Hijacked Hero (completed)

Chapter 33

POV Izuku

Izuku had a little trouble swallowing, but he managed it. Secretly, he was proud of himself for pulling it off and giving Kacchan some satisfaction as well.

"Come to me, babe," the alpha said as soon as he had caught his breath.

The greenette pushed himself back up and lay next to him, avoiding the intense ruby gaze. He was still a little embarrassed after the rush of hormones and pheromones.

"May I touch you again?"

Izuku nodded tentatively.

Kacchan took hold of his cheek and stroked it tenderly with his thumb. Then he kissed his forehead. "Thank you, that felt really good."

The omega didn't know what to say and remained silent. Instead, he enjoyed the closeness to his alpha.

... !!!

Had he really just thought of Kacchan as his alpha?! Clearly... Blurrily, Izuku remembered that Katsuki had referred to him as my omega at the beginning of his heat.

They should urgently clarify their relationship status. The alpha had confessed his love to him days ago, they had spent Izuku's heat together. Izuku had known for a long time who his heart belonged to. Kacchan had seen how broken he was, and wanted him still. It was probably time for the omega to own up to his own feelings.

"You're mumbling, nerd."

Izuku fell silent. "Sorry."

"It's okay, it's cute and reminds me of the old days."

The omega blushed and snuggled into the hug a little tighter.

"How about I run you a bath?" Kacchan asked.

"Th-that would be nice." After a moment's hesitation, he added: "Are y-you coming?"

"May I?" Katsuki sounded surprised.

"O-otherwise, I wouldn't a-ask," Izuku replied with a smile.

"Then definitely!" The alpha swung his legs out of bed and stood up. "Wait a minute, I'll put the water in."

A few minutes later, Kacchan returned from the adjoining bathroom. The omega was about to get up when Katsuki was already at his side, lifting him up in his arms. Izuku squeaked in surprise, causing the alpha to giggle.

He carried him next door and sat him directly in the bathtub. "Let me make the bed and put the laundry in the washing machine, then I'll come in and join you."

"O-Okay." Izuku let himself sink back and enjoyed the warmth. Although Kacchan had repeatedly washed away the sweat and other traces of his heat, a washcloth was simply no match for a bubble bath. He closed his eyes and let his mind wander.

If he returned the alpha's confession, what would change between them? Would they enter into a relationship - even mating? What about the public? Sooner or later, someone would find out and then his secondary gender would no longer be a secret. Could he deal with that?

A partner's mark could not be hidden forever. Its placement in the crook of the neck was too open for that, which was actually its purpose. The mark signaled that an omega had a mate and thus warned other alphas who they would be messing with if they got too close to said omega.

Izuku didn't know what to do. Could he really expect Kacchan to become his partner after everything that had happened to him? The alpha didn't even know everything the former hero had done during his imprisonment by Overhaul. Could Katsuki still love him if he knew?

The omega sighed. He had only received the confession a few days ago, and he was already thinking about a mating bond and the rest of their lives. On the other hand, Kacchan himself had already spoken of a lifetime ...

"You're mumbling again. What are you thinking so hard about?"

Izuku opened his eyes in surprise. He hadn't heard Katsuki come back into the bathroom.The alpha was standing in front of the bathtub, smirking. His upper body was naked and he was only wearing the low-slung sweatpants. Izuku could feel his cheeks heating up. He couldn't fight his nature. Those abs were just insane - and that V-line, too.

"My face is up here." The grin was clearly audible from the deep voice.

"I'm sorry," the greenette stammered and would have loved to dive into the foam.

Katsuki leaned forward. "It's okay, I like it when you look at me like that. Do you like what you see?"

"Yes," aspirated Izuku.

The alpha straightened up again and became serious. "Are you really okay with this?"

Izuku wordlessly slid forward so that he was sitting almost in the center of the large tub, making room behind him.

Kacchan understood him without words and took off his sweatpants. He paused at the tight black boxer shorts. "Should I leave them on? Would you prefer that?"

The omega shook his head. Katsuki slowly removed the last item of clothing. Due to Izuku's seated position, his gaze was almost at eye level with his manhood. He looked bashfully to the side and took a deep breath. This alpha wasn't going to assault him. It was okay that they were both naked. Kacchan wouldn't do anything Izuku didn't want him to do. He had proven himself to the grenette.

The water sloshed as the blond hero joined him in the tub. Sighing, he let himself slide into the tub and pushed his long legs past Izuku.

"You can always tell me to get out if it gets too much for you."

"It i-is okay," he replied.

"Can I touch you?"

Izuku nodded and looked over his shoulder. Kacchan watched him with a slight smile.

"Want to cuddle?"

For an answer, he let himself sink back until his back rested against the alpha's broad chest. The latter grumbled contentedly and hugged him. "I could get used to that." Katsuki placed a kiss on his neck and massaged his shoulders.

Izuku sighed and surrendered to the caress. His behavior spurred the alpha on and he placed kiss after kiss on his sensitive skin. The omega wasn't afraid to present his neck to him. He lowered his head so that Katsuki had free access to his most vulnerable spot. This gesture was not necessarily submissive. It also stood for trust and affection. Kacchan noticed it. The humming became louder, the kisses more intense.

A moan escaped Izuku's throat and he bit his lip, startled. The heat was over. He no longer had an excuse to behave like a cat in heat.

But then Kacchan licked over his scent gland. With a groan the omega gasped for air. A shiver ran over his skin. He remained in this position, surrendering himself defencelessly to the alpha.

Katsuki's lips traveled down his neck to his ear. "Can I get my hopes up?"

"H-hopes?"

"That you'll return my feelings after what we've shared over the past few days. The way I can touch you right now ... Do you love me too?"

Izuku smirked. "I'm way a-ahead of you."

"What do you mean?"

The omega pushed his musings aside and followed his heart for once. "I h-have known for over t-ten years that I love you."

Katsuki jumped in surprise. The water was sloshing dangerously and threatening to overflow.

"Really?!"

"Yes, r-really." The omega took a deep breath and concentrated. He didn't want to stutter with his next words. "I love you too, Kacchan."
