The next day (Friday)

Aizawa's POV

"What do you mean she is going up for adoption? She isn't anywhere near ready yet!" How could they do this to me? Why would they do this to her?

"I'm sorry Mr. Aizawa but we have already put this off longer than we are legally allowed to technically speaking. Eri is now adoptable in our system." The woman on the other end of the phone sounded sincere at least in that. Her voice softened before she continued. "However we do have her listed on our top candidate list, so only those who have gone through the highest security protocols would be able to adopt her and we have obtained permission to allow her to stay with you as a foster parent until her adoption goes through, if someone comes to adopt her at all that is."

My heart was racing as I started to panic, "Why can't I adopt her? I'm married and I'm in a steady relationship and we are heros as well as a teachers at UA!"

"I'm sorry, if you were both either high profile heros or both undercover heros we could approve it but you just pose to high of a risk for the child's safety. I'm sorry but you do not qualify. At least not while she is so young." Her polite response was heartbreaking. It feels like my heart was being ripped from my chest as if the words she spoke were a rusty dagger carving out one of the few things I hold dear. They are going to take my sweet little Eri away from me and there was nothing I could do about it.

The call ended and I went to find him; Yamada Hizashi, my husband, Present Mic.

Deku's POV

I had to hurry I was supposed to meet Kacchan for our movie night, date night in his room. He had stayed behind to set up snacks and drinks as well as the movie, The Rise of All Might. Yeah we have seen it like a million times but we still liked it and that's all that really matters. I came to a sliding stop in front of the teachers lounge when I heard crying making me freeze, my hand hanging in the air as if to knock still.

"Yamada! They put her up for adoption and they won't let us adopt her. They said we are too high risk because you're a high profile hero and I'm undercover hero! They said if we were both one or the other it would have been fine but not one of each!" I have never heard Eraserhead talk so much before in my life and I have never heard him cry. I didn't even know he was trying to adopt.

"Their taking Eri away from us?" I hear Present Mic ask him, for once he was quiet and that told me everything I needed to know. I sent a text to Kacchan telling him something came up and to get dressed in something nice. I would be there in a minute. Once he responded with 'K.' I knocked on the door as if I just got there.

Eraserhead answered the door his dark eye circles even more pronounced than usual but considering I just heard him crying that made sense.

"Eraserhead, Kacchan and I need permission to go home tonight for this weekend. We are finally going to tell our parents about us," I laugh nervously. It wasn't a lie, it's just that Kacchan didn't know it yet.

"Fine, don't start problems." He sighed and he actually gave me a small smile while handing me the required permission slips. "Remember that your class and teachers support you, do you understand?" He held my gaze refusing to release the slips of paper in my hand until I smiled thanking him.

"Thank you, Mr. Aizawa you are the best teacher ever." I meant it too. He released the permission slips and I couldn't help myself, I gave him a big hug. "You have no idea what it means to me." A tear slips free and I hurried to wipe it away getting a pat on the shoulder from him before I run out of the room.

The door hasn't shut yet when I hear Present Mic tell him he really was a good teacher and the people at the adoption center didn't know what they were talking about, high risk or not. Then the door closed sealing off whatever else was said as I ran to the front doors.

I hope Kacchan was serious when he told me last night that he wanted to adopt and have a big family. I also hope that our parents won't freak out too much. I sent a text to my mom telling her to go to the Bakugo's house and that I would meet her there.

"Deku?" I slide to a stop and there is Kacchan standing there in a dark red almost wine colored button down long sleeve shirt with nice black pants on. I look at myself happy that I was wearing a dark green button down and a nice pair of black pants. I stifle a giggle at the fact that we were pretty much matching. Thankfully I wasn't sweaty and still looked nice, well besides my hair that is.

I quickly fill Kacchan in on what I heard and how Eri was the girl I helped rescue and that I just couldn't let her go and I never even realised I was crying until Kacchan wiped my tears away kissing me gently.

"Come on Zuki we need to tell our parents they are going to be grandparents." I can't help the tears sliding down my face as I jumped up giving him a small kiss right there in front of our dorms where the world could see, if they looked but there was no one there to see.

"I love you Kacchan," I whisper and he slings an arm around my shoulders leading us towards the school gates and to the bus stop.

Bakugo's POV

We are doing this, we are actually doing this! My heart was pounding and Deku just looked so cute standing there holding my hand as we rode the bus to the stop near our houses. We stopped at the park and used the bathroom there to clean our faces before we stopped again at the gate to my house.

Our parents were there waiting for us. I had sent a text to my old hag saying Deku and I were coming and that his mom should be on her way already. My heart nearly stopped when she responded that Aunty Inko was already there.

"Are you ready for this?" I ask him, a very small part of me hoping he changed his mind while the rest of me was having trouble containing myself. Finally the world can know that Deku is mine and only mine. The fact that he wants to adopt this girl, Eri, was also perfect, the old hag has been hounding me that she wants grandbabies when I finally grow the fuck up. I think this is a bit sooner than she meant though considering we are still in highschool but oh well. We walk into the house after releasing our hands with smiles on our faces.

"What the hell did you do this time you brat!" The old hag yelled as soon as the door closed behind us. So much for me fucking smiling.

Deku's POV

"What the hell did you do this time you brat!" Aunty Mitsuki yelled, the door was barely even shut.

"Shut up old hag I didn't do anything for fucks sake!" Kacchan answered cursing more under his breath.

"Now, now surely we can give the boys a moment to explain why they wanted to see us so suddenly?" Uncle Masaru tried to calm Aunty.

"Honey is everything okay?" My mom asked nervously making me smile.

"Everything's great Mom, we wanted to go out and celebrate our class scores with you! Kacchan and I tied for first not just in our class but for the whole school! We did still get second in the country though," I pouted but I could see Aunt Mitsuki and Uncle Masaru relax that it was actually good news.

