Izuku's POV~

My heart stopped. Standing in front of me were the two people I've spent years looking for, ever since my mate marks first appeared, and I can't do anything. They've gotten over the shock and are currently hugging each other. It hurts a little bit. Not like they're betraying me or anything like that, it's more like longing, because there's nothing I want more than to be in their arms right now.

I feel a soft tug on my wrist and turned to see a blurry Kacchan. I hadn't even realized tears were forming in my eyes. Kacchan's face was soft and understanding. He pulled me into a warm hug, leading us both away from the rest of the class. His embrace was comforting, but it didn't feel right. He wasn't Kiri or Kami. He wasn't my mates. The thought made a sob finally escape my mouth. Kacchan hugged me tighter and whispered soothing words to me. We stayed like that until everyone eventually funneled out of the room, leaving us alone.

"Stay here, okay? I'm going to talk to Aizawa." He told me softly. He unwrapped his arms from around me and was turning to leave when I grabbed his shirt sleeve.

"What're you going to tell him?" I asked through the few tears I had left.

"That we need to talk to Nezu." He explained like it was obvious. My jaw dropped.

"Why on earth would we do that?" I asked back. I can't think of any reason to talk to the principal.

He sighed and rolled his eyes at me. "We're gonna tell the asshole that you found your mates and need to tell them about being an omega. I feel like he should probably know that you're disobeying him, only so he can't be as mad." The thought of our animal principal being upset with me, made my face pale. I strictly told me, I was not permitted to tell anyone, no matter what.

"Kacchan we can't! They can't know, I'll be expelled and they'll be put in danger." I said trying to sound firm, but my voice trailed off sadly at the end of my reasoning.

"No, we're telling him and them. You need them, look at you. You're falling apart just know knowing that they're so close and you still can't be with them. It's not fair, to any of you." He responded, already at the door. He walked out before I could even continue the argument. I sighed, not following him, only because I couldn't stand seeing them right now. I'd either break down in tears or run straight into their arms. Either way it ends very badly for all of us.

After a few minutes, Kacchan came back in, followed by Todoroki. I gave them a questioning look. Kacchan ignored me, walking past and grabbing my arm, pulling me along. His mood did a complete one eighty turn. I looked at Todoroki, hoping he'd give me a response. "Mr. Aizawa wanted me to come along and make sure he was telling the truth. I was the only one who could go because I'm the only with half a brain and was able to figure out that you're actually an omega." He said with a shrug, following along right next to me. Kacchan growled from a foot ahead of us, still pulling me.

"Fucking bastard." He mumbled.

"I feel bad for whoever gets stuck with you as a mate." Todoroki said, making Kacchan's grip on my wrist tighten and his growl to increase in volume.

"Please don't antagonize him. Kacchan, please loosen your grip, it's starting to hurt." I whined. His hand immediately loosened from around my wrist, shooting me a quick and small apologetic look.

The rest of the walk was silent. We reached Nezu's office fairly quick, knocking on the door, and being called in. Kacchan slammed his door open, and I smacked his arm for his rudeness.

"Ah yes, I see young Bakugou is present. It appears Midoriya and Todoroki are as well. What brings such a strange group to my office when you should all be in class?" Our principal asked us. Kacchan pushed me forwards, obviously meaning for me to explain. I shot him a glare, but proceeded to talk.

"Well you see sir, um... I kinda, sorta, found my mates?" It came out as a question instead of an explanation. Nezu shot a look at Todoroki.

"Todoroki figured it out." I added.

"Is he one of them?" Nezu asked. I turned red.

"W~what? No! It's Kirishima and Kaminari!" I nearly yelled. Being Todoroki's mate is just... weird. Nezu nodded in understanding.

"What do you expect me to do about this?" He asked me, scanned the rest of the occupants of the room. I felt my stomach drop and the little bit of hope I had disappeared.

"You're gonna let him fucking tell his mates." Kacchan growled next to me. I quickly shot an elbow out and hit him in the gut.

"Language please, Bakugou." Nezu said unfazed. "I'm afraid he can't. It's far to dangerous for anyone else to know about Midoriya's secondary gender. Perhaps if you two didn't know, I may have let it slide, but having four young irresponsible teenagers knowing such an important secret? Out of the question. This could easily be the difference between life and death." He explained. Instantly, both boys shot to my defense.

"That's completely unfair. I figured it out myself. No one could help that."

"Yeah! Besides, I've know since we were in fucking diapers! I'm basically his brother, how could I possibly not know?"

I lifted my head up when I heard Nezu release a sigh. "I'm not blaming any of you. I'm just stating that it's too dangerous to let anyone else in on this. I'm sorry, but that's just the way it has to be, at least until you graduate." In all fairness, he did seem pretty upset about this whole thing. Nezu isn't evil, I know he doesn't want to keep me from my mates, he's just do the most logical thing to keep everyone safe. I guess I can't really blame him. Sure it sucks, but I'd rather feel like this than have my mates put in any kind of danger.

"You can't be fucking serious. Not being with his mates is going to kill the poor kid. His mates are all he's lived for since he discovered what they were, and now you're just going to dangle them in front of him like a fucking cat toy? No way in hell." Kacchan wasn't shouting, but his tone was almost as scary.

Before Nezu could scold him, I spoke up. "Kacchan, this is for the best. I knew this would happen from when I first filled out the application here. I knew I couldn't be with my mates until after graduation. This isn't new information for me. I got my hopes up, but this is really the best way." I said half heartedly. Kacchan saw my expression and decided not to push it anymore. Todoroki just put a comforting hand on my shoulder.

Nezu cleared his throat, drawing our attention back to him. "You can't tell them that you're mates, but you can still befriend them. Keep being near them. It should help, at least a little. I'm sorry, but it's the best we can do." He said sadly. I nodded my head slightly. I just wanted to go back to my dorm and sleep.

I vaguely remember Todoroki leading Kacchan and I out of the office and threw the halls back to the dorm building. Class was probably over by now.

Sometimes, I hate being right.

Class was over. The proof was all the students sitting around the common area, including my mates. They were snuggled up on the couch, watching whatever was on TV at the time. I almost broke down at the sight of them, but I was quickly rushed to the elevator by Kacchan and Todoroki. The rest of the journey was a blank. All I can really recall is Kacchan yelling at Todoroki to leave once we reach my dorm. He reluctantly agreed, and Kacchan was left to look after me.

I just wanted to sleep and snuggle up with my mates.
