The Epilogue
Hey I'm back. I know it's been forever, but here I am. I was trying to think about how I want to end this, how to make the epilogue. Here it is. The last chapter of The Fire That Made Me.
This is 5 years after they graduate.
Izuku POV:
I wake up very tired after yesterday's mission. I feel a weight on me and see my beautiful wife. She still looks amazing even when she's tired.
'I should get the coffee ready. She's worse than Kacchan when she doesn't get her coffee.' I shiver thinking about what happened last time she didn't get her coffee.
I manage to break her grip on me so I can get to the kitchen. I look at the wall and reminisce about the past. The first picture on the wall is a picture of me winning the Sports Festival. The prize I got from that will always be something I treasure. And the medal was nice too, I guess. The second picture is our graduation photo. And the last one is our wedding. That was easily the best day of my life.
I finally get to the kitchen after my nostalgia trip and prepare the coffee.
I go to the couch and turned on the TV to see the news. I wanna know what's new in the world of heroes.
"And, as of yesterday, another League of Villains sub group was defeated and arrested by number one hero Deku and number two hero Ground Zero. Thanks to these two, the League of Villains is closer to never causing trouble in Japan again." The news anchor says.
I hear the door from our room open and Ochako comes in wearing one of my All Might shirts. 'She looks so cute in my shirts.'
She doesn't say good morning and heads straight for the coffee. It's like she's under the coffee's control and doesn't gain consciousness until she drinks it.
She makes her way over to me and sets the coffee on the table. "Morning, handsome." She says joyfully. "Morning, beautiful." I make room for her to sit down. She lays down with her head resting on my shoulder. We stay cuddled like this for a while until she needs to get ready for work. Kacchan and I got the day off so we could recuperate from our fight yesterday.
I start my daily workout routine that would've made the younger me want to die. I get bored and decide to visit some of my friends to see how they're doing. I go to Ejiro and Mina's place first. They live pretty close, so it won't take longer than 5 minutes.
I knock on their door and Kirishima opened the door. He decided to sport a goatee after high school. He even changed the design of his mask so he can make room for his facial hair. "Yo Midoribro. What's up?"
"I just came to see how you were doing. It's been a while since Ochako and I visited."
"Izuku. It's been a week since you visited." He says deadpanned.
"Okay. I was bored and needed to get out of the house since I had the day off." I say blatantly.
"All you needed to do was say so. Come in. Hey, Mina! Izuku's here!" Eijiro says to his wife.
"Great! I'll be there in a little bit after I change Otoko." Mina shouts from their baby's room.
I walk inside and take a seat on their couch. Eijiro brings him some tea, which I gladly accept. "So how's Okoto doing?"
Eijiro gives a huge smile. "He's great! The other day he was able to copy my manly poses! He's going to be an even more manly hero than I am!" He says like his kid won a Nobel. "That's good to hear." Just then Mina comes in. Her hair grew longer since graduation, so it's down to her shoulders. "Hey, Izuku. Congratulations on your big win yesterday. If you get a day off from defeating a sub group from the League of Villains, imagine what you'll get from taking the whole thing down!"
"Yeah, imagine. Maybe I'll get a whole vacation." I say rubbing the back of my neck. "Eijiro told me about Okoto copying his posing." She sighs at the comment. "He won't let that go. I told him that's just what babies do, but he said, 'No! This will be the manliest hero in the history of heroism!" She says doing a pretty funny impression of her husband.
"But he will!" I chuckle at their little banter. "Sorry. It's just that baby of yours is making you two to have a pretty silly banter. I wish I could have that."
"Have you and Ochako not talked about kids?" Mina asked. "We have. It's just that we're waiting to get more money so we can actually afford one. That and Ochako wants to help her parents with their money problems. And when we do get enough money, we're going to move into an actual house and out of our apartment. But that's also going to cost a bit, so we'll have to wait for a few more paychecks before-"
"Okay, bro. You need to chill with doing that." Eijiro cuts me off from my mutter storm. "Sorry. I'm working on that." I nervously rubbed the back of my head.
"That's understandable, but you should also give it a chance. You might be able to make all of those things work. Hell, you may get a raise for beating that League of Villains group. Just think about it, okay?" Mina says. 'Maybe she's right. Maybe we could talk about it again.' "Thanks. I'll think about it. I've gotta go. Got other people to visit."
