"I send you out with a grocery list and not only do you come home with the list you also come home with a dragon?"
"Just hear me out honey. This little lady here is just about the cutest thing in the world and this place could use a pet," replied Tomura as he set the groceries on the counter. "Besides, you can't tell me that this face isn't the cutest thing in the world."
Knight looked at the little critter in the small carrier. The dragon looked back at him and Knight knew he couldn't say no. Sighing he nods his head and goes back to cooking. "Fine but she's your reasonability." Tomura kissed Knight repeatedly. "Okay okay go set her up in the bedroom."
Later that week Knight was trying his hardest to not blow up at his boyfriend as he was yelling at him for screwing up a report.
"AGAIN?! What the ever-loving fuck Knight? This is the 12th time this week that you screwed up," Tomura smacked Knight.
"Look they must have made a last-minute change and forgot to tell me. It happens!"
Tomura grabbed Knight his hair and yanked his head back. "You think you're fooling anyone? I know that you are the reason everything is going to hell. You are purposely trying to destroy us. I thought you were on our side." Tomura threw Knight to the ground.
Knight was now pissed. "I HAVE GIVEN YOU EVERYTHING! I LEFT MY WHOLE LIFE FOR YOU. I AM STILL WORKING AS A HERO BY DAY AND A VILLAIN BY NIGHT. IF I GET SHIT WRONG EVERY ONCE AND A WHILE GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK THEN!" Knight was up and now in Tomura's face.
"Who the fuck do you think you are? How dare you talk back to me. I'm the leader here."
"Some leader. Blaming others for your mistakes? Oh yes I heard about the whole warehouse incident and how you blamed Himiko for it."
Tomura grabbed Knights throat. "It just takes one more finger and I can end you."
"Go for it! You know I'm still suicidal. Go ahead and kill me." Knight stared hard at Tomura. "Why does it matter if I live or not? I die and you lose the only chances you have at getting anywhere you want to." Knight finally got out of the grasp he was in and walked to the door. "Get the fuck out of my apartment. We're done." Knight watched as Tomura walked out of his apartment across the hall and slammed his door shut. Yes, they shared an apartment but Tomura still had his own place for moments like this. Knight slammed the door and went into the bed room to scream.
Once he had screamed his lungs out, he looked towards the tank in his room and stared at the dragon who stared back. "I'm sorry Chiaki. Daddy and I shouldn't be fighting in front of you. Forgive me?" The dragon stared at Knight. 'Stupid dragon.' Knight took the dragon out of the tank and placed it on the floor. "Alright little one, off you go for exploring time."
Bakugo couldn't telling you when the last time he was truly mad, like truly truly mad. He had gotten better control over his anger throughout the years and he was happy about that but today when he saw Deku with new bruises he was furious. "Oi nerd, what happened to you?"
Deku quickly put on his hero costume. "I bumped into stove again."
Bakugo wasn't buying it, "with you neck?"
Deku ran to the nearest mirror and swore. He hadn't realized that he had a bruise on his neck from Tomura. 'Fuck fuck fuck fuck.' Deku turned back to Bakugo. "I must have slept wrong." Deku then proceeded to head out of the locker room only to be stopped by Bakugo. "Kacchan?"
"He's hurting you, isn't he?"
"I have no idea what you mean. I told you I slept wrong."
"Stop with the lying bullshit Deku. Tell me the truth or I'll tell Endeavor to bench you until you get some help. Don't think none of us has noticed the changes since you came back."
Deku sighed and collapsed on the floor. He knew he had to tell the truth and he knew that he needed to get away but he was still working out things. "Look I'm honestly fine Kacchan. Yes, Tomura's abusive to me but I know he still loves me."
"Spoken like a true victim." Bakugo sighed. This was going to be like pulling teeth. "Fine whatever, we don't' have time for this, but please, if anything happens, you'll come to me for help? You still hold a place in my heart and that will never change." Bakugo ran a hand down Knight's cheek. "Let's go nerd."
Knight sighed in relief. He just managed to sneak by with what's been going on. He knew he was far from being in the clear with Kacchan, haven known the man his whole life he knew he'd be back for more information.
Knight collapsed on his couch when he got home. He was exhausted and sore. He had fought many villains today and each and every one of them had kicked his ass. He wasn't use to being on patrol after being gone for 7 months. He got up and headed into the bedroom. It was time for Chiaki to be let out to run around. "Hey baby girl. Let's go exploring, shall we?" Knight puts the dragon down on the floor and watches at it scurries towards under the bed. Knight chuckles and sits on the bed. He should take a shower. He should eat. He should do a lot of things but he's just too damn sore to even move.
