I Trust You, Bite Me!

Izuku was beaming, his whole mood reset as he watched his fiance talk animatedly with Tsu and the man he had come to know as Gouhin. Ochako was dressed in a stunning red dress for the little party they had thrown together to celebrate their engagement, her whole form sparkling under the bright fairy lights that twinkled above their heads. It took Izuku's breath away, seeing her standing there under the lights, her smile making her face glow as she laughed at some sarcastic remark from her mentor.

Everyone had been beyond relieved and overjoyed at Ochako's safe return, all of her friends sobbing as they hugged the gravity girl, embracing her even though they knew what she was. None of them showed any fear towards her, all of them scolding her for her disappearance and making sure she never forgot their love for her. Ever since then, Ochako had gained more and more confidence every day, her weight and complexion coming back just like Izuku's were.

Ochako's parents had dropped everything once they heard she was back safely and driven to meet her immediately, sobbing with relief and thanking Izuku over and over again for his efforts to find her. Izuku had waved away their compliments, he didn't need any praise, he had searched for her with everything he had because he loved her with every fiber of his being. Izuku's smile widened even more at the memory, his eyes sparkling as he took in the sight of all of his friends and family surrounding him to celebrate both Ochako's return and their engagement.

"Wow, what a month," Iida said, startling Izuku a little, the power hero so lost in his thoughts he didn't hear his friend slide up next to him.

"Yeah, you can say that again," Izuku said, taking a sip of the champagne he held in his hand.

"How are you doing, you feeling better now?" Iida asked. He knew from the expression on his friend's face that Izuku was doing much better but he wanted to hear it from Izuku himself. A lot had happened over a short amount of time, and a lot of things were about to change about Izuku's life, he wanted to make sure that his friend was stable.

"I'm feeling better than I've ever felt, Iida, thank you for asking. I know a lot has happened and the upcoming years are going to be filled with many adventures, both good and bad, but I'm excited for it, and I know that with Ochako by my side, we can conquer anything," Izuku said sincerely, turning to look Iida in the eyes.

Iida smiled and nodded, taking a sip from his own glass.

"That's good to hear, Midoriya."

"Hey, where's Hatsume?" Izuku asked, suddenly realizing that Iida's girlfriend wasn't standing beside him. The engine hero rolled his eyes affectionately and smiled.

"She's been going around asking the other pro-heroes about their quirks and support items as usual," Iida said. "But right now she's over by Ochako and Tsu, probably asking your fiance questions about being a werewolf. I can always drag her away if you want me too," Iida said as he glanced over to where his girlfriend was talking animatedly to the two heroes, her eyes shining as she shifted from foot to foot.

Izuku glanced back and made eye-contact with Ochako who waved off his worried expression with a smile, turning to talk to Hatsume.

"No, I think she's alright, thanks though, Iida," Izuku said.

"It's my pleasure," Iida responded. "I love Hatsume but even I know she can be a bit much when she is talking about something she is really passionate about. I just don't want her to make anyone feel uncomfortable."

Izuku nodded but reassured his friend that Ochako would let him know if she was uncomfortable. Taking another sip of his drink, Izuku jerked his head at Iida and made his way over to Ochako, intent on spending some time with her before the night was over. Iida took Izuku's cue and followed his friend, preparing to drag his own girlfriend away for a dance so as to give Ochako a break and spend some quality time with his energetic lover.

As the pair got closer, Izuku caught on to some of Hatsume's and Ochako's conversation, their loud voices drifting slightly above the din of the other conversations rumbling around them.

"So how will your relationship with Izuku work with you being a werewolf and all? Are you going to bring him with you during your transformations or are you going to just leave for the night and come back?" Hatsume asked.

"Well, that all depends on what Izuku is comfortable with. If he wants to come with me, just so long as I take my medicine before the full moon, then he can come with me. I don't want to hide anything from him anymore, just so long as he can stay safe, I will let him in on everything," Ochako replied confidently, making Izuku's heart feel warm.

"What about your physical relationship?" Hatsume asked, causing Iida to tense up a little and Ochako to tilt her head in confusion.

"W-What? What do you mean?" Ochako asked.

"I mean since you guys are technically different species, can you even have children together? What kind of impact will that have on your relationship?"

Even Tsu looked a little uncomfortable with the question, the frog hero biting her lip and twiddling her thumbs.

