chapter 12 : mine

// blood

katsuki was nothing short of confused, his eyebrows intensely furrowed as he walked down the hall. he was now clad in a slightly more formal attire of a simple silk dress shirt along with black pants.

"they were eager to meet you, bakugou sir." the shorter man said, his smile genuine as they walked down the halls at a haste pace.

katsuki only hummed at this, slightly untrusting. not of the man, no, he worked here, he was trusted by izuku. though, of the men he spoke of.

the blond hadn't been expecting guest, his mother and father lived in the village furthest from the palace. he hadn't heard from them and they had likely never heard of him.

"ah, they are on the other side of this door. i would love to accompany you but it was claimed that the message they have to relay was personal. therefore, i cannot join. though, when you are done, please return, there will be someone awaiting to guide you back to king midoriya's room." the man spoke, bowing with respect before walking away with a soft hum.

katsuki couldn't help but feel intense unease at this. maybe it was just because he hadn't really talked to anyone outside of the palace. he was now sort of anxious at the idea of talking with others.

though, whoever these people must be, it had to be important. and so, with a heavy breath, katsuki opened the door, immediately met with two men, one shorter than the other yet they were both taller than him.

"ah, there's our little lass, all dolled up for us, eh?" the tallest of the three chuckled, his voice immediately sending an icy chill down katsuki's spine.

"you - no.. why are you here?!" katsuki shouted in a panic, immediately turning away to run away.

though, before a full step could be made, katsuki was suddenly tackled, his chest harshly pressed against the shiny floors. katsuki groaned loudly before yelling, screaming out anything for help despite how thick and soundproof the walls were. the man had then put a hand over his mouth, it was dirty, gross even. though, that did not stop katsuki from immediately biting down on it as hard as possible, tasting the warm metallic flavor of blood quickly leaking into his mouth.

the man immediately pulled away from katsuki, yelling out as his entire hand trembled violently with intense throbbing pain, blood spewing from the many puncture wounds from katsuki's teeth. the blond then immediately got onto his feet running to the door only to realize that the tallest man was already waiting for him there.

"please! let me go, i-!" katsuki sentence was get short by a heavy swing to his lower abdomen, knocking him off his feet again and he curled into the fetal position, sobbing out at the pain.

"i'm just about exhausted with you, doll. time for you to go to boss, you're his property now, always has been." the man chuckled, hovering over the blond, breath hot and sour-smelling. katsuki shivered grossly at this, feeling the sudden oncoming nausea that racked his body.

though, beyond all of that, sudden rage quickly overcame katsuki, his body was trembling, too weak to move at this point. he didn't want to be handed off so easily, he was worth more than that.

izuku had shown him that he was worth much more than that.

katsuki them scrunched his face up in disgust before spitting directly onto the older man's face, the action filled with nothing but unbridled anger.

the man then backed away for a moment growling with annoyance before landing a sharp punch across katsuki's face, knocking the blond out cold. katsuki was now limp on the floor as blood leaked from both his nose and mouth.

"there you go, doll." the taller male chuckled, picking katsuki up and tossing him over his shoulder.

"get up, grease ball. you're fine." he grunted as he walked over to the shorter man who was still trembling at the throb in his bloody hand.

"he bit my hand, asshole! how is that fine?" the male yelled despite getting up as well. the other only shrugged before continuing to walk away.

"stop being a baby. help me bring 'em out back, no one can see him with us."

"here he is, boss."

the man hummed, his eyes widening slightly as he outstretched his arms, taking the limp blond into his arms.

both katsuki's ankles and wrists were bound, dried blood smeared on his face from the nose down. dried tears were staining his cheeks, clumping up his eyelashes as he laid, unresponsive in the man's hold.

"you didn't kill him, did you?" he asked, scowling at the state of katsuki's body.

"course not! the boy just put up a fight!" the shortest man said, waving his now bandaged hand. the other man only nodded before placing katsuki down onto the floor of the shed.

it was small, sort of cramped, the floors were cold and dusty, littered by thick ropes and rusted chains.

the other man only scoffed, rolling his eyes at this before turning to katsuki and grinning. his expression was utterly predatory, sending shivers down the two other men's spines as he gazed down at katsuki.

"that doesn't matter anymore," he began to chuckle, making the other two utterly uncomfortable.

"all that matters is that he's all mine now."
