Chapter eleven
"The bastard threw away my lunch!" Katsuki ranted on the phone with Izuku who'd called on his break to see how him and the baby were doing.
"Do you need me to come bring you some lunch?" The greenete asked. Katsuki looked down at the half eaten stir fry and chicken with a small grumble "no, he... gave me a different lunch."
"Good, well I should go now kacchan, but I'll see you at home." Deku said before he hung up. The blonde put his phone down on his desk thinking to himself about how much he wanted those noodles.
After lunch the C.E.O called Katsuki into his large office without much of a reason why or any hints to what he wanted. The blonde did as told and hurried to his office fixing his clothes and checking his looks using his phone before stepping into the office. It was a habit he'd picked up in the beginning of his first year working here in the office's, he'd cared so much back then what the C.E.O thought of him, wanting him to like him, think highly of him, but now after all the things he'd done, the things he continued to do he couldn't care less what the C.E.O thought of him as long as he kept his job and got paid well enough he didn't care what the alpha made of him or did.
"Take a seat, Katsuki." The halfie's deep voice called out, he was sitting in his usual spot at his desk, papers nicely stacked and everything organized like always. Todoroki Shoto was a lot of things, perverted, hansy, cold, lewd but sloppy and disorganized he was not.
"Listen, we need to talk about things." The alpha said once the blonde was settled comfortably in his chair "about our baby." He said making it abundantly clear the baby was both of theirs.
"There's nothing to talk about, I don't want your charity!" The blonde snapped back as he folded his arms across his chest with a more than displeased look on his face. "I don't need your help raising it either. I can take care of my kid by myself!."
The alpha pinched the bridge of his nose with a deep frustrated sigh. "How did this end up like this, you should be demanding I take responsibility and make payments." He muttered almost under his breath. That's how it usually works right? Or was he going to never tell him and make off with his kid, never even wondering if maybe he'd ever wanted it.
Katsuki shrugged, looking off to the side as he waited for the alpha to continue or excuse him back to his work. The truth was he saw accepting the alpha's help made him feel as though he was incapable of meeting the expectations to raise a child. Society prone everyone to think he needed an alpha in order to raise his kid properly, but why was it he supposedly couldn't raise them just as well, sure he wasn't an alpha and he couldn't teach it alpha characteristics but he sure as hell could raise one hell of a good kid, he didn't need Todoroki to do that, yet he couldn't help but at least consider the possibility with how earnest and desperate the alpha came off as, it wasn't evident by his expression but the flood of feelings in his scent ranging from frustration to desperation to annoyance all swirling together and laced into his smell.
"I already said N-
"Katsuki... please!, give me a chance." Shoto interrupted, pleading wholeheartedly that Katsuki allow him to be in his child's future even if this meant he couldn't be in Katsuki's. "After time you can change your mind but I'm begging you to let me help through the remainder of your pregnancy and raise our child with you."
Katsuki went quiet, speechless in a way as he couldn't help but consider the alpha. But what would be asked of him? Not to mention he wasn't supposed to have this kind of a relationship with his boss, he didn't get along well with his coworkers and he absolutely despised Shoto's father enough to the point he couldn't stand being in the same room as him. But all that aside, would this really be a good idea? It wasn't like he was making a life commitment by saying yes to his bosses request yet in doing so wouldn't it just be proving the world right, that he needed Todoroki for this baby. An alpha to raise it properly.
"I never wanted this." Katsuki chuckled to himself running his hands down his face as he let out a heavy sigh. "Alright listen, you have thre- no two weeks to convince me, if you fail then after your time is up, you will transfer me to the north plant just across motoa street." He said, folding his arms across his chest as he awaited his reply. He knew he was asking quite a bit and he himself wasn't even sure what the halfie was supposed to be convincing him of.
"Deal." Shoto said, his brows furrowing as a determined look engulfed his features. "I will convince you."
Katsuki nodded, getting up from his chair and giving the halfie an irksome and expectant kind of look. "We'll see." He said fixing his suit and tie before he walked out the door, his heart pounding in his chest as he slumped against the glossed wood door behind him. 'What have I done?' he thought, running his fingers through his hair as he laughed at himself. Todoroki wasn't even supposed to know about the baby let alone actually want it.
He cleared his throat knowing it was cruel to go back now and take back what he said especially after giving the alpha such hope though, he wasn't keen on seeing what the halfie had planned for him in the weeks ahead.
....
The past few days had been like normal, he'd go to work, run some files, make appointments and go for coffee runs. Todoroki just as normal as ever, as if nothing had even happened.
Enji had stopped by a few times shooting him a more than displeased scowl he saw him, 'go fuck yourself' the blonde would think to himself as he returned the scowl with an icy glare of his own.
