The Things You Left Behind | Kiribaku Omegaverse |

Why I'm Trying

I may handle some slightly sensitive topics in this chapter like losing a child before birth and hints of some alpha to omega abuse but this is a fanfiction book and I don't mean to worry anybody. Most is light anyway ;)

——————————————-

I don't really remember what happened for the rest of the evening. After crying for a while, I fell to sleep against the alpha's chest, breathing in his scent as my tears dried on his shirt. I don't regret anything I said to him then because I know that for once I think I told him the truth. So, I don't hate that I cried in front of him like I would with anyone else. Because he is my alpha and he's my fated mate for as long as we're both alive. I can't change that. I don't want to change that.

The words he told me as I drifted into sleep kept a firm hold in my subconscious just as much as I had a tight grip on it in return. They were quiet, short and hardly a whisper in my ear but, just hearing them I buried my head further into his warm chest, my hands grasping onto Kirishima for dear life. I already knew how much he still loved me; he had told me himself, but his voice in that moment is something I will cling to for a long time.

It's warm.

So warm.

This familiar scent . . .

My eyes flickered open into a fuzzy, dark space as my body lulled back slowly to the conscious world. I had to close my eyes a few more times before I could finally think clearer and see in front of me, even if most of me still had to catch up.

Almost immediately, my gaze fell on a splash of red falling over a soft sleeping face very, very close to my own. My heart almost jumped out of chest, jolting me awake as I realised Kirishima was sleeping right next to me.

Kirishima's crimson hair was let down and tumbled all over the pillow around his face. His mouth hung open a little, revealing the edges of sharp, shark-like teeth, and yet the alpha couldn't have looked less threatening. I noted that even though he had grown out of his chubby cheeks, his face looked remarkably soft, reminding me of his high school days. It was almost cute.

Maybe I moved a little unconsciously but my attention quickly shifted to some movement against my stomach, accompanied by a small groan. Akane was snuggled up close to me, cocooned in the blankets with her hands tangled in my shirt. Her brown hair was a mess, falling over her sleeping face in tangles and spikes of all kinds. It reminded me that I'd have to wash it soon but a smile was soon creeping across my face.

It's gonna be okay, baby-girl. I stroked her head gentle, brushing my hands over her hair as she slept. As my fingers ran through her light brown locks, she moved a little close towards my body before she calmed back down, her soft snores quickly returning as her hands loosened from my clothes.

"She's adorable." The soft comment made me twitch and I glanced up as the blankets pulled a bit over me.

Kirishima's gaze was unfocused and lazy but he didn't look away from me as I watched him. The alpha had sat up a bit so that his face rested on his hand, long red hair falling over his face. "Morning, Bakugou."

The half-asleep grin he flashed at me made my heart flutter so I glanced down at Akane again as I answered, preoccupying myself with fixing her hair. "Morning."

"Sorry for sleeping here." Kirishima apologised quietly, his voice still raspy from sleep. "I didn't mean to, but Akane had woken up when we went back in and I thought she could sleep in with you. You both looked so adorable last night I stayed here to watch but I guess I fell asleep too at some point."
