The trio lay in Bakugo's bed cuddled together, it was a little cramped but they didn't care. Seiji lay on one side while Izuku lay on the other, Izuku gently caressed his sleeping pup's face as Bakugo combed through his hair. Izuku had told him everything, about where they've been, what happened to them, what happened when they came back.
Of course, Bakugo felt a range of emotions, mostly rage and sadness, but mostly relief and happiness. He was just happy to have them back in his arms, nothing else mattered to him. Not his mate's betrayal or their hatred towards him for what happened, he didn't care anymore. He had everything he needed right here in his arms and he will never let them go again.
"Are you alright with me like this? I know they aren't your pups but-"
"Izuku I love you and I'll love your pups like they're my own, I will happily be their sire," Bakugo smiled kissing his forehead.
Izuku buried his face in his neck, purring softly as he took in as much of Bakugo's scent as he could.
"I missed you so much," He said lowly.
Bakugo rubbed Izuku's large bump, "I missed you too, so much that it hurt to even think of you,"
Izuku entangled their hands, "Sachi's so excited to meet you, she's seen our memories of you and heard all the stories. She practically knows you better than we do at this point," he chuckled.
Bakugo tapped Izuku's forehead, "And now I know her just as well, I'll do my best to help raise them well,"
"I'll always be your favorite tho right?" Seiji asked sitting up a little.
Bakugo chuckled, "Aren't you too old for this now?"
"Dad says I'll always be your pup and dad makes the rules," Seiji shrugged.
"Dang, you got me there," Bakugo sighed making them laugh.
(Did y'all catch the parallel?🥺 Book 2 Ch.9, towards the end)
"Can we go home? I miss my bed," Seiji yawned getting up.
"Yeah, I've been up and about for too long," Izuku sat up "Can you move on your own?"
"I'm alright, they made sure I got some exercise in though I'll have to get back in the gym so I can lift you up like I used to," Bakugo began to stretch.
Izuku chuckled, "No rush,"
Seiji took Izuku's arm and helped him up from the bed after putting his shoes on for him. Bakugo got out of bed and walked over to the clothes folded neatly on a chair. Izuku and Seiji went to speak with the others as the Alpha got dressed.
The woman from before smiled, "I take it you're taking him back with you?"
Izuku smiled back, "I am, thank you so much for taking care of him,"
"Of course, he's our Alpha, it's only natural we do our best to care for him. We'll keep this from your mates, pack business should stay between us," The woman told him.
"I appreciate you Mai-san, you've always been loyal to me," Izuku hugged her.
She turned a deep red color, "A-Alpha you know my name?"
Izuku laughed, "Of course, I do, what kind of Alpha would I be if I didn't know the names of those in my pack,"
"We're not worthy of you," she sniffled.
"Oh stop that," he smiled "We should have that meeting soon, sometime next week maybe. I want to let the rest of my pack know of my return first," Izuku told her.
She nodded, "I'll start arranging things with the other clan leaders and have the meeting in the voids town hall,"
"Clan leaders?" Izuku asked.
