Love The Way You Lie
Author's Note: Alright so we are picking up a few weeks following the conclusion of the last chapter. Not really much to note about this chapter so far, so on with the story! Mic will be present in this chapter as well. I have not forgotten about him!
Chapter Four: Walk Away (by Vanessa Hudgens)
Chapter Summary: Aizawa finds out some news he really wished wasn't true. Class 1-A comes together when Aizawa finally breaks. Hitoshi learns Aizawa's plans for annulment and breaking his bond, and he asks Aizawa an important question. Meanwhile, Hizashi is working on his plans unknowingly telling Dabi vital information.
It didn't take a genius to see that Aizawa was wearing himself thin. It's been two weeks since the press conference from U.A. and ultimately a month since Present Mic's betrayal. Everyone could see the change in Aizawa. It was no secret within the school that Aizawa and Present Mic were married and mates and also had a son together. Everyone in the school had been sworn to secrecy to keep Aizawa and Hitoshi's names out of the media. The students and teachers alike watched as Aizawa refused to eat or sleep. More than once Hitoshi had gone to his omega father's room and forced the man to get some sleep.
The bags underneath the Omega's eyes were getting worse, leaving dark bruises worse than before. He was losing weight and thinning out from the lack of protein he was giving his body. Class 1-A made attempts to get Aizawa to even snack on something and even begged the man to take a nap in class when they were taking quizzes. Everything they tried failed.
While Aizawa was stubborn, it was clear he was also in emotional distress and pain. They all could see it, despite Aizawa's attempts to hide behind a facade.
It came sprawling down one morning when the teachers were sitting in the teacher's lounge. Thirteen, Hound, and Snipe were talking to each other over issues some of the students were having in Snipe's class. Midnight was talking with Vlad and Yagi about plans to go out for drinks that night. Aizawa sat at his desk in silence, staring down at the homework assignments from his class. His eyes blurring every so often as he tried to focus on Kirshima's essay.
He didn't even notice when Yagi tried to speak to him. It only caught his attention when the former Number One hero grabbed ahold of his wrist, right on the small scent gland that was there. "Aizawa, are you alright?" The Alpha questioned. Midnight and Vlad's attention was also on the underground hero.
"I'm fine." Aizawa mumbled, looking away from Yagi and back to the papers. Yagi looked at him with concern. Midnight and Vlad had given each other knowing looks. "I have to finish this and go over my plans for my classes training today." The Alpha tightened his grip on Aizawa's wrist forcing the Omega to look back up from the papers.
He's trembling. The Alpha thought.
"Yagi, could you let me go?" Aizawa muttered. Yagi's face flushed as he let go of the thin wrist and pulled his arm back to his side. He whispered a quick apology which Aizawa only hummed in response.
Aizawa's head was spinning. His body ached and craved sleep. He couldn't. Every time he closed his eyes, his dreams turned into nightmares of Hizashi. Hizashi's betrayal replaying in his mind. He didn't want that constant reminder. His own foolishness had blindsided him. It was his fault and now his pup was also facing backlash from it.
The Omega looked at the time and gathered his papers. He wanted to speak to Hitoshi before class started. Once he had everything, he stood up and took a step before his legs gave out from underneath him and his mind swimming. The world was twisting around him. He barely heard Yagi and Midnight yell out his name and arms wrapping around him before the world went dark.
"Yagi, take him to Recovery Girl. I will watch over his class until you get there." Vlad instructed as soon as Yagi had Aizawa in a cradle hold. Aizawa's head leaned against the bony chest of the Alpha with his arm laying across his stomach.
Midnight's eyes watered as she took a good look at her friend. "He's so pale. How did I notice before?"
The others had stood up and walked over after seeing the commotion. "Aizawa-senpai has always been pale. It would be hard to notice for anyone since he always wears his capture weapon unless he's in his room at Heights Alliance." Thirteen stated, sadness radiating the rescue hero's voice.
