Welcome back, Heroes! Rio is here with the next installment of Domestic Heroes, and woo boy this one's a doozy. Easily the longest one I've written so far. Not as long as some of my earlier works from before I focused on MHA, but still lengthy enough. Normally I would've limited myself in terms of word count, but it was sort of necessary in this case, since it will more or less reveal a little something that has been hinted on for quite some time now. I've been waiting to make this reveal for a while now, and what way to start off this week's dose of fluff than with that? In any case, enjoy the story, everyone and I will see you all in the author's notes.

My Hero Academia: Domestic Heroes

Road to Accomplishment

"Wooow! Look at all this open space…! And the trees and mountains in the background! So cool! I can't believe that you used to live in such a pretty place, Mom!"

"I know, right? Can't see sights like this in the city. It's good to go out and experience stuff like this every now and again."

"No kidding. This is a beautiful place. We should definitely come here more often in the future."

"Yeah, Dad! We really should!"

"Aww… You two are so sweet! I seriously love you both so much right now!"

Ochako could only grin as she went and gave her boyfriend a quick peck on the cheek, being careful not to bother him too much as he drove while Eri was giggling at the action in the backseat. The family of three was currently inside a small vehicle, provided by Inko and was driven by Izuku, while making their way to the Capital of the Mie Prefecture: Tsu City. It was a perfect getaway from all the work-induced stress that had been accumulating over the past few months. It had gotten to the point where their bosses suggested they take a couple days off so that they could recuperate, much to the couple's hidden relief. They loved being heroes, truly, but it didn't hurt to go and take it easy every now and again.

Especially when one is offered a trip to a hot springs resort by their hard working parents.

-Flashback-

"You're inviting us to where, Daddy?!" Ochako exclaimed to her phone, eyes wide in shock as Eri and Izuku stared at the woman curiously.

"Dad? What's going on? Is Gram-Gram taking us on a trip?" Eri questioned her father figure, who was looking just as confused as she was.

"…I'm not sure, Eri. I thought that he was busy working on some big restoration project over in Tsu City. Guess he's finished and wants us to visit him and Mrs. Uraraka again." Izuku shrugged, unsure of what to say.

"Ooh. I think that makes sense." Eri nodded before the pair turned to Ochako, who looked so ecstatic that she looked like she was about to float at any second.

"Ok! I'll tell 'em, Daddy! I know they're gonna live it, too! See you and Mom there as soon as we can! Love ya!" The woman said, sounding so excited that she slipped into her more country accent, before shutting off her phone and giving her loved ones the biggest smile that they had ever seen on her face. And that was saying something. "Deku! Eri! You would not believe what Daddy just told me a minute ago!"

"I'm guessing it's about the project he mentioned a while back. I take it the construction was a success then?" Izuku questioned, smiling back when Ochako started to nod furiously with her hands clenched in joy.

"You know it! And the guys who hired my family's company were super impressed by his hard work that they gave him tickets to the very place they finished construction! It's a family pack, so he decided to invite all three of us to spend the weekend with him and Mom over to Tsu City to celebrate!" Ochako cheered before rushing over to Izuku and practically glomped him, nearly toppling him in the process. "Oh, I can't believe the project was a success! With all the money they made, those two are gonna be set for such a long time! I'm so happy for them!"

"So am I. Your family deserves all the good fortune in the world for working as hard as they do. I'm glad that they're getting awarded for all that they've done." Izuku said kindly as he tightened his hold on his girlfriend, who was nearly crying in joy for her parent's success.

"Me, too. Gran-Gran and Gram-Gram are such really nice people!" Eri chimed in as she joined in on the hug, tightly gripping onto both of her guardians as they laughed together in shared happiness for the elder Urarakas.

"You know it, sweetie. And I think we should take up their offer right away! Our bosses gave us a break, after all." Ochako stated as she ended the embrace, steeping back a little before placing her hands on her hips and grinning brightly at her lover and daughter. "Alright you two, time to pack! The three of us are gonna go out on a trip to the country and it will be glorious! We're off to the hot springs!"

