Domestic Heroes

The sounds of wedding bells could be heard throughout the area, echoing in every way. It was a beautiful chime, one that brought a wide smile to Izuku's face as he listened to them. Dressed in an immaculate dark tuxedo, the Pro Hero took a deep breath as he allowed the fresh air that his alma mater to enter his system. It had been a very long time since he had stepped foot in U.A., and now he was back for an outdoor wedding between two heroes of all things. It made sense in hindsight, though. Marriage between two Heroes, regardless of rank, would be a big thing to the public, so most would prefer to simply sign the documents to be done with or have a small ceremony in an undisclosed location to prevent prying eyes from interfering. In this case, it was the latter, and the bride and groom thought that there was no better place for them to wed than the place where they first met: U.A. High School.

The fact that it was also the exact date of the entrance exam their old class took all those years ago made the situation a bit ironic, since the ones who were getting married were the only ones among their peers who didn't take them.

"Midoriya…" A smooth, yet slightly on edge voice called out to the young hero, prompting him to turn to see the pristine form of Todoroki Shoto, clad in a pure white tuxedo, approach him with a familiar orange cat in a black bowtie perched on his right shoulder. It was an odd sight, but one that Izuku had grown used to as time went on.

"Hey, Todoroki. You ready for your big day?" Izuku said, his smile turning into a grin as he held out his hand to his friend, who accepted it graciously with a small smile of his own.

"Of course. I have been waiting for this moment for quite some time now. Admittedly, I'm quite nervous, but at the same time, very excited. Soon I will be starting a new chapter of my life, this one being shared with Momo, and I can't wait to get started on it…" Shoto said, prompting Izuku to nod back at his friend with pride evident in his eyes, when the dual-elementalist continued. "I assume you are about to start a new chapter as well? Momo told me about what you wish to do today, and I must say, I approve of your decision. Certainly waited long enough for it to happen, and now I can finally say that Sero owes me twenty grand for calling this."

"…Of course you guys were betting about us. Wouldn't be the first time." Izuku sighed in exasperation, glaring at Mikan when it started snickering at him, before focusing on the groom curiously. "Still, this is kind of a surprise. Out of all of us, you were the last one to get into a relationship, and now you're the first of us to get married. And a western one of all things. You and Yaoyorozu even got engaged only a year after graduating. I had my money on three years at least with a traditional japanese wedding."

"Ah. You and the others bet on my wedding, then. I suppose that's fair. And it was Momo's idea for this kind of wedding. She likes dresses and tuxedos more than kimonos, apparently." Shoto shrugged, not at all bothered by what he was told, when he saw someone waving over to him near the dormitories where they stayed, which also doubled as the area where the wedding was to be held. "Ah, it seems Iida is calling for me. It may be best that I head out for now. I'll talk to you again, Midoriya."

"Ok then. Take it easy, Todoroki." Izuku said with a wave as he watched the man of the hour depart towards the best man with Mikan hopping off and wandering about shortly after. It came as a surprise for many that Shoto had chosen Tenya to be his best man instead of Izuku, knowing how close the two were as friends, but Izuku knew better. The two had bonded quickly after the marriage of their siblings, and the fact that the two had gone on missions together as of late certainly helped boost their camaraderie. Regardless, Izuku was more than ok with the decision and was happy with being a simple groomsman. It gave him a little more freedom in comparison to the best man, and he was already promised the position in Tenya's wedding when the time comes...although he wasn't supposed to know about it yet.

Mei tended to ramble about a lot of different topics whenever she was busy with her inventions….

"Mom! I found Dad"

Izuku jumped slightly at the sound of the sweet, familiar voice, before a small smile began forming on his face. He knew exactly who it was that was calling out to him, and with his eyes shut, he turned around and grabbed the small figure that was approaching him and pulled her in a tight hug, grinning at the giggles that were right beside his ear.

"Dad, stop! You're wrinkling my dress!" The child cried out, causing Izuku to let off a soft chuckle before setting the girl in his arms down. Once he did, he began checking her out, and smiled proudly at the sight of his adopted daughter Eri in a beautiful white dress with matching shoes and her hair tied in an over-the shoulder braid with a sky blue headband to complete the set.

