"Hey, hey, hey... It's okay baby... it's okay. Dadda's here." Izuku whispered. Izuku, Katsuki, and the new arrival to their family, Hikaru, had just come home from the hospital. 

Hikaru was only two days old, and his parents had finally decided to bring him home, to see where he would be living, and to eventually meet his older brother and sister. He had green hair, just like Izuku's and big blue eyes. All babies were born with blue eyes, but they changed colour eventually. Izumi's eyes were red, while Haru's were green. There was a pretty equal chance that Hikaru would have either colour. 

Izuku was soothing Hikaru as much as he could. Apparently he didn't like car trips. "Baby... shh... it's okay. Everything's okay. Kacchan, can you go make a bottle of baby formula, please?" He asked. 

"Yeah, I guess. Be back in a bit." Katsuki said softly. 

When Katsuki returned, it was to see a truly adorable scenario going on. Hikaru had just started to sleep and Izuku didn't even realise. He was still whispering sweet nothings to him, trying to get him to calm down. 

"Uh Deku, there's your baby formula." He said, handing it to him. 

"Thanks." He answered briefly, before showing it to the nearly sleeping newborn. "Hey Hikaru. What's this, eh?" He said softly. He held it, but lowered the bottle to his mouth. If Hikaru only knew one thing, it was how to drink. He started to suck from the bottle almost instantly and fell asleep shortly afterwards. 

Izuku breathed a hesitant sigh of relief and realised that he was in a really deep sleep. He must have been tired from his crying on the way here. 

"Gonna put him to bed. I'll be back." Izuku said, carefully removing the bottle from his mouth and picking him up. 

Izuku carried the sleeping baby upstairs, remembering to support his head. One-handedly, he opened the door to the nursery, and set him down in the crib. He took a small blue blanket and used it to cover him, and several other blankets too. He was so young and small that he needed to be kept as warm as possible. Izuku switched on a nightlight and turned on the cradle above the crib, making it turn and play a sweet, quiet tune. 

Hikaru's hand sub-consciously reached out and grabbed one of the teddies that were in his bed. It was one that was bought before they knew his gender, so it was a pale yellow colour. Izuku smiled, reveling in his son's cuteness. Before he could actively comprehend what on earth he was doing, he had lovingly kissed him on the head. 

"Sweet dreams, Hikaru." he said softly, before exiting and closing the door behind him. 

He turned around and saw Katsuki walking up the stairs. His voice quiet, he said to him. "Kacchan, what're you doing?"

"I'm going to bed, Deku. It's 11pm." He said in response. 

"What, already?"

"Yes, I'm f*cking tired." 

Izuku giggled, reminded of the time that Katsuki would go to bed at 8:32pm when they were in school. "Okay then Kacchan. I'll come to bed with you too, even though it's not that late. What on earth do you do when we have all night shifts?" He asked.

"Drink coffee so much that I basically deprive the f*cking world of it. Hence why I only have one night shift, out of the four shifts that I have." He answered, opening the door to their bedroom. 

Izuku nodded, following him inside. He sighed. "We have to pick up the kids tomorrow." He said. Miksuki was actually unable to look after them. She was on holiday. So, after a lot of asking around, Urakara said her and Iida would do it. They were living together, but no one was sure whether it was as a couple or as roommates. Neither would say. There were bets on whether they were a couple or not. Admittedly, they did look good together.