"No where fancy or anything maybe a nearby diner?" I ask looking around at our parents again hopefully. Kacchan and I thought that this was the best way to tell them we could bring them up to speed on what all is going on at school and then during desert we could finally tell them the big news.

"That sounds wonderful! We will pay the bill because let's be honest without you two studying so much there is no way Katsuki would ever have scored that high!" Aunty Mitsuki laughed making Kacchan curse again. I couldn't help chuckling at them. Thankfully before I could blow our cover by doing something stupid like holding his hand my mom pulled me into a big hug and away from Kacchan.

Bakugo's POV

We actually had a really nice dinner and of course Aunty Inko was sobbing when she heard about our quirks.

"So that's how we walked away from that car crash," was all my dad said while the old hag just started at me like I grew a second head.

"You healed All Might?" Was all she could seem to say. I think I broke her mind, which made me smile even bigger. We were sitting at a round table and Deku and I were sitting next to each other and his mom beside him and my dad beside me letting our mom's sit next to each other as well.

"Fuck yeah I did!" I couldn't stop from smirking and Deku was chuckling again. I prefer his giggles but I also like the idea that only I could hear those.

"Then we kind of started training and well our friends started joining us and the school even had to give us a new exam to prove that none of us cheated which only helped our scores go up and now class B has to act as the school custodians until they graduate. They even have to clean all of the dorms!" Deku was speaking so fast that he had to repeat himself twice so they could understand him.

"So they accused several of your classmates of cheating so everyone in your class had to retake the test?" Aunty Inko asked, she looked almost mad. Which is a terrifying look on her, I couldn't suppress the chill running through me. Note to self never make her mad.

"Yeah but we showed all of those extras, class A isn't too be messed with!" I huffed grinning.

We had finally finished our meal and everyone was relaxing now. I look nervously at Deku and he caught my glance. I don't think I could stomach any desert so now or never?

"Well there is something else that happened," He started laughing nervously again getting all of their undivided attention again.

"I knew it! It couldn't just be good news could it?" I hear the hag grumble making me angry.

"Shut up it's still fucking good news you old hag!" I hissed at her trying to not get us kicked out of the diner and ruin our evening. I glared at her and when she just waited I took a deep breath and looked at Deku again. His hand was already on the table and I slowly interned my fingers with his.

I think they stopped breathing, even my mom was frozen in place all of their eyes wide and fixed on us. "I finally asked Kacchan out on a date?" Deku was still smiling and he was trying to laugh but it died in his throat.

"Are you serious?" Aunty Inko asked, I think she was starting to turn red, fuck I didn't expect her to be against this maybe my hag of a mother but not her.

I swiftly pulled Deku out of his seat and shielded him with my body, standing between them. My eyes hard now as I stared her down daring her to try me when she stood up and pulled me into an aggressive hug.

"What the fuck?" I barely even noticed that I said it out loud as she is squeezing the life out of me, making it hard to breathe.

"Mom!" I hear Deku beside me and thankfully he was still holding my hand or else I might have exploded.

"It's about time you two got over yourselves and started dating," my mom laughed evilly from her seat when Aunty Inko finally let me go and I'm gasping for air. I shot her a glare but I see her groan a little. "Damn I really was hoping for some grandbabies one day."

I smile real big ready to blow her mind, "Actually about that." Once Deku and I sat back down now closer than before and holding hands we explain about Eri.

"YES!!!" Deku and I nearly jumped out of our skin when my dad fucking screamed that. "Let's go right now, we can get all the paperwork filled out before the office closes for the day. I can use my connections to keep the adoption closed so no one will know who adopted her and I'm sure we can work something out with your teachers about her staying with you at the dorms. If not then oh well she can just stay with us!" I don't think I have ever heard my dad so excited before in my life and I am afraid. I look at Deku giving him a what the fuck face as the two of them usher us all to the car as my mom hurries and pays for everything. How the fuck was I supposed to know my dad wanted grandbabies this bad?

Deku's POV

"Deku!" Came Eri's little voice screaming as she came running down the hall towards Kacchan and I. I swoop down and hug her for all I'm worth. I check her over to make sure she was okay and thankfully of course she is.

"Hey Eri, so I hear they put up your adoption papers?" I ask her only to see her smile drop.

"They won't let me stay with Uncle Aizawa and Uncle Hizashi they said it's to dangerous," Her voice was so small it seemed to break my heart.

"I have a secret for you. But you have to promise not to tell anybody not even Uncle Aizawa, Uncle Hizashi, or even Uncle All Might." She nodded her head really fast. She was great at keeping secrets she has not failed to keep even one yet.

"I'm here to adopt you, if you want me to that is." I whispered in her ear and she started screaming happily jumping up and down. I shush her and she is almost vibrating with excitement.

"This is Kacchan he will be your Papa and I will be your Daddy, if that's what you want?" Instead of answering she launched herself at Kacchan and he was quick to catch her and hug her.

"Remember this is a secret so you can't tell anybody. You can just call me Deku like you have been and you can him Kacchan if you like?"

"Zuki, the class will get over it. She can call us Daddy and Papa." Kacchan gave me a look that said he wasn't having it. "You can call us Deku and Kacchan when we are in public though okay?" He looked at her smiling. I'm a little startled, I didn't even know he could be this gentle. Maybe it's the Bakugo genes? His dad is super relaxed too maybe it comes with having babies?

"So Eri there is one question you need to answer before we can go home," I smile at her.

"What is it?" her voice was so quiet I almost didn't hear her.

"Do you want your last name to be Midoriya or Bakugo?" Kacchan asked her. I'm pretty sure she was on cloud nine when she answered making us all laugh our parents joining us at this point.

"Midoriya!"
