Izuku was over the moon! He and Katsuki had been dating for about two months now, and the only way his behavior changed was for the better. He started using his classmates' real names instead of the stupid nicknames he gave them at the beginning of the year, and that was only the start.

He started calling Izuku more pet names instead of 'Nerd' or 'Idiot', he had gotten more domestic, hanging off of Izuku's back, having an arm around Izuku's waist when they were outside. Though he didn't know that Izuku could hear him, he would talk to Ichika and often refer to himself as 'Dada' instead of as 'Kacchan'.

Izuku loved it. He was never without a smile when Katsuki was around. Katsuki always noticed when he was getting tired or annoyed and would take over caring for the baby for a few hours, leaving Izuku to wind down. To be honest, Izuku was expecting lots of miscommunication.

Mostly because Katsuki had spilled that he bullied Izuku as a way to keep him from getting hurt, and being a hero would lead to him getting hurt. Despite this huge miscommunication between the two that had lasted years, Katsuki was very passionate about making sure Izuku knew what he wanted and when and vice versa.

Katsuki had also started taking Izuku on dates. After Katsuki had found a babysitter he deemed good enough, he had made sure that she would be free to watch the baby every other Saturday so that the teens could have a date night. On days when Izuku had texted Katsuki while he was at school, he would bring home flowers or chocolate or even some ice cream.

All of these actions made it easier and harder to let Katsuki leave though. The older boy had been very clear that he would be going to Hosu for his work study, telling Izuku as soon as Manual had agreed to take him in, despite the completely different quirks.

Izuku had been nervous, Katsuki would be gone for days after all. This is the first time that Izuku would be home alone with Ichika, twenty-four seven, since she was born. Katsuki promised to text him when he got to Hosu and whenever anything happened. Izuku also promised to let him know if anything were to happen to Ichika. They had hugged and Katsukik had kissed both the teen and the baby goodbye before leaving to meet his classmates at the train center.

Izuku sighed as he looked at Ichika, "What am I going to do with you now that your Dad is gone, huh?"

The girl just smiled, turning her head in Izuku's direction. Izuku shook his head and picked the girl up. They had recently learned that Ichika liked music, a lot. Him and Katsuki had been dancing in the living room one day, trying to calm Ichika down, as she had just started teething.

Nothing had helped her calm down, not even frozen towels, until Izuku started humming a song. She seemed entranced by his humming, seemingly more willing to chew on her teething toy than before. They had taken to playing music off of a speaker constantly now, as it seemed to just generally calm her down now.

He looked down at her and started swaying her, hopefully she would lie down for her nap now.

Katsuki was nervous. This was the first time he'd left Izuku for more than a few hours since he moved in. The fact that Izuku didn't have anyone to help him with Ichika didn't make him feel any better. He had made sure to text Izuku when he got off of the train at Hosu.

He made his way to Manual's agency. There were a few reasons why Katsuki chose a water based pro, but the main reason was that Iida's brother had gotten hurt here. He had a feeling that Mister Goody-Two-Shoes wouldn't be Mister Goody-Two-Shoes much longer if he was left alone here.

He had been training with one of Manual's sidekicks, completely quirkless, when the sidekick asked why he chose the agency, as his quirk had to do more with fire than water.
