Chapter Text
The omega has no idea how long he's been there, perhaps a month or even more than that; it's been a while since Izuku stopped counting the days. He has a muzzle on his face because he's been labeled as a troublesome omega by his captors; he knows most of the people there are afraid of the ones who keep an eye on the cells, but every time Izuku watches as a guard mistreats an omega he has to do something.
That's why he's in isolation now.
The people in that facility sell omegas to very rich an powerful alphas all around the world; Izuku was abducted and brought there right after his mother died. He hasn't had the time to mourn her properly.
It hasn't been easy, but he knows it's worse for the others; the people in charge said Izuku was taken by his beauty and mesmerizing scent (even though he's sure he's not a prime omega), they were very excited when he first got there, but that sentiment turned into disappointment very quickly when they realized Izuku was quirkless.
It's been like that most of the omega's life; he's tried to date alphas, find connection with someone who shares the same excitement as him when it comes to form a family and have pups. But the moment the alphas realize he was born without a quirk, they tell him directly that they don't want to risk it and have children that could end up like him.
However, they usually offer to have a casual relationship with him, but Izuku always turns them down.
A couple of years ago, he got used to the idea that no alpha or beta would want him, so he considered the possibility of dating omegas and finding someone who could be a parent with; they could find a donor and Izuku would be gladly to carry the pup.
However, even the omegas don't want to have quirkless kids; they are on board with the plan, as long as none of the children have Izuku's genes.
That was the third time his heart got shattered, however, he's never given up. He decided to have a child on his own. It doesn't matter how his pup turns, he just wants them to be healthy and give them as much love as his mother gave him when he was young.
Izuku sighs, looking around his room that's actually a prison. Now he won't have that possibility either because his captors want to sell him anyway, but as a companion, not as someone who would ever get married or have pups. Tied to an alpha who only wants sex from him.
However, he hasn't being sold because he's constantly in trouble trying to protect the other omegas around and he ends up with bruises and injuries on his skin after trying to fight with the guards.
So he's been put in isolation for the time being so his injuries heal, and he can look pretty for the buyers.
This is certainly a nightmare that he naively thought didn't exist in the world. However, he's determined not to give up.
He's certain it's nighttime, because the guards move around a lot when there's going to be a change of shifts.
Suddenly, an alarm Izuku has never heard before goes off, and he gets closer to his metal door; he knows he won't get an answer if he asks, and it'll probably be impossible for them to understand him because of the muzzle. It's been a whole day since they put it on him, as a punishment, which is why he hasn't drank water or eaten anything.
He hears he people outside running and screaming ; he just hopes the other omegas are alright, but then, detonations start to be heard in the distance.
Izuku's inner omega makes him start banging against his own door with his hands. He doesn't worry that much about himself at this point, but there are a lot of people who don't deserve to suffer even more.
"Are the others alright? You have to evacuate them!" He yells, but he knows it's useless. He's less than an object to them, they would never listen to him even if they could.
At the other side, he can hear the guards screaming something, they sound scared and worried; something went wrong, but Izuku can't tell what it is. However, the explosions get closer.
He gets ready; he knows that he'd probably die, but if the explosion destroys his door he could have a chance of survival and perhaps manage to get out of there.
"WHERE IS HE?"
A new voice bellows right outside and there's something familiar about it, a voice that he hasn't heard in years.
"DEKU!"
Izuku is not sure how his childhood friend knows he's there; he's actually shocked that the number one pro hero still remembers him, but that doesn't mean he's not absolutely relieved to hear his voice again.
"Kacchan! Here!"
Izuku desperately tries to take the muzzle off, but it's useless, there's a padlock at the back of it.
Katsuki growls again before he knocks the two guards down (or at least the omega hopes that's the case).
"Deku, if you're here, get way from the door. I'll try to only blow up the lock, but the thing might collapse because of the energy of the detonation."
Without hesitation, Izuku retreats to the other side of the room; he hears the small explosion, amazed at the control Katsuki has over his quirk now.
The door almost falls inside the room, but the alpha catches it on time, and like it doesn't weigh a thing, he moves it to the side with ease.
Katsuki has turned into a very tall, and strong alpha during the years they didn't see each other.
When the dust fades, and red eyes meet his, Izuku gets scared of the amount of rage he sees there. Feeling a bit confused, he hears his inner omega purr in response and then he realizes that Katsuki is not angry with him but at what those people did to him.