"Katsuki? Are you gonna eat the rest of your dinner?" Deku's worried voice called out from across the dining room table, pulling the blond out of his small trance.
The blonde looked up from his noodles being shaken from his thoughts and waved a dismissive hand in the air. "Yeah yeah, stop nagging ya pest." He muttered, again picking at his noodles with his chopsticks. "He knows about the kid, hasn't said anything or done anything about it after our last conversation. I'm beginning to think he's gone back on his words. Damn pervert." Katsuki said, exposing his thoughts.
Deku paused for a minute, one of his wolf ears twitching as he heard what the blonde said and taking it into consideration. "Maybe he's just planning something, I don't know... a reservation at a nice restaurant." The greente said as he took a bite of his rice, his emerald eyes fixated on his food. Katsuki raised a brow at him as he finally started eating his dinner but with his taste buds fucked up it was worse than eating sheer worms, he slowly spat his noodles back out onto his plate without so much as even chewing them. "I can't eat it." He sighed, putting down his chopsticks and letting out a small groan "this is it, this parasite is gonna be the death of me, im gonna starve and the little shit is gonna be laughing at my corpse." He muttered resting his face on the table as he slouched in his chair.
Deku opened his mouth to say something about the blonde's remark along the lines of his baby would be dead if he died yet chose not to, in good conscience start something he wasn't prepared to fight nor finish. "You won't starve, if you can't eat the noodles then you can have more of the teriyaki rice, and steamed broccoli." He replied instead. He was pretty sure there was some left and that was the only thing the blonde had eaten off his plate besides the few vegetables he begrudgingly ate all while shooting glares and scowls at the alpha for trying to make sure he was healthy.
"If you try and force another veggie down my throat I will repeatedly smash your face into the table until you're unrecognizable" The blonde seethed glancing up at a very quick to comply izuku. "Yeah, heh on second thought just the rice will suffice." He quickly said with a nervous chuckle, knowing full well he didn't force the blonde to eat anything, he merely insisted he eat some of the broccoli and carrots for the baby's sake, besides he'd hardly seen the blonde eat his veggies, usually he picked them out of his food to throw out later.
Katsuki got up and walked over to grab some more of the rice though he stopped mid tracks cupping his hand over his mouth as a wave of nausea hit him like a semi truck without breaks. He quickly ran to the sink just barely in time when his dinner came back up. The bubbling liquid burning his throat as it came up, leaving it raw and sensitive. He let out a few heavy panting breaths as he felt Deku's hand rubbing comforting circles onto his back. "Fuck this shit! This thing better come out fucking adorable! Or im going to fucking throw it off a bridge! " he angrily growled as he turned on the tap to clean the sink before rinsing his mouth out with a small groan.
"Okay let's get you freshened up." Deku said gently, helping him to the bathroom since he seemed a little unsteady on his feet. "You don't gotta help me I'm fine!" Katsuki said, pushing the greenete's hands away only to have his opposite hand grab onto him.
"Kacchan just.... Be careful." Deku said letting go of him once they reached the bathroom. Katsuki shot him a small glare but it soon crumpled into annoyance before he closed the door, leaving the greente out in the hall to wallow to himself.
He rinsed his face and brushed his teeth though the toothpaste triggered his sickness causing him to almost vomit up again, only more curses leaving his lips. After he was sure his sickness had passed, he stood staring silently at himself in the mirror observing the large loose shirt and sweatpants he had on, he lifted his shirt up, his crimson eyes falling onto his small baby bump surprisingly not too noticeable with his shirt on but with his stomach revealed like this it made him realize how much his baby had grown from the day he found out about it to now.
"So... big already." He whispered poking at the hardened skin of his stomach which was all baby considering he didn't have much of a gut before this. He observed the pear shaped of his stomach, his crimson eyes slowly traveling up his body. 'Just five months and i'm fucking huge' He thought letting his shirt fall, he could hide it considerably well with the shirt so loose and his sweatpants high waisted, wasn't even his shirt, he'd accidentally stole one from Deku when he was doing laundry their clothes getting mixed together, but in the end he was too lazy to get another one on, especially since it was warm and comfortable plus it wasn't like he was bonded or marked by his baby daddy.
"You almost done kacchan? I boiled some tea to help your stomach" Deku called from the kitchen. Katsuki let out a sigh resting a hand on his bump for a moment before he hurried out. "Yeah, yeah I'm coming you old man" he called as he made his way to the kitchen.
"That's mean kacchan, I'm only three months older than you." The greente said with a light pout though his mood quickly changed as he handed the blonde his tea "i have to run and grab a few things, you'll be fine here?" He asked, going to clean up the bit of water he spilled when pouring the hot water into the mug.
