Not as planned 1.5 - Katsuki and Eijiro von Puraido (A/B/O Verse) ================================================================================ Kapitel 12: Eijiro Kirishima: +5 Years (+Izuku) ----------------------------------------------- Eijiro was still sleeping, it was the third week of January and he came home from a very hard night job. But his sleep was disturbed by Mae, Mina had let her in after she knocked on the door constantly. She shook Eijiro awake. “Hey, Eijiro! C’mon, wake up. It’s urgent!” Grumbling, Eijiro opened his eyes, he yawned and rubbed over them. “Mae? What’s wrong?” She held something in front of his nose, still totally confused and sleepy he took the thing and tried to focus on it. “What is this?” He tried to make sense out of this stick, but he couldn’t connect the dots. “I’m pregnant.” Mae simply said. It took Eijiro a while to realize what she said. He stared at the stick, and then up to her, then the stick again, and at last her. “You’re … pregnant?” “Jep, I am. Happened during our last heat sharing.” She murmured. Eijiro rolled around on his back and put an arm over his eyes. “Shit …” “Yeah, oh shit. I’m gonna make breakfast” she turned around and walked out of the room. Eijiro groaned and sat up after a while. He looked again at the pregnancy test in his hand. “Fuck …” he stood up and put some clothes on before he also went into the kitchen. He was still so fucking tired. “Hey, I’m sorry, for this reaction, I just … didn’t expect this. Nor was I prepared for this at all” he scratched the back of his head. “It’s okay, that was my reaction too. Especially since I am on birth control … but it obviously failed.” She grimaced. Eijiro sat down, nodding, and he took the coffee that she placed in front of him. “W-what are you going to do? Do you want to keep it?” he asked carefully. “Yes, I guess so. I mean, I always wanted pups so, why would I terminate it?” He nodded again. “Okay, fair enough.” They started to eat breakfast. There was a long silence between them. “What are we going to do from now on? Do you want to have a real relationship, or do we keep it the way it is and just meet up for sex? Do you want to be part of that pup's life?” She asked him. The alpha thought about it, he looked at Mae. He still wasn’t a hundred percent sure how he felt for her. “I still haven’t figured that out, to be honest” he finally said. “But we could try a real relationship. See if it works out. I want to be part of the pup's life for sure!” “Seems reasonable. I never really thought about love and that, but who knows, maybe we find it on the way.” “Sounds good” Eijiro looked at her, he still couldn’t really believe it. Mina and Tetsutetsu came out of their bedroom eventually. “Hey, what’s going on here? Why did you come bashing at our door?” Mina asked her. “Oh, well, I’m pregnant, I just wanted to inform Eijiro.” Mina’s eyes widened. “What? Pregnant?! Oooh, congratulations!” She jumped up and down. “Thanks” Mae smiled. “Damn, bro, congrats” Tetsutetsu mumbled. Eijiro forced his smile a little bit. “Thanks.” The time afterward was a bit hectic. They still had to figure all the stuff out, Eijiro was so not ready for that. The following weeks they had visits by a doctor to check on the embryo, everything was fine, which was good. They thought about their living situation, Eijiro liked to stay in his apartment, but while it was fine for now, they would need a bigger one for the pup. They didn’t come to an agreement for the moment. Eijiro met up with Katsuki, the first time in a long while. He told him about Mae’s pregnancy. “Damn, really? Do you want that?” Katsuki asked. “I guess. I honestly don’t really know.” Eijiro leaned his head back. “How do you feel for Mae?” “That’s the problem, I don’t know! It’s different from Hitomi, I mean, I loved Hitomi so much! And while Mae is fun to be around, I don’t love her … yet. The pregnancy is way too early, I don’t know if I am ready for that. But not being with her and helping her and all would be unmanly. We both agreed to try a relationship, but I feel so overwhelmed.” Katsuki nodded. “Understandable. But, I mean, trying it out and all is all good, but if it’s not then you shouldn’t force yourself to stay in a relationship with her.” “I know … I won’t” he looked up to the ceiling. “What about you and Hiroto?” “Oh, it’s going great. He’s so great!” Katsuki smiled brightly. “I love him …” “It’s great to see you so happy.” Eijiro smiled. “Thank you. I hope you find happiness in this too.” Katsuki grabbed his hand and squeezed it a little. “Meeting your parents?” Eijiro furrowed his brows. “Yes, I told them that I am pregnant and now they want to meet you.” She said. “Uh, okay, sure, why not,” Eijiro murmured. In front of him stood a big alpha, he was even taller than Eijiro, he looked very intimidating. He had strong dog features, much like Hound Dog had them. He had also dog ears and a tail. He had massive sharp teeth in his muzzle, he looked with sharp eyes at Eijiro. He made him feel quite unsettled. “So, you are my beloved daughter’s boyfriend?” He growled. “Uhm, yes” Eijiro felt as if the other man wanted to rip his head off. “Dad, be nice” Mae grumbled. “Do you think you are worthy of being with her?” he came closer and pressed his forehead almost against Eijiro’s, which was uncomfortable, because of the big muzzle. “I-I hope so?” Eijiro tried not to react to the threat that the other alpha posed. His inner alpha growled at the proximity. “You should