"Really!? That's great!" Izuku exclaimed, looking quite happy as Eri began cheering beside her.

"You got that right! And we're going to make it even better by bringing in our own present for my folks! Deku, make sure that we have everything from Inko before we leave! Including the documents! We are going to make this trip something that my parents will never forget!"

-End Flashback-

It had been a long time since Ochako had felt so excited, and the way she felt when she heard her parents' grand success at their job was something that will never be forgotten. The Urarakas were among the many contractors that were asked to help with the reconstruction of a popular hot springs resort that was reduced to rubble during a villain attack. It took quite a long time for the project to finish, what with the owners wanting to do a little expansion to the resort as well, but once it was completed, they were given a substantial amount of money as payment and were even given free tickets to the restored hot springs as a bonus. Naturally, the exuberant parents were quite happy with their pay and reward and decided to share their fortune with their daughter and her family by inviting them to the very resort they restored. The trio accepted the request, of course, as they wanted nothing more than to visit the elders and enjoy a good soak to ease the weariness and stress that accumulated from their busy lives as heroes. They even went so far as to ask Inko to borrow her vehicle for a short while, deciding to make it a road trip through the countryside to make the trek more enjoyable. The fact that their bosses were more than willing to give the couple a break was a helpful bonus.

As soon as they were given the day off and got permission from Eri's school to excuse her for a day, the couple packed their bags, took Mikan to Inko and Toshinori to be watched over, and said goodbye to the two good friends before finally departing for their well-deserved trip. They left quite early as well, in order to enjoy their little road trip and take in the sights that the countryside had to offer.

"Hehe. This is so fun! I never been on a road trip like this before! Do you think we'll be able to see some animals on the way to the resort?" Eri asked, looking downright hopeful as she stared out at the window in delight.

"It's possible sweetie. Just try and contain your excitement when you do see something outside." Ochako giggled, more than a little amused by her little girl's actions before turning to Izuku with a sweet smile. "She's so precious, Deku. I haven't seen her so excited since we first took her in. Makes me wish we took her in sooner."

"Same… But she's with us now, and that's what matters. We'll make sure she'll have a blast at the hot springs." Izuku said, glancing briefly at his lover for a second before focusing his attention back on the road, slowing down when he was nearing a stop-sign when he heard an excited squeal from the back seat.

"Mom! Dad! Look! There's some deer in the field!" Eri exclaimed, looking downright ecstatic when she saw a small family of deer off in the distance.

"Oh wow. Would you look at that… I didn't think we'd see any deer until we're at the springs." Izuku muttered in surprise as he watched the animals trot further away from the vehicle before going forward.

"Nah, there's plenty of animals out and about here. Just got to be careful while driving, or else you might hit them by accident." Ochako warned gently, more amused by the reactions of the father daughter pair than of the animals themselves. She was more or less used to them, but seeing the two, for the lack of a better term, 'city slickers', being so impressed by what was essentially an everyday occurrence for her.

The trip to Tsu City didn't take all that long, even if the small family took their time to arrive. It was indeed a beautiful place, and Ochako was more than willing to tell Izuku and Eri about all the capital had to offer. She told them of a local festival called the Tōjin Odori that occurred every year, a park located downtown that she used to play in that was actually made from the remnants of an old castle, and even a couple Shinto shrines that she had visited a few times for New Years if they were in the area. It was all quite a treat for the two newcomers, but as they started going through what Ochako called the Aoyama Highland, a name that brought much amusement to Izuku at thanks to a certain sparkling friend of his, they had manage to find their way to their destination: The Sakakibara Onsen.

Cradled in practically the center of nature, according to the Mie native, Sakakibara was considered one of the three most famous hot spring resorts in all of Japan, a fact that shocked both Izuku and Eri immensely. With its clear water hot spring water, quality service, open air baths and even outdoor recreational activities such as golf, the spa was one of, if not the, most popular tourist destinations in the area until its unfortunate destruction at the hands of a powerful water-themed villain close to a year ago. It took a lot of time, effort, and money, to get it restored to it's former glory. The damage was so extensive that the owners of the resort ended up hiring lesser known construction companies to help with the restoration, with one such company being the Urarakas, and in the end, the project was completed with a few additions and extra touch ups to make it look better than ever.

