The Symbol of Peace watched as the crystal villain he'd captured sat in an interrogation room, he'd been in there for almost ten hours now and hadn't said a single word to anyone.

The girl his protege had saved, was currently asleep in his lap, holding onto his shirt for dear life. Next to him was Himiko Toga, her head leaning against the boy's shoulder and an arm stroking the little girl's hair.

If he was being honest, All Might thought the pair was moving a bit too quickly to be admitting love to one another. But on the other hand, it had been damn near four months since young Midorya had told him he was dating the girl. All Might didn't know much about relationships between kids, he had been focused entirely on training and only developed that kind of relationship outside of after graduating U.A.

While their relationship had done wonders for the boy's confidence, he couldn't help but notice the long line of hickeys the boy often had. And then there were the bite marks, some of which had scarred the boy. The worst had to be a bite on the side of the boy's neck near the start of his shoulder. All Might had seen that mark given enough time to heal, only for it to seemingly reopen after only a week or two.

He'd asked young Midoriya about it but of course, the boy gave him such a selfless answer he'd nearly been taken aback.

"It's to help Himiko, All Might," the intense stare he'd given the pro hero had rivaled that of his looks when intensely focusing on his training," her quirk gives her an unhealthy obsession with blood, and I promised her if it would help her live more normally she could take mine anytime she wanted."

"Do you think that's wise young man," All Might had asked understanding the boy's reasoning, but not willing to leave any questions unasked," what will you do if you are both separated? Or if you ever break up with her? Will you continue to be her own personal blood bank?"

The boy had looked down to his feet not wanting to imagine young Toga and himself separating for good," e-even then I still would. I care about her too much to just abandon her like that."

All Might had nodded satisfied with the answer for the time being," I understand. But try and set some boundaries for her, if she keeps biting the same spot over and over not only will it scar but she may eventually take the chunk with her."

As he recalled the memory while looking at the pair, a soft smile came over his face despite the morbid bite mark that had returned to his student's neck.

What made All Might almost spit out the coffee he'd been drinking was the matching bite mark young Toga had on her shoulder. It looked very fresh too.

Now that he thought about it the pair had been out very late when he'd found them.

'Am I gonna have to give you a safe sex talk?' He thought rubbing his face very tiredly.

The police officers had asked them a lot of questions and when he said a lot, Izuku meant a lot. What they'd been doing out so late. Why they had engaged the villain and not simply run? If the villain had mentioned why he was chasing the girl.

Izuku had grown pretty annoyed at the constant bombardment of the same questions they'd asked a dozen times just worded differently.

"I'm tiiiiiired Izu," Himiko whined snuggling her head closer to his and wrapping her arm around the little girl.

"I know, mom is trying to convince them to let us leave," Izuku sighed tracing circles in Eri's back.

"I know it's a bit taxing," All Might said approaching the pair," but bare with the police. Their procedures are an important part of hero work to become accustomed to. But don't worry we'll get the two of you out of here soon!"

"W-Wait! What about Eri," Izuku asked his arms protectively circling the girl.

All Might scratched the side of his head with a finger, his smile strained," well she'll be taken to a foster home either until her closest living relatives are found, or until they find a family to adopt her permanently.

"T-Then let me and my mom be her foster family!" Izuku said his eyes never wavering from All Might.

"Young Midoriya! While I admire your conviction in wanting to protect this girl, you are not in any position to offer that." All Might said, sternly scalding Izuku.

"It's okay All Might," Izuku's mother had finally emerged from the detective's office, a small smile on her face," I already guessed what Izuku would say and asked the same thing he did. Do you think you can carry her Izuku?"

"Y-Yes!" Izuku nodded excitedly carrying the girl in a princess carry that made Himiko puff her cheeks out.

"Not fair," she huffed poking Izuku's cheek," you haven't carried me like that."

"I-It's not like I w-wouldn't if you asked," he said averting his gaze, a blush coming to his cheeks at his mom's smile," a-anyway let's go I think Eri's had a long day as it is."

