Authors Note
Welcome All! I should probably start leaving notes and stuff here. I just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone who has read my story up to this point. Izumina is one of my favorite ships of all time and I'm glad quite a few of you enjoy it.
Now, I've been posting updates since the beginning of the year and I've gotta say... I'm feeling a bit of burnout. I've never been so commited to writing something like this but it's got such a cool following that I don't want to collapse from lack of ideas or motivation. So I'll probably take longer breaks between updates but I'll keep doing my best to write more chapters.
That's all for now but again. Thank you guys so much for reading, I really appreciate it. Love you guys! See ya!
Shota Aizawa is a very cut to the point kind of man. He's not one to beat around the bush, but a recent situation has caused him to evaluate his next approach.
He was reviewing the recordings of the dormitory's security cameras at a fast-paced speed when he saw something that caught his eye. Mina walking into Bakugo's room then being tossed out of it with soot in her hair. It doesn't take a genius to see that Bakugo did something that would ward massive punishment. However, Aizawa decided to look into matters further. For instance, why didn't Mina tell a teacher what happened? Secondly, how was he gonna punish Bakugo. He aimed to figure this all out, fast.
He was positive that Mina would be with Izuku later. So, he made a quick decision. Time to make some calls.
Meanwhile, Izuku had been the first to wake up. Upon waking, he was greeted with the same sight as the previous night. However, now he had his girlfriend with him. Funny how thinking of that one word makes his cheeks blush. He decided to get up and shower, Eri did tell him he smelled yesterday. After a quick shower he went downstairs and started making breakfast for his entire class but made sure to set special plates aside for his little family.
Classmates started waking up and thanking Izuku when they came down but some were a bit more chatty.
"Morning, Deku!" Uraraka greeted
Izuku turned to her "Good Morning, Uraraka. Hungry? I can cook some more up for you"
Uraraka nodded "I'd really appreciate that... I do have a question though."
Izuku raised an eyebrow "Okay sure."
Uraraka blushed and rubbed the back of your head "I promise... Not to tell anyone but... Are you and Mina... A couple?"
Izuku blushed heavily and slowly nodded yes "... Y-Yeah... Please don't tell anyone."
Uraraka looked super happy for them but calmed down and nodded "You can count on me best bud" she gave him a winning smile.
Meanwhile a tiny yawn was made as a clear indication that Eri was waking up. She looked to her side and saw Mina in a snoring frenzy. Eri giggled and got out of the bed carefully. She then looked to Mina... Feeling like she should do something before she left, so she put her Deku plush next to Mina's head and softly said "We can share him." As she kissed her Mimi's head
Eri was still in her fruit nightgown as she held her Mina plush and walked down the halls softly saying "Papa?" To see if he would hear her.
All she heard in response was the sound of voices and cooking coming from downstairs. She slowly followed the voices, remembering the layout enough to get her to the lobby.
Todoroki was talking with Momo when he noticed Eri at the top of the stairs. He looked to Izuku. "Midoriya" he said to get his attention.
Izuku looked and saw Todoroki point to the top of the steps, once he looked he saw his precious little unicorn, Eri. "Morning Eri. You're up early. Did you sleep well?"
Eri smiled at seeing her papa and happily nodded yes as she slowly made her way down the steps. Every student immediately picked up on the fact that Eri was holding a cute Mina plush!
Toru walked up to Eri and helped her onto a chair to sit at the table "Wow Eri! Cool plushie!"
Eri's eyes sparkled "Thank you! Momo made it for me!" She said with a big smile.
Momo started blushing "Oh it was nothing, Eri."
"You're really good with kids, Yaoyorozu" Todoroki stated.
Momo immediately blushed harder "Huh? N-No it's no big deal!"
Eri smiled at her until a plate was placed in front of her. "Here you go. I made them special for you" said Izuku
Eri looked at the plate and her eyes grew wide. Pancakes, two, delicious, fluffy pancakes with some maple syrup on the side. She noticed though that there were some chunks in the pancakes. "What's that, papa?" She said while pointing at a chunk
Izuku chuckled "Why not take a bite and try it out?"
Eri nodded and picked it up with her hands and took a big bite. Apple. She knew that taste anywhere. Juicy chunks of apple were placed in her pancakes and she was loving it. "Itsh sho gooooood" said Eri, in a state of pure bliss.
Izuku smiled at her as everyone giggled at the child's expression.
