-Rose's POV-

Warm arms wrapped around my waist pulling me into a thin but muscular chest, and I scrunched my eyes closed, not wanting to face my husband after snapping at him on the phone earlier. One of his hands moved from waist to gently stroke my hair as I felt Toshinori press his thin lips to the crown of my head.

"Rose, dear, I know you're awake," he stated gently as I tensed up, "Can you please turn and look at me?" I turned around and opened my eyes which were swollen from all the crying I had done, but I refused to meet gazes with the man laying beside me.

"Rose, I'm not mad at you. You're worried, and you were caught off guard because I made a huge decision without talking to you. I'm sorry about that by the way," Toshinori said sweetly, starting to ramble in his attempt to make me feel better. Not wanting him to feel bad or continue on his rambling, I looked up and pressed my chapped lips to his in a chaste kiss before pulling away and taking a deep breath.

"I am worried, Toshinori, but you had every right to make the decision about One for All by yourself. I just know that by passing it along, you are going to be getting even more vulnerable. Also, Izuku is such a timid kid… I don't know how he'll handle it," I admitted before laying my head on his chest and wrapping my arms around him and saying softly, "I'm also terrified of losing you, Toshinori… I don't know what I would do if I did."

I felt Toshinori tense up a bit at my confession before he relaxed and cupped my cheek gently guiding my gaze to his. His ocean blue eyes flickered with electricity, the proof of One for All, but what caught me off guard was his unusual expression. He may not smile constantly when not in his hero form, but it was still rare to see him looking so incredibly intense.

"I'm not going anywhere, Rose. You won't have to be alone again. I promise I won't make you go through that again," he said, his deep voice strong, his eyes serious. I sighed.

"Don't make promises you can't keep, Toshinori. You're the Symbol of Peace. Your life is in danger everyday," I stated bluntly. He frowned at this before pulling me into a deep and passionate kiss that threw me for a loop. Too soon, the kiss was over and he pressed his forehead to mine affectionately.

"I guess I'll just have to make sure I keep my promise then," he responded, his voice so full of conviction that I couldn't help but believe him as he pressed another loving kiss on my lips, "I love you, Rose Yagi." My face flushed at this. Even after being married for a year and a half, him calling me by his last name still made my heart flutter, and when he did it in English as well, it only made me swoon more. Something about hearing someone say they love you in your native language speaks to the heart, especially when its different than their own.

"I love you too, Toshinori Yagi," I responded, my voice strong and sincere as I allowed my eyes to leave his as I laid my head back onto his firm chest, taking comfort in the sound of his strong heartbeat. Toshinori kept one arm wrapped around my waist and the other entangled in my long ginger hair as he held me close, rubbing small comforting circles on my back. After a couple of minutes, Toshinori broke the silence.

"Would you like to be involved in Young Midoriya's training? It might give you some peace of mind to help," he said considerately before adding, "Plus, I could use some help with coming up with his nutrition needs and diet plans." I smiled at his willingness and wanting to involve me in Izuku's training, and if I was honest, it would help me feel a bit better.

"Sure. The semester will end in a couple of months anyways. My lesson plans are already written too. When do you start his training?" I asked curiously, silently thankful for my tendency to overplan when it came to my job at the school.

"Ah… About that, I might have told him to meet me at the beach that was trashed starting uh… tomorrow morning at 5am," Toshinori admitted nervously causing me to groan. He chuckled. I hated waking up early, and Toshinori was well aware of it.

"How about I start helping on Monday? That will give you two more of a chance to bond and get to know each other without seeing his English teacher with his hero. Give me a copy of his training schedule that you have planned, and I will write a generalized nutrition guide tonight, and I'll have the specified one by tomorrow afternoon," I suggested, also thinking that I could enjoy my last day to sleep in for a while as well. Toshinori chuckled.

"Great idea as always, Rose. I'm sure it has absolutely nothing to do with wanting to sleep in instead of being up that early," he teased. I smirked at him and shook my head childishly.

