Love Me As I Am

12

It was now the second day of the week, long sleepover, and luckily a Sunday at that, so neither boys had to be up early to get ready for school. Hitoshi had left close to about ten the night before to let the friends hang out even though boy omega and beta said it was okay for him to stay. After sharing his story, Denki clung to the omega for the rest of that evening until it was time to sleep. An air mattress was blown up on the floor for Eijiro to use, but like most beds, it was still too small for him, so his ankles dropped down at the end.

Eijiro stretched out with a yawn as he woke up. His hair was in a mess of a bun that he would have to fix later. He rolled over to grab his phone and the time read nine AM. Denki's evened out breathing could still be heard from the bed as he slept, so Eijiro decided he would just stay quiet and play on his phone.

As the time went on, he eventually had to pull himself off the bed and relieve himself and brush his teeth but soon after he was back in the same spot as before watching some random videos on YouTube.

"Hey, Sparky!" A yell could be heard through the home along with some stomping, "Your ass better be dressed!" Was the only warning before the door came flying open to reveal the blonde he had dropped his friend off to one day.

"Good morning to you too, Kacchan." A still half asleep Denki moaned out as he rolled to face the dude.

"Who is this?" The gruff voice asked, Eijiro turned to see deep scarlet eyes looking back at him.

"This is Eijiro," A sleepy introduction, "Ei, this is Katsuki. Can I go back to bed now?"

"Hell no, get your lazy ass up it's almost lunch, and the pack is getting together, so get  your ass up!" His voice boomed throughout the otherwise quiet room.

"Fine give us time to shower and stuff." Denki finally pulled himself from the bed.

With a groan, the spiked hair blonde exited the room to let them get ready. "Is that normal?" Eijiro asked.

"Yea pretty much," Denki stood up and collected clothes for a shower, "He is basically the unofficial pack leader of the group. He keeps us all safe and together."

"He seems a little intense." Eijiro comments.

"Yea but he is good people. He cares he just isn't gonna show it freely." Denki took off to the bathroom to shower.

Eijiro stood up and opened his suitcase of clothes for the week and rummaged through to get his clothes for the day. "So who are you?" A voice scared him making him turn quickly, standing there was the blonde.

"I'm Eijiro Kirishima," He answered, "Just a nobody who is new to town. And you?"

"Katsuki Bakugo." His voice was almost a hiss, "I'm the pack alpha and your a stranger messing with my beta."

"I'm sorry," Eijiro says, "I'm sorry you feel that way but it's up to him who he wants to have around him."

"Are you trying to start a fight!" He stomped over and grabbed the taller male harshly by his shirt collar.

"I'm not trying to start anything." Eijiro was fighting to keep his omega side at bay to not back down.

"I don't like you. I don't like you in my town." He growled in his face harshly.

Eijiro decided to stay quiet and not respond. He didn't want to make things worse. "Get off of him, Katsuki." An angry growl came from the door. Eijiro looked to the side to see an angry Hitoshi standing there.

"You win for now." The boy let Eijiro go the shoved his way out of the room.

"You okay?" Hitoshi still fuming asked kindly.

"Yea, I'm fine." Eijiro let out a shaking breath.

"What's going on?" Denki came running in with a towel over his wet head and some boxers on.

"The asshole is just being an asshole." Hitoshi scoffed, making sure Eijiro was okay one last time before turning around to his mate.

Denki walked over to his friend upset. "I'm sorry about him. I don't know what his issue is."

"Maybe the fact he doesn't know how to be a decent human being." Hitoshi dropped down on the bed. Denki just sighed, not knowing how to respond. "Babe you can't keep sticking up for him when he treats people like this."

"The thing is he wasn't like this with me," Denki sat next to Hitoshi, "At least not this bad. Yes he said a few harsh things but he never did anything this extreme."

"People change as they age," Hitoshi held his lover trying to comfort him, "Some in a bad way."

"I'm gonna go shower." Eijiro spoke softly before grabbing clothes and walking out of the room.

The bathroom was two doors down on the left from where Denki's room was but he could still feel the presence of Katsuki close by. Once inside he quickly shut the door and placed his clothes ontop of a shelf that was perched up on the wall. He gripped the marble countertop hard enough to make his knuckles go white.

"Why me?" He whispered finally letting the tears fall, "Why is it always me?"

Outside the bathroom, Denki walked into the living room to find Katsuki sitting on the couch on his phone. Denki angrily grabbed his arm and dragged the alpha outside. "What the hell is your problem?" Katsuki hissed angrily.

"No Katsuki the correct question is what your problem is!" Denki yelled at him, "Ei did nothing to you and you just attack him!"

"He is a stranger who doesn't belong here!" Katsuki yelled pointing towards the home.

"He is a kind and caring person!" Denki shot back, "Just because you have severe trust issues doesn't mean the rest of us can't make friends!"

"I don't like him." Katsuki crossed his arms.

"You don't even know him!" Denki stomped his foot and balled up his hands.

"I know that you don't need another alpha hanging over you." Katsuki shot at him.

It was with those words Denki was able to put the pieces together. He was finally able to understand what happened. Of course, Eijiro didn't look like an omega. He was six foot two with the body of an wrestler. Even Denki himself mistook Eijiro as an alpha once.

Denki grew quite as he let his head hang, "You don't understand."

"And what don't I understand?" Katsuki questions.

"It's not my story to tell but just know that you don't understand." Denki turned to walk back inside, "We'll meet everyone up at the cafe."

"We?" Katsuki's face scrunched with confusion.

"Eijiro is coming with me whether you like it or not." Was his final words before walking back inside and slamming the door.
