Chapter Text
A month had passed since Katsuki last saw Izuku. Thirty-one days ago, Katsuki kissed him before leaving for the movies, not knowing he would get kidnapped by his ex-boyfriend.
Deep down, he knew that his alpha would move heaven and earth to reach him, but the League of Villains was always one step ahead. The last time Izuku got close enough was more than a week ago.
“Baby, you should eat. Our pup needs to stay healthy and strong,” Touya shoved a plate of undercooked meat and vegetables in his face.
Katsuki gagged and ran to the restroom to empty his already empty stomach.
His ex-boyfriend had always had a screw loose, but ever since he discovered Katsuki’s pregnancy, he’s claimed that he’s the father. Had the blonde not been vulnerable, he would have slammed his fist through the other’s jaw.
Katsuki sighed as he rinsed his mouth, sliding to the floor as exhaustion crept in. Dealing with the villains and a delusional Dabi was difficult.
He rubbed his swollen belly. They say eating is essential during pregnancy, but the food they offered him was always burnt or undercooked. What’s worse, the stress of sleeping in the same vicinity as the League was enough to prevent him from resting.
Katsuki didn’t want to think too deeply about what could happen if he didn’t eat or rest enough. If he did, his mind would spiral due to stress.
The only doctor Shigaraki and Dabi would allow him to see was a friend of Shigaraki’s second soul. According to his theory, the alpha had two souls in his body. The first was Tomura, and the second soul, well, not so much a soul but a vestige, belonged to the former criminal All for One. The doctor, Dr. Kyudai Garaki, was competent enough to give him an ultrasound and prenatal vitamins. The only reason why he allowed the villainous doctor to treat him was because he did not want to risk the health of his child by refusing treatment.
Katsuki watched a leaky faucet, hoping that it wouldn’t be much longer for Izuku to rescue them.
“Ha,” he exhaled. The burning sensation in his chest returned; it was indigestion. It was a common pregnancy symptom, but it was never pleasant.
“You look ill,” the alpha chuckled.
Katsuki glared at Shigaraki. “Leave me alone. I don’t want to see you. It’s your fault I’m here.”
“No, it’s yours. You could do so much more than spread your legs with your quirk. When I met you a few months back, I saw the determination in your eyes, yet you got yourself pregnant…. It’s rather disappointing,” the white-haired alpha sighed.
The blonde rubbed his chest. He needed his medication, but there was no way he would ask the other for help.
“Heh, trying to act tough while barely keeping yourself on the floor is pathetic.”
“Fuck off,” Katsuki used the counter as support to lift himself. “Why are you here?”
“I wanted to know what your alpha knew about me. He’s already gotten rid of so many of my allies, and since we met, I’m sure he’s done extensive research on me.”
Katsuki shook his head, “Even if I knew, what makes you think I would tell you anything?”
“I’m letting you live,” he shrugged. “I find that reason enough.”
The blonde leaned against the counter, finally feeling better. His body felt heavy, but he knew he had to remain strong. “You’re a homicidal maniac who’s run rampage on countless cities. He’s bound to find you soon enough; don’t worry about that,” he smirked, confident in his alpha's alpha's power.
“Will you be alive by then?”
A sharp pain pierced his abdomen. He placed his left hand over the area, hunching over in pain. “Does it matter? He’ll kill you for laying your disgusting hands on me.”
Tomura laughed, “You seem to not care about yourself, but shouldn’t you worry about your pup’s life? I have endless quirks that I can use to kill it.”
Katsuki bit the inside of his cheek. He wouldn’t whimper. He could show physical signs of weakness, but not mental because that meant he didn’t trust his alpha. And Izuku deserved more than this piece of shit.
“Well, after I took control of All for One from within my mind, I can do whatever I want. Let him come and find us. I want to see his strength. Then, when I kill you in front of him, he’ll be at his strongest, so when he’s murdered in cold blood, everyone will fear me.”
Despite the pain, Katsuki staggered out of the room and entered the broom closet. The light flickered, showing signs that the battery was dying. When he first found this room, there was dried blood and rags, so he had to let the smell air out.
He leaned against the wall.
Don’t worry, baby, it’s going to be okay.
Your daddy will find us, and we’ll be able to go home.
Katsuki stared at the flickering bulb, tears streaming down his face.
The pain he was experiencing was overwhelming, but it was nothing compared to the pain from being away from home. He missed Izuku, their friends, and his parents. He wouldn’t take them for granted.
He had not even told his parents about his pregnancy, and he wondered where they were. Did they fly out here after they heard the news?
The bulb burnt out, leaving him in the darkness. Crying away from those who wanted to hurt him was a luxury, but at that moment, all he wanted was to be in the arms of his loved ones.
He didn’t want to be here. Katsuki’s throat burned; the words he couldn’t say, the sobs threatening to burst out of his chest, made it hard to breathe.
I want to go home. I want us to survive this and live happily.
Haven’t I gone through enough?
“Katsuki!!” Dabi’s voice rang, his fists slamming against the weak door. “Open up, Katsuki.”
