29

Red POV

It was finally my turn to get on the stage! I hadn't gotten to fight at all because we wanted to be ready for the League but we think they will decide to attack at the very end when we are most likely to be exhausted. Endeavor was already on the stage looking bored. I am so going to enjoy this! I dived from the stadium into the water before and Bakubro helped shoot me out onto the stage. He isn't going to help me fight or anything but I may have asked him to help me make an entrance. 

"A water user, huh. Don't think that is going to help you," Endeavor seemed to glare at me. 

"Nope, but I'll keep that in mind." I gave him a full smile, I plan to enjoy this. 

Midnight comes out on the stage to make the announcements. She had defeated the perv in our class but he actually did pretty well so he hasn't gotten too much grief over it. "So according to the request this is a no holds match. Pro Hero Endeavor is to use all of his ability to try and win!" 

"Try?" He growled narrowing his eyes. He looked back at me. "You have some nerve kid, but you asked for it."

I just kept smiling and once Midnight was done with her announcements and the starting shot was fired I ran. Straight towards the center of the stage and right before I reached the center I jumped. Once I used my max harden I punched the ground creating a nice size crater scattering debris everywhere. Giving me plenty of large chunks of concrete to work with. Endeavor's quirk is fire, just fire. Sure in a building or something it could cause it to collapse but not on a flat concrete stage like this. If I wanted to win I needed this to go perfectly. The now uneven stage is going to help with that. 

I took a chunk that was a little bigger than my fist and hurled it at him. He hadn't even taken a step yet, he is going to regret that. I launched rock after rock and when he looked both bored and busy I pulled out my shirkuns. That got his attention, he didn't even notice all the throws or following blast from me hitting the ground again and again.

I continued to destroy the stage making it harder and harder for him to get around and once I managed to make the circle of concrete just big enough for the two of us to stand on I joined him on what now looked like a pedestal. He had tried to move several times once he figured out what I was doing throughout all of this but it was too late. I had him on the edge and now that I wasn't trying to trap him anymore I was throwing hit after hit at him. I am so much smaller than him it was a lot easier for me to move and get in several good hits.

He tried to burn me the entire time, but I was so hard that I couldn't feel anything. I was just now pulling out the twin batons on my back and, while using my hardening, I knocked away each of his blows. He couldn't get a clean hit on me and I could already see bruises swelling up and darkening his skin when I threw one of my batons in the air and slammed into his gut with my fist before catching my weapon again. The look of complete and utter shock still etched into his face before he slammed into the stadium wall and he fell into the moat and out of bounds. 

The crowd was completely silent all except for class 2A's section. They were cheering and hollering and eventually I threw both my fist into the air and the rest of the crowd came alive. The roars were almost deafening but I didn't care. I just enjoyed my cheers while Midnight announced me the winner. Finally I see someone jump into the water and shoot out onto the stage like I had done. 

I let my arms drop, exhausted and I could now feel the few burns that Endeavor's fire did eventually leave but they were only minor. I had spent months training with Bakubro and Shoto and his fire just couldn't compare to theirs. 

I saw Midnight start to stop him but then she saw my smile and stopped confused. I guess everyone was too busy gawking at Deku and Bakubro to notice that I had started dating Shoto. I think Eraserhead knew but then again he doesn't just sit around gossiping all the time either. 

I watched as Shoto walk towards me, the way he bounced was almost child like but I guess to anyone else it looked like he was ready to murder me. He was so determined. I left the little area I had been fighting in and landed on the flat stage closest to him but I didn't quite make it and started to fall back in the crater I made. Shoto grabbed me by my hero costume and yanked me away from the edge and safely into his arms. I looked up at the taller boy smiling and he gave me exactly what I was wanting. 

He pulled me in and kissed me. It was like the crowd wasn't even there, we were the only two people in the world left and the only thing that mattered anymore were his lips on mine. I was seeing stars. When he finally let me go so we could breathe again I heard him whisper, "You had me so fucking scared." 

"Maybe I should beat your dad up more often?" I laughed not realising that Midnight had walked up on us and caught that with the mic, broadcasting it for everyone to hear. I look around hearing my voice echo around me and see her standing behind me. "You mind we are having a moment?" Her jaw just dropped and even with the crowd going nuts I could only hear Shoto's sweet laughter. I look back at my boyfriend just in time to see him shake his head before he pulled me in tighter and he kissing me again. 

"Yep, I need to beat him up again. I like to hear you laugh." I smiled at him as our fingers intertwined together. We finally leave the stage thanks to Deku's quirk, not that anyone else knew that. All they saw was us jumping into the air and landing back up with our classmates. This time however Shoto kept his arms around me and Bakubro handed me what he is now calling First Aid. It's a little packet of what looked like water for me to drink. I know what it is though. It's his quirk so that he can heal me and I'll be ready for the League when they show up. 

None of us gave any attention to Endeavor who was choking on air when he saw Shoto kiss me, he had just climbed out and he almost fell back in. Or the fact that his face was fire engine red whether it was because his son kissed another guy or the fact that his son chose a boyfriend over his own father in front of the WHOLE WORLD. No one knew and I didn't care.

