Izuku's tail was wagging as he gripped his suitcase
A man in the UA hybrid uniform had a clipboard in his hands
"We're just making sure you have everything ready for him, enough things for his nest and places to hide, etc etc" He waves his hands and izuku lightly jumped
"Yeah–I bought as much as I think I needed, I aint gonna fuck something as easy as that up"
Izuku giggled as the two entered
"We'd like to check the room out before izuku gets attached"
Bakugo places a hand on his pockets and stopped at a door with an all might poster Izuku gasped
"You can open them, you know?'' Bakugo said as he stepped back Izuku's ears twitched with excitement, eager to see how the pro hero had customized his room to fit his hybrid needs.
He opened the door and both gasped
As Izuku explored the room, he noticed that there were several nests of various sizes and shapes scattered throughout the space. Each one looked comfortable and inviting, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief at the thought of having a cozy spot to rest in between missions. (Well, that's why he thinks it's for)
Bakugou noticed his gaze and chuckled.
"Yeah, I figured you'd appreciate those," he said. "I had them custom-made for you, so feel free to use them whenever you need a break."
Hybrid Bunny Izuku nodded eagerly, feeling grateful for the thoughtfulness of his partner, they were partners now! I mean, sure he has to pass the test but with this how could he not?
He also noticed that there was a small section of the room dedicated to hero merch. There were t- shirts, action figures, and other items featuring Pro Hero Bakugou's iconic catchphrase but there were also All Might posters and tons of limited figurines, they looked too much of high quality to be faked
"I made sure to include some of my merch in there too," Pro Hero Bakugou said with a grin. "Figured since you said you were a fan of mines, I added other heroes too."
Hybrid Bunny Izuku chuckled at the comment, feeling a sense of pride at the thought of wearing this. He also noticed that there were several items specifically designed for hybrids, including t- shirts with extra room for tails and hats with ear holes. He was never was he allowed to wear anything to accommodate his hybrid characteristics
Izuku fidgets with his hand, taking deep breaths as he makes sure to stay calm
"I-we assure you he stays calm in a dangerous situation" the male said and bakugou furrowed his
eyebrows
Why was Izuku trying to calm down about having his own personalized room?
"Leave him alone,d he'd never owned anything other than a poster drawn by him, you can enter" bakugo nudged izuku
'I can?!' he signed and bakugos eyes widened before his eyes lowered to izuku's throat, he could barely feel the knot in his throat
"Yeah"
Izuku barely ran inside as he traced his hands into everything, his ears quickly lowering in pure bliss as he touched how soft they felt
"Can you do your own check-up thing while the nerd stays inside?" the blond asked
"Um–I don't know, we wouldn't want him to be attached and you don't meet the qualifications"
Bakugo raised his eyebrow
"In case I don't meet the qualifications? Try me, I'm not the number one hero for nothing"
The worker quickly nodded as he looked around
"With a busy schedule like yours, who cleans?" he asks, ready to write something down
"Once a week I hire a cleaning company if I have been on a mission for days and there are things scattered."
"Where would the hybrid be in youre on a dangerous mission"
"What question is that? Of course, he stays here. What? You want a 5'3 prey hybrid to go on a mission with me?"
"Well, actually, izuku can handle level three disasters, perfect for heroes that stay on the front sidelines, I'll need you to get a communication device with him for actual secret missions, I've been in this industry for 23 years, those always help" he says as he writes things down
Izuku comes out with a /big/ pillow on his arms
"Everything seems more than okay, I'm sorry for having judged you mr. katsuki" "It's whatever" the hero sighed
"Need anything else?"
The man nods
"His new collar, if it's being custom made we can still lend you the UA–" "No need, I got it with me"
Izuku's heart skipped a beat as he stares as the blonde went out to get it
His tail was basically about to fall off as he opened the custom-made package. It was a thin yet strong leather, the inside felt soft and comfortable for his skin, the outside had a name tag neatly sewn into the leather, and there was also a tracking chip and an address tag
He went overboard, but this was just an act to show he was really going to bring Izuku to his missions
"That's–for emergencies. If you're going to be with me in the front lines and you get lost or knocked out, you need my–"
"I love it! Oh I love it so much" He hugs the collar
The worker smiles
"I'll come back next week to make sure everything is going up to code. Midoriya, let's hope the week I visit is the last time I'll see you in person"
Bakugo didn't understand the weird wording but didn't ask
The worker bowed and left
"H-here! Can you put it on me?" izuku asked "..yeah"
Bakugou stood behind bunny Izuku, holding a small, intricate collar in his hand. He carefully fastened it around Izuku's neck, adjusting it until it sat perfectly on the young bunny's fur.
"There," he said, stepping back to admire his handiwork. "Looks good, right?"
Izuku couldn't help but feel a sense of pride at the decoration, even though it served no practical purpose to be pretty other than it to find him. He knew that Bakugou was simply trying to make him feel special, and he appreciated the gesture.
"So, when do you think I'll be ready to go on a mission with you?" he asked eagerly
"Look–I only adopted you so I could go back to her work..alright? You don't have to help me, needing help makes me feel like shit"
"But it's my job"
"You don't have to, you can stay at home or come to me during meetings, fake it"
Izuku frowned
"I understand," he said softly, his ears drooping. "But I just want to help, you know? That's why I'm in the first place."
Izuku wasn't going to force it, he didn't want to be returned, and he couldn't afford to "can...I cook for you at least?"
Bakugo stares at his kitchen "Sure"
Izuku hummed as prepared dinner for the, when izuku asked what to make the blond just said "Surprise me"
So he did his favorite food since he can basically cook that blindfolded
The hero had left him alone to shower, so now it was only him and his thoughts
A hand traces his new collar, the fabric felt expensive but the tightened sensation to remind him he
was collared was not new
He starts cutting the vegetables
Izuku always wished he helped a hero, he would watch the all might scene at least 4 times a day when he was a kit before he was taken away from his Ma'
People always wanted a fancy quiet hybrid, the first hero he was adopted from had kids, and his job was to be a caretaker for them more than being a supported hybrid
Then he accidentally pushed a kid away when he sneaked from behind and harshly pulled on his tail
You'd think the parents would understand that as a prey hybrid, you'd never sneak up on them and harm them but no, he was immediately replaced, luckily UA knew better and didn't write on izuku's report
Ok, so he messed up because he got spooked All his fault
Totally understandable
So he entered the desensitization program for 4 months
His second owner was a support hero, she needed a hybrid to calm her anxiety from what she's had seen
At first, it was fine, she used to say he loved the way he ranted off at the smallest of things and both would watch shows to break it down in their spare time
Then an attack happened
And she was never the same, izuku never blamed her, but he always tried his best to make it better for her, quickly aiding her when she had a panic attack
After a silent dinner izuku asked if she wanted to watch a movie they've always watched, knowing what would happen she would feel safer, but her eyes just–changed
She stood and went out for looking for something, only to come back with tape on her hands
The hybrid stretched and placed the warm food on the table, bakugo just came out from the shower
He was in a tank top, the green hair quickly looked away from the broad shoulders filled with scars, each with a story
He wanted to ask! He wanted to theorize and guess out loud But Bakugo could get annoyed at him
The blond's personality was different from the others, he'd see him in the news, always cursing while he was high from the adrenaline
Izuku knew the blond was special
But izuku has learned to be happy with what he was given, he will never complain He always wanted to be a hero
Both sit down to eat, and the blond compliments the food
But he didn't mind this as well.
