You sigh in relief as you finish putting away the last of the dishes. "Finally! I'm done unpacking everything in the kitchen!" You put your hands on your hips and lean backwards, trying to pop your back. "Now to see how Ichigo is doing with his room." You make your way out of the kitchen of your small apartment and then through the living room to a short hallway. Here there are three doors: the door on the left leads to your bedroom, the door on the right leads to your son, Ichigo's, room, and the door at the end leads to the bathroom. The door to Ichigo's room is open and you see your adorable red haired son arranging his hero chibi dolls on his bed. Of course, chibi you and All Might are front and center on the bed. Looking around the room, you see utter chaos: there's piles of clothes and toys all over the floor. You sigh and enter the room. You begin picking up Ichigo's clothes, folding them, then putting them away in his dresser drawers. You watch as Ichigo hugs his All Might chibi tightly, "Momma? Do you think we will meet All Might while we're here?"

You hum and smile at him, "I don't know, lil' Strawberry. His headquarters are located in Minato and we live in Musutafu...but anything is possible." You continue to fold clothes and put them away, "Did you know, mommy used to work with All Might?"

Ichigo's face lights up in excitement, "Really?!"

"Yep. Pick up your toys and I'll tell you about it."

He jumps up off of his bed, "Okay!"

Ichigo begins to pick up his toys and put them away. You smile fondly, "I knew All Might long before he was a hero. I first met him when we were ten years old. He was being picked on by the school bullies because his quirk hadn't manifested yet and I decided to help him. After that day, we became the best of friends. Shortly before taking our entrance exam for UA, his quirk finally manifested."

"What exactly is All Might's quirk, momma?"

You frown slightly, "I don't know. I don't think anyone knows except for All Might himself. Anyway, All Might and I both ended up getting into the hero course at UA. After we graduated, he went to America for a while and I went to Ireland for a year."

"Is that when you met daddy?"

You finish folding and putting away Ichigo's clothes. "No, I met your father many years later. Once I returned to Japan, I ran into All Might again while fighting a team of villains and we decided to team up to take them down. We were a duo for a year before I moved to Ireland. I haven't seen him in person since." Ichigo puts the last of his toys away, "Now how about we go out to eat?"

"Can we get ice cream after?"

"Of course, we can."

"Can I wear my new All Might shirt?"

You chuckle, "I don't see why not." You pull the blue shirt with red and white patterns on it like on All Might's costume out of the shirt drawer. Ichigo pulls off the shirt he's currently wearing over his head and you slip the new shirt on.

The two of you then leave your new apartment and as you're locking the door, the neighboring door to the right of yours opens and a teenage boy with green hair, green eyes, and freckles on his cheeks steps out. The boy nearly runs into you, but manages to stop in time. He quickly apologizes, "I'm so sorry, ma'am!" He bows to you.

Ichigo hides behind your legs. You wave off the teenager's apology, "It's okay. No harm done."

A green haired, fluffy woman with green eyes walks out of the same door as the teenage boy. "Izuku? What's going on?" She sees you and Ichigo, "Oh! You must be our new neighbors! My name is Midoriya Inko and this is my son Izuku." She says bowing and Izuku follows her lead, bowing as well while saying a quiet hello.

You bow back to them, "I'm (L/N) (F/N). And this bashful little fellow is my son Ichigo. Come on out and say hello to our new neighbors, little red."

"I don't want to, momma." Ichigo buries his face into your legs causing you to chuckle.

The new language peaks Izuku's interest and he curiously asks, "I know that you spoke to Ichigo-san in English, but I've never heard the language that he responded in. May I ask where you are from (L/N)-san?"

"Well, we just moved here from Ireland, but I was born in Japan. I moved to Ireland 18 years ago." You nudge Ichigo, "Stop being rude to our neighbors, Ichigo. Come out and greet them like I showed you."

Ichigo slowly steps out from behind your legs. He bows, "Hello. It's very nice to meet you." He then returns to hiding behind your legs.

You chuckle slightly, "Please forgive Ichigo for his rudeness earlier. He's still learning Japanese customs."

"Oh, that's okay. Don't worry about it, (L/N)-san!" Inko says with a big smile.

Izuku bends down to be at eye level with Ichigo, "Hi. I see that you're wearing an All Might shirt. Do you like All Might?"

Ichigo pulls his face away slightly, "He's my favorite hero along with momma."

Izuku and Inko look surprised, "You're a hero, (L/N)-san?! Are you famous? What's your hero name? What quirk do you have? Can I see it sometime? Do you mind if I take notes about you?" Izuku eagerly asks one question after another in rapid succession.

You blink in surprise, "Whoa...one question at a time please." You hear a small giggle from Ichigo. "Yes, I am a hero, but I'm going to be focusing more of my time teaching the next generation of heroes at UA in 4 months than fighting crime."

Izuku's eyes widen, "You're going to be a teacher at UA?!"

"Yep! I'm famous in Ireland, but I'm sure that nobody in Japan remembers me. My hero name is (H/N) and my quirk..."

Izuku gasps loudly and there are now stars in his eyes. "Wait! You mean you're (H/N)?! The same (H/N) that used to be in a crime fighting duo with All Might?!"

You smile at him, "The very same and I was apparently wrong when I thought that nobody would remember me here. Are you going to be taking the entrance exam for UA, Midoriya-san?"

He nods happily, "Yep! I'm training almost every day in the mornings and after school. I get Sunday off to rest. What course are you going to be teaching (L/N)-san?"

"That's good. I will be teaching Advanced Hero Basics and I will also be helping with Foundational Hero Basics. I hope to see you there Midoriya-san." You bow to the mother and son.

They bow back and Inko cheerfully says, "If there's anything that you ever need, just knock on our door and we'll be happy to help."

You rub the back of your neck, "Actually, do you know of any family restaurants in the area? I haven't been here for years and the only place I can think of is Jiraiya's and that's not exactly a kid friendly environment."

"There's a restaurant not very far from here near Tatooin Station. I used to take Izuku there when he was younger. I believe it's called Baratie's. Jiraiya's closed nearly 7 years ago when he unfortunately passed away."

"Aww, I'm sorry to hear that. I was looking forward to stopping by and seeing that old pervert again." You see Izuku blush at the word pervert.

Ichigo tugs on your pant leg, "Momma, what's a prevert?"

You laugh when Ichigo mispronounces the word, "A pervert is a man who likes to flirt and chase after women way too much."

Ichigo frowns, "But daddy likes to flirt and chase you...does that mean daddy is a prevert?"

You toss back your head back and laugh loudly. "Yes, it does. And the next time you talk to him on the phone make sure you call him that, sweetheart." You chuckle to yourself.

"Oh, does your husband not live with you?" Inko asks.

You shake your hand, "We're not married. We're not even dating. Uh, ...I had a, um, a...moment of weakness...about five years ago and, honestly, Ichigo's father is actually quite charming. Nine months later, my little ray of sunshine was born." You hesitate for a moment before asking, "Would you two like to join us for lunch? My treat."

"That's so kind of you, but we just ate. Now we're going to go shopping at Wookies which is Kiyashi Ward's Shopping Mall in Tokyo. We have to take a train so we can walk with you as far as Tatooin Station if you like."

You smile at Inko, "That sounds wonderful. Thank you." The four of you start to walk down the hall and when you reach the stairs you pick Ichigo up in your arms. You put him down after walking down the five flights of stairs. You take Ichigo's hand as you all walk down the sidewalk. Izuku finally gets Ichigo to come out of his shell by talking with him about All Might. Meanwhile, you and Inko exchange stories about your sons.
