Love The Way You Lie

Author's Note: Hey everyone and welcome back to Love The Way You Lie! So I'm slowly getting back on my writing schedule, and thankfully I have four days off next week! My husband might be home so writing might still be weird next week. I don't know. This chapter has a time jump of about a month since the conclusion of the last chapter. So this chapter is gonna contain two different twists that are pretty crucial to the story.

Additional Notes: So I have started on a few other of my ideas including my Aizuku story which Shouta is just a teenager, once this chapter is complete I will be posting it as well. For some reason my brain came up with another Erasermic story (Omegaverse cause you know why not!) in which Erasermic are married with a child (Eri) and an accident during patrol leaves Shouta deaged back to a teenager. I don't want to say much more on it cause I would give up my ending xD. Well on with the story!

Chapter Nine: Don't Let It Break Your Heart (by Louis Tomlinson)

Chapter Summary: Adjusting to life without his bond, Shouta moves forward through his pregnancy. Hizashi and Dabi have a heart to heart and move on with their plans. Meanwhile, Class 1-A takes a trip to a local mall.

A month of complete utter silence from the villains. There had been no news from Dabi on any plans related to Hizashi. The League of Villains wasn't making a move. The calm was alarming to Shouta. It was abnormal for the villains to be so quiet. Dabi had reported that they had no plans at the moment and Hizashi hadn't made a move.

His class seemed to adjust well to the change. Hitoshi was opening back up again and was smiling freely around his friends. Shouta even found himself smiling again around Nemuri and Yagi. Without the pain of his bond mark, Shouta was finally free. He was even looking forward to the birth of his unborn pup.

He still felt like a piece of himself was missing. A piece that had been missing since Hizashi left. Hizashi completed him and now he was gone. Hizashi left and took a piece of Shouta with him.

Hitoshi was coping better with the loss than Shouta had expected. Hitoshi made the decision all on his own to change his name from Yamada to Shinsou. That is what surprised Shouta the most. In reality, Hitoshi should of broken down completely and denied that Hizashi was really the traitor. Normally a child would try to defend his Alpha father but he didn't.

Shouta was shocked that Hizashi didn't pick up on his pregnancy when he tried to kidnap him. His scent had changed and it was sweeter. More podent than before. It could of been due to the Alpha severing part of their bond beforehand. That had to be the only explanation.

The Omega already had a small swell to his stomach where his unborn pup laid safely within him. Women and Omega males often said that a person would show faster after their first pregnancy. They had been right. He was hitting his third month in and he was already showing. Thankfully, he could still hide it under his loose hero costume at the moment. Only his class, Recovery Girl, Nezu, Yagi, and Nemuri knew of his pregnancy. He wanted to keep in on the down low until he was futher along. His class often commented that he was glowing despite looking so worn out like usual.

His class was definitely something else. Sato and Bakugou were constantly bringing snacks to class that Shouta and the students would share throughout the class until All Might came for his class. Some of them would often ask if he needed anything and other times just ask how he was doing.

Class had went by without a hitch. The normal chaos that followed his class dulled for once and not even Bakugou caused an explosion. Shouta counted it as a win. He made the walk to the teacher's lounge. He had to force his eyes to stay open as he made it to the door and slid it open. As he entered the room, he slid the door closed behind him.

He thanked the heavens that the lounge was completely empty. He slumped into his chair at his desk and leaned his head down against the cool wood of the table. A wave of nausea went through him as he took deep breathes to attempt to make it go away.

He jumped as something was placed on his desk and he looked over his shoulder with wide eyes. Yagi gave him a soft smile as he took a seat at his own desk. "You look like you need the boost."

The Omega looked to the cup on his desk that he could smell the heated tea coming from it. He muttered a quick thank you and took a sip from the cup. "Where the hell did you come from?" Shouta muttered, his cheeks reddening from the fact that it made him practically jump out of his skin.

"The door obviously. You were pretty out of it when I came in." Yagi retorted. Shouta rolled his eyes and took another drink. The tea was definitely helping push the nausea away. "I've been meaning to ask..."

