I had this shit in my drafts for a long time now and lost motivation on it, total writer's block on how to end the last like 5 chapters and so I kept trying to add to it more and more before getting a weird restart and a overwhelming sense of having to continue this and finish it. Very weird I know but, my brain is weird as shit so here we are.

Ya'll love my weird brain though because then you get some fucked up shit like what you're about to read, aww yeah!!!!!!

I am also trying a new writing style with this one. Instead of the POV switching from one to the other, it's a third POV to give context from everyone's train of thought. Let me know how you like it.

Enjoy the reading, it took a total of probably six months of writing and editing for this shit because I literally struggled for months on how to end this. Not gonna lie, I thought about killing them both off in the end and then realized I choose life and some of you for sure would have hunted me down.

Anyway, have fun.

Chapter Text

Totally stole this from my other story but, same shit applies.

This story takes place in the omegaverse. Below are some definitions for those who are curious to know what some things mean when used in this story and others. Hopefully, this helps those still wondering what certain things are or just coming into the conversation about what it all means.

Google is great too but, as the writer of this story and overall omegaverse lover, this is how I interpret these things. Fully my opinion, please message/comment if you do or do agree, I like hearing others' opinions and views on this stuff. Plus it's fun to see how other people are reading the same thing as you and understand it differently.

I got all these definitions online so feel free to believe in what you're already believing or consider these. The fun thing about fanfiction and being a reader is you picture the story however you want and that's okay!!

Alpha:
Commonly the most territorial of the typing and are commonly (but not always) the most dominant. They exhibit knots and go into ruts.

Beta
A general term for someone who is between being an Alpha or Omega. They are able to detect scents and are able to scent others, but they do not possess all the anatomical or biological parts of either an Omega or Alpha.

Omega:
Commonly the least territorial of the typings and are commonly (but not always) the most submissive. They exhibit heat and will have a womb or womb-like structure (depending on the primary sex).

Pups
A general term for young Omega-identified individuals, but can also refer to children in general.

Slick:
Usually, the female Omegas produce copious amounts of a sexual fluid called "slick" when they go into heat to make breeding easier, (but given that this genre got its illustrious start in queer fan fiction, males Omegas often have self-lubricating anuses and are often, but not always, capable of getting pregnant.)

Courting:
Courting can be used as loosely as just another word for dating or as restrictive as a whole set of rules that must be followed. I tend to lean more towards the latter. To me, it's basically an Alpha who likes an Omega and wants them as their mate so they court them.

Mates:
Partners that are bonded through mating and can form a potentially permanent psychic connection (not in this case but sometimes in others)

Marking/ Mated:
A process that involves marks of possession called mating bites, which can be given by both Alphas and Omegas (just alphas in this story). These bites are usually given during heats or ruts and can be very pleasurable for the recipient

Heat/ Heat Cycle:
Omegas (sometimes betas) go through heat cycles, and Alphas and Omegas are attracted to each other through pheromones. Some omegas/betas use suppressants in order to reduce their scents during this time or skip them altogether.

Nesting/ Nest:
A structure that Omega-identified individuals build, most commonly during heat and while pregnant. It can vary in appearance but serves a calming purpose during a heat cycle.

Rut:
In the context of omegaverse fiction, a "rut" refers to a highly intense, almost uncontrollable biological urge experienced by an alpha male, typically triggered by the proximity of an omega who is in heat, driving them to mate with the omega due to their strong pheromone signals; essentially, it's a period of heightened sexual desire and aggression focused on reproduction.

Scents/ Scenting:
Behavior in which partners rub each other to transfer their scent. Most frequently happens in the context of nuzzling the neck. May or may not be sexual.

Scent Glands:
Pheromones are produced mainly by scent glands on the wrists, neck, cheeks, and, for omegas, genitals. In claiming a mate, alphas will generally rub their face and hands on the face and neck of their chosen omega, as an additional warning to other alphas that this omega is claimed.

Pheromones:
In the Omegaverse fictional universe, "pheromones" are chemical scents naturally emitted by characters, primarily Alphas and Omegas, that trigger strong instinctual responses like attraction, heat, and submission, often playing a central role in their mating dynamics and social hierarchy; essentially, they act as powerful biological signals that influence behavior based on their scent alone.

Basically, scent is the smell you give off, pheromones are using your scents to do something to the other person, (scenting, calming, domination, arousal, etc).

Presenting:
If someone were presenting as an Omega their scent would become sweeter, an Alpha's scent would become more potent and heady, and Betas would have a neutral but warm scent -For Alphas and Omegas, their scent begins to change shortly before a first heat or rut. (Can also mean putting their ass in the air, begging to be fucked/mounting for mating)

Crooning:
In the Omegaverse, crooning is a deep, rumbling sound that makes an Alpha's chest vibrate, similar to an omega purring.

Knot/ Knotting:
A process that involves tying the partner to the Alpha during copulation. This can be done by both Alphas and Omegas but is usually done by the Alpha.

Purring:
Omegas will purr over almost anything that makes them happy, content, or feel in love. They'll purr to their pups as a comfort, to their friends as a show of friendship, and to their mate when in love.

Whimpering:
Whimpering is a sign of surrender by an omega to a dominant wolf. It's often part of a display of dominance and submission that reinforces the social hierarchy of a wolf pack.

Intercourse/ Pregnancies/ Male Pregnancies:
When it comes to mating and what hole it might be going into, it changes from author to author. Because this story involves a male omega and male pregnancy, you might be wondering, where is that baby coming out from and what sort of reproductive system does this guy have? To answer your question, that's up to interpretation.

Sometimes male omegas have an additional hole in place of their balls or where the taint is you'd find a pussy instead, other times they have all male features but no dick and a pussy, other times it's only the normal amount of holes and organs but with multiple purposes like an anus that also has a reproductive use. In this case, I didn't specify one or the other so whatever you prefer to think or choose, roll with it.

Again, these are all up to interpretation and don't mean you have to change how you've been thinking about it already. Enjoy the story and others in the omegaverse as you see fit. 🥰🥰🥰

Chapter Text

The Crimson Kingdom is known in this realm for its absolute beauty. To the north were high mountains that seemed to touch the stars. In the west and east were thick woods with several roads leading into the kingdom. Lastly, in the far south was the beautiful ocean. It was a perfect paradise. Inside the walls, there was paradise, too. People enjoyed life and made the most of it however they saw fit or however they wanted to.

The royal family were dragon hybrids but the people they ruled were of all species, making this kingdom slightly different than the rest with their inclusiveness. There was no discrimination among the people when it came to their hybrid. The royals would like to think there is no discrimination among secondary genders either but that wasn't the case. Omegas would always be at the bottom of the food chain, alphas riding on top, and betas only socially acceptable. Despite this, there were still some who couldn't care less about any of that and just lived their life to the fullest.

Among those who are optimistic, is rabbit hybrid Izuku Midoriya.

There were several messenger stations around the kingdom, and he happened to work for the busiest one. It was close to the castle, which allowed him to make some trips to the vast building itself, like today.

The small rabbit stood in front of the large iron gates with their kingdom's crest of a 'C', wondering what was in the decently sized box he held. Usually, he handed his deliveries off to a servant, but this had a note to be taken directly inside which was intimidating for sure.

The two guards out front were tall and hid their faces behind their helmets. Even though their eyes couldn't be seen, their stares felt like they reached the poor rabbit's soul. He nervously smiled at them.

"Uh, hi. I have a delivery for the prince. Fruit from the Silver Kingdom." He stated, letting them read the note attached on top. The guards looked at each other and then opened the gates.

The greenette breathed out a sigh of relief but the tension was still there as he walked inside. He had only been allowed out front, never in the impressive building itself. In the entrance was a black marble floor, columns along the long hallway, and several rooms off to the sides of them. Izuku raised both brows, admiring everything in sight as he saw it all for the first time and yet felt like he had been here before.

Another guard approached him and read the note, again his face hidden. He grabbed the greenette by the upper arm and aggressively pulled him along the hall. His feet felt like they were being dragged before his body was thrown on the floor of a large lounge room. A table was in the middle of the room, black oak, and hand carved as it sat three nobles. They chatted and were shouting over something until their attention was taken by the guy just thrown on the floor. They peered over, looking down at the poor messenger just thrown on the floor.

The rabbit stood up, brushing himself off before lifting the box once more. He sighed as the nobles stood in front of him inspected him, interested in the new guy. "H-hi. I have a delivery."

It came out more like a question and he cursed himself. The three men in front of him towered over his smaller stature as they looked at him like their meal. They were all dragon hybrids and had this aura about them that said he should be wary of them as all three eyed him, smiling. Izuku felt cold suddenly feeling very exposed with their eyes on him. Truthfully he was just a new and adorable face to them which they wanted to know about.

Lucky for the rabbit, he couldn't smell the probable pheromones coming off the betas and alpha. They smiled down at him as the redhead of the group grabbed the note on top. He read it and looked at the far corner of the room. "Bakugo, it's for you! Stop sulking in the corner like a weirdo."

The greenette's gaze shifted to the darkened corner of the room where a big, fur-felt-covered chair held a glaring prince. He growled, annoyed to be disturbed before standing and stalking over to them. He was taller than the others by a few inches, his blonde spikes brighter in the sun rays that came through the window behind him. Horns sprouted out of the spikes and pointed behind him.

Everyone had control over their hybrid features which meant he was wearing them out on purpose, an intimation tactic, and it was working on the poor rabbit. He wore fitted blue pants, black and thick boots, and a red cape that just barely kissed the ground while it wrapped around his shoulders on either side. A wide chest and impressive abs were on full display with a black beaded necklace, a red tooth-like looking necklace, and matching red sharpened earrings that made his crimson eyes seem to glow. There was a tattoo on his upper left shoulder of his kingdom's crest with red leather sleeves on either forearms and elbows, black designs in them to signify royalty.

In conclusion, he was a very scary alpha walking directly at the small rabbit with murderous intent written on his very handsome face and tension in his rock-hard body.

Izuku suddenly felt smaller than he already was, only in tan pants, red shoes, a white shirt, and a loosened green vest. The rabbit nervously adjusted the thick brown leather collar on his neck. There was nothing special about him, nothing that said 'fear me' unlike the prince who now stood in front of him. The rabbit couldn't help but feel like maybe he had seen him before, met him before this day. Then again, there was no reason for the prince of the kingdom to be anywhere near a commoner like him.

Crimson eyes scanned over the smaller body. The prince found him sort of cute, but he had interrupted his work. "What the hell is this?"

"Looks like Tetsutetsu sent you some of the weird fruit he brought last time." A raven-haired beta stated as he opened the box and lifted a pinkish and oddly shaped fruit which emerald eyes had never seen before.

The prince still had his sights on the curious little messenger, also finding him sort of familiar in a weird way. The handsome blonde took in the fresh mint and the somewhat earthy scent coming from the rabbit, soaking it up as he seemed to have smelled it before. His green eyes are what the blonde couldn't pull himself away from glimpsing at. The alpha had traveled a lot in his twenty-four years of life, but he had never seen such beautiful eyes on someone before. He had also never seen so many freckles on someone and it was fascinating and exciting at the same time. After one more scan of the smaller man before him, the prince glanced at the fruit. He recognized it, not remembering how it tasted. Using a dagger on his side, he cut the fruit open and scrunched his face immediately from the foul smell.

The blonde noble beta with a black bolt in his hair groaned, "Ew man, is it rotten?"

"No, I remember now. It's supposed to smell like this." The prince complained, holding it away from him.

"Why? Why would anyone want to eat this stuff?" The raven-haired one asked aloud.

The redheaded alpha took one out of the box for himself, shrugging before cutting it open and taking a bite. "Oh - oh man. They're pretty damn good."

"You ate it?" The blonde noble screamed the question, not able to have an indoor voice so it seemed. "Well, now I gotta try it too."

They all three tried it, agreeing it was pretty good. Crimson eyes found the rabbit looking at the fruit curiously. "Do you want a bite?"

"Oh, I don't mean to intrude on your-"

"Just fucking take a bite." He ordered while handing it to him. All three nobles stopped moving. Never had they witnessed the prince be kind to anyone without knowing them. They all had to fight to get on his good side and yet this cute little rabbit managed to do it in seconds.

The greenette appreciated being offered a bite as his curiosity was killing him. Slowly, Izuku put the box on the table in front of him and took the other half from the prince who held it out to him. The rabbit couldn't smell it so he did not react like the others. They found his lack of even a wrinkled nose interesting.

Freckled cheeks blushed as they all watched him take a bite. His doe-shaped eyes widened, loving the very sweet taste with a satisfied hum. The prince scuffed. "Well?"

"Very good, my prince."

The fair skin on the alpha's cheeks now blushed, hearing this adorable little omega call him 'my prince' in a sweet voice. He didn't acknowledge the three idiots watching him closely, observing the interaction. When they both stared at each other, not knowing what else to say, the blonde noble jumped in front of the omega, making him jump.

"I'm Denki Kaminari, one of the prince's advisors here." He held a hand out to the rabbit, a happy smile across his face as crimson eyes stared daggers into the back of his head for interrupting their moment.

"H-h-hi." Izuku took the hand, shaking it gently.

The redhead now bumped Denki out of the way, knocking him over almost as if he now wanted the rabbit's attention. "I'm Eijiro Kirishima!"

"Hello."

Instead of a handshake, Kirishima reached out to pet his head. "Whoa, I had never met a rabbit hybrid before. The rumors are true about your hair being super soft."

"Don't be weird man." The raven-haired one slapped his hand away, stopping the petting session. Brown eyes looked at the greenette now, the most relaxed face he could even though he was excited to meet the rabbit too. He was more enthusiastic to know him since he seemed to grab the prince's attention. No one else was able to do that so far. "Hanta Sero."

"Nice to meet you all." Izuku bowed with a friendly smile. He stood, reading to introduce himself to them. They all looked at him but the door was pushed open again, this time several guards entering the room.

They pushed the rabbit against the wall, ignoring his whimpers as they grabbed him too hard. He looked around, searching for some help as all four dragons looked at him, wanting to do something but the king and queen entered the room. The three nobles bowed as the prince glanced between his parents and the rabbit who looked terrified while pressed to the wall by two guards.

"Boys! I was looking for you all over." The king clapped his hands together as he started talking to all four.

The queen noticed a few quick glances to the side of the room and there she noticed the small green-haired boy. She moved closer as her husband spoke. She waved her hand, shooing them to move away so she could see him better.

"Hello, who are you?"

Izuku bowed politely, looking down at the ground between his feet. "I am just a messenger, Your Highness."

She came closer, forcing a freckled face to look at her. Red eyes scanned over his face. She took his cheeks in both hands and rubbed a thumb along them. The rabbit remained perfectly still, not sure what was happening or if he should say something. She smiled wide and hugged his shoulders, the others in the room too busy to notice this.

The queen pulled away, holding his shoulders tightly. "Izuku?"

"Y-yes?"

"Oh, I knew it! It has been so long since I have seen you. You have grown into such a strong little rabbit! Oh, and you have your mother's eyes." The mention of his mother caused the greenette's body to tense, locking up in her hold. The queen's eyes suddenly held back tears. "I wanted to come see you after I heard what happened, but I was afraid to go back there and replace good memories with a tainted one. For that, I am so sorry."

"My mom, you knew her. You were-" He figured it out, recognizing her face now, knowing he had seen it before. He had been here before as he thought. "Auntie Mitsuki?"

"Yeah, that's right." the queen wiped her eyes quickly and sucked up her emotions. "So, how have you been? I heard you lost your sense of smell in the fire, is that true?"

"Yes ma'am. I lost that the night of the accident."

"You poor thing. I am just glad you're okay. And you seem to be doing so well for yourself! Oh, she'd be so proud of you. I'll remember you're a messenger so I can request you and see you more often. Please, say hi the next time you come by?" Hesitantly, Izuku nodded in agreement and she hugged him once more. This time others took notice. The king cleared his throat, getting her attention. The blonde woman turned to face her husband, still holding the greenette in her arms. His face was shoved into her neck now, not sure if he should be hugging back or trying to escape her death grip. "Masaru, do you remember him? It's been a few years since we've seen him, but he still has such an adorable baby face!"

She turned the boy back around, pushing him towards the king who inspected him and then smiled. He also pulled the small rabbit into a hug, not as crushing though. "Why hello again! Where has the time gone, you're so mature now!"

Everyone else in the room was now so confused. Both king and queen now spoke about old times and watching him run around. The prince was getting annoyed, feeling left out of the conversation. "What the fuck is happening?"

"Katsuki!" The queen smacked her son's arm. "Do you not remember your previous best friend?"

"I thought we were the only ones to put up with Bakugo?" Denki asked aloud, getting an elbow from Kirishima.

"Katsuki, don't tell me you forgot about him. You boys ran around here ruthlessly, wrecking everything and causing havoc all over. You broke so many of my things. Oh, and you had little nicknames for each other." She and the king laughed to themselves. "What did you call my son?"

She asked a clueless rabbit who was still wrapping his head around the royal family knowing him as a boy. The king hummed in thought. "It sort of sounded like his name."

"Right. Um, K-Ka, ka something?"

"Kacchan," Izuku muttered out. His face was shocked as it all rushed back now.

"Yes!" She cheered as crimson eyes widened.

The prince stepped closer, his face inches from the freckles. "Deku?"

"Y-yes." The rabbit nodded, his face heated from forgetting someone so important.

Both boys had no idea what to say or how to go from there.

Denki cleared his throat, lifting his finger to get their attention. "So can we start calling you Kacchan now?"

"No!"

A/N:

In case y'all are wondering how the hell they forgot about each other as kids, it's a real thing. I myself have gotten into heated conversations with my brother about whether something happened or not 😂😂

Chapter Text

The prince stood near the window, watching as the little rabbit walked out of the castle doors and greeted the guards who didn't return the gesture and instead gave each other confused glances. Likely because no one ever acknowledges them, and they were surprised. The blonde's gaze could still see the top of his green head walk through the crowds of people, stopping to wave or say hi to people. As a messenger, he was all over the place and was evidently very friendly to those he saw on a daily basis during his route.

His mother struck a memory in his head, like rebooting everything in his head. A flash of running through the castle in his mind, chasing after the little greenette. He remembers calling him Deku, the rabbit calling him Kacchan, and constantly fighting. Sometimes it was real fighting that they needed someone to break them up, other times it was rolling around to try to pin the other one down in some silly game most boys their age played. There were even a few verbal fights where they argued about being a dragon and rabbit, who would be stronger, who would be taller, you name it. Their mothers were best friends which meant they saw each other a lot.

One day, the rabbit stopped coming around. It was random and out of the blue as he was being told his one and only friend was never coming to see him again. There was no explanation, no reason given to the young and confused blonde. He wondered if maybe he had gone too far with the play fighting. Maybe he managed to hurt Deku's feelings for real this time or hurt him too badly in a fight where he didn't want to come back to play with him. When he asked his mother about his friend and the one he referred to as Auntie Inko, she would get choked up and leave the room to cry. The prince assumed it was because he had done something so wrong even she couldn't bring herself to tell him or talk about it. It hurt and eventually, he forgot about it, buried it deep down to forget it forever.

"So, you gonna watch him all day?" Kirishima nudged the blonde's shoulder with his.

The prince growled, not liking the subtle teasing. "Shut up."

"Oh come on man, we all saw how you basically undressed the guy right in front of us," Sero added, making him growl again.

"Enough. Leave it alone." Boots boomed across the floor as the heavy alpha went to sit back in his chair. "Not like we might see him again. He is just a messenger."

"Oh, I don't know Bakubro. Your mom seemed pretty excited to see him. She also said she'd request him from now on so," Kirishima smirked, showing off his sharp-toothed grin. "don't get your hopes up yet."

The prince rolled his eyes, not caring about their opinion, he just hoped to get to see him again.

Mint still lingered in the air from the rabbit and the blonde made sure to soak it up. For the first time, the alpha in him enjoyed the person's scent. It shocked him. His alpha was extremely picky.

Omegas and betas all over have thrown themselves at him since he could remember. He had taken on a few flings and allowed himself to be pleasured by someone else as much as his conscience and alpha whined at him to stop. Sometimes it gets lonely being a prince who isn't allowed to leave the discomfort of his castle very often. A few times, he has even allowed one of these whores to bounce on his cock. There were also a couple of ruts he's reached out to have someone come and soothe him. He was always careful. Never did the prince allow his run-ins to become pregnant or give him something he didn't want.

They were only short moments of weakness before he slipped into a self-pity party, hating what he allowed himself to do. He was a prince after all. The blonde had to be an example as was said to him his entire life. Over time, never being allowed to have a single thought for himself made him rebellious and lash out for no reason. Sometimes it also made you reach out to fuck someone else even when you didn't want them, didn't even like their scent. He knew he'd disappoint or upset his mate one day, he knew it as it was happening but he carried on doing what and who he was doing anyway.

Somewhere down deep, there was a very intense feeling of never having a mate, and accepting his alpha wouldn't allow him to want or like anyone else. Then, a random rabbit from his childhood shows up, and not only are his looks something like he had never seen before, but now the greenette's scent is insanely good to him.

There was a deep feeling in his gut about the rabbit. He wanted to see him again, almost needed to.

He went on with his prince duties, his mind never fully able to be pulled from the freckled face boy who had been in his presence for only a few moments today, but also nearly every day of his childhood. When his meeting was finally over, he found his dam in her usual spot after dinner, sitting next to the window in her personal lounge room.

"Mother."

"Katsuki, to what do I owe the pleasure?" She teased, knowing he only came in here for something important or life-threatening. Because of today's visitor, she had a pretty good idea of what this was about. Whatever it was, it had to be important for him to refer to as 'mother' instead of the usual 'hag.'

The blonde grunted, sitting in a chair across from her. She was crafting, whatever the string and the chopsticks thing was she liked to do. The prince never cared enough to learn the name.

"Deku."

She hummed in a light mood, a smirk spreading across her face. "Figured it was only a matter of time before you came in here to ask about him again." The queen let out a small chuckle. "What about him?"

Katsuki wanted to ask. He wanted so badly to ask this without his mother forever bringing it up or criticizing him about it. Another grunt echoed in the room, knowing he'd never live this down. "Why did he stop coming around?"

Matching red eyes found his, scanning his face as she found the words. It was a stupid reason, a selfish reason and she didn't want her son to know in case it changed how he viewed her. Honestly, there would be no reason to blame him if he did. Knowing this, she put her crocheting down and looked at her son with a weak smile.

"Inko, his mother, is the reason."A blonde brow raised. "What about her?"

"She was my best friend, much like you and Izuku were but much closer. Her parents worked in the castle and they once brought her around and we met. Since that day, she continued to come around and visit. We did everything together. We got older but stayed in each other's lives against all odds. She met her mate who sadly left on a business trip while Izuku was a baby. He never came back for whatever reason and to make sure she and her pup survived and made it through okay, I brought her around more often again." Mitsuki smiled and laughed as a memory popped into her head. "You and Izuku are two years apart so while he was a baby, you were already up and talking. He started to cry and you scrunched your little face up and covered your ears. From that moment on you called him Deku because he was a useless baby."

The prince couldn't even help his small smile. It sounds exactly like him. He knew he was a brat.

"Anyway, um." The queen stammered, again trying to figure out her next words. "She started to come around a lot and I even took her advice on a lot of things. I hired her as a silent advisor because she did help in some ways. Inko told me about what was going on in the kingdom among the people and that helped me make some decisions. Each time she brought Izuku around and each time you two would have the time of your lives together like Inko and I when we were kids."

"Okay, so what the hell happened?"

His mother pressed her lips together, holding back tears. "He stopped coming around because Inko died when you two were still little."

Katsuki held his breath, not expecting that answer. "Oh."

"Yes, unfortunately. She passed and I couldn't bear to see her, or even check on poor little Izuku but I thought about him, a lot. I hoped and prayed that he would be okay. Luckily today, that was proven to be true." The blonde took in what his mother said. All those times he blamed himself, every tear he shed about it, was for nothing. "I apologized to him today for being such a coward to never go see him."

There was a small pause as the queen waited for him to yell at her, ask her why she never told him this. Instead, the prince sighed.

"Okay."

"Okay?"

"Yeah, that's all I wanted to know." The prince stood, walking out of the room but stopping at the door. His heart hurt, and his head was spinning around to give him a terrible headache. He glanced over his shoulder, his instincts taking over to check on his dam. "Are you gonna be okay?"

She laughed, wiping her eyes. "Yes, Katsuki. I'll be fine."

He nodded and left the room.

For the rest of the night, his ceiling was the most interesting thing in the world. He needed to see the rabbit again, to smell him, to see if the feelings and senses he was having meant something. Deep down, the prince was confused. He was conflicted about whether these feelings meant something or not. He wanted to know if he was crazy to be this obsessed with someone so quickly, to want so badly to smell someone's scent again.

The minty earth tone, he needed it.

Chapter Text

Uraraka adjusts the two boxes in her hands for the hundredth time since agreeing to help the rabbit carrying this delivery to the castle. Izuku had two boxed crates on each shoulder, carrying it around with a smile on his face. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, these are just way heavier than you're making them look like they are!" She cried out, making the two of them laugh. He may be small, but he was secretly stronger than he let on to be. "You smell really good today by the way."

Izuku grinned as he adjusted the collar on his neck using his shoulder. Without a sense of smell, it was hard to feel or tell how much of his scent he was producing. It was the reason his collar was thicker and bulkier than most. He covered his scent glands completely, even tightening it to try to mask it better. It was nerve-wracking to walk around without knowing what you smelled like, what you were pushing off, what others smelled like. It was also a little heartbreaking to the rabbit because he knew, that without a sense of smell, it would be nearly impossible to find a mate.

As they approached the guards, Izuku handed two crates to one of them to hold. "I come barring gifts. I got a few apples in the market I wasn't expecting, if you two want them?"

They looked at each other, then nodded, the guard with his hands free taking them from him before the rabbit took the crates back. Izuku smiled, getting a friendly head nod from them each as they walked on. His feline friend shook her head, not at all surprised to see him doing this.

They entered the castle, being escorted of course to the lounge room like the day before last. The greenette smiled, seeing his friend react the same way of awe from the looks of it he had when he walked in. Although, it was a little silly thinking about it now. He had practically used the place like a playground in his youth. To be amazed by it now like it was new seemed like a ridiculous thing to admit to.

When they walked into the room, the same four as the day before were there. The three nobles looked over and shouted at him as they saw him. "Mido!"

The rabbit grinned at the nickname they had given him as they approached. Even the prince seemed to light up a little when he entered the room. They surrounded him, taking the crates from Uraraka first and placing them on the large table.

Sero took two from Izuku. "Whoa, these are pretty heavy, how long did you have to carry these?"

"Not that long." The greenette lied. He had to carry them over twenty miles from their pickup location and his arms were starting to feel sore.

Emerald eyes looked up at the prince, searching for him now since regaining some memories about when they were together. He was going to say hi when Uraraka stepped in front of the blonde. She batted her eyes and smiled wide. The blonde, distracted, must have liked her or been attracted to her. Izuku averted his eyes, not knowing why it hurt to see them so close. He was happy his unmated friend was getting some attention though. She had been looking for a mate for a long time and who better to pique her interest or try her shot at than the unmated, dragon prince himself?

"We're breaking into these!" Kirishima shouted, opening the crates to the pear inside. Four sets of eyes all looked in, curious about the contents while the other two spoke on the side of the room.

The assortment of popcorn, nuts, and other little treats had the three friends diving in, snacking on what they found and offering the rabbit some too which he took out of curiosity. Some things tasted a little bland to him, others more flavorful. He knew without being able to smell it would be different. It didn't stop him from trying things though.

He did peak up. The prince's back was to him as he stood with strong arms crossed. Uraraka's face was clear to see as she blushed madly, and grinned from ear to ear, as she spoke to the handsome blonde. They were getting along pretty well from what he could see. When the rabbit turned back to the three, he noticed all of them were looking at him with concern. "What?"

They shrugged as they went back to the snacks. "Nothing."

"Yeah, nothing."

"I don't even know what day it is so don't ask me."

The rabbit knew there was more going on but he didn't know these guys that well to pry. He went on, looking over everything, still sneaking glances at the prince from time to time. It was bothering him to not know why it bothered him to see the two like this. Izuku wanted to be happy for his friend, wanted to cheer her on but at the same time, he had a weird sense of protection over the alpha. There was no reason to be. He and the alpha were unmated, both not courting anyone, or so he thought. He didn't know anything about the alpha. Whether he was courting or mated, he had no idea and he wouldn't know without asking with the rabbit would never do.

The three nobles asked if he wanted more and he declined, suddenly not hungry as his stomach turned. He wanted to leave, he wanted to run away actually but waited patiently to the side for his friend. Soon she did let the alpha walk her to the table where she became intrigued with the crates as well. Feeling bored and not interested in anything else in the room, Izuku moved to the large window.

Outside you could see just how far the kingdom stretched. It went on for miles, seeming to forever stretch along the horizon. It was beautiful and the rabbit couldn't deny it made him love this place even more. The way the kingdom seemed to liven below them. The vendors on their daily routines of spreading their product or shouting it out. People move along to shop or get from one place to another. He smiled at it all, looking down and seeing the gardens below too. Everything seemed so small here, even when life was so big.

"Are you planning on standing there all day?"

Izuku jumped at the sudden deep voice next to him. The prince stared at him, his usual blank stare as his eyes scanned the body of the rabbit next to him. "Oh, sorry. I didn't see you walk up here."

The blonde nodded. "So, I have a question for you."

"Uraraka is unmated if that's what you're about to ask. She also isn't courting anyone so I'm sure she would love it if you asked her." The blonde raised a brow and even seemed to scowl. "Was that not your question?"

"No, it wasn't. In fact, she already told me all of that about herself." He looked over at her, he didn't seem interested, more disgusted. Izuku was even more confused now. The blonde cleared his throat. "I was wondering if you traveled with a weapon."

"A weapon? Like a sword?" The rabbit was confused.

"Or anything with a blade." He was blunt, getting right to the point. It was clear this rabbit was more innocent than he remembered. Which was odd, because he remembers having to hug and comfort the rabbit when they were kids when the prince had killed a spider.

"No, I don't."

The prince grunted, running a hand down his handsome face as he narrowed his eyes at the rabbit. Izuku watched the blonde rummage around in a drawer, looking for something before shutting it with a loud bang, making the greenette flinch. Boots again hit the floor with a loud thud with each step as he approached the slightly scared omega. The alpha then handed him a small dagger in its sheath with a small loop to attach to a belt. "Here."

As the smaller hand reached out to take it, crimson spotted a large scar across his knuckles. He stared at it, wondering how this sweet and innocent omega could have gotten something like that. Of course, this only encouraged him to make sure the rabbit had a weapon on him, just in case.

Izuku took it slowly, unsheathing the blade to admire the work. The handle has a deep cherry color, and gold accents as well. The blade was no bigger than his palm. The sheath was even impressive, a handcrafted leather to perfectly fit the weapon. Emerald eyes looked over it, holding it, then sheathing it and handing it back to the blonde. "I can't take this. This is handmade and very valuable. Plus, I don't even know how or when I would use something like this. I don't go to places in the kingdom where something like this is needed."

All eyes were on them now. The prince was upset that the rabbit didn't want the gift. The three nobles and Uraraka watched, careful not to say anything to draw attention away from the almost comical scene unfolding in front of them.

"You never know when you might need it. Take it." Katsuki pushed the weapon back into the rabbit's hands.

"This isn't really something you just give away. I don't think your mother would like you giving away such expensive things." Izuku pushed it back into dragon hands.

"My mother genuinely fucking likes you and wants you to be safe so she would want you to have this. Take the fucking thing already." Rabbit's hands.

"I can't take something worth so much." Dragon's hands.

"Why can't you just take the gift and make us all feel better that you have something to protect yourself with." Rabbit's hands.

"I cannot accept this when it's so expensive. I'll never be able to pay you back." Dragon's hands.

"I'm not asking you to pay me back. I am just trying to give you a fucking weapon in case you run into trouble." Rabbit's hands.

"Kacchan, no!" Izuku whined out with an eye roll, just like when they were kids. It stopped them both in their tracks.

Both blushed lightly as the childhood nickname just slipped out. Were they too old to keep using it? Was it too weird for him to have used it? So many questions wanted to be asked, and needed answers but, there was nothing for him to do but to stand there and feel awkward.

"Shitty Deku, just take it, please?"

Hearing the prince use his nickname as well made the situation lighter, even laughable as the blonde smirked and Izuku let out a small giggle. When emerald eyes looked up again, crimsons stared into his. It was a nice moment for them to stop feeling the air so thick around them. It was an icebreaker they desperately needed. Hopefully, this allowed them to say hi to each other and make these castle deliveries much more enjoyable too.

"Hey, Izuku? You want any more of this?" Denki shouted, ending their moment. Katsuki growled, wishing the blonde would have kept his mouth shut.

"No, thank you, Kami." He smiled, itching his neck as the collar was likely too tight but from what Uraraka said earlier and being in a room of alphas and betas (not including Uraraka, another beta), he wasn't going to risk it.

"You okay? That looks uncomfortable." Katsuki asked, his voice low so the others didn't hear him sound so concerned.

"Hmm, this?" Izuku pointed to his neck. The prince nodded. "Oh, it's okay. On the way here Uraraka said I was scenting out a little too much, so I tightened it. Doesn't hurt though."

Before the clueless prince could ask what he meant, the queen entered and shouted for Izuku to come see her. She hugged the rabbit who was still conflicted about hugging her back so his hands rested on her shoulder blades. They talked, taking up a lot of time as she just wanted to say hi and ask him about his deliveries and messengers so she knew how to summon him for her messengers and deliveries from now on.

"Izuku, we should be heading back now." Uraraka smiled, waving him over.

"You're right. See you guys later, and thank you again for the dagger, Kacchan." He waved happily on his way out.

They all waved with their mouths full. The prince wanted to talk more, ask more questions but he did have a job. As soon as the rabbit was out of view, the queen turned on her heel, smirking at the blonde across the room.

"I see Kacchans still got it." The prince growls in frustration. Three nobles snicker, causing Denki to choke on popcorn and have the other two smack his back to help him breathe again. As he was choking, the prince rolled his eyes and looked at his mother. "They're your advisors Katsuki, don't look at me like that."

A/N:
Mama knows, she always does.

Chapter Text

Katsuki groaned as he sat in his chair. He had been trying to read the same line in his paperwork for over an hour now and his mind couldn't stop thinking about an emerald-eyed rabbit. It had been a week since he had gifted him the dagger and the prince needed to know if he had an excuse to use it yet.

'Dumb fucking bunny.'

Knowing this wasn't going to end without seeing him, so he sent someone to fetch a delivery boy. Some tall guy with glasses showed up instead.

"Not you. I want someone else." The messenger was confused, understandably so. How do you tell someone you're looking for them specifically without telling them who to make it obvious? It wasn't like he was some weak prince who needed to see one specific omega who he truly didn't know that well anymore. He wanted to though. He wanted to get to know the more mature, current omega.

Another messenger showed up, a random guy the prince had never seen before. Before the guy could even talk or spit a word out, the prince motioned for him to leave.

"Send someone else."

Another messenger arrived. It was his friend from the other day. "Nice to see you again, Prince Katsuki."

She said his name like she was trying to seduce him and it only managed to piss the alpha off more. He rolled his crimson eyes. "I didn't want you either. Why do they keep sending me people I don't know or trust."

The feline frowned, seeing the prince wasn't interested in her. She took a moment to think about what he said. Based on that and what she saw yesterday, it all clicked in her head. Suddenly, she was no longer frowning, no longer upset as those crimson eyes were already set on her best friend. She smirked to herself, thinking about all the praises she'd get later for helping set them up. "You're right, your majesty. I'll send Izuku right away. Since you know and trust him."

He narrowed his eyes at her, but all she did was bow. The prince scuffed, unaware he was being played. "I guess he'll do."

As soon as he heard what he wanted, the prince checked his appearance in a mirror. He made sure each spike was in its place, his cape showed off his chest, and that his horns looked okay. He made sure to tell the guard to send a messenger to him right away when he arrived. His voice was stern but on the inside, he was getting nervous. The one omega he had been obsessing over, craving lately was finally on his way here to see him. Would the rabbit be happy or excited to see him again? Was this too much to be looking for him specifically?

These questions haunted him until there was a knock on the door and it opened to reveal a freckled greenette, a beaming smile plastered across his face. He waved with only his wrist. "Hi, Kacchan!"

"Deku, I need you to bring me something."

"Okay." Crimson watched as the rabbit patiently waited to hear what was next. He started to rock on the balls of his feet. "Do I get to know what you are wanting?"

"Right." The prince blushed, embarrassed he didn't have an answer. The greenette just kept smiling, waiting with a sweet smile. "Bread."

"What type of bread?"

"I haven't made my mind up yet. What is the best bread out there?"

The rabbit pursed his lips in thought and it only drove the alpha more insane. He watched the perfectly pink lips hum with the omega deep in thought. "Depends on what you're craving."

"Huh?"

"What you're craving. Are you making a sandwich, wanting something soft, or just something to munch on?"

Crimson eyes searched the face of the omega in front of him. It was weird to have a conversation like this. He didn't want to be talking about fucking bread. He wanted to ask about him. Was he courting anyone right now? Was he friends with any other alphas who might threaten his omega with mating him before the prince could? There was so much he wanted to ask and none of it he could muster up himself.

His mind kept reverting to how picky his alpha was. The minty scent was so comforting, so appealing, and the alpha just wanted to live in it. No one had ever smelled good before. No one made him act like this. The alpha was daydreaming about their interactions, thinking heavily about when they were kids, and overall thinking about the rabbit that was in front of him every second of every day. It was new, odd, and unfamiliar to the known stone-cold alpha. Now that he had someone who he thought might be worth courting, the guilt of sleeping with all those extras was back and eating him alive.

Luckily, their conversation was stopped by the queen entering the room. Once her eyes spotted the rabbit, she huffed with her hands on her hips, smiling at him. "Izuku! I told you, you aren't allowed to come into this castle without coming to see me!"

"I just arrived your majesty. I already promised to come tell you hello every time I walk these gates."

Freckled cheeks were a light pink as the queen smothered him in a hug, tightening around the small frame.

"Mother, you're crushing him." The prince breathed in, holding back a growl.

"Oh, hush." She scowled at her son before smiling back at the messenger. "It's perfect that you arrived! I received a gift of candles and they are ghastly, ugh. Can you please send them to the candle maker and see if he might be able to do something about it other than them stinking up whatever room they're in."

Izuku smiled, agreeing to it and following the queen who hooked her elbow with his. The prince scuffed, getting up to follow them. Of course, his mother would be the one to steal him away.

They arrived in the throne room and the smell hit their noses immediately. Both royals groaned and held their hands up. The rabbit, however, happily picked up the bag and swung it over his shoulder. "I'll take care of this."

"No, no fucking way. If you smell that longer than five minutes you'll throw up." The prince stood up for him, stopping him.

The queen smirked, "He's actually the best person for the job. Aren't you Izuku?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Kacchan, did you want me to bring you back some bread?"

"Bread?" The queen asked.

Katsuki shifted his weight.

"Don't worry about it." The rabbit nodded and waved a small bye. The royal blondes watched the rabbit stop to say a quick bye to the guards who also held their noses before he walked on. "Why would you give him those? They're awful and gonna make him sick!"

"No, they won't! You're overreacting." She waved off her son. "He can't even smell them."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

His mother widened her eyes, seeing if it was a real question. She then laughed out loud, seeing her son truly was clueless. She patted his back.

"Have you not noticed he doesn't react to things like we do? Doesn't seem to care when he's in a room with all you testosterone-filled boys in your lounge room? Honey, he lost his sense of smell." She started to walk away but the shocked Katsuki had one more question.

"How'd he lose it?"

The blonde racked it over and there was no clear answer on how he could have done that. He knew before he could smell things when they were kids.

His mother cleared her throat, not sure how to tell her son something so graphic or upsetting to them both.

"His mother died, in a fire." Katsuki was struck by the news. He knew this woman, not much from his memory but enough to feel his chest tighten. No one deserves to go like that, especially someone as kind and caring as Inko. "A few homes burned that night, no one knowing what caused the fire. Some got hurt, but Inko was the only casualty. Izuku was there that night. I heard he tried to go in and save her and the smoke, flames, and everything else caused him to lose his sense of smell."

The prince took this in. It all made sense though now. The fruit since day one, being able to stand so close to alphas and betas, even the blonde had to admit when he offered the dagger to him and he said no, he pushed out his scent to make him say yes. It all seemed to click way too slowly for him.

"Oh."

"Yeah. Another reason I couldn't bear to go see it or visit Izuku. I didn't want to see the damage." She sighed, feeling the strong guilt like before. "Plus I couldn't see Izuku hurt in a hospital bed."

"He got hurt?" Katsuki couldn't hide the concern and worry in his voice.

The queen sighed, making eye contact with the tall prince beside her. "He went back in."

"The house?"

"Izuku ran into the burning house and tried to pull his mom out. Something happened while he was in there and it had him hospitalized for a couple of weeks." Katsuki scanned his mother's face. It was clear she regretted, that she carried it around with her. "He's a tough rabbit."

The alpha looked outside, seeing the rabbit move through the kingdom. He kept waving as people avoided his bag, smelling the awful candles inside. He wore a beaming smile on his smile. No one had any idea about the tragedy he went through when he was so young.

'I can tell.'

Chapter Text

When Izuku reported to work, he was told there were two personal requests for him to be used. He assumed it was the prince and his mother again. For a couple of weeks now, the tall blonde had been requesting the rabbit to get all sorts of things. He was sent out for of course bread, spices, fabrics, and even candies which the rabbit remembers the blonde doesn't even like. The alpha always complained about it being too sweet while the omega loved them.

The rabbit didn't mind the random errands. He enjoyed getting to go to the castle as often as he had been. The queen was always happy to see him and usually fed him against his will or protest. She'd always wanted to hear about his latest delivery or run-ins with the people he sees. The rabbit used to hesitate to tell her what he would hear about the royal family and their decisions but now, he knows that's what she wants. So now it has become a routine with them. She'd pull him away from whatever he was doing or who he was talking to, even if it was her son, and they'd discuss what he'd heard around. The usual was food, crops, and crime. Sometimes there'd be something specific for them to address and she'd be grateful to hear it.

He also looked forward to seeing the prince. Every time those crimson eyes landed on him, he couldn't help but smile wider. The nobles the prince surrounded himself with were also never a sight for sore eyes as they'd welcome him in with only cheers. Izuku found himself looking for the dragon prince anytime he entered the castle. There had been a couple of times he came in without seeing the blonde and it made him sad. He'd come back and even those crimson eyes seemed upset when he asked why he hadn't said hi to him the last time he was here.

When he arrived at the gates, he shamefully shrugged to the guards. "Sorry, I don't have anything for you today. I woke up too late for the market."

"Aw, it's okay, Midoriya." One of them chuckled.

"Yeah, most people don't even think to bring us anything."

"Or talk to us at all."

The rabbit flashed a smile before moving inside where all three royals were standing and talking. They simultaneously narrowed their eyes at him, making his heart stop for a few seconds before they changed to smiles.

"Izuku, come in my boy. Sorry, we were waiting on a guest we don't particularly enjoy when they're present." The king mentioned, putting a hand on his slim shoulder. "What do you have for us?"

"Looks like a letter." The greenette handed it over as the queen offered a broken-off piece of the bread she had been eating as they watched the king open it. Knowing better to decline, he took it and started munching on it as well.

The prince raised a brow at this. He had never seen someone be so close to his mother like this other than his father. Even so, the fact she offered the food without saying anything for the rabbit to take it, again without saying anything, proved just how much she cared for him. Katsuki knew better than to say anything about this. After hearing about what had happened in their time apart, and how guilty his mother felt, he assumed she was trying to make up for lost time by taking care of him. Then again, she always cared for and loved Izuku like this when they were kids. There were a few times he'd be jealous and the hugs and tickling sessions she'd give to the rabbit instead of him.

"They aren't coming! There was a storm and it stopped their travels." The king announced and they all cheered about the news, the prince letting out a sigh of relief. The greenette just laughed at this. "Izuku, are you staying for lunch?"

"Uh," he looked down at his hands at the second package and noticed it wasn't for the royals as he thought. "Sorry. I have another delivery where they personally asked for me."

"Who's it for?" The prince moved his shoulder next to the shorter omega, making his feckless cheeks tinted pink. Their height difference became much more noticeable this way as the rabbit's shoulder barely reached the dragon's bicep.

"Outside the walls. Looks like a farm on the outskirts."

"Why would they ask for you?"

"I have no idea. You're the only few who ask for me personally. Guess I'll have to find out." He smiled, bouncing as he turned to head to the door. "Have a good day Your Majesty's!"

He bowed to them all and walked out. The blonde stared at the door, nearly burning a hole into it. He didn't feel right about this. There was something deep down that told him to stop the rabbit, to bring the omega back to his side instead of letting him go. But he had training to do and Izuku had a job.

"Are you okay, Katsuki?" The mother asked, brow raised.

He scuffed, moving to his usual chair to wait for this mentor to arrive. "S'nothing."

Izuku was shocked to realize the other package had not been for the royal family, instead, it was a random cottage on the other side of the wall, just barely close enough to hear the busy life of town. He wondered if maybe it was someone from the castle who had seen him before, like one of the nobles. The house was large and had smoke coming from the chimney as someone must have been cooking. The rabbit wandered along carrying a small box in his hands, no idea what was inside.

The door opened and two alphas were there, smiling at him, making him feel uneasy right away. The men looked him up and down, their smiles growing with each second. "I've been waiting on you all day."

"Sorry, I didn't get here sooner." They continued to watch him. "May I ask why you requested me for such a small box?"

"Oh, these are just cigars. We requested you because we needed a rabbit." The second man smirked back, his voice laced with danger.

Emerald eyes looked between them, understanding what was happening now. He turned away but these wolves were expecting him to run. They caught his arms before he could get a proper sprint and dragged him into the cottage. Izuku screamed and kicked for dear life, trying his best to fight for his life. "Let me go! Please! Get off of me! Help!"

It was known worldwide that rabbits were extremely fertile. This made them one of the most wanted hybrids for the skin trade. If you wanted a pup or just wanted to have a good time, it was said you'd want a rabbit. There was a rumor that rabbit hybrids also enjoyed sex and it was easy to put them into submission using only your scent. Enough scenting and physical touch could put rabbits into an early heat without much effort as well. This made them even more valuable among trades but being an omega only made it worse. An omega rabbit would mean all of this would not just be easier but also more enjoyable for whoever's lap they ended up in. Male omega rabbits were rare and even more valuable among the underground market. Unfortunately for the greenette, he didn't know if any of this was true as his mother had passed before being able to confirm or deny these rumors.

This was one of the very few occasions he was thankful to not be able to smell anything. The alphas were scenting the room and the entire house they were in. They were trying to put him into heat, trying to have their fun before having to turn him over.

They gagged him to stop the yelling and tied his hands together with a rope that was digging into his wrist, burning his skin. He winced as he took a look around. There had been a fight in here as furniture was broken, things were knocked over, and blood drops or smears were on the walls and floor. The rabbit searched the room.

His blood ran cold at the sight of two pairs of feet peeking out from one of the rooms. This was not their home, but instead a home they took over just to kidnap him. One of the men saw him staring at the bodies and chuckled a low laugh, as if happy he was witness to the murder.

"That'll be you if you don't fucking cooperate with us."

The alphas looked at each other and sat at the table. As if the terrified rabbit wasn't even in the room, they started to look at a map and plan the best way to get to the river where they'd get on a boat and sail to a place where this unmated omega rabbit would sell for the top dollar.

Izuku held in a whimper, not wanting to show weakness. He tried to wiggle his hands free as much as it hurt him. Unfallen tears filled his eyes as he felt his wrist already feeling raw. He glances at the dagger tied to his side. A little part of him was happy he had it, another part of him was sad to admit the prince was right. Not only was it an annoying feeling to admit he was right, but it also made the rabbit realize this world was not as beautiful and welcoming as he had thought it was. Then again, this wasn't his first run-in with people like this. He had run for his life before, fighting people off, and each time barely escaping.

His captors foolishly tied his hands in front of him, allowing him to reach to the side and pull the dagger out of its sheath. He carefully stood, using the wall to stand. With each step to the men with their backs to him, he was careful with the creaks in the floor as he approached the men. This was going to have to be quick since they were bigger than him.

In a swift movement, the rabbit stabbed the first man in the neck. He groaned and grabbed the rabbit, pulling Izuku over his shoulder and slamming the rabbit on the table. The second man tried to strike but Izuku put the bottoms of his feet to the stranger's chest, kicking him away and getting up to run out the door. He didn't look back, didn't see if they were following him, just ran.

Once back in the kingdom, he was near his home when he was tackled from behind. The second man he had kicked in the chest caught him. He tugged and pulled on the rabbit, ripping his clothes to pin him in place. Izuku groaned, still gagged, not able to scream for help. Luckily it was the middle of the day so people were witnesses to the attack but no one bothered to help.

"Enough!"

Guards approached, pulling them apart but not before the alpha punched him in the cheek. With ringing in his ears, another guard had to help him stand upright.

A couple of horses arrived. Based on the cape one of them wore, he was a captain. "Explain why you're fighting in the middle of the street."

The alpha remained quiet, thinking of something. Izuku had an answer right away as soon as the guard ungagged him while he caught his breath. "Kidnapped me. . .Was going to sell."

"He's lying! I am aware this is against the law so why would I do that? He killed my brother."

The guard immediately looked up to the captain. Thoughts on what to do were running over his head that the rabbit struggled to make out. "Bring them both."

As the captain demanded, both were dragged to a dungeon across town. They stopped outside, waiting for the capes guard to get off his horse. The taller man looked over both of them. The rabbit could sense right away this was not going to end well for him. He had killed someone, even if in self-defense, he was an omega. Omegas were nothing less than dirt to most, and from what he could tell by the look on the captain's face, he believed in that too.

"You were being kidnapped for trade?"

Izuku looked up, trying to make him understand. "Yes sir."

"But you also killed someone?" His tone changed, his voice deeper.

The rabbit's gaze shifted back down. It was no use to try to get this captain to see him any differently. "Yes sir."

The captain leaned in, his mouth inches from the greenette's ear. "Scum omegas like you shouldn't fight back. It would have been better to let them take you and use you rather than you dying like the rat you are. At least overseas, you'd be useful."

Izuku's heart stopped, thinking for a moment that maybe this man would have turned him back over to the alpha beside him. Fortunately, the captain snapped his fingers for his captor to be placed in a cell. The captain grunted in disgust as he pulled the gag back up and placed it in his mouth as tears threatened to fall again.

The omega was shoved into a cell that was cold and empty. His hands were still tied, now gagged again, and cold. Izuku sat on the ground, leaning his head against the wall. Tomorrow morning he'd meet his fate. The consequences for killing, more so for being an omega that fought back, would be death.

A/N:
Thought about making Izuku stab him multiple time, like Nifty.
Figured that's a little far though.....

*stab**stab**stab*

Chapter Text

One of the worst parts of being a prince was having to listen to some of the most boring people world talk about their problems. Katsuki sat in his throne chair next to his father, his mother was on the other side. He had his feet kicked up on the side and his face resting in his hand. Boredom was an understatement of what he felt right now.

Something hit his head as he was zoned out, causing him to sit up and see his attacker. His mother had thrown a berry at him to get his attention, her eyes wide as she looked at his feet and then back at his eyes. She used her face to tell her son he needed to put his feet down or she'd smack him later. As much as the strong and brutal prince wanted to just wave it off, he did obey his mother and her crazy eyes that only grew wider the longer he didn't fix his posture.

"Very well. Thank you for bringing that to our attention." His father nodded to their guest who gave a smile and bowed as she left.

As soon as the doors were shut, leaving them in the throne room as just the three of them, the prince groaned. "Why are these so boring!"

"Katsuki! You are a prince! Sometimes you have to listen to your people, hear their concerns and what they want from you. It's not all battles and parties." His mother shouted.

"I don't even like the parties." He sighed.

The king only chuckled at how alike his wife and son are. Both had a temper, both cared a lot without knowing. His wife figured out the basics a long time ago, but his son is still figuring out how to rule and use his strengths.

Another guest arrived, one none of them had ever seen before. The stranger was a bird hybrid from what they could sense and smell. She bowed right away and had tears in her eyes. "Your Highness. I am Mei. My daughter is an omega who was taken on our way home. Two men appeared from nowhere. I tried to fight but they were alphas and I am only a beta and they cornered me. I have no idea where she is or if she's still alive."

This wasn't the first the royal family had heard of this. Kidnapping omegas and events like this had been happening more frequently, not just in their kingdom, but in others. It was a rising concern all over the realm and other than outlawing and stopping it when they were made aware, there was very little they could do. They thought about putting omegan spies out there but didn't want to risk their safety.

The king sighed with sympathy in his voice. "Give her description to the guard and we will send out a newsletter to the people in case anyone has seen her. We will send a letter to nearby kingdoms as well to have them look. Unfortunately, this is all we can offer you at this time without knowing which direction she might have gone in. We are not taking this issue lightly however, your daughter and other omegas shouldn't have to live in fear."

The lady nodded, unsure of how to feel about the news. It was hope she needed, but not enough to keep from crying as she left.

With what his father said, the prince's mind wandered to a rabbit he had seen this morning. Now, the news of someone requesting him personally made his stomach tighten all over again. He didn't like not knowing if his omega was safe or in danger. Crimson eyes widened as he caught himself referring to Izuku as his omega.

A large hand wiped his face. The prince had to admit to himself, that he did find the rabbit attractive, he thought about those emerald eyes often as well. Although the blonde didn't know what was going on or how to explain it right now, he did want to spend more time with the rabbit.

As the doors shut, the king and queen looked at each other, sharing a thought of curiosity about what to do about this. They didn't want their people or anyone else to be treated like this, like property. Soon, another guest arrived to speak. It was back to being boring. As the prince was about to doze off, a servant came from the side, whispering something to the queen. Crimson watched as his mother listened, then sat upright with her eyes wide. She stood, interrupting the guest.

"I am sorry but I am needed somewhere else right now." The king eyed her and she slightly shook her head to tell him it didn't concern him, not yet. She walked down but looked back at her son. "Katsuki, come with me."

The prince was relieved to get out of there. He didn't fight her or hesitate, just got up and followed his mom. "Where are we going?"

"No time to explain but, we need to get across the kingdom as quickly as possible. I brought you because I might need you, but I hope I am wrong."

His mother sounded angry, truly angry. This wasn't some small thing based on how she was acting. The queen had a temper like himself. She was known to raise her voice when she didn't need to, insult someone without trying, and even bang her fist on the table without someone putting in much effort to make her do so. But for her to hold the reigns of her horse so tight her knuckles were white, to look at where they were going without so much as glancing back to see if her son was with her, this was something more than just a bad temper. Something had angered the queen beyond words.

They arrived at dungeons across town as the sun was setting. These small cells were known for small crimes and petty thieves. The prince had only been here on a handful of occasions. Why his mother had brought him here was becoming increasingly confusing but also enticing.

They got off their horses as the guards bowed to them. The lead captain stepped forward, smiling at the queen. "Your Majesty, to what do I owe the pleasure."

