I Want It That Way
Author's Note: Alright so we are timeskipping by a month after the closure of the last chapter! Shouta is entering his second trimester of pregnancy at the fourth month mark. Rei has officially moved on U.A. Campus. Endeavor is out of the picture, for now (cause I like to cause hell for him and more will come xD). Also I wanted to say, I hope the Alpha/Beta/Omega laws weren't too confusing. I am terrible at explaining things but if you have any questions, I would be happy to try to explain them a bit better! I know the Head Omega laws could come out confusing. I wanted it set up kinda like a step or adoptive parent when it came to children. Since Alphas usually are in poly relationships, I wanted to make it to where everyone in the household/relationship were equal. This fic is probably the only Omegaverse I have were Alphas hold a shit ton of power within the legal system.
We are about to start a new arc and we will be seeing the League of Villains really soon. Mostly because of some certain tags I have involving Dabi. For a chapter or two, we are going to have a nice cool down between Endeavor being a total asshat before I throw any one of these characters back through the ringer.
Additional Notes: Alright so with my last chapter coming from a total plot bunny I ended up with now I'm opening another poll/vote. I'm going to let you guys decide once more. This time for Rei Todoroki. Who do you think Rei Todoroki should be with romantically? It could be anyone. Toshinori? Hizashi? Tsukauchi? This decision can also effect who Shouta is with. Toshinori or Hizashi? Or both? Erasermight did take the lead on the initial vote I had going with Erasermic pulling in second. I wanted to involve both which I made a way in my last chapter. I'm honestly surprised that no one commented on it but I would be cursing Endeavor too and jumping for joy in your place xD. The comments were the last chapter were amazing! So I'm going to let the next... five? chapters go for votes for who I should pair Rei with. I have an idea of my own but I want to hear your thoughts! Honestly, at first I was thinking Hizashi cause Erasermight did win with the most votes but I have been teasing AllEraserMic because so many people recommended it, who knows this might actually happen. So please, let me hear your thoughts!
On the other note: I am almost done with my Erasermic story Chapter One of If Only. Hopefully should be posted soon! I'm focusing a bit more on Love the Way You Lie right now cause I'm entering one of my big plots for the story that is changing the course of what is going on in it. I've also posted my Aizuku story already called Everyday where Shouta is just a teenager and he eventually ends up with Izuku. (I posted this on as well and apparently I am disgusting for coming up with such an idea and it's illegal. Eh, I deleted the comment. Got a good laugh out of it. I'm working on the next chapter and there is a GIANT RANT about it there plus the comment in my author's note. The chapter ain't posted yet but oh boy was I irked a little bit cause I overthought it.)
I have another Erasermic idea in the works that I've happen to fall in love with in which Toshinori is actually a bad guy (well he is still a pro hero but he is the bad guy of the story) in it (I hate myself for this idea but I'm rolling with it). Toshinori is basically in a way... jealous? Is that the word I should use? Of Hizashi and wants Shouta for himself. It's major angst for Shouta but it's Erasermic through and through. I got the idea while watching Law and Order: SVU so if you know that show you probably will guess what it's about just by the name of the show. It is going to be Omegaverse cause apparently that's what I do now.
Well anyway, done with my rambling... ON WITH THE STORY!
Chapter Nine: If Only (by Dove Cameron, Descendants)
Chapter Summary: A month following the failed wedding between Aizawa and Enji, Shouta is adjusting back to life alongside Rei Todoroki. Class 1-A is left in revelations of the events. Meanwhile, Shouta talks with Hizashi over the past few months.
"Your pregnancy is coming along beautifully, Aizawa." Recovery Girl said as she wiped the gel away from Shouta's stomach. "However, you are running a bit warm like you were a couple of weeks ago. I'm going to safely assume that is from Endeavor temperature running hot." She said, writing some quick notes on Shouta's file before placing it to the side.
"So it's not going to effect my pup?" Shouta questioned, sitting back up and slipping his tank top back down over his noticeable swell of his stomach.
Recovery Girl gave him a soft smile. "No, Endeavor has a fire quirk that makes his body run naturally hot. If I had to guess, your pup is going to have something similar." She paused, sitting on her stool next to the bed and looking the Omega directly in the eye. "It can effect you though. You most likely be more prone to heat stroke or fevers for the duration of your pregnancy. I would recommend drinking lots of water and wearing loose, cool clothing. So stay out of the heat as much as possible until your pregnancy is over."