"None of us noticed." Snipe added. Hound barked from behind to signify that he agreed. Midnight still couldn't help the guilt she was feeling. She has known Aizawa since high school and has been his friend for years. She should have been there for him. She knew Tensei Iida had been reaching out since the news about Present Mic broke but Aizawa hadn't answered back. Aizawa wouldn't talk to anyone. He was suffering while no one seemed to notice.
"I'll be back as soon as I can." Yagi stated, getting up to his full height with the unconcious Omega cradled gently against him.
"Take your time, Yagi-san." Vlad replied, gathering up the fallen papers and placing them with his own. He would finish them and get them back to Aizawa. "I'll have joint training with Class 1-A and Class 1-B. Instead of doing my classes training later, just to it with Aizawa's class." The beta stopped talking for a moment, his eyes settling on Aizawa. "He's been suffering this entire time. He needs someone right now and I don't think any of us but you could really get to him. He respects you, Yagi-san. He will listen to you."
Yagi couldn't reply as he was pushed out of the lounge by Midnight and he rushed towards Recovery Girl's office. He peeked down at Aizawa. "I'm so sorry, Aizawa."
"Mr. Aizawa is late." Midoriya stated as he looked up at the clock once more. He was starting to get even more worried. It was very un-Aizawa like for Aizawa not to be on time. The Omega was, with lack of a better word, anal about time. It was irrational to the man to be late. "Did he say anything to you this morning, Hitoshi?"
The purple haired Omega looked over to him and shook his head. "He was gone when I went to his room this morning. He probably is in the teacher's lounge grading or something." Hitoshi was worried too. His father never ran late. With recents events, who wouldn't be worried?
"Maybe he finally crashed and just fell asleep." Kaminari added. It earned him looks from the others. The door opening caught their attention and to their surprise Vlad King came into the room. The beta's scene was covered in concern. He didn't even try to conceal it and the scent blockers that all the teachers wore didn't do much to hide it.
"Vlad-sensei! Where is Mr. Aizawa?" Iida quickly asked, doing his best to keep the rest of the class quiet.
Vlad stood in front of the class and looked out at the worried faces of Aizawa's students. His eyes fell onto Aizawa's pup and he sighed. There was no way he could try and cover it up even if that's what the Omega homeroom teacher would want. "Eraser fainted in the teacher's lounge. Yagi-san has taken him to Recovery Girl. I will be watching over you with my class until Yagi-san gets here or Eraser is released by Recovery Girl." Hitoshi's eyes were wide and the smell of distress coming from him. Bakugou quickly reaching out and grabbing ahold of Hitoshi's hand and giving him a reassuring squeeze. "Yamada, if you would like... you can be excused from class to go be by Eraser."
"Thank you, sir but my dad would want me to be in class. Even if I wanted to go, he would probably scold me for skipping class." Hitoshi stated. Aizawa always told Hitoshi that his education was important and if he wanted to be the best hero he could be, he needed to take every opportunity he could. "I'll go see him at lunch if he is still there." The Omega stopped for a moment. "Vlad-sensei, could I ask you a favor though?"
"What would that be?" Vlad questioned, his eyebrow perking up.
The purple haired teen looked conflicted. Uncertainty on his face as his mind raced with thoughts. "Could you call me Hitoshi instead of Yamada?"
Vlad gave the boy a soft smile. "Of course."
Todoroki raised his hand gaining Vlad's attention. "Vlad-sensei, if you are watching us... what about your homeroom?"
"Well, we are doing joint training this morning. Eraser was going to have you train at the TLC today until my class got there. Instead, we are going to have all of you there. That way I can keep an eye on all of you." The beta replied. He grabbed the remote that kept the hero costumes of the students in the wall and pressed the button releasing them. "Alright, get dressed and meet up at TLC."
Aizawa groaned as he finally started to come to. His eyes blurring against the harsh assault of light to his senstive eyes. It took a moment before they finally adjusted and allowed Aizawa to see ahead of him. He felt absolutely terrible. The headache that he had was dulled now but his stomach was still in knots from hunger. He felt a tiny bit better sleep wise from the time he was out. He couldn't remember what happened. He knew he was preparing for class and about to leave the teacher's lounge. Than it was blank.
