Deku hasn't left the guess room all day, and the younger kids are starting to worry.
"Daddy?" Akarui gives he dad a sad look.
"Yes baby?" He was cooking lunch at the moment with Usagi in a baby harness, Katsuki had just gotten her to sleep.
"When will Midoriya come out of his room?" She sounds worried. Katsuki looks at her.
"Wha do you you mean Princess?"
"Midoriya promised we'd play today, but he hasn't come out of his room at all."
"He's probably sleeping." Katsuki shrugs it off like it's nothing.
"Daddy!" She pouts
"Akarui, don't shout at me, I'm making dinner, my hands are dirty right now, and I have your baby sister with me. If you're that worried ask Papa to check on him with you, because I'm a little busy right now."
"You're stupid Daddy! I hate you!" The baby starts to wake up and cries as she runs off.
"Oi! Bakuroki Akarui get your ass back here now!" Katsuki yells, but she didn't even look back. The blonde starts to wash his hand before comforting his baby.
It takes a good minute, but he was able to get her to fall asleep in her crib this time.

Shoto was in the study, still doing research to find someone with a quirk similar to the one the took his husband. There's a knock on the door, making him snap back to reality.
"Papa?" Akarui calls out.
"Come in." Akarui opens the door, giving Shoto puppy dog eyes. "What's wrong sweetie? Did you fight with Daddy again?" She nods. "Come here." He pats his lap. Akarui crawls into her Papa's lap. "What was it this time?"
"I just wanted him to check on Midoriya with me, but he's too busy to care..." she mumbles.
"What's wrong with Midoriya?" He pats her head.
"He hasn't come out of his room all day."
"I see, you're worried about him, huh?" She nods her head. "Shall we go check on him then?" The little girl smiles and nods. Shoto holds her as he get up and starts walking to Midoriya's room.
"Oi, Shoto." Katsuki gets the other mans attention.
"Yes Katsuki?"
"Akarui is officially grounded."
"Akarui, what did you do for Daddy to ground you?" He looks at the girl in his arms. She just pouts and doesn't say anything. "Answer me." Shoto demands. She looks down. Shoto looks at his Co-Husband.
"For one she raised her voice at me, two, she insulted me, and three, she said the "H" word to me." Katsuki may cuss sometime, but he's never said he hates anyone, in fact, both husband and Co-Husband agreed no one in the house should say it either.
"Bakuroki Akarui, you didn't tell me that." Shoto sounds very disappointed in his daughter. "How would your mother feel if he heard you say that?"
"... I don't know... upset?" She still won't look up. Shoto puts her down
"I'm with Daddy one, go to your room and don't come down until we call for you."
"But Mi-"
"I will still go and check up on him, now go." Akarui pouts as she walks off. Shoto sighs, then looks at Katsuki. "You okay?"
"I'm fine, just pissed." He takes a breath "I can't believe she would say that."
"Katsuki, it's okay if she hurt your feelings. I would feel extremely hurt if she said that to me." Katsuki let out a small growl, meaning, Shoto was right, but he doesn't want talk about it. "Okay, got it. Well I'm gonna go and check on Midoriya now." He walks off.

Shoto knocks on the door, but no one answers, he knocks again and hears a groan.
"Midoriya, are you alright?" Shoto hears the bed movement and footsteps. Deku opens the door, covered in sweat.
   "Hey, Todoroki-kun...."
   "Is everything okay?" Shoto touches Deku's forehead. "You have a slight fever."
   "Yeah, sorry. I think I caught a cold."  He sighs  "I feel bad, I told the kids I'd play with them, but now I can't."
   "Well the kids should understand that you're feeling unwell." He sighs. "I'll let Katsuki know and get some medicine."
"I'm sorry... I don't mean to be a burden."
"Midoriya we have 11 kids, it's not a big deal." He pats the green haired man's head. "Go rest, I'll be back in a moment." Deku nods and goes back to bed. Shoto closes the door and heads to the kitchen, where he sees his Co-Husband cutting up some steaks. "Hey, Midoriya is sick."
"He's suck? Hmmmm...." he stops cutting and starts to think for a moment. "I think we have some cold medicine on the top shelf in the pantry."
"Thanks." Shoto goes to the pantry.
"I guess it's a good thing I'm making stew for dinner." Katsuki smirks.
"Don't act like you knew he was sick. I don't even have to look at you to know you're smirking right now." They both laugh at this. "Ah, I found it.... Oh gross, it's the one Izuku gives us when we're sick."
"You're joking right, I thought I threw that one away!" Katsuki walks over to Shoto.
"You? I thought I threw it away right." The two men look at each other.
"How can we not have any other type of medicine?" Katsuki reaches up to the top shelf feeling around, only to find a piece of paper. "What the?" He looks at it and starts to read it. "Since you two always throw out the medicine I hid the rest and I won't give them back until this one is gone, not thrown away, but gone. Either take this or enjoy being sick.' .... That ass!"
"He really does want us to suffer... He knows we don't know which medicine to buy...How cruel." Shoto sighs.
"Well it's Midoriya's problem now. Give it to him." Katsuki walks away.
   "Katsuki don't you think that's unfair? I mean this medicine makes us more sick then better."
   "As much as I hate it, it does it's job. It makes us upchuck anything that shouldn't be in our body's."
   "True..." he sighs   "Alright, I'll give it to him."  Shoto makes a glass of water before going back to Deku's room.  Shoto opens the door, seeing Deku sweating like crazy. "Midoriya, I have some medicine for you." Deku looks up at Shoto and give a faint smile.
   "Thanks..." he sits up and take the medicine bottle.  "Ah, 'Cold be gone' you got the good stuff."
   "Good stuff?"
   "Whenever I was sick my mom would give this stuff to me. It's makes you better within a day." He chuckles.
   "It's so nasty though."
   "I've built up a tolerance for it."
   "Akarui was worried about you."
   "I'm sorry..."
   "It's okay."
   "...."
   "....  Katsuki will probably force you to eat, so get some rest until dinner is ready." Deku nods before taking a cap full of the medicine then going back to bed.