prove it then. I challenge you! And if you win, you are capable of protecting my only daughter.” Yoru Inuko growled. “That’s unnecessary, dad. Eijiro is a hero. You know, Red Riot?” Mae tried to diffuse the situation. “I really don’t want to start a fight here …” Eijiro tried to get out of this uncomfortable situation. Yoru growled when Eijiro tried to back off. But suddenly her mother appeared. She came out of the living room. “Hey, you mongrel, let the boy alone, sit down!” she commanded. Tsuki Inuko was also an omega, and now Eijiro could see, where Mae got her temper. To his surprise Yoru sat down on the ground, his tail wagging happily. Tsuki stepped next to her husband and patted his head, he hummed. “I apologize, he likes to be intimidating, to a point it is over the top. Mae is our only daughter and youngest child, so he is extra protective.” “Uh … alright …” Eijiro was still so confused. “Let’s go to the living room.” She still smiled and turned around. “Heel!” she commanded and Yoru followed her. Mae covered her face with one hand. “This is so embarrassing” she shook her head. Eijiro hummed, he felt so out of place. A dozen other dogs ran around the house. Mae’s dogs she usually had around were also here. The first dog was Tsume, he was a Karelian bear dog, the second one was called Kiba, he was a Shiba Inu and the other two were wolf hybrids generation F2, a white one called Tsukimi and a black one called Mangetsu. The meeting was very strange because on one hand Yoru always tried to be intimidating towards Eijiro, but the second Tsuki said something he followed her orders. He sometimes behaved more like a dog than a human. They asked him about his job and he told them about it, he told them about some of his jobs, and they were impressed. Even more, that he was already in the top ten. When the meeting was over Mae, Eijiro, and the four dogs, left. “Is your father always like that?” “Unfortunately yes. My mother has a similar quirk like me, and my father is, through his quirk, enough dog, that she can actually control him.” She explained. “Yikes, isn’t that very … questionable?” Eijiro furrowed his brows. “Yeah, both families were not that happy about their marriage, at least from what my mother told me. Her parents asked if she had to marry someone with a dog quirk. Even though he’s alpha, he has mostly not the control, because of her quirk. I guess he could use alpha commands, but he would probably never do that. His parents weren’t that happy either, they even questioned if he did it of his own free will. But according to mother, she did not force him to marry her.” Mae explained. “They are just into the whole puppy kink … I guess.” “Aye … uh, each their own I would say …” “Yeah.” They met Eijiro’s parents a while later. Takumi was so excited to pet the dogs, he jumped up and down. Kiba and Tsume were very cuddly, but the wolf hybrids didn’t like to be touched by strangers. Yukari and Arashi introduced themselves to Mae, and at least they were acting normal. They seem to get along with Mae. Eijiro had to work much these times, he was still trying to figure out his feelings for her, why was it so hard? She was an amazing person! Why couldn’t he fall in love with her? She was as equally amazing as Hitomi was, and he instantly fell for Hitomi … Was that the problem? Had he trouble to fall for her because he was afraid something like this could happen again? He felt really unmanly because of this fact. He wanted to be supportive to Mae, especially since she was pregnant, but it was so damn hard for him! He had never thought that something like this would come out of something that started out as an Ember date. He tried his luck again and called Izuku. He didn’t know why him of all people, the guy had taken a year to answer his mails, but damn he needed someone to talk to. Sure, there were Tenya, Denki, Hitoshi, and literally all his other classmates, but he still kept going back to Izuku. Much to his surprise, Izuku actually answered. «Hey, Eijiro, what’s wrong?» Izuku asked. “Oh, you really answered!” It escaped Eijiro’s lips before he could stop it. «Ah, yeah, I got some free time this month» Izuku murmured. «Sorry for ghosting all of you, but when I come back from the war zones I have no capacity to answer something.» “Yikes, sounds bad,” Eijiro mumbled. «Hm, anyway, what do you need?» Izuku changed the topic. “Oh, right. I uh … I got a problem again” he sighed and explained the situation to him, that he got Mae pregnant, and now he had the trouble of what to do. That he still hadn’t developed real romantic feelings towards her. That he was afraid that he might never fall in love with her. «Wow, uh, congratulations at first … Yeah that situation is difficult.» He cleared his throat. «But Eijiro, you can’t force feelings. And if you do, you could make it all worse. If you really can’t commit to the relationship then wouldn’t it be better to not have a romantic one and live separated from each other? I mean, you can still be there for your kid, just because you don’t live together doesn’t mean you can’t support her. I’m sure a pup is happier in two separated but functional households than in one very unhappy and dysfunctional one. What good does it do, when you feel trapped in that relationship and can’t get out?» Eijiro stared at the ground. “Yeah, that’s probably right …” he sighed. “Since when do you give such good relationship advice?” «I don’t know, I guess since I live with people that have more or