Ochako herself was quite happy for her parents for landing such an important job, even more so when she was informed how well of a job they did. She couldn't be any prouder of them. They worked so hard to raise her and make ends meet…and she wanted desperately to repay them for all they have done. She had a plan of course. One that she was planning to accomplish as soon as she became a professional hero. One that she, initially, believed she would be doing alone, and would take many years to finish…

One that was about to come to fruition much sooner than expected, thanks to the help of a certain sweetheart that was now driving up the pathway to the resort. She really was grateful to have someone like him by her side…

"Wow… This is the resort, Mom?" Eri gasped, looking up at the massive structure in awe as she and her guardians exited the vehicle with their respective luggage.

"Yup! This is it! Pretty nice, eh? My folks did a really good job fixing this resort up. Looks a lot nicer than I remembered." Ochako said with no small amount of pride.

"Yeah. It's a bit different than the images I've seen on the internet. Lots of improvements here, from what I'm seeing." Izuku muttered in an impressed tone, before quirking an eyebrow at when he suddenly felt the hair on the back of his neck stand on end, sensing something was off. "…Hey? Is it me, or does it feel like we're being wat-"

"OCHAKO! ERI! IZUKU!"

"KYA!" "EEK!" "GAH!"

The family clung to each other as soon as they heard the shouts and saw what appeared to be a couple of crazy individuals rushing over to them. A moment later the unexpected newcomers stopped right in front of them, and as soon as the three of them calmed down, they immediately noticed how familiar the pair looked. Recognizing the duo, Ochako and Eri immediately gasped in pleasant surprise while Izuku let off a sigh of relief.

"Momma! Daddy!" Ochako exclaimed, happy to have reunited her parents once more, and proceeded to embrace her parents happily.

"Ochako! Sweetheart! It's so good to see you again! Look how strong you strong you've become!" Ochako's mother exclaimed, she and her husband tightly returning the hug given to their daughter before going over to Izuku with wide grins of their own and proceeded to hug hum as well. "Ah, Izuku! Looking as mighty as ever! You're looking more and more like a powerful hero every day!"

"Ah. Thanks, Mrs. Uraraka. I appreciate it, really." Izuku said awkwardly as he hugged the mother while Mr. Uraraka place a firm hand on his shoulder with a face splitting smile.

"Good to see ya, son! Been seeing you and my little girl doing work on the telly! Glad to see you two becoming such amazing Heroes, you two!" The father guffawed, ruffling Izuku's hair playfully before looking down at the elated white-haired girl looking up at him. "And hello there, Li'l Eri! You've grown quite a bit since I've last seen ya! Looking as beautiful as your mother with each passing day!

"Thanks, Gram-Gram!" Eri giggle as she was easily picked up by the burly construction worker, the title she had for the man causing him to bellow in laughter once more.

"Hah! I don't think I'll ever get tired of hearing you call me that, Princess! Hopefully whatever little siblings you'll have in the future will call me the same thing!" He stated before turning his attention to his daughter and eventual son-in-law with a teasing grin, causing the pair to blush brightly at the implication.

"Honey, don't tease them too much. You know how flustered they get whenever you bring up their future children. Wait until after they get married so that you can have your fun." Mrs. Uraraka chided her husband in a playful tone before turning to the still embarrassed young adults. "Sorry about that, you two. You know how he gets. How about we head inside and check in. With how busy you've been, I'm sure you two will enjoy a moment to relax."

"…That sounds like a good idea, Momma." Ochako agreed after a moment, turning to Izuku for a moment before returning her attention to her mother. "Say, do you mind going ahead of us with Eri? Deku and I need to get the rest of our luggage and I want to talk to him about our plans for the next couple days.

