Chapter 3

Dating Mishaps

"Mmmmmmmm~" Izuku moaned gently in his sleep, tossing and turning slightly from under the covers of the bed. Green hair clung tightly to his sweaty forehead.

It was early in the morning but the sun had barely broken into the sky. Its light hardly breaking through the holes of the blinds over the window. The room still entirely dark besides the few streaks that hovered above the young Midoriya's head.

"Uhmmmmm," Izuku's eyes began to slowly open and he blinked at his new surroundings. Then his eyes shot open.

Shigaraki! The mission!

He looked around in fright and saw that it was a little later than it should've been! The other person was already out of bed, even.

His chest began to beat loudly. He didn't even try to question his surroundings, which for some reason felt warm and too familiar. Something he couldn't recall before but he shook the thoughts away. He had to finish what he came for!

Turning over the bed, he began searching in the nearby drawers, struggling a bit to find his case with the .45 Automag in it. Where was it?! It should have been in there!

Growing nervous, he started to search more furiously now, not even trying to be silent. He was starting to panic as the seconds passed.

The door made a click and he abruptly stood up. Standing there naked. And unarmed. He watched with wide eyes as the handle of the door slowly began to turn and a frown found its way onto his lips.

Deciding to forget the gun, he looked around for something else and spied the bathroom closet. Darting inside, he looked into the mirror, before swiftly smashing his fist into it! His disheveled appearance through the mirror cracking into a million pieces. In a booming crash. Blood splattered everywhere and the noise alerted the other person as they came rushing in!

"Dek—!" But before they could do anything, he picked up the largest shard in his bloody hand and jumped at his target without a moment's hesitation. Pushing the both of them to the ground. There was another crash as the other man's belongings flew out of his hand and fell scattered to the floor.

Izuku strangled the blond man by his neck and stabbed the mirror shard into his eye but stopped midway when light green met with orange. His memories quickly returning to him.

"K-K-Kacchan?" Izuku stuttered as he asked in shock and horror, more to himself than to the older man beneath him. He shook his head furiously, sitting upright, throwing the shard out of his grip. He started apologizing over and over again, slowly falling back onto him, grasping him by the nick of his shirt and half-hugging him. Hot tears were running down his eyes and soaking into Katsuki's shirt.

It happened again! It happened again!

Katsuki said nothing. His intense glare only softening as he watched his lover's naked form hold onto him for dear life. He brought a hand over the smaller man's curly hair and ran his fingers through them. He eyed the two pieces of paper in his other hand before shoving them into his pants pocket.

"I was going to surprise you with breakfast in bed," Katsuki said, giving a light chuckle that was almost sweet and very unbecoming of the usually angry man. He eyed the platter of rice and katsudon spilled over the floor, closing his eyes, sighing.

"I'm so so sorry! I did it again!" Izuku cried, clenching his eyes shut.

"Shh, shh! It's alright, you've been getting better," Katsuki said, still running his fingers through Izuku's green locks and using his other hand to massage his back. "Your attacks have been decreasing." The ash blond said lovingly.

"But I could've hurt you!" Izuku continued to cry. He raised his head to look at Katsuki in the eyes. "What if you-if I reacted too slow?"

"It's fine," Katsuki replied. "I can handle it."

"But—"

"Just shut up," Katsuki said with a warm gentle smile, neither sarcastic or cheeky like he would usually make. It was just a warm heart-felt smile. It seemed to calm Izuku down a bit but there were still some worry in the back of his mind.

Then, Katsuki held him by the sides of his face and lightly kissed him on the nose and all worries vanished in that one moment.

Light red started to slowly appear over the freckles of his cheeks before his entire face became a hot beet red.

Izuku just stared down at his lover and everything became quiet, lasting for almost a minute.

Neither said anything for a while. Izuku too embarrassed to say a word. And Katsuki, simply just enjoying everything for the moment until he finally broke the silence:

"You destroyed breakfast so I guess we'll eat out," he later adds with a lecherous smirk, "Even though you should probably get dressed first, I don't mind you in your birthday suit."

A hand slaps Izuku on the butt and he arches his back, making a purring (to Katsuki's amusement) sound, blushing intensified from the touch.

"Kacchan!"

—

"Kacchan..." Izuku looked around the restaurant nervously, ducking his head between his shoulders. This isn't right! He didn't want to be here!

Katsuki briefly lowered the menu in his hand to give him a look. "What's wrong, Deku?" He asks, slightly disinterested in his lover's panicky state. Though, inwardly he was soaking in the view, pleasurably savoring the sight.

A nervously wrecked Deku was delicious!

"Did we really travel half-way across Tokyo just to come to this restaurant?" Izuku asked, meekly. He gives a weary glance at the menu in his hands. The prices were off the charts for the simplest of meals. The breaded pork rice noodles that he had intended on ordering was 4,800 yen for a single bowl!

When he looked up to see Katsuki staring back at him, he looked away and didn't say anything further.

"'Why is he spending so much money on me? Especially just for breakfast? And so far away, too.'" Katsuki said aloud in a bored manner, holding his chin up by a hand with his elbow propped up on the table. "Because I fuckin' want to, okay?"

Also because the farther they were the less likely anyone they knew would interrupt them like the previous day. He hissed a cloud of smoke from the corner of his mouth as he remembered that annoying Ochako girl and her duo idiot friends.

The waitress, a friendly little thing, came up to them soon after to take their orders.

Katsuki ended up ordering their meals for the two of them, getting himself a large bowl of 5 spiced phoenix ramen with extra chilli and habeneros peppers, getting Izuku the breaded pork rice noodles and both of them a glass of lemon soda. He initially wanted some sake but the restaurant (like most really) didn't serve alcohol until sometime after noon.

When the girl had returned with their orders some time later, the two of them had begun to eat in relative silence. With Katsuki chowing down on his noodles like there was no tomorrow. As if it was his last meal.

It made Izuku quirk an eyebrow at him before he went back to his own bowl, taking his time to eat, mostly just poking his chopsticks around the white noodles, stirring them. Katsuki was just being too nice to him. It was too much sometimes... He didn't deserve to be treated like this, especially what happened 15 years ago.

