Chapter XXII

It had been 7 years since Class 1-A's UA day's with everyone now full fledge Pro Hero's.

After graduating everyone spread out to live in the areas of their certain agencies. While Izuku of course went to go work for his father, Todoroki, and Bakugo had ended up working for the Endeavor agency, while Kirishima stayed with Fatgum.

And while Izuku was working for his father, he did move out of the house saying that, he was okay with living on his own.

Though his father insisted that he help Izuku pick out his new apartment complex, and if it was all up to Keigo's standards. While Izuku protested his father's protectiveness, he eventually caved when Keigo just refused to listen to the boy.

While Izuku only lived about 20 minutes away from Keigo by walk, Keigo was still incredibly adamant about Izuku checking in with him constantly during the first year.

Though after 6 years of living on his own his father had calmed down a bit, now only requesting at least a phone call or a visit at least once a month. Despite the fact that they saw each other often enough at the agency.

While everyone branched out and honestly many people lost contact, most of Class 1-A still tried to keep in touch. Such as meeting up every now and then at a local bar that was reserved for specifically Pro Hero's.

Such as that night when Izuku was just finishing up his patrol, having been called a few times by Ochako, reminding him that the class would be meeting up again, and to not be late. Again.

*Izuku! Where are you?! I said be here by 8:00! * Uravity/Ochako Uraraka, 23-year-old, Omega, Occupation: Pro Hero, Mate: Mina Ashido. Ochako shouted through the phone while Izuku had to hold out the phone to arm's length just to make sure he wouldn't suffer permanent hearing loss.

"I'm on my way Ocha! I promise! I just had to run back to my place to get cleaned up, patrol was kind of sucky today." Archangel/Izuku Takami, 22-year-old, Omega, Occupation: Pro Hero, Mate: unknown. Izuku explained while he chuckled quietly at the sound of Ochako's grumbling on the other line.

*Fine. Just get here already! Mina and I are already here, and Denki and Bakugo just walked in*

"On it I'll be there in just a second." Izuku said as he hung up the phone and unveiled his wings and took off.

Though as Izuku closed his eyes and took a relaxing breath of the crisp, cool air, allowing his body to go on autopilot, having memorized the path to the bar like the back of his hand, he was surprised to feel a rush of wind beside him, alerting him he wasn't alone in the sky.

"Well, hey there Izuku, fancy seeing you up here" Red Riot/Eijirou Kirishima, 24-years-old, Alpha, Occupation: Pro Hero, Mate: unknown. Kirishima joked with a smug smirk as he soared below Izuku, his arms crossed behind his head as he practically rode on the air underneath Izuku's stomach.

"Hey Eijirou" Izuku said as he kept up pace with the older male.

"Why are you wearing your mask again? You get cold or something?" Kirishima asked while Izuku only rolled his eyes fondly.

Izuku had gotten better over the years about wearing his mask, though it was still a regular item he kept on him. Usually wearing it as a form of comfort, though his friends used it as a sign that Izuku wasn't in the best state of mind or body.

"No, patrol just sucked today." Izuku stated while Kirishima only hummed, still keeping his position underneath Izuku.

"You wanna talk about it?" Kirishima offered though Izuku merely shook his head as he removed the mask. Though Kirishima still watching him diligently.

"I'm fine I feel better now anyways." Izuku said as he then looked back up, only to giggle quietly.

"What are you giggling about?"

"Oh nothing~ just the fact that your about to head smack that billboard." Izuku stated quickly with a laugh as he soared up avoiding the billboard. While Kirishima had to duck and roll quickly onto the rooftop to avoid colliding with the sign.

"Wow Izuku! Were you really about to let me hit that thing?" Kirishima asked as he soared back up into the sky, chasing after Izuku.

"No~ That's why I warned you didn't I?" Izuku said as he quickly enhanced his speed to lose Kirishima, only for the older man to laugh to himself as he gave chase to the Omega.

"Hey babe where's Izuku?" Pinky/Mina Ashido, 23-years-old, Alpha, Occupation: Pro Hero, Mate: Ochako Uraraka. Mina asked while Ochako merely grumbled to herself as she took a sip of her whiskey.

"He said he would be here, he had to get cleaned up. His patrol was sucky. But if he takes another 5 minutes, I'm spamming him" Ochako declared while Mina merely laughed at her mates declaration.

