Izuku Midoriya

"So Izuku..." Mitsuki awkwardly pushed her food around on her dinner plate. "What do you do for work?" She has been the only one trying to make conversation with me, and although it was never natural conversations, she did try and be polite around me. Her husband, on the other hand, wasn't so nice and never once tried to speak to me.

It was slightly weird considering Masaru used to be really kind to me. I guess it makes sense considering what I did to his son. Grimacing, I tried to rid myself of those thoughts and reply to Katsuki's mother.

"I am a writer and editor for a publishing company," I replied, chancing a glance at Katsuki, who had been mindlessly picking at his food. Actually, he had been avoiding the conversation as much as possible. I had been here three days and each night, we all sat and had dinner together like an awkward family.

"That's lovely, does it pay well?" She asked, instantly putting me on edge. It was no secret that my line of work didn't make the best money. Would she judge me for that? I was older than Katsuki. But considering our dynamics, shouldn't he be the one to provide for me? Why did I feel like I should be the one looking after him still? I shook my head subtly, needing to clear the clutter that rattled inside my brain. Katsuki and I were not together. No one was taking care of, or providing for, anyone.

"It's decent, enough to support myself." I wanted to stick my fork in my eye
Instead, I just shoved the cutlery it in my mouth and chewed my food. Mitsuki hummed and went back to eating.

After dinner, I offered to help with dishes, like every night, and like every night I am turned down and told to go relax or whatnot. I have been seriously trying to warm up to his friends and parents, and no one seemed to really like me being here. The one guy that Katsuki hangs out with the most is Kirishima, and he has been quite friendly to me.

The two Omegas of the group never really spoke to me. It was odd considering most Omegas felt comfortable around other Omegas. Why was I any different?

Sliding onto the sofa, I sighed and tucked my legs under myself to keep warm. It was quite chilly inside and although I have been feeling better and eating more, I haven't put on much weight. The cold still bothered me more than it should have. Distracting myself, I pulled out my cell and googled date ideas. I wanted to ask Katsuki out on a date. I mean, he agreed to let me court him for a month, saying he wouldn't push me out of his life, but would he agree to a date with me?

It was weird enough that the Omega of our pairing was asking the Alpha out, but I was older and the one doing the chasing. It just felt unnatural and had me extra nervous.

I have looked at restaurants, movies, clubs, bowling, arcades, and more. Nothing really seemed like things the Alpha would enjoy doing. The fact was, I didn't know much about him. I needed to spend more time around him just talking. Maybe he would open up about something and give me a clue.

Speak of the devil and he shall appear.

I quickly put my phone away and gave a smile towards Katsuki who was walking into the living room wearing grey sweats and a black tank top that had my mouth watering. I quickly scolded myself and looked away down at my lap. A slight chill ran down my arms from the air conditioning.

Before Katsuki sat down, he grabbed a blanket from the love seat and, without saying a word, walked over to me and draped the blanket over my body. My mouth fell open, but I quickly closed it, not wanting to look like a fool.

"Thanks," I mumbled, my cheeks heated up from the kind gesture. He grunted softly as his reply and sat down beside me -- shocking me again as he willing at beside me.

"I am going out tomorrow with the guys," Katsuki says, looking down at his phone. I assumed he meant his friends, considering there was a girl in the group. I didn't say anything, slightly disappointed that he would leave me here alone with his parents.

"Okay," I replied softly and looked over at him. He put his phone in his lap and looked up at me, stealing my breath away as his piercing red eyes held me.

"You want to tag along?" He asked. 

Well, fuck -- color me stoked.

The day trip they had planned was to go to a lake. Funny enough, it was the same lake that I took Katsuki to one summer. The last time we had been there was the same day my heat had hit -- and ruined the next four years of our lives.

I tried not to let the bad memories get to me, but it was near impossible when I was suddenly thrown into a situation with my shirtless, and dripping wet, mate. He stirred up feeling inside me that I had been fighting for over four years. The lust that I had pushed away all those years came crashing down on me as I watched the ash-blond out in the water with his friends.

Denki made me uncomfortable. The way he hung around Katsuki all the time and touched him had me wanting to rip his hands off his lanky body and cry at the same time. I hated being controlled by my emotions like this. But it was hard when Denki almost seemed to be doing it on purpose.