"Eri, you look absolutely amazing. Ochako did a fantastic job at getting you dressed up for today." Izuku said happily while giving the child a quick kiss on the forehead, right next to her horn, causing her to giggle in response.

"I would certainly hope I did. Getting her hair done was particularly difficult, but I pulled it off…." Another sweet and melodious voice reached his ears, causing his smile to grow even more as he looked up to see Ochako, dressed in an elegant white dress with her hair tied in a neat bun and a hint of makeup on, approaching the father-daughter pair with a gentle smile on her face.

"You did, Ochako. Both you and her look beautiful right now. I can hardly believe how lucky I am to have you both in my life, right now…." Izuku said honestly, his eyes glistening at the sight of the two most important women in his life looking so breathtaking, an embarrassed laugh escaping when he saw them blush lightly and smile back at him in return.

"...Sap. You just love buttering us up with those sweet words of yours, huh, Deku." Ochako stated in a teasing manner before walking up to him and grabbed his tie, pulling him to her in a short, sweet and soft kiss. "You clean up real nice yourself. And you even managed to get your tie on properly this time. Did you use the high quality clip-on that All Might got you for Christmas last year?"

"...You will not let that go, will you?" Izuku muttered with a wry smile, shaking his head as Eri began giggling at his expense. "How's Yaoyorozu doing, by the way? I haven't had a chance to see her since we arrived. Is everything going well?"

"She's fine, just nervous. Jiro's doing her best to calm her down, though, so we have nothing to worry about." Ochako explained before grabbing Izuku's hand and gently tugged him towards the altar. "Speaking of which, it's almost time for the wedding to start. We better get to our spots now before we get in trouble by Aizawa."

"Good idea. Knowing him, he'd probably give us detention for nearly ruining the ceremony, despite us being Pro Heroes now." Izuku said with a sheepish grin as he led both Ochako and Eri to the altar, dropping their child off with Mirio before joining with the other bridesmaids; Mina, Toru and Tsuyu, the remaining groomsmen; Kirishima, Ojiro and Tokoyami, and Aizawa on stage. How the man got roped into being the one to wed Momo and Shoto was a mystery to everyone, although they couldn't help but notice that he would occasionally glare at Present Mic, who was grinning back at him mischievously, every so often.

Once situated in their positions, all the guests realized that the show was about to begin, and proceeded to make their way to their respective seats. Izuku watched on with baited breath at all the different individuals that had arrived for the wedding. Not only was the entirety of their class here, including their teachers and even Bakugo and Mineta of all people, there were also a fair number of Pro Heroes around, both to watch the wedding and for extra security. Even Endeavor was here, although he was off in the distance away from the seating, which made sense to the rising hero. Despite having come to a sort of understanding, Shoto never fully forgave his father for his actions, and their relationship is forever strained. Izuku was surprised that the man even bothered to attend, but it seemed that even he wasn't one to miss one of his children's weddings. He was there for the wedding of Fuyumi and Tensei, after all…

It was then that he was gifted with a sight that made his heart melt: in the second row seats, she saw Eri, who was sitting between a grinning Mirio and an amused Fuyumi, gently holding the elder Todoroki's baby without issue. He even watched her coo and make silly faces at the newborn, which caused a wide smile to form on his face. Almost immediately did he imagine her, looking a few years older, holding an adorable little child with brunette hair and freckles across their face with him cooing at both the newborn babe and budding young woman and a certain loving heroine hugging them all with a small bulge protruding from her belly. It was a mental image that brought him to tears, and he had to bite his lip in order to keep them from falling. It was like a dream, one that he wanted so desperately to come true….

And if things go well after the wedding, it will….

"Hey, Midoriya? You ok? Looks like your eyes are about to burst right now." Kirishima whispered as he nudged Izuku to the side, allowing him to control himself and quickly wipe the tears off.

"...Sorry, Kirishima. Just….saw something precious regarding Eri and I ended up letting my imagination run wild. I'm fine. Really." Izuku explained truthfully, giving the hardening hero a reassuring smile.

"I believe I know of what you are talking about, Midoriya…." Tokoyami muttered with a hint of amusement as his gaze locked on the scene of Eri playing with baby Tenshi.

"Seems like someone's ready to expand their family, huh? Good for you, Midoriya." Ojiro said with a supportive smile and a pat on the back.