He decides that eating should probably happen first. He hadn't eaten in four days, unless you can count endless cups of coffee eating then yes, he ate but if you didn't then no, he didn't. He looked through his fridge, he found some left overs from a few nights ago but knowing that it was past its prime he went through his cupboard and decided to settle on the box of crackers. It was food and it was something he could eat a few of and be just fine.
Knight went back to his room and saw Chiaki on the bed. She often ended up on the bed whenever she was left alone. Knight smiled and laid down on the bed and turned on the TV. It wasn't long before his baby girl was pancaked out on his stomach looking at the TV. Knight sighed as he kept switching channels. There was nothing good on so he settled for a game show. As he laid there munching on the crackers, he could hear his phone pinging with messages from the other room. Knight snarled as he kept letting the phone ping. He didn't want to answer anymore stupid questions or deal with the stupid interns that had stupid questions.
After about an hour of TV time, Knight put Chiaki back in her tank and fed her. He went to the living room to pick up his phones. He noticed that his work phone was full of messages, mostly from his friends. He noticed that his other phone had one message and it was from Dabi. Apparently, there was a meeting tonight and he was to attend. Sighing Knight checked the time and decided the shower could wait until after this meeting.
"Now as all of you know we've had some really back luck this month with heists and shit like that," Tomura started the meeting. "Now we could sit here and argue over whose fault it is but we all know that it is Knight's fault that everything has gone wrong. I have called this meeting to decide his fate."
"Now just wait a damn minute! I've done nothing wrong," argued Knight as he stood up. "Everything I have given you has been genuine. So, things have gone bad that doesn't mean you can just throw me away!"
Tomura grabbed Knight's shirt and snarled. "I can do as I see fit, you lame excuse of a human."
"Tomura, unhand Knight," came a voice from the TV. "We need him alive."
"But master, he's ruined everything. He needs to pay."
"Then kick him out until he can't take it anymore. Let him go back to the life he hated the life that brought him to us."
Knight was getting mad. He didn't sabotage anything. "Fine, I'll leave! I will pack the things I will need and I will leave and go elsewhere. Don't come crying to me when you can't figure shit out." With that Knight went up to his apartment and started to grab things to put in a bag. He sends a quick message to Giri to pop up with a portal so he can transport Knight and Chiaki to the secret place that the two of them knew about. He grabbed everything he'd need for the dragon, put it in his bag and once Giri was in the apartment Knight was gone.
Knight looked around the apartment and sighed. He knew Bakugo kept this apartment just in case Knight needed to escape.
[I am at the safety house. No need to panic, I was thrown out of the apartment building I was living in]
He didn't have to wait long for a response.
[We're coming over for dinner. You are not cooking, get yourself settled in and we'll be there in 30]
Knight sighed and settled on the couch. He had gotten everything taken care of before he messaged Kacchan. He was currently watching Chiaki roam around her new temporary home. He felt back for taking the dragon but he knew that Tomura wouldn't take care of her.
About 28 minutes later Bakugo and Shoto walked into the apartment.
"Knocking works, you know," came Knights voice as he came from the bedroom, with Chiaki on his shoulder.
"What the hell is on your shoulder," snapped back Bakugo as he dropped the groceries on the counter.
"This is my little girl Chiaki. I sent Tomura out with money and grocery list and he came back with a bearded dragon. He would never take care of her with me gone so I brought her with me."
Shoto walked up to the dragon who jumped from Knight's shoulder to his. "Whoa she can jump?"
"Yep. So, what are you making me for dinner Kacchan?"
"Pork cutlet bowls."
Knight smiled. He didn't know that the other had remembered his favorite meal. "Thanks, Kacchan."
"Whatever nerd, go sit down and rest."
"All I've been doing is resting. I need something to do with my time."
"You have a ton of paper work that needs to be caught up on."
Knight shook his head. "Nope got that all done before you guys got here."
"Find a new hobby then," suggested Shoto who was completely taken with the now pancaked dragon. "Honey we really need to get one of these."
"No, we don't, neither one of us is home enough for one. I'm sure Deku will allow you to visit his whenever you want."
"Of course, anytime you want to."
Shoto smiled and kissed Deku on the cheek, receiving a growl from Bakugo who threw a mushroom at him. "It was a friendly kiss it means nothing. I still only have eyes for you." Shoto went and kissed Bakugo's lips. "Besides if I suck up to him, he'll let me come over when he's not here."
"You can already do that whenever you want. I know Kacchan gave you an extra key." Knight went and sat on the couch. "I do not mind if you come into this space when I'm not around I just ask you stay out of the master bedroom closet."