Like right now. I had been watching them all from the shore, not quite feeling comfortable inside their close-knit circle of friends. But still, I enjoyed being near my mate. However, I had to watch while Denki kept throwing me glances every time he laid hands on Katsuki.

The worst part of it was, Katsuki seemed not to care that Denki was all over him, which only meant that the behavior was normal for them. The jealousy and hurt in my chest intensified when I saw Denki jump into Katsuki's arms and wrap his pale legs around my mate's waist. My anger rose in my chest and I swore I would break a tooth from how hard I was grinding my teeth.

What tipped the scale was when I saw the cheeky fucker grin at me from over Katsuki's shoulder, making my insides twist and my Omegan nature howl with discomfort. I wanted to cry, to let my emotions take over and show just how much of a weak Omega I really was.

However, I glared right back and stood up. Wanting to rub it in his dumbass face, I called over to Katsuki.

"Hey Kat," I shouted and grinned when he instantly let go of Denki, dropping him down into the water. He turned to face me with curious eyes.

"I'm gonna come join you guys," I spoke loudly as I locked eyes with Katsuki who smiled a little and nodded. Before he could look away, I gripped the bottom of my shirt and tugged it off swiftly before dropping it to the ground and walking toward the water with a satisfied smirk on my face.

Denki was red in the face and glaring while Katsuki's mouth had slightly parted and his eyes quickly raked over my body before he looked away, trying to play it off that he didn't just eye fuck me. I shot a smirk at Denki who curled his lip at me and turned away, pouting. What a childish move, I thought with a petty grin on my face.

Walking into the water, I moved right up to Katsuki and smiled at him. He only smirked back at me while leaning down. His lips got so close to my ear that I could feel his warm breath tickle my skin and it sent shivers along my spine.

"I saw that," Katsuki whispered, making me gulp. I pulled away slightly, my cheeks burned and my heart thumped wildly. I knew Kat could hear my heart about to collapse, only adding to his cheeky grin.

"I don't know what you are talking about," I replied coyly, folding my arms across my chest and shooting a glare at Denki who was still watching us with narrowed eyes. Katsuki chuckled by my side, sending warmth to my core. Goddess, he sounded so sexy when he laughed. I tried to control myself, but I swore I whimpered under my breath.

"Don't play dumb." Katsuki's hand brushed my exposed side under the water, sending lovely jolts through my body and straight to my member. I gasped and pulled away some, forcing myself to roll my lip between my teeth in order to hold back a moan.

"You forget, I can smell you." Katsuki trailed his fingers over my side and around to my lower back before retreating and stepping away like he didn't just intentionally turn me on.

"Green doesn't suit you." He smirked playfully before walking off towards Kirishima with a blow-up beach ball.

Green doesn't suit me? Was he talking about my hair? Instinctively, my hands go up to my hair just as I caught the ash-blond throwing me a smirk, making me realize he was being smart with me. He means jealousy. Green with envy. What a little shit -- I huffed and shook my head, both confused and turned on by his sudden flirting with me.

What just happened?

***

"Let's go get food, I am starving!" Kirishima groaned and Katsuki rolled his eyes. After Kat's little flirting spell he had in the lake, he went back to ignoring me for the most part, and thank Goddess we were all underwater or else I would have had an embarrassing problem in my swim bottoms.

"You're always starving, how are you not fat?" Jiro spoke up, surprising me as she never really spoke unless it was with Kirishima. Those two seemed to get along well; she normally stayed with Denki or Kirishima the majority of the time.

"I have a high metabolism, that's all." Kirishima grinned and Jiro rolled her eyes and goes back to being quiet while Katsuki dried off with a blue towel. He walked over to me and wrapped a fresh towel around my shoulders before walking off, leaving me speechless and shocked yet again by his random acts of caring.

"You both shut up and let's go get food," Katsuki smirked and hopped into his car, right after throwing his towel in the seat to keep his fabric from getting wet. We all brought clothes, but we never changed out of our swim clothes. I just pulled my shirt on after I dried my curls and patted my bottoms dry the best that I could.

"That's what I am talking about!" Kirishima jumped into the front seat, leaving me in the back with the other Omegas. I normally wouldn't mind, but I was already on a short fuse with the blond one that kept putting hands on my mate. Katsuki seemed to notice as he gave me a sly grin through the rearview mirror.

