Let the games begin
"I'm going to miss that little guy." Izuku said to herself as she remembered her training with Gran Torino and strolled down the hallways towards Inna's place in the stables of UA's guild.
Everything went back to normal in Hosu City for the past week after the nomu incident and the Hero Killer in jail, the citizens continued about their daily lives. Class 1A returned back from the city safe and sound, they even got offered to come back sometime to do some patrols, Gran Torino said to Izuku that she was welcomed to spar with him anytime and to say hi to Yagi on his behalf.
"INNA!" Izuku cheered as she levitated a big bag full of meat for her dragon friend. "I bought you the best meat on the market and it definitely tastes better than those Nomus."
"FUCK YEAH!" Inna rolled on his back and he leaned down to eat but stopped when he saw her smirking at him. "I mean, it's only right since I deserve it after eating those disgusting Nomus." He shrugged it off before digging in.
"Sure." Izuku smiled fondly at her friend with her arms crossed, she took a step back so she wouldn't get blood over her clothes until her back collided with someone's chest. "I'm sorry!" She turned her head over her shoulder and relaxed when her eyes saw her favorite red eyes. "Geez! Kacchan, it's you."
Katsuki put his arms around her and held her for a while as she leaned back against him. "When are we going to sleep in the same room?" He asked, breaking the silence.
"Why-why would I do that?" Izuku squirmed in his arms. "We have our own rooms." She giggled when he kissed her temple.
"We've shared a room at Hosu City." He argued and nuzzled her nape. "Let me hold you again, Izuku." He pressed kisses across her cheek and stopped over her ear. "Just be my bride already." He growled into the sensitive lobe of her ear and she smiled stupidly.
"YOUNG MIDORIYA!" A voice was heard in the distance.
"Let-let me go, Kacchan!" She turned bright red when she realized that it was All Might and slapped his arms but still he wouldn't let go. "Alright, we'll sleep together." She said quickly as she heard her mentor's steps getting closer.
"In my room?" He grinned wickedly.
"...Yes, in your room." She snorted and he loosened his grip. "Or my room."
"I have better blankets, they're from my tribe." He suggested.
"You win." She said before she pushed him with her back and separated herself from him, she whipped her head at the entrance where All Might was entering with a big smile.
"I thought that you wanted to tell me about Gran Torino." All Might widened his eyes at her and motioned her to follow him.
"Oh!"
Izuku shut the door after her when she walked into the private room after her mentor, she eyed All Might's figure seated on a sofa that faced another one with a little table between them. Her mind got curious about what the hell was going to happen and stood in front of him, not sure of what to do.
"Have a seat." All Might had his elbows braced on his thighs and his hands were clasped in front of him.
"He seems different." She thought as she sat down in front of him on the other sofa.
"You went through a lot, huh?" He lifted his head to give her an apologetic look. "I'm sorry I couldn't be nearby."
"You don't have to apologize for that, All Might." She gave him a kind smile before her face turned serious. "More importantly, what do you want to talk about?"
"I heard that the Hero Killer got a taste of your blood." He licked his finger to emphasize his point.
"Yeah, his power was one that could paralyze someone if he licks the blood." She tilted her head in confusion. "What about it?"
"Remember what I said when I gave you One For All?"
"Eat this." She made the best impression of him.
"NOT THAT PART!" He made a choked sound with a little blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. "I said that it can be passed on as long as you took my DNA."
"THEN DON'T TELL ME, THE HERO KILLER HAS ONE FOR ALL?!" She jumped with widened eyes and crashed onto the ground sending the sofa with her. "Ugh…" She groaned.
"No, that's not it." He made an X with his arms and shot up worriedly but sat back down when he saw her moving in the air along with the sofa back into place. "I thought you might've been worried about that, but...I see...You forgot about it." He rubbed his neck and she laughed nervously. "One For All cannot be transferred to anyone unless the bearer wishes it and it cannot be stolen by force but it can be transferred by force."
For a moment, he didn't say anything.
"One For All was derived from a certain power that existed in the past."
"A power that existed in the past?" Izuku repeated and drew a shuddering breath.
"That power is called 'All For One'." He said, though it sounded like venom coming from his lips. "An ability that could steal other people's magic and make them the holder's, and the one that could give it to others."