"Thanks, guys. I'm….actually really excited to make our family grow. I've been feeling this way ever since Tenshi's birth, and I know Ochako feels the same. Even Eri's wishing to be a big sister now. All that's left is to make our family truly official, then we can get started….at our own pace, of course." Izuku said, almost reverently, before becoming sheepish in the end, his scarred hand ghosting over one of his pockets. It was then that he decided to turn his attention to the bridesmaids, specifically Ochako, and noticed that her gaze was also towards Eri and Tenshi. Her own eyes were shimmering at the sight of them, and he knew immediately that she was having the same thoughts he had near moments ago. He saw the other bridesmaids whispering to her, most likely saying the same encouraging words his fellow groomsmen said to him, and couldn't help but smile at how much their shared friends supported them. It was then he saw her place a hand on her stomach, a soft, hopeful smile gracing her features before turning her head to him. Their gazes locked for a moment, light blushes forming on their faces as they smiled softly at one another. Before anything could be said, Tenya, Shoto, and Jiro appeared at the altar, indicating that the wedding was about to truly begin. As a result, the couple merely nodded at each other before focusing their attention on the ceremony….

In the end, everything went smoothly. Momo looked absolutely lovely in her elegant white and gold gown and the smiles on her and Shoto's faces were something that Izuku was going to remember for a long time. Throughout the entirety of the ceremony, he couldn't help but imagine himself and Ochako up there on the altar, both of them exchanging vows with him crying waterfalls in joy with her trying to console him with her own tears flying freely. His head was in the clouds so often that Kirishima ended up nudging him with his elbow to constantly snap him out of it, much to his embarrassment. On the plus side, it seemed that Ochako had similar thoughts if her longing gaze and Mina's constant, yet discrete, poking of her to pay attention was anything to go by. Regardless of his constant daydreaming, Izuku was happy and proud of both Shoto and Momo, and was happy that they were pledging their lives to each other. All in all, the wedding went very well. No attacks, invasions or emergency calls to be had throughout the entire process. It was perfect….and everyone couldn't be happier, especially the bride and groom, who shared a soft kiss as soon as Aizawa, begrudgingly, gave them the ok.

Once the main ceremony was over, the guests proceeded to make their way to the reception located in the school's cafeteria, all of them in a fair and happy mood for the couple in question. Izuku, Ochako and Eri were also making their way over to the building, the three of them having a pleasant talk to a few of their former classmates, when they started passing the auditorium. It was there that Izuku paused, staring at the building with eyes filled with nostalgia as the others continued on, completely unaware of his girlfriend and daughter also stopping to see what he was doing.

…I can't believe it's been six years now since I first came here. Six years since All Might gave me his power so that I can achieve my dream. And six years since I've met Ochako and we literally saved each others lives. In fact, even with One For All, I wouldn't even be where I am if it wasn't for her. I owe her so much for all she's done for me. The young man mused, a fond smile on his face as he continued to stare at the building before him as more memories filled his mind. …So much has happened since then, too. The USJ attack, the Summer Camp invasion and Kacchan's kidnapping , All Might's Battle with All For One, The Eight Precepts of Death, and even Gentle and La Brava. All that occurred just in our first year here, and things only got tougher from there. It was hard...and we barely survived it all by the skin of our teeth, but in the end, we pulled through stronger than when we came here. It's almost unreal, in a way. To think that I, who started out with nothing, not even a Quirk, would be standing here in front of the school of my dreams as a graduate, surrounded by Heroes of all kinds and even attending the wedding of a friend I would've never imagined myself having when I was a kid. And if it wasn't for a special few who helped and believed in me in the beginning…

Especially her…

The brightest smile appeared on Izuku's face at the thought of that particular individual, the one who had been with him since the beginning of his hero journey. First as acquaintances, then as fast friends, and eventually into something more, he would forever be grateful of the one who he saved, and in turn saved him on this very day six years ago, and as he subconsciously stepped forward towards the auditorium, he made a silent promise to himself to make her life with him as enjoyable as possible for her, for she deserved nothing less…

…Only to end up tripping over his feet the moment he made his way forward, which caused one thought to suddenly bubble up in his mind.

…Why does this feel familiar?

