“Kacchan will come back! He promised he would! See?” Izuku showed them the last message he sent on his phone. “It’ll be okay!” He balled his fists in determination.
“Midoriya-” Kaminari stressed. “He-”
“Has to come back and meet his child.” Izuku put his hand on his stomach.

2
They all stopped trying to make him understand after that. It became very clear to all of them why he wouldn’t believe them. It was because he couldn’t. Not without losing the pup that was growing inside him.
Shoto made a decision then that he wasn’t going to let him be alone.
Shoto made a decision then that he wasn’t going to let him be alone.
3
He wasn’t going to let him go through a whole pregnancy hoping for Bakugo’s return alone! He moved in with him after Bakugo’s funeral into his humble apartment that he refused to move out of. They turned Midoriya’s office room into a nursery,
4
and Shoto moved into the rather spacious coat closet that Midoriya was using to store his collectibles. Sure, he had amorous feelings for the omega. But he was closest friend so it impossible not to. He didn’t let it get in the way of the right thing to do.
5
Izuku never stopped hoping for Bakugo’s return. And he raised Yagi hoping for it as well. Shoto knew he had to believe this way in order to stay alive. If it made his life easier, it wasn’t Shoto’s place to deny it. He loved Yagi and he loved Izuku but he was also human.
6
And he had human urges. His alpha instincts were begging for him to claim Midoriyaz And he knew fighting them was going to be a challenge. Luckily, he had friends willing to help with that.
“I’m… sorry?” He asked Kaminari one day.
“I said I can help you with your ruts!”
“I’m… sorry?” He asked Kaminari one day.
“I said I can help you with your ruts!”
7
The beta had offered at a bar one day. “You’re a handsome guy, I don’t mind! Playing house with Midoriya’s gotta be driving you crazy, right? Let me help take some of the edge off!”
It sounded logical at the time and Shoto really didn’t want to ever break and impose on Izuku.

8
It did help. And when Sero asked him one day how he tolerated living with an omega and raising a child together without the benefits that came with it, Shoto gave Denki credit for helping keep his instincts at bay. And then he offered to help too!
9
He made it clear to both Hanta and Denki that he wasn’t in a place where he could have a romantic relationship. That Izuku and Yagi would always come first. And they both seemed okay with it for the first few years. But then Denki found out about Hanta and didn’t take it well.
10
“Todoroki-kun…” Izuku approached him seriously one day. “I really appreciate all you’ve done for me and Yagi but… if you want to move on with your life, you can! I have to stay here for Kacchan. But you deserve to be happy! You’re the most sought after hero bachelor, you know!”
11
“I’m happy here.” Shoto smiled sweetly. “Watching Yagi grow up with the childhood I never had is nice.”
“Really?” Izuku smiled sadly and Shoto could tell something was wrong.
“Did something happpen?”
“I just got off the phone with Kaminari-kun. He made some fair points!”
“Really?” Izuku smiled sadly and Shoto could tell something was wrong.
“Did something happpen?”
“I just got off the phone with Kaminari-kun. He made some fair points!”
12
“What did he say to you?!” Shoto paled. He never told Izuku that he spent his ruts with other people. All the omega knew was he would get a hotel to deal with them.
“Just that maybe I’m being unfair to you! I never want to hold you back from a happy family!”
“Just that maybe I’m being unfair to you! I never want to hold you back from a happy family!”
13
“I’ve been happier living with you and Yagi than I have in a long time!” Shoto insisted. “His concern isn’t warranted!”
“I guess I just worry for you when Kacchan comes back! I don’t know how he’ll feel about you living with us!”
“I guess I just worry for you when Kacchan comes back! I don’t know how he’ll feel about you living with us!”
14
“Kaminari-kun’s right that it’s selfish of me to hold onto you until then! I feel terrible! I’ve kept you from having a real family and forced you to become mine! Yagi loves you like a father, and I rely on you too much! I’m sorry!”
“Midoriya, I know what I signed up for!”
“Midoriya, I know what I signed up for!”
15
Shoto grabbed his hands. “But nothing is going to convince me to let you do this alone! If Bakugo throws my things out the door and never lets me return, I will still be glad I kept you and your family safe and happy until he came back! You said it yourself right?!”
16
“Being a hero is giving help even when it’s not asked for!”
Izuku nodded his head and cried into his chest gratefully that night. And Shoto stopped seeing Kaminari. He stopped seeing Hanta too for good measure. They both seemed to take it well. But maybe he was naive.