The alpha continued his onslaught. A small, selfish piece of Katsuki wanted Touya to break the door and hurt him enough that they would need to take him to the hospital.
It would be easier to run away if I was in a hospital.
The sounds became more violent. “Open up, bitch. If you don’t open the door right now, I will fuck you up and force you to respect me.”
Katsuki laughed, tears stopping. He smiled at his belly, “Can you believe that I dated that fucker? That dumbass could never reach the league your daddy is in, not even if he were to apologize, repent, and worship the ground I walked on.”
“Katsuki!”
How did I survive this when I was back in Japan?
Why did I let you mistreat and abuse me for so long?
How did I delude myself when I knew my worth?
The door broke, but none of the broken wood harmed Katsuki despite it being a tiny room.
Dabi swung open what was left of the door, panting harshly. “Why didn’t you open the door?!”
Katsuki glared at his former boyfriend, “I couldn’t hear you.” He walked away, head held high.
I’ve always deserved better, and so do you, baby.
If anyone were to describe Izuku, none of the words used would be “angry,” “unpleasant,” or “aggressive.” That was not the man he was, at least, that wasn’t his usual demeanor.
Izuku was at his wit’s end.
He stood by the large window that peered over the horizon. Behind him sat his friends, Endeavor, and some of Japan’s heroes.
Time and time again, the League has evaded him, and to make matters worse, Katsuki’s former boyfriend was Shoto’s older brother—the same brother who was supposedly deceased.
“I have to ask myself if this team is incompetent.” Izuku shallowly chucked, “For my life, I can’t understand why they keep evading us. Can you imagine how little resources they have now that we’ve destroyed base after base? How many allies do they have now that we’ve destroyed group after group? I don’t get it,” he turned to face them. “Should I assume that there’s a mole in our team?”
Momo shook her head, “That would be impossible. While I cannot explain why they have evaded us for so long, I can be certain that there isn’t a mole.”
“How certain?” Izuku asked, his piercing gaze never leaving Endeavor’s eyes. “How close were you with your son?”
“How ludicrous! You dare think I would help him after he’s become a villain?”
“No idea, that’s why I’m asking,” he shrugs.
Shoto stood, “Izuku, I swear my father is not a mole.”
The tension in the room could be cut with a flimsy knife. No one wanted to speak, especially after seeing how the League has continued evading them when they were limited in resources.
Izuku could laugh at the attendees’ expressions. They should experience his future mother-in-law’s wrath if they thought he was terrible. She wanted to join the meeting, but because she was a Japanese citizen and was in no capacity a fighter, she wasn't allowed.
The blonde woman almost bit Izuku’s head off when she arrived. She understood that he was dealing with another issue, which was Toga. The same woman who had been Katsuki’s friend and attempted to murder him multiple times while her son was defenseless
“Wow, I’m a bit shocked. I didn’t think you would defend him,” Izuku replied.
“I’m not defending him. I’m only stating a fact. I have followed him after our meetings, and he hasn’t met with Touy… Dabi. As for his phone records, I’ve been keeping tabs on that as well.”
“Shoto!” Endeavor started but was silenced by Izuku’s glare.
“I trust you. Thank you, Shoto.” Izuku nodded at his friend. “Let’s go back to my original question then. Is this an incompetent group? Our group supposedly has no moles, yet we keep losing our trace on a weakened League?”
“Shigaraki is not weak,” Hitoshi interjected. “The number of quirks he has is ridiculous, and let's not forget how powerful his original ‘Decay’ is. He’s much stronger than average heroes and agents.”
Hitoshi wasn’t offended by his friend’s words. He wanted to support his friend; one way to do so was by getting to the point. Izuku didn’t want to hear the bullshit.
Since Katsuki’s disappearance, Izuku has reacted negatively to omega scents. His body rejected anyone who wasn’t Katsuki, so while Mina wanted to comfort her friend, she was limited in her options. Recently, she tried calming him down with her pheromones, but that only made Izuku vomit.
“I understand why you feel like we’re incompetent, but I-“
“My apologies. I would never think you’re incompetent, Mina. I meant the rest,” Izuku smiled.
“You do know we’re the top heroes of our country, right?” Hawks scoffed.
“And yet you never caught Dabi and Toga when they resided in Japan,” he snapped. “Mina, please continue with what you were saying.”
“While we haven’t been able to pinpoint their current location, this is what we gathered on the team he has. By the time we find them, which, according to Jirou, should be within the next few hours, it should be less than this.”
“How can you be sure?” Shoto asked.
Iida stood from his seat, “Our team has discovered more bodies from their side. They’re not even trying to hide them. We can only theorize that they are making mistakes, so Shigaraki and his group are killing them to tie up loose ends.”
Izuku nodded. “Yes, I had a similar theory. Thank you both for looking into it. Are we done here?”
“Yes.”
“Good. See you all when we gather again,” Izuku bowed and left for his apartment. He had avoided going back to it. Everything in his apartment reminded him of Katsuki.
The apartment was silent, sighing in tiredness, Izuku dragged himself to eat.
Where are you, Katsuki?
Will you forgive me when I find you?
