Third Person PoV:

It had been twenty years since that day.

Araki, now a young woman of twenty, was debuting her hero career. Izuku and Katsuki sat among the audience, watching with pride as their daughter stood confidently on stage, delivering her speech.

“I want to thank everyone in my life who’s helped me get here,” she began, her voice clear and strong. “First and foremost, I want to thank my sire—the Pro Hero, Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight!” She grinned, knowing how much the name still embarrassed Katsuki. The audience burst into laughter at her playful tone.

Katsuki, feeling his cheeks heat, muttered to the people around him who were chuckling at his expense, “I came up with that name in high school!”

His comment only made them laugh harder.

Unfazed, Araki continued, her bright smile lighting up her face. “My sire is truly a wonderful dad. I wouldn’t be here without his relentless support and endless love...” Her voice softened as she trailed off, emotions shining in her eyes.

Izuku and Katsuki exchanged a glance, their hearts swelling with pride. They couldn’t be prouder of their little girl as she thanked everyone who had supported her—including Beyoncé.

Araki took a deep breath, glancing out at the crowd. She looked like she was gathering her thoughts, and her green eyes seemed to search the audience until they landed on her parents.

“I also want to thank my dam, Pro Hero Deku,” she continued, her voice softer but filled with warmth. “From him, I learned what it means to fight not just for myself, but for everyone who needs a hero. He showed me that life is more than just being number one in ranks, but being number one in life.”

Izuku felt his throat tighten, his own memories of his early hero days. He reached out, and Katsuki’s hand was already there, squeezing his hand gently.

“And, finally,” Araki’s face softened as she spoke to the crowd, “I want to thank everyone here today—the fans, my friends, and my mentors. You all helped me realize this dream. I can only hope to be the hero each one of you deserves.”

The crowd erupted in applause, and as Araki stepped back from the podium, Izuku and Katsuki exchanged a smile.

“Didn’t think she’d actually pull off that speech,” Katsuki muttered with a proud smirk. “Not after she nearly ran out of the house this morning because she couldn’t find her socks.”

Izuku chuckled, eyes misty. “She’s tougher than we think. Just like her Sire.” he says, gently kissing his mate’s lips.

Once the ceremony wrapped up, they headed over to a nearby diner. Not a fancy spot, just a cozy Denny’s. It was their family tradition—simple, but meaningful.

They ate and laughed together, recounting old memories, and teasing Araki about the moments they’d been most proud of, or embarrassed, over the years. Each moment felt precious, the kind of night they knew they’d all remember forever.

As Izuku and Katsuki watched their daughter happily talk about her dreams, they felt a quiet pride settle in. She was everything they’d ever hoped for, and more.

They felt lucky, all three of them, to be here together.