less stable relationships. They have a range from ‘Love till the end of time’ to ‘This could be a bloody crime scene any second now’.» “Yikes, anyhow, what’s with you? I mean, we haven’t heard of you all year, so any good news?” Izuku laughed. «Yeah, I have mated again.» “You what?!” Eijiro’s jaw dropped. «Yeah, do you remember Lucia White? She was the woman in the wheelchair. She’s my wife now.» He sounded so happy over the phone. “Oh, yeah, I remember her. Really, I never thought she would become your wife. But I am happy for you.” «She keeps me together. If it weren’t for her, I would have probably lost it by now.» “That’s good to hear. If she’s the one to make you happy then it was the right decision.” «She does. So, whatever you decide with Mae and the pup, if you stay with her, or if you decide to live separate from her, it has to feel right to you.» After his talk with Izuku, he felt a lot better. He would give the thing with Mae another chance. He would at least wait the pregnancy out, if he hadn’t developed feelings until then, he knew it wouldn’t last. And if he did, then it would be even better. He accompanied her to the doctor whenever she had an appointment. He took time off from hero work to help and support her. The pregnancy went relatively smoothly. He was now more in Mae’s apartment than before. He kinda missed Tetsutetsu and Mina around though. In July a villain appeared that flooded half of Niigata, even though it wasn’t Eijiro’s normal operation area, he still went to help the people. Many heroes from his former class came. The whole city was underwater and many people lost their lives and their homes. It was a big tragedy. The villain escaped into the ocean and no one saw them for some time. When Eijiro came back, he was really down and exhausted. Mae comforted him, he really needed it. He laid his head against her growing belly and he let out some chuffing sounds, the pup responded with a few kicks. He was so happy to feel that. Mae and he were shopping for baby products, they were casually walking through the store, holding hands. It was August and next month the baby would come, they had almost everything, just a few little things were missing. Eijiro had opened up to Mae more and more, he had told her, his concerns, that he is still affected by his breakup with Hitomi. Mae could understand him. Katsuki, Shoto, Tetsutetsu and he were sitting on Eijiro’s and Mae’s porch in August. Shoto was highly annoyed by everything that was going on in his family. “… and now Hawks is super sad because Endeavor won’t claim him and make their relationship public” He groaned. “I mean, did he really think Endeavor would do that?” Katsuki asked, sipping on his beer. “I don’t know but he came to me of all people to ask for advice. I kindly said that he has to figure that one out for his own, I don’t want to give him dating tips for my own father.” Shoto growled. Hawks had his pups in July, he had in fact twins, a baby girl, Takara, and a baby boy, Takuya. Shoto was not amused about that. “How is Toya dealing with this?” Eijiro asked. “Not good, he refuses to see our … half-siblings.” Shoto grimaced. “Have you seen them?” Tetsutetsu questioned. “Yeah, one time I needed to bring something to my old man’s home and Hawks opened. That’s when he asked me what to do.” Shoto leaned his head back. “Welp, sucks for him I guess, but he knew that it would be hard and even I could guess that Endeavor wouldn’t claim him,” Katsuki murmured. “I mean that’s a huge age gap relationship and you know how the media is.” “Yeah, exactly. That’s what I told him but he wants to be claimed so desperately. God, he’s such a bitch …” he grumbled. “Hey, apropos married, did you know that Izuku is married?” Eijiro brought up. Three pairs of eyes looked at him. “What? Since when? How do you know? Why does he not tell me that? With whom?” Katsuki bombarded him with questions. “So, I guess that’s a nope? Uh, I called him earlier this year and asked him what to do with my relationship with Mae, and do you remember the woman that he pushed around in the wheelchair. That’s his wife now.” “What! I haven’t really talked to him at all!” Katsuki pouted. “Every time I tried to call he was in some form busy,” Shoto murmured. Tetsutetsu shrugged, he didn’t have Izuku’s number in the first place. “Yeah, nah, he told me, he’s super happy with her,” Eijiro mumbled. “I guess I need to call him later … unbelievable, to leave me out like that” Katsuki crossed his arms in front of his chest. “Katsuki, what about you and Hiroto? Did you plan something more serious?” Eijiro asked. “Hm, our relationship is going steep uphill, I can’t complain, but we haven’t planned on mating or marrying yet” he had the brightest smile on his face. “What about yours?” He looked to Shoto and Tetsutetsu. “Mina and I are still more casual but since Eijiro moved out – for most of it – we can go all out without bothering someone. But for now, nothing big is planned.” Tetsutetsu shrugs. They look over to Shoto. “…” “So? What about you?” The others asked. “Well … don’t go around and tell everyone … but well Momo and I tried for pups a few times now and she might or might not be pregnant at the moment.” “Wow, really? If she is, congratulations!” Eijiro smiled brightly at him. “Yeah, man!” Tetsutetsu grinned. “If so, congrats” Katsuki patted his shoulder. “Does she plan on quitting being a hero?” “Temporarily. She definitely wants to come back later. But having Hotaru around her so much