Todoroki's P.O.V.

"I see your men are here, Bakugou. Better tell them to stand down." Shigaraki states.

Poor Izuku, he has tears streaming down his face and his skin has gone completely pale. His chest heaves up and down erratically.

Behind my back, I text the squad what the plan is as Bakugou tells them not to use any weaponry yet. I've gotten quite good at texting without looking, being the leader of a Mafia and all.

Shoto: Squad, what I want you to do is, as soon as I text you go, I want Iida to run up to Midoriya and push him out of Shigaraki's grip, hopefully sliding him onto the ground. I want Uraraka to grab the wrist Shigaraki has the knife in, and get the knife out of his hand. I want Tsu to jump on him and pin him down. The rest of the squad point your guns and shoot at him if he tries escaping.

The Squad: Got it, Sir!

I wait about another forty-five seconds before giving the squad their signal.

Shoto: Go!

The plan goes perfectly, except for one minor thing. As Iida runs to Izuku, Shigaraki is temporarily surprised, which causes him to loosen his grip. Izuku falls to the ground, but not as planned. He passes out from fear.

I run and pick him up bridal style carrying him away from the danger, and to the couch. I let everyone else deal with Shigaraki, I need to take care of Izuku right now. He's my top priority.

Everything else goes perfectly as planned. Uraraka wrestles the knife out of Shigaraki's hand, and Tsu tackles him, pinning him down on the hard pavement.

Everyone else holds him at gunpoint.

Around five minutes later, Bakugou walks back inside, informing me the squad had taken Shigaraki away.

I leave Izuku on the couch, and fill up a glass of water for him when he wakes up. Meanwhile, Bakugou and I have some decisions to make, and conversations that must be held.

"So... I guess this means we have to tell him." Bakugou says.

"I suppose so. I didn't want to ever have to tell him. But it's inevitable." I sigh.

Midoriya's P.O.V.

••• 15 minutes later •••

I blink my eyes open... and I'm not dead! That's always great. I look over and see Shoto and Kacchan looking at me. Shoto hands me a glass of water.

"Drink this, it'll help."

I sip at the water. I sit up, curling myself into the cushy corner of the couch. I have a lot of questions about what had just went down. Almost reading my mind, Kacchan speaks up.

"I know you have a lot of questions, love. Shoto was nice enough to offer to explain. So, here he goes. Whenever you ready, Shoto, Babe." Kacchan gestures toward Todoroki.

"Well, first off, we are in the Mafia. More specifically, the leaders of one of Japan's most infamous Mafia." He starts, taking a deep intake of breathe.

"The guy who came to our doorstep when you had just woken up was a member of our Mafia. His name is Iida. He was telling us how he thought one of our rival gangs was trying to kidnap you because they saw how special you were to us. They wanted you for themselves. Shigaraki- the bluenette that tried kidnapping you- was a very high, powerful member of that gang. That's basically it for now."

I shakily inhale. This is a lot to take in for what seemed like only a few words.

"Why have you guys never told me?" I questioned.

"To keep you safe, Kitten." Todoroki replies, while Bakugou stood there fidgeting in silence.

"...have you guys killed people?" I rub tears from my eyes.

"Unfortunately, yes. But never without a reason."

"Okay... okay. I'm so sorry- this is a lot."

Bakugou speaks up after a while.

"You're still alright with us, right?"

"Of course! I love you both more than anything. Nothing is going to change, right?" I look up at them, glancing from one to the other.

"Well, life might be a little more dangerous, but you have us to protect you. Along with the whole company who we can call anytime, any group of people, for whatever reason." Shoto says, truthfully speaking.

"That's good... so you guys want to eat ice cream and cuddle while watching a movie?" I smile, taking the subject away from serious matters to something more light and cheerful.

Todoroki and Kacchan laugh at my innocence and my joyfullness.

"Of course, babe." Kacchan says to me, going to the fridge to grab my favorite ice cream flavor. Mint chocolate chip.

I scoot into the middle of the couch, with Todoroki sitting on my right side and Kacchan on my left.

I set the ice cream container down on my lap, as we all watch a movie and eat ice cream straight from the bin using our respective spoons.

I love my boyfriends.

I start falling asleep on Kacchan's shoulder halfway through the movie, and I can feel him pick me up and carry me to bed as I peacefully fall asleep.

I had calming, peaceful dreams that night despite the terrible events of today.
