Honey Dew {Spin-off}

8: Show me how

Izuku and Haruki had now fully moved into their new penthouse, Izuku wanted something simple but this is as simple as Kenji would go. It had the best security and the building was under the Hebi faction's protection.

They surprisingly had a lot of fun that day, Haruki even began warming up to Kenji a little. They had spent most of the day buying furniture and whatever else they wanted. After that Kenji took them out to some fancy restaurant and bought them both new wardrobes.

It was the first time Izuku and Kenji had been seen together during the day in months and this time they had a kid. The tabloids have been going crazy ever since calling them Musutafu's next it family.

Luckily Izuku and Kenji were used to this, both Izuku and Haruki looked very different compared to how they normally do. Unless you knew them personally you wouldn't even be able to tell who they were if you passed them on the street.

Izuku sat criss-cross on the couch with Haruki at his feet as the tv lowly played in the background. Izuku was blow-drying and brushing Haruki's hair after his shower.

Aoyama recently cut his hair and it was now shorter than before, Izuku liked Haruki's long hair but the boy was much happier with it short and that's all that matters.

"Hey, Ru can I talk to you for a minute?" Izuku asked.

Haruki moved to the couch and sat criss-cross as well, "What's up?"

"Have you thought about what you want to do in the near future?"

"What do you mean?" Haruki said confused.

"Like dreams, goals, aspirations, do you know what you want to be or do with your life?" Izuku elaborated.

"Well I never really thought about it before but lately I've been thinking a lot and one thing is clear. I want to be like you," Haruki mumbled, his ears red.

Izuku was stunned, "Like me?"

"Yeah, I a-admire you a lot or whatever. You're really strong and cool and I wanna be more like you," He said embarrassed.

Izuku smiled softly and ruffled his hair a little, "What do you know about the four Monarchs?"

Haruki thought for a second, "They're the most powerful people in Musutafu right? They control these gangs and basically the whole city,"

Izuku moved his hair to the side revealing his snake tattoo and Haruki's eyes widened, "You're in the Hebi faction!"

Izuku nodded, "Kenji is the Hebi's monarch and I'm his second in command,"

Haruki looked at him in disbelief, "N-no way, you're the viper?! But people said that you kill without mercy and literally rip your victims to shreds,"

"Well that was in my earlier years...are you scared of me?" Izuku quietly asked.

"Nah, even if that is who you really are to me your just Izuku, the person who was nice to me and saved me. I could never be scared of you, we're family now right?" Haruki smiled and held up his finger.

Izuku smiled and interlocked it with his, "Yeah we are, still want to be like me?"

"Hell yeah, now you're ten times cooler than you already are," Haruki said excitedly.

Izuku chuckled, "How would you like to be Kenji's successor?"

"Kenji's successor?"

Izuku nodded, "Mhm, I'm going to train you to take his spot once the second-gen Hebi's take over,"

"I'm...going to be the next monarch? Then who's going to take your spot?" he asked.

"Well originally that was going to be you but both I and Kenji discussed it and we agreed that you have the mark,"

"The mark?"

"The markings of a natural-born leader, he happened to see us when I was teaching you those fighting moves. He said he's never seen someone with so much raw talent, other than me of course," They both laughed.

"He says not only can he see himself in you but he can also see some of me in you as well, not to mention how insanely strong you are. I just want you to know if we do this you'll never be able to go back to "normal society".

Once a monarch claims a successor everyone will know, it's against our laws to harm a monarch's successor but that doesn't mean everyone abides by it. Though I'd never let anyone harm you," Izuku informed.

"I wanna do it, from the day I was born I've only ever seen the underside of the world. It's the only life I've ever known...it's the only thing I know how to do. I want to be able to survive it and protect myself as well as you, so I'm in one hundred percent,"

Izuku grinned, "To protect me you're gonna have to surpass me, and to surpass me I can't go easy on you,"

Haruki grinned back, "Going easy on me is the same as insulting me,"

"Master, I've found what you asked me to look for, it was incredibly hard. The only reason I have this information is because of a sneaky little rat. They are extremely secretive and bury their information deep below the surface,"

The man sat down his glass and kept his gaze on the monitor before him as he took the tablet, "Too deep for even you to dig up?"

"Yes, master,"

"Either you're getting rusty Junko or we have someone incredibly dangerous amongst us,"

"I assure you I'm not rusty," Junko stated.

"Now my interest is truly peaked," The man grinned "Tell me what you've learned,"

"As you know Kenji Tachibana is the monarch of the Hebi faction, Serpent, and Izuku Midoriya is actually his second in command, Viper. He sent Midoriya to the academy shortly after his mother's death.

He was considered the most gifted student they've ever had and many wanted to get their hands on him. However, Midoriya is incredibly loyal to Kenji and killed anyone who didn't back off after he declined. After their second attempt, he considered them enemies of the Hebi faction.

Kenji trusts no one more than Midoriya and vice versa, they also call Midoriya the watcher. Apparently, he sees and notices things that most people cannot and it's damn near impossible to deceive him," Junko relayed.

"I see...have you been keeping an eye on him? I need to know his schedule," The man watched the Tokyo monarchs discuss the emperor's ball.

"For the past few weeks, he's been more active than he's ever been. Usually, when not working it was like he was a ghost, he'd just disappear whenever our men tried to follow him home.

However as of late when not working he'd be seen frequenting a motel and going various places with a child. A couple days ago he and the child moved into a penthouse, before that social media was going crazy because Kenji was spotted out with a male and child acting as a family.

Midoriya has also requested to take all his vacation days for every job except the one at the Peach. Now he spends all day doing things with the child and occasionally works nights at the Peach," Junko told him.

"I see, clear my schedule for next week, we're going to Musutafu,"

"Yes sir," Junko bowed and left.

The man sipped his drink with a grin, "The Serpent and the Viper huh?"