Though neither had to wait any longer as Izuku soared in through the open balcony of the bar and straight to Ochako.

"Ocha help!" Izuku said through a fit of giggles.

"Who are you running from this time Izuku?" Mina asked with a bit of a laugh

"Uh well..." Izuku trailed off as Kirishima then came soaring just as quickly into the bar stopping in front of Mina, nearly colliding with the girl.

"Damn it Kiri!!" Mina yelled as she yelled her bear up in the air while placing her other hand over heart as she turned away from the other Alpha and squatted on the ground for a moment.

"You gave me a damn near heart attack!! Fuck you!!" Mina shouted as she poked Kirishima's chest who was focused solely on Izuku, while he stared at the green haired male with a look that told Izuku he was in for it.

"Sorry Mina, but this one right here nearly made me collide with a billboard, then he tried to run away from me!" Kirishima stated, as he tried his tone to sound harsh, though his own laughter ruining any chance he had of that.

Izuku merely laughed harder as he hugged Ochako from behind, attempting to hide behind the girl, while she too broke into a fit of laugher.

"It's not my fault you weren't paying attention to where you were flying!" Izuku said through his giggles while Kirishima merely chuckled.

"Oi! Shitty hair nearly run into a billboard again?!" Dynamight/Katsuki Bakugo, 24-year-old, Alpha, Occupation: Pro Hero, Mate: Denki Kaminari. Bakugo shouted with a laugh while Kirishima only glared at his friend.

"Ha! Izuku did you run him into it or something?" Chargebolt/Denki Kaminari, 23-year-old, Omega, Occupation: Pro Hero, Mate: Katsuki Bakugo. Denki asked with a laugh as he walked over to the younger boy and wrapped an arm around his shoulders.

"Nearly, though I gave him mercy and told him to watch out." Izuku said smugly while Denki merely broke into a fit of laughter, as Ochako joined him.

"Mercy? Oh ho, okay Izuku you're playing with fire here." Kirishima said as he crossed his arms over his chest.

Izuku merely stuck his tongue out at his friend while Kirishima growled playfully at the shorter male. Though soon everyone else began to show up as the ex-Class 1-A made their way over to the specific room that the bar had set apart for them. Seeing as they met up here a lot for drinks and dinner.

"So how have you guys been, it feels like we haven't seen each other in forever" Earphone jack/Kyouka Jirou, 24-years-old, Omega, Occupation: Pro Hero, Mate: Momo Yoayorozu. Jirou asked while Momo merely hummed in agreement.

"We've been fine, finally got Ocha moved into my place. Took forever though since it took so long to find a moving company that wouldn't blab about where we live" Mina chimed in while Ochako gave a grunt in agreement.

"I told you idiots to use the company that me and Pikachu used when we bought the house. They won't say shit." Bakugo chimed in while Denki nodded as he continued to eat the fries he had ordered.

"We tried! They were booked! And I personally didn't want to wait months for them to get an availability!" Ochako stated while Izuku merely patted his friends shoulder in sympathy as he took a sip of his Shirley Temple.

"Yuga and I have been good as well, though our area has become a bit overrun lately, though thankfully only petting minor crimes." Ingenium/Tenya Iida, 24-years-old, Alpha, Occupation: Pro Hero, Mate: Yuga Aoyama.

"It does get quite tedious, especially when one of those little hooligans tries to rip my cape!" Can't stop twinkling/Yuga Aoyama, 23-years-old, Omega, Occupation: Pro Hero, Mate: Tenya Iida. Aoyama chimed in while Mina gasped in shock

"Those little shits! Why would anyone want to rip the cape?! It's the best part!" Mina shouted while she slammed her beer on the table.

"Thank you!" Aoyama shouted while he flailed his arms gently, Iida merely chuckling in response as he placed a comforting had on his mates shoulder.

"I've been good, just wish that paperwork wasn't such a pain in my ass" Cellophane/Sero Hanta, 24-years-old, Alpha, Occupation: Pro Hero, Mate: unknown. Sero stated while Mina and Denki burst out laughing

"Same!!" Mina shouted as Bakugo and Kirishima joined in on the laughter.

