there is a birthday date, all might is there, the media is there, and izuku unfortunately is also present. Aizawa and Yamada may have just found out who Izuku Midoriya is, and that he is alive. Hitoshi is panicking. how could this happen!?

Notes:

I think I will post about half a chapter length (2,000 words) 4 times per month. If I have time I will post a 4,000-word chapter, the only reason I am changing the amount is that I have a bunch of different things going on in my life and it's hard for me to find the time to write this. I am trying my hardest! So expect 2,000-word chapters every week or maybe 4,000-word chapters sometime every two weeks.
Be patient with me if the chapter is posted late, I know there aren't too many people that I'm keeping waiting but knowing there might be one or two people keeps me on my toes.
I have also written a new one-shot that is almost 11,000 words long and it is similar to this fic, if you are enjoying please check that one out!

Thank you to anyone who is reading this and taking the time to read my work.

On another note, I got like 10 different commission offers (on ) for this and my oneshot and I'm dying since there is no way I am paying rn I would love to commission someone but I don't want to pay since I have a situation so I just can't /

Hey also! Tango! (as in Tango's world of fics not me!) Yes I have been listening to the podfic version of this since why not but also I like hearing it so I don't have to reread it if I forget something (that gets annoying when you are rereading every bit but idk how to explain that.) but about the comment talking about the ships, Yes so Tango and Irene are a ship (ship name is cubsong), and Celeste and Amane are as well (ship name Illumisty). Most people don't like the Oc's but I am glad to see you do!

Katsuki lets Izuku put his shoes on before pulling him out the door "On a birthday date."

"Okay!" and now Izuku is happy he went along with it, he could always invite his friends over when they got back.

And so they left.

The cafe they went to was a sweet cafe and it was the cutest place he thinks he has ever been to.

Izuku thinks that if he had the money hewouldcome here more often, however Katsuki is rich and Izuku, not even close.

After the cafe they go on a walk through a park nearby.

They walk to a street filled with shops and stores, Izuku holds hands with his boyfriend as they walk.

Then he sees it, his breath get's quicker and Izuku suddenly feels as if someone cut off his oxygen.

He holds his head "no, no, no, no," he murmurs over and over again.

He feels Katsuki try and help, unknowing of what was happening or what he should do.

Someone walks over to them trying to see if they were okay, "hey is he okay-"

"Stay away from me!" Izuku shouts at the person.

He is nervous, he looks at Katsuki who immediately walks him to an alley a little ways away.

He breathes heavily sliding down the wall once they are in the alleyway, he clutches his chest.

His heart is beating so fast as he thinks in a panicked blurr.

"What was that Izuku?..." Katsuki says, approaching him slowly.

Izuku, still trying to regain his breathing, responds between breaths "this is the spot, where I got out of the car, and ran to your house, and today, is the anniversary of me escaping…" His eyes tear up "I-I saw the car, the same car. I saw it, I thought…" he wipes his eyes, "I don't want to go back!"

Katsuki pulls Izuku into a hug, he gladly accepts; almost melting into the touch as soon as his arms embrace him.

"Shh, I'll protect you. Don't worry." Katsuki says, patting Izuku's hair, "I think you missed a spot, you have some white dye in your hair."

Izuku appreciates the distraction but when he thinks, he notices. "I never dyed my hair white Kacchan…"

Katsuki is very much concerned "What do you mean, your not old so then why–"

Izuku's eyes widened "Shit."

"What? What is it, Izuku!" the blond seems to only get more concerned by that.

Izuku breathes out shakily, "My dad has white hair, it's a side effect from using stolen quirks… on a good day I asked him why he didn't dye it, he told me that no dye works on it."

"Hey, maybe it's only going to be a bit white," Katsuki says in an attempt to comfort him.

"Maybe…"

They sit in silence both thinking of what to say next.

"I AM HERE!" All might announce appearing in the alleyway.

The two are startled and turn to all might, bakugou speaks to his teacher "All Might, what-"

"YOUNG BAKUGOU! DIDN'T EXPECT TO SEE YOU HERE!" they watch as All Might realises his tone is a bit loud in the current situation, "A civilian told me there was a child in distress here and that they may need help. Young bakugou, did you help this young man?"

"I guess–"

"That is quite the heroic act, young man! Very well done!" All Might pats Bakugou's back. "Why don't we head out of the alleyway young man and why don't you take this young one with you!" All Might turns to Izuku "what's your name young man?"