"All...For One." Her body was tight and her fingers were clenching around the edge of the sofa seat, her eyes wide open with little edges close to alarm and her voice more unsure than it usually was.
All Might started to explain how magic first showed up in the world, before people had finally figured out how to deal with the changes. After that, laws lost their meaning and the progress of civilization stopped, it turned into chaos. During the time of chaos, there was someone who was the first one to unify all the people and started to steal people's magic and with his overwhelming power, he gained influence.
With his calculating mind he almost ruled over the continent if not for his younger brother, who had a strong sense of justice. He was weak and apparently didn't have any power, All For One forced an ability that could stock power into his brother.
Izuku didn't interrupt at all and just listened until realization flashed in her eyes. "Don't tell me."
"Yeah, he thought that he was powerless but there was something inside him." He spread his large arms and gave her a smile. "An ability to pass on powers! This ability got mixed with the stock power and that's how One For All was born."
She ran a hand through her hair before her gaze wandered to her sword that was beside her with a frown. "But, why a sword? I mean...he could just pass it to a body or someone?" She bit her lip and looked at him again. "I don't know if that makes sense."
"The reason it's not very clear as to why is a sword." He pursed his lips and gave her a wry smile. "Maybe we can look for answers together."
"I would like that." She nodded a couple of times eagerly. "But...Why're you telling me something that happened many years ago? That guy should be dead by now, right?"
"He must have stopped aging...I wouldn't be surprised if he found out in the past a power to make him practically immortal." He hardened his gaze and clasped his hands tightly in front of him. "When it was my turn, I was finally able to defeat him! At least, that's what I thought, he survived and now he is the brain behind the League of Villains."
Izuku drew her bottom lip between her teeth for a moment and raised her head tentatively to find her mentor standing beside the window looking down at her.
"You may one day have to fight against this great evil…"
"All Might…" Izuku's shoulders were hunched up around her ears in shame for what she was about to say. "I think...that my biological father is involved with the League of Villains."
All Might looked at her with surprise in his eyes with something close to alarm and his mouth was wide open, the room was filled with a painful silence and Izuku tried not to let it get to her but ended up wincing noticeably. Her mentor came around her and sat back down in front of her to give her a reassuring smile for her to continue.
"It all started when I couldn't develop my magic...I was a late bloomer."
"Ochako-chan." Izuku looked at the dark alley in suspicion, for the past few minutes since she and her brunette friend went out to buy something, Izuku had the strange feeling that they were being followed or more she was being followed."Go ahead, I'll catch up to you in a minute." She faked a smile as she faced her friend again.
"You sure?"
"I'm sure."
A hand reached out in the dark and tried to grab her neck, she jumped sideways and with a swift moment the mysterious person was being pushed into the wall with her magic.
"Why're you following me?" Izuku growled as she walked through the alley and her eyes flashed a dangerous green in the dark.
"What a coincidence! We meet again!" Tomura gave her a creepy smile. "Izuku Midoriya." He added.
"Tell me one good reason for not to kick your ass into oblivion." Izuku's hands were painfully tightened into fists at her sides. "I'll be okay if you don't touch me with your hands, right?" Her voice coming out clean and steady, despite her fear. "What? No Nomus?"
"That isn't very plus ultra of you." He said through gritted teeth when she started to press his neck painfully with her mind.
"That's rich." Izuku paused and raised her eyebrows, her lips turning into a feral snarl and approached him slowly. "Coming from you." She stopped in front of him. "Tomura Fucking Shigaraki." Izuku spat with disdain.
"Okay, there was no need to put the fucking in the middle of my name." Tomura said, clearly offended. "I want to talk to you."
"...That's it?" She frowned in disbelief.
"That's all." He groaned. "Can you let me go?"
"Why would I do that? I don't know you and I definitely don't fucking trust you, chapped lips."
"Look at those people." His eyes wandered to the busy street filled with people, totally clueless that one of the most dangerous villains was standing there. "Even though you could outstand me, what makes you think that I don't have anyone out there to make a ruckus?" He watched her taking a step back, tears of anger filling her eyes and he knew that he had the upper hand. "How can they smile like that? When it comes down to it, laws assume that they have morals and they're convinced that there's no way anyone would do it."