Shouta looked back over to Yagi. The Alpha looked at him nervously. "What would that be?"

"Um, how are you doing? You seem better of course but I've wanted to see how you actually are." Yagi stated, a smile on his face as he spoke.

The Omega sighed. "You know, for once since all of this started I don't feel the constant need to punch Mic's face in. Ever since I broke my bond with him... I've felt free."

Yagi turned in his chair, placing a gentle hand over Shouta's. "Honestly, I was quite surprised when Yamada turned out to be the traitor. The way he looked at you... I honestly believed he loved you."

Shouta closed his eyes for a moment, his hand squeezing Yagi's. "I don't know anymore. My entire life with him was based on a lie."

Yagi gave him an somber look. "I can't even start to understand what you are going through Aizawa-kun. I think there is more to this than we think. Yamada's parents were villains but I think it was more than that. There is something we still don't know yet."

Shouta glared at the blonde. "What exactly are you trying to say, Yagi?"

The Alpha took a moment, just looking at the younger man in front of him before he finally answered, "What I'm trying to say is whatever caused this with Yamada is not your fault. You've been blaming yourself for something you had no control over."

Shouta slammed his free hand on the table, even causing Yagi to jump at the sudden impact. "Yagi, of course I blame myself. I didn't see it. I should of known. How am I suppose to be a hero if I couldn't even notice I was mated to a villain?"

The blonde didn't say anything as Shouta sucked in a deep breath, evening out his breathing. Yagi watched the emotions swimming through Shouta's eyes. "If you are too blame than so am I."

Shouta rolled his eyes once more. "Like hell you are."

"Aizawa-kun, you don't seem to understand. You blame yourself for not noticing but I didn't either. I was the Number One hero and didn't noticed that my co-worker.. my friend... was a villain. If you want to continue to blame yourself, then blame me too." Yagi stated, standing up from his spot. He gave Shouta's hand a reassuring squeeze before he headed towards the door. "Aizawa, you are not alone in this. We all played a part in Yamada's plans. We were his pawns for whatever it was he needed to accomplish. You need to understand that. You are not to blame for his actions. He is."

Yagi left the room, leaving Shouta to his own thoughts. Maybe that was just what he needed to hear. The Omega looked back to his desk back at the tea that was still sitting there. Sighing, he took one last drink before standing up and heading back towards his classroom.

He could hear his students as soon as he got to the door. He wasn't exactly sure what they were talking about but he could hear their laughter. Something he hadn't heard since all of this started. He could even hear Hitoshi's laughs. A smile came to his face as he just listened. He looked to the clock that was located in the hall. Technically it was time for homeroom to begin but maybe just one more minute. His students needed it.

Nervous was not exactly the word to describe what Hizashi was feeling at the moment. He was waiting for Dabi to show up at his apartment and he had absolutely no idea how this was going to turn out. Maybe Dabi would decide to team up with him. He wasn't sure. Kaede told him who Dabi really was and maybe with that information he could persuade Dabi into working with him. He could get him away from the League and just maybe reconnect him with Shoto. As his time as a pro hero, he had seen villains get pardoned of their crimes for assisting hero agencies and the police force in cases. Dabi was already on that rode but when it came down to Tomura Shigaraki is where Dabi would hit his dead end.

Shigaraki is the definition of a man child in Hizashi's eyes. He had been groomed by his grandfather for villainy and too kill All Might when Hizashi failed to agree to it. The main difference between Tomura and Hizashi, Hizashi knew love while Tomura never did. That anger came out on Dabi just because he was an Omega.

His conversation with his grandmother made him think a lot about his situation at hand. His failure to take action is what caused it. He knows now that he should of came clean when he had the chance too. He should have before the training camp and when Bakugou was kidnapped by the villains. In order to keep his idenity a secret, he stayed away. If Bakugou chose to go to the villain side, he would of revealed himself. He couldn't risk Bakugou knowing who he was. He could have revealed himself to Bakugou and gotten him out of the hideout before All Might had to fight All for One. He could of renounced villainy right then and there. Yet he didn't. He had every opportunity to come forward about everything and he just never did.