"Sure thing, dear. We'll wait for you in the lobby. Just don't take too long, ok?" The mother said kindly before grabbing her husband by the arm and lead the man, who was now supporting his surrogate granddaughter on his shoulders, into the resort, leaving the young couple alone.

"…Ochako? Don't take this the wrong way, but I don't think I'll ever get used to your parents' way of greeting us." Izuku sighed after a the three were at a far enough distance, slumping a little in exhaustion from his fright.

"I don't blame ya. They've been doing it to me for years and I'm still getting spooked by them every once in a while." Ochako agreed before looking up at the massive structure before them with a smile. "Still, though, this is a nice change of pace. Can't believe we're actually going to spend the weekend here at a fancy resort. Hard to imagine us doing something like this when we first began our lives as heroes."

"Same. I thought that my life would be nothing but hero work and focusing to become the symbol of piece. If it wasn't for you and the others, I doubt I would ever experience anything like this…" Izuku confessed, turning to Ochako with a warm smile and slightly flushed face, causing her to grin back at him with her normally pink cheeks growing darker in response.

"Ditto. Guess the two of us are hopeless without each other at this point, huh? Not that I'm complaining." The brunette said cheekily before leaning upwards and kissed her man on the lips, one that was quickly reciprocated, before pulling away fairly quickly. "By the way, did you remember to bring the papers your dad sent you?"

"Yup. They're in the luggage. I grabbed them from Mom's place before we left and All Might help me find a good place to keep them hidden. We're all set." Izuku assured with a smile and thumb's up.

"Great. Now all we have to do is spring the surprise on them before we leave and this will be the best break ever!" Ochako cheered with a fist in the air, getting a laugh out of Izuku, before grabbing her bag. "C'mon. Let's head into the resort. Can't keep Eri and my parents waiting!"

"Right behind you." Izuku grinned as he grabbed his own bag along with Eris, following his energetic girlfriend into the resort and to reunite with the energetic Urarakas and equally excitable Eri. It didn't take them long to get everyone checked in, and after taking a moment to eat and catch up, the extended family proceeded to make their way to the hot spring baths for a well-deserved soak.

This feels so good… No wonder its considered one of the three best hot springs in the country. Izuku thought lazily while leaning back on the decorated rock wall, eyes closed as he grabbed a small towel nearby and dunked it into the water before placing it atop his damp bushy head. The hot spring felt so good on his weary body. It was as if all the stress and aches that he had accumulated over the past few months was melting away from him. It was truly the most relaxing moment he had ever experience, and once more he was grateful to the parents of his lover for inviting them to such an amazing bath.

The spring at the training camp has nothing compared to this. I should definitely bring Mom and All Might here when we have the chance. I'm sure they'll love it here.

"Now there's a man who looks like he's achieved nirvana. Looks like a trip to the hot spring's just what the doctor ordered, eh, son?" A familiar gruff voice called out, causing Izuku to crack an eye open to see Mr. Uraraka shuffling towards him with a massive, if relaxed, smile on his face.

"I feel like I'm melting…but in a good way… This is by far the best hot spring bath that I've ever been in…" Izuku confessed with a blissful sigh, cracking a small smile as he felt the father of his lover sit right beside him and letting off a bark of amused laughter.

"Ys got that right, boy. I feel the same. Not gonna lie, reconstructin' this resort was nothin' less than difficult, but bein' able to relax here with my wife, daughter, granddaughter, and future son-in-law made it all worth it." The man stated with a grin causing an awkward smile and light blush to form on Izuku's face.

He is never going to stop calling me that, is he? Izuku thought dryly, trying to will his blush away as he sunk a little deeper into the bath.

"Ah, by the way, son, mind if I get yer help with somethin'?" Mr. Uraraka spoke up, getting a curious look from Izuku. He saw an odd, somewhat sad look in his eyes for a brief moment before excitement and curiosity took over, and silently took note of it before the man continued. "Li'l Eri's birthday's comin' up, right? Gonna turn eleven, soon, if I recall. Think you can help me figure out what ta get her? Been racking my brain for a while, but I couldn't think of anythin' for her. Think you can lend this old man a hand?"

