The years passed. Ren was twelve years old, Mai was ten and Draco was seven. The Todoroki-Midoriya family was on their way to somewhere they hadn't been before. Or at least, the kids hadn't been to before.

"Okay, so you might be a bit scared or sad when we enter. That's okay. It's completely okay to feel that way." Izuku started explaining.

"Pa, where are we going?" Ren asked.

"Visiting an old friend."

"Old friend, how old?" Now, it was Mai who asked.

"Hm... eight years ago."

"Eight years ago what?" It was Ren asking again.

"Eight years ago, I met him."

"Name?"

"Drake."

Izuku held Draco's hand as they walked through the graveyard. "Pa?"

"Yes, Dray?"

"Why are we here?"

Izuku stopped walking. He kneeled down so he was at his sons height. "Theres something I never told you. Drake Nicholson, the mans grave we're about to see, he's the reason both you and I are alive. Eight years ago, today, Drake risked his life for me. And when he did, I was pregnant with you. That's why you're named Draco. It was his nickname that his friends called him."

"Oh. Why are we visiting him today?"

"Because, today, eight years ago, he died."

"Oh."

"But, don't worry, he was at peace with his decision."

"Okay."

* * *

They stood in front of the grave. Draco walked up to it and put the flowers on the floor in front of the tombstone. "Thanks, Mr. Drake Nicholson."

two years later

"Dad! Yes, I know. I'll only see you on the weekend. Pa's gonna be at the school! I'll be fine, okay! Now, can I go? I want a good seat in the auditorium!"

"Okay, bud. Have fun. Don't forget, weekend visits from us!"

"'Kay! Bye!" Ren started running off when Daiki called him back.

"Ren Todoroki-Midoriya!"

"Yes, Dad?" Ren groaned, just wanting to go in.

"Come give your dads and siblings a hug!"

Ren smiled a bit and ran back, giving Dabi a big hug, then Mai, then Draco, then Izuku. Ren pulled away again then started running off again.

"Tell Nikko I say hi!"

"I will! Bye! Love ya!" He yelled before walking up to the main gates.

"I guess I should probably go too." Izuku said, letting go of Draco's hand. Draco may've been nine years old, but he never wanted to let go of his Papa's hand after finding out what happened to him and Drake two years prior.

"Pa?" Draco asked shyly.

"Yeah?" Izuku kneeled down and looked at Draco.

"Do you have to go?"

"You'll see me on the weekends. Plus you have Daiki and Mai and Hito! He lives next-door."

"But I don't want you to leave."
