Izuku Midoriya 

"Come on, Zuzu! You know you wanna go to the mall with me!"

Mina has been pestering him for a few days now to go to the mall. Her an Uraraka both have been dying to go shopping and for some reason, their ideal shopping partner was him.

"Just because I am an omega doesn't mean I like shopping and doing girly things!"

Rolling his eyes he can't hide the smile that forms on his lips. Normally he would spend his days training with Kirishima and the other guys, but it's the weekend and now the girls are begging for his attention. 

"Hush! I know that! But you are fun to hang out with and you never go to the mall with us!"

Mina pouts and Izuku watches her with a bored expression. For an alpha, she really is quite pouty. Uraraka has been stifling her own giggles for this whole conversation, although she has voiced that she wants him to join them as well.

"Fine, but don't expect me to join in on your gossiping. I know how you two are when you get together!"

It's true when Mina and Ururaka get together they are worse than middle schoolers. The drama gets stirred up and gossip starts flying around. Mina, although she is mature and respectable, has quite an affinity for drama.

"Whatever you say, babes!"

Izuku groans at the nickname and mentally kicks himself for agreeing to this torture. It's been two weeks since he was delivered the news that he is pregnant. Although Katsuki hasn't found out, he knows he will have to tell him soon.

He loves him, and part of him knows that Katsuki wouldn't leave him for this. It will definitely make their lives more difficult, but he wouldn't leave him. Would he?

His hand finds purchase on his flat stomach, the hard lines of his abs still defined. If not for his scent changing, no one would really be able to tell. Even Mina, as an alpha, has become extra clingy with him lately. 

Kirishima has even been going easy on him during their sparring sessions. His boyfriend has been clingy and protective, even more so since he went into a rut almost a week ago. He spoke to Midnight about it, although it was an embarrassing conversation, he was scared that Katsuki was somehow able to tell his body was carrying their child.

Midnight was helpful, and once again suggested that he tell his boyfriend soon to avoid any fights or conflict. It's known that alpha males can get extremely protective and instinctual over pregnant mates. With Katsuki's 18th birthday coming up next week, he knows that the alpha will be stressed out.

The fact that they both are nervous about his birthday is known among all their classmates. It worked out well for Kiri and Kaminari, but it's been bugging Izuku a lot lately. What if he and Kat aren't fated mates after all? He wouldn't ask his boyfriend to ignore that fact and mark him anyways. Katsuki deserves to find his soul-mate.

"So, we're going to Hot Topic first!"

Mina's cheering snaps him out of his worrying. Loping his arm with Uraraka, he walks alongside the two girls, heading towards the exit of the dorms. He hasn't gotten physically sick in a few days, thank Goddess for that.

The morning sickness, scratch that, the all-day-vomiting has been almost impossible to hide from his boyfriend. Luckily, his vomiting moved from morning time to afternoon. That was easier to hide than right when he woke up next to his boyfriend.

Recovery Girl has also been a huge resource for him over the past 2 weeks. He had another check-up after Katsuki went into rut. The rough sex was amazing but had him frazzled and worried about the possibility of hurting the baby.

The nurse actually laughed at him for worrying so much. She gave him the all-clear, saying that the baby was fine and he was healthy as well. Much to his embarrassment, she actually encouraged having sex regularly while in the early stages of pregnancy. Saying that it will regulate his emotions when his alpha knotted him. 

He left that appointment red as a tomato and avoided Katsuki all day.

The drive to the mall didn't take too long, and much to his relief, it wasn't crowded this early on a Saturday. The girls both hauled him off towards their first location. 

The Hot Topic store was dimly lit, soft music playing through the speakers as customers looked around. Mina went straight for the clothes while Uraraka skipped over to the shelf stacked with action figures and other merchandise.

All Might has his own Pop Figure. That might be the one thing Izuku buys from this store. 

"Zukie! Come look at this!"

Mina's wild nicknames have him rolling his eyes and shuffling over to the back of the store where Mina holds up two shirts.

What shocked him the most was that one shirt had his face on it. The other shirt had a bunch of his classmates with the name of their school printed across the back.

"I am right here, that's me! Holy shit!"

Stabbing her finger at the image of Mina next to Uraraka on the group class photo shirt, Mina giggled and started squealing next to Uraraka.

"I can't believe they have merchandise of us! Look! Oh my fucking gosh it's Kirishima!"

Laughing, Izuku's eyes fill with tears as he doubles in a fit of giggles over at the shirt with Kirishima and one of his goofy grins. Luckily, there are not many shoppers in this store right now or else their laughter would be drawing up much attention. 

Sobering up, Izuku looks through the racks of shirts before one catches his eye. Pulling out the black shirt, he holds it up and his eyes almost pop out of his head.

"Holy shit, guys."

Holding the shirt up, Mina drops the shirts that she had been crooning over and rushes over to Izuku. Staring at the shirt she wiggles her eyebrows and grins.

"I'm sure Bakugou would die if he saw you wearing his merch."

Rolling his eyes, Izuku looks over the shirt that has a picture of his boyfriend in his hero costume on the front. Smiling, he checks the size and then tucks it under his arm deciding he would buy this over the All Might Pop Figure. 

Most people see Katsuki as a young and immature, power-hungry hero-in-training. It's true that he has a temper and focuses a lot on becoming number one, but he is much more level headed than how others see him.