"Of course, I can. I've been wondering what exactly I should get her myself, but work lately hasn't given me much time to think about that stuff. Maybe the two of us can brainstorm something for her." Izuku said happily as he sat himself up, though inwardly frowned at the odd look he saw a moment ago. It was strange, yes, but he couldn't think of any reason why he would have such a look. After a few moments, he let the thought go, deciding to go back to it after talking to Ochako, before coming up with ideas for his surrogate daughter's birthday.

As the two men began chatting and spitballing ideas on what to get for a parent, Eri herself was having the time of her life over at the women's side of the bath. She was swimming all around the open-air spring, a smile so big it nearly encompassed her whole face. The sight of her playing in the water made Ochako's heart melt. Her daughter was too adorable for her own good at times, and once more she couldn't get over the fact of how much she loved the bundle of joy that swam past her.

She really was lucky that the girl chose her to be her mother…

"She's really is cute, huh, sweetheart. I bet you're really happy to be a part of her life." A knowing voice said beside her in a kind tone, snapping Ochako out of her thoughts to turn her attention to her mother, who was shoulder deep in the water much like herself.

"I am, Momma. Eri's been a treasure for the longest time now. She's been making my and Deku's home life so much better ever since we took her in, and I can't help but be proud of everything she's accomplished." Ochako said with a sappy smile, giving her little girl a wave when she paused to smile at the two women.

"Hmm. You sound like me whenever I think of you, sweetheart. I can't even begin to tell you how happy and proud I am to see you like this. You're a natural mother, just like I knew you would be." Mrs. Uraraka said as she reached an arm over to her daughter's side and pulled her in for a hug.

"Well, I learned from the best. Everything I know I got from you." Ochako grinned, getting a giggle out of her mother, before letting off a relaxed sigh. "Ya know… I'm proud of you, too, Momma. You and Daddy. You guys have been trying so hard to get work, and you went and landed such an amazing job. Fixing this hot spring resort up and making it even better? I can hardly believe it. I always knew you two would end up getting a big job eventually."

"Yes, Ochako. This was a good job. And a fun one as well, albeit a challenging one. A shame that this might be out last one, though…"

"Huh?" Ochako questioned, looking at her mother in surprise as soon as she heard the last statement.

"Oh, it's nothing, sweetheart. Your father and I will tell you more about it later on. Don't worry about it." The mother assured with a kind smile before stretching her arms up. "Well, I think I'm done. I'm going to change into our yukata and look for the boys. They might be done by now. Don't you and Eri stay too long, ok? Don't want either of you to pass out in the heat."

"…Ok." Ochako said, turning away as her mother proceeded to get up and leave the bath. The woman's last statement was echoing in her head, making her fairly worried about both her parents and their company. "What in the world could she mean by that? Are they going under after this? Did someone buy them out? Why didn't say anything sooner? Seriously, Momma, why did you wait until now to say anything… We could've helped."

"Mom? Is everything ok?" A sweet voice reached the fretting woman's ears, causing her to look ahead to see Eri right before her, her crimson eyes looking back at her own chestnut colored eyes in concern.

"…I'm fine, Eri. Just thinking about what your Gran-Gran said just now. Don't worry about it." Ochako answered with a weak reassuring smile,

"Ok then." Eri relented, giving her mother figure a hard glance before swimming into her for a hug.

"Huh? Sweetie, what's that's for?" Ochako asked curiously as she returned the hug.

"To make you not feel bad? I don't want you looking sad. It hurts me and daddy to see you like this." Eri explained softly, getting a soft laugh from Ochako as she returned the hug.

"Sorry, sweetie. I'll be fine, though, really. We're on break right now, so I'll be better soon." The brunette assured, kissing Eri on the crown of her head. "Ok then, I think we've spent enough time here for now. How about we go and get ourselves something to eat. You must be hungry after swimming for so long."

"Ok, Mom." Eri nodded, following Ochako out of the bath and into the dressing room.

