we made our way to officer ted's car and of course, i sat in the middle. once we were about 5 minuets into the drive to the jail my mother and father were being held at, sho turned to me. "i didn't know you could fight. where'd you learn?" he asked. "my biological father's work was very dangerous. he got involved with a lot of dangerous and deadly people with bad tempers. he wanted me to be safe, so he had me train ever since i was 3 years old. i started learning with weapons when i turned 5 years old, but he left after he saw my weapon handling and my quirk. my mother kept me in training anyways, she wasn't afraid of me. she wanted me to be able to keep her safe, so i did. when i turned 8 years old, i stopped training at a studio, but i always kept training at home. i trained in secret so my mother and step-father wouldn't get mad or scared, but it was training nonetheless." i say. kacchan turns to me all of a sudden and says; "maybe we should spar tomorrow! i've never met somebody who can keep up with me in hand to hand combat, so maybe you can give it a shot" he raises his eyebrow. "a-are you sure, though?" i ask, a little worried i may hurt him. "ahh, please. what kind of damage can a tiny guy like you do?" he says teasingly. "well, if i eat meals regularly like i have been these past couple of days i have a lot more stamina. plus, i'm stronger than i look. i may look all skin and bones, but i do still have muscle." i say, combating his confidence. he nods. "suuuuure" he says. i can see he doesn't really believe me, so i guess i'll just have to show him tomorrow. i look over at sho and see he's smiling, so i leaned my head on his arm. "hey... i'm gonna go in alone to talk to them first. you guys can wait outside and listen or you can just wait until i come get you. it's just... i need to ask them a thing or two that they'll only answer if they think i'm alone. they may try to hurt me, but i'll be ok. so don't worry." i say reassuringly. they both nod in understanding.

we make it to the facility and officer ted walks us in. kacchan carries me on his back, because my ankle is still a little sore. he leads us through 17 locked doors and the last one is a smaller room. "this is where your mother is held, izuku. she can't hear us or see us right now. would you like to go in alone?" officer ted asks. i nod. he gives me a thumbs up and starts unlocking the door. i give sho and kacchan each a kiss on the cheek, then limp my way through the door. when i do, i shut it behind me. "hello mother." i say. she looks at me, then back down at the floor. "hey, 'zuku." is all she replies. "so, i have a quick question for you." i say, trying to keep my composure. "what is it?" she asks in an annoyed tone. "why did dad leave?" i ask. i make it sound more like a statement then a question. she looks up at me and grins.... she grins in a menacing way, it would break anybody who wasn't used to it. "he was scared. of you." she says in a tone that makes me cringe. "why was he scared?" i ask. "he was scared of your quirks." she replied simply. "quirks? as in, more than one? what are they?" i ask. she smiles. a genuinely terrifying one, at that. "where to start... well, first, you have amazing speed and stamina. second, you have the power to self heal 50% faster then any average individual. third, you can tune into a sixth sense where you can predict movement or attacks before any indication that they may happen, and fourth, you have strength and flexibility that no others possess. so, your father was scared that you could overpower him. and you could have if you wanted to. anyhow, he's dead now, so i hardly think it matters." she said in a sickeningly bland way; almost as if we're apart of a normal, everyday conversation to say that your father had died. it was hard to be sad, though. he left. whatever happened to him is his problem. i nod my head and try to catch my breath to keep my composure.

