From Despair to Delight (BakuDeku)-(KiriDeku)

---------- 45 ----------

Standing on the other side of the door was a woman dressed in grey leggings and a white shirt with red flowers and green leaves, next to her was a tall man dressed in a blue muscle shirt and denim shorts. 

Izuku, and Yami were immediately pulled into a hug by the short green haired woman as she began to cry. "Izuku my baby, I've missed you so much!" the woman cried. The tall muscular blue-eyed blond man then wrapped his arms around both greenetts and an unknown infant. Izuku hugged back with his free arm, Yami begging to get a bit fussy on his hip. "Hi mom I missed you too." Izuku whispered, before stepping back out of the hug. "Come on in. Everyone else is already here, but I didn't actually tell them you were coming." Izuku says sheepishly as he bounces Yami to calm him. "You didn't tell them? Why not?" Toshinori asked. "I didn't want Eijiro to freak out for one, and I wanted it to be a surprise for the others." Izuku chuckled. "That's alright sweetheart. Who is this little fella?" Inko asked, reaching a hand toward the baby in her son's arms. Yami, not liking the strange woman, pressed himself closer to Izuku's side and away from Inkos hand. "Mom, Papa, this is Yami Tokoyami. He is Tsu and Kage's son, he's about two months old. And he doesn't really like anyone other than his parents and me. At least that's what Fumi said." Izuku tells them, ending with a soft kiss to the baby's forehead. "We should head to the back yard there all probably wondering what's taking me so long." Izuku states.

As the three turn and head towards the back door a red haired male enters the house. "Izzy, baby? Everything..." Eijiro started to say but cut himself off when he saw the other people with his boyfriend. Eijiro's eyes went wide, as he recognized Izuku's parents from the photos in Izuku's room. Eijiro stood frozen in his spot, mouth half open from surprise. Izuku notices the panic in his boyfriend's eyes and rushes to his side. "Eiji babe, it's ok. They won't bite." Izuku whispers to the taller male, taking his hand and pulling him slowly over to his parents. Eijiro didn't fight it, he let Izuku pull him along but still didn't, or couldn't say anything. "Hehe, calm down there young Kirishima." Toshinori says with a chuckle. "It's lovely to meet you Eijiro. My son has told me all about you, and you have nothing to be so panicky about." Inko spoke in her soft motherly tone, which calmed Eijiro if only a small bit. With a heavy gulp "Hello Ma'am, Sir, It is wonderful to meet you as well." Eijiro squeaked out, the fear in his voice evident. Inko stepped forward and pulled the redhead into one of her warm mom hugs, which felt so nice to Eijiro he instantly relaxed, Inko just had that effect on people. "There that's better, now shall we join the others in the back?" the green haired woman suggested. Izuku nodded and the five of them all made their way out into the yard with all the others.

The other occupants of the backyard turned their attention to the five people that exited the door. Some of the group knew exactly who the second couple were, others did not. Shoto and Hotoshi both got up from their seats and quickly walked over to the newcomers. "Auntie Inko, I didn't know you were going to be here!" Shoto said as he hugged the woman. "Yeah I know, It was meant to be a surprise, Shoto my dear." Inko replied to her nephew. "Uncle Yagi." shoto said, putting his hand out to shake the blond man's hand. Toshinori chuckled and pulled the duel haired man in for a hug. "You don't have to be so formal with me kid just because I used to work for your dad." Toshinori said. Shoto hugged back quickly before stepping back. "Oh Hitoshi pumpkin, It's so good to see you." Inko said, pulling the purplette into a hug as well. "It's great to see you to momma Inko," Hitoshi said, almost in tears at seeing the woman who was the closest thing to a mother the boy had growing up. Hitoshi loved his adopted dads but, sometimes you just need a mom, and Inko had taken on that role for her son's best friend.

Inko and Toshinori were greeted by all four of Izuku's other friends, as they all knew the older couple from being friends with Izuku in high school. They each received a motherly hug from Inko and a hug or handshake from Toshinori. Once the ones that new Izuku parents had been greeted, Izuku went through the painstaking process of introducing his mother and father to the other four of his friends/family. Izuku counted all the people in that backyard more than just friends; they were the most important people in his life and would be for the rest of his life. One at a Time Mina, Himiko, Kyoka, and finally Denki were introduced to and hugged by Izuku mother, and given a hand shake by Toshinori. Denki even was brave enough to ask the former boxer, and Mma fighter for an autograph and was given one which he cherished for many years to follow.

For the next few hours the entire group of fourteen adults and one infant, ate, drank and chatted. Inko and Toshinori caught up on the lives of the six young adults they already had known for years, and also got well acquainted with Izuku's new group of friends. All of the younger adults knew each other from high school but it was good to get back in touch with each other. Around eight thirty the sun was almost set and it was beginning to get dark. Izuku had suggested they all go inside so he could get down to what he had brought them all there for. Izuku insisted that he would clean up once everyone had gone home but the other refused to let him. So as he held a now sleeping Yami the others cleaned up, and put away all the items from the back yard. The leftover food was put away and packed into the already stuffed refrigerator, the tables and chairs were folded and put away in the storage shed. Now half an hour later they all were seated on the couch, in chairs, and on the floor of the living room. Izuku was standing with Eijiro, Inko, and Toshinori in front of the others. Yes, the Riots and Himiko already knew what was going on but they still sat patiently along with the other six of Izuku's friends.
