Work Text:
It was class 3 A's final day in school. they'd studied heroism for 3 years, became the perfect heroes. sure they'd lost a member of the original crew (though most were glad to be rid of him) and gained another in return. sure they'd seen things they should never have had to. sure they'd been hurt, been discouraged, but Eraserhead always kept them on track.
they'd stayed in the dorms for their final 2 and a half years. learning about Aizawa's many secrets, such as his love for cats, his incredible ability to braid and style hair (the girls definitely didn't take advantage of his soft spot for them and ask him to do their hair at least twice a week), his husband Yamada (who thought he was subtle when he snuck around, impersonating a spy), he knew how to sign (which he quietly began to do in class once he found out Bakugou was losing his hearing).
over all, Aizawa was the perfect teacher to look after them, he knew how to remove Shouto from his abusive household without endangering his siblings, he helped Izuku with the bone breaking, Bakugou with the loss of hearing and the anger issues, he prevented them from being forced into dangerous situations whilst keeping the lessons hard so they were constantly improving, he had them all go to counseling, forcing everyone to go to at least one session a month, though some went more often.
Bakugou had learnt to control his anger, he grew to be more observant. he was the first to know about present mic and eraserheads relationship and didn't tell anyone, simply nodding at the voice hero as he left when nobody was looking and letting him in when Aizawa forgot to leave the door open. in return the voice hero helped him with his hearing loss, teaching him to sign more confidently and to lip read. Kirishima and Bakugou began to date in the summer between first and second year. to anyone who didnt know they didn't look like a couple, the most affection anyone would see is Kirishima leaning on Bakugou's shoulder or dragging him away when he could tell the blonde was getting angry. Kirishima had learnt quickly that his quirk was very handy when it came to Bakugou's temper and often he'd be the only one able to remove the blonde without a scrape or blast thrown at them.
Izuku had Improved massively with his quirk. one for all no longer broke his limbs, he had hundreds of attacks and most agency's wanted him to work for them. he'd decided to stay at The Nighteye Agency with mirio. after nighteye's death mirio took over, the agency was more successful than previously and Izuku enjoyed working there. Todoroki had joined him, leaving the The endeavor agency as soon as he'd been removed from the todoroki household, and joining The Nighteye Agency as soon as he was deemed fit to do so. Izuku and Shouto took a while to get together. Izuku was too anxious to make a move and Shouto was adamant he'd just ruin their friendship. eventually BakuSquad had locked them in a cupboard saying they couldn't leave until they confessed their feelings, it had worked though so neither boy complained.
Shinsou and Denki had gotten together after a complicated string of flirting and dates that neither of them realised where dates until someone (usually mina or kirishima with denki and Izuku or Shouto with Shinsou). neither realised they were flirting (even though denki would use a pick up line as a greeting and shinsou would wink or smirk whilst leaving soft touches on his hand or shoulder if he was close enough). so when both Bakusquad and DekuSquad teamed up to force them to confess they were... confused to say
the least. However once the confusion passed they simply spent a few days watching movies and playing games in Denki's room.
Eri had settled in with Aizawa and Hizashi well, they'd adopted her and shinsou as well as a few cats and had a small apartment in between Aizawa and Hizashi's homeroom classes dorms. it was built just before Izuku had started second year because of the extra needs they needed with Eri and shinsou being in their care. Shinsou spent most of his time in the dorms, either in his room or Denki's. when Aizawa and Hizashi found out about their relationship they'd had mixed reactions. Hizashi had buzzed around, declaring that he must be brought over for tea and that they must meet him immediately. Aizawa simply shook his head and rolled his eyes mumbling about loud blondes. Eri had gone to a normal school for a while, but the ongoing pressure that Eri could be in danger due to the League villains meant that they chose to have her homeschooled. she was progressing rapidly, although she was still shy around most people. the family spent most days in the dorms, Eri spending time with Izuku whilst the adults simply made sure there were no fires.
Over all Izuku was ready to begin his future as a hero. he was going to miss his time at UA. he'd been asked, as well as the other two members of the top three, to present a speech at their graduation. and as he stood besides katsuki and shouto, he'd never been more certain of a simple detail. he wouldn't have been standing there had it not have been for Class 1A.
Izuku stood up on the podium, Aizawa had decided to make him read the majority of the speech, knowing Shouto wouldn't know what to say and Katsuki would likely blow something up or turn it into a threat.
"so here we are. Aizawa made me prepare a speech so you'd get one and there'd be no explosions. so here it is i guess. When we started at UA we barely knew who we were. We all shared one common goal however, to become the best heroes we could be. though we had different skill sets and reasonings we were not prepared for what was out there. in first year we got attacked like five times. in second year slightly less. and surprisingly only once this year. we took on villains most heroes couldn't and improved faster than we should have. but here we are. we've lost and gained some members (he covered a thankfully with a cough causing everyone to laugh) and i'm certain that we will become the best heroes the world has ever seen! PLUS ULTRA"
he stepped back standing by the other two hearing two separate comments of "im proud of you" and "told you you could do it nerd"
he was going to miss this, they were all going to miss UA.
