Izuku/Izara The life they never Knew

If Only: Thankless

"So, hold on..." Kirishima leaned back against the cooking station counters, making one of the kitchen staff get angry but they didn't say anything bad to their boss. Kiri pointed at Sero who was standing in front of him. "You confessed on Halloween..."

Bakugo scoffs as he paces. "Confessed? Sounded more like begging..."

Kirishima ignored him. "Then Shoto said you were already his alpha and that he was your omega..." Sero nodded his head. "But since then..."

"We won't let me mate with him," Sero grumbled with frustration. His arms were folded in front of his and his fingernails scratched at his sleeves. "Everything was perfect that night. Well...not perfect. There were the deaths..."

Bakugo spun around and snarled. "Of the fuckers who raped our...!"

Kiri grabbed his shoulder. "Yes! We know, Kat. But it was still Shoto's brother. So let's try to show a little sympathy?" But Bakugo just snarled more and walked away. Kirishima looked at Sero once more. "It's been a month, hasn't he gone through his heat?"

"He wore a collar!" Sero whined. "It's like he's determined to not let me mate him! I don't know why! He doesn't do 'that' work anymore. We've moved in together. Everything is perfect. But he doesn't want to become my mate." Sero chew on his nails. "Did I do it wrong? Did I move too fast?"

The kitchen staff, preparing dozens of turkeys and other dishes for the Thanksgiving feast in the guest dining hall, all stopped what they were doing and looked towards Sero. All of them had been listening and knew the full story. The kitchen had become the place where most alphas snuck off to to gossip or share the difficulties of their relationships. So they knew everything, but we're also wise enough to keep their opinions to themselves.

"I think..." Bakugo started, and Kiri and Sero sighed in preparation for some foul languaged rant, "...that you need to fucking man up, quit your bitching, and be happy with what you've got. Your wish was answered! The candycane brat is free and is yours. So why the fuck are you complaining?! Just be fucking happy with what you have and stop being a bitch and wanting more."

Sero took a minute to process all of that, translating the vulgar rant into wise words. "I... I guess you're right." He gave Bakugo a little smirk. "You know, I forget that sometimes you can give useful advice."

"I ALWAYS GIVE GOOD FUCKING ADVICE!" Bakugo roars, explosions going off in his hands.

"Yes! Yeah you do!" Sero quickly replied. "Always! Always do..."

Upstairs, to his dismay, Shoto was with everyone he didn't really care for. Looking around the room he could see the pregnant pair who were playing with Henry on the floor. Shinsou who watched them close by ready to care for them at any given moment. Ura, Mina, and Momo were sitting on the couches closest to Shoto talking about their plans for the day. Shoto stayed in his phone trying to make the time go by faster, he wanted to eat so he could go back home.

"Hey" Mina said making Sho turn his shoulder a bit to face her. "How have things been with Sero? I heard you guys are mates."

"No" Shoto said simply to the girls confusion.

"Why not? You two live together and are in love" Ura said trying to think of a reason why the omega wasn't mated to him.

"Why do you care? Do you want to mate with him?" Shoto snapped at her a little making Momo raise her eyebrow.

"Well we are allowed to care and ask. He's our family, we want to make sure everything is fine." Momo said crossing her arms a bit. Shoto didn't like their line of questioning. He was just there because he promised Sero he would sit tight while they went to cook. He started to fell like he should've went down with him.