"I can do that. Did you hear that Chiaki, I can come visit you when I want to?" Shoto proceeded to head towards the living with the dragon.
"So, what the hell did decay face do this time?"
Knight knew that this is what was going to happen. He sighed and turned so he could see both men. "Some things went wrong and he blamed me so I was thrown out until I could come back to my senses."
"What senses? You gave up a lot for him if I remember correctly," replied Bakugo.
"I told him that and he just seemed to get madder. I still love him though." Knight sunk deeper into the couch. "I know I'm going to miss him."
"Right now, you just need to, and I can't believe I'm going to say this, let him cool down and maybe you can both talk about this when your both in a good place."
Knight knew that was hard for Kacchan to say. He didn't like the other man as much but he did see how happy Knight was when he talked about something sweet that he did. Knight knew that if both men knew what he really was doing for the League they'd have him fired from the agency and he'd be banded from all the other agencies too. He had to be quiet about what he told them. "I know we do but for all that I have done for him, you'd think he'd be a little more grateful to me."
"People like him aren't grateful for the clothes on their backs some times. You needed worry about him right now. Heal and focus on work and focus on getting back to your old self." Shoto took his new friend from his shoulder, receiving a hiss from the little dragon. "I think it's time this little one get's back to her tank. She's starting to get cold."
Knight smiled and took the dragon back to her tank. "It seems like you made a new friend didn't you baby girl? Can I be honest with you? I'm not sure I want to ever go back to your dads' place. Maybe I've been away from my life for too long? What do you think?" The dragon just stared at him. He knew that she wouldn't answer him but it was worth the shot.
"I think you should do what you feel is right. It's your life Izu. Just note that what ever you choose you have friends who will behind you through it all. You will not go through hard ships alone. You have me and you Kats. Neither one of will allow you to feel alone," came Shoto's voice from the hallway.
Knight sighed and walked into the hallway. "I was so mad at you two for what happened. I needed a place that wasn't near you two and a place that would offer me some quiet peace. I didn't intend on falling in love with Tomura. It was just supposed to be a second in command thing and it turned out to be so much more. In the short amount of time we were together we had built a home. Granted we each had our own places so when things got like they did neither one of us had to see the other one. It was still a home none the less."
"You know neither one of us meant to hurt you right? We just couldn't hide our feelings anymore. If it helps with the healing, he still talks about you and everything you guys ever did together. I'm not even mad that he does it. I know you mean a lot to him and I know that I will never take that place in his heart and I'm okay with that."
"Actually, nerd we have something to talk to you about," came Bakugo's voice.
Knight looked between the two men. They were plotting something. He didn't know what but they were plotting something. "Am I going to be mad at this?"
"I don't think you'll be mad I think you might be confused a little bit but not mad." Shoto grabs Bakugo's hand. "We have been talking and."
"And I still love you and I still want to be with you and Shoto and I have talked it over and if your willing to and you agree to it, would you want to be our 3rd? I know it's a weird request but with my feelings for you still strong and then hearing this idiot mention how cute he thought you were we thought why not both of us having you."
Knight stared at the two with his mouth open. "You want me to date both of you? Like as a couple?"
Shoto shrugged his shoulders. "I don't see the harm in it. I mean I think your cute, Bakugo thinks we're cute, and you I know you think I'm cute so why not give it a shot. It's not like we have to keep it up if it makes you uncomfortable. It would be strictly a trial run."
"I really think that this might be good for you nerd," replied Bakugo as he held open his arms. "With the two of us, you'd never be alone."
Knight gave a weary smile and ran into Bakugo's arms. He was engulfed in a warm embrace by both men. He suddenly felt all of his stress melt away and for once he felt like he could breathe again. "I'm not sure if I'm going to be good at this at first but if you're both willing to be patient with me and give me time to warm up to the situation, I think we could make this work."
"You take as long as you need to nerd. No rush."
It had been about two months since Knight was kicked out of the League. He was back to working nights off and on as well as dating two amazing men. He was feeling pretty damn good about himself. He had turned off his other phone and stopped checking his other email because ever time he did he'd see a message from him, and he didn't want to deal with it.
Today found him lounging in the living room with Shoto who was currently playing with the dragon. "Some times I wonder who you love more, me or Chiaki."
Shoto stuck his tongue out. "Seeing as that it's Kats night with you I need to do something to bide my time."
"True but you can give me attention too you know. I live here also."
"True but look at her. She's just too cute to not want to be with." Shoto was once again enthralled with the dragon.
"Hey you two here," came a voice from the hallway.