Shouta nodded, not exactly liking the last recommendation from Recovery Girl. "Thank you." He muttered, stepping down from the bed and heading towards the door.
"One more thing, Aizawa." Shouta turned back to face her as she smiled at him once more. "Make sure you are taking your vitamins. You don't want me to have to keep Mic on you." That was definitely a threat at him.
Shouta nodded. "I am." Without another word, he left Recovery Girl's office and started back in the direction of his classroom. Recovery Girl had initially pulled him out of the teacher's lounge and made him go to her office for a check up. Fortunately for Recovery Girl, the students were already heading to their lunch break so he couldn't put it off until after school.
Arriving at his classroom didn't take long. Most of the hero classes took place closer to Recovery Girl's office just because they were heroics students. What were hero students good at? Getting hurt or hurting each other.
He could hear his students laughing and talking from the door. A smile came to his face just by listening to them. Everything was finally getting back to normal.
Well, as normal as it could be.
Rei Todoroki had been living on U.A. campus for the last month. She had been immediately moved in the day of the court appearance. Hizashi, Nemuri, and Kan had been the ones who gathered her belongings from the hospital and what was left of hers at Endeavor's home. No one wanted to have her relive any bad memories from stepping foot into the home.
She was adjusting well. Cementoss and Nezu had gotten a small apartment built for her right beside Shouta's. Out of everyone at U.A., besides Todoroki, that she was the most comfortable with had been Shouta.
Shouta was completely thankful for Rei. Within a day, she had already gained the nickname Momoroki. If it bugged her any, she hadn't said. The girls often went to her for advice within the last month over anything related to girls when they weren't comfortable going to Shouta. Shouta couldn't blame him. Despite being an Omega, he was still a man. He didn't understand everything about being a female. Rei helped greatly with that. Todoroki even seemed happier with her presence at the school. It made Shouta feel a bit better knowing something good came out of this entire mess.
Rei was flourishing in her time at U.A. Todoroki had already told Shouta that his mother was smiling more and actually enjoying her life. The Beta wasn't having any break downs or showing any signs that her mental health was falling again. She had little to no worries now. Neither did Shouta. It was refreshing.
Shouta slid open the door and immediately the class quieted down and slid into to their seats. "Alright, so today we are going to be focusing on quirk control today. There will be times that you will need to keep good control of your quirk. Whether it's in a enclosed space or have civilians standing near by." He paused, looking at the different looks he was receiving from his class. For this less only a handful of his students would need help with this. Todoroki and Bakugou were the main too that would need to take this lesson to heart. Midoriya could use some help with it due to the damange that could be caused from the force of his power. Tokoyami could also use this lesson. Dark Shadow had a way of lashing out in the nearby area at times especially in the dark. All of his students could take this lesson for the better but others needed it more. "So get dressed out and we will go to TLC. Cementoss has already arranged the gym for this and Ectoplasm will be there for clones to stand as bystanders."
Once he finished speaking, his class stood up from their seats as he pressed the remote on his podium to release their hero costumes. Shouta gathered up his notebooks that he kept his notes about his students' progress in and a couple more things he would probably need. Looking up, he almost jumped out of his skin as he noticed that Todoroki, Midoriya, and Shinsou were standing in front of him with Uraraka and Asui standing behind them.
"Did I tell you to start getting ready for TLC?" Shouta questioned, not necessarily surprised that his students were standing before him. If there was a way to explain how his class was to him since his pregnancy got revealed to him, he would say concerned, compassionate, and caring. Sato would constantly cook up sweets to bring to class especially when he caught word that Shouta was having a certain craving. Thanks Mic, the little traitor. Yaoyorozu had made him a pillow for his desk chair in the teacher's lounge that would take the pressure off of his pelvis. Jirou made a mix tape of different songs for him to use when he used a small device to block out the sounds of explosions and chaos for the baby. The music device was given to him from Hizashi. Todoroki was constantly checking in on him but Shouta knew that was due to the familial bond between them and the unborn pup. Shinsou of course was always fretting over him when they would train together.
His class definitely turned out to be a bunch of mother hens. Except he's the adult and suppose to be the mother hen of them. Each of them knew he wasn't fragile but in their eyes they were a family and family takes care of family. They made that quite clear during the court appearance. Midoriya most of all pointed it out. The green haired Alpha had called him their father. In reality, Shouta did view all of his students as his pups. They had manged to weasel their way into his heart and after the USJ Incident, he had secretly adopted every single one of them. Now, Todoroki legally is his pup.
