Good day, Heroes, and Happy Easter! Rio here to welcome you all to my newest and biggest (in terms of chapters) project to date: My Hero Academia: Domestic Heroes! This here is a project that I've been planning on for a while, and it was only recently that I had enough time to finally get it ready. This is the beginning of a 30 day challenge fic that I've decided to participate in, with the theme for it being Domestic Fluff, which I found over at tumblr. There hasn't been a lot of challenge fics for My Hero Academia, so I figured I'd take a crack at it, and who better to use for this particular challenge than the fluffiest pair in the series. I also decided to add a little twist to this challenge as well, one that I hope will go well with everyone. Also, this is an au set after canon, so spoilers will be present. With that said, enjoy the new story, everyone, and I will see you in the author's notes!

My Hero Academia: Domestic Heroes

Heroes at Home

She was at peace. She was comfortable. She was happy. After a few long weeks of paperwork, patrols, and, of course, villain attacks, Ochako Uraraka was finally able to unwind from it all. It was stressful, not only to her, but for her partner as well, and was happy to finally get a bit of a break from everything. Normally they would find something to do out of their apartment, like lunch or a movie, but both agreed to just have a lazy day to themselves at home. That suited the young zero-gravity heroine just fine, and as soon as she had the opportunity, she went straight to her room after breakfast, being accompanied by a certain green-haired sweetheart, and proceeded to take a long, well deserve nap. She was slowly starting to awaken from her brief slumber, yet she wasn't really disappointed by that. In fact, she was actually quite happy to have woken up when she did, for the first thing she saw as she opened her eyes was the serene form of her dozing boyfriend's face before her own. He looked so exhausted the lately and she was more than grateful to see him finally relaxed.

He's so cute when he's asleep like this. Even after being with him for a few years, he still manages to find a way to be adorable without even trying. How in the world did I get so lucky to be with you, Deku? Ochako thought to herself, a sappy smile on her face as she placed a gloved hand on her long-time friend and lover, being careful not to disturb his peaceful rest.

It's been a few years since the two had first entered the halls of U.A, and now they, and the rest of their class, had graduated from the prestigious academy barely a couple years ago, with the pair living on their own in an apartment in Tokyo ever since. They were on the fast track towards heroism, and were currently working as sidekicks at different agencies, though they do work together from time to time. Every one of their former classmates, including her, and especially Izuku Midoriya, had improved greatly since the beginning, and were more than ready to make villains cower in their wake. However, making the enemies of society quiver at their presence was currently on hold for now. It was their day off, their first one in while, and she wasn't giving it up without a fight. The two of them were busy non-stop and had pushed themselves to near exhaustion in order to round up all the villains that've been popping up. They needed their rest, and she was going to make sure both of them take advantage of their free time.

"Mmm… So glad we have the day off. Don't really have much of a chance to relax like this anymore… This is nice…" Ochako muttered to herself, snuggling deeper into Izuku's chest and humming happily as he tightened his hold on her. Both were in their normal loungewear; her in a black tanktop and pink short shorts and him in a white tee-shirt and green shorts, and were happily enjoying each other's company while they napped. As soon as she felt herself starting to doze off once more, she heard the sound of vibrating coming from one of her dressers. Curious, she carefully turned her body around to the source of the sound, becoming more awake when she realized that it was her phone going off.

…Wonder who that could be? If it was Eri, she would've knocked, and Mikan would've just nudge the door open. She wondered as she reluctantly removed herself from her boyfriend's hold and got up from her bed, letting off a curious hum when she heard him groaning slightly in displeasure.

"…Ochako? Everything ok?" Izuku muttered, his eyes slowly opening to look up at her, causing a tiny smile to form on her face. Even exhausted he was concerned for her. He was too sweet for his own good sometimes.

"Its nothing. Just getting a call from someone. I'll be with you in a bit." She assured, getting a soft grunt in return, and proceeded to grab her new smartphone, a gift from Momo on her last birthday, from the dresser. Looking at the caller I.D., it took her a moment to realize who was calling her, and once she did, a happy gasp escaped her lips, further waking Izuku up in the process. Elation removing the remnants of her tiredness, she pressed the speaker button and made her way back to the bed, sitting on it just as Izuku sat himself up while looking at her in confusion.

