Chapter 3 is finished! Apologies for the wait. Had to take some time with the fight scenes, I hope they're long enough!

Thank you so much for all the reviews, follows and favorites! To my reviewers:

Marichanne: Lol, shit happens for sure :D

kibagaaralover18: thanks so much! I wanted to try it so it matched a little with the canon.

SnowyStar3000: Yeeeeeep, deservedly so.

SteamyxhotTub: hope you enjoy it!

Hikari Whitedragon: He's a moron for trying to come in between this beloved couple!

Throughout the whole walk, Endeavor hadn't spoken a word. Considering how mouthy he could be, it scared Midoriya to death.

After a few long seconds, they reached a facility Midoriya recognized as a training simulator used by the pros. Endeavor pulled out a key to unlock the master doors and gestured for him to go in first so he wouldn't run off. He narrowed his eyes at Midoriya's hesitance.

"Boy, I'm a pro hero. I wouldn't risk my reputation to torture you, if that's what you're thinking. I have questions that you're going to answer." Damn, he really got himself into trouble now, didn't he? Not with a villain, but a hero who had the attitude of one.

But whatever this man asks, he was going to make sure Todoroki was unaffected.

Todoroki was with his mother, unaware that his father had approached his mate. Fubuki smiled as her son looked dreamier than usual.

"What are you thinking of, Shouto?" she asked gently, shifting the blanket onto herself on the bed. He blinked, arching back to straighten himself in the visitor's chair.

"Sorry, Mom. I was just thinking." Of course he was. She poked him on the cheek.

"About who?" Alarmed, he moved back in his chair. How did she know? She giggled at his reaction.

"You have the same look I had when I thought of my fated one." She still had that look sometimes. Todoroki blushed a little.

"That's who I'm thinking about," he muttered. Her smile fell to shock.

"Shouto, you-" He nodded, a smile growing on his lips.

"I met him, Mom. I met my fated one." Her hand slowly moved to her mouth, heart beating stronger than it ever had in her chest.

"F-fated…" His heart was beating fast too, probably faster than hers.

"His name's Midoriya Izuku. He's really strong both physically and mentally. You'll like him. He's a good person." As he spoke, Fubuki began to cry happily, embracing her son tightly.

"Does he make you happy?" she asked breathlessly. His throat closed as his eyes threatened to tear up, making swallowing difficult.

"I didn't know I could be this happy," he answered, keeping his voice from cracking.

"Are you going to protect him?" He nodded firmly.

"With my life," he added, his alpha swelling with pride. She pulled away, tears gently raining down her cheeks.

"Having a fated mate is hard, Shouto. Pain is shared. If they feel hurt, you are the one who can wipe their tears away best. When you are angry, they are the ones who will make you smile. And when you have children, the both of you feel bliss. Earn that bliss, Shouto." She smiled again, brighter than he'd ever seen her. "Experience the happiness you deserve to have."

"I know, Mom," he replied, looking away so she wouldn't see the lone tear running down his scarred side. "I know."

He and Midoriya would be happy. He was going to make sure of it.

The training facility was huge, larger than USJ and similar in disasters, but vaster in range. They stood in the middle of an open field with both males looking directly at one another. The door had been secured so no one would disrupt their 'discussion.'

"What did you bring me here for?" Midoriya asked, keeping his voice leveled. He didn't like where this was going. The last time he and Endeavor spoke, he was both praised and insulted by this man. He insulted him back, but still, they weren't exactly even. Endeavor crossed his arms over his chest.

"Your bond with Shouto will end today. You will go to him and tell him that you are breaking up." Midoriya's heart dropped.

"Why would I do that?" he questioned. "Our bond isn't like normal mates. We're fated. Why would I reject one of the only happy instances in my life?"

Happiness. Endeavor snorted at that. These children didn't know ambition. They didn't know how much their decisions could affect their families. They only cared for the present and never thought of the future. Fated mates were people with decided futures that rarely sparked a good legacy. Why deal with it when you can focus on being the best? Coming out on top was true happiness. It brought power, money and bred ambition. That was why he had children.