"hey, izu. got a cig? i've been DYING for a smoke." she says. i shake my head. "i don't carry cigarettes on me. i carry the burn marks from you and father using me as an ash trey." i say blankly. "you think that's a fucking joke?!" she stands up. "i don't give a fuck how bad you think we are! what's done is done, izuku!! S O  L E T   I T  G O." she says as she starts marching towards me. she grabs me by the collar of my shirt and pulls me up so i'm at eye height. i don't even hesitate before i grab her hand. "i suggest you let go of me, mother. if you do this, then i have visual evidence of you doing some stuff to me." i say. she grips a bit tighter and uppercuts my stomach. "SHO! KACCHAN!!" i say loud enough so they can hear. my mother drops me on the ground as they come busting through the door. "who the fuck are you?!" she asks. kacchan and sho ignore her and come to my side. "i'm ok, guys. i'm ok. she just hit my stomach, is all. if anything, i'm happy. we now have video and eye witnesses of this." i say. they smile and nod, then help me up. "we're his boyfriends. you are a terrible mother and a terrible person." sho says. welp, that's one way of putting it. i mean, it's true, but he should be a little scared. "so you're a player AND a fag. disgusting." she says. kacchan growls and i put my hand on his. "nope. i'm not a player. i just so happen to like the two people who saved me from your broken, sad life. as for being a 'fag', you can fuck right off with that shit." i say. sho carries me out the door, kacchan trailing closely behind, and head out and make sure to lock the door behind us. i let out a breath i didn't realize i was holding and begin to process what just happened. "so, first impressions?" i ask in a goofy tone. kacchan and sho both laugh a little. "your moms a bitch." kacchan says. "yeah, total bitch." sho agrees. i giggle and sigh. "yeah, but once you get to know her..." i look over at the door. "she is much, much worse. she can really break a person, ya know?" i say, turning back to the boys. they nod.

"on to my father?" i say. ted smiles and leads us through another set of doors. "ok, so you think you'll be ok this time, izu?" sho asks while putting me down. i nod and hobble my way in the door. "hey, father." i say. he looks up and runs over to me. "fucking asshole!" he slaps me. "what the fuck is wrong with you?!" he goes to punch me, but i grab his fist. "bad idea, father. there are video cameras everywhere in here." i say. "like i give a damn about some fucking video cameras!!" he says. "your problem, not mine. anyhow, i had a question for you." i state. "what?" he said in a pissed off tone. "why did you kill azure?" i ask. "the fuck? who's azure?" he says, obviously confused. "you know, my brother?" his face lights up as he understands and he smirks. "oh yeah, that sack of shit. he couldn't even handle a small beating." he said. "so, you've no remorse?" i ask. he shakes his head no. "of course not. his death was his problem. just like all the other guys." he says. "all the other guys?" i ask. he nods. "yeah, all those bastards i was hired to kill. they did something to piss someone off, not my problem." he says blandly. "ok. kacchan! sho! you guys can come in now!" i say as the door slowly opens and they come to my sides. "the fuck are they?" my father asks. "they're my boyfriends." i say in a matter-of-fact tone. "heh, i knew you were a fucking faggot!" he says. i nod my head. "simple minded being." i say as kacchan picks me up and carries me out, sho swiftly following behind. we exit the holding facility and head back to the car. once again, i sat in the middle, but i didn't mind. it was getting kinda dark out and i was a bit sleepy, so i rested my head on kacchan's arm and fell asleep on the way back to the dorms.

when i awoke, i was on the recliner huddled up with kacchan. i instantly feel hot in the face and let a yawn slip. kacchan looks so calm... it's cute. i scoot back into his warmth and enjoy the feeling of being with one of my boyfriends. i feel a kiss on the top of my head and look up. i smile at kacchan and he sits up a bit. "we should go eat, deku. uraraka and tsuyu made dinner tonight." he says. "ok... i'm still a little sleepy though..." i mumble. i'm still half asleep, but i don't really care. "cute..." i hear kacchan whisper to himself. i'm pretty sure he thought i couldn't hear him, but in an attempt to make him flustered, i say; "you're pretty cute, yourself." and boom. ladies and gentlemen, we got em'. he instantly goes as red as a tomato. i immediately run away and make my way to the kitchen and hide behind sho, who was quietly sipping a glass of water. "your leg feeling better?" he asks. "yup! all good!" kacchan then comes rushing in, still as red as can be, mumbling obscenities. i giggle and sho looks at me, then back at kacchan, then back at me. "what'd you do?" he whispers to me. "he said i was cute and didn't think i could hear him... but i told him he was cute too and ran away... and here we are." i whisper back. "y-y-y-you can't just run away!! face me like a man, goddamnit!" he says, trying to sound intimidating. it was actually just really cute. "gotta run!" i say to sho as i run around the table and to the hallway. i could tell he was running after me, but i was too fast for him. i got in the elevator and went up to the top floor where sho said they kept the piano. when i got there, it looked like nobody had been in there for years. i turn on the light and walk over to the grand piano kept in the centre of the room.
