Not as planned 1.5 - Katsuki and Eijiro von Puraido (A/B/O Verse) ================================================================================ Kapitel 2: Eijiro Kirishima: +1 Year ------------------------------------ As soon as Eijiro had the time, he met up with Tetsutetsu and Fat Gum; the pro hero had promised them, to help them out with opening up their own agency. Both Red Riot and Real Steel were already pretty popular heroes while they were working under Fat Gum; so Eijiro hoped they would have an easier start when opening up their own agency. The first couple of weeks were draining. They took every job they could get, to get the word out that they existed too. They would patrol the cities a lot, they had to deal with many cats in trees, many times they walked elderly people over the street, always smiling. They cleaned the streets too like Fourth Kind had them do it in their first year of UA. Eijiro didn’t have a problem with all that. The most draining stuff for him was all the paperwork. This goddamn paperwork after every ‘mission’. Luckily, Fat Gum called them, every time he had a bigger job to do. They got good publicity because of that. Eijiro was very thankful for that. Eventually, Mina asked them, if she could join them too. She’d rather work with them than her latest workplace, her boss was a prick. Eijiro and Tetsutetsu were happy to have her. It was very strange not to be in school anymore, Eijiro had gotten an apartment, together with Tetsutetsu and Mina. From time to time, Eijiro’s girlfriend came over too. They had met on a mission, he had saved her and since then they had messaged each other regularly. Her name was Hitomi Yomukawa, she was an omega and she had the quirk Mind Reader, she could read the minds of every person around her, in a certain radius, but only the ones that they were currently thinking. It was a bit strange for Eijiro at first since she couldn’t turn it off but he managed somehow. He was absolutely whipped with her. She of course knew what an effect she had on him, and she used this shamelessly – in a playful way. She became quick friends with Mina and Tetsutetsu too and she moved in permanently with them. She was a fashion designer and two years older than Eijiro. She used her quirk to get a clearer picture of her client's wishes. She sometimes made new clothes for Mina. Mina absolutely adored Hitomi, and of course, the fact that she would sometimes get free clothing. She was happy for Eijiro, that he had found someone that could make him happy. Eijiro met up with Katsuki regularly for more counseling. He couldn’t deny it, the more Katsuki transitioned to alpha, the easier it was for him, to forget his feelings. And of course, the fact that he had a girlfriend now that he loved very much, helped him too. They were sitting together one day in the summer on Eijiro’s balcony. “How’s it going, Katsuki? You look good” Eijiro complimented. He didn’t lie, Katsuki looked really good as an alpha. He had noticed the growth spurt already. “I’m feeling great, thanks! I’m finally feeling like myself again.” Katsuki drank from the limo. “And you? How’s your agency going?” “Slow, but I knew that it wouldn’t be easy, luckily Fat Gum supports us as good as he can” Eijiro grinned. “I noticed you, Tetsutetsu and Mina got new hero costumes?” “Yeah! We do! My girlfriend Hitomi made them, she’s great!” Eijiro beamed. “Really? How’s she like? I never met her” Katsuki mumbled. “Oh, she is absolutely amazing! She’s such a nice person and she offered to make us the hero costumes for free but no way I could accept that.” He was so caught in his thoughts about his girlfriend, that he didn’t notice Katsuki’s sad expression. “Hey, she comes home at six, if you want to wait, you could meet her and I can introduce you,” Eijiro said. “Oh, y-yeah, sure sounds good!” Katsuki smiled a little. Six pm came and Hitomi arrived at the apartment. “Hey, babe!” she greeted and walked over to Eijiro to kiss and hug him. «Katsuki wants to meet you, he helped with the dinner» “Oh, that is really nice of him.” Eijiro smiled and kissed her once more. «But be warned, I don’t really know how he will react. He and I dated briefly in school and our relationship had ups and downs because of that. He might be still jealous, I don’t know how it is for him right now» Eijiro warned her in his thoughts. Hitomi nodded. They entered the kitchen and Katsuki was in it – Mina and Tetsutetsu were still working. “Hey, I am Hitomi Yomukawa” She walked over and reached out to him. “Hi, I’m Katsuki Bakugo, nice to meet you” «Damn, she looks good, no wonder Eijiro likes her.» Katsuki grabbed her hand and shook it quickly. Hitomi had black, straight hair, grey eyes, and smooth skin, she was slim and the outfit she wore complimented her figure. “You and Eiji made dinner?” She asked. “Uh, yeah, we did” «I hope I didn’t make it too spicy, what if she doesn’t like it? God damn, why