I say my goodbyes and headed to my next destination. Kacchan and Himiko. I make it to their place after a fifteen minute walk. When I knocked on the door, a pregnant Himiko was the first to answer. "Hey, Izu. Katsuki! Izuku's here!"
"Great, just what I need!" I hear Kacchan say sarcastically. 'Can't he just pretend to be happy without the sarcasm? I already know the answer.' I come inside and go to Kacchan's at-home gym and see him working out. "Hey, Kacchan. How are you?"
"You're bored because you don't have anything to do and Round Face is at work, so you decided to visit. Am I right?" He says while finishing his rep.
"Right on the dollar." I answer in a defeated tone. "Great. You only visit when you're bored. I feel so fucking honored." He says wiping off his sweat.
"Come on, Kacchan. You know me better than that. And besides, I wanted to see how you're doing after our win yesterday." He finally looks me in the eyes. "I'm doing fine. Very sore, but nothing a little working out won't fix."
'That's not how it works.' "Anyway. I wanted to see how Himiko is doing with the pregnancy. Do you know the gender yet?" I asked excitedly.
"Yeah. It's gonna be a boy." He says with a smirk.
"Congratulations." I say with genuine happiness for my....friend?
"Thanks. So when are you and Round Face gonna have one?" Again with this?
"We're waiting to have one. It's just not the right time yet."
I feel a hand on my shoulder. "Listen, Deku. You two have known each other since the first grade, started dating the first year of highschool, and got married before any of us. Trust me, you're ready." He says with an actual smile.
"Thanks Kacchan. I'll talk to her about it after work." I leave and go home. I hope Ochako changes her mind.
Ochako POV:
"So have you told Midoriya yet?" Tsu asks me as we change into our regular clothes.
"Not yet. I just haven't found the right way to tell him. We made a plan of how we would do things, but I guess that's gone out the window." I slightly chuckle.
"Well if you want our opinion, you should just do it tonight. If you keep avoiding it, then he'll think you've gotten fat." Momo says with a giggle at the end.
I give her a death glare. "You think it's funny?"
She gets nervous. "No, but you get what I mean. If you just tell him now, then you don't have to keep worrying. Trust me, you'll be fine." Momo says reassuringly.
She's right. I'll tell him when I get home.
"I've got to go. Shoto and I have dinner plans." Momo says, going home to her husband.
"I've got to go to. My parents are visiting and I promised I'd get home as soon as possible." Tsu says going home.
Timeskip to when she gets home:
I open the door to our apartment and I see Izuku in the kitchen making katsudon. Now's the time.
"Izuku? I need to talk to you about something important."
He looks at me quickly. "So do I. Do you mind if I talk first. I need to ask you something important." I decide to let him ask his question before telling him. We sit down at the kitchen table and talk. "I wanted to know if you changed your mind on wanting a kid. Because I visited the Kirishima's and Bakugou's today to check on them, and they both really seemed happy with having kids. And I wanted that happiness for us too. So would you please take a second thought on wanting a kid?"
I felt tears brim my eyes. I'm so happy he wants a kid. Now I don't have to worry about him getting mad. "Are you okay? I knew I shouldn't have said anything-" I cut him off.
"I'm not crying because I'm sad. I'm crying because I'm happy. I'm happy that you want kids because I have great news. I'm pregnant. I found out last week and have been trying so hard to tell you." He looks at me shocked. Tears start filling his eyes. "I'm going to be a daddy?"
Tears start falling from our eyes. I nod. "And I'm going to be a mommy." We then embrace in a hug letting out all our tears of joy. We release after a few minutes. Izuku crouches down to my stomach. "I promise I'll protect you and mommy forever. You two are my infinity." He then kisses my stomach. He comes back up to me and cups my cheek with his right hand. "We're going to be the best parents." I hold his face with my hands. "Yes. Yes, we are." We go in for a passionate kiss.
Izuku POV
Nine months later a baby girl was brought into this world. My daughter, Izumi Midoriya.
When I was a kid I never imagined any of this could happen. Being the number one hero, having a wife, a daughter. I thought my power would make it impossible. I used to think of it as a curse, but it's actually a blessing. It helped me find the love of my life, get into my dream school, become the number one hero and the Symbol of Peace, and no I have a daughter.
I owe it all to my power.
My fire.
The Fire That Made Me.