"That's kind of a personal question, Hatsume, I know you are interested in werewolves, and most of your questions so far have been normal and respectful, but I think this kind of crosses a line, don't you think? Ribbit," Tsu said, moving to stand closer to Ochako.

Iida moved quickly before Hatsume could respond, coming up beside his girlfriend and touching her shoulder gently.

"Hey, how about a dance?" He asked casually, trying to hide the fact that he had been eavesdropping.

"Sure!" Hatsume said, waving goodbye to the two heroes and walking off with her boyfriend.

Tsu sighed and turned to face Ochako.

"Hey, are you alright?"

"Oh, I'm fine, it wasn't even that big of a deal," Ochako said. "She was just curious. It was a little personal but I honestly don't mind too much, thank you for stepping in though, it saved me the embarrassment of having to answer."

"Of course, ribbit," Tsu said. "Now go find that fiance of yours! I think he might want to have a dance with you before the night is over. I have to go find Tokoyami anyway, we'll have to head home soon to relieve the babysitter of our little baby."

"Ok I will, you have an amazing night, Tsu! Thank you for coming!" Ochako said, embracing her friend in a hug. Tsu hugged her back before waving her away with a bright smile.

That was when Izuku made his move, walking up to Ochako, pretending he had not overheard any of what Hatsume had said. He smiled at her and asked for a dance with her, something she happily accepted. The two made their way to the center of the venue and began to sway to the music, one of Izuku's hands wrapped around her waist while the other held their hands together. The weight of Ochako's hand on his shoulder made his whole body feel warm and his smile was genuine as they moved together, but Hatsume's question still stuck out in his mind, dampening his mood slightly. He knew it was something they would eventually have to talk about together, the concept of children and how her werewolf form would change that for them, but Izuku pushed it to the back of his mind as Ochako leaned her head against his chest, his heart aching with his love for her. For now, he would enjoy this moment, it didn't matter if Hatsume's question stressed him out a bit, he was content to just be here and now, with his wonderful fiance and all of his friends, celebrating their love together.


Five years. Izuku still couldn't believe they had been married for five years already. The past five years had definitely been a new experience, figuring out what Ochako was like as a werewolf, getting to experience her transformations, and even getting to meet some of her werewolf friends she had met in the woods. He loved every second of being with the woman of his dreams. Sure, there were a lot of unexpected things and he wasn't always entirely sure what he was supposed to do in certain situations but they were always there for each other, helping each other navigate through life.

Izuku sighed, his fingers clasped together on his lap as he stared at the ceiling of their now shared home, enjoying the peace and quiet. Ochako glanced over at him from where she was sitting beside him in their bed, reading a book.

"Everything okay?" Ochako asked.

"Better than okay," Izuku responded, looking over at her with a warm smile.

Ochako returned the smile, placing her book down and rolling onto her side to get a good look at her husband. Reaching out with one hand, she cupped his cheek lightly, her heart doing flips in her chest when he leaned into her touch, nuzzling her palm.

"Whatcha thinking about?"

"You," Izuku said without hesitation, smiling at the cheesiness of the whole situation. He knew it sounded cliche, but he also knew that she loved it.

Ochako giggled and gave him a loving slap on the shoulder before leaning down to kiss his cheek.

"You missed," Izuku said with a slight frown.

Ochako rolled her eyes affectionately before moving to kiss his lips. He responded eagerly, his arms snaking up to wrap around her body and hold her to him. She smiled against his lips and relaxed in his hold.

All of it made Izuku smile even wider, his heart melting with his love for her. He remembered when Ochako was hesitant to cuddle with him, afraid she would scare him now that he knew the truth about her. It had taken a lot of encouragement from him and even some begging with his irresistible puppy eyes to get her to finally hold him and allow him to hold her. He remembered the first time they cuddled and how tense she was. The fact that she was so relaxed now made pride flood through his chest, proud of the fact that she trusted him.

"I love you," He said, reaching up to stroke her hair lovingly.

"I love you too," Ochako hummed against his chest, her eyes fluttering closed at the feeling of his fingers running through her locks.

Was now a good time? Izuku looked down at his beautiful wife, her breathing evening out as she dozed off, content to rest sprawled out on top of him. His heart clenched. He wanted to talk to her about it so badly, but he was genuinely afraid of bringing up a subject she wasn't quite ready for. He had waited for five years, letting them live their lives and work as pro heroes, spending as much time as possible together. But now he was ready. He wanted kids. He had always known he was going to be a family man, and now that he had the best woman he could possibly ask for as a wife, he knew he wanted nothing more than to have her share that with him. If she would allow it, he desperately wanted children with her. But even after five years, Hatsume's question still floated in his mind.