Katsuki nodded as he took a sip of his tea, the taste of it not as bad as he thought it would be considering his little shit found almost everything practically revolting, including his once enjoyed flaming hot ramen which he couldn't eat thanks to the fact it made him puke his guts out.
"I'll be gone for an hour at most, don't wait for me to get back if you wanna sleep or watch a movie." Deku said, already starting on cleaning the dishes like he always did after they were done eating dinner.
"Mhm" the blonde said, stroking the greentes snow white and super fluffy cat shira as she jumped up onto his lap and flopped down as she asked for attention from him.
The blonde couldn't help but find the little cat quite cute, even when she stole his food, or took up the whole bed then hissed at him when he tried to move her, he was near ready to strangle the damn thing if it wasn't for Deku who always took care of the situation, asked nicely if she'd move while nudging her, gave him his little something the cat stole whether it be his whole chicken or just some fruit.
Katsuki looked up from the cat, wondering why things were so quiet all of the sudden but soon realized Deku had already left to grab whatever it was he was going out for.
"You didn't hear him leave either eh?" He asked, shira merely looking up at him with wide and innocent ocean blue eyes as she gave a small tilt of her head up at him before curling against his stomach with a soft purr. "Can't even hide it from you" he said to himself as he let out a groan, of course it always ended up like this, shoto got his way and he just had to suffer the ride and consequences that came with it.
He never asked to be the alpha's pet or to end up knocked up or asked for his own mother to hate him and his child, it was all a pain and hurt so badly knowing he had no control over the rollercoaster of his life, it was like once he stepped off one he only merely got into another and was wisped away before he could get off in time.
Maybe he really couldn't do this. He had no clue of what his kids second gender was and he wouldn't be able to teach an alpha, but aside from that, he remembered being told how much pain went into birthing a baby, though before he could start imagining the grueling scene he would be put though in a matter of months, the doorbell sounded causing the cat that had been almost asleep on his lap jump up and run into the bedroom.
With a heavy sigh the blonde got up, wiping away at the white hairs left on him from the cat before opening the door and his eyes falling onto none other then the C.E.O Todoroki standing in the middle of the hall a handful of luscious white roses and small box of chocolates in his hand. He had on a white tux and his hair slicked back.
The blonde's first reaction was to slam the door in the halfies face before he could even get a word out. 'What the hell is he doing here!?' He thought feeling his heart pounding in his chest and his cheeks heat up at the thought that he came just to see him though he quickly pulled himself together before he got lost in his day dreaming. He slowly opened the door again peeking out through the crack at a one bewildered and stunned alpha, he looked over himself fixing his bowtie and even smelling his breath only with a deeper muddled look on his face.
Katsuki let out a small sigh swinging the door all the way open, silently staring at the alpha, the sweet scent of cherries and mint fluttered in causing the alpha to almost seek after it before he remembered he was supposed to be trying to get the halfie to leave him alone.
"Will you allow me to take you out tonight?" Shoto asked, offering the flowers to the blonde with a mischievous kind of look in his mismatched eyes as he waited for the blonde's reply.
Katsuki rolled his eyes but nonetheless took the roses and let the halfie inside. "Let me go get ready." He said spotting shira stroll out of the room. "Careful, he might get you knocked up too" he muttered to the cat as he passed into the bedroom and grabbed a suit and tie figuring if the halfie was dressed like that then they were going somewhere with finer qualities.
He brushed his hair as he got on his dress pants and couldn't help but notice he didn't need a belt for the pants to stay up since they fit almost too perfectly over his bump. He then slipped on the shirt before tucking in into the pants and then slipping on the vest and buttoning it up. Taking a minute to tie the tie but soon gave up and threw it onto the bed deciding he didn't feel like having something clasped around his neck.
After he ate a mint and put on some body products he stepped out of the room to find shoto playing with the cat, he seemed so happy and delighted, so loose unlike how he always seemed so uptight and stern at work as if he pushed down all other emotions, sometimes even emotion at all.
"Ready." Katsuki said after observing the halfie for a moment. Shoto quickly fixed himself as he was aware of the blonde's presence and quickly stood up though when he saw the blonde he froze for a moment before a light blush spread across his face. "You look as pretty as a picture, very prepossessing." He said with a sheepish kind of smile.
"So full of compliments." The blonde scoffed following the halfie out of the apartment and taking his arm as it was offered to him on the walk out and he couldn't but notice the halfie parked oddly far away from the front doors. Now that he was actually next to the halfie going to an unknowing destination the second thoughts started pouring in of all how he could be pulled in with the halfies charm so easily, so much that he would happily walk off the earth with him, then the part of him that wanted nothing to do with him and wanted nothing more than for his pervert of a boss to simply disappear off the face of the earth.
As the blonde got into the halfies car a single thought crossed his mind, dread pooling in from all sides as he reconsidered his decisions. 'Just kill me now.'