"You will be pregnant one day," he stated bluntly, pointing at him. "That pup of yours will have your quirks combined. While I admire your strength, I don't want that drawback. You break your bones with each use. Perhaps you need fine tuning, but I don't want that burden with each training session. Shouto is a Todoroki, a family that breeds strong alphas. A Todoroki alpha needs an omega that perfectly complements their quirk."

Midoriya held his tongue about One for All being transferred rather than passed down genetically, but he couldn't stay quiet about this man's disdain.

"If Shouto and I plan on having children, they will be our children. They aren't burdens and," he glared into the man's flaming eyes, "you won't have anything to do with them. If he doesn't trust you, then neither do I."

Endeavor's eyes sharpened. "Trust. Fated pairs trust their companions so well, don't they? I know about the instance when you two finally touched. Practically cavorting in heat."

He resisted the urge to shudder in disgust, focusing on the boy's growing blush. "Yet you knew little of him before. My Shouto is quite temperamental and rebellious these days. While some of that can be pointed to you and your bond, he has always been this way since he was young. He is cold to others, not just me. He can even be distant to his own siblings. While your fated bond gives you two closeness, it won't save you from his coldness."

Midoriya clenched his fists, tempted to try a smash on the man's smirking face.

"He would never treat me like that. You, maybe, but I'm his fated omega. He was the one who kissed me first. And quite intensely, given he's a strong alpha like you say." The last barb was on purpose, looking up at him in earnest. He took a small step back when Endeavor growled to assert his dominance.

"I'm losing my patience, Midoriya Izuku. You will end your relationship with Shouto if you truly care for his future. His family and future are intertwined. In that future, you will not play a role." Separation from Shouto was painful to even think about. He shook his head, unable to voice his objection but getting his point across.

Endeavor growled again, advancing on Izuku for rejecting him again and grabbing his arm.

A small sound escaped Midoriya's mouth brought by instinct. A whimper.

Todoroki and Fubuki were sitting in comfortable silence when Midoriya whimpered, unconsciously sending his distress to his alpha. He bolted off his chair, gripping the windowsill tightly as an unnerving feeling of anguish rocked his core. At his sudden movement, Fubuki jolted.

"S-Shouto?" she asked, uneasy at the wide-eyed look on her son's face.

"He needs me," he answered automatically, his alpha already taking over his movements and making him move towards the door.

"Help him, Shouto," she called out, gazing at him in determination. "You don't know where he is, but trust your instincts."

Not wanting to waste time, he nodded and ran out of the room to follow the scent of his distressed omega. He hurried to change into his hero costume under the feeling that Midoriya was being attacked.

Midoriya growled and ripped his arm out of Endeavor's grip, swallowing down the distress to put on a brave face even though he was scared.

"Don't touch me! I'm not your property. I make my own decisions." Endeavor grit his teeth.

"Your decisions will only affect Shouto's chances of a long-lived legacy, you fool. Wouldn't you do what would make your alpha happy?" Midoriya's Full Cowl was bursting throughout his body. He was sick and tired of this arrogant alpha trying to tear his relationship apart.

"He's happy with me!" shouted Midoriya, pulling his fist back to use his strength at a full five percent. Endeavor's eyes glinted, seeing where he'd strike and knowing how to avoid. He could admire this omega for his sheer bravery, or stupidity, but his quirk was detrimental.

"IZUKU!" Said boy jumped when he heard a familiar voice shout his name, missing Endeavor and falling to the floor comically. Ice froze the door until the lock became brittle like glass. Todoroki burst in, door slamming against the wall hard enough to make a dent. Endeavor crossed his arms over his chest. He came a lot faster than he calculated. Todoroki looked like he gained the quirk to breathe fire, marching up to Izuku and shielding him with his body from the pro hero. His blood was boiling beneath his skin as his alpha thirsted for the blood of whoever distressed his omega.

"I never gave you permission to talk to him," he snarled, looking at his father with pure disgust. Endeavor mirrored his glare, sensing the boy's pheromones exude when he protected his omega.

"Since when do you give me orders, boy?" His voice thundered through the facility, but Shouto wasn't intimidated. He wasn't five years old anymore. He had proven himself to be a capable alpha, though Endeavor was still a worthy hero.

