Chapter 1 : Bad Monday
Pluuus ultra!
That was his ringtone.
Izuku fumbled with his fingertips to find his phone on his nightstand. 4.30 am. This was his agency, as he has feared. Not that he didn't want to work, actually, that was all he wanted. But he was supposed to be on forced sick leave because of a rather serious injury to his right leg. If his agency called him in the middle of the night, it meant something bad had happened.
Midoriya and Bakugou were both working at the All Might Agency, or the "Mighty Agency" as the fans called it. It was a recent but rather famous hero agency founded by Momo and Tenya. After a decade of career, they had gathered with many former classmates to create a structure where they would be free to set the rules. It included Froppy, Uravity, Red Riot, Chargebolt, Pinky, Earphone Jack, Cellophane, Lemillion, Eri and Shoto.
Shoto precisely, was partly the cause of Midoriya's leave. During a difficult mission, he had made a mistake that had almost cost his leg to Izuku. Since then, and against their advice, Creati and Ingenium had forced both to rest.
"Go back to sleep 'Zuku" moaned Bakugou, clasping Midoriya's waist with both arms and possessiveness. He, then, kissed the back of his neck sleepily.
"It's Momo," simply said Izuku. "They want us to come like, right now."
Bakugou straightened himself.
"What the fuck? did Big-Boobs and Four-Eyes become senile to the point of having forgotten that you're hurt? They cannot live without you for two days?"
Izuku folded the blanket with a gesture and got out of bed grimacing.
"Shoto picks us up in 10 minutes."
"What the fuck happened? And why do we have to come with that Half'n Half bastard? Wasn't he on leave too?"
"I don't know what happened, Momo simply told me to come quickly and discreetly," answered Midoriya searching a sports bag in one of his closets. And stop calling Shoto that!
"Not my fault if he's a complete incompetent" grumbled Bakugou as he picked up his own phone to dial a number.
"It's not true, and you know it."
"Why do you have an ugly scar at the top of your thigh then?"
"It's my own doing. It's not Shoto's fault."
"Yes it's your fault, Mr. Sacrifice, but it's also the fault of Shoto who needed someone to save him during an extremely sensitive mission where you should have only had to take care of yourself," bellowed Katsuki, jumping up from the bed and propelling the blanket to the floor.
Katsuki hated Shoto. For various reasons but especially for he's proximity to Izuku. It was no secret to anyone. That said, since Izuku's injury, their relationship had really deteriorated, if it was possible. He was angry at Todoroki for this failed fight. Bakugo knew well the risks that went with the job, but an injury caused by an ally's mistake? It was unforgivable for him. They were no longer beginners. They had 10 years of work behind them.
He had made it clear to the fire and ice manipulator who could do nothing but apologize.
"Leave him alone Kacchan, he already feels bad enough without you adding a layer with your temper."
"Well if you heal badly, I explode him!"
"He's my best friend Kacchan!"
"I am your best friend! And you don't put that shirt on you!" he said to Deku who, one foot in his hero suit, precipitately piled up spare things in a bag. The T-shirt in question was a small black V-neck, which emphasized Izuku's curves and muscles.
"Why?" he asked with a frown but did not stop working.
"Because Icey Hot is going to check you out again!" Katsuki answered while putting on his own hero outfit, his phone nestled between his ear and his shoulder, waiting for somebody to pick up.
"Kacchan! That's enough with Shoto!"
"Hell if it's enough with him! I'm tired of this bastard eating you with his eyes every damn time he sees you!"
"He does not eat me with his eyes! It's in your head!" Izuku replies, his toothbrush in his mouth before spitting quickly.
"Yeah yeah! Keep telling yourself this but if he's really your best friend you'll have to address the subject one day before it ends badly! You do the ostrich, but everyone has noticed! Ask Round face you'll see!"
"Whatever!"
"In any case, if he tries the slightest thing on you, I smash him!"
"Kacchan!"
Knock Knock
They heard someone knock on the front door.
"We don't have the time to argue! He's here already! Is Toshinori free to babysit?" said Izuku opening the door.
Todoroki's face greeted him. When the latter discovered an Izuku, half in his hero costume, the features pulled by fatigue and the hair in a mess, he could not prevent a redness settling on his face. Redness that the symbol of peace, following the conversation he had just had, could not help but notice despite himself.