I know you’re probably disappointed in me. What kind of alpha am I? My omega got kidnapped, and to make matters worse, you had just learned you were pregnant.
His heart rate accelerated at the thought of his omega and pups crying out for him. He moaned in pain. What will I do if you never want to see me again?
Will you hate me if I beg you to forgive me and not leave me? I don’t want to lose either of you.
Katsuki…. Please be safe. If you’re harmed in any way, I don’t think I could ever forgive myself.
The sound of a phone rang. It was his mother. The Bakugou family was living with her in a safe location within the city. At first, Masaru had asked Izuku if he could remain with the alpha; he wanted to stay close. Inko convinced him that it would be wise for the parents to stay together due to Izuku’s position.
Inko explained that they needed to be in a secure location because of the incident with Toga. Izuku had to be confident they were safe to use his full power without worrying about their safety.
He sighed but answered the phone. When the same questions were asked, he responded like a robot. His answers hadn’t changed much, which always resulted in Mitsuki screaming at him.
The alpha understood where she was coming from. If he didn’t, he would have been a hypocrite, considering how he acted during his meeting. Their investigation would find a trail, but then suddenly, they would lose grasp of Katsuki.
Izuku stood for hope and justice, but he couldn’t deny the part of him that only cared for Katsuki and his pup’s safety. So, yes, he cared that they were bringing crime down and imprisoning villains that had plagued the streets, but Izuku was more focused on getting back his mate and child.
“Inko, cover your ears….” Izuku could hear bickering on the other line, followed by stomping and a door slamming shut. “I’m alone now, Izuku. So hear me out until the end and only respond then, okay?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“Kill them for laying a hand on my son and grandchild.”
Izuku’s blood ran hot, and it wasn’t because he was shocked by her request. No, he had been waiting for permission from someone–anyone to kill the bastard for kidnapping Katsuki.
“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure they don’t make it out alive,” he smiled menacingly.
Will you forgive me if I become the devil to save you, Katsuki?
Katsuki lay on his back. His appointment had just concluded. Dr. Garaki had just told him he was eight weeks pregnant and was still in his second trimester. The pup’s heartbeat wasn’t as strong as it should be due to his mother’s stress and the lack of daily nutritional needs.
“You need to eat if you plan to keep the fetus.”
“Your friend’s protege and his stupid group don’t know how to cook. They won’t let me cook because they think I’ll trick them into letting me use my quirk. I don’t plan to eat undercooked food.”
“Do they burn it?”
“Occasionally, but the inside is undercooked.”
“Hmm,” the doctor shrugged, “Then be prepared to lose it.”
Katsuki’s breath hitched, “What?!”
The old man’s expression turned bored. “Unless Dabi or Shigaraki ask, I won’t force a tube down your throat to have you eat. I might be a doctor, but that doesn’t mean I honor our oath.”
He stood from his seat. The chair’s springs made a squeaking noise.
Katsuki’s eye twitched. There weren’t many options he had to choose from, but neither option felt compelling. Katsuki exhaled slowly, “Then I’ll follow your advice.”
He did not give up easily, but he couldn’t be stubborn. Not when his pup could suffer the consequences.
I can get a stomach bug from undercooked food, or I can starve and affect my pup’s life by being malnourished.
Katsuki walked back to the main room. It was almost lunch, and the room smelled like burnt chicken and oversalted vegetables.
Better than nothing.
The doctor had not mentioned gender, and Katsuki didn’t care what his baby was. He cared more about their health and didn’t want to eat anything the League provided him.
The only saving grace he had for the past weeks was the few villains who pitied a starving Katsuki, but just as soon as he would get a few pieces of food in him, the person would be dead the next day. Dabi was relentless.
His jealousy and possessiveness had worsened since Katsuki’s abduction. Any time he was given attention, he knew someone would end up dead. The cruel part of him didn’t care due to the fact that they were merciless villains, but a tiny smidge of him felt guilty for caring more about losing his source of edible food.
I can’t let everything bother me…. If I do, then what’ll happen to me when I’m consumed by guilt and grief?
Dabi wore a terrifying smile as the omega sat across him. He was thankful that his bump was nonexistent. It’s far too early for his pregnancy to show. Katsuki was afraid of what the homicidal alpha would do if he saw his swollen baby.
An alpha like him wouldn’t be happy seeing me pregnant with another alpha’s pup.
“I made you some food,” his smile became strained.
Katsuki stared at the bracelets he wore. They rendered his quirk useless. He had already sworn that he wouldn’t retaliate, considering he was outnumbered and he and his pup could be killed almost immediately.
“Not going to say anything?” His smile became playful. Katsuki called this his ‘playing with his food’ mood.
“I can’t use my quirk even if I wanted. Why can’t I make my own food?” He frowned, picking at the food with his fork. The once vibrant green vegetable was now a dull green. It looked unappetizing. “You can make me cook everyone’s food, I don’t give a fuck. Just let me cook.”
Touya’s smile fell and was replaced by angry pheromones. “Why can’t you just accept the food and say thank you? Should I force you down and feed you myself?”