17
They managed to maintain their friendship which was good for Yagi Shoto thought he was able to provide him a happy childhood. Yagi never wanted for anything, never witnessed any hostility in their household, never so much as saw Shoto raise his voice at Izuku.
18
He was a happy child who was just as sweet and energetic as his dam. And also confident and driven as his sire. But Shoto never did ask him how he felt about constantly waiting for someone that was never coming. He never asked him if he was okay with Izuku’s denial.
19
But he never anticipated him lashing out in such an awful way! Izuku was a wonderful dam even if he was hanging onto a hopeless dream. He didn’t deserve this. The way Yagi spoke reminded Shoto of Touya. And he wondered if this was somehow all his own fault.
20
Did he just see what he wanted to see? Parenting was harder than Shoto ever anticipated, and he didn’t know what he would do if Izuku didn’t make it. How would he be able to look Yagi in the face?!
After Yagi said those awful words to Izuku, he was inconsolable.
After Yagi said those awful words to Izuku, he was inconsolable.
21
No matter what Shoto said or did, Izuku wouldn’t stop crying. Not because he believed what Yagi said about Bakugo moving on, but because he was hurt and angry enough to say it.
Izuku felt like he failed him. That he caused so much pain in his child that he earned his hatred.

22
He tried to apologize but Yagi wouldn’t even sit for dinner and the rejection pained Izuku like nothing Shoto had ever seen before.
So Izuku did what he never allowed himself to do. He accepted Bakugo’s death. He took the time and allowed himself to finally grieve.

23
“You saw him die, right?” Izuku asked Shoto to accompany him to Bakugo’s grave.
“Yes…”
“What were his last words? Tell me…”
“He told me to tell you he was sorry…”
Izuku sunk deeper and deeper into his own grief. Like everything he did, he pushed himself too far too fast.
“Yes…”
“What were his last words? Tell me…”
“He told me to tell you he was sorry…”
Izuku sunk deeper and deeper into his own grief. Like everything he did, he pushed himself too far too fast.
24
Because accepting that Bakugo was dead also made Izuku take a hard look at his own behavior after he died.
“I made you put your life on hold! I gave Yagi false hope! I didn’t come to Kacchan’s funeral! I’ve never even visited his grave! How awful! I’ve been so awful!”
“I made you put your life on hold! I gave Yagi false hope! I didn’t come to Kacchan’s funeral! I’ve never even visited his grave! How awful! I’ve been so awful!”
25
“You did what you had to do to live, Midoriya!”
“Izuku…”
“Huh?”
“You can call me Izuku…” Then he kissed him. Shoto knew he was just doing what he thought Yagi wanted.
“Stop…” He gently pushed him away. “You don’t want this!”
“Izuku…”
“Huh?”
“You can call me Izuku…” Then he kissed him. Shoto knew he was just doing what he thought Yagi wanted.
“Stop…” He gently pushed him away. “You don’t want this!”
26
“Yagi deserves a complete family, doesn’t he?!” Izuku cried in distress. “Doesn’t he deserve parents who love each other?! I need to move on, right?! Because Kacchan’s not coming back! I need to stop torturing everyone around me! So please love me like you want to!”
27
“I DON’T WANT TO LOVE YOU!” Shoto said desperately. “Not like-”
“Oh… right…” Izuku took it as a rejection. It was the wrong thing to say at the worst time.
All Shoto meant to say was he didn’t need to be with him in that way to be happy! He knew he could never fill that void

28
And that’s what Bakugo left behind. A huge void of pain that Shoto could never hope to make better.
If he just made Izuku somehow accept it before Yagi was born… if he just told Yagi the truth when he was young and could understand his mom’s need to believe it.