They haven't changed a lot since high school. Bakugou was still that ash blond boy with scarlet angry eyes. But Midoriya did change a little. He was taller but not taller than Bakugou still. He kept a slender form even with the muscles. And he now had a stylish, curly undercut and a tongue piercing. Quite provocative for the symbol of peace had said All Might when Midoriya had showed him years ago. But Midoriya found himself pretty like that and he liked the contrast between his personality and this style. It had been enough reason for All Might to find it pretty as well.
Bakugou, on his side, if he was very fan of the new hairstyle didn't know what to think of the tongue piercing the first time he saw it. Midoriya just came in one day during their third year with it yelling "surprise" with his tongue out.
It was all Kirishima fault for introducing him to that tattoo saloon he goes nearly monthly he thought at the time.
But the minute Midoriya kissed him with this new addition of him, Katsuki thought this piercing was the best idea in the world.
"Ah! Shoto, sorry we're almost operational, just let me check if All Might can watch the girls and we can head out." he said out loud.
The girls, as Midoriya called them, was their two daughters. Twins. Rika and Erina, 7 years old and very healthy. Biological daughters with that. After their marriage at 22, the two quickly discuss children. It was something they both wanted, and quickly, because once settled in their careers, the time to take care of them would become more and more restricted as they gained more responsibility. The smartest thing was to have a baby at the beginning of a hero career or at the end. And they did not want to wait. After pulling a few strings, they enrolled in an experimental program of procreation assisted by quirk and thanks to someone who had the power they could conceive a child, biologically theirs. Although it was two children in their case.
Shoto heard Bakugou voice far away in the apartment.
"Can you come like now? We have to go now, yeah, yeah, I'm sorry, yeah, yeah they can stay alone 20 minutes, thank you All Might, yeah, I'll tell him, see you."
He hang up.
"He'll come soon, we can go" he said to Midoriya. He then glared at Todoroki, leaning against a wall and the later glared harder. Izuku ignored them in favor of checking on his little babies before going.
They were perfect. Both were breath-taking little beauties with big and fierce green eyes, soft curled blond hair and freckles everywhere. They were crazy in love with them. Erina was the eldest and she had for sure Bakugou's temper. She knew what she wanted with life and you didn't mess with her. She had long hair that she wanted braided all the time and Bakugou was not going to admit it, but he loved do that. Rika was her opposite, very mature and wise. She spoke only to say meaningful things and was very kind and respectful. She had the cutest curly bob haircut of the neighborhood.
The wonder duo kissed them both on the temple and locked the door.
Momo had asked them to come discreetly. So there were no big flights on the buildings to arrive more quickly. Katsuki grabbed with a gesture the keys to his motorcycle, a Suzuki Katana, and told Izuku to follow him. Todoroki had come in his sports car.
Hero's life made money.
"We'll see each other at the agency, Ice-cube face, Bakugou told Todoroki before sitting on his saddle, Izuku behind him, his arms tightly hung on his waist. Izuku also had his motorcycle license, it was Katsuki who had forced him to pass it so that he was able to react to all situations, but he drove only when he was obliged to do so. They also had another bike, more vintage with a sidecar for when they wanted to go on roadtrip with the girls.
"It was worth it to pick you up," complained Shoto.
"Sorry! You know how he is! Izuku shouted before closing his helmet and signaling at Bakugou to go.
A boost, and they were already far away.
Todoroki, both hands on his leather steering wheel, glanced at the couple with annoyance from time to time.
Yes, he was crazy in love with Izuku, his "best friend" and he also knew it was a perfectly one-sided love. Bakugou and Midoriya were married for something like 10 years, although each kept their birth name, and they had children together. He knew that Izuku was very happy with Bakugou. It was the love of his life. He knew it was perfectly impossible for something to happen between him and Midoriya and it was eating him inside.
He couldn't make any relationship with someone last because he had Izuku in his head. The few friends he had confided to had automatically told him to give up. That there was no one less accessible than Izuku and that if he tried to woo the hero he was just going to destroy something beautiful...
"Something beautiful..."
