«3rd person's POV»

"I assume you two know well why I brought you here." Aizawa said sternly eyeing the couple in front of him who were for some reason, silent.

"Look- we didn't want the paparazzi to know-"

"But they somehow did. PDA?" The teacher cut off Bakugo who automatically stiffened.

"Isnt it obvious few of our dear classmates did this?" The blond continued, air quoting the word 'dear'.

"Even if it is, the consequences hurt you and your lover."

The blond cringed, glancing at his lover for a second before answering.

"Is it really a crime to fall in love? Or is it because we're both guys? That's the problem, huh? If it was a girl then you guys wouldve kept shut?" He sighed. "Tch, Bunch of homophobes."

"I would like it if you watch your language and manners."

"I would like it if you stop invading into other people's love lifes and ruining it."

The one among the three who was basically silent the whole time, Todoroki, opened his mouth. And the first question he uttered left the man in front of them in complete silence.

"How did my father threaten you? Your life? Career? Money?"

Todoroki asked with a calm but piercing glare which went right through the teacher. Aizawa started shaking in fear as his knees fell down, dropping him on his ground.

"M-my cats. He threatened to kill all my cats."

Todoroki and Bakugo couldn't understand if they should had just laughed because it was a joke or take it seriously. Fucking cats?

-

Bakugo and Todoroki were in the latter's room, sitting face to face in front of each other with no words spoken. A thick layer if silence embraced them after Aizawa had told them everything and Bakugo had learnt about a certain contract.

"Why didn't you tell me this earlier?" Bakugo's voice was almost inaudible. But the silence helped Todoroki to catch it with no problem.

"I....." Todoroki sighed. It was time for being honest. "To be very honest, I didn't know myself before this week."

The blond exhaled, massaging his templates he said, "look, candy cane, I trust you very much. Maybe even more than myself. And I know you do too. But this new shit Aizawa told me, I-I'm not alright. Why? Why did that fucktart do this without your opinion? Why is he so fucking selfish!"

"Even if he took my opinion, I don't think it would've made any changes of the situation. As for the selfish part..." The dual male sighed. "He's just overly obsessed with surpassing all might and wants me to have a quirk marriage to get a powerful child."

"But I'm powerful too-" Bakugo paused, his eyes doubled.

He had never really thought about it, but now that the topic was brought up, it felt real. He never took a consideration to the fact that he and his boyfriend would never be able to get a child. Maybe adopt someone or get help of a surrogate mother, but it would never be a child of their own. Was this the problem?

For the first time in his life, he regretted. He regretted about his gender. If only he had been a girl, it all wouldn't had happened and his boyfriend's narcissist menace old man would had accepted them. He thought.

Then it ticked him, what if he wasn't good enough for Todoroki? Was he holding onto him? Was Todoroki willing to have a perfect family with a wife and children? Was he just an obstacle for him to have the best life he would eventually achieve?

"What will happen if you disagree with the contract?"

This one question, thre the dual male off guard. No, he wasnt ready to let it out.

"Shoto," Bakugo grasped onto Todoroki's shoulders. "What are the consequences catfreak was taking about?"

"Its.. nothing..." Todoroki barely whispered, looking down at the floor. He was unable to look at Bakugo's eyes. Those adorable eyes would make him let it all out.

"Shoto!" Bakugo shook Todoroki, cupping his face in his palms and forcing him to look up at him. "Tell me!" He yelled.

Tears started to form on the brim of Todoroki's sockets. His cheeks became red from all sorts of negative emotions and he started shaking uncontrollably. It couldn't be helped.

"Katsuki... I swear it's nothing important." Todoroki choked out.

Bakugo stared at the other's eyes for a few seconds with no words. just staring, admiring the emotions running through his eyes and trying to read them. Fear, frustration, anxiety, denial and anything but positiveness was all he could see. Being in such a pathetic state, Todoroki couldn't help but show his emotions he would always hide under his poker resting bitch face. Maybe he was still hard to read, but the blond in a few moments doubled his eyes as realization hit him like a fire truck.

"You wouldn't be able to inherit any of your dad's properties, would you?"

The dual male stopped shaking and froze. Was he that insecure and readable at that moment? Or was it just because Bakugo could read him now no matter what?

"T-tsuki..." A hiccup leaked from Todoroki's mouth but before he could even finish the sentence, he was wrapped in a warm embrace.

"I'm correct aren't I?" bakugo sighed. "it's okay. It's okay Shoto, well go through this together. I told you once and I'm telling your again, only death can do us apart. Nothing else, no one else. Put some trust on those words. They are meant to be kept."

Todoroki sobbed his heart in his lover's hands while just listening to his comforts. He was only bringing the other problems in his life, wasn't he?

At that point, everything was supposed to seem valueless to him. But it didn't. Once again, he saw a burning light full of passion in the darkness. And that was the one and only angelic red rose he adored.

"I'm pretty sure he won't deny. No one will break the contract of vast property only to be with someone society won't accept."

A man with pale fair skin said to another dark haired male, trying to put up a point.

"no, when it comes to love, shoto is stubborn."

"so what are you planning?"

An evil laughter filled the air.

"I'm gonna take back what is rightfully mine."
