Piece of the puzzle, you're my missing part

[inheritance]

[It starts off as a normal day--well, almost normal. If it weren't for Todoroki being horribly sick and missing his classes, then it would've been just like any other day on the UA campus.

Still, his friend's been sick for quite a few days now, and Izuku can't help but worry about him. Once classes are out for the day, Izuku makes a beeline for the dorms, heading up to Todoroki's room and knocking on the door without hesitation.]

Todoroki-kun? It's me. [Hm, the door's unlocked. Izuku opens it as quietly as he can, peering at the lump on the bed when he steps inside.] Are you feeling any better?

Comments

[inheritance]

[It's obvious, from the way Izuku scrunches up his nose, that he agrees with Shouto wholeheartedly when it comes to his dad.]

Is he going to be a problem?

[Izuku doesn't think things have escalated in the Todoroki household since the sports festival, but...Shouto's also managed to keep everything secret for so many years. Suddenly worried, Izuku touches Shouto's cheek lightly.] You'll tell me if anything's going on, right?

[glaciers]

Yeah.

[Oh... He's not going to be able to keep secrets anymore. But then, Izuku already knows more about him than any one else. It's for the best that his alpha is somebody he's already put his trust in.]

I don't know. He won't be happy to know I'm an omega.

[inheritance]

Probably should have expected that. [Izuku mutters, none too happily. As obsessed as Endeavor seems to be about status and power, it would make sense that he'd have the same hyperfocus on the secondary genders, too.]

And what about you, Shouto? [His gaze sharpens, lingering on Shouto's face, even though his touch remains gentle as ever.] What do you think of being an omega?

[glaciers]

[He hasn't really had time to think about it or reflect on it, especially when all of his feelings were wrapped up in thinking Izuku was flat out rejecting him.

He misses the sharpness of the glance, eyes closed as he thinks about it.]

I don't know.

[The answer is on brand for him. He hasn't thought about it. He can't come up with an answer that sounds true besides just that.

He's happy Izuku's claimed him and wants him, but he'd probably be just as happy with Izuku as an alpha, beta or omega. His feelings transcend that secondary gender.]

[inheritance]

[Even if Shouto's eyes remain closed, Izuku continues to watch him, thumb idly stroking his mate's cheek.]

Take all the time you need to think about it. What your dad thinks doesn't matter, it's what you feel that's important.

[And it's a lot to think about. Izuku isn't too surprised that Shouto hasn't decided yet, considering the whirlwind this whole thing has been.]

[glaciers]

[ Shouto relaxes underneath Izuku's touch. He has somebody he can trust. Is he comfortable? He can't tell. ]

I'll let you know once I know how I feel.

[ His father won't matter once he's a pro, he'll be about to move out of the house. But right now... ]

[inheritance]

[That's all he can ask. Izuku gives a tiny nod before shifting again, this time to close the distance between them.]

Let's get some sleep. We have our first date tomorrow. [With a smile, Izuku settles, resting his hand on the small of Shouto's back as he draws his mate close.] We'll have time to figure out all the complicated stuff later.

[glaciers]

[Shouto is easily lulled to sleep with his alpha nearby, tucked against his chest he lets himself drift away.

So they might not be getting out of bed at all because Shouto feels a very familiar wetness between his legs and his cock getting harder as he wakes up. Embarrassingly, he finds he's been grinding against Izuku's leg.]

S...Sorry...

[He does his best to still his hips.]

[inheritance]

[Sleepy as he is, it takes Izuku a moment to catch up. When he does, he's suddenly wide awake.]

Shouto...? [There's a question in his eyes that quickly disappears as soon as he catches his mate's scent. Still enticing as ever, but with a note that wasn't there the night before. Oh.

Izuku's fingers clench in Shouto's shirt, feeling his body begi to respond.] It's okay. [He soothes, before settling his hand on Shouto's lower back and encouraging him to move against his leg.] What do you need?

[glaciers]

[What a ridiculous question- But he appreciates the encouragement, as he continues rubbing himself off against Izuku's leg. (It's much more well muscled than he thought. Izuku's so solidly built underneath all his baggy clothes-)]

I need you. I need you to fuck me...

[inheritance]

[They might have just woken up, but Izuku feels those words knock the breath right out of him, like a punch to the gut. As if he could stay calm, when his mate's being so needy.

With a little whimper as he feels himself harden, Izuku rolls them over until he's hovering over Shouto.] You have me, Shouto. [He tugs at Shouto's shirt insistently.]

[glaciers]

Then take me.

[Shouto starts tugging at Izuku's clothes. He wants his mate nude and as vulnerable as he's about to be.]

[inheritance]

[Izuku would huff in amusement if he weren't just as impatient as Shouto's being.]

You first, Shouto. [Trying his best not to be too rough about it, Izuku undresses Shouto as quickly as he can. The clothes are dumped in a pile to the side, piling up one by one until they're all there.

Fondly, Izuku presses a kiss to Shouto's bare shoulder.]