"Of course. Why would someone as arrogant as you even attempt to listen to their son?" Shouto was getting quite mouthy these days and it was starting to piss him off. Seeing danger, Izuku grasped his shoulder and hoped the touch would calm him down.

"Shou-" He was cut off like his calming pheromones when Endeavor tried to establish his dominance through taking over the alpha scent in the facility.

"I am the reason for your existence, your power! You should be listening to me!" Shouto refused to back down even with Izuku's touch. If anything, his touch fueled the hero to protect his love even more.

"So you kidnapped him to get me to listen to you?" His father snorted, finding the idea ridiculous.

"Is he really worth so much? This boy doesn't look like he can even-" Ice encased so fast around him that he paused to look at himself. Rage fueled his fire, matching with the fire in his son's eyes as he registered the insult to his fated omega.

"Don't. Insult me all you want, but if you speak ill of him, I will force those words back in your throat." Izuku didn't want this to continue. Endeavor would've insulted him, but so what? Midoriya, sadly, was used to people talking behind his back or even to his face about his incompetence. He learned to have a thicker skin, though sometimes the words still hurt.

Both Todorokis paid him no mind, though Shouto would do his best to keep him shielded. Midoriya had to at least calm one of them down. Who else but his alpha? He tried again to calm him, a warm hand on his shoulder while he nuzzled his neck from behind.

"Shoucchan, please," he whimpered, lulling him to a tranquil state. His alpha began to quiet down. His mate wasn't distressed anymore so there was no need to lay waste on anyone. He exhaled, visibly relaxing into Izuku's touch.

Endeavor watched their interaction unfold with disgust. He didn't raise Shouto to be so soft. Fated pairs were blind to power. He was throwing away years of training for an omega who he wasn't even going to bite until a year or two from now. His flames ignited to melt the weakened ice around his body, evaporating the drops that dared to remain.

Immediately, Todoroki's adrenaline was back in full swing, pressing forward to keep Midoriya from harm. Sensing danger, Midoriya moved to protect his alpha instead.

Endeavor was seeing red, thoroughly out of patience with the fated pair and enraged at the disobedience of his masterpiece. He didn't raise him to fuck off with some omega. He was fated to surpass All Might. Instead of focusing on his mission from birth, he sought romance and domesticity. He needed to be disciplined. If he had to do it in front of the omega, he would.

Raising his arm covered in flames, he swung down on his son. The fire wouldn't hurt him, but the blow would knock him back. For a split second, Midoriya's instincts were faster than his mate's.

"Shoucchan!" He shoved him back and took the punch, flying back as fire burned fiercely. As Shouto's mate, fire wouldn't do him any permanent burns, but that didn't mean they wouldn't hurt. The punch hurled him back, smacking his head onto the ground in the impact. He was out cold in an instant.

His movement shocked both alphas. Endeavor hadn't meant to hurt the boy as much as he would Shouto. For Shouto, it was like being stabbed in the chest with a blunt knife to see his mate crumpled on the floor. He ran to him and knelt down, carefully turning Midoriya onto his back to see if he was still breathing. He was, thank God, but he was in pain. Shouto could feel his pain, his blood slowly boiling as Midoriya whimpered. He was whimpering for his alpha. Shouto's nervous breathing turned to hyperventilation.

"Y-you…you hurt him…" His voice didn't sound like his own. It was harsher and colder than Endeavor had ever heard him. Inside, his alpha was gaining control and forced him to stop hyperventilating so he could be focused. It demanded dominance and revenge for his omega. Blood needed to be spilt to satisfy him. He gently lowered Midoriya to the floor, a soft pillow of snow forming under his head. His fingertips brushed against his cheek tenderly before the alpha stood up.

Endeavor spoke, knowing that his son would retaliate out of vengeance. "Shouto, your mate is fine. He's still-"

His ears picked up on the sound of ice crystallizing, turning to see that the main exit was frozen with ice pointed menacingly like spears. This wasn't Shouto's typical ice. More ice was crystallizing, bringing his attention back to the fated pair. A dome of ice was forming around Izuku along with the other exits of the facility. An unwelcomed feeling of dread made its way into his nerves, eyes widening when he heard Shouto speak.