"What's so funny..." Everyone had just noticed Bakugo had entered the room
Izuku instantly fell silent and shivered. "Hey, nerd! Make some for me would ya!" Bakugo shouted
"Y-You got it, K-Kachan" Izuku started making Bakugo pancakes as everyone basically tried to mind their own business.
However, Eri noticed how Bakugo was treating her papa, and she didn't like it one bit.
Bakugo looked at her then scoffed, turning the other way.
"You're so mean" Eri stated plainly. The classroom tried to wave their hands at her as if to say stop talking.
Izuku froze. He took a peek at Bakugo who was holding back his anger.
Bakugo looked right at the kid "Listen here, kid... I'm the best hero in this entire school, and I'll continue to be the best until I graduate and become the number one hero. So I don't care what you say or do. But keep your thoughts to yourself, or else."
Eri shivered in fear but... Also tried to look brave...
Iida interjected "Bakugo! You can't talk to her like that! She's a victim of cruel and unusual abuse!"
Bakugo grit his teeth, he was getting real tired of hearing the abuse excuse.
"Eri. Come here" Izuku stated sternly.
Eri followed orders and stuck by Izuku's side. Everyone was currently giving Bakugo a death glare.
Eri looked at Bakugo then turned to Izuku "He's a butt, papa"
Everyone resisted the urge not to laugh but Bakugo was slowly losing his mind until a plate was put in front of him.
The plate of pancakes distracted him long enough for Izuku to use his full cowling to grab a plate of pancakes, grab Eri, and boost upstairs.
Jirou was currently walking to the stairs when she noticed a flash pass her "Woah!"
She saw it go into Izuku's room and lock the door. Jirou wanted to ask but decided she would go eat first.
As she made it to the kitchen she could see multiple people crowding Bakugo.
"You can't treat her like that, Bakugo-chan!" Tsuyu yelled
"You have to show kindness to her!" Momo stated
"This isn't a damn daycare! That little brat shouldn't even be here!" Bakugo retorted
"Are you talking about Eri?" Jirou asked very clearly agitated "What did you do?!"
Bakugo got fed up at the voice of Jirou and got in her face "I didn't do shit! I introduced myself!"
"By insulting the rest of us" Todoroki added
Bakugo grunted and finally just got up from his seat and went outside to train and defuse his anger.
Everyone shared glances at each other. Honestly, what could they do? Bakugo was too hard headed for any sort of stern talking to but he should be considerate of Eri's feelings.
Meanwhile, Mina had been snoozing up a storm until Eri gently shook her awake "Wake up, Mama." Eri whispered
Mina groaned slightly before being greeted with the sight of Izuku and Eri smiling at her. She couldn't resist letting a giggle out "You guys are such cute beans" said Mina
Mina got up and all three sat on the bed as Mina began to eat. "Morning guys! And Thanks!"
Eri cheered "Morning Mama!"
Izuku blushed deeply "M-Morning, M-Mina... Hey um... I-I have something I want to a-ask you guys... You remember Aizawa's offer right?"
They both nodded
Izuku sighed "... What do you guys think of the house option?..."
Mina smirked "I'm fine with it. How bout you, Eri?"
Eri played with her fingers "... Will... Will I still see the others? Like big sis Jirou and Momo?"
Izuku smiled wide "Of course. We'd just have to walk back to the dorms and see them."
Eri perked up "Then... I want the house!"
Mina looked to Izuku and just looking at his smile melted her heart "You're so Midorable"
Izuku turned to her and blushed hard "Th-Thank you, Mina"
They shared a longing gaze until Eri waved a hand in front of them. "Come on, Mama and Papa. We gotta tell Mr Aizawa."
Mina gobbled up her food and got dressed with Eri as they made their way to principle Nezu's office.
Mina started getting an awkward feeling along the way, like a sixth sense something would go wrong.
Finally, they made it to his office and Izuku opened the doors to see Principle Nezu, Mr Aizawa and All Might.
"A little early but I see no reason to delay this any longer" Nezu spoke as happily as ever "So Mr Midoriya, Have you come to a decision?"
Izuku took a deep breath "Yeah. Can we please go with the house or uh cottage option?"
Nezu nodded in agreement "I'm glad you chose that option. Now, moving onto pressing matters. I would like you both to go to your homes for two days."
Mina and Izuku were a little stunned. "Is something wrong?" Izuku asked
Nezu chuckled "Building a house does take time. Not to mention something Aizawa told me earlier"
Aizawa stood up "I believe I made it clear that if Bakugo or Mineta stepped out of line, you should contact me."
