xXxOtAkU-444xXx: thanks for your review, my friend. So glad you enjoy it!
Aizawa's POV
Three days and no words had arrived on his soulmate. Shouta had been in class when Hizashi burst in rambling about a villain attack. It took him precious seconds to decipher what his friend was trying to say.
There had been a villain attack at a shopping center and the building collapsed. The very same shopping center that Izuku wanted to go to. The child wanted to get him a Christmas present despite Shouta's assurances that he didnt need anything.
Panic raced through his veins as he dismissed his class. They raced out of the room knowing better than to question his orders. It had not taken them long to find out that almost every civilian was accounted for.
Reports had it that the civilians were led out one by one by a large black dog. Shouta knew exactly who that was. The only differing report was the first group to be led out. They were led out by a child who matched Izuku's description. Every report had him disappearing back into the shopping center minutes before it collapsed.
Rescue teams had gone through the wreckage looking for survivors. So far nothing had been found. After it had all been cleared away and no bodies were discovered a search team was organized. Izuku was not a hero or a hero in training yet but he had saved many lives through his actions. Not a single one there wanted to leave him behind.
Shouta had been sent home to see if Izuku would reappear there. Tsukauchi promised that if they found the kid he would call right away. Until then there was nothing he could do on scene.
Once he was back home he went straight for his laptop. Alerting the underground would be his first step. If anyone could find Izuku out in the city at night would be the underground heroes.
Izuku's POV
Three days had passed since he woke up in the compound. Eri was by far his favorite person. She treated him like a prince and rarely left his side. Chrono, the one he saved took them outside several times a day to run about the yard. Sometimes Eri would come and other times she wasnt able to.
It was during these times he learned that Eri couldn't go outside for long periods of time. She had a weak constitution that kept her from going to school and being outside for long periods of time. According to the man she shouldn't have pets either but they were doing a trial run.
Izuku was currently running through the halls of the compound. Eri was napping in her rooms and Chrono was doing something for Kai. It was easy to avoid those who roamed the halls. His wolf form was much faster than those who worked there.
The halls themselves seemed endless and ever-changing. It caused great frustration to build up in the young wolf. He wanted free not more concrete!
As he turned another corner he ran straight into someone. It was strange they didn't have a scent. Every creature, human or animal had a scent. Yet, here stood a man that had no scent. It was as if he didnt exist but Izuku knew he did. He had felt the warmth of his hand when he first woke up.
Amber eyes stared down at the young wolf was watching him equally as wary. Neither wolf nor man had expected the encounter. Before Izuku could turn and run back in the direction he had come from Kai sighed. To the wolf's surprise, the man picked him up as easily as if he was a kitten.
Izuku knew he was smaller than he should be given his age. Still, even that was larger than most animals. So how was this man carrying him around like he weighed nothing at all?!
The man rumbled grumpily, "If you bite me wolf we will have issues."
Izuku gave him the most innocent look in his arsenal. Inside though he was panicking. This man knew he was a wolf? Why was he still here treated as a common pet?
A gentle hand ran down the back of his neck. It was as if the man was trying to calm his worries. Did he seem worried even in this form? Or was this man just trying to treat him as the other did?
It was hard to get a read on Kai. Without a scent, he couldn't tell what the other was thinking. In his current position, he couldn't try to read body language either.
A few moments passed and they were both in a sparsely furnished office. The nonexistent scents of the room alerted Izuku that it was Kai's as he was dropped on the couch. The couch was long enough for him to lay out on. Across from it was a chair with a coffee table between the two sets of furniture. A little further away was a desk that had papers stacked on top of it. To the child, it seemed as if it was a mountain. Who did that much paperwork?
Kai sat in his chair with a groan, "I leave to go check on Eri and I find you in the halls. Now I'm stuck babysitting until Chrono gets back. I dont suppose you'd do the paperwork instead hmmm?"
Izuku gave him an innocent look of incomprehension. Not even if he was in his human form. Sorry Kai but nobody liked paperwork. Least of all a teenager in wolf skin.
"Thought not," sighed the man, "I wonder if anyone is missing you yet. It's been three days since you arrived. You're too well taken care of not to belong to someone."
Innocence became affronted at the man's words. He belonged to no one! Wolves were free creatures that chose their own path.
A chuckle filled the room, "I didnt mean to insult you, runt. But I highly doubt someone your size could survive on your own. You would either be killed or put in a zoo somewhere. After all, wolves are supposed to be extinct."
Izuku's ears flattened against his head and his lips raised in a soundless snarl. If this man thought he could sell him, then he would be sporting new scars at the very least. There was no way he'd go down without a fight.
"Easy there runt. If I meant to harm you I would have done so while you were unconscious."
An uncomfortable silence fell between them the tension so thick it could have been cut with a knife. Amber and green clashed against each other willing the other to back down. Eventually, amber eyes turned to the paperwork on the desk before them. Izuku had won this round.
Despite himself, Izuku soon found that he was dozing off. The room despite its appearances was calming in nature. It didnt help that the couch was more comfortable than Shouta's bed.
A pang of homesickness went through him. He missed Shouta and their apartment. Things were just starting to feel normal again. Now there was no telling when he would get to see home.
Depressing thoughts filled him as he watched Kai from over the arm of the couch. For his part, the man ignored the stare as he grumbled about his paperwork. Slowly but surely the stack of papers diminished as time passed. Izuku had gotten bored with just watching and explored the office.
As he moved around Kai's desk he saw an opportunity. Being bored in this form was never a good thing. It made him more mischievous, as Nezu could attest to. As Kai leaned back to rub at his eyes Izuku leaped.
A grunt of surprise resounded through the man as Izuku landed in his lap. He turned so he was facing the desk and completely in the way of Kai getting anything done. See if the man ruins his escape attempt again.
Kai grumbled out trying to push him off, "Really, runt? I am not a chair. Get off!"
Izuku simply settled into a more comfortable position. It was easy to ignore the attempts to displace him. There were darkly muttered curses behind him as the chair was pushed away from the desk. It seemed the man was going to accept his fate of being a chair.
Then there was another harsh shove successfully sending Izuku crashing to the floor. Green and amber eyes clashed as he recovered his tail flicking in annoyance. An idea hit him and it must have shown in his eyes.
"Dont you," Kai didnt get any further as Izuku lunged.
The full weight of his wolf self hit Kai in the chest. This sent the chair tumbling over so that they were now on the ground. Izuku sat comfortably on the man's chest and this time he did not have the leverage to push him off.
"I hate animals," muttered the man darkly. In answer Izuku only gave him a smug grin. This was what happens when you dont accept being a chair. You become a mat instead.