gave her baby fever. And ever since we rescued the omegas, she helps some of the orphaned pups and she speaks about pups all the time, so we might as well try for it.” “Oh, yeah, the orphaned pups. I visited them a few times too” Katsuki mentioned. “Oh? Really?” “Yeah, not gonna lie, I had a few moments of baby fever too …” He blushed a little. “Do you want pups in the near future?” Eijiro asked. “Not sure, I mean, I don’t know how Hiroto sees it, he got a pretty big family, and his mother is popping out so many children, don’t know how comfortable he feels with the thought of having one of his own,” Katsuki murmured. “But as of now, I could definitely see myself having a pup with him. But I want to wait a few years. I am not Number 1 yet.” “Hm, seems reasonable. I looked into Hiroto’s family, just for fun and damn, they are big. His dad is the CEO of multiple companies. And his siblings are very famous too. You really got a jackpot there” Shoto teased. Katsuki shrugged. “I know, but he tried to avoid contact with his family, so I never met them. They seem a little crazy.” “Yeah, they don’t have the cleanest records …” Shoto murmured. The evening was great and Eijiro enjoyed the time. September came and Mae was really huge now, it wouldn’t take long anymore. She felt like she could burst any minute now. Her dogs were even more protective of her than ever before. Even Eijiro had sometimes trouble getting to her. He had made his mind up by now. Living with Mae wasn’t that bad. He would stay with her, it wasn’t outright love he felt for her, he was still figuring it out, and so far he really liked it. He was luckily at home when the baby came. He brought Mae to the hospital and he was with her in the delivery room. It took incredibly long and he was kinda scared for her, he hadn’t expected it to take this long … But then he was finally here. His little boy. It was a magical moment when he was allowed to hold him in his arms after Mae had him. He looked at the little bundle, the pup was sleeping and looked so tiny and peaceful. Mae had already scented the pup, and now he carefully scented him, too. He cried tears of joy, he held him as much as he could, especially when Mae was asleep. Mae’s parents were overjoyed, her father goofed around with him, it looked a bit weird, his tail wagged happily all the time. Eijiro took a few weeks off of work. He wanted to support Mae with the baby as much as possible. Tetsutetsu and Mina came over some times too and they loved the little one, Ryuu Kirishima. He had cute little dog ears like his mother, but black hair, like Eijiro. His eyes were bright blue at the moment. Eijiro loved every moment he could spend time with his son, he especially loved it, when he was sleeping on his chest. Ryuu was so small in his arms. The others came over too after the first few weeks, and they congratulated the pair, they were so excited to see the newborn. Eri came too and she jumped up and down in pure happiness to see even more babies. Momo started to cry when she was allowed to hold him. She was still in baby fever. She couldn’t wait to have pups on her own. She was still in the first trimester. Katsuki and Hiroto came over too, Katsuki started to purr when he saw the pup, Mae smiled and gave him the little one and Eijiro could see the blush and sheer happiness. He took Hiroto to the side, while Mae was pacing around Katsuki and Ryuu. “Hey, how’s it going?” Eijiro asked the other alpha. “Wonderful! Katsuki is the best thing that ever happened to me.” Hiroto had a big smile. “That’s good to hear. So … let me be a little nosy, do you plan on proposing to him?” Eijiro looked over in great interest. Hiroto laughed and winked at him “I may or may not have something in mind.” Eijiro grinned. “Damn, then I may or may not be excited about the outcome. You know in the beginning I was kinda skeptical, I mean, I know Katsuki and he isn’t the easiest person to be around, so to see him this happy, makes me happy too. I don’t know what you did, that made him fall head over heels for you, but I’m glad that he found you.” “Thanks, man, I uh, assumed this would be more awkward. He told me what happened. So this means a lot to me.” “Don’t be stupid like me and let him go for the wrong reasons.” “I won’t.” The next months were beautiful and stressful at the same time. They didn’t get much sleep because of the baby. But it didn’t bother him too much. He would get up most of the time, so Mae could sleep. It affected his hero work a little bit, he had to step shorter because he didn’t get enough sleep, but he was still very popular. This year at the hero billboard charts, was a big surprise. Endeavor wasn’t the number 1 anymore, Lemillion and Blue Rabbit were now in front of him, it pissed him slightly off, twenty years of his life he had tried to become the number 1 and now he was down so soon … But he had to accept it. Best Jeanist went down to fourth place, and Ingenium was now on the fifth, followed by Dynamight, Red Riot, Mirko, Electro Master, and Uravity. Eijiro grinned a little when he saw Katsuki’s joy, soon he would be in the top five if the downwards trend with Endeavor continued. Hawks was there too and damn the tension was high, the former pro hero tried to be close to Endeavor but he wouldn’t budge in public. His wings were droopy in sadness. Even across the room, Eijiro could literally smell his disappointment, even though he was wearing his collar. He felt kinda bad for Hawks, but he wanted to be with