XXXIX: Captor to Captive

XXXIX: Captor to Captive

Third POV

The manor was relatively quiet for the rest of the day.

Akiko and Izuku remained in the nursery for the most part, as Izuku got to deciding what it was that he wanted.

His decision had to be good.

This was the rest of his and Akiko's life that he was deciding on.

Izuku sat on the floor, placing Akiko in between his uncrossed legs and watched her clap her little hands together.

From the open window, the sunset's rays poured into the otherwise dark nursery, casting a golden glow on the little pup.

"...What do you think, Akiko?" Izuku raised his eyebrows, his voice low as the little girl merely smiled at her dam, "Do you like him?"

"Katsuki."

Akiko rocked her body, her smile widening at the mention of the prime alpha.

"You like Katsuki..?" Izuku hummed, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her closer as she began to babble.

"Baba-! Ba-Ba!" She excitedly squealed, her hands flailing.

She was just a baby.

What would she know?

Izuku wondered the entire time, muttering to himself outloud,

"Akiko, would you have been like this if we were still with Yosetsu?"

The little girl only continued to babble, though, her attention partly on her dam while the rest was still on Katsuki.

Izuku wasn't sure what response he'd get from that either.

He pulled Akiko closer, pressing a kiss to her pudgy cheek.

An exhausted sigh fell from him.

Izuku was exhausted.

Tired of only having to turn to one thing and not getting a say because he didn't know or didn't have a choice.

Enough.

He had enough.

He could hear sudden popping noises fall from Akiko, looking at the little girl who looked exactly like him.

Izuku didn't want Akiko to end up like him.

He wanted people to be honest with her.

Honest about her.

This world was cruel.

So he couldn't always guarantee it.

However, he could certain try.

• • • Late Evening • • •

It was ten pm by the time Katsuki arrived back home.

The first thing he did was scurry off to his office, hoping that Izuku would be asleep by now so he could grab his stuff with the guise of night and return back to the company.
