Sunflowers (All Might/Toshinori Yagi x Reader)

Epilogue: A Field of Flowers

"Mom! Dad!"

There was pressure at the foot of the bed, and I groaned as a smile crept onto my face.

The other huffed, changing to a sing-song tone. "Mother! Father!"

"Nanato...it's too early for thissssssss." Toshinori hissed beside me.

"But I made you breakfast. It's your thirtieth wedding anniversary, after all!!" She cried out.

I smelled it now, opening my eyes and raising myself up, catching the view of my daughter. Long blonde hair, her uniform for school on. UA high school. Hero course.

I looked down at my sunflower, hair turning white from age. He was still alive and kicking, having survived a risky lung transplant that gave him a new lease on life about six years ago. He took a deep breath, and I hit him with a pillow.

"Hey!" He swatted it away and sat up, blood dribbling down his chin. That never stopped...upsetting, but occasionally comical. "I'm up, I'm up..."

"Good...Good morning, daddy." She walked over and kissed his cheek.

Toshinori hugged her tight. I loved how he did that. He wanted to appreciate her and hold her close every chance he got.

We rose out of bed and made out way to the kitchen, where Nanato had indeed made us breakfast.

"I know daddy can't really eat a lot because of his condition, so I figured bacon and eggs were the route to go! Simple and American, just how he likes it. And mom, I made that for you, too! I hope you like it!" She beamed a smile like that of her father's at us.

Moments later, there was a knock at the door, which Nanato answered. "Oh, hi Uncle Deku!"

"Hey! Your mom and dad up yet? I wanted to wish them a happy anniversary!"

I sprung up, "Izuku! It's so good to see you!" I embraced him.

The boy was no longer a boy. He was nearly thirty years old, and of course, as intended by Toshinori, The Number One Hero. The greatest the world had ever known.

He joined us for breakfast but didn't want anything more than a glass of juice.

"Still keeping the diet up after all these years, huh, young man?" Toshinori asked with amusement.

"Yep! I have to keep what I have to be the best!" Izuku truly had grown into a burly young man. He had muscles close to what Toshinori used to have in his golden days, which was extremely impressive.

"How's everyone else from good old Class A been lately?" I questioned, wondering what they were all up to.

"From what I saw at the reunion last year, everyone is amazing. Tsuyu went independent pretty early and works on the coast. Todoroki took over his father's agency when his father passed. He and Yaoyorozu recently got engaged, as well! Oh yeah, and Tsuyu and Tokoyami are still going steady. Hero wise, Yaoyorozu is doing very well, so is Tokoyami. Kachaan? Well, he's cooled down. Ever since that incident in our second year, he's been more collaborative with me."

"That's a relief. I'm glad...! What about everyone else?"

He went through the other members of class A. Jirou and Kaminari were getting married in two months, and both were climbing the hero charts. Aoyama moved to a different part of the country, but he was doing drag shows and spreading heroic positivity. Koda and Satou started a vegan sweets company that was booming along with their hero careers. Kirishima and Bakugo were also dating, which I totally called back in the day.

Then the question popped back into my mind. The wedding I attended six years ago. "How are you and Ochaco doing?"

He paused, all three of us Yagis staring at him eagerly.

"Amazing! She's such a strong hero. She's been taking time off recently...for something." He held back a smile. "Something important."

"Elaborate, the suspense is killing me." Nanato rested her chin in her palms.

"We're...uh...having a baby!" Izuku grinned.

Toshinori threw his head back and cheered, "Wahoo!!! Called it! She seemed pretty queasy at that party three weeks ago!"

"Congratulations!" Nanato hugged him, making him grunt. He laughed and hugged her back.

"Deku, I'm so proud of you. You're going to be a great father! Better than yours for sure!"

"Ha! Yeah, definitely! Speaking of that, Tenko's been doing very well! The whole former League has!"

Izuku stayed for about an hour, and we chatted about a bunch of different things.

Tenko Shimura started a channel online and was making a lot of money off of that, and Jin, Toga, and Touya joined him in that. Mr. Compress went back to performing on the stage. Spinner became a tattoo artist, as well. They were all doing very well for themselves.

In their honor, Izuku, Toshinori, and I started a villain rehabilitation program. One that fixed the negative feedback loop of society before it. We were seeing results like this for many former villains.

"How was your internship Nanato? Is Mr. Aizawa still as hard as he was for me?" Izuku asked Nanato.

"Oh, he's difficult. But I smile with resilience and fight through!" She giggled, "My internship was tough and scary because I faced villains for the first time! A big one, too! I interned with Vine."

"Ah, Shiozaki. Very relevant to your Quirk. How'd it go?"

"She was chasing down an evil drug lord, he nearly cut my eye out!"

"WHAT!?" Toshinori and I yelled in unison.

"Nanato, you didn't tell us about that!" Toshinori coughed.

"But I didn't want to scare you, dad! And besides, I'm fine, aren't I? I need to push through and past situations like that if I want to be a good hero!" She stood up and pat his back reassuringly.

I pinched the bridge of my nose, "I mean, you're not wrong, but...wow..."

Izuku offered to walk with her to school to ease our minds, and she was happy about that.

"Bye, flower, have a good day." Toshinori kissed her forehead, waving her off as she walked away.

I sighed listlessly.

"What's the matter, dear?" Toshinori wrapped himself around me as we stood in the middle of the kitchen.

"Our kids are growing up too fast," I grumbled with a bitter laugh. "We're getting old...I don't like that."

"Oh hush...I don't like that she's growing up, but she's turning out to be an outstanding young hero. Just like her mother." Toshinori tipped my chin up so I looked at him.

I stared silently for a moment. "I think she got it from both of us."

"Well, definitely the running before she had a chance to think thing from me...and everything else from you." He snickered, kissing my lips with all of his love. "I got you something for our anniversary, my love."

"What is it?" I stepped away, holding his hands.

He bent down and reached around the corner of the hallway, and there he was holding a bouquet of sunflowers.

I smiled, "How did you know?"

He smiled back. That smile that always made me feel so incredibly safe, and will continue to do so until the day we draw out last breaths.

"Those are my favorite."