It was still something that has been on his mind even after all of the years he had spent recuperating with Katsuki. The incident earlier with the mirror shiv proved that his life in the V.A. yakuza was still scarred in the back of his mind.

Was there any hope of him ever returning to a normal life?

Had he ever had a normal life before?

The question scared him because he knew the answer...

Once Katsuki was finished eating, he looked up to see Izuku staring out blankly, lost in his thoughts. His bowl of rice noodles and his favorite breaded pork left mostly untouched.

The ashy blond was about to open his mouth to say something but the waitress from before interrupted them.

"Is everything fine?" She asked in a chipper tone. Katsuki could tell that she was eyeing his partner through the corners of her eyes. Her eyes were predatory like every other asshole and bitch out there!

"We're fine!" Katsuki growled from under his breath. Flames bellowing from deep under his throat as he glared at her, sending shivers down her spine.

The poor girl backed away nervously at the sudden aura surrounding the Bakugou man. "I-I'm sorry for interrupting. Ou-just l-let me know if you need anything else." She said in a hurry before scurrying off like the insect she was.

"Bakugou-kun, that was mean~" Izuku was broken out of his thoughts and looked at Katsuki with an admonishing glare.

"Bitch was pissing me off," the blond replied easily, crossing his arms and leaning back into his seat.

Izuku seemed to perk slightly at the words before slouching his shoulders, giving his lover a sideways glance. He really had a bad personality even though he meant well: at least most of the time.

If it weren't for Izuku, then he would probably already have a sweet wife and a child or two. A normal happy family. Normal.

It wasn't hard to imagine, Katsuki Bakugou was a really handsome man.

While he was not extremely tall, he was still taller than most men, making (the already short) Izuku look even smaller by comparison. His skin was a nice porcelain color tinted by a copper tan from working under the heat so much. And the skin tone was made only more obvious as Izuku saw a single strand of sweat dripping down Katsuki's neck that made his breath hitch.

Katsuki's ashen white hair was free unlike when he usually covered it completely during work, allowing it to stick out all over, creating a sort of dirty yet slick look. The blond was one of those rare individuals who hardly washed their hair properly but still somehow managed to have hair like an Adonis sex god.

It was that sexy bed hair or something...

Izuku found himself blushing and he shook his head back and forth to get his dirty thoughts out of the gutter.

Katsuki really was a handsome man...he could do so much more better than him. Yet for 15 years... 15 years Katsuki's been through so much in 15 short years just because of him!

When an image of Kacchan during his early teen years filled his head, Izuku blushed even harder. Many mixed emotions ran through him about what had occurred back then. He hated it! Loved it! Despised it! Cherished it! Was horrified by it!

All of the emotions just exploded and all that was left was a depressing feeling of self-hate. I'm such a dirty slut... he thought horribly to himself. It was the day he betrayed Katsuki, corrupted him and...was also able to confess his disgusting unnatural feelings for him.

He looked back at Katsuki and sighed inwardly, if none of that had happened, if Katsuki had never became his friend. Maybe, just maybe, the blond would have had a normal life. A normal family.

Instead of being dragged down by him and his not 'normal' situation.

"Okay, we're done," Katsuki finally spoke up, causing Izuku to jump up when he realized he was staring at Katsuki more intensely than he had thought. And the other man more than knew that.

"We're done?" Izuku asked fearfully, both happy and sad that maybe Katsuki was finally fed up with him and was finally going to move on...

"Yeah, you don't seem to be very hungry and I'm done eating, so let's go on our date." The ashy blond said nonchalantly with a shrug of his shoulders.

"D-Date? This is a d-d-date?" Izuku blushed for the umpteenth time in that restaurant. He had thought this was just a spur of the moment eating out!

"What? You thought this shit hole was our date?" Katsuki laughed, baring his fangs sinisterly. He pulled out two tickets from his pockets and waved it in front of the small man across from him. "We're going to..."

—

"The aquarium?!" Izuku screamed out loud, jumping up and down. His pupils dilated and he looked like a kid being given candy for the first time.

Katsuki was standing behind him, arms crossed, and head held high. Mentally patting himself on the back just as the young green haired man ran up to him and hugged him.

Around him, the passerby were beginning to stare and he couldn't help but blush, weakly shooting all of them a glare when they made eye contact.

He looked down to see large sea green eyes staring up at him with a pleading look and pushed back the desire to pet Izuku on the head. There were plenty of time to cuddle since they had the whole day to themselves.

"Come on," he started, "Let's go inside."

The moment they stepped inside the building, Izuku had run to the first thing he spotted, drawing Katsuki in tow by the hand.

It was a large glass display showcasing various sea critters but more particularly the manatee, also known as the sea cow.

Izuku let go of him and ran up against the glass to press his face on it, alongside all of the tiny children, staring at one of the creatures who quickly took notice of him. The creature floated gently down to look at him, making a motion with its mouth as if to roar but they couldn't hear it from their side.

It was holding a ball of cabbage in its flubbery fin arms to its chest and was taking bites of it, occasionally looking at Izuku and the children.

Bubbles streamed from its flabby lips and the children and Izuku cheered.

"That's so kewl, isn't it, nii-chan?" A young boy said, looking up at Izuku with sparkling eyes.

"I know, right?!" The young man replied back, his eyes matching the boy's.

"That's so adorable bringing your little brother to the aquarium," a middle-aged woman said from beside Katsuki. He mostly grunted and gave her a brief glare of acknowledgment before staring back at Izuku.

The manatee finally stopped eating, throwing the leftover cabbage away before it swam back and forth in front of the glass. Watching the kids and Izuku with interest.

He didn't know why some people just liked to stare at stupid animals. What was so fun about that? But at least it made Izuku happy.

"Hey, Kacchan, doesn't it remind you of All Might?!" Izuku called out to Katsuki cheerfully, turning around and pointing a finger at the glass behind him. Orange eyes trailed up the finger, falling over the manatee, taking note of its flabby skin. He raises a brow when he notices that its eyes were almost completely covered by the flab, giving off a hollow eye-less look with its tiny pupils barely showing through. There were even a couple of flabby skin that trailed down the sides of its face, like long bangs!

It really did look like the old bastard!