{Hey, there, honey! How's my favorite little hero doing today?}

"Daddy!" Ochako chirped, happy to hear her father again after so long. He and her mother, along with Izuku's mother Inko, had visited them a few weeks ago to say hi, and she had enjoyed their company immensely. It was always a pleasure whenever their parents visit, and they got along so well with their other houseguests as well.

"Ah… Well that woke me up… You and your dad are always pretty loud when your excited." Izuku muttered with a small smile as he shifted around the bed to sit beside the gleeful woman. He was teasing her, a rare thing for him to do, but she couldn't help but give him a playful shove for his words.

{That your boy I hear? I wasn't interrupting anything, was I? I know how kids like you get at that age. Can't tell ya how many times I was like that with your mother.} The elder Uraraka laughed, his voice loud that Izuku was able to hear it even without the speaker on, and his words causing the couple to blush furiously at his implication.

"D-D-Daddy!" She cried, greatly embarrassed by her father's words, and letting off a groan when she started to hear him laugh.

{Relax, honey. I'm just messing with ya. Your reactions are too adorable sometimes! Especially yours, ya know!} The older man teased, causing the girl to groan at her father's statement, covering her face with a hand while her boyfriend looked back at her thoughtfully after partially willing his embarrassment down.

"…Well he's not wrong. You are pretty cute when you're embarrassed." Izuku admitted, laughing sheepishly when he was given the patented Uraraka Death Stare from his girlfriend.

"Shut it, Deku. You have no room to talk. You get flustered easier than I do. And I, on good record, know that you are also super cute when you're embarrassed. Just ask Eri." She countered, smirking victoriously at the defeated expression on his face.

{Well, now. Guess I know who wears the pants in this relationship. Good on ya, hon!} Uraraka exclaimed proudly, causing a massive smile to form on his daughter's face while Izuku took the comment in stride with a simple resigned sigh. {Anyway, I just wanted to check in on ya. I noticed that things have been pretty hectic over where yer at, and I just had to make sure you were ok.}

"Oh, you know about the rise of villain attacks around our area?" Ochako asked, surprised that her father was aware about the situation she and the others were in until recently.

"Hmm… It's not all that surprising. The news has been covering the incidents non-stop, so it would make sense that the other regions were made aware of everything in order to be prepared. The situation's calmed down, but who knows how long it will last. We might end up doing more patrols as a result as well. Not sure how it will affect our workload at our agencies, but I think the other heroes have a contingency plan for that. Maybe they'll…"

"Aaaand there he goes. You just had to get him started, didn't ya, Daddy…" Ochako grumbled, giving her now mumbling man a fond, yet exasperated stare.

{Sorry, Ochako. Didn't mean to set him off like that. Still find it a little strange how he can go into tangents like that, but hey, he's still a good kid. Even if he is an oddball at times.} Her father apologized in a sheepish fashion, causing her to laugh. She knew he meant well. Her parents and her boyfriend got along very well, and it never failed to make her happy to hear either of her folks talk about Izuku in a positive light.

"Yeah, he's and oddball, but he's my oddball. And don't worry, I know how to end his muttering sprees in a heartbeat." Ochako assured, a small, mischievous smile forming on her face as he stared at the human mumble storm beside her. Being discrete as she could, an easy feat with how distracted he was, the girl reached a hand over to Izuku's head, turned it towards her, and proceeded to silence his words with her own lips in a soft, sweet kiss. She felt him gasp in surprise before ending it, and grinned victoriously at the stunned expression on his face. "Well…looks like I still got it."

{Ya kissed him to shut him up, didn't ya? You're becoming more and more like your mother with each passing day.} Uraraka laughed, causing a giggle to erupt from Ochako. {Well, I best be off now, honey. Lunch break's nearly done, and I need to get back to the project we're on. If this goes well, we'll be set for a good couple months! Stay safe and keep up the amazing work!}

"I will, Daddy, and good luck on the project! Tell Momma I said I, too!" Ochako said happily, proud of her father for managing to find a good job for his company.

"*ahem* Um… Good luck on your job, Mr. Uraraka. I hope that it becomes successful, too." Izuku spoke up after a moment, finally out of his kiss-induced stupor to give his girlfriend's father a proper farewell, which got him a smile of approval from her.