does she have to look so good? No, stop! Stop that, Katsuki!» “Perfect, I’m starving!” Eijiro pulled the chair out so that Hitomi could sit. She thanked him, Katsuki was serving the food in the meantime. «She’s ways better than you could ever be, dammit you are over him for months now! She’s better for him!» Hitomi smiled to cover up the awkwardness that Katsuki’s thoughts caused for her. They sat down and started to eat. “So, Katsuki – is it okay, if I call you Katsuki?” she asked. “Oh, yeah, yeah! No problem!” He smiled. «Goddammit, the way she eats is perfect too! No wonder, she must be perfect to be good enough for Eijiro … that’s why it’s her, and not me! Fucking stop!» “Perfect, you can call me Hitomi. I heard you run with the Moruga Agency?” she questioned. “Yeah, I do, oh, and I am not Moruga’s sidekick like every reporter says. I’m a pro hero too!” He growled a little. «This is so annoying, seriously, they should get their facts straight!» “Oh, it can be hard in the beginning, but I’m sure you will convince the public that you are not just a sidekick” she smiled. «Damn right! God, she’s so nice, how can I be mad? It’s not her fault I fucked up so badly. No, she’s really nice! She’s perfect!» “Damn, right, I will show them!” He grinned. “Do you know the guys from the agency?” “Actually yes. Kuroko’s older brother is my boss, over him I met Kuroko. I have to say, she makes some marvelous designs. If she ever retires as a hero, she will have a great career as a fashion designer!” Hitomi smiled. “Huh, never thought Kuroko is someone for fashion …” «Really? Kuroko and fashion? She always dresses the same … I didn’t know that she had a brother that is a fashion designer …» “So, you are a fashion designer, what do you like to design the most?” Katsuki asked. Eijiro watched the two while eating, he was glad that it went so well. “Oh, I love to design dresses. Shirts and pants are nice too, but those long extravagant dresses are my absolute favorite, with long trains and all. Or Baroque dresses, I’d love to design more of those! But it’s unfortunately not an everyday dress. I sometimes design dresses for movies or theatre, so I am happy when I get the chance to go all out.” She rambled. “And western-style wedding dresses!” «God, you are so cute when you talk about fashion, I love you,» Eijiro said in his thoughts. «She really loves fashion, she’s enthusiastic when she talks about it … Her rambling reminds me of Deku … oh, fucking hell, stop, stop, stop! Don’t think about Deku!» “That sounds absolutely fantastic. It’s important to do things with passion” he smiled. «Does she like the food? Is it too hot?» he wondered. “Thanks, yeah it is” She smiled. “By the way, the food is delicious! You are a great cook, Eijiro praised your food before but I couldn’t believe it.” «He did?! He praised my food?» Katsuki slightly blushed. “Thank you, glad to hear that!” Eijiro smiled. «Thanks, he was so nervous about the food. Almost adorable.» Hitomi smiled too. The dinner went on and Katsuki’s thoughts were sometimes wild, he constantly tried to reassure himself that Hitomi was better for Eijiro than he ever was. On the outside, Katsuki was perfectly friendly towards her. It got really late and after a while, Katsuki announced that he had to go now. He had to work tomorrow after all. They said their goodbyes and he left. What Eijiro and Hitomi didn’t know was, that Katsuki would lay awake the whole night, trying to get his upset omega under control. He snapped back into old habits, because of his jealousy, and his alpha wasn’t strong enough to hold himself back. “I hope his thoughts weren’t too overwhelming” Eijiro sat in the bathtub, Hitomi leaned against his chest with her back. “He seems a bit insecure. He constantly tried to tell himself how good I am and that’s why I deserve you more than he does.” Eijiro groaned. “Damn, I wish he finds someone that can take his mind off of me …” he mumbled. “Who was Deku?” Hitomi turned her head slightly. Eijiro hadn’t mentioned Deku or the messed-up poly relationship before. “Phew, uh, Deku and I dated Katsuki … or at least we tried. Deku became my rival after a quirk accident and … well we could never really stop the rivalry …” He thought about what had happened, it was easier than telling her. Hitomi listened to him. “Huh … that was messed up …” she mumbled. “We were just too young. With no experience …” Hitomi nodded and then she leaned forward so that Eijiro could wash her back. Mina, Tetsutetsu, and Eijiro sat together in their office. They reviewed a few cases that involved Trigger, but with different components than ever before. “What do you think? Where does it come from this time?” Mina asked. “The source is unclear” Tetsutetsu mumbled, he flipped through the files, there were gruesome pictures of criminals who had overdosed on this Trigger. Their mouths were violently deformed into horrific smiles. “But one thing these