Katsuki frowned at the thought. He gave it a cold stare, gasping a bit when he thought he saw it mouth 'Detroit Smash' while pumping one of its flippers over its head in triumph. In the background, all of the kids mimicked the expression, each one cheering loudly as they did so.

The strange image made him slap himself in the face.

He growled before rushing towards Izuku, grabbing the younger boy by the arm while he was in the midst of cheering with the kids.

"I wasn't done watching!" Izuku whined, waving goodbye to some of the children as they were calling out to him. "Bye, onii-chan!" They yelled.

"If we keep staring at that fugly sea cow, we'll end up wasting the entire day." Katsuki reasoned. Although, deep down he knew it was mostly because of Izuku's 'hero'.

All Might... that bastard! Even now he's still trying to take Deku away from me!

After dragging Izuku for a bit, they had ended up at one of those open animal petting places. It was a smaller one where some kids were learning about crabs and other crustaceans at a miniature artificial beach.

Izuku let go of his hands and rushed over towards the petting zoo with stars in his eyes.

While there, something had caught his attention and he turned around to wave at Katsuki. "Hey, Kacchan! Look at this!" He beckoned before picking it up.

When Katsuki came over, Izuku held out a tiny hermit crab towards him in his hands. The look in his eyes just screamed 'Happiness!' like he had found the most precious gem in the world.

"It looks just like you!" Izuku commented, making Katsuki almost trip over himself. "First the manatee and now a cute adorable Kacchan crab!"

He glared at the crab offended, only to find out that the crab was doing the same. Both of them were staring each other down. He could almost read the crab's mind as if it was jealous that it was being compared to him, as if he was the lowly thing! He bared his fangs at the crustacean and (shockingly) it returned the favor with tiny raised claws snapping in the air, threatening to cut him.

Izuku laughed as he was watching it all with mirth in his eyes but quickly stopped when he noticed someone coming up from behind the angry blond.

The person laid their hand gently over Katsuki's shoulder and he forced himself to break away from the crab's annoying stare only to find a young man a few inches shorter than him with a crow's head.

"Tokoyami?" Katsuki scoffed. "What the fuck are you doing here?"

"Nice to meet you, too, Bakugou-kun." The bird man said, shrugging off the angry glare that was sent his way. He gestured behind him to reveal a dozen tiny rugrats, wearing their school uniforms. "These are my students. Kids, say hello to Bakugou-san and Midoriya-san."

"Kowichiwaa~ Baku-sam, Midowi-sam!" The kids said in a chorus.

"Please don't say any foul languages around the kids," Tokoyami added, giving a negative nod towards Katsuki who's face flushed in anger at his action.

"Awe they your fwiends, Toko-senswei?" A trio of kids ran up to the bird man and pulled at his pants. One of the boys ducked his safety hat over his eyes when he caught Izuku looking his way, blushing.

"Why, yes," Tokoyami smiled gingerly, squatting down to meet his children's gaze. "They're very important anikis of mine." He said with lidded eyes.

"Pfft, you're one to talk! Trying to coerce them into the yakuza?" Katsuki crossed his arms and turned his head.

"Well, as long as they join our gang, it shouldn't be any trouble." Tokoyami replied seriously. "Although, as a teacher, I would rather they refrain from any unsavory activities."

"I agree," Katsuki mumbled as he eyed Izuku being jumped by the three, almost falling to the ground. Soon after, the other kids started to hound the green haired man and one even bothered Katsuki, only shaking from his glare but not letting go of his hand. "Sweet kids," he mumbled.

"It almost reminds me of our time in the yakuza," Tokoyami sighed, almost longingly.

"Don't even think about recruiting Izuku back into that hellhole!" Katsuki yelled quietly, shooting him a look. "You guys may have decided to keep doing that trash in the slums of the streets but you better keep him out of it!"

Tokoyami looked at Katsuki with widened eyes, slightly alarmed. He raised his hands up in surrender, shaking his head.

"I have no intentions of doing such things," the crow said. "Neither do the others," he added. "It's just, Midoriya-kun has never explicitly stated that he had quit, has he? I feel that he still feels like he has an obligation to All Might-sama and is confused about whether he wants to lead the gang or not."

Katsuki said nothing, he just bared his fangs at Tokoyami.

"I am not here to start a fight, I too, believe that Midoriya-kun is better off with you. We all want him to be happier, especially me." He sweat dropped when he saw the look Katsuki was giving him, his jealousy really knew no bounds. He forcibly continued, "He's been through a lot. Even All Might-sama would understand and support his decision if he were still here."

Katsuki shook his head. He glanced over from where he stood, watching Izuku get overwhelmed by the children, easily camouflaging amongst them. Tears of joy falling from his eyes. "You better." Katsuki finally said once his rage subsided. "I don't want him to deal with that crap anymore."

"What about how his parents—" Tokoyami stopped to bite his tongue but it was too late.

If looks could kill (and some Quirks could do just that) he was already dead yesterday.

"What about his parents?" Katsuki growled, the air around him turning dark and a shadow falling over his eyes.

The two of them said nothing else to each other.

—

"Look, look! Onii-cham!" One of the boys said while tugging at the sleeves of Izuku's shirt, pointing at something to his left. Two girls were on his other side, tugging at his sleeves trying to pull him into the gift shop in the other direction. And a few more kids were hugging his legs, wanting him to stay or go somewhere else.

The kids had quickly grown accustomed to the young Midoriya and even started referring to him as big brother, pulling him everywhere they went. All of them trying to wrestle him out of the others' attentions.

It quickly grew into a game of sorts of tug of war, with Izuku in the middle. He tried to calm the children down but to no avail. He felt someone watching and looked up to see Katsuki glaring at him from across the hall. He mouthed a silent 'Sorry' and nodded at the kids below him. He chuckled when the older boy rolled his eyes and shook his head as he was dragged away.

"Rambunctious bunch, aren't they?" Tokoyami laughed from beside him, elbowing him playfully.

"Yeah," Katsuki growled under his breath.

They were more like cockblockers!

"Hmm, ever thought of having kids?"

"Hwah—What?!"

"Midoriya-kun seems to adore kids, I think he wants to have children."

"But he can't get pregnant!"