The answer to his thoughts came when he felt himself becoming weightless, and immediately did he recall a similar incident occurring to him when he was just fourteen. He then heard a pair of giggles from beside him and craned his head to see Ochako and Eri grinning at him and his current position, which forced a small laugh out of him too as his girlfriend proceeded to set him back to his original position.

"Sorry for using my Quirk on you without asking, but I figured it would've been bad luck, if you tripped, y'know." The gravity heroine grinned cheekily as she pressed her fingers together, releasing his gravity back to him and causing him to let out a bark of joyful laughter.

"Now where have I heard that before?" Izuku asked playfully, getting a bubble of laughter out of his girlfriend before she pulled him into a tight embraced, one that was happily returned.

"Hey, Dad? What happened? Why did you stop all of a sudden?" Eri asked as she walked over to the couple, curiosity obvious in her eyes.

"Just went on a bit of a nostalgic trip in my head, Eri. Nothing bad, I promise." Izuku assured, gently stroking Eri's hair as he spoke. "In fact, some of my thoughts involved your mother here, especially since today marks the first day we met. If it wasn't for her, I probably wouldn't even be here."

"Oh come on, Deku, I didn't do much," Ochako said in a bashful manner, causing Izuku to shake his head as he pulled her closer to him.

"You did so much for me, Ochako. More than you can ever imagine." Izuku assured, a soft expression gracing his features as he raised a hand to place a stray hair behind her ear, gently touching her face as he did so. "You were my first for a lot of things in my life, you know…. The first to believe in me. To admire me. To love me back. All that and more, I shared with you. Your support towards me…towards all of us in our class, for that matter, was one of the pillars of strength that I draw on whenever things get difficult. I can't imagine my life without you in it. I don't want to imagine my life without you in it. You're one of the best things that has ever happened to me, Ochako, and I will fight tooth and nail to make sure you stay in my life for as long as you want…"

"Oh….Izuku…."

She called him by his first name, something that rarely ever happened unless she was feeling very emotional. Considering his words and how he was acting, it made sense. He wasn't done, though. As happy as he was to see her looking so touched, there was still one last thing he needed to do. With renewed resolve, he gently let go of her and stepped back slightly before kneeling before her. He chuckled under his breath when he heard her gasp and Eri squeak. They knew what he was about to do. It was obvious at this point, but he had to continue on with it. Got to do everything proper, after all. With that, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small black box, one that he had kept hidden in his old room back at his mother's place for a good year now. He was grateful to her for keeping it, knowing full well that if he hid it in his own apartment, that Mikan would most likely find it and hide it in its personal pocket dimension that was the family couch.

He still had questions on how his quirky cat was able to hide a massive cookbook and a long cloak inside his couch, but that was for another time. He had other matters to tend to, and for that, he cleared his throat, opened the tiny box to reveal a gorgeous silver ring with a pink gem on top of it, and proceeded to say the words he had been wanting to say for the longest time.

"Ochako. You…. You've been in my mind since the day we met. You helped me so much on this day six years ago, from stopping me from faceplanting here before the exam started, to rescuing me from crash landing on the ground after I punched a giant robot to save you, and even offering to give some of your points to me just so I can pass. Ever since then, you been with me every step of the way. You're my best friend. You're my partner in crime-fighting. You're the love of my life. I want to spend every day of my life with you. I want Eri to have the best mother in the world to look after her. I want Mikan to have the one who gives him the attention he deserves. I...want to have a family with you. A bigger one. An official one. If...if it's ok with you, Ochako Uraraka...would...you marry m-"

"YES! YES, YES, A HUNDRED TIMES YES!" Ochako exclaimed, launching herself to him and practically squeezing the life out of him as she alternated between repeating her answer and peppering him with kisses. There were tears falling from both their faces as they laughed and embraced each other, completely ignoring the looks of intrigue and amusement. Even Eri was laughing and crying at the same time, happy that her caretakers were finally going to get married. It was a dream come true for her, and couldn't help but rush over to them and give them the tightest hug she could muster as soon as they stood up.

"Yay! You two are getting married next! Daddy, Mommy, I'm so happy for you!" She cheered, her words causing the couple's smile to grow even more, especially when they heard what she called them.

"...Daddy and Mommy, eh? Sounds like you're taking more after your mother now, huh, Eri?" Izuku joked, causing Eri to look at him oddly before replaying the words in her head, and proceeded to blush furiously at her childish way of referring her foster parents when she was suddenly picked up by Ochako and got multiple kisses on the cheek from her.