Playing nice, I sat quietly for the whole ride, occasionally catching Katsuki glancing at me through the mirror. This only seemed to piss off the little Omega beside me, annoying the hell out of me and making it hard for me not to say something.

It wasn't until Denki started talking to me, that I lost a bit of my cool.

"So, Midoriya..." He said my last name slowly, drawing it out of his lips and instantly spiking my blood pressure. "I hope you and Katsuki are patching things up." I felt my face get hot as I clenched my fists in my lap.

I didn't say anything as the car goes deathly quiet. Even Katsuki seemed stunned as his eyes dart to mine through the mirror. I clenched my teeth. What did Katsuki tell them about our history?

"I heard you guys had a --  harsh falling out," Denki smirked over at me, making me grind my teeth.

"That's enough, Denki," Katsuki warned and for a moment I relaxed, thinking that the little kid would stop pestering me when I was trying to be on my best behavior. However, that didn't happen.

"What? I just wanted to get to know the tramp that had my Alpha so hurt for such a long time." Denki sneered at me and that's when I lost it. 

My fist went flying out faster than I could process. It connected to his jaw with a sickly crack as I started unbuckling my belt with my free hand. I was snarling with anger. I tried to play nice for three days but he had been pushing me to my limit and now all I wanted to do was knock his stupid lights out.

"Fuck you!" I growled and launched myself at Denki who was -- unfortunately for him -- right beside me. He had been toying with me for days, always sitting on Katsuki's lap, hugging him, touching him, flirting with him, and taunting me. I didn't know what took over, but my Omega was livid and was seeing red.

I didn't hear or feel the car being pulled over until I was being ripped out of the back seat and onto the side of a secluded road. I went to swing at the blond Omega again but was caught by Katsuki who was growling as Kirishima held Denki back.

"Let me go," I growled and tried to shake off Katsuki who just gripped me tighter, making me hiss out in pain. Denki glared at me, growling and thrashing in Kirishima's grip.

"What the fuck has gotten into you both?" Katsuki barked and I just glared at Denki, waiting for him to reply. However, I was stunned when Katsuki jerked me back and walked over to Denki and checked his face where I had hit him.

Pain erupted from within as jealousy reared its ugly head again.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" I shout, my eyes wide and filling with tears. "He has been fucking with me for days!" I shouted, the tears threatening to spill over, so I dashed them away with my arm. Katsuki looked back at me with a furrowed brow.

"What?" He spoke with an exasperated sigh. Denki only glared and curls his lip at me, threatening me as I tried to hold myself back from attacking him again. My Omegan instincts were on edge and begging me to beat his fucking ass.

"I didn't do anything to you, slut." Denki spat and before I could lunge at him, a loud smack was heard and I froze in my spot. My eyes widened as Kirishima stood in front of Denki who was now holding his cheek with a stunned look on his face.

"Don't disrespect our Alpha like that," Kirishima spoke dryly, suddenly surprising us all with his serious tone.

"Did you just smack me?" Denki asked ludicrously. His eyes were still wide as Katsuki stood there stunned and my anger faded to confusion.

"Don't call our Alpha's mate a slut. You are disrespecting Katsuki by doing that. All those side comments in the car, Izuku deserved to hit you. You shouldn't be pushing him like that, it isn't your place." Kirishima growled out before sighing, obviously trying to relax. "Katsuki's relationship with his mate is not our business, let them handle it and know your place." He finished before stepping aside and looking at me.

"I am sorry for his behavior," Kirishima apologized before looking at Katsuki who had a hard look on his face. He only nodded at the redhead before cutting me a quick glance that told me we were not done talking about this.

The rest of the ride home was silent as Kirishima gave up his seat and let me sit up front as he sat in the back between Denki and Jiro. Jiro had been silent the whole argument, just sitting there watching intensely, never once picking sides. It was odd; everything was odd.

Although I was grateful to Kirishima for standing up for me, I knew that I only set myself back in Katsuki's eyes. I let my instincts get the best of me -- The same thing that made me lose Katsuki in the first place. I only showed that I am not worthy of his trust. I hurt his pack members and made him mad at me.

At least, I think he was mad at me. He hasn't said a word to me, only given me glances that told me just enough. I would be getting an earful when we got home. Well, not my home. No matter how much older I am, the look in Katsuki's eyes had me sitting quietly with my head hung in submission. I didn't want to fight with Kat anymore. But I just had to go and lose control.

Again.