Endeavor, so he had to endure that. The first Christmas with their little boy was lovely, of course, Mae’s parents went kinda overboard with the presents, but he didn’t mind. He raised his eyebrows when he got an invitation from the Koka Tanso Agency, he tried to remember what the agency did, they weren’t heroes as far as he remembered. It was scheduled for next year. It was a pretty big job offer. Tetsutetsu had gotten the same offer, he wondered what that job was about. They celebrated New Year, he really hoped that the next year would continue to be good. +++ Izuku was still in marital bliss, unlike the previous years he declined to go to Africa. He wanted to stay with his wife and stepson. When the mercenaries were gone, it was always so eerily quiet in the house. There were still many people around, but they weren’t as loud as some of the members were. Especially Kairi had a very loud organ when she and Miles were on each other's throats again. He’d love to stay in bed with Lucia all the time, but that wasn’t really possible, and he knew that. At the moment, Lucia was sitting in front of a big mirror and Izuku was trying to style her hair, she couldn’t really do it on her own anymore. Malka was with him and showed him how to properly tie up hair, all he could do were basic ponytails. Lucia enjoyed it greatly when he groomed her hair, she crooned the whole time. “Nooo! You have to move the hair that way!” Malka scolded him. “Sorry!” Izuku grimaced, he couldn’t really do what she wanted him to. “Take your time, Izu, I don’t mind,” she said. “Alright, Lucy” he murmured. It took them about forty minutes to finish her hair. “Do you like makeup too?” Malka asked. “I … I never really wore makeup, I was born into a military family and makeup wasn’t allowed.” She looked at her with big red eyes. “Then, why don’t you try it? I can show you how you can highlight your beauty even more. Not that you would need makeup in the first place, so I won’t go overboard.” Malka smiled. Lucia smiled too, she blushed a little at the compliment. Izuku grinned widely too, it was the greatest thing to see her happy. He watched amazed, at how Malka put on Lucia’s makeup. She stared at herself in awe, when Malka was done. “Ta-daa” she presented. “Wow, this really looks good!” Her eyes sparkled when she looked at herself in the mirror. “How do I look?” She turned to Izuku. “You look so amazing! Malka did a fantastic job! It really suits you.” Smiling, he held out his hand and she grabbed it. They went for a walk again, they made sure to only stay on the main road, especially with Kieran in tow. It was such a nice day, but Izuku had to admit, that he sometimes missed the snow. Lucia hadn’t really seen snow her entire life, she remembered one year, they had a little bit of fuzzy snow but it didn’t stay and melted away rather quickly. She had never seen something like that before, of course, she knew what snow was from the internet. “Snow?” Hua asked. “You have never seen snow before?” “No, not really” Lucia mumbled. “When you grow up in a country that is at war all the time, you don’t have time to miss things like that.” “Yeah, I get you, mother was born into war too, she told me about it,” Hua explained. She put a finger on her chin. “I might have an idea”, she grinned. Izuku, Lucia, Kieran, and Hua with her son Derek arrived at the airport in Kiel, Germany. They left the terminal and they were greeted with massive piles of snow. Lucia stared at the white powder in awe. Kieran clung to Izuku’s hand he looked kinda afraid. He had never seen anything like that. “Hua! Long time no see!” A girl came rushing over to Hua she hugged her tight. It was her Cousin, Kalina. Mai-Li’s younger sister had married a German man and had moved here after they had left China. Kalina had invited Hua a while ago, but there was never really time, but now she took the opportunity. “Izuku, Lucia, Kieran, that’s my Cousin Kalina, Kalina, those are Izuku, Lucia, and Kieran” she introduced everyone. “Hi, it’s so nice to meet you!” Kalina greeted them in English. “Hua told me, you never saw snow before?” She looked at Kieran. But the boy hid behind Izuku. “Sorry, he is a bit shy,” Lucia said. “And no, we haven’t really seen snow before.” “Well, don’t worry, stranger danger is a thing, so good that he keeps to his parents” Kalina nodded in understanding. “Anyway, then let’s go. We live a bit outside of Kiel and there is plenty of snow around!” With that they moved over to the parking lot, Izuku opened the door and let his wife and son in, before he stored the luggage in the trunk, after that he joined them. Derek also sat with them, while Hua sat next to Kalina. They drove through the snowy city, he was still kinda jumpy when he was in countries with right-hand traffic. They arrived at a cozy home, they would stay with Kalina and her husband. Kalina welcomed them into their home, it was really cozy here, at first glance. Kalina’s husband Robert was also very welcoming. They let it go easy the first day and they had to recover from the long flight, so they didn’t do much. The following day, however, they took Kieran and Derek out to a field, They let them build snow people and snow angels. Kieran was totally fascinated by the snow. He liked to be pulled around on a sled. They visited some attractions in the city, too and Kieran definitely loved the Aquarium the most. Lucia was so happy to see her boy like this, that he could be finally a child. The week was over way