Chapter 3

------------
In which Keigo faces his fears
------------
( ⚠️ ANGST WARNING⚠️)

The biggest fear of the Hero was that he'd be alone. He never wanted to be alone in his life again. It was a painful experience for him when he was younger. Keigo didn't want that to happen again. The blonde sat on the couch as he waited for the other to get home. Maybe when he got home he could tell him about the conversation Rumi and he had had, and Touya would understand and they could look at the results together. That was his plan anyways. But in life, things never happen according to plan.

As the hours grew close to his fiancé returning home, Keigo got nervous. More so than before. He got scared. 'Would he leave me if it was positive? No, he wouldn't, right? It was an accident! He was wearing a condom!' Keigo got lost in his thoughts. The anxiety soon hit hard. 'What if he wanted an abortion?' The blonde blanked out. An abortion? He never thought of that. But he already discarded the idea as quickly as it had popped in his mind. This was an innocent child. It had done nothing wrong. It was their parents' fault for not being more careful.

The male sighed and covered his face with his hands. Maybe it was just his body acting up. He couldn't be sure. Keigo has never felt this way. His body has never acted like this. The blonde's knee started to bounce up and down as he stared blankly at the T.V. Not watching what was on as he was in his thoughts. Eventually the other decided to go look at the test he had taken earlier. The worst that could happen was that he was pregnant, and he has to find a new place to live. Since the apartment was technically Touya's.

Keigo got up and went to the bathroom. His body trembling with a mix of emotions. After opening the door and locking it behind himself, he stood in front of the mirror. Staring at his reflection. He knew he looked pale. He knew he looked terrified. After gaining some confidence, he finally looked down and flipped the test over.

Two pink lines. That's what the Number Two Pro-Hero was staring at. Keigo feels weak in the knees. He stumbled to sit down on the toilet lid. Holy fuck. This was really happening. Miruko wasn't kidding him.... But wasn't he taking the pill?! How did this happen!? How would... How would Touya react? Fuck. He knew his fiancé didn't want to be a dad. They talked about it before because Keigo knew he could carry it. He knew the other didn't want to pass such a terrible quirk onto his child. They were going to get a sperm donor. Someone they both wanted. And now this?

There were so many things running through his mind right now. The hero's amber eyes filled with tears. How was he going to break this news to his lover? Would he leave him? Would he even love him anymore? He knew he didn't have much time to think before the other got home from work. He glanced at his phone and then panicked hearing keys jingle in the lock of their apartment door. Keigo panicked and threw the test away. Slipping out of the bathroom just in time to greet the other who was coming down the hall.

"Birdie! I'm home!" Said a familiar voice that would normally make the blonde very happy. But this time it only filled him with dread. He forced a smile and saw the other coming at the end of the hall.
"Hey... How was work?" Keigo asked gently. Touya can tell there was something wrong. Nonetheless he hugged and kissed his love.
"Good. How was your day? Anything exciting happen while I was gone?" He asked the other. Keigo shook his head, biting the inside of his cheek.

"Nah, I was hanging out with the Interns at Rumi's place and then came home  and relaxed. Did you stop at the store?" Keigo quickly changed the subject.
"Yeah, and I got the Mochi like you asked." Touya said with a small but confused smile. The bird thanked him and watched the other go into the bedroom to get undressed from the day of work.
"What do you want me to make  for supper?" Keigo asked his lover. He heard some shuffling and then came face to face with the other dressed in his normal everyday clothes for lounging around the house.