Shit, Izuku is not in costume… What does he say!? Dammit! "Izuku,"

The hero pauses and then nods, he guides the two out. They hold hands but All Might doesn't notice since there is a loud rumbling to their left.

They all turn to see a group of reporters, the media surrounds them in an overwhelming mess of "All Might, how has your time as a teacher at UA been so far?" and "Why have you been seen less on the streets, are you preparing for classes?" and "Did you save these two?" and "who are these two?"

As the media notices the two their attention turns to them, they immediately recognise Bakugou but don't seem to notice Izuku being an old dead kid… huh, strange. "Katsuki Bakugou, were you training with All Might?" someone asks and it clearly ticks Katsuki off.

All Might answers the question however. "Young Bakugou here, helped Izuku here.

A civilian told me there was someone in distress over here and Imagine my surprise when I found Bakugou already helping this young man."

The media seems slightly satisfied and starts asking more questions. The cameras were now focused on the three of them.

This may as well be the biggest story they have had in the past few days since it has been quiet.

All Might stops answering at a certain point and it is clear that he is trying to get the two of them to leave before it escalates.

The two sneak off as all might start to speak again, this time more exuberantly.

"Izu, you good?"

"Let's go home, Kacchan."

"Okay… "

~–~

At the Aizawa household.

Hitoshi was sitting on the couch texting his friend while the TV played, it was on a news station that covered mostly heroes.

Shota was sleeping on the floor in his sleeping bag as Hizashi watched the news while also sitting on the couch next to Hitoshi.

He hears a small gasp from his dad, Hizashi then shakes Aizawa awake, "sho, Bakugou is on the TV with All Might!"

Hitoshi looks up at that and is also interested.

Wait, is that Izuku?

The audio plays and they hear All Might explain the situation "Young Bakugou here, helped Izuku here. A civilian told me there was someone in distress over here and Imagine my surprise when I found Bakugou already helping this young man."

"Izuku, that kid looks familiar" Aizawa mumbles as he has just woken up.

He sits up and Hitoshi sees the processing on his face.

"Doesn't he Kind of look like Mikumo?" Hizashi says staring at the TV

Hitoshi starts to panic but he hopes his parents don't notice, who is he kidding.. Of course they will notice! "Uh, I guess?"

Aizawa hums and so maybe Hitoshi wasn't caught panicking, yet.

"But his name is Izuku not Akatani Mikumo." Hitoshi thinks maybe that will work.

Hizashi thinks for a second as he continues to watch "Wait, Izuku… that name seems so familiar. Doesn't it sho?"

"He reminds me of Verdant. And Bakugou seems very close to this kid. They definitely know each other." Aizawa grumbles.

Hitoshi almost faints at that, this was too overwhelming. Why did his parents have to be Sherlock holmes!? They are so good at seeing the small details.

Aizawa glances over at Hitoshi "what do you think, you're being quiet."

"Uh, I don't know…" is Hitoshi sweating? Yes he most definitely is.

Aizawa peers at him, he is definitely suspicious.

His dad turns back to the TV.

"Maybe look up his name in the police records." Hizashi suggests

Hitoshi tries to see if there is a way to not have his friend be found out. "But don't you need a full name for that?"

"You can find someone with a picture as well and we have a first name which is good." Shota explains to Hitoshi who still had to learn about that.

"But! We don't need to do that," Hizashi comments.

"We don't?" Hitoshi says relief is clear in his voice.

"We can just take a picture of him from the news and look it up. If there are any pictures online they will probably come up and who are we kidding. This kid is your age, he probably has social media!"

"Oh, right…"

Hizashi takes a picture and looks it up, Hitoshi watches as his father's face goes from happy to confused and shocked. "Um, sho? I think you're gonna want to see this…"

"What?-" Aizawa turns and as soon as he registers his husband's face he stops. "Show me."

Hizashi turns the phone to Aizawa and Hitoshi.

Hitoshi sucks in a breath, it was an article about the body found on dagobah beach.

Everyone reads the article."Kidnapped child found dead after almost 8 years!

On August 13 2XXX at 8:56 pm 11 year old Izuku Midoriya's body was found on the shore of dagobah beach skull bashed in. Police suspect whoever kidnapped the child did some kind of experiments since there is a lot of evidence in the form of scars on his skin, whoever left the body likely is the kidnapper. Keep your children safe and take good care of them. This kidnapper is still on the loose."

Hizashi scrolls down to show a picture of the body.