Ochako must've felt the tension in his body because she began to stir and eventually looked up at him with concern swirling in her eyes.

"Hey, something wrong?" Ochako asked softly, reaching up to gently cup his cheek in her palm.

Izuku closed his eyes at the feeling and sucked in a deep breath. There was no going back now.

"Hey, 'Chako? Could I talk to you about something?"

"Sure thing Izuku, you can talk to me about anything, what's on your mind?"

"Well, um…, you see, I have been thinking about this for a long time and well…" Izuku berated himself for his inability to speak, his tongue twisting up as he tried to force the words out. Ochako waited patiently for him to talk to her, her large brown eyes encouraging him to continue. Taking a deep breath, Izuku opened his eyes and gazed into Ochako's face as he finally managed to get out what he wanted.

"Ochako, how do you feel about kids?"

It took everything in his power not to flinch as he felt her body freeze at the question. He really didn't want to mess this up.

"O-Oh…, Izuku, I-"

"If you're not ready for them that's totally fine!" Izuku interrupted, his voice rising an octave as he began to panic slightly. "I just wanted to talk about it because I don't know your thoughts on it. But we will do whatever you want to do, I don't want to force you into anything or-"

Now it was Ochako's turn to cut him off as she smiled at him lovingly, placing her finger over his lips gently. Izuku gazed into her chocolate hues. Gods, he could get lost in those stunning eyes of hers. But he forced himself to stay focused, his body practically humming for an answer.

Ochako sighed and her eyes lost a little bit of their usual sparkle as she glanced away from him, biting her bottom lips nervously.

"Listen, Izuku, I would absolutely love to have children with you, it's just, I don't think we can."

His heart dropped like a stone, his mind taking him back to Ochako's conversation with Hatsume all those years ago. He knew why but he felt compelled to ask anyway.

"Is it because we are technically different species?"

He saw her eyes flicker with surprise but she didn't ask how he had figured it out, she merely nodded with a depressed sigh.

"There has never once in the history of werewolves and humans been a successful conception between a human and a werewolf. Trust me, I've looked it up. Ever since a conversation I had with Hatsume at our engagement party where she brought this up, I've been trying to find a solution, but even in all of my research, I haven't found anything," Ochako said, a few stray tears slipping from her eyes.

Izuku wrapped his arms around her and held her to him as tightly as possible, burying his face in her hair as he too allowed a few tears to slide from under his lids.

"Hey, it's alright, Ochako, I'm happy that you were at least willing to try," Izuku said, searching for anything to cheer her up.

Ochako sniffled from where she had snuggled her face into his neck.

"You're too kind Izuku, I don't deserve you, but you're wrong, this is my fault. Every time I convince myself that me being a werewolf is a gift, my powers do something else to harm me or the people I love. I am so sorry Izuku."

"Stop apologizing for who you are, Ochako. I love you just the way you are, and like I said, I am happy that you were at least not turning down the idea of having kids with me. I love you, I married you for a reason, and if that means that I get to spend the rest of my life having you all to myself, then I am more than happy. I am the luckiest man alive," Izuku said confidently, stroking her hair in an effort to comfort her.

Ochako began to press light kisses on his neck, pouring her gratitude and love for the man underneath her into her affections. Izuku took it in stride, kissing the top of her head. He meant what he said but as the two eventually sat up to make some food, Izuku could not erase the idea of a family from his head.


The sun was starting to set but rather than go to sleep like the rest of the people around them, Izuku and Ochako were making their way outside, heading straight for the woods that bordered their home.

"You took your pills, right?" Izuku asked Ochako softly. He had full faith in his wife to be responsible with her abilities, but she had asked him to remind her just in case, her heart still full of hate for herself at hurting him all those years ago.

"Yes," She said confidently, although her slight swallow of nervousness did not go unnoticed.

Izuku reached down and gently grasped her left hand, giving it a comforting squeeze as the sun dipped below the horizon. Ochako smiled at him and squeezed his hand back before releasing him to enter the woods alone. Izuku waited patiently as the full moon peeked it's face over the surrounding hills, the bright light making his skin glow. The snapping of a twig caught Izuku's attention, and he looked down to see a large wolf with chocolate brown fur waiting for him at the edge of the treeline, her ears pricked and her tail wagging slightly at the sight of him.