Himiko rolled her eyes at him seeming fidgety and very happy to leave the police station," is it alright if I stay with you guys tonight Ms. Midoriya?"

"Please honey just call me Inko," his mom smiled, her evil grin turning to Izuku," of course you can stay, but Izuku will be sleeping on the couch."

"O-Okay," Izuku sighed dejectedly before seeing Himiko wink at him out of the corner of his eye.

The car ride home was very tense, All Might had decided to stay back with the police to further question the bald man. So it was currently just Izuku, Himiko, Eri, and his mom in the car.

Himiko had decided to sit in the backseat with Izuku and Eri, rather than sitting in the passenger seat. The smirk his mother kept shooting at him from the rearview mirror made him very uncomfortable.

Thankfully the ride hadn't been long and they made it to the apartment without any snide remarks from his mom.

"Izuku honey, let me take Eri and I'll give her a bath," his mom offered to hold her, hands out to take the girl from him.

As he was obliging his mother's request Eri's hands wrapped around his shirt digging in like a tic," no! I don't want Izu to go anywhere," the girl whined apparently not asleep anymore.

"Aww, she's using Toga-chan's nickname for you," his mom fawned over the girl's big red eyes that peeked out from her long hair.

"Not fair," Himiko whined sounding amazingly close to Eri's whine," I wanna take a bath with Izu!"

"N-N-No one is t-taking a b-bath with me," Izuku said extremely red-faced at the idea.

"Oh, but Izuku we used to take baths together all the time," his mom chirped happily resting her hand on her cheek.

"T-That was when I was a little kid," Izuku protested very loudly," fine, I'll bath Eri, but you guys better drop this. Although, I might need your help mom. So H-Himiko-chan you can wait in my room if you want.

"Nah, I'll go with you guys to give Eri a bath!"

Izuku assumed he'd need to get wet even if he wasn't taking the bath, so he left Eri with Himiko for a moment. She seemed to be relaxed around his girlfriend so he trusted her with the girl while he went to put on some old swim trunks.

"Alright, you ready for a bath Eri," Izuku asked the little girl as he drew some bath water and added bubbles to the warm water.

"I-I guess," she mumbled.

Izuku set to work unwrapping the bandages around her arms and legs pausing in horror at the awful number of needle marks and scars she had.

The little girl noticed his staring and she tried to cover up her marks in embarrassment.

"Hey it's alright," Izuku looked at Himiko and his mom for a moment before blushing furiously and leaning down to the little girl," h-here look."

Izuku pulled back the neck of his shirt showing the little girl the fresh bite mark on his shoulder and then a few on his arms which had begun to heal. Eri's wide red eyes studied the marks. Her fingers twitched toward the one on his neck gingerly.

"D-Does it hurt," she asked quietly.

Izuku looked up at Himiko blushing," n-no, it actually felt kind of good."

The little girl looked at him confused, but before she could say more Izuku had his mom take the rest of the girl's clothes off while he turned his back.

Once his mom had fully set the girl into the tub Izuku slowly lowered himself behind the girl and began rubbing shampoo into her hair.

"That looks fun I wanna get in," Himiko chirped dipping one leg into the water before Izuku stopped her.

"Hey! You've only got one set of clothes here and you're currently wearing them! So no getting in the tub," Izuku chastised her as if she was Eri's age.

"Awww, but I can just wear one of your shirts and some boxers!"

"M-Mom tell her no."

"I don't see any harm in it, honey," his mom said, clearly enjoying messing with him alongside his girlfriend.

"Fine," he sighed defeated.

The pair washed Eri in relative silence, aside from the occasional giggle Himiko had when playing with Eri while Izuku did all the work. Thankfully, it was time to get out and Izuku made his way to his bedroom to get a fresh set of clothes for himself.

He lightly pushed the door, not quite closing it all the way out of habit. He began removing his swim trunks and wet T-shirt leaving him in nothing at all. Of course Himiko chose that exact time to walk in without warning.