29
Shoto felt like he failed his family, too, and if he lost Izuku, he didn’t know how he was going to be there for Yagi. He suddenly related to his father. It must have been painful to fight for Touya despite the death and pain he caused even if it was ultimately Endeavors fault.
30
Yagi was only a kid and Shoto needed to hear him out and find out where this was all coming from! He needed to confront him head on and make him understand that he didn’t want to lose the person who loved him the most in this world this way!
31
Shoto grabbed his phone, hoping to text him and was surprised to see it blowing up with messages. He let the hero network know he was on family leave and wouldn’t be able to work anytime soon. Then he heard a huge commotion in the hallway.
“LET ME THROUGH DAMNIT!”
“LET ME THROUGH DAMNIT!”
32
Shoto felt his heart stop at the sound of that voice. He would recognize it anywhere!
“Bakugo?!” He ran into the hallway to the see his ‘deceased’ friend being held back by the nurses.
“It’s not Yagi-kun! It’s a stranger!” One of the nurses shouted to security.
“Bakugo?!” He ran into the hallway to the see his ‘deceased’ friend being held back by the nurses.
“It’s not Yagi-kun! It’s a stranger!” One of the nurses shouted to security.
33
“A DynaMight impersonator?! How cruel! Stop moving!”
“Bakugo… is that really you?!” Shoto rushed to them.
“Huh? Todoroki-San! It can’t be the real him, right?!”
“Half and Half?! Tell them all to back off and take me to Izuku! What the hell is he doing in a place like this?!”
“Bakugo… is that really you?!” Shoto rushed to them.
“Huh? Todoroki-San! It can’t be the real him, right?!”
“Half and Half?! Tell them all to back off and take me to Izuku! What the hell is he doing in a place like this?!”
34
Shoto was in disbelief. He didn’t look like he had aged a day. The scratches and wounds Bakugo had received from that fateful day were still fresh on his skin. Shoto’s phone kept blowing up in his pocket and he glanced down to see the first notification from Hero News Network.
35
‘Deceased Shiketsu High Disaster Victims turn up at school ALIVE!’
‘Powerful Disgraced Former Student’s Quirk Explained!’
‘No Dynamight sightings yet!’
“LET HIM THROUGH! IT’S HIM!” Shoto demanded, shocking the nurses.
“Where is he?! What happened while I was gone?!”

“Where is he?! What happened while I was gone?!”
36
“We don’t have 16 years to explain! Follow me!” Shoto grabbed his wrist and dragged him toward Izuku’s hospital room.
“Fuck! You’re starting to look old! It really has been that long?!” Katsuki questioned in a panic.
“I should be the one asking questions!”
“Fuck! You’re starting to look old! It really has been that long?!” Katsuki questioned in a panic.
“I should be the one asking questions!”
37
Izuku interrupted Shoto. “He’s very sensitive like I used to be! One time when he was young, my neighbor moved away and he was inconsolable! You should have seen it! He’s hated every single neighbor that’s moved in since! He’s a lot like you too!” He laughed fondly.
38
Katsuki observed his new mate and he could feel the omegas anxiety increasing as he couldn’t hide his trembling hands. Shoto gave him a look that pleaded not press the issue. That said ‘I will tell you everything later’.
Something was clearly not right.
Something was clearly not right.
39
“Hey.” Katsuki grabbed his hand and caressed it softly. “Enough about the brat. What about you? What have you been doing with yourself all this time besides being the best dam ever and waiting for me?”
“O-oh! Right! I’ve been managing your agency! It’s still running Kacchan!”
“O-oh! Right! I’ve been managing your agency! It’s still running Kacchan!”
40
Izuku said proudly. “There’s so many heroes who look up to you with similar quirks! I can’t wait for you to meet them all, you are going to be so excited!”
“It’s actually one of the top agencies around.” Shoto noted. “It’s known for the way it cultivates stand out heroes and-”

41
“-gives them a place to grow until they can start their own agencies. Midoriya does a really good job!” He praised.
“Of course he does! And Deku, it was /our/ agency!” Katsuki reminded him while using his hero name and Izuku nodded gratefully.
“Yeah… it was, huh?”

