Sero X Denki X Deku (Soulmate AU)

Sixteen

(Izuku PoV)

I sat in my bed, tears streaming down my face. I couldn't control the sobs and I also didn't hear my two soulmates approaching.

Sero and Denki poked their heads through the doorway and Denki was first to push in. Sero stayed at the doorway. I wiped my eyes quickly, looking away from the two.

"Guys, you didn't knock!" I tried to breath but I hiccuped.

Sero frowned, "Actually, my house, I don't knock" He shook his head. "You'll be explaining yourself now."

"There is nothing." I gulped, trying to control my shaking, "I just got caught in a moment." 

Denki rubbed my back gently as he sat down beside me. I leaned into his chest and laid my head against his shoulder. 

"Was it something you saw?" I shook my head at the question. Then he frowned, "Was it....someone....."

Biting my lip, I feared saying anything. But that was the wrong move apparently because it just answered the question for both of them. Sero unfolded his crossed arms and no longer leaned against the door. Making his way over to the bed and grabbing my chin, forcing to look at him.

"Who did this? I'll take care of this." He spoke and the tone felt so deadly that I gulped. 

"It is really nothing that needs to be fixed." I managed to stand and move from the two. "And I don't want you, Sero, to solve my problems. You've done way too much for me, I already feel like I'm using you as a soulmate, which is exactly what you didn't want in the first time, remember!"

Sero frowned, "You are trying to throw off the main point, Izuku. I told you that I'd take care of it. So, Izuku, tell me who is causing so much stress that you cry."

I turned around, walking towards the door so that I could get out of here. 

"Why do you care about me all of a sudden?" I muttered.

Denki stood from the bed, "Izuku, that is what you wanted, right? He's your soulmate, you know that you can rely on us any time you want."

I knew it wasn't something I should have done, but as his words set in, and everything about the blackmail of Shigaraki hit me, I lost it. My body shook and tears streamed down my face. Putting a hand over my mouth to stop the noise but I couldn't hold the sobs that spilled out.

"Oh Izu!" Denki hugged me, putting his chin on my head and he rubbed my back. "Come on, lay down and calm yourself for a minute, okay?"

I let him lead me to the bed and I sat with him. 

Sero joined us on the bed and his arms wrapped around me, making my heart splutter slightly and I couldn't help but blush at the feeling.

"You don't even have to tell me what's going on. Just give me a name and you'll never hear about them again." Sero muttered.

I thought about it for a moment. Could I tell him? Wouldn't Shigaraki tell Sero everything though?

"I can't..." I pulled away from the two. Sero looked at me angrily and Denki's eyes softened with worry. "He's threatening me. If I tell you a-and he finds out...he will tell you things that--well-um-things that could ruin any thoughts of me that were good."

Denki frowned in confusion.

"Someone from my old job."

Denki's eyebrows knitted together in anger and he bit his lip, "Izuku,you know that your old job was..." He looked at Sero and I pleaded that he'd stay silent. "-Look if you are getting threatened by someone because of Sero, then you should tell Sero the truth."

He looked at me and I knew it was the truth. 

Sero put his hand on mine, "You cannot ruin your image in my eyes. Remember how this started, how could it get worse?"

"Okay," I took a deep breath. "I used to be a stripper. In fact I was a stripper when we first met and only quit when I got three other jobs. And the guy I was talking about emailed me threatening he'd tell you everything if I didn't do as he said. He said that...well...that he wasn't ready to lose me"

Sero clenched his fist and stood up, "I see. So he thinks you have to be his huh?" he put his hand on my cheek, wiping a single tear. "I'll take care of everything, don't you worry about it."