"Ooh, Eri, that was too adorable, I can barely stand it! You can call me Mommy as much as you want! There's nothing for you to be embarrassed about!" Ochako cooed, gently stroking Eri's hair as she began rocking the girl back and forth in a blissful manner, still on cloud nine from the proposal.

"I don't mind being called Daddy either, Eri, but don't force yourself. Call us whatever makes you the most comfortable, ok?" Izuku assured as he placed a gentle kiss on the girl's forehead before turning to Ochako in a sheepish manner as he held out the ring. "Um...Sorry to bother you, Ochako, but is it ok if I…."

"Huh? O-Oh yeah! Of course! I can't believe I forgot about it!" Ochako exclaimed, knowing exactly what her new fiancé was asking of him. With a wide smile, she set Eri down and allowed him to place the ring into her finger, both of them trembling as he did so. "I can't believe this is happening…. I've been dreaming about this for so long, but…. I didn't think it would happen this soon. During Todoroki and Yaomomo's wedding of all days, too!"

"Well, they already knew I was going to do it today. I asked if it was ok. I've been wanting to propose to you on this date for a good while, actually. It's just a coincidence that it also ended up being the day of their wedding. At least they were understanding." Izuku explained, a timid laugh and a hand scratching the back of his neck as he spoke when he felt something brush at his leg. Looking down, he noticed that it was Mikan rubbing his face on his pants, purring loudly before moving over to Ochako and doing the same, much to their amusement.

"Hi, Mikan. I guess you already know about the proposal, huh? I'm so happy that Mommy and Daddy are finally going to get married! Are you?" Eri asked as she grabbed the cat and hugged it tightly, smiling at the pleasant meow she got in return while Izuku and Ochako laughed at the pair.

"Well…. This has certainly been an eventful day. Can't wait to tell everyone at the reception what you did, hun. I bet they'll flip." Ochako said while giving Izuku a gentle nudge, grinning when he turned slightly red at her pet name for him.

"I'm sure they will, dear. Best to head out and break the ice now and get it over with." Izuku said with a shrug, smirking at the pink in his fiancée's cheeks grow darker at his counter via her pet name. Satisfied, he grabbed her hand along with Eri's and proceeded to make their way over to the reception area with Mikan trotting along right beside them.

Today marked the beginning of another chapter in their lives, one that will be filled with much more challenges than ever before. They will overcome it all, though, for all three are strong in their own ways. They are also not alone in their endeavors. Not anymore. They are now a true family of heroes now, and no matter what may happen to them, they will always be together.

For now. And forever.

"Hmm… I forgot Mina took a picture of us at that time. I should check this album here more often." Izuku muttered as the memory of his engagement faded, a serene look in his eyes as he leafed through the photo album in his hands, staring at the picture of him, Ochako, Eri and even Mikan standing close to one another with the lone brunette of the group holding out the ring he gave her all those years ago. The moment he saw it, he knew it was perfect for her, and he immediately went and bought it without even bothering to check the price. He may have had to sell a bit of his personal All Might memorabilia again in order to buy it, but it was a purchase that was well worth every yen it was worth.

Besides, he got the items he sold back after saving the collector he sold them to around a year later, and then some. Fellow enthusiasts can be so nice sometimes.

"Dad? Are you in here? I need to talk to you about tomorrow's mission." A voice called out to him from the hall, causing the man to smile brightly at the sound of it before turning to the doorway.

"I am, Eri. I was just going through the album again. Go ahead and come in." Izuku called out as he set the picture tome on his and Ochako's large bed, a necessary purchase due to a pair of certain individuals constantly climbing into their bed at night to scare off bad dreams. It was, again another wise purchase for them, even if Ochako was complaining about the payments until they were done.

"Ok, Dad. I'm coming." A soft, sweet voice stated as the door to his room opened, allowing him to see his now young adult of a daughter entering the room, sporting a sky blue tank top with white dress pants and her flowing ivory hair in a simple ponytail. It was a plain outfit, much like his own burnt orange shirt and blue shorts, but it looked good on her nonetheless. She actually looked quite similar to her adopted mother in terms of stature, if only a little slimmer and smaller in some areas. Nonetheless, she was gorgeous, and Izuku was proud with how much she as grown as a person, woman, and a hero.