"I might have held back after what you did to me and Mom, but not this time. I'm not a kid anymore. You hurt my mate." The room suddenly got hotter until Endeavor realized that fire was being shot at him. He dodged quickly as the flames soared over his head. It was much hotter than his own flames and he was known for his hellfire.

For the first time in years, Endeavor began to sweat. Something wasn't right. His eyes widened when Shouto charged at him, left limbs wrapped in searing flames as he swung a kick at his father. Endeavor jumped back, the kick barely missing his chin. He moved quickly to dodge a sudden burst of ice that erupted from the floor to capture him. All of his movements were wrong. Shouto was more calculating than this. He wasn't using his long ranged attacks and focused solely on offense. He was moving close and attacking to kill him without allowing him time to counterattack. Like a true alpha.

He didn't have time to humor Shouto's development into a masterpiece. While Shouto could believe he was only attacking him, this fight would bring his mate into the fray. Endeavor surrounded a ring of fire around Shouto to distract him, moving towards the ice that protected Izuku and putting a flaming hand on the dome. He grit his teeth at the contact. Not only were his son's flames hotter, his ice could induce frostbite up to his wrists if he hadn't had his own flames. If he was getting cold, then how was Midoriya faring in there?

Neither were safe around Shouto. Even though Midoriya was his fated omega, Shouto could potentially hurt the boy too in this crazed state. Endeavor was getting the sense of deja vu, but it was much more severe in the current situation. He'd have to get the boy out first before dealing with Shouto. This ice dome he put him in was more resistant than usual, irritating him more when it refused to melt under his flames. He'd have to use a more intense hellflame to melt the diamond-like ice. Before he could focus heat, he was forced to dodge another violent outburst of flames.

Shouto's eyes were bloodshot now, widened with madness.

"Get away from him," he hissed, angered by Endeavor's actions to take his mate out of the protection he created. Endeavor stood his ground.

"You're going to hurt your mate." He avoided a torrent of ice hurtling towards him, increasing distance between the pro and the omega. Shouto's expression was crazed, left side burning brighter than it had at the Sports Festival.

"I'm not you," he hissed, venom in his voice. "I won't intentionally harm my mate. I've never wanted that with him. He's my fated omega. My quirk will never hurt him. But-"

A hellish blaze flared out of his left arm, bright red and orange fire narrowly missing Endeavor by an inch. Shouto normally didn't have complete control of his fire, but now it was like he had been using it for years.

"I'm not letting you leave until you bleed." He was going ballistic. Even Endeavor needed help when an ally fell to his own alpha instincts. Maybe he had a better chance since this was his son, but he would need reinforcements with each passing minute. A boy who was meant to surpass All Might would be too strong for anyone else. He was meant to surpass him too.

He grunted as sharpened ice grazed his cheeks, his protective flames barely dulling them.

"Snap out of it, Shouto!" he shouted, unleashing a fire blast towards his son. Instead of dodging, he waved his right hand and an ice shield erected to take the damage, barely scorched by the flame.

'Kill him for hurting your mate.' It was chilling to feel how emotionless his alpha was. That didn't mean he was opposed to the idea. He lifted his left arm for another flame burst.

They both heard a crash from outside the main exit. After a couple brief pounds, the wall next to the exit opened up and several pro heroes came in before the wall was closed up again by Cementoss. Endeavor was somewhat relieved and annoyed to see Aizawa, Midnight, Present Mic, Cementoss, Recovery Girl and All Might. To Shouto, he saw distractions and had to move back when Aizawa's capture fibers reached for him. The other heroes made it to Endeavor, but All Might was checking out the ice dome that held Midoriya.

Present Mic scratched the back of his head. "Geez, Endeavor, what'd you do this time?"

He glared at him. "There's not enough time to explain everything. My son has gone ballistic. He's an alpha."

At once, the heroes' faces darkened. But All Might was smiling widely.

"This ice here," he called out, knocking on it with his knuckles. "Young Midoriya is inside, isn't he?"

"Yes," Endeavor answered, carefully monitoring Shouto's movements. Midnight's hand flew to her mouth in shock.

"He's trying to kill Midoriya?! I can feel how cold it is from here!" All Might shook his head.