The rest of the fights were not nearly as interesting or exciting, Deku fought Eraserhead but of course he won, that is until it was Bakubro's turn. He is going to be fighting Deku. I heard as every single person in our class gulped. The cheers of the crowd were forgotten. I looked at Shoto and nodded. The two of us jumped down back onto the stage and got to work. Him creating wall after wall after wall of ice while I smashed it. It actually worked really well, the fallen broken ice raised the water level of the moat and I was able to carve the ice so that it wasn't in the way of the now fixed stage. 

"Uh, boys what are you doing?" Midnight asked while Shoto and I just rolled our eyes, not bothering to stop what we were doing. 

"Leave them, they know what they are doing." Eraserhead announced over the mic. I looked up to see him walking towards Midnight on the stage, with Eri on his shoulders!

"Uncle Aizawa can I walk now?" Eri asked him all cute. I bet they are wearing those little microphones pinned to their shirts or something. The crowd however couldn't get enough of her and her cuteness. Everyone was absolutely in love with her, even if it wasn't for her lecturing Endeavor, repeatedly, their hearts were her the moment she opened her mouth. 

The way she lectured him when he got back to the commentary box from our fight was both ruthless and adorable. Thank God Jiro recorded it, It's now the group chat ringtone. 

Aizawa's POV

Red actually won his fight with Endeavor. To say was shocked would be an understatement, Eri spent the whole match singing his praises too. 

"Uncle Red! He is super strong, Endeavor better be careful because my Uncle Red is going to knock him right out!" Then there was when Red actually knocked him out of bounds and my students and Eri were cheering. Thank God I am not on camera because I would be lying if I said that I didn't jump up and start dancing when I saw him land in the moat. Thankfully Eri was too busy celebrating herself to notice me or I would have had to find a way to explain why I was so happy the current number 1 hero was defeated. 

I picked up my phone and sent a quick message to in the class chat telling them; 

Coffee Addict: Pizza is on me tonight if for no other reason than Red knocked out Endeavor. Vote now for what kind.

I didn't bother to watch them send what kinds they wanted. It would be there later for when I was ready to order it. I watched the rest of the fights and let's be honest even my fight against Midoriya was tame compared to Red fighting Endeavor, well at least to crowds it was. Mineta was the only student to lose to a pro hero and Bakugo is the only one to select another student instead of a pro hero. I just couldn't believe my problem children have grown so much over the course of the year. 

"Next match is Ground Zero vs. Deku!" I sat up straight in my seat. "Oh god," I barely realised I had said anything. If it wasn't for the fact that it broadcasted throughout the stadium I probably wouldn't have noticed at all. "You want to go down and wish them luck before the match?" I asked Eri who was absolutely beaming. 

We made our way to the stage and just as Midnight was questioning Red and Todoroki what they were doing I intervened. "Leave them, they know what they are doing."

"Uncle Aizawa can I walk now?" Eri asked from her perch on my shoulders. Oh right, I nod and help her down. I watch as she runs right up to Red and Todoroki giving them hugs and kisses and the crowds were loving it. I could hear their collective coos as everything she said was broadcasted. 

"Uncle Red you were so amazing! You showed everyone that you're the true number 3 hero and soon everyone will see who 1,2 and 3 are!" She sang on and on. Here it comes she is going to call my number one and two problem children her Daddy and Papa again. But it's not like it's true anyway. 

"Where is Daddy and Papa?" She asked Red and the crowd's collective awe was almost deafening. 

"They will be out in a minute do you want to help Shoto and I until they get here?" Red answered her, earning an enthusiastic nod from her. He sat on his shoulders and he let her point at where he should knock down the ice walls for a short while before Midoriya and Bakugo walked out onto the stage. 

"Daddy! Papa!" She seemed to hop right off of Red's shoulders and started to run towards the boys, squealing when Bakugo caught her and threw her up into the air. The two boys covered her in hugs and kisses as her giggles were broadcasted for everyone to hear. 

"Did she just call two high school boys Daddy and Papa? What is the meaning of this?" Endeavor demanded from the mic still in the commentary box. Recovery Girl with him lecturing him for moving while she was trying to work. 

I groaned before answering, "Of course they are not her real parents. For one thing they are both boys. For another they are her chosen caretakers at UA. Chosen by her parents themselves." I now heard a collective, "Oh," from the crowd before they started cooing over how cute she was being again. 

"Daddy, Papa?" Eri asked almost quietly. 

"Yes Princess?" They answered together it was almost too sweet how cute of a family they make. 

"I know you two are going to fight really hard and not just training like usual but just don't get angry while you're fighting each other. Okay?" Her voice was an octave or two higher than normal showing that she was actually worried about them getting angry. 

"We promise, don't worry princess." Bakugo reassured her while Midoriya nodded happily. 

"Eri we need to get back to the box before their fight starts," I tell her in a tired voice. I can't help the smile on my face. Yes they are sugary sweet and I couldn't get enough of them.