The alpha stalked over to him, forcing Katsuki out of his seat. The blonde hissed when the other pressed down on a bruise he had from his recent doctor’s appointment.
“Do you think I want to hurt you? Do you think I want to see you reject me when all I’ve done is care and love you?”
“Oh fuck you! Toga and you started this shit when you chose to screw each other behind my back. Why didn’t you just fucking leave me? Then you tried to fucking kill me over and over again. How the fuck is it any of my fault? I didn’t expect to fall in lov-”
Touya slapped Katsuki across the face, stopping him mid-word. “Finish that sentence, and I’ll kill that bastard child of yours. You’ve never said that to me when we dated, but you open your legs at the first alpha who pays attention to you?”
Katsuki heard ringing in his ears. He held his stinging cheek, tears falling uncontrollably. It felt like he was having an out-of-body experience. The short intakes of breath and whimpering did not feel like they were coming from him; they felt like the sound was drifting in from another room.
He hasn’t done this in a while.
*************
The room became dark, the ringing in his ears becoming louder as everything else became silent.
“Are you listening to me, babe?”
Katsuki looked up; his body was heavy. A moment ago, he was standing, but when he tried to open his eyes, he was on a soft surface. He felt groggy as he forced his mouth to open. “What?” he slurred.
The pressure in his head made it hard to focus on what was being said. “Huh?”
Touya chuckled, “Are you not paying attention to what I’m saying?” The voice was distant, yet Katsuki knew someone was sitting beside him.
Or was there?
He wasn’t sure. His eyes wouldn’t adjust to anything.
When wet lips kissed his skin, he shivered. Not because he enjoyed it but because the cold air gave him goosebumps.
Am I naked?
The cold feeling soon left him as his body became warmer. The dizziness became overbearing. His boyfriend’s laughter could be heard from afar, but Katsuki couldn’t understand why he was naked and why Touya was touching him.
“W..whys my body sho hot?” He tried to balance himself, but his body was pushed until he was lying down.
“Don’t worry about it…. You’ll like it.”
“What? Shtop,” Katsuki could feel his words thick with saliva. Time felt slow, disorienting him. “I shahid stop.’
Katsuki activated his quirk, injuring the other. “I said stop." He tried standing but fell to his knees. The heat radiating off his body made it easy to activate his quirk; he was sweating as if he had just run a marathon.
I need to sweat out whatever I ingested. The blonde attempted to stand once more to find his clothes. He didn’t know how it happened, but he was positive that Touya drugged him.
Cold hands grabbed him. A tongue was shoved in his throat while a hand pulled his hair back, “Just relax and enjoy yourself.”
Katsuki pushed the alpha, once again using his explosions to move him away. Touya was still stronger; he managed to slap Katsuki, bringing him to his senses. “I’ve waited long enough.”
********
Smack.
Another slap brought Katsuki back to the present. The disorientation did not leave him. I was hoping I wouldn’t recover those memories. I made myself forget before the accident.
His body shook uncontrollably. He hugged himself as Touya continued to slap him.
“Not going to say anything.”
No, I need to protect my baby.
“How dare you think that you could do whatever you wanted. I own you. You’re mine! Once that bastard child is born, I’ll kill him too, and that alpha! You’re always going to be mine, Katsuki. You can never leave me.”
That’s where you’re wrong. Ignore him, baby. Your daddy will save us.
I swear it.
Your daddy will take care of him, and we’ll live happily ever after.
“It’s been two weeks since you told me we would get the location’s information in a few hours. Do you remember that?” His patience had long run out. “Are you here to tell me you’ve magically found it?”
“Yes. I haven’t gone to sleep in three days staring at the satellite footage from all the locations we’ve shut down. There’s only one place they can be.” Despite having no sleep and looking like she would keel over any second now, Mina responded confidently.
When they arrived at the last location, they found it empty. They knew it was the right location when they found drops of blood belonging to Katsuki. Izuku remained calm when he was told that the room appeared to be a medical room.
“It seems that a doctor is seeing him. The blood could be from a blood withdrawal for testing.”
“I rather not assume, but that’s better than assuming he’s harmed.” Izuku’s voice was devoid of any hope of Katsuki and their pup being unharmed. “It won’t do me any good to allow my anger to take over, but how long will we continue this chase?”
The following week, the base they found had more than twenty villains, all of whom had warrants for their arrest. They were arrested immediately, except for the one who was killed for mentioning Katsuki was an object who was only good for sex. Officially, Izuku wasn’t the one who killed the woman.
At that time, they had found more blood, but unlike the first time, it was in the kitchen. Izuku tore apart the room, trying to find a clue as to why his lover had lost a quarter pint of blood.
“If we don’t find him soon, I’ll kill all of the criminals we’ve caught and then some.”
After their failure, the group became even more engrossed in their work. Shoto and Hitoshi were in charge of the investigations, while Mina and Momo used their quirks and influence to obtain all the videos and recordings they could find.
Their efforts resulted in one location that would lead them to the blonde omega.
Hawks entered the facility while everyone changed, “Are you sure that it’s a legit source? What if we’re walking into a trap?”
