Chapter 40

4 years ago…

The morning sun streamed down through the large, tinted windows at an extremely early hour. The room was filled with soft sunlight that fell gently on the sleeping bodies lying across the bed, making their figures appear almost angelic and peaceful. All of the boys in the room seemed to be deeply sleeping, oblivious to the world. Izuku and Toshinori had just gotten home from their weekend trip to the city, where they celebrated their first anniversary together. It had been one hell of a day, and they wanted to enjoy it properly for as long as possible. Izuku had already gone back to sleep in his boyfriend's arms as they lay on their sides facing each other. The freckle faced boy had his eyes closed, content and relaxed with the warm embrace from his husband. Suddenly, Toshinori felt a gentle nudge against his side, making him open his eyes and turn to see what it was. Izuku's green eyes opened slowly as well and met the sleepy brown ones staring at him lovingly. Toshinori smiled slightly and pulled Izuku a little closer to him.

"I love you." The words made Izuku's cheeks turn pink and a small smile spread itself across his face.

"I love you too, sweetheart." he mumbled affectionately as he wrapped his arms securely around his husband. As the two cuddled closer to one another, they both found themselves drifting off to sleep again.

"Hurry up, Toshi! Don't make me wait all day for breakfast!!" Izuku whined while stretching his arms. He was still half asleep, but was wide awake now. Toshinori laughed softly and kissed the top of the smaller male's head as he sat up and walked over to the wardrobe, picking out some clothes for the boys to wear. Once he was done dressing them both up, he walked back over to the bed and sat down on his knees in front of his fiancée's head, placing his hands on his shoulders, before leaning in to give him a passionate kiss. After a few moments of kissing, the shorter male broke away slightly to grab a piece of chocolate bread from the breakfast table, before returning the kiss and eating it. Toshinori watched as the boy ate, admiring how his eyes sparkled as he ate, and his lips curled upwards every once in a while. After they were done enjoying their breakfast and cleaning up, Toshinori carried Izuku bridal style and carried him to the bedroom.

Once they arrived in the room, Toshinori placed Izuku gently onto the mattress, before crawling up on top of him and pressing kisses all over his face while humming a random tune. The freckled male giggled at his actions and reached out to grab his husband's waist, pulling him even closer to himself so that he wouldn't fall. After a few minutes of loving each other for what seemed like forever, they eventually separated so that Izuku could get dressed and go to the bathroom before meeting his mother downstairs.

"Good morning, Izuku," she greeted cheerfully once he walked down into the kitchen. Izuku gave her a nod and sat at the dining room table as she served him food.

"Mornin'," he mumbled quietly. She glanced over at him in surprise, then chuckled lightly and handed him a plate.

"Didn't think you'd talk today," she commented, walking away from the table and grabbing her own plate and cup of coffee from the counter. After drinking her black coffee, she joined her sons at the dinner table, where she placed her plate in the middle and sat down next to Izuku. "How was your sleep?"

"It was fine," Izuku replied, starting to eat.

"You don't usually get nightmares last night, do you?"

"No. Why do you ask?"

"Well, last night you screamed in your sleep, so I figured you must've been having trouble sleeping again." She sighed softly and rubbed her temples. "