Over the months they had been together, Izuku has learned that his boyfriend is gentle and quite caring. He is protective of the things he loves. He thinks of their classmates as friends even if on the outside he is a little gruff towards them. Izuku has seen him cry, laugh, scream, fight, love, and care for people.

Clutching the shirt to his body, he smiles and heads over to check out wanting to purchase his boyfriend's merch quickly and support his hero. Of course, he wants to be the best as well, but Katsuki is sure to outdo him in the hero department. His boyfriend is the best.

After he and the girls have checked out, they make their way to the food court for lunch. His stomach demanding food faster and more often than before now that there is a tiny life inside him.

Mina seemed to fall into one of her alpha spells as she drags him off to the food court to get something to eat. Uraraka following behind and giving them a curious look. Izuku shrugs it off, trying to play it off as just something silly so that no one starts questioning things.

"Get whatever you want, I will pay for us today since it was my idea to come here!"

Mina pulls out her card and smacks it into the cashier's hand after they all order their food. They all got subs and chips. Making their way to a table they flop down and begin to eat silently. The food court is buzzing with life, everyone in the mall seemed to have the same idea and came here for lunch.

"So, how are things with you and Bakugou? His birthday is next week right?"

Uraraka smiles and sips on her soda, making him blush and shrug.

"We are great really. We love each other, so it's kind of nervewracking not knowing if we are fated mates yet. He wants to mark me, I can tell, but he's waiting to feel the mate bond or not."

Mina giggles and whines.

"That's so freaking precious! He is so soft with you, Izuku!"

Her and Uraraka give each other heart eyes before they start whining about how they want a boyfriend too. Izuku laughs along with them and smiles at his friends as he nibbles on his sub sandwich. He's actually glad he came today, this has been fun.

Halfway through his sub, the fans kick on and the strong smell of Chinese food wafts by their table as a person carrying samples walks by. His stomach lurches at the smell, forcing him to clamp a hand over his mouth and stand up.

Bolting towards the nearest bathroom, Mina and Uraraka call after him. Fuck, he's always loved Sesame chicken, why now is the smell making him vomit?

Pushing into the handicap stall, he drops to the floor and spills his lunch, emptying his stomach and making him gag. Tears spill from his eyes from the horrible feeling throwing up brings. Once he's finished, he flushes the toilet and leans his head against the cool tile walls.

"Damn, I thought I was done with that shit..."

Grumbling to himself he walks out of the stall and over towards the sinks. Rinsing his mouth out quickly, he wets a paper towel and wipes his face from the light sheen of sweat that formed before washing his hands.

Giving his mouth one last swish with the tap water, he spits and stands back up. Straightening his clothes out and running his fingers through his hair, he doesn't notice the person standing behind him until they speak.

"Damn, that sounded rough back there."

Before he could respond, a sharp pain stings in his neck making him gasp and whirl around as he catches a glimpse of black hair in the reflection. 

With eyes blown open, his heart starts hammering away as his eyes land on the one person that had been haunting his dreams for over a month.

Dabi. 

Taking a step back, he bumps into the counter as his fingers grip back at the sinks, his knuckles go white from his grip.

"Tsk, Tsk, I wouldn't try running away, pretty. We've been waiting to get you away from your friends for some time now. Now here you are, running right into my arms."

Izuku's hand clutches to his neck where he felt the sting. Looking in Dabi's hand, he sees a syringe and his heart stops momentarily before hammering away again. Looking towards the exit, he wonders if he can run fast enough to get out and call for help.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you. The doors are guarded, you're not going anywhere, omega."

His neck throbs and his body begins to feel heavy as his mind flashes with even more panic.

"W-What did you inject me with?"

His mind stuck on his pup growing inside, forcing his hands to stay away from his stomach. He doesn't need to let this angry alpha male know that he is pregnant. Who knows what he would do to his and Katsuki's baby if he found out.

"Don't worry about it, omega. You'll be asleep soon. I will take care of you."

Dabi speaks softly to him, what confuses him more is the pained and almost sad look on his face as he watches Izuku stumble around trying to stay upright. 

His eyes begin to droop and he is vaguely aware of a crowd of people surrounding him as he sinks to the floor. His eyes heavy and blurry, his mind scrambling for ideas. Anything that will get him and his unborn pup out of this alive, his mind races to find solutions as he fights off sleep.

The one thing he comes up with has him sagging over against the wall as his body fights for sleep to take over.

He won't fight back. 

He won't fight the drugs.

He won't fight them.

As the room fades in and out of darkness, Izuku relaxes with his resolve, he knows why he won't fight back against them. 

He will do whatever it takes to avoid the physical violence that he bravely took the last time he was captured. 

Because now it's not just him he has to protect.

His hands flutter down to his stomach before the darkness starts to takes over once again. His mind fogged with the drug that was injected into him keeps him from speaking.

We're gonna be fine, pup.

His hands clutch over his flat belly as tears brim his tired eyes.

"....So perfect."

Hands are gently caressing his face before they cup behind his head. Dabi is holding his head up so it doesn't hit the floor as he passes out, going limp in the arms of his worst nightmare. 

The last thing on his mind before it all goes dark is Katsuki as he sends a silent prayer out for whomever to hear. He prays that they will make it out alive; 

For the second time.
