He was just as hopeful as Izuku when it came to Bakugo’s return....

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.
“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 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-”
“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!”
“Huh?!”
“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!”
“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.
“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.
“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?”
“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.
“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.
“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!”
Izuku was quiet as he took in everything Kirishima told him. “What should I have done?” He asked guiltily.
“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!”
“Kacchan…”
“He needs all of us. Todoroki too! So come on! Let’s show him what his real family is like! Whether he likes it or not!”

“A small fire broke out on a trail in Musutafu today! Luckily the damage didn’t spread too far due to an anonymous tip from a hiker who-”
“Let’s turn that off!” Aizawa Eri yawned to her cat.
“Meow!” Lemillie suddenly leapt away causing UA’s school nurse to fall to the floor.
“Aunt Eri…. It’s me….”
“Huh? Yagi-kun?” She got up and opened the door, and gasped at the sight she saw.
“I didn’t know where you were.” Izuku smiled at him. “I just thought, maybe, when you did come back, you would look for me! Because that’s what I would do! If it was me…”
“It is not!” Izuku fumed. “It’s cozy!”
“I told you when you got it that you could afford better!”
“Well, when I was a hero, I was hardly home!” Izuku asserted. “I didn’t need a fancy place!”
“Fine, Kacchan. You were right, happy?” Izuku grumbled.
“No.” Katsuki kissed him.
“Izuku.” Katsuki sighed. “It wasn’t okay! Whatever those bastards said to him didn’t give him an excuse to say that shit to you!”
Izuku smiled at his mate before gently kissing him on the cheek. “You’re already showing me you’re a great sire, Kacchan.”
He unlocked the apartment and was surprised to find it empty.
“Yagi? Yagi, are you home?!” Izuku ran to his room to see it empty except for a note on the bed.
“Bakugo?” Shoto entered the apartment shortly after they arrived and was surprised to see him.
“I accidentally slept in. I came here to look for him.” Shoto informed him.
“…No!”
They both were startled by Izuku’s pained cry.
“Shit, did he run away?!” Katsuki questioned.
“What does it say?” Shoto held his hand out and Izuku handed him the letter.
‘Dear Mom,
I don’t know how to face you in person anymore. What I said, you didn’t deserve. I’m really sorry. If I could take it back, I would! I want you to know, this has nothing to do with you’
Yagi.’
“Where could he have gone?!”
“We have to find him!” Izuku cried. “He said he would be safe and okay, right?! So someone we know has to know where he is! He has to be with someone he knows!”
“Don’t worry, Izuku.” Katsuki sighed. “I’ve got an idea.”

Kaminari woke up with a large gasp of air in somewhere unfamiliar. “AHHHH! AH! Where am I?!” He shivered before holding himself. “I feel gross!”
“I understand what you mean…” Eri sighed in relief. “Coming back to life takes a huge toll on you….” She panted in exhaustion.
“I was hoping to ask you…” She slumped to the ground. “You were brought to me all burned up… but Ya- the person who brought you ran off before I could ask questions!”
“Luckily your blood was still warm… if they brought you later, I wouldn’t have been able to do anything.” She informed him. “You really don’t remember anything at all?”
“The last thing I remember was….” Denki rattled his brain. “Being angry?”
“Thats right. He stayed. I might even make him breakfast.” Hanta bragged. “Just because Bakugo’s back doesn’t mean you stand any chance, got it?”
“Great Explosion Murder God DynaMight had been confirmed alive! We have the very first sighting of him in in front of UA! His formerly widowed partner Deku and Hero Shoto are by his side!”
“Oh… that’s right outside.” Eri noted as she rubbed her head.
“I should use this as a chance to get home then!” Denki said worriedly before reaching into his pockets. “Hey… did uh.. my keys get destroyed too?”

“Yacchan! What are we doing?!” Risa questioned worriedly.
“I told you to just shut up on follow me!” Yagi snapped.
“Why do you have a backpack full of things? Are we going camping?” She ignored him.
“Risa, listen to me.” Yagi grabbed her wrists.
“Just follow me!”
She felt a weird feeling stir in her stomach the closer they got to their destination. A… prison?
“Come on!” Yagi entered through the back ‘hero entrance’ using a key pass.
“How did you get that?!”
“It doesn’t matter! What matters is we have to keep quiet! Put this on!” He handed her something that looked like a costume while he put on a ninja-like mask. He then walked to a computer and stuck the key pass in it.