There was a long pause between the two of them. Both had wide eyes (each for their own reason). But Tokoyami was the one to break the long silence when he had begun choking on his own spit. And after a few uncomfortable fits, he burst out laughing. Pregnant?! He was uncontrollably laughing at the idea. A look very unbecoming of the usually cool crow-headed man now filled his lips.

He bent over with one arm under his chest, using the other to support himself over his knee in an effort to slow down the ripples channeling through his chest but to no avail.

It continued for a few more minutes that seemed to go on endlessly and Katsuki wasn't the least bit amused. Embarrassment filled his eyes and he had a small scorn on his lips.

"Are you serious?" Tokoyami asked, wiping a tear from his eye. He sighed as he shook his head, finally letting the last bit of giggles leave his body. "That's not what I meant. I meant, have you two ever thought of adoption or something similar?"

"Something like that..." He muttered, turning away.

"That's great that you're thinking about it!" Tokoyami's eyes began to light up.

"Yeah, yeah," Katsuki said, rolling his eyes at the other. "It looks like you love kids, too." He countered, "Why don't you marry them, then?"

Tokoyami laughs to himself, shrugging off the offensive innuendo and says, "Being a substitute teacher does has its perks." A somber look breaks over his lips. "It's like having the family I don't have—" He said but then Katsuki punches him in the shoulders.

"You asshole, you already have a family," the ashen blond growled, shaking his fist.

Tokoyami freezes. His mouth hung open for a bit and he stares at the older man questioningly. When he realized what the other man had implied he smacked himself in the forehead. "You're right, how could I forget?" He chuckles, looking back at the kids. "One for All is as much my family as these kids are!"

It was no wonder Izuku loved the rough man so dearly.

Speaking of...

The sweet cries of children's laughter catches the two's attention and they look over to see the little tykes wrestle the larger Izuku to the ground, dog-piling him as they screamed.

A twinkle fills Tokoyami's eyes and he smiled, "...but there's nothing wrong in wanting to let your family grow bigger and bigger."

Katsuki just rolled his eyes at the comment before raising a hand over his mouth, "You're gonna make me hurl." He said in feint nausea.

"I'm glad to see life with Izuku-nii hasn't lessened your sense of humor," Tokoyami chuckles.

"As long as you don't bring Deku into your 'family matters', I don't care what you do with your life," Katsuki said.

Moments later, the kids came rushing back towards the two of them, dragging Izuku in tow. They were all hopping up and down in an excited fury. Katsuki raised a brow at the young green-haired man who was as equally jumpy.

"Senswei! Senswei!" The children roared in a chorus. "We wunna go two tah shrouw!"

"Yeah, Kacchan! They're having a show outside soon, we should totally go see it! There's going to be dolphins and sea lions and killer whales and sea otters and..." He rushed up to Katsuki, running his mouth a mile a minute. Big puppy dog eyes were staring up at the blond, pathetically.

Katsuki replies with a shrug of his shoulders. He was planning on taking Izuku to the show later anyway...

"With the kids!"

"Yush, we wunna sib wiff onwii-cham!"

"...What?!"

—

"Yay!" The loud squeaky voices of the children around him caused Katsuki to shove his palms over his ears.

"Yay..." he mutters unenthusiastically from beside Izuku who elbowed him playfully in return.

"Kacchan, don't let them get to you, they're just kids."

"They're cockblockers is what they are..." Katsuki growls silently, shoving his face into his shoulders.

"What did you say?" Izuku asked curiously but the other man just mumbled back, refusing to clarify. He smiled tenderly at Katsuki before turning to face Tokoyami to his left, "So, Tokoyami, I didn't know you were a teacher! It was such a surprise, really, meeting you here and all."

"No, no, not at all," the bird man said humbly. "I am just a mere volunteer worker, a substitute teacher, really."

"These kids really seem close to you, how long have you been teaching them?"

"A few months now. Their current teacher is on maternity leave," he explained. "At first they were just hiring subs for a few weeks each but they liked me for some reason so they gave me an extension." A small red blush appeared on his cheeks as he piteously scratched his feathered chin with his index finger. He looked anxiously away from Izuku.

"Wow, it sounds like you might actually become a full-time teacher, Tokoyami!" Izuku laughed, patting his friend on his shoulder. "You could totally do it man!"

"More like do it into the grave..." Katsuki grumbled, crossing his arms. He looked around at all of the kids scattered in the seats, "How the heck do you even pay attention to all of them? You're letting them run more wild than free roaming chickens at a farm for the slaughter!" The blond stuck a thumb out, gesturing towards the kids around them.

"Surprisingly, my Quirk works pretty well with the kids, Shadow is always watching them." Tokoyami replied, pointing up at a shadowy version of himself that was flying back and forth, from one kid to the other. Shadow flew down in front of them just as he said it, giving a salute and "All clear, boss" before returning back to his duties.

"Sounds like some kind of child stalker..."

"Wawt's a stawker?" One of the little girls next to him turned and asked. She was holding a large lollipop in her small hands.

"Ugh...I'mma go buy something," Katsuki said, getting up. "You guys need anything? Or the brats?" He asked.

"No, we're good," Tokoyami said. "The kids had already eaten, no need to worry about them."

Izuku was about to say "No, thanks" but then an idea popped into his head as his mouth hung open for a moment. "Hey, Kacchan, can I get that one chilli dog I like? You know...the one?" The green-haired man asked, almost innocently but there was a nervous grin on his lips. A small pink tint was covering his lightly tanned freckled cheeks.

"What one?" Katsuki paused, confused as he turned to look at him. He hadn't known that Izuku had liked hot dogs, let alone had a favorite flavor.

"You know, the one." Izuku replied, looking around rapidly, his gaze refusing to look Katsuki's way.

"The one with the relish?" Katsuki asked, slightly getting annoyed as he approached the younger man. Just say it! He couldn't read Deku's mind!

"No!" Izuku said, now growing redder. He couldn't believe he was doing this. Why was he still going with it? He was never the type to initiate! He leaned towards Katsuki and waved him over to come closer. "You know...the one," he whispered. He said it so quietly that it was hard for the blond to hear him, despite now standing right in front of him.