Although they were different ages in the pictures they were still the same person. No doubt about it.

"I remember when the kid disappeared, I patrolled that area at a certain point and I heard about the story a few times." Aizawa says in shock at what they had just found out.

Hitoshi is going to die, how could he let this happen!?

"Hitoshi, are you okay?" Both parents stare at him.

He stands up "I'm going to go to my room, I think I didn't get enough sleep last night…" Then he walks to his room. He can feel his parents' eyes on him.

As soon as he gets into his room he grabs his phone and calls Izuku, He goes to the farthest corner of his room just in case his parents were listening which he doubted they would do.

"Come on, come on, Izuku… Pick up!" the phone goes to voicemail.

"Shoot" he says frustrated and he goes to text him when he notices that he has a message from a group chat.

Izuku surprise Birthday party plan.

Oh! Right! That was today!

The party would be in an hour and he had told his parents that he was going to Mikumo's house for the day.

He had a present and he was ready, Hitoshi thought for a second. It's Izuku's birthday today and he probably doesn't want this bad news, it could wait a day right?

Right.

~~–~~

"That was weird right?" his Husband says.

Shota nods "Very, but we should give him space we can ask tomorrow. He's going to a friend's house today anyways. But Izuku Midoriya."

"Right, the not so dead, dead kid." Hizashi says continuing the thought

"Where is he staying? Maybe with Bakugou since he definitely knows bakugou. But what is their connection? How did he fake his death and why? He was missing for years and they assumed he was kidnapped so why is he alive?" Shota sits on the couch next to his husband

Hizashi sighs "Maybe you could talk with Bakugou? You do have his address right? While Hitoshi is out with his friends you can go over and ask him about it. Maybe Izuku will be with him."

Shota nods "I'll let the detective know once I know more about the situation-"

"No, you should keep this between us just in case it is a fragile matter because if there's something more going on the police may complicate things." Hizashi interrupts Shota but he doesn't mind,

He nods at the idea, "good call."

Hitoshi walks out of his room "I'm going to head to Yamikumo's house now."

"Have fun!" Hizashi says cheerfully.

Hitoshi walks out without another word, after a few minutes sitting in peaceful silence Shota stands up.

Shota puts on his shoes. "Bye, Zashi. I'll let you know how it goes."

"Love you sho, stay safe." Hizashi says, waving him off from the couch.

Aizawa arrives at the Bakugou household shortly after.

He knocks on the door, and soon it opens.

"Hello there, Miss Bakugou. Could I speak with your son?" Aizawa says trying his hardest to be polite.

She nods and shows him inside. "The kiddo is currently out on a birthday date with his boyfriend. I can help you though! What did he do this time?"

They sit on the couch as Aizawa starts "Thank you very much, I just had a few questions about someone that he helped out earlier today, do you know or have you seen this child?" He pulls out a picture from the news today.

Aizawa had not expected the response he got, Mitsuki Bakugou froze in her tracks.

She looked like she had seen a ghost, "W-where did you get that picture…"

"He was on the news today, your son helped him out and then all might had found them. The press got involved but when I looked into the kid I found his name is Izuku-"

"Midoriya. Yes, I know this child…" she looks sad, or happy? Well her eyes are teary that's the point. "Is this real?"

Aizawa hums "Yes, I believe Izuku Midoriya is alive, but it seems you already know who he is. How come?"

She sniffles "I was friends with his mother before she passed, Bakugou and Izuku were inseparable back then. Until the incident."

"Can you tell me more in regards to what happened?" Aizawa asks, this was very important information.

"Inko, the boy's mother had tried to convince everyone that her husband had done it. No one believed her however since there was evidence that he was in America. But she knew that the sick bastard had the connections to make it seem that way. She said that if she died from an injury that I could trust that it was her husband. They never divorced but he was a cruel man and when he left for work Inko was so much happier, I can't Imagine what that boy has been through. But, if what the media was correct about the scars then maybe Izuku also has them. Maybe he is hurt." she says and basically cries at this point.

"Is that them?" Aizawa gestured to the altar with two pictures on it.

She smiles "Yes, but I guess we can take down Izukus now."

He smiles slightly as an act to try and comfort her. "do you have any idea if your son has been seeing Izuku?"

She shakes her head, "the only people she hangs out with are a few of the kids in class plus his boyfriend."

He looked up at that, there was a chance…"What did you say his boyfriend's name was again?"

"Akatani Mikumo."