"Izu, get me some clothes t-" the frozen expression on her face was very uncharacteristic, and so was the intense blush that ran up her neck and face," s-sorry!" She yelled slamming the door shut behind her.

"Huh, so she can make that face too," Izuku remarked out loud before realizing what had just happened, letting out a very girlish scream.

Izuku got dressed in record time, he was a blur of motion and had anyone seen him they'd think he had a speed quirk.

"Y-You can come back in, H-Himiko," Izuku squeaked very red in the face with an old All Might hoodie in his hands along with a pair of blue boxers.

Her soft timid footsteps made Izuku tense, and the slow opening creak of his door didn't help. Nor did the very large blush on her face. As she entered he couldn't help but notice she didn't make eye contact with him like she often did.

"I-I'm not s-still n-naked you k-know," Izuku stuttered very mortified at the moment.

Himiko's head snapped up very embarrassed by his words but then a familiar toothy grin spread across her face," sorry I walked in without warning, but it's not like we haven't done worse."

"Y-You still haven't seen me fully naked before though!" Izuku yelled as quietly as possible

"Well, that's not exactly true now. Is it?" She said acting very nonchalant.

"H-Hush you," he said passing the girl his spare clothes.

A little blush spread across the girl's face along with a mischievous smile," want me to return the favor Izu?"

"W-What? Y-You pervert there's a little girl, not even a room over from us," Izuku furiously whispered.

"Oddly enough that didn't sound like a no," she said slipping her now wet sweater off, along with her skirt. The way that she began slowly unbuttoning her wet shirt made his blood boil with longing.

"I-I'll get Eri, so you can get dressed," Izuku panicked turning from the girl before he got carried away again like he had in the movie theatre.

As he turned, a soft hand gripped his, their fingers slowly twining around one another. Himiko pressed her bare chest against his back. Her soft chest easily felt through his shirt.

"I really am sorry Izu," she whispered.

"I-It's alright I should've shut the door properly," Izuku sighed shutting his eyes tightly and turning around to hug the girl," s-so please put some clothes on, or it'll get out of hand l-like at the movie theatre."

"Oooh, alright," Himiko huffed letting Izuku go from the hug and slipping the shirt and boxers on while his eyes were still closed," you can open your eyes, spoilsport."

Thankfully the girl was wearing clothes and oddly enough she looked very pretty dressed in his oversized hoodie.

Izuku patted the top of her head affectionately," you're really pretty Himi-chan!"

"D-Dummy," she huffed giving his arm on her head a light bite.

"I think Eri's ready for bed you two," said Izuku's mom as she entered the room seeing the teens engaging in light PDA," so, who is she sleeping with?"

Izuku and Himiko just shrugged at one another both crouching down to her level. Now that they could both get a look at her Izuku had to admit she was a cute little girl, her previously ghoulish skin was now a clean white, and the dirty tangle of hair on her head had been brushed as smooth as it would get, her tear-streaked eyes were now clear and heavy with drowsiness

"Who do you wanna go to bed with Eri-chan," Izuku asked with a light smile.

"I duh know? Both?" She asked looking up at the pair with big sleepy eyes.

"I uh, I don't think mom will let us. Sorry, Eri-chan," Izuku apologized looking to his mom for confirmation he was correct, but surprisingly she didn't refuse Eri's request.

"Oh, alright. I would've had a problem if you two tried to have her sleep with me, because I know you'd try to sneak in bed with each other," Izuku blushed at the fact they would've been caught by his mom if they'd tried that," but since Eri will be with you I'm fine with it. I trust you're both bashful enough to not try anything in front of this sweet little angel. Right?"

"Y-Yeah," Izuku hesitated for a moment looking at Himiko.

'I know I can trust myself in this situation. But it's my constantly frisky girlfriend that's another matter.'

"Oh please," she crowed indignantly look at the mother and son," I can keep it in my pants for one night!"

Both Izuku and his mother blushed at her choice of words.