“So? If it is, we can handle it. We’re strong.” Hitoshi shrugged, “If you don’t want to join us, get out before our briefing starts.”
Eraserhead and Present Mic joined the effort only because they had known Katsuki briefly and felt they owed him something.
“I’m staying, so chill,” the hero sat in his chair. “Ready when you are, boss.”
Izuku had changed into his combat suit. “As Hitoshi said, we don’t care if it’s legit or not. I’m done with waiting around. So here’s the plan.”
The explosions caused debris to rain over Izuku’s group. The hideout they found was underground. The land belonged to a cult that lost power over a decade. Somehow, Shigaraki came to own the land; Izuku assumed it was through All for One.
His group encountered a villain whose quirk made him invisible, except for his eyes. Izuku laughed before binding him with Blackwhip. “I’m sorry, but that was too easy.”
“Fuck you.”
Izuku threw him into the police van and continued forward. His group was the first to enter because their versatile quirks allowed them to sweep the levels faster. The scent of salted caramel was in the air.
You’re here. Wait for me, Katsuki.
The next villain they encountered had a lightning quirk that could only immobilize them for a minute. Hitoshi took care of them and allowed Izuku to continue.
“Leave him to me. He’s weaker than he looks.”
Izuku wondered why the villains were so weak, “Do you think Hawks was right about this being a false lead?”
“Mina wouldn’t lie.” Shoto looked at him wearily.
“No, of course not. I meant that they could have led her astray. Don’t you think they’re all too weak? Shigaraki wouldn’t keep weaklings with him.”
While they ran and talked, the rest of the group dealt with the weak villains.
“Hmm, now that you mention it, they are all rather on the weak side.” Shoto tapped his communication device to connect to Endeavor’s group. “How strong are the villains on your side?”
“They’re average. No one is giving us trouble. We think they sent all the weak ones towards us so that we waste time here while they run away to the next location.”
“Yeah, that’s what I thought.”
From the corner of his eye, Izuku saw a familiar shirt that Katsuki had worn the day of his kidnapping. He followed after the beta, who wore his lover’s shirt. It took less than a minute for Izuku to restrain the villain.
“Where did you get that?”
“My friend gave it to me.” The beta glanced around for help, but she quickly gave up after seeing she was outnumbered. “I haven’t done anything. You’re limiting my rights by being here! Haven’t you heard of the First Amendment?”
Izuku cringed, “How does that apply here? Tell me where you got the shirt before I drop the kind act.”
The woman remained quiet. She chose not to activate her quirk, which led Izuku’s group to believe that her quirk wouldn’t help her.
“If you’re here against your will, we can help you. Do you need our help?” Hitoshi asked.
“No-” her eyes softened as Hitoshi’s quirk took effect.
“Where did you get the shirt?”
“Dabi’s omega didn’t like it anymore.”
“Why?”
“Dabi wouldn’t stop scenting it. I washed it for him, but he refused to put it on.”
“Where is he?”
“On the fourth floor, underground.”
“And Shigaraki?”
“Also on the fourth floor.”
Hitoshi glanced at his friend, waiting for any other questions he wanted.
“Ask her about why Katsuki lost all that blood last week.”
“You heard him.” Hitoshi watched her. She twiddled her thumbs and was uncomfortable, but it was not like he cared. “Was Katsuki hurt? And if he was, by who? Tell us what happened.”
The girl recalled the events of the day. She had witnessed it all. Katsuki refused to eat, demanding to be allowed to cook, and then Dabi beat him until he bled.
“Is the pup okay?” Hitoshi asked before he registered the question. “Fuck, sorry. Shouldn’t have said that so carelessly.”
“The pups are fine.”
Izuku’s eye twitched, “Plural?”
“He’s pregnant with triplets.”
Izuku cracked a smile, the first in weeks. Triplets.
Wow.
Katsuki, I’m coming.
He activated his quirk at 100%. “Toshi, I’ll leave you levels 1-3. I'm going on ahead.” The green-haired alpha broke through the ground until he reached the fourth floor. It was a reckless decision, but nothing could stop him now.
I’m on my way.
“Where are you going?” A raspy voice called out to him. “You just got here.”
Alpha pheromones.
The air was denser. He was at the heart of the operation. “Shigaraki, we meet again. Oh, wait. Should I call you Shimura Tenko?”
Tomura chuckled, “No, you were right the first time.”
Izuku reactivated his quirk, “I don’t have time to waste. Out of my way.”
I can sense Katsuki; he was just here.
“I don’t think so,” Shigaraki smirked.
Shigaraki Tomura, formerly Shimura Tenko, had a tragic past. One that forced him to become a villain after years of grooming. It was inevitable.
All for One had set his eyes on Tomura, then Tenko, and since then, he did whatever he could to keep the child on his side. Tenko had accidentally killed his family, leaving him vulnerable to being taken advantage of.
No one tried or came to save him, so it shouldn’t have come as a surprise that he became twisted after the only person who extended his hand was All for One.
The villain taught him various techniques that he would use to one day destroy those who he hated.