too soon and they flew back to Thailand. Kieran couldn’t stop talking about all the snow to the other children. Izuku was very surprised to get a call from Eijiro, even more, when he learned that the other alpha was going to be a father soon, he tried to give him good advice, but he wasn’t sure if he was any help at all. He always tried to stay in contact with the others, but it was difficult, he didn’t even have time to tell Kacchan that he was married now. He was constantly occupied by something, Lucia and Kieran were his main focus, but the city too. The Slasher was back in action, the one that killed male omegas. Kairi was still in Africa and she told him to take care of it. The main problem was, that he now started to target members of the Russians, the Triads, and the Yakuza too, and they didn’t like that. Izuku felt overwhelmed by everything, he tried to reason with the other prime alphas, in Kairi’s place, but they wouldn’t even consider his words. They wouldn’t listen to a ‘whiney little brat’ like him. Izuku got rather aggressive when they insulted him. The main problem was, that he didn’t have the necessary might behind his voice, he was not mean enough either. He listened to them forming a plan to lure that bastard out. Anastasia planned on executing them. She even offered a bounty on their head for everyone that could bring her the head of that bastard. The Triads and the Yakuza agreed on that too, Izuku felt sick when he heard them making jokes about killing the guy in particular ways. Ginji – the right-hand man of the Yakuza leader – seemed particularly excited. He said that he didn’t care for ‘those male omega fuckers’ but he wouldn’t let it slide that some of their men were targeted too. Izuku was so repulsed by those people, he let out some foul stench, without notice. “Oi, babyface, you got a problem?” Ginji tilted his head. He had a huge shit-eating grin on his face. Oh, yes, this guy loved to provoke. “I have a lot of problems with that plan” he growled. “What? This guy deserves to be killed. He doesn’t play after the rules, we don’t like that.” Ginji’s voice pissed him off so much. “Still, you guys are hunting him down and want to kill him, what about the prison?” Izuku tried to reason. “The prison is just for show, it’s for the guys that get caught by the police first, do you honestly think they give those guys fair sentences? They put murderers and petty thieves together, and they bet on whoever stays alive the longest. They don’t give a fuck.” Ginji explained. “Believe me when I say, the guy dies quicker and probably with less pain than in the prison.” “That doesn’t make it right! The whole prison system should be reworked so that the less extreme inmates are safe! And-“ Izuku stopped when suddenly, a sharp pain appeared on his cheek, he looked over and Ginji’s katana was stuck in the backrest of the couch he was sitting on, droplets of blood covered the thin blade. He hadn’t even seen him move. “Listen here you little fucker, you are about thirty years too young to order someone around here. We don’t need a twenty-something-year-old to tell us how to run this city. If you ever try that again, I’m gonna carve some nice little patterns into your throat. Do we understand each other?” Ginji came closer, his foul stench burned Izuku’s nostrils. He was so pissed at the alpha, he was tempted to use his prime alpha power, but he figured that this guy could probably resist it, and besides, he was outnumbered by a lot, the other leaders sat there and watched them with interest. “I understand” he growled. Ginji scoffed. “What a pathetic, whiny little bitch you are. You’re a prime alpha but you got nothing going for you. You could at least stand your ground a little. How disappointing.” He turned back to his seat. The rest of the meeting was very intense, he was relieved when he could go. His chin quivered a little, he bit down on his bottom lip. He felt burning hot rage inside of him. Why couldn’t he do anything? He felt so fucking powerless! He had multiple quirks and this guy looked like he stood with one foot in the grave, so why was he terrified of him? They all had an aura that he couldn’t stand. He came home, he was still in a very bad mood. Lucia asked him what was wrong and he explained what had happened. “Well, he is right, you are too young and inexperienced. Why would they respect someone who did nothing for the city and is half the age of most of those people …” “Yeah, I know you’re right, but it still leaves me so frustrated.” She hugged him from behind. “I know it must be terrible for you. It is hard to get a hold in a city like that.” There was not much he could do about it, it was so pathetic, he called Kairi and told her about what happened. “Yeah, Ginji … he’s an asshole, don’t let him get into your head. I’m coming back soon, hold tight.” Yeah, easier said than done. Izuku was walking down the streets in the middle of the night, which was never a good idea in the first place, suddenly his danger sense activated, he felt a spine chill and he changed his directions. He could hear them from afar, the screaming sounds of absolutely terrified people, he hurried up he needed to help them! But when he arrived at the scene he stopped in absolute horror. He saw the corpses of at least four male omegas, and amidst the chaos stood two people. Izuku’s body ran cold and an uncontrollable shaking ran through it. It was a woman and a boy. The woman seemed to be around eighteen, she had skin as