Yagi let himself inside the Todoroki family manor. His ‘Grandpa Endeavor’ gave him a key and informed him he was always allowed over. And he couldn’t go home due to reporters and fans and former heroes surrounding it looking for his now very alive sire.

43
“Yagi?! Is that you?” His Aunt Fuyumi immediately recognized his footsteps.
“YACCHAN?! I SAW HIM! I SAW YOUR PAPA! I THOUGHT IT WAS YOU! ISN’T THAT CRAZY?!” Risa excitedly ran to meet him in the hallway.
“Shut it. I’m not here for you!” He snapped at her.

44
“Is it really true?” His Grandma Rei was also out and about. “I’m happy for you and Izuku-kun.”
Yagi walked in to see all of Uncle Shoto’s family in the living room glued to the tv, watching the news.
“Shoto isn’t answering my calls. Did he send you here?”

45
Grandpa Endeavor questioned.
“No. But I can’t go home right now because everyone’s looking for a ghost!” Yagi snapped. “I’m going to my room.” He said while marching toward his Uncle Shoto’s old childhood room. But when he was sure they stopped watching him, he took a turn.

46
He had only visited a few times with Uncle Shoto, but there was one person he actually came here to see. Deep in the Todoroki manor was a makeshift house arrest prison where Uncle Touya lived out his days to pay for his crimes!
And Yagi needed to hear his opinion!
And Yagi needed to hear his opinion!
47
He walked in unannounced and immediately heard the sarcastic drawl of Uncle Touya.
“What? I don’t deserve privacy?! No knocking?! What if I was blowing off some steam in the only way I can in this dump?!”
“It’s me, Uncle Touya.” Yagi announced before turning the corner.
“What? I don’t deserve privacy?! No knocking?! What if I was blowing off some steam in the only way I can in this dump?!”
“It’s me, Uncle Touya.” Yagi announced before turning the corner.
48
Touya lazing around playing some dumb video game where had to be a goose.
“Well well well, if it isn’t Shoto’s little bastard? Damn, you look too much like your real dad in that uniform. Brings back memories!” He smirked fondly. “You know we tied him up real good!”
“Well well well, if it isn’t Shoto’s little bastard? Damn, you look too much like your real dad in that uniform. Brings back memories!” He smirked fondly. “You know we tied him up real good!”
49
“Yeah?” Yagi asked, unfazed. “He’s back, you know.”
“Huh?” Touya paused his game. “From the dead? Again?”
“According to the news, he never died. It was some dimension quirk, I don’t really know.” Yagi sighed. “Mom was right this whole time.”
“Huh?” Touya paused his game. “From the dead? Again?”
“According to the news, he never died. It was some dimension quirk, I don’t really know.” Yagi sighed. “Mom was right this whole time.”
50
“Ah.. hahahaha… poor little Shoto…” Touya shook his head. “Guess his Prince Charming act will never pay off! I told him that guy will never love him! Your mom’s a real self righteous pain in the ass, but he sure doesn’t play around about real Dad! Grossed Compress out!”
51
“I made mom drop!” Yagi blurted out.
“Huh?”
“I thought he was crazy! I don’t know, our whole life we’ve been waiting for that…guy! And… I felt angry and upset that he was never coming! Mom made me believe he would! But someone convinced me he was gone forever!”
“Huh?”
“I thought he was crazy! I don’t know, our whole life we’ve been waiting for that…guy! And… I felt angry and upset that he was never coming! Mom made me believe he would! But someone convinced me he was gone forever!”
52
“And it hurt to think that I haven’t called Uncle Shoto ‘Father’ when he’s the only other man who raised me! It hurt to think I was training and training my quirk to eventually show off to this great hero who was never going to see it! I was never allowed to visit his grave,”
53
“I was never allowed to accept what everyone else thought was reality! And it made me mad that mom gave me this hope for someone who was never coming! So I said some really cruel things to him that I can’t take back! I forced him to accept that guy was dead for good!”
54
He teared up. “And he dropped… he would have died if that guy didn’t come back… and it would have been all my fault!”
“So why are you telling me this?” Touya questioned. “Don’t get me wrong, I love to hear updates on Shoto’s soap opera, but why tell me? I’m not a priest!”
“So why are you telling me this?” Touya questioned. “Don’t get me wrong, I love to hear updates on Shoto’s soap opera, but why tell me? I’m not a priest!”
55
“You killed people, right?” Yagi questioned. “You’ve hurt your mom too. Everyone has scars from it. Does it ever get easier? Seeing her face and knowing what you did?”
“Wow! Straight to the point, huh?” Touya’s eyes widened in amusement.
“Just tell me!”
“Wow! Straight to the point, huh?” Touya’s eyes widened in amusement.
“Just tell me!”
56
Yagi snapped.
“I’ll tell you something. Your mom has really been through the wringer thanks to me and my friends and a lot of other factors out there! I’m sure we’re not the only reason he’s that crazy! So for him to drop? You must have really hit a nerve, kid.” Touya snickered

