Hello again, Heroes. Rio is back with the next chapter of Domestic Heroes. This one is a bit different compared to the other's that I've written so far, as it not only references a movie, but also as a song added to it as well. A partial songfic, as it were. Last time I did one of these was during my time writing RWBY fanfiction...and while I don't like going back to that time, I figured it would be ok to bring back some old tricks I used to do. Also, I ended up changing the rating back to the previous one and updated the last chapter to be a little more on the friendly side. The main joke's more or less the same, but I kinda don't want to push any boundaries. The unedited variant is still over in Ao3 if you still want the joke, since it's more lenient there in terms of censorship. With that all said, enjoy the story, and I will see you in the author's notes.

My Hero Academia: Domestic Heroes

'Family' Night

"Alright, Ochako, the popcorn's ready. Did you decide what we're watching tonight?"

"Yup! Eri picked it out! Were gonna watch that dragon movies she loves so much! You know, the one with the Vikings!"

"The first one or the sequel?"

"Sequel!"

"Seriously? That's great! I haven't seen that movie in a while! Can't wait to get started!"

Eri couldn't help but smile widely at the sight of her guardians' excited forms as she held the selected blu-ray case in her hands. The both of them had the night off, and were about to start their indoor movie night. Initially they were supposed to go out to a theater, but a sudden attack at the one they were planning to go to canceled that plan. Thankfully, the culprits were captured by nearby heroes, and no one was hurt, but the white-haired child couldn't help but feel a little upset. There as a new animated movie she wanted to watch with Izuku and Ochako and she was really looking forward to it. Instead of dwelling on their seemingly ruined night, Ochako suggested that they have a night in instead, and have their own personal movie night. Izuku agreed to the plan, after a bit of contemplating, so did Eri. She may not be watching the movie she wanted to see, but she was spending time with her loving caretakers nevertheless, and in the end, she was happy with that.

"Here we are, girls. Lots of butter and salt, just how you like it." Izuku said as he placed the bowl down before sitting on the couch, the young man clad in a white tee-shirt with the word 'shirt' comically written on it and a pair of green sweats.

"Awesome, Deku! You're the best!" Ochako chirped from her own spot on their couch as she rewarded her boyfriend with a kiss, she herself wearing a black tank-top and orange shorts, before looking down at Eri, who was situated right in the middle of the couple, with a smile. "Well, now that the snacks are here, how about we get this party started? Wanna do the honor's Eri?"

"Ok! I'm playing the movie now!" Eri nodded happily before grabbing the remote and pressed the play button, making herself comfortable in her large, dress-like blue shirt and big poofy socks as she leaned back in her seat. She was feeling the warmth coming from both Izuku and Ochako, and she couldn't help but feel especially happy.

Soon enough, the movie began to play, and all three spectators watched on contently. Eri loved relaxing moments like these, where she could simply relax and enjoy herself with her guardians. The two of them had done so much for her, both before and after taking her in, and was eternally grateful to them. They held a special place in her heart, alongside her other savior, Mirio, and original caretaker, Aizawa, and it was thanks to them, and so many others, that she was finally able to break free from the binds of fear and distrust that her 'father' ensnared her in. She let off a small, content sigh as she leaned back onto the couch, smiling when she felt the couple moving closer to her, and to each other.

"Someone's looking happy. You really like this movie, huh?" Izuku said quietly, placing a hand on Eri's head and gently rubbed it.

"Mmhm. I do, but I'm also happy that we're all here together. You two are usually kinda busy, so something like this doesn't happen a lot. This is nice…" Eri explained, leaning into Izuku's touch. She heard him groan slightly after saying that, and looked up to see his face all scrunched up, much to her confusion. "Deku? Are you ok? Your face is all gross-looking again."

"He's fine, Eri. He's just having a moment. His face always gets ugly like that whenever he sees something that makes his heart clench in a good way. You're just too bright for your own good." Ochako giggled, patting the girl on the back.

"Oh… Is that why he makes that face at you sometimes? He usually does that whenever you're really happy and bright looking." Eri asked innocently, getting a wide grin out of Ochako while Izuku turned away slightly in embarrassment.

