Who Am I?

Chapter 10

"Would you like to explain?" Dabi asked as he crossed his arms over his chest.

After Dabi had spent the night in the kids room, Izuku decided to explain everything that was going on to him. Izuku just couldn't bare the fact that his husband was mad at him.

"I don't know who I am," Izuku started. Dabi was about to start speaking but Izuku kept going. "I know. I'm Izuku Todoroki-Midoriya. I have two kids and a wonderful husband. I know that. I just don't know who I am. In regards to what I am.

"I don't want to be a hero. But at the same time," He continued. "I don't want to go back to hiding out in a lair just waiting to cause destruction.

"I want to be able to go around without people calling me Hero Deku. Or Villain Deku. I just wanna be Izuku Todoroki-Midoriya. I just wanna be Izu." He looked down.

Dabi's face had softened over the course of Izuku's speech. "Sweetie, you could've just told me that. You didn't have to go make me think that my beautiful husband was cheating on me. I just wanted you to tell me this. I want you to tell me everything."

"Okay." Izuku smiled weakly. "Okay."

"Okay," Dabi sat next to Izuku and held his hands. "What's Overhaul doing with you? Or to you. Or whatever."

"He's helping me... And so are Akeno Kitano and Eizo Shima." Izuku looked down as if in shame.

Dabi's eyes widened. "Those assholes are helping you?!"

"I'm sorry! But I need them! If you know me at all, then you know that I can't start something new until I finish something else. I need their help to get rid of Junichiro. And I'm sorry if that makes you mad or whatever. I don't care if you disagree with me. I'm doing this for my family. I'm just trying to do whatever I can to make sure my children stay safe. And you should be doing the same. Not blaming everything on me. I'm not in high school anymore! I can handle myself as well as you can." Izuku basically screamed. He was halfway to tears.

"Izu..." Dabi pulled Izuku into a hug, even if it was just Dabi holding him and Izuku just sobbing into his shirt.

"I just want my family to be safe. I don't care about the rest. I want Junichiro gone and I want my husband back." He sobbed.

"It's okay, baby. I'm right here. I just need time to adjust to those to idiots being around you."

Izuku nodded.

Ren came out of his room, holding onto his blanket, trying to wipe the sleep out of his eyes. "Daddy?"

Dabi looked up. "Yes, sweetie?"

"Why's Papa crying?" He slowly walked over to his two dads.

"A lot of stuff is going on right now, baby. It's okay." Dabi pulled away from Izuku and picked up his son. "We're okay, though. There's nothing to worry about."

"Okay..." He rested his head against his dads chest.

"Where's your sister?" asked Izuku. He was wiping his tears on the sleeve of his shirt.

"Sleeping."

"Why're you awake? It's only 9 am." said Dabi.

"I had a bad dream." Ren whispered.

"What was it about?"

"There was a guy with gray hair and red eyes. There was another guy with white hair and blue eyes. There were with Papa. Then Kaii was there too. You," He pointed at Dabi. "Were with Uncle Sho, Uncle Kacchan, Uncle Hito and Uncle Eiji. Then you were fighting. Daddy died in the end. Papa got hurt and so did my uncles."