"You arrested someone that I believe did nothing wrong." She spoke with a scowl on her face.

The captain laughed nervously. "Who would that be?"

"A green-haired rabbit."

As soon as she said that, the prince stopped breathing, stopped moving, and every muscle in his body tensed. Izuku had been arrested for an unknown reason that the queen deemed unfit. Two pairs of crimson eyes searched the captain's face which had gone pale.

"He says he was attacked, ma'am. An attempted kidnapping apparently. He also admitted to-"

"You arrested him because he was attacked? In what world does that make any sense, captain?" She said his status with venom on her tongue, making him understand he was in the wrong.

"Well, no ma'am. He was arrested because he killed one of the attackers." The prince stood behind his mother, a matching glare on his face as hers. He crossed his arms and towered over his mother so his eyes could stare daggers at the man who looked between the two royals. The captain blankly stared at them. "Ma'am?"

"I'm waiting to hear the reason you arrested him." She spoke through gritted teeth.

The captain only swallowed the lump in his throat. The prince leaned forward now, getting his attention. "Well? Are you going to answer my mother, or do I have to get the answer out of you my fucking self?"

Knowing Izuku was in there, knowing he had been attacked and in an attempted kidnapping was making both royals more upset as it appears he had also been victim to their captain's opinion on omegas. They could tell the man in front of them had been caught in his wrongdoings.

"I'm sorry Your Highnesses, let me bring him out to you."

"No need, I'll go get him myself. What cell is he in?" The queen didn't wait for a response and just started walking as another guard led her to a cell almost at the end of the hall where it was coldest.

The guard opened it for us to reveal Izuku leaning against a corner, his knees pulled into his chest with tears in his eyes. He was gagged, hands tied in front of him, and his clothes torn in several places from a brutal fight. The entire cell smelled like rotten mint from his distress and sadness. It caused both blonde's hearts to nearly break.

The queen rushed to his side right away. She removed the gag which left a red indention near his mouth and across his freckled cheeks. Carefully, she used a small knife she carried with her to cut the rope away, revealing red and bleeding marks across his wrist. His shivering was almost loud enough to hear.

Those beautiful emerald eyes looked at the two royals with a widened and shocked expression. "W-what are you t-two doing here?"

Hearing how broken his voice sounded was painful to the prince. The queen hugged his shoulders and ran her fingers through his curls to remove dirt. "I heard you were here and came down to come find you. Izuku, honey, I am so sorry to hear what had happened, or almost happened."

Izuku sniffled, leaning into the hug. "I killed one of them."

The queen held his face in both hands. She wiped away tears and smiled at him. "Good. What he did was and will always be unforgettable. Don't you ever feel bad for defending yourself? I'm happy to hear you're okay."

He nodded and allowed the queen to help him stand, her arm wrapping around his shoulders. They walked out to the horses where the captain was pacing with a frown. "Your Highness. I'm sorry. He admitted to killing someone and so I-"

Katsuki punched the captain in his face, shutting him up. He picked the man back up by the collar of his armor.

"You arrested him for self-defense. If he hadn't been an omega, you wouldn't have arrested him at all. Maybe fix how you see him before you make another mistake like this because I promise you, it'll be your last." The blonde dragged the captain to Izuku, pushing him to his knees. "You owe this omega an apology."

The captain looked at the queen holding the boy up, then back at the prince. Katsuki grabbed his head and forced him to look at Izuku in his disheveled state. The rabbit looked down, barely meeting his eyes. Swallowing his pride, the captain realized his mistake. "I'm sorry."

The rabbit nodded to him letting him know it was fine. Katsuki released the captain who stood and brushed himself off before returning to his post. Crimson eyes looked back at Izuku who held his side with a wince. The poor greenette's knees were also shaking. With a grunt from seeing him struggle, the blonde scooped Izuku up, holding him bridal style to his chest.

"K-kacchan?" The rabbit yelped.

"I see you hurting, Deku. Let us help."

Tired and sunken eyes looked between the mother and son who both had a look of concern for him. He gave in, nodding to them as he put an arm around the prince's shoulders to sit more comfortably. His side did hurt a lot. During the fight, he had to have been hit in the side but so much was happening, that he didn't remember.

The prince helped the rabbit onto his horse before getting on too, sitting behind him to hold the injured boy to him. His strong arm wrapped around the small torso of the injured greenette, pulling him into his bare chest. It took a while, but Izuku eventually gave in and leaned into the alpha behind him. Soon he fell asleep against the blonde who was holding him up. Katsuki adjusted his arms, caging him in so he didn't fall off the saddle. The rabbit was in rough shape and something deep in the alpha's heart ached to see him in this condition. He didn't like the news of omegas being taken, he didn't like so many missing people, and now he had a reason to care more.

The rabbit in his arms gave him motivation to become a better prince. He wanted to do more and protect others from meeting this fate or something worse. The lady from earlier flashed in his head too.

When they got to the castle, the guards out front who usually the rabbit would say hi to, rushed to his aid, helping the sleeping boy off the horse. They looked down, worried for him as they knew he was sweet, kind, and didn't deserve this. When the prince got down, he retook Izuku in his arms. The blonde cradled him carefully. "Get the doctor, I want him seen immediately."

"Right away, sire." One of them rushed off to find the doctor.

The queen put a hand on the prince's shoulders. She leaned down and kissed the freckled boy's forehead. Her eyes met her son's, "Take care of him Katsuki."

He nodded to her, letting her go to bed as he went to the guest room, putting him down gently. He brushed a loose curl from his face, seeing how peaceful the rabbit looked in his sleep. He stayed while the doctor removed his outer clothing, cleaning some cuts here and there but overall Izuku groaned in his sleep with a bruised side. His ribs although not broken, were still hurting.

'I'm sorry little bunny.'

Chapter Text

Gradually, emerald eyes opened to the feeling of a hand on him. The omega was shocked to see his childhood friend sitting at the edge of a bed that wasn't his, a soft expression across his face.

"Deku, are you awake?" The greenette groaned, sitting up to find himself nearly stripped. Widened eyes looking at the prince. Hands covered his bare chest. "Whoa, hey, that wasn't me. You fell asleep on the way here and the doctor checked you out. You have a few cuts that he gave me an ointment for but, you really need to get cleaned up."

The rabbit nodded, agreeing a bath sounded like a good idea. Slowly he got out of bed, luckily he had underwear on still. Izuku jumped closer to the alpha when the door to the room burst open. Right away the blonde stepped in front of the greenette to cover his body.

"Izuku!" The queen held her arms out to him, rushing to hug him. "I'm glad you're up! I brought you soaps, towels and a change of clothes. When you're done, join us for lunch."

Lunch? How long had he been asleep?

"Take it easy." The blonde pushed her off.She rolled her eyes at her son being overprotective. It was a sight she'd thought she'd never see, but seeing as it was Izuku, she only smiled to herself. Soon, her gaze shifted downward to the greenette's right arm. Scars from his shoulder to his knuckles were more than noticeable, bright pink. His upper arm held the biggest scar of all. She reached a hand out, taking his forearm and getting a better look. The prince also took in the scars. He had seen them before but didn't want to disturb the omega who was asleep.

Izuku saw the hurt and guilt in the queen's eyes. "Is this. . .from that night?"

The greenette nodded as he sighed. He hated his scars. Something about them served as a constant reminder he failed, he couldn't save his mother.

He shut his eyes, not wanting to see them ever again. "I went inside to try and find her. She had passed out from the smoke in her bedroom. I managed to drag her to the living room before a beam fell on me. Someone else heard me yelling and stepped in, dragging me out but he didn't see her. They think the beam that landed on her and the smoke combined is the cause of her death. As far as my sense of smell, when the beam fell, it sent all this debris, ash, sparks into my face and up my nose."

Warm hands moved from his arm to his hand, holding them both as the queen looked at him through teary eyes. "I can never apologize enough for not being there for you when I learned she had passed. I am so sorry you had to go through that alone while dealing with these injuries."

Izuku felt tears in his eyes as well. They shared a small hug before both royals moved out of the room. The bath was already heated and ready for him in the bathroom, done by none other than the prince.

Prince Katsuki.

The rabbit sunk into the tub as he blushed madly. The way he had been held the night before came back to mind. Never had be been handled with such care. He remembered his childhood best friend as someone rough around the edges, temperamental, and at most times, selfish. In the few weeks he had been around the older and more mature prince, that was no longer the case. How he held him, comforted him, and even allowed him to fall asleep in his arms on the way here. It was a new side to the handsome blonde the rabbit enjoyed seeing. He had even gifted him a weapon to keep him-

"Oh my god the dagger! Oh no, I lost the dagger!" Izuku let the water consume him as he sank further down. The one gift the blonde had given him was sunk into someone's neck and forgotten on his way out of the house. How was he supposed to tell him that the one thing he gave him he had lost? This was the end of seeing his handsome face, getting to know him more, seeing the queen, and being welcomed here forever.

The bath was becoming colder so he quickly used the soap the queen had given him. They were labeled 'lavender' which he remembered smelled nice. His mom herself smelled like flowers but he could never remember which one was closest to her scent. He held the soap and then turned his hand over to see the scars, hating how it looked. He knows he was only six when it happened and he shouldn't blame himself as the fire didn't even start in their home, but he did. That never stopped him from missing his mom either. Every single day, he missed her. He sees little glimpses over her in everything though. The rays that warm his face feel like her hands holding his cheeks, the taste of chicken noodle soup reminds him of a song she'd sing every time he'd make it, and how the queen hugs him feels like how his mom does.

"I miss you."

**********

This fabric was the softest he had ever worn. The pants were an incredible leather, the shirt a green shade he had never seen before, and even the underwear was a soft cotton material. He shuffled down the hall, not entirely sure where he was. Luckily, two familiar faces found him.

"Mido!"

"Midobro!" Denki and Kirishima met him at the end of the hall. The alpha put a hand on his shoulder. "How you feeling man? Bakugo told us you were attacked. No details thought but, we're sorry about whatever it might have been."

"Thanks, I appreciate it, Kiri. I'm okay now, you should see the other guy." Izuku teased, putting on a brave face as he puffed his chest out.

"That's the spirit! You are one tough rabbit." Denki cheered him on.The two of them walked with him down the hall more, telling the omega stories of their fights and mini-battles. Most of these stories involved pissing off the blonde prince and having to fend for their lives or getting into a spar with him that became more aggressive the longer it went on.

"How was I supposed to know that?" Denki asked aloud.

"Because he told you! Plus, you never touch another man's food, yet you still took it off his plate the second he got up to get more beer." Kirishima smacked the back of the blonde's head in memory of the time he took the prince's last turkey leg.It was a funny sight to watch like siblings bickering. Izuku couldn't help the laugh that escaped him as they entered the dining room. His eyes were shut as he walked in, holding his side as it slightly hurt to laugh. Without seeing where he was going, he ran into a strong back. Crimson eyes stared him down as he crossed his arms.

"I see you're feeling better." He grunted out, making the rabbit blush slightly.

"I do and I have you to thank for that. So, thank you, Kacchan."The prince turned away, hiding the light blush on his cheeks from hearing the rabbit mumble his name in a sweet voice. "Whatever."

"And, I have something I need to tell you." The rabbit gulped, seeing everyone find their seats as the two of them still stood in the doorway. His mouth went dry at the thought of how the blonde might react to hearing Izuku had lost the dagger.

With each growing moment that the rabbit didn't say anything, the prince assumed the worst. Was he upset the prince carried him, held him, and woke him up earlier? Did he still think Katsuki was the one to strip him from this morning?

"Spit it out, Deku."

"I uh, I lost, uh," Izuku took a deep breath. His eyes were shut as he dropped his head. "I lost the dagger you gave me. When I attacked the guys who tried to kidnap me, I stabbed it into one of their necks and ran. I completely forgot about it until just now. I'm really sorry, Kacchan."

The prince looked down at the rabbit who stood there like a kid in trouble. It was clear he thought he had done something bad, even awful. Knowing he was losing his mind, the prince decided to have some fun.

"You lost it?"

"I did, I'm sorry."

"You lost the dagger I gave you, only a few weeks ago?"

"Yes, I'm sorry."

"The one thing I've given you and you lost it?"

"Yes, Kacchan. I am so sorry." Emerald eyes looked up at the smirk on the prince's face and realized he was messing around. "You're not mad at all, are you?"

"I am not. Not even a little." Finally, the prince let out a chuckle he had been holding. Izuku only rolled his eyes and gave his arm a couple of whacks in true Mitsuki fashion. This only made the prince laugh harder as they did nothing. The rabbit huffed, crossing his arms as Katsuki put on a serious face. "I'm glad you had it with you and don't worry about losing it. We have plenty of weapons, hundreds of daggers, and so many other things to use. Don't overthink it."

"You sure you're not mad?"

"I can yell at you for it if you want me to. If that makes you think we're even?"

"I'm good."

They both shared a small laugh before sitting at the table with the others during the meal, their eyes kept catching the other, as if wanting to check on the other. Maybe it was just to confirm the other was really there. Maybe, it was something a little deeper than that.

Chapter Text

Katsuki hid under the chair, watching carefully as Izuku tiptoed around the library. It was the most intense game of hide and seek ever played. When it comes to these two, they never play anything like it should be. Usually, you hide, and someone seeks you. By their rules, find where they are hiding before they can attack you. If there was one thing you can count on these boys doing, it was they will always write their own set of rules.

Crimson eyes seemed to be stalking their prey as the smaller boy came closer, unsuspecting of the blonde even being in there since he hated the library. The prince got down, crouching as he prepared his legs to jump. Suddenly, emerald eyes and a freckled nose fell in front of him as the rabbit looked under the furniture. It scared the little prince, not expecting him to drop to the ground like that so suddenly.

"Found you Kacchan!"

"Ahh!" He jumped and hit his head under the chair.

"Are you alright?" Izuku held his hand out to help the blonde up.

He hit it away. "I'm still gonna get you!"

"Ahh!" Time for the rabbit to be scared as he ran away from the somewhat angry dragon.

Soon, fear and anger were replaced with fun as little laughs filled the halls. They ran through servants' legs, some of them being able to dodge them, others falling over with a grunt from the two rowdy boys. Izuku ran for his life, being slightly faster than his friend but he knew the prince had more endurance than him and would eventually catch him.

He ran outside, trying to find his dam to use her as a shield, knowing the blonde would surely fight him when he caught him. And like he knew it would happen, the prince managed to tackle him to the ground in a bed of wild honeysuckles. They rolled around in them, trying to pin the other one down. Being the weaker hybrid, the rabbit had to submit to the dragon. He was older, bigger, and stronger than his friend so, it was only a matter of time.

Katsuki pushed the smaller shoulders down as he sat on his stomach. "Ha! Got you Deku! Told you you'd always be a useless bunny. I'll always be stronger."

The blonde stretched his arms above his head, flexing whatever muscles a seven-year-old had. Izuku took his chance and pushed him over, pinning his shoulders this time. "Nuh-uh! I'll get big and strong one day too. Just you wait and see Kacchan, I'll be able to handle myself one of these days!"

"Whatever!" The blonde flipped them again. "I'm gonna be an alpha when I'm old enough, and you're gonna be some puny omega. I'll always have to save you and protect you because you're so small. Face it Deku, you will always need me."

Izuku growled as he began to fight for real and try to push the blonde off. It turned to hitting and kicking pretty quickly. They were getting so carried away with it, that their mothers came rushing over to break it up. Inko brushed Izuku off, frowning at him with her brows knit. The little rabbit pup hugged her leg, knowing he was in trouble as he glared at his friend. Katsuki only got a swift whack back of the head as his mother snarled. "What did I say about being nicer to your friend?"

"But he-" the blonde pup pointed to said friend.

"Katsuki." His mother warned. The prince growled with his little fangs.

"Fine!" Crimson eyes looked forward to his friend who was pouting. Guilt found him as he also started to cry, rubbing a scratch on his arm. "Sorry, Deku."

"S'okay, Kacchan."

"Awe, I love their little nicknames for each other." Inko scrunched her nose up. She patted her son's head, ruffling his green locks.

"I know." The queen agreed. "Every time they act like this I just keep hearing wedding bells."

"Right? I can't wait for the day these two start courting each other." The mothers laughed, seeing their boys blushing.

Katsuki looked at his friend in disgust, sticking his tongue out even. "Ew, I'd never court someone like Deku."

"Well, you're too mean for anyone to want to court you, Kacchan." Izuku spits out, sticking his tongue right back at the prince.

They launched themselves at each other, getting ready to fight again when they were lifted off the ground. Their mothers hugged them, laughing at their little squabble. They tickled the boys, lightening the mood, hearing them both giggle and seeing their smiles before putting them both back down.

"Katsuki, run and grab a blanket and we'll have a picnic."

"Okay!" Picnics usually meant they got to bring desserts too, strawberry cakes most of the time as it was the prince's favorite.

On the run back inside, Izuku went with him but fell from a tree root. He started to sniffle as he looked at his knee. It was scrapped and slightly bleeding. He had some tears in his eyes as he stood back up. "Ow."

Katsuki came back over to him, looking at it. As far as he was concerned there was only one way to make something stop hurting. He got on his knees, kissing the scrape. "Better?"

"Y-yeah." Izuku nodded, wiping his face.

"Good. Now come on!" He held a hand out, walking ahead of the rabbit, leading him inside to grab the blanket his mother requested. He kept looking back though, making sure the rabbit was doing better. The blonde even allowed him to pick which blanket they used, a sad attempt to make him feel better. By the bright smile on his freckled face, he knew it was working.

Katsuki dodged a hit from Aizawa and swung the sword around to disarm him. His mentor chuckled, seeing him improving. "Good work. You seem more motivated today than usual. Any particular reason?"

The alpha looked up at the raven-haired man, curious why he said it as if he was poking at something. Instead, he just nodded. "Some lady came by and mentioned her daughter going missing. Another omega taken and I have no idea how to prevent it from happening again."

The older beta nodded. "Is that the only reason?"

"What the hell are you getting at?" He hated when people beat around the bush. "Just say it."

Nothing was said, but he did lean over and look at something behind the prince. Crimson eyes turned around, seeing his mother walking arm and arm with Izuku. They were talking and smiling about something but they were too far for them to make out what the conversation was. Either way, something inside the prince ached. Something told him to check on him, to speak to him. A few steps were taken on their own before he stopped himself and turned to grab a drink of water instead.

The beta behind him chuckled. "I see, so there is more reason for it."

Katsuki narrowed his eyes at him, not liking what he was teasing at. At the same time, he couldn't deny it either.

Since having that dream about their childhood last night, he couldn't stop thinking about it. He growled to himself as he walked inside to clean up before dinner. He stopped at the door, looking back at the gardens where his mother and Izuku walked. What the hell was going on in his chest?His mind kept turning until they sat at the dining table still accompanied by Izuku who was recovering in their guest room by order of his mother. She even sent a letter to his work he'd be staying here all week so he wouldn't get in trouble. It's hard to complain about something when the queen is the one giving the order, more so when she goes mother mode on the situation too.

The alpha looked to his right, the omega eating and looking up at his parents spoke to him about some other kingdom he had never been to before. He watched as Izuku took another bite of something heavily spiced. He scrunched his face at it, looking down and wondering what it was. He would have known it was spiced before taking a bite if he had a sense of smell. For some reason, that bothered the prince, a lot. The blonde wanted to help, to look into fixing it for him. There were times like this when it was noticeably hard on the rabbit to not be able to use his nose.

He walked the rabbit back to his room, again checking on him. "Are you feeling better?"

"Yes. I feel fine but, your mom thinks I should still take more time to rest before 'hopping around the kingdom' as she said." He made quotations around the words my mother used as an awful pun. We both chuckled at it. "I know, I thought it was bad too."

"She's right. You didn't look the best that night when we found you. There's nothing wrong with resting either."

Izuku giggled. The noise made the prince smile. Never had he heard something so sweet to his ears. He wanted to keep the noise forever, lock it away in his mind to replay later on, over and over. "Since when are you one to agree resting is a good thing?"

"Hey, I think I have matured more than you're giving me credit for. We haven't seen each other in over sixteen years, I would like to think I changed a little since then." A handsome face smirked, making the little rabbit blush.

"You have, I'm sorry."

They reached his room and the prince was actually sad to say goodnight. Both looked at each other, trying to find a reason, an excuse to stay here just a moment longer. Unfortunately, neither of them could make anything up. It was okay, this wouldn't be the end of it for them. Their story didn't end there just because they had to say goodnight.

"Goodnight, Deku."

"Goodnight, Kacchan."

They nodded to each other and turned away. Katsuki made it to his room before he turned back on his heel. Loud echoes of boots on the floor filled the halls as the prince made his way to the library. He pulled book after book, reading whatever he could on the human body, researching the chances of getting back someone's sense of smell. He read smelling strong scents usually does the trick. Therefore, he had homework and some shopping to do.

He wanted to take care of Izuku, he wanted to be his mate. His first step at getting the little rabbit to take notice of him, to look at him as his alpha, was getting his sense of smell back. It wasn't your typical courting gesture, but it was a start for them. After all, they had a bad habit of writing their own set of rules.

Chapter Text

"What did he use to be like?" Uraraka asked. All through lunch she had been bringing up the prince. Izuku only rolled his eyes, having no clue what she was getting at or trying to do. The clueless rabbit assumed she was interested in the blonde, as most people were, and had some questions about him.

He thought about it. "Like as a kid? Way more mean than he is now. We used to fight and bicker over the smallest little thing and he'd get so mad if things didn't go his way. So it's a little weird to see him so calm now."

The brunette only nodded, smiling at the face the omega had on. He looked as if he was recalling a happy memory or just in a better mood. Any time the prince is the subject of talking, he wears this goofy grin and his eyes drift away as he's deep in thought. It was clear to everyone except the two in question that they thought fondly of the other one. When Uraraka arrived instead of Izuku that day, the prince was upset it was her and as soon as she mentioned his name, his eyes brightened. Now, Izuku was doing the same thing.

She only smiled while shaking her head. "Have you seen him a lot lately? I know you stayed a while here to recover but, you've been home for a few days now."

"I have been there once since then. The queen ordered some flowers for their guest they were arriving soon. Real pretty white ones too."

"Ah, the queen. Another royal you're besties with."

Izuku giggled, handing his empty bowl back to the vendor and thanking them as they moved on. He stopped at a jerky stand which was his favorite in all the kingdom, stalking up as he usually did on this route. "She was best friends with my mother. I grew up with her and Kacchan both being so close to me so, I guess we are a little closer than most."

He thanked the man and took his bag while the street behind them seemed to erupt into shouting. There was some crowding around a few horses walking towards the castle. Soon, it was clear who they were shouting for. King Enji and his son Prince Shoto must've been the guest they were expecting. Lots of unmated people came forward, throwing them gifts and trying to get the prince's attention. It happened when any suitors or other royal visitors came to the kingdom. As they were on the main road, it wasn't hard to miss a few desperate enough to offer themselves to the prince in the middle of the street.

The duo werewolf hybrids and very well known as another very valued prince in this area, not including Katsuki himself. Gifts were given to them, boxes, flowers, jewelry, and so much more. They kept moving forward, their faces never looking to the people as the servants and help they brought with them take the gifts for them.

Uraraka leaned into her friend. "I've never seen so many 'please fuck me' gifts in my life."

Izuku closed his eyes as he put his hands on his stomach laughing at her joke with her. It was true as they wanted him to take the gifts in hopes they take them too. He was enjoying their moment before Uraraka gasped beside him. He opened his eyes to see her looking up at something, shock on her face. Izuku followed her gaze, seeing the prince had stopped directly in front of them and looked directly at him. He still wore an emotionless expression but, he was looking at him, which was more than he had given the others. Izuku hadn't even offered a gift.

"Hello."

"H-hello, Prince Shoto." He bowed to him, looking back up to a somewhat smiling handsome face. Shoto was rumored to be good-looking, and it was true. The scar on his face and bi-colored eyes only made him look more handsome.

"What is your name?"

"Izuku Midoriya." He said it but mumbled it so he didn't think the prince would hear him.

Shoto smiled wider, not a full one, but more than it was before. Mismatched eyes looked down, pulling a red rose from the bouquet in his satchel and handing it to Izuku. "A beautiful name, for a beautiful face."

"T-thank you, Prince." Trembling hands took the flower, blushing as he reached forward.

King Enji whistled, getting their attention as he motioned to keep moving. They went on, the prince looking at him until it became uncomfortable. Izuku glanced down at the rose he twirled in his fingers, a small smile on his face from being called 'beautiful' by someone so good-looking themselves.

"Wow." Uraraka shook her head as she moved to walk back to their station.

"What?" Izuku jogged to meet her again.

"You! You have so many royals drooling around you, it must feel like drowning at this point!" She stated, moving inside and checking in with their boss.

"I am not."

"Whatever."

Their boss turned to see them. He pointed at the rabbit and then at a crate nearby. "Broccoli, take that to the queen."

"Oh look, another trip to see the royal family that loves you and a prince who just gave you a rose. Yeah, you're not the luckiest commoner in the world, at all."

"I-well-that's because - just. . .Shush!"

Izuku placed the stem of the rose into his satchel so the pedals were still able to be seen. As he walked to the castle, he kept looking down at it, remembering the compliment. He even got the prince to smile at him. It was a good feeling and he wondered what his scent would smell like. Would it be nice or repulsing? His face flushed, thinking that the prince's scent was crazy. As if he would even second-glance him if he figured out the rabbit couldn't smell anything. It turned a lot of people away. He had a couple of betas and alphas take interest in him but without being able to smell them or they scent him into submission as easily as anyone else, they walked away.

The rabbit understood, but it still hurt. Over time, he accepted the fact he'd never get a mate without the sense of smell. No one would want him, or give him the time of day without it. He was the worst omega out there. He'd only be wanted by those wanting to use his fertility, his hybrid, not ever for love.

He approached the guards, smiling at them as he handed them both a piece of jerky from earlier. "I have something today!"

They took the treat, taking a bite and humming at the taste. They both spoke in unison. "Thank you, Izuku!"

He waved and headed inside, crate in his arms.

The blonde prince was the first one he saw. "Deku!"

"Kacchan, hi." He smiled at the alpha, happy to see that the blonde looked excited to see him.

"Hey, come with me!" The dragon pulled him along to the kitchen. There was a pitcher of something in the center, yellow which was odd. "Have you ever had lemonade?"

"I don't think so."

"It's a sweet and sour drink, it's really good. Here." The prince offered him a glass. What the rabbit didn't know, was the prince had spent most of his morning looking for something around the castle for him to smell in an attempt for his sense to come back. Smelling something sour was in his research.

He watched the rabbit take a drink, humming at the taste but didn't mention the smell. It didn't work.

"Wow, that's really good Kacchan. It's called lemonade?"

Worked or not, the smile on Izuku's face was worth it. "Yeah. Glad you like it."

They shared another moment of looking at each other, trying to figure out what to say in this moment. Izuku felt his ears heat at this. He secretly enjoyed it when they did this. He got to look up at those crimson eyes and get lost. Katsuki was handsome, and having his attention felt like he needed to cherish it while it lasted. But it didn't last long.

"Izuku!" The queen made the rabbit jump, startled. She looked into the crate and smiled. "So glad you made it in time. These treats are for our guests and I always have them but forgot to order them in time. Thank you so much!"

"Your majesty, can I ask what it is?"

She nodded and pulled out a small bar of something he had never seen before. "It's a truffle chocolate shell with chocolate on the inside too."

She offered it to him. When he tried it, his eyes widened as he moaned. It tasted amazing to him, and his moan sounded even better to the alpha next to him. Katsuki held in coon, wanting to hear it again. "That is so good!"

"I know." She noticed the drink in his hands. "Is that lemonade?"

"Yes, it is," Katsuki answered. He hesitantly poured a glass for his mother and handed it to her. Right away she cringed. "Whoa, Kasuki. You made this with way too much lemon. I can barely stand the smell. It's a good thing Izuku doesn't mind."

"Sorry, I'll do better next time." The prince admitted.

"I like it Kacchan." He smiled at the alpha before taking another sip, humming at the flavor again.

The queen smiled, seeing her son blush and knowing why. She pressed her lips together, holding in a smile. "I have to run dear, see you soon. Come back tomorrow morning, I have some things to send out. Katsuki, walk him out please when he is finished with his drink."

She hurried out as Izuku finished his drink. He turned back to the blonde with a happy smile. "This was amazing, but I have to get going. We have a lot of things to deliver today."

As his mother told him to do, the prince walked with him. "When will you come back tomorrow?"

"I plan to be here first thing in the morning for your mother. Plus if I get out early enough, I can grab a fresh cinnamon roll from the bakery. They go so fast." Freckled cheeks revealed a small dimple with his smile. He loved sweets, nothing had changed since they were kids.

"Midoriya!"

Both of them turned as Shoto walked over to them. Right away the rabbit blushed, thinking of this handsome prince complimenting him again.

Seeing his reaction to his guest, Katsuki held in a growl. He should be the only one making this omega blush. "You two know each other?"

"Not really. I just met him on the street and offered a rose." Crimson looked down to notice the flower, tucked into the bag. A scared hand mindlessly reached down to run his thumb along the silk-like pedals. "What are you doing here?"

"He is our private messenger," Katsuki stated, answering for him so the conversation between them could stop. This is the most enthusiastic he had ever seen Shoto and it was pissing him off it happened to be about the rabbit. Of all people in this kingdom, in his damn kingdom, he took an interest in the green-haired rabbit that the alpha already planned on making his claim to. Izuku was clueless about this, he just thought Katsuki was speaking to one of his friends as usual.

"Ah, then I hope to see you again in the days I am here." He bowed to the rabbit, making him smile. The prince was so nice, so thoughtful to the rabbit. No one else other than the blonde next to them had treated him so kindly.

"Me too." The rabbit already saw Shoto being a good friend of his. Seeing him be so relaxed around Katsuki, he assumed they were good friends too.

Crimson eyes looked between the two, hating this whole interaction. Luckily, their fathers motioned for the two princes to join their meeting. They nodded to them, then back at the rabbit.

"Have a good day Prince Shoto, you too Kacchan."

The blonde smiled, seeing a look shot at him from the curious prince.

'That's right, I'm his Kacchan you half-and-half-bastard.'

Everybody wants a piece of that KitKat bar!!

Chapter Text

Katsuki groaned to himself as the day he just had replayed in his head. Throughout the entire meeting earlier he and Shoto kept glancing up at one another. Both of them were curious about what the other one meant to the rabbit. It was hard not to notice the blush across his face when the other prince was near. It drove him insane. Izuku had blushed around the blonde before, several times by now. Since seeing someone else was able to do it almost as easy as it was for him, well, it set a fire in his eyes to make it stop.

The blonde knew he wanted to be the one to make his face tinted like that, the only one.The prince was on his back in the center of his bed he was just noticing was much too big for one person. He was a large, taller-than-usual alpha so his bed had been made to be bigger than most to accommodate his size. The furniture was big and comfortable, but even with his arms straight out, his fingertips didn't reach the edge of the bed.

Katsuki's tired eyes narrowed in a deep scowl as he glanced around the room. His fireplace in the center of his large wall was empty as it was summer. The red and black furniture, a couple of chairs, and a center table sat in the middle of the room and the prince couldn't remember the last time he had used any of it. He moved his body from the bed, only wearing a pair of softer pants as he walked onto the balcony behind him. The walkout was half the size of the room he had come from. He was living a life of luxury and was completely used to it, but something was missing. There was a hole in him and a presence that wasn't quite here that should be.

From here, he could overlook the kingdom he was so fond of. Although there were times he felt forced into being here, stuck in this life, he loved his kingdom and cared for the people in it. The lights and laughter from below made him feel jealous. He hardly ever got to leave these walls. Even growing up, Izuku came here to play, they never adventured outside the walls. On a few happy occasions, they were allowed to go to a festival or play in the woods but Izuku had to be with him, as well as a handful of guards who struggled to keep up with them.

Katsuki loved his life, proud of the life his parents had prepared for him but, at the same time, he was envious of those who got to do what they wanted and when. Thinking about it, there wasn't anything in particular he wanted to do or a life he dreamed of doing instead of this one but it was nice to think about the options. He had always liked working with his hands, using his body for some sort of labor so maybe a carpenter would be nice. He could use his swordsmanship to be a knight. He had the tolerance to be a great blacksmith too. Metalworking, glass blowing, anything involving the heat would be a good idea.

Maybe he'd be something alongside Izuku, make something of themselves. The biggest question the blonde wondered about was if had grown up a commoner and not royal when he and the omega were kids together, what would have happened? If there had been no break, no pause in their friendship, who would they be to each other right now?

Unfortunately for them, they'll never know. For now, they are just going to have to live life with the wonder of 'what if' as they work on their relationship now, in the present, reunited once more.

*******

This day was already aggravating Katsuki. His mother suggested he spar with Shoto. It was her sad attempt at making the two friends. Truthfully, he didn't mind the other prince. Shoto was the quietest and calmest one out there so it made being around him easier. Most of the other royals who came here and visited them were loud, expected the same type of treatment from staff and others as they would at home, and were just downright stuck up. When comparing all the guests they had here, the Todoroki family were the best ones to have around. They were the least annoying and up until the day before, Katsuki might have even referred to Shoto as his friend.

After seeing his eyes lingering on the rabbit, any sort of friendship they may have had a chance of having was long gone.

While the prince removed his cape and picked out a sword for himself and the bi-colored-eyed prince, Katsuki turned to his opponent holding the blade with darkened eyes. Shoto took it, looking at the craftsmanship before holding it up. He had removed his shirt as well as he saw the look in crimson eyes telling him that this was going to take some serious effort. Frankly, it looked like the dragon was ready to kill him.

When comparing the two, there was a clear winner without having to try. Katsuki was a dragon which meant he was taller, bigger, stronger, and had more weapons training than the wolf. In his kingdom, Shoto focuses more on his speed as well as using his words, seeing the mistakes his father makes when he takes action much too soon. From a distance, the young prince can easily decipher when was the right time to step in and when was the time to talk something out. Everyone was looking for more land and more money, so when it was easier to offer one of those things than risk lives fighting for something less than worth it, then that was the way to go.

The dragon agreed everything needed to be discussed and looked into before making a decision, before running into an unnecessary battle. Sure he was hot-headed and constantly ready for a fight, but that was his weapon he enjoyed raising, not at the risk of others. With that in mind, he raised his sword, ready to fight.

"I don't suppose you plan on taking it easy on me today, are you?" Shoto teased him, noticing the odd look the blonde had been giving to him since he arrived. It caught him a little off guard. He thought they were friends, getting along but based on the glare on his face, the alpha before him was ready to kill.

"Why would I do that?"

"Because you don't want to actually hurt me. Not when we're friends."

The dragon huffed out a snort, lurching forward as he snarled. He swung the sword toward the other prince's shoulder and attempted to knock him off his feet but it didn't work. Shoto recovered, dodging the blade and leaning back to push the blonde away.

"Friends? Is that what you think we are?"

"Before this moment, I would have referred to it as such. What changed?"

"Don't play dumb with me, dog. I'll put you right back in your place."

Katsuki turned the sword in his hand, repositioning it as he swung it once more. Lucky to be quick, Shoto raised his weapon and blocked it. He pushed the blade forward again, pressing him away once more, only this time the blonde was ready for that. The dragon turned his body, knocking back his elbow to hit the wolf's chest, making him fall over.

Shoto snarled, not understanding the aggression he was getting. "Why are you acting this way?"

The blonde narrowed his eyes, not believing the other prince for a second but the real confusion on his face gave it away. He had no idea there was something between him and the rabbit. Well, was there anything to defend?

The rabbit was unmarked, they weren't courting, they hadn't exchanged scents, and there was nothing else on Izuku that gave warning to anyone else. The dragon prince sighed, dropping his shoulders. How was he supposed to warn someone to stay away from the omega who wasn't even his, at least not yet? Katsuki had only just started to gift him things and make sure to spend more time together, but there wasn't anything he could say to Shoto right now to make him understand their long history without telling him everything. There was no way he was about to spill his guts to the half-and-half bastard any time soon.

"No reason. Sorry." Was all the blonde spat out as he held a hand out to help him up? Shoto took it, seeing it as a peace offering.

Two-toned eyes looked at him, trying to read his face. Right as the dragon was getting ready to say something, the wolf smirked. His shoulders dropped as well, shaking his head. "I see. Is this about the omega from yesterday?"

Katsuki's face and ears burned a bright pink. There was no way for him to deny it. "It might be."

Shoto smirked. The dragon was so stone-faced, hiding his emotions and opinions until he'd loudly exclaim them when given the chance. The prince has only ever seen his friend scowl or look ready to kill. Thinking about it, the blonde was smiling at the omega before he called out to him. Now it was written out to the wolf, his friend was angry with him for overstepping with a potential mate. A potential mate who Katsuki had never had before.

It was well known to everyone in the area who sought out the blonde dragon prince, the alpha was stubborn about his partner. Shoto had heard rumors at parties and events about the alpha's looks. Everyone had been drooling over him for so long and yet he was still unmarried, no mate, and without even courting someone. Word had spread about the alpha being extremely picky towards their mate, well, about anyone who dared stand too close to him. Shoto had seen for himself firsthand how sensitive his friend's nose could be to other's scents. The wolf who smelled like cedar tree sap, a musky yet sweet scent, had been told by the blonde he was too much sometimes. Knowing this about the dragon, the bi-colored-haired prince wanted to take a step back. He didn't plan on fully giving up on the rabbit, but he would gladly put his name in the hat for his hand.

"I see. My mistake to have interrupted your conversation yesterday then." The wolf nodded, lifting his weapon once more as he worked on moving on from the topic. Katsuki could see the fellow alpha in front of him acknowledged the attempt to court the omega, making him feel some sort of relief. "Shall we continue?"

"Sure, as long as you're ready to get your ass kicked." The dragon spat, returning to his usual cocky self.

Chapter Text

Everyone was exclusively busy in their own way today. Walking through town, everyone was taking more time than he thought to maneuver from place to place which meant he didn't make it in time for cinnamon rolls as planned. He did let out a small whimper when he saw the bakery was out. Instead, he walked on and bought some oranges done the way. They were far from the sweet treat he wanted, but they were something.

When the omega arrived at the gates he was still eating a slice so all he could muster was a puffy cheek smile and a wave as he handed them each a plump orange. They chuckled at this cute interaction and waved him past. They were getting used to seeing him so often now and beginning to like the rabbit as their own friend. He comes here often enough, always says hi, and brings treats when he can. But the little rabbit was like that with most people. They'd get to know him and begin to like him against their will. He made friends everywhere he went and in some cases, had people falling for him, even without knowing or trying. In most cases, the poor greenette was oblivious to his effects on people. Just like a certain set of princes.

As he walked into the castle walls, the sound of metal clanking against another caught his attention. To his surprise and slight amusement, the blonde and duel-colored-haired prince was shirtless and training with swords. They were fascinating to watch and also slightly arousing. Shoto was a strong prince, his shirtless upper body allowed emerald eyes to land on thick biceps and impressive abs with fair skin. His chest is always built strong as well as his back when he turns to dodge. Shoto was impressive, to say the least, but he didn't come close to Katsuki. The blonde was taller and wider, his muscles more pronounced and straining with every move he made. Both were attractive and had many admirers. They knew this too, dealing with admirers and suitors their whole lives but one person in particular caught both their eyes.

Katsuki dodged a blow and as he looked up, he managed to spot green curls across the way. He smiled as he dodged another swing from Shoto, knocking him over with little effort. He laid his weapon on the table, jogging over happily to visit his omega as the wolf behind up crashed to the ground. Emerald eyes now watched that perfect body bounce and come closer to him. His cheeks heated at the sight, looking down at the ground while making the blonde feel proud at his reaction to him.

"Deku!"

"Hi, Kacchan." Despite the tips of his ears also having a small burn feeling, he looked up. Katsuki wore a handsome grin, so good-looking he would have been able to make any knees shake, including Izuku's. They paused, taking in the sight of the other one, always seeming to be blown away by them.

"Uh, did you get your cinnamon roll?"

Izuku's red-faced smile wiped away as he whimpered again. "No, too many people today."

"Oh, sorry." The alpha wanted to hit himself for bringing it up and making him so sad. He didn't like it, sort of. The pout was adorable but he didn't like the rabbit being sad. The distress pheromones coming from him were burnt mint. All he wanted to do was say something that let him know he listened to him but, that failed.

"I'm here for letters from your mother. Did you have something?"

"I just wanted to say hi." The blonde flushed. "So, hi."

The rabbit giggled, a hand coming up to hide his smile. It took a lot of willpower for the prince not to reach up and pull the hand away from his face to see it better."

I already said hi to you Kacchan."

"You haven't greeted me yet." Shoto panted as he jogged to join them. Bi-colored eyes glared at the alpha next to him, wanting to throw a punch at him for knocking him over. It was clear he tried to keep him away so there'd be alone time with the rabbit.

"Hello, Prince Shoto." The rabbit grinned, still wearing tinted freckled cheeks.

"Just Shoto, no need for formalities."

"Okay."

The three of them stood there. Neither came up with something to say. Emerald eyes moved from one face to the other, wondering what was going on, what they were thinking, and being confused. Both of these princes were staring down at him with smiles, maybe even lust. He wasn't used to it, this was a foreign feeling to him. Suddenly Uraraka's joke from the other day about being surrounded by royals made him smile wider. He had the best friends.

"Izuku! Just in time." The king walked outside with the queen on his arm. They both had a stack of envelopes wrapped in twine. They handed him the stacks. "Some of those are for locals to order some materials, some go to vendors for orders, but most are for our friends. Oh, and here is your payment. I did put a little extra in there because I urgently need the local letters to get delivered today."

The rabbit took them, flipping through some to read where they might be going out. He needed to know where he needed to be rushing off to. Soon the queen leaned forward, holding a small sack out to him. "I also had the chef prepare you a lunch since you'll be running around all day. I didn't want you to skip a meal because of us."

The rabbit smiled at the queen, appreciating her caring so much about him.

"Thank you. I'll get these out right away." He nodded to the royals as they walked away. Emerald eyes turned his attention back to the princes. "I guess I should be heading out. Sorry for interrupting your training. I hope you two have a great rest of the day though!"

"No problem at all," Shoto stated.

"See you soon, Deku."

Another round of smiles is thrown at him before he walks out the gates. His heart is pounding, not sure what to do about the attention he had just been given by them. They were so kind, royal, and handsome. Why would they take time out of their day to even wave at him, much less drop what they were doing to walk over? It didn't make sense but, Izuku wasn't complaining.

"Are you alright, Izuku?" One of the guards asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I got a lot of places to be. See you guys next time!"

******

The last delivery of the day was an order to be put in at a pub. They must have been expecting guests as this was an order for a future date so they could make enough of it. He sighed as he turned it over, the last letter, finally. He let his body relax after running around all day. Izuku didn't mind, he enjoyed the rush of his day.

"Mido! Hi!" Someone called out to him from behind. Hearing the nickname, he assumed one of three nobles. To his surprise when he landed on a waving arm in the air, all three were gathered around a table.

He beamed as he walked over, joining them and getting a hug around his shoulders from Sero next to him. "Hi guys, what are you doing?"

"Just blowing off some steam." The raven-haired noble sighed.

"We sat in a few meetings with Bakubro today and we had to be on our best behavior," Kirishima whined, pouting into his mug.

"It was so hard to do, all day long!" The blonde beta groaned, melting onto the table.

"Oh wow, sounds rough." The rabbit giggled, knowing the three were young and rowdy so having to put on a brave face all day would be challenging. "So, what are we drinking?"

The rabbit pulled an empty mug over, grabbing a pitcher from the center as well and joining them. They all went wide-eyed at the boldness before cheering him on. The nobles were shocked to see him being so bold as he kept his composure well while in the castle, so it was a little enjoyable to watch him let loose for once. It also makes them feel much more relaxed to see him like this too.

The three sets of nobles suddenly got a shared idea. They looked at each other, seeing everyone was on the same page, smirking as their plan evolved. It was clear the prince, one of their closest friends, had a thing for the greenette sitting at the table. The way they talk to each other, interact, and look at each other, you had to be completely blind to not see how they are with the other. They had agreed on their first day of meeting the rabbit that none of them had ever seen the blonde prince react like this to anyone. Each of them knew the prince had a picky alpha, each of them knew the rabbit lost his sense of smell, and each of them knew they didn't let those get in the way of longing and pinning for each other. All three were rooting for the two to get together, they just needed a little nudge to get it moving quicker.

"So," Kirishima started. "Shall we make the night more enjoyable with a game?"

"Whatever did you have in mind, Kiri?" Denki stated, his voice trying to sound serious but that was something he struggled to do.

"How about some 'never have I ever?' Izuku, have you ever played?"

"Yeah." It sounded more like a question as he narrowed his eyes. They were not as clever as they tried to be, he knew there was a reason behind their playfulness, he was just too oblivious to why.

"Okay, let's see, Sero, want to start us off?" The smaller beta wigged his brows at the man across from him.

"Sure thing!" Sero smiled at the other two nobles, then smirked at Izuku. "Never have I ever courted with someone before."

No one drinks.

It was a little shocking to the omega that none of them had someone in their sights. It was equally shocking to them that the rabbit had never had anyone either. He was not only a very wanted rabbit, but an omega as well.

"Alright. Never have I ever kissed anyone before." Denki watched the greenette carefully.

They all drink.

"Alright spill, you gotta say who."

"A princess who shall remain nameless, mostly because I didn't ask for it," Kirishima stated as they all oohed at him. "It's not like that, we were both drinking at a ball and she found me in a hall to kiss. We blamed it on the drinks and her being forced there to find a mate and wanted to have some fun."

The group nodded and agreed with him it was just for fun but the look on his face said it meant more to him. The rest of them admitted to childhood crushes and kissing young. The redhead carried on though as it was his turn. "Never have I ever been with someone in bed."

Izuku was starting to get an idea most of these questions were directed at getting to know him. These nobles spent most of their time together and attended the same events. Surely they had to know these about the other already. Although, he had to admit he was having a good time anyway.

Only Sero drinks.

"What? Since when man?" Kirishima slams his mug down in excitement and a little bit of betrayal not having been told beforehand.

Okay so maybe they didn't tell each other everything as the greenette had assumed.

Sero blushed madly, covering his face with both hands. He laughed and groaned at the same time. "Um, it was a momentary time of weakness during their rut cycle. Since they really looked to be struggling, I presented to an alpha I had met and seen before and helped them get through it. Plus, a couple of months later he helped me with my heat."

Izuku was a little surprised to hear this. He didn't know much about betas other than they can get both ruts and heat depending on their partner. Without being mated, they experience less frequent heat cycles and only yearly ruts rather than other than usual alpha who experiences one every two or three months.

"Who?" Denki was interested now.

"I am not telling you." Sero shook his head. They egged him on, trying to get a confession.

"If you don't want to tell us, then that means we know them!" The other beta pointed out.

"You don't fucking know them! My god, just, move on. Mido, it's your turn." Sero was a very unusual shade of red the rabbit had never seen before. He was curious about who it was.

"Okay, um." He thought about it, wondering what to ask, and then how to ask it. "Never have I ever flirted with a coworker."

Izuku and Denki both drink.

It was the rabbit's way of figuring out if Sero's mystery alpha was the prince. Seeing he didn't drink was a relief. However, he had a new problem as he had to admit to flirting with a new hire a couple of years ago. The beta he liked was handsome but had a mate before he could flirt too much.

"Now, since we have spilled secrets to each other I am sure we'll never let the other one live down, how about we play an adult game?" Izuku asked, getting out a penny and flipping it in his hand.

They again shouted for the boldness. This rabbit was tougher than it looked and could handle his own for sure. If anyone could stand their hot-headed friend as a mate, it would be someone like him.

"Alright! Another pitcher please!" Sero shouted.

"You're on, Midobro!"

Chapter Text

Katsuki woke up against his will, his body still feeling gloomy. Every night he had stayed up thinking about emerald eyes. What was he doing? How was he doing? When would be the next time they'd see each other? So many unanswered questions that bothered him so much. His banter with Shoto only made him realize how valuable and wanted his rabbit was. Izuku was his to claim, even if the greenette didn't know it yet. However, if he doesn't overthink it, he thinks the rabbit might want him too.

He got dressed for the day in his usual leather pants. As he put on his cape and necklaces, he kept wondering how to go about this. How does he get it started to have him next to him quicker? He wanted to hold the rabbit, to carry him like he had before, be near him longer than a few minutes to make a delivery.

A low growl escaped him as he entered his lounge room with his chair and desk in a corner. Sitting around the table were his three moron nobles. They held their heads, groaning and barely moving. "What the hell happened to you three?"

All three groaned in unison.

"Please, stop yelling," Kirishima whined.

The prince held in a small chuckle at their misery. "I see you three had a little too much last night."

"No, no, no. We were played last night. We were misled and fooled into thinking he didn't drink as much as us!" Denki complained, holding his temples with his forehead against the cool table in front of him.

"Right? He's so small, you'd think Mido would go out before Denks but no." Sero groaned again.

Crimson eyes widened as he stormed over to the table. "Mido? You three idiots drank with Deku?"

"Yeah, and he kicked our asses. I mean, when did he get so good at flipping a little coin?" Kirishima nearly cried.

"Oh god, don't say a coin. I can hear it hitting the glass in my head and now I think I'm gonna throw up." Sero held his temples as he leaned to put his forehead on the cold table as well. It was a sad attempt at getting some sort of relief.

"What the hell happened last night?" The prince demanded.

Through stammers and breaks for the blonde beta to throw up, they caught the alpha up on their party with the rabbit. A few times his brows lifted in surprise to hear Izuku, of all people, was someone who could not just hold their liquor well, but also flip a coin over his shoulder on a dare for Denki to drink an entire pitcher alone.

Once they were done and still trying to get their heads to stop spinning, the prince thought of the rabbit. Was he in just as bad shape as them?

He needed to find out.

"Let's go, we have somewhere we need to be and I need to make a couple of stops."

"You're making us leave? In the middle of us dying?" Sero asked, his voice straining.

Katsuki did something he had never done before, never thought of doing. He skipped his prince duties for the day and left the castle walls. He and his friends got on horses. Although they were all groaning and complaining about the sun being too bright, the horse moving too much, or their heads hurting, they went on.

The alpha stopped at a few places to pick up a few things from a handful of vendors. The bakery, the butcher, and a couple more they passed along the way. They arrived at the workstation, some people staring and trying to get his attention. They tried to give him gifts and talk to him but he was on a mission, a plan he was working on putting into motion. The main boss of the station was happy to see the blonde. "Prince Katsuki! Wow, to what do I owe the pleasure?"

"I need the address of one of your employees. Izuku Midoriya."

The boss laughed nervously. "Well, normally I don't give out that information but seeing as you are the prince and must need it, I will gladly hand it over."

His expression didn't change as he waited for the man to write down. Aggravation was settling in as the people were getting louder, crowding him, figuring out what he was doing here. He ignored them and pressed on.

Izuku's house was small but perfect for a single person to live in. There was a small picket fence and small cobblestones leading to his front door. There was a garden on each side of the walkway of various veggies. Vines nearly surrounded the outer walls, taking up nearly the whole building. It was cozy, warm, and welcoming, much like the rabbit who lived here. A smile settled on handsome features at this, liking the comparison of the home to the homeowner.

The little gate squeaked as it opened. The three behind him groaned, causing his eyes to roll. When he knocked on the door, the same sound of pain was heard on both sides of the door. Soon it opened, revealing a slightly groggy rabbit who could barely muster a smile at his guest. "Hi, Kacchan."

"Hi, Deku. You, uh, you look like shit." He chuckled. The rabbit narrowed his eyes.

"To what do I owe the pleasure for, prince know it all?"

Katsuki let out another small laugh, loving the feistiness of this rabbit. No one talked back to him like this, no one joked with him like this. Sure his friends gave him a hard time every once in a while but, not back talk like this.

"Well, they told me what happened, and if they look like that, then I assumed you must look like that too."

"Like shit?" The rabbit rubbed his head as the prince smiled wider.

"Yeah, something like that." Emerald eyes rolled but he couldn't hold back a smile either. "I come baring gifts."

"Well, you should have started with that."

He welcomed them all in, Kirishima and Sero taking over the couch while Denki sprawled out on the floor in front of them. Izuku sat in a side chair, curling himself into it and holding his head. The prince found him adorable, like a kid who was sick. Seeing his friends, and his potential mate all in the same state from a night out together was a funny sight. He was sad to have missed it of course but was also glad to see them all getting along. If Izuku did accept his court and become his mate, it was nice to know he already got along with the people the prince was closest with, parents included.

Katsuki moved into the kitchen. A guilty pleasure of his was making food, although he rarely got the opportunity as a prince. Taking care of Izuku was becoming a guilty pleasure of his too. From taking care of him as a kid, giving him things to smell for his nose, and now a horrible hangover.

He walked over to the rabbit, tapping his shoulder. Sleepy and half-opened emerald eyes looked up at him. The alpha's heart felt like it was doing flips in his rib cage as he ached to see him in this state. Izuku was beautiful, even tired and not feeling one hundred percent, the rabbit was still the most gorgeous creature there was.

"Water?" Small hands reached up to hold the glass like it was a lifeline. Yet again his heart ached at something the rabbit did. "Maybe even a little treat for your stomach to soak up?"

The blonde presented the rabbit with a freshly made cinnamon roll he had the baker make in front of him. Emerald eyes suddenly shot wide open from the look of it as he gasped. A happy yet short chirp too. "You got one during this time of day?"

"I'm Prince Katsuki, I get what I want."

The rabbit giggled, taking the treat and digging in with a pleased purr, making the alpha delighted to know he was the reason for this. "Oh god, I could die happy now."

"Do we get one of those?" Kirishima asked.

"No." The smile was gone now as he glared at his friends.

Katsuki moved to the kitchen, continuing what he came here to do which was to feed the idiots. While he worked on a meal, they started to bring up events from the night, laughing and chatting like they had all known each other for a lifetime. They told the rabbit stories about Katsuki which were all annoying but made him smile or laugh. He also bagged on them, making sure the greenette knew they were just as big idiots as he knew they were.

Crimson eyes looked down at the steaks he had just finished seasoning. A thought shot into his head, wondering if he just made a huge mistake. He was feeding a rabbit, did he eat meat? As kids, they were around for lunch which usually meant little sandwiches or snacks. He couldn't remember if any of those treats involved meat.

"Oh man, those look good. And the seasonings look fantastic! I really wish I could smell them right now." As if the rabbit could hear, he leaned over the table in front of the dragon to peer at them.

"Yeah? I can make a salad if you don't want this."

"A salad when those look like the best-cut steaks? I'm not crazy." Izuku teased as he got more water.

"I keep forgetting you can't smell stuff," The blonde beta stated, also getting more water. "Is it weird?"

"Sometimes. I miss stuff and I feel like I am missing out on some things." The prince's gaze raked over the rabbit. He could tell it bothered Izuku more than he was letting on. Thoughts were running around in his head that weren't being said out loud, and the prince wanted to know. He wanted to know what bothered him so much and how to fix it. His mission to get his sense back only doubles seeing his little pout. He'd figure it out, one way or another. "But I don't let it slow me down."