With a gasp, Izuku's eyes suddenly displayed hints of shock that Tomura hadn't witnessed before in her."You're lying." She said through gritted teeth as she knew what he meant.
"Are you willing to risk it?"
She didn't answer.
"I could tell them to take twenty...no thirty people."
"What...do you want to talk about?" She jerked him off the wall and saw him strainghing his back and offering his arm. "Very funny." She said sarcastically and slapped his arm with her mind.
"Now, shall we take a stroll?" He motioned as they walked into the busy streets. "Why don't we sit and have a chat?" He asked and they sat down in the middle of the plaza.
"Some tea and cookies?"
"Yeah yeah, some tea and cookies." He shook his head. "Focus! Let's start with the most important thing here." He paused and she gave him a flat stare. "Me." He whistled and eyed in annoyance at all the children running around them. "Everything pisses me off…"
"What a big surprise." She rolled her eyes and he paused to look at her. "Continue."
"What pisses me off the most is the Hero killer."
"Oh?"
"I didn't acknowledge it, but everyone thought that he was with me and that's the problem." He hugged her shoulders with his right arm and feathered four fingers over her neck.
"Hands off!." She tensed up and stopped his fingers with her mind.
"Remember." He growled and she loosened her power over him."As I was saying...Almost everyone is looking at the Hero Killer."
"Even if the way he did it was wrong, I think he was trying to live up to his ideals." She frozed at the look in his eyes when she turned to him.
"It's like a weight off my chest." He tapped his fingers over her neck once again. "I feel like I've connected the dots as to why the Hero Killer pisses me off and why you irritate me...Everything's because of All Might. What was I worrying so much about? These people are able to smile thoughtlessly because All might is smiling thoughtlessly." He gripped tightly her neck hard enough to bruise and she made choked noises as he continued his revelation but released her neck when he saw a familiar figure in the crowd. "It's because that trash is smiling as if there was no one he couldn't save!"
She coughed a few times and rubbed her neck before looking at him darkly. "Bastard."
"I'm so glad we could talk...thank you, Izuku-chan." He stood up, he searched his pockets for a note and gave it to her.
"What's this?"
"Hey, I'm just passing the note." He shrugged and started to walk away. "We'll keep in touch."
"Wait!" She stood up and he stopped walking but didn't face her.
"What is All For One after?" She released a tearful gasp with her hands clutching at her neck in distress.
"Who knows." He whispered and disappeared into the crowd.
"Izuku-chan look at...this…" Ochako said cheerfully as she approached her friend and when she was just two steps away, she noticed purple marks in her neck. "What happened? Are you okay?!" She grabbed her shoulders.
"Let's go to UA quickly, Ochako-chan." Izuku said quietly and grabbed her hand to walk away in hurried steps.
When the pair of friends arrived at the guild, they quickly went to see Recovery Girl and while the freckled girl was being checked, Ochako ran to call All Might the moment when Izuku explained that a man from the USJ incident intercepted her at the plaza.
"YOUNG MIDORIYA!" All Might's panicked voice rang through the halls, there was a black haired man running beside him, detective Tsukauchi. The legendary hero skipped a few steps until he grabbed her shoulders. "Young Uraraka told me about Tomura! What happened?"
"He came to talk." Izuku touched her bandaged neck. "He asked me a lot of things related to you or more like he wanted an excuse to validate his psychotic views of what is right and wrong." She gritted her teeth and her eyes were filled with rage. "He threatened innocent civilians so I wouldn't kick his ass." She inhaled sharply and felt a hand touching her head softly.
"It's okay." All Might ran his hand through her curls giving her a soothing sensation and she instantly calmed down, leaning into his hand. "I'm glad that you're okay." He let out a surprised gasp when he felt her arms around his middle and smiled seconds later before hugging her back.
"Do you also have times when you don't save everyone?" She whispered in his chest.
"I do." He admitted and she raised her head from his chest. "Someone could be in danger out there right now, It's frustrating but I'm human too." He looked down to stare at her eyes filled with distress. "I can't save the people I can't reach but the symbol of peace remains in their hearts." He finished and gave a side glance at the detective who gave him a proud smile.