Izuku smiled at her and made his way to her, following her into the forest and onto the beaten path the pair always took during her transformations. They walked in silence, merely enjoying the sounds of the wood and each other's company. Every once in a while, Ochako's tail would sweep by Izuku, brushing his legs as if reminding herself that he was still with her. Izuku would always lean down to scratch her ears in response, oftentimes earning a low keening sound in return.

The pair walked until they broke through the trees and crested a large hill, both of them panting a little once they made their way to the top. They always liked to come here during Ochako's transformations. It was a place out of the dark yet quiet serenity of the woods where they could overlook the city and relax under the vast expanse of the star-streaked sky.

Ochako immediately made herself at home, bounding around and pouncing on small lightning bugs, playing around as if she were a puppy. Izuku chuckled as she tore through the flowers that rested on the hill's surface, closing her eyes as they brushed her face. Settling down beneath a nearby tree, Izuku leaned back against the trunk and watched his wife enjoy herself, her joyful face and wagging tail bringing warmth to his heart. Despite her happiness though, a small part of Izuku always wished he could be a part of it. He knew Ochako hated being a werewolf, but that was mostly because of the discrimination and the constant chance of harming someone she loves. When she was in her wolf form, she was genuinely the most happy. He knew she loved being in her wolf form, she was so carefree, so joyful, so playful, it made his heart pang that he couldn't bound beside her, couldn't play with her.

A thought skittered across his mind. It was a thought he had had many times before but had alway shot down, knowing Ochako would be completely against it. But now, as he watched his wife nip at the lightning bugs playfully, jumping up to snap at them before landing on a bed on flowers and stirring up more, the idea seemed increasingly more appealing. By the time Ochako padded over to curl up at his side, exhausted, Izuku was almost ready to burst with his request. He needed to ask her tonight. No more putting it off. He knew she would be upset, might yell at him, might even slap him for suggesting what he wanted to suggest, but he knew he had to do it.

"Hey, um Ochako?" Izuku asked as she laid her head in his lap, her tail beating the ground weakly.

"Can I ask you something?"

A quiet yip was his response.

"Will you bite me?"

Ochako's head immediately shot up and she began to back away, her wide eyes telling him that she thought he was scared of her. Panic immediately set into his system. He didn't mean to make it sound like that.

"Wait wait wait! Ochako! I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that, I was asking, can you bite me?"

Ochako stopped backing away from him, her jaw dropping and her ears flying forward in astonishment. Then a low growl permeated the air as she pulled herself together, her ears flattening to her head in anger. Her answer was as clear as day but Izuku was not willing to give up just yet.

"Come on, Ochako, please? I want you to make me into a werewolf."

Ochako sat down on the ground firmly and let out a low snarl in response.

"I want you to do this for me, I've been thinking about it for a long time and I really want to share this with you. I know what you deal with everyday but I am willing to do it because I want to do it by your side. I have done my best to support you but I know I can't do that completely until you let me do this. Please, I want this for myself, for us. I trust you."

Ochako pinned her ears and growled again but followed it up with a whimper.

"Please, 'Chako…" Izuku said, standing up and making his way over to her.

"Please," He said when he saw her stand to move away from him again, this time to make sure she didn't do the one thing she feared the most. "You won't hurt me, I know you won't."

Ochako shook her head and whimpered.

"Please, I genuinely want this. I want to be able to experience being with you when you are like this. I am tired of feeling separated from you. I almost lost you once and I will not lose you again. I want to be able to properly protect you, I want to be a part of your life in every way possible. You are my wife, and I want to make sure you are safe and never feel alone when you are like this, never again. This is something I am ready for, it's my choice, please."

He could tell she was thinking about it. Her ears were constantly rotating and her tail was swishing anxiously back and forth.

Kneeling on the ground directly in front of her, Izuku gently grasped her jaw in one hand and placed his arm directly onto her teeth, just allowing it to rest in her mouth. She did not close her jaws but she did not move away either, her eyes bearing into his.

"You know, if we do this, we will be able to fulfill our dream of having kids together," Izuku said softly, his gaze meeting hers. He knew she was scared, he would be lying if he said he wasn't a bit scared either, but he wanted this, more than anything.

Another whimper, soft and barely audible reached his ears.