Izuku beamed a perfect smile as he looked up to meet the blonde's eyes. Again they shared a moment, looking at each other and taking in the other one. Katsuki loved these moments. Crimson eyes took in those emeralds that haunted his mind with or without him near. He took in the freckles that spread across the omega's face and littered the rest of his body. His skin looked so soft, fair, and almost shiny. A large hand nearly reached out to run a thumb along his cheek.

"So you can't smell this?" Denki asked, putting a handful of pepper under the greenette's nose.

Izuku scrunched his face as he sneezed hard enough to fall on his ass. Everyone laughed, even the rabbit. He sneezed a second time before the prince put strong hands on his waist and put him back on his feet. As soon as he stood back up, he sneezed a third time and flew back right into the alpha's chest.

"Uh, no. I cannot smell it but, now my nose is all tingly."

Another round of laughs and some more stories lead them to a late night after a very enjoyable dinner. They were leaving to not over stay their welcome, the rabbit smiling and waving as they left. "See you soon, Deku."

"See you, Kacchan."

With the rabbit closing the door behind them, and the three morons getting back on their horses, he took his chance. Without a sense of smell, he couldn't be caught as he heavily scented the house in his scent, warning others this omega had an alpha.

Let it be known he not only had an alpha but that alpha was Prince Katsuki.

Chapter Text

"Midoriya! Guys look!" One of the children playing outside yells while pointing at the approaching rabbit.

"Don't run!" Keane shouts at them as his wife Cho just softly laughs at their reactions.

Izuku prepares himself as a group of children ranging in age from three to twelve run his way. His boss was fully aware the greenette had a connection to this orphanage, so he knew when a package came for them that he had to give it to Izuku as his only delivery of the day.

That and because the orphanage was deep in the woods. Far enough the walls of the kingdom were no longer in sight. The older couple moved out here the two of them after they became mates to get some peace and quiet. When they realized late in life that they wouldn't be blessed to have children of their own, they started to take in children who needed them instead. They managed to make use of their resources and create a safe place to raise young ones. In their lifetime, the couple had helped raise or temporarily care for over two hundred children.

The rabbit knows them all by name and greets them with small gifts of treats or trinkets he has lying around. They climb up his sides so someone can sit on his shoulders, and another hangs off his arm while a set of twins sit on his feet and make him struggle to walk. All laughing and trying to tell him the latest update from his latest visit.

"Izuku, you're just in time for lunch," Cho exclaims when he finally gets to the door.

He leans down for the little lady in her late forties to kiss his cheek as usual. "I always am."

"What do you have for us boy?" Keane asked, sticking his chest out.

"Looks like a few letters and a small box." He handed it over to the older man who opened it up and revealed a bracelet. It was beaded and had a mix of different shades of blues.

Cho gasped. "You remembered!"

"I'm not that old." Keane chuckled. He noticed Izuku and the other children staring at them, wondering what was happening. "For your information, today happens to be our anniversary. That bracelet is one we saw when we all went to that festival a couple of months ago."

"Oh I know it's little and isn't very flashy but, I love it anyway. Thank you very much, my handsome mate." She kisses Keane's cheek and the younger kids groan, making the rabbit giggle. "Now come on, let's eat!"

Everyone gathers around a table and fights to sit next to the rabbit.

"Midoriya! Will you play cops and robbers with us after lunch?"

"No, he's gonna play on the swings with me."

"What about a tea party?"

"Actually, the first thing he's gonna do is help me fix a leak in the roof. Won't you boy?"

"Yes sir!" Izuku exclaimed. "But, as soon as I'm done, I'll play with you all, I promise."

That lightens the mood enough for them all to erupt into telling him stories again and begging for his attention one at a time. Izuku enjoyed it. He knows they don't get a ton of visitors out here so when someone does come around, they use the time they're here.

******

After the day is over and everyone is thoroughly exhausted from running around and playing, Izuku takes his time saying goodbye to everyone. Some kids hug him, some a high five, some still getting used to him just nod. He makes sure to give Cho a hug and allow Keane to crush his midsection, showing off he still has it. The rabbit pretended to be outwitted more than he was.

"Be good and I'll see you all next time!" The rabbit shouts as he walks back down the trail. They shout and call out final goodbyes to him until he's out of earshot and everyone retires inside.

The small trail leading to the orphanage is a long way from the kingdom, but it's beautiful. Trees in this forest seem so tall that might reach the heavens. Sun rays shine through them with very little light as they fall for the day. The moon is already peaking out from the horizon which thankfully is a full one tonight. He stayed too long, he knew that. Honestly, he couldn't help it. He was drawn there and didn't visit as often as he wanted to so when they ask him to help with repairs or look into something, he cannot resist saying no.

Izuku doesn't mind. He could find his way home from here with his eyes closed. Instead, he looks out at the wildflowers growing everywhere, some berries that had sprouted. There were even a few deer that crossed his path, making him smile wide. Deep down he had wondered why nature and animals seemed to like him more than most. Maybe being a rabbit was less intimidating so others felt better approaching him or revealing themselves. He had even come across a rogue wolf once, they made eye contact and Izuku bowed to him. The wolf only lifted his head before running off. The rabbit had been confused, wondering what that meant.

Remembering his interaction with the wolf distracted him from hearing a horse rush his way. When the thunder of hooves on the ground came close enough, emerald eyes found a large stranger on a very impressive horse heading straight towards him. To feel safer, he moved his feet off the trail to make way for him. To his surprise, the stranger slowed and even stopped in front of him. "Hello, stranger."

The man on the horse was an alpha, that was clear to sense. His smile was friendly but it didn't meet his eyes, making the rabbit feel a certain way. He took notice that the wall was in sight but still quite a ways away, leaving the two of them alone. Izuku took him in and felt his side but cursed himself for forgetting his dagger at home. After he lost the other one and admitted it to the prince, on his next visit to the castle he was granted another one. Unfortunately for him, he was running late this morning and had forgotten it at home, and his water canteen.

"H-hello." Izuku stammered out. He didn't like being alone with this man. There was something off about the way he looked at the greenette. Those brown eyes were all over him, taking him in and trying to figure him out. Izuku couldn't tell what he was but he sensed something feline. Maybe a cat hybrid, a bobcat, mountain lion? It was hard to tell without the man saying it out loud or being able to smell him. Another reason Izuku hated not having a sense of smell.

"I'm sorry to bother you as it looks like maybe you're in the middle of something, but I'm pretty lost." The stranger removed a rolled-up map from his satchel and showed it to him. "I am looking for a cobbler. My wife says he lives out here somewhere but the only thing I have managed to find is an orphanage and, uh, you." He forces a laugh. "Would you be able to help me?"

Again, his instincts were telling him no, to run away, to not trust this man. Deep down, Izuku is conflicted. He had been attacked not that long ago so maybe what had happened was clouding his better judgment from helping a seemingly harmless man. Emerald eyes blinked up at him, looking onto his face with caution as he took a deep breath. "You're looking for Hanga. He is on the other side of the wall. You may be viewing your map upside down."

The stranger looks at his paper, flipping it over and pointing to a house. "Is this him?"

Izuku hesitated to take a closer glance at where he had been pointing. "Yes."

The stranger laughs, sliding hands down his face. "Oh, that is quite embarrassing. I'm sorry to have bothered you for such a silly thing."

"It's alright, have a good day."

Thankfully this interaction was over and Izuku could walk away from something that gave him shivers down his spine. Or so he thought.

"Do you live around here?"

The omega looked back at him, seeing the man was now following him, making his horse walk right alongside him. Izuku gulped, he was getting a worse and worse feeling about this. He was sure he was presenting distressed scents, or at least trying to which meant the man either didn't notice or didn't care. Either way, he hated this and didn't know what to do at the moment.

"I do." Izuku lied.

He scanned their surroundings to check if anyone else was around or could see them, but nothing. His best chance was to keep a decent distance between him and the man until they could get close enough to the wall for him to get into the mess and busyness of the kingdom markets and vendors.

"My wife and I used to live here but moved closer to the harbor because of my business. I'm only back to fetch the shoes she had left with the cobbler by mistake and a few extra things." He went on. Izuku had no idea why the man was telling him this.

He shot a glance upward at him, trying to see if maybe he looked familiar. He didn't. Knowing for sure they had no previous contact or anything before this moment only made his gut feeling grow stronger to get away from him. He wanted to get away. He wanted to magically appear in his home, or the comfort of his friend the alpha. He couldn't describe or explain why but, being near the dragon prince would help calm his nerves just as much as being home. Was that normal? Was it okay for him to think that way? Would the prince be okay to comfort him if he ran to him for such a thing? He had been there to comfort the rabbit when he was attacked. Maybe he didn't mind.

"Are you curious why we needed to move closer to the harbor? It's for my job." Izuku only nodded, not wanting to let the man think he wanted to know more or even cared what else there was to this. When he thought maybe that was the final thought, the man pulled his horse in front of Izuku, stopping him in place. Izuku looked up at him, confused. "My job is trade. Once a month someone meets me at the harbor and they trade me goods and money for barrels. But here's the thing, they aren't empty." The man smirks, his eyes becoming cold and dark. "Ask me what's in the barrels."

Izuku stopped breathing. He had an idea, a deep feeling he already knew by the way this man was looking him up and down again. He didn't ask. He didn't need to.

"I fill those barrels with highly wanted omegas, and no one's more wanted than omegan rabbits like you." His voice is deep and threatening.

In the blink of an eye, the stranger grabbed a rope and tried to capture Izuku but the greenette dodged it, just barely.

Izuku allowed his legs to quickly carry him away from the man. He ran, nowhere in particular, nowhere in his mind to go to. He just ran. Hooves behind him were getting closer. With everything he had, he forced himself to run faster.

Like all hybrids, he had special abilities. As a dragon hybrid, Katsuki had wings to fly, fire control, and heightened senses. As a cat hybrid, Uraraka could jump better, have a better sense of balance, and have nearly perfect night vision. As a rabbit hybrid, Izuku could run faster than the horse behind him. The only issue was, as an omega, his endurance would run out before the horse.

In other words, it was only a matter of time before he was caught.

Chapter Text

The metal clashes together in a loud bang. Swords battle for strength before one eventually falls to the ground. "Ha, I don't think I've disarmed you in years."

"Yeah, good block old man." Katsuki sighed, picking the weapon back up and getting into position again. He waited for the ravenette to get in a ready stance as well but he sheathed the sword and crossed his arms. Dark eyes stared at the blonde in front of him, knowing there was a reason for his win. "What?"

"As much fun as it is to win against you, I'm not going to keep taking advantage of your mental state for my gain. Now, that's distracting you?" Aizawa asked, moving to the table and grabbing a canteen of water.

The blonde groaned, knowing it was no use to hide from his mentor or his feelings anymore. Aizawa worked very closely with his father as an advisor and was technically his godfather. This being known to the blonde, he always saw the dark-haired man as his secondary father. Also, he could use the advice without having to ask his real parents, knowing they'd tease him less than Aizawa would.

"There's someone I want to court."

"The rabbit?"

"How the hell did you know?" Crimson eyes narrowed, hating to admit he was right. He also tried to piece together how this man figured it out.

"You made googly eyes at him that one time and from what I've heard, you've never done that before. Plus, I didn't really know, that was a guess." He looked proud of himself.

"Yeah, well good guess." The alpha sat with a thud, letting his body fall.

"So where lies the issue?"

There was a beat of silence. Mostly because he didn't want to have to admit this, and he knew the man would never let him live this down. "I have no idea how to start courting."

Another beat of silence. Soon the man broke and chuckled aloud. "Really? Years of preparing you for battles, for strategy, to be a king one day, and you never learned how to court someone?"

The prince was getting upset. He had a point and it even shocked him to hear the ironic news but that didn't stop him from throwing a spear at a target, bullseye.

"Alright, I'm sorry." Aizawa patted his shoulder when he was seated again. "When I courted my mate, I already knew everything he liked or wanted as courting gifts. Start small. Speaking from experience, the heart-to-heart stuff of their favorite things instead of the bold and flashy ones, they're always the bigger hit."

Katsuki took those words to heart. Izuku was a simple soul.

Katsuki paused, smelling the air. Burnt mint found his nostrils. It was Izuku, and more importantly, it was Izuku in distress. Aizawa watched the blonde's face change and become serious. "What is it?"

"Izuku, he's in trouble."

Katsuki sprouted his dragon wings and tail, his horns already out as normal. He flew up and looked around, trying to find those green curls he knew were close. Past the wall, in the forest, and away from the wall, crimson eyes found their target.

Izuku was running as fast as he could, pushing himself hard as someone on a horse chased after him. The prince watched as the man whipped a rope at the rabbit, catching his waist and pulling him back harshly. Izuku rolled and from where he was, his heightened senses allowed him to hear the poor greenette grunt and whimper from the pain. Seeing this, the man getting closer, Katsuki took off, flying faster than he ever had before.

"You're only making it harder on yourself, you filthy omega." The man shouted, getting off his horse. He moved with a murderous smile toward the greenette who tried to untie the rope from his body desperately.

Katsuki landed in front of the rabbit. "Kacchan!"

The prince burned the rope in half so the man couldn't pull back. In a swift motion, he then scooped the omega up, flying him upwards and setting him carefully on a high tree branch. He looked at tearful emerald eyes. As difficult as it was to not immediately comfort the rabbit, the prince had something he needed to do first. "I'll be right back."

Izuku only nodded as the blonde flew to the man who had attacked him. He was back on his horse and attempting to ride off in a hurry. It wasn't fast enough though as Katsuki grabbed his shirt collar and pulled him off the horse, letting his body fall to the ground with a deep thud.

The man got back up, searching for the dragon. Behind him, he felt the ground move as something big, and heavy landed behind him. "What the hell-"

Before he could finish, a large hand wrapped around his throat. Katsuki picked him up and slammed his back on the ground. He opened his wings and flew a few feet, dragging the attacker with him so there was a line in the ground. The prince picked the man back up, throwing him into a tree, breaking his ribs against the trunk. The stranger groaned, holding in a whimper as he sat upright. The blonde slowly stalled towards the injured man. He watched as brown eyes widened in panic, searching for someone else, for help, or an escape.

There was none.

"Why did you attack a rabbit?" Katauki's voice was loud and demanding. The man struggled to push himself further into the tree. Panic and fear overtook him as he looked at the dragon prince with rage in his eyes. "Answer me."

He laughed, the fucker bothered to laugh. "I was going to sell him to a group of traders near the harbor."

"Why him?"

"He's an unmated omega rabbit. He'd be worth thousands overseas! It's how I make a living." Seeing there was no way out of this situation, he grew angry at the blonde. Not only had the prince interrupted one of the best deals in his lifetime, something that would have made him rich, but he had hurt him pretty miserably in the process. An arm around his ribs that were surely broken and a beaten-in and exhausted body. He didn't want to be put in jail for this, he didn't want to return home to his family as they'd know the monster he was. "I could have retired with the payment I would get for him. Not just because of who and what he is, but that omega sure is a fucking pretty one. He would have sold for a good price without being an omega, or a rabbit. Those things just made him even more fucking valuable."

"How do you meet with these men?" Katsuki remained calm, despite hating everything he just said. He spoke about Izuku like some filthy property or pass-around slut. Izuku was more than that, to slander him was slandering the prince as well. He kept the man alive, hearing guards approaching but, he wouldn't live for much longer.

"You mean my boss? They have no fucking shame about it. They walk around asking who'd be willing to bring them omegas and small betas. I just happened to be visiting the town when they approached me. I've been working for them for years. I've sold almost a hundred of fucking losers." He spat blood from his mouth. He made a final attempt, trying to end his suffering. "That rabbit, that one would have been my best fucking trade yet. Fuck, he's so fucking tempting, I would've had to have had a taste for myself."

With that, the blond grabbed his throat, slamming his body against the large trunk of the tree. Brown eyes were shut, his face ready for more pain or the end of it. He wanted to die, he wanted the prince to kill him. Katsuki only smirked, leaning down.

"I know you have more information. I know you're hiding something." The man now looked at the alpha in front of him in fear. The tall wings behind him, horns growing out of his head, his deep crimson eyes that looked like they were glowing, it was terrifying. "I'm gonna make you wish you stayed in whatever hole you climbed out of."

Guards appear, Aizawa leading them towards the prince. He shoved him forward to be arrested. "Sire, what-"

"Take him to the dungeons, I'll see him later tonight."

The man was not going to see his family again. He'd never see another tainted cent from his dealings, and he'd never see sunlight again. "No, no! Just kill me! Fucking end my life! Not this. Not this!"

A guard hit him, a warning to keep quiet.

Aizawa strides up next to the blonde. He looked down at him with a smirk. "I'm assuming your training is done for the day?"

"Yeah. Will you have someone prepare the guest room?" He looked up, his eyes resting on legs hanging off a tree branch of a nearby tree. Aizawa followed his gaze, understanding him.

"Of course." A small chuckle escaped him. He bent his finger, motioning the prince to lean forward so he could whisper to him. "I don't think rabbits like heights, your highness."

As soon as his mentor turned his back to the prince and took a few steps, he flew up. Slowly he approached his rabbit. The greenette's eyes were clamped shut, arms around the trunk of the tree. Aizawa was right, he didn't belong up here.

"Izuku?"

Emeralds appeared and they held back tears. The prince slowly sat next to the rabbit and right away his torso was held. He hugged Izuku back, putting a strong arm around him and holding his head to his chest. Small sobs left his mouth and each time it caused a deeper pain for the alpha holding him.

"It's okay Izuku, I got you. Calm down." The omega sniffled, taking deep breaths.

"I hate this. I hate all of it." He didn't dare move and Izuku didn't dare look up. "I have to fight almost every day of my life. All because some people out there see what was born as like some kind of sweet treat, like a toy waiting to be played with."

"I know. It's not right. I'm sorry little bunny."

"I don't like this. He said I'd be worth so much. He said he turned people in every week." The prince listened. He planned on torturing the man later, a way to get more omegas safe, but this was helpful too. "Something about selling them in barrels. Can you imagine how terrifying that must be?"

"I'll send the word out. We'll do what we can."

"But what about the future, Kacchan? I'm just a dumb rabbit who can barely handle himself. I have no one out there counting on me to come home to them. It'll be weeks if I go missing for anyone to notice. I have no one, no alpha."

It pained the dragon to hear this, to hear his deepest thoughts. He knew the rabbit was upset and letting his feelings show more than usual. He had hoped it was because Izuku felt safe with him, felt protected. He'd be right. With the prince around, no harm would ever brush past this little freckled rabbit.

Katsuki pulled himself together. As much as he wanted to tell the omega 'I can be your alpha' or 'let me take care of you,' he knew it'd be overwhelming right now. Instead, he took a deep breath and forced a delicate chin to look up at him.

"How long did it take my mother and me to find you when you were arrested?"

Sniffles slowed as he took the time to think. "A few hours. But that was in your kingdom."

"How often do you report to work or even to the castle?"

"Almost every day."

"Exactly. People are waiting for you everywhere Izuku. Don't be foolish enough to think you're alone out there."

That was all it took for the rabbit to feel better. Truly, he felt much calmer to be told people out there did care for him. His friends, the guards at the castle, the royal family, the three nobles, and even the prince who helped him now. Realizing he was being told by the source that he was cared for made him happy and a little taken back. Tears filled his eyes again for a different reason. He tucked himself into the alpha, taking advantage of his kindness and his warmth.

Katsuki held the greenette in his arms, his shoulders shaking under him as the rabbit allowed himself to breakdown, a moment of weakness in front of someone he trusted. Soon those little sobs turned back into little pants, letting himself calm down.

"Kacchan?"

"Yes, little bunny?"

"We're really high up here."

The blonde let out a small laugh. "Is the omega afraid of heights?"

"Not all of us have wings!"

Izuku playfully smacked at the bare shoulder next to him. Emerald eyes stayed focused on the tattoo on an upper arm that he had seen so many times before but never this close. The black ink made a beautiful 'C' surrounded by vines and curves. It was the kingdom's crest. He knew one day, that whoever mated the prince would wear the same one, and somehow that made him feel jealous. Luckily his face was already flush from crying so it was hard to notice from the outside, but the heat on his face was new as he looked downward.

"Come here, I won't let you fall." Katsuki slowly placed an arm under the rabbit's legs as another snaked around his midsection. "Hold on, I've got you omega."

When he felt small arms hold onto his shoulders, the prince leaned over, stretching his wings out as they slowly glided down to the ground. Izuku whimpered, scared of how high up they were. He tucked his face into the blonde's neck, not wanting to watch. There was some guilt about how tightly he was holding onto the prince, but Katsuki could not love this any more than he already was.

The blonde led him back to the castle, convincing him to stay the night there and calm down. Plus, his parents would like to hear the details in case there was more they could do. When they reached the door, before it opened, there was a small tug on the blonde's cape.

Izuku looked up with large emerald eyes, he was making himself small as he found the courage to say what he wanted. His thumb rubbed the red fabric between his fingers. Katsuki moved his body to face him, reaching a hand out to comfort his shoulder. "Is everything alright, little bunny?"

The rabbit's heart nearly stopped to hear the tall alpha call him 'little bunny' again. Truthfully, he liked it, a lot. "I just, uh - I just wanted to thank you."

"No need to thank me. I'm a prince, I strive to save my people when in need." Izuku nodded. It did pain him to think that maybe this handsome and kind prince was only acting like this because he saw the rabbit as another one of his subjects. That was put to an end as the blonde smiled down at him. "And, I'll never let something happen to you Izuku. Not ever."

The rabbit could only nod again. His entire body felt like it was burning as the prince, his childhood friend, an alpha, said those words to him. He was clueless as to why or what the alpha was doing to him was on purpose, but he wasn't going to complain and let it end.

A/N:
My little bunny, my little bunny!
Friendship is magic!

Chapter Text

Over dinner the night before, Izuku told the king and queen what had happened. He tried his best to remember the horrible things the man admitted to, what he was planning, and everything else. They watched and listened to him very carefully, soaking up every word. Katsuki also had notes to add, seemingly to have gotten his information from the man as well during their fight. The rabbit had been trapped up so high in the tree that the yelling from below was too far to make out a word between the stranger and prince. Emerald eyes did notice the blonde's knuckles being bruised while they ate. It made him feel bad to know those were his fault, his own doing in a way.

If he had just listened to his gut, they wouldn't be in this mess. If he had remembered his dagger that morning, then there would have been no reason for the prince to have had to save him like some useless damsel in distress.

Despite his feelings about the issue, it happened. The only good to come out of it was the king immediately sent word for the guards at the harbor to check barrels, quick boats, and inspect paperwork in hopes of finding these men he worked with or others like him. They'd hear back soon if anything or anyone had been found. Word was sent out for the other kingdoms to do the same if they had ocean access. Izuku hoped it had done something. Maybe save someone, maybe find missing people, maybe put an end to this, at least for a while. Although these bad men would always appear. If they took out the men involved here, someone else would get involved somehow.

Another good thing to come from this was the queen had asked, or more so told, the prince he needed to train the rabbit. Izuku had mentioned not knowing how to fight or use a weapon well during their meal so it was decided that after his work day, the greenette would start coming to the castle daily for training sessions with none other than the handsome blonde alpha himself. Izuku was more than excited about it. It meant more time with him while also learning something new.

He was more than eager to see him every day.

Yes, he looked forward to the deliveries he made, an excuse to see those crimson eyes, but now he had an invitation to do so. By his mother no less!Of course, because of his excitement, the day seemed to be dragging on longer than normal. As soon as his last stop was made, he all but ran to the castle. There was a quick exchange and hellos and some snacks given to the guards before he quickened his pace inside the lunge room with the prince and three nobles.

"Mido!" Kirishima shouted. All eyes were on him now as they welcomed him inside.

"Hi, guys!" He moved to the table to wave and see their faces. The prince looked more than overjoyed he had arrived.

"Do you have anything for us today?" Denki asked, always hoping it was food.

"I'm actually here for a training session," Izuku admitted, his eyes darting to the smirking alpha across the room.

"You're gonna teach him how to fight?" Sero asked but his voice seemed to have a tease to it. Crimson eyes narrowed at him for this. "I mean that's good, that's good man. Glad to see you rubbing your skills off on someone else instead of using it to beat them up."

"Come on, Deku. Let's get started." Katsuki grunted, eyeing Sero as he charged out of the room.

"See you all later!" Izuku gave a nice and friendly wave to them before quickly following the blonde outside.

There was a grand barracks of sorts to the side of the grand castle. The real one was just outside the gates, but this must have been one specifically used by the royals and other special knights. It was the same one the rabbit had seen Shoto and Katsuki sparing in front of one day. Inside it was empty, not a single person. The door opened into a sparing mat in the middle, a walkway circling them from above where instructors would usually stand to observe their students. There were a few weapons along the wall. All of them had a different use and skill to go with it.

"Today, I'll go over the basics," Katsuki said, startling the rabbit out of his admiration for the place. When emerald eyes looked over, the blonde had removed his cape so he was completely shirtless. It caused a light pink across freckled cheeks that Katsuki loved to see. "Take your vest off and we'll stretch first."

The rabbit followed his lead, watching and copying what he did as the blonde explained what the stretches were doing. Soon enough they were standing face to face in the center of the mat, fist up.

"Like this?" Izuku asked, looking at his own hand.

"Not quite." The prince moved closer to him, taking his hand in his. Izuku's breath caught in his throat from the touch. He didn't dare take his eyes from their hands as the blonde held his wrist and moved his fingers for him. It was a lesson, nothing intimate, but the rabbit bathed in the moment. "Don't tuck your thumb or you'll break it if you hit anything hard enough. Instead, you want to point your fingers back to your wrist and wrap your thumb on top. Like this."

Izuku ignored the heat in his face and ears as he took in how his fist needed to look. "Oh."

"Good, now punch my hand." Katsuki held his hand up, palm facing the rabbit who hesitated. "Come on, I promise you I won't break."

Izuku rolled his eyes at the cocky prince before planting a hit. Katsuki glanced between his hand and the greenette. "What?"

"I told you to punch my hand, not give it a fist bump. You can do better than that." The blonde teased, causing the rabbit to narrow his eyes and throw a stronger punch. "Better, but you can improve. Here, widen your stance and move your leg back. Use your whole body to lean in and punch."

Again the prince freely moved around the rabbit, placing his hands on his calves to adjust his stance. Izuku was a statue, allowing his artist to sculpt and change how he looked. "Like this?"

"Yes, now try again." Katsuki raised his palm and from this hit, it felt much more powerful. "Yes! You're getting better omega."

The greenette beamed with pride, loving to hear the prince praise.

They practiced punching, how to stand, use both hands, and more for a while. Izuku eventually removed his shirt and tight collar too from the heat and sweat of this workout. He thought he heard the blonde say something when he did but turned to see him walking away.

Soon they moved on to kicking. "How you kick, what part of your leg you use, and where you kick someone all matter when you're trying to get away from your attacker."

Izuku listened carefully. Both of them knew as a rabbit his legs would be his greatest weapon. They were stronger than most, he was small enough that people wouldn't expect it from him, and looking back on his last two attacks, kicking would have helped him greatly.

Katsuki brought out a padded dummy to practice on as he stood behind the greenette to tell him what to do. Izuku allowed the handsy prince to move his legs again, teaching him how to stand. He also allowed him to poke and squeeze parts of his legs that he wanted him to focus on. First, he wanted him to pay attention to landing a kick on the dummy using the middle of his shin, pausing to feel what it should feel and look like to land a good blow. Then focus on his thigh, what muscle should be straining to use the most power behind. A large hand then gripped his hip so he'd pay attention to its rotation.

Every time he touched Izuku, his body would feel so much hotter and even, good. The touches remained all over him even though the prince was nowhere near him. When the deep voice would come close to his ear to talk out a movement or tell him what to do, his body with calm at the sound. Something about this alpha was making him swoon and Izuku was on the fence on how to feel about it. There was no use hiding the fact he had a small crush on Katsuki, that was clear to anyone, especially Uraraka apparently. But, Katsuki was his childhood friend, a prince, a dragon, an alpha, and so unbelievably handsome. Was it okay for him to feel this way about the blonde? Even if he was interested and wanted to do something, he'd never stand a chance against the hundreds of others who wanted the prince either. So many better choices for him.

"Oi, I'm waiting. You gonna kick the thing or not?" The same deep voice he loved made him jump slightly.

"Sorry Kacchan, I was just thinking about what you said. " He kicked the dummy hard, a grunt leaving his lips as he did so. "Was that better?"

"Much better." Large and warm hands planted themselves on his upper arms. He was turned around and placed in the center of the room. Katsuki smiled at the rabbit, putting his hands up and getting into a ready stance. "Alright little bunny, let's see if you're paying attention. Try to hit me."

"What? Kacchan you just showed me how to fight, I don't want to hurt you."

The prince only laughed, holding his stomach even to make it more dramatic. Izuku only narrowed his eyes. "I promise you Deku, you won't hurt me. Hell, I don't even think you'd be able to land one blow on me."

He knew just how to work the rabbit. Right away Izuku got into his stance and tried to punch him but it was blocked. He tried a kick, and block. A kick then a punch from his non-dominate hand, block.

Izuku was never one to turn away from a challenge, and Katsuki knew it.

They sparred hand to hand. The rabbit quickened his movements and tried to outsmart him or trick him but he was blocked every time. It wasn't a surprise. Katsuki was the best fighter of them all. He had been training since day one to be the big powerful alpha he is today, and it showed. His muscles moved and flexed with every move he made. It was like feeling a small poke on his body when he blocked a hit from Izuku. It was fun and felt like old times.

Quickly, their sparing session of punching and kicking turned into a free-for-all as Izuku got fed up and tackled the blonde. Finding it funny, Katsuki let himself fall over and allowed the rabbit to pin him to the ground. They rolled around and like when they were kids, tried to pin the other. Being adults now, nothing had changed. Katsuki found the attempts cute before moving himself to the top, and Izuku refused to admit defeat as he maneuvered his way back. But, just like always, the alpha was bigger and stronger. He managed to pin Izuku's wrist above his head with a thud and cocky smile.

"Got you, Deku." He panted out.The rabbit was out of breath and truthfully exhausted. The omega held out longer than most but still, it was nothing compared to the endurance and willpower of the strong alpha on top of him. He looked up at bright crimson eyes, a wide and happy smile. His arms were flexed to keep the rabbit in place and his midsection moving up and down as he took in deep breaths. It was quite the scene in front of him that he admired while he could.

Soon, the victory smile widened, only for it to wipe away as the prince moved off him fairly quickly. "What's wrong?"

The prince held his nose. He didn't want to admit it out loud. Not only would it embarrass the hell out of the omega to tell him he was producing arousal pheromones but it may cause him to end this too short when they just got started. Katsuki held his face, hiding the red from knowing he had done something the rabbit liked, but also tried to block it out as he opened the door and stood just outside.

"Um, your scent just got extremely intense all of a sudden. I guess sweating made it worse."

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Izuku scrambled to put his collar back on to cover his scent glands. "I didn't know."

"I know, it's okay. I didn't say it was bad, just caught me off guard."

"I'm sorry Kacchan. I wish I could control it." Izuku fell to his knees as he picked the collar up and placed it on his neck. He kept his hands placed on his neck, covering them completely.

The omega hated not knowing what he was doing. He hated not being able to smell others. It was hard enough to know he'd never be able to smell and enjoy things like everyone else but now, it was making the one person in his life who he cherished above all else rush out of the room from the horrible smell. He had overwhelmed him and had no idea how to stop it from happening again. Without knowing it, tears fell down the rabbit's cheeks.

Katsuki noticed the change and harsh distressed scent. He had made the rabbit cry against his best efforts.

"Hey, Izuku. I didn't say it was bad it was just a surprise. I don't mind really. Calm down, bunny." The prince moved to his knees next to Izuku. He tried to lean down and see his face but green curls blocked his view. "I guess not having a sense of smell bothers you more than you let on, huh?"

"Of course it does!" Izuku wipes his cheeks with the back of his hand while looking into crimson eyes. "I have no control over my scent of pheromones which is scary when so many people are searching for me to sell me. I also make others uncomfortable when I overpower them from not knowing. There are things I really miss too!"

"Like what?" He knew it wouldn't do much but maybe he could sense his calming pheromones. He pushed them out anyway, trying to make him feel better.

Emerald eyes peaked up at him over his knuckles. "What?"

"You said you miss things, like what?" Seeing it was a distraction, the alpha pressed on.

Izuku thought about it. He had just blurted it out but really, there were things he missed a lot."Like, uh, the grassy dew in the mornings. I remember loving to smell it when I'd wake up."

Katsuki smiled, liking that smell too. He remembers one time staying up late enough to catch lightning bugs with the greenette that it started to fall and he watched the rabbit pause to take it in. Izuku calmed down, thinking it over and grinning slightly.

"Fresh baked goods. Candies. The leather shop near my house. Flowers, I miss those a lot too." He tore his gaze from the prince, not able to look at him when he admitted this next part. "And your scent."

Katsuki was surprised, his jaw slightly dropping before he smiled wider than he had in a long time. "Really?"

"Yeah. I remember it being like a campfire. Smokey and earthy all at once. I also remember liking it." Izuku smiled. As a kid, he used to sit so close to the prince to smell his scent. It was his favorite, even more so than his mother's. Something about it always made the rabbit feel better instantly. "Sorry. I didn't mean to scent so much around you."

"Izuku, I already told you I didn't mind. I like your scent remember?" Izuku looked up, confirming the look on his face he was telling the truth. "Is that all?"

"There's a lot I miss. I just, ugh, I feel like I am missing out on so much. The little things like that, and even finding someone." Katsuki raised a brow. "Without having a sense of smell, it's very unlikely I'll be able to find a mate. I won't be able to smell them. Who would want a broken rabbit?"

"Someone will. Don't worry little bunny." There was that nickname again. Izuku didn't know why the prince kept calling him that but he refused to say anything about it in case it would make him stop.

Katsuki smiled, making Izuku follow his lead. Little did the broken rabbit know, he already captured the attention of an alpha who didn't care about his lack of sense of smell. The alpha planned to help him get it back. One day, soon.

A/N:
Jeez just kiss already.
- says the person not making them kiss yet 😈😈

Chapter Text

A couple of weeks had passed with daily training sessions between the two. Izuku had put on a bit of muscle and could handle his own more than before. One time when the nobles interrupted them, he managed to flip Sero over his shoulder. He had been the highlight of his and the prince's day. No one was more proud of the moment than the dragon prince himself. Katsuki toppled over laughing before putting the greenette on his shoulder to praise him, loving the smile on his face as he did so.

This also meant a couple of weeks had passed of Katsuki testing his patience more than ever before too. He noticed right away how the rabbit reacted to praise. He'd blush madly, his skin heating, and if he worded it just right, the greenette would even shudder at his words. He pretended not to notice of course, afraid it would make the rabbit run away from him. It was something the blonde strives to do every day though. He enjoyed playing this game with him, even if Izuku had no idea he was playing. Teasing him was fun, and so was training him, and it was paying off for them both. Yes, the alpha got to spend more time with him and make him blush, but the rabbit had his way of messing with the alpha's head without trying.

They were outside today, taking a short break from practicing their weapon management. Katsuki was sitting on the bench as Izuku sat on the table and leaned back to soak up the warm sun on his body. Both were shirtless as they usually are during this time. From here, Katsuki could take in the muscle build of the rabbit. His abs were defined, his chest slightly bulkier, and his arms thicker. As if he wasn't already good-looking before, the rabbit had managed to double his attractiveness.

"The breeze feels nice."

"Y-yeah." The blonde stuttered.

Crimson eyes couldn't tear themselves away from the beautiful creature next to him. Izuku leaned over, grabbed a canteen, and took a long drink. His throat and chest moved with him. A line of water leaked from his mouth, rolling down the side of his cheek, his neck, his chest even. Katsuki watched the droplet roll down his body as he abused his bottom lip. The heat in his face was hard to ignore as his mind wandered to think of naughty images playing uncontrollably through his mind.

He shook his head, staring down at the ground as he forced his mind away from it and tried to get himself under control before he had a problem.

"Kacchan? Are you okay?"

The prince looked up, forcing a smile as he leaned back to pick up a box. "I'm fine. I did find these oils lying around and wondered if maybe you'd like them or have a use for them?"

Every day he had a gift for Izuku since he knew he'd start seeing him so often with training. He had spicy curry and rice for lunch, made spicy noodles, and had a bunch of different arrangements of flowers come for his mother, hoping to overwhelm him with floral scents. Each day the rabbit would admire what the arrangements smelled like or the flavor (even though he lied as the prince knows he cannot handle his spice well), instead of reacting to the smell. It was aggravating when something of his didn't work or he'd have to come up with something new. The aggravation was never pointed at the rabbit though.

His heart went out to Izuku. The poor omega had no idea what the alpha was doing for him or attempting to do but every time it didn't work, Katsuki would feel worse and worse about not having a cure.

"These look brand new from the market. Are you sure they are just overstock I could have?"

"Yes, I promise. Take them. Do you use any of them?"

Izuku pursed his pink lips while looking through the small box. There was a mini vile of peppermint, citrus, thieves, and maybe others. He did use them in his gardens or for their intended purpose of use on the body like a headache or sorts. There are a few he doesn't normally use or bother with because it requires you to smell it for it to work.

"I do." He nodded, flashing the prince a loving smile. "Thank you, Kacchan."

Katsuki smiled back. The little rabbit had no idea the effect he had on the prince. Those eyes, his smile, his body, even his mumbling when deep in thought, all of it was enough to catch the alpha in shock and fall for him deeper. The way he brings a present and makes an effort to say hello to the guards out front is unlike anyone else he knew.

"Now, back to training." Again the prince cleared his throat, trying to recover from staring too long at those emerald eyes. "You're a fast learner, but we've only scraped the surface of what I can teach you." The dragon flipped his sword in his hand. "Show me what you got, Deku."

Katsuki smirked, picking up a sword again and tossing another one to the rabbit. Izuku had picked up on the stance and learned to hold the blade properly. The alpha taught him where to strike and how to block.

They began sparing. The prince took it slow, allowing the rabbit to gain confidence in what he was doing. Izuku smiled as he fought, loving this and secretly getting a kick out of the prince showing off his skills. Watching the prince move and teach him all he has to know was exceptionally entertaining. He loved seeing the proud look on the alpha's face when Izuku managed to learn a new skill correctly. Once he had landed a punch in his mouth the prince only beamed and shouted at him to try and do it again.

Katsuki watched with a smile as Izuku dodged and moved in all the right ways. He was impressed by how well he was doing for only sparing today. The omega grinned, as he was having his fun with the the shirtless and sweating prince.

The alpha stepped into him. He blocked a move from the rabbit and lifted his elbow to try to knock him in the chest and pin him, but instead, it connected with his freckled face. "Ah!"

Izuku fell to his knee, clutching his nose as it bled. "Fuck, Izuku. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for that to happen, let me see."

It took a few sobs and easy breaths before the rabbit could look up at him. His nose had a steady drip of bleeding from each nostril but it wasn't broken, thankfully. That didn't stop the alpha from feeling so much worse at the sight of him crying and bleeding from the pain he had caused the rabbit. Here he was, training him to protect himself and keep from getting hurt, and it was his stupid cocky move that causes pain.

The alpha grabbed a discarded shirt and gave it to the rabbit. He wiped the blood away and waited for it to stop. "I think I'm okay now."

He slowly pulled the deep red shirt from his face and used a sleeve to wipe his nose and face. "Izuku, I'm so sorry. I-"

"I know Kacchan. I'm not upset. It was obviously an accident." The rabbit breathed through his mouth, looking up at the prince so he could see it truly didn't bother him. As soon as it happened, the blonde had stopped everything to check on him instead of overpowering him and pinning him as was his plan. It would have been a sweet moment if he hadn't bled over the nice material the queen bought for him to wear during one of his stays here. "I ruined my shirt."

"I don't give a fuck about the shirt, I'll buy you a dozen more. Are you okay?" He moved Izuku so he sat on the bench instead of the ground, the blonde crouched in front of him to see his face. Katsuki tore the unused sleeve off the shirt and poured water over it, using it to wipe away the access blood on his freckled face as he held the rabbit's chin carefully. Izuku leaned into the touch. He slightly smiled at the pampering and cool feeling of the rag.

"I'm fine Kacchan. Really. No need to worry."

He did worry, there was nothing but worry and fear in the alpha's body. Would Izuku hate him for this, was he lying and actually in pain? Why had he been so stupid? "Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yes, really."

Izuku smiled now, showing he was much better. The prince sighed, sitting next to him. "I am sorry Izuku."

"There is nothing to be sorry about. I know you-" The wind blew in the direction the prince sat, and the rabbit's eyes widened.

Izuku stopped talking. He suddenly got a whiff of something. For the first time in years, he could have sworn he smelled something. It was odd, and yet possibly familiar. It had a smoky smell.

"What's wrong?"

"I think - I think I smell something?" The prince lifted his head, moving to face his body towards the rabbit. Of all the things the prince had given him to get his sense of smell back, all it took was the alpha hitting him in the nose to do the trick.

Typical.

"Really? Like what?"

"I don't know, this thing hasn't worked for me in a while." He took a deep breath. "It smells like, something on fire, but also dirt?"

"Huh, try smelling one of these." Katsuki grabbed a random vile of the oils behind them, holding it up to his face.

Izuku took a whiff, his emerald eyes widening and his smile the biggest it had been in a long time. "Peppermint."

"That's right!" Katsuki put a hand on the rabbit's shoulder. "Izuku, you can smell again."

Without thinking and going solely based on how happy he felt in the moment, Izuku flung himself at the prince, who luckily caught him. Izuku's body lay across the blonde's lap who happily held him in place, wrapping strong arms around him. The rabbit's nose buried itself into the alpha's neck. Their happy moment ended too quickly as he stood up holding his nose. His head spun in place. "That scent from earlier, it's you."

"Is that a good thing?"

"I like it but, it's a lot, right, now." His words slowed as his vision darkened. "It's a little overwhelming and makes my head spin. I-I can't it might be a little. . .much for-"

Izuku didn't finish what he was going to say as the alpha's scent overtook him. His eyes fluttered closed as his body went limp. Katsuki was just barely fast enough to catch him before he fell to the ground.

"It's okay, I got you little bunny." The blonde scooped up his legs and brought him inside. Some maids were cleaning around the front room as he came in. "Can someone please prepare the guest room? He isn't feeling well."

"Should I call a doctor?"

"Let him rest first. We'll call one when he wakes up." They nodded and followed him to the room where he carefully placed the rabbit on the bed as maids cleaned and moved in supplies for a guest to use.

Soon, his mother stepped in and saw Izuku passed out in bed. "What happened?"

"I accidentally elbowed him in the nose and - ow!"

"You hurt him?" She belted out.

"No! He got a nosebleed but was fine. I made sure to check on him right away and even cleaned him up."

"So what happened?"

Crimson eyes looked down the peacefully sleeping rabbit he craved to see and touch so badly. "He got his scent back."

A/N:
All those damn gifts and all he needed to do was get sucker punched, I'd be pissed LOL

Chapter Text

There was a heavy scent in the air before the rabbit even had time to open his eyes. Whatever it was filled his nose, making the omega take a deep breath of it without realizing it. The scent was heavenly and he wanted to bathe in it. As he peeked his eyes open, it became clear it was the linens he was lying on. They had a floral smell mixed into them from the soap that had been used to clean it. Izuku sat up, tears in his eyes as he pulled the blanket up to his nose.

For the first time since he was eight years old, he could smell again. Sixteen years without the sense at all and now he was taking it all in. The strong campfire and earth tone lingered in the air from the prince. It was slightly embarrassing to have passed out in front of him, a second time now he had to be carried in unconsciously by the alpha from his recklessness. The fight where he lost a dagger and now from being overwhelmed by an alpha's scent. As he checked to make sure he truly was alone in this room, he allowed himself to take another deep in, basking in the blonde's scent while he could.

He grinned widely at the feelings that came with it. Memories he had long forgotten about due to his trauma now resurfacing in his head. He had a fond glimpse of the time he was hiding under the prince's bed so he could stay later when their mothers came to find them. Another of building a fort using the blonde's linens that smelled like him. There was a time when they rolled in the fields, play fighting before they had discussed the other's scent. It was then he learned he had a mint-like scent. The prince had been told he smelled like fire all his life and the look on his face when the rabbit, his longest friend, told him in particular it was a campfire, it had made him smile. There was a flame, smokey smell to the alpha, but earth-like burning something heavy with sap.

As he sat in the middle of the large bed with the linen still to his nostrils, the door opened to reveal the blonde he had just been thinking about. Crimson eyes spotted him as he cried. Katsuki rushed to sit on the edge of the bed. He thought maybe the omega was hurting again.

"Izuku, what's wrong?"

The rabbit shook his head, smiling as tears rolled down his face. "Nothing. Nothing at all."

The prince raised a concerned brow. "Uh, you're crying right now."

"Because I can smell again! It wasn't a dream after all." Izuku let out a happy sob, bringing the blanket to his nose once more, and closing his eyes as he took it in. "This is so great."

Katsuki smiled, his shoulders relaxing to know there was no real issue as he had assumed. "I'm glad. If I had known that was all you needed to get your sense of smell back, I would have done that months ago."

They shared a small laugh. With the alpha being so close to him now, his scent become stronger. As much as the greenette missed it and enjoyed it, it had made him dizzy all over again. He put a hand to his nose, using the blanket as a mask as he was trying to relax. "This is great news, and I am happy but-"

Katsuki waited but there was no answer. "But what?"

"But now I have to learn how to control my scent and be around others all over again." Izuku sighed, knowing that was going to be a long process. "As much as I am going to have to focus on that, I am glad to have it back."

"Sorry again. For hitting you and overwhelming you as soon as you get your sense back."

"It's okay, Kacchan. Really." He put a hand over the alpha's on the bed in a comforting way. "Honestly, if I had known this was what I needed too, I would have let you do that months ago too."

Another small laugh before the doors opened again. This time, Mitsuki entered the room quickly. She clapped her hands together as she joined the rabbit on the other side of the bed from her son. Katsuki rolled his eyes. He knew his mother loved the omega as if he were her own, but this was getting all too frequent. The prince hoped and prayed that if they did start courting and even after they were mated, his mother wouldn't interrupt them nearly as often as she does now.

"Izuku! I hear you have your sense of smell back, is that correct?" The small dimple on the freckled cheek revealed itself as he grinned wider. "Oh, yay!"

"I know, I can't believe it."

She hugged the rabbit, pulling him into her chest as she always did. When they pulled away, she cupped the rabbit's sweet face, pushing a hair behind his ear as she enjoyed the moment with him. Suddenly she turned to her son, smacking his shoulder with a deep whack a couple of times. "You just had to hit him, didn't you!"

"It was an accident! You seriously think I'd elbow his face on purpose?" Katsuki shouted back.

"You hit him with your elbow?" Another couple of whacks.

Izuku giggled, sort of missing seeing this. Growing up, he had always been fearful that Mitsuki would give him a good whacking too when he and the dragon broke something, but she never did. When he asked his mother why the queen hit her son and she didn't, his sweet mother only snickered.

'Dragons are just different, Izuku. They are bigger and tougher than us rabbits which means they usually need tougher lessons and forms of punishment as well. Make sense?'

His mother's angelic voice told her in her head as he watched them continue to bicker back and forth. He and Inko never got into it like they did, but they both enjoyed the entertainment when it happened.

The queen sighed at her son before turning to the greenette. "Well, anyway. How are you feeling?"

"I think I'm okay." That was all he managed to say but there was no confidence in his voice.

"Uh-huh. Is that why you're covering your nose right now?"

Izuku pouted as he had been caught. His doe eyes turned to glance at the prince who got the hint. His scent was still a little too much for him. While pressing his lips together to keep from scowling, the dragon got up from his spot and moved to the far corner of the bed instead. It was far enough away for the omega to relax better, but close enough to still smell him.

"Sorry, Kacchan. I'll learn to be able to handle it."

"Yes you will, and you'll do it here." The queen stated, getting both boys' attention. "I'll send word to your employer that you are taking time off for medical reasons an order from the queen, and I'll have a doctor who specializes in this come see you. She worked with Katsuki when he was a brat and learning to control his alpha pheromones which were all over the place when he went through puberty. I couldn't walk into a room he had been in without feeling the effect of him."

"Hag."

"Brat."

"I can't ask you to do something like that. I can figure-"

"You aren't asking. I am telling you what's going to happen." She smirked. "I am the queen so you have to listen to me, that and, well your mother gave me permission to care for you as well a long time ago." Again the queen cupped the rabbit's adorable freckled face. She looked into the same eyes of her friend who she missed dearly. "Consider yourself being taken care of. No ifs, ands, or buts about it young man."

"Yes, Auntie." Izuku smiled sweetly as Mitsuki got up to walk out of the room.

"Better enjoy the treatment. She wouldn't do something like this for me."

"Not when you go around elbowing sweet little rabbits in the nose!" Another round of whacks as the prince lifted his arm in protest. When she was done and the blonde rolled his eyes, she smoothed out her dress. "Go home if you think you need to grab a few things and come back here by dinner. I'll send letters out and make sure that the doctor is here in the morning to talk to you."

She gave a small wave before closing the door behind her. Alone with the other again, the prince looked up at Izuku. They smiled at one another, finding the woman a little amusing.

*******

As they walked through the kingdom to his home, Izuku rushed from vendor to vendor to take in the new smells he was experiencing. The way food smelled, the spices, perfumes, leather, and everything in between. He was lucky to have tightened his collar, unsure if he was producing too many happy pheromones or not.

He felt bad for making the prince and the accompanying couple of guards drag their feet to wait for him but they didn't mind. In reality, it was amusing to watch him bounce around from one place to another. Every little thing was just as exciting as the last if not more. The way his grin was never faulting other than when his jaw dropped at something had the prince holding in a grin of his own. He may be enjoying himself, but he still had a heavy reputation for being a stone-cold and emotionless prince. It worked in his favor so far so, he wanted to keep that going as long as he could.

Eventually, they did reach the rabbit's small home. "I just want to grab a few clothes and notebooks to take notes from the doctor tomorrow. Hopefully, she can help me. I was pretty young when I lost my sense of smell so I didn't have very much practice from before."

He shrugged, walking up his small path to his front door. Katsuki nodded with pursed lips. "I think you're selling yourself short. You are capable of doing a lot more than you think. I mean, we grew up together and my scent never bothered you that much."

"As kids yeah, but your scent is stronger now, plus your added pheromones," Izuku stated. The prince nodded in agreement. Pheromones usually don't appear until puberty and by then, the two of them had already been apart long enough to forget the other existed.

As they entered the home, Izuku walked around. His nose went to work, taking in all things scattered around his home. The food in his home, the welting flowers on the table, his furniture, and as he went to walk into his bedroom, he stopped. His little nose wrinkled, unfamiliar with what he was smelling.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't recognize that smell."

The prince stepped closer, worried it meant someone might have been in there. He took a deep breath, filling his lungs with minty goodness. He hummed at it without thinking. Seeing the rabbit confused by his reaction he hummed again but in a 'figured it out' way instead of enjoyment.

"You don't recognize yourself?"

"That's my scent?" Emerald eyes widened. He rarely used mint but now that the alpha pointed it out to himself, he did have a very overbearing mint scent.

Katsuki smirked while nodding. "For as long as I've known you."

"Oh." Izuku nodded. He was hoping he would have gotten a better scent. Being close to his bedroom, not even in it yet, the smell was strong. He was certain the smell was too strong for someone else to enjoy. It nearly burned his nostrils to take it in, like clearing his senses.

"Why so down, little bunny?" Katsuki tilted his head, trying to meet the rabbit's eyes.

"N-nothing, I just,"

"You don't like your own scent?" The prince filled in the gaps. Shamefully, the omega nodded. A scarred hand rubbed his arm as he did when he was anxious. Seeing his reaction, the dragon huffed. "Well, I happen to like your scent. In fact, it's my favorite one yet."

"You're just saying that." Izuku pouted, knowing the prince liked to cheer him up.

"And have I ever lied to you?" Ready to say something, the omega's mouth hung open. No, he hadn't. Even as kids, even if it might have hurt someone's feelings, the alpha prided himself on being as truthful as possible. Remembering this, the rabbit's freckled cheeks heated to a bright red. The prince only smirked more. "Grab your things, Deku. My mother is waiting."

"R-right."

Izuku turned as if someone else was controlling him now. He mindlessly picked through clothes and put them in a bag. With the alpha out of his room, he smiled wider, covering his face from the embarrassment of loving to know he carried the alpha's favorite scent. Rabbits can be lucky.

Chapter Text

Izuku had stayed at the caste as the queen had requested. When he admitted to getting used to the alpha's scent to stand next to him, he returned home. He wore a mask most of the time as he took it all in, small doses at a time. He also continued to wear his collar as he retaught himself how to control his scents. He practiced pushing it out, keeping it in, and what the smell was.He was doing better after getting a handful of lessons from the doctor Mitsuki brought in, but that didn't mean the prince was still sad to see him leave his side so quickly. He enjoyed it when the rabbit stayed in their guest room. Knowing he was close and could see him often was something the blonde was getting used to, just for it to end in a few short days.

The overwhelming feeling of missing him and wanting to check on him finally got to him when he woke up this morning. He grabbed Kirishima and Denki, forcing them to follow him as he rode with them through the kingdom. He was on a mission to gather as many things as possible for the rabbit to smell and experience again. He got him freshly baked bread, cinnamon rolls, flowers, a new leather satchel, cotton clothing, cheeses, wines, and so much more. Their bags were all full as they happily returned to the castle.

Kirishima noticed the smile on his friend's face, nudging the beta and having him take a look as well. They both snickered quietly as they moved to ride next to the prince who leaned down at one of the guards walking with them. "Fetch Deku, tell him to come to the castle and find me."

"Yes, sir."

"You know, we haven't seen Mido in a while. I am looking forward to seeing him." Kirishima noted. The Alpha wasn't dumb, he knew there was a reason he was saying this all of a sudden. They knew what they were out doing, they knew who these gifts were for.

"Yeah, right? I mean, I miss his cute little face." Denki added.

"Cute indeed. He's a pretty little omega."

"Watch it, fucking morons," Katsuki growled out, a warning to his so-called friends.

"Hey, we are just stating the obvious here. He's good-looking for sure. That night we were drinking in a pub, he was approached a few times by others to share a dance or join our fun. He turned it down or we turned it down for him." The fellow alpha was stretching the truth a little.

Someone had asked for a dance, but it was an older little lady who just wanted a young man to dance with her. Someone also asked to join their game but it was as if they were leaving to take a very drunk Denki home. But Katsuki didn't know that. Instead, the prince thought it over.

"Oh, and he's an omega. A lot of people out there are looking for an omega. Isn't a male omega sort of rare too?" Denki asked, very well knowing the answer already.

"They are. More so since he's a cute, unmated, omega, rabbit." Kirishima stated each fact a little louder.

Katsuki waved his hand at them. "I see what you two are fucking doing."

"We are just trying to point out the facts here man. You're the one taking the time to skip out on your prince duties for the second time in your entire life, just to buy him gifts since getting his smell back. Which is nice of you by the way." The redhead smirked.

"Yeah, and refresh my memory Kiri but, what was the reason for him skipping his duties before too?"