"O-Okay well I guess we're heading to bed then," Izuku said awkwardly rubbing the back of his head.

"Alright you two, but if you have any problems come straight over to me for help."

"Thanks, mom."

"Thanks!"

They both answered as his mother left the room so that they could get settled into bed. It was a good thing his mom had insisted on him having a queen size bed when picking mattresses a while back, or they'd have no room at all to sleep.

Izuku had no idea what to do, so he just went with the safest option and lay down closest to the wall, putting Eri in the middle, and giving Himiko the spot that would let her get in and out of bed as she pleased.

Of course, as soon as he settled in and got comfortable with his head laying on his pillow, Eri decided she'd rather lay on top of him snuggling her head under his chin.

And Himiko never missing an opportunity, got as close as she could to him as well, draping an arm over them both, and placing her head on Izuku's shoulder.

"It's like we're a mommy and daddy," she whispered into Izuku's ear.

"W-W-What! I-I mean I get the comparison, b-but that came out of nowhere," Izuku said, very stunned.

"Calm down you scaredy cat! Girls think about that stuff all the time when they've got a boyfriend, at least that's what I've heard. And it sounds right to me 'cause I've thought about it with you," she grinned blushing madly.

"Y-You have? So did you think about that j-just with me when we started dating, or have you always w-wanted kids?"

"I only ever want baby's with you Izu. I've thought about having some before we started dating, but I could only ever imagine you being my baby's papa."

Izuku chuckled not the least bit surprised with the girl, she was odd and he could see her giggling to herself at the thought. But it came as a surprise she hadn't imagined herself with anyone but him. It really made him feel like he'd impacted someone's life enough that she'd loved him from when they were just children.

Don't get him wrong though he wasn't ready for real kids of his own anytime soon," you know I've never thought about what my future will have," Izuku admitted.

"I mean, I've put so much time and effort into just becoming a hero that I have no idea what my goal is after I've reached my dream."

"Well, I know exactly what I wanna do! I wanna live in a big house with Izu, so there's lots of room for our babies to run around and play!"

Izuku's soft smile at his girlfriend's simple future was colored with warm drowsiness that made him yawn," that's not a bad dream at all," Izuku sighed resting his head back falling asleep in seconds.

A pair of yellow catlike eyes peered at the sleeping boy's form and the little girl snuggled into his chest fast asleep.

Himiko smiled very widely at the sight.

"Izu and I didn't make her, but I think she'll make a cute daughter," her smile widened as she hummed to herself," babies, babies! I wanna make babies with Izu~!"

A few days passed as Izuku and his mother got used to having another person around the house. His mom had been ecstatic because she now had someone to wear all of Izuku's old clothes from kindergarten.

Most of which were All Might themed to Himiko's never-ending teasing.

The biggest change for Izuku that he still had to get used to, was that the girl wanted him to come with her everywhere she went. The living room, the kitchen, his bedroom, and most embarrassingly for him, the bathroom. Thankfully, he had managed to talk her into just letting him sit outside while she did her business, but she wouldn't make the same concession for him. She had tried to accompany him when he went to the bathroom several times before he told the girl she would have to wait with his mom outside the bathroom while he used it himself.

Himiko had taken to the girl very quickly, and they played with each other very often. To his utter embarrassment, they both enjoyed playing "Izu the Hero" as Eri called it. They would reenact the fight that Izuku had with the bald villain, surprisingly Izuku would play All Might when joining the pair, Himiko would play the bad guy, and Eri was Izuku.

Both Izuku and Himiko collapsed after their most recent game with the little girl, she was still running around the pair giggling.

"Harder than it looks isn't it," Izuku's mother gloated from her position in the kitchen, watching the spectacle in front of her.

"Rethinking *wheeze* wanting kids now? Himiko-chan," Izuku was panting very heavily, he hadn't felt this tired since All Might's training.

"N-No way! I want a-at least two," she said very seriously through her own gasps for breath.

"You'll kill us both!" Izuku yelled, very frightened.

