The Epilogue Part One - Meeting His Mother

-two weeks after becoming a couple-

Mei was excited. Today she would be going to the home of Izuku's mother, at her request of course. From what she knew, Midoriya grew up with just the influence from his mother due to his father's busy job that required him to be out of the country.

'Probably why he cries so much…' Mei joked as she walked towards his boyfriend's mother's home, her boyfriend walking next to her with her hand in his. It seemed that, for once, Izuku wasn't nervous but instead excited. He hadn't been able to see his mother all too often between schoolwork and his internship with Sir Nighteye, so today must be a great day for him.

"Ah, Mei. We're here." Izuku stopped walking and pointed to a large apartment complex just across the road from them. It was a standard looking complex, three separate buildings which were all a few stories high and each containing around 10 apartments.

"This is it?" Mei joked, nudging him on the arm. "Which one of these is yours?"

"O-Oh, right. Follow me, I'll take you there." Midoriya said, softly taking a hold of Mei's hand once again and guiding her towards his apartment. He guided her across the road and up a long flight of stairs before reaching the apartment. It was one of the ones on the highest floor.

"Is this the one?" Mei asked, pointing to the door they were about to stop at.

"Yeah, this is it. I just want to warn you about something first, though." Midoriya said. He leaned in closer to Mei, holding his hand in front of the door as if someone is there. "My mother, she can get a bit… protective, sometimes. Try not to get on her bad side."

"Bad side…?" Mei asked hesitantly.

Midoriya, seeing her hesitance, was quick to reassure her. "Oh, don't worry though! I'm sure you and my mom will get along great! Seriously, she's really nice."

"But… what if your mom doesn't like me? Sure, you said she's a nice person and if she's anything like you then I'm sure she is, but what if I do somehow get on her bad side?" Mei asked. She realised that worrying over something like this was pointless, but she couldn't help it. Midoriya and Mei haven't been dating for very long, a lot of this was uncharted territory for both of them.

"It'll be fine, Mei. Just… act how you do normally." Midoriya advised, placing a hand on her shoulder in an attempt to comfort her.

"What if the way I normally act is bad?"

"Well, it got me to like you, so it can't be bad." Midoriya replied.

"Heh, you're a real charmer, you know?"

"I do my best. Now, let's go." Midoriya said as he turned away from Mei to knock on the door. As he did so, Mei could hear a little surprised shriek.

"Ah! C-Coming!" A feminine voice called from beyond the door. This person's footsteps could be heard getting louder and louder until the door opened. In front of the door was a short plump woman, only inches shorter than Midoriya was and a little taller than Mei was.

'This is Izuku's mother? They way he described her made her seem a bit more… intimidating…' Mei thought as she looked at the short woman, who was now tearing up at the sight of her son.

"Izuku! It's so good to see you! I'm glad you're able to take time off to see your dear mother!" Izuku's mother yelled as she wrapped her arms around her son.

"Haha, it's good to see you too Mom. Have you been alright, living on your own?" Midoriya asked.

"It's been pretty quiet and I'm slowly getting used to making enough food for just me, but I'm doing fine." Izuku's mother replied. "And you must be Hatsume Mei! My son's told me so much about you!"

Mei turned her head from Izuku's mother to Izuku himself, who was now sporting a small blush. "H-He has?"

"Of course he has! You're his girlfriend, after all! Ah, what am I saying? I haven't even introduced myself! I'm Midoriya Inko, it's nice to finally see you in person!" Inko said, holding her hand out for a handshake.

"Likewise, Mrs. Midoriya. Izuku seemed happy to visit." Mei commented, taking Inko's hand and shaking it modestly.

"Please, just call me Inko. Mrs. Midoriya makes me sound old!" Inko joked. "Please, come in!"

"Oh, thank you!" Mei said, taking off her shoes and walking into the apartment. It wasn't anything special. There was a small dining table with four seats around it, a small living room with a modest sized couch and TV. The hall connecting the front door to the rest of the house was decorated with pictures of their family, spanning from Inko's and Izuku's father's wedding picture to pictures of Izuku as a child. Incidentally, the only picture with Izuku's father in it was the wedding picture. Izuku had told her that he wasn't exactly in the picture, but she never knew it was for as long as it seemed.

"Please take a seat! I'll get you both some snacks and tea." Inko said as she rushed off to the kitchen.

"Let me help you Mom!" Izuku offered, moving towards the kitchen instead of the living room, where Mei currently sat. "And before you say no, I insist. I wanna catch up with you!"

Mei watched from the living room with a happy, content smile. It seemed that even at home, Izuku was more than willing to help others. She watched as Midoriya did simple things like helping his mother prepare food or reach into the cabinets that she couldn't, but she could tell that he was having fun.

"Oh Mei, sorry for leaving you out! I was just too preoccupied with catching up with my mom that I forgot to think about how bored you might be!" Izuku said apologetically, rushing from the kitchen to the living room (which was just a few meters).

"No no, it's okay Izuku. I'm okay just watching." Mei replied.

"Nonsense dear, you're my guest! It's my duty as a host to entertain you." Inko said firmly, leaving the kitchen also. "Izuku, why don't you finish making the food. I want to talk with Hatsume for a bit."

"Okay, sure. Don't do anything embarrassing please!" Izuku pleaded jokingly as he walked off.