‘Hero: Chargebolt. Password please:”
“Try yay!” Risa suggested.
“I don’t that’s-” He then looked at her white hair before narrowing his eyes. He typed in the computer ‘Shoto’ and gagged when it let him in. He always felt things were weird between them!
Yagi smirked at the words before looking up the name of the villain who sent his father away! ‘Shikudo Soma’
“He’s in level two! Come on!” He grabbed Risa’s wrist, making her drop her phone.
“Put that away! Come on! We don’t have a lot of time now!”
“No! I’m not going one step further until you tell me why we’re here!”
“H-huh?” Risa blinked.
“You kept asking me why I’ve changed so much. Why I’m not happy,”
“No!” Risa snapped.
“Are you going to let me be arrested then? You’re going to let mom find out I murdered someone?! He’ll certainly drop again if he finds out what I did. And you can keep quiet and help me or you can let him die! Up to you!”
“We don’t need to break him out of prison… but if you can freeze his quirk suppressing cuffs, I can easily break them into pieces!” Yagi informed her.
“Good. Now stay quiet. We can’t draw attention to ourselves.”
She nodded her head as she followed him before discreetly sending her location to her Uncle Shoto.
“I’m not exactly sure what happened. I just know he was scared! I wish I could have made him stay and talk to him, but in order to save Kaminari-San, I had to act fast!”
“Or maybe it was an accident.” Katsuki supplied. “Half and Half, what were you up to this morning?” He questioned.
“Huh? What does that have to do with-”
“Um…” Shoto frantically turned to Izuku was awkwardly looking away. “Yes… I was with Sero this morning.” He shamefully admitted.
“I’m 26.”
“YOU ARE NOT OLDER THAN ME! KEEP YOUR EARS COVERED!”
Eri sighed before doing as instructed.
“Long story short, your little toys couldn’t get to tog anymore so they took it out on Yagi!”
“They told him I was dead, Izuku was crazy, he needs to be a better son to you blah blah blah. If you’re still dipping your knot in one of ‘em. What do you think happened? The other one tried to get revenge! And look what that got him!”
“You think he attacked Yagi?!”
“I bet whatever he did, he’s damn lucky that kid was raised by you!” Katsuki insisted while the three of them looked down sadly.
Shoto then got a notification on his phone that startled him. “Huh?” His eyes then widened in realization.
“What is it?”
“Is she with him?!” Izuku questioned hopefully.
“Yes! But they’re at Tokyo Ward! That’s where the villain who sent Bakugo away is! He’s trying to disappear!”
“COME ON!” Katsuki grabbed Izuku’s waist. “I’ll get us there fast!”
“This place is stupidly easy to sneak in and out of when you have a key!” Risa noted.
“Shush! Don’t be so loud.” He whispered harshly as they got to the staircase that led to the prison wards.
“Why is this place like a maze?!” He questioned in irritation. “What’s the point of a hero entrance if it takes longer than just going through the front?!”
“There’s really no elevator?!” He grumbled.
“Afraid not.” Risa huffed. “Wait! Ah! Wait! You’re pulling too hard! Just…. Give me a second to breathe!”
“I don’t have a second!” Yagi seethed.
“How can you be this out of shape?! You wiped the floor everyone but me in a training exercise a week ago?!” He question in irritation.
“I think… yesterday’s lesson wore me out!”
“Fuck this! Grab hold of me!” He grabbed by the waist and launched himself with an explosion higher and higher!
“Well now you’re definitely drawing attention to us!” Risa shreiked.
“Ack!”
“Well well well, look who was a little too slow.” Katsuki crossed his arms.
“You-” Yagi growled before being startled by his mom throwing his arms around him.
“YAGI!”
“Thank you, Risa for helping find him.” Shoto sighed in relief.
“YOU TRAITOR!” Yagi screamed.
“I’m sorry! But I couldn’t just let you leave for 16 years!” Risa cried. “It wouldn’t be right!”
“I told you why!” Yagi shoved him away. “I’m a bad person who does bad things! I shouldn’t be around you anymore or Papa or DynaMight! I’ll just make you suffer! I’ll just keep hurting you!”
Yagi stared at his hand before whacking it away as he realized how horrible of an impression he’s made. “Stop it.. I… dreamt of that my whole life…” he sobbed.
