(Izuku POV)

it's time I face the greatest obstacle yet, meeting my girlfriend's parents. I need to calm down if I want to make a good impression.

Ochako said they might be scary at first but they'll warm up to me in a while.

Ochako knocked on their door. Their place wasn't much but It's like my old home and it looks comfy, so I don't really mind. It makes me wish mom didn't sell ours, but no one stays there anymore so she thought it was better to sell it.

Not long after she knocked, her parents opened up. "Hey Ochako!! You didn't visit us this past weeks!"
"Sorry mom! I actually came with somebody.." she pulled me by my arms intertwined with hers. I smiled awkwardly and waved shyly. "Hello mrs. Uraraka." I greeted her.

"Izu-Kun! Did you came from a hangout with Iida? You used to stay at your home back then.." she said to me..  "uh..  About that, Mrs. Uraraka, I'm dating your daugter and I came here to ask for your consent!!" I bowed to her. She looked at me shocked then the friendly light ambience suddenly became dark and heavy. "Midoriya, how about we talk inside hmm?" she smiled at me in a different manner. 'Izu-kun suddenly turned to Midoriya huh?' I smiled back at her and went in as she was leading us to the couch.

Me and Ochako sat next to eachother while her parents are infront of us.
"So Midoriya... Since when?"

"Uhmm four weeks ago,  .. I think." i replied.

"Why Ochako?" her dad asks.

"What do you mean why??" I tilted my head.  "Why do like Ochako."

"Ochako being herself is enough for me." I told them. "I don't mind whether she's poor or not. I know she can take care of me and I can take care of her, we can be heroes side by side too." I continued. They're furrowed worried brows turned to soft smiles..  "And that reason is enough for us." Mrs. Uraraka said.

"Actually mrs. Uraraka, mr. Uraraka there's two things we want to tell you." Ochako looked at me and we nodded at each other.

"first, when I asked her out I said it it with the intention of getting married. We wanted to know if you accept of this." I told them.

"Of course we are!!  It's nice to know our Ochako caught a loyal man." Proud Dad noises from Mr. Uraraka.

"and secondly.. " Ochako continued for me. "It's still in a few months but we wanted to make sure you'll let us and you approve fully. Is it okay if I join Izuku's trip to South America on spring break?" she asked seriously...

"South america?.. What for?" they both asked. "Well my parents live there and they wanted to meet her so badly." I said rubbing the back of my neck. 

They sighed..  "I don't know Izu-kun.." Mrs. Uraraka said with a hint of doubt and worry.  "I can assure you we'll be fine! More than fine actually!" I bowed my head. "How are we sure of that boy?" Mr. Uraraka asked. "Well you since your my girlfriend's parents you deserve to know."  I sighed and took out my phone. Searched for Allencounts and showed what I showed Uraraka a few days ago..

"The royal family of South America!?" They exclaimed. "I only found out recently though. You don't have to worry about Ochako being judge and all! My parents can't wait to meet her in person, I've been telking them about her and they said she'd make a perfect Duchess." I told them
"D-Duchess!?!? they exclaimed again.

"It must've been a shocked. But this is also the reason why I asked her out with that line. It won't get in the way of our hero work, the South's royal family is famous for being in the hero industries."

They sighed and nodded to eachother.  "We agree, but make sure she's safe,  and doesn't feel alone." I nodded at Mrs. Uraraka, "And different bedrooms!" I nodded a bunch at mr. Uraraka,  "Of course, I never even thought of sleeping in the same room as Uraraka."

We talked more about school, about the date and Iida. I gave them the gifts I forgot to give earlier, Soon enough wenhad to go back to the dorms, we got home a bit pass the curfew. Aizawa had to wait for us outside about thirty minutes. "Aizawa Sensei!! we're sorry we're late!" me and my girlfriend apolized while running towards him.  "I know you're dating and everything but please, atleast come back in t-", "We're really sorry Aizawa sensei! Her parents kept us later than planned." I told him bowing.  "wait, her parents?" he pointed at Uraraka. "Yeah, I officially got their consent!" I smiled widely, proud at what I just said. He sighed,  and smiled a small smile. "Since it's actually a good, valid, and 'a right thing' reason I'll let this go, I'm sure the Duke and the Duchess are stressed and Exhausted.", "E-ehh!?!! Sensei you know??" Uraraka exclaimed.. Sensei chuckled and waved bye at us carrying his sleeping bag back to the teacher's dorms.

Ochako leaned beside me, her head on my shoulder "That was tiring.." she sighed. We walked insode, my arms resting on her neck and hand now on her shoulder while we talked about what happened earlier. "You were a nervous wreck Zuzu!" She teased me. "Zuzu?" I looked at her with a 'positive where did that came from' face she giggled, I chuckled "It was only bad at the first few minutes" I told her. "Yeah! Mom suddenly called you 'Modoriya' in a deathly tone from 'Izu-kun' motherly tone." She said. We laugh off as we enter the commons area.

"You're late. Where have you two been?" Bakugou asked surprisingly calm. "Oh... We went to Uraraka's parents. Sorry they kept us late." I said to my bestfriend scratching the back of my neck.

"AS U.A. STUDENTS YOU SHOULDN'T BE LATE FO-wait what??" Iida starting in scolding ending in question.

"Iida!! I already got her parent's permission."

"Then I could let that pass then!" he said fixing his glasses. 

"CONGRATS NERD!"  Bakugou shouted.

We went on walking with the class confused. It's obvious they know me and Uraraka were dating must've stalked us one time or something.

"Kacchan, Iida, Come with us in my room. I want to talk to you about sonething." I called them.

We walked to my room, Uraraka went to her room first to change. We got comfortable while waiting for her, Iida at the chair on my study desk. Kacchan took my bean bag and I sit on my bed. Not long after Uraraka came in, "Have you told them?" she asked entering my room. "Not yet." I answered. She walked towards me and sat beside me on the bed. "Kacchan, Iida, I know spring break is still months away but, Would you like to come to South America with us??"

I asked them. They stared at me trying to process everything for a while..  "SOUTH AMERICA!?!!" They exclaimed. "Midoriya! May I ask why you want us to come?" Iida said adjusting his glasses again poking it with his pointy finger. "Well it's about time you know, you are one of my best friends afted all. So I-" "HE'S A FREAKING PRINCE" Kacchan interrupted. "not now Bakugou." Iida said. I sighed.  "He's right Iida. I only found out recently too. You can just search us online and learn about us there."

He searched my family in his phone and recieved the same results as last time. 'Izuku Louis M. Allencount III. Second Duke of the South's he read.
"Dukes and Duchess are referred to as 'Your grace' Then what do I call you now??" he asked in a worried panic tone.
"Keep calling me Midoriya, Iida kun please!!" Iida nodded.

"then I assume this is a secret among us?" he asked, we all confirmed him with a nod. "Nerd, I just texted old hag she said I can." Kacchan announced casually.  "SO FAST!" The three of us exclaimed.  "Then I'll tell them next weekend. I'll be visiting them since Tensei is done recovering."

We talk a little more, but they really need to get back to their own dorms. We said our goodnights and left. I felt myself tired so I closed my lights and lay on my bed.