His adoption of Shoto Todoroki had sparked a bit of a feud between Class 1-A and Class 1-B. Well, Class 1-A and Class 1-B's Neito Monoma. The boy took every chance he got to say something about the adoption to Todoroki. Todoroki usually just ignored it and let Monoma say what he wanted. No matter what, Shouta knew he would of done it all over again. Todoroki is his son now. Endeavor has no legal standing over Todoroki's welfare anymore and that was thanks to Rei. Like Endeavor had done to her years prior, Rei stripped Endeavor of his parental rights. The adoption gave Shouta rights to Todoroki's welfare. Endeavor was merely a sperm donor at this point. It had all started when Todoroki called him dad in front of them during lunch. Todoroki had been calling him dad since the adoption, which Shouta didn't care. Todoroki is his pup afterall now. Class 1-B only knew of the former bond between Shouta and Endeavor because of Endeavor being at U.A. almost every day. Vlad King had to explain the entire situation after that. Kendou did keep Monoma off of Todoroki's back constantly much to Shouta's relief.
Looking at Todoroki now, he could see the nervousness all over his face. The boy couldn't conceal it away from Shouta's piercing gaze. "Well, we wanted to make sure you were okay.. we saw you with Recovery Girl going to her office earlier." Todoroki muttered.
Shouta's face softened at the quietness of Todoroki's voice. "I'm fine. The baby is fine. It was just a check up on the pup's progress." The Erasure hero stated. His students visibly relaxed as Shouta spoke. "Now, if you would get dressed out so we can start our lesson for today." He quickly shooed them away to their costumes and made a quick exit from the room. Most of the students had already left the room and as he likes to say, where ever his students go chaos seems to follow them.
The walk to TLC didn't take long. Along the way, he had seen most of his students in small groups heading for the training building. The only ones he hadn't seen were the five that hung behind to talk to him. Well, Todoroki talked to him. The others kinda just stood there looking at him.
After five minutes, every one was gathered in the training faculty dressed out in their hero costumes. "Alright, let's get started." Shouta called out.

Every single one of them were exhausted when they drug themselves back to Heights Alliance. Todoroki threw himself onto a pile of pillows on the floor and groaned as he felt his muscles stretch and burn. Bakugou dropped down next to him on his back with his arm thrown over his eyes.
Others found a random spot within the room and got comfortable. "That was exhausting. More than I thought it would be." Shinsou stated, leaning against Midoriya.
Kaminari groaned from where he was on the floor. "You could say that again. It is hard to control my electricity especially with Ectoplasm-sensei's clones nearby playing innocent civilians. I probably failed." The Electric quirk user said.
"That was the point of this lesson, Kami." Ashido said from her position on the couch.
Todoroki poked his head up and looked over to them. "My fire needs a lot more work. I accidently hit three of Ectoplasm-sensei's clones."
"I'm not looking forward to all the homework we are going to get from Mr. Aizawa now." Krishima whined.
The mention of their homeroom teacher made Ashido look up. "Speaking of Mr. Aizawa, didn't you think that it was totally awesome how he just shredded Endeavor in the court?" The pink skinned girl stated, a large grin plastered on her face.
"Endeavor lost everything that day. He lost the rights to his children, his Head Alpha title, his mates. He literally only has his agency now. Ribbit." Asui added.
"The fucker deserved it." Bakugou muttered softly, causing everyone to look to him. It was odd when Bakugou wasn't loud or yelling. Instead he was quiet and not looking to any of them.
Krishima was the first to say something after the silence in the room. "You are oddly calm, Bakugou." Bakugou sighed, leaning up from where he was laying and looking directly to his friend.
"There is no reason for me to be mad anymore. I'm still pissed off over the entire situation but it's done and over with now." Bakugou stated, a scowl on his face as he placed his hand on Todoroki's leg. "All that really matters now is that Mr. Aizawa is happy now and so are we."
Todoroki hummed, his eyes drooping and his head buried in his arms. "What happened in that court room has been a long time coming. Endeavor deserved everything that came his way. My mom endured so much at his hands, my siblings, and than Shouta." He whispered, it was evident in his voice that he was on the verge of crying. His voice and body shook. "Shouta is my father now. That's all that matters."
Shinsou snorted causing Midoriya to elbow him in the side. "What, it's true."
Midoriya chuckled before setting a serious look on his face towards the others. "I don't understand how Mic-sensei is legally Mr. Aizawa's pup's father now, though."