Inko nodded at her son with a devilish smile before sitting down next to her son's girlfriend. "Oh my, I'm still so surprised that my son has a girlfriend, and a cute one at that! He hasn't always had so many friends.." Inko commented. "Seriously, you don't know how hard it's been to hold back my tears!"

'So he did get his crying habit from his mother…' Mei thought, listening to what Inko had to say.

"You see, Izuku was a late bloomer when it came to his quirk. For most of his life, he was considered… quirkless. Because of that, he didn't have too many friends.." Inko continued. "I've always been worried for my son ever since, even now. Even though he has so many friends who cherish him and a powerful quirk, I can't help but feel like that towards him. Which is why I have to ask, what are your intentions with my son?"

"M-My intentions?" Mei asked.

"Yes. Are you dating him because you love him, or for money, or are you with him so you can have kids with powerful quirks?" Inko asked, clearly concerned. "Izuku told me about those, I think he called them quirk marriages. They're awful!"

"W-What?! No, I would never date Izuku for that!" Mei quickly retorted. "I.. I love Izuku. That's the truth. Not only is he cute, but he's also very caring and affectionate, even if he's really nervous about it. There's no one else I'd rather be with." Mei looked at Inko, who was now sniffling and crying tears of joy.

"O-Oh, oh my. You're a r-real keeper, you know?" Inko said, smiling while tears streamed down her face. "I'm g-glad my Izuku chose to d-date you." Inko then leaned in and began to hug Mei. It wasn't anything special, just a small squeeze. Naturally, Mei hugged back.

"Hehe, thank you for giving us your permission." Mei joked.

The sounds of plates clinking together could be heard, and Mei looked up to see Izuku walking towards the dining table with a small plate of snacks. He quickly stopped as soon as he saw his mother. "Mom! You're crying, what's wrong?"

"No, nothing's wrong dear." Inko replied, wiping the tears from her eyes.

"Good, good. Now, let's eat!"

The Epilogue Part Two - Life After U.A High

-two years after graduating from U.A-

The years that followed Midoriya's graduation from U.A high were hectic indeed. Him and the rest of Class 1-A were known throughout Japan as the best heroes of their generation, some even managing to move on from internships and create their own Agency while still on Provisional Licenses. They all had a fairly high ranking in terms of popularity and effectiveness in the Hero community, and their lives have been great ever since.

Midoriya was the best of the bunch, naturally. In his second of being a U.A student, he was able to train his body to be able to use 45% of One For All and in his third year he was able to use 70%. He was one of the students who created his own Agency and rose high in the Hero ranks, all the way to 50th by the end of his third year. Everyone looked at him in awe, and believed he was the second All Might.

Now, he was within the Top 10 and could use 90% of One For all, making him more powerful that All Might during his golden age. He had one of the largest fan followings out of all the heroes and his merchandise was always sold out in all the stores. His Agency, simply named Deku's Hero Agency, already had over 40 heroes working there and he even had a few Heroes-In-Training wanting to work under him as interns. Not only that, but his hero work had earned him a lot of money so he was more than able to look after his mother and his own family.

Speaking of family, Midoriya and Mei got married a few months after they graduated. Their wedding wasn't anything too fancy, nor was it filled to the brim with people from all over Japan. Their wedding was fairly small and only their friends and family were invited. All of Class 1-A and 1-H were there, as well as their respective parents and some of their teachers too. They moved in together and lived a happy life.

Mei wasn't as successful as Midoriya was, naturally, but she was able to carve out a name for herself by selling her inventions to a prominent company. Once she had enough of that, Mei started her own company under the name of 'Hatsume's Babies' (she had kept her last name for safety. If villains were to find out Midoriya's real identity, having her last name also be Midoriya would cause a lot of trouble.) and her business rose to become one of the best. Not only that, but Midoriya made no secret that he used Mei's inventions on the field, so this attention brought her a lot of money from aspiring heroes.

And finally, Mei and Midoriya even had children. This sprouted from Midoriya's want for children after having to take care of Eri for a few months after her rescue and Mei's curiosity when she thought of making real babies instead of mechanical ones. This lead to Midoriya and Mei's two young twins, one male and one female. The male was named Toshi (in homage to All Might's real name, Toshinori), he had long banana-like locks like his mother, all of them bright green. His eyes were lime green in colour, almost exactly like a mixture of both his father's and mother's eye colours. The female was named Mikoto and her hair was more like Mina's, pink and curly. Her eye colour was similar to Toshi's. They were both 3 years old, and thus have not yet found what their quirks will be, or if they will have quirks at all.

In short, everything worked out for the two in the end. They made it through U.A High, one of the most prestigious and difficult hero schools in Japan, without a hitch, their relationship thrived throughout the years, and they even have kids to prove it. They were happy.

In the end, opposites really did attract.

-THE END-

A/N: There was a lot that I wanted for this epilogue, and a lot of it had to be cut away due to me not actually having the time to finish it and me being a right lazy cunt. I had hoped to do a part where Izuku meets Mei's parents, but that was sadly one of the ideas that I trashed. I know I talked about it quite a bit, so if you were looking forward to seeing it I'm sorry. Perhaps I'll make it its own one-shot, but that's an idea that's up for debate.

Anyways, here we are at the final Author Note for this story. Once again, I thank all of you for reading, favouriting, following and reviewing. The support I received from you guys, no matter how small, has really helped me with the creation of this story. And with that, we reach the true ending of Opposites Attract. I'll see you dudes later.