Izuku waved his hands "I-It wasn't that bad, Mr Aizawa! Eri just spoke her mind this morning."
Aizawa shook his head no "While I did see that earlier that's not what I'm referring to..." He looked at Mina.
Mina began to sweat bullets "U-Um... Then what are you referring to?"
Aizawa sighed "Tell the truth, Mina... What happened yesterday between you and Bakugo?"
Izuku looked shocked then looked to Mina as Eri did the same.
"... He ... It's... It's nothing... I just-" Mina was cut off
"Young Ashido ... It's okay..." All Might said softly
Mina took a breath. Feeling everyone's eyes on her like this was a bit rough. "Midori had entrusted stories with me, stories about his past with Bakugo, his sadness, his depression, and more... I slowly grew to loath Bakugo. Bakugo however, started picking up that I knew something. So, he asked me to go to his room yesterday and talk... He... Did most of the talking... Then I left! Nothing happened! I promise!" She put on a classic Ashido smile.
"Mina..." Aizawa said in an unusual comforting tone. Izuku was really worried now. What had she been lying about?
Mina froze... Then just let it all out "... Bakugo got angry with me... So I got angry back and slapped him in the face... He then exploded my face and kicked me out of his room..."
Izuku's fists went from numb to tightened, the thought of Bakugo putting his hands on Mina was flat out unacceptable. Izuku grit his teeth but All Might grabbed his shoulder and quickly calmed him down.
"That being said" Aizawa spoke " I want you two to go home, while we deal with Bakugo. Izuku, I'm sending Eri with you, All Might will be there as well so he can easily contact us if a problem arises."
Midoriya looked terrified "Th-That means my mom will-"
Mina suddenly clung to Izuku's arm "I'm staying with Midori and Eri!"
Nezu chuckled "You can discuss that when your parents pick you up."
"M-Mom is coming here?!" Izuku panicked
Mina blushed "Crap... How am I gonna explain this to mom and dad..."
Eri was getting worried really fast. Were her parents splitting up? Was she going to lose one of them?
Izuku and Mina saw Eri getting nervous and quickly hugged her.
"I'm not going anywhere without you." Izuku whispered to her.
Mina nodded "You're too precious."
Eri let a tear escape as she hugged her parents. All Might opened the door to Nezu's office. "Let's hurry, guys. They're on their way." All Might said calmly.
They all slowly got up and went to their dorms to pack essentials for two days. Classmates asked questions but All Might told them he would explain later.
As they approached the front gate of U.A. , Izuku and Mina had a death lock grip of each other's hands. They didn't want to be apart, they only just realized their feelings for each other!
The Ashido's soon pulled up and got out of the car. Izuku quickly connected the dots to understand that they were Mina's parents. Mina's father, who dressed in black work pants, nice work shoes and a shirt with the logo of a heavy metal band, had two long horns on his cranium that curled upwards. Mina's mother was a light pink skinned woman with the same pitch black eyes and golden iris as her daughter, she wore a lavender t-shirt with black jeans and high heels.
They approached All Might and the dad looked ecstatic.
"No way! All Might! It's a pleasure to meet you sir! Thanks for all you've done for our daughter, as well as the entire world!" The husband yelled as All Might recoiled. Mina expected this but Izuku and Eri were taken by surprise.
The wife gave a fake cough and the dad quickly went back to being a proper parent. "My apologies, My name Kenta Ashido and this is my lovely wife Chizeru Ashido." Both shook hands with All Might.
Chizeru quickly noticed a boy holding her daughter's hand and smiled ear to ear "Oh dear! Could it be that you've finally found your soulmate, Mina?!" Chizeru was practically glowing with excitement.
Mina blushed hard "Hehe s-something like that Mom."
Eri tugged at Mina's hand "Mommy? Do you know them?"
Kenta and Chizeru froze and looked at the girl before looking at the boy behind Mina.
Izuku was sweating bullets and was five seconds from using full cowling to leave but thankfully All Might interrupted the awkward moment.
All Might put his hand on Izuku's shoulder "Before you folks come to any conclusions, the reason the young one calls her that is due to Mina being a very supportive role model to her. She's done the same with this young man."
Izuku decided to raise his hand slowly "H-Hello. I'm I-Izuku M-Midoriya." He tried offering his hand for a handshake to them.