"Nope," I replied, popping the 'p', "Absolutely nothing to do with that." At that, we both laughed as we got up to go eat dinner before bed.

~~~~~TIME SKIP (Monday 520AM)~~~~~~~

"Toshinori, are we sure this is a good idea?" I asked with a yawn. I was worried about how strict of a schedule he had Izuku on. The kid would crash and burn if he did not follow the instructions exactly as they were written. Toshinori had asked me to do the same with his meal plan, but I would be lying if I didn't sneak in a few meals here or there that would supplement him if he decided to go overboard.

"Of course, Rose! He may be a fanboy and a bit of a crybaby, but Young Midoriya has the heart of a hero!" Toshinori responded enthusiastically as we stood on the beach waiting for the boy in question. I decided to have a bit of fun and hide behind some of the trash, so Izuku couldn't see me. Smiling a bit to myself, I activated my quirk and allowed a white flame to burn on the tip of my pointer finger. This was a new trick I had been practicing with Enji-nii, and now seemed like a good chance to play around with it.

"All Might!" I heard the enthusiastic voice of everyone's favorite fanboy yell out excitedly as he ran up to where Toshinori was.

"Shh kid! Don't call me that when I'm in this form. You'll draw attention that none of us really want," Toshinori scolded the boy.

"R-right! Sorry, All Might…" he sounded kind of sad at that. Sigh. This kid's gonna have a rough time becoming a hero being so sensitive.

Deciding to break the tension before Toshi panicked (he doesn't do as well with upset kids when he's not in his hero form), I decided to poke my head out from behind the destroyed fridge I was currently hiding behind and shoot a tiny fireball from the tip of my pointer finger causing Izuku to squeal and jump back looking around for a potential threat looking scared but determined. Hmm… Now I see what Toshinori means… He's scared, but he doesn't want to let anyone else get hurt either. This is gonna be interesting. I smirked to myself as I started to step out from behind the fridge. Toshinori looked at me with an amused smile.

"You're pretty quick on your feet, Young Midoriya. Not bad reflexes at all! Now, there is someone I wanted to introduce you to," Toshinori said as he looked at me with a loving smile causing my face to flush a bit. He really was something else. I returned his smile before turning to see that Izuku had recovered and had now met my emerald gaze with his own. When he recognized me, his eyes went wide.

"M-Mrs. Yagi?! What are you doing here?! How do you know All Might?! All Might, is it okay for her to see you out of your hero form?!" Izuku started panicking and doing his muttering thing as Toshinori laughed loudly, breaking his train of thought.

"Young Midoriya! I'd like to introduce you to my wife, Rose Yagi," Toshinori announced proudly as he wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me close to him. I blushed at this but laughed as Izuku's jaw hit the sand.

"Hey, Izuku! How's it going?" I greeted him with a kind smile causing him to look at me confused.

"But, at school, everyone calls you the demon teacher because you're so harsh and strict, a-and your married to the Symbol of Peace?!" he muttered mostly to himself as he tried to work through his shock. Toshinori looked at me with slight concern.

"The demon teacher?" he asked with an eyebrow raised. I sighed in frustration.

"Oi, Izuku. Mind not snitching to my husband that I'm not coddling my students!" I yelled at the now terrified broccoli haired boy before turning to Toshinori and rolling my eyes, "Seriously, I curse at one student and throw a couple of erasers at kids that passed out in my class and suddenly I'm a demon teacher. I just take giving kids an education seriously. It's vital to development."

Toshinori chuckled at this, understanding now what was going on. He knew if there was one thing that was true about me was that I had a passion for learning and teaching. I held education in high importance and treated my classes as such.

"S-sorry, Mrs. Yagi!" Izuku said nervously with a bow. I just shook my head and laughed lightly as I walked up to the kid and ruffled his hair causing him to look up at me in confusion.

"I'm just teasing ya, kid. I may be a real stickler in the classroom, but outside of it, I'm a bit of a different person especially when it comes to my husband. Don't worry, he and I are gonna do our best to help prepare you for the UA entrance exam. And you're gonna kick ass!" I encouraged him with a smirk, "After all, with two awesome heroes teaching you, how could you possibly fail?" He looked at me wide eyed.

"Y-you're a hero too, Mrs. Yagi?!" he asked in shock, "What's your hero name? Your quirk?"

I smiled at him and turned away walking back towards my husband giving him a look asking if he was okay with it. He smiled at me and nodded, clearly thankful that I was trying to bond with his little protege. Deciding to be a bit dramatic, I let my quirk activate, causing my white and blue flaming wings to shoot out from my back as my eyes turned white. There was an audible gasp from the curly haired boy behind me, so I looked over my shoulder at him, a smirk still present on my face.

"Y-you're! You're-!" Izuku stuttered as I finished his sentence with confidence.

"Pro hero, Lady Icarys, at your service, Izuku."
