"He is warmth and grace, purity." He turned and looked at the man standing next to him. "He is home." Notes http://moziru.com/images/drawn-sunshine-abstract-9.jpg This is what the soulmark looks like for Yagi. It took me a while to find the right one that would match the two. ^^ Also here is a playlist for this story: https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=pMDcYX2wRSg&list=PLK1UNK5I7PiBx2wc4mNgTCBWoQVLDKUsd Also this is what All Might/Yagi Toshinori looks like: http:// ursulabatur.tumblr.com/post/161632767646/happy-birthday-to-the- greatest-hero-i-love-all ***** Welcome to the world ***** Nothing in this world was simple. Everything was complex and planned from the very beginning. The world was always changing and constantly pushing forward. There was no such things as a shortcut. There wasn't an escape from the plan that fate had planned out. Though for as long as time could tell, there was always one constant thing. Soulmates. Some say that having a soulmate was a blessing, others say its a curse. Some don’t even believe in soulmates. Some thought it was all three, some people even say that it was a very complex system. Something only the Gods knew. There was no logical reasoning for it, nothing, science couldn’t even explain it. Some are markless for years before their soulmate was born. Society loved the idea of soulmates since the dawn of time. It was so common in this world, soulmarks were generally wore out in public. People so desperately wanted to find their other half. To know that they would be loved...to know that they wouldn't be lonely forever. It was a symbol of pride and thing of hope. To know that no one is meant to be alone, that there was someone for everyone, that there was someone how there in the world who would build the sun for them in their tool shed.    For some at least… The main reason some thought of it as a curse was because of the effects it brought along. You stopped aging at a certain point. Usually in your mid to early twenties. Why is it a curse? Well you live a lot longer. Frozen forever in time, until you touched your soulmate. Some end their lives because of the long wait, seen to much, and just want it to all end. Another reason was because you could feel the other in the back of your mind, you could feel their emotions.   It is true...it’s both a blessing and a curse.    =============================================================================== Yagi sat on the edge of his bed, he had been markless most of his life. Nearly thirty years of it. Looking down at his chest, seeing the crest form elegantly. He watched as the carving unfolded and weaved carefully upon his chest. Blood dripping down slowly, he watched it. The wound wasn’t serious, but it would scar. Carefully he dabbed away at the blood with a small hand towel. It stung, but nothing unbearable. He could feel the discomfort flicker in the back of his mind. He grinned to himself. ‘There you are…’ He smiled fondly to himself. Sighing softly, Yagi watched as the crest took its shape. The intricate design, left him breathless, he could feel apart of himself filling, the ache in his heart filled and bloomed with warm. ‘A second heartbeat…’ He thought in bliss, it pounded so elegantly within his breast. ‘I feel you…’ He thought, bliss taking over his features.  Smiling softly,he closed his eyes. ‘Welcome to the world little one.’ He could feel his lips pull back into a smile. Sitting back up, he looked at himself in the full length mirror that was hook upon his door. He stared at the crest, it was marvelous, he felt whole. ‘As All Might, I’ll do a better job, I want you to be able to wake up with a smile on your face and feel safe…’ He stared at the marking on his sternum, his fingers gently brushed over it. ‘Be strong, be kind, and remember to always show love.’ =============================================================================== Inko stared at her son, her green eyes filled with warmth and love. Just mere minutes ago her child had been born, screaming into the world. To her it was the most beautiful sound in the world. She watched as the baby suckled upon her breast, his eyes closed as he fed. “Oh my little Izuku.” She cooed happily as she stroked his chubby little cheeks with her thumb. She pulled the blanket down and looked at his chest, there was an elegant design. She felt warmth bubble up in her chest. ‘Someone loves you.’ She pulled the little white blanket up covering him. “Don’t you worry child, this world has something big planned for you.’ She grinned happily. =============================================================================== There was a time when Yagi used to look at the stars and contemplate the meanings of life. But know, he can’t see the stars. The city was far too bright, leaning against the glass railing. Overlooking the city, he was a young man physically. He had stopped aging at twenty-five. Not that he minded, the lack of aging was decent for him, his body was still flexible, he was limber. So it was easy to do his job and do it well. “Yagi?” The blonde turned and looked at his old friend. “Detective.” He greeted. “You’ve been oddly blissful the last few days, whats up?” “My soulmate was born a few months ago, July fifteenth.” He informed. “Nine months ago…” Yagi’s hand went to his chest, over the marking. “I can feel their heartbeat within my chest, there emotions brushing against my mind.” He informed him. Naomasa smiled at him, he was truly happy for Yagi. “I am happy for you, I do hope you will meet them one day.” He said and leaned against the railing. “Maybe they are here in Japan?” He mused and watched. “Maybe…” Yagi smiled, his blue eyes lighting up. “I will not know until I meet them.” He was excited at the idea. ‘I’ll have to be more careful…’ He thought. Being the number one hero wasn’t all that it was cracked up to be, he was always sent out on the front lines. ‘I’ll have to be very careful.’    =============================================================================== All Might growled lowly as he pushed Toxic Chainsaw to the side, the battle wasn’t something he was expecting. He had simply been at the store buying himself something to eat. When he saw this son of a bitch start some mayhem. Grabbing the villains wrist he slammed him into the ground. Pinning him down to the ground, the villain had his hands pinned to his back. All Might wasn’t in the best condition, his side was killing him. He looked down at it carefully, it wasn’t bad, but the poison was settling in. ‘Shit…’ He thought,  he watched as the police squad take the villain away. Yagi checked himself into the hospital, he was a lucky son of a bitch. He was grazed, the poison was only eating away at the top layer of skin. The doctors flushed out his system with anti-venom and stitched him up. ‘What happened to being more careful?’ He thought bitterly. =============================================================================== Izuku felt uncomfortable, the small baby laid on the ground. Staring up at the bright toys that dangled above him. He could feel his side being all itchy. He kicked his legs out in frustration. He was not a happy baby. His side felt so weird, he whimpered and cried until is mother picked him up. He calmed down after a bit, when he felt something in the back of his head, soothing him, making the pain slowly go away. Curling up into his mom, he closed his eyes and quickly went to sleep. =============================================================================== Yagi stepped out of the hospital, his side was still aching, but not as bad. The doctor had informed him that he would make a full recovery. For now, he needed to rest. Walking down the sidewalk, he headed towards the bus stop, his home was a couple of miles away. He saw a young woman with a stroller clasped in her hands. The man slowly walked passed them and stopped at the bench. Glancing at them, he saw they looked very much alike. Green hair, pale skin. Rather plain looking, but they stood out, with such warmth radiating from them. He looked down at the baby, he had wide green eyes, taking in his surroundings, in his small chubby hands was a small yellow rabbit. “Your son is adorable.” He commented. “Oh thank you.” She grinned at him. “His name is Izuku, he is only nine months.” She grinned happily. She looked down at her child who was now looking at the blonde man. “He looks just like you.” He waved at the small baby, and watched as his face lit up. “How cute.” He cooed happily. Seeing just a bright smile warmed him. He looked away when he saw the bus. “This your bus?” “Yes, you have a good day sir, and please get well.” She grinned at him, she stood up from the bench and got onto the bus. He waved at them goodbye. ‘What a cute little family.’ He leaned back and waited. ***** This isn't awkward at all ***** Chapter Summary Hahaha.....why? "You know, times like these it's a good thing to ask what you are willing to put up with today, not fucking this!" Enji snapped as he looked at the damage before him, he wasn't happy with what All Might had done. "Couldn't you know, not make a mess of things?" He growled out. "You could have gotten someone hurt!" His tone was exasperated. "I expect you to do your job, and do it well, not act like some noob, you're the number one hero start acting like it!"  "Chill, it's not like I meant for this to happen!" Yagi replied. "And it's not like I can control the villains actions!" He snapped back. "And you are acting like I am the one at fault here, I didn't do this!" He gestured to the ruined building.  "No, but you could have prevented it." Enji then sighed and dropped his hands to his sides. "Just be more careful alright?" He said, he felt like a broken record.  Yagi shook his head and crossed his arms over his chest. "I know..." He had made a rookie mistake today. He had been far too eager to get to action. He was flighty today. "I'm just flighty today, and no it's not an excuse." The blonde pushed his hands through his hair, pushing his bangs from his face. "Anyways how's Shouto?" He inquired. "I hear from your wife that he plans on joining UA."  "He is okay, I am very proud of him." Enji looked grateful for the change in subject. "He has been working so hard over the years to be a hero, he makes me so proud." The man felt himself calming down as he through about his family. "He is gonna make a great hero one day, I just know it." He smiled warmly. "He is a good kid, a bit closed off and stiff, but I am hoping that he will make some friends to pull him out of his comfort zone."  "I am sure he will." Yagi stretched his arms above his head. "How is Kyoko doing?"  "She is doing great, she just got out of the hospital last week and she is adjusting well, she is on new medication." He informed. "Hopefully it will ease her suffering a bit, Shouto is stoked about having her around again, he is such a mama's boy." Enji chuckled. The red head looked so happy, a slight blush on his features. "To this day, I look at her and get so flustered, and having her back home...well it's like falling in love all over again..." The man confessed. "I've missed her dearly, not having her around hurt more than anything." His hand moved to his wrist as he stroked the marking on the flesh.  Yagi watched Enji, he couldn't help but feel happy for him. He smiled and patted his back. "She really is lucky to have you Enji." He grinned. "I am positive that she will be alright." He informed him, sounding so confident. "After all, she is a strong women."  "That she is!" The red head looked excited. "I'm taking her out on a date, back to where we had our first date at Miko's Diner." He rocked on his heels. "I've asked them to play the song that we had our first kiss too." The man was practically floating on cloud nine, his blue eyes shined with life. He looked at Yagi. "I'll let you know how it goes." He was breathless.  Yagi hadn't seen Enji this happy in years, the man looked so alive today, his eyes shining with vigor, a spring n his step. "I look forward to it, are you getting her flowers?"  "I did, she loves Daisies and Buttercups, so I got her a large bouquet." He informed. Enji walked down the sidewalk, ignoring the looks he was getting from the civilians. "Kyoko will love it, she has always loved flowers." He hummed in delight. "Just thinking about her all dressed up, makes my hands all sweaty." He admitted. "Though...I am very nervous as well..."  Yagi walked after them, they had been heading back to Endeavor's agency. "Why are you nervous?" He inquired to him softly. "Is it because you two haven't gone out on a date in a while?"  "That and the fact, that whenever I see her...I get butterflies in my stomach, and my heart beats so face that I fear she an hear it." The man confessed to him. "She makes me feel like a kid again, seeing her eyes glow so brightly, her smiles, her laughter." He blushed a bit. "I get so flustered, she makes me stutter so much." Enji rubbed the back of his head. "Being with her is like falling in love all over again." The man was a sap and he knew it. "I do hope, I make her feel the same way."  Yagi smiled warmly at the man. 'He has missed her so much, the pain he has endured all by himself, being alone for so long, going each and every day for years.' Yagi could only imagine the pain Enji had gone through. "I am sure that she feels the same way." He assured him once more. "It's Kyoko for heaven sakes, back in high school she was completely gaga over you, hell she said yes to you did she not?"  "I know, I know." The walked up the steps to his business. "She has changed over the years, and yes I am completely okay with that...I just have to relearn her over again is all." He mumbled. Opening the doors he let All Might in first. He watched as the man powered down into his true body. It always marveled him how the man could just change his boy on a whim. His features softened and his uniform sagged a bit.  Yagi nodded his head and walked towards the desk. Signing in he grabbed his visitors pass and clipped it to his uniform. "Well now you have all the time in the world." The blonde stated. He looked into the man's eyes. "Trust me Enji, things will work out." He put his hands on Enji's shoulders. "You both love one another so much, and as far as I can tell have a near perfect relationship." He patted both shoulders before dropping his hands.  Enji nodded his head. "Yeah yeah, thanks for listening though." He smiled at the hero.  "Thank you for letting me." All Might grinned back. "Lets go get changed, I rather you not be late for your date, and I need to make a run for dinner today." He informed. "I'm having soba today."  =============================================================================== Yagi looked through the isle on the store, staring at the Flour. He held the sack in his hand. He was looking at the brands. "Toshi's or Nahi?" He thought. "Toshi." He nodded his head and put the Buckwheat flour in his cart. He grabbed some veggies to fry on the side. Grabbing himself something to drink, mostly some oolong. He shuffled his way to the cashier and paid for his things.  Upon stepping out he had taken notice of the crowd, his eyes quickly caught sight of the villain. His eyes narrowed, he allowed himself to power up before taking off after the villain. 'What a slippery bastard.' He thought, he could feel his mind getting hazy with panic. This confused him, the second heart beat pounding in his chest frantically. 'Could it be?' He wondered briefly to himself. All Might made his way through the alley and into the sewers, trudging through them quickly. He was fearing the worst. He found his way upward, he popped off the man cover. Letting is soar through the air before landing. Quickly he made his way up onto the surface. His blue eyes took in the sight before him, a small teen was held in the villain's clutches. "Have no fear you are safe, why for I am here!" He announced, getting a hold of their attention. All Might saw a loft of green, he could feel his his lungs ache for air, as if he were drowning. 'I see...' He thought.  He watched as the sludge villain attack, lunging out quickly. All Might swiftly dodged it and pulled back his fist. "TEXAS SMASH!" He cried with valor, he watched with mild interest as the Sludge Villain was quickly turned into a massive mess, with goo splattering everywhere. All Might stood straight, he panic and sting he felt within his body and mind lessoned, a sudden calm rushed over him. He took in the sight of the green haired teen before him. The boy was out of it.  'I'll tend to him in a moment.' All Might thought, he dumped out two of the tea bottles he had bought and quickly and easily bottled off the villain, shoving them into his pockets, he wandered over to the green haired teen. He bent over and tapped on the boys face repeatedly. "Wake up, hey." He called out softly. He was concerned for the lad, though as far as he could tell the boy was fine.  Within seconds the boy had opened his eyes and blinked, green eyes locked with his and in a split second he screamed and bolted away from him. 'This kid.' He thought fondly. placing a hand on his hip. "Well it looks like you are moving around alright." He mused as he shrugged his shoulders. 'I'm glad the boy is alright.' He felt so many emotions swarm his mind, glee, fear, excitement, and happiness. He felt so much warmth though, the kid was genuinely excited to meet him. 'I wondered if he notices.' He thought. "Usually I pay more attention, keeping civilians out of harm's way." He informed, he held up the bottle. "But no to worry for I have caught the evil doer." He announced with pride. 'And saved my soulmate...what a day.' He then shoved the bottles into his pockets. "That reminds me." He stated. "Why are you out here all alone?"  The green haired boy seemed to calm at the question. "I um...I always take this way." He informed All Might. "Oh and thank you for saving me!" The teen jumped up, looking franic. "I um, can I have your autograph!" He patted himself down. "I know I have a pen here somewhere!" He cried out, looking around him. He sighed softly when he found his notebook, and lifted it up. "Oh, you already signed it." He boy said, he looked so delighted and happy.  "Of course, anything for my fan!" All Might laughed in delight. He crossed his arms over his chest. "Stay safe young man!" He then turned to walk away, he would try to find him again. "I have to turn in this villain to the police station!" He informed as he got ready to jump.  "Wait."  "Stand back, I am taking off!" He informed, not wanting to hurt the small teen. 'He is so tiny.' He thought as stared at the ground. He launched himself up into the air. "Thanks for your continued support!" He shouted. His voice carried through the wind, echoing just a tad. He blinked when he felt some added weight on his leg. "Kid what are you doing!?" He shouted, not at all impressed. 'Does he know?' He shook his head mentally at that. 'I doubt it.'  "I have so many questions I have to ask you!" He heard the kid shout at him. His hair flying through the air as they flew. The boy had his eyes closed and his face was pressed against his leg.  All Might sighed heavily. "Alright."  =============================================================================== All Might landed on the top of the roof and let the boy off. "You crazy kid, you could have gotten hurt." He scolded, he watched as the kid had the audacity to look bashful if not ashamed. The blonde crossed his arms. "Alright, you said you had questions?" He inquired to him softly. "Ask away."  The boy looked delighted, though it was quickly wiped from his face. He looked at the ground and closed his eyes, his whole body becoming stiff. "Can I become a hero, even if I am quirkless?" He all but shouted. The look of desperation on his face. "Can even, a quirkless person be even be like you?" He asked, his eyes shut tightly.  "You're quirkless..." He mumbled out, he was surprised. He tilted his head to the side, looking at the boy carefully.  The boy held his collar, bending over as if trying to prevent all the pain inside him from leaking out. All Might could feel the ache wound so tightly on his heart and mind. He could feel his own heart shatter, there was so much loneliness. He felt as though he was being swallowed up by it. The emotional turmoil, and the raw fear. He gritted his teeth  little bit, pushing it back. He needed to listen to the teen finish his story.  "I have no quirk, so I'm constantly made fun of by everyone...maybe it's not just because I'm quirkless..." His voice getting softer. "I don't really know why, I just think saving people is the coolest, most awesomest thing ever." The teen explained to him. His hands pulled from his collar, forming a gentle fist. He lifted his head up, his expression bright and warm, though there were tears pooling in his eyes. "I want know no fear and save people with a smile!" He expressed himself. "I want to be a legendary hero like you!"  "A smile that knows no fear..." All Might sighed and sat on the ground. This boy had the wrong idea, though it was a pleasant one. He lifted up his shirt and showed the boy his scar, he watched as the kid flinch, fear coating his face. He looked utterly disgusted. "This is a wound a villain gave me fifteen years ago..." He informed him.  "Yeeck!"  He looked at the boy, he had calmed a bit. Dropping his shirt he sighed softly.  "Fifteen years ago...was it your fight with Toxic Chainsaw?" He tentatively asked. Though he looked more concerned know then disgusted. He smiled faintly at the kid and nodded his head. "You know your stuff." He leaned back against the bar. "I haven't told the the public my condition..." He informed. "It aches and brings me great pain on a day to day bases, my stomach and lungs are damaged a bit, but nothing I cannot handle, and yes I have made a full recovery." He informed. "Well as much as it could."  "So I ask you to keep this a secret," he looked at the ground. "Tell no one," he looked back up at the boy. "Not even your mother." He sighed heavily and stood up. "The "Symbol of Peace"  who always rescue innocence with a smile," he looked into the boys green eyes. "Must never succumb to the forces of evil." He allowed himself to power down from this form, he relaxed his tired muscles. The boy grew even more shocked by his appearance. "The reason I laugh is to deceive myself and distract from the pressure and terror that dwells within me." He watched as the boy flinched and looked down. He looked scared.  "A pro is always laying his or her life down on the line, so I just can't bring myself to tell you, that you can do it even without a quirk." He told the boy. He hated this part, he could see the kid's hopes and dreams fall apart. The sting in his heart. Putting a hand over his chest, he blinked away the tears that gathered up in his own eyes. He shook his head. He was going to regret this.  "If you aspire to safe people, there is always the police force." He informed him. "Villain custody is often a thankless job, but that's a job worthy of praise." He informed. He dusted off his pants. "...I won't denigrate dreaming." He walked passed him to the door and opened it. "That being said, you need to see reality for what it is." He looked back at him. "I regret telling you this, but I am sure you can feel it." With that he walked down the steps. 'I am truly sorry.' He thought. He could feel the boy's pain swirling within him. It was worse than ever before. He could feel his heart shatter all over again. 'Please forgive me kid.' He made it to the entrance of the building. "Now let's get you to the stat-" He reached for his pockets only to find them empty. His heart slammed against his ribs. 'No...' He thought. 'Son of a bitch!' He cursed. He heard the explosion and looked towards the area.  =============================================================================== Izuku walked towards the scene of the crime unknowingly. He looked around and saw a crowd of people. 'What the?' He thought, staring at the crowd, his eyes stung sharply with tears. 'I came by habit...to see the heroes...' He moved forward, crossing the street. 'I should just quit already, it's hallow now.' He bit his lip catching a peek of the action. He was taken back, 'Him again?' He stepped back, his eyes going wide. 'What is he doing here...didn't...'  "It's...it's my fault!" He gasped out, he quickly cupped his mouth his both hands. He felt ill, his stomach turned. Bile rose to his throat.  "Why are all the heroes standing still?" One man asked, clearly confused by the situation. And it seemed he wasn't alone in the confusion. Though one man seemed to have the answer. "It seems a middle schooler was taken hostage."  'He swallowed somebody else.' He could taste the bile in his mouth, quickly he swallowed it. Not wanting to throw up, no matter how he wanted too. 'Will he or she be able to bare that excruciating pain?' He thought to himself, his heart was aching for them. He could hear the confused and irritated chatter of the people staring out at the scene. Clearly they wanted the heroes to save the child.  'It's all my fault...All Might I'm so sorry...' He felt sweat dripping down the side of his face. ' And now the villain can't be captured, they need to wait for a hero with a quirk that'll work against him!' He looked around, he stared at the villain, he could feel his blood turn to ice. 'Hang in there, I'm sorry!' He cried out mentally. 'I'm so sorry, somebody will come to save you soon!' He promised. 'Someone...a hero will...' He caught sight of the person. Familiar blood red eyes stared at him. Without even thinking, Izuku moved. Pushing through the crowd and doudging the surprised heros. His green eyes never looking away from the scene.  "YOU IDIOT STOP, STOP, STOP!"  'What am I doing...why am I running?' He asked him as he quickly made his way to Katsuki. He hadn't even realized that he dropped his notebook to the ground, letting the pages spill.  "I'll blow you to pieces." The sludge villain growled lowly as he stared at the green haired kid, his red eyes filled with anger and hatred.  "Eek!" He squirmed a little. 'What do I do, what do I do?' He thought in a frenze panic. He then recalled a page in his notebook. Swiftly he pulled off his pack and flung it at the sludge monster. Some of his things spilled out and he managed to blind the villain. Quickly he made his way and crawled at the villains face, trying his damndest to free his childhood friend. Fear was coursing through his veins like ice. "KACCHAN!" "What are you doing here!" Said teen cried out, though the boy did look relieved but only for a second.  "My legs moved on their own, I don't know why!" Izuku exclaimed, panic clear in his voice and face. 'I could have spouted off any sort of quips, but really...' He looked up, his eyes filled with fear, but he smiled. "It's because your eyes were pleading for help!"  Izuku felt anger fill his mind, the second heart beat slammed in his chest.  "St...op." Katsuki whimpered out. "It'll take a little longer, don't get in my way!" The villain shouted as he lifted up his arm to attack. "You wanna kill yourself, than die for nothing!"  Izuku felt so small, he held his breath, but warmth filled him. A protective feeling swam through him, he felt a large hand grip both his and Katsuki's arm. "I chewed you out for something I nearly didn't put into practice just now!" All Might stated. "A pro always puts his life on the line!" He reared back his fist. "DETROIT SMASH!"  The blast was so impactful the the weather had changed, the sky began to change, rain filled the city around them. Washing the day away. All Might stared at the two kids on the ground. "..."  =============================================================================== Getting away from the press was rather easy. 'Boy where are you?' He thought desperately as he made his way through the small town. He had seen him go in this direction. The man was in relief as he saw green. He stopped his run and panted a little bit, his side ached in protest. Standing up, he allowed himself to relax. The twenty-five year old stood and looked at the boy who was staring back at him with shock.  "All Might what are you doing here!" The boy screamed in shock. "Weren't you surrounded by the press!?"  The man smiled at him softly. "I managed to give them the slip," his voice softer. "And please calm down, I rather not have the whole neighborhood in on this." He informed. Blue eyes danced with glee and warmth as he looked at the teen. "I rather them not know of my soulmate as well, you know villains don't take to kindly to such things." He watched as the boy flinch, pain etched into his face.  "I'm not your soulmate...I can't be..."  "And yet you are." He informed softly. "Do you have a mark upon your chest, shaped like the sun?" He inquired to him gently, as he stood straight.  "How di-" Green eyes wide with surprise.  Yagi lifted his shirt completely showing him the teen his soulmark. "It's..." The boy whispered as he touched his own chest. "We.."  "We are soulmates." Yagi informed him, finishing the kids sentence. "I knew from the moment I saw you being held captive by the sludge, I felt as though I was drowning, a sting in my lungs." The youthful hero explained. "And right now, I feel shock, disbelief, happiness." He tilted his head to the side. "Pain...a deep rooted pain."  The boy looked at the ground. "But I am not here to talk about that..." Yagi informed him. "At least not right now..."  The boy lifted his head and looked up at him, confusion swirling in his green eyes. "What are you here for?"  "Kid, I came here to thank you." He informed. "And to set the record straight...as well as give you a suggestion." Standing firm, Yagi stared at the confused teen. "Huh?"  "If you hadn't been there...If I hadn't heard you story..." Yagi started, he could already feel a surge of emotions bloom in his chest. "Then I would have gotten dangerously close to not living up to my own words!" He informed him, he felt strong disgust for himself. He watched the boy's expression shift to shock. "To being all talk flashing my fake muscles...thank you."  "Fake muscles?" The boy mumbled. "but it's all my fault to begin with..." The boy looked so mournful, he was truly ashamed of himself. "If I hadn't interfered with your work...and spoke out of turn...even though I am quirkless..."  "But that's just it." Yagi finally spoke, causing the boy to look at him once again. "All the people at the scene only you, only cowardly quirkless you, made a difference." Yagi told him, the boy was surprised. Something inside clicked. "You're the one who made me act." The blonde hero confessed.  The boy was trembling. Emotions were overflowing, to many at once.  "There's something that said about top heroes when they were still students." He spoke softly. "Most of their stories were linked by the following line: "My own body moved before I could think!"." Yagi watched as the boy fell in on him, dropping to the ground. There was so much raw pain inside him, but there was a flicker of hope.  "And you did the same thing!" Yagi shouted at the boy.  "Yeah..." The boy managed to squeak out. A damn broke within him. Causing everything he ever felt, all the pain, the frustration, the hope.  "You can become a hero." Yagi informed him, his voice strong. He watched as the boy cry out everything. The tears fell like waterfall, soaking into the cement. ***** Inheritance and Partnership ***** Chapter Summary Training is harder then one thought Izuku hiccuped and held his chest as he sobbed his heart out. He had been dying to hear those words ever since he had found himself Quirkless. His mind, body, and soul had been crushed. Words had battered at is heart, leaving it broken and scattered.  "Whaa! Midoriya? You're kidding, dude?'  "You don't even have a fucking "Quirk", so where do you get off putting yourself the same level as me!?  "You should just give up already." "Izuku, I'm so sorry, so sorry!"  'I just wanted someone to tell me that I could become a hero,' Izuku thought. 'And to be told by the hero I most admire, nothing could feel more incredible!' Izuku thought, he wiped his face. He could feel warmth blossom in his chest. A tenderness brushed against his mind, his soulmate...All Might was trying to comfort him.  "You're the one who is worthy to bare my strength." All Might said, moving forward. Walking towards the teen who was still on the ground.  Izuku looked at him, his eyes wide with confusion. "Huh?"  All Might laughed joyously at Izuku's confused expression. 'How adorable!' Yagi thought as he chuckled to himself. "That expression on your face!" He smiled, feeling his body shake a bit. He calmed down and settled, looking at the kid with a warm expression. His eyes twinkling with delight as he looked upon his soulmate. "It's just a "suggestion" for now." Yagi became serious. "Listen up boy, cuz your true test is just beginning..." He pointed at the kid. "It simple a matter whether or not you'll try your damndest to aborse my power!" Yagi exclaimed.  Izuku wiped his face and stared at his soulmate in confused. 'You're power?' He thought, he didn't understand. 'What are you saying All Might?'  Sensing his confusion, Yagi relaxed his stance and dropped his hand. Another smile gracing his lips. "I'm talking about my Quirk kid." Yagi held out his hand to the boy. "What's your name by the way?" He inquired to him. "My real name is Yagi Toshinori." He introduced himself.  "Izuku, Izuku Midoriya..." The teen said, taking All Might's hand he stood to his feet.  "A good strong name." Yagi complimented, he watched as the boy flushed. He smiled softly at him. "Anyways back to business, do you know that magazine called "Friday", they had my quirk down as some generic boost of super strength." He informed him. Yagi wasn't impressed by this, the press were far too nosy for their own good. "I always evade the topic with some strategically well placed zingers whenever it comes up in interviews." He watched the boy nod and adjust himself.  "You see, it wouldn't do if the all mighty "Symbol of Peace", were not in fact a "Natural Born Hero"." He looked at the sky, his arms spread wide. "My Quirk is a power like a sacred torch of legend that comes passed one barer to the next."  "Huh, your Quirk can be inherited!?" The boy was so confused and maybe even a little sick. He was very startled to learn such things, though Yagi didn't blame him at all. It was in fact rather unheard of.  "That's right kid." He felt the wind ghost over his body, his shirt fluttering a bit, revealing his scar. "And I've tagged you as the next one in line." He informed him, he was amused by the boy's expression. He placed his hands on his hips, watching the boy mutter frantically, he was trying to make sense of it. 'The boy...' Yagi thought.  "What, huh, hold on!" The boy was trying to get a grip on the situation." It's certainly the case that the nature of All Might's Quirk is clamously debated as one of the "Seven Great Mysteries"-some days I've barely seen the sunlight, researching the matter on the net-But a Quirk to be inherited?" The boy looked so lost in his thoughts and mind. "No, I can't wrap my mind around it, I've never heard such a thing." Izuku felt himself getting dizzy. "Not even in the most fanfical conjecture, and why?" He questioned, still muttering to himself. "Because recorded history as left us no trace, not the slightest inking it could be possible." The muttering continued. "Everyone has their own individual, inborn trait which makes up the fundamental factor by which they may establish themselves, and that is precisely the reason they exhibit special-" Yagi found the kid to be impressive, his knowledge on the subject was quite detailed. 'He is one smart kid.' He smiled fondly at the kid as he continued to mutter on the subject. But after a bit, he calmed the kid. "Jeez, enough kid!" He smiled at him, tilting his head back. "Don't immediately dismiss the possibility." He dropped his head and looked at the kid. "That's a bunch of nonsense."  "Non-" "There is a lot I keep to my chest, but I don't tell lies!" Yagi informed the startled kid. Holding out his hand, he felt the One for All surge though his body, wrapping him up like a heavy blanket. "It's the power to transfer power, and the name of that vaunted ability to which I've been interested is none other than,One for All."  "One for All..." Izuku mumbled, he could feel a stroke of power lick at his mind and gently caress his being. 'He is sharing it with me...the feeling is so strong...' Izuku felt so warm and safe.  "One man cultivates this power, that man grants it to another, and again it fostered, and passed down..." He looked at the boys astonished expression. "In doing so, brave hearts unwavering calls to save lives can burish this might."  "Why are you giving someone like me, this power?" Izuku inquired to him softly.  "I've been searching for a successor for ages," Yagi informed him. Holding up a finger, one arm wrapped around his chest. "And now I've finally come across someone I wouldn't mind giving it too." He stated. "And no it's not because you are my soulmate, but for what you did today, saving that boy." He smiled softly, dropping his arms. "You, who despite no Quirk, and being a mere powerless fan of Heroics, you were the one who shinned more brightly than those so-called "Heroes"."  Izuku felt his eyes water once more, he tilted his head back and scrubbed his his eyes, not wanting to shed more tears.  "But hey, its still your decision to make, of course! So what do you say?" Yagi asked him, a warm smile graced his features as he stared at the boy.  'To think he'd tell me all of this, to think he'd go so far as revealing his deepest secrets to me!' Izuku thought, he was so touched and so very honor to be able to accepted. To be told such things. '...could there be any...no there can't be...there is one I can think of.' The boy thought. He looked at All Might, he felt determination swell up inside him. "Yes please!" 'Any reason to refuse...'  Yagi pressed his head to his forehead, a grinned lighting up his face. His own eyes filling with determination and excitement. "Now there's a quick reply, just what I was expected you rascal."  =============================================================================== -Two days later, At six in the morning- However earning One for All proved to be no easy feat. It definitely wasn't a skip down a field of daisies that's for sure! Yagi sat on top of the fridge, his legs tucked under his chin. Watching the boy struggle was a bit amusing for the older man. He watched as the kid made tracks in the sand. Around the kid's arms rested thick ropes that most likely dug painfully into his shoulders. "Hey, hey, hey! This fridge makes for a fine seat!" Yagi said, he was in "All Might" mode. He looked so delighted as he sat upon the appliance. "I'm kinda glad you haven't moved it yet, I'm getting comfy up here." He watched with great amusement as the boy face planted in the sand. "Hahaha!"  "C'mon All Might don't you weigh like two hundred and seventy-four kilos?"  "Nope, I lost some weight I am now two hundred and fifty-five kilos." He grinned at the boy. "Like my figure?" He teased Izuku a little bit, the boy always amused him. His expressions were always open and he was so very expressive.  Izuku was flustered by the older man, he calmed down after a moment. "By the way, why are we here at Seaside Park? Hauling garbage?"  "Aren't you just precious!" All Might pulled out his phone and snapped some pictures, he laughed a bit at the boy's expression. He chuckled to himself as he found the right one, deleting the others. "That's because you aren't a proper vessel silly!"  "EHH!!" Izuku cried out. "Isn't that the opposite of what you told me before!?"  Jumping from the fridge, the blonde hero walked towards Izuku. His hand out, snapping pictures of the distressed teen. He took great pleasure in the boy's mild suffering. "it's your body." He informed. "Say cheese!"  Izuku turned his head to look at him, clearly he wasn't happy with the situation or being made fun off.  The youthful hero grinned as he snapped another picture. "Think of All for One as a sum convergence of the peak strength of countless men!" All Might said to him, his blue eyes locked on his phone's screen. "A body that's too weak wouldn't be able to handle such raw power." He turned off the screen and pocketed his phone and looked at the boy. "In other words, your limbs would blow off, and your boy would scatter." He explained bluntly. The horror on the boy's face made All Might chuckle a bit, the boy was so imaginative.  "Not my limbs!" The boy cried out. The boy sat in the sand, hugging himself for comfort. "Right so...in order to build up my body to that level, I am hauling trash?"  "Yes, but that's not the whole story!" All Might gave the boy a thumbs up, delighted that the kid got the idea. "I found this Seaside park on the net yesterday." He started to explain. "It was left to rot like this for who knows how many years."  "Ohhh, so all this stuff floated in from the ocean currents and piled up here and we're going to ignore all the illegal dumping to take advantage of it?" Izuku watched All Might carefully.  All Might placed his hand on top of the fridge. "The young crop of heroes these days are obsessed with flashiness." With ease he pushed down on the large machine. "But the heroes game ought to be a labor of love." The man told Izuku. "Call it "Plain" all you like, but I won't let the fundamentals get fuzzy." The hero pushed down the machine, flattening it with ease. "Let's resuscitate this place's horizon!" All Might felt emotions bloom within his chest, he felt wonder, bliss, amazement, determination, and hope.  "Mark this day boy, for this is your first step to becoming a hero!"  =============================================================================== The months went by so quickly, Yagi was impressed with his young soulmates determination. He had quickly come to adore the small teen, the boy had gone through so much in his life. He pushed himself so hard, worked himself to the bone to get to where he wanted to be.  Today was the day that the kid would be going to the entrance exam, he felt the brush of anxiety and nervousness against his mind. He felt the flutter of Izuku's heart. The kid was to hard on himself.  Yagi got out of his 1967 chevy impala, he locked it up and headed towards the beach. He was startled by the triumph scream, looking up with wide eyes he saw Izuku standing on top of the trash. His shirt off, the sun was reflecting off him brilliantly. "Oh...my...Goodness!" Yagi quickly bolted to the beach, he watched as the boy fell from the top of the pile. With ease the man caught the teen, before he hit the ground. Yagi starred at the mark that carved so elegantly in the boy's chest. It matched his completely. He smiled warmly.  "I...I did it..." The boy panted, he looked utterly tired. Sweat covered every inch of his boy.  "You've earned a rest." Yagi said softly as he held the boy in his arms. 'This kid.' He thought warmly. "You did an astonishing job of it too!" Yagi carefully set the boy down. "Especially for a teenager!" Yagi was so proud of the kid, he made sure that the kid could feel his pride and happiness. The boy looked so touched and happy from the emotions.  "Here have a look at this." The youthful man said as he held up his phone for the kid to see. "This was you ten months ago!" The informed. "Now look at you." The blonde gestured to him, the boy was ripped. "You've only just reached the faintest image of the path that lies ahead!" Yagi stated to him, his arms spread out beside him. "But you are a bona fide vessel now!"  Izuku looked at his hand, a soft expression on his face. "I feel like I cheated somehow." He stated, catching the blonde a little off guard with his wording. "You went so far for me All Might, and I feel...too blessed." He felt his eyes burn as the tears rolled down his cheeks and fell to the sand.  Yagi looked at the boy. 'What is this all of a sudden, it was all you boy.' Yagi thought as he watched the boy cry for a bit. He felt as though Izuku needed to get it out. After a bit, he patted the boy on the back. "Quit being such a cry baby, now is your time for your reward!" He explained to him. He reached up and pluck a single strand of hair from his head.  "Yes...sir..." Izuku managed to mumble out. He rubbed his face, riding his face of the tears. He turned to face All Might fully.  "You know what they say right?" Yagi asked him, "There's a difference between something you were born with out of pure luck, and something you won after busting your ass for it." The hero held up his hand. "Now puff out your chest and be proud, this is the power you earned fair and square." Yagi informed him. 'I like that look on his face.' He thought, those green eyes stared up at him full of emotions.  "Now eat this!" He said.  Izuku.exe has stopped working. "Come again?"  ***** This wasn't planned ***** Chapter Summary All Might has the anger! Chapter Notes http://jamrockkid89.tumblr.com/post/159516381632/boku-no-hero- academia-all-might-present-mic-and I seem to have found a better picture of him! Yagi had watched the boy run off towards his home. He smiled fondly at the teen. 'He is going to be great.' He thought, he knew he was going to get in. 'He has the makings  of greatness in him.' Yagi walked towards his car and slipped inside. He looked at the steering wheel, his eyes glazed over a bit. 'Izuku...'  "If I don't work a dozen times harder than everyone else, I'll stumble and fall...I want to be a hero like you, I want to be as strong as the strongest hero!"  Those words never faded, he felt as though the kid had etched it into his own soul. He smiled faintly and looked up to stair at the horizon. "That kid's gonna go places." He repeated to himself. He looked away and down at the seat next to him. There was a small brown baggy and some papers. Soulmate registration order Class s: Hero. Yagi had forgotten them over the last ten months, he had been more concerned for the boys training. 'I'll hand them to him during class.' He thought softly. Grabbing the bag that rested on top he opened it up and pulled out a orange pill bottle. 'One blue pill a day.' He thought to himself, he looked at the Sertraline.' He opened it up and popped one of the pills into his hand. Grabbing is tea he downed it. Putting the bottle into the bag he set it off to the side. 'I'll catch some breakfast and then head into work, I wanna see how my boy works on the field.' He grinned in delight. He pulled out of the parking space and headed off towards the busy town.  =============================================================================== Yagi sat in his seat, next to Aizawa. He was leaning back and staring at the screen passively, he was liking some of the kids here, others no so much. 'Where is Izuku?' He thought, his eyes searching the screen.  "What's with the pensive expression darling?"  Yagi turned and looked at the owner of the voice, a fond expression slipped on his face. "Midnight." He greeted. "And nothing really, just observing the crowd." He informed. "There are a few here that do seem worthy of entering, some not so much." He explained. "This Bokugo character has great potential, though he lust for battle and blood," he informed. "He is too wound up, things will get too personal for him." He looked at the blond. "He is a diamond in the rough, this school will surely polish him into a great hero." Yagi looked at the others.  "The red head, Eijirou Kirishima has a great fighting spirit, he has saved two people from the rubble, he though has seemed too distracted, but not enough to cause friction, he too will be a great hero." He gathered as he stared at the redhead on the screen who was busy helping the others.  "Tenya Iida, top of his class in almost every way, he is strong, level headed, and seemed to think clearly before he acts, though he is uptight and too focused on the task." He explained further. Yagi was on a roll with them, he was feeling confident in his abilities to spot a good hero. "I'm impressed darling," Midnight cooed as she seated herself beside him and leaned properly in the seat. "You always did have a good eye when spotting future heroes." She mused. "But what about the green haired boy." She said pointing to the small teen.  "Izuku Midoriya, far too anxious, a bit of a spaz." He commented and leaned forward as he watched him rescue the girl from the rubble by smashing the zero pointer. "But a true hero." He mused with a soft smile. 'That's my boy Izuku.' He thought, he held up a nine for the boy. 'He will work on your flaws another day...welcome to the hero world little one.' Standing up he handed in a point card to one of the other heros and promptly left the room. 'I do hope that Izuku is okay.' He thought. He felt the pain all over his body, his legs, arms, and hand ached. It felt like molten lava had been poured into his veins. 'Shit.' He thought, 'I really fucked up.' He grimaced. After a few moments he felt the pain leave, he was left with a more tired feeling then anything. 'Recovery Girl, you are a blessing.' He thought softly. He made his way out of the school and headed towards the his car. One inside the vehicle, he cursed loudly. "Fuck!" He cried in exasperation, the soulmate forms were still in the passenger seat. "Oh wait, duh, I was gonna give it to him during class..." He mused, he felt rather foolish for his outburst.  Driving off he headed home, tomorrow he had to do some presentations or the students that passed. 'This week is gonna be a busy.' He thought to himself as he hummed in delight.  ===============================================================================  -One week later: Yuuei, Seven in the morning- Yagi watched from the window, he held some papers under his arm as he watched Class 1-A walk onto the open field of the P.E. ground. 'I guess Aizawa wants to see what they are capable off.' He mused. In his right hand he held a starbucks cup, sipping on the sweet warm beverage he watched from afar. 'I wonder what he is planning.' To say the least the man was both scared and excited. 'Aizawa is known for one hundred and fifty-seven expulsions.'  The kids were doing fine from what he saw, though he felt Izuku was constantly in fear, his body was tense. 'My boy calm down.' He thought, he made sure to send reassurance to the kid. 'You'll do just fine.' He mused, the training was last a bit, and he could feel that Izuku wasn't doing to well.  After a bit, it went to the soft pitch throw, he watched Izuku walk into the center, he felt the rush in his body. 'Don't you dare!' He gasped, he nearly spilled his coffee all over his hand. He was relieved to see Aizawa take care of him. He smiled faintly at this and walked from the window. He felt the sting in his right index finger. 'I knew you could do it.' He thought happily. 'You are able to adapt, but please be more careful.'  'I am sorry Izuku, for the real test begins tomorrow.' He smirked a bit as he moved towards the teachers lounge. 'You are gonna have one hell of a time, I can't wait to see you in action.' He thought in a giddy way, a new feeling bloomed in his chest. He was truly excited to see Izuku shine through and fight. The boy has been able to exceed his expectations from the beginning. =============================================================================== The next day, Yagi walked towards the classroom. He slipped inside, he was wearing a rather formal suit, looking crisp but not overly formal. "Good afternoon everyone." He smiled at them, he stood in front of the class. He leaning back against the desk, he looked at the students. He could feel their eyes boring into him, picking him apart. Trying to place him. They looked rather confused as to why he was there and not All Might. "You came!" Izuku stood up in his desk, his eyes sparking. Yagi felt warmth and happiness coil around his body. 'I'm happy to see you too Izuku.' He thought, returning the positive emotions. Yagi grinned at him and waved his hand, silently telling the boy to sit back down. He looked at the rest of the students. "I know you were expecting a rather big and bostious hero, but I honestly did not feel like tearing my suit." He informed them. "As you can see by your syllabus I am All Might." He informed.  "Wait, what!?"  "You can't be him!"  "It's impossible, All Might is huge!" Yagi smiled at them, he chuckled a bit and nodded his head. "I assure you that I am All Might, the form you see on the screen and well almost everywhere is just my hero form." He informed them. "And it was either this suit or my silver age suit." He informed. "And let's be honest, showing up to school in that uniform is a disaster waiting to happen." Pushing from the desk, "As you know, I am going to be your teacher for the fundamental hero studies." He informed them all. "For this class, we'll be building up your hero foundation through trails." He said to them bluntly. "These trails will not be easy, they will break the foundation you walk on and create a new path for you, to show you just why you wish to be a hero." He picked up a small white card with red lettering, the letters were 'BATTLE'. Holding it out for the class to see it. He grinned at their shocked faces. "But do not worry, it won't happen right away, it will take time." "So how about we jump right into this, the first trail will be a battle!" He felt giddy about this, his eyes wide with excitement. He then put the card on the desk and grabbed a small black remote, the panels on the side of the wall pushed out, revealing rows.  "The trail of battles..." Some murmured while others grinned with excitement. They seemed a little invigorated by the idea of being able to test out their quirks more. That didn't surprise him, most school didn't allow the usages of quirks. And the public didn't like people using their quirks outside in public areas without a good cause and reason.  "And to go with your first battle, we've prepared the gear you had sent in to us." He informed them all. "They should match your quirks perfectly, if not please let me know and I'll send them back to the support team to get it fix." He informed them. Pushing off from the desk he looked at them and clapped his hands. "Let's get to it!"  "But do not forget, from here on out you are all officially heroes." He grinned at the teens. "I am looking forward to seeing how you all progress as well." He walked out the door heading towards the building he had set up.  He felt a rush of emotions from Izuku, happiness, warmth, excitement, and pride. Smiling proudly the man continued on, down the hall. "Make me proud." He whispered to himself.  =============================================================================== Yagi waited by two boxes on either side of him, he looked more controlled. "Alright, now that everyone is here, I'll be going over the basics." He explained to them. "We will be doing a versus challenges, 'Heroes against Villains'." He started to explain. He could see their faces light up, they were eager. Iida raised his hand, wanting permission to speak.  Yagi nodded his head. "Yes?" Allowing the tall teenager to ask his question. "If we are separating into two different groups, what would be the best way to do so?" Tenya inquired to the the hero curiously. He dropped his hand and waited for the reply. To say the least he was a bit taken back by what the other had said.  "Though lottery of course!" He pulled a box out from behind him. It was a pain white box that had the word 'Lotto' on it in bold black letters.  "Is there a threat of expulsion like with Mr. Aizawa?" Uraraka asked as well, looking rather nervous about the idea of being some hidden thing or some test.  "Is it okay, if we just blow them away?" Bakugo asked as he stared at the ground, he looked too excited for Yagi's liking.  "How do we determine who wins and who loses?" Momo asked, her hand raised in the air before she dropped it.  Yagi felt himself being a little overwhelmed with the students, seeing how they were all taking at once. "I cannot understand any of you, when you talk at the same time." He informed them. "But to answer your questions, for the training we will have 'Villains' guarding a nuclear weapon that they plan on deploying."  The students looked at him, worried that he actually had a bomb. "Don't worry it's papier mache!" He said, he sighed heavily and stood up straight. "Anyways, the 'Heroes' must stop them and their nefarious schemes before it is too late." He put his hands on his lips. "If the 'Heroes' capture the 'villains' or the reach the nuclear core before the time runs out then they win." He looked at them all making sure they understood. "But if the 'Villains' are able to keep the core the whole time and or capture the 'Heroes' before the time runs out they win." The blonde hero explained to them, he looked at the building that they will be using. "This is the building that we will be using, you must keep it intact." He looked at them. "Is that understood?" He paused for a second. "And no there is no risk with me, only Aizawa would pull something like that."  The class nods their heads. He felt the tension in the air drop to something much lighter. 'Aizawa you know how to scare a group of teens...' He mused. They looked eager to try. "And I will say this," his tone turning serious. "Do not allow anger to get to you, you are not allowed to assault your opointant." He stated. "If a student is harmed badly, I will end the program and mark it as a failure, do we understand?"  "Crystal!" The classed responded.  Smiling brightly, he nodded his head. "Good, now let's get the teams situated!"  =============================================================================== To say the least Yagi hadn't expected for things to get to far. He watched the screen, biting this thumb. 'He is too intense.' He thought as he watched them. 'Izuku my boy, I'll be treating you like any other student.' He thought, he had shut himself off from Izuku for the time being as to not give himself away. 'Do not expect me to show you favoritism, I'll grade you just as harshly as all the other students.' He listened to the earpiece carefully.  He watched as Izuku and Uraraka moved through the building carefully, planning out their strategy.  'Great communication.' He prised them, he looked at Uraraka her ability to remain positive would be great with Izuku in this simulation. He crossed his arms, he wasn't looking at the students around them or giving them much mind as he watched the screen carefully.  "Bakugo really is a hot head, he just left Iida there, I wonder if they have planned something." Kirishima mused as he stared up at the screen.  "Guess you'll find out, I want you all to really watch this." He told them. "It will be a great learning experience for the lot of you." He stated as he watched Izuku get ambushed by the ash blonde. He felt a spike of fear lick at his spine, it made his knees shake. 'Why are you this scared Izuku?' He thought, is eyes narrowed as he watched them.  He watched as Izuku moved back, covering his companion. 'Good.' Then something struck him as off.  "I thought so... with me as his opponent, Kacchan's priority would definanty be to beat me up."  'Why would he want to beat you up my boy, what have you not told me?' He tried to remember anything. But his mind quickly shuffled to their time on the roof. 'What...Kacchan's your childhood bully?' He felt his heart seize for a moment. 'Why did I not notice sooner.' This isn't good. 'I should end this...but nothing bad has happened.' He found himself biting his thumb firmly. 'Izuku stay on your toes, you know him better than anyone else.'  "That Bakugou is a cheater, an ambush is so unmanly!" Kirishima cried out, looking on at the screen in disbelief.  "Ambushes are a great strategy, they are in the heat of a battle after all." Yagi stated as he watched the fight become intense, this blonde teen was far too quick to anger. He watched as Izuku made Uraraka run for it to get to Tenya. Things were not looking great for Izuku, half of his mask was gone, but only the facial part. Yagi only felt a mild sting on his face, nothing that was too bothersome. He looked at Izuku looking for any kind of signs that he were in any sort of pain. The only thing he could see was a mild bruising. 'Good, I can keep this going.' He mused, he could feel himself calm down a bit. His shoulders didn't feel as tense. 'It seems I am far to worried about Izuku, I need to have more faith in him.'  He felt pride swell in his chest, his own grin reached his face.  "The same notes you blew up and threw away. I am no longer the Deku equated with as a worthless guppy, now I am the Deku whose 'Vibe is never giving up!"  'Good, use that weakness and make it your strength Izuku.' He thought as he stared at the screen, the boy was still scared, he could see him trembling even feel him tremble, but he stood firm. "You are on your way, you can do this." He mumbled to himself.  Retract that, this boy was gonna get himself killed.  Half of a wall was already destroyed. "Bakugo, if you do something like that again, I will not hesitate to end this simulation, do I make myself clear!" He told the boy firmly. "You are not trying to kill the 'Heroes' merely stop them!" He scolded the blonde.  His warning was not headed, he watched as Bakugou rip the chip from his ear. He then looked at the screen, he typed at the keyboard. Ending the simulation. Looking at the screen he watched as the lights flickered out. He pressed his hand to his small chip. "I have ended the battle simulation." He informed them, looked at the screen, he wasn't happy. "Report to the room immediately." A scowl was heavy on his face, sharpening his beautiful features, his eyes narrowed and cold. He watched as the four break apart, Izuku was more on the defense as he slipped through the hole in the wall and landed on the ground. He watched them carefully, he was watching Bakugo. "Bakugo, report to me." He nearly growled out. He turned and looked at the students they all looked a bit frightened by him. "Do not worry." He told them, "No one will be hurt." He promised. "Just a very angry scolding." =============================================================================== He looked at the floor as he leaned against the wall, his arms cross. "Do you want to tell me what all that was about?" He asked them firmly.  Izuku dropped his head and looked at the ground, holding his arm to the side, a submissive gesture. "I...I..." The teen has never felt so much anger from All Might, he didn't know what to do with it. He looked ready to cry, he could see the tears forming in the young boys eyes. He wasn't used to be scolded by All Might.  Yagi looked at Bakugou. "You boy, speak."  "What, I was doing as I was suppose to getting rid o-" "You were doing nothing of the sort!" Snapped Yagi. "You aimed to attack only Izuku with a personal grudge that you seemingly held onto because you believe yourself to be better." He interrupted him. "I had warned you, and you pulled the chip for your ear to spite me, I am the teacher and you are the student, you will listen to my instructions." He watched as Bakugou stare at the ground in frustration. "What you did was out of anger and hatred, heroes should never be blinded by pitiful things as self indulgence." He relaxed a little bit. "I'll be calling your parents about anger-management to help you overcome these insecurities you have." He watched as Bakugou snap his head up at him, red eyes wide.  "You will be a great hero and you have a lot on your shoulders, I am doing this because I believe you can be a great hero, but I will not let what you have done slide." He told Bakugou. "What you did wasn't alright in any shape or form, and you will be reprimanded for it."  He looked at Izuku. "You need to learn to be self aware." He informed. "And speak up about issues you have with other students." He informed. "I would have changed the group so that this mess never would have happened, I am your teacher, I need to be informed to make sure that this school is safe." He looked at the other two. "You two are fine." He told them. "Thank you both for coming, please all three of you go to the room with the other students and watch the rest of the videos." He informed. "All but you Bakugou, will be talking about somethings." He informed.  Izuku, Tenya, and Uraraka nodded and walked away. Uraraka guided Izuku from the hall with Tenya fussing over him.  Yagi watched them go, he turned to Bakugou when the door clicked shut. "Bakugou, I want to know what you were thinking." He said. "You are a smart man, you know better than this, I've seen you in action before."  "He lied to me...all this time he lied to me." He growled out, the blond ground his teeth. Katsuki held his pants tightly in his fist. "Making me a fool, looking down at me!" He snapped, he could feel the tears burning in his eyes. "How dare he!"  "My boy." He said and reached over and patted his head. "He lied because he couldn't...can't control it." He informed him somberly. "Every time he uses it, it breaks his body." He pulled his hand away. The look on Katsuki's face was shock. "He has no control of it, he lied to keep himself from having to use it, because if people found out he had such a strong power he would become a target at an early age." He shook his head. "He lied because he had to, not because he wanted to." He pushed from the wall fully and straightened himself out. "Not everything is endorsed to you young man."  "How do you know this?" Katsuki asked him, his eyes narrowed.  "Because I talked with his mother and him about it." He told him. 'I am sure if you knew who Izuku's father was you too would want to keep him safe.' He thought bitterly. He looked at the ground. 'Izuku...' Conflicted emotions washed over him, be sobered up. Looking at Katsuki. "Enough of this, anyways, I want a three page essay on what happened in there, and why you were in the wrong." He informed. "And I want it on my desk after lunch tomorrow, is that clear?"  "Fucking crystal." Katsuki muttered, gritting his teeth at him. Though there was a heavy confusion that lingered in the air. But it seemed that All Might would not budge on the subject any further. Satisfied they both walked into the room and watched the other students work on their own simulations. It was far less intense, but everyone was heated up after watching Izuku and Katsuki battle it out. Izuku was in a better mood, he was even taking notes and writing it down in a small note pad he had in his belt. =============================================================================== It was lunch time, Yagi slumped back in his desk and left out a hefty sigh. "I don't know how you do it Aizawa, teens are hard to manage." He said to him. "I don't even know what I am doing half the time." Kids were hard to talk to, he hated having to be a teacher and having to use thatteacher voice. It makes him feel disgusted.  "It's truly a miracle even on my part." Aizawa informed as he typed away at his computer. "But you'll manage, just drink lots of coffee." He told him. "By the way how is your condition?"  "Which one?"  "Your side." Aizawa asked, looking up from his monitor. "I still get phantom pains, the doctor said it's just physiologic from the fight." He informed. "I still get a little sick by eating certain foods." He confided in the other teacher. "I had to up my dosage for Sertraline." He looked at the other. "But other then that things are great, I haven't lost my ability to go into hero mode or anything." He stated as he grabbed his bento box. He unwrapped it and pulled the top off, he nearly drooled at the sight of the food. "And the kids seemed surprised by this form."  "That's good at least, I am glad that you aren't seriously injured from that fight, but the mental damage that it must have caused you." Aizawa stated, he had remembered it clearly, he had been there that day. It had been when he was being interedshiped by All Might. "And who wouldn't be honestly?" "It was a pretty awful battled, lasted for a while." He mused. "But that wasn't what had been so...damaged, it was the mother and kid I couldn't save." He informed him. "I still get awful dreams about them."  "I know you do." He said. "We share a flat." The man deadpanned. "I've hand to fix several holes in your wall because of you."  "I've paid for the damages..." He mumbled as he dug into his meal. "Also, do you know where I can get Soulmate forms at?" He asked Aizawa. "I had mine in the car, but I opened the door to grab something and the papers flew out." He rubbed the back of his neck.  Aizawa blinked and looked at him, tilting his head to the side slightly. "Soulmate?" He mumbled. "You found your soulmate?"  "Ah yes, it's been a good ten months." He informed him. "I'd like to fill it out here soon, before the year is up, I rather not have them or I be fined hundreds of dollars." He infomed. He looked a little sheepish. "I should have asked a while ago, but my training with my successor had been preoccupied."  "You mean Izuku Midoriya correct?" He typed somethings into his computer and looked over at his printer and watched as the papers printed. "So who is this soulmate of yours?"  "It's Izuku."  "What?" Aizawa looked up from the printer. "You're...you're not kidding..." He leaned back in his seat. "How?"  "Oh I saved him from the sludge villain." He informed them in a nonchalant away. "I made him my successor after he tried to save Bakugou from the villain." He shrugged his shoulders. "And we both have the same mark on our chest, you know the typical soulmate marking." He teased the other, only to get a rather annoyed and flat look. "I see...does his mother know or the principal?" Aizawa collected himself and grabbed the papers and stabled them, he handed them off to the other. "S class forms." He informed. "Make sure that the boy fills them out correctly at the study period." He informed. "President Mic won't be here, will you step in?"  "Sure I don't see why not." He informed. "And yes, his mother and I talked over the phone, she is happy to know that Izuku's and I's relationship is purely platonic." He explained to him as he set the forms down and started on his food. "And Nedzu knows, I let him know the day of." He nodded his head as he looked at his food. "Hey, aren't you going to eat." He asked him.  "I have fruit pouches." Aizawa informe as he held up the apple sauce.  "That's not real food." He stood up and sighed heavily. "Man, hold on." He said and stood up. He moved to the mini fridge and grabbed another container from the fridge and popped off the lid and headed it up. He then walked towards Aizawa and handed him the extra bento. "Eat this." He said. "I figured you wouldn't bring one, so I made an extra, and no it doesn't have tuna in it, but it does have spicy shrimp though." He informed and reached over the desk and grabbed an extra pair of chopsticks and handed them to Aizawa. "You d-"  "Yes I do." Yagi informed as he walked around the desks and sat back down in his. "You and I both know, that you will not eat unless I force you." He informed. "Picky fucker."  Aizawa rolled his eyes and started to eat, he tossed the half empty pouch in the trash. "Bitch."  "Jerk." ***** This is why we can't have nice things ***** Chapter Summary Tenya has taken his roll and makes sure that All Might understands his position. Lunch was over before they knew it. Izuku walked back to the room with Iida and Uraraka by his side, they were still engaged in the conversation from lunch. It had been about who would be the worst hero to go up against. They all agreed that it would be Endeavor. The man had a talent for being brutal and merciless.  "So what do you think Mr. Yamada is gonna teach, do you think he is going to go over English Classics like Shakespeare?" Izuku asked them, he opened the classroom to see Yagi sitting at the desk, on the whiteboard in bold back letters.  'Study Session'  "All Might, where is Mr. Yamada?" Uraraka inquired to the blonde hero. They didn't expect him to be there, rather they had been expecting the overly excited blonde to be on his phone texting someone.  "He is currently away, I've been asked to cover for him, but not to worry it is simply just for today." He said. "Oh, Izuku I need you to fill out these forms." He said holding up a rather thick stack. "I need it by the end of this study period." He looked at him with a small smile. "Make sure you fill it out accordingly and date it."  "Oh sure." Izuku took the papers and blinked. "Soulmate registration forms?" Izuku muttered.  Iida blinked. "It's a Class S, meaning you're soulmate is a hero." He informed Izuku as he looked it over carefully. "Who is your soulmate Izuku?" A thought occurred to him. 'His soulmate is older than him, could it be All Might?' He looked at the blonde sitting at his desk, he was rather engrossed in some paperwork. 'Why else would he have the forms?' Izuku looked flustered by the question. "Its well...um," His eyes locked with the teacher for a moment, he turned back to his friends. "It's All Might..." He confessed lowly, looking very flustered. He had never been told not to share this information. And it was Uraraka and Iida, they were decent people. "I'll explain the details another time..." "No way, you're soulmates with him!" The brunette looked so excited, her eyes sparkling with delight. "That's so cool Deku!" She hopped in place. The class was slowly filling up with the rest of their class, each in their own conversation. "I'm so happy for you, you're so lucky!" She giggled, her smile practically reached her eyes as she looked at Izuku. Yagi looked at her and blinked. "What did I miss?" He watched as the girl bounced up and down, looking rather excited and happy. It didn't take him long for it to click as to why she was so happy. "I'm assuming she knows?" He looked at Izuku. Said boy's face was completely red, a tomato would be jealous of the vibrate color that Izuku was wearing. Smirking a bit, Yagi leaned back and looked at the boy. "Oho~" He looked at Izuku, is gaze was machivious. "You're looking a little red there my boy." He grinned at him, he tilted his head to the side. "Wanna share why?" He felt a wave of heat flush over him, his eyes widened a tad bit before he grinned widely. "I! What! No!" Izuku stuttered and looked at the papers in his hand. Not wanting to look at the hero. "I'm gonna fill these out!" He squeaked out as he sped away from the three of them. Clearly the boy was embarrassed. Yagi laughed at the boy's shy nature. "Oh he's so much fun to tease, his expressions are so wild." He chuckled to himself. He looked away from Izuku and looked to Tenya who stared down at him, those black eyes were guarded. Yagi could feel the boy's gaze picking him apart and putting him back together. It was unnerving to say the least. Yagi felt sort of unsure, he has seen villains look at him like that and Aizawa. But from this teen it was unsettling. "Can I help you Tenya?"  Tenya's expression was closed off and he was tight lipped. "I do not understand the nature of your relationship with him, but I do hope you realize he is still a child." He informed him. "You may be the number one hero, but there are many unpleasant stories behind aged heroes and their younger soulmates." He turned to face All Might fully, his shoulders squared. "You touch him in anyway that makes him uncomfortable, may god have mercy on your soul." He told him, his voice thick with a promise.  Yagi stared at him, tilting his head he regarded the man's words carefully. He could see that Tenya promised him something dangerous, something that made his spine tingle. Smiling, he face Tenya head on with the promise. "You care about him a great deal, I'll do my best to make sure that Izuku is comfortable with me." He held out his hand. "If I make him cry or even remotely make him uncomfortable, I'll gladly take any form of punishment that you can and will dish out." He looked into Tenya's eyes. "Do we have a deal?"  Tenya stared at him for a long moment. Seemingly thinking about the pros and cons of the deal and the situation at hand. His black eyes quickly glanced over at Izuku. He reached out and shook his head. "Deal." He then pulled away. "Now if you will excuse me, I have homework." The teen walked away from All Might and seated himself at his desk.  "Tenya?" Uraraka called out to the boy sitting in front of her. "What did you say to All Might that has you all pensive and well intimidating?" It kind of spooked her, and from the looks at it, it had unnerved All Might as well. It seemed that from her perspective it was about Izuku. 'Why did they shake hands?'   Tenya turned in his desk and looked at the girl. "Nothing of importance, but if you must know." He stated softly. "It was just a deal, if he was to hurt Izuku in anyway, he will face punishment." He informed the smaller person as he dug into his bag and pulled out some items. "You said at lunch you wanted some help with some math." He said to her.  "Wow, you really don't hold back do you Tenya." She grinned at him. "I am sure that Izuku will be touched that you are willing to defend him even from All Might, that takes a lot of guts." She was very touched by Iida's words. He had only known them for a couple of days, and he was already willing to protect them. Having Iida meant so much already, he was a good friend to have. "You are a good friend Iida, I hope down the road, we will be able to protect you."  Tenya looked at the girl and smiled, a slight blush on his cheeks. "Thank you Uraraka." He said softly. "Now back to the math." He said as he turned his chair around and showed her the problems.  =============================================================================== Izuku stared at the forms, his green eyes soaked up the detail as he looked at them. There was so much going for him, a lot of words he didn't even understand, the paperwork was heavy with conditions. He leaned back and rubbed his face. 'Doesn't my mom have to sign this?' He asked himself. He was after all underaged, barely even sixteen. But the consenting age was thirteen years of age.' He tilted his head to the side for a moment. 'I guess there is no harm in it seeing how I am of age to consent by law.' He thought, he then started to add his signature to the lines, making sure that he had everything signed. He went over the paperwork one more. 'This is a lot to take in,' He thought. 'How am I supposed to remember it all.' He scowled a little bit. 'I guess I can always look it up on the internet or something." He mused. Standing up, he walked towards the front desk.  "I filled it out completely." He said to him as he place the neat pile of papers on the desk. "I hope I fill it out right."  "I am sure it will be fine." Yagi looked up from the papers he hand, and grabbed the soulmate forms. Flipping through them, he carefully checked the lines and dates. "It looks good, I'll drop it off on my way home." He said to Izuku gently. He was really happy that everything was getting situated with his soulmate, he would soon be his by law. "You should be fine now." He informed the teenager. "Go get some work done, I know that you are a little behind in art class." He tease Izuku a little bit. "Do you need me to pose for you?" He grinned at the boy wickedly. He watched as the boy lit up once more. "I'm teasing you Izuku, calm down my boy." He laughed softly. "But seriously Midnight won't take kindly to late work."  "Big bully, but thanks for the heads up." Izuku muttered lowly to Yagi. Walking back to his desk, he passed by Kacchan who was writing in his notebook, he only caught a glimpse of it before seating himself down at his desk and pulling out his art book. 'I wonder why Yagi wanted those papers so bad.' He looked at Yagi. The man was handsome in his own right, he had fair features, soft white skin, eyes a brilliant blue. The sky was envious of the shade. He admired his soulmate for a bit. Turning back to his art book, he started to sketch. 'I am however worried about being his soulmate, I could become a target rather easily, it is a known that that he has many enemies that want him dead, so maybe I shouldn't tell the whole world, well I never planned on it.' He made a face. 'But what if someone finds out, and the press gets a hold of it?' He looked up at Yagi who was working on his own thing. 'What then?' He felt his gut squirm. 'Things aren't going to be easy, not by a long shot...'  Looking away from the paper he turned his head to the right to look at Uraraka and Tenya. 'I'll have to ask them to keep quiet about it as well.' He then blinked. 'I wonder who their soulmates are.' He turned away and looked forward. 'I'll ask them about it after school.' He wondered if they wanted to keep it a secret or just didn't have one. 'It would be a shame if they didn't.'  =============================================================================== Yagi walked with Izuku after school. "I'll drop you off." He said to him. "Your mom wants to talk about the paperwork." He informed Izuku before he could protest. "You are under the age of eighteen so your mother needs to sign some papers as well." He looked at the small teen while they walked towards his car. "By the way, you have some great friends Izuku." He smiled warmly. "I am glad you are able to adjust and grow here." He had heard that the last ten years had not been kind to Izuku, a lot of things happened, with bullies from both his teachers and his peers. So to see him flourish like he has was great, the kid was just glowing from all the positive reinforcement from both the class and teachers.   "Yeah, Tenya and Ochako are great." Izuku agreed as he walked towards the teachers parking. "Tenya should be class president when we start to assign such things, he is very sturdy and reliable." Izuku mused, his eyes twinkling brightly. "And he cares about the class and how we present ourselves, he has high grades and the man's every level headed." He informed, he looked at Yagi who was smiling down at him.  "Maybe you should talk to him about it, I am sure that the others will agree as well." He pulled out his keys and unlocked the doors with the small controller. "Alright, now what about Ochako?" He inquired to him gently. "I saw how excited she was for you over the fact that you and I are soulmates, not many take kindly to same sex soulmates."  "Oh she is just the sweetest, before her I had never talked to a girl before, she is optimistic and very patient." He told him as he slipped into the passenger seat and buckled up. His bag was placed on his lap. "She is very protective of us already, and she is rather blunt with the truth." He nodded his head, remember the conversation about Iida's family. "She is very supportive as well, I am glad that she doesn't mind, she seems like an open minded person and only cares about people being respectful to one another...oh and she just wants people to be in a healthy and happy relationship." He shrugged his shoulders. "She really is the best."  "Sounds like a well rounded group, sweet and caring." Yagi started the car after getting situated and took off towards the apartment complex. "So how is your mother by the way, the last time I heard from her she was sick with the flu, she is alright now?" "Mom is good, she has a double shift coming up at the hospital." He informed. "So this weekend it will be just me." Izuku informed. "I'm most likely going to catch up on some studying and exercise a bit." Izuku had heard about the USJ. "I hear that next week we are going to USJ, so I am going to need to prep for that." He looked at Yagi. "What about you, how have you been, has your side been hurting you?"  Yagi listened to the boy as he drove down the complex streets. "I am alright, my side is okay...still just some phantom pains." He smiled at him. "Nothing to worry about really." He ruffled the boy's hair. "It's quite alright, and yes you should study, knowing Aizawa he is going to throw in a random pop-quiz." He mused as he found the complex. Driving in he parked in the visitors section. Turning off the car he grabbed some papers and got out with Izuku in tow.  ===============================================================================  The talk with Inko was short and sweet, she had signed the papers and offered him some dinner, which he gladly took. Because the women knew how to cook, he asked about her day and her job. She basically had repeated what Izuku said in the car. He was glad that the women was so considerate and understanding. She seemed really happy at the fact that Yagi and Izuku's relationship was purely platonic.   After a bit, Yagi left the household, giving them both a hug. He turned in the paperwork at the administration office and went home for the evening. He found Aizawa at the table, his cat Lottie who was sitting beside him, chewing on the end of his pencil. "Grading homework or writing your will?"  "A little bit of both." Aizawa responded as he lifted his gaze to look at Yagi. "How was Midoriya's?" Aizawa leaned back in his seat, letting the pencil drop on the table. His arms rested on his chest crossed.  "It was decent, Inko makes a mean Udon." He informed. "And she had agreed to sign the paperwork as well, and I just came back from turning it in." Yagi walked towards the table and sat down at it, and pulled Lottie into his arms and stroked her black fur. "How was the rest of your day?"  "Fine, Hizashi wants all off us to hang out at the bar later this weekend." He informed. "Enji wants to buy us a couple rounds, apparently Kyoko passed her mental awareness test and won't have to return to the ward." He stretched his arms out in front of him, his shoulders popping as well as his elbows. The gloomy man sighed in bliss.  "Oh that's wonderful, I am glad she is well." He grinned and nuzzled the black cat who only purred louder. "You going to the party?" Yagi was, he wouldn't miss it for the world, and to see Kyoko again would be great. The women always knew how to light up a room. And he figured that Enji would want some back up just in case something happened. Like everyone getting drunk off their asses.  "Yeah, if I don't I'll never hear the end of it..." He grumbled. "I wouldn't mind some sake though." He looked at the papers. "Our students are bright, Kirishima is rather surprising though, he isn't that great at math, but his science is impeccable." He shook his head. "It doesn't make sense to me." He lifted his gaze and looked at Yagi. "You alright?" The blonde had been staring off in the distances, looking rather bothered.  Yagi turned to him. "It's...well...I did some research into the Midoriya family and found some odd things...Hisashi Midoriya has been missing for some time, about fifteen years." He explained to him. "But...going in deeper I found out that Hisashi works for the league of villains." He looked bothered by this. "I wasn't sure until I went over to their house and saw a picture of him on the fridge...and I knew it was him."  "Him?" Aizawa tilted his head. "You me All for One?"  Yagi looked at him carefully, he looked pained. "Yes..." He informed him softly. "They do not seem to realize it though, Izuku and Inko firmly believe that Hisashi is working overseas." He informed. "Running some office out of Bangkok." Yagi rubbed his face and sighed heavily. "I didn't realize how deep this would go..." He looked at the table, he had let Lottie go. Leaving her to scamper off into the flat. "I can't bring myself to tell them." He informed. "They are good people and don't deserve that burden."  "You realize that the longer you keep this hidden the worse it will get." Aizawa informed, his black eyes staring into the baby blues. He reached over and held Yagi's hand firmly. "I'll help you keep it from them, I won't mention anything about it, and I'll make sure to keep them in blissful ignorance, but if they find out..." He paused. "They will know..."  "I know, and thanks." He squeezed Aizawa's hand and pulled away. "Thanks for listening to me...I'm going to shower, I'll see you in a bit."  "Don't drown." Aizawa commented lightly. "Also please don't swamp the bathroom again, I don't want to mop the hall because you decided to take a nap in your bath."  Yagi ignored him, grabbing his things he headed into the bathroom and showered, cleaning himself off before he took a nice hot bath. He leaned back in the tub and looked at the steam that floated to the ceiling. "What am I gonna do if he attacks?" He inquired to himself softly. "Izuku will be targeted, know even more so..." He grimaced. "And all because he is both the son of All for One and my soulmate..." The poor boy had a target on his back the moment he was born. "And it's already too late to pull from him...that would only crush him." He said softly. "And I don't like the idea of pulling away from him..." He had just gotten the boy into his life. He had waited for so long to be able to feel whole. The loneliness he felt had been crushing. He felt a warmth pull into his chest, concern and comfort lapped at his mind. Izuku was worried for him. 'Thank you small one.'  The year flashed in his mind, watching the boy grow and become more confident in himself, they had many outings together, going for a jog, running, sparring, swimming, and even just hanging out. The kid was amazing, so soft spoken a smile that rivaled the sun. The kid was pure hearted, wanting to protect everyone and love unconditionally. "The kid is  bleeding heart." He mumbled to himself. "I have to keep him safe, I have too." He looked at his knees that were propped up in the water. "What I would do for him is unmistakable." The blonde grumbled and snuck into the hot water and stared at the tiled wall. "I don't doubt that the Villains will attack at any moment..." He said to himself. "So I'll need to speed up the process with Izuku, otherwise he will not last." He said softly. The water lapped at his chin as he spoke aloud.  The number one hero allowed himself to relax fully, thinking about Izuku and the class. He adored them all already, he thought about Inko's warm hugs, he thought about her home cooked meals and how it reminded him of his mother's own meals she used to cook. Inko reminded him of his mother, that warmth that she radiated, she helped quell the pain that resided there. 'I miss my mom too...' He thought, he opened his eyes and looked at the wall. 'I should call her and see how she is doing.' He thought. 'I will tonight before bed.' ***** Sleeping isn't always an option ***** Chapter Summary Late nights and dreary thoughts Nights were often cold and silent. The moon would offered little to no comfort, it's light was merely a reflection. Stealing its glow from the sun. A mirror, only to reflect the conflicted minds of the humans as they lied awake at night and regret. Yagi Toshinori was no stranger to long nights. His mind always buzzing, searching, repeating, and regretting. And tonight was one of those nights that caused him anguish.  The hero lied on his side, facing the window. Watching the city buzz with life, he could see the twinkling lights of the town, washing away the starry sky that ached to see. He had called his mother and listened to her talk about her days, simply enjoying her company and voice. He was forever thankful for those moments. He wanted to say so much, but he knew that things wouldn't make sense to his dear old mom. Turning he shifted on his back and looked at the white ceiling. 'Izuku, when I met you all I saw was a child.' He thought to himself. Sitting up, Yagi pushed he blankets away from him. His skin itched from the secrets that buried themselves under his skin. 'But know, I see a teenager trying to make the best of the world with what he has been given.' He walked from the room and into the loft. Sitting himself down on the couch, he held one knee to is chest, letting  the other bend in front of him. 'I know you're heart is pure and your intentions are the best.' He stared off into the distance of the city. 'But I can only fear that with a single wrong push you'll fall into the wrong path.' Resting his head on his knee, he relaxed his body. His mind plagued him with the background fears that he has tried so hard to keep at bay.  'I know that you are strong, stronger than what you believe...but you're too tender hearted.' He thought. 'To soft, to breakable.' Those dark thoughts crept into his mind. 'I don't know how to protect you from All for One and yourself.' He closed his eyes tightly, the dull light did nothing to help the shadow conceal his face. 'You were so close to that path, you were walking in that direction, I couldn't bare to see you like All for One.' Yagi felt sick to his stomach, he could feel his eyes sting with unshed tears.'I am trying so hard to keep you safe, and allowing you to continue on with your dreams.' Yagi was truly hoping for the best for Izuku. But it was hard, the trust was hard to give. 'I don't know how to trust you completely, I am unable to.' Yagi sucked in a shaky breath and lifted his head. 'I'll try to do so, I'll try to trust you with who I am and what you will become in the future.' He wasn't sure though. 'But I am still unsure...I am unsure that I can save you...or save myself.' His blue eyes dull and distant. He couldn't feel anything right now, just the feeling of himself falling into a pit.  Pushing from the couch, he wondered to the patio. Opening the glass door, he made his way out. The cold air biting at his skin, causing him to shudder. He stared at the moon. "Why, why does this have to happen!" He cried to the moon. "Tell me what I am doing wrong!" He pleaded, wishing for an answer. "How to I fix this, please tell me what I can do...please!" He gripped the railing. "I'm trying so hard to keep it together, to keep all of this from falling apart!" He shouted at the moon. His voice was drowned out by the traffic that strived in the city. "I'm begging you, please help me...I don't know what I'm suppose to do!" He felt hot tears pour down his face. He felt a sob escape his throat and lick at his lips. His legs trembled as he felt himself fall apart. Dropping to the ground, he closed his eyes. Forcing the tears back. "Please no, please don't...stop..." He croaked out. Tremors ran hot through his body, he felt as though he was being crushed. "Please stop, I can't afford to fall apart." He stifled a sob that bubbled up. "Why...why am I so weak..." His voice broke, he had been trying so hard to keep everything from falling apart. To remain strong, to keep everyone from shattering around him. "I'm so pathetic..."  The silence hung around him, like a blanket. Sobs broke though his hand as he tried to keep himself from breaking. Folding himself in half, he begged for the pain to stay inside, locked away. The world had no need for his struggles, he had no reason for it. He was the number one hero. He had no reason to cry and whimper like this. He was better than this.  After a moment, the silence was shattered by a knock on the door. Slowly he picked himself up, and rubbed his face. He knew he looked like hell, but he could pull it off as he was just sleeping. Carefully, he pieced himself back together. He forced a blinding smile on is face, forcing the doubt and the fears into the back of his mind. Closing the class door behind him, he locked it. Pushing from the door he made long strides towards the door. The knocking was getting desperate. Yagi reached for the door and unlocked it, pulling it open he saw Izuku standing there, he was flushed from running, his hair was sticking to his forehead. His mouth open, his lungs begging desperately for air. The teen was in his pajamas, some long green and black plaid buttons. His shirt was a simple black shirt, and he was just wearing slippers. "Izu-"  Izuku flung himself at Yagi and hugged him tightly, burying his face into the bare chest. "I'm here, I'm here." Izuku told him. "Please, let me in." He told him. His voice was so soft and gently. Yagi felt his mask crumbling, he pulled back and carefully pulled the boy inside. Shutting the door, with ease he locked the top bolt and looked at the teen who was clinging to him.  "Izuku, what are you doing he-"  "Shut up, you know why..." The boy looked at him, he had interrupted his hero once again. There was an understanding in the boys eyes. "I felt everything, I ran here as fast as I could." Izuku dropped his arms from Yagi's waist and stepped back. "I won't allow you to be alone...I'm sorry it took me so long...I didn't realize how much pain you were in...I'm sorry..." The boy was crying now. Tears had spilled from his eyes and down his cheek.  "Izuku, I'm fine." Yagi tried to sway the boy, giving him one of his best smiles. "Really, I just had a bad dream was all."  "Liar."  The blonde hero flinched, the boy was looking at him with mild scorn. "Don't lie, not to me." He whispered, he rubbed his face. The tears had dried up, leaving only stains. "You're only human Yagi, you're allowed to fall apart, you're not atlas, you're allowed to put down the world...it won't fall."  The smile that had been sealed onto Yagi's face dropped, strong arms dangled limply at his side as he looked at Izuku. "I have to stay strong Izuku..." He whispered painfully. "It's my job, my duty to remain so, it's a burden that I must carry." He informed him. "I cannot shatter." His voice shook with pain as he gazed at the boy.  Izuku reached out and placed his hands on the mark. "You are not just All Might...you're Yagi Toshinori, a twenty-five year old, trying to hard to keep the world from falling." The boy had gone quiet for a moment. "You have done it all by yourself for so long...you've been alone...for a long time." Izuku stared at the mark that was weaved into the flesh so elegantly. "Put you're not alone anymore...I'm here with you." The teen said to him, he could feel the man tremble under his touch. "I'll help you pick up the pieces like you did for me...so break and fall...cry if you need to." He told him softly. "I'm here, I'm here with you."  Yagi bit his bottom lip, a deep sadness stabbed at his heart. He felt himself falling to his knees again, his hands cupped his mouth as he tried to stop the sobbing. But gentle hands cupped his, and pulled his hands away. "Don't hide your pain from me...please." He whispered. Strong arms wrapped around him and pulled his face into a firm chest, there he felt himself fall apart completely. His sobs were muffled by the boy's shirt. His larger hands, gripping the boy's back. His fingers threatened to tear the fabric from the tight strain.  Izuku held the man firmly in his arms, as the larger man broken down. He felt all the pain, the loneliness, and the fears that swallowed him whole. There was so much that the man carried on his shoulders, too much for one human. Izuku stroked the man's blonde hair. He saw Aizawa from the hall, he was leaning against the wall, he was in a simple outfit for bed, his boxers and a pain white shirt. Izuku nodded in his direction, letting his homeroom teacher know it was okay to go back to bed. He would care for the blonde tonight. He watched as his teacher returned the nod and head back into his room. 'I was unaware that they lived together, I'll have to be more quiet.' Izuku's fingers never stopped.  He stood over Yagi, placing gently kisses on the crown on his head. The man needed this moment, needed to fall and shatter in his arms. He has held on for so long, too long in fact. 'Tonight, let me protect you.' Carefully and slowly, he detached from Yagi and stroked his face with his shirt, drying his face. "I'll smile for you." He whispered gently. "Tonight, let me protect you." He pressed a gently kiss to his forehead.  Yagi closed his eyes as the boy pressed a gentle kiss to his forehead. "O- okay." He stuttered. "We should get to my room then..." He mumbled as he stood up slowly, he carefully laced his hands with Izuku's and pulled him towards his room. Down the hall, he opened his door and pulled Izuku inside. Watching the boy, he nudged him to his bed. "You can sleep with me tonight." He mumbled out. The hero had no energy to really talk.  Izuku nodded his head, he moved towards the bed and crawled in. He was impressed by how large it was, but he shouldn't be so surprised seeing how Yagi was seven foot two. He looked up at Yagi and watched as the blonde slide into the bed. Carefully Izuku pulled the blanket over them, he snuggled down into the covers and opened his arms for the older man.  Yagi felt completely pathetic, having Izuku see him fall apart. He moved closer to the boy, and curled up into his arms. The boy with ease wrapped him up in the blanket and held him so securely. 'Why...' He thought softly. 'How can you make the world so quiet...' He peered up at the boy who was looking at him. There was so much love and care in them. He radiated warmth and love. 'This is all for me...' He thought, his eyes widening. 'Only I'll be able to see this...only he will see me like this...' The thought was warm, his chest filled with warmth, he pooled into his aching muscles, it soothed his mind. He allowed himself to fall into Izuku, taking in all that was him. The passion, the love, the pure love...it was all for him.  'Thank you Izuku...' He couldn't look away from those eyes, he was so captivated by him. "How do you make the world so quiet..."  Izuku only smiled at him softly. "Because...you are my world." He whispered to him. Another kiss was placed on his forehead, strong arms pulled Yagi closer. Yagi could feel Izuku's body heat, it was making him drowsy. The boy's scent reminded him of a time long ago...a time where he wasn't so alone. "Sleep, I'll be here in the morning." Izuku promised sweetly.  Yagi's arm draped over Izuku's thin waist he held the boy in his arms. "Pro...mise?" The man mumbled out, stifling a yawn that forced its way passed his lips.  "I promise..." Izuku mumbled back. He watched as Yagi nodded off to sleep. Gently and slowly he tucked the man's bangs behind his ear. "I'll stay for as long as you need me too." He whispered softly as he admired the sleeping man. He sighed softly, he didn't understand why Yagi felt the way he did. But he had some hints, he would ask about it another time. Right now Yagi just needed his undying love and support. The man needed him to be a pilar. 'Please don't push me away...' Izuku thought as he allowed himself to sleep.  =============================================================================== As promised Izuku had stayed with Yagi, both bodies were tangled into one. Yagi had buried himself into Izuku's chest, long arms encircling the others thin waist. Izuku had his arms draped over Yagi's head and shoulder. The positions they were in looked oddly uncomfortable.  Aizawa walked into the room, his passive glare gazing at the two. 'Too much trouble.' He thought to himself he left the two to sleep. Closing the door he walked into the kitchen and left a note.  Remain in the flat, I'll return with your homework. Keep the blumbling blonde idiot inside.  - Aizawa He left the note on the counter and headed out, going to work. He sighed heavily as he made his way towards work. 'Another day in paradise.' He thought bitterly. Though he was glad that Izuku had come over last night to help Yagi. He wouldn't have known what to do for the blonde, but it seemed that kid knew just what to say to shatter the man. He smiled faintly to himself. 'That kid has way to much power over the idiot.'  =============================================================================== Yagi blinked awake, he felt so warm and cozy. His vision was blurry and all he saw was black. 'Huh?' He thought, his mind was still foggy from sleep. He lifted his head and looked at the person that was tucked into his bed. 'Izuku...' He thought and smiled faintly. 'Thank you small one.' He uncurled from the blanket and pulled from the boy. He stared down at the smaller boy, he stroked the boys cheek with his index finger.  Carefully he pulled from the bed, tucking the boy into the bed. 'Heavy sleeper.' He mused, the boy was too sweet. Carefully he left the room, and left to the kitchen. He saw the note that Aizawa left and shook his head. 'You're soft Aizawa.' He left the note on the counter and started on a hearty breakfast. He knew that the boy would be up soon enough. 'I hope he likes omelettes.'  It didn't take long for the teen to wake up from his slumber. The boy sat in the bed and looked around the sun lit room. He buried himself in the covers, allowing himself to be covered in Yagi's scent. 'It's nice...I feel safe and warm...' He thought to himself. He buried his face into the pillows, inhale the strong comforting scent that belong to Yagi. 'I wish I could bottle it up and take it with me.' He reluctant pulled from the bed. He walked from the room. 'What time is it?' He thought as he peeked into the kitchen. He saw Yagi at the stove. "Yagi?"  "Oh good morning sleepy head, how did you sleep?" He asked him, he had a gentle smile on his face. But his expression was more open. There was a sadness to his eyes, though it was hesitant. It was like Yagi was trying to trust himself with these emotion, and allowing Izuku to witness them. It was a silent 'I'm not okay'.  "I slept well, better than I have in a long time, what about you?" Izuku asked, he walked around the kitchen, looking for the plates. He found them behind Yagi above the skin. Carefully he grabbed two plates and set them on the counter. "Forks?"  "I slept well enough, though I wouldn't mind having a nap later on." He said honestly. "Forks are right next to you." He yawned out as he flipped the omelette over. He was tired, a little happy, but sad. And it seemed at Izuku wasn't going to press. 'Thank you for understanding.' He thought, he appreciated the fact that Izuku wasn't one to press matters. "Thank you for coming last night Izuku." He said softly. "I am sure it was quite a shock to see your hero like that."  "Not really, you are human Yagi, you have seen and been through a lot." Izuku said as he set the forks aside. "I can only image the strain you have to go through on a daily basis and I don't just seen you as All Might, I see you as Yagi Toshinori as well." He hummed as he went into the fridge and grabbed some juice and ketchup. "I care about your well-being more than anything." Izuku looked at Yagi. The man himself looked touched by Izuku's words.  "I-thank you Izuku." Yagi mumbled a slight blush on his cheeks. "Though, I am sorry you had to help an adult." He informed. "At least like last night."  "I don't think you should apologize, it's only natural I come to your aid, I am your soulmate, please remember that you can rely on me." Izuku said kindly. "I am young, but I to have gone through much, more than most." He reminded the older. "I have scars just like you do, and I know how to help where others cannot." The boy smiled at Yagi, it was just a tender smile. "You've help me over the last year, let me help you too."  Yagi nodded his head. "I'll try to trust you more...I'm sorry for doubting you." Yagi whispered lowly, he had to look away from Izuku. "I'm not asking you to trust me, that will come on it's own." Izuku informed him lightly. "Just do what you feel comfortable with, last light was a stepping stone, just take your time, I'll be here for you." Izuku had moved so he was back to back with Yagi. "So please don't push me away to much."  Yagi smiled despite himself. "Please do the same for me." He said to the smaller.  Izuku grinned and hummed to himself. Agreeing with the blonde hero. "I'd never push you away Yagi."  ***** Cuddles and Milk Tea ***** Chapter Summary Yagi looks at the teen that was seated beside him. The boy was curled up on the other end of the couch, looking anywhere but him. "Izuku..." Breakfast had been normal, they had engaged in some idle chatter. Like what was happening at school, why Yagi lived with Aizawa, and how excited Izuku was for their rescue trails next week. Though once everything was gone from their platter, Yagi and Izuku cleaned up the kitchen and did the dishes. Izuku washed while Yagi dried them and put them away. Things were comfortable between them, though there was still a sheet of emotional wariness that hung over them. Izuku dried his hands on a hand rag, looking up at Yagi. "Do you wanna talk about what happened last night?" His voice soft, he wasn't going to press if Yagi didn't want to talk about it.  Yagi carefully slipped the towel from Izuku's hands and dried his own, he tossed the towel on the counter, shaking his head. "No, it's just some things I've bottled up over the years, it's not something I wish to share..." He commented. "It's too heavy to even really think about." The young man informed. "But I'll tell you when I'm ready...only when I'm ready..."  "I understand, somethings aren't meant to be shared or talked about." Izuku said understanding. "I too have things I cannot share with others..." He paused before biting his lip, chewing on it. "One day, I hope we can trust one another fully..." Izuku told him. "But we should take our time with this relationship we have, platonic or not." The boy had released his lips prior before speaking. "We've been backstabbed one to many times, and lost trust in people...so it's hard for people like us to trust someone even if said person was your soulmate...and just because we are soulmates doesn't mean we are perfect for one another...that comes with commitment and time...like any other relationship."  Yagi nodded his head, he was sincerely agreeing with the boy. He was a little impressed with how mature the teen was. "I'd like that..." Yagi smiled at him. "Come, let's get out of the kitchen." Grasping Izuku's smaller hand, he pulled him into the living room and pushed him onto the couch. "Sit, I'm going to grab some blankets."  "Alright, don't get lost." The teen teased. His eyes glowing with amusement.  "Haha..." Yagi chuckled, he walked from the living room and down the hall. He opened up the closet and pulled out some blankets. "Wait...Izuku does your mom know you are here!?" The blonde called out.  "Yes, mom was the one who walked me here!" The dark haired boy called back. "She was very understanding of the situation, she hopes that you get better."  Yagi pulled the blankets from the closet, he was content with the answer. Kicking the door shut, he walked towards the living room, dropping the blankets on top of the teen. "Your mom is a good person." He smiled as he jumped over the couch and sat beside the teen.  Izuku pulled the blankets off his head and unfolded them. Spreading it out he curled up against Yagi's side and relaxed. "Yeah, she really is the best mom in the world." Izuku grinned happily. "I couldn't ask for anyone better than her..." The boy looked blissful as he talked about his mom. "She started working out again though which is good, her and Mitsuki are doing track."  "Mitsuki?" Yagi inquired to him softly. His eyes narrowed as he tried to remember if he knew someone with that name.  "She is Katsuki's mom, and my mom's childhood friend." Izuku informed. "My mom was inspired by my work out, and the fact that I got into UA." He told the blonde. "She is doing great, she runs in the mornings with me, and after work she goes to the track field and works out with Mitsuki, she has already lost ten kilos." The boy grinned proudly. "She is so cool."  Yagi grinned at the boy, he snatched up the remote and pulled up Lulu. "She is very cool indeed." The man grinned.  "Yeah, she is my number one." The boy mumbled happily.  Warmth and pride bloomed in Yagi's chest and stomach, he hugged the boy closed to him. "What do you wanna watch?"  "Stargate SG-1!"  "That's my boy!"  =============================================================================== Yagi found himself with his head in Izuku's lap. It had only been an hour since they started watching their show. The cuddle time was doing wonders for him, he nuzzled the boy's leg and smiled to himself. The emotional connection was so calm and relaxing. The tension was pulled right out of his body, he wouldn't have thought that physical contact would do him this much good. 'Guess doing with his a soulmate is relaxing. Turning, he lied on his back looking up at the boy. Said teen was on his phone texting. "Whatcha' doing?"  "Texting mom and letting her know that things are okay." Izuku replied. "She was getting a little worried was all, but she is better know." He dropped his phone to the side and smiled down at Yagi. "Whatcha' doing?" The boy repeated the question. A toothy grin spread on his lips.  "Oh you know, overthrowing the government, burning down houses, the usual." The cheeky reply caused Izuku to snort.  "You are a dork, you'd cry if a butterfly got stuck on a marshmallow." "I would not, besides, I can be evil if I wanna be~" The man said as he pulled away, and locked the boy in his arms, rubbing his knuckles across the boy's head.  "Hahah, Yagi!" The boy wiggled and laughed. "Alright alright, you can be evil!" The choked response, causing Yagi to let go with a large grin. His eyes danced with amusement as Izuku plopped on his side.  "Rude..." Izuku had his arm over his head, peeking up at the blood, his face flushed. Sitting up the boy dropped his hands onto the couch. "You know, for someone who is in their fifties you don't act like it." Izuku informed. "You are so energetic and upbeat, even mentally I've noticed." "Well yes," Yagi started, he lied his head back down in Izuku's lap once the boy got comfortable. He was facing away from him, he sighed happily when Izuku's fingers combed through his hair and gently rubbed his scalp. "You stop aging in your early to mid twenties, that means both body and mental wise as well." He explained him lowly as he melted into the boy's lap. "Basically when you don't met your soulmate you are stuck in time." He explained to him gently. "You're stuck wondering the world until you physically touch your soulmate." The man practically purred as the nails scratched at a certain spot on his head.  "Really?" Izuku mused. "So since we met you've began to age again?"  "That's right, the moment we touched my life resumed." Yagi opened his eyes and glanced up at Izuku without moving his head. Though the vision was disrupted by his hair. "So I am not really in the my fifties, I'm still twenty five...I've just been alive that long, it's not like immortality." He explained. "It's a bit more complex..." He paused, trying to think of something. "You know how there is a theory about alternate universes?" He asked the boy, he was glad to see the boy nod his head. "Alright, well in each world, a person vibrates at a different speed right, like all those atoms around them are moving differently from the next?"  "Right, so are you saying that the atoms around you stop vibrating or slow?" The boy asked him. "So basically like you age really slow, for you it's like it hasn't even been a day since you turned twenty five?"  "Yes, it's a slow aging process, at least that's what the new data has shown." Yagi nodded. "Through the years do get to you after a while, mainly because of everything you gone through."  "Yeah...I guess that's only natural, though I am glad..." Izuku smiled down at Yagi, he tucked his blonde bangs behind his ear. "That means, I get to be with you a lot longer." The boy's smile was bright and wide.  Yagi hummed in agreement, his eyelids drooped. "I'm glad too..." He closed his eyes fully. "I'mma nap...wake me up in a bit."  "Alright, sweet dreams Yagi..."  "Mhmm." The hero fell asleep, he was peaceful and content.  Izuku smiled down at the man. "I'm glad I can help you..." Izuku mumbled. "I just wish there was more I could do to ease your pain." =============================================================================== Izuku played on his phone while Yagi's slept peacefully. His leg had gone numb from Yagi's head. But he dared not move, he didn't want to risk waking the man up. He suffered through it and eventually his legs went completely numb. So it was sorta a win win. He had been texting his two new friends about what was going on and where he was. The two had been worried about him. Tenya had gotten his notes. Izuku was so thankful to the man, he had also been told that Tenya had been elected as class president. And that the press had broke into the school somehow. He was impressed and very proud of Tenya.  Yagi shifted a bit and slowly opened his eyes, he pushed up and sat there, yawning. "Hey..." He mumbled. "How long was I out?"  "A good three hours, how was your nap?" The boy asked him as he put his phone down. "You doing okay?" Izuku looked at him and stretched out his legs. "I can't feel my legs..." The boy gasped out. "Oh no the pins and needles." The boy whimpered.  The blonde shook his head, a smile on his face. "I enjoy your mild suffering...but you could have just moved me you know?" Yagi informed him as he rubbed his face. Dropping his hand he scratched at his bare chest.  "I know, but you were comfortable and looked rather peaceful..." Izuku whimpered out as he moved his leg outward. "Oh the agony..."  Yagi chuckled at him and watched the boy. "You're silly my boy." He stood up from the couch, stretching his arms he walked towards the kitchen. "Want anything to drink?"  "Some milk tea please." Izuku called to him as he suffered on the couch. "With some honey if possible."  "Warmed?" Yagi asked as he got the cups out. 'Milk tea does sound good.' He thought. 'Though...' He looked up at Izuku. '...' He shook his head.  "Yes please!"  Yagi made the cups and walked towards the boy, said boy was stretching out and relaxing. "Feeling better?"  "Much better." The boy curled up against the couch and took the offered mug. "Thank you..." The boy pulled the warm cup to him and blew on it. "Smells great."  Sitting down, Yagi sipped on his beverage. Yagi looks at the teen that was seated beside him. The boy was curled up on the other end of the couch, looking anywhere but him. "Izuku..." The boy looked at him, his green eyes soft and warm. "Yeah?"  "..." Yagi leaned over and pressed his lips to the boy's cheek before pulling away. "Thank you..."  Izuku looked at him, he looked mildly shocked, but that quickly faded into a soft loving expression. "You're welcome."  ***** What if we ruin it all and love like fools ***** Chapter Summary Yagi spills the truth, but he is still in denial. Kiri learns a thing or two about his soulmate thanks to Izuku Inko finds her soulmates and holy hell Sam/Snipe is a God among men. Yagi was thankful that Izuku had come over for the day, he was sad to see him go after Aizawa had gotten home. Aizawa had been kind enough to not ask questions, he just simply handed over the homework. Inko had come in a few minutes later, picking up her son and making sure that Yagi was alright. Which he was, he had thanked the woman sincerely for allowing Izuku to come over at such an odd hour. Inko was very understanding, and she would have done the same thing to her soulmate as well. Yagi closed the door and locked it. He sighed heavily and shuffled his way to his room and closed the door wanting some alone time with his thoughts. There he flopped on the bed. “Ugh….” He groaned out as he tried to suffocate himself with his own pillow. Moving his arms he shoved them under the same pillow and turned his head. He hadn’t noticed Aizawa come into his room. “Oof!” Yagi grunted, he could feel the weight of the other man on his back. “Do you mind?” “No.” Aizawa voice was bland as he crossed his legs. He was sitting on the man’s back a cup of tea in his hands. “Suffer in silence, I’m mad at you.” “Sho-” “Silence!” Aizawa told him again as he sipped on his tea. He really was mad at Yagi. The blonde sighed heavily and lied there. The man wasn’t all that heavy, but the pressure on his lower back hurt. He knew that Aizawa was going to be upset with him. He closed his eyes and relaxed as much as he could. Allowing Aizawa’s odd punishment to settle in. “What happened last night, that cause you to snap like that?” The voice cut through the silence. “And why did you keep it from me?” Aizawa sounded hurt, but his voice was rather flat as normal. But how Yagi could tell he was hurt was by the words that he used. Yagi knew that the man felt hurt. “It’s...it’s complicated.” Yagi carefully rolled over, making sure that Aizawa was sitting on his stomach rather then his back. The smaller man had his eyes closed as he sipped on his tea. “Do you remember...when you and I first met, and how?” “It was an operation, it was my first solo mission.” Aizawa informed him. “You had managed to get into an underground fight ring.” Aizawa opened his eyes and looked at the blonde. “You were pissed, holding up a man  by his face...threatening to crush his skull.” His lips twitched downward. “It was rather villainous.” He mused. “Yes…” Yagi mumbled, he could feel the disappointed in Shouta's body language. “I have been looking for All for One.” He informed lightly. He could feel Aizawa tense, the man betrayed himself. His dark eyes wide and locked with the wall. “All for One has caused much grief in my life, killing Nana…” He whispered gently. “The name even bring me great rage, like an atomic bomb going off in my chest kind of rage.” He could feel his own body tremble. “I’ve looked high and low for All for One since that day.” Yagi explained softly, he gently and slowly fingered the others shirt. “I found his family.” He explained. “His son and wife…” “The Midoriya’s.” The black haired man murmured, he could feel the man’s body tense sharply. “And All for One seems to be Izuku’s father.” The man nodded his head once again. “I was at their house yesterday and saw the picture on their fridge, it was old and Izuku was still a baby at the time, but there was no mistaking it, it was All for One...but he was going by his name Hisashi.” He looked at Aizawa. “Taking Inko’s maiden name instead.” He informed softly. “Though, I doubt they would even recognize him...the man has become rather scarred.” Aizawa looked at Yagi carefully. The man’s sky blue eyes held so much anger and betrayal. “You do care for the family don’t you…for Izuku at least.” “Not at first, not until last night...” Yagi said truthfully. “They were just a means to get closer to All for One…” He looked so sad. “Some things came into light last night while Izuku was here.” “Hm?” “Last night, I realized that Izuku is nothing like his father, he is warmth…” He told him gently. “He is love, and above all he is like the sun, so full of giving life.” He whispered sadly. “I had planned on using Izuku to get to his father, by giving him One for All, and dragging the son of a bitch out of hiding.” He looked at Aizawa carefully. “But I can no longer do such a thing.” “You wish to protect him don’t you, you’ve been blinded for so long by your anger and grief.” The man shifted on top of the other, and let his legs drop onto the bed, though he still remained on top of the blonde hero. “The kid isn’t your pawn, he isn’t meant to be a part of your silly revenge plot, don’t be a fool.” The truth was harsh with Aizawa. “Yes, he’s my soulmate...but I don’t even know the meaning of it, Izuku knows more about it than I.” He looked away from Aizawa and looked at the ceiling. “I’ve wronged the boy so much…and if he finds out he’ll be so hurt.” “Yes he would be, because he loves and trusts you and you completely over stepped so many lines without care.” He told him. “Though I don’t doubt your affections for him were false.” “What do you mean by that?” Yagi looked up at him. “How do you know they weren’t just a ploy, some big scheme to make him act for my own sake.” The guilt was heavy on him. “I think all this time, you’ve truly cared for the boy, you’re not a monster just a man...and humans do crazy things under grief.” Aizawa looked down at Yagi. “Toshinori...I usually tell people to be honest, but with this, lock it away so far back.” He informed. “Never tell Izuku it will completely crush him.” Yagi nodded his head. “Alright…” He whispered, the guilt was thick and heavy in his voice. “...what shall I do then?” “Move forward day by day.” Aizawa put his cup on the nightstand and lied down beside the blonde and held his hand. Giving him comfort. “As you America’s say,” “Be brave, be free, and live at liberty?” Aizawa snorted at the saying. “I don’t even know what Americans say to be honest…” “No, but thank you Shouta…” The blonde held his friends hand and lied their with the comfort. “And it’s a dollar a day, but I understood what you were trying to say...so really thanks.” “Yeah no problem.” He mumbled. “Yagi, I know you carry that burden with you...but try to remember that you do have people here for you.” “I know...it’s just, I’ve been alone for so long…” Yagi felt tears burn at his eyes as he looked at the ceiling. “Ever since Nana, I’ve been alone emotionally...everything became so bleak…” “She was family, literally the only family you’ve only known.” Aizawa didn’t mind that the other was crying. “It’s hard to trust people and with a past like yours it’s hard as well.” Aizawa looked at him and brought a hand up and touched his cheek. Wiping a tear away. “You don’t always have to do things alone,” Aizawa paused for a second. “I am here.” =============================================================================== Izuku caught up on the missing work that Aizawa had brought to him. He looked over the notes that Tenya had given him. He had left him a note of his cell number so that they could talk about some things.   Picking up his phone he called the taller teen. “Hey.” He chirped. “Thanks for calling Izuku, I was worried seeing how you didn’t show up for school.” Tenya’s voice was so gently and relieved at hearing the other boy’s voice. “Mr. Aizawa had informed us that you were with All Might and that some soulmate business had popped up.” “Yeah, it was pretty awful last night...Yagi had a breakdown, he had too much on his shoulders…” Izuku informed. “He thinks, no believes that he carries the world on his shoulders, I think he fears if he let's it go that the world will fall…” “I am not surprised, a lot of people rely on him.” Tenya was soft spoken, Izuku found that he could easily talk to Tenya about really anything. The man was so understanding of them. And always tried to be a pillar for them. “He is the number one hero in the world, that's a lot of pressure for one person, people can be worn down so easily…” “I have this star in my room, I found it in a junkyard when I was little…” Tenya informed. “I keep it on a satin pillow above my bed...it’s worn down and smooth, too many people wished on it and that's a lot of pressure for one little star.” Izuku listened to the other carefully, wondering where the man was going to go with this. ‘Normally Tenya doesn’t say much about himself…’ “That pressure caused it to fall from the sky, it had shined so bright once, now it’s dull and lifeless, the dreams that it carried, the wishes all caused it to crash to the earth, making them burn up in the atmosphere.” “What I am trying to say is, All Might does carry the weight of the world on his shoulders...and that pressure that he feels will cause him to fall from grace.”Tenya was serious.“People think he is unbreakable, and they put him on a pedestal, make him a god.”Tenya seemed to find it sad.