Yaoyorozu perked up from her spot. "I can actually answer that for you Midoriya." Midoriya turned his head until he could see her. Yaoyorozu was sitting in one of the chairs by the wall. "Well from what I heard before we went into the court room, Mic-sensei placed his own scent claim on Mr. Aizawa after Endeavor's went away." She paused, getting out of the chair and moving herself in front of her classmates so Midoriya wouldn't have to strain his neck to look at her. "I asked my parents about it. It's kinda like Mic-sensei signing the birth certificate of a child who is not his. It would make that child legally his. With the raise of dynamics and secondary genders, Alphas can place a claim on a pregnant Beta or Omega who are considered single. With courting laws, if that person is pregnant and the father is out of the picture; then the Alpha or Beta can step up and take legal responsibility of the child. That's what happened in this case." She explained.
Midoriya nodded. "So because he claimed Mr. Aizawa, it was considered courting, and by law it made him the legal father of Mr. Aizawa's pup." He said, mostly confirming the information to himself. Yaoyorozu nodded. "That seems overpowered for Alphas. They could literally scent claim any Beta or Omega and say that their pup is now theirs." Midoriya had a lot of respect for Present Mic but with the entire situation with Endeavor, it was hard to trust anyone with Aizawa. The Erasure hero had been manipulated by Endeavor and impregnated by the said Alpha. Who could say that Mic didn't have an ulterior motive in mind? With everything going on, it was just hard to put his trust in him.
Iida, from his place directly next to Midoriya, leaned forward and took a deep breath before addressing the others. "Well, actually while Alphas do tend to have more power. This specific law actually is in the power of the Omega or Beta. The person who is carrying the pup has to give explicit consent and send in a legal document to the court with their approval of the adoption." Iida stated. "I'm not sure if Mr. Aizawa put on in or not cause he looked pretty surprised when Mic-sensei said he was the pup's legal father."
Todoroki turned from his stomach to his back and looked over to Iida. "He did about two weeks ago. Detective Tsukauchi said the faster the papers stating that Mic-sensei is the pup's legal father are in the better." The dual haired Omega stated. "He also put in for my mom to be his pup's legal representative if he or Mic-sensei is unavailable or any reason."
Uraraka smiled at the mention of Rei. "How is your mom doing? I haven't seen her today." She questioned. It was no secret within Class 1-A that Rei had basically became their mother away from home like Aizawa is their father away from home.
Todoroki felt the smile coming to his face. "She is doing a lot better than I have seen her in a long time. What Shouta did for her, I will never be able to repay him for." He said, his smile never wavering. Just his smile alone made the others smile.
Shinsou frowned slightly. "Speaking of both Rei and Mr. Aizawa, they both gave their permission for you two to bond yet you haven't." The purple haired Omega stated.
Katsuki scoffed, "It's none of your business rather we bond or not. I asked Aizawa for it because I knew it would piss of that flaming bastard." he paused, looking over to Todoroki with a soft look on his face. "I won't ever force you into a bond with me unless you tell me you want it. I'm not going to be like what your father has been doing."
Todoroki smiled again and leaned against the blonde's body. "I know."

Shouta was bundled up in his light blanket with a cup of tea firmly in his hand. Hizashi sat next to him, humming softly as he looked over the papers in his hands. Shouta's body was still running warm and it wasn't helping his nausea in the slightest. Every now and than, Hizashi's fingers would card through Shouta's hair.
Hizashi quickly picked up on Shouta's change in mood and placed his papers down on the bedside table. "What's on your mind, Shou?" The blonde Alpha whispered.
Shouta sighed, leaning up and placing his cup on the other table and turning to face the Alpha. "I heard you and Yagi that day in my room." He said, his voice almost inaudible. "It's just been on my mind for weeks."
Hizashi nodded, his soft look never leaving his face. "So what's bugging you so much about it?" Shouta shrugged, shaking his head as he flopped back against the pillows. "Well something is if you've been thinking about it. You normally just ignore things if you don't care." Hizashi stated, the glint in his eye telling Shouta that he wasn't going to stop pestering him until he finally told him.
Shouta groaned. "Hizashi, I don't know, okay." He paused, taking a deep breath. "Okay, maybe I know something. I know that I'm just so fucking confused about everything. I feel something for Yagi. Like my heart races whenever I see him but at the same time he freaking infuriates the shit out of me. He gave it his all for the people of this country but can't do the same for himself." The rant flew out of his mouth before he could even stop himself.