"Hmm, you know Denks, I think it was also for Mido."

"You two are fucking exhausting."

They both laughed and lingered back, letting the prince think about what they just told him. The freckled rabbit was the most beautiful person he had ever seen, it was hard not to notice the looks the greenette gets when he was walking around. Izuku was also an unmated omega, which meant betas and alphas alike would be searching for a scent like his. Since he wore a collar, it was unknown for anyone to tell if he didn't have a mark yet, putting a big flag on his back for others to see he was possibly available for the taking. He had been attacked twice in just a few short months since coming back into the prince's life. It was no secret people wanted him for more than just a potential mate.

As they entered the castle, the three of them poured out their bags onto the table in the lounge room where Sero was waiting for them. "The one day I get here late and you all go off on a road trip?"

"We were getting things for Mido who got his sense of smell back," The other beta told him, wiggling his brows at him and then nodding to the prince. Right away Sero got the hint as he let out a small chuckle.

"What's so fucking funny?" The prince raised a brow.

"Nothing man. These all look great."

Some muffled conversation reveals the king and queen as they walk into the lounge room as well. Katsuki rolls his eyes, only imagining what they might say about this too. They look at the spread on the table, then how none of the usual munching boys are not diving into it. The queen scuffs, "Do I need to call a doctor and figure out what's going on here? There's food on the table and not a single one of you is eating it."

"It's not for us." Sero nearly laughs out.

The queen is only confused by this as she looks at her son. "Since Deku had his sense of smell back, I got him some of the stuff he mentioned missing."

Suddenly it became very clear what was happening as 'some things' he had gotten, nearly filled the large table. The queen only smiled to herself, never thinking she'd see the day her son had a crush. She pressed her lips together to not smile. So badly she wished her friend was her to see their predictions about their sons were being proven true. Mitsuki's only regret was not being able to gossip about it to Inko.

"Well, you certainly are a gentleman. Look honey, isn't he the best prince there is." The king hugged his son's shoulders which were nearly wider than his and taller by a couple of inches.

Red eyes looked at her husband who only gave her a bright smile. He was clueless as to why her son had gathered these things for the rabbit. The queen nearly snickered as she agreed. "Yes, he is a very wonderful and caring prince."

"Very well, I have something I was on my way to do. Very proud of you my son." The king mentioned as he smiled and waved to the nobles he knew well. They bowed to him and went back to inspecting what the prince had bought the rabbit.

The queen, who could tell the friends were on the same page as her moved closer to the table as well. "I don't think I ever got such a variety of courting gifts when your father and I were younger."

The nobles snickered, not daring to meet the alpha's eyes, knowing he'd only glare at them. "They aren't courting gifts!"

His mother only chuckled to herself, moving to pat her son's cheek. "Could have fooled me."

There was a small knock on the door getting everyone's attention. Seeing everyone in the small room Izuku pauses to enter. Instead of the prince greeting him as usual, the queen rushed to hug him. Her scent of a summer breeze was wonderful to smell again. "Izuku, how have you been? I haven't seen you in a few days."

"I have been great. I am getting a better at controlling my scent and handling others." He stated proudly, enjoying the happy grin on the queen's face, like a proud mother.

"Glad to hear it." She patted his shoulders and led him further into the room.

"Hi, Kacchan. They said you needed me?"

"Not for anything to deliver." He smiled, forgetting there were others in the room for a moment. "I know you just got your scent back so, I went out and found you things you mentioned before that you were missing."

He gestured to the table. Emerald eyes widened as he grinned from ear to ear. "This, all of this is for me? Kacchan I can't-"

"Yes it is, and you will." He cut him off, knowing he'd only protest.

Izuku nearly jumped in the air as he moved to the table's edge. He looked at the huge spread of things in front of him. Small hands picked up a loaf of bread and pulled a piece off, inhaling the smell. He hummed into it. Suddenly, green rabbit ears and a bushy tail sprouted from his body as he was so happy and overly excited about what was in front of him, his hybrid took over.

"Aw, Mido, those are so cool," Kirishima said aloud but Izuku didn't know what he meant. "Can I feel them?"

He looked up in the direction everyone was looking and pulled his ears down, his face a deep red. "I - I - I didn't know, uh, sorry."

Denki was less formal, reaching a hand out to pet an ear. "Whoa, it's like satin."

"Don't fucking pet him." Katsuki slapped his hand away. Embarrassingly, he moved the rabbit's hands away from his face. "I wear my horns out all the time, there's no need to be embarrassed."

"Horns are a lot more intimidating than long floppy ears and a tiny tail."

"They're precious, Izuku." The queen patted his shoulders, kissing his temple before leaving the room as well, but not before winking at her son.

The rabbit dug in, allowing his gift to be shared by the others as well. They ate and drank sweet wines Katsuki had found for him. As he leaned over the table, crimson eyes took in his slim waist, his soft tail peeking out from his pants, and his sleeves were rolled up to reveal scars that the prince thought made him even more attractive. His shining emerald eyes and tall ears only made him smile as his gift caused him to feel so strongly about it, his hybrid appeared.

They all chatted and drank until the sun started to go down. "How am I supposed to get this home?"

"Don't worry. I'll have it delivered by some guards tomorrow in a few crates." Katsuki smiled. As the rabbit said his goodbyes and waved at the three in the room, he smiled down at his new satchel. Katsuki walked him out but not before grabbing a blanket from nearby, scenting it before revealing it to the rabbit. "Here, wear this over your head and back to hide your hybrid. I'd hate someone to see them and feel the need to touch you without asking like some idiots."

Izuku took the blanket, wrapping it around like he said. "Thank you Kacchan."

"Did you like the gifts? I know we talked before about some things you wish you could smell again."

"Yes, I did! It was wonderful Kacchan. Thanks so much. Sorry that my ears sprouted."

"Don't be. Your cute little ears and tail tell me you truly enjoyed what I had to offer."

Izuku paused hearing that. The prince had called him cute. His cheeks heated as he replayed it in his head. Something about the blonde in front of him had changed and it was beginning to show through. Whatever it was, Izuku loved seeing this side of the prince.A small hand held the blanket to his nose. "Mmm, this smells good too."

That only made Katsuki smile more, knowing he was complimenting his scent. "I'm glad you think so."

"I do." Izuku looked at the prince, noticing a small hue of pink on his cheeks. As if everything else hadn't been perfect, he managed to make the handsome alpha blush.

Chapter Text

Katsuki had ignored his prince duties long enough as he took so much time out of his day to search for more things to gift the rabbit or train him. Instead, when Izuku arrived at the castle gates for a training session, the mentor Aizawa had been the one at the small barracks instead of the blonde. He was sitting against the wall, a cat in his lap who he smiled at as the small orange feline purred to him. The omega felt almost bad to interrupt them.

"Hello."

The man looks up at him with a monotone face. As he had assumed, the mentor was upset he had caused the petting session to end. "You must be the Izuku Midoriya."

"Yes sir."

The beta scuffed before standing up and motioning for the rabbit to follow. "Pretty boy is busy with a meeting so I'll be working with you instead."

"Oh, okay. I am honored to be taught by you. Kacchan says a lot of great things about you."

Aizawa turned to look at the boy again. Damn was he cheerful. Of course, the queen had already caught him up on the details that involved Izuku. The fire he had lived through, the scars and loss of smell, the attacks he had been receiving as an unmated omega rabbit, and recently gaining his smell back. She also briefed him that he needed to be careful as it seemed the prince had his eye on the omega and had started courting him.

"Alright, we have only one thing to accomplish today." Aizawa stopped and put his hands in his pockets in the middle of the open grass near the wall. He pointed up to the top. "Jump up there."

Izuku stared up at the wall that had to be at least twenty feet tall. He gulped and looked back at the mentor who seemed to be waiting for him to magically be able to do so. "Uh, that is pretty high. Are you sure I'd be able to get up there?"

"Do you know anything about rabbits?" The beta asked, it was an actual question for him. He knew his mother passed when he was still young so, maybe he didn't have the time with her to be told the things he can and cannot do.

Izuku shifted his weight. "Not much."

"Hmm, that's a problem for later. For now, jump on top of the wall." The greenette lowered himself, moved his feet apart, and tried to jump as high as he could. He managed to jump around his height which was still impressive for the basic hybrid but for a rabbit, it was an underachievement. He looked to the beta. Dark eyes looked at the rabbit's feet and the top of the wall. "You're not where you're supposed to be. Try again."

The rabbit let out a huff as he indeed tried again. And again. And again.

He was improving each time but continued to fall short of the wall. After a few attempts, he kept getting only a foot or so away from reaching the top with his fingertips. He was panting and tired as he looked to the mentor for some advice. "I think that's as high as I can go."

"No, it isn't. Rabbits should be able to clear this wall, much less try to land on top of it. Maybe you just need some motivation." Aizawa had a good point.

He was getting tired and losing confidence to be able to do the task at hand. "Like what?"

"Hmm." Dark eyes looked around before reaching to grab something that appeared just in time. "How's this?"

Emerald eyes glanced over to see the older beta holding a snake that hissed at him. Izuku let out a shriek and jumped nearly over the wall but landed on top no less. From below he could hear the cackling of the mentor. "That was very rude!"

"But it worked. You're on the wall aren't you?" He was on the wall. He now felt a small bit of pride in being able to finally get up here. From here, Izuku could see a lot of the kingdom. It was nothing compared to the window that was in the lounge room of the prince, but it was breathtaking no less. "Now come on, let's solve your issue of not knowing much about your own hybrid."

Izuku jumped down, landing with a thud and straining his knees slightly. The two of them exchanged pleasantries as they walked inside the breathtaking library. The omega had been here countless times but to see it in his glory now was something different He was older, had a bigger appreciation for books, and the sun was shining in to make the place seem to glow. The gold decor, countless spines of the most out-of-reach books that seemed to stretch for miles. In each corner of the room was a grand spiral staircase as well as a large fireplace. They walked passed the huge window where it was mesmerizing to see the people below. He took it all in before running into the beta's back who had stopped in place.

Aizawa reached for a book that was high on a shelf. It was worn and looked like a personal journal. "This is a book from an unknown source. It holds lots of information about each hybrid. It's not in any alphabetical order as the writer wrote things down as he met each one but, rabbits are included in there somewhere. Take your time, we are done for the day."

"Thank you, Aizawa."

The older man waved him off as he placed his hands back into his pockets and walked away. Katsuki had been right to tell the omega that the mentor was a smart guy but weird. Keeps to himself most of the time but is someone you can count on.

Izuku pulled some blankets off the back of the couch and moved to a large chair near the window. He curled himself into the space as he opened the book. Inside there were drawings, scratched-in notes, and information about every hybrid Izuku had ever met or only heard of. Some were even rumored to have no longer been around. He wondered just how old this book was.

Excitement set his fingers into motion as he flipped through the pages until he landed on rabbits. One of the first things mentioned was how extremely fertile they were which made Izuku roll his eyes. If anything, that was the one thing he did know about rabbits. He read on though. Some things he already knew like the sense of hearing was heightened and their powerful legs. It talked of how they can focus all their energy on their leg muscles to be used at such times for extra strength, which would have been nice to know a few hours ago. There were also notes there that said a rabbit in heat will present themselves to any alpha around if they are unmated. When they are marked, they only crave the scent and smell of their mate. In some cases, if a mate has passed away, rabbits tend to pass away as well from lack of their presence, a broken heart in some cases.

This made Izuku hurt more for his mother. She had been marked and happy but his father left because of him as he didn't want to be a dad. His mother said he was for business but, they hardly ever bonded which led him to believe it was him instead. He wondered, if she hadn't had a pup to worry about raising, would she have survived without him?

The book also states a rabbit who is pregnant craves the scent of the pup's father or else they grow ill and the pregnancy may not continue. When a rabbit is in heat or pregnant, they must stay away from stress and be in a very calming environment. As parent rabbits are very protective of their pups and nurture their every need until they are old enough to present their secondary genders. In other words, the greenette who is already a pushover, would become more so when it came to his pups one day. Lovely.

There wasn't much on rabbits as they are a very easy hybrid to understand. Not much about them sticks out. Izuku went on. He read about wolves like Shoto and cats like Uraraka, but none of those caught his attention like a segment for dragons.

There were things he already knew from being around Katsuki and his family. They were temperamental and easy to upset. They had heightened senses, and more strength than most, and some (mostly alphas) had fire manipulation. It was something that came later on in life. Izuku felt a little thankful for that as deep down he knew Katsuki would have used that against him if he could as a kid. The greenette laughed to himself, being able to envision a smaller version of the prince using his fires to chase the omega or melt his ice cream faster as a joke.

The book also mentioned that they were a dominant breed. This meant they had this inner competition in their instincts to be the best in the room at all times. It was likely the reason the Bakugos were royals and the only other dragons the rabbit knew were highly respected nobles who were treated just as well.

The book went on to list more facts that Izuku didn't know. Dragons crave only one mate in their lifetime and when they mark them, the dragon is unable to be with or want anyone else. They become devoted to only their mate for the rest of their lives, even if their mate dies, the dragon cannot bring themselves to mark another. This was very caring and sentimental to the rabbit.

There was an entirely different page dedicated to dragon pups. It started with those who are expecting dragon pups often need additional warmth and spiced meals since, in the womb, that is what the pup is craving. He reads on to find that once pups are born, they will often protect their mothers and have a bond closer to them than their fathers. It's an instinct of theirs to want their mothers close by and safe. In some cases, protecting their mothers is a lifelong commitment. He sees it with Katsuki as she's the only one allowed to get away with most things.

One scribbled-in note on the page says that a dragon's body temperature is higher than most as well so when they court a potential mate, especially if they are not a dragon hybrid themselves, they usually gift items to keep them warm. Other times their gifts are those of protection or food. This captures the rabbit's attention right away. Memories of the gifts the prince had given to him started to play in his head. The dagger, the replacement dagger, teaching him to fight so he'll be safe, the countless snacks, meals, treats, the blanket. Did he lose his sense of smell just to realize he was blind this whole time too? Was the prince courting him?

It almost made the greenette think maybe it was true. The handsome, most wanted dragon prince was courting some commoner rabbit? It was ridiculous to even be considering this. His mind spiraled trying to make sense of it all but it only hurt to think about it.

"Deku!"

Izuku shouted as he jumped in his seat and clutched the blanket in his lap. He looked to see the blonde laughing, holding his gut even. "Very funny, Kacchan."

The prince wiped a tear from his eye as he sat next to the rabbit. He rested on the armchair, smirking at the flustered rabbit.

"I thought so too." He breathed out. Crimson eyes looked over at the book. "What are you reading?"

"Aizawa discovered I didn't know very much about being a rabbit so he brought me in here to read up on myself. A way of learning what my hybrid was able to do compared to others." Izuku sighed, feeling embarrassed to have to admit he didn't know much about his hybrid.

"Well, I hate to say you must not know how to read either because I'm pretty sure that page says 'Dragon Information' at the top of the page." Katsuki teased, loving the pink under gorgeous freckles. He also loved Izuku rolling those gorgeous eyes at his comment.

"I know it's dragons. I already read over rabbits and flipped through the pages to read more."

"Like what?"

"Like cats, as in Uraraka. Foxes, and birds. I even read over wolves like Shoto." Katsuki held in a growl. He didn't like to know that Shoto's impression of the omega was enough for him to still be thinking about him weeks later. It was a challenge between him and the other alpha almost and he wanted nothing more than to tear off the head of the bi-colored bastard. "And, I read some interesting facts about dragons."

With the attention back on him, the blonde smirked. "We are pretty cool."

"Yeah. Um, Kacchan?" Izuku's voice was so quiet he thought maybe the blonde didn't hear.

"Yeah?"

Emerald eyes looked up shyly at the prince, clearing his throat before asking. "Are you courting me?"

A/N:
Prepare the popcorn!!

Chapter Text

Katsuki stared at the rabbit next to him, his question bold and something the prince wasn't expecting. Was he that bad at all of this that it wasn't clear to the rabbit what was happening? Was Izuku that clueless? So many different things it could be. Then again, he had never properly asked the greenette to court him or asked him if that would be okay with him. I mean they were childhood best friends, they had only gotten reacquainted a few months ago, and the rabbit was getting attacked at that time or dealing with his sense of smell. Maybe the prince had to admit his timing wasn't the best in all of this.

"Uh," it was rare the blonde was speechless or didn't know what to say. Those large and beautiful eyes look up at him, waiting for an answer. "I'd like to."

"Why?" Again Izuku's mind wondered. So many others out there, and this stunning prince chooses him? "You are Prince Katsuki Bakugo. You're handsome, and caring, kind, and you stick up for me. You saved me multiple times now like it was nothing and you're wanted by everyone! You have princes and princesses, nobles and important people throwing themselves at you with much more to offer you than I ever could. You can have someone who has a stronger hybrid, a powerful family, or someone much better looking. I have seen some of your visiting suitors and they are all so gorgeous. So why me? Why some dumb bunny?"

Katsuki looked at the greenette. There were so many emotions written on his face. His words struck a chord with him if anyone else had said this, they'd be in serious pain. For now, He stared into those emerald eyes that had been haunting him for months and laughed. The poor rabbit was dumbfounded, thinking maybe this was all some joke or maybe he got it all wrong and let the gifts and book get into his head. He was about to run out of there, run home to never return to the castle again.

"Because there is no one else," Katsuki admitted, moving to crouch in front of the greenette who was seated in a library chair. The blonde knew his omega and he knew if he didn't get in front of him now, he'd bold out of here.

"What?"

"There is no one else to me. No one else is walking around my head all day and all night. When I see something or try something new, I don't ask myself if anyone else would like this or think of it. No one's eyes make me try to find a gem to match. No one's scent makes me want to keep them around or has one I enjoy being around. No one distracts me when they aren't even in the room. But, you do. I think about you all the time. You do all those things by just existing. No one else matters to me, but you." Izuku paused, frozen in place at the wonderful confession the prince had just given him. He wiped his face, trying to get the tears out of his eyes. "Aw, little bunny, I didn't mean to make you cry."

Katsuki wiped a thumb over a freckled cheek and leaned down to kiss his forehead. "You honestly mean all that?"

"I wouldn't lie to you. Ever." The blonde waited for a response, for him to say something but if he remembered one thing about the little rabbit, it was he was an overthinker and would deep dive into his head about all things that could go wrong. "Come on, Izuku. You don't have to give me an answer right now. Let me walk you home."

They walked in silence for the most part. It was clear to anyone watching the omega the wheels were turning in the head the entire time. A few people stopped to say hi to him or the prince. Katsuki had a couple of guards walk with them to keep people from getting too close or lingering. He wanted to be alone with Izuku, to let him wander over what he might be thinking. He mumbled to himself in an adorable way that the alpha grew used to from training as the rabbit would do so to figure out the next moves. The smaller boy shuffled his feet so it took longer to get to his home than usual but when they arrived, he seemed to hesitate at the door.

Wide and shining eyes looked between the curious prince and a couple of guards standing watch at his home. "Um, I have some more questions. Can you stay a little longer and come inside?"

"Of course." The prince was hoping this meant he was considering it, thinking it over as a yes more than a way of letting him down. If Izuku did decline, Katsuki would give up on him as he wanted. Deep down, the dragon didn't know if he'd be able to recover from it. "Are you okay?"

"Yes, just thinking." Izuku shuffled inside, standing near the center of the room. "Um, when did you start to have these feelings?"

"Since the day you came to deliver those horrible fruits from the Silver Kingdom." Izuku was shocked to hear this. All these months and he had no idea the prince thought about him like this.

"When did you start to court me?"

Again it hurt to hear the rabbit didn't even know he was being courted to prove just how bad the prince was at this, but he pressed on. "I guess my first real courting decision was the lemonade I made for you. Maybe the dagger subconsciously without thinking about it."

The alpha admitted, standing near the kitchen to allow some space between them while the poor greenette kept shifting his weight, unsure of how to react to all of this. "Are you actually wanting to court me?"

"If you'll have me."

Izuku peeked up at the captivating man in front of him. Crimson eyes had softened and his entire body seemed so relaxed in his presence. He felt safe around the alpha unlike anyone else. He knew the blonde would never hurt him, would never force anything on him he didn't want, and would care for him. There had been several moments the alpha used to pamper him already. It was a screaming yes from his inner omega. Izuku had to admit too he had a crush on the dragon prince for just as long too. As much as he wanted to agree with his inner omega, there was a lingering voice in the back of his head. It kept telling the rabbit he'd be holding the prince back from something greater, someone better than him. He had seen the suitors waltz through the streets on the way to the castle, he had seen the power they held and for him to get in the way of the much-deserving blonde of having that, Izuku would never be able to forgive himself.

"Deku, are you still there?" Katsuki smiled, seeing the adorable rabbit get lost in his head.

"Yes. Uh, I mean yes I accept."

"Huh?"

"Your courting. I accept your courting." The blonde couldn't help himself as he took a couple of steps towards the greenette, closing the long gap. Muscular arms wrapped around the short rabbit while smaller ones hesitated to hold his torso back. Izuku ignored the annoying voice in his head for now as he embraced the prince. For now, he'd enjoy this while it lasts. Something better might come along, but until he is asked or forced out of this unbelievable dream, he's going to enjoy every second of it. "C-can I sent you? B-before you leave?"

"Of course."

Katsuki released the rabbit, watching carefully as he hesitated to lift his small rest to the dragon's neck. He pushed his scent out, coating the tall blonde in front of him with his scent. "I haven't done this before. Is that too much?"

It very much was. Katsuki was light-headed and overwhelmed as he widened his smile and shook his head. "I like it."

The grin on Izuku's face was worth the headache he was feeling right now. There was a linger between them before small hands started to reach up. Hesitantly, he removed his collar, telling the alpha he wanted him to scent him too without saying anything. It was something he was too embarrassed to ask for out loud. This only made the blonde happier.

Katsuki knew this was a big step for the greenette so he took it slow, being gentle as he barely scented the omega, his campfire barely noticeable. A thumb ran along the rabbit's chin lovingly, checking on him once he was done to make sure it wasn't overpowering as he was still getting used to this. When he was done, he cupped the adorable freckled cheeks below, looking down before kissing the top of his green curls. "Thank you for accepting. I will see you tomorrow. Sleep well, little bunny."

It was a long walk back to the castle as the prince walked slowly, indulging in the moment a little longer. When he did arrive, he went straight back to his lounge room where he was shocked to see the three nobles still here. "Don't you idiots have your own homes?"

"We were just looking over - whoa!" Kirishima stopped talking and moved closer to the prince who just crossed his arms. He mentally prepared himself for the teasing that was about to come. "You smell funny."

"Ew, and you get closer? Let the man take a shower first." Denki expressed.

"No, no. This is just different. Like mint. Like-" The light bulb turned on above his head. The redhead patted the alpha's shoulders and laughed while wiggling his brows. "You smell like our little rabbit friend."

Sero now got up and moved in, taking a whiff of the prince himself. "Holy shit, you and him finally stop staring into each other's eyes long enough to do something?"

"It wasn't like that. We are just courting for now." Katsuki admitted, not being able to help the small smile on his face. "I talked to him today, walked him home and he scented me. He went a little overboard but, I like it."

"I can tell." Kirishima patted his back again like the proud friend he was. The redhead knew his friend struggled to find someone and it was a touchy subject for the prince so it made him happy to know he was finally happy. Katsuki had a picky alpha, a stubborn personality, and was a strong character himself. For him to be this bashful and to have found someone as well-mannered and enthusiastic as the rabbit was fate. They balanced each other extremely well, a perfect match.

"Aw look at you. Boys, I think our little prince has grown into quite the man." The smaller beta teased him, earning a serious glare from the prince.

"Whatever. I have some things I have to finish up. Be quiet or get out."

"Someone go get Mido back here! Bakugo is in a much better mood when he's here. How'd we get stuck with the grumpy version of you?" Sero sat back in his seat and as soon as he did, the prince grabbed a fruit from his desk and tossed it at his head. "Ow!"

"I said be quiet or get out!" Katsuki growled out while the others laughed. "Now stop talking about Deku."

Chapter Text

Courting had no manual or handbook to go along with it. Together they tested the waters as they tried to see each other more often. The rabbit visited every day for training or just to spend time with the prince who would always get excited to see him. There were gifts too. Katsuki had planned something new every day. He had a lot of personalized gifts. There were flowers, blankets, pillows, breads, his favorite snacks, and anything else he knew about the omega. Most of it was small as he figured out what the rabbit liked and preferred.

"Hi guys, what are you working on today?" Izuku asked as he bounced cheerfully into the lounge room. He planted himself on the corner of the prince's desk, a place he had officially claimed as his spot in the room. Katsuki loved it. He sat back in his chair, looking around the room at the three nobles around the table as his courting rabbit swung his legs under the desk. Emerald eyes looked back to smile at the blonde.

"Just whatever boring stuff the prince doesn't want to do himself," Kirishima answered.

Katsuki got up, moving to the front of his desk so he could lean against it and be closer to Izuku. "We have a few guest arriving who are picky about their stay and things they want to eat and have in their rooms while they're here so, I am having them place orders for the food and linens they want."

"Wow, that sounds really boring." Izuku agreed with an exaggerated eye roll and smiled up at the prince.

The dragon clicked his tongue as he playfully shoved the rabbit's shoulder. They shared a small laugh as the taller remembered something. "You three idiots stay here. Izuku and I are going for a walk."

"We are? Maybe I wanted to know more about the boring stuff you do all day." Izuku teased him, crossing his arms.

The prince only rolled his eyes before throwing the rabbit over his shoulder and carrying him off anyway. The fit of laughter spilling from the omega's mouth was contagious as everyone let out a small chuckle at their cute interaction. He kept cackling in the hallway until they entered the dining room where the queen was trying some food samples for their picky guest. She was annoyed at whoever was being so loud but when the two boys came to her view, she couldn't help but smile.

The cooks next to her even grinned at them as they paused their taste testing. "What are you two up to?"

Crimson eyes looked to the side to find his mother shaking her head playfully at them. He put the rabbit on his feet and gestured to a small box on the table. "I had a gift for Deku in here."

"Oh, and what's that?"

Izuku also wondered what the gift was as he looked up at the prince who gestured to it. "Open it."

The rabbit smiled from ear to ear as he tore open the ribbon and revealed a variety of chocolates from a highly respected shop nearby. "Are these what I think they are?"

"They are from Sato's shop. Each one has a different filling." Katsuki proudly stated at the beaming rabbit.

"Good gift son. Next time let me know when you get one so good so I can put in an order of my own." His mother patted his back proudly.

"Would you like one?" The greenette held the box up, offering her the first piece.

"Thank you Izuku, but I know better than to take someone's chocolate." The two of them shared a gentle laugh before she ran her long fingers through his green curls and went back to her task.

"Come on. I did say I wanted to go on a walk with you." Izuku grabbed a couple of chocolates and followed the prince. They walked out to the gardens, taking in the smells of the breeze and the freshly bloomed flowers. While outside, the rabbit proudly showed the blonde how he could jump on the top of the wall. "Wow, that's a great little bunny!"

The smile was hard to ignore. Katsuki was beginning to pick up on how much the rabbit enjoyed hearing praise. Not just from him but hearing it from anyone else around as well. His mind wondered, where else could he praise the rabbit, and in what activities would it help as well.

Quickly he shook his head to pull himself from the thoughts as Izuku jumped down from the wall. He reached his arms out to catch him, holding him the same way as when he found him at the dungeons. Emerald eyes shined bright with the sun above them, making the prince feel like he was looking at a personal gem created only for him. He put the smaller boy down, keeping eye contact as he admired everything about him. "There was a reason I wanted to get you alone."

"Okay." Izuku got a little nervous. He prepared himself for the bad news.

"I wanted to ask, if you're okay to tell me, when your next heat was?" It was a fair and good question. They were courting and he had given the omega some things to add to his nest for his heat.Izuku sighed thinking it over. He had the right to know. "Near the end of this week."

"I can assume you don't want me around for that yet?"

"No, I don't think I'm ready to be that, uh - intimate." Izuku blushed madly. He had never discussed his heat cycles like this with anyone other than Uraraka who would come in and check on him when it happened.

"Fair enough. I just wanted to check with you." Katsuki smiled reassuringly. He didn't want to embarrass or put himself in that station without checking with the omega while he had the right head space for now. Not when he was in a heat and not thinking clearly.

"Thank you, Kacchan."

*********

As usual, the prince was walking with the rabbit back to his home. On the way there, some vendors were shouting at them to try to buy something or give it to the prince as an offering. One in particular had bowls of spiced noodles which piqued the greenette's interest. The man on the other side of the booth leaned forward. "Would you like one?"

Izuku smiled as he shook his head. "Oh no, I was just looking-"

"We'll take two. Make one extra spicy, please." The prince stepped forward, offering money to him while smirking at his omega.

Once they had their bowls, there was a table available for them near the street where some people had begun to gather. Izuku got excited, clapping his hands with some others as a group of musicians started to set up on an outdoor stage. More townspeople gathered around when the music started. Spectators started to dance now, happily laughing in the street. It was enjoyable and a new sight for Katsuki to witness his people having fun.

Once he saw they were both done, he grabbed the small hand near him and pulled him to the street as well. Some started to whisper and point at them, wondering who the guy was dancing with the prince. But they were all ignored as the two of them enjoyed their time together. The music picked up and something about being out of the castle, being around someone who wasn't going to judge him for letting loose and instead would clap or cheer lifted his spirits. Katsuki was having way too much fun as he started to sing the bar songs and drink with his people. He didn't go overboard and wasn't even tipsy, but he did have a good time pretending for a moment he wasn't the prince.

He walked the rabbit home, an arm around his waist. "You seem to have had a good time."

"I did. It's been a long time since I've been allowed to have a good time and do what I wanted for a change." The blonde smiled at his omega, tucked into his side.

"Well, it looks good on you." Izuku was holding some flowers the prince had bought him so his hands were full. He did manage to look up and take in the happy expression on his alpha's face. "I guess some days it must be pretty hard being Prince Katsuki."

The blonde sighed, looking around as people walked home or went about their usual lives. "Sometimes. Not because I don't get to do what I want, when I want to, and be whoever I want to be. I like the life I have and I am grateful for what I have been given. Sometimes it feels like I am missing out on moments with the people. I sit in on meetings, and I hear complaints from those who come to bring it to our attention but I want more nights like these, where I can connect to them. That's what I want to experience more often."

The rabbit was impressed to hear this. It made him fall for the handsome prince that much deeper. "Well, for the record, I think you're doing an amazing job. Coming from a commoner himself."

"You Izuku Midoriya," Katsuki turned the rabbit to face him in front of his home. "are anything but common. You are a one-of-a-kind."

Izuku giggled as he held a scarred hand to his mouth, looking into crimson eyes that were just fascinating to him. There is no other color, no other stone, no other moment in life to match the color of those piercing eyes.

"Thank you." He didn't want the night to be over just yet. "I should get these into water. Will you help grab my vase from the top of the cabinets?"

"Of course, little bunny."

The prince smiled wider than ever while following Izuku inside. He turned around quickly to the two guards with him and told them to stay outside. He knew the rabbit felt weird when the guards would catch them hugging or walking hand in hand.

"It's up there." The omega pointed to the purple-tinted vase on top. It was a bit higher than the rabbit could reach, but no effort to the blonde. Before handing it over, he filled it with water for him. Izuku added a few flowers at a time, adjusting them and setting them perfectly where they needed to be. Once he was done, he turned the vase around to the blonde. "Ta-dah!"

Katsuki chuckled, moving closer to the rabbit. "Looks perfect."

A large hand reached up to run a thumb along a freckled cheek, admiring, loving, obsessing over how it feels. These little spots made the rabbit impossibly more adorable, which was unimaginable. "Can we scent each other again?"

"No need to ask me Izuku. You're welcome to do so whenever you see fit." His large hands reached down to carefully remove the collar from the greenette's neck. Right away the mint smell filled the room. They stepped in closer to the other, taking their time to look at each other, to scent each other, to be around the other one just a little bit longer before having to part ways for the night. When they were done, Izuku's arms rested on the shoulders of alpha as he was too short to fully hug him from down here. Katsuki's hands rested on the omega's sides, holding him there while his thumb mindlessly rubbed the material it rested on. "Can I kiss you?"

Izuku blushed, his eyes dropping to the alpha's lips right away. He didn't say anything, just nodded. Katsuki smiled, seeing the rabbit melt into his touch. He raised a hand to hold the side of his cheek, another hand pulling a slimmed waist to him. The sight in front of him of gorgeous eyes and pursed ready lips below him. Again the prince took in just how magnificent this omega was. He couldn't hold back as he connected their lips. As the prince knew he would, Izuku tasted sweet.

The greenette held onto the alpha's shoulders, drawing the broad shoulders into him more as he allowed the feeling of the alpha holding him to completely overtake him. His body leaned into the large man in front of him who had stolen his heart and taken his breath away. They moved together as they had always meant to be like this as if they had been together in another life before this one and had found each other again. It was heated and Izuku couldn't help but wrap his arms around broad shoulders when the blonde leaned down further to hold his hips tighter. The omega felt a tongue lick his lips and he didn't bother to play around as he opened his mouth for him right away.

Katsuki took in every inch of the rabbit's mouth so he would be able to draw it blindfolded later on. He wanted this to never end as he finally allowed himself to wrap around the body he had been thinking about and craving for months. The moment was perfect until the rabbit moaned into his mouth and the scent coming from him became sweeter. As much as Katsuki loved that sound and wanted to hear it again, he pulled away and looked down. Izuku had started to sweat a little. The prince grinned slightly, then felt awful to know his scent, his pheromones had been the one to cause this.

"Izuku, did you start your heat early?" Emerald eyes looked down, trying to avoid the embarrassing confession, but his knees were becoming weaker but the second. He nodded while clinging to the blonde. "Come on, let's get you to your room."

Katsuki helped him to the door he knew was his bedroom. He stopped in the door frame as he allowed the rabbit to move to make a nest. There was a swell of pride in him as the greenette gathered items the alpha had gifted him, using them all.

"Izuku, I know you said you didn't want to do anything like that yet but, let me stay and help you?" He pleaded, not wanting to leave him at such a desperate time. He knew a surge of pain would come soon and he wanted to stay to try to make it better. "I don't want to leave knowing you'll be hurting soon."

Izuku nodded to him, continuing to make his nest. The prince moved quickly to tell the guards to leave and tell his parents about Izuku's heat. When he came back inside he removed his cape from his shoulders. "Alpha?"

He rushed to the bedroom door, still not fully entering the room. He was a little surprised to find a shirtless omega holding his stomach in bed. He had fully entered his heat now as his ears and tail were showing. "I'm here little bunny, what do you need?"

"Just you." He opened his arms, motioning for the blonde to hold him. Katsuki smiled, again another proud feeling as the omega wanted the alpha in his nest. The prince wrapped the cape around slim shoulders, pulling the rabbit to his chest. "Mmm, smells good."

"I'm here omega. Sleep while you can."

"Okay. Thank you for staying."

"Anything for you, Izuku." Katsuki kissed the greenette's temples. He ran a soothing hand down his slim back, letting him sleep before discomfort and pain set in.

Chapter Text

The heat cycle caused another swell of aches to hit, waking the omega up from a deep sleep. Floppy ears were slicked back against his head. He peeked his eyes open, seeing the prince was not next to him. The rabbit rolled over and found the bed empty on that side too. He tugged the cape over him more, pulling it to his nose to take in the scent. The material was so soft and felt nice against his bare chest. He removed the rest of his clothes. He was hot but also he wanted the material on his skin more. "Alpha! Where are you?"

There were some heavy footsteps before the blonde stepped into view. "I'm right here. What's wrong?"

The rabbit moved the cape away from him, showing the alpha his naked body. He pushed his hips into the air and chest into the bed. He shamelessly presented himself to the blonde, his heat taking over to get one thing. "Alpha, mate with me? Please?"

Katsuki was stunned at the sight in front of him. Izuku had slick leaking from his ready hole. The rabbit wiggled his perfectly sculpted ass in the air and he wore a lustful look on his face. What he said was enough to make the prince's pants tighter, but now, seeing just how ready the rabbit was, it was causing a much bigger issue for him. Although the blonde wanted to take a piece for himself, one thing the prince had that the other alpha didn't was he had self-control, and he cared for the omega's feelings more than his own needs. Izuku had told him when he had the right head space he didn't want to go all the way just yet.

The blonde sighed, shaking his head. "I can't give you want little bunny, but I can help your pain go away."

"You'll touch me?"

"Yes, Izuku, I'll touch you."

Izuku smiled, welcoming his alpha closer to him. He was pushed onto his back, the blonde settling behind his legs but not leaning into him like the rabbit wanted. He let out a whimper, wanting to be closer. Instead, Katsuki kissed him, picking up where they had been from the night before. The dragon kept his weight on his elbows as the omega's hands got lost in the soft blonde spikes of his alpha, tugging and pulling him closer. It was amazing until it wasn't enough. Izuku started to pull on the blonde's arms, wanting more. A large hand held his soft and yet burning cheek before moving down to his chest. The rabbit moaned at the feeling of a thumb rubbing along his sensitive nipple. He had never been touched like this and right now it felt so good.

The prince moved his mouth to leave a trail of kisses along the omega's jaw before licking and slightly nipping at his neck, but not marking him. That was something Katsuki wouldn't dream of doing until they were both in the right head space to agree to do so.

The greenette let out another whimper when the hand left his chest and traveled further down his body. He didn't know what to expect until long fingers wrapped themselves around his hard cock. The omega gasped, then moaned as the blonde started to move his hand, the pumping action right away making him feel better. The pain lessened as he panted and allowed the alpha to take care of him. The large calloused hand from holding a sword worked him perfectly. Izuku bucked his hips into the hand, trying to get more friction. The heat again took over and this was no longer helping ease his pain.

"More, please," Izuku asked, his voice a half moan and cry.

"More?"

"Yes, please. I need you."

"Okay, I can do more." The prince nodded, kissing his neck again.

The large hand released the omega's cock, causing him to whimper from the loss of feeling good. Katsuki continued to pepper his neck with kisses and small bites with his front teeth, teasing the skin. His head lowered until his tongue could flick at one of the rabbit's buds. Izuku's head fell back, not knowing something so small and simple could make him feel like this. He thought this would be enough, but then a finger started to play with his slicked entrance and he knew right away he wanted that much more. He tried to move his hips, getting MORE contact from his alpha, but the prince was in control, taking it slow and easy for him as it was the omega's first time. The rabbit would have appreciated that if his heat wasn't him crazy.

Slowly, a finger did enter him. Izuku moaned and hugged the alpha's shoulders who had moved back to kissing his neck, right under his ear where it felt the best. The one finger soon became two as his slick allowed. This made it only that MUCH better. Izuku started to move his hips with the movement of the fingers inside him, grinding on them in a way.

"F-fuck. Alpha." He breathed out, loving how this felt and how it made his pain stop.

"Yeah, baby? Does that feel good?"

"Yes, yes it is. Please, go faster."

"Alright beautiful, just a little. I don't want to hurt you."

"Hurt me, I don't care."

"I do, and I won't." Izuku smiled at this before his expression changed to one of pleasure. Katsuki's long and thick fingers did move quicker, moving in and out of him in perfect rhythm. The rabbit had never felt so good. He didn't think it could get more enjoyable until a third finger was added. Small fist gripped the sheets around him, again moving his hips in sync with the prince's fingers. "How's that little bunny? Do you like that? "

"Yes, oh my god, yes! Don't stop, please alpha, don't."

"Of course not little bunny. You're doing so good." The blonde smiled, getting a deep purr from the greenette under him. Crimson eyes kept looking down at his face to check on his feelings and emotions. He also kept asking if he felt good, making sure to not hurt him but also learn his body for later on. When he curled his fingers and the omega moaned out a little louder, he smirked. "That's it, what a good omega."

His theory of a praise kink had been proven true as the rabbit pulled his fingers in more from his statement. He could tell by the look on the adorable rabbit's face that he was getting closer. Long fingers moved around, trying to find a certain spot. He wanted the rabbit to feel as good as possible and be able to come finally. The blonde pushed in, hitting a spot that made the rabbit nearly scream out in pleasure.

"There it is." The prince beamed proudly, hitting the same spot over and over again while the rabbit's eyes fell back into his head. "Come for me Izuku."

A few more hits and the rabbit spilled over, calling out one final moan into the room as he let his orgasm hit. Katsuki grabbed a nearby rag he used to wipe the sweat away last night and cleaned his omega before wrapping him in the cape again and spooning him into a comfortable position. Once Izuku had fallen asleep, he got water and more rags to keep on standby, knowing this wouldn't be the last time he'd need them.

**********

When Izuku opened his eyes on the third day his heat had finally ended. His ears and tail are now tucked away. Since he was back in his right mind, he looked over at the sleeping prince next to him. Katsuki was on his back, head slightly tilted towards the rabbit as small amounts of sunlight poured into the room. His tanned skin and flawless upper body were on full display for emerald eyes to admire. While he had the chance to, Izuku marveled at the alpha next to him who had taken amazing care of him during his heat.

He made sure the omega ate something, had plenty of water to stay hydrated, bathed him, and when his heat pain came...handled them. Either using his hand or his fingers, the alpha remained true to his word of not going any further without the rabbit being cognitive enough to consent appropriately. This only made his feelings for the alpha so much greater. Izuku knew he had presented himself to the blonde carelessly so many times in the last three days and each time, as tempting as it might've been, Katsuki had turned the rabbit down and settled his heat another way.

Izuku hesitated but reached a hand up to run a finger along the prince's sharpened jaw. When this didn't make him stir or move, meaning he remained asleep, the rabbit moved a blonde spike out of the way. He then ran his fingers through the prince's hair and was pleasantly surprised to find them to be so soft. He again checked to make sure he was still asleep before placing a hand on his wide and impressive chest. Izuku blushed as he moved his hand to the other side and caressed his abs, then back up to his chest and collarbone. He smiled to himself, to his omega for finding such a gorgeous alpha.

His hand continued up the alpha's neck to hold his cheek. Emerald eyes took in the handsome prince until his head moved to lean into his touch. Izuku gasped softly, a little surprised when he suddenly moved. "How long have you been awake?"

"The entire time." Crimson eyes opened to see the panic in the rabbit's reddened face.

"Why didn't you say anything?"

"You seemed to be enjoying yourself and I didn't want to interrupt." Izuku huffed out an annoying breath before rolling over with a pout. Katsuki only chuckled, moving on his side to hold the rabbit from behind. "Awe, don't be mad at me little bunny."

Izuku took a deep breath, rolling back over to face him with a pout and knitted brows. "You should have said something."

"I know. I'm sorry." He didn't entirely mean it as he kissed the rabbit's forehead. Truthfully, he enjoyed the touch the omega was giving him. Now that he was back in his own head, it was nice to know the attraction went both ways.

The omega couldn't stay mad at the alpha, not when he had treated him so kindly. His touches were expert-level. The way he cared for the rabbit's body was like he had practiced, or had done this before. Another dark realization hit all too late. Of course, Katsuki had been with other people before. He was a handsome prince who had ruts, and others threw themselves at him so often. Why wouldn't he have taken a few of them up on their offer? Surely he wasn't the only one to have ever presented themselves to him with or without being in a heat before.

He felt so stupid to have thought, maybe, like this was his first time too. Stupid to think the same would be true for the very wanted alpha holding him now. Truthfully, he didn't know how he felt about not being his only one. How many others had there been? Had he marked any of them before? Had any of them gotten pregnant or did he have a bastard child out there somewhere he kept hidden from everyone?

"Hey, your scent changed. What's wrong?" Katsuki put a hand under the omega's jaw, carefully bringing it up to look up at him as his thumb soothed the skin under it.

Izuku had some internal panic before taking a deep breath. He'd rather know now than find out about it later. "Have you been with other people?"

The prince was plainly shocked to be asked this question so randomly and so early in the day. Then again, the omega was back to thinking straight, and the things he had done to the omega he had learned from being with other people. He dropped his shoulders, the guilt and rage he had given himself over the years for these stupid mistakes coming back all at once as he looked down at the sad eyes of his potential mate. He just hoped their courting would continue after this.

"Izuku, I won't lie to you. I have been with other people and it's not something I am proud to admit. I fucking hate it so much that my answer to you cannot be no. I had a few moments of weakness, of loneliness. My alpha, he is excessively fucking picky and I had many moments in my life where I thought I'd never have a mate. I know it's not a very good reason but, I had convinced myself that someone like you would never come along so fuck it, and I caved. I knew the next day after it happened that I regretted it and knew I shouldn't have done it. I should have had more self-control so I could be with my one true mate. So I could be with you."

Katsuki poured his heart out. He truly could not lie to the rabbit in front of him so instead, he could only beg for forgiveness for his past mistakes. He felt tears swell in his eyes as he again took in how hurt and sad the omega in his arms looked. His heart rate picked up so fast in fear that this was the last time they'd see each other. He feared the omega would see him as trash after this and ask him to leave.

"I can't change what I have already done, but I can promise you that no one else has my eye. No one else means to me what you do and no one else will ever touch me or be touched by me except you. You are who I want Izuku. No one else can even compare to you in my heart and my mind."

Izuku saw the truth in his eyes. His tears threatened to fall as he truly regretted what he had done. Being mates means something to him. The rabbit himself had had countless offers to be with someone but believed his mate would be disappointed if he had anyone else prior.

The omega took in the sight of the alpha in front of him and chose to forgive him for the past and look forward to the future. If the book was true, if dragons could truly only ever have one mate their whole lives after finding them, then he was proud to be the possible fated mate the prince was waiting for. As the prince said, no one else had a scent he enjoyed before the omega came along.

Small hands held the blonde's face carefully, leaning up to kiss him gently. Once he was kissed back and could feel the prince relax, he looked up again. "I trust you."

Katsuki let a few tears fall as he took in the rabbit, holding him closely. "Thank you Izuku."

"Don't thank me yet. I won't fully forgive you until I have at least two cinnamon rolls from the bakery."

The alpha chuckled, loving the rabbit so much more. "Are you sure you don't want to feel me up some more before I make a run for them?"

Izuku blushed madly at the words, and how he wanted to say yes. He pushed his hands to cover the alpha's mouth. "Would you just - Shush!"

Katsuki only laughed, rolling over to hover above the rabbit. He moved his hands away to kiss his lips, sweetly, gently. "If cinnamon rolls are what my little bunny desires, then I will be right back."

"Two of them!"

"Yes, my omega." Katsuki kissed him once more before pulling his cape on and going to fetch not just two, but the entire remaining batch of cinnamon rolls from the bakery for his sweet omega.

A/N:
Is anyone else hardcore craving cinnamon rolls?

Chapter Text

Now that Izuku's heat had settled and everything about the prince had been revealed, the blonde couldn't stay away from him. The gifts only increased now that he had seen with his own two eyes that the rabbit used them and liked what he hand-selected for him. He went overboard sometimes, buying him jewelry, expensive clothing, custom furniture, or paintings. Despite these things, Izuku took them with a happy smile but he never grinned wider than the smaller things. Specially handpicked flowers, the freshest treats from the vendors in the kingdom, getting up early enough to bring him the first batch. A week ago the prince had gifted the rabbit with a new collar. It was a silky leather, dyed green to match his other clothing but was pressed with the royal family crest the prince had tattooed on his arm. He knew the omega wore the collar by choice for his scent and to keep his neck protected, but he had been so happy to receive it that his hybrid ears and tail took all day to disappear.

Every time the blonde sees him wearing it, he can't help but reach out to feel it and admire him wearing it. Sure Izuku tried to wear and use all these gifts, but for some reason, the collar meant the most. This was as close to a mark for now, until they were ready. The dragon was ready, he wanted to be forever bonded to his omega but, he was aware of the things the rabbit had gone through in life and understood the hesitation. His father left his mother after being mated, being attacked so many times, and being nervous about our first time together. All this was why the alpha would wait as long as it took for the rabbit to tell him it was okay.

He loved Izuku, he'd do anything for him so of course this was something that could wait to do. He was lucky to have the omega. He felt lucky to have him even after telling him he had been with others in the past. He didn't understand why the rabbit had been so forgiving or why he had bothered to give him another chance but he did know he'd spend every day showing the omega just how grateful he is for it and how happy the omega makes him.

The prince looked over his paperwork on the desk but the thought of the beautiful rabbit who he was obsessed with kept interrupting him. He needed him close. Even if he sat on his desk, and read a book at the table in his presence, he'd be able to focus. He just wanted to see him and then he'd go back to work.

He got up from his desk, a smile on his face as he walked. Right as he was about to reach the front door, someone hugged his arm tightly. "Katsuki! I've missed you, honey bear!"

He growled at Camie touching him, and the horrible nickname she gave the prince years ago. She had thought it was so funny and when he complained and threatened her to stop, she only laughed it off and said they were already bickering like an old mated couple. Katsuki had met her when he was ten years old and from then on, she had only added fire to the flames of hatred he had for her. The nicknames, the unwanted touching, the constant feeling of her watching him every move when she was here, and the fact she acted as if the two of them were already mates.

She talked to other staff about getting to know his routine and how he liked things done to know her future mate better. Everyone in his castle by now knew not to answer her questions as they were made aware of how much he disliked her. She spoke to her parents about how well the two of them get along and that he's the only one for her. For a few years, they truly believed the two of them liked one another, that was until witnessing an eighteen-year-old Katsuki yell at her to leave him alone and stop following him. At that moment they understood it was one-sided.

Camie was less than convinced he was serious as she went as far as to tell people at events they both attended that they were courting, they were engaged, or whatever else. She once drew on her neck and went around to anyone who would listen he had claimed her. Each lie met with more angry yelling and screaming from the prince to stop and leave him alone. Each time she'd wave it off and continue her harassment of the prince.

"Get the fuck off of me." He snapped when she didn't let go.

"Where are you just leaving to walk outside? Oh, I'd love to join you. Your kingdom sells the most beautiful dresses and I'd love to buy a new one to wear at the ball."

The ball.

Katsuki had forgotten all about it. It was a yearly event his parents held to present him to other kingdoms as he was still unmated. In actuality, it was an all-over party for the surrounding kingdoms to bring their unmated children together and encourage them to take other royals as their mates. It was strongly encouraged but not frowned upon. Everyone knew there was an unknown source working to bring mates together and most of the time they had no say over who that other person was.

"No." He tore his arm away.

"Katsuki, a word please?" The king approached his son with a forced smile. His parents brought him to the side. "We are aware of your feelings towards the princess but her parents want to talk on serious matters and it's just easier to do so when she isn't around. Plus, it may be good for you to spend time with her as you are both still unmated."

The prince growled, glaring at his father. "I'm already courting my omega."

"We know and you are fully aware of what your father meant." His mother stepped in. She didn't appreciate what her husband had said either as he was courting Izuku and it was clear the two were meant for one another. For him to ask that, must mean he isn't paying attention to them, which was a big possibility. He was a busy king and a very clueless man when it came to these sorts of things. "What he means is, take her to find a new dress and let us talk to her parents without her being present as a distraction. Maybe find Izuku while you're out and invite him?"

Her statement did make him feel slightly better. He was on his way to see him, inviting him to the ball could be his excuse. As if he needed one at this point. He had gone to see the rabbit for less important reasons than just wanting to see his face. Once he got bored and walked around until he found him and then helped him deliver whatever he had left for the rest of the day.

"Fine. But I want compensation if she comes back alive."

"Deal." His mother smiled and they quickly joined the others.

The king raised a confused brow to his wife. "Did I say something wrong?"

"I'll catch you up later darling." She patted his arm.

"Come on, I don't have all fucking day." He glared at Camie who was either too delusional and oblivious to his anger or too stupid to pick up on it. Either way, she happily clapped and tried to take his hand. "Don't fucking touch me. I won't tell you again."

They walked just outside the gates and the dumb fox princess again tried to take his hand. This time he used his fire ability to heat his hand enough to make her let go. He only snarled at her, not caring to have possibly hurt her as she checked her hand. The blonde did warn her. It was her fault for not listening. Again, she brushed it off as if it were nothing before moving to see what a vendor had to offer. It took forever with her to move three fucking feet.

When the prince was with Izuku, he didn't mind. They shared plenty of common interests and seeing him interact with some of the vendors was enjoyable. They had known him as a small kid so they'd give me a hard time and check in on him, embarrassing him. With Camie, she demanded to see something, for them to hurry up, or complain about their handmade work. She was stuck up and it annoyed the prince more than anything else she had done. To treat people so shamelessly just because their status was ugly to see. Even though Izuku was a commoner and lived among these people, something told him that the rabbit would still be kind to all no matter where he grew up. There was no mean bone in his body.

As he was about to rage out and demand they turn back around so she couldn't yell or be rude to people anymore, crimson eyes landed on his omega. Izuku smiled at a florist as he handed her a box of what looked like string she used to tie bouquets together. A smaller girl appeared, she looked just like her mother. The prince watched as the little girl tugged on the rabbit's pant leg. He quickly looked down at her, smiling even wider as he went on one knee to talk to her at her level, as an equal. The girl smiled at the gesture and showed him something in her small hands. From here, the prince couldn't see what it was, until the greenette lowered his head and allowed her to place the flower crown on his head. When the freckled face looked back up, he posed with his hands on his hips and puffed his chest out.

The prince was finally close enough to hear them. "How do I look?"

"Pretty." The girl said with a giggle, enjoying how much the rabbit liked her gift.

"Very pretty indeed," Katsuki spoke out, earning a quick smile from the rabbit.

"Kacchan!"

"Hello, Prince Katsuki." The girl did her best to curtsy, crossing her legs to do so but nearly fell over. She went red in the face and stared down at the ground in embarrassment to have almost fallen over in front of someone so important.

The prince only grabbed a purple flower nearby. He knelled to her, next to his rabbit, and placed it in her hair, above her ear. She looked up with a small smile. "I am glad to have run into you. My mother, the queen, requested I bring her back some flowers. Now, I don't know anything about flowers other than they grow in the ground. Do you think you could help me and pick her some? I know she likes the red and yellow ones but, I have no idea which are the best."

"I do!" She exclaimed, more than excited to be able to pick flowers for the queen.

"I knew you would." The prince winked at the omega next to him. Izuku was struck with awe to see the blonde, his handsome and caring alpha, take the time to make this random girl happy.

Crimson eyes watched the little girl get to work. She roamed around and made a big fuss. She had her mother help her grab the ones she couldn't reach and expertly put together a bouquet. She handed it back to him with the biggest grin across her face, showing a missing tooth. "Here you go your majanty."

"Majesty." Her mother corrected her, whispering down to her.

"Right, your ma-jes-ty." She nodded, saying it right this time.

The prince faked a loud gasp, taking the flowers from her. "These are just perfect! Well, now how am I supposed to tell her I did this? She'll know right away I didn't do it."

The girl pouted, thinking she might've done something wrong. "Oh, no."

"Well, I guess there's only one thing to do," Katsuki smirked. He gestured a guard over, making the girl a little more nervous. "What's your name?"

"Eri." She nearly whispered.

"How old are you, Eri?"

"I'm -" She looked to count how many fingers her mother was holding up. "Six."

The prince turned back to the guard. "You, you must hand deliver these to the queen when we return and tell her that the beautiful florist, six-year-old Eri, hand-picked these for her."