white as snow with hair of the same color, but now it was drenched in red color, her blue eyes were cold and merciless. The boy was maybe eleven or twelve years old. He had black hair and red eyes, and equally, white skin, sprinkled with red. His teeth were sharp. “W-What the hell is going on here?” Izuku heard himself speaking. The boy had the severed head of one of the omegas in his hand, he was playing with it, a big smile on his face. “Oh, sister! Can I kill him too?” he asked in a happy voice. “Yes, brother, he saw us, it is sad because he is an alpha, but there’s nothing we can do about it. “What? No! What is wrong with you two? Why are you doing this?” The boy suddenly pounced at him and then he was gone! Izuku looked around frantically but even though danger sense activated he could not block the incoming blow, the boy kicked him in the chest, and Izuku was pushed back. How on earth could a child be that fucking strong? He wasn’t even half of Izuku’s size! All the air was knocked out of Izuku’s lungs and he crashed into a wall. He coughed violently and tried to get back up but before he could react again, the woman was over him. He could smell a sickly sweet scent and suddenly his body felt numb. He looked up and tried to move, but paralysis crept through him and slowly but surely he lost the feeling in all of his limbs. “W-Why are you doing this?” His danger sense went haywire when both of them came closer. He tried to activate blackwhip to get away, but not even that would activate. Why the fuck could he not activate his quirks? He was grabbed by the collar of his shirt and this girl, who was so much smaller than him too, lifted him up into the air as if he weighed nothing. She flung him through the room and he crashed into a storage rack, he couldn’t even feel the impact, so numb was his body. The boy laughed uncontrollably, it sounded completely mental. His hands were covered in blood and he didn’t even care that he smeared it all over his face when he grabbed onto his cheeks in delight. “Sister! Can I play with him? I never played with someone that big!” The boy jumped up and down in anticipation. “Sure … but hurry up, we are here for way too long already,” The girl said, her face was emotionless. The boy jumped towards him and grabbed his wrist, his grasp was so damn tight that he broke it, even though his body was numb and he couldn’t control his limbs, he still felt the pain. Not that a few broken bones were new to him. This little boy dragged his heavy prime alpha body halfway across the room towards the other bodies. Izuku tried his best to get control over his body back, he even tried to alpha command the boy, but he didn’t react at all. Izuku’s head hit something cold and hard. He tried to look around but he didn’t manage to do so. The boy sat astride on top of his massive chest and suddenly his fingers ripped his shirt open and dug into the flesh of his body. Happily, the claws of the boy tore through his chest and Izuku groaned in pain. The boy lifted his bloody fingers to his mouth and licked the blood. “Oh, you taste so good! Sister! He tastes so good! Do you want to try?” he looked to his sister, he was in complete ecstasy. “This tastes so much better than those stupid omegas!” The woman walked closer towards him and she poked in one of the wounds, her finger was dripping with blood when she pulled it out. She licked the blood off. “You are right, he tastes fantastic …” she said in her monotonous voice. As excited as the boy was as cold was she. The boy leaned down and his sharp teeth dug into Izuku’s skin again and he groaned in pain, he could feel how the boy was sucking his blood. Why was he losing against two kids? How could this happen? How did he end up in something like this? He was a damn prime alpha! He had One for All as a quirk! How could this fucking happen? He trained so much but why did he lose so badly then? NO! A voice was in his head, he could feel how the boy drank more and more blood from him, tearing through his chest as if it was paper-mâché. He would die … NO!! His thoughts wandered to Lucia, she would have to go through that all over again … if he died here, she was alone again. What would happen to her? He knew that she would probably break. He didn’t want to die! No, he would die if this boy continued like that! NO!!! Izuku woke up several hours later. He could feel the hole in his chest, blood was running out of his mouth. He looked around, what the hell happened? Did they leave him alive? He froze again when he saw the boy on the ground, he had a big hole in his chest the girl was next to him she was pierced too. They had cuts all over their bodies. Totally confused he tried to stand up. His chest hurt so much, now he could feel himself normally again. It burned, it was the worst thing he ever felt. But much more painful was the fact that he didn’t know how he survived this. Did he … He walked over to the boy and the girl, they were unmistakably dead. Was that his fault? But why couldn’t he remember? Tears shot into his eyes, no … he couldn’t stay here! He needed to get out! Hot tears streamed over his cheeks when he realized that he was a killer … he must have killed them, how else could he still be alive and they were dead! He ran through the dark streets, totally in panic and disgust and pain. On his way back he vomited multiple times. He still couldn’t believe it. Completely out of his mind he stumbled towards the Ridgway mansion. He saw how Kairi and the rest