57
“You wanna know how I live with myself? The only way I’ve been able to survive this long!” He grabbed a dart and launched it at an Endeavor Poster across the room. “I blame him! Sure, pops and I are doin’ much better! But this all started with him. Hey! Why don’t you try it?!”
58
He handed Yagi a dart and moved him by to face another dart filled poster that had Shoto, Deku and DynaMight on it.
Yagi looked at the dart sadly before staring into DynaMight’s piercing red eyes in the poster. Then he used his quirk to launch it directly to his face.

Katsuki hated huge commotions. Especially when they centered around him! What him and Izuku needed was some damn privacy, but it was impossible when everyone: family, friends, press, fans wanted to get a glimpse of him!

60
There was a lot of changes in the world that were overwhelming for the alpha. And Izuku was still struggling to breathe. The doctors said it would take him months to fully recover from his drop but as long as Katsuki remained by his side and he isn’t exposed to more stress,
61
he should be back to his old self.
“Take us to my father’s house.” Shoto instructed his driver the next morning after they left the omega center. Thankfully the press weren’t alerted to where Izuku was admitted. But they were tipped off he was admitted somewhere!

62
“You really think wearing this is going to trick people?!” Katsuki questioned in embarrassment in his old UA uniform.
“You’ve seen Yagi yourself, you look the same. Just keep the sunglasses on.” Shoto shrugged.
“Endeavor-San said he went to school today?” Izuku asked him.
“You’ve seen Yagi yourself, you look the same. Just keep the sunglasses on.” Shoto shrugged.
“Endeavor-San said he went to school today?” Izuku asked him.
63
“Yes, Tokoyami volunteered to fly him there so he can avoid the press.” Shoto reassured him before instinctively grabbing his hand which earned a low growl from Katsuki. “Oh… sorry.”
“Kacchan, Todoroki has been taking care of me and Yagi all this time! It’s not like that!”
“Kacchan, Todoroki has been taking care of me and Yagi all this time! It’s not like that!”
64
Izuku said nervously as Katsuki possessively squeezed the omega tighter to himself.
Truthfully, Katsuki didn’t know how to feel about that. Half and Half was practically Izuku’s de facto husband and Katsuki and Izuku never got to even enjoy each other as a real couple!