"Yes, Sire." The guard nodded. Behind his helmet, he even smiled at the interaction.

Before Katsuki stood, he reached for Eri's hand, kissing her knuckles as he'd do for anyone else. "Thank you, Miss Eri. Hopefully, you can help me in the future as well."

She giggled and rubbed her hand, likely never having someone kiss her hand before. "Yes, Your Majesty."

Katsuki smiled at her trying hard to focus on using the word correctly before turning his attention to the grinning rabbit, holding his elbow out for him. Izuku let out a sigh and shook his head. "That was very sweet Kacchan. And you're right, she made that way better than you would have done yourself."

The prince let out a laugh, knowing he was probably right. Truly he just wanted to make his people happy, but being able to make the girl's day, and provide his mother a gift, while impressing his omega was quite the win. "I'm glad I found you. There's something I wanted to ask you about."

The blonde turned to face the greenette, taking both his hands in his. "Yes, I said a size-year-old picks flowers better than you. No need to make a scene or take it to heart."

Again the prince chuckled, seeing his rabbit was in a really good mood to joke around with him so much.

"Not that. Although I am a little hurt." He pretended to pout but his smile was overpowering him in the moment. "The annual ball my parents throw is in three days and I want you to attend. It's a mingle more so for unmated royals and nobles alike to come together and I couldn't imagine going to something like that without you by my side."

"A ball, in the castle?" Izuku smiled wider, loving the idea of attending something so grand.

"Yes. I want you next to me the whole time."

"But, I'd be so out of place? I don't have anything that would be nice enough."

"I will send you something to wear. Just say you'll come. Please?"

"Say no, to the prince, asking me to go to a ball?" He said in a teasing voice. The beautiful smile he wore made the prince blush. "I'd love to go-"

"You're inviting him?" Camie asked. Her voice melted the prince's smile away and replaced it with a scowl. She wrapped herself around his arm again and if he hadn't been yelled at for burning her for real before, by her parents and his own, Katsuki would have scarred her for life. Instead, she again ignored his deep growl. Her eyes looked over the omega. She had to admit he was attractive and cute, the freckles and flower crown on his perfectly placed green curls only making him more adorable. But that was something she'd never say out loud. By the way, the prince held his hands, it was evident this was a rival of hers. "Why him?"

"Camie, don't fucking start with -"

"I mean, he's so small. There isn't anything special about him from what I can see either. He's just some filthy commoner rabbit who is likely trying to steal your riches. This ugly little thing would only make you look worse. Come on honey bear, you know both our parents would love to see us as mates one day. Ditch the nobody and let's go find me a dress like we -"

"Enough!" Katsuki grabbed her upper arms, pushing her away from the rabbit and where they weren't in the middle of the street. His hold on her was stronger than it needed to be but he wanted to prove a point, and his rage was all he felt. "You will not ever speak to him like that again. If you do, I will send you home with my hand burned into your arm as a constant reminder of your disrespect towards my omega and myself."

Camie looked behind him, smirking as she shrugged at the alpha. "What omega?"

The blonde turned quickly to see Izuku no longer standing where he was. Instead, he had made a run from this situation. He was too upset to watch it unfold any longer.

"Dammit!"

A/N:

If you have read any of my other stories, you can tell I fucking hate Camie. The most annoying character on MHA, I'll take that shit to my grave.

Chapter Text

Izuku's vision blurred as he ran home. He couldn't control the tears that rolled down his face as he tried to get inside as fast as possible. Some people glared or looked over concerned by the muffled sobs coming from him. By now his ears and tail were on display from how upset he was with what had just happened.

The worst part was she was right. He was a filthy commoner, a rabbit no less. There was nothing special about him, nothing to offer, and he was ugly in comparison to the handsome and highly wanted prince. All of his fears and worries about being with the blonde had been said out loud from someone else's mouth and in front of the prince of course. She had made him now fully aware of just how insane this courting thing was. A dragon and a rabbit. A powerful prince and a messenger. A breathtaking blonde and some useless greenette. None of it made sense. Feelings aside, this was never meant to last or work out with who they were.

With not being able to see well and his mind elsewhere, he ran into a strong back, falling to his butt on the ground. He wiped his eyes and looked up. "Whoa, Mido? Have you been crying? What's wrong?"

There was a sigh of relief from the rabbit as Kirishima helped him to his feet. He tried to speak but couldn't. Another sob flew from his mouth as the redhead only wrapped his arms around the hurting rabbit. Nothing had been said yet, but it was clear this omega had had a really bad day, so bad he couldn't catch his breath long enough to tell him just yet. The redhead didn't mind letting him take his time and cry into his chest as he released calming pheromones with his rainforest scent. The rabbit's little fist held onto the noble's shirt as he hugged him. The friendly alpha held him up and hugged his waist right back as his heart went out to him for whatever had caused him to be this upset.

Over the past few months, he had gotten to know Izuku, for the sake of his friend courting him and being around him so much. The rabbit had grown into a good friend of his. Whatever happened to make this poor rabbit cry and break apart like this must have been bad. He was a rabbit, but it was clear that Izuku was tough and could handle his own pretty well, meaning this was bad.The sobs seemed to have slowed and turned into sniffles. Kirishima put strong hands on the slim shoulders below him, looking into his tearful eyes. "Midoriya, are you in danger?"

"No. But something did happen."

"Okay. Want us to walk you home?"

Izuku was about to ask who 'us' was when the blonde beta walked up to them. The noble had a turkey leg in each hand, taking a huge bite of one as he finally noticed the condition of the greenette. His happy smile faded as he looked between the two. He spoke with a mouth full of food. "Why he cwying?"

The nobles did walk him home. Denki even offered him a bite of his turkey which was declined. Kirishima held his shoulders the entire way. He was comforting the rabbit but also using his cape to cover the rabbit's tail to hide from any lurking attackers. Luckily the way his ears slicked back made them not so noticeable.In the rabbit's home, the redhead made tea from where he remembered it was kept and joined the two on the couch. Izuku had stopped crying but his eyes were still watery and puffy as if he might burst into tears again at any minute. Seeing him like this made both nobles hurt for him, hating to see their usual bubbly and hyper friend so down and depressed.

"Okay, how do you feel now?" The alpha asked him, handing him a drink.

"Better, thank you."

"Better enough to tell us what happened?" Kirishima punched the blonde's arm. "What? The suspense is killing me!"

Izuku sighed, taking a small sip to soothe his sore throat before telling them about what happened. How Katsuki had just invited him to the ball and then some girl clung to his arm, saying everything Izuku had been fearing out loud.

"You can't be telling me you think that any of that is true or matters, right?" Kirishima asked.

"Which part?"

The redhead scuffed, unbelieving this. "Your hybrid, being a commoner, everything. It doesn't matter to Bakugo and you know what. So what if you have 'nothing to offer.' Do you think that's going to stop him? The man is obsessed with you and I have never seen the man so happy in my entire life. He is constantly talking about you. He is constantly thinking about what to gift you when he's gonna see you next, what you'd think of something we were talking about. So what you're a rabbit. So what about any of it when you know how you feel about each other."

His words made Izuku feel a little better. It was nice to know the prince thought of him highly enough to talk to him to his friends as well.

"I guess you're right. But she also mentioned something about their parents wanting them to be together."

Izuku watched the two look at each other with the same curious expression. The beta leaned forward, eyes narrowed like he was figuring out a puzzle. "What did this girl look like?"

"I didn't get a good look at her."

"Brunette? Her voice is sort of high-pitched and annoying. Beady little eyes, and loud?" Denki went on.

"Yeah, I think so."

Kirishima stood up, his hands clapping once and pointing at the other noble. "That's fucking Camie!"

"It sounds just like the shady shit you'd expect her to do." Denki shook his head.

"Who's Camie?" Izuku asked, bringing his legs up and cris crossing them in the chair with interest.

They both groaned, obviously sharing some strong feelings about this girl, none of them very good ones either. The two of them kept looking like they were going to start telling him, but then they'd let out an angry growl or agitated noise. It was slightly enjoyable to watch as they didn't know where to start with this girl.

"She - oh man - She- " The redhead took a deep breath and sat back down. "She sucks."

"She totally sucks!"

"Okay, um, can I get a little more than that?." The rabbit giggled.

"Camie is insane. Every single party we go to and she's there, she won't let anyone look or even talk to him. We are his best friends, his nobles, and his trusted advisors and even we are given the stink eye if he starts a conversation with us. She thinks she had some claim over the guy already." Kirishima went on.

"Oh, and no one hates her more than your hot head," Denki admitted. Kirishima only scuffed, nodding his head in agreement. "I mean, loathes her too. Like she could fall off a cliff in front of him and he would shrug and walk away."

"Wow." Izuku raised his brows.

"Yeah wow." The alpha shook his head, looking at the beta. Izuku thought maybe that statement went a little too far. "You know he wouldn't even shrug."

"Right. He wouldn't even care enough to do that." Izuku smirked to himself at their conversation.

What she had said still hurt but it felt a little better to know that maybe it was more so said because she was jealous and trying to hurt his feelings. He still wanted to talk to Katsuki. He wanted to know and hear from him directly that he didn't think those things. He had never done anything to make the greenette believe he did but, just to be sure.

"So, she's just a spoiled brat who's mad I have his attention instead of her?"

"Yes, now you're getting it Mido!" Kirishima patted his back like a proud dad. "Seriously, don't take anything she says seriously. Everyone knows she wants the prince. She went around saying they were already mated, that they were planning on getting married, even drew marks on herself once."

"Whoa, that's pretty crazy."

"We told you she was. Man. I don't even know how she still thinks she has a chance when all Bakubro does is yell and growl at her. She's gotta be brain-dead or something because come on. Even I can take a hint when he isn't in a good mood." Denki huffed.

"Yeah well, she seems to think it's his way of flirting. 'Oi, get the fuck off of me you whore. Don't ever touch me again' must translate to 'hold my hand and tell everyone we are getting married' in her dull head." Izuku laughed at the horrible impression of the prince. Kirishima even puffed his chest out and deepened his voice his mimic him. "I mean, I can't even tell you how many times he's burned her, literally."

"What? Really?" Izuku couldn't imagine him doing something like that. His eyes widened.

"Oh, every time she's here!" The beta shouted. "She keeps trying to hold his hand or hug him and he warns her, growls, and finally lights her up. She just laughs it off."

"What is this girl's issue?"

"You tell us!"

There was a loud knocking on the door, breaking Izuku away as the two of them kept talking. The rabbit opened the door and was immediately pulled into the strong arms of the prince. "Izuku! I am so sorry for today. I dragged her ass back to her fucking room right away and threatened her to stay far the fuck away from you from now on. I should have spoken up sooner but I was so mad and frozen in place. I'm so sorry."

The prince buried his face in green curls, holding his waist close in case this was the last chance he'd have. Izuku only hugged his shoulders back, a hand reaching up to hold the back of his head gently. "It's okay. I saw how mad you got at what she said."

Crimson eyes finally looked down at him. "You have to know that everything she said was all bullshit. You are the most beautiful and caring person I have ever met. I love the fact that you're my adorable little bunny. I love how down-to-earth you are, and the way you connect to the people around me, and being a commoner means fucking nothing to me. I want you, no one else."

Izuku smiled, his heart settling in his chest. His shoulders dropped the tension they held from earlier as the prince told him everything he wanted to hear. He put his hands on either side of Katsuki's face and grinned before pulling him in to kiss those soft lips. It was a kiss that made them both feel so much better. Katsuki pulled his slim hips closer to him, needing to have as much touch from his omega as possible.

When they pulled away, the prince pulled him back into his chest. "I'm sorry little bunny. She's just a crazy princess who doesn't know when to fucking give up."

"So I've heard."

They slowly pulled apart, the blonde raised a suspicious brow. Izuku only giggled, moving his door open wider for him to see who was in his house.

"Oi, get the fuck away from me!" Kirishima tried his prince impression again.

"No, his voice is way deeper." The other critiqued him.

The redhead puffed his chest out more. He opened his mouth, about to do it again. "Oi, why the fuck are you two here?"

"There you go! Mido's got it down to a pretty - Oh my god!" The beta nearly fell out of his seat when he noticed the prince was actually there.

"We found an upset rabbit on the street and walked him home. Is that a crime?" Kirishima teased.

"They've been telling me about Camie," Izuku admitted. The grip on his waist tightened as the prince sighed.

"I hate her, so fucking much. She's someone who keeps trying to be my mate but I have never even given her the time of day to think I'd want her in the same room as me. I can't stand that annoying bitch." He growled out.

"I am aware." Izuku giggled. "I'll protect you from her at the ball for sure."

Katsuki loved to hear he was coming, and more so to hear him tease him again. He pulled his omega closer to him, smiling from ear to ear. "My little bunny is going to keep me safe from the crazy lady?"

"Whatever you need." Izuku giggled back as he was pulled into a loving kiss. It was one to make him feel so much better.

"It's like we're invisible when Mido is around." Denki shrugged. It was met with the prince showing off his middle finger, making both his nobles gasp sarcastically.

They stayed for dinner, the rabbit making a stew they all enjoyed. As they sat around the table. Izuku went back to his thoughts from before. Even though the prince had told him he didn't care about his hybrid or his status, he couldn't help but keep thinking he was holding the blonde back from something better, someone worth it to him.

"Hey, you smell upset. What's wrong bunny?"

Izuku smiled at his alpha, loving when he called him bunny. "Just thinking about what to wear to the ball. It's my first one."

"Don't worry about it. Tomorrow my mother take you to a seamstress and they'll take care of everything. You're going to be looking perfect as always though." Katsuki smiled, knowing it was true. Never had his rabbit not been able to take his breath away. Izuku leaned over to kiss his shoulder before reaching for his empty water glass. The prince was quick to take it first. "I'll get it. Stay seated."

The blonde kissed the top of green curls and moved to fill the glass. One certain thing was the prince did care for Izuku, no one could deny that. As if he didn't think he could love this alpha more than he already does, Katsuki gives him a reason to.

A/N:
SHE TOTALLY SUCKS

Chapter Text

If there was one thing the prince was less than excited about, it was events like the one happening downstairs. Music could be heard from his room where he looked at himself in the mirror, feeling like a dressed-up doll. He wore his usual red cape, this time the tops of his shoulders and the ends had white fluffy fur sewn in. He wore a black leather vest with red designs on it. His black pants were a soft material, his boots shined, and his body was freshly washed so his spikes looked presentable. His mother insisted he also wears golden wrist cuffs with red rubies all around them to make him stand out as unmated for others to see. They were tight against his large wrist but, he could manage. As much as he hated the idea of putting himself on display, he didn't want to argue.

He let out a growl at his reflection before walking downstairs. The room erupted into cheers to see him as his friends and other suitors were happy to see him. He scanned the room and didn't see his guest of honor yet, so he took his seat near his mother. "You look nice Katsuki, smile. Maybe even try to enjoy yourself?"

He only rolled his eyes. He would enjoy the night, but not alone, and not with any of these extras.

A mother and her daughter approached their table. The girl looked down, not meeting any of their eyes as she trembled. Her mother on the other hand was standing proud. "Hello, King and Queen and Bakugo. I came with my daughter Miko, who is unmated and the most beautiful where we are from. She has many alphas after her, but she tells me your son, Prince Katsuki, is the most handsome she has ever seen."

"Nice to see you again Lady Mako. Your daughter is lovely." The king spoke his usual speech for stuff like this.

The lady pushed her daughter to stand in front of the prince. The girl finally looked up. She was average-looking, but a zero on the scale compared to his omega. "Nice to meet you, Prince Katsuki."

"Yeah." Was all he could manage to say as he scanned the room again. Once he spotted green curls and a freckled smile, he jumped from his seat and walked to him. He ignored the girl, even pushing some people out of the way to get to him. Once the rabbit spotted him, his smile only grew. "Hi, little bunny."

"Hi, Kacchan." Izuku breathed out nervously.

The prince was in awe of how amazing his rabbit looked. He wore the outfit the queen had picked for him. The white shirt was snug to the omega's torso but the sleeves puffed out. The back was cut low to reveal freckled shoulder blades. He wore emerald earrings the prince had gifted him, bringing out the shine in his eyes. He also wore the collar the prince gifted him, green and his crest on it as if sending a signal he was already taken. His tan pants were snug to his thighs, showing just how thick they were which made the prince only crave him more. Never had this rabbit looked more delicious than he did now.

"You look wonderful. I don't know how I am going to be able to look away from you tonight." Katsuki leaned down to take his small and scarred hand and kissed his knuckles before pulling the rabbit to his side. Izuku blushed madly, feeling like a special prize as the blonde held him. As they walked, people looked at who had captured the prince's attention. Others took a second glance at Izuku because of how beautiful he was. The blonde noticed the difference in glares, snarling and barring his fangs to anyone who examined aroused or for too long at his omega.

"Kacchan, I didn't think you'd dress so nice. I thought you hated these things." He tugged on the cape and put a finger on the handmade vest.

"I do, but a chance to dance with you will always be worth it." Izuku smiled wider, loving the praise as they took a seat at the table up front.

The king and queen chuckled, seeing their attempt at getting Katsuki to end up with someone with the same or similar status had not worked. It didn't matter though. They saw the look in their son's eyes when Izuku was in his sights. It was clear the prince found much more than his mate. Izuku was his reason for living, his motivation to breathe, and the love of his life. They would never dream of tearing the two of them apart for status, not when it was clear they had both found their perfect match. Plus, they both knew and adored Izuku already.

"You look so gorgeous tonight." The queen complimented the rabbit now seated next to her.

Izuku gasped as his face reddened. "A compliment from the most stunning person in the room. I am so lucky."

"Oh, you flatter me and speak the truth. Thank you, Izuku." She shrugged her one shoulder with a proud smirk.

People kept glancing at the omega on the prince's arm. Izuku was the best-looking omega in attendance and had the prince smiling instead of yelling like usual at these events. Soon, Katsuki pulled the rabbit to the dance floor and everyone needed to join them, to sneak a closer look, at a whiff of the stranger's scent. They needed to see if there was a mark on the omega, although he was with the prince, he was technically available to everyone else if there was no mark. The collar hid that secret from everyone, unfortunately.

When the dance was over, the king asked Katsuki to join him in greeting a few friends, prince duties. He groaned, not wanting to leave Izuku's side. Suddenly Shoto appeared. "I can keep watch of him while you go do what you need to. I promise to keep other hungry idiots away."

"Don't play any fucking games with me, half-and-half bastard."

"Bakugo, he is wearing your crest on his neck. I see he is not mine to claim. I cannot say the same for others who have been glaring at him all night." Shoto stated. Truthfully, he was a little upset the blonde had gotten to the rabbit first, but he was respectful enough to know when a heart wasn't his. The way Izuku looked at the blonde, no one else would be given the chance to sweep the rabbit off his feet. Even without a proper mark, the omega was spoken for, his heart, his soul, everything about him craved to be with the blonde alpha. "I promise you, I am the best person to keep watch. I am his friend."

"That's true. I'll be okay, Kacchan." Izuku nodded with a smile, leaning up to plant a small kiss on the blonde's cheek. Katsuki couldn't help but smile at his omega. He shot a quick glare to the bi-colored eye prince before turning to do his task. Izuku only giggled as Shoto and him began to dance. "Thank you. I see how some of these people look at me too, I didn't want to be left alone."

"I have been to enough of these to know leaving an omega, especially someone as appealing as you, alone to fend for yourself is essentially throwing meat to a pack of wolves," Shoto grunted. "Madness."

Izuku agreed as they danced before getting a drink together, as friends. The mutual understanding was clear between the two of them but that didn't stop them from flirting and complimenting each other. Shoto was impressed to hear of some of the courting gifts the prince had gifted him. He secretly took notes in his head for when he found someone.

Katsuki's skin itched the moment he stepped away from his omega. He didn't want to leave his side and more so leave him with Shoto who has expressed his interest in Izuku before. He rushed his greetings, shook hands a little too harshly, and didn't seem to be in the conversation much as he kept glancing over at his rabbit. He wanted to make sure no one got too close, and the bastard kept his word about protecting him from the others. He was an unmated omega, after all, every alpha here would be looking for him.

Once his father released him and told him to go, he stormed in the greenette's direction. He was interrupted but none other than Camie of course.

She stepped in front of him, blocking his way. Her eyes were red and puffy as if she had been crying. If it was anyone else in front of him, even a random nobody, he'd be a little bit more caring and curious as to what happened. Since it was her of all people, he tried to push her out of the way. "Honey bear, I need to talk to you."

"Don't fucking call me that, and no."

"Please! It's about my father!" He stopped in his tracks.

As much as Katsuki hated her, wanting nothing to do with her, her father was a good man. The king had been sent home the day before as he was starting to feel ill and he'd rather be sick in his kingdom. Camie and her mother stay for the ball and are prepared to leave in the morning. Because the prince held no grudge, no anger, nothing but remorse for who his daughter was, he turned to face her.

"You have five minutes." He pulled on her arm, dragging her into a hall, away from the party. "What about your father?"

Camie cried, the tears were real, maybe even the sobs but she'd faked crying in front of him before and it was nearly this convincing. "He sent a letter that the doctors don't think he'll make it. I am so worried. What would happen to my mother and I if something were to happen? I don't think I'm ready to be without him Katsuki."

She hugged the prince, and even though his crimson eyes rolled from the feeling of her anywhere on his skin, he patted her back in a very uncomfortable way. It was the best he could do for her. "Sorry to hear that. Your father is a good man and a good king. I hope he gets better."

His words were true.

Camie tugged on his wrist to hold her better. "Please, comfort me properly. My heart hurts and I am so scared about what is going to happen to my father. My poor sick father!"

Now it was beginning to become a show. Katsuki was tired of this and wanted to return to his omega. He tried to pull away from her but the bracelets on his wrist caught on her dress. The thick lace material on her sides was trapped between the gems. He struggled but it only pulled her along with it. "Camie, I'm stuck. Get your dress off of me."

He didn't like the girl, but he knew better than to ruin her dress in the middle of a ball. The blonde would never hear the end of it from his mother about his cruelty to women. She looked down to confirm what he said. He was very stuck on her but instead of trying to set herself free, she faked her concern as it looked like he was holding her sides. The prince made a fist, holding his hands out to not actually have to touch her. "You don't have to make up lies honey bear, you can just feel free to hold me if you'd like."

"No Camie, I am stuck on your dress. Unless you want me to ruin this for you to return to the ball for everyone to see your skin, get it the fuck off me because I couldn't care less." He grunted out, trying to pull once more.

In the corner of his eye, he watched her look around, giggling about something even while the blonde worked on getting himself free. "Oh, honey bear!"

She wrapped her arms around his broad shoulders and kissed him against his will. Katsuki tried to pull away or push her off, but the bracelets were stuck. She tried pushing her tongue into his mouth and that's when he lost it. The alpha pulled his hands away from her, ripping the material worse than planned. He also pushed her, hard enough to send her flying and landing on her ass. "I said to never touch me again. Now, don't you ever get near me or my omega ever again. I won't hesitate to burn you to nothing."

The prince was furious. She, someone who had already upset him and his rabbit so much, had forced herself on him to kiss him. It made his blood boil. Nothing would make him feel better right now than to see his omega.

He wiped his mouth furiously, getting her germs off his face. He quickly scanned the room until Sero spotted him. For the first time in his life, his noble looked mad at him. "What's your fucking problem?"

"Right now, you." This sentence shocked the alpha more than pissed him off. When did he get so bold?

"Excuse me?"

"Don't give me that. We were rooting for you two! Kiri, Denks, myself, and even your mom were hoping this would be it and you'd become a better person. But no! You had to screw it all up!"

"What the fuck are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about you sucking face with that witch while you're courting the adorable, lovable, and someone we all like better than you, Midoriya!" Sero shouted at him, poking his chest.

"She just forced herself on me! I didn't kiss her!"

The beta paused, his eyes widening. "Really? You didn't just kiss her?"

"No! I hate her remember?" Katsuki growled out, this conversation going nowhere. "I'm so pissed off. Where the hell is Deku anyway?"

"Uh, I have no idea how to tell you this but," Sero looked at the ground, then at the prince, struggling to get the words out. He took a deep breath. "Midoriya saw you kissing her and ran out. He told me what happened and when I offered to walk him home, he said to just leave him alone."

Another night with Izuku was ruined by something that bitch did. "Help me find him, now!"

A/N
Let's pretend for a moment that going to a ball also meant clubbing at 11 pm.

Chapter Text

Izuku struggled to breathe as he ran past everyone. He ignored the looks, the whispers, the offers to take him home, and the hands that tried to reach out and grab him. When Sero saw him he knew the beta would follow him home if he didn't say what had happened and ask to be alone. All he said was he had caught Katsuki kissing Camie and he wanted to go home before rushing off. Right now he ran.

He ran through the streets which at this hour were mostly empty. His lungs burned and his chest hurt. Soon his legs gave out and he fell to his knees. Izuku tore the collar off his neck. It felt like it was suffocating him and he didn't wear the crest right now, nor after what he had seen. Instead, he balled his fist into the dirt and tried to control his breathing. He stayed there, clutching his chest until the sound of hooves on the dirt caught his attention. "Are you alright?"

Shoto stepped off his horse and helped the rabbit to his feet. "Yes. I'm just - It's been a rough night."

"I can tell." The bi-colored-eyed prince looked around at no one once with them. "Let me walk you home. I'd hate for you to be left out of this. I don't think I'd be able to sleep properly if I were to leave you out here by yourself."

Izuku nodded, not wanting to argue. Shoto guided the upset rabbit to his horse, lifting him onto the saddle so he could lead the way as the prince walked beside the beast. The omega was confused at his emotions for sure, not sure what to think or say at this point. "Thank you."

"As I said, we're friends." Izuku gave him a kind smile. "You can tell what happened, and I'll listen. But I understand if you don't want to say. I can suspect it had something to do with the friend we have in common. He didn't reject you did he?"

"No, he didn't. We just - Well he got caught up in doing something else, but we are still courting." Izuku wasn't so sure that was true anymore.

"That's good." The prince forced it out. He half meant it and was sad to know the blonde idiot had already hurt the rabbit.

Izuku didn't want to talk about it. He put his collar back on just so his scent didn't encourage any wondering alphas to come find him. They walked in silence to his home. As he was about to get down, he shook his head. Katsuki would come looking for him and he wasn't ready to see the traitor yet. "Actually, could you take me to a friend's house?"

"Wherever you'd like to be tonight. I just want to know you arrive there safely." Another friendly smile was exchanged as they walked only a few more blocks to Uraraka's house. Shoto helped the rabbit down to his feet. The prince tucked a curl behind his ear and made sure his eyes were on him. "Please, feel free to write to me if you need anything."

"I will. Thank you, Shoto." They shared a quick hug before the rabbit walked up to the pinkish door and knocked.

Uraraka opened it and was shocked to see him. "Izuku? What's wrong? What happened?"

Tears swelled in his eyes again as he held his arms around himself. "Can I stay with you tonight?"

She nodded, rushing him inside. As soon as the door was shut, the rabbit crashed onto her floor as great sobs left his mouth.

Uraraka had thought he might've been attacked again but she listened carefully to what had transpired tonight. Izuku had been so excited for the ball. It was his first one ever, his first public appearance on the prince's arm other than walking in the town together, and he was looking forward to dancing with the blonde. It was a wonderful night that only got better the longer it went on. Katsuki eventually had business to attend to and later on, someone came to Izuku and told him the prince was looking for him. The stranger told him which hall he had walked down and when he turned the corner, the prince was holding her waist and kissing her. He had to run away immediately.

How could he have been so dumb to think this would last? Everything he had said to him a couple of days ago about not caring about status, him being the only one, it was all a lie. Deep down he knew that the prince might eventually get bored of him and realize he was wasting his time with a dumb bunny like him. Never did he think it would hurt this badly. He loved the prince, truly. In these few months, the blonde had shown traits of someone Izuku wanted to spend the rest of his life with. Now, what was he to think?

He wondered if the nobles put together those stories on purpose to help him cover up his affair with her to the rabbit. Affair? Technically, wouldn't Izuku be the mistress in this scenario? Camie was the royal, the obvious choice for him to pick. Izuku was a filthy commoner he had on the side for fun and make-out sessions.

Uraraka had helped him into bed hours ago but his mind wouldn't let him sleep. So, as quietly as he could, he walked outside in the middle of the night. He wanted to clear his head, to breathe in fresh air. The rabbit had spaced out and walked further than he had planned.

A large figure landed in front of him, scaring him. He thought maybe it was the prince looking for him, but it was only Kirishima. "Mido! Thank god I found you."

"I have nothing to say to you, or any of you right now." The rabbit had watery eyes already, but now it took everything in him not to let them fall. He turned on his heels, back to Uraraka's.

"Wait, you don't understand." Kirishima pleaded, grabbing the rabbit's wrist. Izuku ripped himself from the noble, not wanting to be anywhere near any of them.

"I understood plenty. When someone kisses another person, it sends a clear message of what is happening."

Izuku tried to turn back away. "It was a setup!"

Emerald eyes looked back to the noble face. "What?"

"Listen, we told you she was crazy, psycho, insane, and tried to pull stunts in the past. This is one of those times." The redhead looked like he was begging for Izuku to understand. When the omega didn't move. He went on. "Camie told one of her guards to come get you in a few minutes and then she asked to talk to Bakugo privately about her dad. She pulled Bakugo to her and made his hands get stuck on her dress so it looked like he was holding her, then she saw you coming around the corner and forced a kiss on him. She wanted you to see them. Midoriya, I promise you it was a setup. Bakubro, he isn't that guy and there is no way he'd do something like that to you. We weren't kidding the other night when we told you how much he liked you and disliked her. You gotta believe me."

Izuku thought about it. That made more sense than what he had thought was going on. Never did he think the alpha was capable of doing something like this which was why it hurt so extensively.

"Is he mad I ran away?" Izuku sniffled, wiping his eyes.

Kirishima only let out a breath he was holding. He stood up straight while he gave a blinding sharp-toothed grin and relaxed. "No, but he is worried as hell. He thinks you are done with him. I've never seen a guy so panicked in my life. He practically kicked the three of his nobles outside to go out and find you. I have the boot print on my ass to prove it to you if you want me to show you?"

The alpha turned around and held his pants to act as if he'd pull them down which only made Izuku laugh.

"No, I believe you." The greenette took a deep breath. He looked back at the large castle and sighed. "I'm not ready to see him just yet. I have a few things to work out in my head before I can confidently talk to him about what happened. I don't want to end this, I care about him a lot."

Kirishima slowly walked over and hugged his small rabbit friend. Izuku leaned into it, seeing the redhead as a good friend of his. "Of course. I'll tell him I found you and that you know what happened. Can I also tell him you'll come to see him first thing tomorrow?"

The greenette wipes his eyes once more as he suddenly feels so much better. He let go of the noble and nodded. "Yeah, I'll be there. Thank you, Kiri. It means a lot to me you told me."

"Of course, you're our Mido! Also, if I can be one hundred percent honest," he looked around to make sure no one was listening. "Bakubro is in a way better mood nowadays when you're around. I don't think we could go back to the grumpy and sulking version he was in before."

Izuku laughed again. The day he arrived at the castle to find him brooding in his chair proved that theory correct.

"Okay, thanks again." He turned back to return to his friend's house.

"Do you want me to walk you home?"

"No, I'll be okay. You should get back and tell him I'm found so he calms down. I'll be there as soon as I wake up in the morning."

"Okay. See you tomorrow man!"

Kirishima sprouted his wings and flew off towards the grand building. Izuku watched him fly off.

The rabbit walked alone, back to Uraraka's. He'd wait to tell her the good news in the morning and run to his alpha. He already missed him so much and felt so bad for what he was thinking about him earlier. Of course, it wasn't real.

Chapter Text

Fear and panic were all the dragon could feel all night. Kirishima found him back in the castle, pacing the room as he tried to talk with Denki about the places they hadn't searched yet. Sero came in huffing and puffing to tell them he didn't find him. When the redhead said he did, a wave of relief washed over them all, but it was replaced by fear soon enough. Although the fellow alpha explained it was a setup, why did he need more time? The prince wanted to see him and he wanted to see him right now, not tomorrow morning.

"Did he look upset? Scared? What the hell is going on in his head?" Katsuki pressured his friend to speak while they gathered in the lounge room. The ball downstairs was only just now starting to slowly disperse.

Kirishima let out a heavy sigh as he shook his head. "I don't know. He was relieved to know you didn't actually kiss her, and that the whole thing was fake. But-"

He tried to think of how to tell his friend what the rabbit had looked like in the streets a moment ago. He had been thinking pretty hard about something but from the looks of it, he was stuck in his head. That was never a good thing. As much as he would have loved to calm everyone in the room, to tell the red-in-the-face blonde in front of him that everything was fine was on his way here, something told him not to lie about what he had seen and heard from him.

"But what?"

"But he seemed like he was still having doubts." Katsuki paused. Doubts? About him? About their relationship? What the hell could there possibly be to doubt? "I think he was already starting to think that maybe you being a prince and him a commoner was a bad idea, but now after what Camie said to him the other day and seeing you two kiss, even if it was fake, it's getting to him. He told me he didn't want the two of you to be over but there was something about the way he said it. Maybe I just don't know him as well as you do but, to me, there was a deep and heavy thought in his head that was plaguing him."

Katsuki could only nod. His body felt hot, sweaty, and light as he moved to sit in his chair. He didn't want to believe what he was hearing or admit that he also noticed the looks the rabbit had been giving him the last couple of days. He had been meaning to ask if the rabbit was okay but, planning and helping put it together for his mother had gotten in the way of it all. He missed Izuku, more than he had ever missed someone before.

"At least he promised to be here first thing in the morning! And the three of us will be here waiting the entire time. We will be right here with you until he shows up to make sure you're okay. Right guys?" Kirishima eyed the other two in the room. They didn't like the idea but knew it was for the best.

"Yeah. Right here. All night long." Denki said, putting his head on his arms crossed on the table in front of him.

"Why don't we play some games to distract ourselves? Come on Bakugo, we all know you love a good round of poker." Sero tried to lighten the mood, seeing and smelling the distress coming from his friend. Again, Katsuki could only nod as he moved in closer.

Kirishima and Sero did most of the talking as the night progressed. Chatting from one thing to another. Denki went from snacking to drinking to snacking again, before falling asleep on a nearby sofa. Katsuki, stayed silent the entire night. He looked at the window, the door, and his cards, and tried to do work to get his mind off his rabbit but nothing worked. He was concerned for his omega and something in his gut wasn't sitting right with him. Something was telling him to go out there and find him.

Kirishima didn't tell them where he was or where he was staying since the first place the prince checked was his home. It was dark and empty and slightly smelled like Shoto which pissed him off. He had found the prince later in the night who said he had taken him to a friend's house but didn't remember where as he had gotten lost on his way back to his room for the night. He usually came up the main road and didn't wander in the kingdom. But he had promised he was safe. If only those were encouraging words for right now.

******

By the time the sun was up, the prince grew more and more restless. Hours passed, and nothing. He was getting upset, frustrated, and even angry he had been waiting for so long. By almost noon he grabbed his cape and threw it over his shoulders. His boots echoing in the room woke the three nobles who were all asleep in various parts of the room.

"Hey, where are you going? Is Mido here?" Kirishima asked, removing a playing card from his face which he fell asleep on while playing solitaire.

"No, and that's the fucking problem. I'm going to go looking for him." Katsuki spoke through gritted teeth. The feeling in his gut, the urge to make sure he was okay was getting stronger and beginning to turn into actual pain.

"Wait, he told you he'd come here when he woke up. Maybe he's taking some extra time. I told you he was pretty upset last night." The redhead tried to warn him, shoving Sero up to wake him before following the prince into the hall.

Sero threw a book at the other beta to wake him up and motioned for him to follow as they quickly ran to catch up with the prince. "Where do we even start looking?"

"Don't care, but I can't just sit here waiting around anymore." Katsuki shoved the doors open and got down a couple of steps before Kirishima finally turned his shoulder around.

"I know you want to see him and I know you want to talk to him and check on him, but he asked for a little more time. I just want to remind you of that before you storm down there with this murderous look in your eye and do something stupid."

Kirishima had a point. He was upset, and he did want to hit something, but all that was because he needed to make sure he was okay. As soon as he would see the little omega, everything would be better.

Katsuki shook his head. "Eijiro, you don't understand. I need to find him now. I have a feeling."

The nobles all widened their eyes. He never called any of them by their actual names. They also know that when the prince gets these feelings, they are usually for good reason. He got a gut feeling to check on his mother one time to find she had passed out from being sick alone. If he hadn't come to find her, she might've been lying in her office for hours without anyone knowing or disturbing her. Another time he felt an urge to go see the kingdom forest to discover it was on fire. Luckily it hadn't been that way for long and was easy to put out by the time he and some others got there to help.

When Kirishima heard the prince tell him he had a feeling, everything changed.

"Please! You have to let me talk to the prince! He has to know that Izuku is missing!" Katsuki recognized that voice. He looked over to see the brunette girl he knew was his omega's friend. Ura- something. It was an off day so these weren't the usual guards to greet the rabbit meaning they didn't know her or who Izuku was. Although they would know as soon as Katsuki raised his wings and flew to her right away. "Prince Katsuki!"

"You said Izuku was missing? Since when?"

She took a deep breath. Uraraka had been searching for him all morning in the town and to hear from the guards that a rabbit hadn't come through here yet was alarming. Her face was red from being all over the place already and the worry feeling she felt all over. "He showed up at my house last night to tell me what happened at the ball to make him leave early. Which is why this is the last place I'm checking. I am very upset with you so far."

"Wait, he didn't tell you what genuinely happened when he got back?" Kirishima stepped forward.

"Back? Back from what?" She raised a brow.

"I found him walking outside on the street. I told him then that it was all fake and a setup from Camie. You're telling me he never made it back to your house?" The noble questioned.

"I didn't know he went on a walk. He was alone?"

"Why didn't you walk him home?" Katsuki growled out.

"He didn't want me to! I offered but he said he wanted me to get back to you as soon as possible so you'd know he was okay."

"This isn't good!" Uraraka shouted. "Izuku always tells someone where he is going if he leaves the kingdom. I stopped at his house which was empty, I stopped and asked Iida who hadn't heard anything, I didn't have a note, and even Prince Shoto who dropped him off at my house last night hadn't seen or heard from him. Now you're telling me he isn't here and he was alone in the streets last night? Someone must have taken him!"

"Now hold on!" Sero tried to interrupt the panic. "What if he's just taking some more time to think? I know when I think about something, it tends to take a while."

"Izuku isn't dumb. He knows he is an unmated, omega, rabbit. Even when he had a delivery outside of the walls, he told someone about it to check on him later. Since he hadn't done any of those things, that means he wasn't planning on leaving." Uraraka stated.

Katsuki took it all in. "Soy Sauce, tell my parents Izuku is missing and we are working on finding him. Guards, keep a lookout for a green-haired rabbit and send the word out about him to the others as he is my omega. Dunce, search the kingdom walls. Ura - uh urah"

"Uraraka."

"Yeah, you keep looking and get as many as your friends to spread out. Shitty Hair, take me to the place you found him."

"Of course."

Everyone went their way to do their task at hand. Katsuki had taken charge so easily. Years of planning to be king were revealing themselves as he delegated and made sure everyone had a part in trying to find his omega. Deep down though, he was shaking in thought of what could have happened. So much time had passed between when Kirishima came back from talking to him and right now. Izuku could be anywhere right now.

When they landed, everything looked normal. The redhead again retold the story of finding him and how he started to walk back to his friend's house. Katsuki walked in that direction, smelling the air, trying to find his rabbit.

Soon, there was a distressed scent in the air. It was faint, meaning it happened some time ago. He and the redhead moved to an alleyway. Things were knocked over, scratches on the wall. A fight had occurred here for sure and that fact he could smell burnt mint meant Izuku was in trouble here was not making him feel any better. The end of the ally was a small road that hardly anyone else seemed to be using. Across the road was an entrance to the kingdom along the wall. After talking to the guards about a rabbit and who they were looking for, one of the guards shifted awkwardly.

Katsuki wasn't taking any chances. He grabbed the guard by the throat, pinning him to the wall. "Tell me what you fucking know, right now."

The guard shook and tried to make the prince let go but the rage in the blonde only made him stronger. "A group of men, four of them. They carried him on the back of their horse tied and gagged and said he had a bounty in another kingdom."

"Did they show you proof of this?" The guard didn't say anything. The hand holding the stranger's throat started to heat up, making him burn. "Did they?"

"No!"

Katsuki dropped him, allowing him to breathe. "Omegas have been going missing, and you allow someone to be taken from this kingdom without checking their proof first?"

"I'm sorry! I didn't-"

"Where did they go?"

"They said something about a meet-up near the river. That's everything I know, I swear!"

The blonde eyed him. The guard is now on his knees and begging. Katsuki looked him up and down, seeing he was a young kid. But that was no excuse for letting his omega get taken. "Shitty Hair, take him to the castle, I'll chat with him later."

"What about you?"

"I have a rabbit to find."

A/N:
Aw fuck, you dun messed with the wrong rabbit!!
(Commentary like I wasn't the one to write this shit)🤷‍♀️

Chapter Text

Izuku tried to fight against the restraints. His wrist hurt and his jaw ached from the cloth tied too tight around his head. They had ridden all night long to get to this house in the middle of nowhere with Izuku on his stomach on the back of a saddle like a carcass. The four men with him were greeted by two from inside. They were all betas, all had some scarring on them likely from fights in the past. One guy pulled Izuku down and dropped him to the ground. He landed on his shoulder and hissed in pain.

"Aw, sorry about that, forgot we had to wrangle you up pretty good." He chuckled proudly to himself. The greenette had fought and growled at them the moment one of them touched him. Because they had seen him run so fast, they didn't want to risk him doing it again so they tied his ankles, knees, and wrist together. There was also a heavy rope tied around his upper arms to be able to carry him. All of it was tight, burned, and hurt. He still tried to wiggle free of any restraints and make a run for it but the man jerked him around. "Enough! Dammit, you're pissing me off a little and that will only end badly for you, I fucking swear. Now, let's get you inside."

The man threw him into a tiny room, this time the rabbit had just enough time to catch himself on his feet. Emerald eyes looked back and glared at the two men in the room with him now. It took everything in him not to fill the space with his distressed scent as he focused on his anger with their treatment.

"We're gonna cut you loose now, but listen here if you so much as flinch, I'll cut that pretty skin of yours. Got it?" The man held a knife, a big one. It was pointed at Izuku while the other man held an identical blade. The omega wasn't dumb. He saw there was no use for him to take on them both and then the other four outside the room who had gathered around a table to play cards. He didn't say anything, just held his wrist out. "Sit down."

Another growl escaped him from them pushing him. He sat on the edge of a small bed. The only other thing in the room was a side table with a glass of water.

He sat and allowed them to cut the rope around his wrist, gag, arms, and knees. He motioned to his ankles and they laughed. "We aren't fools rabbit, those stay on until our guest arrives."

They both snickered again before shutting the door with the sound of several locks being latched.

Guest? Who is their guest? Why are they being so smug about it? None of it sat well with Izuku. He glanced around, trying to find a means to escape. There was a small window in the corner above the bed. It might have been big enough to climb out of if there weren't iron bars across it. A sigh escaped him as he glanced down at himself.

He still wore his outfit from the ball so his back was exposed against the rope that was just taken off. He could feel the heat burn when he rolled his shoulders. They took his earrings that he loved so much, and his beautiful clothes were now dirty from the attack and torn in some places from their fight. They kept his collar on but reaching up, he could feel a tear in the leather. All his hard work from the day before to look presentable and shine was wasted now. A lot of his efforts from the last few weeks felt wasted. Yes, he was aware now that it was all fake, but he couldn't help but think the prince was mad at him for running off even though he was moments from screaming at that moment.

Izuku sat back on the bed, his back to the wall and his knees pulled to his chest. He listened to the small mumbling and muffled conversation of the men talking about him. Some of it was about his scent, liking it or criticizing it as if it was theirs to have a say on. They moved on to ask when the guy was gonna be here and they all had no clue. The stress and anxiety from waiting for someone were making his head spin. None of it compared to his anxiety about getting out of here alone. He had never been taken this far, never trapped in a room with so many bigger men before. He hated how helpless he felt.

The omega had run from his alpha a second time before he had the chance to explain what happened. He even promised he'd be there first thing in the morning and that turned out to be a lie, and now Katsuki was probably so mad at him, he didn't care if he ever showed his face to him again. The only bit of hope he had was that Uraraka would try to look for him but, then again, how was she or anyone else able to find him here? It was useless for him to think about other people, to depend on their help right now. No, the rabbit was alone, stranded, and taken from the only home he knew. It was up to him to get back, but then again was it worth it? Izuku didn't think he could go on with his daily life without his blonde alpha. Even if he wasn't mad, the prince had to be getting fed up with having to save him all the time by now.

The dungeon, the man who chased him, and now this. Surely this would be a deal breaker for anyone. Of course, any alpha or potential mate would see him as troublesome, useless against his own, and weak. He thought that of himself now.

The sun started to fade from the window as the sky was now a light orange and a shadow cast inside the room. It was this time that there was louder chatting outside after what seemed like another horse approaching. Some men stood, their chairs scraping on the wood floors as they greeted their guests. Others only said hi and made minimal talk to whoever had arrived. Footsteps got closer and Izuku stood, hopping to the wall to add more space between them. After hearing the locks unlatch, the door swung open. A new man entered the room, an alpha. From what the rabbit could tell, he was a strong guy, a mountain lion hybrid. His yellow eyes looked him up and down, making emerald eyes glare harder.

"This one is a beauty! Good job boys."

This one? By the looks of the room and their location, it was clear this was a whole operation but how many others had come this way? Who was this man?

"Thank you, sir. As always, we'll be waiting outside until you're done." The man who locked him in here before took a wad of money from the new stranger before giving a final chuckle to the rabbit and shutting the door between him, leaving them alone.

"They lock the front door, in case you're thinking of escaping." The man smirked, taking another longing look at the greenette who shook against the wall. He raised his hands, palms out. "I'm gonna untie your ankles, okay? Promise not to hurt me?"

The way he said it was like a joke. Of course, Izuku was going to fight him, he knew that too. Izuku did allow him to use his claws to cut into the knot and free him. Right away the rabbit lifted a knee and tried to connect it to his face but the man was quick and caught his thigh. He squeezed the rabbit's leg, hurting him as he held in a whimper from the pain. The greenette bared his fangs, growling instead. The man only chuckled. Quickly the alpha tore at the remaining material of the omega's shirt so it exposed his chest and stomach. Yellow eyes raked over the body below him like a meal presented on a platter.

"Oh, wow. You sure are the best-looking omega I've had." He lifted a hand to try to touch the rabbit's face but was swatted away.

"Don't touch me. I have an alpha." Izuku spat through gritted teeth.

"Uh-huh. You mean this little thing is supposed to keep me from touching you?" A claw came up to play with the collar Katsuki had gifted him. It was his favorite thing the alpha had given him so far. When the man in front of him cut through it and tore it from his neck, Izuku whimpered. It landed on the floor below and he couldn't help the tears that gathered in his eyes from seeing it lay there, ruined. "How cute. Now, be a good little boy for your new alpha."

The man grabbed his neck, pushing him towards the bed. Izuku yelped from the claws digging into his nape as his shins hit the frame and sent him falling onto the mattress. He quickly tried to sit back up but the alpha climbed on top of him and pinned his wrist down, sitting on his knees so he couldn't move his legs. Izuku was in full distress now. Tears fall down his face as this man proves over and over again that the rabbit is smaller and weaker. The alpha pressed himself against Izuku's ass, letting him feel the hard cock through their clothes. The omega tries to fight anyway, not wanting to give up on being with Katsuki, even if it means seeing him one more time before the blonde tells him he's not worth it anymore. Just once, one more time before the rabbit can say he gives up.

"You've got a lot of fight in you, don't you? I like that. I like it when there's a struggle." He leaned down, licking the rabbit's ear and down to his neck. Panic took over as he pulled a hand free to punch the man. It barely fazed him as he wiped his mouth with a smirk. "That was a good one. Unfortunately for you, it'll be the only hit you get in."

The alpha slapped the greenette, making his ears ring. His hand then moved the omega's thigh, clawing at his pants to tear them, cutting into his leg as well. Izuku screamed as loud as he could, hoping someone outside might hear, also hoping maybe it would make him stop. Instead, the alpha changed hands to hold his wrist as he did the same to his other thigh. Another scream filled the room as he moved to roll over. He managed to knee the alpha between his legs, making him double over. It gave the rabbit enough time to lift a leg and kick him. The man fell to the floor.Izuku ran out of the room. As he had been warned, the front door was locked. He quickly looked around to see knives in the kitchen. He grabbed the biggest one in time for the man to walk in. Izuku pointed the blade at him. His hands were shaking, his lungs and legs burning, and his tears made his vision blur but he stood his ground. The man came closer, stalking the rabbit with deep yellow eyes never leaving the shaking and bleeding body.

"Don't be dumb. Drop the knife and give in to your alpha."

"You're not my alpha!" Izuku shouted with everything in him. "My alpha is Prince Katsuki of the Crimson Kingdom."

The man let out a full laugh now, leaning his head back as well. He raised a brow and smirked, pointing at the omega. "You? I'll admit you're good-looking, and rabbits are the best for breeding, that's certainly why I paid to fuck you, but what use would a prince get out of you other than a good lay?"

"He loves me."

"Aw, I'm so touched. Now stop fucking around!" He elongated his fangs, showing he was getting more angry with having to wait for what he came here for. He lunched himself at the rabbit who sliced at his arm, cutting him deep. Yellow eyes looked down at the cut, blood gushing from it. Soon, an overpowering alpha scent of something rotten filled the entire house. Whoever this alpha was, he was furious now.

Izuku waited for another attack as he held the knife out. There was a loud thud from outside that shook the home's walls. It caught the rabbit's attention as he thought it sounded familiar. There was some shouting but no windows to see what was going on. While he was distracted, the yellow-eyed alpha punched the rabbit's cheek. He fell over and the knife flew across the floor.

Izuku was terrified as he stared at the man standing above him, then the blade halfway across the floor. He made another glance at the man before scurrying on his hands and knees to the weapon.

"Oh no you don't!" Hands gripped his ankles and pulled the rabbit back inches from reaching the handle. He grunted, trying to turn over to face his attacker but the man pinned his chest to the floor as he sat on his legs again. Claws sunk themselves into the omega's back to keep him still, making him let out a yelp of pain. Izuku panted, this position left him vulnerable and slightly exposed. His hands quickly covered his neck from being marked. "Move!"

He tried to peel the hands back, wanting to mark him as his omega, leaving him no choice. "No! I'm not yours!"

"The fuck you are. I paid good money for you!"

He clawed and gripped at his hands, but Izuku held on tighter. Getting upset, the man bit at his arm, a fang connecting hard with his wrist. Izuku could feel his teeth sink into his skin and scrape his bone. He couldn't help it as another scream escaped him while his body thrashed around and even begged the floor to give out and hide him. This only made the alpha bit into him harder. Izuku's eyes closed, unable to move out thinking about what to do with the pain while he screamed again.The front door hitting the wall caught the man's attention, putting a pause on the assault. Izuku's head was turned away so he couldn't see who had walked in.

"Who the fuck are you?"

Boots against the floor were heavy enough that the rabbit felt it in his chest as they came closer. He let out a whimper when the man above him removed his claws from the back.

"I'm his alpha, and I'm here to kill you."

Chapter Text

Another shrieking scream came from inside the house, making the prince's blood only boil over as he grabbed the last of the henchmen who were all sitting outside, and used his hands to burn into his chest, killing him. All the others were burned too, lying lifeless on the ground now from his hand. When he heard yet another scream, he dropped the body in front of him and ran to the house. A large boot connected to the door, breaking it from the wall and sending it across the room. Crimson eyes looked around to find his rabbit pinned to the ground, bleeding and hurting as some bastard bit into his wrist. The room was filled with dominance pheromones, likely trying to get the squirming greenette to submit to him.

Izuku's face was turned so the dragon couldn't see him, making the dragon wonder what his full condition was. But he couldn't think about that yet. The man turned to look at the crimson eyes, scowling as he did so.

"Who the fuck are you?"

The man pulled claws from the back of the omega under him, making him whimper. Katsuki didn't think he could be any angrier than this moment, but seeing the condition of his omega, his rabbit, his love like this, and the man who caused it still sitting on him, likely pushing a dick into his unwilling ass? Wrath and fury were an understatement for what he felt as he crossed the room.

"I'm his alpha, and I'm here to kill you."

The yellow-eyed alpha stood to try and defend himself but it was worthless. When he tried to punch the prince, his fist was caught and his wrist turned so hard the sound of bones cracking nearly echoed in the small room. He shouted out in anger and misery, falling to his knees as he looked up at the dragon with pleading eyes.

"Please, I'll never show my face here again. Let me go." Crimson eyes looked back to his rabbit. Izuku now had his back to the wall, knees tucked into his chest as he held himself. It hurt to see and only added fuel to the fire he was already feeling. The rabbit looked so defeated, exhausted, and terrified. He widened his eyes at the blonde holding the man who attacked him and attempted to have his way with him. The man looked between the two. "I didn't know he was seeing anyone! Please! He's unmarked so I thought he was a free game!"

The man lied, trying to see another day. The greenette didn't say anything, just sat there in shock. Katsuki lowered his voice, trying to calm his omega. "Look away, Izuku. You don't want to see this."

Right away the rabbit tucked his face into his arms and crossed across his ankles to pull himself into a small ball. The man looked up at the dragon, understanding he was serious about coming here to kill him.

"Wait! No! I didn't know! I swear! Don't do this." He begged, clinging to the terrifying blonde before him.

Katsuki didn't care, he had two goals in his head. One was checking on his omega, the other was killing this random man and he had to do one before the other. His hand gripped the stranger's throat, pulling him up to where his toes barely touched. The red in the prince's eyes glowed as his hands heated up with his fire. The yellow-eyed alpha managed to yell out for mercy and a mixture of pain as his throat and chest only burned hotter and hotter. Unlike the others, burning his chest wasn't enough. Instead, the blonde's large hand squeezed, burning through flesh, through muscle, through tendons. Katsuki is holding him by the spine now, watching the life drain from his eyes before his body stops fighting and goes limp as death finally takes him. As soon as it was clear the attacker was dead, the prince dropped his body with a thud, making the omega in the corner jump.

"Keep your eyes closed."

Izuku didn't answer, just kept his head down as he listened to the prince drag a body into a different room so he didn't have to witness what his alpha had done. Katsuki knew he had a side of him that could be this dark, that could rage through a group of people like they were nothing as he just did, and he also knew he'd use it to his advantage to protect the trembling rabbit in front of him.

The prince leaned down. As soon as his fingertips touched on the omega below him he recoiled into himself. It was hard to watch as his alpha and someone who cared so much about him. It was even more heartbreaking as the blonde had no idea what happened, what he was in time for, what he prevented, or what he was too late for. Seeing Izuku's condition only pissed him off more to think he was too late for what he was seeing already. His clothes were torn to shred, scratches, cuts, and bruises all over. If he was already this roughed up, what other things happened he can't see right now? His mind wondered as he watched his poor greenette shake and pull away from him, his Kacchan of all people.