The alpha's hands are trembling when he crosses the distance between them; he reaches towards Izuku's face, but he doesn't touch it.
"Who did this to you?" He growls as he immediately tries to remove the muzzle. Izuku wasn't exactly tortured when he was there, but he though he'd eventually grow wary of all alphas, however, his inner omega clearly feels safe next to Katsuki. Perhaps it's because he smells familiar, of a time he had no idea that the world could be this cruel. "Don't move, I'll blow up the padlock"
Once again, Izuku is not afraid, he just stays still, hears the tiny explosion and feels completely different as soon as he doesn't have that thing over his mouth.
It's hope. He feels genuinely hopeful again.
"We have to get out of here, I'll deal with the bastards later. Don't worry they won't be able to escape. The place is surrounded by pro heroes."
Izuku nods, fascinated to see his childhood friend as a professional hero.
"Can I touch you?"
"Yes, but I can perfectly walk on my own, if that's what-"
Dynamight doesn't let him finish, neither does he hesitate, he carries the omega in his arms before getting out of there.
The rest of the night feels weird; Izuku seems to have disconnected himself from everything else. His energy has decreased completely and he's barely aware that Katsuki is yelling orders and starts snarling at anyone who gets too close to Izuku, even his coworkers.
"If any of you calls a reporter or gives any of them some sort of information I'll fire you on the spot!"
Izuku, along with the other omegas, is taken to an hospital for pro heroes; he doesn't get it, until he hears Uravity say that they want to keep the identity of the victims a secret.
He's thankful for that, and somewhat relieved, until he remembers that he's also a victim. Even though he doesn't feel like one, because the other omegas suffered more than him, it certainly makes him feel different somehow.
Dynamight doesn't leave his side, only when a doctor asks him to be outside the room to make a physical evaluation. Once it's done, they allow the alpha to walk inside. They tell both of them that a psychologist is going to get there as soon as possible.
"How are the others?" Izuku asks the pro hero, who smiles in return.
"I'd say it's more important for you to focus on yourself, but I know that's useless; you're as selfless as you used to be."
"I'm not-"
"They're fine," Katsuki cuts him off, crossing his arms over his broad chest. "We managed to save them all, the ones in the facility at least."
Izuku sighs, feeling so much better now, despite the minor pain on his face and arms. He knows the ones who got sold before that day are in another place at the moment, but he's glad the others are free now.
"Thank you, Kacchan," the omega smiles, turning his head towards the alpha standing next to his bed.
"It was a group effort, nerd. I was just part of it."
Despite being known for his hunger for praise, Dynamight looks back at the omega with an almost shy expression on his face. His cheeks are slightly pink.
"I can keep an eye on him, boss!" The presences of another person in the room startles Izuku, but he relaxes somewhat when he notices that she's clearly someone who works for Katsuki's agency. She's not a pro hero, but perhaps some sort of assistant.
She's a very pretty omega, who clearly wants the attention of the pro hero, judging by the way she wears her collar; it's a bit open at the front, a clear invitation for the alpha in front of her.
Izuku remembers Katsuki when he was just a pup. He presented first, (apparently is common among prime alphas) and immediately tried to bite little Izuku. He succeeded, but the bite didn't turn into a permanent one because the green haired kid was 3 at the time, and therefore, not technically an omega yet.
His parents punished him accordingly; he couldn't see Izuku for weeks, only during school. And even there he couldn't get too close because the teachers were informed about the incident and kept them apart.
Katsuki finally couldn't stand it anymore and swore he would never bite Izuku without his permission and after courting him properly. He even apologized to his little friend and Inko, and he was so cute he melted everyone's hearts.
Then, Izuku turned out to be quirkless, and despite Katsuki saying he had ruined his perfect plan, he still said he was going to make him his mate anyway.
They fought after that, the little omega didn't like that Katsuki thought he was better than him for having a quirk, but Izuku still wanted to be with him forever (he had no idea what meant to become someone's mate at that age). However, everything changed when Izuku saw him bullying another kid.
He confronted his friend, and said he didn't want to be mates with someone who hurt other people.
Katsuki was so hurt, but he didn't know how to deal with those kind of feelings then, so he turned everything into anger and said he didn't actually want Izuku, that he'd get the perfect mate for himself! Someone with a quirk!
That's when they grew apart. But Izuku can tell he's changed a lot, especially after noticing the people around him stare at him in awe.