Once in their red and gold autumn-themed yukata, the family made their to their respective rooms, with the Zero-Gravity heroine watching her parents chat amicably to her boyfriend and surrogate daughter with a frown on her face. She was desperately curious as to what her mother was insinuating in the bath but didn't want to disturb the peaceful atmosphere between her loved ones. Reluctantly, she kept quiet about it, shaking her head when she saw Izuku staring at her curiously. It would be brought up again. She knew it. Her mother wouldn't have said anything if she was going to keep it quiet.

And indeed, she was correct…for as soon as the two reached to their respective rooms, which were conveniently right across from one another, Ochako saw her mother give her father a certain look, as if conveying something to him. Whatever it was, it must have been serious, for he had let off a tired sigh before turning to the others with a weary expression.

"Ochako, we have something we need to talk to you and Izuku about. Think we can talk in your room?"

"…Sure, Daddy. Just come in." Ochako nodded after a moment as Izuku opened the door to their room, looking a little unsure as to what was happening. She saw him turn to her once more, and could only respond again with a shaking head. She allowed him and Eri to enter the room first before going in herself, closing the door along the way. She then walked over to her parents, sitting right beside them as she and her own family waited patiently for them to talk.

"I…assume you're wondering why we asked to come here. Right Izuku? Ochako? Eri?" Mr. Uraraka questioned, his tone soft and serious that it stunned both Izuku and Eri quite a bit, while Ochako simply sighed and gave her parents a sad smile.

"I got an idea. Mom let it slipped when we were in the bath. That this was your last project…" The youngest brunette said, a weak giggle escaping when she heard her lover and daughter gasp in shock, before looking back at her parents with shimmering eyes. "You guys… You're done, are ya? The construction company's finished. Ain't it."

"Heh… You always were such a smart cookie, honey. I knew sendin' you t' UA was a smart choice." Mr. Uraraka said, shaking his head ruefully as his wife placed a gentle hand on his shoulder. "Yes. Our company's done. The crew'd already put in their notices shortly before we got this contract. They stuck around to get it done, though, as one last hurrah before finally partin' ways with us in good terms. The lot of them were even hired by some of the other contractors that were also part of the resort reconstruction, which I am grateful for. They're skilled workers, after all, and I'm proud that the guys manage to find new work."

"We were really lucky that we were a part of the reconstruction, as well. If we didn't get this job, things would've been much more difficult for us. That accident my husband had over a year ago really set us back in our savings, and it was only thanks to Ochako that we were able to pay for it with at least some money left over…even if she did get in trouble by you, Deku, since she wanted to help us out on her own." Mrs. Uraraka joked weakly, getting a shaky laugh out of Izuku while Ochako simply sighed in response, before the older woman began once more. "Thankfully, this job here managed to secure us quite a sum that will sustain us for a good while until we find another place to work. We're grateful for the chance, and the little bonus of staying here for the weekend was quite the unexpected surprise, but a pleasant one that we wanted to share with you all. It…might be the last time we would be able to do this, after all. At least for a while."

The moment those words left the woman's mouth, Ochako couldn't help but let a few tears fall from her face, truly upset that her family's construction company was no more. Her parents worked so hard to support her and find jobs, and constantly she found it unfair that other companies were always getting work while they weren't. She even had the perfect Quirk to help them out, but they insisted that she'd branch out with it instead of settling on the family business. They wanted her to be a hero, and she end up agreeing, so that she could give her parents the life they truly deserve. They had done so much for her…and all she wanted to do…her dream…was to repay that kindness back. To show them her immense gratitude for supporting her for so long… And now…

Now…

"Mom? Can we tell Gran-Gran and Gram-Gram now?"

…It was time to fulfill that dream.

"…Yes, sweetie. I think now's a perfect time to tell them." Ochako answered, giving the nervous Eri a shaky smile before turning her head to her sympathetic Izuku, ignoring the looks of confusion on her parent's faces. "Deku? Can you get the paperwork?"

