The Many Married Lives of Izuku Midoriya

Todoroki Enji

A/N: Izumi quirk allows her to change her body temperature to extreme levels, so high in fact that she could burn someone on contract and is the reason for her marriage. Also the ages of the Todoroki children have been changed, they're now younger with the following ages at the start of the story: Touya and Fuyumi (twins in this AU) 9, Natsuo 8 and Shoto 5.

-They get married a few days after she turns 16 in a traditional wedding ceremony surrounded by a myriad of guests that she has never met before, including the 4 children from her husband's previous marriage who were all only a few years younger than her, the only person that she knows throughout the entire ordeal is her mother who hadn't stopped crying ever since Izumi had woken up early that morning to get ready, it's nothing at all like the wedding that she had imagined for herself as a child, that had included a man that she loved rather than one she had only met for the first time at the end of the aisle but at least the food they're served is delicious.

-He doesn't touch her that first night, or the night after, or any night in fact during the first month she spends at the estate, it terrifies her during every moment of her day not knowing when he plans to consummate their marriage and has to work up the courage to nervously ask him one night as he prepares to join her in their shared bed, turns out her father, the one who had sold her to Todoroki in the first place for the fire in her blood that her husband hopes will be inherited by the children they will have together, had lied about her age when arranging the marriage, claiming that she was 18 and Todoroki refused to lay with a child even if they are married, she can't help but let out a sigh of relief and feel as though she's breathing for the first time in weeks when he says that; and later has to sneak into the bathroom to cry when he tells her he'll register her for online schooling so that she can finish her education if that's what she wants.

-She isn't able to stop him from training Shoto, the sweet 5 year old boy who clings tightly to her leg as she cooks and looks at her with wide eyes as she reads him bedtime stories every night before he goes to sleep, but she does manage to convince Todoroki to stop pushing the boy so hard that he can no longer stand at the end of their sessions and let Shoto interact with his distance siblings, having spent hours of her spare time when she wasn't busy taking care of the house or the children collecting studies and statistics that showed if he continued down the path in how he raised Shoto his great legacy that would finally surpass All Might would be more inclined to follow down the path of villainy rather than heroics.

-Izumi can't help but cry when Shoto comes down with a stomach bug the day of the Annual Hero Awards, the 8 year old had been so excited when Enji had told him that he was finally old enough to accompany him the week before and had spent every night since rambling on until he could no longer keep his eyes open about how he couldn't wait to finally meet his favourite hero All Might and sneakily get an autograph while his father wasn't looking, however instead of attending the party like he had been dreaming about Shoto spent the night either stuck in his bed or with his head buried in a toilet bowl while Izumi took care of him, hardly leaving his side the entire day just like she always did whenever he or any of his sibling got sick leaving Enji no choice but to collect the same #2 award he received every year on his own, Izumi goes to sleep thinking that Enji will be mad that he didn't at least have her accompanying him until she wakes up the next morning to find two neatly wrapped presents waiting for her and Shoto in the kitchen after he leaves to go on patrol; the shock of finding two signed autographs from All Might leaving her speechless at her husband's kind actions while Shoto squeals in delight and rushed out of the room to show his siblings his present.

-Izumi isn't sure if what she and Enji feel for each other is actually love, she's never had a loving marriage to look up to and idolise to know what one looks like after all, but she thinks that what they have now, five long years into their marriage, is the closest to love that she could have ever hoped for, he kisses her every morning before he leaves for his agency with a homemade bento that he always eats every last bite of tucked under his arm, he takes time while out on patrol to talk to her whether it's over the phone for a quick chat or to sit down with her to have lunch while she's out of the house running errands and then there are the nights when she finds herself wrapped up in his strong arms, his breath on her neck and his body heat keeping her warm that makes her think that she wouldn't want to be anywhere else but by his side.