65
He never got to take Izuku on a real date or hold his hand everywhere they went! They never had long talks about their feelings or truly resolved the tension that’s been hanging over them their entire relationship. They never got to live together or fight about dishes,
66
or do taxes or have movie marathons cuddled on the couch.
The only thing they did was make a kid together and Todoroki was the one who got to raise him!
It wasn’t fair! Katsuki missed out on 16 years of Izuku’s life!

67
“Don’t worry. Midoriya’s faithfully waited for your return.” Shoto smiled at him in a way that pissed Katsuki off. Because it reminded him of Aizawa or Denim Head or All Might! Old men giving advice to young kids!
“Kacchan.” Izuku scented his wrist to calm him down.

68
“I tried to prepare for this, I’m sorry…” he said tiredly. “I tried to keep my place the same so you had somewhere familiar to come home to. But… it wasn’t fair to Yagi so I bought a house! Maybe it’s for the best! Maybe we can all start fresh!”
69
“I know a lot has changed but… I’ve kind of just accepted it too!” He smiled at him warmly. “We finally get to start our life together and I’m really excited about it!”
Katsuki melted at his mates positivity as he pulled him into a deep kiss.

70
“Ahem! We are driving past reporters!” The driver alerted them, causing Shoto to pull Izuku’s lips away from the guy they were disguising as his 15 year old son!
“They’re here too, huh?” Shoto sighed as the driver honked for them to move out of his way as he entered the gate.

71
Waiting in the Todoroki family home was Katsuki’s parents, All Might, Izuku’s mom, Iida, Sero, Kirishima and Kaminari.
“IT’S REALLY YOU!” Mitsuki threw her arms around her son and sobbed as Masaru followed.
It was hard for Katsuki to reconcile it’s been years.

It was hard for Katsuki to reconcile it’s been years.
72
He wanted to tell everyone who was there to fuck off and leave him and his mate alone!That Izuku needed to rest and shit like this was easily overwhelming! But everyone there had a reason to be this annoying! Because to them, Katsuki was a gonner!
73
Even Katsuki wasn’t so cruel as to disregard their feelings.
Everyone was happy and in high spirits all afternoon as they reunited. Izuku was also happy as everyone exchanged stories to Katsuki about his son.
“We’re all very proud of him.” All Might smiled.

74
“He’s the best of both of you!”
“He’s named after the one we admire most, afterall.” Izuku supplied.
“Are you okay, Young Midoriya?” All Might questioned. “You look tired.”
“I’m fine! Kacchan and I just had a lot to catch up on! We could hardly sleep!”

75
Katsuki sighed at the lie. Even though Izuku had been in a coma, his body needed lots of rest to recover. They were barely able to talk for over an hour before the omega succumbed to his exhaustion. The look on his face when Katsuki greeted him in the morning was everything.
76
“You finally stayed.” He said in great relief. “It wasn’t a dream…”
It was clear he needed more rest and the more everyone talked about Yagi, the more Katsuki could see and feel his anxiety. What was he so worried about? Everyone sung the kids high praises!

77
“I bet that really shocked you out of your drop, huh?” Kaminari said chipperly causing the entire room to go quiet. Nobody knew or believed the reports!
“How did you know?!” Shoto seethed.
“Oh shoot… sorry the kid told me about it!” Denki said nervously.
“How did you know?!” Shoto seethed.
“Oh shoot… sorry the kid told me about it!” Denki said nervously.
78
“So the reports were true? Izuku, what happened?” His mom rushed to his side.
“Uh…” Izuku looked at everyone’a concerned faces and panicked.
“Nothing that we can explain in so little time! Midoriya needs to rest and I’m sorry but you all should go home!” Shoto said quickly.
“Uh…” Izuku looked at everyone’a concerned faces and panicked.
“Nothing that we can explain in so little time! Midoriya needs to rest and I’m sorry but you all should go home!” Shoto said quickly.
79
“S-sorry!” Kaminari covered his mouth.
“It’s fine! You all can stay! I-” Izuku struggled to speak up.
“He’s very very happy now. Right, mom?” Yagi’s voice startled everyone as he returned from school.
“Yagi…” Izuku greeted hesitantly.