"Aizawa-kun, you're awake." The Omega looked over and saw the face of Toshinori. The lanky Alpha smiling down at him. Recovery Girl was sitting behind him at her desk, looking down at some paperwork in front of her.
"What happened?" Aizawa questioned, his voice hoarse and his head once again pounding from the noise.
Recovery Girl turned on her chair and looked at him. "You fainted in the teacher's lounge. Yagi-san brought you here." She stated, grabbing a few gummies from a jar on the desk and handing them to the sleep deprived Omega. Aizawa moved his gaze to Toshinori. "You gave all of us quite a scare. You are very malnourished, dehydrated and sleep deprived. I couldn't even smell your scent until you were brought into the room."
Toshinori's face turned from smiles to hints of regret and sadness. "You haven't been eating or sleeping, Aizawa-kun. We're all worried. I'm so sorry I haven't been there for you since Mic." Aizawa frowned, he really wished people would stop bringing Hizashi up to him. "It was terrifying to watch one of the strongest people I know just faint before my eyes because of my own carelessness."
The Omega was glaring at Toshinori now. "It's not your responsibility to make sure I eat or sleep. Last time I checked my husband was a villain." He snapped. His mood and temper short. Toshinori's eyes were wide but it didn't stop him from grabbing ahold of Aizawa's hand. It was the first moment he released that an IV from coming from the back of his hand. He looked between the blonde Alpha and Recovery Girl. Both wearing the same expressions. Something was off.
"What's wrong?" Aizawa growled. He didn't like the looks from the two. Recovery Girl got up from her chair and got closer to the bedside.
The nurse looked over some of the fluids to make sure that they were going as planned before she sighed. "Aizawa, you were more malnourished and dehydrated than you should have been. I did some blood work on you as well and found something interesting. Are you still on contraceptives, Aizawa?"
Aizawa's eyes started widening. He knew exactly where Recovery Girl was going with this. He nodded his head and watched as the beta woman frowned. "In the bloodwork, I found suppresents like I should but found a high level of sugar than normal. No signs of contraceptives."
"What are you saying, Chiyo?" Aizawa muttered, not wanting to hear the words.
Recovery Girl gave a gentle smile. "Aizawa, you're pregnant. I need an ultrasound to be sure but from your HCG levels I would believe roughly around two months."
All the air left Aizawa, his chest tightening and tears immediately springing to his eyes. No. No this can't be true. I can't be. His mind raced. "No. You're lying... to me. This... It can't be. I can't be." He denied, not able to finish a full sentence as he struggled to suck in air. He sat up on the bed and clunched at the front of his shirt as only small breaths were making it in.
"Aizawa-kun, please calm down. We can help you figure this out. You just need to calm down." Toshinori whispered, looping his arm behind Aizawa's back while placing one hand on the small of the Omega's back and the other on his leg. "Just breathe with me." A small smile coming to his face as Aizawa started to try to breathe in and out slowly.
It had taken a while before Aizawa was able to calm himself down enough that he was just harshly breathing. Recovery Girl handed over a small glass of water which the Omega took without a second thought. Once the cup was empty, she took it back as Aizawa slumped back against the bed with his arm over his head. "I'm contacting your agency and putting you on leave until I clear you after your pregnancy." Recovery Girl stated, a firm look at her face. Aizawa just nodded, not even going to fight it. "Let the fluids work through your system and I will release you. Try to get a little sleep, Aizawa."
Aizawa moved onto his side, keeping the hand with the IV over his other one. "If I sleep, all I will see is him." Toshinori's face softened even more.
"If I stay here with you, do you think you might be able to get some sleep?" Aizawa blinked up at him, his face flushing slightly. Toshinori had a soft scent. It smelt like sunflowers and freshly mowed grass. It was soothing. The Omega shrugged and Toshinori crawled onto the small bed next to him and brought the tired man into his arms. "Just try at least. Your students need you at your best." Aizawa didn't say anything as he curled into the Alpha and allowed sleep to take him.