He knew that Bakugou had changed - even during their school years. He had softened himself and although he kept his dirty character and most of his downsides, he now treated Izuku with respect, in his own way. And he was a wonderful dad.
In addition, they were both openly gay. The symbol of peace was openly gay. It was something big and they managed to win the hearts of many people despite that. They had managed to make themselves so indispensable that even the most refractory did not allow criticism in fear they give up on their careers. In those times, you could not afford to not being able to count on Deku and Ground Zero. Moreover, the public was reassured that Deku, the smiling and always pleasant young man had a certain control over the burnt head that was Ground zero.
Shoto sighed, wondering when an angel would come out and make Izuku disappear of his heart.
They arrived at the agency's car park 12 minutes later. Ground Zero parked the bike angrily and took off his helmet. Midoriya did the same and stroked Bakugo's face with an intimate gesture to calm him down. Bakugou didn't smile but his eyes expressed gratitude.
Momo arrived and crossed her arms. She waited until Todoroki came and explained the situation.
"You know that every 6 months there is this little moment of a few hours when we reset the security system?" she said.
"Yeah…?"
The All Might agency was special. The hero group had made a name very quickly and had gained the trust of veterans just as quickly. So, a special wing was built, highly secure, where they could kept the most dangerous villains with innovative security systems. There was a real little prison in the agency, to summarize.
"And so you know that prisoners are no longer under extreme vigilance during this time and we must watch them…"
"Don't talk to me like I'm some trainee or some shit! I know all of that, I even know that it was the job of Four Eyes and Round Face tonight!" cut Katsuki angrily. "So why the fuck were we woken up tonight?"
"They had a little accident."
"Oh my, are they ok?" Asked Izuku.
"They are, almost. That was a stupid accident. They were doing their job and Lida, deprived of sleep for too long, fell on his butt while trying to keep a villain from escaping. Coccyx fracture. Ochako tried to keep him from falling, fracture of the arm."
"No way! are there any people who are not stupid in this agency?" ask Bakugou to nobody.
"Well, we all need rest. But you can't have it now, all three of you. I need you to monitor the prison wing until the end of the reboot. Nobody else is free."
"All of you suck!" complained Bakugo. "And why did you call Deku with his fucked-up leg?"
"Well, I didn't trust you and Todoroki to do the job without killing each other."
"…"
"She has a point" said Midoriya smiling.
"Just go, and do not forget that this evening is the anniversary of the agency and that you are all invited with your families" added Momo.
"How could we forget, you repeat it like, every day since it's planned" Katsuki laughed.
"And you're going to be exhausted considering how little you're going to sleep so I'll put you into paperwork chores all day today."
"What? Double punishment?"
"It's for your sake, you do not want to do patrols half asleep, no? In addition, a new trainee intern arrives this morning. He's coming from the United States and he will need someone to introduce him the agency. I'm counting on you Todoroki and Midoriya, you'll catch up in two days."
The hours that followed were long. But eventually the system worked again, and the trio was able to release the pressure. Todoroki took a quick shower and walked out of the locker room while Midoriya and Bakugou took their time to tidy up and fold their belongings properly. A habit acquired from being parents.
Shirtless, the green haired man showed his smartphone to his husband with a smile.
"Look, Erina's doing a face!"
A cute photo of their daughter doing an ugly face showed on the screen and Bakugou smiled fondly.
"She's so fucking perfect. 'Gonna become someone that others will be afraid of being an enemy."
"Rika looks so mature next to her!"
"She's a real lady. I don't know from who she takes after…"
"I love them so much."
"Me too nerd. They are everything."
The two slipped in the shower and the blonde ran his hands on the hips of the smallest. They stared at each other with a tired expression and kissed each other. First chastely, enjoying the comfort of hot water on their muscles, then languorously.
Bakugou frowned in the kiss, focused, as if he wanted to show his husband how hard he loved him, even after all these years. They caressed each other sensually everywhere, without worrying much about being at their workplace.
Just with a kiss Bakugou was hard already. The fault of that fucking piercing.
They broke apart just because they had to breathe and Midoriya murmured, arms around his lover neck:
"I kind of wanna go to the party tonight just because I'm sure I'll get to see them both there…"
"I get what you mean. But this party sucks ass anyway. I wish we could just stay home."
