Izuku's POV~

The rest of the day I spent cooped up in my room, snuggled up in my mates clothes again. I cried for an hour or two before I just ran out tears. I wanted to cry, but I just couldn't anymore. My mom had come by my room, but when she knocked, I told her to just leave me alone. I think she's starting to regret everything she said. I did to, just a little bit though. I meant everything I said to her about giving up on her mate, I just wish I wouldn't have said it.

"Izuku, come down stairs for dinner. We need to have a family discussion." I heard my father say from the other side of the door. I let out a long sigh, not moving from my spot. "Please, your mother's been crying since she arrived back home." He said. The 'please' was a lie. I didn't have a choice and I knew that from his tone. If I didn't go down stairs, they'd come to me and that's worse.

I had a little bit of trouble dragging myself out of bed, but the real challenge was getting down the stairs. I was almost tempted to just slide down them, but then I thought about how hard it would be to stand back up. I'd probably just curl up in a ball at the bottom of the stairs.

I walked into the kitchen first, grabbing a plate and piling the food onto it. Chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans. It smelled amazing and I realized that I hadn't eaten since this morning. I took the plate to the table and sat down, keeping my eyes cast downward. I wasn't in the mood to talk to my parents and they were already eating.

"Are you really going to eat all of that?" I looked up in confusion. My father was looking at all the food on my plate with disapproval.

"Yes?" It came out as more of a question than an answer. I didn't have that much food, a normal amount for a kid my age that exercises as much as I usually do. I had about the same amount as both of my parents did.

"There isn't a good reason for a small omega like you to eat that much. You'll start to put on weight, more so than you already do." He mumbled the last part very quietly, I almost didn't catch it, but I did.

I was still confused. I may be short, but I wasn't 'little'. I have a lot of muscle mass do to all of my summer training with All Might. "I have to eat this much because of how many calories I burn while training." I pointed out. I didn't want to be rude, especially with my father, I just wanted them to know why  I was eating this much.

"Well you won't be training anymore, so you have no reason to eat that much. Besides, no one likes an omega with muscle. You're an omega. You're meant to be small, cute, and able to reproduce. It's your basic role in society." It felt like I was just slapped across the face. I wasn't allowed to train anymore. I was meant to be the perfect omega. Never have I been told that my role in society was to be 'small, cute and reproduce.' I stayed quiet, not knowing how to respond.

"Good. Now we can discuss the issue involving your mother." He said, moving right along. "What you said to her this morning was in absolutely no way okay." I was about to agree with him and apologize, but then he kept talking. "Not only is she your mother, but she's a beta. She's of higher ranking. She demands more respect than that. Now apologize and go back up to your room." He said with a tone of finality.

I gaped at him. Did he just seriously say to my face that my mother deserves more respect than me because she has a higher rank than me? No way. "Excuse me? She's a beta so she automatically gets more respect than me?" I asked back.

I saw the flash of fear on my mother's face, and that's when I knew I should have just stayed quiet. My father silently stood up. Making his way around the table, to my chair, signaling for me to stand as well. I did so hesitantly.

Then he... slapped me?

As Kacchan would have said in this situation, 'he bitch slapped me.' I suddenly had the urge to laugh. So I did.

"Why the hell are you laughing?" My father growled. Normally a growl from an angry alpha would have scared the crap out of me, but my father wasn't the least bit intimidating at this moment in time.

I shouldn't have responded.

"You think a little slap is going to get to me? I was in the hero course at UA. I've spared teenagers that are scarier than you." I said, still laughing hysterically. I mean seriously, I break my arms at least once a week. A little slap is nothing.

I shouldn't have said anything.

I wasn't expecting it. A slap I can understand. It's kind of like when you're little and your parents spank you. It isn't extreme.

Punching your teenage omega son in the face is a whole other ball game. Punching him so hard he falls to the ground. 'That's gonna leave a mark'.

"Get out of my sight before I do something worse." He gritted out. I kept my eyes on the ground as I scurried away. He... he punched me in the freaking face. Who the hell does that?

Once I was safely back into my room, I locked my door behind me, not wanting to take any chances.I slowly made my way back to my bed and curled up. I didn't feel like crying again. I was kind of just numb to anything. I wanted to go to sleep, but I had to wait for my mates to call me. They promised. Class for them probably wouldn't get out until around midnight here.

I waited a few hours, just laying in bed staring at my ceiling, when my phone finally went off. I quickly fumbled for it, and then immediately hitting the answer. They were using Kiri's phone to facetime me.

"You have no idea how hard class was for us after talking to you." Kami said on the other end, taking a deep breath in relief of seeing me.

I smiled at them. "I'm sorry about that. I just... really miss you guys." I said softly.

"Hey don't apologize. We were the ones to ask to talk to you anyways, so it's our own faults." Kami said, laughing a little bit.

"Yeah, so don't~" Kiri started to add to the conversation, but cut himself off. "Izu, what the fuck happened to your eye?" He was growling now, obviously knowing his omega was hurt but in a completely different country. I saw Kami look closely at their screen before gasping. I quickly covered the black eye I had forgotten about.

"I~It's nothing, I just...um I... I ran into a wall! Yeah, it was an accident. I'm really clumsy." It was true, I am a huge clutz, but I don't think they bought it.

"Izu don't lie to us. Who the fuck hit you?" Kiri asked. I was starting to hyperventilate. I couldn't tell them. Who'd want to be mates with someone who's own father couldn't love them?

"N~no one Kiri... I promise." I said, cringing at the lie. I'm very adamant about promises, I can't remember the last time I broke one, until now of course. They dropped it after that, but I could tell they still didn't believe me. We talked for about an hour before I cut Kami off in the middle of a story with a yawn.

"Baby, what time is it there?" Kiri asked me. I rubbed my eyes a little bit while looking for a clock.

"Um, around two am." I said back sleepily. I probably should have lied, but I hate lying to them, besides they would have known and just looked up the time difference.

"Jesus Izu, you need to go to sleep. You look exhausted." Kami said, chuckling a little bit while say I was exhausted.

"No! I want to talk to you guys more." I whined to them. They both gave me disapproving looks.

"You need sleep baby. Just call us again once you wake up." Kiri said.

"But then you guys will be up late." I pointed out. "You guys have school tomorrow. I don't, seeing as I'm going to be homeschooled now." I said with a bitter taste in my mouth.

Kami sighed on the other end. "Go to bed Izu, please." He said.

"Fiiiine I will." They both had relieved looks on their faces. "But, I want to see Kacchan first!" I said with a sleepy grin on my face. I think they actually awed at me.

"Okay okay, I'll go find Bakugou." Kiri said as they both got off of whoever's bed they were laying on.

"Yay!" I whisper shouted. I missed my best friend almost as much as I missed my mates, but they still won.

"I'm a little jealous that you're this excited to see him." Kami grumbled out, causing me to giggle. God I missed them.
