Chasing Tinkerbelle (BakuDeku)

80 - So It Begins

Sighing, because he really wasn't sure what else there was to do, Izuku carefully pushed his chair back and decided to get another plate of food while Katsuki and the rest of the Bakugo men sat there, trying to avoid making eye contact with him and looking absolutely terrified.

Not that he could blame them since he did have a tendency to cry over the littlest things these days.

Not that he was proud of this or anything, but it was kind of interesting to see a bunch of Bakugos fall all over themselves to get him to stop crying, or when that didn't work, watching them beat the shit out of each other as they tried to get away, more than willing to screw each other over in an attempt to get away from him before he turned his sad eyes filled with tears on them.

Since they clearly expected whatever they were keeping from him to make him cry, Izuku decided that it would probably be a good idea to prepare himself for the worst with the help of the dessert tables.

They'd obviously taken advantage of his drug intolerance, brought him to Drueb, helped Katsuki marry him and for whatever reason, they were now doing everything they could to avoid talking about it.

Izuku considered sitting there, quietly crying with a sniffle here and there to screw with their heads until they finally caved and told him what was going on, but he decided that whatever they were hiding from him could wait.

Besides, he'd been craving a slice of that triple chocolate cake since the moment he'd spotted it when he'd walked inside the large restaurant.

Since he was starving, a bit cranky and admittedly amused by the way that all the men were walking on eggshells around him, he decided not to push the subject any further and just sit back, eat a slice of cake or two and simply enjoy the show.

He'd eventually find out what was going on, but until then... until then...

Izuku swallowed hard as the rich scent of warm chocolate teased his senses.

He shifted his attention to the new table being rolled out and nearly whimpered with pleasure as his babies shifted approvingly in anticipation as his eyes locked on the large fondue surrounded by every tasty morsel known to man.

Shifting nervously, he glanced back at the large chocolate cake that was waiting for him and found himself taking a step towards the large decadent treat that he'd been craving for the past hour only to stop and glance at the chocolate fondue table with a sigh.

Heaven help him, but he couldn't make up his mind.

Oh, he would have both, there was no doubt about that, but he wasn't sure which one he should start with.

It was then that Izuku realized that he didn't have to choose, not while he was carrying Bakugos.

"He can't tell him," Tenya argued as he shove his plate of food aside and joined the conversation.

"He has to," Hitoshi bit out, reaching out and grabbed Tenya's neglected plate and immediately begin to dig in, his glare locked on Tenya who was against keeping their mouths shut.

"I'm not going to lie to him," Katsuki said, shoving a spoonful of mashed potatoes in his mouth, wishing that he could actually allow himself to enjoy the bounty that surrounded them, but he had much bigger problems to deal with.

"We need to leave," Masaru repeated absently as he sat down with two large plates of food overflowing with food.

"Yes, we do," he said with a pointed look for each of them, glaring at them until they got the message, but since two of them were still focusing on their food out of fear of what his hormonal pregnant husband would do to whoever was foolish enough to make eye contact first.

Giving up on the cowards hiding behind their food, Katsuki shifted his gaze to his father to find him calmly eating his dinner, looking almost peaceful when they should all be panicking out of their fucking minds.

They'd been here too long and even with the three of them tagging along, there was still a very good chance that the curse would take notice and decide that this was a real honeymoon.

They needed to grab Izuku, get in a cab and get their asses to the airport, praying that the damn plane didn't get struck with the curse and make this a truly fucked up trip.

When his glare went unnoticed, he decided to shift his attention to his husband and see what he was... oh... fuck... no.

"Get up," Katsuki said hoarsely, unable to take his eyes off the scene in front of him, terrified that if he looked away even for a second that it would get worse.

A whole hell of a lot worse.

"What?" his father asked, reaching for the salt.

"Get up," he said, unable to take his eyes off the scene unfolding in front of him, telling him everything that he needed to know.

The curse had started.