"Come on, the girls will love it, they'll get to see Nori-kun."
Nori-kun was Kirishima's son and the godson of Bakugou. A cute, well-mannered child.
The blond sighed and stroked Izuku's cheekbone with his fingertips.
"They get to see him whenever they want you know."
Izuku laughed at that. Damn Bakugou loved that laugh, it was clear and full of hidden joy. He kissed it away however. He then began to kiss him behind the ear, causing a moan to escape the mouth of the youngest and sucked his neck with envy. Their erections rubbed and Izuku cramped harder on his shoulders.
"I want you" just said the blond.
"You always want me" laughed Izuku, "but I always want you too".
"Damn nerd, saying cheesy things, you kill the mood".
"Cheesy things gets me off, not my fault you do not have my kinks" he teased him.
He kissed him quiet. Again. Then he massaged his erection with one hand while the other was lost in his curly hair. Izuku moaned in his ear and his hands went down to join Bakugou's on their throbbing members.
"Yeah…" Izuku moaned, staring at his husband's eyes.
"You're so fucking sexy…with your damn freckles" said Bakugou while stroking both their cocks.
Midoriya opened his mouth from the pleasure and tilted his head back. He kissed the blonde again and made sure to roll his piercing against his tongue.
"You want me to suck you off? asked Bakugou hungrily.
"I want you to fuck me."
The blond bit his lip with excitement and turned Midoriya, who instinctively leaned against the cold, tiled wall. Bakugou put a lot of little kisses on his neck and shoulders before taking his ass with both hands.
"Mhh!" moaned the green haired man, surprised by the grasp.
He slipped a hand between his buttocks and caressed the little hole there.
"You taunt me, but we have no lube, because we were not supposed to fucking come here tonight" remembered the blond with a frustrated groan. "I don't want to hurt you."
"Come on, do it raw, I'm not in sugar, I can take it, and we're gonna do paperwork today."
"Your fucking leg's fucked up, you'll be doing more that walking funny if I do you here raw."
"…okay, fine. Then, let ME suck you off."
"You don't want a release?"
"I'll do it while doing you."
Midoriya knelt on the floor and placed a hand on his husband's dick. He raised his head and enjoyed tapping the tip of his lips with it before giving him a proper lick, flashing that devilish piercing. Bakugou moaned for a long time and took a handful of his curly hair. Izuku began a quick come and go, because they did not have all day and quickly brought his husband to nirvana.
He swallowed every bits and came himself in a small cry. The two heroes then took a real shower and started to work, effectively exhausted.
"Hi, nice to meet you hero Deku, I'm Salem Johansson and I'm going to work with you this month. I hope I'll learn a lot from you, I put myself in your care."
The one who just talk was the new trainee. He was there to see how Japanese heroes worked more than really doing any on the field work. He was tall, big and charming with brown hair et brown eyes and a thin tan.
"Nice to meet you too Johansson-san, you can drop the polite speech if you want. We are a young and cool agency!" answered Midoriya with all the good humor he was capable of after 3 cups of coffee.
"Oh, then, you can call me Salem!"
"Right, ok, call me Deku if you wish! I'll show you around. Today, we're doing nothing interesting thought, we'll catch on paperwork."
"Oh, it's fine with me! I'm eager to learn."
"Good!"
Three hours later, they were all huddled around the big table, storing and unstacking papers.
Kirishima had joined them, because in his great generosity he had taken pity on them.
"You have a tongue piercing" suddenly noticed Salem, after at least 5 minutes of silence.
This thing was way too popular, thought Bakugou.
"Yeah" just answered Midoriya with a shy smile.
"Surprising! I did not imagine you the kind of person to have that."
"Loads of people tell me that."
"Can you show me?"
Todoroki and Bakugou suddenly looked up from their paper. Izuku just pulled out his tongue for a few seconds and immediately returned to his files.
"Wow! It's kind of sexy, you must have a lot of love letters."
"Ask my husband for that" said Izuku while wiping something.
"Oh your husband? You're married? Since when? said Salem, visibly disappointed.
"Since forever dumbass! How can you not know? We're on television everywhere, I have two kids!" Bakugou shouted.
"Kacchan!"
"Overprotective, I see" commented Salem.
