Eri walked into the kitchen to the sound of singing and the smell of food. Carefully, she poked her head around the corner to see her Father and Mother cooking and acting like newlyweds; it was adorable. But that still didn't stop the confusion. Neither of them was supposed to be there this morning.

"Mom? Dad? What are you two doing here?" she said, coming to sit at the counter.

"We wanted to spend some time together, and we needed to talk to you; well, Mom needed to talk to you," her father said, turning his attention back to the eggs.

"Eri," her mother began. "I love you, and when you asked to call me Mom, it was the best day of my life. But I want to make that official." Eri stopped mid-drink of her apple juice. "I want to legally adopt you as my daughter if you are amenable."

"Really?" Eri said, tears welling up. "You are serious? You will be my mom?" Momo nodded; Eri bolted over the counter into the heroine's arms and started crying as she repeated the word yes. Momo cried as she held on to her daughter; once she calmed down, Momo turned and saw Izuku on one knee.

"Momo Yaoyorozu," he said. "We have been around each other for our highest of highs and the lowest of lows. When I thought I couldn't go on, you lifted me; when our beautiful Unicorn needed a woman's hand to help guide her, you did so. Without even realizing it, you became one of the highlights of my day. I lost you once and don't want ever to lose you again. Will you marry me?" he reached into his pocket, and her hands flew to her mouth. It was Inko's ring, the one All-Might had given her.

She heard Eri whisper that it was Grandma's ring. Momo looked at him, her arms around Eri, tears rolling gently down her cheeks. She couldn't find her voice. She could only nod and hold her hand out. She noticed that his hands were shaking as he put the ring on. It fit spectacularly. "Did you somehow get it sized?" she managed.

He shook his head, stood up, and they kissed. Eri gave them a second before she wrapped them both in a hug. Sitting there and eating breakfast with them was one of the happiest moments of her life. She was sad to have to go to school; once Christy arrived, Eri kissed both their cheeks before heading out the door.

Momo took Izuku's hand and led him to bed; unlike earlier, it wasn't frenetic but slow and tender. They weren't worried about the time or anything else, just each other. When they finally reached the climax, they fell into each other's arms and drifted to sleep. For the whole day until Eri got home, they would wake up and make love before falling asleep. They ate their lunch in bed and let the day drift by as they soaked each other in. The evening was family; Momo helped Eri with her school work, and they prepared dinner as a family and sat snuggled up on the couch watching movies. Eri fell asleep on Momo, much to her delight. They stayed like that until Momo carried Eri to bed, tucking her in and kissing her forehead.

Izuku watched everything from the doorway, warmth washing over him as he saw the scene play out; how happy Eri was that day made it even better. There would be a media storm once the news broke, but they were insulated from all that for now.

"I will meet with your father, probably the day after tomorrow," Izuku said as they got ready for bed, "When can we have dinner with them?"

"According to the calendar, I believe this weekend on Saturday," Momo said. "I was thinking we could have dinner; I am sure my Mother and Father will want to spend some time with Eri, and we can talk with Kyoka that evening. I can start getting things moved anytime; we need to sit down and discuss what is coming and what is going." She smiled as she noticed he had stopped changing as she stood naked. She gave him a wink and slid into bed. "Izuku, I am feeling a bit cold. Won't you come to warm me up?"

She smiled and did not laugh as he dived into bed like the floor was on fire. She turned to face him as their legs intertwined; she heard his whispered declaration of love as he began to kiss her neck. He didn't rush and took his time before they made love. That was exactly it; they made love, and Momo was in heaven.

-Kyoka-

When Momo came home, Kyoka immediately noticed the rock on her finger. "Um, can we talk?' she said. Momo nodded and came and sat down across from Kyoka. "I see something happened today," she said as she pointed to Momo's hand. "Before we talk about that, can we talk about last night?"

"Which part?" Momo said.

"The part when you kissed me," she said quietly. "Or maybe the part when you…"

"We can start with you watching us have sex if you like?" Momo said, and Kyoka looked down, unable to answer; Momo sighed. "Yes, I knew you were watching, and I found it exciting. I kissed you because, well, I don't know."

"I..don't have the answer; after the night with the wine, I…heard you and imagined the same thing. Then I heard you outside my door the other night, and when I heard someone else in the house, I knew who it was and when...I just…I didn't even consciously think about what I was doing till I was doing it." she said, wringing her hands. "Momo, I'll leave; I'll do whatever you want, but…"

"What do you want, Kyoka?" Momo said. "If you are going to ask me to choose between you and him, as you can see by the ring, I choose him."

"I love you," she whispered. "I love him. I should have never pushed him away, and after I did, I shouldn't have asked you to step back. I should have come with you after New York. I love you both; you are the loves of my life, and I don't know what to do." She looked Momo in the eyes, "I want to be with you both; I want to be in that bedroom, tangled in both your arms, wake up to you both. I want to feel your kiss and know his kiss."