“The hell are you wearing that for?” Yagi grimaced at the uniform Katsuki was wearing. “Aren’t you like 20 or something?”
“We needed to keep the reporters from following us!” Shoto informed him. “Sorry, can you all leave?” He addressed everyone else.

“You got this, Katsuki.” Mitsuki gave Katsuki an encouraging squeeze before everyone gave the family some much needed privacy.
“Hi! I’m the one who told you what year it was!” Risa appeared from behind Yagi. “You guys are twins! Exciting!”
“Us too, Risa!” Fuyumi guided her.

Katsuki watched everyone leave the room anxiously as he suddenly didn’t want them to leave! He knew nothing about parenting, especially a teenager! What did the kid expect from him? A hug? That almost seemed disingenuous! He heard stories all day about him but really,
83
the kid was a stranger!
“Um… Yagi, this is Kacchan! And Kacchan, this is our son!” Izuku nervously introduced but the way he did it made Yagi’s stomach twist. He was using that guy as a barrier between them. Hiding like he was afraid of his own child!

84
“I’m YOUR son!” Yagi snapped, causing Izuku to flinch. “Not his!”
“Hey, what’s with the attitude?!” Katsuki growled protectively. “I know I’m a stranger but don’t take your anger out on him!”
“Kacchan it’s fine!” Izuku said desperately.

“Kacchan it’s fine!” Izuku said desperately.
85
“Newsflash Kacchan, it’s not fine!” Yagi said mockingly.
“Yagi!” Shoto snapped.
“What is it, father? You want me to replace you with this guy?” He pointed at Katsuki. “Or are you and mom replacing me?! Hell, he looks the part already!”
“Yagi!” Shoto snapped.
“What is it, father? You want me to replace you with this guy?” He pointed at Katsuki. “Or are you and mom replacing me?! Hell, he looks the part already!”
86
“I could never replace you Yagi!” Izuku asserted before running and throwing his arms around him. “I’m sorry you feel that way! I’m sorry I failed you! I-”
“You were willing to die when you finally accepted he was gone!” Yagi shoved him off of him. “YOU WERE GOING TO LEAVE ME!”
“You were willing to die when you finally accepted he was gone!” Yagi shoved him off of him. “YOU WERE GOING TO LEAVE ME!”
87
“Your sorries mean nothing! You got what you always wanted! So live your pathetic life without-”
“BAKUGO!” Shoto grabbed Katsuki’s hand just in time before it slapped Yagi across the face.
“Let me go Half and Half!” Katsuki fumed.
“BAKUGO!” Shoto grabbed Katsuki’s hand just in time before it slapped Yagi across the face.
“Let me go Half and Half!” Katsuki fumed.
88
“Kid said I wasn’t his parent, right?! Then let me put him in his place Mano a Mano! Listen here brat!” He shoved Shoto off him and grabbed Yagi by the collar. “I don’t care about this ‘you’re not my real dad’ bull crap you got going on!”
89
“I can’t help that I was warped into oblivion! Your mom can’t help that he knows me better than any of these assholes who assumed I was dead! So what’s your deal?! What’s got you so worked up, you made my mate drop?!” Katsuki growled.
“How did you-” Izuku gasped.
“How did you-” Izuku gasped.
90
“It wasn’t hard to put two and two together, Izuku!” Katsuki asserted. “Tell me, brat! What did you say to him?!”
“Fuck off!” Yagi burst into tears before kicking Katsuki in the nuts.
“Ah!”
“I’m going to bed! Mom! You have terrible taste in men!” He cried before running away.

91
The three were quiet for a long moment after he left.
“Well that went about as well as it could have.” Shoto sighed.
“When did you learn sarcasm?” Katsuki questioned.
“I wasn’t being sarcastic. I’ll go talk to him. Midoriya, it’s not your fault.” Shoto pat his head.