Since he was a child, Tomura knew that he shouldn’t trust All for One. On the day he presented as an alpha, his elder wouldn’t stop laughing about how everything was going according to his plan. Soon enough, he would settle the score with his archenemy, All Might.
Tomura was in pain, screaming for relief as his body changed to accommodate his new senses for his secondary gender while his guardian was more focused on his own agenda. He knew there would never come a day when he would trust the older alpha.
Luckily for All for One, Tomura’s goals aligned with his. All for One wanted to destroy All Might, so One for All would cease to be a thorn in his side, while Shigaraki wished to destroy everything. All for One helped him financially and modified his body to obtain more quirks to help with his goal.
Everything was going according to plan. All for One molded Shigaraki exactly how he wanted. The young alpha’s body would be his, and he would no longer have to deal with an expiration date as he came into power now that All Might was dead.
All for One's plans never came to fruition because of Izuku. The green-haired alpha believed he killed All for One, but all he did was weaken him. Shigaraki dealt the final blow. Because of their teamwork, Shigaraki jokingly thought he and Izuku could have been on the same side.
The President of the FBQ, their equivalent of the number one hero in Japan, stooped low enough to kill. So, he wanted to meet him. It was just his luck that he had met Izuku and Katsuki a few months prior. Before their encounter, Shigaraki’s hair had turned white from reaching perfection. He accepted his crimes and role as the bringer of death.
“You know, I have to thank you.”
Izuku scowled, “And why’s that?”
The green-haired alpha could sense how dangerous Tomura had become. It felt dangerous to be around him.
“Because you weakened All for One, I didn’t become his meat puppet. I was scheduled to become his new body when you allowed me to kill him.”
“I killed him,” Izuku corrected. His instincts were on high alert. He could feel the antagonistic pheromones leaking from his opponent’s body. He didn’t need his Danger Sense quirk to feel how dangerous and bloodthirsty the enemy was.
“No. You repeated the same mistake your master did when they fought decades ago. You didn’t finish the job, but that was fine because I stepped in.” Shigaraki scratched his cheek, “So I should thank you before I kill you.”
It was a hard pill to swallow, Shigaraki could tell. Izuku believed that he had avenged his father by killing his Master. It was a humbling experience for the green-haired man, and he should feel enlightened.
Izuku shook his head, “Whatever the case, that doesn’t matter now. I plan to defeat you.” He activated Full Cowl, “I never expected to work with a villain, even accidentally, but if that means a criminal like All for One is dead, then I can’t complain.”
Shigaraki sighed. It was disappointing. Heroes were so frustrating.
They always stuck to their morals and goals without stepping out of bounds. He thought Izuku was different. The number of times he heard the alpha scream about his intent to kill since they entered his hideout had confirmed his suspicion that Izuku was just as twisted as he was.
“What’re you trying to prove? What’s the point of acting righteous when all you want to do is kill me so you can meet with your lover? It doesn’t make sense.”
He stepped forward until he was a few steps away from the other. His blood lust had settled now that he was disappointed.
“Did you set this all up? Did you want me to kill you so bad that you approached Katsuki and me during Christmas?”
Tomura shook his head. “That was a coincidence. I did want to meet you, my polar opposite, once I realized who you were. As for this, yes. I did set this up. Once I kill you, I can start the rest of my plan. You are the only person threatening my peace and ideal world.”
Izuku felt the ground below him soften before decaying. He jumped backward until he landed on sturdy ground, and he was surprised to see another floor below theirs.
Shigaraki noticed his surprise and smirked. “There are another ten layers before we get to the end. I don’t want to kill you too quickly.”
This is getting pointless. Izuku smirked, “Well, I do.”
“I wasn’t the one who kidnapped your beau.”
“I know. It was Dabi,” Izuku activated float after Shigaraki decayed more of the floor. “It doesn’t matter who kidnapped him because it doesn’t change how I feel. If I don’t kill you now, then I won’t be able to sleep.”
“Aren’t heroes supposed to be on the side of good?” Shigaraki wondered if he could corrupt Izuku if he poked him enough.
“You already know that I’m willing to throw away my morals to kill those who hurt my loved ones. I’m not afraid of getting my hands dirty.” Izuku had learned everything he could about Shigaraki while they pursued Katsuki. “Your life was tragic. Had you received the help you needed instead of being cast away like scum, you could have lived a better life. But I can’t change that, and it’s not like you would accept the help anyway. It’s too late. You’ve hurt too many, and for the sake of Katsuki and my future, I need to stop you right here, right now.”
The air in the area intensified. It felt so electric that you could light a fire. Izuku took a deep breath, waiting for the pin to drop—for Shigaraki to destroy everything.
Meanwhile, Tomura thought to himself. How should I kill you? There are too many options.
Shigaraki chose to destroy five more levels. “There, now we can go crazy,” he chuckled.
Without warning, he sprinted towards Izuku, who evaded his palm. Anything he touches will decay.
The remaining wall behind him turned to dust as the villain’s hand made contact. “It seems like you don’t have the most updated information about my quirk. Don’t worry. You won’t need to know since you’re about to die.”