"Izuku, it's just me now. No one else is here. No one is gonna hurt you."

Emerald eyes slowly looked up, watery, and not sure what he was looking at. Slowly, Katsuki reached out but as soon as his arms opened, his omega jumped into them, allowing his body to be swallowed by the much bigger dragon.

"Kacchan! I'm sorry I ran. I'm sorry I got scared and ran away from you." Izuku's sobs tore into the blonde's chest, ripping it open to his bleeding heart as his hold on the rabbit only tightened.

"It's okay little bunny. It wasn't your fault and I don't blame you for what you did. I am just so glad you're okay and in one piece. I had never been so worried or so scared in my life. I couldn't find you and had no idea where to even start searching for you until I picked up on your scent. It was almost gone by the time I got it." Crimson eyes also spilled over, the joy of finding his omega alive overwhelming him.

There were soft sniffles, but none of them made any movement from where they sat on the floor. Izuku was curled into the blonde's lap, strong legs encircling him as arms engulfed him. Even though he was still shaking and his entire body was throbbing in pain, the greenette settled into the hold, his temple against a wide chest. "I didn't think you were coming."

Katsuki hesitated but his eyes shot open wide. Slowly as to not startle him, the alpha pulled a chin up to look down at a freckled face, stained with tears as more threatened to fall. "Why the hell wouldn't I come look for you?"

"I ran away. This isn't the first time you've had to save me. I figured you'd be getting sick of me by now and want to find somebody else. And after seeing you kiss her, maybe you realized you did like her and she'd be the better choice." Those emerald eyes held complete seriousness and sadness as he spoke.

It pained the alpha deeply to think he had been having these thoughts the entire time. If the dragon had known, he would have shut them down a long time ago. Glimpsing back on it and how he might have been acting since Camie said those things to him, the prince just wanted to hit himself for not seeing it sooner. He wished he had helped his omega sooner. Although it might've been too late now, hopefully, it would help him now.

Katsuki held the small freckled face in his hands. He stared into those captivating eyes. His thumb pushed a tear out of the way as he forced a smile.

"Izuku, you are the most important person to me. Never have I ever met or will I ever meet someone who I care so much about. If I have to save you once a week, I will. If I have to remind you of your worth to me every day, I will. If I have to tell you every single day that I love you, because I do," the rabbit let his tears over at the confession. How the blonde looked at him with a soothing expression, was everything he needed to feel better. "Then I'll tell you every day."

"Kacchan." Izuku leaned up, carefully kissing the soft lips of the only man he'd ever wanted in his life, the only one he'd welcomed into his heart, and the only one he'd ever said these words to. "I love you too."

They stayed, just a few moments before the prince removed his cape and wrapped it around his rabbit. Carefully, not knowing the full extent of his injuries, the blonde pulled Izuku into his arms and lifted him.

"Let's get you home, and have a doctor see you."

"No. I don't want anyone else to see me or touch me."

"Izuku, you're injured,"

"I don't care. I only want you around me right now." Izuku nuzzled his face into the neck of the prince holding him. He was begging and pouting at the same time. It was apparent whatever had happened had done a serious number on him.

"Okay, I'll take care of you myself." Katsuki gave a small kiss to the top of green curls before he stepped outside and let his wings take them away.

******

As soon as Katsuki opened the doors, all three nobles and his parents were gathered around and talking about what to do next and where they might be. When they spotted the prince carrying the greenette who was wrapped in the cape, they rushed to greet them. They each started to ask how he was, what happened, and everything else. Izuku tensed in his arms so the prince growled at them all to back away from them. They all paused, taking in how bad the situation might be.

"Tell his friend we found him and that he's safe with me. We will come out here and talk to all when he feels better and when he's ready." Katsuki stood up for his omega, wanting it to be unmistakable that he wouldn't take no for an answer.

"Do you need a doctor?" The queen asked, filled with deep concern for the boy in her son's arms.

The blonde wanted to say yes, he wanted to make sure his rabbit was fine but, he'd take this as slow as he needed to. "Not yet. Just, send a change of clothes for him, please? I am taking him to my chambers."

With that, the prince walked off, clutching the smaller greenette in his arms. He was careful as they walked upstairs to his wing. He set the rabbit on a chair in his room, kissing his head again before filling the tub in the connected bathroom. When it was ready, he gathered soaps and the softest towels before moving to find the rabbit again. Izuku had curled himself into the chair, staring at the ground, likely replaying the events in his head over and over. By the darkened expression on his face, he was hurting and blaming himself.

Katsuki knelt in front of him, offering a smile as he kissed Izuku's forehead. "Come on, I have a bath waiting for you."

The rabbit nodded, allowing the prince to help him stand, taking his cape back and laying it over the chair. They moved into the bathroom, the blonde taking the remaining clothing off of his omega, taking it easy on the cuts he could see. He helped Izuku step in and sit in the large tub. Katsuki was careful as he ran a sponge over the wounded body. He washed off the blood, dirt, and sweat that he had on his beautiful body. The cuts on his legs were deep and would likely scar. When they were washed, Izuku flinched, wincing at the pain from it which only made the blonde ache more. The cuts from claws on his neck and back weren't as healed either, so Katsuki spent most of his time focused on cleaning his wrist from the bite. Emerald eyes looked at it, hating the sight of it, like the rest of his scars.

"Izuku, let me call a doctor for this. I want to make sure it's not broken from how swollen it is." Katsuki begged, keeping his voice low and steady.

Worried eyes looked into those crimson pools, seeing his alpha being worried. He glanced down at the tub, seeing blood mixed into the soapy water. "Will you stay with me while they're here?"

"I won't leave your side." The alpha promised.

"Okay, as long as you don't leave."

Once they were redressed, nightshirts and comfortable pants, a doctor arrived. Katsuki sat with his legs crossed near the edge of the bed, his omega sat between his thighs and leaned into the warm chest. Izuku would whimper, push himself further into the prince, and look away the entire visit as his wrist was applied with ointment and wrapped in a bandage.

When they were alone again, wrapped around each other under the covers, Katsuki kissed a freckled cheek. "I'm sorry. I should have been there. I should have ignored what Kirishima said about waiting for morning and come to find you immediately."

"It's not your fault, Kacchan. I shouldn't have run away after I saw you with her."

"Which was dealt with by the way. I warned her to never talk to either of us again, if so, I'd burn her so badly she'd never recover. She and anyone else will never hurt you again. I won't allow it. I love you too much to allow someone else to cause you harm ever again." Katsuki promised, meaning every word.

"I love you, Kacchan. I believe you."

Izuku forced a smile, inching closer to the blonde as he kissed his tanned cheek and perfect lips. He forced his mind to look around, to see he was somewhere safe, to see Katsuki who cared about him, even loved him. He forced his mind to settle, now that he was back where he needed to be. Finally, after fearing for his life, he could close his eyes and not be afraid.

"Rest little bunny, I'm here. I have you."

Chapter Text

It took two days in the prince's room, being under the alpha's constant care before Izuku was comfortable with the queen coming to visit and check on him. Another couple of days before he could be with the nobles in the lounge room, and a full week before he could travel to the library while Katsuki worked. It was becoming more comfortable for him to walk around but he still had horrible nightmares and kept looking over his shoulder for the next assault.

It was a difficult way to live. The omega knew he was safe in these castle walls when he was with Katsuki when the nobles were in the room with him, and any time he was in the library. It didn't matter where he was or who was around, Izuku couldn't help but think there was another attack coming another fight, another reason to be terrified. He was freaked out but, there were times when he allowed himself to completely relax and close his eyes. He never felt better however than when he was seated in the blonde alphas's lap and he had a pair of firm arms around him.

As of right now, Izuku sat in his lap while they read their books in the library. They had pulled pillows and blankets into the floor in front of the sofa, making a small nest of their own so the prince could rest his back against the furniture while the greenette was curled between his legs, his head on a thick thigh. It was comfortable and quiet as a green curl was played with between two fingers that found these hairs to be softest in the world. The rabbit's hands held his book about some new plant theories, and the dragon's was a journal of a past general where he talked about his battle strategies. Soon there was a heavy sigh and a hand lying on a smaller chest.

"Kacchan? Are you okay?" Izuku looked up, his emerald eyes wide and shining as the prince glanced down at him.

"I am." It was monotone, serious, and calm. He was lying because there had been a question that was still unanswered and it was bothering him the additional time that passed he had to wonder what it was. Katsuki hadn't asked anything yet as he didn't to pressure the small rabbit into reliving it, reimagining it, but he was getting past the point of caring. The thoughts going through the blonde's mind were running rampant and getting worse the longer he went without knowing.

"Kacchan," Izuku sat up, maneuvering himself to cross his legs in front of the alpha, knees pressed against the thighs so they remained touching. "What's wrong?"

Crimson eyes took in his omega. He loved him, he cared for him more than anything else, and felt for him things he had never experienced with anyone else before. He was done pretending to be fine, acting like this wasn't an issue for him.

"Izuku, please, tell me what happened?" As soon as he asked, the greenette tensed up as expected. Katsuki felt terrible to bring it up and if something did happen, it wouldn't change how he portrayed the omega, he just wanted to know. Suddenly those emerald eyes wouldn't meet crimson as he stared at the floor, the blanket near them, a few pillows, a bare chest, anything but his eyes."I know what it was must have been terrible, traumatizing. I know it left a deep scar on your mind that I cannot help you heal, and I know you don't want to bring it up ever again. I know it's selfish of me to ask you this question, but I need to know because the thoughts in my head are only getting worse without you telling me the truth. I'd like to think I'm wrong and that what I am thinking is over the top or incredibly wrong, but I don't know without you telling me. So please, just let me know so I can help you so that I know how to help repair your mind and heart instead of just your body. I love you and I'll do everything I can to make sure you feel safe at my side for the rest of your life."

Carefully, Katsuki hooked his finger and used the knuckle to raise emerald eyes to meet his. They were already watering from his emotions. The rabbit stared at his alpha whose eyes held nothing but love and concern. He just needed to end his suffering before helping to end Izuku's. The greenette took a deep breath, moving to hold the prince's hands.

The reason he hadn't told him yet, why it stayed in his head rather than out loud was because he thought maybe this would do it. This would be the wedge that would separate them for sure. In Izuku's head, he was spoiled goods, ruined, and dirty. He saw himself as worthless now that he was scarred in his mind and on his body by another alpha. Worthless now that it was clear or going to be clear to the prince that this rabbit could be sold and used for better things other than a mate. In the back of his mind, he knew Katsuki would never turn against him, he had come to save him after all. But the fear outweighed his common sense. Seeing the pain and hurt in the blonde's face was the only reason he decided to speak up. Izuku knew that nothing happened thankfully, but based on his looks at the time, it would be hard for the prince to decipher that.

"They kidnapped me to place me into some breeding ring. As I'm sure you're aware by now, rabbits are rumored to be extremely fertile. There's even a rumor about it being effortless to put us into heat with a strong enough scent, making it increasingly easier for us to submit. Because of these rumors, rabbits are sought after the most, making us pretty big targets, which is why I live so close to my friends." Izuku looked up, seeing the prince was hooked on every word he said. Now this is the part he feared the most. "The house was a post of theirs I guess. I overheard them talking as if I wasn't the first one they had done this to and by the looks of the room and their system, I'd believe I wasn't either. They had a room that was a designated holding cell, several locks, and no escape. The alpha you found, the one who, uh,"

Izuku paused, his voice catching in his throat. Katsuki only held his hand tighter.

"He isn't here baby, he can't hurt you." Katsuki kissed his forehead, hauling the small omega into his hold further. A comforting hand moved to hold the greenette to his chest, allowing him to talk without looking at him so he had more confidence to speak.

"The alpha showed up and paid one of the men a pretty huge wad of cash. Then they all left the house, locking the front door so I couldn't get out, and left him alone with me. He was their client and he admitted to me that I wasn't the first omega he had in this situation." A trembling hand reached up to hold his bare neck. Right now he was deeply missing the feeling of something around his throat. "He tore my collar off, breaking it, and tried to assault me. He tried but I wouldn't let him, I kept fighting him, Kacchan. That's why he cut me, hit me, and bit me. He got so mad because I wouldn't submit to him. I wouldn't give him what he wanted Kacchan, because he wasn't my alpha, you are! I didn't let him touch me, I didn't let him!"

"Okay, okay. Hush, you're safe now. You're safe." Katsuki pulled Izuku into his embrace. There was a relief of knowing nothing like what he was thinking had happened, but he also hated to see his rabbit in such distress over fighting for his life. "I'm proud of you little bunny. He looked pretty beat up when I found him. You did so well. I'm so glad you're okay."

Izuku was a little shocked. After all that, all of what he's heard and been through since meeting the prince, Katsuki still wanted him. Still wanted to hold him. He had convinced himself for sure this was the final straw. After everything, he was sure the dragon would see the nuisance he was and kick him on his ass outside the kingdom walls to be someone else's problem. Instead, the prince continued to hold him and rock him. Izuku settled into the touch, the gentle hold.

They didn't move for a long time, relief washing over them both before the blonde kissed a freckled cheek. "Thank you for telling me. I know it was hard for you to say but I appreciate it, more than you know. Now it looks like you need some rest. Let's be done for the day. Come on."

The greenette allowed himself to put on his feet, a large hand still holding his as they walked to the prince's room. They shut the door behind him, moving to a wardrobe to change into more comfortable clothing. Before walking to the bed, small feet didn't move. He contemplated his decision, knowing this was what he wanted, and who he wanted it with.

"Little bunny, are you okay?" Katsuki cupped freckled cheeks in his hands before kissing his head.

"Kacchan."

"Yeah?"

"I want you to mark me."

Crimson eyes widened, unbelieving it himself for a moment. He looked down at a very serious rabbit. "Say that again."

"I want you to mark me, Kacchan. No one else. No more threats because I am unmarked, no more glares. I want you to mark me. I want to be your omega and you my alpha, officially." He said with more confidence, being stern in his decision.

"Izuku,"

Katsuki picked up the rabbit by his sides, smaller legs instinctively wrapping around his waist. The omega hugged the prince's broad shoulders as well, clinging to him as he held in an excited smile. The blonde carefully placed the greenette on his back on the bed, climbing on top of him to immediately kiss his soft and pink lips. He'd never get over how amazing those lips felt on his as Katsuki moved his mouth in sync with the omega under him. Regretfully, he pulled back, taking in the beautiful sight of love-drunk eyes on his rabbit. He smiled, giving one more gentle kiss.

"I will when you're healed and feel better. For now, I need you to focus on feeling back to your usual self and gaining your strength back. I love you, little bunny. I will mark you as soon as you're all better. Soon."

**********

Izuku held onto Katsuki's arm as they walked outside. This past week of staying inside was making every room feel stuffy, so the prince offered a walk outside. They walked through the garden and admired what was in bloom.

"I have a gift for you." Katsuki stopped in the middle of a small patch.

"Really?" Izuku knew better than to protest by now, it was useless against the prince who loved to spoil him.

A large hand reached into his pocket as he grabbed an emerald leather collar. It was an overly talented design with a mountain landscape on either side, but in the middle was not the kingdom's crest like before, instead, it was a letter 'K' for the prince. Izuku couldn't help but gasp, loving the sight of it.

"I know you were upset to have lost your other one, so I hope this makes up for it. Do you like it?" The dragon was hopeful, wanting this to make him feel better.

Izuku quickly flew his arms around the prince's neck. The height difference had the omega dangling off the alpha. "Yes! I love it so much. Thank you, Kacchan. Will you put it on me?"

The prince let out a small chuckle as he nodded. As soon as it touched his neck, the rabbit knew this was the best material out there as it was a soft leather. It felt like a pillow or shirt collar around his neck instead.

"Looks beautiful," Katsuki stated, stealing a small kiss from his omega.

"Thank you."

Chapter Text

It's been three weeks since Izuku came to recover at the castle. Three whole weeks of nonstop attention and check-ins from the very concerned alpha. Katsuki stared at the two cups of tea on the tray in his hands, hoping this would help the restless omega relax.

Izuku had been having nightmares that made him resist sleep or not be able to stay that way for long before he woke up thrashing around and sweating. The only thing that would calm him would be a pair of strong arms wrapped around him, a low voice shushing him, telling him he was safe and everything was okay. It helped but it only made the rabbit feel more like a burden. The prince had daily duties, and jobs to do and at night when he should be able to relax, here Izuku was, needing his attention and patience. It was shown on both their faces how little sleep they've been getting and it only caused more heartache for the greenette to see, knowing he was the cause.

The door to the library carefully was pushed open with a broad back, a boot closing it behind him. He walked slowly to the greenette who was wrapped in a blanket in a large chair. His book had dropped to the floor when he fell asleep. The slight was adorable to crimson eyes as he smiled and moved a green curl out of the way of his eyes. As he moved things around and cleaned up the area as best he could, a small whimper made the hairs on his neck stand. He'd never be able to get used to hearing that noise come from Izuku, from his love, from his omega.

"N-no - Don't touch me - I'm not yours!" The rabbit mumbled in his sleep while gripping the material in his hands, knuckles white. His once peacefully sleeping face turned into a scowl, although his brows were raised in worry. "Stop - Please - Don't hurt me."

Dropping to his knees carefully, Katsuki reached a hand out to hold the rabbit's hand, his other held a freckled face. "Izuku, baby, I'm here, it's okay. It's just a dream."

Izuku flinched from the touch. Emerald eyes glanced around to find who was touching him in a panic until they landed on soft crimsons. "Kacchan."

"Yeah, I'm here. I'm always here." There were a few tears that fell on freckled cheeks, but he wiped them away and sat up. Katsuki sighed, reaching over for a cup and holding it out. "Want some?"

"Thank you." Small and shaking hands took it, sipping at it as he calmed his nerves. He forced a reassuring smile on the blonde, telling him he was okay. It was a lie, and the said blonde knew it. He knew that smile was fake, he knew the omega was struggling with his dreams, and he knew it was not okay.

The blonde sat on the floor, his back against the greenette's knees as the greenette ran his fingers through his spikes. He thought about what to do, what was going to happen between them, what was going on in the omega's mind to tear him apart like this. His smiles were all fake, he'd been struggling with nightmares for a long while, and the poor rabbit flinched at everything, including him. Katsuki couldn't blame him or be angry, but it still hurt every time. Here he was, protecting him, loving him, showing him how much he cared about him daily, but Izuku still flinched back. Not only was it hard to see, but the sounds of him whimpering were awful enough to make him want to crawl into his tanned skin and dissolve there, to help even though it was useless to try.

They sat in silence for a while before the blonde stood back up. He slowly reached for a handout. "Come on, there's somewhere I want to take you. Just the two of us."

"O-okay." Izuku stumbled, suspiciously eyeing the smirk across the alpha's face.

Once outside, Katsuki quickly hooked his arm under unsuspecting legs and cradled his back as large opened his wings. Izuku squealed, holding onto the prince's neck as they flew above the trees. Katsuki only chuckled as they took a short twenty-minute flight to the south. Izuku's eyes were squeezed shut, not enjoying the heights but, once he felt the prince land and heard the familiar noise, his emerald eyes widened.

Behind him, the sun was slowly setting, casting a purplish hue over the waves coming in and crashing into the small cove Katsuki had taken him. No one else was around so they were completely alone to enjoy the scene and beach just the two of them. Izuku looked up at crimson eyes which were wondering if he had made the right choice to bring him here. Soon, a smile, a genuine smile finally found the omega's face for the first time in the last few weeks.

Izuku let out a giggle, wiggling free from the dragon's hold as he bolted to the water's edge. "Where do you think you're going?"

The rabbit laughed louder, hearing feet struggle in the sand as the prince started to chase after him. As soon as his feet hit the water, Izuku was lifted off the ground, the same blonde wrapping warm arms around his waist to twirl him around, kicking up water as they walked further in. They shared a round of laughs while splashing and making the most of their time here.

They only stopped when the sun looked inches from the water. Izuku stood in the water up to his knees as his prince stood behind him, holding his shoulders, watching as well. Izuku kept his eyes on the horizon but leaned his head back into his broad chest. "Thank you for bringing me here. I feel much better."

"I only want you to feel your best from now on. You don't deserve to feel like you have been. It killed me to see you in such misery." A deep voice whispered to his omega.

Once the sun dropped behind the water, Izuku turned in Katsuki's arms. He leaned up, pulling the blonde down for a short kiss which the prince deepened by putting a hand on his freckled nape and slim waist. Izuku could only melt into it, leaning into him more, his arms reaching up to hold onto wide shoulders. He allowed the prince's tongue to dominate his mouth as well, soaking in the taste. It was perfect, and everything the rabbit needed to put himself back together. Yes, he had been to hell and back, but with Katsuki, he'd never have to be scared like that again.

******

Izuku wanted to stop at his house, needing to water the plants he had been neglecting and asking Uraraka to care for. The two of them were still damp from playing in the water, covered in sand from the beach, and still in amazement for the other.

Izuku went first to bathe and get the sand off him since he suffered the worst from their water fight. He changed into a long blue nightgown gifted by the alpha in his bathroom now. He made tea as he waited and thought about the last few months. Katsuki had taken care of him, guarded him, and done things for him that no one else would ever even think to do for him. There was no doubt in the greenette's mind that he loved Katsuki and that the blonde was the man he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. Everything about him was what the rabbit wanted in a mate, in the future sire of his pups. As a bonus, Katsuki was someone his mother had mentioned she'd be okay with him ending up with. Everything pointed to him.

"Izuku," the blonde stepped into the living room, a towel wrapped around his waist. "Do you have something I could wear on my way back?"

Emerald eyes stared at the tall and gorgeous man in front of him. He didn't want this to end yet, he wasn't ready to say goodnight. Katsuki also looked too good right now. Most of his body was on display for the rabbit now, showing off how fit and sexy he was. With all the actions Izuku had been thinking about, plus seeing him in all his glory now, it was obvious what the greenette wanted next.

"Or, you could stay here tonight?" Izuku stated as he stood from his chair and moved closer to the prince.

Crimson eyes widened, not sure what to say or what his omega meant by saying that. "Uh, you want me to stay on the couch? Would that make you feel better since your bedroom is your nest?"

The rabbit shook his head. Slim arms wrapped around a strong and still-damp torso as he placed his chin on a wide chest. "I want you in my bed with me."

Katsuki was losing his mind at the sub-text that seemed to be clear to only one of them. Instead of asking how the rabbit was feeling or continuing the mind tricks, he just allowed the smaller man to lead him into the bedroom by his hand. Izuku turned him so the prince was sitting on the edge of the bed. Slowly, he moved a knee between his thighs, leaning into the prince who was still too stunned to say anything about Izuku's sudden boldness. "Little bunny?"

Izuku held onto his shoulders, moving down so they were face to face. "Yeah?"

"Are you - Do you want to - Uh - Are you asking me to," He motioned to the bed with his eyes, having no idea how to get this out without sounding like a tool. He was grateful when Izuku got the message anyway.

"Kacchan, I don't want anyone else's mark on me, or to belong to someone else." A gentle kiss was pressed on the blonde's lips before he went on. "I only want you."

"So?" He needed to hear Izuku say it. He needed to hear the bell ring, the green light turning on, and an understanding here before he misread what was happening.

"I want you to mark me. Mate with me, Kacchan. Be my alpha."

There it was.

That was what Katsuki had been needing. There was a short hesitation as it sunk in, but soon, warm and large hands tingled the back of Izuku's knees as the prince lifted the nightgown. Warm calloused hands traveled up the sides of his entire body to remove the material. As soon as it was out of the way, the prince placed sweet and slow kisses on the rabbit's fair skin, under his ear making the smaller one gasp at the sensation.

The prince took things slow, knowing this was Izuku's first time, their first time, a special moment where he'd mark the rabbit as his forever. He wanted to be gentle, to make this last, and mean something to them both. He wanted Izuku to feel his best while also making this enjoyable. To be able to have him closer, Katsuki guided the rabbit's legs to either side of him, allowing Izuku to sit on his lap. Small hands found soft spikes, untangling his fingers in the mess as the prince's mouth left sweet kisses on his neck and down his chest. When a tongue darted out to lick one of his nipple buds, he let out a moan that surprised him. It made his face burn a bright red in embarrassment, but his alpha only tightened his grip and did it again, loving the noise.

Katsuki continued the assault on his chest, making sure each bud was given the same amount of affection and care. Izuku released another moan as he bucked his hips, needing friction as he pushed his erection on the one hiding underneath the towel.

"Kacchan." He moaned out, hoping his actions were enough for the alpha to understand.

It was understood right away as the prince moved to carefully place the omega on his back on the bed. While below him, Katsuki removed the remaining articles of clothing from them both, allowing the wondering eyes of the two of them to take in the other. Izuku was smaller than him, an average size while Katsuki held more girth and length causing emerald eyes to widen in thought, wondering how that was supposed to be inside of him in a few minutes. The prince only smirked, seeing the concern but knowing he wouldn't allow the rabbit to feel pain. Instead, he kissed a freckled cheek, then his full and pink lips, then his neck, collarbone, chest, stomach, and hip. The entire time, Izuku could only watch as he lowered himself further down the small omega.

Because it was his first time, he allowed the prince to take the lead, trusting him to make this feel as good as he could. He had no idea what that entailed yet as Katsuki lowered himself to lick the slick coming Izuku's hole. The rabbit's body flinched, never feeling something like this before but already knowing it was amazing. His scarred hands held onto blonde locks as the prince licked and readied his hole. Soon there was a finger playing with his rim, giving him a warning about what was about to happen. Izuku was a complete mess at this point. He was enjoying every feeling at this point, letting his alpha take control of him as he was only capable of moaning and panting at this point.

A finger pushed into him and he gasped, his back arching. "Does it hurt?"

Izuku shook his head violently. "No, that feels good, really good."

It wasn't the first time he had fingered the rabbit, during his heat he did this dozens of times but Izuku had his mind in the right place now, and he didn't want him to feel pain. During a heat, the rabbit didn't care if it hurt or not, he just wanted to be touched. Now, he did what he could to treat this like touching the omega as if it was the first time for the both of them. When a second finger entered the rabbit, he released a louder moan and squirmed under the prince in pleasure. It was only making the alpha twitch and groan with excitement as well. He loved seeing him like this, knowing he was feeling good from his touch.

By his third digit, it was clear this was a little more uncomfortable. To distract his soon-to-be mate, Katsuki licked at the tip of his cock, tonguing the slit on top. Izuku's head dropped into the pillows under him, rightfully preoccupied from his hole, and focused on the prince's mouth instead. "Kacchan, oh god."

This made the prince smirk, knowing he was doing all the right things. This was more about exploring the other, figuring out what the other liked and didn't like and so far crimson eyes had yet to see anything the rabbit didn't enjoy. The prince was at an advantage as he had previous lovers and was more skilled than the omega under him so he was using that wisdom to his will, but it didn't mean he took it step by step anyway.

When three fingers had thoroughly stretched and prepped his hole, Katsuki moved to sit up on his knees, his cock prodding against the rabbit. "Izuku?"

"Please, Kacchan, I'm ready." Izuku nodded, holding the pillowcases near his head in a tight grip. He nodded to the blonde above him who leaned down and pressed a deep kiss onto perfectly full lips. He continued to kiss him as he adjusted his head to press into the ready hole. Once the tip was in, the prince grunted at the warm and tight feeling while the greenette gasped at the new sensation.

"Relax little bunny, I won't hurt you."

"I know." Izuku smiled, only encouraging his alpha to keep going. Katsuki rocked his hips, gradually adding in more and more of himself, careful of how the omega sounded, and looked like to make sure there was no pain before bottoming out. He stayed where he was, allowing the rabbit to stretch and adjust to his size as he let his balls press to the perfect ass under him.

Never did Izuku think this would feel so good, but he proved to be dead wrong. Katsuki filled him up in such a satisfying way, that he was molding his insides to fit him perfectly. The rabbit thought maybe the rumors of rabbits enjoying sex were true because right now, he might be becoming profoundly addicted to having his alpha in him like this.

"I'm gonna move now," Katsuki warned, pulling back to leave his tip in, and slowly pushing back in. Izuku shamelessly released a moan as he leaned onto the blonde's shoulder tighter. When the blonde did it again, he let out another. "Feel good? No pain?"

"No, none." Izuku smiled, loving the feeling and how careful his soon-to-be mate was with him. Truthfully, there was a small amount of dull pain around his rim from being stretched so far, but it was nearly drowned out completely by the pleasure he was feeling, and he didn't want anything to stop this. He knew this might just be killing the more experienced prince to take things this slow, but he was appreciating it up to this point. "You can, uh, you can go faster if you want?"

The prince smirked, seeing the nervousness on his omega's face, but also the lust in his eyes. Knowing his rabbit was feeling good from his cock being pressed into him like this, it was only inflating his ego more. "As you wish, my beautiful omega."

Kastuki did move faster, not much, but he found a steady rhythm for him and Izuku to enjoy together. It was their moans mixing, the grunts from the blonde, and the smacking from their thighs hitting the other that filled the room and made it only that much better. Sure Katsuki had others before, but it was nothing compared to how Izuku felt. Maybe it was because he loved the rabbit under him, maybe because they were about to be mated, whatever it was, it was making it hard for the dragon to hold out.

"Kacchan, oh god, f-fuck." Katsuki picked up the speed, loving hearing his name being moaned with that beautiful voice. He also plowed harder, deeper as his lips attacked the rabbit's freckled neck. "Ah, more!"

The prince granted the request and thrusted as hard as he could now, loving the erotic noises and small chirps coming from his rabbit. He released his croon of enjoyment while wrapping an arm under the slim but toned stomach under him. He held onto Izuku while forcing their hips together, feeling a building pressure in his stomach. He knew the edge was getting closer while he let his jaw hang loose from the amazing feeling below him, but clenched his teeth as Izuku clawed into his back, the edge coming close for him too.

"Kacchan, I - close." He spoke between pants and moans.

"You can come, baby, any time you want."

Katsuki reached down to wrap a large hand around the neglected cock of his omega. Right away Izuku gasped and even screamed while Katuski found his prostate as well. While being abused from both ends, the rabbit didn't last long, he came spilling onto his chest.

"That's a good boy, good rabbit." Katsuki groaned, pushing harder himself as he felt himself about to spill. His fangs sharpened, venom ready to disburse as he licked and kissed at the rabbit's glands. "My omega, my rabbit, my mate, mine."

Katsuki grunted out his words as he jolted his hips into the rabbit, erupting into the tight hole while his fangs inserted themselves into the fair neck below. Izuku flinched, whimpering at the feeling in his neck before going limp and allowing himself to be dominated by his alpha.

"Kacchan." He whispered, hugging the blonde's shoulders with slanted eyes and a half smile. Everything felt so good, so perfect, and where it needed to be. He had his prince now, his alpha, his mate. It was Katsuki, his Kacchan, and his Kacchan had his Deku. Even if they were too young to see it, there were signs that they'd always end up here.

They both relaxed, coming down from their climax' as Katsuki licked and cleaned the fresh wound on his mate's neck. They fell into each other, going slack against the bed but never leaving the other's hold as the smaller greenette leaned into the prince's side, his head on the large chest.

"I love you, my little bunny."

"I love you, my alpha."

A/N:

Heads up, now that they've done it, it's sort of hard to stop them, like every other couple who fuck for the first time 😂😂

Chapter Text

Crimson eyes opened first. Taking in the room he was in, the night prior came rushing back as he smiled to himself. He shuffled over to the sleeping rabbit next to him who made soft little snores in his ear. While the greenette was asleep, the dragon took him time to admire and adore his mate. The freckles across his face led down his arms, his back, and chest, and littered throughout the rest of his body. His thick and long eyelashes made his eyes increasingly more breathtaking. His full and perfectly pink lips. The way his hair curled and sprung to life with a gorgeous green color. Everything about his beautiful rabbit made him beam to know he had finally claimed him as his.

Careful not to wake him, Katsuki rolled on his side to lean over and press a kiss to the freckled cheeks he worshiped. When Izuku didn't stir, he moved to kiss his forehead. Still no sign of waking up from the rabbit. The prince then moved to kiss his jawline, getting carried away and moving his attack across the new mark of being his mate on a fair neck. He licked and mouthed at the spot until there was a small giggle under him.

"Kacchan, your chin stubble is tickling me." This only encouraged the blonde to rub his scratchy face on his jawline more, making the rabbit laugh harder. "It's too early for this."

The prince leaned back, smirking down at him now, taking in the now doe-shaped and rare-colored emerald irises he fell in love with so long ago. He didn't want to look away, not be anywhere without them right next to him, or be too far from him. "Move in with me."

"What?"

Suddenly those same eyes widened, surprised to hear something like this before the sun was fully in the sky. So much for 'good morning.'

"You heard me. I want you to move in with me." The prince moved to his back, putting a hand under his head while the other rested over his stomach, very nonchalant for what he was asking. "You've stayed there enough now that you can make it your own and seeing that you're my mate now, I don't want you to be far from me. With my mark on your neck and all recent events considered, I want you as close to me as you can get at all times. Plus, after a couple of weeks of having you with me, I don't think I'd be able to sleep without you being in the same bed as I am."

Izuku thought about his words. It was true, he had spent the last two weeks being in the prince's room and following him around like a lost puppy at this point. He loved being around his alpha and knew it was the same feeling the other way around, especially now that he admitted it. It wouldn't be the worst idea. He could still work as a messenger to earn an income for now until the prince convinces him to quit. The rabbit also knew he'd struggle to sleep without the alpha snoring next to him at this point. He had gotten used to the blonde's warmth and mental note of him being so close.

Katsuki was his safe place and to come back here, alone, no way to contact him or reach him if something happened again, it was concerning for sure. At least this way, if someone tried anything again and he didn't report to the castle in time, the prince and maybe even the queen would be all over it. It was nice to know Katsuki had an entire wing to himself other than his office and the library where Izuku spent a lot of his time anyway.

The greenette smiled, nodding to his alpha. "Yes! I don't want to be here alone anymore anyway."

The prince smiled wider, loving to hear that response as he pulled the rabbit into his arms, planting satisfied kisses all over his face. Izuku giggled at the assault before moving his head so he could kiss the blonde properly. Nothing made him feel more pleased than right now. Katsuki was officially his mate, his alpha, and now they would be sharing a room so they could only spend more time together and see each other every day. This was how it was going to be for them from now on and the rabbit couldn't move his things quick enough.

"Okay, so what things do you need to move with you because most of this can stay behind since you won't be needing it anymore."

Katsuki looked around the room, sitting up in bed with Izuku in his lap. The greenette thought about it. "I have to bring a lot of my bedding and nesting materials."

"Naturally."

"And my chair that I love so much."

"It'll go right next to my desk in the lounge room."

"And my crate."

"Your crate?"

Izuku nodded, moving to the foot of the bed and swinging his feet over the edge, making sure the sheets still covered his lowered half to stay somewhat decent. Silly considering this man had seen it all at this point and even stuck his face in most parts of him. Nonetheless, it just felt right to be wrapped up for now. The prince moved so he was sitting next to the rabbit as he opened the crate. It was full of several different things, keepsakes and heirlooms. All of it meant something to the rabbit obviously so it was clear this must come to. The prince tried to pick it up but the thick metal material was something he'd never get to the castle by himself, not without it taking all day and several breaks. Izuku only giggled as it seemed to hurt his feelings he wasn't strong enough for the crate by himself. Katsuki only rolled his eyes.

"I'll get Shitty Hair and we'll grab a horse and wagon and be back in less than an hour. We can grab your crate, and bring a few bags to put your stuff in if you'd like to get dressed and start picking out what to take with you." Katsuki noted, making a plan in his head.

"You're making me get dressed already?" Izuku teased.

Katsuki only scowled. "I told you I was going to grab Shitty Hair and come get you. I'd rather not have to kill one of my friends for seeing my mate naked. I would have a lot of explaining to do to my mother."

"Oh, I see." He nodded, enjoying this. "I'm telling Kiri you called him one of your friends."

"You wouldn't fucking dare." Katsuki narrowed his eyes, knowing that redhead would bring it up as often as he could.

"Hmm, I might."

"You little-" Katsuku grunted out through clenched teeth as he moved to kiss his mate, loving his teasing and playful banter.

******

As he said, the prince and his friend returned shortly.

The two of them rode their horses as the people of the town crowded them, trying to get the prince's attention. Izuku wondered how long it would be before he'd admit he was mated or told others he was no longer looking for a marriage deal. Not that they'd stop coming until the blonde was officially married, but it would still be nice for him to get the news out as he was a very wanted alpha to all omegas and betas out there.

Truthfully, Izuku was still choking down the fact this now meant he'd have to get over his fear of public speaking and social anxiety. He'd be queen one day, rule alongside Katsuki, and be someone to the people of this kingdom. Luckily he already had a friend in the making, Shoto. Knowing he was going to be someone he'd have a good alliance with and look forward to seeing at events like the ball made it a little easier on him. The bi-colored prince was a friend of the rabbits as he had proven before now.

"Hi, Mido." Kirishima greeted him as Katsuki kissed the rabbit's head, moving to his room for the crate. The redhead bent down, a smirk on his features. "Heard the news and by the looks of the mark on your neck, I'd like to be the first to congratulate you."

"Thanks, Kiri." Izuku smiled widely, rubbing his neck.

"Not on that, I mean you finally getting laid. Congrats." The redhead corrected the rabbit who only exploded with a bright red.

"T-thanks, I-I guess." Izuku blurted out, not sure what the hell to say to that. Kirishima only chuckled at his reaction before hearing a loud thud.

"What the hell did you do to make his face that red?" Katsuki asked, yelling as he saw his mate in such an embarrassed state.

Suddenly, rabbit ears and a tail sprouted. Izuku pulled the ears over his eyes and tried to hide his face as much as he could. "Please, don't ask him to repeat it."

The two alphas looked at each other, only to shrug and help the greenette move his things. When they returned to the castle, the rabbit features were gone. Katsuki did miss them a little. He loved the long and satin-like ears of his omega. His little tail was also adorable and only complimented the already perfectly shaped ass it sat above. If there was a tail there, he'd have a reason to check him out without people second-guessing it.

When they finished moving everything in their now shared room, there was a knock on the door. Mitsuku entered, grinning wider than they'd ever seen. "I heard you're an official mate. I wanted to see it for myself."

"You're just being nosy, hag." Katsuki rolled his eyes at his mother who shot him a glare.

Ignoring her son, she hugged the rabbit anyway, giving a small congratulations. She looked like she was going to say more but her eyes caught on the closed crate that sat on the table in the center of the room as Izuku hadn't found a spot for it yet. She knew what it was though, she had seen it before, she had bought it as a gift herself. The queen smiled, pointing at it. "Is that - Was this hers?"

Izuku looked over at where she pointed, seeing what it was, he pressed his lips together as he thought about his mother. There was a small smile on his lips as he nodded. By now the omega knew how the queen felt about him and his mother. She had apologized to him more times than he could count as well as hearing from his mate about her feelings towards not going to see him afterwards. Knowing this about the sweet woman next to him, about his mother's best friend, he took her hand and guided her to the crate. They sat together on the small couch in the alpha's room as he opened it. She gasped loudly, looking at everything inside as it all belonged to Inko.

There was a doll she carried with her since she was a girl which Mitsuki picked up to hold to her chest, smelling the very faint whiff of lilies. It was Inko's scent. As her eyes glimpsed over the other contents, tears sprung to her eyes, seeing her childhood and deep memories of her friend come to life right before her. The sweet omega reached a hand out to her, holding her shoulder as he also had tears in his eyes. "Would you like me to show you what I was able to salvage?"

"Y-yes, please." Katsuki sat on the floor between his mate and dam, listening to them talk about certain objects they found. There were emerald earrings his mother wore every day that even the prince, with fading memories, remembers Aunite Inko wearing any time she was here. Inside were pictures, paintings, letters, notes, stuffed animals, and more. The last piece Izuku pulled out was a small handkerchief. It was green, made of silk, embroidered with the dam's name on it, and half burned. Small fingers rubbed the material, letting out a few tears as he lifted his hand, staring at the scars with hatred.

"As you know, she always carried it with her and when I went I went back in to find her, I saw it sitting on our kitchen table. I grabbed it, knowing it meant she was home, and went to find her. When I woke up on the street after some stranger saved me, I was still clutching it in my hand. I thought for a long time it was the last piece of her I'd ever have until a couple of weeks later when I was discharged from the infirmary and able to find the rest of these things." It pained the royals to hear him talk this way. Despite his chest feeling like it was about to cave in on itself, Izuku carried on. "I miss her, every single day."

Mitsuki let go of a small sob as she took the scarred hand in hers, squeezing it tight.

"I do too. Very, very much. I don't think I'll ever be able to forget about your mother. She was a beautiful and wonderful woman. I think about her every day. I wonder what she'd say about things, what she'd think about certain things, and I hear her voice in the memories I hold of her." Mitsuki put her free hand on Izuku's cheek, wiping away a tear. "She loved you so much and I can tell you with one hundred percent confidence, that she'd be so proud of who you became."

"Thank you."

The omega smiled through his sobs, leaning into the blonde dam which he saw as not a replacement for his own, but was a bonus. Even as a small pup, the queen was his mother, right alongside Inko who loved to see their relationship thrive.

"I can also tell you that she and I would be giving you two so much shit for being mated now. We called it way back then and I am here to say, for both myself and on your mother's behave, 'we told you so!' Ha!"

Katsuki only groaned, hiding his face in the rabbit's knee next to his head. "Here we go."

Izuku giggled, knowing as well how delighted his dam would be to know he ended up with the prince. She spoke so highly of him, loved him as another son, and even teased the omega about him being cute so his freckled cheeks would turn a bright shade of red. She'd let out a soft laugh, kiss his head, and carry on but, even as a small pup, Izuku knew his mother had a feeling they'd be together like this.

"You're right. She'd be teasing me right now about finally admitting how cute I thought Kacchan was."

"Oh, don't I know it." Mitsuki grinned, nodding her head while hugging the rabbit's shoulders and kissing his temple as she had always done. "She'd never let you forget it."

A/N:
Again, sorry for killing off Inko, I love her but, I needed the storyline.
RIP Mama Midoriya

Chapter Text

Izuku stood in front of the mirror looking less than impressed with how he looked. Katsuki stood right next to him, wearing his usual formal attire. The red cape, perfected blonde spikes, arm sleeves to show royalty, a cropped leather vest, black pants, and recently shined boots. His horns seem to have been polished as well. He looked amazing and intimidating, and the right amount of perfection to make the omega weak in the knees. Izuku was dressed to something similar but not at all the same effect from what he could tell. He wore a red dress the same color as Katsuki's cape to match his mate. It was fitted to his shoulders and waist while he also had a leather belt to tie around his hips and opened slits down each side to expose his legs. The rabbit wore a golden necklace with a ruby in it that dipped down to his nearly fully exposed chest. He appreciated the piece though as his bare neck felt so open without a collar after all this time. His golden cuffs sat on his wrist to show he was with the royal family, and his sandals had little support.

He might have looked okay, maybe even pretty if not so close to his very much better-looking alpha. Katsuki on the other hand, looked at the smaller rabbit with awe in his eyes. "You look unbelievable."

The blonde kissed the exposed freckled shoulder as the dress Izuku wore had no sleeves. The rabbit smiled slightly.

He turned in his arms. "Thank you. I'd say the same to you but it would be an understatement."

"Is that right? Then why don't we just stay up here, and have our own private party?" Katsuki smirked, sinking himself further down to hold the omega's waist in both arms as he kissed the still-healing mate mark on fair skin. Izuku shivered from his breath on exposed skin.

"And have your mother hunt us down, only to drag us down there anyway? I'd rather not." Izuku joked but it was true. Mitsuki would absolutely come looking for them and would take both their ears in a tight grip to make an appearance.

This was a celebration party for the two of them being mates after all. She invited the entire kingdom and some closest friends to come out. Although it celebrated the two, this was more of a mingle for unmated people of the whole kingdom to meet, but also an excuse to throw a party which she loved to do. It wasn't every day she got to admit her hot-headed, explosive, and rude brat of a son finally found his mate either.

Katsuki sighed, turning the rabbit back around while settling his chin in the nook of Izuku's neck as he examined the two of them in the mirror, loving how great they looked together. The rabbit's much smaller hands rested on larger, warmer ones while they stared at each other straight ahead. "I suppose you're right. Then, shall we get this thing over with so I can steal you away sooner?"

The prince stood tall, extending his arm out for the beautiful omega he had claimed. Izuku blushed, hating to admit how much the little things like this affected his heart. "Lead the way, my alpha."

Katsuki growled teasingly, also hating to admit how much Izuku calling him by his secondary gender affected his entire body. The blonde heard his inner alpha rattling the cages inside his head to let him go and mark him again, just to be sure this perfect omega never left his side and take him right here right now.

They both took a deep breath, the closer they got to the ballroom the louder the festivities got. The sound of music rose, the clink of drinks, the laughter of those attending, and the voices of the hundreds of people the queen had invited. Izuku gulped, not sure how he was going to handle the spotlight on him all over again. At the last event, he was a guest but because he was with Katsuki, everyone wanted to know him. Now, this was as much his party as it was the prince's.

His mate, overly confident and used to the crowds already, gave his temple a sweet kiss of encouragement before rounding the corner and being announced to have arrived. People cheered for them, happy to see the couple they had come to see finally show up. The king and queen joined them at their sides, looking proud and hugging them. Mistsuki patted her brat's shoulder and turned to the smaller of the two.

"You look so fantastic, you might even show me up."

"He already does," Katsuki interjected.

"I know, just let me have my moments when I can." She scowled back, earning a giggle from the rabbit whose hands she was now holding. "I am so glad it's you, I don't think anyone else would be a more perfect match for my son. I also don't think anyone else could fucking handle his stubborn ass."

"I am standing right here!" Mitsuki looked the prince up and down.

"Yes, I can see that." She rolled her eyes and looked back down. "Enjoy your night Izuku, tonight, this is all for you."

Katsuki was about to protest, saying it was their night, a night to show off their bond when his father placed his hand on his shoulder, stopping him. "Just, let her believe what she wants, okay? As you know, happy mate, happy fate."

Izuku smirked at his confused prince. He retook his arm as they walked around some more. There were the usual faces of those he saw before. Close friends and other royals near them came to support them. Others who were not invited still sent a gift of sorts. There were very few who declined the invitation, but most either couldn't leave their kingdom so soon for the event, or had more important things to do as this wasn't an annual thing, not a wedding, or even important at all. No, this was just for fun. Most of the ones who said they couldn't come already had paired mates anyway so this event would be useless to them anyhow.

The overly proud and joyful prince introduced more people to Izuku, getting to say the words, 'This is my mate' having both their hearts flutter each time he said it out loud. Of course, this kept a recurring question in the air, when was the wedding?

Usually, people court one another, mate, bond, mark, and have happy lives with one another. In richer and higher status cases like royalty, especially one with such a large kingdom and so many allies to invite, it was a tradition they'd be married one day, making Izuku an official royal until the day the current king and queen stepped down and Katsuki had his coronation day. That would be a day for both of them to rise as king and queen together. The thought of him being a queen one day and running the kingdom alongside Katsuki was exciting but also made him light-headed as he wobbled a bit.

Katsuki noticed the sudden paleness on his face and moved to stand directly in front of the rabbit. "Are you alright? Is this too much?"

"No, no. I just got lost in my head a bit and caused myself to panic for no reason." He admitted, knowing there was no grounds to lie when the blonde would see right through it anyway.

"Then maybe we take a break and get some food in you, how does that sound?" The blonde asked, lifting a scarred hand to his lips for a small kiss as Izuku gave him a weak nod.

They maneuvered through the crowd, skipping pleasantries so they could make it to their seats instead of having further conversations. They just about made it there when a certain brunette stepped into their path. Izuku's body froze, not liking to see her again. Not just because she pulled that little stunt at their last meeting but more so for the fact he could feel through his mate's hand how tense and heated he got from her showing her face to them again. Izuku rubbed Katsuki's arm reassuringly as Camie looked the two up and down.

"I still don't get it. Why him over me?" She narrowed her eyes at the greenette who attempted to hide himself more behind the prince. "Why some dirty little commoner over me? I have been nice to you, cared for you over the years, and practically thrown myself at you and this is what you settle for?"

"Camie-" Katsuki tried to warn her, his palm heating so Izuku let go in fear of him burning his hand on accident.

"He's a filthy little rabbit who doesn't belong with someone as great as you. Even though you've already marked him, you can mark me too and we can get married instead. I can do everything so much better than him anyway and let's face it, he isn't even worth the trouble when he comes from nothing. Just, come to your senses already and open your eyes to see that I'm the one you want."

"Enough-"

"I am the one who can make you feel better, I am the one who can offer you as many pups as you want without complaint, and I look so much better on your arm than he does. So, honey bear, why don't you drop the dead weight, and let's go ahead and go upstairs so we can start having pups right away?"

"Stop fucking talking!" He gained everyone's attention.

Camie was stunned but didn't say a word. She tried to reach out to him, to the other arm that Izuku wasn't holding but she stopped when a floor-rattling growl erupted from the very angry, very upset prince before the two of them. Izuku, though he was holding his arm where the sleeves were, could feel the heat radiating off the dragon. When the blonde spoke, it was deep, loud, and powerful, and had everyone turning their heads to watch the scene unfold. Those who were in the audience, were Camie's parents who looked ashamed, knowing the antics their daughter had pulled before, and recently.

"Listen to me, and you better fucking listen well because I don't plan on repeating myself." Katsuki stepped closer to the brunette. She tried not to look scared as she kept her glare on him, but, her eyes gave it away how terrified she was. "If you, some spoiled and snuck up bitch from who gives a fuck land, ever insults or bad mouths my omega, my mate, ever again, I will personally see to it that you are given a punishment I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Now, get the fuck out of my sight because not burning you right now, not causing you serious harm at this moment, is only because I do not wish my mate to see me in that state. Consider yourself lucky, he was here."

Frozen in fear, not sure what to do or where to go, Camie didn't move. The twitch in the prince's clenched fist had the omega acting quickly. He stepped in from of the still very angry alpha and put a small, gentle hand on his chest even though those crimson eyes still burned holes into her head.

"Kacchan, I feel better, so why don't we share dance instead?"

Nothing, no movement. The entire room had stopped breathing at this point to see if Camie would make it to see another day alive.

"Alpha," A scarred hand reached up, using two fingers to slowly pull the dragon's chin down, making their eyes connect at the sound of the sweetly used voice. "Dance with me? Please?"

Katsuki was finally looking into those emerald eyes, finally able to take some control of himself as he let out a sigh. He didn't say anything, only melted into the omega's touch on his face and turned to the floor. People split to make way for them before they settled in the middle. Izuku positioned protective arms where they needed to, one around his waist and the other in his hand. Pink and flawless lips kissed at the still warm hand in his, finally snapping his mate into reality with him. The rabbit smiled, seeing he had his prince back.

The music started and they began. A few more people joined, the mood lightening as the prince calmed down, even smiling at his mate. This was the reason they were here, after all, to celebrate.

When the song ended, everyone went back to mingling and drinking as they were before, as if there had been no threat made at all. There were a few mutters here and there, but nothing they could make out or give a reason to stop them from doing so. The blonde had made a scene, he threatened a princess, and it was something to mutter about.

Although nothing had happened, Katsuki was still upset about the situation. Someone had disrespected his mate, had shown up to their celebration, and said those things. To even offer he mark her too and marry her, essentially throwing Izuku to the side, was ridiculous. His blood started to boil again as it had before.

As he looked around at the back to the normal guest, he tugged on Izuku's hand carefully, getting his attention. "Let's go."

Izuku only nodded with a proud smile, understanding. "Okay."

Instead of being taken to their shared room, the greenette was surprised to see they were now in the library. The blonde led him outside to the terrace and ducked the two of them behind the large door, hidden from everything and anyone, even just for a moment. He pushed the small omega to the wall, trapped him there as he wrapped arms around his waist and his warm face buried into messy green curls.

They were silent, wrapped in each other as they both calmed themselves down. Izuku was exhausted from playing the perfect new addition to the royal circle.

"I'm sorry."

Izuku ripped away, looking up to see crimson eyes staring anywhere but back at him. "For what?"

The prince sighed, knowing what his mother said earlier was true. "For being the way I am, for being so easy to get pissed off and need you there to calm me down. You shouldn't have to do that."

The rabbit leaned up as high as he could on his toes, a short kiss to the blonde's cheek. He cupped the warm face of his mate, beaming a bright smile.

"I don't mind, I never do." That made the prince feel better, like a weight lifted off of him. "Plus, either you said something or I did."

Now crimson eyes finally met emeralds.

"That so?" Katsuki smirked. "And what would my sweet harmless little bunny have to tell her?"

Izuku hummed, pursing his lips as he held his chin in thought. "I'm not sure. I was stuck between figuring out how to tell her to leave you alone and give up already, or wiping everything off a nearby table and letting you take me there in front of everyone for her to finally see that you're no longer on the market."

"I know which option I wish you would have taken."

Smiling at the joke, they finally kissed. It was gentle and sweet but very quickly turned to starvation and urgency. Tongues battled for dominance before the omega happily gave in as the alpha pushed his knee between thick thighs. Finding the right position, he earned a gasp from the rabbit below who now grinded on the leg between him.

The prince smirked more, finding they were both needing a resolution to two hardened issues. Before he could go on further, "Where the hell did they go?"

Mitsuki held her hips in annoyance as the two reasons for the festivities had disappeared. Masaru sighed, standing next to his wife. "I don't know dear but can you really blame them for wanting to be alone right now?"

The queen grunted. He crossed her arms aggressively like a certain other blonde.

"Stupid girl." She muttered. "I guess not. But still, they could have stayed a little longer!"

Lips still connected to his mate, Katsuki looked up through the crack in the door by its hinges. He saw his father look around before spotting him as well. The king squinted, not sure what it was he was seeing at first until a scarred hand now held onto the prince's cheek. Understanding now, the king smirked and held in a chuckle. "Come now honey, you can reprimand them in the morning when we find them."

He smirked to himself, thinking back to the times he and Mitsuki would also 'sneak away' when they were courting or newly mated. Instead of ratting them out, the king was always a sucker for love, more so if that love was his son's for the small rabbit who was still pinned to the wall.

"Fine, but I'm gonna rip them a new one." The queen muttered.

"I look forward to seeing it."

The two disappeared, leaving the prince alone with his red-faced rabbit again. As soon as the parents were out of earshot, a large hand reached for the dress, bringing it up higher to expose more of the omega that already smelled of slick.

"Kacchan, what are you doing?" Izuku pulled away from their kiss suddenly, gasping at the feel of a breeze on his underside. His underwear was the only thing keeping him from flashing the prince, although his stiff tip was nearly sticking out at the top already.

"I'm enjoying my mate, as I've been wanting to since you put on this sexy dress that shows you off to everyone. My perfect little bunny." He mumbled, loving the heat in freckles cheeks that appeared.

In a quick motion, Katsuki slipped the underwear left on the rabbit lower and lower before they fell around his ankles, allowing him to step out completely. Now that he was free of clothing from the waist down, and his much larger mate was shielding his body from being seen by anyone else who might walk by, the omega allowed himself to dissolve into touch. Keeping their mouths busy on the other, a large hand lowered from a thin hip to between a pair of thighs. Another gasp escaped the omega as Katsuki's hand wrapped around his throbbing cock and thumb played with the precum leaking out.