"Sure thing, Ochako." Izuku nodded, heading over to their luggage and started rummaging through it.

"…Ochako? Sweetheart? What's going on?" The now former construction worker asked, he and his wife looking mighty unsure as their daughter wiped the tears away from her eyes and gave them a small, yet truly happy smile.

"…Remember what I told you guys my plans were for us when I decided to be a hero? That I want to make enough money so that you two can retire without worries?" Ochako said softly as Eri made her way to her and proceeded to lit on her lap, humming as the woman began gently stroking her hair.

"Of course, we do, Ochako, but what does…" Mrs. Uraraka trailed off, her and her husband's eyes going wide as they saw the smile on their now grown child's face growing wider with each passing second. "…You didn't."

"I did, Momma. Daddy. I started early, during my time in UA, actually. It was kinda rough at first, and I ended up doing a few things that were, admittedly, kinda stupid in order to save money for it. I already got the riot act read to me by Deku when he found out, so you don't need to start." Ochako assured as soon as she noticed the glares she was getting from her parents, ignoring the giggling coming from the girl on her lap as she continued. "Anyways, I started saving little by little since then, adding a little more when I could to speed up the process. Then, when Deku and I got together, he offered to help me out with my dream. At first I denied it, wanting to do it on my own, but he was stubborn until the end, and manage to convince me to let him help, which was the best decision I've made. He had his dad set up a special bank account just for us so that we can put the money for you guys there. We continued this well after high school, taking on a lot of patrols and extra side jobs to make sure that we make enough money to both support us and save up for what we wanted to do for you. Even after we took custody of Eri here, we were still on the path to making that promise I made to you guys… My dream… A reality. There were plenty of road bumps on the way, for sure, and I felt like giving up practically hundred of times, but thanks to Izuku, and as of recently Eri, backing me up and supporting me in their own way, I persevered. And in the end…everything was worth it. Right, Deku?"

"Right, Ochako." Izuku agreed, a large yellow envelope in his hand as he made his way to the parents of his girlfriend. With a small smile and a quick bow, he placed the parcel onto Mr. Uraraka's hands, who was looking down on it in confusion. Curious and excited as to what it means, the couple opened the letter and pulled out a multitude of documents. The elder Urarakas began shifting through them, looking more and more surprised with each passing second. As soon as they finished reading what Izuku provided them, their expressions in utter disbelief at what they had just finished checking out.

"You can thank Deku's dad for the more technical parts of the plan. There was still a bit cash left after everything was said and done, so I had it deposited in your bank account just before we left." Ochako stated, her smile grinning to epic proportions while Izuku made his way to her with a gentle smile and a hand on her shoulder. "Like I said, Deku's dad was the one responsible for getting that ready for you. He lead us through the process and has been extremely helpful to us every step of the way. Now…I got something to ask you guys…

"…Are ya both ready to move to Hawaii! Because your home's there and ready for ya whenever you are!"

Prompt: Road Trip

Author's Notes: And there it is, guys. Ochako's dream of giving her folks an easier life is just about done. All that's left is for the actual move and it would be accomplished. That will be in a future chapter, though. It will be here, rest assured, but a few things will be taking place first before they move. Some mundane, some important, but nevertheless, this marks the beginning of the last 10 chapters for this fic. I am honestly surprised that I have gotten this far without giving up on it. It was tough, not going to lie, and I kept getting discouraged every so often by some personal matters and the fact that so many talented writers have been appearing and updating lately. Heck, DevilTito just updated one of the best IzuOcha longfics out there, Seeking Comfort, and the last chapter was so good, and Bakufan15 just added another well written chapter to You Are My Hero, and is going to begin another project as well. A massive one. I can't say much about it right now, but I can assure you that it will be a treat for you all to read. More fluff to come tomorrow, everyone, so look forward to that! And with that, I would like to say thanks for all who had favorite and followed this story so far. Hard to believe it's all about to end soon, but I'm happy to have worked on this. Take care, everyone, and I will see you heroes in the next update.

Farewell, and remember: Go Beyond. Plus Ultra!