"I almost forgot, he gave me this." Izuku handed out the note to All Might while the detective Tsukauchi leaned over to see as well and she grabbed her arm nervously. "I haven't read it yet."
"From your secret friend, let's play a game...Little flower, can you guess who I am?" All Might read out loud the note.
"Does any of this mean anything to you?" The detective asked.
"Yes." Izuku said frowning heavily, there's only one person who would call her like that aside from her mother when she was a little kid and the flower painted in the note was just the confirmation, a blood-colored amaryllis black pearl. "I think that my father is involved with the League of Villains and he's looking for me."
"It's been a long day, you should go to take a rest." All Might placed his hand on her shoulders and nodded at Katsuki who came a few minutes after Izuku explained her suspicions related to his missing biological father.
Katsuki pulled her hand towards the boys dorms, they entered his room at a quiet pace in the dark night. She dragged herself to his bed and took off her green vest while he took off his cape and placed the discharged clothes inside his closet.
"Deku." He took a seat next to her.
"I'm fine." She pursed her lips and bented her head to hide her face with her hair. It wasn't long before her eyes started to burn and tears pooling at the corner of her eyes but she kept her insecurities as subtle as possible.
She was not fine.
She was afraid.
"Deku, look at me."
A single tear fell down her face before more tears started to burst free and there was no way that Katsuki didn't hear the sniffles that came from her mouth as she tried to muffle them with the back of her hand.
"No." She managed to say and she stubbornly shook her head. "My face is ugly right now."
"I don't care!" He grabbed her shoulders in desperation. "Please." He whispered in her ear and the way he sounded, was totally not like him.
Izuku finally looked his way, he framed her face with his hands and he rubbed his thumbs over her cheeks to clean away her tears.
"Izuku." He pressed his forehead against hers and she felt him move his hands from her face to touch the bandages that hugged her neck. "You don't have to be strong around me all the time." His eyes seeing right through her pains and insecurities for the second time, she was surrendering completely to him.
"I-I'm scared." She sobbed after a strong silence.
Katsuki coiled his arms around her and just watched her let it all out, it looked like she needed this so he didn't dare to stop her.
"I got so frustrated...I couldn't do anything, there were too many civilians."
His lips were tight and his brows knitted more as he heard every sob that came from her lips.
"What if my dad uses my mom against me or...you?" She asked and had to lower her chin when his stare turned angry.
"Do you think I'm weak?" His fingers grabbed her jaw and forced her to meet his eyes again. "Don't you dare to look down on me." He growled and she heard the pain behind his angry tone.
"It's because I love you and I just don't want you to get hurt because of me!" She cried and whimpered when his lips were ardently crashed onto hers. Without much of a fight, she let him pin her into the mattress and her legs parted on instinct to let his hips settle against hers.
"Why can't you let me protect you?" He dried the remaining tears from her flushed cheeks.
"Katsuki..." She started but he touched her lips with his thumb to shut her up.
"Let me finish." He released her lips to lace their fingers together and pinned them softly over her head. "You're always trying to protect everybody but," His eyes wandered in anger over her neck and let out a snarl. "Who's going to protect you?" He looked into her eyes, his gaze filled with worry.
"I want to protect you too…" She whispered and he gave her a soft smile that was only for her.
"Then let's protect each other." He lowered his head to kiss her bandaged throat and she closed her eyes as she arched her neck in unconscious welcome. "Fucking bastard...thinking that he can mark my future wife." He snarled and kissed her cheek.
"W-W-WIFE?!" She stuttered, her cheeks turning bright red.
"I'm seriously having second thoughts of taking you away and hiding you from the world...to have you all to myself." He growled hotly in her ear and their lips met once again, his hands left hers to grab her waist and digged his fingers in her flesh.
"Kacchan..." She moaned in his mouth and parted her lips to meet his tongue with her own. She leaned back as she felt that he was rubbing his fingers against where Izuku's shirt rode and encouraged it with his hands.
"You know...I adore it when you call me that way." His eyes stared into hers, desire evident in his eyes and his forehead fell against hers. He pushed his hips against hers making her gasp as she felt his hard and intimidating groin against hers. "I want you so much that it fucking hurts."