"They're fated mates. Young Todoroki's alpha wouldn't stand for his omega to get hurt. His quirk would feel like a light breeze. That's it!" He suddenly shouted, catching their attention. All Might clapped Endeavor's shoulder.

"Then I have a plan! But the rest of you need to keep Young Todoroki at bay. Recovery Girl, stay with me." Aizawa groaned.

"This plan of yours better not be troublesome, All Might."

"Can't help it!" the number one hero chirped. "This entire situation is already troublesome."

Cementoss used his quirk to keep All Might, Recovery Girl and Midoriya shielded while everyone else was engaging with Todoroki's sudden attacks. They were more frantic now that his mind registered that something was happening to his mate that he couldn't see. He had to save Midoriya.

These new attacks were irritating, but with his heightened instincts and quirk, they could be dealt with.

Present Mic stopped screaming and squealed when ice picks were thrown his way, ducking so the ice passed over his head.

"All Might! Are you sure about this?!" All Might grunted a little as his first punch barely cracked the ice. He peered over his shoulder and grinned at his friend with a thumbs-up.

"I can't think of anything else!" Mic fell comically, but it let him dodge a searing hot blaze.

"You jerk!"

Aizawa ignored them, using his carbon fibers when Todoroki was distracted by Endeavor and wrapping them around his student. On instinct, both flame and ice snaked down the fibers to stop him. Aizawa grunted and used his erasing quirk, stopping them narrowly as his eyes focused on Todoroki. A murderous alpha wouldn't be held back for long. Their instincts were on a different scale of a fight or flight response. It was pure survival of the fittest and usually alphas came out on top. Even Midnight's sleep aroma barely made him waver.

"Get off me," he growled, strength obstructed by the fibers.

"Hell no," muttered Aizawa, gripping them tightly so there was no way of escaping. Midnight and Mic ran to help him hold onto the fibers, all three pulling to overpower Todoroki. Endeavor ran to physically hold his son down, but seeing his father only enraged him further. He headbutted him in the chin, knocking him back a few steps and surprising the others with his persistent resistance.

"Endeavor!" called out Cementoss, hurrying to entrap the younger Todoroki in cement. Shouto's reflexes were faster. His right leg swung up and around the fibers leading to the teachers. With dominating strength, he forced his leg onto the fibers, pulling the teachers down.

They fell forward in surprise, Aizawa losing eye contact and giving him his quirk back. Shouto wriggled out of the fibers and struck down on the floor, instantly freezing the three and obstructing Aizawa's view. Mic's mouth was frozen shut to prevent him from screaming. Cementoss used the ground underneath him to sink him down like quicksand, but Todoroki's flames were too hot to create a feasible structure.

"All Might! Hurry!" he shouted, only able to defend as Shouto unleashed a firestorm his way. Now with the others put down, he could now focus on Endeavor.

All Might had enough with the ice dome's diamond hard exterior and dug underneath it to flip it off Midoriya. The boy was still rested on a snow pillow with the bruises on his head cradled by ice. Other than that, he looked like he was sleeping. Recovery Girl hummed.

"He's hurt, but it looks like Shouto-kun was protecting him. Nothing a little kiss won't fix!" she added, pressing her lips on the visible bruises. They healed quickly and vanished, Midoriya wincing as he started to wake up as if from a nap. All Might nodded.

"Good morning, Young Midoriya!" he greeted as the younger slowly sat up. His vision was a bit blurry still, but he could make out the golden hair of his favorite hero.

"A-All Might?" he asked, throat dry and cracking his voice. Recovery Girl stepped back so he could stand.

"What happened to you, Midoriya-kun?" His head felt heavy, but he tried to recall the last moments he could remember before he passed out. Endeavor tried to get him to break up with Shouto, then Shouto showed up and they argued. Last he remembered, he tried to stop Shouto from getting hurt. He gasped.

"Endeavor! He's going to hurt Shoucchan!" he shouted, wildly looking around to find his mate. All Might laughed heartily.

"What's happening is quite the opposite! Come with me, Young Midoriya!" Before he could ask, All Might grabbed him and jetted into the fray.