just arrived. Kairi looked up when she saw him coming, her eyes widened and she ran towards him. She caught him before he collapsed on the ground. “What the hell happened?” she asked. But Izuku couldn’t answer, he sobbed uncontrollably in her arms. Ian came over and he gave him blood to drink. His chest healed but he was still so in a panic. “K-Kairi, I think I killed someone!” he managed to say. She patted his hair. “Show me.” He was terrified to bring her back to this place, Kairi, Miles, and Ian followed him to the horrid crime scene. Izuku broke down crying once again when he saw the bodies and when he smelled the stench of death. Ian crouched down next to him, he carefully stroked through the green, messy hair. Miles examined the crime scene. He rewinded in his inner eye what had happened. “Izuku, you are not a killer” he murmured. Izuku looked up in confusion. “But how are they dead? No one else was around!” “No, that’s not true, someone else was here, but I can’t really make out who it was” he growled a little. Only certain people who knew about his quirk could hide their identity from a scene like that. Kairi sniffed the air. “I think I know …” She closed her nostrils with her thumb and index finger, she cringed. “C’mon let’s visit the Yakuza.” Kairi pulled her phone out and ordered the cleaners to take care of the crime scene, meanwhile, they went downtown to the Residence of the Yakuza Leader. Izuku was still sniffling, he couldn’t believe Miles and Kairi that he was innocent. They entered the Akibahara Plaza, it was a small plaza with mostly Japanese folks, they got some strange looks but Kairi didn’t give a fuck. She stormed into Chisora’s hideout. “Yo, Cutthroat, bring me to your boss, asshole” she growled at Ginji who was lounging around. “Oh, you back? Your little puppy over there tried to make decisions for you, didn’t work too good” He still had a fucking huge grin on his face. “Stop talking bullshit and bring me to Chisora, or else I punch your remaining fucking teeth out!” “Oh, now I’m scared” he scoffed, but he stood up and walked them to Chisora’s office. They entered and Izuku only registered in the back of his head, that this was a luxurious place. Chisora was behind his desk, doing paperwork. “Oh, Kairi, you’re back from Africa? How was it?” “Eh, we can talk another time, I have something different first.” With her thumb, she pointed back to Izuku over her shoulder. “Midoriya was attacked earlier, and I discovered your stinkhorn’s scent on the scene” with her other thumb she pointed to Ginji, “the killers had cuts all over and very particular holes in their chest. Were you two there too?” “Yes, we were. We eliminated them.” Chisora answered nonchalantly. “What happened?” “The suspects attacked Midoriya. Ginji and I killed them” He shrugged. “B-But why did you just leave?” Izuku asked. “We thought you were dead, or wouldn’t make it. Our objective was to kill the siblings, nothing more, nothing less.” Chisora explained. Behind him collected a strange darkness, it looked like a mix of ash or soot but from his position, Izuku couldn’t really make it out. It looked like moray eels and they had red glowing lights as eyes. They hissed eerily while they floated around him. “It is not our duty to bring him away.” “Of course not … See Izuku, you’re not a killer.” “How did you know that we were there?” Izuku asked. Suddenly the eels shot in his direction. “I have my servants everywhere. If that was all then you can go now. We should really have a talk at a different time, Kairi.” Chisora looked at Kairi, he had a seemingly warm smile on his face, but it gave Izuku chills. “Sure thing. Let’s go, we got a few things to unpack …” They came back to the mansion. Izuku was still shivering, he clung to Ian – more because of the blood that he had gotten from him. “Take a shower, Izuku, I’m sure it was a very stressful time. If you need anything you can come to me.” Kairi murmured. “And, sorry for putting you into this position in the first place. It wasn’t fair to do that while I’m gone.” “I, uh … couldn’t do anything. It’s so frustrating … I tried to stop them from killing just like that … but in the end it was meaningless, I couldn’t reach them.” “It tends to happen when people only know violence. You can’t reason with them. All of them are too far gone” Kairi explained. “But you’re different.” She shrugs. “No, I’m exactly the same … I am not better than them.” Izuku looked at her, yeah, she was probably right. “Excuse me, I just want to sleep …” “Sure, do that.” Izuku went up to his room, he went directly into the shower, Lucia and Kilian were already sleeping, he turned on the shower and washed all the grime and blood and other dried fluids off. His gaze became blurry as water and tears filled his eyes. He sunk to the ground, his whole body was shaking while he cried. Eventually, he managed to get out of the shower, he felt really numb and his eyes hurt from crying. He dried and dressed himself and then he moved over to the bed. He carefully climbed behind Lucia, Kieran was sleeping next to her. Both of them needed it sometimes. Izuku looked at both of them, a lump in his throat. He had almost died … and if that had happened, they would be going through the same hell as before. No, he couldn’t do that to her! He pulled her carefully closer and nuzzled his nose against her soft hair. It calmed him down a little bit, even though he was still completely on edge. Hosted by Animexx e.V. (http://www.animexx.de)