Now he must face his consequences and hope that maybe something good would come out of it.

A knock on the door brought him out of his thoughts and he quickly made his way to the door. Taking a deep breathe, he opened it to reveal the exact person he was waiting on. "What do you want, Yamada?" Dabi deadpanned. Hizashi just moved to the side and motioned for the Omega to enter the apartment. Dabi hestitated for a moment before deciding to enter the room. Hizashi closed the door behind him and motioned for Dabi to follow him.

He went into the kitchen and pulled out two cups for tea. Pouring the water that he had been boiling and made up two glasses. Once they were ready, he handed one of them to Dabi and took a seat at his dining room table. "Please, sit down." He motioned to one of the free chairs.

Dabi didn't move, instead chosing to stare daggers at Hizashi. "I have no reason to listen to you." The Omega hissed.

Hizashi sighed. "Of course you don't but you might want too." The Alpha stated. "I know you are working with Tsukauchi." Dabi's eyes widened as the words left Hizashi. "I also know who you are... Touya Todoroki."

The cup in Dabi's hand crashed to the floor, pieces of glass and tea spilling around the room. Dabi let out a string of courses from the hot tea hitting his feet. "How the fuck do you know that?" Hizashi smiled. Dabi couldn't believe that the fucker actually smiled. "Only one person knows that! How do you know that?!" Dabi's hand involuntarily lit up in flames. The blue illuminating the room around them. Hizashi slowly stood up, reaching out slowly until his hand wrapped around Dabi's wrist. He pressed his finger into the scent gland that was there. Hizashi's scent was familiar to two different scents that he knew. Hizashi's scent was the mixture of leather and spearmint. Immediately his mind jumped to Kaede who's scent was spearmint and daisies but also her husband Hanabusa's scent that consisted of leather and oak wood. They were the only two that knew of his true identity until Hanabusa's death five years ago. That left only Kaede. "Kaede told you... didn't she?" He felt the betrayal going through him. He knew that Hizashi could probably tell by his scent by now what he was feeling.

Hizashi quietly shushed him. "You never knew my grandfather's last name didn't you? My grandmother always went by her family name."

Dabi stopped for a moment. "Grandmother?"

Hizashi smiled again. "Kaede is my grandmother." He released his hold on Dabi's wrist as soon as Dabi's quirk stopped. "She only told me because she made me see something that I should of known this entire time." The Alpha made a tsk sound as he turned away from Dabi and went back to the table. "Dabi, I need your help."

Dabi narrowed his eyes, his entire body tense as Hizashi moved around the room. "Why would you need my help?"

Hizashi took a drink from his tea as he turned and leaned against the table. "For some reason, Shouta trusts you-"

Dabi snorted. "Maybe cause I was honest with him the minute I went to him." Hizashi couldn't help the roll of his eyes.

"Anyway, my grandmother... she made me realize something. She made me realize that if I really love Shouta and my pup that I can't force them into this." He stopped for a moment, taking in a deep breath as his voice began to shake. "I never wanted this either. I blindly followed my father's orders... All for One... my grandfather... I should of never of allowed it. This isn't my life. Never was."

"Yamada.."

Hizashi lifted his hand. "Please, let me finish." When Dabi didn't responsed, Hizashi continued, "I realized that I don't have to follow this path just because I was pushed to it. I don't have to be a villain. I can be whatever I want to be." He stopped as he looked Dabi in the eye. He got up and took a few steps, bracing his hands on the wall on either side of Dabi. "Neither do you. I know the only reason you are in the League is to make sure nothing happens to Todoroki right? I heard about what your father did. You can change that. You can still protect Todoroki. You don't have to be in the League."

Dabi glared up at the Alpha. "Shoto won't trust me after what I've done."

Hizashi smiled softly. "Maybe he won't but Shouta won't trust me either but we can do something right for a change. The only two that are threats to us are Tomura and my father. Tomura is my grandfather's successor and my father blindly follows him."

Dabi let out a growl. "Yamada, Kaede has done so much for me. I can't turn my back on her."