"Enjoying being played with?" There was a smirk on the blonde's lips as he mumbled into the greenette's mouth.

"Don't tease me," Izuku whined, pulling on the cape around broad shoulders.

"Then what should I do with you?"

"Whatever you're imagining in your head," Izuku snickered back, knowing he was already planning something. Why else would he drag him here and continue to kiss and touch him knowing his parents were on the other side of the door?

Katsuki only smiled.

Fingers moved to a leaking hole that was ready as two digits entered the greenette, making him purr. The alpha above him took in the scene of the red-faced omega trying to hold in his voice. "Don't hide from me Izuku, I want to hear you."

"There are people here, guests, important people. What if one of them sees?" Katsuki unbuckled his belt, opening his pants and allowing himself to spring free.

"What if someone sees me pleasuring my irresistible mate?" The cocky prince smirked more, taking hold of both of Izuku's thighs and lifting him higher on the wall. The greenette looked up at the blonde, he was nervous and didn't like leaving all his weight in the hands of his mate. He knew Katsuki would never drop him, never harm him, but this was still nerve-wracking. "Fucking let them. Let them hear the amazing sounds only I can get out of you. Fucking let them."

Izuku was at a loss for words now, only able to moan as the alpha pushed into him. Sure they had done this already, but the feeling of being so full like this was something that shocked him every time. He'd never get used to it, and he'd always look forward to it too.

There they stayed, Izuku hidden behind the larger blonde while being pounded endlessly with a needy and endless desire. He knew it was because someone had made the dragon pissed and he was taking it out on him, letting his frustrations out in every thrust. They were rough and relentless. The clenched mouth and vein in the forehead only made this prince that much more attractive, excessively more sexy. Although there were some pants and moans between them, grunting from the alpha, Izuku leaned forward, taking those lips he craved so much.

Katsuki crooned, loving the feeling of his little mate wanting him like this. He plunged his tongue into the smaller mouth, tasting every corner. While there, a deep gut feeling was rising in them both, thrust getting sloppier, but just as hard.

"Fuck, Izuku - You feel so fucking good!" He grunted, loving to feel the rabbit surround him. Small claws sunk into the alpha's back, signaling the omega was close too, deep purrs and some SLOPPY moans were the only thing Izuku could get out. "Come on baby, let me see you come on my fucking cock. I want to see how good it makes you feel to have your alpha fucking your tight little hole where anyone could see."

"Kacchan - oh god - Kacchan!" Izuku let his mouth hang open as he came, a loud noise escaping him as he clung to the prince. His entrance tightened and contracted around his alpha's cock, making Katsuki's knees nearly give out as he came inside.

"Fuck that feels so damn good, Izuku!" There were no words, nothing to be said as they calmed down from their highs. The rabbit was fully limp now as the prince used the wall to keep them both up. "I love you, my little bunny."

"I love you, my alpha."

Chapter Text

The windows in the shared bedroom allowed the wind to come in, waking Katsuki up. The curtains were blowing in swift motions to the gentle and easy breeze. It was still early morning, the sun not yet rising, but it was trying. Crimson eyes raked over the bare and freckled skin next to him, kissing the shoulder, neck, and cheek of a still very asleep rabbit. He and Izuku had come back to their room, only to continue what they had been doing on the balcony before.

Seeing the greenette was in a deep sleep and would likely be like that for probably an hour at least, the blonde thought it would be a great idea to sneak downstairs to gather their breakfast and surprise the smaller omega with it when he woke up. Smiling, thinking about the sleepy greenette waking up and grinning at the gesture, he slowly slid on a pair of pants, forgetting everything else since he was coming right back. He was mindful not to make a noise as he slipped out of the room quietly. He successfully closed the door with a quiet click and tip-toed backward to get some room between him and the room.

Unfortunately, as soon as the blonde turned, the smile on his face melted right away. Camie was there, leaning against the wall with her arms crossed and brows down. How long had she been waiting here? What the hell could she possibly want?

She opened her mouth as she stormed over to the prince. Katsuki was ready to fight, to burn her officially, to give her a permanent reminder. Instead, her eyes glanced down at his exposed chest and her expression changed. Her mouth just hung open now in shock. Looking down at himself, he smirked. Izuku had left love bites all over, marks on him, nails digging into his sides, and back left lines on his skin as well. It was now very clear to the girl in front of him, he was enjoying his time with his mate last night.

Barring her teeth, she spoke way too loud a few feet from a door where a sleeping rabbit was on the other side. "Tell me, I want to know! Why him? Is he blackmailing you somehow or just that good of a fuck? I don't understand what that damn rabbit has that I can't offer you. He doesn't come from anything, he isn't anything compared to us, so why? I want to know!"

"Camie, we've been over this so many damn times, but if you must fucking know, I hate you," Katsuki spoke in a normal volume, wanting her to understand just how loud she was being. He looked back, seeing the door still closed and not hearing signs of it opening just yet. Hopefully, Izuku was still asleep.

He tried to go downstairs, only to have her move in front of him again. Her voice was even louder now, making him cringe and get more angry with her. She balled her fist and hit his chest.

"Wait! Tell me!" He pushed her off, walking past her but she pulled on his wrist. "Tell me!" Katsuki turned around, not expecting to have her do that, plus he was still waking up. This caused him to pin her back to a wall, holding her upper arms tighter than he needed to, rage guiding his strength now. Camie gasped, tears gathering in her eyes, from the pain or emotions, unsure. "I won't leave until I know why you picked him over me!"

"For starters, you're fucking ugly!" Camie's mouth dropped, hurt to hear those words. "Everything about you is fucking ugly. Your looks aren't that impressive, your personality makes it worse, your scent is repulsive, and everything about being in the same room as you makes me want to crawl out of my goddamn skin. I have hated you from the moment I met you and your behavior toward others has only made me resent you every time you open your nasty mouth. You're selfish, arrogant, entitled, and a spoiled fucking brat. I don't like you, bitch."

Katsuki dropped her on her feet but she remained in place. One hand on the wall to trap her so she stays to hear the rest, and one hand pointing at the door, he went on.

"That rabbit, that omega you claim is lower than us, is the best fucking person I know. Loves everything, and everyone, caring, kind, compassionate, and most of all, he's the most amazing thing to ever have happened to me. I wish everyone, including you, could experience the love I have for Izuku. Not only is he the most gorgeous thing to ever have existed, but he smells like heaven and his smile is just as bright as the rest of his soul. So, to wrap this all up. You're a piece of shit, nothing about you comes close to comparison to what he does to me and gives me with every breath he takes. I'd kill for him. I sure as hell wouldn't hesitate to kill you if he just asked."

The prince didn't care how badly the brunette in front of him was crying. He didn't care to see her upset, or when she pulled on his arm once more. "Please, just give me one more chance."

Before he could say anything else or push her off, a hand appeared from nowhere. Izuku now stood between us. He had wrapped himself in the prince's cape, hearing the yelling and quickly finding something to cover up as he rushed out. His hand gripped and clawed into the girl's forearm. His eyes seemed to be glowing in rage as his fangs were out as well. He didn't look at Katsuki, no, his emerald eyes were focused on setting fire to the girl if he tried hard enough. Camie appeared terrified at the omega holding her. She struggled, trying to get out of his hold but it was tight. Izuku stepped in again, his face in hers.

"Do not ever touch my alpha again." When he spoke, it was deep, low, and scared even the alpha to hear something like that come from his sweet little mate. "If I see you within three feet of him ever again, I will rip out your throat and stand there long enough to gladly watch you choke on your own blood. Now, leave us the fuck alone."

Izuku aggressively shoved Camie, her footing barely finding it in time. As she stood, Izuku moved behind his mate, his arms circling the wide torso, holding the smirking prince securely. Katsuki smirked at him, holding onto his omega's arm that crossed over his chest. He was proud of his little mate, standing up like that. Then, he turned to scowl at the damn princess who was still there. "I think it's best if you leave my kingdom as soon as possible."

The united front stayed there, staring daggers at the girl who kept looking between them both before letting out a sob and turning on her heel. When she was out of sight, Katsuki was quick to scoop his frightening rabbit into his arms. There were no words exchanged, Izuku didn't even meet his eyes as they entered their room again, the door slamming shut behind them. Careful to put the greenette on his feet in front of the bed, the blonde kept smiling.

Katsuki was quickly taken off guard as Izuku threw the cape to the side, revealing his naked body. Confused and before he could think about his next move, the omega takes the initiative and pushes the prince with enough force to plant him in the center of their bed. Izuku climbed between the alpha's legs, unbuttoning his pants while Katsuki kicked his boots back off.

Pants hit the floor as Izuku takes the prince's half-hard cock into his mouth, sucking on the tip. "F-fuck!"

Crimson eyes met bright emerald orbs as Izuku flattened his tongue, keeping eye contact as he swallowed the majority of the prince's length. Feeling the omega's throat convulse from holding in a choke as Izuku attempts to take in more, blonde spikes fall into the bed. Only a small burst of croons and pants from the alpha are heard and lewd noises are made from his mate between his legs. One hand pumps away at the amount unreachable by his mouth as another hand finds the prince's balls, messaging them simultaneously. Katsuki is a mess, unsure what got into his little rabbit, but not minding it or about to say anything, not right at this moment anyway.

"Just like that, oh god. That feelings fucking amazing little bunny."

Kazuki barely chokes out.Izuku pulls off, keeping his tongue around the head, licking and playing with the precum leaking from the blonde. It's exciting to feel, and better to watch as the small greenette also seems to be enjoying himself. As the tongue laps around in a circular motion again, the rabbit takes a deep breath through his nose and takes the full length in his throat now.

"O-oh, fu~ck!" Izuku's head bobs, taking in the full amount of the impressively sized cock, pulling off to twirl his tongue on and suck on the tip, then back down. It only takes doing this a handful of times as fingers tightly hold onto green curls before Katsuki is panting harder. "Izu-ku, I - I'm gonna - ah - get off so I can come. I don't want - oh god."

Never had the prince felt something like this, never been taken completely over like this either. He was in total disarray, and not sure what to do. He was more at a loss when Izuku didn't release him, instead, he picked up the pace, his hand and head moving faster as his scarred hand reached up to play with and run over the defined abs of his alpha. It only made Katsuki tip over the edge harder, shooting ropes of white into the rabbit's throat. Without pulling off, Izuku takes it, swallowing each drop. Feeling his throat work to swallow it down around him made the dragon nearly let out a silent scream of pure pleasure, only seeing white from hitting his climax so hard. Without being needed to do so or asked, the rabbit also licked up whatever dared to spill out.

Katsuki watched as the greenette move up on his hips, not allowing any time to pass before rubbing his ass cheeks on the abused cock, making it stiff once again. This was not normal, this was new, and this was not his usual omega.

Then it all made sense. Izuku had heard Camie ask to give him a chance, meaning to take her too. She was touching Katsuki, holding his arm, standing close to him. Suddenly, it felt nice to know the prince was not the only jealous one in this. "Izuku, are you okay?"

Still grinding and moving himself on the growing member of his mate, Izuku bit into the perfect chest under him. He released his minty scent, spreading it over the prince below. "Mine. My alpha. My mate."

Those gorgeous emerald eyes were still glowing and his small fangs were out, making the blonde bleed slightly. It became clear to the prince now, that his omega was feral. Feral to know someone else was trying to take his alpha, feral to think people out there see him as an option to take. The dragon knew he needed to calm and secure his omega before this went too far and he hurt someone but, there was no way he was going to end the omega's current movements, not when he was having this much fun.

Instead, Katsuki scented him right back. He'd worry about calming him later.

"I'm all yours little bunny."

Izuku arched his back, reaching between his legs to put the alpha's cock into position as he sank, taking him in inch by inch as he was still stretched out from last night's fun. They both moaned at the feeling. Katsuki was relishing being taken over, and his omega was marking his territory.

Allowing himself to adjust first, Izuku slowly lifted himself on toned and muscular rabbit legs, rocking his hips. His undersized hands spread out to hold himself up on the wide and miscolored chest below. His emerald eyes wandered over the body of his alpha. Tall, wide, built like a god, and all his. Getting even more excited to see what he had claim to, he lifted himself higher, bouncing his ass even harder onto the cock below. Katsuki's hands gripped slim hips, barely having much thought process to help move him along as he let the greenette have his way. God this was amazing for the both of them.

"Izuku, you're so beautiful, you ride your alpha so well - Don't stop baby, just like that, oh fuck yeah."

The rabbit's moans and purrs had taken over the room along with the dragon's grunts and growls from seeing him like this. The feeling in both of them was building, Izuku getting slightly tired and only slowing down a little. This is where Katsuki gained some control, holding a slim waist higher and bringing his own up to thrust at the same time the omega dropped his hips. It was the right depth to reach the rabbit's perfect spot, hard enough to make him pretty much scream out his pleasure, and exactly what they both needed.

Izuku's hole contracted against him as he came on the alpha's stomach and chest. Katsuki's eyes rolled into the back of his head, feeling another heavy climax come over him as he selfishly enjoyed every second. His arms held his greenette, making sure he was taking deep breaths, calming down, and coming down from being feral as well.

"Holy shit Izuku, that was fucking insane. If I knew you'd get like this, maybe I'd let more people touch me."

This was not what the tired rabbit wanted to hear as he fell into the bed. He growled, scowling at the blonde. "I can get Camie if you want and leave alone with her."

He was cold in his response, but Katsuki only chuckled, pulling the omega closer to him to kiss him. "Well, that would just be cruel."

Izuku couldn't help but smirk now, tilting his head up to let his alpha kiss him properly, deeply. "That's what I thought."

A/N:
We love a feral rabbit.

Chapter Text

Today, the mated couple had to spend it apart from one another and it had them both a little nervous. However, those fears are quickly put aside when the queen tells him he is seeing what she does or tries to do monthly. This puts Izuku at ease only slightly as he is curious about what his responsibilities will be one day.They arrive at the local infirmary. Right away they are greeted by the sick, injured, and staff. "Your Majesties, we are happy to see you here."

"Happy to be here. Tell us where you need us or what we can do to help." Izuku was taken aback, not expecting to hear they were there to assist. A smile pulled on his lips as they were allowed to work on small things. The rabbit personally wrapped a bandage around a woman who burned herself while preparing food, and another person who had knicked themselves and needed a small amount of bandage applied.

A little girl was next, she had gotten poison ivy from picking the wrong flower. He was enthusiastic to see her and take over applying ointment. "Eri, nice to see you again, although not under these circumstances."

The greenette gave her a reassuring smile which she returned. "Midoriya!"

The queen appeared at the omega's side. "You two know each other?"

"Yes, very well. You know her too, or at least her work." Izuku winked at her, making her giggle and flush with bashfulness. Mitsuki smiled but was confused. "This is Eri, she and her mother own the flower shop near the gates and she personally made you a bouquet when the prince needed help."

She gasped and clapped her hands together. "Eri, oh my goodness! I loved those so much! The red ones smelled so good but the yellow ones were so pretty. You did an amazing job."

The little girl was in awe of her work being not just known but remembered by none other than the queen herself. She beamed brightly at her mom whose lap she sat in in. "She got my flowers, mama!"

"Yes, I certainly did. I'm glad you were there, my Katsuki doesn't know how to pick flowers, unfortunately. He is going to need some help again." She smiled, pulling a string of hair from the girl's face and placing it behind her ear as she giggled at the memory of the prince telling her he was no good at it.

"I can always help." Eri proudly admitted.

They stayed to help until the infirmary was nearly empty. Mitsuki carried on, stopping to talk to a few citizens, friends, and known people here and there. She made it a big deal to make sure she greeted everyone and introduced them to Izuku who most already knew. They congratulated him on his new mate being the prince. It was nice to know there was more to ruling aside a king other than reading and sitting in on boring meetings. No, he had something more to look forward to now.

They had one last stop and once they got closer, it was becoming more and more obvious where they were going. He got excited as he spotted the orphanage. "Have you been here before?"

Izuku nodded. "Yes, after mom passed, I grew up here."

The queen's smile dropped, thinking it over. He had only been a child, of course, he would have been taken to a place like this to grow up. Not when she didn't step up like she needed to. "Izuku, I cannot say I'm sorry enough. I should have been there, checked on you, taken you in. Instead, I was scared of my own emotions."

The rabbit leaned forward. He took the queen's hand and smiled up at her. "You have nothing to be sorry for. My mother was your friend, a close one at that. We were both mourning her, I still do to this day. And, as far as taking me in, I'm sort of glad you didn't."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I got to grow up here with Keane and Cho who I love and to this day I still check in with. I had a good life. Plus, I like how Kacchan and I were reunited, as if fate was telling us we were meant to be side by side. It's more romantic than saying we were raised together. This way is much better." He beamed, adoring their story from the beginning.

Mitsuki smirked, seeing this rabbit was truly in love with her son. She thought back to them growing up. The play fighting, the shared naps, the hand-holding, and the blonde taking care of his accident-prone friend. It was all coming together as she and Inko had predicted so long ago.

She chuckled to herself, thinking in her head. 'Oh Inko, if only you had a front-row ticket to watch them fall in love a second time like I do.'

When the carriage stopped, Izuku was already halfway out the door. The kids were already starting to gather around. Seeing it was him, they cheered and threw their latest updates at him. "Midoriya! Look, my tooth fell out!"

"Whoa, that's so cool!" He cheered on the four-year-old.

"Midoriya, I picked the biggest mushroom yesterday."

"Hey, where have you been?"

"Why are you in a fancy carriage?"

"What's on your neck? Did you get in a fight or something?"

"Alright enough you little monsters, let the poor boy greet his elders finally," Keane grunted out, making them move around so the greenette could hug the older couple. Cho kissed his cheek as Keane smacked the side of his head. "Where have you been boy? We've had a leaky roof for a week and I need you up there to repair it."

"Sorry, I may be at fault for keeping him so busy. Myself and my son really." Mitsuki interrupted. They all gasped at her, seeing them together was a shock.

"The prince? Izuku don't tell me your mark is from him?" Cho teased, knowing he used to be friends with the blonde. Izuku blushed and nodded. "Oh, how great!"

"Whoa, you're mated to the prince? Does that make you a princess?" One girl asked.

"Not until after the wedding." Mitsuki interrupted.

Suddenly, she and Cho were now very good friends as they chatted over tea about the boys' relationship while the rabbit was put to work as usual.

Across the realm, the rain started to fall hard along cobblestone streets. On the end of the road sat a pub, one not regular to just anyone. This particular establishment was known to hold only the strongest and meanest. Common civilians were thrown out so only the boldest remained. In a back room, three strangers introduced themselves to one another. "So, other than being told you'd be working in a group and the price, what else were you guys told?"

"I was given the price of payment and was already fucking sold. I didn't need any further explanation." One of them joked, tilting his head back to take a drink from his beer mug.

"With the amount this crazy customer is willing to pay us each, does it really fucking matter what else there is in the story?" A third chimed in. He was quieter but the biggest among them. He sighed, looking around for the customer to join them.

The front door opened to reveal a small person covered in a thick cloak. The new person pulled everyone's attention, not fitting into the theme of thugs and criminals. Without saying anything, this person glided across the floor to the back room, shutting the door behind them. As the men looked at the mysterious person, about to tell them to fuck off, the hood was pulled off to reveal their face.

"Holy shit." One gasped

."You're fucking joking, right?" A second added, nearly choking on his drink as he started to laugh. The bigger of the three rolled his eyes. This wasn't his first time doing something sketchy for a royal.

The third man took the lead. "Princess, what can we do for you?"

Camie smirked, seeing these men ready to follow her every command. "I have a situation and I need you to get rid of a certain omega rabbit."

"Omega rabbit? Damn, those sell like fucking crazy right now."

"Exactly, that is my intention with this one. I already have a buyer interested in taking him off my hands once you boys capture him." She stated smugly.

The third man, being the more experienced one here obviously, saw right through this and sighed before asking a question he knew he'd regret. "Who is the rabbit and what kingdom will we be avoiding the rest of our lives?"

The princess gave him a look up and down.

"Smart, meaning you'll survive." The man clicked his tongue. "He is the mate of Prince Katsuki Bakugo of the Crimson Kingdom."

"The dragons? Yeah, fuck no lady."

"Yeah, they are like the worst people to piss off. Aren't they like super temperamental and easy to piss off in the first place? Now you want us to kidnap one of their mates to sell to someone else?" The second man wiped his face and shook his head. "What's he done to you?"

"He's distracting the prince from realizing his marriage, his mark, should belong to someone in our status. Not some commoner rabbit like this fucking idiot. He's brainwashing the prince and needs to get out of the picture." Camie barked out. Just thinking about seeing Katsuki covered in all those marks brought back the same amount of rage from before. "The rabbit isn't worth anything, a nobody but, apparently, he's so good in the sack that my honey bear can't see past the fact he's a fucking whore and no more."

The three men shared a look. The girl was off the deep end, truly insane. Lucky for them, she was also willing to pay whatever it took to get what she wanted.

"I know you already offered half a million each, but now that we're aware of who we're dealing with, dragons, royals, someone already mated, you're asking to risk a hell of a lot more than what I think half a million is worth." The third man commented, rolling his shoulders back. "Just saying, I don't see this going all too smoothly. Not to mention the amount of time we'll have to scout that giant house of theirs to figure out how to do it."

The other two were picking up on what was going on. Keeping their mouths shut, they nodded in agreement. The princess rolled her eyes.

"Half a million when you drop him off, and when I get paid from the buyer, I'll split that three ways, giving you each a full million." She stated as is that wasn't a huge number.

"This guy is paying you one and a half million for this rabbit?" One of them spit out.

Camie only shrugged. "It was the first price he offered and honestly I'm not doing this so much for the money as I am to just get him the fuck out of my way. So, how does that sound now?"

The three looked at each other, nodding before the bigger of the three leaned across the table, extending his hand. "You've got yourself a deal miss."

"Good. Oh and, I don't care about his condition, as long as he's in one piece when the buyer arrives. So, do with that information as you want." The first two men snickered. "I'll let you know when I see an opportunity for you to strike. Head there, figure out the best way to go about it, and keep me in your loop. Send your letters accordingly. I'd rather not my name be attached to this, for my future husband's sake."

"Of course." One of them smirked, watching her lift her hood back onto her head and leave the place. Once she was gone, they shook their heads. "Crazy bitches with money always get what they want."

"Which means we'll always be in business boy." They cheered slightly, clinking their glass before making their plan. A plan to kidnap Izuku.

Damn Camie....

Chapter Text

Katsuki felt a pull on his arms as the omega tried to get out of bed. Instead of letting the omega up, the prince wrapped his arms around the small waist and dragged the smaller one right back to his chest. Izuku smiled, circling his arms around the alpha in return.

"Kacchan, I have to go. I promised your mother to help her with some of her meetings today." The rabbit giggled, knocking his head back to rest further into the blonde's neck.

"That hag likes you more than me. She hogged you all day yesterday and every day this week. Stay here. Stay with me." Katsuki nuzzled into green curls, something the omega noticed he does a lot lately. He was curious why, wondering what made the alpha do it as often as he did but didn't want it to stop.

Well, nuzzling his hair was one of many things Izuku noticed him doing lately. He was clingy, protective, and hovering over the smaller one constantly. The greenette didn't mind it, he was going along with it because of how much they were both enjoying it. The rabbit liked him wanting to be so close and watching over him. It was a side of the big strong alpha that was only reserved for Izuku. The little greenette turned in his arms, facing him, putting a hand on his cheek. "Your mother loves you. She just, well-"

"Love you more." The blonde groaned out, putting his forehead against a freckled one.

"Can you blame her?"

Crimson eyes opened to look at his smirking omega, pulling him in for a small kiss before sighing. "No, I cannot."

They stayed there a while longer. Both of them nearly fell back asleep if not for the maid who knocked on the door to tell them breakfast was ready and the queen requested them to be there as soon as possible. Katsuki let out a growl, letting his omega free.

"Fine, you can have your day with my mother, but I get you tonight for dinner, alone."

Izuku giggled, as he slid off the bed. He glanced over his shoulder at his mate who watched his every move as the greenette walked to the closet. "Agreed. Now, get dressed, do some work, and the day will fly by."

"You better hope so."

"I do."

********

Boots were nearly trembling as Katsuki stood outside the door to the room he shared with his omega. All day long he had been preparing for this and didn't want to fuck it up. Anyone could have guessed the overly kind and considerate rabbit would love the surprise and overall gesture but, that didn't stop the nerves from making him shake as he waited. He let out a sigh, pacing in front of the door when he heard small footsteps approaching. Quickly he fixed his posture, running a hand through blonde spikes and raising the bouquet of flowers to his chest.

Izuku wipes his face with both hands, letting out an exhausted groan before looking up. He jumped a little, not expecting to see crimson eyes already looking at him. Noticing now the stiff alpha who was awkwardly smiling with flowers in hand. Putting on a blinding smile, he leaped at his alpha, letting powerful arms catch him and give him a twirl. Legs wrapped around the stronger waist as he buried his nose into the tanned nape. They were both smiling as the rabbit took in the dominating pleased pheromones coming from the blonde. "Hi, Kacchan."

"Hi, little bunny." Katsuki kissed him, letting it linger on pink lips before placing him back on his own two feet. He extended the mix of flowers. "Sincerely made by Eri."

"Awe, how nice." He took a deep breath, loving the scent. "So nice to be able to smell these instead of just enjoying them now."

"I'm glad you like them. Are you hungry?"

Izuku nodded, taking the arm that was held out to him as they entered their room. At first, nothing looked different, confusing him as the prince just asked him about food. Then, walking around their bed, the doors to their balcony were open to reveal a cute little table and matching chairs with candles, wine, and dinner, ready to be served. The prince watched carefully as joy overtook his omega. His nerves from before disappearing to see he had pulled this off.

"Kacchan, this is beautiful." He bounced to the table, seeing there was a vase in the middle of the table for his flowers. Emerald eyes looked back at his mate, seeing there was a proud smile on his handsomely sharp features. "You did an amazing job alpha."

The prince was even more gentlemanly as he pulled the chair out for the omega, letting him sit before pulling his chair close as well. They were quickly caught up in a conversation. Katsuki explained his day of sitting in the lounge room with his nobles as usual. He told how Denki and Kirishima started an arm wrestling contest as well, getting some of the staff and guards to join them as well. It was entertaining until the crowd of cheering and chanting was interrupting his work. Izuku told about his day, sitting in on meetings with kitchen staff, receiving letters from all around, and some guests coming in from the kingdom to bring up important topics.

If there was something the prince enjoyed but would never say out loud, it was his love of hearing his mate ramble. The way he carried on and on like everything in this world was meant to be admired and cherished, it was like nothing else out there. No one cared for or looked at the world like the omega did. Even after everything he had been through, his mother's tragic passing, his constant struggle against kidnappers, and even his recent interaction with a brunette princess, Izuku was still as cheerful and as affectionate as possible.

"Sounds like you had a good day. I'm actually a little jealous. Anytime I'm with her I can't get her to shut the hell up about grand pups, even though we aren't even married yet. She can't calm down about it though." Katsuki groaned out, rolling his eyes from remembering so many conversations over the same thing. He couldn't talk to his mother without the topic being brought up.

The omega seemed to clam up. Their meal was finished, meaning there was nothing to distract the blonde from noticing the change in his mate. Izuku finished his glass of wine before standing up and moving to stand in front of his alpha. The blonde was confused but, scooted back to see more of his mate.

"She mentioned it to me a couple of times too, just making sure I wanted pups," Izuku admitted, lowering himself to sit on his alpha's lap, peering into those crimson eyes. The greenette was glancing from one pupil to the other, reading his face as he asked, "Do you want pups?"

Katsuki froze, his breathing pausing as he looked at his mate. He knew deep down there was likely more to this question other than a simple yes or no. Izuku was asking if he wanted pups with him, to be a family, to grow old together. It was something the prince had been thinking a lot about. Yes, he loved the little omega, yes he cared deeply for him, and yes there was a part of him that wanted nothing more than to be a family with his mate.

Pups were never in the blonde's mind, never in the picture. Having a mate was something he was beginning to accept was never going to happen for him. To think that was all changing because his childhood best friend waltzed back into his life, was amazing.

"I do." It was an answer that surprised even the mouth that said it. "I want pups with you one day."

The way they looked at each other right now, it was like they were trying to read the other's mind. They were both wondering what to say now, what to do, how to go from here. Of course, they just admitted to having pups one day so, with pups on the mind, the alpha pulled him closer. Their kiss was deep and needy like they had been away from each other for too long. Sure they had spent a majority of the day apart as they did their task, but they were apart either way.

Katsuki stood, wiping the table in front of them off, everything on it crashing down at their feet as the blonde placed his mate down. Izuku giggled, hugging the broad shoulders in front of him. "Maybe we don't have pups, right this minute?"

The prince smirked, holding the omega's chin in his hand gently. "Oh no little bunny, this is my dessert."

There was a look of confusion across the greenette's face before large hands started to remove his pants. Izuku abused his bottom lip between his teeth in anticipation as he lifted his hips to remove the clothing faster. As soon as they were off, his legs were thrown over each of the wide shoulders in front of him, pulling him closer. The smaller one gasped as a tongue licked at his entrance, taking in all the slick coming from him.

Again and again, the alpha's tongue stroked at the hole, making the blushing omega purr and moan. Each noise let the larger one know just how much the omega was enjoying this. Seeing how much his omega was having, the prince inserted his tongue into the entrance, circling the hole with his tongue while devouring any slick that leaked out. With each flick the skilled mouth made, he was sure to press the inside the readied hole, making the omega squirm from the sensation. There was no avoiding the hot breath on his most sensitive body part as well.

A calloused hand reached up, pumping his mate's cock as well, giving him double the amount of pleasure. The greenette's back arched, experiencing it all at the same time as the rabbit held onto the edges of the table like a lifeline. His head hung off the table as well, letting it dangle off as his alpha had his way. Katsuki crooned, the vibration only making the action deeply intense.

"O-o-oh, m-my g-god. Kacch-ah-an!" Izuku was on the edge and Katsuki knew it, smirking as his tongue was entering and exiting his entrance while also pumping his cock in rhythm with his mouth. "N-no, no! I - fuck, I'm-"

The omega was a mess as his back lifted off the table and he let out a loud moan. His jaw hung open his eyes shut while his legs jolted from the extreme orgasm. Once he had calmed down, he lifted his head, seeing the smirking alpha lick at his lips and hand with zero shame. Izuku couldn't help but smile as well, loving how much they enjoyed the other. Yes, they had their intimate moments like this one, but they were so very obsessed with the other. Thinking about the other when they weren't together, considering what the other was doing too.

"My tasty little bunny," Katsuki stated in a seductive and low tone.

Izuku smiled, sitting up and reaching down for his alpha's pants. The prince kept his smirk, allowing his mate to remove his clothing. Crimson watched in enjoyment as the rabbit had a look of lust mixed with determination on his face. When he stood, his pants fell to his ankles. He rubbed his hardened cock against his omega's then lowered the tip to catch on his rim and lift as to not enter the prepared hole, playing with him. "Stop toying with me and just fuck me already."

The prince couldn't help but smile as he put his forehead to his mate's while pushing into him at the same time. They both let out a sound of pleasure before they went on. Katsuki found a brutal and dangerous pace right away.

"I missed you - Ngh - All fucking day."

"I can tell - Ah!"

The table creacked below them as they went on. Izuku's legs now moved to only one shoulder which the prince held onto tightly, tugging at them with every thrust. This position made the already amazing hole of his omega that much tighter for him. The way it molded to his cock when he was pressed in and how it squeezed at him when he pulled out as if to keep him in place, it was heaven on earth.

Izuku's teary eyes found his mate's, letting him know he was nearing his climax as his mouth hung open from moaning. "Al-pha!"

Seeing this, only encouraged the blonde to press harder, faster, deeper, dragging his tip along the walls of his omega. He made sure to hit a certain spot as well, making the greenette under him let out a loud final moan as he painted their stomach.

The prince wasn't far behind, gripping at the legs he held onto so tight. He growled and crooned at the same time, spilling into the rabbit, and pulled out at the same time to not let too much cum enter the greenette. They panted, taking a minute for them to calm down for a while before legs were finally able to be lowered. Katsuki sat back down, pulling his omega into his lap and kissing his temple.

"Mmm. Best dessert I've had in years."

Chapter Text

Hands held a freckled temple tightly, trying to get the pulsing pressure to go away as he was in the middle of reading. Giving up, he put his book down on the table in front of him and leaned back into his chair. Emerald eyes clamped shut as he groaned. "Izuku? What's wrong?"

The blonde had just walked into the library to look for his mate when he heard sounds of discomfort from said mate. Now that he was closer, the scent of burnt mint hung in the air as well. Izuku only shook his head. "Just my head. I think I'm getting close to my heart and my body is acting up."

"Okay, why don't you head to our bed and I go get you a few of those snacks you liked the other day? I can grab some water as well." Crimson eyes looked over his omega, checking on him as he stood.

"Yeah, that's a good idea."

Izuku hated being blindsided like this. He was normally so good about checking when to prepare and be ready for his heats. Lately, in the comfort of the castle and with his mate, he was lacking the motivation to do anything for himself. He walked around doing anything and everything possible to better his future for him and the mate he took on which just so happened to be the prince of this kingdom. It was overwhelming at times, much like right now as it was the reason he hadn't been keeping an eye on what day it was.

He wouldn't change it for the world though. He loved his alpha, his childhood friend, their story of getting together, how the alpha took care of him, helping him get his sense of small back. Everything about their relationship was perfect to the omega.

"Guard, go with him and check the room is empty before you leave him there. I'll be there in a moment." Katsuki demanded from a nearby guard.

"Yes, Your Highness. Midoriya, right this way." The large guard held a hand out, helping the hurting omega to the stairs as the prince hurried to get the items he promised. The guard did as he was told, letting the omega sit in a chair as he inspected the room. He was a beta so the pheromones Izuku was putting off were not affecting him as much as they would an alpha, and he was already mated so even if he could sense them, he'd be repulsed by the greenete. He shortly returned from locking the patio doors. "Room is secure Midoriya. I'll stand guard at your door until His Highness arrives."

"Thank you, I appreciate you." The omega smiled at him as he exited the room to stand there as he said he would.

While he had the time to do so, the omega walked around the room gathering items to make a better nest than the one they had been sharing so far. He got a handful of the blonde's capes, more blankets that had a fire-like scent, and some other things that smelt like the alpha. He organized them the way he liked before covering himself in a cape and resting on his knees to look at his work of art. As he sat there, his stomach pained him and his head throbbed again. His ears and tail grew from his body now, his heat approaching quickly from the smells of an alpha being near.

As the rabbit sat there, he looked around the room. Just a little over eight months ago he was walking into the castle to deliver a crate of something unknown to the prince who he had completely forgotten about. It was still a shock to them both that, as they mourned their friendship, they both decided to just shove those feelings deep down instead of dealing with them. They truly were a perfect match as their feelings and reactions almost mimicked each other. It was no surprise though, spending so much time growing up together at such a young age, a lot of their traits and behavior now were rubbed off from the other. Katsuki's social skills are much better than they could be, based on watching the greenette interact with others on staff. Izuku's sassy comebacks were all from having quick things to say to get back at the brass blonde he would play fight with.

Their lives had changed dramatically because of the other and they were both indulging in it. Just as he was getting sentimental about it all, the door opened slowly. Panting and slightly sweaty, the blonde prince entered the room, arms full of snacks and water. "Kacchan."

Izuku smiled, holding his arms out to his mate. Crimson eyes looked him over, finding him adorably wrapped in one of his capes in the center of their bed. The beaming smile and grasping hands were almost enough to drag him to bed right away. His inner alpha sure as hell was screaming at him to join but, he knew it would only end badly at this time.

Katsuki put the items down on a table near the wall. Slowly he turned to face his mate who was still waiting for him. The greenette had now moved to the edge of the bed, waiting to be held. Reluctantly, the dragon looked at his lips, unable to meet those emerald eyes. "I can't join you."

"W-what? Why?" Izuku thought he might start to cry immediately. Now was not the time to tell him that, not when he was this needy, not when his stomach was starting to turn from his heat. "Did I do something wrong?"

"No, of course not. You could never." Katsuki held smaller hands in his, sighing as he looked at them. Mindlessly his thumb rubbed the scar across his mate's knuckles, hating to admit he wouldn't join his heat. Meanwhile, his head was starting to throb too as his instincts were yelling at him to shut up and stop hurting his mate's feelings. "I uh - fuck - It's my rut. I can feel it coming and I don't think that being together at the same time as your heat is a good idea."

The omega understood right away. Rut meant the alpha would have a knot. A knot, during his rabbit omega heat, would mean Izuku would almost for sure end up pregnant with a very little chance of it not working. He was most fertile during his heat, a knot session lasted at least ten minutes, and they had only just become mates. None of it was a good idea, not right now, not at this time. Then again, Izuku's heat was already taking over as he held on tightly to his alpha's hands.

"Stay."

"What, no. Deku, if I stay then there is a ninety-five percent, maybe even higher chance of you getting-"

"Stay. Help me with my heat and I'll help you with your rut." Izuku lifted his hands, rubbing them along his arms as he removed the collar from his neck. Arousal pheromones filled the air around him, making the blonde want to croon and give in. Seeing his alpha hold back, Izuku leaned in closer, putting his nose against the prince's neck. He kissed and nipped at the skin as his hands traveled over his chest and into the blonde spikes he loved so much. "Stay, and we both feel better. Please, my alpha."

The way he whispered it into the dragon's ear sealed the deal. Katsuki wrapped his arms around the smaller waist in front of him, dragging them both to the center of the bed, putting the greenette on his back now. He wasted no time as right away his mouth found the mark on his mate's neck, kissing it, biting it, bruising the skin under him as he adjusted himself between the rabbit's legs.

"Mmm, omega." The rut was creeping in and taking full control over the blonde. Katsuki was losing his cognitive mind as the inner alpha in him took over. Crimson's eyes looked down at his shirtless mate who was groaning as he held his stomach, a wave of pain hitting him. He bent down, putting his lips to his navel. The alpha kissed it as if healing him as warm hands traveled lowered on the freckled skin under him. Izuku purred, looping his thumbs into the already loosened pants he was wearing and taking them off. The omega was now naked, his skin getting hotter by the minute. "My precious omega. My sweet little bunny."

Izuku smiled, loving how both his cognitive mate and the inner alpha called him 'little bunny' with such lust. It was a nickname he was beginning to sincerely enjoy. "Alpha, I need you."

"Of course. Anything for omega." The alpha spoke with such confidence. He turned his omega around, putting him on his hands and knees as he worked on getting his own clothes off. "My beautiful omega. No one else gets you, no one else has had you. Only for me, no one else, not ever."

"Only you," Izuku confirmed, looking over his shoulder as his alpha's eyes focused on his entrance which was ready with slick.

Large hands held onto the hips in front of him harder than needed. In his rut, the prince's wings, horns, and tail sprouted from his body. His canines extended as well. They weren't as long as they could be, but most definitely longer. Being a dragon, his hands were warmer as well, heating slowly. It stung, but for some reason, the omega loved it, like another marking from the alpha.

The tip of the prince's cock smeared slick around the entrance, admiring it before pushing in and letting out a growl to show dominance. The room now held both mate's pheromones of arousal. Mint, campfire, and earthy tones swirled together, likely leaking into the hallway for those to smell as they passed. If the guard had remained outside their door, he was long gone by now. Even as a beta, the smell was strong and would have choked him. Both of them admired the smell before the blonde leaned back, only to slam right back into his mate.

"Ah, alpha!" At this position, the alpha's cock was reaching places and hitting harder than it had before. Right away Izuku came from the file sensation he was getting. It was one climax of many more to come. This position and his mate being this aggressive was a whole new experience for the greenette who was completely taken over by his heat. Instead of stopping it, or telling him to take it easy, Izuku only pressed his hips higher and further into his alpha, motioning him to carry on.

Without needing permission, Katsuki relentlessly started to pound into his clouded-minded omega. His large hands had a bruising hold on the smaller's hip and shoulder below him as he guided the greenette where he wanted him. The way he thrusted into the omega was hard enough that their thighs kept slapping together, launching the omega forward so he could push his hips back in time to get pounded again. It was all a perfect rhythm, perfect timing as they were so well intertwined. "Fuck - my little bunny, so fucking good. You feel so fucking good. Do - ha - Don't stop, don't you dare fucking stop being my sexy mate."

The prince bent down, biting and nipping at several places on the back of the omega's neck, leaving more marks for him, minus the venom. Izuku's moans and purrs were all he was able to compose at this time. He was holding onto the sheets like his life depended on it. He was feeling so overwhelmed by the pleasure he was getting at all angles. The rabbit had tears running down his face, his mouth open from making lewd noises while a line of drool fell from his lips. He was fucked out of his mind, even during his heat. Every single time the two of them had a chance to mate, it had been amazing, and yet, never anything like this.

"Is this what you wanted omega? Is this what my sweet little fucking omega wanted from his alpha?" Izuku could only nod but he soon yelped as the alpha hooked both arms under the rabbit's own, pulling the smaller to his chest while never slowing down or stopping. Smirking at his lustful omega, the alpha put a hand at the lower part of his stomach where it was bulging every time he entered the greenette. The added pressure makes them purr and croon at the feeling. "You feel that? That's me, that's all me bunny. That's me, stretching you out, molding your hole for my cock only. Remember that, never forget how good it feels when your only alpha is fucking you this good."

"N-Never. N-No one else!" For the second time, Izuku came onto the bed under them. The alpha crooned, loving to know he was doing all the right things.

"Good boy. That's my good fucking boy." Katsuki spoke through clenched teeth as his knot began to swell. Feeling it, the omega bent forward, presenting more to the alpha who was still thrusting into him relentlessly.

"Fill me, Alpha. Come in me!" The greenette let out, pushing into the sheets to keep himself propped for his mate. "Please, come in me, I want it."

Watery emerald eyes looked back at his alpha, begging him and smiling. This set something off in the blonde as he leaned forward, bending over the omega, covering the two of them with his wings as he thrusted a few more times, pausing only when he felt his climax approaching. He let out a lingering croon as he carefully pressed further into his omega, pushing his knot in, and connecting them for the next few minutes. As he did, the omega under him came again from the feeling of being so full. Green curls fall forward from exhaustion, almost falling onto his face if not for the alpha who caught him. The prince's knotting sessions usually lasted fifteen minutes so, Katsuki slowly set them on their side, allowing the smaller one to rest before his heat would wake him up again.

Izuku had just enough energy to force his head up, reaching up to hold his alpha's cheek, and pulling it down to kiss it. "Thank you, alpha."

"Anything for omega."

Chapter Text

The past three days passed by blissfully. The prince didn't remember much from his rut other than his omega saying he'd be there which, now that he had a clear conscience, had him a little worried. Not only did he think he might have impregnated the omega, but there was a chance he was rough with him too, and that was the most concerning part. If Izuku was pregnant, they'd get shit for a child out of wedlock before his mother would start bringing up baby names, otherwise, nothing would change. If Izuku was hurt because of what happened when his inner alpha took over, that would be unforgivable.

Shockingly, the rabbit was not in bed next to him when crimson eyes opened. Long legs moved off the bed, standing as he looked down at himself. As usual, he had a few love bites and new scratches from his feisty little mate. Pulling on some makeshift pants, he checked the balcony and just outside the door, asking a guard if his mate had left which was replied with a head shake no. Getting worried, Katsuki glanced around for a sign of his missing greenette. The smells of lavender and honey tore his attention to the bathroom where the door was cracked. The blonde rolled his eyes, mad at himself for about to send out a search party before he even checked the bathroom.

As he approached and the door was slightly opened, green curls revealed themselves as the omega held onto the side of the large tub and leaned his back against the porcelain. He was humming something to himself until the scent of his alpha took his attention. "Morning, Kacchan. Sorry I didn't wake you, you looked too peaceful to disturb."

While he spoke, Izuku smiled at the dragon, turning his body and putting his arms along the tub to rest his chin on. His emerald eyes shined brighter as the window had been opened for a slight breeze and sunshine. Likely the heat recovering omega was still a little warm as he used the window to cool off. The scene in front of the alpha was all too much. Not only did he find him before his panic set in but, the damn little rabbit looked way too adorable to even scold. Instead of getting onto him for sneaking off, the prince gave in to his sweet mate. He dropped the pants he had just put on. Emerald eyes watched with joy, moving out of the way for the blonde to join him in the tub.

"I was looking for you." He admitted, pulling the omega's back into his chest as they enjoyed the heavenly-scented, lukewarm bath.

"Sorry, like I said, you looked too good to disturb."

"And you looked too good to be in here alone."

Katsuki kissed his mate's cheek, pulling him in closer as he did so. The rabbit under him only smirked, closing his eyes as he leaned into the perfect body behind him. "Good thing I had you to join me then."

******

"I look stupid."

"You look great." Kirishima corrected the prince.

"I feel stupid."

"You aren't stupid."

"This is a stupid idea."

"It's a great idea and we've been going over this for a couple of weeks now."

"What if he doesn't like it?"

"Lucky for you, your mate is happy when you bring him a flower you just picked from outside. Something tells me he'll love the surprise you have for him."

"Okay. Fine." The blonde took a deep breath. "Whatever."

Rose-colored eyes leaned forward as they walked to the lounge room. The alpha was smirking at his friend, never seeing him like this before. "Nervous?"

The prince only scuffed, looking at his friend like he had just suggested the most outrageous idea ever. Unfortunately, the friendly smile he was receiving and the fact they were alone in the hall were enough to make him let his guard down for just a minute or two. Crimson eyes poured into the floor in front of him as he stopped walking and his shoulders slumped. "Yes."

Sure Kirishima had just asked him that, but to hear the prince admit he was indeed nervous was even a shock to him. It only made him smile as he was witness to the brave and normally so brass alpha was in fact like the rest of us. He could only pat his back reassuringly.

"Midoriya is the perfect fit for you. I promise you're nervous for nothing." He stated, waiting for his oldest friend to look back up and nod at him. The blonde took a deep breath again before walking ahead and opening the door.

In his lounge room were the other two nobles he surrounded himself with, playing a card game. In the fur-lined chair was his mate, reading a book with his legs tugged into his knees as the large seat swallowed him. He and Kirishima had excused themselves a little over an hour ago to check on something as the greenette was previously reading in his mate's lap. Once emerald eyes noticed they were back, the rabbit's entire face lit up.

"There you guys are. I was getting worried I'd have to hunt you two down." He teased, closing his eyes as the blonde kissed his forehead lovingly.

"Sorry, we had to be thorough." The redhead shrugged as he sat at the table. He nonchalantly went to reading and going back to his usual work as an advisor.

Izuku didn't press, he knew the prince had duties that needed to be resolved as soon as they happened. So, instead of snooping, he went back to reading as the prince picked the rabbit up to be seated in his chair.

As they had been before, the blonde worked as his mate was curled into his lap reading away. It was odd as the omega had his own chair right next to the prince, but they needed to be touching, to be impossibly close to one another at all times. It was a routine of theirs now. If they had to do something on their own and it was manageable to do so while still touching somehow like hand holding, that's how it was done. They blamed it on the fact the rabbit had been kidnapped and saved by his mate before and that's why they were so clingy with each other, but truthfully they were just like that towards the other. They could deny it and come up with reason after reason on why they were so dependent on the other, but none of it would be true unless they admitted to just being that in love with the other.

They had not only grown up with the other, been there in their youth, and now reconnected right when they needed each other most, but there had always been a pull between the two. Sure their mothers were friends and that was the cause for their meeting, but there was no doubt in either of their minds that even if that had not been the case, they would have found the other one way or another. They were fated for the other.

"It's getting late. Are you getting hungry?" Katsuki randomly stretched in his chair before hugging his mate's waist.

"Yeah, I guess so. Wow, I didn't even notice the time." Izuku smiled sweetly to his mate before getting up, stretching his torso now.

Crimson eyes glanced over to the redhead in the room who gave a comforting thumbs up to him. The prince only nodded, acknowledging the support before turning to the adorable freckled face next to him. "Come on, I know just the thing for us."

Katsuki took the greenette's hand, leading him down the hall and outside. Izuku was confused, wondering why they weren't heading to the dining room if they were getting hungry. He was about to ask when the dragon sprouted his wings and tail, his horns already out per his normal look. Quickly, the prince scooped his mate into his arms in a bridal hold and took off into the sky.

"Kacchan!" Izuku yelped, holding impossibly tight to his mate's neck. This only made the blonde smirk more. As this wasn't the first time and certainly not the last to be swept up like this, the rabbit was getting used to flying with his dragon.

They flew over the kingdom, heading south to a familiar spot from a few months ago. They arrived at the same opening on a beach where no one else was. The only difference now was instead of coming here to comfort and make his rabbit feel better, they were here to have a very overdue conversation.

"Okay, we're on the ground."

As soon as his feet touched the ground, Izuku went into a frenzy to throw a small fist at the wide chest above him. "That was not cool! You could have given me a heads up, some type of warning, anything!"

Katsuki could only chuckle, the small assault he was getting was doing nothing to him other than making his pouting rabbit look that but MORE adorable. "You're right, I'm sorry. I just wanted to surprise you."

"Well, I was certainly surprised my mate tried to give me a heart attack!" One more playful punch before the greenette smirked.

"That wasn't the surprise I was talking about."

Smiling, the prince held onto his mate's shoulder, slowly turning him around at the scene on the beach. Instead of checking on something earlier today, he and Kirishima had set up a perfect picnic on the beach. Staff had flown over and set up a dinner for them to be ready at a certain time as well. The secrecy was worth it as his omega gasped and looked up at his alpha.

"Kacchan, you did all this?"

"I had help putting it all together, but it was my idea." A large hand nervously scratched at the back of his neck. "Do you like it?"

Izuku quickly spun on his heels, leaping at the taller blonde who luckily caught him in time. The smaller one wrapped his legs around the strong waist, arms circling his shoulders as he hugged him. A freckled nose nuzzled into the neck of his mate, scenting him as he purred.

"Kacchan, it's so sweet. No one has ever done anything like this for me." Izuku pulled back, looking into the imitating eyes that he had fallen so hard for. "I am so lucky to have you as my mate when you give me another reason to love you more every day. You're perfect in every way, my sweet alpha."

The omega leaned down, planting a lingering kiss on his prince's lips. They both smiled into the kiss before the blonde chuckled, ending it. "You're sort of stealing my thunder here, little bunny."

"S-sorry, Kacchan. I really appreciate what you did for me." He admitted as his feet were in the sand once more, walking over to the blanket now as the dragon next to him intertwined their fingers, lifting the scared hand to kiss the smaller knuckles.

"I'm glad you like it," Kacchan stated.

For their picnic was an assortment of lilies, baby's breath, and random flowers all green in color. The plates were covered in silver tops to keep them protected from the outdoors. When the blonde lifted it, on the plates sat large, fluffy, and somehow still steaming cinnamon rolls. Izuku gasped, sitting down right away to dig in, making his mate chuckle as he sat down as well.

They enjoyed their 'meal' as they talked about this and that, the conversation carrying on all on its own. As the night progressed and the sun was nearly set, the prince was losing his normally calm composure. He was sweating, avoiding eye contact, clearing his throat more often, and overall becoming more disheveled by the minute.

"Kacchan, are you okay?" Crimson eyes shot up from the drink that he had been staring at. The prince sat up, rubbing his hands along his pants to wipe off the sweat. Again the blonde cleared his throat for the hundredth time it seemed as he looked at the spread in front of him, then at his mate, then at the sand. He was struggling to say something and it was making the greenette incredibly nervous as he put his small hand over the large one in front of him. "Hey, what's wrong?"

Finally, the dragon seemed to pull himself together, even though he was still a wreck on the inside. "Uh, there's a reason I brought you out here tonight. There's something pretty serious I need to discuss with you."

"O-okay." It came out more like a question as the rabbit tried to swallow the lump in his throat as he put his drink down. Once more, the prince paused, making the omega believe it was something bad. It made sense. Put the greenette in a good mood to tell him something bad.

Katsuki grunted, telling himself to get over his nerves as he stood up. He took his mate's hand, pulling him to his feet as well. Emerald eyes got wider, not knowing where this was going or what was happening. Deep down, Izuku thought the prince might be mad at him. He had allowed him to knot him while he wasn't conscience enough to decide for himself. Izuku had been cognitive enough to know he should ask if that's what he wanted or wait, but at the moment, it was all he wanted. His omega wanted it too and now it seemed like maybe the omega was trying to baby-trap him. They might've already been mated and planning on having pups in the future together, but this didn't mean the blonde was ready. Now, the rabbit was more so convinced this was a breakup. He had gone too far, done too much, done something wrong.

"I believed for a long time that I wasn't fit or lucky enough to find my mate. There were plenty of nights that the overwhelming feeling of being alone for the rest of my life was something I was beginning to convince myself I deserved. I know I can be harsh, I can be mean, and I can be a dick without trying too hard, and I knew that was likely going to be my downfall one day. I thought the universe was toying with me, dangling the idea of finding someone in front of my face, just out of reach. By some dumb luck of fate, you walked right back into my life, bringing a whole new light into my life again." The prince faced his mate, taking both hands in his. "Izuku, you are everything I could ever ask for or want. You are my fated mate, my sweet little bunny, and the most loving person I have ever met. You are everything to me."

Izuku had heavy tears in his eyes ready to fall. He was confused about what was happening as he was so convinced a few seconds earlier that this was the end, but all this was too sweet for him to end things.

Katsuki took a deep breath, shutting his eyes as he did so before falling to one knee. Seeing what might've been happening, the omega's jaw dropped and his heart right rose.

"All that being said, I'd be a fool if I didn't secure my future with you. I don't want you leaving my side, I don't want you to ever doubt my devotion to you." The prince reached into his pocket, revealing a ring with a bright ruby in the center and a diamond on each side. Silver vines surround the stones to play into the illusion the leaves are what held them together. It was beautiful and one of a kind. "Izuku Midoriya, will you be mine, forever?"

Taking a deep breath himself as he smiled even wider, Izuku nodded. He nervously laughed as he fell to his knees in front of the alpha who had some happy tears in his eyes now as well. "Yes, of course. I love you so much Kacchan."

"I love you too, Izuku." The prince cupped freckled cheeks in front of him, bringing him in for a quick kiss.

A small hand was held out to the alpha, allowing him to place the ring on the slim finger. As if this was set in the stars themselves, the ring fit perfectly. Both were a mess now as they leaned into the other, hugging and holding onto the other. Soon, emerald eyes looked up, needing to see his mate's face before kissing him deeply. Their kiss seemed to go on for hours. Eventually, the blonde pulled the greenette to him as he fell to his back. He allowed himself to be covered in sand as the small omega on top of him took his chance to show his alpha just how much he loved the ring.

When they pulled back for air, Izuku held up his hand, loving how it looked with the ring now. His smile never left his face as he admired it. "Do you like it?"

"Kacchan, I love it. It is exactly what I imagined having one day." The rabbit admitted, leaning down to place a small and sweet kiss on the prince's lips.