Katsuki growled before leaning down, "Okay, what is it?" He asked, turning his ear in Izuku's direction. It was almost as if he was too afraid to say the words or something, it wasn't like he was asking him to buy a dildo or something! That Deku always made everything difficult sometimes, why did he always have to dance around subjects like an antsy girl? But whatever—

Then, Izuku jumped up, quickly placing a light peck on the taller man's cheeks before shrinking back into his seat. He was staring into his lap, refusing to look back up at the other. A huge blush spreading across from up his neck and all the way to his ears.

"Well, that was embarrassing," Tokoyami replied, offhandedly. He moved his hand over his eyes as if to cover a non-existent hat over them.

"Shut up!" Katsuki said, then he bluntly turned to look back at Izuku in all seriousness. "So what did you want?"

Izuku looked at Katsuki with a blank stare and a small frown. "Just go, Bakugou," he said.

Geez, what's up with him? Katsuki thought with a scoff before he left.

"Yous mush reawwy love yours dawdy, huh, onii-cham?" He heard a few of the kids around them ask as he left. "Um, I guess..." was the gloomy reply from Izuku.

I should get him something to cheer him up... What did I even do wrong?! Katsuki growled, scratching the back of his head furiously.

—

"What would you like?" A cheery girl's voice asked.

Katsuki Bakugou stared out pass the cash register with an unamused gaze. His mouth was hanging open slightly.

"The fuck?" He muttered under his breath. This was bad service! Where the hell was the server?

"Your order, sir?" The same voice asked, sounding slightly confused.

Well, she shouldn't be the one confused! Katsuki was looking around for the damn girl but there was nothing in sight except for a random uniform just hanging there, drying from behind the cash register. Who the fuck hangs their clothes out to dry at their workplace?

"Sir?" The girl asked again and he slammed his fist on the counter.

"Where the fuck's your manager? I am not amused with this little prank. Show yourself!" He yelled out and he could've sworn he saw the clothes jump back a bit as if they were alive.

"Um, sir, I'm right in front of you." The girl said.

"The fuck?" Katsuki found himself saying for the millionth time.

"I'm so sorry, my Quirk is Invisibility," the girl explained, the left shoulder of the uniform rose up as if the person was trying to wave at him.

He raised a brow suspiciously at the girl.

"Okay...well I want..."

—

5 minutes later, he received his platter of American-style hamburger and fries. "Here you go, sir, thanks for waiting!" He quickly went over to the napkin dispenser, wanting to get the sauces and everything else and leave as soon as possible. He still needed to get something for Izuku lest he ends up on the couch tonight.

Then—

"Aniki?!"

The young man nearly dropped his food from the annoying screaming from behind him. The very familiar and annoying screaming.

He decided that this wasn't the time nor the place, and he was in an especially bad mood with everything that's been happening. He didn't need to add more to his mental plate. He looked on ahead, refusing to turn around but before he could take a step, the voice stopped him.

"Is that you, Aniki? Omigod! It really is you!" A spiky redhead appeared behind him, placing a hand over his shoulder.

"Oh, hey, Bakugou-sama! What brings you here?" Another familiar person appeared beside Eijirou. He stopped to glare at his friend, "Dude, you know he doesn't like being called Aniki!"

"The hell he doesn't! We're bros!" Eijirou frowned and bumped his forehead into Denki's.

"You ass, you're going to get on his nerves!"

"Well, what are you going to do 'bout it then, buzz-freak?"

"Rock for brains!"

"Vibrator charger!"

"Boulder dick!"

Several ticks appeared on Katsuki's face as his patience was wearing thin. He tried to drown out the fighting behind him. The entrance to the show was only a few feet away.

"Bastard!"

Just a few more seconds. He's almost there...

"You jerk!"

Then, there was a loud smack of a fist ramming into someone's cheek from behind him. It quickly turned into a dust cloud of yelling, kicking, and screaming.

"Fuck me..." He sighed before turning around, not wanting to deal with this. "The fuck do you guys want?" He had to physically force himself from yelling the words at the top of his lungs. The two had frozen mid-fight with both holding each other's hair in a fist and tugging at each other's shirt with their other fist.

He mentally cursed himself as everyone around them had stopped to stare. Katsuki sent them all death glares and sent most of the passerby running off in terror.

Eijirou was the first one to get up, patting dust off of his suit's pants with Denki joining soon after.

"I didn't know you were here, aniki!" He said, quickly forgetting the few moments earlier. He smiled from ear to ear with his fangs showing from under his lips. There were bruises and bite marks all over his face and neck yet he didn't seem the least perturbed.

Denki glared at the redhead from behind with crossed arms, rolling his eyes at the obvious display of affection. Eijirou continued, "Are you here, alone? No—That's impossible! Midoriya-aniki is here, too, right?" The rocky-skin Quirk man asked but then quickly answered his own question.

Another angry tick appeared on Katsuki's face. "Yeah, I'm here with the Deku, what does it matter?" He said.

"Oh, nothing. I just figured you wouldn't go anywhere, especially a fun place like this, unless Midoriya-aniki had dragged you here." Eijirou said nonchalantly, rubbing the back of his spiky head with a hand. Katsuki's eyes twitched at the offhand insult. Even if Eijirou hadn't meant to make such an offending remark, he was that special type of stupid that made it difficult to forgive.

Denki, being the (slightly) smarter of the two, came up beside his friend and gave him an elbow to the chest. "You ass, are you trying to make Bakugou-sama angry? You're making him sound like he's Midoriya-aniki's bitch."

Another angry tick appeared on him. His fingers were twitching and he was trying to push down the urge to 'accidentally' drop the food in his hand and 'accidentally' pummel these two assholes into a pitiful hole! But he wasn't going to waste food just to kill these guys! They weren't worth it.

"Of course I'm not trying to say that." Eijirou laughed brashly, smacking his electric-Quirk friend in the back of his shoulders. "Bakugou-aniki is too manly for that right?" He looked at Katsuki and grunted at him for confirmation. "There's no way you'd be the bottom! Midoriya-aniki is definitely uke material! Only someone feminine and sweet like Midoriya-aniki would take it!"

Did he just call Izuku a bottom bitch?!

