Chapter 1: A Glimpse of the Past
Part 1
Izuku's eyes fluttered open, and he was met with the familiar sight of his father's bedroom. He was lying on Aizawa's bed, surrounded by the comforting scent of his alpha. As he sat up, his memories began to flood back. He remembered the night before, and how he had snuck out to a party with some friends. Aizawa had found out, and they had a stern talking-to when Izuku got home. Izuku rubbed his temples, wincing as he recalled the lecture. As he swung his legs over the side of the bed, his gaze fell upon Aizawa, who was sitting on the couch, sipping a cup of coffee. "Morning, bubba," Aizawa said, his voice low and soothing. Izuku's heart swelled with affection as he smiled, feeling a sense of comfort wash over him. Izuku got out of bed and padded over to Aizawa, who set his coffee cup down and opened his arms. Izuku snuggled into the warmth of his alpha's chest, inhaling deeply as Aizawa wrapped his arms around him. For a moment, they just sat there, enjoying the quiet morning. As they sat together, Izuku's mind began to wander back to his past. He thought about the abuse he had suffered, the experiments, and the countless times he had been sold to strangers. Aizawa sensed Izuku's tension and tightened his hold. "Hey, kiddo, you don't have to think about that right now," he whispered. "You're safe with me." Izuku nodded, feeling a lump form in his throat. He knew he was loved and protected, but the scars of his past still lingered. Aizawa seemed to sense his emotions and gently stroked his hair. "Let's get some breakfast, okay?" he suggested. As they headed to the kitchen, Izuku's phone buzzed with a text from Hitoshi. "Hey, bunny! What's up?" Izuku's face lit up with a smile as he typed out a response. Aizawa watched him with a knowing glint in his eye, aware of Izuku's relationship with his boyfriend. As they ate breakfast, Izuku couldn't help but feel grateful for Aizawa's presence in his life. He had come a long way since their first meeting, when Izuku was just a scrappy little kid trying to survive on the streets. Now, he had a loving home, a supportive alpha, and a boyfriend who cared for him deeply. But as they finished their meal, Izuku's thoughts turned to his upcoming conversation with Hitoshi. He had been wanting to talk to him about his feelings, about his identity, and about his desires. Izuku felt a flutter in his chest as he wondered how Hitoshi would react. Aizawa, sensing Izuku's unease, placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "You know you can talk to me about anything, right, kiddo?" he said. Izuku nodded, feeling a sense of comfort in his alpha's words. As they cleared the table, Izuku realized that today was going to be a big day. He had a lot to discuss with Hitoshi, and he wasn't sure where to start. But with Aizawa by his side, he felt ready to face whatever came next. Izuku's phone buzzed again, and he smiled as he saw Hitoshi's name on the screen. "Hey, toshi," he typed out, his heart racing with excitement. Aizawa watched him with a knowing smile, aware that Izuku's conversation with Hitoshi was just the beginning of a new chapter in their lives.