Hizashi chuckled as he leaned back on the other pillows. "You should know better than anyone that it's hard to pull yourself out of that hero mindset." The blonde stated, his rolled his eyes as he heard the noise of disapproval come from the Omega. "Okay, so when you waltzed into your classroom the first that the students were back after the USJ Incident wrapped like a mummy isn't the same thing that Yagi has been doing all year."
Shouta rolled his eyes. "Shut up, you know that's not what I mean."
Hizashi clicked his tongue. "You know it's the same thing. You are being a hypocrite for doing the same thing and saying it's wrong of Yagi to do the exact same thing."
Shouta shot up from his position and glared at the blonde. "And you know for a fact that I was not doing hero work until I was cleared by Recovery Girl. I just needed to be back at teaching cause those kids needed me." He paused, taking a breath to calm himself down. "Yagi is the greatest hero in the world to date and we know that but knowing full well that his injuries could go against that. He barely eats properly, he allows for himself to get hurt more and now look at him. He is a walking skeleton because of his hero work." He stopped himself again, breathing heavily as he ran a hand through his hair. "He doesn't think about himself. It would crush those kids if he did something stupid again. Even being quirkless now doesn't stop him from trying to be the hero."
Hizashi smiled softly. "Cause Yagi was born to be a hero. He is a hero and I don't think we can just stop him. Now, that's why you are there for keep him from being an idiot and hurting himself more." The Alpha replied, the tone in his voice causing Shouta to huff and fall against the pillows once more.
"I shouldn't have too. He should know." Shouta whispered. "It might get him killed one day."
Hizashi nodded, sliding his arm over the Omega's shoulder. "I honestly think it's more than just thinking Yagi should take more care of himself. I think that you care for him enough to try and make him better himself because you hate to see him this way because you've always seen him as All Might and now that he's Toshinori Yagi that leaves you in this mindset." Hizashi explained. It had been on his mind since he discovered that Shouta had growing feelings for Yagi. Shouta didn't have to tell him but he knew. They had been best friends for years, by now Hizashi knew how to read the Omega like an open book.
Shouta shook his head. "I suppose." He stopped for a moment, taking a deep breath. "I don't know anymore. I heard what the two of you said that day and I just stood there. I had no idea what to do or say... Yeah, I have some growing feelings for Yagi and I'm just so confused." He paused, leaning up and turning to face Hizashi once more. "And I don't know if I have the same feelings that you have for me. I don't know what I feel for you. I can't tell if it's romantic or just platonic. I don't know and it pisses me off." Shouta whispered, tears coming to his eyes as he spoke.
Hizashi shushed him quietly, reaching out and placing his hands on either side of Shouta's face. "Whether you like me or not, I will always be here for you and your pup. Legally, he or she is my pup now too. I will always be here. You are my best friend and when you figure out your feelings, than tell me when. No matter who you are with or if you end up with me or even decide you don't want a relationship. I will be here." The Alpha stated, wiping the stray tears that were falling down Shouta's face.
Shouta smiled softly, sniffling, reaching up and wiping his nose on his sleeve. "How did you find out about that law anyway?" The Omega questioned.
Hizashi grinned. "Tsukauchi. Yagi told him about my scent claim that you asked me for." Shouta's head shot up with his eyes widening. "If we went back in time to that moment, I would do it all over again. I couldn't bare watching you in so much pain and I guess in the end it made me a father. You even put in the paperwork yourself placing me as your pup's legal father."
Shouta sniffled. "I know, I just keep forgetting it. Tsukauchi and Yagi have done so much for me when they could of left me in Endeavor's hands." He muttered.
"Neither of those men would allow for that and you know it." Hizashi stated.
The two fell into a peaceful silence. Shouta shuffled until he was comfortably in Hizashi's side. Shouta felt his eyes slipping shut until he felt a flutter in his stomach, causing him to shoot up into a sitting position.
Hizashi immediately hopped up in concern. "What's wrong?"
Shouta didn't say anything as he placed his hands on his stomach and a smile broke out on his face as he felt it again. "My pup... they're moving." He whispered. Hizashi's face broke out into a smile and he placed his hands next to Shouta's. A small laugh left him as he felt the soft flutter. It wasn't much but it was there.
Shouta felt a laugh leave him. "Oh my god. This is actually real."
Hizashi rolled his eyes. "Of course it is. You kinda have a bump going on."
Shouta's smile only got larger. "It's my pup..." He paused, looking up at Hizashi. "Our pup."
Author's Note: I know I didn't have Yagi or Rei in this chapter but they definitely will be in the next chapter! This chapter was more a transition back into the good times rather than the Endeavor times.