Fifteen minutes ago…
Katsuki sat on the couch, legs dangling over the side. He had grown accustomed to constant movement and was sure that all the movement wasn’t good for his pups. It was a miracle that they were still with him. They were barely healthy, except one who was weaker than the rest.
The room was empty. The group had gone to another room to prepare for a fight with Izuku’s group.
I’m not going to expect to be rescued. I’ll find my way out so Izuku can focus on his goal of destroying the League. I’m not weak.
“There you are, baby.” Touya smiled at him. “I’ve been looking for you.”
Katsuki rolled his eyes, “I haven’t moved since you swore to beat me again if I moved from my place.”
Touya kissed his cheek, and Katsuki remained in place, albeit disgusted with the action. “So docile, I’ve trained you well.”
Keep cool.
After enduring Dabi’s wrath the past few times, the doctor informed him that if the pups were harmed any further, they would die. Because he had limited options, Katsuki chose to do whatever he had to to keep themselves safe from the psychotic alpha.
“I miss when you used to insult me. You’re not as fun now,” he wrapped his arms around the tense omega. “On the upside, you let me hug and kiss you now, well, except on the lips. Though I do know you’re only trying to placate me so I don’t kill those bastard’s bastards.”
His pheromones felt sour. He was angry.
Katsuki stiffened when the alpha inhaled his caramel scent. “Stop touching me. You’ve already hugged me twice today.”
The alpha released him enough so they could stare at one another. “Are you saying I have a quota?”
“Yes,” Katsuki strained. “Now let go.”
“Fine,” he sighed. “I’ll hug you while you sleep. Maybe kiss you until you beg me for–”
“Stop. I’ve done what you asked. I’m going to the room now. I’ve eaten, so I want to be alone now.”
Touya’s smile dropped, his scent intensifying in displeasure. “Are you trying to make me hit you again? You know I hate to discipline you, Katsuki.”
The blonde stood, “I want to be alone.”
It was reckless to anger him, but Katsuki couldn’t bear the alpha’s scent. The last time he changed clothes to remove the smell, Dabi burned all the clothes he was given.
Ah, I can’t wait to go home.
A sane person would have given up a long time ago.
Katsuki wasn’t rational, especially not when he finally had all of his essential memories. He had found the love of his life, a great support system, a job, and pups on the way. He felt like a rabid dog, ready to risk it all when the time came. So, no, he would not give up.
I just need them to remove the bracelets to use my quirk. If it’s just Dabi and me, it'll be easier to escape.
Was it normal for someone to be so nonchalant about his current situation?
Absolutely not. He’s well aware that he’ll be in therapy for a long, long time.
The reason why he was nonchalant was because Katsuki wasn’t supposed to stress about anything.
He entered the quiet room. This hideout had no windows, so he enjoyed the lack of sunlight. The drab room was filled with storage from its previous owner.
Katsuki sat on his bed—just a tiny cot—but it was better than staying in the same room with everyone from the League. He opened a book he had found in a drawer and read it to his pups.
The blonde kept reading until his eyelids felt heavy. Katsuki yawned before rearranging the blankets on his bed. “Sorry, little ones. Your mama is sleepy,” he rubbed his belly. “I’ll finish it when I wake up.”
The door swung open just as he felt himself falling into a deep slumber. He wasn’t given a second before he was lifted off the bed and thrown over a shoulder.
“What the fuck are you doing?”
Touya scoffed, “Shigaraki is crazier than I thought. He deliberately wants all of us to get caught just as long as he gets to fight that bastard.”
Izuku?
“Why? He’s leading him to a trap that doesn’t make sense.”
Katsuki had heard that the plan was to ambush Izuku and the rest in another location while Katsuki remained in the hospital with the doctor. That is why he planned to run away. The doctor would have been forced to remove the bracelets; otherwise, law enforcement would have been called for improper use of equipment.
The bracelets Katsuki wore were unique. The model was created specifically for the FBQ, and this pair had been stolen from Mina’s apartment. If the police were called and found the pair, Izuku would be alerted within minutes.
And if they managed to remove the bracelets, the authorized would still be called. In his sock wrapped around a thin layer of cotton, Katsuki had a straw-like needle. He found it amongst the books in his storage room slash bedroom.
Luckily for Katsuki, Touya didn’t have time to examine him while asleep. It's a good thing I fell asleep with my socks on.
Katsuki hit Dabi on the back. “Let me go. I can walk.”
Walk the hell away from here and run once I see the exit.
“Do you honestly believe I’m stupid? Even though you’re pregnant, I can feel your pheromones, and you’re up to something.”
“No, I'm not, you’re hurting me. I need to protect my pups.”
Dabi stopped walking, sighing before he continued once more. “The only reason those bastards are alive is because I want to kill them with that bastard.”
“The only bastard is you, you piece of shit.”
“Ah, there he is. My feisty omega is back. Tell me more, baby.”
“Fuck off. I hate you.”
“If I leave you here, you’ll die. Everyone except Shigaraki will die. That’s why this base was chosen." He unlocked a door leading to a dark tunnel.