{Thanks, son. That means a lot. Take care of my little girl, ok! She sweet, but she's feisty, so keep on supporting her, alright!}

"Of course, sir! I will be by her side for as long as she wants!" Izuku exclaimed fiercely, even going so far as to salute the phone, causing Ochako to giggle at both his actions and how sweet he was being, even if it was unintentional.

He's just too much, sometimes. Not that I'm complaining. I love it when he gets so dedicated like this…so long as he doesn't go overboard. Ochako thought as she ended the call, placing the phone in her pocket before stepping off the bed and stretched a little, talking off her gloves in the process, and letting off a soft hum when she felt her bones pop a little. "Ah… That felt good. Really happy that Daddy called, too. It was a good surprise, don't you think."

"Yeah, it was. I like talking to him and your mom. They're really nice people." Izuku agreed as he also removed himself from the bed and stretched himself. "Well, now that our nap's over, want to head downstairs to grab a bite? Eri should be up by now and odds are Mikan's wanting some food, too."

"Sure thing. And I know exactly what to make for us, today, so let me do the cooking. Ok?" Ochako insisted, getting a smile and nod in response. Satisfied, she grabbed his hand and proceeded to leave her room with him, ready to enjoy a nice meal with him. It didn't take them long to reach the kitchen, their apartment was not all that big, and once they reached their destination, they were greeted with the most adorable sight imaginable

Laying down on the couch was a young girl that looked no older than twelve, sleeping quietly with a dark blue, star-covered blanket over her. The little one had long white hair and a small horn protruding on the right side of her temple, had a little bit of drool leaking from her mouth, and was holding a large whale plushie in her scarred arms. Beside the girl, on top of the couch, laid an orange tabby that looked a little roughed up; it's face and parts of its body covered in scratches, and the tip of its right ear missing. Despite their rough appearances, the child and cat were both very content, and the two young adults couldn't help but smile widely at them.

"This is so adorable… I have to take a picture of this…" Ochako cooed quietly, not wanting to wake the pair up, and reached into her pocket to bring out her phone.

"Send them to Mom and your parents when you're done. And Togata, too. They'd love to see Eri like this, even if it might embarrass her later." Izuku suggested, waiting patiently for her to finish.

After taking a few photos, Ochako turned to her boyfriend and gave him a nod, allowing him to go over to the girl to wake her up for lunch while she headed towards the kitchen to get the food ready, grabbing a pink apron that was hanging on the side in the process. She knew exactly what to make, and she was more than grateful that Inko gave her the recipe for it. It was Izuku's favorite, and quickly becoming Eri's as well, and she couldn't wait to get started.

"…Chako? Are you making lunch?" A soft voice spoke up, bringing a massive smile to her face. Turning around, she was greeted by the sight of her charge looking up at her with her big red eyes, clad in a simple dark blue dress that reached her knees, with Izuku standing right behind her and the orange cat trotting along with a slight limp on it's left foreleg.

"Yup. Making some katsudon for all of us. It's mine and Deku's day off, after all, so I figured I'd make something special for all of us." Ochako confirmed, her smile turning to a grin when she saw the little girl practically light up in anticipation.

"Sounds great! I'll help you in a bit. Got to go feed Mikan really quick." Izuku said to her. She nodded in response, and watched as he lowered himself to Eri's level and pat her head. "Want to come with me? You can get Mikan's food ready, if you want. And you can give him some treats, too. Just not too much, or he'll won't finish his own lunch. Ok?"

"Ok, Deku." Eri nodded, reaching up to grab Izuku's hand and followed him out of the room with the cat in tow.

Ochako couldn't help the loving sigh that escape her lips as she watched them go. When she and Izuku first moved in together, they weren't expecting to end up as guardians to the scared, wounded little girl that they and their classmates bonded over back at their first year of high school, but when she and Izuku were offered the chance to take her in by their former instructor Aizawa, they were immediately on board, especially Izuku. It had been six months since then, and not once did they regret their decision. She was just so precious to them, and there was no way they were going to leave her alone if they could help it. With that in mind, a determined expression formed on her face, and she turned her attention back to the kitchen with her hands on her hip, ready to get to work.

"Ok, time to make the best tasting katsudon ever created! It'll be so delicious, those two won't know what hit 'em!"