Endeavor kept his cool, but he was going to be frantic any second now with Shouto relentless with his attacks. It was too hot and cold at the same time. If he stood still for too long, Shouto would freeze him to the ground. As he moved, Shouto's fire was like whips that lashed at any part of his body that was visible for too long. He didn't want to bring harm to his masterpiece, but he didn't want to die by it.

Shouto finally got close and kicked his side with his right leg, ice shooting into the pain that his flames had a hard time neutralizing.

'Kill him with the fire he wanted you to use,' commanded his alpha. Shouto nodded, his left side a tower of fire that scorched the high ceiling of the facility. He'd turn him to ash. All to avenge his mate.

"WE ARE HERE!" a voice shouted, deliberately wedging in between him and his father. His annoyance was short-lived when he saw Midoriya, his omega, his mate, completely healed and thoroughly confused with the whole situation.

"Here you are, Young Todoroki, one Young Midoriya!" The fire was out in an instant. The ice that froze the teachers weakened enough for them to break out. Cementoss practically felt cold when the firestorm around him disappeared into vibrant red flakes.

Midoriya gently reached out to him, his touch making his alpha purr and quiet his dominance. Shouto exhaled deeply and leaned into his touch.

"Izuku…" he murmured, his bloodlust nonexistent now that his mate was here. The green haired boy smiled warmly as he was suddenly taken into his arms. Shouto sat back to the ground, holding Midoriya closely and breathing in his sweet scent. A different feeling began to emerge, the same that appeared when they first touched. He wanted to claim his mate.

He crashed his lips against Izuku's, who didn't put up a resistance as he too fell into the need to be one with his mate. They paid no heed to the world around them for the second time.

The teachers were grumbling as they approached the fated pair, Shouta gagging as he saw his students making out. Only Midnight was squealing at the new development.

"No, no, none of that. That's disgusting. You're both underage." They refused to separate, though it was certain they didn't hear him to begin with. He used his fibers to pull them apart, both forcefully scooting away from each other in surprise.

"No making out. You're too young," scolded Shouta with a glare. Todoroki blinked.

"But we're fated mates." Midnight nodded seriously.

"If they're fated mates, who are we to stop them?" He glared at her.

"They're still underage, you pervert. Both of you are going to be escorted home. By me. Now get up." Todoroki stood up first, offering a hand to Midoriya and pulling him up. They met eyes and smiled at each other before following Aizawa out.

All Might approached Endeavor, who was eyeing all the damage they caused.

"Are you all right, Endeavor?" he asked, grinning as usual. Endeavor snorted.

"Of course I am, you fool. How did you even know we were here?" All Might rubbed his chin.

"I had a feeling, so I asked some of the faculty to come with me," he said vaguely, "I've known about their bond since the beginning. I've had an inkling that Young Todoroki would react just like what happened back then."

He looked over at Endeavor, his smile dropping just a bit. "Remember the incident with our dear friend Rebel Shot?"

Who couldn't? All the top heroes had to be dispatched to contain him.

"You mean that time when he murdered the villains who kidnapped his mate and almost turned against us when we tried to snap him out of it?" Rebel Shot had sent two of his sidekicks to the hospital. His sidekicks recalled seeing a villain, not the kind hero he always was. All Might nodded.

"Yes. No matter if the pair is fated or not, the quirk is heightened to high levels under distress. Alphas not only become stronger, but they lose mental strength to avenge their mate. Omegas and betas have heightened quirks, but their mental state stays intact because they aren't as bloodthirsty. It comes with the alpha inside them berating them for failing to protect their mate. I could only fear the worst when a fated alpha undergoes that state when their omega is in distress. Now I see that in Young Todoroki. Fated and found his mate so young, yet his instincts and strength had even the best heroes sweat under the collar." Endeavor couldn't fault him for saying that. That Shouto wasn't the Shouto he'd known.

"Don't separate them again, Endeavor. The more you try, the more dangerous he becomes." All Might was no longer smiling. "Protective, possessive alphas are sadistic. That increases with age. He could have killed someone today. You have broken a fated bond before, but this is an alpha who has the means to fight back. He isn't Kiyoshi."

Endeavor growled. His alpha was discontent for having his goal challenged, but the need to survive was stronger. Yes, Shouto could have killed him. He sensed that too. He had to stay back. A repeat of this incident was too detrimental.