Hizashi began to grow infuriated. "Dabi, you don't get it. This was my grandmother's idea. She was the one who told me to work with you. God, you are as oblivious as Todoroki is half the time." Hizashi blinked as his head went towards the side with a sting in his cheek. He looked back over to Dabi to see the Omega seething in anger.

"Do not talk about Shoto like that." The Omega hissed.

"Okay, for one Todoroki is oblivious to a lot of things. Once you get to talk to him then you'll understand. Two, just listen for a damn second. You will not be betraying Kaede. Talk to her if you need too. I promise you with my life I will get you out of the League and reunited with Todoroki." Hizashi stated. Dabi stared at him for a moment. The Alpha did anything, trying to get Dabi to believe him. "We both can get out of the League but we have to work together. You still need to talk to Tsukauchi or they will think something is wrong. If you agree, don't mention me. Shouta will think you're a double agent."

Dabi took in a deep breath as Hizashi pushed away from the wall. "Alright." Hizashi looked back at him. "I will."

Class had went by in a breeze. His students didn't mention that he was late to class and they happily went along with their training. Bakugou, of course, spent most of the time yelling. It was aimed mostly at Kaminari and Ashido when they kept messing up. Both of the betas just joking at him each time.

He had spoken to Nezu earlier that morning about taking the students off campus since the League had died down lately. The students had been in lockdown since Present Mic was revealed as the traitor. He knew they were getting ansty of being locked on campus so long. Of course they would be supervised by himself, All Might, and Midnight as well as Hawks and Edgeshot staying nearby just in case.

Shouta looked over his shoulder at his students as they talked among each other. They were currently on the bus going to the mall near U.A. All Might sat in the seat next to him while Kayama took up the seat across from them. None of them were dressed out in their hero costumes. Shouta did, however, keep ahold of his capture weapon just in case if he ever needed to use it. His mind had immediately went to Bakugou when he was going to take it off and decided against it.

It didn't take them long before they arrived at the mall. All Might and Kayama were the first to get off the bus, followed by all of the students and lastly Shouta. Shouta cleared his throat and his class turned their attention to him.

"Alright so stay within eye sight of each other. I know you guys are excited but remember that the League is still out there. We will be nearby if you need us and you have my personal number if something seems wrong." The Omega explained. " You have an hour to meet back up at the food court. We will get something to eat than head back. Alright, you may go." Not a second after he finished talking, the girls had already taken off in a large group. Most of the boys stuck together and went off in the opposite direction. Ashido managed to talk Kayama into following them so at least the girls had a teacher with them.

"I'll follow the boys." All Might whispered before taking off in the direction of Bakugou's group. Midoriya and Todoroki were off at the closest stores looking at different hero merchandise and was still in Shouta's line of sight. Shouta decided to sit down in one of the nearby chairs and wait the hour out. The boys respected All Might so they would listen to him and Kayama would most likely talk fashion with the girls. They could handle them.

The Omega pulled out his phone and started going through the Hero's Radar for any nearby events going on. He knew he was most likely being paranoid but he was responsible for these students. They had their provisional licenses and could technically defend themselves but he still had a lingering feeling.

He peeked back up from his phone to see Todoroki and Midoriya heading back in the direction that All Might and boys had gone. As long as if they stayed together, they were following his rules.

He got up with the sudden need to go to the restroom and headed off towards the nearest bathrooms. This pup was getting more like Hitoshi every single day. He constantly had to go to the bathroom with Hitoshi as well.

Sighing in relief when he made it to the bathroom, he quickly did his business and walked out of the stall to the sink. Scrubbing his hands clean, he reached over and grabbed some paper towels. The hairs on the back of his neck stood up as he heard the door open behind him. He peeked up in the mirror and instantly spun on his feet.

Standing at the now locked door was none other than Kenzou Yamada. The man smirking at him as he walked forward. "Hello, Shouta." Shouta braced his hands on the sink behind him, his grip tight enough that his knuckles turned white. He couldn't help the growl that escaped him as Kenzou took another step towards him. "Now, now, you don't need to get so defensive towards your father in law."