"I...we don't have any protection…we don't want little Katsukis or Izukus all over the place right now." She smirked at him before switching positions and she straddled his hips, she grabbed his wrists and pinned on each side of his head so he wouldn't move. "But, I'm sure we can do...some funny stuff…" She searched for the deep red eyes from the man underneath her, his darkened eyes watching every move. She braced her hands on each side of his face, her wild hair falling down making an intimate curtain over their faces. "Can...can I touch you for a while?"
His adam apple bobbed hard as he tried to find his voice, when he couldn't he just kissed her and she placed both palms flat over his chest to break the kiss. He was panting slowly as his chest went up and down, his hands went down to grab her hips and started to play with the beginning of her trousers with his thumbs.
"Fuck." He cursed as he felt her hands sliding down to his sculpted torso and down his abs.
From the way he sounded, Izuku wasn't sure if that was a warning but she didn't care so she lowered her face to leave a tentative trail of biting kisses from the bottom of his stomach and up to his chest. "I've always wanted to do this." She said hypnotised and looked up at him flashing her eyelashes then back to his torso. She traced each line of muscle with her fingers, his strong shoulders, biceps and sexy abs.
She was taking all in.
"Izuku." He said through gritted teeth.
She raked her nails softly over his nipples and loved it when he sucked in quick breaths the moment she caressed his nipples while she licked and sucked his neck. "That's my name." She teased kissing his neck and gasped over his skin as her legs tightened around his hips when she felt his hands squeezing her backside with fervor, probably leaving it red just like her cheeks.
"What? It's impossible not to squeeze such voluptuous ass, Deku." He argued as he saw her embarrassed scowl that she sended at him before he kissed her hard on her lips and groaned when he felt her moving her hips in circular movements against his arousal. "My fucking turn." He grinned in such a way that it made her clench around him more and he switched places so he was hovering over her. They both groaned when he bent her knees to deepen the contact between them and unbuttoned her shirt. "You're killing me, Izuku." He slid two fingers across her collarbone down to the beginning of her trousers and smirked when he felt her panting below his fingers.
"You're teasing me." She panted heavily and yelped when he yanked her shirt off seconds later, she tried to cover her breasts in reflex but he was faster.
"Don't cover yourself from me." He grabbed her wrists and spread them wide open. "I'm living one of my fantasies." He breathed, he kissed just above her boobs and brushed his thumbs her hardened nipples.
"Katsuki, please." She tugged at his hair with shaking fingers as he saw her heaving chest.
"You even have freckles here." He said amused, he grinned before kissing and biting every inch of her skin that was uncovered. He grabbed her ribs and rubbed softly with his thumb below her breast, he kissed between her breasts before he wrapped his lips around one nipple and then the other making her cry in pleasure."You'll have to keep those beautiful cries to minimum if you don't want the others to hear you." He smirked as he placed a hand over her mouth to shut up her cries before placing it back to her ribs. He took his time on each sensitive nub sucking them inside his mouth, biting them a little and then caressing them with his hot tongue while she covered her mouth with one hand and the other gripped tightly the mattress.
"Oh god." She arched her back and her legs trembled as he kissed his way down her stomach.
"Beautiful." He murmured as he kneeled to appreciate the view, her clear skin was covered with love bites all over her stomach and breasts, proud of his handiwork. The sight of her gripping the bed while the other covered her mouth as she was looking up at him with teary eyes because of the pleasure. He lowered to scrape his teeth over each hip bone before sighing over her stomach. "Tell me to stop."
"What? Why?" She raised up on her elbows to look down at him with half lidded eyes.
"I can't get enough of you and..." He kissed her stomach as he nuzzled the spot. "If we don't stop, I'm definitely taking you right here in this bed until you forget your name." He lifted himself up and rested his head over her chest as he hugged her middle. "I love you but I'm not a saint and this won't compare to what I'll do to you when we buy that damn potion." He said huskily and kissed between her breasts.
"I should have bought the potion when I had the damn chance." She pouted and felt him holding her too tightly but it felt good.
"Idiot." He grumbled out.
"I would be nice, though." She said as she played with his hair and he raised his eyes confused. "Having a kid that would look just like you." She said lovingly at his flushed cheeks.
"If you don't stop I'll eat you up."
"Good night."
Author's note:
It seems that Izuku is getting in more and more in trouble.