The blank look on there faces was worrisome until Chizeru suddenly hugged Midoriya "Awww he's so shy! Why didn't you tell us you found such a keeper?"
Mina blushed and kept looking anywhere but to her parents "Uhhh it just happened last night"
Kenta stepped in "Okay you guys, let's breath here."
All Might nodded "Agreed. Please. Get back in your vehicle and follow ours. I've already informed Midoriya's mother of our visit"
Izuku was about to interrupt him but decided to avoid any more awkwardness until they were in the car.
Izuku, Mina and Eri stayed with All Might in his car and since they didn't have a booster seat for Eri. She had to sit in Mina's lap.
While they were driving, Izuku finally spoke up "Why are we all going to my mom's house?"
"Eri prefers it when you're both with her, we have yet to see how she acts in too many different environments and if she's going to be in one, we want you both to stay with her, plus your house is closer to U.A.. I also want both of your parents to meet so you don't have to worry about hiding anything, being together, or anything else." All Might responded.
Izuku smiled "I guess that is true... Wait does my mom know about Eri?"
All Might started sweating "Uhhh no... Sorry. It's hard to remember all this"
Izuku jittered with nervousness. He sat in his chair just imagining his mother flooding their apartment complex with tears of happiness or just fainting.
Mina and Eri tapped his should and he turned to them only to see two confident cuties giving him a thumbs up, which calmed him down and gave him ease.
Finally they were all walking up the stairs to her house and Izuku started knocking only for the door to open and reveal Izuku's mother, Inko!
Inko nearly burst through the door to capture her son in a bone breaking hug "Oh Izuku! I missed you!" She saw her guests with him and set Izuku down "I'm glad to have you all over. Please come in!" She greeted warmly.
As everyone entered, Eri was the only one to walk right up to Inko. "Excuse me" she said sheepishly "Are... Are you Deku's mommy?"
Inko couldn't surgically remove the smile from her face. "Yep! He's my little boy!"
Eri smiled wide and suddenly hugged her "Grandma!" 'My family is still getting bigger!'
Inko blushed before immediately hugging Eri back and gushing waterfalls of happy tears. "Izukuuuuu!!!" Izuku quickly tried to calm his mom down and explain things.
Mina ,who stayed by her parents, was so proud of Eri. She wanted to introduce herself to Inko but... She figured she'd be more formal with All Might and her parents around.
After calming down , Inko looked to Mina and walked over to her. "All Might told me you were quite the happy-go-lucky girl... I'd like to talk with you more but I'm afraid all the adults need to talk right now. Sorry." Inko handed Eri to Mina.
Mina was glad she would still be given a chance and saw Izuku out of the corner of her eyes, motioning her to his room. The adults sat down to discuss as Mina and Eri joined Izuku in his All Might themed room.
Inko and the Ashido's sat down with All Might sitting next to Inko. "So..." Kenta started "Earlier on the phone you said it might be hard to separate them, All Might." He looked to the former number one hero. "Hate to say it but its near impossible."
All Might sighed "I know... I've never seen two people connect quite as fast as they have."
"That being said" Kenta began "I'm not exactly thrilled that my daughter will be staying with her boyfriend, in his room none the less!"
Inko spoke up "Mr Ashido with all do respect, My Izuku would never even consider something like that!"
Chizeru chimed in "Come on, Kenta. Don't you think you're being a bit hard headed?"
Kenta looked at her like she was crazy "So you're fine with some boy, you just met spending most of his alone time with our daughter?"
Chizeru smiled wide "Kenta... That boy has no ill will and you know it. He's even raising a little girl!"
Kenta sighed "I just... I wanna protect our little girl..."
All Might chuckled "If you've ever seen Young Midoriya fight. You'd know there's no place safer than right by his side. Just ask Eri"
Kenta sighed "Yeah... Guess your right"
Back to our little family, Eri looked around and noticed quite a few toys strewn about. She was about to start playing until she saw her parents sitting on Izuku's bed looking like they wanted to be back at the dorms right now.
Eri immediately ran and hugged them. "Don't be sad!" Eri pleaded
Izuku pet her head and looked to Mina who leaned against his shoulder
Mina took a deep breath "I don't wanna go home... I wanna stay with you two" she felt Izuku put his arm around her shoulder.
"Don't worry..." Izuku said while looking focused "No matter what they say or do. Even if All Might says no. I'll do whatever I can to keep us all together."
Mina looked up at his face in shock for a moment before settling into a smile. "You're so sappy"
Izuku began to blush himself into a tomato "W-Was it that b-bad?"