Shouta growled again. "You are not my father in law."

Kenzou took the last stride that he needed and was now pressed up against Shouta. Shouta immediately started to calculate the best route out of the restroom. He didn't have a clue what Kenzou's quirk was but he could still erase it but he would have to be looking at him. "Well you're married to my son."

Shouta hissed out in reply, "Not anymore."

Kenzou smirked again, reaching up and moving some of the ebony locks away from Shouta's neck. "Oh maybe I'm not. Still, Hitoshi is my grandson after all. So in a way I guess I still am." Shouta growled, his quirk activating as he sent out a punch towards the Alpha in front of him. Kenzou caught his hand and made a noise with his tongue. "So fiesty. I knew there was a reason I liked you."

Kenzou tightened his grip on Shouta's wrist, causing Shouta to bit his lip to keep the gasp of pain from coming out. "Shut up."

The Alpha moved his free hand from Shouta's hair to his cheek, cradling the stubbly chin. "My son, you know, wasn't cut out for this life that was created for him. He's done me proud though. One day you will realize that." The words left Shouta in confusion as Kenzou pushed away from him and went back towards the door. Unlocking the door, Kenzou pushed it open and looked back at him. "Oh and congradulations are in order."

The Alpha smiled as he exited the bathroom, leaving Shouta completely alone. Quickly, Shouta pulled his phone from his pocket with his eyes widening. It had already been an hour from the time they had gotten off the bus. How did Kenzou even know he was here? The Omega rushed from the bathroom and went straight for the food court while sending an alert to Hawks and Edgeshot to keep an eye out for Kenzou.

Like promised, his class were gathered alongside All Might and Midnight. A sigh of relief left him when he spotted Hitoshi's notable indigo hair next to Bakugou and Midoriya. His eyes scanned over the other students, doing a head count of the students.

16.

17.

18.

19.

His eyes widened as his heartbeat went up. He recounted and got the same count. Only nineteen out of twenty. He looked over them once more, maybe it was Hagakure he was missing. She was invisible after all. He cursed when he realized she was standing right next to Uraraka. He counted once more. Same amount. He looked over the hairstyles since his class seems to have the most out there hair colors. Only one was missing. Red and white.

"Where the fuck is Todoroki?" He found himself calling out. Midoriya instead spun around and pointed next to him, only to realize Todoroki wasn't there. "Midoriya, where the last place you had seen him?"

Midoriya looked around. "We just went by the candy shop and got snacks. We were side by side. I swear." Shouta didn't even wait for Midoriya to finish before he took off in the direction of the candy store. He scanned over the other shoppers and saw no sign of Todoroki. He was not in the candy store either. He walked another minute before he stopped at the sudden crunch under his foot. He looked down and saw a bag of candy on the ground spilling out onto the floor. He could hear Midoriya behind him whisper, "That was Todoroki's."

"Todoroki!"

Five Minutes Earlier

Todoroki listened as Midoriya talked on about which ever hero was on the nearest merchandise. He wasn't exactly fully listening to the conversation but he popped another piece of candy in his mouth. Their hour was up and they were heading back towards the food court.

Todoroki stopped as he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked over and saw a woman with sky blue hair and red eyes looking at him with a smile. "I'm sorry young man but can you help me find something?"

Todoroki gave a soft smile. "Of course. What is it you're looking for?"

Her smile didn't waver as she said, "You."

Todoroki frowned as the confusion filled him. "Why would you be looking for me? Do I know you?" He questioned.

The woman shrugged. By scent, Todoroki could tell she was a beta and a mated one at that from the bond mark on her neck. "Well no but I know you, Shoto Todoroki."

Something was off. "I'm sorry ma'am but I need to rejoin my class." He went to walk away but immediately ran into another person. He muttered out a quick apology only to stop as he looked at the man. The man looked awfully familiar to Present Mic. The man's hands came up to his ears and Todoroki felt himself losing conciousness. It was as if sound was moving through his ears, making him lose his footing. His eyes slipped shut as he felt the bag in his hand fall from his grasp and everything went dark around him.
