-TIME SKIP (1.5 years later) Rose's POV-

I smiled as I finished up decorating our new apartment. Since Toshinori would be starting a new job this coming school year at his alma mater, U.A. High School, we had decided to move a little closer to the school for convenience sake. As I pulled out a photo, I couldn't hide my teenage like swoon and 100 watt smile that I had picked up from Toshinori.
Inside the picture frame was a picture of Toshinori and I at our wedding almost a year and a half ago. We had had a tiny ceremony with a handful of guests including Nezu, Aizawa, Hizashi, Naomasa Tsukauchi, oh and this little old guy called Gran Torino that for some reason terrified Toshinori. It was almost comical. None of the Todorokis came as we wanted Toshinori to be able to be in his usual form so that he wouldn't strain himself (Also we didn't want Enji-nii-san to set anything on fire). Plus, I personally preferred him in his normal form, a fact the man himself still could not seem to get wrapped his head wrapped around.

That day had been simple, but perfect. We did a quick ceremony at the local courthouse with me in a knee length white dress that was very reminiscent of the dress that I had worn the night Toshinori had proposed to me. Toshinori wore gray slacks with a white dress shirt and a red tie. Our vows were the same simple ones that had been used a million times before with Toshinori adding a small extra part about promising to make me smile the best he could everyday. It was cheesy and sweet, and my face was red the entire time.

Then Nezu and the faculty at U.A. had put together a small reception for us at which Hizashi got absolutely shit faced (though we didn't think there was enough alcohol for that to even happen), and Aizawa had to carry his drunk, loud ass boyfriend home before I fried the blond with my wings for giving me a migraine. But all in all my anger was in good fun, and the day was absolutely perfect in my eyes.

Toshinori had even surprised me with a weeklong honeymoon trip to Kyoto where we stayed in one of the traditional ends up there away from the hustle and bustle of city life. This was a nice change of pace for me since I had grown up in a small town in the U.S. Kyoto is also a city full of history and culture which was something I had a great passion for considering my bachelors degree was in foreign cultures. All in all, it was obvious that my now-husband had done a lot of thinking, and it was frankly as perfect as he was in my eyes.

Snapping out of my daze, I rolled my eyes at how cheesy I was being. Yes, I had been married before, but it still surprised me how absolutely lovesick I got over Toshinori. It was downright embarrassing at times. I sighed to myself with a rueful smile as I hung the picture up on the wall and checked the time on my phone. 3:12PM. Yes, I still worked at the middle school, but they rearranged my schedule so that my last period was free for me to go home.

Well actually, it was for me to go to my second job, which I had to be out the door for in 18 minutes. I had been trying to wait for Toshinori to get back from getting the groceries for dinner, but it looks like he must have had something hold him up. I'd just fix something quick when I got back. With that thought, I rushed back to our room to get ready for my next job.

Ten minutes later, I was in the sky, my once pure white flaming wings now a mix of white and blue. As I had progressed with my quirk training, my fire had grown hotter causing my wings now to have wisps of blue fire throughout them. Suddenly, a voice cut through my earpiece.

"Lady Icarys, ma'am! There's been word a sighting of the sludge villain that was seen earlier near Onadera Junior High School!" the secretary at Endeavor's hero agency said with urgency. With that information I thanked the secretary and secured my simple white and red protective glasses that were covering my eyes and changed direction towards the school.

That's right. I was now a hero. I had passed my licensing exam after over a year of training with Endeavor and Hawks and studying under the strict teaching of Aizawa. After that, there are no doubts in my mind about the validity of the horror stories I had heard about the strict underground hero turned teacher. The guy was a slave driver, but his methods worked and I passed my licensing exam on my first try. I had chosen a simple hero name, just going with the name of my quirk. Toshinori was a bit apprehensive about it since All for One had targeted me for it before, but I was adamant that it would be fine since Toshinori had already defeated him.

Anyways, as I headed towards the school, I came across a sight that shocked me. There was Toshinori, in his hero form, standing under a bridge, with a kid passed out in front of him. Worried about the kid and my husband, I quickly descending to them with a small wave and a smile.

"Good afternoon, All Might. What's going on here?" I asked, trying to act formal until I recognized the kid who was once passed out, coming to as Toshinori patted the side of his cheek quickly, "Izuku?" Suddenly the green haired boy's eyes went wide as he quickly backed up from Toshinori. I suppressed a giggle. Izuku had always been a huge All Might fanboy from what I understood, and now his hero was right in front of him.

