"If you fold one thousand paper cranes, your deepest desire will become true. If your heart belongs to another, upon the last fold of the last one their heart will be yours as yours is theirs. That's what my mother told me on my 13th birthday, she told me to fold 1000 cranes and I would find my deepest desire or I would find my truest love. I believe that to this day and what proved that to me was my mother's own collection of 1000 hand folded cranes. That night I folded my first one and I have folded one every day since and today I have only one left to fold. When I was young I thought doing this would bring my parents the money they need to live a good life, not scraping each and every single yen to get by each month. I became a hero so I can support my parents like they supported me growing up.

I had fallen for the man who saved my life before my hero career could even start. My hero is Izuku 'Deku' Midoriya. Although I told myself to push my feelings for him down, I still found myself daydreaming about him in class. Oftentimes I had pleasant dreams of us raising a family that is protected by the symbol of peace Deku. But back then I sat there in class fantasizing of that day in the distant future.

"Uraraka? You okay? You've been staring at me for a good five minutes." Deku asks, snapping me out of my daydream.

"Y-yeah! I'm just lost in thought." I reply, the one problem with that dream is that Deku was very dense when it came to anything romantic back then. Mina has threatened to tell him that I have a crush on him on several occasions, I told her that I would tell him but I can't manifest the courage to do so.

"Oh, just making sure you're alright. You want to train later in Cementoss's gym? It can help us both out... and I need some tips on hand to hand combat if you w-wouldn't mind." Deku asked me as I tried to avoid eye contact with him to not turn into a blushing stuttering mess.

"Y-yeah sure I can train you! I've been needing a sparring partner since the internships after the festival. I don't want to get rusty." I answer him as he gives me a smile thanking me before heading off to go talk with Iida and Todoroki.

"Someone's got a date tonight~" a familiar voice teases from behind me.

"Mina! It's not a date! We're just training, nothing like that is going to happen!" I shout at her as she and Toru start to laugh.

"You're just as dense as he is, he totally just asked you out! You haven't even noticed that he stares at You during class more than you stare at him." Mina continues as I try to hide my blushing face.

"I-I don't know what y-you're talking about." I stammer out before collecting my things and walking off to the dorms to get ready to train.

As much as I try to deny it, I've fallen for the man who saved me that day. It was like all might himself leaped up and destroyed that robot with one punch. But instead of All Might it was Izuku, it's funny the first person that he saved kicking off his career as a hero falls for him as well. I make my way back to the dorms chatting with Tsuyu along the way and when we get there I make my way up to my room to fold the last crane and get changed for our training. I folded the 13 folds in record time, becoming a master of it last year and I changed into my sports wear before meeting up with Deku and heading to the gym to train. Our walk down to the gym was almost completely silent, the awkward tension between us could have been cut with a knife. Looking back on it, it was the perfect time to tell him how I felt but I kept my mouth shut and bided my time for the right moment.

We get to the gym and the same layout is still there from the super move training and it makes the perfect training platforms for us. We make it up to one of the platforms and we start our sparring match after putting our water bottles down. Deku activates his full cowl and I take my stance and we charge at each other throwing punches and kicks that purposely miss each other. Each of our bouts ends with Deku floating up in the air and me victorious due to my training in martial arts. Once we finish sparring we start to go through techniques of punches, kicks and weapon takeaways that I learned with Gun head. His quirk lets him throw punches so fast that I can't even see his arms move before I see the pillar crack from the blow. The time flies by and soon it's nearing the curfew so Deku and I sit down by the front and grab our water bottles.

"Wait! I think that's mi-" Deku said as I took a drink from the water bottle, I looked down and saw his name across the label and my heart skipped a beat.

"I-I'm s-s-sorry deku! I-I D-d-didn't know it was yours!!!" I stammered out at the top of my lungs with a very bright red face, I handed him back the water bottle trying my hardest to avoid eye contact. I scurried away to the bench and he sat across the bench from me as I accidentally said what I'm thinking aloud.

"W-was t-that an indirect-kiss?" I muttered out loud and unfortunately for me he heard me and answered an answer that I never would have expected.

"Y-yes it w-was... T-though I w-wish it was a d-direct o-one." he said probably thinking that I can't hear him.

"I-it c-can b-be if you want it to..." I answer as he instantly snaps to face me with a wide eyed expression.

"E-Eh?! You're serious?!" Izuku shouted in surprise. "Y-yeah... it's just." he began, causing my heart to sink in my chest.

"Is something wrong?" I timidly asked as I turned to face him scooting a bit closer to him so our knees were slightly touching.

"I never expected the girl I quite literally fell for to like me back." He said as I chuckled a little bit. "Eh?! Was it something I said?" He asked quickly as I shushed him by putting my finger to his lips.

"You did actually fall, it's funny that we fell for the person... who saved... the other." I said as we leaned in for our first kiss, our lips met after what felt like an eternity and we moved our arms around each other savoring the moment that started our relationship.

"His lips taste like peppermint." i remember thinking to myself while moving my fingers through his hair as we got deeper into our first kiss. The moment was ruined when a flash of light snaps us out of the perfect kiss. We both quickly separated and looked to where the flash came from and we saw Bakugou, Kirishima, Mina and Toru standing there with a professional photography camera all smiling at the picture.

"MINA!!!" I yelled at the top of my lungs as they started to laugh at us. Your father didn't fare as well as I did and fainted from the embarrassment as I yelled at our friends but I can't remember what the rest I said was."

"Did daddy really pass out from that?" My daughter Hisui asks, looking up at me through those same forest green eyes as her father.

"Yeah he did, he's still a big goof like he was way back then." I say as I hear Izuku shout out from a different place in our apartment denying what I said to our daughter.

"I am not!" he denies before I hear our second daughter start to cry and Izu quickly tries to calm her down.

"I think Nanako is upset again Mom." Hisui says as I stand up and walk to the door, turning off the light to her room.

"Yeah I'll handle it, she's probably hungry. Anyways remember what I said, If you fold one thousand paper cranes, your deepest desire will become true. If your heart belongs to another, upon the last fold of the last one their heart will be yours as yours is theirs." I say before starting to close the door.

"Momma? Do you still have those cranes?" Hisui asks as I hold up a finger to my lips, giving her a smile while pulling out a white crane and setting it on her nightstand before closing the door saying goodnight.

"Babe? Nanako wont stop crying and I'm afraid she will wake up her brother Toshinori." Izuku says motioning to Nanako's twin brother asleep in his crib with a vacant spot for his twin sister.

"She's mad at you for yelling, give her here." I say as he gives me the baby that quickly calms down in my arms and opens up a pair of emerald green eyes. "It looks like all our babies got your eyes Izu." I say setting down Nanako in her crib next to Toshinori.

"And they got your cheeks and hair." Izuku says as we walk upstairs to our room to turn in for the night.