"Same here, and thankfully my father has been less up my own ass lately." Frostburn/Shoto Todoroki, 23-years-old, Alpha, Occupation: Pro Hero, Mate: unknown. Todoroki stated bluntly while Ochako, Iida, and Izuku laughed quietly at the statement.

"Well, we actually have an announcement to make." Creati/Momo Yoayorozu, 24-years-old, Alpha, Occupation: Pro Hero, Mate: Kyouka Jirou. Momo stated calmly catching everyone's attention. Momo then gently grabbed Jirou's hand while the girl blushed slightly as Momo raised her hand to show off the engagement ring that now sat on the girls finger.

"Holy shit you're getting married?!" Denki exclaimed while everyone cheered and clapped.

"Yeah, we are. We haven't decided on a venue yet or even when it's going to happen, but we are getting married" Jirou explained while Izuku gave his friend a quick hug that the girl happily returned.

Throughout the rest of the night everyone laughed and told stories of what had been going on recently. Though around midnight Izuku grabbed his things as he said a quick goodbye and gave his congratulations to Jirou and Momo once again.

"Wait a damn minute there! Where the hell do you think you're going? It's only 11:20!" Denki shouted as he pulled on Izuku's coat, stopping the younger from leaving.

"I have patrol tonight. I have to head back to my place and get changed so I can head out." Izuku explained while Mina, Kirishima, and Ochako looked to him skeptically.

"Patrol? Izuku, you told me that you just got off patrol." Ochako stated while everyone then looked to him.

"Yeah, I did, but I decided to take another shift. I also kind of forgot about tonight until you called Ocha." Izuku explained while everyone else nodded.

"This is why I have to call you Izuku, you would probably forget to sleep if I didn't remind you" Ochako stated with a shake of her head. While Mina only laughed. Knowing that her mate wasn't exaggerating

"I know~ but that's why you're my friend! I love you~" Izuku cooed

"I better head out too, I have an early shift tomorrow." Kirishima stated while he grabbed his things as he walked out with Izuku.

"Did you really have an early shift? Or were you just trying to be polite so you could go home and play with Titan." Izuku asked while Kirishima merely laughed as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"He's a cute puppy Izuku, you can't blame me!" Kirishima stated not even trying to deny the fact that he lied to his friends so he could sneak off to play with the black Great Dane puppy that he had just recently adopted.

"I can blame you because I haven't met him yet! You've only showed me pictures!" Izuku pouted as he looked up at Kirishima who merely laughed.

The man had grown drastically ever since UA, he now stood at least 7'0. Not to mention he had bulked up since then as well, he had also grown out his hair too, it now constantly being held up in a ponytail or a man bun of sorts. He also had gained a couple of scars on his body and across his face, most small and faded, while the biggest one he had was the one that went from the bottom of his jaw up till the ridge of his nose.

Though thankfully Izuku had grown as well seeing as he was now at 5'10, although he never did bulk up, seeing as he was still keeping his lean and fit figure, Izuku had also cut his hair a bit it now barely fitting into a small pony tail, though that didn't stop Mina and Jirou from practically crying at the sight of Izuku with short hair, both from the fact that they would miss his long hair but also because he looked absolutely adorable.

"Well come by then! I don't mind, you know where my house is." Kirishima offered while Izuku only shook his head fondly.

"I'll try to come by, though I don't understand how on Earth you can live in such a huge house by yourself. I always hated it." Izuku stated, although muttering the last part to nobody but himself.

"Yeah, well I guess I'm not the best in smaller spaces and besides that's kind of why I got Titan. Besides he's going to be huge when he's full grown. So, he'll need the space as well." Kirishima stated while Izuku merely hummed in understanding.

"So, was there any reason why you suggested we walk instead of fly?"

"No reason just thought it would be more fun, and so you won't run me into another billboard" Kirishima stated as he side-eyed Izuku, who only burst out laughing.

"Hey! Your fault for not paying attention!" Izuku stated while Kirishima only growled playfully to the younger. Though Izuku only gave his own small growl back, although it held nowhere near the weight or the sound that Kirishima's did.

Kirishima had ended up walking Izuku home and offering that If Izuku ever wanted to come by to finally meet Titan he was more than welcome. Of course, Izuku promised that he would come by as Kirishima then left the Omega's apartment and headed back to his house.