Katsuki felt another tick in the back of his head and he felt like his face was riddled with nothing but pulsating nerves now. His veins popping visibly on both of his wrists and around his neck.

"FYI, Deku has a huge cock!" Katsuki surprised himself as he stated loudly but in an abnormally calm tone. He fumed slightly in pride, wanting to defend Izuku's masculinity.

"Um, okay?" The two of the thug-looking men said awkwardly, turning to look at each other. Each shooting each other an uncomfortable stare.

"Well, anyway, are you watching the aquatic animal show, too?" Eijirou asked, quickly changing the subject.

"I heard the whale Shampoo is white and can sparkle!" Denki added.

"No, his name's Soap! And he doesn't sparkle, he shoots rainbows from out of his blowhole," Eijirou growled and elbowed the blond.

"No, his name's Shampoo! And you shoot crap out of your blowhole!"

Both of them began to growl at the other, baring their teeth and shoving each other back and forth. Denki's whole body started to spark with electricity, causing his clothing to frizz and cling to his skin, his hair rising. While Eijirou's entire body was literally becoming rock hard along with his hair and fangs.

They were staring each other down, leaning forward with their hands raised, getting ready to pounce.

Katsuki decided that he had enough of these two idiots and carefully balanced his tray on his left hand before punching the both of them with one swift charged blow from his right. Both young men were sent flying, crashing into a nearby wall, before sliding down into a full trashcan. Knocking all of its contents out all over them as they laid there in an unconscious daze.

"Assholes." He growled before going back up the stadium entrance.

—

"Hey, Katsuki!"

When the blond got back to his seat he felt multiple ticks rise up on his body. His brow was quivering as he threatened to scream bloody murder at everyone around him, screw if the kids heard him! It wasn't like they would be kids forever anyway! So fuck them, too!

"Hell...o, Mineta...!" He gritted through his teeth and forced down the urge to pick up his tray over the midget's sticky ball head and slam it down repeatedly until there was nothing but a purple bloodstain left.

Why is he in my seat?! Just then, the crowd around them 'Ooooh'ed before there was a big splash and all of them got wet. Now my food's wet, too?! God dammit! ARRGGHHHH!

"Ouch! That sucks," Mineta said, wincing. "Oh well," he says before grabbing a handful of Katsuki's fries and shoved them into his mouth. "Theef werf thrill thry af weaf." He mumbled with a full mouth.

Katsuki's pupils turned to skulls which proceeded to explode into nukes. His entire body was consumed by flames.

Truly, it was a sight to behold and anyone would cower under his rage. Or at least anyone normal. And Mineta was not by any means what one would consider 'normal'.

"Cool, your Quirk is so nifty and versatile, like always," Mineta commented before grabbing the now-dry burger. Taking huge mouthfuls, he was chewing loudly, while messily licking at his fingers. Crumbs from the hamburger were shooting from out of his mouth and flying everywhere, a few of them hitting Katsuki in the face.

Watching the tiny man eat, Katsuki quickly lost his appetite and just shoved the rest of the food into Mineta's lap. Fuck this shitty string of bad luck!

He turned to see Izuku mouthed an 'I'm sorry' to him and Katsuki shook his head. It wasn't worth the trouble anymore. He just gave his lover a disappointed sigh. It wasn't like it was Izuku's fault.

As if the idiot duo weren't enough of a headache! If the grape midget and the two dumb fucks were here, the rest of them were probably not too far away, either, unfortunately.

Why was killing people you didn't like considered murder anyway? Who the fuck came up with that rule? The world would be a better place if he could just kill everyone!

He just wanted to spend some alone time with his boyfriend! Is that so much to ask for?!

"Here, Kacchan, you can take my seat," Izuku interrupted his thoughts, already halfway of getting out of his seat. He patted the spot lightly from where he hovered. "I'll just sit over there," Izuku nodded over at an empty seat near the kids who seemed to have been watching the events unfold, stars had filled their eyes when they heard the words leave Izuku's mouth.

He sneered at the idea of Izuku being stolen from him by mere children just because of that stupid grape bastard but then an idea hit him. He could make something good out of all these strings of bad luck! As the green-haired boy was brushing past him, he quickly grabbed Izuku by the arm and pulled him down. Making his butt fall right into Katsuki's lap just as he sat down. A shrill gasp left Izuku's throat as he realized what had just happened.

His mouth was a quivering thin line as Izuku sat there frozen, shrinking with every second. His freckled face quickly flushing red when his brain caught up with the rest of his body and steam shot out of his ears.

"K-Kacchan!" He moaned in mild complaint.

"You're wet," Katsuki frowned, ignoring his comment. The sticky sensation of wet clothes and wet skin was usually a turn on for him but right now it was more uncomfortable than anything else. He leaned over Izuku's shoulders and gave him a short nibble with his fangs in the nook of his shoulders.

Izuku's face somehow managed to turn even redder and he ducked his eyes under his curly hair. His body getting hotter from the embarrassment he was feeling. It took him a moment to realize that he wasn't just heating up on the inside but also on the outside from the subtle hisss of the water evaporating on his skin.

He looked back with a flushed face to see Katsuki's sharp eyes staring back into him, a small smirk hidden under his lips.

"There," the blond said from under him, hovering his lips over Izuku's but quickly backing away when the other tried to fill the gap, making Izuku whine and hide his face in his hands. Katsuki laughed at the green-haired boy's reactions.

"Eef sro sweez tha' yawr dad if nice two you, onii-cham!" One of the kids said next to him, with a toothy grin that revealed a missing tooth in his upper mouth.

"T-Thanks," Izuku blushed at the innocence of the child's words. Their foreplay was anything but familial love. Katsuki on the other hand frowned at the comment. Not only was he peeved at being mistaken as Izuku's father but he just remembered that because of the idiot duo, he had forgotten to get Izuku something.

This day just keeps getting worse and worse...

A bell rung, causing everyone to turn their gaze back at the water show to see a few animal trainers getting up on the island stage.

With a loud splash, a large walrus jumped out from the pool, landing between the small group. It was easily the size of a small elephant, towering over each trainer. It looked around at the audience cockily before it started to shrink, becoming the size of a small house cat.