"Please guys, I feel like in high school again. We married at 22."
"You married young!"
"It gives you lots of advantages in hero work. You can have matching shifts and vacation and that kind of thing."
"If you're finished, we can go back to focus on work" said Shoto dryly, scratching his paper.
"Oh? You're tired of speaking of my wonderful wedding? suddenly asked Bakugou, amused by Todoroki's embarrassment.
"Shut up. I'm trying to work" he answered coldly.
"It was a fucking awesome wedding! The nerd wanted it small and private, but All Might came and said that his son, because he married aunty Inko you know, deserved something big and wonderful and he insisted to fucking pay for it all".
Izuku smiled as he remembered the party.
"I was so emotional with All Might speech" added Izuku, "it's true I wanted a small ceremony at first but that wedding he paid for…it's was a dream."
Bakugou's smile grew wider with pride. Lots of the ideas that took place in his wedding were his and he remembered every time his husband's eyes sparkled.
Shoto thought that it was definitely a long day.
Eventually, the evening arrived and the agency's anniversary too. That was not an enormous party with lots of guest, but Momo INSISTED for every member of the agency to be there that night to celebrate. With all the family and friends, it looked like the birthday of somebody and it was nothing fancy. Colorful decoration, light music and lots of laughing.
They were all gathered in the open space, on the couches, a drink in hand and chatting together as the children were playing with each other. Salem had ordered a huge cake to celebrate his arrival and Momo was beginning to serve a part for everyone. He also brought lots of "American food" for everybody to try.
"Hey girls, you want some cake? Asked Bakugou to his daughters. All Might had dropped them at the agency at 6pm but he couldn't attend the party.
"Yes papa!" Screamed Erina, stopping playing to stare at the dessert, "I want a big slice!"
"And what did you fucking forgot to say again?"
"Fucking please!"
"That's my girl".
Todoroki looked at the scene with disillusioned air.
"Rika, precious, you don't want one I guess", added Bakugou, he knew Rika wasn't very fond of cake.
"No, thank you", simply said the little girl with a kind smile.
"There are salty appetizers if you want."
"I'll take a look."
"And I'll take a piece of the cake", concluded Bakugou while taking two big slices, one for himself and one for Izuku.
"Bakubro, today must have been a long day for you, you look tired" said Kirishima with a beer in hand.
"Clearly. I slept like…3 hours and I'm not 18 anymore."
"Papa is an old man" said Erina while stuffing a portion of cake (too big) in her mouth.
"It's not me who said it" laughed Eijirou while sipping.
"Dad I ate too much cake!" cried Nori Kirishima while holding his tummy.
"Well, I told you to not eat more than one!" Eijirou said focusing his attention back on Bakugou.
"Where is Midoriya?"
"In the kitchen area I guess, must be helping with shit, you know him" answered the blond while eating.
In the kitchen, Midoriya was in a big conversation with Salem about a villain capture they had managed months ago.
And this is where it went crazy.
"...I mean, that Hotta Soseki, his quirk is dangerous, but he was not very smart himself, we had luck. I didn't really believe in my plan back then" he explained while opening a bag of instant coffee.
Suddenly, Salem's eyes widened, and rage invaded him. He grabbed Deku violently by the throat and began to squeeze very hard.
Izuku understood nothing and under the effect of surprise, he dropped his spoon and put his hands on Salem's to try to unhook them.
The trainee did not move an inch. Salem was all muscles. But Deku did not panic. He only had to use One for all.
But nothing.
He could not use his quirk, no matter what he did. One for all was not triggering.
And he began to panic then. He tried to punch the fingers that strangled his throat, to scratch the man face, to punch directly in the said face but he did not flinch. There was a distinct difference in brute force, this guy couldn't be just a trainee.
Izuku began to suffocate severely. Salem put him on the kitchen worktop for even more grip. He felt his vision darken.
A chance for him, Kirishima and Todoroki returned to the kitchen at that time and threw themselves on the man. Bakugou's hasty steps were then heard. He had come running up, a girl in each arm on hearing the noise and everything had gone so fast that he had even seen a piece of the scene from afar.
He gave his daughters to Kirishima and stuck Salem on the wall.
"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING SON OF A BITCH?"
"Papa! Don't fight!" worried Rika.