There was a reason why she was one of the few chosen to intern under the number one hero, after all.

"Hey there, Eri. What did you want to talk about regarding the mission? I thought I covered everything that needed to be said in the meeting this morning." Izuku questioned as he watched his daughter sit down on the bed beside him, grabbing the album in the processes and started going through it herself while giving him an apologetic expression.

"Sorry, Dad, but I had to say that because Mom's in the living room watching the others. I didn't want her to know what we have planned next week." Eri explained in a hushed tone and a wink, causing Izuku to look at her in surprise for a moment before nodding in response.

"Right, gotcha. So you actually have manage to find someone to cover for you next week?" He asked, smiling at the wide grin he got in response.

"Yup. Got Satsuki to cover for me while I spend the day helping you and the others for Mom's special day. I'm actually surprised that you got the day off too, Dad. You have a much hard time getting out of work than I do, with you being the Symbol of Peace and all." Eri asked, blinking when she saw Izuku smiling widely at her statement

"You can thank Kacchan for that. He's been itching for action ever since he and Camie came back from vacation, so I gave him some of my hero jobs as compensation before he has to go back to work as a UA professor. I got a whole three days off as a result." He explained, getting an excited gasp out of Eri before she dove into him and embraced him as tightly as she could.

She was learning a lot from her mother, it seemed.

"Dad, that's so cool! I can't believe you got so lucky! We have to tell the others about this! They'll be so ha-"

"BIG BRO!"

*fwoosh!*

"Wah! Mom, help!"

"Reiko! Stop! Leave Toshi alone!"

Izuku and Eri practically launched themselves out of their bed at the sound of shouting worry creeping up their spines as they began to think the worst. Rushing out of the room the two made their way to the living room to see what was happening, and sight in relief when they realized that no one was hurt.

"Reiko, sweetie, calm down! You know Toshi didn't mean to break your toy." Ochako Midoriya, a full grown adult and pro hero who was currently in a red tank top and black calf-length capris, stated to the young, freckled faced girl with green hair held back by a red hairband dressed in a red shirt and blue overalls before her.

"I don't care! Big Bro broke my favorite toy of you, Mommy! Big Sis gave it to me just like she gave him the toy of Dad! It's broke and it can't be fixed!" The girl, Reiko Midoriya, exclaimed, small bursts of fire escaping from her mouth throughout her tantrum as a young boy in a yellow All Might shirt and light brown shorts with frizzy brunette hair, freckles on his nose and little finger pads on his left hand, started to back away from his infuriated sister while staring at an action figure of the mighty Uravity, his mother, with the arm broken off.

"I-I'm sorry, Rei! It was an accident! Honest! We can get Sis to fix it up good as new! She can rewind time, remember! I bet she can make it so that it was never broken in the first place!" Hiroaki Toshinori Midoriya, or Toshi by most, exclaimed in hopes of trying to calm the fire breathing child down.

"Eh… Sorry, Toshi. My Quirk doesn't work on toys. It only works on living things, remember? Watch." Eri said, getting the attention of the other occupants of the room as she placed a hand on her father's arm as her horn began to glow. A few moments later, one of the more recent scars that were scattered all over the Pro Hero's party faded away into nothingness.

"…Eri, what have I told you about using your Quirk on me like that without permission?" Izuku said with a stern gaze, his mouth twitching upwards slightly when Eri responded with a shrug.

"Hey, if it helps keeping you alive and keeping Mom from getting too upset with you for doing something stupidly reckless again, I'll take the heat." Eri countered bluntly, smirking when she heard her mother and siblings snickering at her exasperated father's expense, before picking up her broken old toy and stared at it curiously. "Hmm…this doesn't look too bad, actually. I'm pretty sure Dad can fix it right up."

"Really? Can you, Daddy?" Reiko asked, looking up at her father with hopeful chocolate brown eyes.

"Hmm… Yeah, I think I can. It's no different from the hero models I make from time to time. I'll just take it to my room and fix it up there. I'll call you and your brother when its ready, princess. In the meantime, how about you spend some time with your actual mom for a little bit. She's much more fun than a simple toy of her, I can tell you that much." Izuku said with a wink towards his wife, who blushed lightly at his words before a small smirk formed on her own face.