“But the reality is, he is just a human like you and I, faults and all...he is no god.” “I agree…” Izuku hadn't thought about it like that. He didn’t understand, but know he did. Yagi did carry everyone’s hopes and dreams. He did...but he was only a human being. “What do I do?” “Do heroes have heroes Izuku?”  Tenya asked, his tone a lot softer, if not sadder then before.“No they don’t, so who will save the heroes when they fall?” Izuku bit his bottom lip. He could feel his own eyes burning and the tears dripping down his face and onto his lap. “No one will...but that's why we are heroes is it not?” Tenya’s voice was soft and so very gently. “Let's help save everyone we can, even the heroes...heroes meddle where they are not wanted right?” “Right…” Izuku choked out as he rubbed his face. “Then be the hero that All Might needs.” =============================================================================== Izuku walked to school the next day. He had talked a little bit more to Tenya, they both had decided to do their best into becoming the next generations of heroes that will defend all, not just civilians. He had felt lighter and better than ever. He felt invigorated by it all. Bouncing into his classroom, he greeted Uraraka who hugged him as soon as he entered. She had been worried about him, and insisted that they shared numbers so that she could get a hold of him. Izuku didn’t mind, though he was flustered since he had never given a girl his number before. He rubbed the back of his neck. He carefully, put his homework on a basket on the teachers desk and took some papers off it and walked to his desk. He looked at what they needed for the trip next week. “USJ.” He mumbled, he could feel his body vibrate from glee. ‘I cannot wait to see what we will be doing!’ He thought as he looked at the list. He would need very little. ‘I’ll need to go shopping, maybe Uraraka and Tenya would like to go with me.’ He mused. ‘We could all go shopping together.’ The day was eventful, they got project and worked in groups of two, so that everyone managed to get with someone. Kirishima managed to end up working with Izuku and to say the least it was surprising. “I figured that you’d want to work with Kacchan.” He said to the red head. “Seeing how you to get along so well.” “Yeah…” Kirishima smiled faintly. His hands ran through his hair. “Turns out he and I are soulmates.” He informed. “I found out at the end of the battle simulation, after seeing his arm on his shoulder, you know the roman number five.” He said. “Though he said that he had no desire to have one and informed me that he was rather straight.” Kirishima shrugged his shoulders. “Oh I’m sorry Kiri.” Izuku said softly. The pain that Kiri was going through must have hurt. “Hopefully you two can have a platonic relationship, Kacchan isn’t really good at feelings, he is rather insecure about them.” He whispered to Kiri so that no one over heard. “He has been praise a lot over the smallest of things, and it’s hurt him gravely.” He was glad that Kiri leaned in close. “Really?” He mumbled back. His red eyes flickering over towards Katsuki who was working with Tooru who didn’t seem to mind his temper. Though seemly completely content with his behavior. “Yeah, he builds himself up really high and pushes himself really hard…” The shorter teen explained, getting the red heads attention again. “He cares...but he is just hard on himself and expect the best.” “Like a double edge sword?” Kiri mused, he could see that very clearly now. “Yeah, just be his friend Kirishima, he needs that the most...believe it or not Kacchan is a very lonely person.” Izuku leaned back a little bit. “He is scared...has always been scared even pushed me away because of it.” Izuku looked at Katsuki carefully. “He needs someone who can see the passion that he carries and can look past his rough exterior and climb those walls that he has put up.” “He is just a kid trying to do his best.” Kiri finished. He looked at Izuku he can see that he truly cares about Kacchan, the dark haired boy looked so sad as he looked at the ash blonde. “Kiri you might not be his perfect match, but I know you can be his foundation.” Izuku looked at him softly. A small smile on his face. “Help him grow and know of true love and friendship, I couldn’t give him that growing up...but you can.” Kiri felt as though he was being trusted with someone dear. “You’re trusting me with him?” “Of course…” Izuku said softly. “Everyone else has given up on him...even I did…” Izuku whispered painfully. “He is hard, brash, can be cruel.” He looked at his desk. “But it's just covering up the self inflicted scars he carries.” “Those hardest to love need it most.” Kiri looked at the paper he had been writing. “I’ll do my best to be his friend, thank you Izuku.” Izuku smiled up at him, it was near blinding. “No problem, now let's get onto his project!” He chirped. =============================================================================== Inko walked the store, she was looking at the protein shakes, she had bought some more weights and was currently wearing them on her ankles and wrist. They were all twenty pounds each. She had been working hard to get herself back into shape. She was getting there, she was down in a size ten instead of a size fourteen. It was a great relief on her shoulders. She hummed happily as she held the container. “Strawberry or chocolate?” She asked herself. She had been reading up on them, she had been wanting to gain some muscle for some time. She was unsure though. She didn’t want them to taste bad. “They will taste a little odd at first.” A new voice entered as he stepped in beside her. Inko looked up and saw the taller man, she was a little taken back. The man was handsome, he looked to be african descent, his skin was a dark brown color. His eyes a deep brown as well. His lips were thick but soft. His nose was thick. He was beautiful in Inko’s eyes. The man smiled at her gently. “Like what you see.” He wiggled his eyebrows at her. Inko flushed heavily. “I um yes?” She said to him bluntly. Her face heated up when the man laughed. Even his laugh was amazing. “How cute.” He pushed his hands through his dreadlocks. He had a bit of a blush settling on his cheeks. “Thank you.” He grinned. Inko smiled faintly. “Sorry about that, I was just taken back and just answers what I was thinking…” The woman grinned lightly. “So honestly, the name is Sam.” He said holding out his hand. “And yours?” “Inko.” She grinned as she shook his hand. “So you said that these will taste weird at first?” She asked him as she pulled away and looked at the jugs. “How long does that last for?” “Yeah, they taste a little chalky at first, it just depends really, for me it took a few weeks, but the result was worth it.” He flexed a bit showing her his muscles. “It helps build muscles during and after a workout.” Inko nodded her head. “That's what I am aiming for.” She mused. “My son recently got into UA, it had seemed rather hopeless for a number of years but he managed to do it and not give up, so...it inspired me to do my best and step one is to get back into shape.” Sam smiled at her an grinned. “I am sure you can do it.” He grinned. “But I’d go with strawberry, it actually taste like strawberry milk if you add some actual milk to it.” He informed her. “Some people use water and its gross in my opinion.” He turned to face her fully. Inko nodded her head and put the chocolate one back and the strawberry into her cart. Shr looked at Sam and smiled, though she then took notice of his soulmark that was half way covered on his shoulder. She stared at him. And he was staring at her with the same expression. “No way.” He whispered, he looked amazed. “You’re my soulmate…” He whispered to her. His brown eyes shined happily though. “I have two soulmates…” He grinned happily. Inko blinked as she looked at him. “Wait two?” She asked him. “Someone else has a soulmate mark like this?” She looked at her left shoulder, it looked like a lotus blossom. “Yeah...it looks like it.” He whispered and pulled out his phone. “I’ll call her, she is going to be so excited!” He told her happily. “Oh, okay.” Inko was so happy, yet confused. ‘Two soulmates...wait until Izuku hears about this…’ She thought, she could feel her own link blossom with life and warmth. She looked up at Sam, he looked to be so genuinely happy. She didn’t eavesdrop on his phone call. She occupied herself with her own phone, looking for some healthy meals for herself for lunch. She could make herself some coconut bean curry, the meal was vegan, but it looked so good. And she love coconut. “Inko.” Sam called to her gently, pulling her from her phone. Inko looked up and smiled at him. “Yes?” “Nemuri said she is on her way and that we so need to go get some lunch her treat.” He chuckled at her. “Would that be okay with you?” Inko nodded her head. “Yeah, better than actually making it.” She told him. “Let's get shopping done, and head out to meet her.” Sam nodded his head and finished his shopping, he found himself liking Inko. She was gentle and honest. He could see that she was pure and so very strong. She carried a lot on her shoulders. He smiled warmly to himself, he could tell that she was going to be a major part of his and Nemuri’s life. He had checked her hands, and noticed that she wasn't wearing a ring on her left hand. So it meant that she was single and or just not wearing it. He was hoping that it was the latter. 'Please let her be single.'  Walking out of the store he held his bags and saw Nemuri running towards the market, she was in her heels. “Here she comes, brace for it.” He warned Inko who looked at the dark haired woman running at them full speed. She was taken by surprise when the woman tackled her into an embrace. “You found her!” She said happily, nuzzling Inko’s cheek with her own. “She is so perfect!” The heroine squeal in delight as she continued to love on the surprised woman. Inko flushed heavily. “Oh my.” She giggled, she would have never thought that she would ever find her soulmate, much less soulmates. But she guessed it all made sense now. Seeing how the emotions she felt on a day to day from what seemed to be like two different people. But she always assumed that it was just from someone who had bipolar disorder. But it was now clear that she had two soulmates. “We can talk at lunch, I cannot wait to get to know you Inko!” Nemuri grinned happily as she pulled Inko down the sidewalk. Sam heavily laughed and grabbed Inko’s bags while she was dragged. "Sam had said you were cute, but my word those words are weak, you're absolutely gorgeous!" “Do be too alarmed, Nemuri is rather dominate.” He informed Inko. “She cares, and she has been excited to meet you and so have I.” He said gently as he walked beside them, easily keeping up with them with his long strides. “So let us know if you get overwhelm okay?” He patted the back of her shoulder. Inko was touched by Sam’s words. She nodded her head and looked forward and looked at Nemuri who was chatting away as she looked for the perfect place to have lunch at. “I’m on a diet, but maybe today can be a cheat day.” She said to the long haired hero. Nemuri just nodded happily. “Cheat day for the both of us!” ‘This is gonna be fun.’ Inko smiled to herself as she allowed herself to be dragged around by her soulmates. ***** Weekend plans and drunk blondes ***** Chapter Summary Just like the title says... I have lost my will to live with Toshi and grabby hands.... The school week went by quickly, and Friday was upon them, Izuku stretched his arms above his head, he moaned happily as his arms popped. “Sweet bliss.” He purred as he dropped his arms. He looked at his phone it was currently four in the afternoon, his mom was going to be gone by the time he got home. She would be staying at the Bakugou’s since it was just a couple of blocks away from the hospital. He texted his mom letting her know he loved her and that she was gonna be great. ‘Maybe I should stop by and bring some coffee for her and her coworkers.’ He mused. He saw Yagi and waved at him as he walked passed the parking lot. The blonde waved back and got into his car. ‘Must be on his way home or something.’ He mused, he was glad that Yagi was taking it a little easier on himself. The emotional turmoil wasn’t as bad as before. ‘He must be a little relieved after what happened on Wednesday. Walking down the steps he pulls out his school ID and scans it opening the large metal door so he can get out. He had asked Tenya and Uraraka if they had any plans. Tenya had said that he was going to work out and practice with his brother for the USJ trip on monday, he wanted to as prompt as he could get. Uraraka was helping her mother with a bake sale for her mothers shrine. She was wanting to save up for White day next month. Which wasn’t a bad idea in Izuku’s mind. He wouldn’t mind making the class some obligation chocolates. He knew that Yagi like really bitter chocolate, and Aizawa like white chocolate, he had seen the man devore a large one bar the other day. ‘I wonder what Tenya likes, maybe some Orange Cream chocolate since he likes oranges?’ He mused, he walked down the sidewalk heading home. “I should plan something for mom, maybe a nice relaxing day.” He said carefully planning something wonderful for his mom. “I have a bit of money from what dad sent me for Christmas.” He mused. “I should call him too and send him something as well, I am sure that he would like that.” He felt great about that. “Dad loves chocolate!” Thinking about White Day got him all giddy since he had friends to actually celebrate with. He knew he was bound to get some candy. Getting onto the train he held the bar, letting the older woman sit down. He pulled out his phone and his headset and plugged it in. He listened to Present Mic’s podcast since it was starting up here soon. Once at home he kicked off his shoes and closed the door. Putting his bag on the table he walked to his room and undressed and into something more comfortable. He sent Tenya a texted. ‘I wish you the best with your training bro, I hope you take some breathers!’ He smiled happily and grabbed his computer and his phone charger. Walking into the kitchen he set himself down at the table and set himself up. Starting on his homework. He had skype up and was chatting with Uraraka as she made her cookies. He was glad that he was able to meet her mom, she was such a delight. “Izuku you should totally come over this weekend and help with the bake sale!” Uraraka smiled. “It will be a lot of fun, you can interact with people and learn a few things about sales.” She grinned as she mixed some batter. “And you can save up some money as well for White Day coming up!” Izuku thought about this. “Sure, I’ll come.” He smiled at her. “I’ll do my best to help you guys out, but I’ll be a bit late, I am planning on dropping off some coffee and some breakfast for mom.” He informed her. “Awe Deku that's so sweet~” She had the biggest smile on her face. “Such a mama’s boy~” She teased him a little bit. A large grin on her pink lips. “That I am, hey don’t forget about your homework, Ectoplasm plans on collecting it on Tuesday.” He reminded her. “And if you want on the breaks we get, “I’ll help you out.” He told her. “And you can help me with Modern Lit.” He told her. “Since I suck at it.” He frowned. “I rather not have to go to cram school.” The girl laughed a bit as she rolled out the dough. “Sounds like a plan, so are you staying home by yourself this weekend?” “Yeah, mom is sleeping at a friends house, she is pulling long shifts with her friend Mitsuki.” He informed. “So since her friend only lives a couple of blocks away they just decided to carpool.” He grinned at her. “And since she is working those long hours, I’m going to be bringing her coffee and some food to help her through it.” “Ah, well you are always welcome to come and hang out at my house!” She told him happily. “I wouldn’t mind the company.” “Sounds like fun, I just might.” He grinned at her. He looked at his paper and continued on his English Paper, making sure that his sentences were right. “Why does English have to be so weird about it?” “Because it’s a big f you to the world.”Uraraka informed. “Americans and the English love to make things difficult.” “It seems so.” He mused with a smile. “But we aren’t any better.” “Ain’t that the truth.” She giggled happily. She shoved the cookies in the oven and set a timer. “I’ll talk to you later Deku, I’m going to work on my paper.” She smiled. “Toodles~” “Toodles.” He replied as he watched her turn off skype. He hummed to himself and put his finished homework away. He would work on math with Uraraka tomorrow. “I’ll make myself some udon, I know we keep some beef packets around.” He pulled from the chair and walked into the kitchen and looked through the cabinets. Finding what he was looking for he set it on the counter and grabbed some veggies from the fridge. Cutting them up he pulled out a pot and put some water in it. Setting it on the stove he turned it on, waiting for it to boil. Leaning his back against the counter he pulled out his phone. New Messages Toshi <3 Opening the message he saw that the man had sent him a few texts. ‘I saw you walking home alone, you gonna be okay with weekend by yourself?’ ‘Do you need me to come over or something?’ ‘If you need something please don’t hesitate to ask.’ ‘Did you do your homework? I know you don’t have much, but I noticed you were struggling a bit in Modern Lit. Maybe you should ask a friend for some notes?’ ‘What are you having for dinner, better no be junk food or you are grounded or a month! >:D’ ‘What are you planning for the weekend?’ Izuku laughed softly at the text. Yagi was always so worried about him. He was touched that the man cared so much about him. He texted back to him. ‘Yeah, I am fine, Tenya was picked up by his brother and Uraraka left early for the bake sale. I’ll be hanging out with her most of the weekend and helping her out. She and I are going to study a bit. And yes I did most of my homework, I’m having beef udon with some veggies and I’m thinking about adding some tofu to it. And you can’t ground me you’re not my real mom! >:O’ Sending the text he turned his head to look at the pot. Setting his phone down and off to the side he grabbed the veggies and dropped them in carefully, he put the noodles in and grabbed the tofu from the fridge and added some small chucks. He let it come to a simmer, letting the noodles soften before adding the beef mix to it. Bling Looking away from the pot he grabbed his phone and opened it up. Looking at the new text from Toshinori. ‘Thank goodness I’m not your real mom, I’d be one ugly woman. And beef udon sounds good, tofu not so much, I personally can’t stand the stuff, it’s like ew. I am glad that you have someone to hang out with this weekend, it’s better than being alone.’ Izuku laughed at this, an image ran through his head, he pictured the man with boobs and snorted. ‘I just pictured you as a woman, and it will forever have nightmares T.T. The horror!’ The boy snickered and looked at his pot. He stirred it a bit and grabbed himself a bowl and poured the contents into it. He hummed to himself and walked towards the table. Setting it down he walked into the kitchen and turned off the stove and washed the pot before putting it back. He grabbed his phone and shoved it into his pocket and went into the fridge. Getting himself some cold oolong, shutting the fridge he walked to the table and set the bottle down. Pulling out his phone he set it down on the table. He sat comfortable and started to eat. =============================================================================== Yagi sat at the bar, a glass of beer in his hand. He was staring at his phone an amused grin on his face. His friends were around him having a good time. Enji was dancing with Kyoko in the background, spinning her around and laughing joyously. Kyoko herself was flushed. Enji had been treating her so well. Yagi was happy for them he really was. Turning around in his seat he leaned against the counter and looked at the two. He could see that Enji was lovestruck as he looked at his wife and Kyoko’s expression matched his. They looked beautiful  together. Hearing his phone go off he looked down at it and smiled at the text. ‘Yes have nightmares, it’s what you get for imaging that.’ He was happy that he and Izuku were able to joke, before when their relationship first started the boy would hardly look at him. He would stutter and blush. But now the boy was so calm around him and acted like they were old friends. Which he wasn’t bothered with at all. It was only naturally seeing how they got along so well. Ten emotional hard working months, well it tended to make a bond rather strong. Turning around he grabbed his beer and downed it. The lady at the bar took his empty bottle. “A shot please, with a chaser.” He ordered. He licked the foam on his upper lip. Ding Opening the text he looked down at it. He smiled when Izuku sent up simple gif, the person in the gif. He laughed a bit at it. The boy had a weird sense of humor that seemed to match his. Getting his shot and chaser he down them both and grimaced a bit. ‘Ugh, that was horrible.’ He thought and ordered himself another. “Wanting to get wasted that bad?” Hizashi asked as he sat down beside him. “Who’ve you been texting?” “No one really, what’s up.” He asked him as he ordered Hizashi a shot. “Enjoying your night?” “Of course I am!” The long haired blonde grinned as he leaned forward against the bar. “It is a party!” “That it is, I am glad your having fun how is Shouta holding up?” He turned and looked at the man, for once his hair was up and he was sipping on some sake. He had Nemuri on him who was laughing at something Enji had said. “He is doing good, he order a sake bottle for himself.” Hizashi took his shot with Yagi. “Fuck.” The whiskey burned their throats. “I think, I’ll just stick with some beer tonight…” Hizashi chuckled. “Come and join us at the table.” He grinned at him. “I will.” Yagi smiled and ordered himself ‘Sex on the Beach’ and went and sat down at the table with the others. “Well look who decided to join us~” Kyoko teased, she was holding her wine in her hands. She was sitting in Enji’s lap, who was holding her by her waste. The man himself was relaxing in his seat sipping on his own glass of beer. “Yeah, Hizashi decided that I should do the human custom and socialize with everyone.” He joked. Kyoko giggled. “It's good to see that you still have your sense of humor.” She rolled her eyes and leaned against her husband. “So how have you been, I heard that you found a certain someone~” She grinned. “I need some juicy gossip!” Yagi grinned at this. “Well it’s true, I found my soulmate.” He told her. “He is adorable, but far too young...oh whoa is me~” He joked as he leaned back with his arm over his face. He heard her snort and laugh and chuckled to himself. Dropping his hand, he looked at the white haired woman. “How have you been?” He asked her as he sipped on his beer. “I’m doing great, it’s so nice to be with my family again.” She nodded her head. “Enji has been such a darling, and the kids have been helping be adjust to the house and the city, Shoto has been a delight, the other day he came out to be as trans and I’ve never been so proud.” She grinned happily. “Awesome.” He grinned, he was happy. The woman looked to be gushing so happily about her kids. She looked so happy and so blissful. =============================================================================== Toshi felt so drunk. He tried making his way home but decided it was to far away, and he didn’t want to drive. He thought about something. ‘Izuku~’ He grinned, feeling a bit giddy. ‘I wanna see my Izu~’ He smiled to himself. Making his way through downtown on foot. It took him a little bit to find Izuku’s house, and his mind had cleared up a bit. He had bought himself some water and a bag of chips. Walking up the stairs he was troubled, they wouldn’t stop moving. Pulling out his phone he called the boy. “Toshi?” “Izu, I can’t walk up the stairs...they won’t stop moving!” The blonde man pouted as he stared at the stairs. “They are trying to keep me away from you…” “You’re drunk aren’t you?”Izuku seemed amused by Toshinori. “This I gotta see.” Izuku hung up the phone and walked out of his house, he saw the blonde hero at the base of the stairs looking at his phone. “Toshi what are you doing here?” He asked amused, there was laughter in his voice. Izuku saw the man’s flushed but happy face. The older man looked so delighted to see him, he could feel the second heart in his chest pound rapidly. The affection he felt through the link was so adorable. The man was truly happy to see him.  “Izu, I wanted to see you!” He grinned at him. “My perfect boy~” He said as he held onto the railing. “Help me up the stairs, the damn things won’t stop moving.” Toshi explained, the blonde was so happy to see the dark haired boy. "I wanna love you." He whined as he made grabby hands at the teen.  Izuku snorted and held a hand up to his mouth. 'That was adorable.' He thought, seeing the number one hero make grabby hands at him. The poor blonde was drunk off his ass. The man was so drunk and only thought of him in this state. 'Why is he adorable.' He blushed a little bit. "Toshi you are too cute, I swear." He held up his phone recording the man who was making grabby hands at him and whining for his attention. "Izu!" He whined sadly. "I wanna love you!" He whimpered out, a pout on his lips. "I walks all the way here too, the sidewalk was a big meanie and kept trying to trip me!" He looked so sad.  “Okay, okay," Izuku giggled and stopped recording it. He put his phone in his pocket and walked down the steps and took Toshi by the hands and helped him up the stairs. "I doubt you plan on leaving tonight, which is fine.” The boy mumbled, he walked down the stairs and helped the blonde up them and into his apartment. He helped the man get his shoes off. "I rather you be here then driving home."  Toshi clung to the smaller, trying his best to get out of his shoes and fumbled into the living room. He landed on the couch with a thump. “Izu~” He called out. His tone needy. “I love you Izu~” The blond sang from the couch. He giggled a bit, feeling so happy to see his little soulmate. Locking up the house, Izuku kicked off his shoes and walked through the living room. “Let me get you something more comfortable to sleep in alright?” He grinned softly. “Then we can go and cuddle okay?” He was going to get the man some tums as well so he didn’t have the need to throw up. He was a bit flustered by the man's adorable drunken confession.  Getting some of his dad’s clothes. He walked into the living room and helped the man change into them. He was glad that the other was compliant. Getting him some tums and water as well. “Alright, how do you feel?” “Comfy, but I want some cuddles!” The drunk Toshi demand. A pout on his lips. "Now."  “Alright, alright.” Izuku said softly. “How about we go to me room.” Izuku grinned. “A nice warm, comfortable bed, you and I can cuddle and what not.” He said to him softly. “Yay~” He cooed happily and stood up, he swayed a bit before holding onto Izuku. "So strong~" He giggled as he leaned his full weight against the boy.  The dark haired teen helped the hero into his room, setting him on the bed he tucked the drunk man in. He turned on the space heater and shifted his laptop so that he could watch some videos on youtube. He crawled into the bed next to the other and relaxed, he trusted Yagi completely even when the man was drunk. Toshi grinned happily and wrapped his arms around Izuku and nuzzled his shoulder. “My good boy~” He cooed happily and closed his eyes. “You are so perfect…” “Oh thank you.” Izuku grinned. “Toshi you’re a silly and lovable drunk.” He mused as he relaxed in the blondes embrace. "It's because I love you~” Toshi sang once again, nuzzling the boy's neck. "And you are all mine~" "Yes, it seems that way." Izuku blushed again at Toshi's confession. "I love you too Toshi." He told him. He felt the man smile against his neck. The giddy sensation spread throughout his body.  "I'm sleepy..." He man mumbled and pulled his head away and nestled it into the pillow. "Nini Izu..."   “Get some sleep.” Izuku told him softly. “It’s passed my bedtime as well.” It was only eleven at night. But Izuku had a long day, and he had to get up soon enough to go get his mom's stuff and to meet Uraraka at the shrine. Tomorrow was a busy day and Toshi seemed to apply to his morning and maybe afternoon as well.  ***** I'll be good and I'll love the world as I should ***** Chapter Summary Izuku is the best son ever. Uraraka makes some observations and comes to some realizations. Yagi has some plans and he isn't sure what to do. Izuku woke up to his alarm, opening his eyes he reached over towards his desk and grabbed his phone. Turning off the alarm he turned onto his back. Looking up at the ceiling, he could feel Yagi beside him, the man hadn’t budged. Looking over at him he looked at the man’s sleeping peaceful face. Yagi’s mouth was open a little bit, he was breathing evenly. The man’s hair was all over the place. His hands tucked into his chest. He was curled up into a tight ball. Taking up most of the bed. “Must have been tucked into my back.” He mused lowly so that he didn’t wake the blonde. Moving he lied on his side, admiring the other for a bit. He tucked the blonde hair behind the ear. ‘For someone who is so huge, he is beautiful.’ He thought softly. Pulling back he sat up and stretched. Peeling the covers he got out of the bed, making sure that Toshi was still covered. He moved to his dresser and grabbed some clean clothes, leaving the bedroom. Closing the door behind him. ‘Sleep well Yagi.’ He grinned to himself. Walking down the hall he made it into the bathroom. He showered and cleaned himself up, brushing his curly hair. Making sure it didn’t frizz. He walked out fully dressed. Walking into the kitchen he grabbed some powerade and walked back to his room and set it down on the desk with some pain-pills from his desk drawer. Leaving the man a note he left the house with his keys and wallet. ‘Mom should still be at work.’ He checked his phone and nodded his head. ‘She still has a couple of hours left.’ Making his way to the coffee shop he got her and his auntie something to eat and drink. Getting on the bus he made it to the hospital. ‘Mom is gonna be tired, I hope I am nothing bothering her too much.’ He thought as he held the hot drinks in his lap. He stared out the window. ‘I should text Uraraka and let her know I’m on my way.’ He nodded to himself. ‘I wonder why she is doing a bake sale?’ Was there a reason for it. ‘Maybe it’s a charity or something, she might have mentioned something about it the other day.’ Getting off on Midori street he headed towards the hospital. Passing the parking lot, he walked inside. He waved at the receptionist. “Hey Rhys.” He smiled at the dark haired woman. “Here to see your mom?” The Native American asked. Her brown eyes lighting up at the teen. “I’ll let her know, you go right on in!” She chirped as she opened the doors. “Thanks Rhys!” He grinned happily as he made his way through the open door. Walking towards the elevator he took it to the fifth floor. Getting off he walked down the hall and took a right. He saw his mom and his aunt. “Mom! Auntie!” He greeted, getting their attention. Inko turned and looked at his son and smiled. Though it was clear that she was exhausted. There were bags under her eyes. “Hey sweetie.” She grinned, turning to face him fully. Her green eyes were locked with the items in his hand, she licked her lips. 'Coffee...' She thought. 'My son is a saint.' She felt tears in her eyes. The emotional exhaustion was getting to her. The long hours at the hospital were reaching their toll.   “Hey brat.” Mitsuki grumbled out, but her head snapped up as she smelled the coffee. “Is that coffee!?” She looked ready to jump over the counter and tackle the teenager. Her own red eyes were locked on the coffee. "Gimmie!" She lunged a bit into the counter, wanting that black gold that the boy was holding. “I come bearing gifts to appease the Goddess of the land.” He joked as he handed them the hot coffee and the food. “I got you both some pastries and some fruit as well as some energy supplements.” He told them. "You too have been working hard lately, so this weekend, I'll be dropping off some coffee and treats to keep your spirits up." He informed them. "You guys deserve it." He informed them gently.  Mitsuki snatched up the black gold. “Sweet child you are a godsend!” She downed some of the coffee. “Chocolate mocha with some cinnamon and I am assuming some whipped cream.” The ash blonde women sighed in bliss. “How do you remember all this, my husband can barely remember what we've hand for dinner." Mitsuki whispered as she held the hot cup.  Inko smiled happily she groped her cup carefully. She was so happy she could cry. “Thank you baby.” She hugged him as she kissed his cheeks. “We needed a pick me up after the night we had.” She mumbled. "Cranky drunk teenagers are a handful..." She mumbled. She closed her eyes, the smell over her own coffee pulled the ache from her bones. She had an Irish coffee. "Irish grogg." She mumbled happily. "With a hazelnut." She looked at Izuku.  “I figured that you guys would need something, people are always coming in and out of the hospital.” He mused. “And since you went in this section of the building I also figured that it would be busy non stop.” Mitsuki nodded her head and bit into her danish and hummed in delight. “So warm.” She looked at the dark haired boy. “Yeah, we had some teens come in a few hours ago, they were drunk and got into a car accident, luckily they only had some scraps and cuts.” She rolled her eyes. “Stupid.” She muttered bitterly as sh shoved the rest of the danish into her mouth. She was clearly thankful for the pick-me-up coffee and treats.  Inko reached into the small white paper bag, and pulled out her own pastry, nibbling on her food and looked at her son. “Really thank you,” she swallowed the food in her mouth. “So any plans today?” Izuku nodded his head. “Yeah, I’m going up to the Shrine, Uraraka wants to hang out for a bit.” He informed her. “She has a bake sale going on, I need some extra money for White Day to make some obligation chocolates.” He explained. Mitsuki looked at him. “Don’t the girls make the obligation chocolates?” She sipped on her coffee. She wasn't judging the boy, she was just making a simple observation. Izuku nodded his head. “Yeah, but I figured that the girls in class would enjoy some chocolates that day as well.” He said and rubbed his head. “After all they have been working pretty hard…” He blushed a little bit feeling a little shy. “And being a heroine is more difficult than being a guy since they are usually sexualized and have to maintain their looks…and seeing how we have a pervert in the class, I thought it would be nice to show them some appreciation for what they were doing and what they had to put up with on a daily basis.” “Inko how did you raise such an angel?” She asked. “I wish Katsuki was a little bit like you, geez.” She muttered but smiled. She reached over and ruffled Izuku’s hair. “You’re too sweet Izuku, I am sure the girls will enjoy it.” She smiled. Izuku smiled at the affection that his aunt gave him. “Alright.” He smiled. “Well I’m going to head out, love you both and get some sleep when you both get home, I’ll send Uncle a text here in a bit to pick you up at ten.” He informed them. With that he hugged them both and walked out of the hospital. Once out of the intense building he smiled, pulling out his phone he texted his Uncle and Uraraka. =============================================================================== Yagi opened his eyes and blinked a few times, he was in a dark room that was no his own. It seemed like honeysuckles and apples. Shifting he looked around the room, there was All Might merch all over the place, it looked like a mini museum. He looked to his right and saw there was a desk. He reached over and grabbed the powerade and saw the note. Toshi You are most likely confused as to where you are, but it’s okay. Last night you were totally waste and came to my house wanting cuddles and attention. But you weren’t even awake 20 minutes before you passed out. Your clothes are in the dryer, and I left some powerade and some pain pills on the desk. There is some fresh coffee on the kitchen. Help yourself to whatever in the fridge. I’ll be back in a couple of hours, I’ll be at the Shrine near the hospital. You are more then welcome to stay and sleep. - Izu The blonde nodded his head and set the note on the desk, grabbing the advil he popped them into his mouth and opened the powerade. Glumping down the blue contents he leaned against the wall and pushed his legs out in front of him. “This kid…” He said. “I’ve fucked up big time…” He had put a target on the kids back. “It’s only a matter of time now.” He looked at the wall. “I can’t pull out now…” Closing his eyes. “I’m no hero…” He grit his teeth. “I’m selfish…” He knew he was. The blonde sat in the darkness, the only light came from the kids save screener on his laptop. “What am I gonna do know?” He asked himself. He shook his head. “No, just because he is my soulmate doesn’t mean anything.” He told himself, trying to convince himself. “Kill one save thousands…” He whispered. He blocked off the link, not wanting to kid to feel the turmoil. “This is bigger than the both of us.” He whispered to himself. “All for One needs to be stopped, damned the consequences.” He fisted his hair. “Besides the kid is the son of the fucker…” Toshi told himself. “The kid will turn into him, he will follow the same path, it all just a matter of time.” He was trying to convinced himself. “Izuku is just like his father…” He looked at the wall. His blue eyes narrowed, he needed to steel himself. “The kid will…” He faltered and slammed his head into the wall behind him. “Who am I kidding…” He thought, he glared at the ceiling, there he noticed that there were glow in the dark stars. They made up the constellations in the sky. “Kid...what have I done to you…?” He mumbled gently. “I’m ruined a perfectly sweet child and turned you into my puppet.” He mumbled. “And here I am suppose to protect you and everyone...and yet all I have done is hurt and corrupted.” Toshi pulled the blanket back and got off the bed. Making sure the bed was made he grabbed the powerade. Walking out of the bedroom he wondered the house. He glanced at all the pictures on the wall. They were mainly of him and his mother, the occasional family of Bakugou. “Guess the families are close…” He mused. He looked at Izuku, the child looked so small. His eyes bright and green, full of life. He could see Nana in him. ‘Nana...what am I even doing?’ He looked the frame off the wall and stared at the child. He was in a sailor suit, he had the most sweetest smile on is face. He was cupping a firefly in his hands. “I can’t…” He whispered gently. “I’m sorry Izuku…” =============================================================================== Uraraka smiled and waved at Izuku who was jogging towards them. The boy dressed nicely, he was wearing a dark pair of blue jeans that fit him nicely. His hair was as tame as it was going to get. He had a black shirt, he had a light jacket on. He for once wasn’t wearing his red shoes, but some black boots. “Wow, seeing you in casual clothes is different.” She commented. “You dress nicely!” Izuku blushed and a smiled at her. “Thank you Uraraka, and you look good yourself, you make that outfit look good.” He informed her. Uraraka was wearing a pink turtleneck, she had a black long skirt on with some black flats. “It really suits you, pink really suits you.” He told her softly. Uraraka smile at him happily. “Awe thank you Deku!” She grinned happily. “People are going to be showing up here soon, let's get the cookies all set up!” She grinned. “Dad was here earlier, he showed me how to set up!” She told him as she grabbed the basket. Izuku nodded his head and walked closer and started to help out with the cookies. He set them on the display. “Where is your dad?” “Oh he will be back, he went and got us some drinks, I didn’t know what you want so I just ordered you some cocoa.” “I love cocoa.” He grinned happily. “Thanks Uraraka.” He told her. “No problem, thank you for coming, I am glad that you decided to come along.” She smiled. “How was your mom?” “Mom is good, I dropped off some coffee at her work, oh that reminds we you won’t believe what happened last night, Toshi came over last night completely wasted.” He told her with a large grin. “I took a video of it.” “Oh I have to see that, a drunk All Might.” She giggled, she just imaged the taller man all giggly and sweet. “Did he stay the night?” “Yeah, when I left he was still asleep, I left him some pills and some powerade.” He informed her. “And a note.” He nodded his head. “I didn’t want him to feel as though I just ditched him, but I doubt he even remembered coming to my house last night.” He said to her. He set up the last frosted cookie and seated himself down behind the stand with her. “Let me see Deku~” She jumped up and down, she plopped herself in her seat looking so eager. Her brown eyes wide with excitement. Izuku nodded his head and pulled his phone from his pocket and held it out to her. Letting her go into his videos and watch the video of All Might drunk off his ass. “Oh my god, grabby hands.” She giggled as she held his phone in her hands. “He is so adorable.” She told him, her pitch in her voice higher. “Oh my god, Izu.” She snickered. “That is adorable.” Izuku nodded his head. “He is really needy when he is drunk, he needed up in my bed with me and passed out.” He informed her. “He was curled up into my back.” The burnett squealed and handed him his phone back, she was so delighted by this. “Oh my goodness.” She rubbed her face.  She was shaking so much. ‘Cuteness overload.’ She thought to herself. ‘I am so happy for Deku, he deserves someone who loves him.’ She thought, she looked up at the green haired boy who was smiling at his phone. ‘He is in love with All Might.’ She knew that look anywhere, it was the same look her parents gave one another. “You really love him don’t you?” The green haired boy nodded his head. “Yeah…” He said softly as he looked at the phone. “I mean who wouldn’t be in love with Toshi…” He whispered. “He is amazing, so smart, beautiful, so careful, gentle…” He whispered as he replayed the video. “He is so considerate of everyone and tries to hold the whole world on his back...he is a beautiful disaster…” Izuku told the girl sitting next to him. Uraraka stared at him, her eyes wide. ‘Wow…’ She thought carefully. ‘I didn’t think it went that far.’ She looked at the teen standing next to her. “That’s really beautiful Deku.” She told him. The boy was startled he looked at her. “How is what I said beautiful?” He inquired to her gently. He got comfortable in his seat. He found himself able to talk to her about such things. “I mean…” “Well Deku, love is a beautiful thing you know, it’s so pure.” She grinned at him. “Love is everything, the way we breathe, the way we move, the way we look at everything.” She explained to him. Izuku nodded his head. “I guess so.” He looked at the man on his phone who was confessing to him. “Though this love will have to wait, I’m too young for such things.” He told her. “I should be worrying about school and becoming a hero.” He informed as he put away his phone. “And besides, Toshi is older then me, and well it would be wrong you know?” “I know, I hope this love will last with you, and I hope when you become of age things will be different.” She grinned at him as she leaned back in her chair. “Just work on yourself and your future.” She had to agree with  Izuku when it came to his dreams. “Just keep pushing forward!” Izuku grinned happily at her. “For our future.” =============================================================================== Yagi had walked up the steps, he stopped a few steps down. Listening to the two talk, he cupped his mouth. He could feel his tears sting at his eyes. ‘He is in love with me…’ The kid completely and utterly loved him. He trusted him. ‘He trusts me with everything, his heart and soul.’ He felt sick, sick of the thoughts in his head. Turning down he rushed down the stairs, tears blurred at his eyes. ‘I can’t…’ He ran down the sidewalk, he turned a sharp corner. And hid himself in the dark alley. He bent over and heaved harshly, he continued to throw up everything in his stomach, his nose and throat burned. “Fuck.” He panted heavily. “What have I done!” He balled his fist and slammed it into the brick wall cracking the red stone easily. He felt his tears slide down his face, they were hot and big. “I can’t...I-I…” He looked at the wall. “Why is this so hard…” He whispered to himself. “Why can’t things be simple, why did he have to go and complicate this...why did he have to be related to that man...why does he love me…” The blonde trembled harshly. His whole body shook with emotion. “I…” He bit his lip. “Izuku...I love you too…” He whispered to himself. He felt so disgusted with himself at the notion. “You’re a child…I’m sorry Izuku...I’m so sorry.” Pulling himself together the blonde rubbed his face with his jacket sleeve. He pulled from the alleyway and walked down, away from the shrine. He walked into a small shop. Grabbing a small thing of mouthwash, some cold coffee, and piece of fruit. He purchased them and walked out. Swishing his mouth out with the mint mouthwash he spit it out and tossed it in the trash, quickly he down the cold coffee and ate the fruit. ‘I should pick up my car and go home…’ He thought. ‘And get ready for USJ.’ The thought to himself. ‘I’ll text Izuku later and thank him for taking care of me last night.’ He thought solemnly. He took the bus down the the bar he was at last night. Getting his car he drove home, he thought about many things on the way. Getting into his apartment, he kicked off his shoes and hung up his jacket. He walked into the living room and flopped onto the couch. ‘I’m disgusting…’ He thought to himself. The hero lied on his back and stared at the white ceiling. ‘All Might the number one hero, the best of the best, so kind and gentle, the most loving...the most giving…’ He thought bitterly. His blue eyes held distian. ‘All a bunch of lies, I am a user, I am selfish, unloving, cold, and brutal…’ He reminded himself. ‘I have used a child for my own selfish ways to get revenge on a villain who killed the woman I loved.’ He rested his hands on his chest. ‘I forced a kid to become a target to draw out a monster, I used a pure child, someone who trust and loves me.’ He could see it now. It wasn’t there at first, but over the eleven months that they knew one another, he could see the love. And the night before was more than enough. ‘I’m a fool, a fucking fool.’ He thought bitterly. ‘How could I even think about doing that to him, doing that to a boy who cares so much about me, a family that loves me as me…’ He turned on his side, having the couch. ‘I can’t go through with it, I have to protect him, I have to keep him safe…’ He closed his eyes. ‘I have too...I have to wrong this right...I don’t want this…’ He bit his lip, chewing on it. “I...I want to love him too…” The blonde pushed from the couch. “I have to earn this.” He told him. “I have to fix all of this.” He cupped is chip and bottom lip. “I have to do something, I have to make it up to him without him knowing of my plans.” He mumbled to himself. “I have to get this all straightened out…” He had to be smart about this. “Maybe I should let him know of my plans, but make it seem like it’s a recent development.” He tilted his head to the side. “No…” He shook his head. “It has to be done with the right intentions.” “What am I gonna do, what should I do…” ***** Ignore the call ***** Chapter Summary Aizawa is protecting his students, he tells All Might that he needs to back off. Izuku is depressed, he starts to question things in his life. Starts to question what happened at USJ. Yagi's calls are ignored. Chapter Notes I didn't want to go into full detail at USJ, seeing how it's been done over and over again, so I only skimmed over it. I hope you all don't mind. Let me know what you think! Shouta stared at the green haired boy who was walking around with Uraraka, it was a late night on the town. And it seemed that they were meeting up with some friends of theirs. ‘All Might, you really need to get over this.’ He thought to himself as he sat up on the roof. He had been scouting the area, since their had been some recent petty crimes. Shouta knew that Izuku was a kind and gentle soul, not one to cause pain to someone even if said person caused him pain. He had talked to his mother after the Battle Trails. Apparently for ten long years, the boy has been bully, picked on, beat up, the boy has suffered a great discrimination. Simply because the doctor had deemed him quirkless. And the world had taken it upon itself to remind the boy every single day of how much he wasn’t needed. Aizawa couldn’t tell right away, the boy hid his pain behind a bright smile. But there were times where he caught the expression. It was a raw pain, something that no child should ever feel. He could see it in his eyes. It lingered heavily on the boy. He only saw it in small glimpse. One had to really look for it. The teacher sighed heavily. ‘All Might, whatever you have planned, whatever you do...you’re going to regret it.’ His mouth his set in a straight line. ‘The boy carries battle scars, some are infected, just because you are in his life doesn’t mean he has healed.’ He thought to himself. ‘A year's worth of love and acceptance...that cover nothing, love cannot heal pain.’ Shouta looked away from the teens and scanned the area. ‘The boy even to this day is hurting, and you are too selfish to see it.’ He thought bitterly. ‘I’m disappointed…’ He shook his head. Standing up on the ledge he scaled his way down. He found his target, it was some ground man that’s been pick pocketing. ‘I am not one to interfere with most things, but I will not allow you to harm my student.’ He moved forward, catching the older man. He tied the man up in his scarf. ‘Even if it means pulling him away, I will protect him…’ Pulling out his phone he called the police, having them come over to get the petty man. The clean shaven man was looking rather ashamed and guilty. ‘I don’t trust you All Might, you may be a good person, but you are blinded by your emotions, and you will not drag a kid down with you, I don’t care if he is the son of a villain, the kid isn’t like his father.’ Once the police officer arrived he handed the man over. Moving away, he walked the sidewalk. ‘I am your friend All Might, I’m doing this for Izuku and your own good...if you care for him even a little bit, you won’t stop me.’ =============================================================================== The weekend went by quickly, Monday rolled upon them. Izuku walked into class, sitting himself down at his desk. He had his head resting on his arms as he looked out the window. Today wasn’t really a good day for Izuku today. He had woken up rather depressed. Even though he was very excited about the USJ trip, he just couldn’t bring himself to care. He did though he did care, but he just couldn’t. He felt as though he was stuck in between a rock and a hard place. His mother had been rather supportive and he even talked to his Auntie about it. She had always known what to say, she never beat around the bush. She had been gentle with him today though. ‘ Just try your best today, don’t push yourself too hard. Once school is over go home and take a long bath, I believe you just need some time alone, these last few months you haven’t been alone really, you’ve been working yourself pretty hard. You are probably just feeling the effects of it all.’ Izuku had to agree with that, but he knew he had to work ten times as hard as the others to catch up. He turned his head and face the class. There were so many of them, so many that were born with their quirks and had a change to actually get used to them. Izuku didn’t, his processes had been quickly rushed, and All Might wasn’t the best at explaining things. Sighing to himself he looked at his hand. ‘I knew to find away to control it effectively…’ He told himself. ‘We can’t really practice it without causing a lot of harm.’ He bit his lip. During this battle trial he wasn’t going to use it, he had to work around it. ‘I have to plan something…’ =============================================================================== Yagi stared at Aizawa, his eyes boring into his. “You cannot be serious.” “I am, you have caused me enough trouble.” Shouta informed him as he held his mug in his hand. “I have stood by for nearly a year, watching as you make your damn puppet, I won’t allow you continue down this road.” He informed him. “You don’t have the right, he is my soulmate!” “Exactly, and you’re treating him as if he is some thing!” The man snapped at Toshinori. The blonde flinched a little at the sudden shout. “You’ve taken things too far Toshinori, the kid will die because of you!” He glared at the blonde, he was livid. “You’re supposed to be a hero, not some villain!” The man reprimanded. Toshinori looked away from Aizawa, his blue eyes glaring at the desk. “I know you are suffering, but you need to let it go.” He told him. “You’ve allowed this wound to become infected, you are using an innocent human being, someone who trusts you.” Aizawa told him bluntly. “I won't allow you to to this, I won’t allow you to drag someone down with you.” The dark haired man was doing this because he cared. “I’m doing this because I care, I care about you and Izuku.” His voice softened. The blonde flinched at this. He couldn’t bring himself to look at Aizawa. “I know…” He whispered. “I know what I’ve done...what I had done...what I had planned.” “Had?” “I heard some things the other night...I saw something…” He whispered to the other. “And I couldn’t bring myself to do this to Izuku...the kid is in love with me.” Aizawa stood there a bit shell shocked by this news. “And?” “I won’t use him...not Izuku...I’ve done enough damage...people have done enough damage to him.” He whispered softly. His voice cracking and breaking a little bit. “For years, I’ve felt so much heartbreak, for years I’ve felt the pain, the pure unfiltered agony…” He put his hand over his chest, right were he could feel the phantom heart beats. “The pain has always lingered it hasn’t faded away in years...I…” he dropped his hand. “The boy gave me his heart…” He looked forward. “As broken and shattered as it is, he gave it to the likes of me, trusting me with the pieces.” He looked at Aizawa. “I can’t use him...not now...not ever.” Aizawa stared at the man carefully. He knew the boy better then him, he could feel what the boy was feeling. ‘The pain lingers…’ He thought and sighed, closing his eyes for a moment. “Toshinori, I don’t trust you, but the boy does.” He looked at him. “You even show a hint of using the boy, I’ll make you regret it do you understand me.” “I know, and I understand…” “I don’t think you really do…” Aizawa told him, he set his mug down. “After this trip, I want you go away for awhile and really try and understand what you have done.” He told him. “I think it would be best for you to take a break.” “A break...from what?” “Life, this job, hero business.” He told him softly. “You need to really clear your head, I can see the understanding behind your eyes, it’s little.” Aizawa informed him. “But the years have damaged you, you need to think about cleaning that wound on your heart, it’s badly infected.” He told him gently. “And no one can clean it but you, you are the only person who knows that wound, maybe you should go and visit her grave and talk to her...really talk to her.” Toshinori nodded his head. “I’ll think about it.” =============================================================================== The trip to the USJ had been decent, they had teased Katsuki, commented on one another’s quirks. It had been a decent bonding moment for the class. They had all been excited about meeting the hero 13, and how the man had explained that his quirk was could both save someone and kill. It had been an interesting perceptive. But the joy didn’t last long. The building had been thrown into utter chaos. The world had tipped over, and everything became a lot more darker. Villains had come, some how they knew they would have been there. Somehow they new the place and the time this students would arrive. Their teachers tried their best to keep them safe and get them out of the building before the villains harmed them. Aizawa did his best to keep the villains back while 13 had them exit through the main doors. But they were quickly stopped by a villain who could use the void and teleportation. Tenya had managed to get out, using his Engine Boosts to run as fast as he could to get to the teachers for back up. He ran and worked himself as fast as he could go. He could only hope that the teachers were on their way as well.   Most of the students had been scattered across the area, but it seemed that the villains had no idea what their quirks were, otherwise they wouldn’t be in the certain areas where their quirks could be used easily. Izuku had found this out while talking with Tsuyu, seeing how they were on a boat in the middle of the water. They managed to escape with Izuku only breaking two of his fingers. Minta hadn’t been as much help as he could have been. But he did what he could even in his panic. Getting to the shore, they waited in the water. Izuku was sure that they had been noticed by the main villains. They weren’t blending well at all. One of them was purple and grapish looking. When the Nomu attacked, there was nothing but unfiltered fear that coursed through him as well as rage. The silver haired man scared him more than the Nomu did. =============================================================================== All Might stood upon the common villains, walking around them. Not caring for a single one of them. He was livid, he saw Izuku he could feel the fear. He looked at the green eyed boy from the corner of his eye. “Get out of here now.” He told them firmly. “The other teachers will be here shortly.”   The battle quickly escalated between him and the monster. Though it went by quickly, only a single punch of his plus ultra sent the thing flying. Turning his head, his blue eyes locked with the silver haired man. Stepping towards him. “You will pay.” He growled out, his teeth were barred. ‘How dare they attack my students, how dare they attack Izuku.’ He was livid pissed. ‘I’ll kill them!’ He watched as the mist villain grabbed the boy and take off, making sure that the teen lived another day. The silver haired teen wasn’t happy in the slightest and was throwing a huge fit. Turning away All Might stalked the path. He felt the body’s fear lick at his back his heart was pounding painfully in his chest. =============================================================================== Izuku sat in the nurse’s office. He stared at his hand, the pain was gone. ‘We almost died.’ He thought to himself. Getting up, he grabbed the note from Recovery Girl. She had been saying something, but he had ignored her. He walked out and left the building. ‘I just want to go home…’ He wanted to see his mom. His mom would make everything okay. He could see the Nomu was in the back of his mind, watching as he slammed Aizawa’s head into the ground over and over again. The way the beast moved so quickly, the way he took his punch. The way it wa built. It made him feel so sick. ‘I...I wasn’t strong enough.’ He thought to himself. ‘I am nowhere near All Might...I’m not a hero…’ He thought to himself bitterly. ‘Every single time I use my power, I hurt myself that much is evident.’ Walking out of the parking lot. He saw the chevy impala. He knew that it was Toshinori. Something hardened in his gut, he took off. Running away as fast as he could go. ‘I can’t face him, not now.’ He heard Toshinori’s voice screaming his name as he ran. ‘I’m sorry, I can’t.’ He thought. He made his way home quickly. His lungs burned and his whole body ached. He quickly made it up the stairs. Opening the door to his house, he quickly went inside and slammed the door shut. He threw his bag onto the sall stand kicked off his shoes. “Mom I’m home!” He called out. He walked forward and looked around. “Mom?” He called out again. Walking into the kitchen he walked towards the fridge, he saw a note on the door. Sweetheart, I got called into work, there was an emergency at the center. I’ll be home around midnight. There is some food in the fridge, just heat it up in the microwave. I love you -Mama He left the note on the fridge, opening the door he grabbed a vitamin water and saw the food. ‘I’m not hungry…’ Izuku didn’t think he could eat at all. He had a feeling it would only make him sick. He heard his phone ring, pulling out his phone he looked at who was calling it was Yagi. Pressing the red circle he ignored it. Walking to his room he sat on his bed and held his legs to his chest, he dropped his bottle beside him. ‘Why…’ He thought to himself. He could feel himself shaking terribly. ‘Why am I like this…’ His phone started to ring again. He looked down at his feet and saw it was Toshinori again. He could feel a mild panic from Toshinori. ‘Stop calling me…’ He thought. ‘I don’t want to talk to you...I don’t want to see you, just let me be…’ He watched as the ringing stop. He closed his eyes. “You look just like him, only without the scarring.” Izuku held his knees tightly, digging his nails into his knees. “Sensei would love to meet you, after all it has been a while Midoriya-sama~” Izuku felt sick to his stomach, he had heard everything, the silver haired man knew who he was. He opened his eyes when he heard his phone ring again, it pulled him from his thoughts. It was just Toshinori again. Signing heavily he waited for the call to end. Picking up the phone he opened up his text. ‘ Stop calling me, you’re being annoying. I don’t want to talk to you.’Izuku looked at the text before he deleted it. He sighed heavily and dropped the phone on his bed. Lying down on his side he stared at the device. Toshinori was calling him again. ‘Stop it...please…’ He felt his eyes burn with tears. ‘Stop calling me...I don’t want to talk to you…’ He shut himself off from Toshinori and pulled himself away from the blonde fully. Blocking him off completely. He had felt a it of a panic before he completely shut him out. After a while he lied on the bed. His phone had been going on non-stop. Getting up, he grabbed his phone turning it off. He stood up from is bed and tossed the phone onto his desk and grabbed some night clothes. Walking to the bathroom he drew himself a bath. He faintly heard a pounding on the door and ignored it. Stripping out of his clothes he got into the tub and allowed himself to sit in the hot water it utter silence. The only sound he could now hear was the droplets of water. He heard the pounding at his door once again, he knew it had to be All Might. Sighing heavily he sunk deeper into the water and closed his eyes. ‘Just go away!’ He wanted to scream at him. ‘GO AWAY!’ After a bit, the pounding at the door stopped. He was thankful for that, hopefully the hero had left him alone. He could only hope that the other did. He needed to be left alone, he needed this time to really think about some things. Like how did the villains know where they were, how did the silver haired man know his name. Who was this sensei of his. And how did he look like this sensei person. Getting out of the tub, he dried himself off. He pulled on his clothes and walked out of the bathroom. Walking into the living room he pulled on his shoes. ‘I’m going to the store…’ He thought. ‘Some ice cream would help.’ He thought carefully. Grabbing his house keys he pulled on his jacket. Peeking through the peephole he looked around. He didn’t see the blonde man standing at his door. He walked towards the window and carefully looked out through the blinds. ‘No car.’ He thought. ‘Guess he went home.’ He felt relief. Walking into his room he grabbed his phone off his desk and headed out. Walking down the steps of the apartment he saw the impala, he saw Yagi inside on the phone. Pulling his hood over his head he headed passed the hero. He didn’t need to be spotted. With more ease then he suspected he made it out of the complex and onto the sidewalk. ‘Thank god.’ He breathed heavily. ‘That was easy...too easy.’ He looked behind him he didn’t see the car pulling out. ‘Guess he is still on the phone.’ Looking forward he walked towards the middle mart down the street. ‘Green tea ice cream.’ He thought, that sounded so good about now. He pulled his phone from his pocket and unraveled his headphones. Putting the buds in his ear he turned on his phone. He had so many missed calls from Toshinori. ‘This man doesn’t give up does he?’ He thought to himself. He pulled up the text messages. ‘You don’t know when to give up do you?’He sent the text and shoved it into his pocket. The music blared into his ears. Blocking out the world, walking into the back he found his desired ice cream and grabbed a small container of it. Bling ‘Where have you been, why are you ignoring me?’ ‘Maybe it’s because I didn’t want to be around you? Maybe because I didn’t want to see you? Did you ever think of that?’ He shoved his phone into his pocket and paid for the ice cream, he walked out of the mart. He knew that Toshinori would know it was him as soon as he saw him. But he didn’t want to be outside, maybe if he hurried he could get into his apartment before he the blonde hero found him. Bling ‘Want to explain why?’ ‘Did someone say something to you that made you upset, was it Bakugou, was it what happened as USJ?’ Izuku looked at his phone carefully. He felt the irritation bubble in the pit of his stomach. Why didn't the man get the hint. 'You're annoying...' He shook his head, he was done talking to the blonde. Rounding the corner he saw that Toshinori was outside his car now. He was leaning against the car door. Keeping his head forward he headed towards the steps, he could feel the blonde’s eyes on him. He then heard the ding come from his phone. He froze on the first step a hand on his shoulder. He knew he had been caught, the man had seen him leave. He stiffened when the man tightened on his shoulder. He could feel the rage on All Might. The blonde wasn't happy with him. “We need to talk Izuku.” Toshinori wasn’t happy. ***** Anger and Ice Cream ***** Chapter Summary Being angry and having ice cream is never a good mix. Chapter Notes Third chapter in a row, what a deal! “Well I don’t want to talk!” Izuku shrugged off the hand. “Leave me alone.” He told the blonde. “I don’t want to talk to you, nor do I want to see you!” Izuku snapped in irritation. He moved to walk up the steps. “If I wanted to talk to you, I would have answered the damn phone call the first time!” Yagi walked after the boy. “Don't you fucking walk away from me!” He snapped at the kid. He had been worried about the boy since the incident. He hasn't been able to see him since he told the boy to leave the building. He had been extremely scared that the boy had gotten hurt.  “I’ll walk away if I damn well please!” The boy growled. Fishing out his keys as he headed to the door. “You’re not the boss of me All Might!” He snapped. He could feel the tension rising pretty quickly. “Why don’t you understand," He growled out. "I don’t want you around me!” His voice shook with anger and rage. Green eyes dark with anger as he stared at the blonde man. "So fuck off!"    “Well too damn bad, we are to talk about what is going on and you can suck it up!” Yagi snapped bag just as pissed. 'This little brat!' He growled in anger. The disrespect the boy was giving him. 'I don't deserve this!'    “No we don’t, just drop it!” He snapped and turned around, he threw the bag at All Might, watching as the frozen food break over the man’s head covering him in green ice cream. “Fuck off!” He opened the door to the apartment and went to slam the door on the blonde who was even more pissed off. Toshinori grabbed the door before he slammed on him and pushed his way inside, he was livid know. He was covered in ice cream, the boy had assaulted him. He pushed his way inside and slammed the door behind him. “Stop acting like a brat!” He growled at the kid. He was sticky and pissed. “What the actual fuck is wrong with you!?” He had been shocked that the kid had actually thrown the ice cream at him in such a manner. He didn’t think that the boy would ever do something like this. It was out of character for Izuku. "What made you think that this was okay to do?" He all but screamed at the teenager.  Izuku stood at the door, his head down. “Screw off!” He screamed at the blonde hero. “Just get away from me!” He snapped at him. He was shaking now. “I don’t want anyone around me!” He glared at the blonde hero. “Just get out of my house!” He yelled, he bit his tongue. “Why won’t you listen!”    “Because you’re not saying anything!” Snapped the hero. “All you are doing is screaming, throwing shit at me, and ignoring me like some bratty fucking kid!” “Maybe because I am a bratty fucking kid," Izuku resorted. "I’m not some prefect little boy who does everything you say surprising I know!” He told the blonde. He kicked off his shoes and yanked off his jacket. The boy was trembling, he bit his lip and glared at the floor as he tossed his jacket onto the floor. He would pick it up later. He stomped his way into his room. He knew that the blonde wasn’t going to leave him alone. "Get the fuck out of my house, I'll call the damn cops!" He threatened the hero. Something clicked within Toshinori, he sighed heavily and reeled in his rage. Walking towards the enraged teen. Yagi followed after the kid, he reached out and pulled him sharply to him and held him firmly to his chest. He held the boy’s head firmly with one hand. “Izuku...I’m sorry.” He said gently. Izuku struggled in the man’s arms. “Shut up, shut up, shut up!” He screamed at the hero, his throat was starting to hurt from all the screaming. “Let me go! I hate you!” “I’m sorry Izuku, I’m sorry I wasn’t there to keep you safe...I’m sorry you had to see that…” He watched as the boy’s struggles slowly calmed down. “I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to protect you like I promised you…” He felt the boy stop moving and he could feel the body’s shaking increase. The boy's wall fall down and the smaller body falls against him. "It's okay now, I'm here..."  “Wahhh…” The boy sobbed into the stained shirt. The boys full weight was on him, the teen couldn't keep all his emotions in his body. "Thats it...good boy..." The man felt like and idiot, of course the boy had been terrified. He had been so up close and personal, seen things no one had to see. The boy was pushing him away because he didn’t know how to deal with it himself. “I’m sorry Izuku...I’m sorry.” He whispered as he hugged the boy carefully. He rubbed the boys back. “I’m here...I’m here…” He murmured sweetly to the kid. “I was so scared…” He hiccuped. “So scared…” He sobbed, the boy had tears and snot on his face. “I know…” The hero whispered. “I know…” He picked up the boy carefully and walked him outside. He was going to call Inko and let her know that Izuku was going to stay with him for a bit. The boy needed some time away from the house. He didn’t need to deal with this alone.  He held the boy to his chest carefully, the boy was holding onto him tightly, his legs around his waist and his arms around his neck. =============================================================================== Once at his condo he set the boy down on the couch an covered him with the blanket. “Stay, I am going to shower.” He told the boy. He didn’t wait for the kid to answer before walking away towards his room. Getting his clothes he went to the bathroom and showered. He was still angry with the teen. But he had to understand that the boy was just trying to deal with what happened and he had pushed the boy to his limits. He hadn’t seen that the boy was suffering until he saw tears in the kids eyes. Stripping out his clothes he tossed them into the basket and turned on the shower. He looked at himself in the mirror and sighed heavily. His hair was a mess, he was sticky all over the place. ‘Jesus Izuku…’ He thought sadly. ‘God, I didn’t want this to happen…’ He looked at the sink. Turning he pulled away and stepped into the shower. Washing himself off he quickly cleaned his hair and scrubbed his body of the sticky ice cream. ‘I’ll buy him some more later.’ Rinsing himself off he turned off the water and grabbed a towel. Drying himself quickly he dressed himself, putting the towel on his shoulders he walked out of the room. “Izuku?” He called out. He walked out into the living room and saw he wasn’t on the couch where he left him. He looked at the door, it was still locked. His red shoes were by the door. ‘My room?’ He thought, walking towards the back room he saw Izuku in his bed holding one of his pillow. He wasn’t crying this time, he was hiding himself in the pillow as much as he could. “Izuku…” He whispered softly. The boy was trying to shove him out. Walking towards the bed he sat down on the edge and grabbed his phone, he sent Inko a couple of long text explaining the situation and that he would call her tonight in and tell her in full detail. Setting his phone off to the side he pushed himself onto the bed and lied down beside the boy. “Come here Little One.” He whispered to Izuku who shifted and curled up into his side. The pillow was still between them, the teen was ashamed with his actions from earlier and wasn't able to face him. Yagi felt a bit exasperated by this, the teen should know better.   Pulling the pillow away from the boy’s grasp, he picked up the teen and set him on top of his chest. He had the boy rest his head on his shoulder, near his neck. Grabbing the blanket he covered the boy. His arms wrapped around him holding him firmly. “Wanna talk about what happened?” He asked gently. The boy was shaking still, the slight tremble. “You don’t have to push me away...I’m here Izuku...I’m here to keep you safe.” “I know…” Izuku choked out, the boy’s voice was shaky. “I don’t want to talk about it right now…” He whimpered out. “I can’t…” “Okay.” Yagi murmured as he nuzzled the top of the boy’s head. He held the boy firmly in his arms.He pressed kissing on the boy’s head. “I’m here...I’m here...it’s okay.” He whispered to the teen. “You’re safe, I’m safe...everyone is safe.” He comforted the boy. “No one can get you.” He pressed his lips to the boy’s forehead. After a while, the boy had stilled. The shaking had stopped, Yagi felt the boy open up their link. He sighed through his nose when the emotions hit him. The boy was scared, he was lonely, the kid was a little angry, but it seemed to be aimed towards oneself. “Izuku…” He murmured, he did his best to soothe him. The boy was letting him in, letting him understand. “He knew my name…” Izuku told him. “Said I looked like this Sensei person…” He whispered, the fear spiked. “He knew me, called me Midoriya-sama.” Yagi held the boy tighter in his arms and stroked his hair. “I am sure he was only getting to you, he might have heard someone say your name.” He informed him lightly. “But they knew we were going to be there, what time and everything.” He whispered. “The only thing they didn’t know was our quirks.” Izuku told him as he moved a little closer to the hero. He wanted to hide himself in his arms. “Toshi...they knew my dad…” He whispered. “My dad has been gone for some time...and he took my mom’s last name…” He whispered. “How else would they know…” “I am sure that it's not the case, your dad works in Bangkok right?” Told the boy. “And you talk to him every Friday, he is a salesman remember?” He rubbed the boy’s back. “I am sure the villain was just trying to get to you, Villains do that, and who knows many he has another quirk that is able to identify another?” He said to Izuku carefully. He could feel the boy untense. “You are right...Dad is not much of a fighter, he likes numbers and reading romance novels and talking for hours about the American Red Sox.” Izuku whispered, his tone was amused but still shaky. “I’m sorry…” “No don’t apologize, please don’t.” Yagi whispered to him gently. “You have nothing to apologize for, not the calls, the texts, the ice cream...nothing.” He told the teen firmly. “Do you understand.” “Yes…” The teen mumbled, the boy was ashamed with himself. “Good boy…” =============================================================================== Toshinori laid in the bed, his hands running up and down Izuku’s back soothing the boy as much as he could. The teen refused to sleep at the moment. “Izuku, I need to get up and get you some clothes.” He informed him lightly. “Do you wanna stay here?” The teen nodded his head. “Yeah…” He mumbled as he pulled off him and curled under the covers. “The house keys are on the coffee table…” He mumbled lowly. “Mom will be at work until midnight…” “Alright.” Yagi turned over and looked at the boy. He pushed the teens bangs from his face and leaned down and kissed him on the forehead. “I love you Izuku.” He told him softly. “Get some rest, I’ll be back in a little bit okay?” He smiled faintly. He pulled from the teen and covered him up with the blanket. He walked out of the room and grabbed the keys that were on the coffee table. Walking to the door he pulled on his shoes and headed out. Walking to the elevator he dropped to the ground floor and headed to the car. Getting in, he drove to the boy’s apartment. Once at the complex he got out of the car, he didn’t see Inko’s small car anywhere. Jogging up the steps he headed to the apartment and unlocked it. Walking inside he closed the door behind him. Getting the boy some clothes for a couple of days, he shoved them in a black bag, he grabbed his bunny stuffed animal and one of his mom’s sweaters. He grabbed the kids toothbrush and some slippers. He grabbed the boy's pack and his laptop and chargers. ‘The kid won’t be going to school for a bit, none of them will, today was too much for them.  =============================================================================== Getting back to his apartment he set the things down in the room. “Izuku?” He looked at the lump on his bed and smiled when the teen shifted. “You’re mom called on the way here, I let her know what's going on, she wants you to call her when you are feeling better.” He said to Izuku. “I got you some clothes and your tooth brush, you’ll be staying here with me for a couple of days.” He walked crawled the bed. Crawling towards the teen he lied on top of him and wrapped his arms around him. “School has been canceled for a couple of days after what happened.”   “Okay…” Izuku peeked out from under the thick blanket and looked into All Might’s blue eyes. “You okay?” “Oh I’m fine, just tired...more worried about you.” Toshi confessed as he stroked the boy’s cheek. “I know you aren’t fine, no one really is and that's okay.” He told Izuku. “You don’t have to be strong and pretend.” He scooted closer to the boy. “I know...I’m not okay...I’m still scared...I wasn’t...I’m not ready for that.” Izuku whispered. “I wasn’t…” “No one was…” The man said as he cupped Izuku’s cheek. He his thumb brushed over the freckles that decorated the teens cheek. “Toshi…” Izuku whispered gently as he looked at the man. “Hm?” He looked up from the freckles, the boy was blushing a little bit. He could feel that the kid was a little desperate for some comfort. “What is it Little One?” “Will...will you kiss me?” Toshi blinked and looked at Izuku. “I have been.” The boy was silly. “I kiss you all the time, on your head, cheek.” Izuku shook his head a little bit, the blush on his face growing a bit. “No…” The blonde blinked once again, realization showed on his face. “Oh…” He mused. His lips perked up. “Alright…” He smiled at the teen. Leaning down he pulling the boy up a little by the back of his head. Tilting his head he kissed the boy gently on the lips. The kiss was soft and gently, there was love and comfort to be found there. Pulling away from the innocent kiss he carefully settled the boy back on the bed. “Silly boy…” He smiled at the teen. The teen was red in the face. But he looked so happy and blissful. “Thank you...I feel better.” The boy mumbled as he looked at Toshi. “I’m glad.” He murmured. He pulled back a little bit and rested his head on top of the teen’s chest. “Sleep now...we are both pretty tired.” Toshi felt his own face heating up. His lips tingles from the innocent kiss. Licking his lips a little bit, he buried his face in the blanket and the boy’s chest. ‘I’m so gross ugh…’ ***** Feeling his Anger and Feeling Protected ***** Chapter Notes Dedicated to memoriesofrain for giving me the idea for the chapter. You can thank her as well! I hope you all enjoy the chapter, I know I enjoyed writing it! Izuku felt rage boil over, washing over him in waves. He felt as though he was under a waterfall the way it just poured over him. Dousing him, he felt ill. The rage was intense. Far to intense for him, he gasped, trying to force himself to breathe. His green eyes locked with that of blue. ‘Yagi…’ He was scared. His hero was terrifying. Every nerve in his body felt as though it was lit up, he shivered and tried to make himself small. There was nothing else he wanted to do was curl up into himself and try and squeeze the anger from him. He panted heavily, feeling flushed from the anger that spilled into him. He felt as though magma poured into his stomach. His head was pressed against the ground, the small bits of rock bit into his forehead. Turning his head he knew All Might was looking at him, he felt a brief sensation of relief, before rage poured back in. Gasping, he held his stomach and grit his teeth. ‘How can someone feel so much rage...why is he so angry?’ He whimpered, biting down on his lip. He heard the crunching of gravel and dirt, lifting his head he cracked open his eyes to see All Might stand in front of him. Shielding him from the Nomu. ‘All Might…’ He had to close himself off, but his mind felt all foggy. ‘Please don’t look like that...please.’ He could feel the rage radiate off him. Tilting his head he saw that All Might wasn’t smiling, though his teeth were bared in a sign of aggression. There was a sense of protectiveness there, carefully and slowly the rage was repressed, just simmering under his skin. He could feel a slight twinge of fear, but there was a sense of warmth and protectiveness that made him want to rest and cry. ‘All Might...Toshinori…’ Slowly he stood up, his legs and arms trembled a bit. “All Might, I tried using Smash on the Nomu, but it didn’t work…” He told the man. The blonde hero didn’t turn to him, but he knew he heard. ‘Toshinori…’ He wanted nothing more then to run to him and bury himself in the tallers back and soak him in. He was so scared, he felt tears burn at his eyes. Quickly he rubbed his face, now wasn’t the time. The fear soaked him completely, the rage was gone from his body. His knees shook and he felt his mouth go dry. His green eyes stared at All Might.The large hero, turned his head carefully towards him. Looking him over, a small smile graced the man’s face. “Get out of here now, the other teachers will be here soon.” His voice was firm, but his eyes were gentle and warm. Izuku whimpered and nodded his head, he turned on his heel. He ran towards Aizawa and picked up the other, taking him towards the entrance. He was relieved to see Aizawa’s soulmate there. Jogging up the stairs he hands him over to Present Mic. He could see that the blonde was scared for his lover. ‘Aizawa is in bad shape, I hope with Recovery Girl’s power he will be able to make a nice recovery.’ The images of the battle that Aizawa fought scared him. His stomach felt hard. The way the Nomu just tore through everything was sickening. He turned his head when he felt All Might block him out, his head snapped towards the battle, a ring of dirt circled the area. Then in a second, he watched as the black beast tear through the sky and was sent flying through the top of the dome. Ringlets from the air surfaced. ‘All…Toshinori…’ ===============================================================================  Uraraka starred at Izuku, she saw the teen’s face pale. Reaching out she took the teens hand, she could know clearly see the damage the boy was under, his hand was a mangled broken mess, he was covered in cuts, scrapes, his lip was busted, blood dripping from the side of his head. ‘What happened out there?’ He asked herself. Carefully she coaxed the teen to look at her. “Deku...look at me…” She said to him softly. “Izu-” “They knew who I was…” He looked at her, his expression was that of fear. “They knew my real name…” Uraraka felt her gut tighten. She bit her bottom lip and tugged him out of the room. ‘He is shaking badly.’ She walked him towards the ambulance that was waiting outside with the police. “Izuku it’s okay, no one can get us now.” She told him soothingly. “All Might is here, Aizawa is alive, Snipe, Nedzu, and the others are here.” She told him. Though his trembling was getting worse by the second. Tugging him forward she released his hand and wrapped her arms around his chest hugging him. Izuku’s arms dangled down at his. His shaking was horrible, she squeezed him. Prompting him to hug her back, she felt his hands on her back. His hands fisting her uniform, his face buried into her neck. She felt tears, he was weeping silently. Rubbing is back she felt him relax against her. “Thats it, thats it Izuku…” She murmured. =============================================================================== Tenya ran towards them, he saw Izuku holding onto Uraraka. Stopping by the ambulance he walked towards them. “Hey…” He called out softly. He saw Uraraka’s warm brown eyes. There was relief in them as her gaze locked with his. He could feel a bubble of warmth spread through his chest. Moving closer, he wrapped his arms around them carefully, taking them both in his arms. “I’m sorry I am late…” He whispered to them. He could feel Izuku tremble. ‘What happened?’ He looked at Uraraka to ask her, but she shook her head. She would tell Tenya later, right now they needed to comfort their friend.  Nodding his head he pulled away. “Izuku, let’s get you to the ambulance so they can look you over.” He watched as the dark haired boy slowly detach himself from his friend. He looked so tired and pale. Wrapping an arm around Izuku’s shoulder he walked him over towards the white vehicial. He handed them over to the paramedics who had him sit on the side. “He's in shock, we are going to take him to the hospital, he is in rough shape.” One of the Paramedics said as she wrapped a thick blanket around the teen. Tenya gazed at Izuku with worry, it was a lot clearer know. “What happened…” He mumbled to himself. Walking away he went to the rest of the class and had them gather at the side lines so that no one got separated or hurt. He had seen the Nomu from the corner of his eye. ‘Shit…’ He cursed mentally. Ushering his classmates to the bus he had them get on. He was thankful that no one said anything. ‘Some rest will help…’ He thought. ‘Get them home safely.’ He looked at the bus driver who was starting up the bus. He gave them directions to the classmates home. He had taken it upon himself to memorize their addresses just in case of emergencies. =============================================================================== Toshinori looked around, he had seen the ambulance take off towards the hospital. He was glad to see that the lights weren’t on. He looked around and saw the Nomu, the bastard had survived. Walking towards the other pro heroes. “The students were taken home, Iida had taken it upon himself to get them home safely. Izuku is going towards the hospital, he was in a mild shock.” Snipe was on the phone with someone. “Yes Inko, he will be okay...yes…” Snipe held the phone firmly to his ear. “Izuku has a broken hand from what I saw, his lip was busted and he had some bleeding...his friend Uraraka was comforting him.” Snipe turned to look at All Might and nodded his head. “Yes All Might is here, he is going to the hospital to go and check up on the boy.” The man paused listening to her. “Nemuri...yes yes…” He sighed softly. “I’ll talk to you later, I have some things I got to do...yes yes…I love you too Inko.” Hanging up the phone he pocketed. All Might walked by them and headed towards the car, he was going to pick up Izuku. ‘Izuku I’m coming boy.’ He ignored the calls from the other heroes. ‘I’ll talk to Inko myself.’ He drove off quickly. He powered down a bit in his car once he managed to stop at a red light. Signing heavily he rubbed his face. ‘Izuku, my boy…’ He could feel Izuku’s heart pounding in his chest like a speed car. The emotions flooded his body and mind, there was so much. It was just a tangled mess of emotions, it was hard to identify what the kid was feeling. ‘I’m on my way…’ He saw the hospital on top of the hill. ‘So close.’ He knew that Izuku’s house was near the hospital. ‘I’ll drop him off at his house, I am sure that Inko will want to see him.’ He then blinked. ‘Wait, why does Snipe have Inko’s number, and why did he mention his soulmate…’ He shook his head. ‘I’ll think about that later, right now I need to think about Izuku.’ Turning onto the main road he took the high street. Making it towards the hospital faster. =============================================================================== Parking his car, Toshinori ran into the building. He ran to the receptionist. “Izuku Midoriya, I am his soulmate. I should be in his contacts for emergencies.” He informed the Native American women who was startled by his presences. “He is on the second floor.” She told him as she looked into her computer. She was looking through the boy’s file. “Can I have your ID so I can verify you?” The blonde nodded his head, pulling his wallet from his back pocket he pulled out both his informal ID and his hero ID. He watched as she took the cards from his hands and started to type away at her computer. After a few minutes she handed him the cards. “Alright, you can head up to see him, just informed the nurses that you are there for Izuku.” She informed him with a smile. Nodding his head he shoved his cards into his wallet and shoved the black thing into his back pocket. He turned on his heel and sped walked his way to the elevator and up to the second floor. He blinked when he saw Izuku walking past the receptionist. Grabbing the elevator doors he pulled them apart and walked after Izuku who was just outside. He saw him turn his head but then the boy started running. Making his way outside. “IZUKU!” He called after the boy. He grit his teeth and went to his car, getting inside he sped after the teen. ‘Why is he running from me?’ He managed to make it to the complex. Pulling out his phone he got out of the car and looked around. Calling the boy he held it to his ear. ‘Izuku pick up.’ “This is Izuku’s phone, I am not able to answer the phone right now, please leave me your name and number and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.” Ending the call Toshi called the boy again, he still wasn’t picking up. He sent him a few text, but the boy wasn’t responding to him. He could feel a mild panic building up in his own chest. ‘Izuku please don’t push me away.’ He bit down on the inside of his cheek. ‘Please boy pick up.’ He raced to the door and pounded on the door. He was a little flushed from his panic. “Izuku open the door, I know you are in here!” He called out. “Please let me in!” He looked around the door for the spare key. ‘Where is it?’ He lifted up the mat, it wasn’t there. He looked in the plants at the door. ‘No!’ He looked on top of the door frame. ‘It’s not there either.’ He rubbed his face. Lifting his hand he knocked on the door. “Izuku!” He called out again. He stepped back pressed his ear to he door. He concentrated a little bit, he could hear the bath going. Sighing heavily to himself he walked from the door and went to his car. Pulling out his phone he got inside. Pulling up the number he leaned back. “Hello?” “I need some help…” Toshinori said as he looked at the door carefully. “I am worried about Izuku...the boy is shutting me out and I’m not sure how to deal with it, he shut the link on me just a few seconds ago.” “All Might, he is most likely freaked out from what happened...and besides maybe he needs space away from you, you can be suffocating at times. And from what you have told me, the boy isn’t used to positive reinforcement from people, only from his mother.”The person on the phone stated.“Give him a moment to just soak it in and think about it, what he saw was most likely traumatizing and all the emotions he felt...well it’s bound to get to him, the only bad thing he ever had to deal with was abuse from his former childhood friend, nothing like he had to witness at USJ.” All Might perked up when he saw the door open and out stepped Izuku. He was just wearing some pajamas. He was wearing a black and red plaid. He had a light jacket over his shoulders, and his hair was down a bit, most likely damn from his bath. “He just left the apartment…” “He most likely needs some comfort food, he is a teenager...stay wherever you are and don’t confront him just yet, he might also just be going for a walk to clear his head.” Sighing heavily, he watched the boy from the corner of his eye. “Alright, I’ll wait it out...thanks Nedzu…” “It’s my pleasure, relax my friend. I have to go and talk to some parents. I’ll check in with you later to see how things are going and don’t forget to refill your medicine.” “I won’t and thanks…” All Might hung up and let the phone slid from his hand and into his lap. He dropped his head on his steering wheel. He had a picture of Izuku as his home page, the boy was looking up at him. He was holding an ice cream cone in his hand. The boy looked utterly adorable. “Izuku…” He mumbled to himself as he gazed at the happy boy on his phone. After a few minutes of staring blankly at the phone he jumped slightly when he got a message from the boy. =============================================================================== -One day later, At Nine in the morning- Toshinori opened his eyes. Rolling over he lied on his face. He felt his skin on his face all sore. ‘What happened?’ Slowly he sat up and brushed his bangs from his face. Looking over at the teen that was on the bed next to him. Izuku was on his back, his felt hand was above his head. His right was on his chest. “Guess we passed out while cuddling.” He whispered. He looked at the boy carefully, he could see some minor bruising on his temple, his hand was a little bruised as well. His nails were cut and chipped. Carefully he reached out and grabbed Izuku’s hand. Carefully he lifted the hand off his chest and stroked the knuckles carefully with his thumb. “Izuku…” He said gently. “Wake up.” He watched as the boy’s face scrunch up a little bit before his eyes fluttered open. “Hey.” Izuku turned his head and looked at him. “Morning…” He mumbled as he sat up. His hand still in Toshinori’s. “...” The green haired teen yawned and stretched his body out, pulling his hand away from the blonde. Getting off the bed Toshi, stretched himself out and scratched at his chest. “How are you feeling Izu?” “I’m sleepy...all those emotions from yesterday and what happened just wore me out…” Izuku mumbled as he sat there, he curled up on his side after a minute and pulled the blanket up around his shoulder. “Hm?” Toshi turned his head over his shoulder slightly as he held his arm to the other side, stretching himself out. “Yesterday at USJ, I felt your rage…” Izuku went into detail. He was looking at Toshi. His green eyes aren't as bright though. They were tired and sad. “I felt everything...all that rage...all that anger...I couldn’t breathe…I felt so suffocated.” Toshi dropped his arm and turned. Getting onto his bed he sat there letting the boy have his attention. He stroked the boy’s hair, urging him to continue. The kid was letting him in again, he wasn’t pushing him away. “I was so scared...so tired…” Izuku closed his eyes as Toshi touched his hair, stroking the strains. “The anger was so intense, so terrifying...even though it wasn’t aimed at me…” He nuzzled the larger hand. Wanting to be comforted. “I wanted nothing more then to bury myself in your back when I saw you...” Toshi’s eyebrows knitted together a little bit. His mouth set in a firm line. “You were in shock yesterday...you had seen too much for your age.” Toshi reminded the kid. “You wanted comfort, to feel safe, and all I did was doused you in my anger and ill feelings…” He felt sick now. “You experienced a backlash of my emotions and yours was just the tip.” “I know you were trying to protect me, I felt it…I felt that need to protect from you, to keep me safe.” Izuku held Toshi’s hand in his. “I know you just wanted to protect me and make sure I was okay, I’m sorry I threw my ice cream at you.” Toshi smiled faintly, letting the boy hold his hand he relaxed his shoulders. He was glad that the boy knew that he wanted to protect him. To keep him safe and loved. “It’s alright, I kinda deserved it for suffocating you.” Toshi mused. “I’m not the greatest with people and their emotions...and what they need.” Izuku nodded his head. “Yeah, but you try and that's what counts…” Izuku mumbled and crawled towards him. He crawled into the blondes lap and rested himself against him. His head resting on the others shoulder. “I am glad you came after me though, I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't chased me.” “Me too…” He nuzzled the boy’s head and kissed him gently on the crown of his head. “Today we are just gonna stay here okay, I don’t feel as though you are ready to go anywhere...and class has been canceled for a couple of days because of the attack...and no one else was hurt besides you and Aizawa.” He felt the boy just sag against him. “I’m glad...though is Aizawa gonna be okay?” “He should be fine, Recovery Girl is with him and he is getting the best care.” He informed Izuku carefully. “He will be on bed rest since both of his arms are busted and his eyes face is a little messed up, but Hisashi is taking care off him, so he is in really good hands.” The boy sighed in relief. “Thank goodness…” Holding the boy in his arms Toshi mumbled to him some gentle words. His arms were wrapped firmly around him. “My boy…” He nuzzled the boy’s shoulder and relaxed a bit into the kid. “What do you want to eat for breakfast?” Izuku opened his eyes and thought for a moment. “...how about we go out…” Toshi blinked and looked up at the kid. “You wanna go out to eat?” He was sure that the kid wanted to stay inside and rest. He even told the kid they were staying inside. “Yeah...I am tired, but I don’t want to be cooped up.” He explained gently. “Some fresh air sounds good to me, and well…” “Alright, we can leave here in a bit.” Toshi smiled, though he pulled the boy closer to him. He was going to protect the boy all day, and make sure that the kid knew he was completely and utterly safe. =============================================================================== Toshi looked at the boy who was sitting across from him at the diner. He smiled gently as the boy mumbled to himself reading out the menu. He was looking at it carefully, adding up the calories and what not. ‘He is still sticking to the plan…’ He tilted his head to the side and tucked his bangs behind his ear. “Izuku don’t worry about the plan today, just eat what you think looks and sounds good.” Izuku lifted his head and looked at Toshi. “You sure?” He looked at little nervous. “I haven’t strayed from it since you handed me those papers…” Izuku looked at the menu again. Though his eyes were a a bit more lit up from the idea of being able to eat just about anything. Toshi nodded his head. “I know you haven’t, you most likely went above and beyond with it, cutting out nearly everything sugar related.” He mused. “Besides what Recovery Girl gives you.” Izuku nodded his head. “Pretty much…” He mumbled and put the menu down. “I’m just going to get the Katsudon.” He told him. “It sounds good right now.” “Get that and some Miso soup.” The blonde said to him. “I hear this place makes really good Miso.” Izuku nodded his head and leaned back into the booth. “What are you getting?” Izuku asked him as he reached for his cup of tea and carefully held it in his hands. “Not sure yet, they all look pretty good.” The youthful hero informed. “I might just get the Dekubowl.” He mused as he looked at the soups. “Dekubowl?” “Yeah, it’s like a meet udon.” He informed. “A bit on the sweet side with some peppers.” He informed as he looked at the meal. “It looks and sounds great.” Toshi put the menu down and leaned forward. “What else did you want to do today?” Izuku blinked and looked away from Toshi. “Most likely see my mom and let her know I’m okay, I bet she is really worried even  if you called her.” He informed as he rubbed the back of his neck. “And I would like to see her as well…” Toshi nodded his head and smiled. “I wouldn’t mind, after we eat we can head over and see your mom.” Toshi understood, the boy wanted some comfort from his mom and to be around her. He could understand, because he did the same thing from time to time. Mom’s tend to make everything better. “We three can all go to dinner together.” He told Izuku. Izuku looked at him, his eyes and face just lit up and he bobbed his head. “That would be amazing!” He grinned happily. “I’d really like that, and I am sure mom would as well!” “Good!” He looked over and saw their waiter walking towards them. Quickly he ordered there food. Excited for the plans for tonight. ***** Love can be dangerous ***** Chapter Summary I don't even know Chapter Notes I dedicate this to my discord mama And yes this has smut in it... Izuku contacted his mom right after they left the restaurant, his mother had been very happy to hear from him. She had scolded him lightly for making her worry, though she was excited that they made plans to see him today as well. She had her soulmates over and wanted him to meet them finally. Though she had said that he knew one of them from class. Which caused him to be a little confused and worried. The car ride was comfortably silent. The whole time, Izuku found himself relaxing and dozing off a little bit. He felt safe with Toshinori. The man had this protective feeling towards him. He felt so warm and comfortable. It felt like he was being wrapped up in a blanket and held firmly. It was a warm comforting feeling. He rested his head on his seat belt as Toshinori drove carefully. The radio was on, but it was turned down low. It was more like white noise than anything else. Izuku wanted this moment to last forever. He wanted to bask in this feeling that his hero was giving him. Toshinori had parked the car on the side of the road. “Izuku.” Opening his eyes, he turned his head and looked at him. “Yes?” “The next time you feel scared and you need me, like you did at USJ, don’t hesitate to reach out for comfort,” the man informed. He was starting at the boy, his expression firm and his tone serious. “Don’t ever hesitate with me, I won’t push you away,” he told him. “I don’t know the struggles you went through growing up, but I know they caused you much grief on a day to day basis… and I also know that you don’t know how to love yourself or even be kind to yourself,” he told the teen. Izuku stared at Toshinori, his eyes wide with surprise. On one hand he way happy, but on the other he was confused. “What brought this up?” Toshinori looked at him, there was a flicker of emotion that passed through his eyes. “You told me that you wanted to run to me and bury yourself in my back… the next time you feel like that don’t hesitate,” he told him. “Don’t think you aren’t allowed or good enough for me,” he told Izuku as he reached out and stroked the boy’s head. “How you feel and think matter to me… so just when you can’t love yourself, I’ll love you,” Toshinori said gently. “I’ll smile for the both of us when you aren’t able to… just lean on me,” he told the teen. Izuku nodded his head and bit his lip. “O-okay,” he choked out, “I’ll try…” “That’s all I ask. I won’t force you or push you to do things you don’t want to do,” he told Izuku. “I’ll always give you the choice.” Izuku nodded his head, he felt a little lighter and better. “Thank you, Thoshi.” “Anytime Little One.” =============================================================================== Toshinori carried the boy up the steps to the apartment, the boy was giggling in his ear. “Toshi you don’t have to carry me!” “I want to!” He grinned. “Beside you’re so tiny, I have to protect the small!” He told the teen as he fished out the boy’s house keys from his pocket. Stopping at the door he managed to unlock it with Izuku clinging to his back like a monkey. Stepping into the apartment. “I’ve secured the princess!” He called out. “That’s Mr. Princess to you!” Izuku chimed in as he slid from the blondes back. He kicked off his shoes, tucking them into the shoe rack by the door. Toshinori laughed and kicked off his own shoes and pulled on the bunny slippers that were near him. “Welcome home boys, I’m in the kitchen!” Inko called out to them. She was making tea, “Do you boys want some tea?” She asked from the kitchen as she filled the pot with water. “That would be lovely.” Toshinori grinned as he stepped fully into the house. “Well if it isn’t tall, sweet, and handsome.” A new voice purred out. The blonde hero turned and looked at the owner. “Nemuri.” He greeted. “I should have connected the dots sooner, where is Sam?” “He is on his way, he had to go to the store Inko was out of milk.” The dark- haired woman informed as she leaned back into the chair. “Oh, hey Izuku-chan~” She grinned at him. “It’s a pleasure to finally meet you on a more personal level~” She cooed at him. Izuku blinked, trying to process it all. “Oh…” He looked at his mom. “Congratulations Mom.” He smiled warmly at her mom. He looked at the hero, he was uncertain. “Um...I’m not sure how to feel about this though...but welcome to the family.” He told midnight as he turned away. He blushed a little at the warm smile that Midnight sent his way. He then blinked. “Wait who is Sam?” “Oh, you know your mom’s other soulmate~” Midnight said. “He is Snipe.” She told him, she saw the boy’s face lit up in recognition at the name. =============================================================================== Izuku was exhausted by the end of the day, they mostly stayed at the house. Instead of going out, they had decided to have a family game night. It was fantastic, they played board games, the wii, and some other games. Izuku hadn’t seen his mom this happy in years. He wished it would last forever for her. Izuku leaned against Toshi, they had managed to get to the condo safely. “That was fun.” He smiled happily as he curled up. “I am glad Mom is happy she deserves it.” He said softly. “She looked really beautiful today too…” Toshinori caught the tone, he nodded his head and leaned back into the couch, wrapping his arm around the boy and pulled him into his arms. “I am happy for your mom, she is in safe hands, Sam will protect her, and Midnight will help her get comfortable in her own body again.” Izuku nodded his head and leaned against Toshinori. “Mmm.” Izuku nuzzled his soulmate and purred happily as his soulmates warmth seeped into him. “So warm.” He whispered happily as he rested his head on the broad shoulder. “Comfy too...” The blonde used his hero laugh a little bit. “Good…” He looked down at Izuku, there was so much love in Toshinori’s eyes. He stroked the boy’s hair, running his hand through the curls. “I love you Izuku, I really do.” “I know…” He said as he gazed up at the blonde. “I feel it…” He smiled happily and kissed the others jaw. “I love you too…” Closing his eyes, the blonde relaxed. “I’m glad...really glad…” He smiled happily. “Makes my life so much easier.” “Does it really?” Toshinori opened his eyes, he watched Izuku sit up in his lap, facing him. “Does it really though?” Toshinori gazed into green eye, gently he cupped the boy’s cheek. “Yes…” He promised him. “For years, I’ve been in pain, so empty...you fill this hole inside me…” Toshinori explained to Izuku carefully. “I lost someone once, someone I loved dearly, someone I can never get back, and it left me in ruins... I haven’t really recovered from it, and I’m not sure how to.” His hand dropped a bit. His thumb pressed to the boy’s bottom lip, he gazed at the lips for a moment before looking back into green eyes. “I’ve done a lot of bad...a lot of wrong.” “Toshi…” “I’ve hurt a lot of people Izuku…” He dropped his hand and looked at the boy. “But I’m learning, learning to love again, to heal, to get over it...you’ve been showing me so much…” He stared at Izuku carefully. “You’re so gentle and loving, so pure…” He mused, a weak smile on his lips. “You’ve shown me so much, showed me how to be human again…” He lifted his hand, cupping the back of the boy’s head. “Though sometimes I am disgusting with the feelings I have towards you…” He pulled the boy closer, her could feel the smaller hands grip his shirt. “I’ve become accustomed to it...I love how…” His lips barely touching Izuku’s. “I love how wrong it feels…” He pressed his lips to Izuku’s, closing his eyes. The kiss was strong, passionate, sloppy. His hands slipped from the boy’s hair, carefully changing their position, he pressed the boy into the couch. He pulled from the kiss and he looked down at Izuku’s flushed face. “I love how you make me feel, I love it, I love how I kiss you, I love how you look at me.” He stroked the boy’s cheek with his hand. “I also hate it...but I want you to only look at me, only me.” He growled out. Izuku stared at Toshinori with a flushed face, the way the man was talking to him. Made him feel warm, his boy ached and tingled with a hunger that he has never known of. He could feel a dark desire lick at his body. He could feel Toshinori’s desire, the lust, the anger. He swallowed hard as he looked at the man. Toshinori’s eyes were dark as he gazed at him. There was this hunger that caused the coil in his stomach to tighten. Toshinori glared a bit at the boy, he leaned down and pressed his lips to his. Biting at the bottom lip. He moved his hands, wanting to touched the boy everywhere. Biting the boy’s lip, he tugged on it with his teeth. Releasing it, he moved to Izuku’s neck, sucking and biting at the tender flesh. Toshinori felt an animalistic like hunger, he pulled back and licked his lips. He stared down at the boy. Feeling so unsatisfied with how the boy was looking, he growled lowly in his throat. He could feel the spike of arousal course through them. Reaching for the boy’s shirt, he ripped it in half. His eyes glazed over the naked flesh, he caught sight of the soulmark. Leaning down, he pressed his tongue against the flesh. He slowly licked up, he could feel the burn on his own chest. “Toshi~” Izuku choked out, the teen’s tone was laced with need and lust. Smirking he pulled back from the boy. “Get up.” He commands the boy. “Now.” He watched the teen slowly sit up, he was clearly dazed. His green eyes were dark with yearning, the teen wanted him badly. “Toshi…” “Bedroom, now.” He growled out. Izuku blinked and nodded his head, he left the ripped shirt on the couch as he walked towards the bedroom. Toshinori licked his lips, he could taste the teen’s flesh. “Sweet…” He purred. He stood up from the couch. ‘I’m going to ruin him, in the best way.’ He thought darkly. He stalked after his prey, the hunger lingered under his skin. He opened the door to his bedroom and saw Izuku sitting on the bed, his back facing the door. Staring at the curve of the boy’s back, he growled. ‘I’ll make him scream…’ Izuku turned around in the bed and stared at Toshinori, he licked his own lips as he moved to pressed himself against the headboard. There was a tinged of fear in the air, it was exciting for Toshinori. ‘Be afraid of me boy~’ He purred as he moved towards the bed. He dropped to his knees as he crawled towards the boy. Izuku watched him carefully, he felt as though he was being hunted down, the way Toshinori was looking at him. The man was hungry, it was so animalistic...so raw. The way the man stalked towards him, crawling, set a sense of fear through his body. He could see that it turned on his soulmate even more. “T-toshi…” He squeaked out. The way he was crawling towards him reminded him of a panther, the way it stalked its prey. “Shh…” Toshi whispered. The hero grabbed Izuku by his neck and pinned him to the spot, “Don’t worry, I’ll make you feel very good…” He whispered hotly. He released the boy’s neck. “Never take your eyes off me Izuku, only watch me…” Toshinori growled out once again. He wanted the teen to only look at him, think about him. Pulling the teen down some he pressed his body against Izuku’s, biting down on his chest. Marking him, bruising him. He moved upward, going up back towards his neck. “I’m going to make you scream…” He promised the teen. “And you’ll only think of me…” His blue eyes flickered up at Izuku’s wide eyed expression. He grinned darkly. “Don’t worry you’ll love it~” He whispered against his skin. Izuku gulped and laid there, he moved his hands under Toshinori’s shirt, scratching at the man’s back. He could feel the pressure building between them. He whimpered, tugging at the shirt he wanted off, he wanted to feel Toshinori. “I wanted to touch you...feel you…” He told the blonde. He whimpered when the other bit down on his neck. “Please…” Toshinori pulled away and licked his lips once again. He sat up a bit more, pulling off his shirt over his head he tossed it to the side before leaning back down. He growled in pleasure as he felt the teen’s nails dug into his back. “Fuck!” He hissed, he nipped at the teen’s jaw. Izuku purred and watched Toshinori, he wanted the man all over him. “More, more please Toshinori...break me.” He pressed his hips against the elder’s stomach. “Please~” Toshinori looked at the boy, thinking about it. Tilting his head to the side slightly. He felt a sick grin slip slowly onto his lips. “With pleasure~” Izuku stared at Toshinori’s mouth, he panted a bit. “Bite me, mark me...make me yours...I want your mouth all over me.” He told Toshinori. “I want you…” The teen’s breathing picked up. Feeding off the teen’s lust he eagerly agreed to his wishes. He felt so sick, he felt so good. He wanted nothing more than to ruin Izuku, make him cry for him, make him break. “I’m going to ruin you.” Toshinori pulled from the other slowly, dragging his nails down the pale flesh. He moved off the bed and went to the night stand, he pulled out some things. He would have mercy on the teen this time. He held the items in his hands and walked back towards the bed. “Strip.” He told him. “Get on the floor.” Izuku nodded his head and he crawled off the bed. Pulling off his pants and boxers he tossed them to the side and kneeled on the floor and watched Toshi carefully. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he unzipped his pants and pulled out his cock. He grabbed the lube and squirted it onto his hands and slowly stroked himself. He watched the boy’s hungry gaze. “You like watching me play with myself, don’t you?” Izuku watched him, the man was thick and huge. Licking his lips, he nodded his head. “Yes…” “Come to daddy, pet.” He stopped his hand, he watched as Izuku crawled towards him. Izuku’s eyes were glued to his cock, the teen was hungry for a mouth full. Izuku settled between Toshinori’s legs. “Can I touch you Daddy?” He asked him, looking up at Toshinori. “Please?” “Yes, you may my pet.” Toshinori watched as Izuku took right to the role. “Good boy~” He praised as Izuku reached out and slowly stroked him, his hot mouth quickly went to his manhood. Sucking and licking at it, the boy devoured him. “Calm down pet, make it last Daddy has a treat for you.” He purred. He pulled another item from the bed. While Izuku licked at his lollipop, he kept his eyes locked with Toshinori’s face. He blinked when he saw the collar in the man’s hands. He pulled back a little bit. “Daddy, what's that?” “Well, it’s a gift my pet~” He cooed at him gently. “And I want you to wear it~” He leaned forward and moved to Izuku’s neck and carefully put it on. “There…” He moved his finger under it, making sure it wasn’t too tight. “Perfect for my kitten~” He leaned back. Izuku looked down and saw the small silver heart. “Kitten?” He mused, he felt his face heat up. “Thank you, daddy…” He whispered happily. He moved back towards his lollipop and licked it from the base upward. He was so happy right now. “Good boy Kitten~” Toshinori purred out as he stroked Izuku’s hair. “You suck Daddy’s cock really good~” Gritting his teeth, he panted heavily, he was coming soon. “Kitten, stop.” He told him. He stroked the boy’s hair. “I want this to last.” He told the teen. “I don’t want to come too soon you know~” “But Daddy, I’m hungry.” Izuku whined, he had tasted the precum while he was sucking, and it tasted so good. “I want more…” He eyed the cock. He was so hard and needy, and his Daddy tasted so so so good. Licking his lips, he panted. “You’ll get the chance soon enough, just not right now my pet.” Toshinori told him. “Get on the bed on your hands and knees,” he said to him. “Daddy is going to make you feel extra good.” The teen nodded his head and crawled onto the bed, he relaxed his body. He felt a little exposed like this, he rested his head on the pillow. Holding onto pillow, he glanced back. He could feel his Daddy’s hands on his back and sliding down to his hips. He gasped out sharply when he felt something hot and wet against his entrance. “Daddy!” He whimpered. Toshinori closed his eyes as he licked at the tight ring. He pulled back and grabbed the lube. He smirked to himself as he lubed his fingers up, and carefully pressed his finger against the hole. “Don’t worry my pet~” He slowly pressed his finger inside. Stretching the muscle little by little. Izuku panted and pushed against the finger, he loved the burning sensation that came along with it. “Daddy~” He cried out. “More, please don’t tease me too much~” “I’m preparing you Kitten, I want to break you, not destroy you.” He pressed another finger in. “You’re just a little slut for pain aren’t you kitten~” He scissored the boy carefully. “You’re so tight and hot, baby boy…” He hummed in delight. Pulling his hand away, he watched Izuku squirm. “What a needy kitten you are~” He grinned darkly. “Be patient, Daddy will fill you up~” He said darkly as he pulled on the condom. He used the lube, making sure he didn’t rip the boy. Carefully he scooted carefully to the boy, he pressed himself against the ring. Pushing in, he sighed heavily as he leaned forward. Gripping the teen’s hips. “So tight!” He grit his teeth. He leaned over the boy, biting down on his shoulder. Izuku mewled as he felt his Toshinori fill him. “Oh Toshi…” He panted heavily. “So good.” He wiggled himself against him. There was that sting he loved it. “Move, don’t stop!” He begged, he wanted Toshinori right now. Toshinori released Izuku’s shoulder. He nipped at the boy’s neck and licked up towards his ear. Biting down on his ear. “I’m in charge pet.” He slapped the boy’s ass sharply. “Remember that.” He growled, satisfied when Izuku whimpered out an apology. Pulling away from the boy he moved his hips back, giving the boy a shallow thrust. “So hot.” He grunted as he pulled back and slammed back in, he slowly picked up the pace. “Ah!” Izuku cried out. “Daddy, I want to touch you~” He loved this, the feeling of being stretched, the feeling of being filled. Toshinori pulled out of his pet and pushed Izuku onto his back, gripping his hair he used his other hand to hold Izuku’s hips and thrusted back inside him. The thrust was harsh and quick. “Fucking needy brat.” Toshinori bit out. He leaned down, biting at the teens neck. He could feel Izuku’s hands on his back, his nails digging into his flesh. The burns were intoxicating. “Daddy~” “Pet.” He muttered, he blew on the bite mark. He knew it would bruise. He gripped the boy’s hair tighter, forcing the teens head to the side, baring his neck to him. Licking at the pulsing vein he bit down. He heard the teen gasp out in pain. Toshinori groaned as Izuku drew some blood, he could feel his back become slick. Slamming into the teen he picked up the pace. He pulled back from the boy’s neck and went to his lips. “Daddy, I’m coming~” Izuku pulled his head away from Toshinori, gasping for breath. The boy was coming undone so quickly, and Toshinori loved it. He loved how the boy was shaking under him. “I know baby, so am I.” He held the boy’s hips, slamming into him, for all that it was worth. He could feel the teen’s walls tighten, arching against him, he came all over his stomach. Toshinori came just after him, panting heavily he stilled. He laid on top of Izuku and closed his eyes. “Good boy…” He mumbled. He pushed off Izuku and slipped out of him. Carefully he pulled the condom off. He looked down at his Soulmate with so much love. “Let's get you cleaned up Izu.” He mumbled affectionately. “You did amazing.” He picked up the teen in his arms and carefully took him to the bathroom. Izuku nuzzled Toshinori’s neck as he wrapped his arms around his shoulders. “I love you…” “I love you too Izuku.” Toshinori set the boy on the toilet as he drew them a bath. Once he plugged it, he looked over at Izuku. “I was a little too harsh on you…I’m sorry.” He said gently as he reached over and pulled off the collar and set it on the sink. “After our bath, I’ll take care of you.” Toshinori, smiled faintly. Izuku nodded his head. “That sounds nice, but you should look at your back, it looks like it went through a shredder.” He looked at his nails, they were caked with blood. “I can feel it.” He said to him lightly as he turned his back and turned his neck. “Shit.” He blinked. “You really didn’t go easy on me Izu.” He was a little impressed by this. “Damn.” He smiled faintly and turned around. “We did a number on one another.” Izuku was covered in bite marks, his neck was the worst of it. He had scratch marks on his sides, his soulmark was a little bruised from the hickey that he was given. Walking towards the bath he turned off the water once it was filled to his liking, grabbing Izuku he lifted him up. Stepped into the tub, he carefully sat down with Izuku in between his legs. Izuku leaned back, he felt a bit better when the hot water lapped at his skin. He closed his eyes. “This is nice...thank you.” “It’s the least I could do after what I did.” Toshinori mumbled as he grabbed the sponge and carefully applied some soap to it. Carefully he cleaned the teen up, making sure to be gentle and loving. He kissed the boy’s shoulder and head as he cleaned Izuku’s body. “So perfect, sweet…” He mumbled against the boy’s shoulder. He carefully cleaned the boy’s fingers, getting the blood off them. “Better?” He murmured. “Hmmm.” Izuku purred and relaxed. He felt so much better. He carefully pulled away from him and took the sponge from Toshinori’s hand. “Turn around, let me clean your back.” Izuku said gently as he cleaned the sponge free of the soap. “I’ll have to disinfect it afterwards.” Izuku said softly. Toshinori nodded his head and carefully turned around, letting Izuku have at his back. He shivered a little bit as Izuku cleaned him up a little bit. “Sorry…” Izuku whispered gently. “Don’t be, I had fun.” Toshinori told him. “And I liked it to be honest.” He said to Izuku. “I wouldn’t mind if you continued to scratch at my back.” “Masochist.” Izuku muttered under his breath. “Says the boy who begged me to break him.” Toshinori teased Izuku and laughed when Izuku lapped his arm playfully. “Bully!” “Aren’t I just horrible!” Toshinori laughed and turned around. He grabbed the bucket and filled it with water and dumped it over Izuku’s head soaking the boy. =============================================================================== Carrying the teen to the room, he set him on his desk chair. He walked to his closet and grabbed a shirt. Handing it to Izuku he smiled. “I’ll massage your back before you go to sleep. I don’t want you sore in the morning.” He informed him. Izuku nodded his head. “Only if you let me fix your back.” Izuku grabbed the shirt and pulled it on. He stood up. The shirt went down to his thighs. “I keep forgetting that you are rather large with your clothing.” “Well I am 7’2.” He told Izuku as he walked towards the bed, he pulled the covers off and the blanket. “I’m going to remake the bed, if you want to get the first aid kit, it’s in the kitchen on top of the fridge.” He informed. Izuku nodded his head and walked out of the bedroom. He smiled to himself as he touched his neck. During their intimate moment, he felt a lot of love from the man. Even though he had said some pretty cruel things, he felt the love. He could feel that Toshinori wanted him near, that the moment they shared was special to him. Getting the chair from the dining room, he pulled it up to the fridge and climbed on it. Grabbing the first aid kit, he tossed it on the counter and got off the chair. Walking towards the table, he pushed the chair in. He grabbed the first aid kit and walked to the bedroom. He saw Toshinori pulling on the sheets. “It would be a lot easier if I wasn't so tall, california kids are difficult.” Toshinori muttered as he grabbed the top sheet and threw it on the bed. He turned and looked at Izuku. “Good you found it.” He smiled faintly. “I’ll let you fix me up first, my back hurts a little bit.” He informed. Izuku nodded his head and set it off to the side. He walked towards the bed and helped Toshinori make the bed. Once it was made he handed the man some clothes. “Naked man.” Slipping on the boxers, Toshinori lied on the bed, resting his head on his arms while he laid on his stomach. Grabbing the small box, Izuku sat on the bed and opened it. He quickly got to work on fixing his back. He loved the way, the man’s muscles rippled as he touched him. “You are a beautiful man Toshi.” Izuku whispered. Toshinori blinked and felt his face heat up, he buried his face in his hands. “T-thanks.” He mumbled at the compliment. Izuku smiled and pulled his hands away from the blondes back. “There.” He smiled softly. “You’re back is patched up.” He said softly. Sitting up, Toshinori picked up the first aid kit and set it on the floor, he reached into his night stand and grabbed some lotion from it. Izuku pulled up the shirt and laid on his stomach, he shivered when Toshinori applied some lotion to his lower back. “Cold…” The boy whined a little bit but mewled in bliss as the lotion was worked into his lower back. He closed his eyes and melted into the mattress below. He felt the kneading on his back, going higher to his shoulders. He felt Toshinori leave feather like kisses down his spine. Pulling away, Toshinori pulled the shirt down and placed the lotion on his bed. He lied down next to Izuku and held him to his chest. Kissing the side of his head, he whispered sweet nothings to the boy as they relaxed and cuddled into one another. It was a perfect way to end the day.
