63

"Is he really so tired that he keeps falling asleep when you're out in the garden?" The Prince, Casper I think is his name, grumbled while rolling his eyes. I forced myself to keep smiling but it was pretty obvious that he was bothering me. 

"He is pregnant, the fact he is falling asleep means that he is comfortable and relaxed, that doesn't happen often in our line of work," I managed to still sound polite if nothing else. 

"But he isn't getting to see any of the things that make France great because he is sleeping," he looked even more irritated than before and my patience is about to snap. 

"Hey kid," I jumped at the unexpected voice out of habit and looked around before realizing that it was Dick. 

"What do you want now?" I groaned and Kacchan was rubbing at his eyes as if someone had yelled to wake him up. 

"Dick, if you were still alive I would strangle you," Kacchan grumbled before he started doing a few light stretches. 

"How is the bundle of joy? Healthy? I still have that doctor at the ready if you feel the need to talk to her," Dick offered and I frowned. He isn't usually so helpful without reason. 

"Who are-," I held up a hand silencing the prince, not caring in the least that it pissed him off. 

"Dick, why are you bringing up the doctor now? You're not that nice," I asked, my voice was anything but friendly but he laughed anyway. 

"It would be better to just let her use your body to examine him. She has been giving me a headache with her fussing," he chuckled but he did sound tired. Can the dead actually feel tired? 

"She wants to use my body?" I asked instead but it turned out that it wasn't like when I gained their quirks, I would still have full control, and would just be able to experience it too. Not reliving my experiences or anything. 

"I'm starting to feel like a pin cushion for the dead," I groaned, which only made Dick laugh until suddenly I couldn't hear him at all and instead I felt warm. 

"Deku, your eyes are pink," Kacchan said while watching me carefully. 

"Better be temporary," I grumbled and then a much higher version of my voice started talking but it wasn't me. 

"Sorry, little holder. It's just that I was a doctor my whole life and even in death I can't seem to relax. Don't fret too much though, it's perfectly normal to be tired while pregnant especially this far into the pregnancy," she chattered away while my body seemed to move all in it's own to exam Kacchan. 

"He is a little low on vitamin C and K and he could use a little more iron but otherwise he is perfectly healthy. I would offer you my quirk but then you would constantly be getting updates on his health every time you touched him and I don't wish that hell on anyone," she sighed before turning Kacchan to look directly into my eyes. "And yes, your eye color will go back to normal once I'm done," she didn't really find anything else but before she left she said, "Oh by the way, one of the previous holders wanted to talk to you. We know that you get headaches when it's more than one at a time so they are just waiting for me to finish." 

I let out a sigh, "Are you finished then?" I'm so tired. I'm always tired if I need to talk to more than one spirit in a day but now my head is starting to hurt. 

"Yeah, although they said they would rather you come to them, something about a meeting? Anyway, young Katsuki, eat plenty of lean meat and fresh fruit and vegetables. I know you're tired of fruit but your daughter needs it, if I had to guess I would say your quirk and possibly her's in the future is what is requiring it." 

"Wait, her future quirk?" 

"I can't go to them! The only time I've gone to the meeting hall was while I was asleep!" I snapped and she just laughed. 

"Sorry can't answer that," then her voice was gone and Kacchan whispered. 

"Your eyes are green again, but they are glowing," I wanted to answer but suddenly I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore.

"You guys really can't just take me like that," I grumbled but when I opened my eyes I just saw the previous holders standing there as if they were waiting for me. 

"Yeah, but it was an emergency. Don't worry, your lover can still hear us just fine. It looks like it was just a bit much for you to have so many people talking to you in one day," A woman explained but for the life of me I can't remember her name. 

"Midoriya! My boy, I have missed you so much!" All Might's laugh bellowed around me and when I turned I found him behind me, in his hero suit from before we met. He looks exactly like I remember him, like a hero. 

"Dad, I'm not Midoriya anymore," I laughed but hugged him anyway. It really is like having two different dads from how different they are but still. 

They are both my heroes. 

"We needed to warn you about the dangers to come but it seems like you two have already started working towards averting the worst case," All Might started, obviously proud only for someone else to interrupt him and somehow it became a bragging fest on who knew me best and they obviously were the one to teach me something or another. 

"I'm really tired, is there something that you actually needed me here for or did you just want to see me?" I sighed and Dad was picking me up and swinging me around in a tight hug. How does this hurt so much when it's only in my head? 

"We are just so proud of you. You have grown so much more than all of us combined so no, going back in time doesn't count as cheating," he laughed as if he read my thoughts but he probably did. 

"You are doing amazing, we are watching and we will help in any way that we can," another voice was faint but I could feel myself being pulled back awake again. "Take care and if the time comes forgive me if I borrow your body," I have no idea which one that was but so long as they don't do anything to Kacchan, I don't really see it as a problem. After all, they are the ones that made my dream of being a hero a reality.

"My head hurts so much," I groaned, not even bothering to open my eyes thanks to the pounding behind them. 

"I'm sure, they really didn't need to call you into the meeting hall like that just to tell you that they were proud and to be careful," Kacchan chuckled but I could feel his fingers combing through my hair and I turned to relax, my face now against his belly and our little girl. I felt a thump and smiled just happy. 

"Did I worry our little princess? It's okay, Daddy is alright," I whispered while cooing at our baby. 

"Tell that to my kidneys," Kacchan grumbled but the fact that he was still combing through my hair told me that he wasn't actually upset, at least not at the moment. "Can we go to bed? I feel like I could sleep for a week," he let out a sigh and I smiled before opening my eyes. 

I stood up, having to catch my balance a little. When I was steady again I helped Kacchan to stand but he walked on his own just to yawn again. 

"Boys!" We turned to see Dad and the rest of our parents running over and it's only now that I realize that the prince wasn't with us anymore. He was with our parents and the queen now. They worried and fretted a bit but once Dad heard about the spirits and then the vestiges and everything else that happened he let out a sigh. 

"Why do you have to be so strong? If you were at least as weak as me then-," he stopped talking and just hugged me. "I worry about you so much." 

"Would it be too childish of me to ask to be carried back to bed?" I asked, rubbing my eyes and seeing Kacchan doing the same. 

"Never," he picked up Kacchan carefully so that he was carrying us both and Blackwhip sprung out and wrapped itself around not only Kacchan and I but Dad too, keeping a good solid hold on us. 

"Oops, I don't think we fed Blackwhip today," I yawned and Kacchan chuckled. "When we get back to our room," I mumbled but I could feel the thrill of energy from Blackwhip but at the same time it kind of felt like I was underestimating it. Me? Us? "Maybe tomorrow?"

"Deku, go to sleep," Kacchan rolled his eyes but it was pretty easy to see that he was amused so I couldn't help smiling. Sometimes it's nice to just be taken care of.