"I could say the same about you, hun. I think I'll have some fun with you later tonight." Ochako said as she stood up to her tip toes and gave her husband a quick peck on the lips just as Rei went and hugged her father's leg.

"Yay! Thanks Daddy! You're the best!" Reiko cheered, causing the father to grin and pat her head as his son walked over to him as well with a grateful expression.

"Thanks for the help Dad. I didn't think Rei's toy would break after I let it go from my Zero Gravity Quirk, but I guess I had it in the air too high." Toshi apologized, smiling when he felt his father ruffle his bushy hair.

"Don't worry about it, champ. Accidents happen. Just remember to learn from them or else you end up repeating it at a later time. Trust me on this." Izuku said as he pointed at his heavily scarred right arm, a perfect example of being reckless and not learning from past mistakes. "Alright, I'll get to work on this nice and quick. I'll call you guys when its done. And after that, how about I whip us something good for us tonight. How does katsudon sound?"

"Sounds like a delicious idea, Izuku. Hurry with fixing toy me up so you can fix us up with some grub!" Ochako grinned as Reiko and Toshi cheered at the promise of one of their favorite dishes while Eri started to drool a little as she began imagining the dish.

All Izuku could do was shake his head as he made his way back to his shared bedroom, a happy smile on his face as he closed the door and dug into his desk for his model supplies, passing by and petting a dozing Mikan on one of Ochako's dressers, who was still kicking after so many years. In all his life, he never expected that fixing up a replica of his wife in order to appease his daughter would be considered a regular thing in his life, but that is exactly what he was doing. It was surreal in a way…and he didn't have the heart to complain. This was his life now: Working as the Symbol of Peace with the Zero Gravity Heroine as his partner and wife and his eldest daughter working under him as an intern while also raising two more kids with special Quirks to call their own. It wasn't the life that he was expecting, but it was a life worth living for.

After all, he was Izuku 'Deku' Midoriya, the New Symbol of Peace. He was a savior to the public. A menace to the League of Villains. A close friend to many, and a mortal enemy to some. He is the hero that he always dreamed of being…and so much more. He is a pet owner. He is a husband. He is a father. A son, friend, blood brother, pupil, teacher, and much more. He was more than just a hero…

He was a Domestic Hero… And he wouldn't have it any other way

Final Prompt: I love you

Author's Notes: And that, my friends, is that! The final chapter of Domestic Heroes for you all to enjoy. Hope you all liked the little twist in the end here! As you can guess, every story mentioned in this fic was more or less a flashback! I wanna say that I had this planned since the beginning, but to be honest, this idea of mine just popped up half way through the challenge. I think I made the right decision in that regard. This story has taken a lot out of me, I won't lie. I can't tell you how discouraged I often got throughout the whole project. With Viridescent, one of, if not the, best MHA fanfic out there getting updated semi-regularly, new well written stories coming out of the woodwork, older authors either updating their fics finally or bringing something new to the table, and so much more, it took a lot of effort on my part to keep going. If it wasn't for the good people at the IzuOcha Discord, I doubt I would've been able to finish this fic. I owe them a lot for their encouraging words, helping me with editing, accepting my request for actual fanart for this piece, and much much more.

Among these people from the Discord, I would like to especially thank Bakufan15, writer of a couple good MHA fanfics and one of the first people who subbed my work. A constant editor of my work by the name Mumblesnake. And Mika, one of the best artists on the server, for not only allowing me to use her art as the cover for this fic, but also for allowing me to use her IzuOcha children for this story! They are both precious little children and you should learn more about them in Mika's tumblr: green-tea-is-love. Shoutout to them and more for their support!

And with that all said and done, I would like to thank each and every single one of you who have read, followed and favored this fic. It means so much that all of you have enjoyed my work. After this, it is back to work on some things that I've been ignoring for a good while, along with working on a few side projects along the way. One of the side projects I'm planning includes a more detailed version of the Vacation story I've done here. It will be abound 7 or 8 chapters, so look forward to that! With that all said, thank you all so much for enjoying my work, everyone. I can't thank you all enough for taking a moment of your time to read this. I hope to see you all in other projects that I'll be working on, and I will see you all another time.

Until then, farewell... And remember...

GO BEYOND! PLUS ULTRA!