"A-All Might!?" Izuku stuttered causing me to giggle and him to turn to me, "L-Lady Icarys?!" All Might let out a hearty laugh, but I noticed that he was starting to shake a bit. Shit. He was coming towards the end of his hero time frame.

"Thought I'd lost you there! So glad you're okay, young man! Now, I must be going!" he announced quickly as he got ready to jump into the air to no doubt find a place to turn back out of the public eye. Without him realizing, as he jumped, Midoriya grabbed his pants leg. I sighed to myself. Oh well. Toshinori could handle one fanboy even if it was a super fanboy like Midoriya. With that thought, I flew off in the opposite direction to continue my patrol and notified Endeavor's secretary that All Might had taken care of the sludge villain.

-TIME SKIP (After Rose's Patrol) Rose POV-

It was getting later in the afternoon. Enji-nii had called me an hour into my patrol, telling me to head home because he wanted to continue the patrol for the day. That had worried me because it could only mean that Shoto and he had gotten into it… again… There was concern on that front, but there was a bigger issue than that for me. Toshinori still had not reached home. Even with taking the sludge villain to the station and doing the paperwork for it, he should have reached home well before me. I had already cooked dinner when I finally got a call. My heart leaped. It was Toshinori.

"Toshinori, where are you? Are you okay?" I inquired nervously. Lately using quirk has seemed to really be doing a number on his body, and it was really worrying me.

"Rose dear, I'm fine. Have you seen the news?" he asked, his tone a little nervous, but he sounded okay. I grew suspicious.

"No… I've been working on dinner. Why? Is there something on there you don't want me to see?" I questioned, suspicion clear in my tone.

"Ahh… Not really… That is… I may have pushed past my limit today because the sludge villain escaped and had captured a child and Young Midoriya tried to save the other kid. So I may have turned back to my hero form after my time limit was up to save them," Toshinori explained quickly, and I felt my temperature spike along with my temper. My wings flared out a bit, but I stopped them and retracted them before anything could catch on fire.

"Toshinori Yagi," I growled angrily and I could practically feel his nervousness across the phone, "Where are you right now?" He laughed nervously.

"I am outside of Young Midoriya's apartment. I asked him to be my successor for One for All," he admitted, and I lost it, my wings sprung out and scorched the nearby kitchen chair, turning it to ash in seconds.

"You what?!" I yelled, "Don't you think you could at least talk to me about these sort of things especially before choosing one of MY STUDENTS?!" The pause on the other end of the phone told me Toshinori knew I was pissed, but in reality, I was just worried. Toshinori put himself in a lot of danger and pain by pushing his time limit. Then, he decides to give a quirk with such power to such a timid child like Midoriya. I was worried for both of them, but I was not always the best at expressing that so anger was the best I could do at the moment.

"Rose, sweetie, I know you're worried, and I'm sorry that I caused you to be upset. I'll be home soon. We'll talk more then," Toshinori said sweetly and in a comforting tone as he tried to calm me down, "I love you, my dear. I'll be home as soon as I can." I hummed in response before hanging up, not saying goodbye or I love you back.

Something that ate away at me, but there was this terrible feeling in my gut. Part of me knew it was fear from all the people I had lost before, but there was another layer to it: guilt. I had noticed Midoriya holding onto Toshinori's leg. If I had followed and intervened, I could've prevented both of them being put in danger. What the hell kind of hero doesn't make the right decision and then snaps at their spouse when it backfires?

At the thought, I ran to our room and buried my face into the pillows on Toshinori's side of the bed, inhaling the familiar and comforting scent that always seemed to help ground me from full on panic attacks, which I currently was quite close to having. My panic attacks never did go away, but Toshinori and I had figured out that when I panicked, anything that made it feel like he was nearby significantly reduced the severity of the panic attacks so going to his side of the bed when I was stressed had become a sort of habit for me when he wasn't available. Unable to do anything else at this point, I let out a yell that quickly turned into a sob as tears fell down my face.

I was scared. Scared of all the changes that were happening in mine and Toshinori's lives. Scared of what this meant for the safety and happiness of my sweet and radiant husband. And more than anything: Scared of losing him just like I had all the loved ones I had before him. And if there was one thing I had become quite certain of in our last year and a half of marriage, it was that losing Toshinori would be the loss that would finally break me.

A/N-

Sorry to everyone that was hoping for some super descriptive wedding chapter. I just figured with the secrecy of Toshinori's hero form and the fact that Rose doesn't have many people she is close to in Japan as well as her distaste for fancy events and such, doing a quick overview would be more than adequate for now. In the future, I may do a flashback of the event, but for now, I really wanted to get to where the anime starts. Thank you all for your support and understanding! :)