Hizashi sat at the bar in his usual spot with Shigaraki to his right and Dabi to his left. "So you didn't kill Hajime?" Yamada growled, his Alpha sneaking through trying to get Dabi to submit. Dabi, being an eccentric Omega, fought it. As if he would let the likes of this Alpha force him to submit.
Dabi worse an emotionless expression and glared at his so called ally. "I didn't have a chance. A nurse walked in before I could. I did give him what you wanted left with him though." He lied easily, having the skills to lie easily to almost anyone from his time on the streets.
Yamada made a noise before taking a drink from his glass that was filled with bourbon. "Fucking figures. That hospital is always swarming." He stopped to place the glass back on the bar. "Lucky for me, they have the message."
"Eraserhead's quirk and his pup's will be a great asset to us." Kurogiri stated. Shigaraki grunted. It was no secret that he was rooting for bringing Eraserhead over. Ever since the USJ, Shigaraki has been obsessed with the thought of bringing the Erasure Hero to the villains.
"Yamada, you need to move quick and do something before those stupid pros get on your trail." Shigaraki added. "Last thing I need is your stupid move to cause something for my plans."
Yamada let out a laugh. "I can have it over quickly. You see my dear little omega is much more predictable than he thinks." This caught Dabi's attention. He slipped his phone out of his pocket and fished through the apps before stopping at the one he wanted. Glancing up to make sure that Yamada hadn't noticed. "They have him off patrols and most likely trapped within U.A.'s barrier but Shouta will get antsy and sneak out. Once he does, he will most likely go to his thinking spot which usually has street cats." The blonde Alpha paused, thinking for a moment. "If I can't get him then, I can easily break into U.A. They tend to forget I know every single flaw in their system and could easily get in. I just have to wait for the right moment. My pup and mate will be coming back to me no matter what." Yamada finished his drink and got up from the chair and disappeared into the back.
Dabi also finished his drink and made a quick exit from the building with his phone in hand. Put a bit of alcohol into Yamada's system and it's easier to get him to talk but only if he knows it's the people he is supposed to be talking too.
I gotta do whatever I can. He thought. It's all for you.
He knew it was risky reaching out to Aizawa like he did. He was sure that Detective Aizawa would get the letter to Eraserhead to warn him. Dabi was going to do whatever he could to keep the Yamadas plans down. Unfortunately, they worked directly with Sensei. Shigaraki had mentioned to Dabi once he hated that Yamada was back with them. That he didn't trust the former hero's motives.
He had to fix his own mistakes that he had made in his life. He had a person that he needed to protect. And he would do that with his life. He came to the League of Villains under the guise of following the Hero Killer. He agreed with some of what the Hero Killer done but he had to have his own plans going in. He wanted to make the world a safer place. For the person that meant the most to him in this world. Nothing would stop him. The key was Shouta Aizawa and Hitoshi Yamada.
The entire day had passed before Aizawa had been released from Recovery Girl. Classes were long over with by this point. For once, he had slept the entire day attached to the side of the former Number One hero. He could smell the Alpha's lingering scent on his clothes. It was comforting. Something in him yearned for it not to end. The comfort. The warmth. He craved it.
Aizawa cursed to himself as tears involuntarly came to his eyes. His Omega called out for his Alpha. Discontent with the Alpha that Aizawa had been seeking comfort from. Leaving the Erasure Hero in confusion. At the time, Yagi had been his life line back to the world from his own thoughts. So comforting. No one else had reached out like Yagi had to him. Yagi had been making an effort and Aizawa had blown it to the side. Even with that, Yagi never stopped trying. He could feel the protectiveness and concern coming off of the Alpha when Recovery Girl had told him that his was currently carrying a pup.
