"The hell are you fucking talking about?" He growled as he crept closer and closer to the green haired idiot. "He said what?"

Izuku winced. He kept backing up until his backside hit the door of their bedroom. His skin looked pale. Really, he was only the messenger. Katsuki knew this, but he still wanted to claw someone's eyes out.

His hand reached out, and he clutched Izuku's side. "Tell me, Deku." His eyes purposely flicked between red and orange.

The male before him raised his hands in surrender. "Okay, okay. I'll tell you."

~~~

"The hell do you want?" Izuku answered his phone, fury already boiling within him simply at the name on the screen. He never would have answered if the caller had not decided to call him twelve times over until he did. "My promise to kill you still stands."

The man on the other line clicked his tongue. "Son, you are so difficult sometimes." He already hated hearing his father's voice. It made his ears hurt with just the one sentence. "I'm just calling to see how things are going. Have you ditched that useless omega yet?"

A low growl rumbled in his chest. How dare he call one of his mates useless. Especially his Kacchan. "He's not fucking useless."

A sigh. "Yes, he is. Leave him with your bastard of a mate. I can set you up with a young, pretty omega who will cook, clean, and bear all your children. They'll be strong and-"

"Shut. The fuck. Up." Izuku cut him off. The anger rolled off him in waves. Body stiff, jaw clenched. "I'm not leaving Shouto or Katsuki. And I'm certainly not letting someone marry me against their will!"

"Izuku-"

"No! Bakugou Katsuki is everything to me! To Shouto! We love him, and he loves us!"

"He loves your money. Your knot. He's just some knot-hungry gold digger who does not give a single shit about you!"

The words stung. Not because they held meaning, but because they were about his mate. The idea of anyone talking shit on his mate made him uncomfortable, especially after recent events. "Kacchan cares about me more than you do! He's not a damned gold digger either. Kacchan is better than that. He's fucking amazing in everything he does. I'd fucking pay to watch him kick your ass."

For a moment, the line remained silent. Izuku thought he got his point through his father's thick skull. But then the moment was crushed. "Then we'll fight."

Once Izuku finished retelling the conversation to Katsuki, the blonde released him. He had to fight Midoriya Hisashi. Surely, it would be no problem if it was a month ago. But now?

"Deku, I'm fucking pregnant." He reminded the nerd. He understood, really. It was something he and Izuku had in common. They both chose violence to solve a lot of their problems. "And fuck, if he tries to command me- Deku, I'll fucking break. I can't- Not again-"

Seeming to sense the anxiety within Katsuki, Izuku cupped his face in his hands. "I won't let him fucking touch you. If he tries, I'll get to him first." He brought their lips together then pulled Katsuki in for a hug.

When Shouto stormed in after learning about Izuku's biggest mistake of the day, he looked equally as furious as Katsuki had. Before he could move to chew Izuku out, Katsuki jumped in his way. The omega's hands seemed to soothe him, the tension in his shoulders leaving. "Izuku, how the hell is he supposed to fight your father?"