92
“It’ll get better.”
As soon as Shoto left the room, Izuku collapsed into Katsuki’s arms.
“Izuku!”
“It wasn’t always like this…” Izuku said as he trembled from the stress. “Yagi really was a happy child… he used to look up to you… he used to be my best friend…”

93
“I don’t know what happened… he presented alpha and suddenly became bitter and angry… he told me…” Izuku huffed, clearly deciding whether or not he should say the whole truth. “He told me you probably moved on with someone more useful than a quirkless omega.”
94
“I realized then he hated me and I didn’t know how to handle it. I tried to grieve you to make it better but my efforts did nothing. He refused to talk to me, refused to eat with us, didn’t notice any changes I made around the apartment to move on from you. So… I bought a house”
95
“I thought that would make him happy but… I still didn’t believe it. No matter how much I forced myself, no matter how much I pushed my hope away. No matter how much I grieved you, I still knew you were out there! And I realized I couldn’t earn Yagi’s love back!” He cried.
96
“Izuku.” Katsuki kneeled in front of him and wiped his tears him thumbs. “Something’s up with that kid but he doesn’t hate you. I could tell. It’s my face after all.” He sighed. “Wish he wouldn’t make the same mistakes I did! But, I gotta say,”
97
“I’m pretty bummed. You finally found someone you love more in this world than me, huh?”
Izuku looked at him sadly before passing out in exhaustion. Katsuki didn’t know where they were supposed to sleep in this house so he just held him as he laid down on the floor.

Katsuki knew he didn’t handle meeting that kid the right way at all. He was clearly in a lot of pain.
Shoto knocked lightly on his old bedroom door as he heard Yagi sobbing on the other side.
“It’s just me, Yagi.” He announced before entering.

99
“Why are you here?! Don’t you want to kiss that guys ass too?!” Yagi snapped.
Shoto watched him cry angrily before sitting next to him on his bed. “You were right.”
“Huh?”
“I do see you as my son. I never told you because I wanted to honor your mom’s feelings.”
Shoto watched him cry angrily before sitting next to him on his bed. “You were right.”
“Huh?”
“I do see you as my son. I never told you because I wanted to honor your mom’s feelings.”

“It’s too late for that.” Yagi grumbled. “Mom’s replaced you too.”
“You know that’s not true. Bakugo isn’t a replacement. Midoriya’s worked hard your whole upbringing to make room for him when he comes back. There’s never been anything to replace. He’s always been here.”
“You know that’s not true. Bakugo isn’t a replacement. Midoriya’s worked hard your whole upbringing to make room for him when he comes back. There’s never been anything to replace. He’s always been here.”
101
“Sure, it was crazy to do. But he did it for all of us. Especially you!” Shoto insisted. “I never tried to stop him because you never had a problem with it until now… I want to understand you! So tell me, where is this all coming from?!”
102
Yagi didn’t say anything for a long moment before grabbing blanket and crying into it. “It doesn’t matter!”
“Of course it matters!”
“No! It doesn’t! I keep hurting mom!” He sobbed. “I don’t know how to stop! I made him drop and then I screamed at him when he lived through it!”
“Of course it matters!”
“No! It doesn’t! I keep hurting mom!” He sobbed. “I don’t know how to stop! I made him drop and then I screamed at him when he lived through it!”
103
“The only thing keeping him alive is that guy! I should be grateful but I can’t be! Hurting mom is the only way I can feel I’m more important than him! I’m sick in the head! I don’t know why I feel this way! Help me, Papa! Help!”

TBC 💔

Shoto had slept on the floor of his old bedroom as he allowed Yagi to sleep on the bed. He needed help! This was a huge change for all of them, including Bakugo. And there was no way they would be able to have a peaceful home the way things were now.
106
Yagi was clearly confused and filled with too much guilt to know how to handle which caused him to lash out which caused him to feel more guilty! It was a vicious cycle and Shoto didn’t know where it started. He knew it wouldn’t be solved overnight,