"I would like that too, Kyoka," Momo said. "I was hurt after New York. I was angry, and I was so sad that you rejected me. I forgave you, so I brought you home and have you in my home. But I won't sacrifice what I have with Izuku for that. I am adopting Eri officially as soon as we get the paperwork done. He asked me to marry him, and I said yes. He asked me to move in with him, and I said yes."

"What about me?" she said. "You want to be with me, but what about him?"

"We will talk with you on Saturday after dinner with my parents. If you want to be with him, I suggest you tell him and show him something. If he is amenable, then I will welcome you into our bed. But if not, it will be your decision on how to handle things from there." Momo walked over and took Kyoka's hands. "You could have had him, and you could have had me, but you made the wrong decision. Or maybe you made the right one because there is a chance for you to have us both. I chased you once; I won't do it again."

"I understand," she said.

"Do you?" Momo said as she tiled Kyoka's chin up and kissed her. Momo's kiss was full of passion and heat; their lips parted, their tongues gently intertwined, and Kyoka began to melt, but Momo pulled away. "I love you, Kyoka Jiro. I loved you for a lifetime, but I will not sacrifice what I have dreamed of or the man that has become that dream for you. Not again." Momo got to her feet and walked down the hall. "Goodnight, Kyoka."

Kyoka sat there and said nothing; she touched her lips as the taste of Momo lingered there. Momo was willing to take her into their relationship but needed to talk to Izuku. To tell him how she had felt all these years.

-Izuku-

"Well, Sir," he slurred. "I just want you to know that I love your daughter so much and will do everything I can to make her happy." He tilted back the empty glass of scotch, wondering how it was empty. Closing one eye, he peered into the empty cup, wondering if the magical liquor would somehow reappear.

"That is what I like about you, son," Takashi said as he poured himself another round and one for his future son-in-law. "You came to me and asked for financial advice, and you followed it perfectly," he looks at his glass critically. "Now, I would have preferred you ask for my blessing before you asked her to marry you and before the press caught your little dance."

"I know, sir, but it all just happened." He raised his glass, "KANPAI!"

"KANPAI!"

They both finished their glasses. "But it all just happened so fast, and then she told me to ask her," he slurred. "What was I supposed to do? You know how she gets, sir."

"I do, I do. Hey, pour your future father-in-law another one," Izuku smiled and did as requested. "And this adoption thing, I like it; Eri is amazing." Drinking/spilling his drink. "Plans for anymore?"

"3-6, sir," Izuku said, emptying his glass again. "We want a large family."

"That's astounding," he said. "Make it four girls and two boys."

"Yes, sir!" Izuku responded. "I think we should probably stop," he said, looking at the bottle.

"But we should toast to my future grandchildren," Takashi said. "For their health."

"You, sir, Dad, you are the smartest man I know," Izuku said as more liquor flowed.

They toasted the future children, the wedding, business dealings, Eri's future spouse and ten children, Momo, Yana (Momo's Mother), Inko and Toshi, and the future children again. Takashi was trying to outdrink Izuku, but he failed. It took seven assistants to get them loaded into the cars to bring them home.

Kyoka and Eri were sitting in the living room when the door crashed open, causing them both to jump. "ERRRIIIIII, I'M HOME!" he bellowed.

Eri, sighed and muttered "Oh, no."

"What's wrong?"

"He is drunk, like really drunk." She said.

"ERI! OH NO, SOMEONE HAS TAKEN MY PRECIOUS UNICORN; WHERE IS MY RADIO?" they heard him yell, then stumble.

"Dad," Eri said, getting up, "I am right here with Aunt Kyoka."

"OH, THAT'S GOOD! WHY AM I YELLING?" he said, staring at his daughter.

"Good question, Deku," Kyoka said, entering the foyer.

"OH, SHIT IT IS KYOKA," he slurred and stumbled before them. "HEY ERI, KYOKA IS HERE!"

"Yes, I know, Dad," Eri said as the girls caught him to keep him from falling. "No more yelling or I will put you in the box!"

"NOT THE…box," he said finally, not yelling. "How long have you been here, Kyo... ka?"

"I walked Eri home today," Kyoka said, wrinkling her nose at the smell of booze. "Why are you drunk?"

"Yeah, I thought you met with Mom's dad; that would be Grandpa," Eri said, her finger by her mouth as they talked it out.

"I did," Izuku said, moving to the couch. "We talked, and he said I could marry Momo, so we're all good," he managed as he fell onto the sofa, giggling. Eri rolled her eyes and went towards the kitchen. "Then we had a good talk, and um….we had to toast to um…stuff like future kids. HEY, KYOKA," she winced at the sudden increase in volume. "Did you know Eri is going to have ten kids?"