The thought made the Omega stop walking. His hand shook as he raised it and placed it softly against his still flat abdomen. He was pregnant. Pregnant with a traitor's baby. His husband and mate's baby. He bit his lip and growled, causing blood to come seeping through the cut he had just caused. His mouth filling with the taste of metallic.
"Dad?" His head perked up and he turned to see Hitoshi along with his group of friends. Bakugou's arm was protectively around Hitoshi's shoulders while Todoroki, Midoriya, and Iida talked off to the side. Todoroki and Midoriya's hands were laced together tightly as they spoke to Iida. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Hito." Aizawa muttered. Hitoshi frowned. He didn't believe him. Why would he? Hitoshi turned and whispered something to Bakugou and he said a quick goodbye to the others before he walked over to his Omega father. The other four quickly took off towards Heights Alliance as they called out their goodbyes. Aizawa could feel the lingering eyes from Todoroki as the boy walked away with his own boyfriend and friend. Todoroki looked as if he wanted to say something but decided against it.
Hitoshi's scent was comforting. It had filled Aizawa's senses as soon as he walked up. Lavender and mint. The Omega boy didn't say anything as he wrapped his arms around Aizawa's middle and placed his head against the man's chest. "You're not okay, dad. You can stop denying it. It's okay not to be. Please let someone help you." Aizawa shook in his son's arms, looping his own arms around him. Hitoshi released soothing pheromones as he felt Aizawa shake against him. His eyes wideneding as he felt something wet drop onto his face. He looked up to his father's face to see the man's was now covered completely in tears. "Let's go to your room, dad."
Aizawa didn't say anything as he allowed his son to pull him through the doors of Heights Alliance. Some of the students were sitting in the common room and had looked over. Hitoshi glanced at them which stopped any of them from saying anything. The Indigo haried Omega pulled his father to his room and pulled out Aizawa's keycard from his pocket and unlocked it. At this point, Aizawa wasn't even going to question how his son got ahold of his keycard.
The door clicked quickly behind them as it closed. Hitoshi pulled Aizawa over to the bed and sat down. Crossing his legs criss-cross, still holding onto Aizawa's hand. "Please talk to me. If it's not me... than someone. Uncle Tensei or even Aunt Nemuri. Please, you can't keep doing this to yourself."
Aizawa's eyes were now completely tear free as he used the sleeve of his hero costume to wipe the tracts off of his face. "There is something I need to tell you, Hitoshi." Hitoshi perked up. "I'm annuling my marriage with Hizashi and breaking the bond."
A smile came across Hitoshi's face which caught Aizawa off guard. "Thank god. You deserve someone better. Someone who wouldn't attack their own mate like that." Hitoshi stopped, taking in a deep breath. "I also have to ask you something."
"What is it?"
Hitoshi bit his lip. A complusion he had picked up from Aizawa when he was nervous. "Could we possibly change my last name to Aizawa?" Aizawa was a bit taken back. He wasn't expecting that. The pup placed a hand on the back of his neck and looked at the floor. "I don't want to have the same last name as him."
Aizawa gave a earnest smile. "If that is what you want, Hitoshi." Hitoshi smiled and wrapped his arms around his father's neck and buried his nose against the scent gland there. Scenting the man. Hitoshi froze in his arms and pulled back.
"Dad... your scent. It's changed."
Aizawa put on his most serious face before saying what he really wished wasn't true. "Hitoshi... I'm pregnant."
Author's Note: There is the conclusion of this chapter. I have two new stories I'm working on cause I like to overwork myself and my brain for some reason. One is an Erasermic with a de-aged Shouta. I'm either playing with the idea that Shouta is actually only a teenager and All Might is their homeroom teacher (he would be in Class 1-A) or if he gets hit by a quirk that might turn out permanent. I can't decide.
The other is well... it kinda dark and I can't figure out if I want Erasermight or Erasermic. That one Shouta sleeps with Endeavor to keep Todoroki in Class 1-A. Well more that Endeavor coerces Shouta into it. It's also an ABO universe story. Would you guys be interested in reading them? Well anyway, I hoped you liked this chapter!