“I’m saying I don’t care how far you go down the wrong path! Let me at least try to stop you as your mom! Let me be here for all of it! Stay here Yagi! Stay and fight me and hate me and push me away all you want, I don’t care!”
“And you’re not a villain….” Izuku cried with him. “You’ll always be Mama’s favorite hero!”
Katsuki watched on sadly before Shoto pulled him into the embrace as well with his stupidly long arms! And then Fuyumi’s brat joined in on her own.
He grabbed Izuku’s hand and kissed it.
“Let’s go home.”
“The neighborhood is really close to your agency, Todoroki-kun, and it’s only a quick train ride to UA!”
Yagi watched Katsuki as he rolled his eyes in the passenger seat, clearly not completely happy with Uncle Shoto living with them.
The apartment was small, so of course Yagi could hear them negotiating when they thought he was asleep.
There was a long moment of silence while Yagi’s heart beat quickly.
“Izuku. What do you want to do?” Katsuki had questioned him.
“Really?” Shoto questioned gratefully.
“He clearly needs it! I’m still trying to find my place in his life, and I won’t be able to do that by blowing up the only family he’s known!”
“Kacchan…” Izuku said emotionally before Yagi had to cover his ears from all the gross kissy noises. “Thank you! Thank you!”
“You can have your nerd cave, Izuku.” Katsuki chuffed.
“That’s fine with me too.”
“But Yagi! If you would rather use it for-”
“I have figured I wanna store too, mom.” Yagi mumbled before Izuku turned around and smiled at him so brightly, it was blinding.
“Of course! They will definitely be safe in there!”
“The yard is nice and big so we can finally have guests over and maybe even get a dog!”
“A dog?!” Katsuki questioned.
“You always wanted one, right Kacchan?! I remember when we were 6,”
“It was a good plan!” Katsuki fumed.
“Yagi always wanted a dog or cat too! He even brought a snake in one time! He loves animals!”
He knew whatever thought his mom voiced out loud about this house could have been his last ones. The more he talked, the more grateful Yagi was that he was alive.
“Let’s get settled in before we decide on something like that.” Katsuki scolded his mate.
“Right! Sorry! I’m just… so happy we’re all here!” Izuku smiled at him.
“Alright! Izuku and I get the big room, everyone else pick what you want!” Katsuki declared.
“Yagi? How are you doing?” Izuku questioned.
“I’m fine Mama. I’m just putting these books up!”
“Need help?” Izuku opened the door shyly and Yagi quietly nodded his head.
“It’s big.” Yagi noted. “But it’s cool, I guess.”
“I’m glad you like it! Kacchan thinks it should be bigger!” Izuku hummed.
“I did, didn’t I?” Izuku smiled shyly.
“So it’s my fault he doesn’t like it, right? If I didn’t make you-”
“You didn’t make me do anything!” Izuku insisted.
“You make me happy too!” Izuku insisted. “And your Papa…. Truthfully, I don’t know what I would have done without Shoto-kun! But, I think the reason I was able to have so much faith in your sire returning is you!”
“Because you’re so amazing, Yagi! I’m so proud to call you mine! Even at your worst, and you were a terrible toddler! I still thought, Kacchan is going to love him! You’re the most amazing thing I’ve ever done!” Izuku beamed making Yagi break down.
“Kaminari lived.” Izuku shrugged before hugging him. “Because you did the right thing and brought him to your Auntie Eri. Kacchan used to be mean to me too… but that didn’t stop me from seeing him!”
“Thank you… thank you, Mama!”
“Shh… of course you do.” Izuku kissed his forehead. “And you’ll show me exactly how like you always have!”
“Mm… mmhmm!” Yagi nodded his head. “I… really like the house, mom!”
“Me too!” Izuku held him tight.
“Yo!” He knocked on the door before barging in. “I’m making Katsudon!”
“MY FAVORITE!” They said at the same time.
Katsuki smirked before turning around. “Good! Hope you like spice too!”
“And Soba!” Shoto called from across the hall.
“And soba for you!”
Kaminari and Sero needed to pay!
Denki slumped over to his kitchen and drank the rest of an old water bottle.
He was over the moon when the alpha called him and asked him to lunch! He said he had something important to ask him and Denki couldn’t be more excited! Was he finally ready for that next step?
When Midoriya told them all he was pregnant, Denki felt nothing but dread.