A few of the audience members, especially the many children, 'Awww-ed' and 'Ooooh-ed' at the sudden change in appearance.

One of the trainers threw the now-tiny walrus a large mackerel that was several times its size and it gulped down the fish easily in one go despite its miniature size.

The trainers raised their hands and gave the walrus a few hand signals. The walrus made a loud yapping sound before doing a triple back flip high into the air, transforming back to its original size as it landed into the pool and creating a massive splash that rained all over the audience.

The crowd swallowed it and cheered loudly, some of them jumping up in their seats while others were clapping.

The trainers whistled at him before emptying the rest of the bucket high over the pool. The walrus, who turned back into his smaller stature, jumped into the air and dived repeatedly, eating all of the fish before they had a chance to hit the water. When he had eaten the last of the fish, the crowd was thrown into an uproar as they clapped and cheered. He made an annoying bark that almost sounded like 'Worship me, plebes!' while circling around the pool on his back.

The crowd were laughing at the walrus' silly display before the trainers retired him back to his pen.

"Pfft," Mineta scoffed loudly, elbowing both Katsuki and Izuku in their shoulders. "Lame, amirite guys? Only kids would enjoy something like that. I mean that walrus couldn't even throw balls as sticky as I do!"

Katsuki rolled his eyes, choosing to ignore the obvious attention-seeking purple midget.

Izuku, on the other hand, was too much of a saint or just too blind to see Mineta's stupidity and did the one thing he wasn't supposed to do and responded to the attention seeker.

"But you gotta admit, Mineta-kun, it's still a pretty impressive Quirk to watch. I remember hearing something about most animals who have Quirks being weaker than their human counterparts, probably because they evolved to have natural defenses and weapons while we just have our brains." There was a glint in Izuku's eyes and Katsuki could already tell that his partner was going into his Quirk-nerd mode.

"Don't forget our dicks," Mineta said and Katsuki visibly groaned. "Scientists say that humans evolved to have bigger dicks than any other animals."

"I guess..?" Izuku scratched at his chin with an index finger and chuckled lowly, backing into Katsuki's chest who's eyes suddenly lit at the sudden weight pressing down into him. He unconsciously wrapped his arms over Izuku's shoulders.

"Case in point!" Mineta sneered, a lecherous grin plastered over his lips from ear to ear.

"Mineta-kun!" Izuku hissed in a quiet whisper. When the purple midget opened his mouth to add something else, he found Katsuki's fist flying into his face, caving it in.

Mineta raised a finger as if he was about to say something but then sat back into his seat and looked back at the stage, face still pounded in. He was later set on fire seconds later. No one, not even Mineta himself, reacted to the sudden combustion and went back to watching the show.

As the show went on, more and more of the other gang members had started to show. All of them sitting here and there, scattered amongst each other but close enough to Katsuki and co.

Many of them were commenting on the various animals and their different Quirks.

Denki was really loving the swarm of lobsters that could turn their shells into rock and Eijirou was really into the giant eel that could shoot lightning out of its body, ironic with all things considered. Mezou was enthralled by a cuttlefish that had the ability to split itself and multiply, the normally soft-spoken giant being absolutely speechless during it all. Each of them were all enjoying certain aspects of the show, marveling at every little thing that was happening. Even Mineta stopped being an ass and just enjoyed the show like a normal person, almost looking like the small children he sat with although the huge bushy mustache gave his age away. Halfway through the show, Izuku and Katsuki were lost amongst themselves, ignoring the chatter of their friends around them, just reclining back into their own world, separate from the rest.

The two of them snuggled into each other, with Katsuki only taking small enough notice to the water splashing them from the outside world so he could quickly dry the both of them off.

Overall everyone and the kids all enjoyed themselves.

Despite the few setbacks, Katsuki was able to admit that it was kind of fun to hang out with the old gang and the kids. Not that he would ever admit it out loud. It might even have been funner than just the two of them hanging out alone, though, being with the Deku has always made any situation ten times better.

When it was all over, the two of them waved their companions goodbye, each saying their farewells, although the gang's comments of coming to visit the shop more often was a bit disconcerting to the ashen blond male.

Now it was just the two of them and Tokoyami and his children.

Two boys and three girls were all holding Izuku by the hand with the rest of the children crowding around them.

"We are gioing to misf you Izu-nii!" The children started, tightening their hold on the green-haired boy's hand. One of them lifted his hand up to their face and used it to wipe his boogers and tears from his face. "I dun wan you to goes!" He cried.

Izuku chuckled weakly at the action but didn't pull his hand out of their tiny grips.

"Pwease visit us und senswei at scwool when you cans!" They pleaded.

Izuku made a certain face but smiled at them, "Sure," he replied with a light laugh. "Whenever I can, I'll be sure to find some time in my schedule to visit you guys!"

Tokoyami came up and placed a hand over his shoulder, nodding at him and the children with a small grin.

"Thanks for helping me take care of my kids," the crow-headed man said. "You really are good with children." He then leaned over Izuku's ears and whispered, "I'm sure you'll make a great father, don't doubt yourself."

Katsuki stood there where he was with his arms crossed, raising a brow at how close Tokoyami and Izuku were but suppressed his jealousy. He was never fond of people whispering into each others ears. Even more so when Izuku was involved.

"Bye Izu-nii! Bye Izu-nii's daddy!" The kids all yelled loudly, waving their arms madly as Tokoyami and his shadow guided them back in the direction of the school bus to take them home.

"What's wrong?" Izuku asked, half-jogging next to Katsuki.

"Oh, it's nothing." Katsuki sighed, "Just tired after all of that."

"Hey..." Izuku slowed his pace to a stop, forcing Katsuki to do the same.

"Yes?"

"Well..." Izuku looked down at his feet and the blond got closer to him, Katsuki leaning over him a bit but his eyes shot wide when he felt Izuku jump up and their lips collided. "Thank you for everything, Kacchan." The younger man said before smiling brightly. Before Katsuki could say anything, he raced on ahead, leaving Katsuki speechless.

Thank you for everything...

The words had mixed feelings in them but while he couldn't decipher what all of those emotions were, he knew the one that mattered: love.

He chased after his childhood friend, finally coming to a halt after a long winded run. He saw the back of Izuku's head in the distance, reaching a hand out towards him, huffing and puffing.

