Pack Means Family

Izuku Gets to Talk

Nemuri prepared to get the rest of the pack once breakfast was done.   She smiled, proud of her boy.  Katsuki really was really good at cooking and seemed to really enjoy it.   Nemuri called him her little "sous chef."    

Katsuki blushed at the title and quietly said, "Thank you, mama."

Nemuri puffed up when Yamada tossed her a happy grin.   Where his boys had taken to the parental names quickly, they weren't sure Katsuki would.   To hear the boy call her something like 'mama' made both pack members excited.  With that the woman paused to give Katsuki a quick snuggle before going  back to the boys' room to get the rest of the pack.

She paused at the door, smiling as she observed the scene.   Izuku was snuggled between Aizawa and Hitoshi with Hawks next to the purple haired child as they watched Emi act out one of the story books that she had found in the boys' room.   Hitoshi was cackling as Izuku watched with that same blank look he'd had.   The difference?   His body was completely relaxed between his brother and dad.

Nemuri knocked very gently, her heart aching when Izuku tensed, eyes flying to the door.   He relaxed when he saw it was just her and she smiled warmly at her nephew.

"So Katsuki said omelets were your favorite, so he and your papa made some really good smelling veggie omelets with cheese," Nemuri announced.   "Feel up to eating?"

Izuku nodded, letting Hitoshi get up before he started.   Hitoshi took his hand when Izuku reached for it and the two boys followed towards the kitchen.   The adults trailed behind, enjoying watching the children take care of each other.   In the kitchen, Yamada had helped Katsuki plate everything and let the blond set out the plate for Izuku and Hitoshi.

"C'mere, nerd," Katsuki said gently.   "Now, I made yours all by myself and I checked everything so it's totally safe."

Izuku blinked, glanced at it, then gave a little nod before hesitating and glancing around.   Hawks smiled as he directed a feather to gently nudge the boy towards the chair.

"Go on, eaglet," Hawks encouraged.   "You don't have to wait for us.   Katsuki said that one was yours."

Izuku blinked at him then walked to the chair, climbing onto it.   Yamada held his breath until his silent son began to eat.   It was slow and he kept glancing at everyone else, but he was eating.

Hitoshi and Katsuki took up the spots on either side of the boy and whispered reassurances to him as they ate as well.   The adults all took their seats and began to discuss what stores might be the best places to visit to get the sort of materials that they'd need to make Izuku's boards.  

They came to the agreement that they would make one for home, for Nemuri and Emi's place, for the teacher lounge, and a traveling board or book that Izuku could take to classes.  Aizawa made a list of basic things to include as well as some more specific things to Izuku - such as their names and specific omega needs.

By the time the boys were done with breakfast, and head cleaned up their places, the adults had a solid plan.   Yamada sent the children off to get ready for the day while the adults did the same.   

****

Hawks bid his farewell and said he had a short patrol to do, but he'd be back by dinner for some more time with the pack.

Izuku patted his hip and waited for Hawks to crouch down.   The silent child took his stuffed rabbit and gently tapped it against the man's cheek like it was kissing him.   Hawks beamed at his tiny omega nephew.

"Aww, a kiss from Usagi for good luck!" Hawks praised.   "Thank you, puffling.   I'll be back before you know it."

Izuku stepped back to Hitoshi and Katsuki, offering no sign he'd heard Hawks.  The man still understood and rose.
