When I left the classroom I said goodbye to the girls and made my way home, I started to think of earlier, 'what if he doesn't like me anymore? does he already have a girlfriend? are we even still friends? after all these years?'
I shook my head trying to clear my head and made it home, I greeted my dad "Hey daddy! Is it ok if I go to a friend's house for tonight?" He nodded and said yes, I also told him who it was and he was shocked, but never the less wanted us to talk it out.
"Eh Izuku? he's ok? after all these years I thought he died but thankfully he's fine" I nodded and went to my room and started packing for tonight. I opened my drawer and saw a bracelet, Izuku gave it to me when we were 3 because he wanted to 'mark me'.
'Idiot' I thought to myself now finished packing I walked downstairs and bid goodbye to my parents and walked to Izuku's.
By the time I got there, Stella and Mio had just arrived "Hey Stella and Mio...did he not let you in?" I asked.
"No we just got here actually we were waiting for you,....we didn't want to go in alone," Mio said looking to the side I hummed in response before the door opened after Stella knocked about 2 times.
It was Izuku in his nightclothes, "Oh come in, my parents just left for a business trip for like a week" Letting them in they walked upstairs to his room and put their bags done by his closet. The four sat on his bed while izuku was taking out his piercings(If you have piercings, do you sleep with them on? I do).
After about 5 minutes of silence, Mio spoke "So...Izu-chan...when you were running away and while you were with your real family...did you miss us?" Mio asked slightly afraid the boy she loved didn't miss her.
"Yes, I missed you...I didn't have any of you by my side which pained me greatly..but I knew if I had stayed in that house I most likely would have undergone more abuse and probably died, and I do regret leaving you behind but it was for the best" He said coldly.
No POV.
Rias froze...did he really endure all of this and still managed to look at them with smiles on his face? Without uttering a word she walked over to him.

SLAP!
Izuku looked at her disinterested "ow" he said rubbing his face.
"That's what you get for lying to us! we could have helped you! but no you want to do everything on your own, that isn't what friends(lovers) are for!" She yelled in rage Izuku took the words slightly to heart before responding.
"You are right I shouldn't have lied, but I wasn't bringing you or anyone into my problems, I don't talk to the Yagi's or have any contact with them or their friends, so I just let it go, I think you should too," He said only causing her rage to increase "No, I won't let it go! what about you loving me-" She was about to continue before Izuku continued.
"What if you intervened then? You would have saved me but you would also have been hurting me. If you had saved me I wouldn't have met my aunts and uncles. If you had done something I wouldn't have met my real mom and dad, if you had done something....you could have gotten hurt or worse killed...but I wasn't letting that become a possibility" Izuku said in a calm manner never looking away from her gaze.
"I know the Yagi's would have done anything to preserve their reputation even if it meant killing someone, and you or any of the girls were going to become a victim to those assholes"
Izuku let Rias fall into his embrace, she couldn't stand because of how weak her legs were, he was right...if she had done something she would have stripped him the right of a happy life...even if it was with her.

"Rias my sweet red princess the feelings I harbored for you, Stella, and Mio haven't changed I love you dearly, so please don't think for a second I ever stopped loving you..."
"I know you're in pain and it's a lot to take in at once...I understand because it was the same for me to find out the people that had been abusing me ever since I was a child weren't my real parents and even more so when I found my real mom and dad but I got through it...can you do that too?"
Rias was crying, soaking the black shirt in tears...but she wasn't the only one Izuku was crying to...realizing that his leaving had a huge impact on them and how much pain he put them in but he was going to make up for it.
After a couple of minutes, the two pulled away "*Sniff* sorry f-for soaking your shirt..." Rias said.
"It's fine...now if you want you can leave I understand if you--" He was cut off by Mio slapping him and jumping on the bed with Stella.
"No, we just got you back and now you think we're leaving? are you an idiot?" Mio asked making Izuku slightly smile.
"Ikki you sure have gotten dumber over the years..." Stella said.
"You're staying here?" They nodded.
"So where will you sleep?"
"With you, dumbass" Rias said acting like she wasn't just crying a second ago.
"Alright well I'll just sleep on the floor--"
He was dragged by Mio and Stella back to the bed the three girls wrapping around him, "Shut up and sleep Ikki" Stella commanded.