"One of us is but the other I don't know," replied Knight as he looked at Shoto on the floor. "How was work." Knight gave him a kiss.
"Rough. So what do you want tonight for dinner?"
"Hmm whatever you make is good. Surprise me."
Bakugo smiled and looked at the floor. "You staying for dinner or not?"
Shoto picked up the dragon and headed towards the room. "I'm leaving I'm leaving." Shoto came back into the living room and proceeded to kiss both men. "I will see you tomorrow Kats?"
Bakugo nodded his head and kissed Shoto back. "I'll be home midafternoon." Shoto nodded in agreement and left the apartment.
Bakugo turned towards Knight and put his arms around him. "So nerd, what are we going to do tonight?"
Tomura was not happy. He hadn't heard from his partner in two months. Did he really think that he was that mad at him? He knew that he suffered from low blood sugar and when it fell, he got angry.
"Tomura I know you're upset that Knight hasn't come back yet but will you please stop destroying the glasses," asked Kurogiri as he cleaned up more dust from the counter.
"He's never been gone this long before."
"That's because he's always held himself up in his apartment when ever you would fight. Why don't you just find someone new and forget about him?"
Tomura threw a glass at Kurogiri. "Master needs him! We need his quirk if this is ever going to work out for us and you know that."
Kurogiri sighed and went back to cleaning up the messes that Tomura was making. 'I think it's best if he just stays away. He's never going to be one of us. He's too pure for this world.'
Tomura took out his phone. [Hey idiot, I'm sorry okay. Will you just please come home or at least talk to me] He waited for a response that he knew wasn't coming. 'Why the hell isn't he answering me?'
Izuku was finally getting into the swing of his new life. He was happy with how things were going. He was back working full time, he was enjoying the relationship he was in and he finally felt whole.
"Hey mom, I'm home."
Inko came walking into the front hall way. "Welcome home. How are things at the agency?"
"Same old same old. Is he here?"
Inko smiled and led Izuku into the living room. There sitting in his arm chair was Toshinori, who upon seeing Izuku smiled. "My boy, it's good to see you again."
Izuku walked over and gave the retired hero a hug. "It's good to see you too dad. How are things?" Oh, did he forget to mention that All Might married Izuku's mother. Well he did and Izuku couldn't have been happier.
"How have you been my boy?"
Izuku sat on the couch. "I am feeling better then I have most of this year. It was quite a ride there for a second."
"So I have heard. How was it staying with the League?"
"Honestly, not that bad. I was able to blow off some steam and they treated me very well." Izuku made sure to leave out the parts where he was dating and sleeping with Shigaraki.
"I'm sure they wanted something from you."
"My knowledge of the hero system."
"No, my boy I don't think that's all they wanted. I think they were after One for All."
Izuku shrugged. "Well it doesn't matter anymore because I was kicked from there and I do not intend on going back, ever."
"Well I hope you don't. You made your mother and I worry."
"I'm sorry dad."
"Now now Toshi, that's enough harassing the boy. He's learning. Now come and have dinner both of you," replied Inko as she helped Toshi get out from his chair.
Later that night Izuku was sitting in the living room having quality time with Chiaki when he heard his other phone ping. 'I thought I turned the damn thing off.' He went and retrieved it and noticed 101 messages all from Tomura. 'The hell does he want now?' Izuku looked at the messages. A lot of them were apologizes some where threats and others were just random drunk texts. The latest one being a threatening one. He was quickly deleting them when a new one popped up.
[Don't you think of deleting these messages Knight] Izuku froze. How did he know what he was doing?
[I think I know you better then you think love. I'm sorry for everything that was said and what was done. I need you. Please come back to me]
[Why should I? You threw me out]
[That? That was masters doing. You know I suffer from low blood sugar and you know I get mean when it falls]
[That doesn't matter Tomura. You have hurt me one too many times already. Please leave me alone. I'm finally finding happiness and safety in life. I don't want you to ruin it for me]
[You would dare give up on our relationship? You'd throw the nine months we had away for happiness? I thought I was your happiness]
[Once upon a time you were. Since being away from you these last two months, I have finally found happiness in every day life. I'm not harming myself anymore and I am in a very good relationship. I have two guys who care for me and love me very much]
[We'll see how long they love you in a few months when they decide that you're not worth their time anymore] With that the phone turned off.
'Damn it, he can turn the phone and off when ever he wants to? This thing is going in the lock box in the closet. If he can turn it on whenever he wants to, it means he's been spying on me the whole time…. Now do I tell Kacchan and Sho about this or do I keep it quiet?'
