Today was Izuko and Ochako's day off. The sunlight was beaming into the bedroom, and the alarm began to buzz.

Ochako reached out to turn it off and sat up for a stretch. She looked over to the other side and was genuinely surprised. Izuku was actually still asleep.

He was a lot less worried than he had been the last couple days, and actually felt somewhat calm. Enough so that he actually slept in!

Ochako moves his arm and begins to cuddle him as he is somewhat waking up.

"Good morning sleepy head." she said to her boyfriend.

"Good morning, my love." he replied as he kissed her forehead.

They lay there for a few moments and finally decided to get up.

"So, what do you want to do today?" Izuku asked the girl as she began grabbing clothes from the dresser.

"Have anything in mind?" she replied back with another question.

"I might," he teased.

"Well, what is it," she asked back in the same tone.

"How about we do some grocery shopping this morning, like we discussed, and maybe tonight we could go check out something?" he explained.

"Check out what?" she asked confused.

"Well, there's this spot I've been wanting to visit. It's been a while since we've been there." he explained further.

"Are you thinking about going to the memorial?" Ochako questioned.

After the war ended, the two used to visit the memorials of the fallen heroes when they had the chance. However, there was one in particular that Izuku liked to visit.

"Not exactly," he began. "Although I really do need to see him"

"Have they still not come back yet? The vestiges?" Ochako asked.

"Not yet," Izuku replied solemnly. "But besides that, there is somewhere else I want to take you, but I'd rather show you than tell you." he tried to tease, even with the emotions he was trying to hold back.

"When did you want to go?" she asked.

"Later this evening" he replied.

"I think it would be good for us if we saw him this afternoon, hon." Ochako explained.

Izuku nodded in agreement.

The couple went into town that morning and did their grocery shopping. It was a cool overcast day, with a little bit of rain. They went home quickly to drop off everything they had bought and drove another twenty minutes to the memorial site.

They pulled up the car and parked right outside of the gates.

"Do you want a moment alone before I go in?" Ochako asked Izuku.

"If you don't mind," he began. "I just have something I need to ask him."

She nodded in understanding. He got out of the car and walked up to a stone that had an engraving in it.

In Memory Of Toshinori Yagi

Hero Name: All Might

The Greatest Hero To Ever Live

"Hey All Might," Izuku began, already starting to tear up, but still fighting as hard as he could to hold back.

"It's been a while since we've talked. A lot has happened. I finally did it! I became number one!" he explained, hoping to hear his voice.

"I really need your advice right now. Something has come up in the world, and it's not looking good. I just need to know what you would do." he continued but everything was still silent.

He began to lose hope, but decided to go on in case he was listening.

"I bought the ring like I said I would. I think I'm ready to ask her. I know you would be proud."

He sat there in silence for a few moments but nothing came of it.

"Well, I just wanted to-" He began before he was cut off.

Izuku saw a flash of yellow light inside his mind, and he froze in place.

"All Mig-" he was cut off again before blacking out for a moment.

Izuku had begun to see flashes of memories. They were All Might's memories!

They showed moments where He had faced struggles and overcame them. Then he saw it through his eyes. The battle against One for All! The final battle.

Soon he was knocked out of the trance with Ocako shaking him.

"Izuku, are you okay!" she asked frantically.

"Y-Yeah, i'm all right," he began.

"Was it him?" she asked, almost nervous that she interrupted something.

"I don't know," he explained. "That was something different than before."

She looked at him all confused, not able to get a clear reading on his mind.

"I'll explain," he started as he reached out his hand. "Let's go see everyone else too."

The couple had walked around for a while visiting other heroes they knew, that they had lost in the war, and Izuku talked about the strange vision he experienced.

"Maybe it was him after all," Ochako asked optimistically.

"I hope so." He replied.