criminals have in common is they overdosed pretty quickly, and they all have these deformed smiles on their faces. The effect of the drug is higher, but it is also more deadly” he gave the file to Mina and she cringed when she saw the pictures. “Damn … who does this?” she wondered. “That’s the one million dollar question” Eijiro mumbled. He threw a stress ball against the wall and caught it, he repeated the action over and over. “Did Taishiro say something specific about the drug? I mean there must be a different component, a couple of years ago, they didn’t make these faces while using Trigger” Mina saw a female villain with this smile. “There is not much changed from the original compound” Tetsutetsu mumbled. “Only one thing is different, they have found one unknown substance. They haven’t analyzed it, as of yet.” “Do you think it’s from a quirk? Like Overhaul did with Eri?” Eijiro asked. “Could be, but it’s not like blood or skin cells,” Tetsutetsu murmured. “Then maybe a … I don’t know, KO Gas quirk?” Eijiro suggested. “It’s a possibility” Mina sighed and looked up when the phone rang. She picked up, it was Fat Gum. She talked to him and a few seconds later the call was over. “Guys, we have a job, more people were found.” With that they got ready and they made their way over to the site. They were in a rundown factory. Fat Gum and Suneater were here too, as well as lots of policemen. “What’s the situation?” Red Riot asked Tsukauchi. “We found seven suspects from a small criminal organization. They were all strapped on chairs and seemingly tortured. I can’t even begin to imagine what they went through … And in the end, they got the same unknown substance we found in the new Trigger, except, it’s only this substance, no trigger was found in their systems whatsoever.” He brought them over the scene. Mina gritted her teeth when she saw the victims. They were brutally mutilated, and those ‘smiles’ … “Who does this?” she murmured. “We don’t know yet. But we dubbed the killer ‘Smile’. But we guess that there are at least two people involved. To take out seven criminals, three of them alphas is not a small feat.” Tsukauchi explained. “Hey, Fat, have you seen something like this before?” Real Steel asked. “No, absolutely not” Fat Gum answered. “That’s one of the worst cases in my entire career” he growled. “What’s behind that?” Mina questioned. “My guess is a gang war. Those people are drug lords from the Tojo Gang. Probably pissed off the wrong guy and ended up in this mess” Fat Gum explained. “What is with the smiles?” Eijiro sounded frustrated. “That, we don’t know yet” Tsukauchi answered. “But we will keep our eyes and ears open in the hopes to find more clues.” Rather frustrated they went back to their office. Eijiro could understand Katsuki’s frustrations with the Agents of Khaoz now, to witness crimes, unable to solve them was really a shitty feeling. People died and they couldn’t even intervene. Hitomi tried to cheer him up, but nothing she said could make the feeling better. The months passed with no more clues, but more bodies. Those individuals were victims of Trigger X – as it was dubbed now. Murders without Trigger X but with the smiles didn’t occur after that. They got bigger jobs that had priority, that kept their minds off of the Trigger X cases. A few times they teamed up with the Moruga Agency too. He was impressed by how well Katsuki and Michiko worked together. Christmas came around and Hitomi celebrated it with Eijiro this time. It was a very fun time, Eijiro’s brother Takumi was very excited to show her his presents. His parents liked Hitomi too. They had a really good time and at least for a short while he could forget the gruesome acts of violence he witnessed almost every day now. Hitomi’s heat was in the week around New Year, it was the first time they heat shared. Hitomi wasn’t much for sex and neither was Eijiro but this time, she wished for it. It was a first for Eijiro too, and it was absolutely amazing. His rut was eventually triggered by her heat, and the rest of what happened was unclear to him since he wasn’t lucid for most of the time. But from what he remembered, it was a great time. Hitomi had worn a collar to prevent unwanted mating, she said that she wouldn’t mate someone within the first year of knowing this person, and Eijiro completely understood that. He wasn’t ready to mate someone anyway. The heat ended right around midnight and they sat in front of the panorama window, cuddled up in blankets, Hitomi was in Eijiro’s lap and leaned against him. “The fireworks are so pretty” she mumbled. “But you’re even prettier” Eijiro hugged her tighter and pressed kisses against her cheek. “I love you.” “And I love you too” she returned. She saw the pure adoration he had for her in his mind, and she was almost overwhelmed. She was lucky to have someone so pure as Eijiro by her side … Hosted by Animexx e.V. (http://www.animexx.de)