After ten minutes, Touya opened another door and moved them upstairs. Katsuki held on, not knowing if Touya would try to joke around and scare him by dropping him down the stairs.
The sound of panting and hurried steps kept Katsuki grounded. It was pitch black. He wasn’t sure how Touya could see where he was going.
“I can smell your fear. Good,” he whispered in the blonde’s ear. “Because once we get to the top, you’ll never leave my side.”
Katsuki took a deep breath. His heart beat steadily, and he was confident he could injure the alpha and save himself and the pups.
“I know what you’re thinking,” Touya panted, his pace slowing down as he reached the top.
The moonlight peered in through a small window, and Katsuki strained his eyes so he could see.
Touya chuckled, forcing Katsuki to stand in front of him. “You’ll never leave me. Even when I’m dead, you’ll always remember me… my words, scent, and touch. I’ll always be on your mind.” He moved to kiss the younger man.
Katsuki avoided him, “Do you really think you’re that important to me? I’ll forget you just the way I did when I lost my memories. I couldn’t even remember your face,” he laughed tauntingly. “What makes you think I’ll remember you once I leave? Talk about overconfidence. You’re nothing to me.”
“Are you trying to anger me?” Touya looked to the ceiling in glee. Katsuki used that time to reach for the weapon in his sock. “I swear, baby, you know how to push my buttons. Don’t you know how much I love you?”
Katsuki held onto the needle, hiding it with his forearm. “You’ve never been in love. The only thing in your head is pure delusion. To be honest with you, I only felt hatred for you, but soon enough, even that’ll disappear. Because you’re nothing.” Katsuki smiled.
Touya finally looked at him, “I was afraid of this. Where is this confidence coming from?” The alpha appeared dejected, almost disappointed. “Aw, my baby still feels hope? I should show you why you’re my baby, baby.”
“I was and never will be yours. Why can’t you understand that?” The blonde snorted, “I can see why people say you shouldn’t date just anyone. My insecurity led me to you, and for that, I am reaping what my younger self sowed. Though, I can’t be too mad at myself.”
“Why? Because it led you to that useless alpha? To your precious Deku?!” Touya yelled. “He’s nothing special.”
“I disagree, but there’s no point in convincing you.”
“What makes you so sure that he’ll survive against Shigaraki? Hmm, do you think your alpha can bring down the greatest villain with amplified quirks?” Touya smirked. “That bastard is as good as dead. Too bad I wanted to be the one that killed him.”
“Well, because of that 'bastard,' I got to experience real love. I’ve never been happier. I’m pregnant with his children, and all I can think about is how badly I want him to fuck me.”
Touya stepped forward, raging with fury. “If you want to think about getting your pretty hole fucked, I can do that for you.”
“You see,” Katsuki said confidently. “Because of him, I got to experience so much. Even though he’s far from me, he’s given me the strength to keep going, to believe in him and our love.”
Touya aggressively removed his jacket, his scent filled with unadulterated arousal. “C’mere.”
Katsuki laughed, “Sure thing.” The blonde walked forward as if to pull Touya into a kiss before the alpha could question why he was suddenly obedient. Katsuki stretched out his hand and stabbed Dabi in the jugular vein. “He’s also given me the distraction I needed for this,” he smirked before pushing him down the stairs. “Like I said, delusional.”
The fight between the alphas raged on. The foundation of the hideout was barely holding. Izuku used all the power he could muster before punching Shigaraki until he fell back, unconscious.
“Ha,” Izuku panted. His heart was pounding in his chest. “I-is he alive?” He wanted to give himself a break to regulate his heart rate, but Tomura could not stand at any moment, so he chose to ignore the pain he felt.
The alpha was out cold, somehow still alive. Izuku tested his communications device.
“Fuck, it’s broken…. What should I do?”
Katsuki’s scent had long disappeared when their fighting got out of hand.
Pieces of the previous floors fell around him. Blackwhip kept him safe, “I need to get out of here.”
Just when Izuku was about to kill Shigaraki, the unconscious man activated his quirk. The ground beneath them began to crumble within seconds. Izuku reached out to grab Shigaraki, but it was too late. His quirk destroyed more floors, and his body continued to fall lower and lower.
“Fucking hell,” Izuku used his quirks to follow him but realized it was futile. He pushed himself back to land using Float.
I don’t have much time. I can feel my body screaming at me to stop.
“Ow,” he screamed when a large boulder landed on his shoulder. “Can’t stop now.”
I hope you’re safe, Katsuki.
Izuku didn’t want to stop and think about why he couldn’t find Katsuki or Dabi during the battle.
The muscles in his arms were tearing, but he managed to make it to the top before his body started to crash. People spoke around him, but he couldn’t understand them. It wasn’t until he felt warm, sweet caramel wrap around him that he finally allowed his body to rest.
“I’m back. Sorry that it took so long.” Katsuki cried. His lover’s face was wet with his tears. “The movie was good; you would’ve liked it. Oh, and what I said about being clingy,” he hugged him tight. "Please be more clingy and never let us go.”