"Hey, you don't gotta complain! Just don't get me pregnant anytime soon if you don't wanna deal with another kid," Himiko said getting her breath back.

"H-Himiko-chan!"

"Izu? What does pregnant mean," Eri asked with the widest and most innocent eyes he'd ever seen.

"Look what you did," Izuku panicked looking at Himiko," I-It's nothing Eri! Don't worry about it!"

"I-Izuku!" His mother yelled from the living room hallway startling him.

"N-Nothing mom we weren't talking about anything!"

"Huh, never mind that sweetie, your letter from U.A. finally arrived," she yelled showing him the sealed envelope.

Izuku froze, with everything that had been going on he'd honestly forgotten the U.A. entrance exam had taken place not even two weeks ago now. Izuku accepted the sealed letter from his mom, the contents of the envelope rattling audibly with his shaking.

"Let's go Izu! I wanna see how you did," Himiko grabbed his hand pulling him toward his bedroom, Eri padding behind them.

All three of them stood at Izuku's desk just staring at the letter.

"Uh, Izu? You're supposed to open the thing to see your test results ya know," Himiko teased poking at his freckles cheeks like she often did.

"I know," Izuku sighed picking the letter up, he carefully broke the seal so that the small metal disk could fall out onto his desk," what the heck is th-"

"I am here! As a projection," yelled the booming voice of All Might from the small device scaring the three in Izuku's room," uh, sorry that probably startled you! I must apologize young man I didn't just come to this town so I could fight villains in this area. We've been keeping this a bit of a secret, but the cats gonna be out of the bag with these letters. I'm joining the staff of U.A. as a teacher starting this year! It's really quite exciting, I'm very much looking forward to the- wait what? Hurry it up? I've gotta do how many of these things?! W-Well I suppose I should congratulate you first on your stellar performance in the written exam! You passed With flying colors, and you didn't do too badly at all compared to your peers. In regards to the practical exam, you managed to gain a total of eleven villain points, but I'm sorry to say that simply isn't enough to pass."

Izuku looked down at his lap, he had a feeling eleven points wouldn't be enough, but he'd been stupid and taken the time to destroy that stupid zero pointer instead of just saving the girl and running.

Himiko's soft hands rubbed each of his shoulders, she lent down to talk into his ear," it's alright Izu. Screw U.A. there are tons more hero schools that can see how amazing you are."

"However," All Might's large grin had eclipsed all of his previous smiles interrupting Izuku and Himiko," there were secret parameters to this test, on the surface most people know about the practical exam's villain point system. But, the hidden points system that nobody knows about is this. Rescue points! How could a prestigious school like U.A. simply turn away someone so courageous they would jump into danger without a moment's hesitation?"

As All Might asked that the image of Izuku kicking the head off the robot attacking Shinso and then helping the boy up came onto the screen. The following image was of every single applicant in the area running from the zero pointer, except Izuku who had actually leaped at the hulking machine.

"These are qualities that the judges may grade upon freely, each judge is different and they don't always award points, but they were unanimous when it came to you young man. So it is with utmost pride that I say you received sixty-six rescue points, for a total of seventy-seven points overall! Congratulations kid! You passed, so allow me to formally welcome you, to your hero academia!"

The projector went black and for a moment there was silence, but then Himiko jumped at the boy screaming very loudly.

"You did it Izu! You did it!" Himiko jumped up and down while Eri looked on in confusion.

"What was the buff smiling guy talking about," she asked not understanding what was going on.

Izuku smiled down at her picking her up and spinning with her," I got into a hero school! I can be a hero like All Might, the guy that knocked out the bald guy when we saved you!"

This got through to the girl as she squealed excitedly along with Himiko.

"I-Izuku," His mom came in eyes worried," d-did you make it?"

"He sure did," Himiko yelled giving Izuku's mom a huge hug.

His mom's large eyes began fountaining tears of happiness," I-Izuku!"

The entirety of the apartment that night devolved into excited shouts and happy crying.