"There you are you little bastard—"

"Kacchan!" Izuku said worriedly, turning to look at him and holding onto his hand.

"Hello, Katsuki-kun, Midoriya-kun! It's been ages since we've last seen each other." A familiar voice broke around them. Katsuki could feel Izuku tense up. He looked over at the entrance to their home to see an older man with short dark hair. The other man was wearing a large brown trench coat and a matching trilby hat.

The man just kept smiling at them.

"Good to see you too...Naomasa Tsukauchi," Katsuki said slowly, a bit angry at seeing the man appearing at their doorstep.

"Now, now, is that something you would say to a friend, Katsuki-kun?" The man continued smiling.

"Umm, Tsukauchi-san, what...are you doing here, if I may pry?" Izuku asked, nervously looking up at him.

The older man began reaching into the inside of his jacket to pull something out. "I'm sorry, Midoriya-kun, but I'm here on business and it's a bit private. I'll need to speak to Katsuki-kun alone, if you don't mind." He said, holding his police badge out.

Izuku bit his lower lips and hesitated, not sure of what to say. He looked back at his lover only to see a neutral expression plastered to his face.

"Kacchan...?"

"Go inside, Izuku. I'll deal with it."

"Don't worry, it's nothing bad, I can assure you," Naomasa said, still smiling but it didn't help diminish his worry in the least.

When Izuku opened the door and disappeared into the tea shop, the air around the two men got a bit thicker.

"Here it is," Naomasa said, handing Katsuki a few big stacks of paper.

"Is this—?" Katsuki started.

"Yeah, it is."

"Hmm...thanks, Tsukauchi-san," he said though his voice and face still seemed to be neutral.

"No problem, I just wonder how Midoriya-kun will react when he finds out what you've been doing. And please, call me Naomasa, I think we've known each other long enough."

"Whatever, just fuck off," Katsuki waved him off dismissively before following after Izuku's trail.

Naomasa just smirked at the ashen blond man, pulling out a cigarette and lighting it.

"Still the same kid I remember...always such a troublesome guy..." He threw the cigarette into his mouth before walking away, disappearing into the night shadows.

OMAKE

Ochako was laughing with her two friends when something had caught her eyes.

There in the distance among the crowd, she caught the familiar ashen blond spikes of Katsuki Bakugou's hair. He was checking out some food at the cafeteria.

"Is that Kacchan?" She asks out loud.

"Huh? No way!" Mina pushed past her and jumped up to try to get a better look at the man. "It's hard to tell from this distance!"

"Are you sure it's him? This is 20 miles from the tea shop." Tsuyu pointed out with a raised hand.

"Tsuyu-chan's got a point!"

"But—"

"Do you see any hot green-haired boys around with cute freckles on his cheeks?"

Ochako turned around to look again, squinting, "No..." she replied when she saw no one remotely close to that description.

"Then, it's final, it's not Bakugou-kun! I doubt he'd ever show up in a family fun place like this unless Midoriya-kun dragged his ass here!" Mina grabbed her friend's hand and dragged her through the crowds so they could get to the souvenir section. "C'mon! I wanna buy a Shampoo doll!"

Ochako tried to get a peek at the blond man again but someone's head blocked her vision. She shook her head. Mina and Tsuyu were right. Katsuki would rather die than come to a huge place surrounded by happy families.

A/N: Hey, how's it going? I just wanted to say thanks to all of you for reading this story! Honestly, when I first wrote this it was on a whim and I didn't expect anymore than 10 people to read it, considering just how small the fandom is...so I'm really really happy and surprised for that. I really do appreciate it. But most of all, I'm really happy that BnHA has so many fans, I was afraid that it'd be a darkhorse series or something. Though I wish more people were writing stories for it. On the plus side, there's an RP forum going on for BnHA if your interested started by CHUCKMOEKING217.

So this chapter was dipping into the darker side of the story, I hope the hints weren't too heavy handed, but I didn't want them to be too obscure either. I also hope it was cute enough for your tastes! Originally, this story was going to start out with them joining the Yakuza not after but there were too many grim things going on and I felt it worked better as a flashback. Trust me, the backstory is pretty messed up. The real question though is how Izuku and Katsuki are involved!

While that may be the case, I want to say what I really wanted to say in this Author's Note, and I didn't want to put it at the top because it'd be too depressing. Anyways to get to the point, I have BAD NEWS and more bad news.

This might be my LAST update ever. I was actually pretty finish with this chapter for a while now but I was editing it like mad, bingeing the whole chapter in many days plus one weekend morning for 9 hours because of you guys. I figured, if this is going to be my last chapter, I might as well make it as close to perfect as possible. The more I edited it the more I worried the story sucked but I kept at it, I was even threatening to not even upload this chapter and just quit, but here it is.

So I hope you like it...

So why is this my last chapter? Well...I've been suffering from a heavy case of depression (a long time actually) and the people I call family are...MAKING THINGS WORSE for me... I don't know how much I can take and it's making it harder for me to find anything good about anything. Geez, that makes it sound like I'll kill myself or something...no worries, I'll just quit writing FOREVER is all.

Anyways, if there's any writers out there who might want to write a story for this fandom here's a few prompts I've been working on:

1: Shouto is a prince who's engaged in an arranged marriage with All Might's daughter but instead he finds himself gravitating towards the meek prince, Izuku. A Shouto/Izuku story in which Shouto fights against his father's plan for conquest, for love instead.

2: Katsuki Bakugou is a famous celebrity who can act and sing but has a nasty personality. One day he's disgusted to find Izuku, a pathetic errand boy, thrown into his company. Obviously, Katsuki/Izuku

3: Shouto is the son of a powerful being known as a Titan whom wanders the human world to discover where his destiny lies. He meets up with a strange boy, Katsuki, who also has similar powers, but he's more interested in the boy who follows the brash Titan, Izuku. Izuku/Shouto

4: Shouto is a Fallen Angel who betrayed God, stealing something from him. Shouto/Izuku

You don't HAVE to do the pairings, I just listed them so you'd know what I was planning.

Well, goodbye and thanks again, and hopefully we'll meet again.
