes out. This was the sound that the blonde would gladly tolerate.

Happy Birthday, Izuku.