Mina chuckled and kissed his nose "I never said it was bad, Izu~" they shared a long loving look until both of them remembered... Eri was there.
Eri simply grinned "So you're not sad anymore?"
Mina giggled and nodded yes, Izuku wanted to smile but due to finally being given a calm moment, had time to realize... Mina got hurt and she didn't tell him. 'Does she not trust me?' Izuku thought. 'She told me if anything bothered me to let her know... That applies to her too right? Why would she hide what Bakugo did to her from me?'. Izuku suddenly got up and walked to the door.
"Izuku? Where ya goin?" Mina asked.
"I'm uh... I'm going to get food for dinner tonight. I'll be back, help yourself to whatever's in my room." Before Mina or Eri could retort, he'd left.
Izuku was walking to the door to leave but walked past the parental discussion zone.
Kenta looked at him "Hey there boy! Mind if I ask you something?"
Izuku stopped in his tracks, nervous out of his mind and nodded yes.
Kenta took a deep breath "How do you really feel about my daughter?"
Chizeru, All Might and Inko wanted to know this answer as well and though the pressure was put on Izuku. He knew what to say.
"I feel ... like she's the embodiment of everything I want to protect. Her smile brings me so much joy, it hurts. She became a willing mother for Eri in the blink of an eye. She taught me how to let loose and dance... Simply put sir, there's nothing I wouldn't do for her... As far as I feel?... I feel like... I'm in love with her, sir."
Inko and the Ashido's were stunned, All Might however, knew. He knew that Izuku wouldn't love someone for looks or expecting something in return. The Ashido's were at a loss, they just met this boy and yet he wasn't afraid to bare his soul to them.
Kenta stood up and put a hand on the Izuku's shoulder "... I'd like to talk to you more freely about this one day, buddy"
All Might stood up "This meeting was to decide on one thing."
Chizeru stood up "If we can trust our daughter to stay with you" she smiled and crossed her arms "I'd say he's more than trustworthy"
Inko smiled wide "Don't worry. I'll keep an eye on them both" both mother's chuckled
Kenta smiled "Welp. I think it's time we get going. Mina!"
Mina and Eri rushed to the living room. Mina had a big smile on her face "I... Uh... Heard everything."
Eri smiled "Me too!" She leaped to Kenta "Bye Grandpa!"
Kenta's eyes opened wide "welp... I'm old now... But hey. At least this cute one is around to liven things up. See you soon, Eri"
Eri chuckled as she went from hugging Kenta to hugging Chizeru "Bye Grandma!"
Chizeru swung her around in the hug "Oh my goodness, you are just too cute!"
Everyone in the room couldn't help but smile. Only a week ago, this girl was shy, secluded and had no bright future ahead of her. Now, thanks to Izuku and Mina, she was as happy as any six year old could be.
Shortly after saying their goodbye's, the Ashido's left. Izuku was given a list of thing they needed for dinner by his mother.
Once he left though, Eri quickly went to Inko's side to learn more about her and hopefully Deku. Mina, however was confronted by All Might.
Inko started getting pots and pans out while Eri watched. "Grandma?" Eri asked "What's for dinner?"
Inko smiled cheerfully "Well, in celebration of his new daughter and girlfriend. I'm making Izuku's favorite, Katsudon."
Eri tilted her head "Catsoowhat?"
Inko giggled "Don't worry. I'm sure you'll like it. Izuku's loved this stuff since he was little!"
Eri's interest suddenly perked up "What was papa like when he was little?"
Inko hearing Eri refer to Izuku as papa felt weird but... It felt nice too. "Hehe... He was such a happy little boy. He used to play heroes all the time. He'd dress up as All Might and pretend to beat up bad guys. I bet we still have his onesies around here somewhere" Inko laughed until she saw the gleam in Eri's eyes.
Eri blushed "Can... Can I try one on?"
Inko smiled warmly "I'll look for it after dinner okay, dear?" Eri nodded happily and did whatever she could to help.
Mina watched the two discuss not knowing that All Might sat next to her. "So, young Ashido..." Mina snapped to attention and looked at All Might. "How have you been?"
Mina smiled wide "I've been great! Gotta say I never thought I'd have my own little fam at this point in my life but hey! Why not, right? Plus they're both super cute!"
All Might smiled at that then felt he had to be stern "Young Ashido..." Mina looked to him with confusion. "What has Young Midoriya told you... About his quirk?"