He deserves his perfect mate.
"No, I'll stay here."
The beautiful omega grows a bit upset when she realizes the pro hero hasn't looked at her once.
"But you must be tired, Dynamight-san!" The girl insists, getting closer to him. She's batting her long eyelashes at him.
"She's right, Kacchan. You need to rest. If you don't have anything else to do here, then go back home! I'll be fine."
"There are a few things I have to sort out."
"Then go grab a coffee or something. Actually, I can stay here alone, no need for any of you to take care of me."
The pretty omega likes the second idea better and she tentatively tries to grab the alpha's arm, but he turns around to glare at her.
"You know I don't like to be touched."
"Oh, yeah! Sorry, my bad!" She apologizes. "But we can still go get something to eat."
"I'm not hungry, I want to stay with Izuku."
Katsuki then gets closer to the bed and offers the green haired omega some water; he helps him drink it despite Izuku telling him he can do it himself.
The look the omega throws at him over the pro hero's shoulder makes him realize that the woman doesn't like him at all. He'd like to tell her she has nothing to worry about, but he's really tired at the moment. She'll figure it out herself.
He has a more important question to ask. Well, maybe a couple.
"How did you know I was there? How did you find them?"
The omega regrets both of those immediately, because they make Katsuki incredibly sad; he starts tearing up, Izuku just saw him cry once, when his mother and him moved out of their old house.
"Izuku, please, please... You have to believe me when I say this: I am not the piece of shit I was when we were children. You deserved a better friend. I just... I'm truly sorry and I hope one day you can forgive me for everything I did."
"Kacchan, I forgave you a long time ago!"
Still tearing up, the alpha collapses on the chair next to the bed and leans closer to pull him into his arms. A bit confused, because Katsuki just said he didn't like physical contact, he hesitates, but when he realizes that the alpha probably needs it, he hugs him back.
The alpha doesn't stop touching him, he leans even more to rest his head over Izuku's chest. The omega runs his fingers through his spiky hair, thinking that the position must be killing Katsuki's back.
It's amazing how safe Izuku feels next to him considering he's a very powerful alpha, and the fact that he spent a month in a place where alphas took advantage of their own strength to control omegas.
"That still doesn't answer my question, Kacchan," he whispers softly, still stroking the blond's hair.
"I went to apologize, when I finally grew a pair and knew what was the right thing to do, I looked for your Mom at the address my old hag had, bu then I found out she wasn't... there anymore and that you owned the apartment. But when I got there I found it completely destroyed and your All Might collection on the floor. That's when I knew something was not right. I can't believe you're still a nerd, by the way."
Despite relieving painful memories, Izuku can't help but chuckle at that.
"I bet you still are a nerd too, Kacchan."
"Damn right I am!" Katsuki lifts his head so he can wipe the tears from Izuku's face with his thumbs. "I started looking for you, and by doing that I stumbled upon these assholes, and I got even more scared for you when I realized that they sold omegas. I... did everything I could to find you as soon as possible because I knew that if they had already given you to an alpha, it'd be more difficult for me to search for you. I'm sorry it took me so long, Izuku!"
That's when the omega finally notices the shadows under the alpha's eyes; he's truly exhausted.
"I bet you didn't sleep much," Izuku scolds him gently. "It's alright, Kacchan. You found me and all those omegas and that's all that matters."
"Can we stay together from now on, Izuku?"
"Of course, Kacchan," he smiles back, trying to calm his inner omega down. Fortunately, he has very clear that he's not a desirable omega to start a family with. "You'll always be my friend."
"Right... friend."
A couple of minutes later, the pro hero falls asleep, with his head over the omega's chest and immediately starts purring.
The loud sounds bring a couple of nurses to the room and finally the doctor, whose eye twitches in a very exasperated way.
"Do you want me to kick him out of here, Midoriya? It'd be my pleasure!"
Izuku thanks her for worrying about him, but the omega assures her that he's completely fine.
Besides, he likes Katsuki's burnt caramel scent.
"Let him sleep, I'm fine," he says. "He saved me, it's the least I can do for him."
The doctor rolls her eyes, but she gives in.
"I'll check on the others and come back in an hour. If he's still there, pressing down your lungs, I'll grab him by the collar and drag him out of here if I have to."
"Understood!" Izuku chuckles, feeling a lot better despite everything that has happened.
He makes a mental note to wake Katsuki up in a few minutes, but he falls asleep right away.