"Daddy…" Erina sobbed
Bakugou turned around like on autopilot at the voice of his eldest calling for Midoriya, her "daddy". He rushed to his husband and cursed, discovering that he was inanimate on the kitchen cabinet.
He ran a hand over his cheek and held his breath as he slid it down his neck to catch his pulse. He cursed again, with relief, as he felt his heart beat and now that he was looking better he could see him breathing too. He was just unconscious because of the lack of oxygen.
He put him on the kitchen sofa and he looked at Salem again, who was held on the floor by Todoroki.
"What are you up to, newbie? What's the deal? Asked Shoto while maintaining his head on the floor. I can't use my quirk, why?"
"Aaagh I lost my temper again. He will be angry with me. It's because I cannot stand people bad mouthing the boss" answered Salem, not looking guilty with what he had just done.
Bakugou kicked him in the balls.
"What the fuck? Who's the boss?" he shouted.
"Argh! Well I guess I did my job anyway so it's ok."
"What do you mean…"
Ground Zero was cut when a thick mass of smoke spread through the room.
The blonde's first reflex was to cover with both hands the faces of his daughters who had moved closer to their father. He did not see a meter in front of him but he knew the agency by heart. He heard movement in the offices, shouts, objects shattered on the floor, unknown voices.
He frowned and as he, obviously too, could not use his quirk, he tried to shelter his family. He took the lifeless body of his husband in his arms and ordered his daughters to follow him. Midoriya's throat had turned purple and Katsuki was worried that this crazy man really hurt him. He rushed into the little storeroom of the kitchen and closed behind him.
Inside he found little Nori curled up and crying. He put him on his feet and placed him behind him.
Midoriya chose this moment to regain consciousness and coughed violently. Bakugou almost jumped on him.
"Are you okay?"
"Mh…I guess so" answered Midoriya with an awful voice. "Salem he…tried to strangle me."
"I saw. I kicked him in the balls. Villains are attacking the agency and I can't use my fucking quirk and the girls aren't safe and they're terrified and I need you to help…"
"Calm down. Why are we in the storage room?"
"I had to put them somewhere without the fucking smoke!"
"What smoke?"
"Some shitty asshole put it all over the agency, we can see nothing but we need to get out and take control of the situation."
"Ok but I can't use my quirk too."
"I thought so, I don't remember you having a kink for strangulation."
"Well, I guess not, not after that."
"I can't use my quirk too Papa!" said Erina while hugging Nori who was really frightened. "I cannot melt the bad guys!"
"Please honey, if you get your quirk back, don't melt anybody!" asked Izuku while taking them both in his arms.
"I can use mine" suddenly said Rika.
"Is that true precious?" asked Izuku. "Protect your sister and Nori-kun then. Do your little shield."
Rika focused herself on her task and use her quirk. If her sister had an offensive power that allowed her to create explosive laser like volcano eruption (Bakugou's pride), her's was more the defensive kind. She could generate a solid shield that explode on the surface if touched. It was a very useful quirk because it protected anybody behind it while creating damage on the other side. Midoriya thought that if she could create big ones and maintain them, she could be a very important person.
The three children protected behind the pretty shield, Bakugou proposed to leave them here for a minute and get out to help others. They locked them in the cellar and went out.
A throbbing pain pitched in the leg of the symbol of peace. It was as if not to have a sore neck his body was focused on his other wound.
They sneaked quietly to the main room and hid to watch. They spotted Salem standing with a gun in his arms and seeming to be watching the room. Katsuki mimicked something to Izuku that he roughly translated as "I'm going to kill this son of a bitch" and he quietly asked him to not make any noise.
A tall, sturdy guy was holding Momo with a gun. And many of the agency's members and their families were seated on the floor by others.
Kirishima was as white as a towel. Bakugou would have liked to be able to tell him that his son was fine.
If they were there it probably meant that they couldn't use their quirk either, otherwise the situation would have been quickly settled.
"You are going to open cell 17" ordered the kidnapper pulling on Momo's hair.
"It's the puppeteer's cell" Deku murmured, leaning on Bakugou's shoulder.
So that was what it was. These villains came to liberate one of their own, and they did something to their quirk to be able to do it.
End of chapter 1
