Chapter 3

Deku POV

Todoroki pulled me from the sports festival into a hallway. "T-Todoroki? Is something wrong? W-Where are you taking me?" I stuttered, confused. 'Is he going to tell me that he knows that I'm his mate? What if he's pulling me away from everyone so that he can tell me that he doesn't want me?' I thought, almost giving myself a panic attack. Luckily I was pulled from my thoughts when he started speaking to me.

"Midoriya," He started. "Are you All Might's secret love child or something?"

I looked at him dumbfounded. All Mights…. What?! "I-I no, t-that's not- I'm not-" I say, shaking my hands in front of me trying to explain how wrong he is. Suddenly he grabs my arm, cutting off my stuttering and causing me to blush. "W-what are you doing?" I ask, trying to pull my arm back.

"What is this? Why do you have my quirk as your soul mark?" He asks, staring at my wrist.

My face becomes more red. "I-I," I stutter, trying to think of an excuse. 'Wait,' I thought. 'Why does he sound surprised? Shouldn't he have known that I'm his mate by now? He's seen my quirk.'

"Y-you didn't know?" I ask, tilting my head slightly.

He shook his head, "No, I don't have a soul mark. It's just a circle."

I stared at him, wide-eyed as he realized what that meant. "It's because I'm quirkless," I whispered before going into one of my well known muttering sessions.

"What are you talking about? Midoriya, stop that,"He said, trying to get him to stop and explain things to him.

I looked up into his eyes and said, "I used to be quirkless. That's why it's a circle."

"I don't understand," He said.

"The reason that All Might keeps a close eye on me is because I'm his successor. He gave me his quirk and is training me to be the next Number One hero," I explain.

"How- what? That's not possible. How could he give you his quirk?" He asked, more to himself than anything.

"I had to eat his DNA," I responded, grimacing at the memory.

"Wait- What?" he practically yelled. "He had you-"

"No! No, nothing like that," I say cutting him off, the blush returning to my cheeks. "I had to eat a piece of his hair!"

"O-Oh, ok then." He said, looking away from me.

I sighed and looked down at the ground. "Look," I said, causing him to look back at me. "I understand if you don't want to be my mate or anything, I won't hold it against you. I wouldn't want to be my mate either if I were you. I mean look at me," I gestured to myself. "I'm pathetic. Always crying. I mean, I even tried to kill myself after I thought I lost one of my friends. I'm a mess." I could feel him staring at me but I still refused to look up at him until he put his hand under my chin and forced me to.

"Don't say any of that. None of that's true. I would love to be your mate and don't think anything different," He whispered in a demanding tone.

Tears started forming in my eyes. 'He really wants me?' I ask myself. I wrap my arms around his neck and bury my face in his shoulder. "Thank you," I say as I start to cry. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Todoroki returned the embrace, holding me close to him as I wept, rubbing small circles on my back. "No need to thank me, my little omega," He whispered in my ear.

Bakugou POV

It has been a while and I haven't seen Izu. I decided to look for him. I got up and left the seats that were reserved for class 1A not telling anyone where I was going. I soon found myself in a hallway and heard some people talking.

"Midoriya," someone said. So he's here! I was about to round the corner but stopped myself when I saw that it was Icyhot with him. I decided to stay there to see what happens in case Izu needs my help.

"Are you All Might's secret love child or something?" He asked. I was trying so hard not to laugh out loud and listened to the rest of the conversation. I watched Todoroki grab Izu's arm and figure out that they were mates. 'If he says no I swear I will rip off his balls and shove it down his throat,' I thought, balling my fists.

When I saw Half-n-half hug my little Izu I sighed. I'm happy for him,' I think with a smile. I turn around and head back to the seats, letting the two of them be.

"Hey, Shitty hair!" I call to the only person that I see as my equal (besides Deku of course).

"Hey Bakubro! What's up?" He asks, turning around to look at me.

"Come to school a little early tomorrow morning. I wanna train a bit," I say before turning my attention to the 2 people that were now fighting.

In the end, I end up winning in first place, obviously. As Deku and I made our way to the train station I decided to question him about earlier.

"Hey Deku," I start. "Where did you and Half-n-half go earlier?"

I laugh as he becomes flustered. "I- uh- well," He stutters. "H-he accepted me as his mate."

I smiled down on him. "That's great! I'm happy for you," I say, patting him on the back. "But I will be talking to him next week when we go back to school," I inform him.

"Don't scare him please, Kacchan," the small teen whined.

"Heh, I won't. I'll just let him know what will happen if he ends up hurting you," I say, messing up his already messy hair.
