Chapter 16 - Going home

When Katsuki awoke, it was to see Izuku holding Haru, who was sleeping against his chest. "Mhm... love?" Katsuki whispered. 

Izuku's heart seemed to temporarily stop. He loved it when Kacchan called him that. "Say that again?" He asked. 

"What did I say..?" He muttered softly. "Oh. N-No, I'm good. Forget I ever said that." He said, now rather flustered. 

A short silence ensued between the two, before Izuku gained the confidence to speak up and say something. "What did you want to say, Kacchan?" 

"We're going back home today." Katsuki said. Izuku smiled and nodded happily. 

"I'm gonna tell Hatsume to get us out of this timeline after we get dressed and say bye to everyone." Izuku said, Haru starting to stir gently in his arms.

After getting dressed and collecting their belongings, the couple made their way down to the form-room, with Izuku's backpack so heavy from their things that he couldn't carry Haru and his bag at the same time, so Katsuki was holding him. He must have been tired from his ordeal with the villains, because he was sleeping so intently that it was unbelievable. 

Most of the members of Class 3-A were waiting there. Most of them wanted to get another look at Haru, who they thought was really adorable, for some reason. Except for the younger versions of themselves. The younger Deku had thanked them both. Because of their stay, he now had something that wasn't hatred going on with his Kacchan. 

The younger version of Katsuki was rather quiet but looked intently at the sleeping child, still not completely accepting of the fact that this was his future, with Izuku, of all people. He said thank you, but he was at a loss of words from that moment forth. 

At last, the time was here to leave. It had been an inexpressibly fun journey, but it was nice to return home after such a long time. 

Izuku retrieved his walkie talkie from his bag, and pressed 'call.' After a short time, not even a minute, he heard the mildly familiar voice of Hatsume Mei come through the speakers.  

"Hello? Hatsume Mei speaking." She said professionally, her act not dropping. 

"You know who it is. We've decided to leave. Can you get the portal ready?" he asked urgently. 

A frantic reply from Hatsume of yes made Izuku less nervous. He was in safe hands. "It should take around 8 minutes, so just hold on tight and wait." She explained, typing away on her keyboard. Izuku could hear it through the walkie talkie. 

9 minutes passed and Katsuki and Izuku started to lose faith in Hatsume, fearing that she couldn't do it and they'd be stuck here. Yet, all of a sudden, a silvery glitter spawned in front of their very eyes. The walkie-talkie started to go off too, saying that the portal should be there. All they had to do was walk in, and it would let you take them whether you needed to go. 

"It's done, Deku. Just walk inside and you can go." She explained. 

"Are you going first or should I?" Izuku asked. 

"I... We... we can't go at the same time?" He asked, his eyes darting down to look at Haru, who was still asleep. 

That earned a smile from the younger male. "Of course we can." he said.