"WHAT?" Eri said, walking back in with several bottles of water and aspirin. "Who said?"

"I don't remember," Izuku said. "But yeah, like ten kids. And then… we um…well, he passed out. And I got a ride home."

Eri rolled her eyes, "Dad, you need to drink some water."

"But I don't want to," he pouted like a child. "You drink the water, and I will have a beer."

"If you drink two glasses of water, you can have a beer," Eri said.

"DEAL!" he said, holding his hand for the water.

Kyoka laughed at the exchange. "Has this happened before?"

"A few times, one time was before Grandpa asked Grandma to marry him, one time was after THAT fight," Eri said, looking at her dad finish his water. "Grandpa went into the room, and they talked, then he came out like this. Grandma wasn't even mad. A few other times that I can think of, after your wedding, when Uraraka left, him and Uncle Bakugo when he got married, and when Aunty was announced she was pregnant." Eri said, handing her father the other water bottle before returning to the kitchen with his beer.

"Wait, you are giving him a beer?" Kyoka said.

"He doesn't like it when you don't follow through," Eri said. "Next, he will have some more water and probably need to go to the bathroom, then maybe he will go to bed. I am not sure." She looked at her phone.

"You have school," Kyoka said. "Let me handle this."

"Are you sure, Aunty Ko?" Eri said. "It would be a big help."

"Yeah, I can do this." Kyoka said smiling, "Trust me, I have had to wrangle two different bands while drunk on a pub crawl in England; one drunk friend should be easy."

"Ok, just remember if you make him a deal, you must follow through, or he gets upset," Eri said.

Kyoka flashed her a thumbs-up.

"Dad, I have to go to school in the morning. Aunty Ko is going to take care of you, OK?" Eri said. Her father smiled and rather skillfully pulled his daughter gently to his lap and kissed her head.

"Ok, baby," he whispered. "Remember, I love you; you are more important than anything."

"I know daddy," she said. "I love you too." She got up and went upstairs.

"Ok, I need to go to the bathroom," he said, stumbling. Kyoka slipped his arm over her shoulder. "Hey Kyoka, when did you get here?"

"Just now," she said, smiling. "I heard you were drunk and had to come to see for myself."

"Well, I am drunk," he said, smiling. "It's good to see you, I missed you." He added, starting to walk to the bathroom with her assistance.

"Did you?" she asked.

"I did," he said. "You know I missed you almost every day."

"Every day?"

"Yeah, it was nuts. I would send you messages or even some letters, but they returned to the sender."

"I never received any letters," she said.

"Yeah, for a few years, I would write you like real letters," he laughed, using his hand to brace against the wall. "I guess it was stupid."

"What were they about?"

"Life, things, I wanted to just hear from you." He said as he came to the bathroom. He opened the door and stumbled in. She waited outside until he opened the door, tossing the hand towel on the counter. "I missed you. God, how I missed you."

"Why did you miss me so much?" she asked quietly.

"Because I loved you, I loved you since that night." He said, heading back to the living room. "I used to dream about you taking my hand or calling me and asking me to…"

"To come take me away?"

"Yeah," he muttered. "It was bad. You were married, and I was with Ochaco, but if anyone could have pulled me aside, it was you. Then Ochaco left, she just left." He wiped a tear. "I was happy while she and I were together; it felt like I could finally move on from you, and then she just left. Went to the stars."

"Izuku, would you have come if I called?" she whispered.

"In a heartbeat!" he said with a smile.

"And at the wedding, if you had to fight all our friends to take me away, would you have." She said, looking into his soft green eyes.

"I would have fought every single one of them and the pros," he said. "I would have fought Shigaraki again for you." She leaned up and kissed him lightly on the lips.

"Thank you for that," she said. "Now let me get you into bed."

"Ok…hey Kyoka?" he said. "You're not really here, are you? I am dreaming again, aren't I?"

"Why do you say that?" she said, tilting her head slightly.

"Because you only kiss me in my dreams," he responded.

"Nope," she said. "All in your head."

"Oh," he said, sounding sad. "Hey, Kyoka?"

"Yes Izuku?"

"I hope I see you again," he whispered. "Even if it is a dream, it is nice to see you." Kyoka helped him to bed, "Hey, stay with me till…I guess wake up or whatever."

"Ok," she whispered. She turned her back as he started throwing off his clothes till he was just in his underwear and fell onto the bed. She lay beside him, his arms wrapped around her, and he pulled her up against him, cuddling her close.

"Wow, you even smell like you," he muttered. "Great dream."

"It is a nice dream," she whispered. She lay in his arms, thinking of the shared night, the news articles she had read about him, or the times they had spent together at school. She listened to his breathing as he drifted off to sleep. He held his arm around her waist as the tears gently fell.

Even if it doesn't seem quite right,
You meant for me much more,
Than anyone, I've met before.