"Yup. I guess you can say we're the only people in the world to make the future Symbol of Peace's heart skip a beat. Kinda nice, don't ya think?" Ochako chirped with a teasing wink to her boyfriend.

"Ochako…" He grumbled, causing the girls to laugh a little, before they settled into a comfortable silence to watch the movie.

Eri was in a positive mood for nearly the entire film. She was quite the fan of fantasy and never got tired of such stuff like phoenixes and dragons. Aizawa had given her plenty of books to read during her time in his care, especially fairy tales, and couldn't help but get hooked by them. She had gotten even more hooked over time through Izuku and Mirio's visits, and ended up developing a taste for foreign fantasy by the time she was put under Izuku and Ochako's care. The fact that they were also fans of her favorite genre was a massive bonus, and would always perk up whenever days like today ever occur, even when the movies take a darker turn. Including the one that was happening just now…

"Oh dear… It always hurts to see this scene… It's beautiful…but so sad." Ochako muttered, tearing up slightly as she stared at the screen.

"I know… To see a parent sacrifice themselves for their child. It's…both amazing…and heart breaking." Izuku agreed solemnly, and all Eri could do was nod quietly at their words, silently contemplating them as the film continued on.

She wondered if Izuku or Ochako would be willing to go so far for her? The two of them had risked so much to rescue her from Overhaul, but were they willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for her? After a moment of thought, Eri came to the conclusion that…they would, and it both warmed hear heart and saddened her immensely to realize that. The couple beside her didn't hide the fact how much they cared for her, and the lengths they would go to keep her safe and protected. For the short time she was under her care, for the first time ever, she felt like she was a part of a family. Like they were her parents, and she was their daughter. It was a silly notion, she knew. They weren't much older than her, about nine years at most, but the way they interacted with her constantly made her wonder if that was a way a family should be. The way Izuku made her breakfast nearly every day and made sure her homework was properly done, just like a true father… The way Ochako would smother her with affection and let her help out with the chores like a mother would…

She didn't know she was crying until she felt the tears falling from her face, and was about to wipe them off when she felt something soft on her face, removing them for her. Confused, she looked up to see Ochako with a sad smile and a tissue in her hand, dabbing away the tears. She then felt a rough hand gently rubbing her head, and turned her head to see Izuku looking down at her with a comforting smile, as if assuring that everything was ok. She started welling up once again, feeling emotionally overwhelmed, before diving into Izuku and began clinging to him, sobbing gently into his shirt as he and Ochako started rubbing her back gently. After a short while, she managed to calm down, giving the couple a grateful smile, before turning her attention back to the movie, enjoying the comfort she was getting from the couple.

A while later, the movie finally reached its end, and with a feeling of satisfaction and an empty popcorn bowl, the pseudo-family of three got up from the couch and made their way to the kitchen to get themselves something to drink.

"That was a good movie. Glad you chose it for us, Eri." Izuku said kindly, grabbing some glasses while Ochako grabbed a carton of lemonade from the refrigerator.

"No kidding! I'll never get tired of the that movie. And the song that Viking chief did with his long-lost wife was so cute and romantic!" Ochako exclaimed while pouring the lemony liquid treat into everyone's cups.

"That part is my favorite. I never get tired of that scene…" Eri agreed as Izuku gave her her cup, taking a quick sip from it before an idea formed in her head. "Hey, Deku? Chako? Can you two sing that song together?"

"Huh? Us?" The couple responded, looking at the girl with a mix of confusion and embarrassment if their blushes were any indication.

"Yeah. You two love each other, right? A-And you even act like a married couple from what your friends say when they visit. You've been together for a ling time, too, so I was hoping you two could do the song, too, if that's ok…" Eri explained, looking more and more unsure as she made her request.

The way the pair looked at each other unsurely made the girl nervous, thinking that she might've crossed a line. She knew that the two were planning on waiting until they were a bit older to tie the knot, wanting to save up on money and make a better name for themselves as heroes before properly settling down. They also get quite embarrassed when the subject came up, and it was then that she realized she made a mistake. Looking down in slight shame, she was about to rescind her request when she heard something she wasn't expecting to hear.

It was Izuku whistling softly. He was whistling the beginning of the song, much to her surprise. Ochako appeared to be surprised as well, but soon started to smile widely as she recognized what he was doing. Eri started to ball her fists in excitement, looking at the couple in anticipation as she waited for Izuku to finally begin.

