He was just as hopeful as Izuku when it came to Bakugo’s return. But he didn’t seem happy at all when they saw each other that day!
It must have been what Kaminari and Sero said! It had to be!
The three sat in Sato’s restaurant in a nice secluded booth.
“So, tell me about that kid’s quirk! You said you were in another dimension?” Eijiro questioned.
“I’ll tell you later! You had something to say about the kid!” Katsuki asserted.
“Right um… Midoriya.” Eijiro looked at him sheepishly. “What I’m about to say might be upsetting.”
“I’ll tell you later! You had something to say about the kid!” Katsuki asserted.
“Right um… Midoriya.” Eijiro looked at him sheepishly. “What I’m about to say might be upsetting.”
“I can handle it!” Izuku insisted. “I’ve never been one to need coddling, Kirishima-kun, but… I appreciate your concern.”
“I guess…” Eijiro shifted awkwardly. “There’s some things that have been going on for a long time you haven’t known about and I feel terrible for-”
“I guess…” Eijiro shifted awkwardly. “There’s some things that have been going on for a long time you haven’t known about and I feel terrible for-”
“Just spit it out!” Katsuki snapped impatiently.
“Alright! Um… here goes nothing! This is important for context okay? I really don’t like to be a gossip but Mina hears everything and-” Eijiro’s face turned red.
“Shitty Hair!”
“Alright! Um… here goes nothing! This is important for context okay? I really don’t like to be a gossip but Mina hears everything and-” Eijiro’s face turned red.
“Shitty Hair!”
“It’s started with Todoroki! Because living with you and raising a kid with you, Midoriya is hard for him and his alpha! He wanted to be sure he didn’t come on to you or do anything that made you uncomfortable so he… you know… slept around a bit.”
“Huh?!”
“Huh?!”
Katsuki and Izuku looked at each other and shock. Neither were expecting this.
“And… the people he primarily slept with were Sero and Kaminari.”
“HUH?!” Izuku and Katsuki’s eyes bugged out of their heads.
“Yeah, I know, anyway, they both told him it wasn’t a big deal!”
“And… the people he primarily slept with were Sero and Kaminari.”
“HUH?!” Izuku and Katsuki’s eyes bugged out of their heads.
“Yeah, I know, anyway, they both told him it wasn’t a big deal!”
“But they both totally got feelings for him! Todoroki didn’t know the half of it! It got ugly between the two of them! They both constantly one-up each other! They said horrible things and tried to turn all of us against the other! And then, they both found out the real problem”
“Izuku…” Katsuki put two and two together.
“H-huh? How am I a problem?!” Izuku questioned worriedly. “I didn’t even know Todoroki-kun was doing this!”
“You didn’t do anything wrong! But, you and Yagi were Todoroki’s number one priority!” Eijiro assured him.
“H-huh? How am I a problem?!” Izuku questioned worriedly. “I didn’t even know Todoroki-kun was doing this!”
“You didn’t do anything wrong! But, you and Yagi were Todoroki’s number one priority!” Eijiro assured him.
“Don’t sugarcoat it. Half and Half was into you way more than them.” Katsuki supplied.
“Kacchan, I told you, it wasn’t like that!” Izuku defended Shoto.
“Midoriya. It /is/ like that.” Eijiro sighed.
“You both have it wrong!” Izuku insisted.
“Kacchan, I told you, it wasn’t like that!” Izuku defended Shoto.
“Midoriya. It /is/ like that.” Eijiro sighed.
“You both have it wrong!” Izuku insisted.
“I’ve been living with him all these years, I know-”
“Any idiot raising a kid with you all these years would be attracted to you!” Katsuki barked. “I don’t like it but I don’t blame the guy!”
“Anyway,” Eijiro cleared his throat. “Remember when Kaminari lashed out at you?”

“Anyway,” Eijiro cleared his throat. “Remember when Kaminari lashed out at you?”
“That phone call? Is that what it was really about?” Izuku put the pieces together.
“What the hell did he say?” Katsuki questioned.
“Just that I was keeping Todoroki from living his life. It’s true… but… now I know that wasn’t coming from a place of concern…” Izuku grumbled.
“What the hell did he say?” Katsuki questioned.
“Just that I was keeping Todoroki from living his life. It’s true… but… now I know that wasn’t coming from a place of concern…” Izuku grumbled.
“Yeah, well, after that Todoroki cut both of them off! You also probably didn’t realize but he tried to keep the two from interacting with you as much as possible!” Eijiro shook his head. “But of course you were non the wiser, so you invited them to Yagi’s presentation party!”
“His what?” Katsuki cringed.
“I wanted him to feel confident!” Izuku defended himself.
“Yeah, well…. The two of them couldn’t get to you or Todoroki anymore so they went for Yagi!” Eijiro revealed.
“What?!”
“The hell they do?!” Katsuki growled.
“I wanted him to feel confident!” Izuku defended himself.
“Yeah, well…. The two of them couldn’t get to you or Todoroki anymore so they went for Yagi!” Eijiro revealed.
“What?!”
“The hell they do?!” Katsuki growled.
“Bakugo… we all believed you were dead except Midoriya and Yagi. Midoriya kept you alive in your home and that’s something no one felt comfortable stepping on. If Yagi wanted to believe him, we all agreed not to say otherwise! Until that party…” Eijiro said sadly.
“What did they say?!” Izuku felt his stomach twist.
“They crushed him and tried to force him to see ‘reality’” Kirishima said guiltily. “They told him you were crazy and it was time he saw that. That it was your omega’s fault. It was the only way you could survive!”
“They crushed him and tried to force him to see ‘reality’” Kirishima said guiltily. “They told him you were crazy and it was time he saw that. That it was your omega’s fault. It was the only way you could survive!”
“And they hammered it in that Bakugo was never coming back and Todoroki was his real Dad and he was being cruel by not seeing him that way! It was a rough thing to say to a kid! I tried to stop them but Yagi kind of snapped after and stormed off…”
“So he got his hopes crushed and blamed Izuku for giving him hope.” Katsuki clicked his tongue. “Guess he inherited by stupidity too.”
Izuku was quiet as he took in everything Kirishima told him. “What should I have done?” He asked guiltily.

“The thought of Yagi getting his hopes crushed like that…” He teared up. “Kacchan, when he was little… he used to practice ways he would meet you, ya know? He used to run around in your costume pieces… I used to have to hide the grenades….”
“‘When I meet Papa’ was something he said often…” Izuku hiccupped. “But… I don’t know if that was right thing. Should I have let him believe you were dead? That seems crueler. You showing up and him thinking ghosts exist! I don’t know… and everything with Todoroki…”
“Should I have just raised Yagi by myself? Would have been happier that way? I-”
“Hey.” Katsuki roughly wiped his tears with his thumb. “There’s no point in thinking of the what ifs right now! If I was more careful about that golden haired kid, none of us would be in this hell!”
