The first few days after the Riots departure were hard on both Himiko and Izuku. They both cried on each other's shoulders, and got super happy when they received a text or call from their loved one. After some time life slowly got back on track.

< -------------------- >

Izuku awoke to the sun shining in through a crack in his curtains. He knew what today was and what was supposed to be going on but he wasn't feeling it. Birthdays were meant to be a celebration, a fun time with the people who you loved and cared for and who cared for you the most. Izuku was not happy though as his boyfriend and lover, along with his newest family members, were not there with him. It had only been a couple weeks since Eijiro and the Riots had left to go on tour, the two men video called and texted like crazy, but Izuku was still said he wouldn't get to spend his birthday with his boyfriend.

Inko, Izuku's mother had done the same thing she always did, planned a party. She invites all his friends, puts up decorations, makes all sorts of foods, cakes, and treats. Any one who didn't know would think she was planning a party for her five your old not her twenty five year old. It had always been like this though, ever since he was a small child. Izuku didn't have too many friends when he was young, he had been bullied as a child. Kid saw him as small, weak, girly and a cry baby, making him an easy target. He was all those things and others made sure he knew it. Once he went to high school and had a bit of a growth spurt it all changed. Now people saw him as cute, adorable, desirable, unendingly kind, and generous. People really like that about him, and were drawn to his pureness. High school had given Izuku friends, confidence, and boosted his self esteem. Now he was a mostly well rounded young man.

Izuku climbed out of his bed, yawning and stretching as he moved. He went straight to the bathroom knowing his parents could arrive at any moment. The green haired man quickly showered and did his morning routine like always. He was feeling a bit better, not having morning sickness in a few days, certain smells still set off his stomach but for the most part better. Once back in the room he dressed in casual clothing, yes he had guests coming but they were all family so it was no big deal. He decided on a slightly oversized white t-shirt with the words totally rad on the front. The shirt was big enough it hung slightly off his right shoulder. Under that was stone washed cut off shorts with frayed edges, and one of Eijiro's red and black flannel shirts tied at his waist. Plain white socks and white all star converse to finish. 

He then made his way down to the kitchen to make breakfast for himself and Himiko

He then made his way down to the kitchen to make breakfast for himself and Himiko. The blond woman was just ten minutes behind him entering the kitchen. "Want some help?" the blond asked as she entered. "Oh no thanks I'm almost done actually." Izuku replied without even looking over to her. Not even five minutes later Izuku had two omelets plated, and was setting one in front of his friend. The two ate their food, Himiko thanking her green eyed companion.

Just as Himiko was taking the plates to the sink, she had insisted on cleaning up since Izuku cooked, the doorbell rang. Izuku stood from the table and headed for the door already knowing who it would be. As the greenette opened the door, he was engulfed in a hug by the bag laden arms of his mother. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY PRECIOUS BABY BOY!" Inko yelled with excitement. A chuckle was heard from behind the woman, as a tall blond man could be seen shaking his head. "Let the boy breathe, darling. We've much to do." Toshinori told his overly emotional wife. Inko released the hug and entered the house with all the bags she was carrying. Izuku sent his father a wordless thankyou. The blond man just smiled patting his short son on the head before also bringing in supplies.

"O great. Now that your mom and dad are here I can go out. I have a few errands to run before the festivities." Himiko stated. "What you're leaving?" Izuku whined, he didn't want to be there alone with his birthday crazy mother. "Sorry Izu. Won't be long promise." Himiko stated and without another word she walked out the door.

< -------------------- >

Hours later and the backyard was finished being set up and decorated. Just past the sliding door to the yard was a green and silver balloon arch, with a banner attached to it. The folding tables and chairs Izuku had purchased before were now being used once again. There was green cloth covering the tables, with silver streamers hanging down to just above the ground. Green latex, and silver star shaped mylar balloons were tied to the backs of all the chairs. 

A table was set up to the right and held one small gift for Izuku

A table was set up to the right and held one small gift for Izuku. Inside the gazebo were three tables, one set with ice and all sorts of drinks. The second table was covered with food Inko had created and cooked the night before, salads, fruits, veggies, finger sandwiches, chips, dip and much more. The third table held cookies, candies, chocolates and all manner of sweet treats. A large vanilla strawberry swirl cake with strawberry frosting set in the middle. Happy 25th birthday Izuku with green frosted lettering along it.

It was five o'clock when the green eyed birthday boy's friends and family began to arrive. Izuku was sitting at the head of one of the tables when a car was heard pulling up, shortly after the bell rang. Izuku stood to answer it but was told to stay by his mother who rushed to answer the door. When the short green haired woman returned she was followed by a tall duel haired male and a sleepy looking purple haired male. "Sho, Toshi." Izuku called out as the group approached. Shoto went over and hugged his brother while Hitoshi placed a gift on the table and then did the same. The two men joined the greenette and began a conversation while they waited for others to arrive. Izuku was just beginning to wonder where Himiko was. She had left earlier that morning and still hasn't returned, it was worrying Izuku. That was until someone entered the back yard without the doorbell having been wrung. Ochaco, and Tenya came walking out into the yard, surprising everyone. "Look who I found walking up the porch." Himiko giggled out from behind the blue haired man. The blonds arms were ladened with gift bags and boxes. Himiko and Ochaco both went to the table that held Izuku gifts. Izuku was hoping Himiko hadn't spent all that money she just earned on him.

Everyone joined Izuku at the tables, they were having a wonderful time chatting and visiting when the doorbell rang once more. It was a bit late but it seemed the final guest had arrived. Toshinori rushed inside to retrieve the newcomers. "Hey everyone, sorry we're late. Somebody was throwing a fit about getting in his car seat. That is until his daddy told him we were going to see his uncle Izuku. Then he quieted right down." Tsu explained with a smile. Everyone at the table laughed at the embarrassed look on the greenett's face. Little Yami, almost four months old now was doing grabby hands and struggling to get away from his father and over to Izuku. Tsu placed a gift on the table and Fumikage handed the child to his friend.