Thankfully, she didn't have to wait long…

"~I'll swim and sail…on savage seas…
With never a fear of drowning…

And gladly ride the waves of life…
If you will marry me.~"

Izuku's voice was soft and gentle, much to Eri's shock. He had a surprisingly good singing voice, and she couldn't help but be entranced by it. Turning her head to Ochako, wondering what her reaction was, and blinked a couple times at the lovestruck look on her face. It was as if she was completely hypnotized, and that made the white-haired girl worried. If she stayed like that, she was going to miss her cue. An idea popped into her head, and turned her attention back to Izuku, patiently waiting for the right moment make her move.

"~No scorching sun, nor freezing cold…
Will stop-

"~Will stop me on my journey!~"

Izuku jumped at the unexpected voice interrupting his part, while Ochako snapped out of her affection-induced trance. Confused the two of them turned their attention towards the instigator, a nervous looking Eri that was smiling at them apologetically, and both quirked a questioning eyebrow, silently asking why she did what she did.

"Ah… Sorry. Couldn't help it. Favorite song and all. I'll stop," Eri assured, gesturing to Izuku to continue. While the man looked confused, Ochako continued to stare at her, and once the girl noticed her guardian's gaze, she gave her a quick wink, getting a grateful smile in return. Happy once more, she turned her attention back to Izuku, who was now clearing his throat before continuing on with the song, grabbing Ochako's hand and making her smile widely in the process.

"~If you will promise me your heart…
…and love…~"

"~…And love me for eternity!~"

Eri practically beamed when Ochako started to sing, happy to hear her bell-like voice finally singing her favorite song. She couldn't help but bounce in joy, and noticed that Izuku ended up getting stunned by the sound of the woman's singing. Thankfully, he managed to snap out of it quickly enough, and proceeded to smile brightly alongside Eri as they listened to Ochako sing and wait to join in.

"~My dearest one, my darling dear,
your mighty words astound me…

But I've no need of mighty deeds
When I feel your arms around me!~"

"~But I would bring you rings of gold!
I'd even sing you poetry!

And I will keep you from all harm
If you would stay beside me!~"

"~I have no use for rings of gold!
I care not for your poetry!

I only want your hand to hold!~"
"~I only want you near me!~"

"~To love and kiss, to sweetly hold!
For the dancing and the dreaming!

Through all life's sorrows and delights!
I'll keep your laugh inside me!

I'll swim and sail the savage seas
With never a fear of drowning

And I'll gladly ride the waves of life
If you would marry meeee!~"

The moment the song was over, all three of them began to laugh happily, hugging each other tightly as they did so. They ended up dancing during the song, having caught up into the atmosphere the tune was providing, and while they were tired now, the smiles on their faces were brighter than ever. It was the perfect way to end their night in, and they were more than satisfied with what they've done. After a bit of cleaning up, the three of them decided to go to bed. Both Izuku and Ochako had morning patrols, and Eri had school, so they needed to get plenty of rest. Wishing her guardians goodnight, Eri proceeded to go into her room, passing by a snoozing Mikan that was on the floor, and hopped into her bed, the smile never leaving her face.

They really are my family now. They really care about me…and I care about them… Eri mused to herself as she dug deep into the covers, happy tears welling up in her eyes as she slowly but surely drifted into a peaceful slumber. This was the best night ever… It was so much fun…and I hope that we can do this again sometime. Deku… Chako… Thank you…for saving me…for being with me…for accepting me…for caring about me… For loving me.

Goodnight, Dad. Goodnight, Mom. I love you…

Prompt 4: A Night In

And that is number 4, heroes. Fun fact, this movie night theme was actually my original plan for the Dorm Life prompt that was set for IzuOcha week 2017, but I couldn't really figure out how to get it to work. I'm happy to have gotten this done, though, because it's been an idea that I've been wanting to do for the longest time. I just hope that it was enjoyable enough for you all to read. Chapter 5 will show up again tomorrow, so look forward to it! Until then, heroes, thank you all so much for reading, and I will see you all in the next update.

Farewell, and remember, go beyond. Plus Ultra!