Shouta dropped them off at Midoriya's with the repeated lecture to not make out and go too far. Inko let them have privacy and ate dinner in the living room with her favorite drama on. Occasionally, she snuck a glance back to watch the pair feed each other like any happy couple.

After cleaning up and letting Inko sleep first, the two sat on the couch and cuddled as they watched an interview the heroes were giving for the damage sustained in the Pro Hero USJ.

"There was a scuffle with an alpha over a distressed omega. While there is quite a bit of damage, Thirteen is confident that the facility will be up and running after two days," stated All Might. The camera panned over to Endeavor, who was glaring at the camera.

"There is no need to bring the media into this. No one was hurt and it stayed within the facility." Shouto scoffed.

"Photogenic, isn't he?" Midoriya's giggle could make him smile for days.

The camera shifted to the scorched walls and ceilings of the facility. The ground was cracked due to the fluctuations of extreme temperatures. While his alpha was proud of his power, his smile fell. So that's what he did when he went berserk. He watched Midoriya's face, who didn't seem at all horrified at the scene.

He took a breath. He was going to kill the cuddly mood, but he had to get it off his chest.

"Are you okay with having me as your fated alpha?" Midoriya bounced against him, looking up with liquid green eyes.

"W-why are you asking me this?" he asked, almost whimpering in distress. Todoroki gestured to the TV.

"You saw what I did. You saw madness. That is what I'm willing to do for you. I don't regret it. I don't hate my instincts for it. But do you?" Dual colored eyes bore into green. Midoriya swallowed, keeping his face and voice leveled.

"Shoucchan, would you be okay with me finding a different mate?" The idea of Midoriya with someone else made his left side steam, but he quickly gained control and exhaled.

"Never, but I'm not asking you to think about my feelings. I want you to think about yours." Midoriya scooted closer to him.

"I am. My feelings are the same as yours. I don't want anyone else as my alpha. Unless you don't want me?" His voice quivered as he thought of Shoucchan holding someone else the way he held him. The arms around his frame tightened.

"I'll always want you." His spine tingled at the alpha scent slowly pouring out of him.

"Then so do I. I won't leave your side as long as you stay by mine." Aizawa's lecture was forgotten as the two kissed deeply, continuing to do so as they retreated to Izuku's room.

Toshinori calmly walked down the hospital's hallway until he reached Fubuki's door. He slowly opened the door with dinner in hand and smiled at Fubuki. She seemed lost in thought, unaware he was coming in and shutting the door behind him.

"Good evening, Fubuki," he greeted. She was pulled from her thoughts, smiling beautifully at him.

"Toshinori. I'm sorry, I was just thinking. Please sit. Shouto brought me some tea. I'll bring you some." He needed it after a day like today.

After getting settled and enjoying dinner, Toshinori spoke.

"Endeavor tried to break Shouto's fated bond with his mate." The shock on her face mirrored past trauma. Memories of her own broken bond came to mind, tears slowly forming in her eyes.

"But they both pushed back and Shouto's instincts took over. Both boys are fine now." Fubuki smiled again, thankful that Enji didn't get his way. All Might blamed himself in the past for not trying harder to figure out why she cried so hurtfully on her wedding, but she never blamed him. She blamed herself more for giving up.

"They're really strong, aren't they? A bond that can't be broken. I feel a little bitter that mine was not like that." Toshinori shook his head.

"He used your emotions and weaknesses against you, Fubuki. He knew you two were powerless to fight back." She sighed, peering over at the man she will always call a hero.

"We didn't. But my Shouto," she smiled tearfully, "he protected his mate. They're going to be okay."

She wiped away her tears as she laughed alongside him.

So I decided to end this chapter here and extend the story to one more chapter. I'm adding Midoriya's heat ;3

Next chapter preview:

"Have you guys…done it yet?"

…

"Look, I get it. You two are teenagers and your hormones work faster than your actual brain. But I'll be damned if you two don't use protection. I'd rather not explain why one of my students who are a fated pair got the other pregnant. Spare me the paperwork."

…

"Shoucchan, I-I-I'm re-really ner-nervous…"