"I trust you, bite me."

Ochako closed her eyes, her ears flat against her head and her tail tucked between her legs, but she took a deep breath, making her decision. Izuku managed to rein in his hiss of pain at the feeling of her fangs sinking into the flesh of his arm, biting his tongue to cover up the sound. The last thing he wanted was to scare her away with his pain. Ochako kept her fangs lodged in his arm for only a moment, giving her venom just enough time to enter his bloodstream before she removed them, her eyes softening with worry when Izuku flinched slightly at the feeling.

"I'm alright, Ochako, I promise."

Ochako whined but nuzzled his palm, worry still coursing through her. Izuku gently patted her head and scratched behind her ears before standing up and beckoning for her to follow him home, the sky starting to lighten with the early morning.

Ochako followed her husband all the way home but trailed behind him slightly, refusing to partake in their usual light touches and quiet conversations, her heart wracked with guilt as she watched his form strut ahead of her. The pair made it to their back door just as the sun was peeking over the horizon once more, the light forcing Ochako to change back into her human form.

Ochako made a beeline for their bedroom to put on some clothes as soon as her transformation back into a person was complete, Izuku making his way into the kitchen to make them some breakfast. Once she was decent again, Ochako shuffled into the kitchen and plopped down beside Izuku, her eyes gazing at his handsome face. She didn't say a word, eating her breakfast hurriedly before heading back into their bedroom alone, her form stiff and her eyes slightly glazed with unshed tears.


Izuku sighed and placed an arm over his face in annoyance. It had been a week since Ochako had spoken to him, always leaving the room just as he entered it, driving off to work without waiting for him. He had reached over to the other side of the bed out of habit, only to find his hand clutching cold, empty sheets instead of the warm body of his wife for the eighth time this week, his heart growing heavy when his fingers grasped at nothing but thin air. He was tired of this, tired of the constant hiding. He had a feeling she was more angry at herself than at him, something he desperately wished to correct.

Izuku honestly just wanted his wife back. He missed her dearly, missed cuddling her, kissing her, comforting her, being held by her, he wanted everything back. He knew she was confused, scared, and hurting, but he couldn't think of a proper way to calm her down, to let her know that everything was going to be alright.

Sitting up with a groan, Izuku made a decision, this was ending today. He wanted, no, needed his wife back, and he wasn't going to stop at anything to do that. Grabbing his phone, Izuku called his agency and phoned in sick before getting out of bed to put his plan into place.

Ochako shuffled up the porch steps to their humble home, completely drained from her duties at the hero agency she ran. She wanted nothing more than to curl up with Izuku, using him as her personal pillow and living furnace until she drifted off to sleep in his warm embrace. But she knew she couldn't do that, not when she had done what she had done to him. She still couldn't believe she had let him talk her into it.

She knew he had no idea what he was asking for, that he had used his knowledge of her fears and passions to convince her that this was a good idea. But she knew, in her heart, that what she had done to her perfect husband was beyond horrific, and there was nothing she could do about it. She constantly berated herself, she had panicked like this all those years ago when she had almost turned him the first time, why didn't she remember that feeling when he asked her to turn him a week ago? She surely remembered it now as panic coursed through her veins, lighting her heart on fire and making it difficult for her to breathe.

Forcing herself to calm down, Ochako sucked in a deep breath and pushed open the door, praying that Izuku was still working late like he usually was so she could quickly make them dinner and then slip into bed before he got home. Sneaking in, she placed her bag in the entry hall and padded into the kitchen, keeping her footsteps light and quick. She was so busy trying to find a meal that could be made quickly that she failed to hear the light footsteps come up behind her.

"Ochako," Izuku said softly, causing the gravity hero to leap out of her skin. Ochako whirled around to see her husband leaning against the doorway to the kitchen, his arms crossed and his eyes sparkling as he looked at her seriously.

"'Zuku! I-I'm sorry I didn't know you were already h-home," Ochako cursed herself for stuttering but pushed past it, desperately trying to find a way to escape this situation.

"I actually stayed home today, I wanted a chance to talk with you but I knew I'd be held up at the agency, so I waited here until you could come home."

Ochako's jaw dropped. Izuku never skipped out on work, in fact, she had discovered that she often had to force him to stay home when he felt sick. Izuku's lips curved slightly at the sight of her gaping mouth but he reined in the urge to smile completely, this was a serious conversation and he didn't want her to find any way to skip out on it.

