Chapter Text
Kenji woke up in his bunk bed to Katsuki hovering above him.
“Kenji! Wake up! It’s our birthday!”
“What?! It is?!” Kenji shot up, and scrambled out of bed, scurrying down the stairs, with Katsuki following swiftly behind. Today was the day of their fourth birthday, the day they would receive their own quirks!
Mitsuki was already in the kitchen, preparing breakfast.
“Well well, look at you two hooligans! You almost gave me a heart attack when you stampeded down the stairs just now!”
“Oops! Sorry, Mom!” Kenji apologized, though his smile only widened at the pile of presents in the living room.
“Presents!” Katsuki cheered.
“And that’s not even all of them!” Masaru smiled as he entered the room. “Auntie Inko and Izuku are coming over later today with a few.”
“Awesome!” The twins said in unison.
After a hastily downed breakfast, Kenji and Katsuki were sent outside to play while they waited for their best friend Izuku.
“What do you think your quirk’s gonna be?” Kenji asked his brother.
“I hope it’s something awesome, so I can be a super cool hero!”
Kenji smiled.
“Me too, Katsuki! I hope we can be heroes all together! You, me, and Izuku!”
“Yeah! We’ll be called the Justice Trio-WHOA!”
Katsuki slipped and slid down the slide.
“Careful, bro! You don’t want to find out what your quirk is while you’re in the hospital.”
Katsuki smiled and flexed a tiny arm.
“It’ll take more than a slippery slide to take down the great Katsuki Bakugo!”
Both brothers laughed, and continued playing, and fantasizing about their hero careers until Mitsuki called them in.
“Boys! Come in, Auntie Inko and Izuku are here!”
“Yay!” Both boys cheered. The ran inside, and were not disappointed when their best friend Izuku Midoriya was there to greet them.
“Hey guys! Happy birthday!”
“Happy birthday to you too!” Both twins said.
“Inko, the presents can go just over there in the main room.” Mitsuki pointed to the room where the other presents for the three boys were stacked. Inko nodded, and walked over to set the presents down, then turned around and hugged Mitsuki. Mitsuki squeezed her tightly, causing Inko to wheeze.
“It’s good to see you again, Mitsuki.” Inko mumbled into Mitsuki’s shoulder. “But you can let up a little”
“Oh! I’m so sorry.” Mitsuki apologized and released the smaller woman from her bear hug.
“Honey, it looks like our kids and Izuku are ready for their presents.” Masaru called from the living room. Mitsuki nodded and led Inko to one of the couches. Masaru held up a video camera and started recording.
“Ok boys, pick out a present and open it!”
Each of the boys grabbed the biggest present with their name on it and ripped open the wrapping paper.
Kenji gasped.
Izuku almost fainted.
Katsuki shrieked in disbelief. “THE BRAND NEW LIMITED EDITION ALL MIGHT FIGURINES?! FULL SET?!”
Mitsuki laughed. “Yes boys. For your fourth birthday, we thought we’d get you something nice for you to enjoy.”
“Awesome!” Kenji opened the first toy and pulled the string on All Might’s back.
“No need to fear! Why? Because I am here!” The toy said in a tinny voice.
Izuku still hadn’t uttered a word. He was completely flabbergasted by the toys.
Katsuki grinned. “I seriously have the best mom ever.”
Mitsuki smiled and patted her twin boys on the head.
“Aww, you boys flatter me too much. Ok. Go play with your toys in your room, while us grown ups have a chat.”
The trio nodded and scurried to Kenji and Katsuki’s room.
“So, have you thought about what kind of quirk you’re gonna get?” Kenji asked Izuku.
“I don’t know, but I hope it’s something I can use to be a great hero!” Izuku said happily, as he sat down in a beanbag.
“Me too.” Kenji said.
“I just know we’re gonna be the best heroes ever! No one will be able to stop the Justice Trio!” Katsuki stood up and planted his fists on his hips in the classic All Might pose, and grinned just like him.
“We’ll be able to tell everyone that “We are Here!” And people will love us!”
Kenji and Izuku clapped and cheered.
After a few hours, Inko called the boys back into the living room to open the rest of the presents. It was mostly All Might merchandise, but a few other things, like new books, and some preschool supplies were also there.
“I wouldn’t know for sure…” Mitsuki said as she looked at the three friends playing together. “But I think they like their presents.”
“Whatever gave you that idea?” Masaru chuckled. “The fact that Izuku hasn’t put down that All Might figurine since he opened it or the fact that they nearly made my eardrums explode when they got those hoodies?”
Both Inko and Mitsuki laughed.
“They’re all gonna grow up to be incredible heroes, I just know it.” Inko smiled fondly as she watched Izuku talking about his new Hero Encyclopedia with Kenji.
Mitsuki smiled and wrapped an arm around her lifelong friend. “I sure hope so, Inky, I sure hope so.”
After a few more hours of play, it was time for the birthday dinner. There was lots of katsudon, the boys’ favorite, and Mitsuki managed to get a hold of some American cream soda for the boys to try.
“Wait! There’s one more thing!” Masaru grinned smugly.
“Ugh, Dad, don’t…” Katsuki started, but it was too late.
“Happy Happy Birthday, from all of us to you! We wish it was our birthday, so we could party too, oh!” Masaru sang in a dorky voice, eliciting a laugh from Izuku and a groan reminiscent of a dying goat from Katsuki and Kenji. Katsuki rolled his eyes as he grabbed a can of cream soda. “You know, you’re really embarrassing when my friends are…”
BANG!!
The can exploded in Katsuki’s hand, making Inko and Mitsuki scream and hurriedly rush to the boys’ side, checking them for injuries. Katsuki looked down at his hand, which was smoking. He twitched his hand a few times, and each time, a small explosion went off in his palm.
“Is this…?” Katsuki started.
“Your quirk!!” Kenji and Izuku cheered. “You got it!”
Inko looked shocked, while Mitsuki and Masaru were looking at their older son with astonishment, and a hint of pride.
“Well, there ya go, Kiddo!” Masaru patted his son on the back. “You got yourself a pretty neat quirk!”
Katsuki stared down at his hands, a smile creeping up.
“That’s… so cool.” He smirked.
“SO COOL!”
Kenji and Izuku watched their friend celebrate the arrival of his quirk, happy that he was on the road to achieving his dream.
“Now we just have to see what you two get!” Katsuki looked up at his brother and friend.
Kenji and Izuku smiled and nodded. “Yep! We’re all gonna have great quirks and be awesome heroes” Izuku said as he raised his fist.
Kenji and Katsuki copied him.
“Because WE ARE HERE!”