"Please, sit with me, talk with me," Izuku said, moving from the doorway to settle down in one of the barstools lining the island.

Ochako hesitated but eventually, slowly, made her way over to him, sitting down in the chair beside him. Her eyes wouldn't quite meet his gaze but Izuku relaxed a bit when she didn't run from him again.

Silence weighed heavily in the air for a pregnant moment, neither of them too keen on starting the conversation despite the elephant in the room. Ochako found it harder to breathe and she had to force herself to focus on each breath as the silence stretched on. She stared straight ahead, her eyes trained on the granite of the island top, as she twiddled her thumbs, trying to find the right words to say. Izuku was in a similar boat. He had spent all day memorizing a speech he had written for her, practicing it all day as he cleaned the house and made his meals, but as soon as he had seen for, genuinely seen her for the first time in a week, all of the words he had prepared had flown from his brain, leaving his tongue tied and his brain fried.

"Why did you ask for that, you idiot?" Ochako asked suddenly. She used teasing words but her tone was heavy.

"Because I meant what I said, I want to share this with you and protect you, it's well worth the cost."

"No, Izuku, it's not. You have no idea what you asked for, how drastically your life will change now. I am still beyond angry with myself for giving in, but it's too late for regrets now, you will change into a werewolf in the next three weeks, and you are going to realize the magnitude of the mistake you have made," Ochako said.

"I am well aware of how much my life will change, Ochako. I live with you, my little werewolf. I have experienced every transformation since we have gotten married, been with you every step of the way, even through the darker patches. I know what I am getting myself into. Stop beating yourself up for something I asked of you. I want this. I need this. I chose to do this for a reason," Izuku said, turning to face her as he spoke.

Ochako shook her head sadly, her bangs swinging as she moved.

"Izuku-"

"Listen, Ochako," Izuku said, grasping onto her shoulders with both hands and turning her to face him, looking her full in the face with his sparkling eyes. "I know you're scared, I know you blame yourself, but stop. Just like you said, its too late for regrets now, so let's not regret this. Let's not regret anything. I wanted this for a reason, and that reason is so I can be closer to you, to build a family with you, to be a part of your life in every single way. I trust you to show me the ropes and help support me through things, just as I have done for you. I refuse to drift further apart from you because of this. I love you, I love you more than anything, and I will not go back on this decision. It is my choice, and I choose you."

Ochako was too shocked and touched to speak. Tears began to slide down her cheeks and Izuku leaned forward to kiss them away. Her heart burst with every soft touch of his lips to her skin, the feeling leaving a tingling trail in its wake.

"I love you, never forget that," Izkuk said.

Ochako didn't hesitate, launching forward to seal his lips with hers. Izuku grunted in slight surprise but responded back with matching eagerness, groaning at the feeling of her against him again.

"I just feel so scared, Izuku. What if you hate being a werewolf? You can't change what you are. What if you hate me when you figure out you don't like it? What if we do go ahead and decide to have a family? Do we really want to put this curse on some poor, innocent child? I'm just so scared…," Ochako murmured.

"Hey, listen to me, Ochako. I could never, NEVER hate you. No matter what, I will always love you. And I know I will love every second of being a werewolf like you, especially since I get to experience it with you every time. As for a child, I know for a fact that although it may be harder in this society, I would be prouder than ever to have a kid who was like you. Someone who was a combination of the two of us? It's something I've wanted for years and being a werewolf will not change that. And hey, since we both have this ability, our child will have the perfect teachers to help them along on their journey through life, okay?" Izuku soothed, running his fingers through her hair as she embraced him, snuggling her face into his chest.

Hiccuping slightly and nodding, Ochako closed her eyes and cuddled as close to Izuku as she possibly could.

"T-Thank you, 'Zuku, I love you so much, more than you will ever know."

Izuku smiled and leaned down to pick up his beautiful wife, his arms curling around her form to hold her close to his chest.

"It's my pleasure, Ochako, always."

Izuku knew the road ahead was going to be long and winding, a difficult path to trek, but with Ochako by his side, he was confident he could accomplish anything. As Ochako snuggled even closer into his side, drifting off to sleep under the covers, Izuku knew he had made the right choice. For her, he was willing to do anything, and being a werewolf? What could go wrong?

Izuku smiled to himself as he too drifted off to sleep, his mind filled with images of two young wolves bounding through a field of flowers in the dead of night.