They stayed there a while, soaking in the time they had to enjoy this, to bask in it before they returned to the castle where the news would spread like wildfire that they were engaged. The blonde's thoughts of everyone rushing to them were interrupted as the greenette began to giggle to himself. He kissed a freckled temple.

"What's so funny, little bunny?"

Izuku placed his chin on the sternum below him, letting out one more giggle. "You were nervous."

"Shut up, I was not." The blonde rolled his eyes.

"You most definitely were." The rabbit teased.

"You're ruining the wonderful moment we're in the middle of." Katsuki groaned, hoping Kirishima wouldn't tease him about this too but, he knew that was wishful thinking.

"It's okay, Kacchan. I found it cute."

The prince only clicked his tongue and sighed. "Whatever, Deku."

Izuku smirked, letting out another giggle as he hugged his alpha, his mate, his now fiance.

Chapter Text

The day after their engagement, Mitsuki got right to work on wedding preparations. Lucky for her, neither the rabbit nor dragon prince cared even a little about how it all looked or came together. As long as by the end of the day they were married, nothing else mattered. This allowed the blonde queen, who loved party planning and always thought about what her son's wedding would look like, to have total control over it all. Izuku of course was added to final decision-making, getting a small amount of say in things but really, he could tell the dam was already putting together a beautiful ceremony.

Invitations were quickly sent out as well, getting a couple of responses as well. The wedding would be held at the end of the month and that was because the flowers they wanted would be in perfect bloom in three weeks. There were rumors and speculations about the reason for a quick wedding, but none of it bothered the two in question. No, they were enjoying their time together as a newly engaged couple as they spent most mornings tangled up in the other, taking their sweet time to get up in the mornings. Of course, it caused them issues during the day because they kept getting a late start on daily tasks, but it was worth it. Those extra few minutes in bed each day were the highlight of both their days as they kept coming to bed at different times, missing each other much too often.

Katsuki kept staying in his office late enough that when he walked into their shared room, the omega would be too worn out to have stayed up any longer. A few times the prince had growled as he caught his omega had baked or made something for him and he had stayed away too long to enjoy it. Other times the prince would manage to get done early and head to their room first, only to fall asleep from exhaustion as soon as he got there, again missing his omega. It was getting incredibly annoying.

Tonight, the omega had determination, a plan, and a way to get time with his alpha. When the sunset was over, he asked a guard to come to tell him when the nobles left so he knew when his alpha would be alone. The greenette was reading in his room when there was a small knock. The guard let him know the blonde was alone now, winking at him. It made the rabbit blush but he thanked him all the same.

It was known throughout the entire staff now how obsessed with each other they were, and to their lack of surprise, the staff was more than willing to help them. A few of the seamstresses today who measured him for a wedding outfit made not-so-subtle jokes about doing this for the prince when he was a pup. Emerald eyes kept looking forward, choosing to ignore it. Another time, the same guard who had helped him to his room during his heat, slid a note to him as he entered the library that was a bunch of erotic ways the prince was going to make their wedding night memorable. There was no seal or envelope with it, and the guard's face was a bright red as he avoided eye contact. Evidently, he had read it. What made it worse was the guard asking the omega if he wanted time alone to write a reply.

Knowing his alpha was alone now, he got to work on his plan, putting it into motion. He had been collecting certain outfits for quite some time now, since starting to court the alpha. He had kept these specific types of nightwear tucked away and out of sight from the prince. Of course, there were a couple of times he tried to surprise him, waiting for him, but he'd tired of waiting and changed back before the alpha could see him. Now, there was no excuse.

The rabbit quickly changed, grabbing a cape as well to wrap around himself to keep his outfit concealed. There was a guard outside his door as there usually was when he was alone. The guard would always leave when the prince arrived, letting them be alone. He stood there now as the the greenette peaked his head out. Slowly, trying to act natural, Izuku slipped into the hall. He nodded a hello to the guard who nodded back. The guard glanced down at something that caught his eye, only to snap his head back up, holding his hand flat against his temple to make a blocker from the omega.

"Y-Your Highness, uh, your cape isn't, um, it isn't closed all the way." The guard stuttered out.

Looking down at himself, the omega had nearly his entire leg shown. He covered himself quickly, making the guard and himself more comfortable even though they were both a blushing mess.

"Thank you." He mumbled, moving down the hall to the lounge room as quickly as he could to reach his alpha before another embarrassing event happened that he couldn't recover from.

Once he reached the doors, he checked himself again, readjusted what he felt he needed to, and took a deep breath. A scarred hand pushed open the door to find his blonde, head down and writing something down profusely. "I am not in the fucking mood. I am trying to get this shit done in a reasonable amount of time."

Izuku smiled. "I see why people are avoiding this hallway."

Hearing his voice, crimson eyes shot up in shock to see his mate. "Izuku! I - what are you doing here?"

The omega watched as his mate scanned down his body suspiciously. The oversized cape covered him completely and it wasn't something he wore often. The red fabric was long enough to drag on the floor, crossed in front of him securely, and his red face was not helping him look normal. The omega was incredibly anxious about how this was going to go when he removed the cape. Of course, he was hoping for something a little dramatic and fun, but there was a part of him that thought the alpha might also get mad at him for this. 'How dare you wear something like that.' 'How could you possibly think I would enjoy that?' 'Are you crazy, what if someone had seen you?' Unfortunately, it was too late to back out now.

As his alpha had been a few days before, now it was the omega's turn to be a nervous mess. "I wanted to come check on you before going to bed."

"Okay." The prince sounded like he was asking a question as he put his things down on his desk. Wondering why his mate looked so out of place, he became worried. "Izuku, is everything okay?"

"Y-yes. I just wanted to come see you, like I said." He forced a smile to seem more confident. "I also had a secret I wanted to share with you."

Katsuki was more than worried now. The rabbit was sweating, and fidgeting, and his grip on the cape was only getting tighter by the second. It seemed like there was indeed something wrong and the fact the omega wasn't flat-out telling him was making his stomach turn. The prince raised a brow. "Sure, you can tell me anything Izuku. You know that, I at least hope you do."

"I do, and it isn't anything bad. I just, well I've been keeping secrets, several of them. I wanted to wait for a good reason to share them with you and, well I hope you don't get mad." Emerald eyes wouldn't look up, in fear of this going the wrong way.

"Alright, I'm listening."

"Well, it's more like showing you what my secrets are. This is only one of a few I have. I'm sorry I kept these from you for so long." Izuku stated, making the alpha prepare himself for the worst.

Pressing his lips together, the rabbit pushed the cape off his shoulders, letting it fall around his feet. He wore a black lingerie set that stole all the air out of his mate's lungs. The top had thin straps to it, barely holding it to his shoulders. The lace and somewhat see-through material dropped low on his chest and stopped short to keep his midsection exposed. He wore matching panties which were also somewhat see-through so his half-hard cock was very visible to his mate. The set was complete with a pair of thigh-high stockings with white lace squeezing his thighs, making them seem thicker to the alpha before him.

Izuku nervously held his hands behind his back, allowing the blonde to look him over fully. "Hopefully, you can enjoy this secret with me now."

Finally, emerald eyes managed to look up, seeing his mate practically drooling as he slowly stood from his desk. Crimson eyes raked over his entire body, making the omega feel somehow worse about this all even though this reaction was expected.

Right when he was getting nervous about how the alpha was feeling about this, ready to be yelled at, strong arms picked him up by his slim hips and brought him to the desk.

"I am the luckiest alpha alive." The blonde still held his hips as he sat the omega on his desk. The prince kissed and nipped at the mark on his nape, getting a purr out of his omega as he scented him from his neck glands, covering him in the campfire smell. "You are the most gorgeous thing in the entire world, and you're all for me."

"Y-yes, I am," Izuku confirmed, smiling now that he knew his plan was working. The alpha let out a deep croon as he took in his omega once more.

Their mouths found each other now, moving hungrily around the other, missing their intimate moments for the last couple of weeks because of their busy schedules. It didn't take long for the rabbit to feel a tongue licking at his lips, not having to wait long as he right away opened his mouth for them to roam over the other. Large arms engulfed the smaller omega, claws kept getting caught on the material as he pulled him to his chest. Scarred hands tugged at and pulled on blonde spikes, bringing him in closer. As their mouths went to work, the alpha kept pressing and grinding into his omega who let out small moans each time he did.

Feeling overwhelmed to finally have his alpha, long ears and a bushy little tail appeared from the omega. He gasped, pulling his ears in front of his face in shame. Katsuki only smiled, pulling hands away from the freckled face. He made sure those emerald eyes were watching him as he released his wings and tails to match his horns, showing he was just as caught up in the feeling of the other.

"I don't think I can hold back anymore but I also really don't want you to take this off yet. Can I - Can I just tear them?" The prince pressed his thumb to the slicked entrance through the panties. He was asking to make himself a whole so Izuku kept wearing the lingerie. For some reason, that only turned the omega on more.

"Only if you buy me a new pair." The rabbit spoke through a purr and slanted eyes.

"Deal."

Wasting no time now that he had permission, Katsuki tore the panties nearly in half. This allowed the omega's fully hardened cock to spring out now and his entrance be exposed to his alpha who pressed a finger into him. Soon two fingers were playing with the greenette who's head fell back, being more sensitive than usual. Two became three, the alpha working him, seeing his mate cling to him as the sense of spilling over came closer.

"My naughty little bunny, wearing something so provocative. I love you so much, my sweet little mate." Katsuki smirked, removing his fingers and sucking on them to taste the slick as he turned the rabbit over. Because of their height difference and the furniture they leaned on, Izuku had to raise one knee on the desk for his alpha's cock to aline with his hole. "So fucking naughty, and all for me?"

Before the rabbit could respond, the alpha was pressed into him until it was fully inserted into this prepped hole. Instead of saying 'I love you' back, the omega's jaw dropped into a room-filling moan and his grip tightened on the shoulders he was holding onto. After being played with and now feeling so full, Izuku came onto the floor and edge of the desk right away. That was a good enough response for the alpha who smiled at the teary eyes mess under him. Strong hips found a fierce speed, barely giving any time for the rabbit to come down from his high. Instead, he kept going, making him feel only so much better.

"My little bunny, keeping secrets from me? What should I do with you?" Katsuki growled out a dominant growl. Seeing the omega like this was doing something to the prince, making him borderline feral to have him. A large held gripped a handful of green curls, lifting his head with a yelp to see his fucked out face. "How should I punish you for hiding this from me?"

Izuku, not able to form words, only smirked as his eyes stayed on the man above him. Seeing the smaller one was enjoying this type of treatment, the prince raised a hand, letting it come down on the perfectly plumped ass he admired so much. The rabbit's ears rose straight up and his tail wagged slightly from the sensation. This was working to the dragon's advantage. Getting this reaction had his hands heating up without knowing it. The blonde kept his rhythm and speed the same relentless pounding as he gripped the smaller's upper arms, bringing him into him so he could reach deeper and hit harder.

Izuku pulled himself fully onto the desk. His legs were spread to lower his ass to the right height as his mate was now able to hit his spot perfectly. The omega's back arched, his head rising to scream out a moan. Heated hands kept holding him, giving an occasional slap to the reddened ass below that resembles a hand print. Katsuki pushed the omega's shoulders down, leaning him over the desk as he now held Izuku's hands behind his back in one hand and a slim waist in the other. Getting closer to his edge, the rabbit's hole was squeezing harder around his alpha's cock.

"Oh fuck, Izuku. I'm coming, my slutty little bunny." The prince slammed once more into the omega, his cock twitching as it came.

Only seconds apart, Izuku let out a final cry of pleasure as he painted the top of the desk and purred all at once. Katsuki hooked his arms under the greenette's arms, bringing him into his chest so he could continue to come while looking at the bulge formed in the omega's lower abdomen from the alpha's cock.

They panted, separating long enough for the prince to bring a blanket from his chair to lay out in front of his fireplace. They sat there, catching their breath for now as the blonde played with the material his mate wore. "So, you have more of these?"

Izuky only giggled, leaning into the wide chest next to him. "Yes, and something tells me I'll be getting more in the future as well."

"Oh, you can bet on that happening." The dragon let out a seductive growl to his mate, slightly snarling although it looked like more of a smile. It made them both smile as they took the time to enjoy the other. Soon they'd be married and have more nights similar to this one. Knowing they were spending the rest of their lives together only ensured more happy moments, just like this one.

Practical to have on this type of lingerie in medieval times or not, we are getting some dick tonight, one way or another!!

Chapter Text

The alpha's mother truly didn't hold anything back from this wedding. Everything was beautiful in a mix of reds and gold. It had all been picked out perfectly to be the event of the year. He was all for the prince and his beautiful mate.

Anxiously, the prince took a deep breath and walked to where he needed to be as the ceremony was about to begin. His mother met him at the door, smiling as he approached. She looked him once over to make sure he was wearing the typical marriage attire for a dragon. Yes, they were royals and lived in a perfectly created castle, but for things like this, they retort back to the way things had been done long before hybrids co-lived. His pants were red for his clan, barefoot, a gold vest with red ends, and a long red cape with fur lining his shoulders. The blonde wore multiple necklaces on for good luck, thick cuffs on each wrist with his crest engraved into it, as well as his entire body and cheeks painted in red powder to show his hybrid, his position, and his secondary gender.

Katsuki had been to several dragon weddings before, the traditions and accommodation always taking his breath away. The paint had a meaning, a story behind it. The jewels and charms he wore all had their own purpose. All this combined was enough for him to feel like today was more than just marrying Izuku, it was a full commitment to the rest of their lives, making him both more nervous and yet so excited for the rest of their lives.

His mother greeted him and adjusted his vest slightly. "You look as handsome as your father did on our wedding day. Maybe more so since you are still standing and have yet to faint."

"I ain't gonna faint." The alpha clicked his tongue while looking down at his dam. She had tears in her eyes from the emotions of the day catching up to her. As queen, she reached back to grab a headpiece for him with more charms, ribbons, and jewelry to be slid over his horns carefully. "Didn't think I'd ever have to wear this ugly thing."

Mitsuki snickered now, nodding in agreement. Her son, the cold and typically rude prince was getting married today. Not only that but the bride of the day was the wonderful little boy she admired as her best friend's son. All of it was coming together.

"You definitely made your father and I think this day may not come a few times. Although," Once the headpiece was secured to his head, she put a gentle hand to her son's face, looking into the eyes he inherited from herself. "As soon as I saw how you looked at Izuku, I had hope all over again."

"You trying to tell me you knew I'd fall for him?" Katsuki raised a brow.

"Oh honey, you two fell for each other a long time ago, you just didn't know it." Mitsuki patted the same cheek a little too harshly a couple of times before adjusting his attire once more. "I think you two were always fated for one another. It was clear even when you two were brats running between everyone's legs."

They shared a small chuckle at the memory of knocking over a few people as they chased each other around. The two of them would run into each other, other people, tables to knock over several expensive pieces, and much more. All of which was highly encouraged by the blonde of course. The sweet little rabbit's ears would appear each time as he held them in front of his face from feeling so bad about breaking an item. The dragon next to him, however, well he would usually end up laughing.

"You know your cue so I'll be going." She took only a couple of steps forward. "Oh and, as someone who helped him get ready, you're very welcome."

She smirked at the alpha before turning to walk away. It wasn't clear what the hell that meant until a few minutes had passed. Katsuki stood at the end of the aisle as the drums and several instruments played next to him. Painfully slow, the doors at the other side of the room opened and revealed his mate.

Izuku was also dressed in traditional wedding attire. His headpiece contained flowers over his head but not enough to make it look heavy, a few ribbons, a green transparent veil behind him, and rubies across his forehead. The thick golden necklace he wore held his white dress to his neck and fell to cover his chest and abdomen. His back was fully exposed as it had several drawings in green paint to show off his position, his hybrid, and his secondary gender, the paint being down the center of his nose and a rabbit symbol on his chin. His white skirt left the sides of his thighs exposed to show off the new tattoo on his right upper leg. It was the same one Katsuki wore as well. Since he wasn't royal blood, the tattoo wasn't allowed to be on his arm but, the prince had to admit it made the rabbit that much more attractive.

The greenette wore several bracelets and anklets near his bare feet with their own charms and meanings like his own. Izuku also wore shimmering gold over his eyelids, illuminating the shine in his gorgeous eyes. As the rabbit approached his mate, there were only growing smiles between the two.

Katsuki held out a hand to his mate, who moved the flower bouquet from both hands to just one as his scarred hand took the much larger one. "You have never looked so beautiful, my incredible omega."

Izuku could only blush as his smile had reached its limit, hurting his cheeks almost. He held in tears, not wanting to seem sad but, they were all for feeling overjoyed. "My handsome Alpha."

The blonde kissed his knuckles before their hands were covered in a thick and heavy golden ribbon and ropes in true wedding binding tradition. The ceremony carried on in a blur as crimson eyes could only watch how sweet and beautiful his mate was. Emerald eyes looked up at him, occasionally glancing at the man who was in charge of marrying them.

"Matrimonium!" The man shouted, a way of saying they were officially married in dragon fashion.

Right away, the prince grabbed his now wonderful bride's waist, pulling him closer as they shared a meaningful kiss in front of all their guest who had been completely forgotten about up until they all cheered for the couple. Well, almost all. Some cried some previous suitors of the prince sobbed, and one guest in particular watched in rage. As the newly wedded couple rushed down the aisle, she followed them with spiteful eyes. Their smiles, their laughing, their tears of joy. Soon it would all come crashing down for them and she was proud to be the one to do it.

*******

"Are you okay? Your scent is a bit off." Katsuki asked Izuku as they held hands in the hall. They had run off to the prince's lounge room to remove their headpieces and store them securely. Now, they were standing near the door to join their continued wedding celebration in the gardens. As they were about to open the doors, the prince stopped to face his mate. "You can tell me."

"N-nothing, really." Izuku was struggling to think about something, trying to smile through his hurt.

"Wow, my bride's first lie to me." Katsuki teased, getting a small eye roll from the rabbit.

"It's just, well, we got married today." The prince paused, wondering if he was having second thoughts or maybe he didn't want this anymore. It hurt his chest to think that was the issue. "We got married and, my mother isn't here to see it. She always joked we'd get married to one another and I know she'd be really happy to know it finally happened."

Now it all made sense. Katsuki's mother had been filling a hole in his heart, trying to make up for the loss of someone who meant so much to the both of them all day. While the rabbit loved and very much appreciated how much Mitsuki loved and cared for him as if he were her own pup, it wasn't enough to make him realize there was a missing face in the crowd. Knowing the wonderful woman as well, Katsuki's heart went out to the small omega as his arms wrapped instinctively around his hurting mate, pushing out calming and loving pheromones to him.

"I know, I miss her sometimes too. She was a caring and loving soul. I'm sorry she wasn't able to help you get ready or plan for this but Izuku, what makes you think she isn't here?"

Emerald eyes moved up as he rested his small chin on the wide chest of his husband. "What?"

"She may not be able to be here physically, but I feel her, I know she's here." Katsuki took a deep breath, getting emotional himself for the loss of his mate's dam who he saw as another mother to himself. "I smell her scent of lavender in the breeze even though we didn't use those flowers today. I feel her warm hand on my cheek as she always liked to do, and I can hear her uplifting voice in my head teasing us along with my mother. 'I knew this would happen one day Katsuki, your mother and I both did.' I hear it so crystal clear in my head I have to turn to see she isn't right next to me."

Izuku laughed slightly as he also sobbed and let the tears finally fall. It was true their mothers had teased him, and it was true he felt a strong presence with him all day but, to know his mate was feeling it too, it meant the world to him. "I love you."

"I love you too, Izuku. I promise you, she may be gone but she for sure as hell isn't forgotten, by either of us, my mother, even my father suggested you wore green today instead of red as a memory to her." He said so normally, although each word was getting to his little mate, making him even happier.

Soon, floppy ears and a bushy tail sprouted from the extremely happy rabbit, making him blush and look at the door even more worrisome. He pulled on his ears as if he could pull them off. "Oh, no."

"Hmm, good idea."

Katsuki smirked, stretching out his wings and slim tail as well with his already outgrown horns. He rolled his shoulders, his wings adjusting to the vest he wore.

"Kacchan, what are you doing?"

The prince was going to say something snarky but, only smiled instead. He took the smaller's hand, placing it over his chest and letting fingers outline the mark drawn on him. "This mark means dragon in a very old language we no longer speak, only read."

"Oh." Izuku's eyes looked at it, blushing slightly as he pressed his hand to the wide chest he adored so much. A large hand now moved to carefully hold his chin, a warm thumb pressing under his chin.

"This one is rabbit."

"Really?"

"Yes. In dragon tradition, it's common to proudly show off one's hybrid, to be proud of it."

"I am not a dragon."

"No, you are a rabbit. A very beautiful, strong, very caring, and more than amazing rabbit. Be proud of that because it makes you who you are. You should never feel ashamed or anything less than proud of yourself. I sure as hell am, and I love everything about you." Pulling the chin to him, Katsuki kissed his omega, careful not to smear the mark on his chin he just complimented. "Now, shall we attend our party?"

Crimson eyes looked down at his rabbit, enjoying the view now that his mate was back to his usual bubbly and grinning self. The doors opened, casting a beam of sunshine on the freckled face, only making him that much more attractive.

"Now presenting for the first time, Prince Katsuki Bakugo, and his mate, Izuku Bakugo!"

"Has a nice ring to it, don't you think?" The blonde winked, making his omega giggle.

"It sounds perfect."

A/N:
Okay, I am done mentioning the mothers teasing them, blah blah blah.
I know it got repetitive but when someone passes, a certain memory holds on tighter than others.
Moving on, got it, no more

Chapter Text

Bracelets clunk together as they're held against one another as the mates are shoulder to the opposite shoulder. Their hands rose and fell as their heels touched the ground, then only their toes. The crowd was cheering and clapping as several couples were dancing around the fire. It was a usual dragon tradition dance among couples that everyone does when they are married or mated and only then. It was something Izuku had to learn in the past week but, doing it now was so much fun. Even Katsuki smiled and laughed along with him before holding him close and letting him twirl.

They danced awhile before agreeing to take a break finally. They reached their table, sitting side by side as they raised their glasses. The prince paused his sip, holding the glass out to his bride instead. "Here is to our latest chapter. May this one end with this happy moment so this next one can be even better."

"Very well said Kacchan," Izuku smirked. He would never admit it to the sober prince or anyone else, but when the blonde drank he got very sentimental for some reason.

They clinked their drinks and took a sip before turning to the other and sharing a lingering kiss. The two of them were going to keep kissing for much longer but were interrupted by two fists banging on the table, making them jump. The three nobles laughed, clearly drunk as they stumbled and held each other up. The prince only growled in frustration. He rolled his crimson eyes, kissing his mate's lips once more before smirking. "I'll be right back."

"Remember their drunk, Kacchan. Don't be too mean to them!" Izuku laughed, seeing a bad idea forming in the prince's mind as he was about to get very even. The three of them were still laughing until they saw the determined stride the prince had. They all shared a shriek before sprinting away, being chased off.

The blonde walked away, leaving the giggling rabbit alone, but he was soon joined by the queen. Mitsuki had been his rock all day to help with mother's absence. If there was ever someone he wouldn't be able to have done this without, it was her. Once her face showed off the very affectionate gaze she usually showed the rabbit, Izuku's smile widened.

"Hello my little one, how is your celebration going?"

"Perfectly thanks to you and all your planning for this. I know I wasn't much help in preparations or decision-making, but I wouldn't have been able to pull any of this together myself. You truly are amazing." Izuku stated, holding Mitsuki's hand.

"Oh, this? It's nothing." She joked with a hand wave before moving closer to the rabbit. "I have something for you that I planned on giving you before you walked down the aisle but, I got called away before I had the chance."

"You don't have to give me anything. You have already done and given me so much." It was true. The prince, how he treated the rabbit, the omega owed it all to her. That and the treatment she had shown him, and so much more. There was a lot he was grateful for that was Mitsuki's doing. "Please, know I can never repay you for what you've done so far."

The queen's eyes darted to the omega next to her. Her hand reached up, fingers swiping through green curls as she looked at the same emerald eyes she missed seeing every day from her friend. "Thank you dear but, this is a gift from your mother, not so much me."

"My mom?"

Peaking his interest, Izuku watched as the queen reached into her pocket. Here she revealed a silver chain bracelet with several small emerald gems along it. In the center was a larger stone than the rest, not bigger than his pinky nail but, it was beautiful all the same. As soon as he saw it, he smiled, seeing it was a matching set of the necklace and earrings he had in his crate upstairs.

"I was the only child of my parents as they were not able to have more, and I was a daughter no less so not many people were too happy about that. I got a lot of pressure put on my shoulders at a very young age for being the only heir to my parents. To ensure our kingdom would be ruled and taken care of by a good king once my father passed, there was a lot of strain on me to find the perfect husband. When I tell you I have seen half the world, I truly mean it. I searched high and low for a reasonable king, someone I could also stand as a mate. Well, after so long looking, I was beginning to lose hope, to think I wasn't destined to be with anybody. I confided in your mother about how I was feeling and she called me ridiculous, insane even for thinking something like that." Izuku chuckled, knowing his mother could be harsh when she needed to be, more so with people she loved. "She came to see me before my trip west, the fourth suitor I had to go meet that month. She saw me freaked out and looking down at myself.

"Instead of telling me the same thing everyone else was telling me about looking for a king, someone compassionate about ruling a kingdom one day, she told me to look for love. No one else had been caring about that. No one cared if I found love or not as long as I was married to the right person in the interest of the kingdom. It made me smile to think at least one person was on my side. Of course, that person was your mother, who else would be that selfless?" As she continued to speak, the queen put the bracelet on the omega's wrist, latching it and smiling to see him wear it. "She told me she had a good feeling about this one and not to give up hope. My sweet friend then took off her bracelet, a set she always wore, and gave it to me as good luck. She told me there was some sort of enchantment on the stones to give extra good luck to those who are still looking to find love. I didn't know until years later that was complete bullshit and your mom only said it to cheer me up."

The two of them laughed, looking at the gems that now sat on the omega's skin as if they were meant to be there. "And the suitor?"

"Hmm?"

"The suitor, the one you went to see with the bracelet. Who was it?"Mitsuki pressed her brows together as she thought about it but quickly gasped as she covered her mouth, and even began to cry. Right away Izuku thought he messed up. That is until the queen then grinned.

"You know, it never occurred to me that when she gave me this bracelet, it was to meet Masaru." She laughed aloud now as she glanced at her husband who was smiling and chatting with the guest at the celebration for their son. "I guess she was right about the enchantment. I wore these good luck gems to go meet him and a month and a half later when we saw each other at a ball, we couldn't stay away from each other. I had been wearing them then too. Ha, maybe she was the one to enchant them herself."

Izuku smiled as he looked between the king and queen. Their eyes found each other, making the king grin to notice his wife. He quickly excused himself and stood in front of the table. He was about to say something when he noticed the bracelet. "Oh, I remember that. You wore it when we met and at our wedding. You're giving it to - oh - it was your mother's. Of course. You know that thing has some type of good luck to it."

He joked, leaning over the table and winking. Mitsuki only shook her head with a blinding smile as she walked around the table to join her husband.

"You have no idea, my king." She leaned in, kissing him. The scene made the omega happy. Something about seeing two people in love, two people he cared about so much being in love with each other, it was as beautiful as any work of art.

As the king and queen went to rejoin their guest, chatting with their usual friends, a member of staff approached the rabbit. "Your Highness, a note from the prince."

Izuku took it, thanking her. Small hands unfolded the paper to read it.

Join me on our balcony.

Emerald eyes looked around, not seeing his prince or the nobles anywhere. The omega assumed they were sneaking off from yet another event. It was a reoccurring habit of theirs now. Every event they attended together, the two of them would usually wait a couple of hours or so before sneaking off to be just the two of them. Sometimes they'd sneak some dinner off together, sometimes they just needed a break. Other times, well, it was for more personal reasons.

Grinning in anticipation of what his husband had in store for him, Izuku hurried to their room. Once up there, he saw the balcony doors open but the shades were drawn as they waved in the wind so he couldn't see outside. Before heading outside, he removed his anklets which were starting to cut into him, as well as his bracelets, and earrings. Carefully in the box that held his items, he put his prized possessions together. The red ruby ring and emerald bracelet were side by side to combine the two most important people in his life.

Peaking his head out, the rabbit tried to look for his mate, but he wasn't there. His brows knit together as he got closer to the edge. He heard muffled voices below and peered over the side to see the three nobles groaning as they got out of the water fountain where they had been dunked by the prince. Now fully sober, they rang their soaked clothes out.

Izuku chuckled at the scene below as he turned to see if maybe his alpha was still in their room. As he did so, three men he had never seen before were standing in his way, between the only way off this balcony. They were all betas, covered in scars, and had a look of evil written on their faces. They all stepped closer to the omega who took a step back as well, his back hitting the ledge. From here, his smell of distress and panic could be sensed by the ones in front of him. "It's okay wittle wabbit, we'll take good care of ya."

His pheromones also reached the three below thanks to the wind. All three looked around as the smell of burnt mint found them. They knew that scent, they knew their friend was in trouble. "There!"

They all looked where Sero was pointing up, seeing the green curls frantically look around. Denki looked to the redhead, the only alpha there and leader when the blonde wasn't present. "Didn't Bakugo just head back to the party to find him? Why is he up there alone and distressed?"

"Don't know, but we have to help. Denki, find Bakugo. Sero, with me." The redhead and other noble sprouted their dragon wings, tails, and horns as the other raced back to the party.

The two dragons flew up to the balcony, landing on the ledge to spot three strange men trying to corner their rabbit friend who looked terrified. Kirishima stepped in front of Izuku as Sero raised a sword from his side. "Who the hell are you and what are you trying to do to the prince's mate?"

The three men looked at each other and sighed. "We were hoping to avoid a fight, so if you don't mind, let us take our bounty and go?"

"Bounty? There isn't a bounty for Prince Bakugo's new bride." Kirishima was blunt as he snarled at the men who were lying.

"Oh yes there is, but it's with him alive so, I'll tell you this once: Hand him over, and no one gets hurt." The two dragons didn't move. "Fine. I warned you."

The two men standing on the far left and right side quickly reached behind them, exposing some sort of weapon. Kirishima and Sero lunged but metal nets were shot at them, pinning them to the ground immediately. They both grunted and tried their best to get up, but the material was too heavy for them to move it alone. Izuku hurried to Kirishima's side as he was closest. He tried lifting it and helping but it was barely moving. Together they managed to get him an arm free but not before two pair of hands grabbed the rabbit.

"No, let go!"

"Midoriya!" Kirishima and Sero both shouted, panic setting in for the two of them as they tried their best to escape and help their friend.

Izuku kicked at and tried to get away from the men, managing to scratch and bite a few times but they restrained him quickly, tying his ankles and wrist together as he still struggled and screamed out for help. They finally tied a cloth around his mouth to muffle his insults before being thrown over someone's shoulder. The omega looked back at his friends, all three of them wishing to be set free as the men jumped from the balcony to a nearby window below, then another, and another before reaching a ladder tied to the roof. They descended to the side of the castle where three guards were piled together. It was unclear to emerald eyes if they were still alive or not.

The entire time he thrashed and tried to escape, anything to get away from this man and whoever had placed a bounty on his head.

"God, could you fucking quit it already? You're not going anywhere unless it's with one of us three so just submit already." The man holding him punched his thigh, stinging the new tattoo the greenette had received only the day before.

They got to the wall, climbing up another ladder they had placed to get down. On the outside of the wall were three horses waiting for them, tied to a couple of trees. Izuku struggled harder, knowing if they managed to get him on that horse, it was highly likely they'd get away far enough to never be seen again.

"Son of a bitch. I've fucking had it!" One of them shouted, bringing Izuku to his feet only to punch the rabbit in the head repeatedly, making his head spin and ears ring. He felt he might pass out, but fought against it in the moment best he could. "There, now be fucking still."

As they took off, the horse's hooves boomed against the ground. Izuku was sat on the back of one of their horses, legs slung over the side and a few ropes to connect him to the rider in charge of him. It was useless.

Suddenly, a hot fireball was thrown at one of the men, hitting him and causing him to fall off the horse. This commotion made them all turn to look behind them. To their horror and the omega's delight, the prince was flying at record speed to catch up with them. He had fire coming from his fist as he used his dragon abilities to get his mate back. Steam rolled from his mouth as well where his fangs were elongated in fury.

"Stop there and give me my fucking mate!"

"Goddammit!" One man shouted, trying to make the horses run faster.

Izuku also tried to fight against his assailants, to get away, to fall over even but, nothing worked. How he was sitting and his position, he couldn't use anything to push off of or use as leverage to kick off. The man was too heavy for him as well or else he'd just lean too far to one side.

The prince was getting closer, throwing fireballs one after another to knock them off course, spook the horses, or make them stop. Emerald eyes looked at his mate in amazement and it seemed like he was so close to saving him. He was so close to reaching the greenette that his large hand stopped burning and reached out to the greenette. Inches apart now as he flew harder. Time seemed to slow down now as the scene unfolded in front of the two of them.

THUNK!

Something was shot off ahead of them, sending an arrow into the middle of the prince's chest. The sound it made as it punctured the blonde was something that would haunt the rabbit forever. He watched in horror as Katsuki was launched backward and fell to the ground. His body rolled harshly from the impact.

"No~" Izuku called out through a muffled scream. He held his hands up higher but they didn't move. He tried his feet but they were retrained to his body. Every possible way for him to get away was thought of as he uselessly sat on the back of the beast.

The omega looked back, tears streaming down his face as the unmoving body of his mate got further and further away. He pleaded in his mind to whoever could hear him, to please, let him live. Whatever terrible things were about to happen to the omega, whatever he had to endure from this point on, he'd accept it as long as his mate could live.

"Kacchan!" It was hard to make out and barely audible but, he had hoped by saying it, it would make the dragon move, look up, to do something to show he was alive. The only thing Izuku got before riding out of sight, was complete stillness.

A/N:
Damn, Katsuki cannot win.
Always getting hit in the chest and fucking dying. Yikes.

Chapter Text

People had been coming and going to change the prince's bandages, inspect his condition, and then check to see if he was awake. Meanwhile, anyone and everyone was looking for the green-haired rabbit omega who had just married Dragon Prince Katsuki Bakugo of the Crimson Kingdom.

The king and queen especially were wreaking havoc all over, not leaving a leaf unturned to find their son's mate. Not only that but they were looking for the other two men who were involved in the act of harming their son who now lay in the infirmary, just barely recovered. Lucky for dragon hybrids, they heal quickly. The wound in his chest had already closed, only a deep red scar to be seen. He had broken his arm in the fall as well but that was healed too, just wrapped to his chest to not move it. Now, they only had to wait for him to wake up and after some time, he finally did.

Crimson eyes peaked open, looking around at the couple of nurses who stood on the side of his bed, to check on his chest wound. His first move was to grab one of them by the forearm, not hard as he was still weak but it scared her nonetheless. His voice was horse, it hurt his throat since he hadn't been able to eat or drink anything for a week now. "I-zu-ku. Ma-te."

The older of the two nurses who the alpha held onto sighed. She put her hand over his and looked back at the nurse behind her. "Go to the queen, tell her the prince is awake and needs her right away."

"Y-yes ma'am." She squealed out, scurrying away to find Mitsuki right away.

Feeling ignored, Katsuki tried to sit up, grunting at his sore muscles. "Izu-ku."

"I heard you, Your Highness. Your dam is on her way here right now to tell you everything. For now, let's get you a drink and I will order you a meal. Please, allow her to get here and calm down for now. I can help you sit up." The sweet lady helped him sit up and carefully unwrapped his arm from his chest. While he was mended, he had been lying here for a while now and his muscles were waking up with him.

The nurse managed to get him a glass of water and requested to get food to him right away as the queen rushed into the room and to his bedside. She hugged his shoulders carefully, cupping his cheeks as she smiled. "Finally."

"Finally? How fucking long have I been out?" Katsuki's anger was growing by the second as no one was telling him what he wanted to know. So many questions were running around in his head and none of them were near being answered. "Where the fuck is Izuku and how long have I been asleep?"

Mitsuki's smile faded, her lips pressing together as she pulled a chair closer to the bedside of the prince. Before she said anything, her hand reached out to hold his. "First off, you were hit with a crossbow. The arrow hit your sternum thankfully and missed your major organs. You also broke your arm so you need to be careful with your right forearm. When we found you, you had lost a lot of blood and it sent you into a small coma. So, to answer your second question, you've been asleep for a week now."

A week.

So much could have happened in a week. So much he missed. That answer sparked a handful of more questions but, he didn't have the time to deal with it. He had asked the first question about Izuku first for a reason.

"Mother," The alpha lowered his voice and his gaze. His fist clenched, heating up. "Where, the fuck, is Izuku?"

Matching crimson eyes looked into his own, wondering how to say this and more importantly how he'd react. At that time, the king appeared, happy to see his son awake as well but the tension had him paused. "We don't know where Izuku is honey. I'm sorry, but we are working on it."

"Working on it?" The alpha's dominating pheromones filled the air, only angrier to know the answer now. "My mate is missing for a week and you tell me you're fucking working on it?"

"Katsuki-" Mitsuki tried.

"No, no! I don't want to fucking hear it. I want my mate, I want to fucking find him. Where the hell is Izuku?" His voice was shaking the bed and equipment around him. Katsuki turned in bed, groaning in pain as he stood face to face with his mother who was remorseful to not have found Izuku yet. "I don't want to hear anything other than what the hell you've done to try to find him."

"That's understandable. Why don't we-" Mitsuki tried once more as her son seemed to growl.

"No, I want to know-"

For the first time in possibly his entire life, Katsuki watched his father stand between him and his mother as he looked at the prince with pure anger. His father put his forearm against his son's chest, pushing him to sit back down on the bed.

"You can be angry all you want, but you will not yell at your mother like this, nor when she's been working her ass off to find Izuku. Sit down, and shut up for once." His voice was commanding as a father and fellow alpha. What he said did calm Katsuki, but only slightly. He was pointing his anger in the wrong direction and certainly the wrong person. He huffed, realizing his mistake as a staff member came to give him several plates of food for whatever he wanted. He sat back in the bed, a table being rolled over to him for the food. "Good. Now, let's get you caught up on what we know."

During his meal of several types of food, his parents told him about what had happened since his wedding night. The man who he managed to knock off his horse was keeping his mouth shut but was placed in holding in the cells. He wasn't saying who was with him, who hired him, or the reason for all of this. Kirishima and Sero explained them saying something about a bounty but no one else, even the spies they hired to be criminals had heard about this. Whatever was going on was being done under the table.

As far as word about Izuku, it seems this was well and longingly thought out because he just fell off the face of the earth. Other kingdoms had similar lookouts for the rabbit but not a single clue as to where he was taken had arrived. A few scouts have followed the trail of the two other men who took him but it came up short once they ran into a river. Nothing since then. No hint as to what direction they went in, where they were going, and where they were heading, nothing. Not a single clue where he was.

******

The cells below the castle were dark, smelled like decay, and were barely occupied. That didn't matter to the prince though, no one else mattered right now. He had two people on his mind right now. Of course, his missing mate was one of them, but now he had murderous intent for the one person at the end of this hall.

Pulling the cloak over his head so no one could see him or his face, he quietly crept to a wall, grabbing the keys to not jingle or alert the guards. What he had planned was just for him, no one else was allowed to know. No one else was allowed to witness what was about to happen for the sake of his reputation, his kingdom, and maybe even their sanity. Truthfully if someone did catch him, he wouldn't care or stop.

Finding the cell he needed, he unlocked the door, shutting it behind him. The stranger's head lifted from leaning against his wall. There was a stupid smug look on his face when he saw someone else had entered his cell.

"Who the hell are-" The prick didn't answer as his throat was squeezed by a large hand being pressed against it.

The Crimson Kingdom did not torture very often. Their criminals were all given a consequence based on their judges and the sentence was carried out right away. But Katsuki was not the kingdom, he wasn't even the prince right now. Katsuki was here as a concerned mate, looking for his omega.

"I want to know everything you know about where Izuku is, right now." The venom-laced voice was deep and intimidating. The prisoner had the fucking audacity to chuckle.

"Izuku? Are you talking about the wittle wabbit we were hired to take? Hah, yeah. Listen, pal, your guys have already tried to get me to talk and all I gotta say is," He turned his head the best he could to try to find a face in the dark cloak. "Fuck you."

A growl erupted from the alpha as he pulled the man away from the wall, the chains on his wrist rattling before slamming him right back into the wall, cracking it in the process. The stranger looked confused as he was silenced by pain. He looked up, slightly worried as no one else had even laid a hand on him at this point and here this guy was, seemingly ready to kill him.

"I won't ask again," Katsuki warned. "You are going to tell me everything you fucking know and what the fucking plan was or you will lose your damn head."

"Who are you?"

The prince paused. He wanted to keep his identity unknown, but then again, once he got told what he wanted to know by this dickwad, he'd be dead. Chucking, Katsuki slowly removed his hood, his eyes glowing red and mouth spewing with smoke from the fire burning in his throat as a pissed-off dragon. His eyes poured into the terrified criminal in front of him as he snarled, proudly showing off his long canines.

"I'm the one who's mate you fucking took."

******

As he shoved things into a small satchel, someone walked into his room. The prince growled, turning to see Kirishima there. Rose-colored eyes looked at the bag and his friend. "Don't try to talk me out of it, Shitty Hair. I don't care if this ruins my place in the royal line and you know it. I'm gonna kill them. All of the bastard who dare lay a finger on him."

The redhead sighed, crossing his arms as he looked down. "I'm not here to talk you out of it, but I'm here to join you."

Crimson eyes looked to his friend. Since that day, all three nobles have been practically killing themselves to try to find Izuku. They felt awful about not doing more for him, for not protecting him even though they truly did try anything and everything they could.

"Ei, you don't have to keep beating yourself up over this." He stated, knowing they'll all be in the right head space again when they get over it and feel better. "Izuku will be pissed to know you're sulking like this over trying to help him."

"I know, but none of us will feel better until he's home." Kirishima sounded so firm as if this wasn't an option. "Just me. I know you want to do the right thing and maybe even do some sketchy shit to get him home and I am fully on board. I'm ready to kill Kats."

Katsuki looked to his friend who was hurting just as much. Everyone was struggling, everyone was hurting, and everyone was feeling his empty presence. "Fine but, don't get in my fucking way."

"Wasn't planning on it. Where are we heading?"

The prince turned to grab his bag and put it over his shoulder. There was a scowl yet smirk on his face as he wanted to laugh about what was told to him, about the facts he knew, it also made him want to break everything in the room.

"I'll tell you on the way. As much as I'd like to say you'll be surprised. I don't think you will."

A/N:
Kiri is such a ride or die.
I feel like even if he didn't witness it and feel like this, he'd still join his best friend to hunt down Mido! Very manly 💪💪💪💪

Chapter Text

Izuku hadn't slept in days. The first night they rode to the river and followed the stream upward which was hard to do and the rabbit kept slipping, falling on the sharp rocks that cut and bruised his legs. A few miles ahead they rode off on the other side of the river, on a trail so the hooves wouldn't be noticed as anything weird. From there they went from city to city, gagging him, stuffing him into bags, hitting him, or knocking him out fully when they stopped at a hotel. He's been getting sick pretty often too. The stress of it was getting to him.

They didn't travel very far when they did move as they only used a couple, maybe four hours of the night traveling before coming to the next inn to stay in. All of it was very well thought out, making Izuku incredibly confused.

He was fed scraps, not cared for, thrown around like a rag doll, and not allowed to talk, or else he'd be hit. Now, a week later, they ride as the sun comes up, coming to a small house on the edge of the city. A dad and his young son are there, farming in the very small garden they had outside their home.

"Hello there sir, how are you and your pup doing on this fine day?" The man suspiciously looked between all three of them. The man with him smiled proudly as the rabbit tried to make himself smaller. Izuku still wore the white bridal dress but the jewelry he had been wearing to show any signs of royalty or importance had been taken off or thrown into the river. He was also forced to wear a knitted vest to cover his back as they struggled to remove the paint on his skin.His wrists and ankles were tied which the farmer noticed right away, raising a brow. The other man with them stepped forward. "Uh, we are bounty hunters, and this one has run away from his master. He's a slave you see."

"What do you want?"

"We have traveled far and for a long time. Would we be able to sleep and maybe get a meal? We'll leave by sunset, we prefer to travel at night." The other man reached behind him where a knife was. As much as the omega didn't want to stay here, he silently begged the man would say yes because if he didn't, they'd kill him.

"We can pay you handsomely for the inconvenience." The first one said smugly.

The farmer was poor, which was evident by the small home, what he wore, and the condition of his tools that desperately needed to be replaced. He looked to his son, then back at the greenette, before nodding with shame. He knew something wasn't right but, he was in no position to help or say anything.

"Fine. Stay for the day, we are working outside all day anyway." The farmer motioned to the house.

"Thank you."

Inside was small. There was only a kitchen and two bedrooms. The omega had to stay tied to one of their ankles so he couldn't escape without waking them up. That never stopped him from trying, several times. Every single day he had tried something new, something that would possibly allow him to get away from them but, to no avail. He was stuck here, uselessly. There was nothing else for him to do.Well, not nothing.

Every single place he stopped at, every inn, Izuku rubbed his wrist on the walls in case someone was following them or looking for his scent. He was careful not to overdo it so his captures wouldn't notice but, it was something he did each time. It was a small breadcrumb to find him and he wasn't even sure if it was working but, here he was, trying anyway. It was something that gave him hope at this point, hope that someone was out there looking for him. He only did it when they were leaving somewhere though as to not draw attention to it.

As his captures slept, he could only think about his mate. His mind was beginning to play tricks on him about what he saw. He thought maybe he might've seen the blonde move or begin to get up before he was too far to see him. His mind then made him remember he didn't move at all and maybe the crunching noise was his neck, meaning he was dead. All of this was beginning to truly torment the rabbit. He wasn't sure where his mate was, if he was alive, and if someone was bothering to look for him.

As promised, the men didn't stay long. The farmer and his son had a meal waiting for them when they woke up, some type of stew. Izuku was offered a very small bowl of it, just enough nutrition to keep him alive. As he sat down, the farmer and boy looked at him. He made it a show to move his skirt around as he sat, drawing attention to the tattoo on his leg of the Crimson Kingdom crest he had. There was a rumor in other cities that only royals wore it, others saying nobles, others saying the slaves there which would feed the narrative of him being a runaway. Then again they were heading away from the Crimson Kingdom so that wouldn't have made sense. Wherever they were, whoever this duo was, he hoped they'd be able to help somehow.

Once they were done, the men he was with packed things up to go. Izuku's feet stayed planted. "What the hell is wrong with you?"

"I-I have to use the restroom."

"Jesus, just piss on the side of the house and make it fucking quick. We have to be on the other side of these fucking woods in only a few short hours so get on with it!" His capture shouted, pushing him to the backside of the house. Here, Izuku placed his forearm above his head and leaned against the home, making sure his wrist was against it and could be scented. Not his ideal spot but, whatever he could get. "Come on!"

Izuku walked to the front when he was done and was tossed right back on a horse. Again the rabbit adjusted his skirt piece, letting them see the ink in his skin all over again, memorizing it. "Thank you for the hospitality."

They threw the farmer a bag of coins, paying him for the visit. The son looked sad to see him leave, maybe feeling bad for him being a slave but, he too was in no position to help or do anything. Maybe, just maybe their guilt will help with something, to be able to say the right thing to the right people.Then again, that was a little too hopeful.

******

A couple of hours before sunrise, they managed to make it to the other side of the woods. The mountains began here but what caught emerald eye was the large iron door built into the side of the mountain with guards keeping watch of it. As they got closer, Izuku peered at the uniforms and the crest they presented. The Amber Kingdom?

Izuku shook his head in disbelief. Instead of the hurt, confusion, and fear he had been feeling, it was all replaced with anger. Camie had done this. This was her kingdom, her hired men, and her plan to get rid of him. The rabbit would laugh if this wasn't so heartbreaking as well. She did all this to get with the prince who hates her guts and still wouldn't touch her with a six-foot pole. Even if Izuku had been killed or died from natural causes, not only would his instincts not allow him to move on, but he'd still hate her. She did all this to get him and yet, he was either severely hurt or dead because of her hired men. Great plan.

"Here, we have a prisoner who is to await here for his next movement." One of his captures handed the paperwork to the main guard. He read it over and nodded.

"Have a good one, we'll take it from here." The guard boomed.

"W-wait, where am I, and what is this place? Please I just-" Izuku was smacked across the face with the back of the guard's hand.

"Now, he's annoying, I know that." One capture states. "But the note says he needs to be looked at and cared for with as few injuries as possible per the guy who's picking him up later."

That didn't make any sense. They hadn't been taking good care of him at all. They'd been hitting and knocking him around this around. Until their last inn, until they had a note waiting for them. Why go through all the trouble of getting him out of the way, only to make sure he was alive and well? Izuku thought he'd be taken here and then moved somewhere else to be killed.

The guard reread the note and rolled his eyes. "Fine. Get him inside and call a doctor to see him."

"Pleasure doing business with you boys. Izuku?" Emerald eyes glared at the man. "Be good for your new alpha, okay?"

There it was, the last puzzle piece. Camie's plan for Izuku wasn't to be killed, she sold him. She knew there was a high reward to omega rabbits out there, male ones more so for their rarity, and she took the chance to not only get the rabbit out of her place but to make a profit for him as well. It was all coming together and it only made the greenette squirm and fight against his restraints more. Unfortunately, the guards grabbed him, dragging him away easily as he was malnourished and much too tired to fight too hard for too long.

He was easily swept away, being hauled away as he tried to get out of their grip. Something in him gave him the adrenaline he hadn't had in days to fight, to scream, to yell out who he was. "I'm Katsuki Bakugo's mate, I was taken on my wedding night! Please, tell someone in the Crimson Kingdom I am here, I am begging you!"

None of them cared, and no one listened, they all rolled their eyes as he was tossed into a black, cold, single cell. He was happy to be alone but at the same time, he was so scared. There was no way of knowing where he was, how far away his mate was if he was even alive, or if anyone was looking for him. He'd like to think that the king and queen, his new in-laws, wouldn't take kindly to something like this happening but there was no way of knowing that for sure. There was no way to know who was out there and what was being said or not being said to others. Everything was coming crashing down in the once-perfect world he had arranged with the prince.

The rabbit had curled himself into a small ball in the corner when his door clunked and squeaked open. A smaller lady, older, and with big thick glasses smiled at him. "Well, aren't you a pretty one?"

"W-who are you?" The greenette let out a small sob, unable to help it.

"I'm here to help honey. Heard you got a little banged up on the way here. Now, let me take a look alright?"

There was nothing off about her, no unsettling scent or reason to believe she wasn't truly here to help. Izuku allowed her to clean the wounds on his legs from the river, his wrist from being tied for so long as well as his ankles, and a check on the rest of his body as well. She applied some ointment and patted his back.

"There you go, not so bad ay?" She teased. "Well, I'll be bringing you some extra blankets and some more food for you. I'll even tell the cook to send more up here whenever he can, you're going to need it."

"Thank you."

"Did you want to know?"

"Know what?" He asked, curling into himself again, feeling sick.

"Their condition."

Izuku was not in the mood. He was getting more and more frustrated with this lady. Her tiptoeing around a topic without just spitting it out was getting on his nerves. "What are you talking about?"

She looked up at him, squinting her eyes. Suddenly she burst into laughter and patted the rabbit's knee. "My apologies, honey, I didn't know you didn't know yet."

"About what?" The rabbit snapped.

Her head dropped a little, her heart going out to the greenette next to her now as she realized he was imprisoned and away from his mate in this condition. "You, my dear, are pregnant."

"W-what?" Izuku's eyes widened.He thought over it all. It's not like they were being too careful about it, but - oh, the rut. Izuku thought maybe he had gone too long without a sign of pregnancy since they were knotted to worry about or even think of having pups.

"You're about a couple months along now, typical for babies to start making themselves known now." She stated that the rabbit's mind still spiraled. That would explain him getting sick so often. "Is the sire a rabbit too?"

"No, he's-" Izuku took a deep breath, wondering if his mate was ever going to see, know about, or meet his pup. "He's a dragon."

"Oh, then you're going to need even more blankets, aren't you? Dragon pups like to take all their dam's body heat. Ha, well, I'll be right back for your three in a jiffy."

"Three?"

"Oh, hon, you're having twins."

She smiled but that only made Izuku's tears fully fall down his face now. Her hand hesitated but soon rubbed his back. Her stethoscope moved to his belly.

"There's one," She patted the rhythm on his back before moving it around on his belly more. "There's two. Yep, two very strong and healthy pups are a' brewing in there."

The lady tried to lighten the mood which was nice but, not right now. There was no reason to be happy or celebrate this yet. Not where he was and without knowing Katsuki's condition. "Thank you."

Hesitantly, she left to get the things she mentioned before. While alone, Izuku looked down at his unshowing stomach. He placed a hand on each spot where she heard a heartbeat. He didn't feel anything but, he held them anyway.

"It'll be okay. It'll be okay."

Chapter Text

Two pairs of boots thudded on the palace floors as Katsuki and Kirishima walked into the Amber Kingdom's throne room. The king and his wife sat in their chairs as they usually did. They smiled, greeting the prince who looked anything but friendly as his wings, horns, and tail were still revealed to the fox hybrids.

"Katsuki," The king started, raising a brow and shifting in his seat. The dominating pheromones that rolled off the blonde were causing him to get nervous. That and the very intimidating stare-down he was getting right now. "What brings you to my neck of the woods?"

"Where is your daughter?" The prince asked coldly.

"Camie, she uh-" The king turned to his wife, confused.

"We will summon her right away." The queen looked to a servant who scurried to the hall immediately. "We just returned from your wedding only the day before. What makes you come all this way looking for her?"

The queen's voice was sweet and light, likely having no idea what the reason for the visit was, and for her sake, the prince hoped that was true. Although, with how nice they were being, how clueless they were acting was annoying the hell out of him. They had sat idly by while their brat of a daughter harassed him for years and only shook their heads at her behavior toward his mate. They weren't at fault for this but, if they had played a bigger part in telling their daughter off when needed, then maybe this could have been avoided.

"As you may know, my mate was kidnapped on our wedding night."

The king and queen looked at each other, bowing their heads. "Yes, we heard. We offered to stay and help search but your parents sent us home to get the word out here to look for him. We did send a handful more guards to monitor and check the ports as that was where our omegas were being found."

"Well, I'm here because I managed to arrest one of the men who took him," Katsuki smirked smugly although his eyes held hatred. "He told me, the person who hired him, lived in your kingdom."

The king looked angry now. "Did he give you a name? I will reprimand this criminal immediately!"

At that moment, a smiling and flirty-eyed Camie entered the room. She looked at her parents sweetly, but her expression quickly dropped when she spotted the blonde standing there. Camie looked at her parents in confusion before forcing a smile at them, and looked to Katsuki, skipping up to him as usual.

"I'm glad you think that way, Your Highness. The name he gave me, was hers!" Katsuki grabbed Camie's throat, lifting her and slamming her back into the floor under them. The king and queen quickly rose to their feet. "Tell me where the fuck they took him!"

"Katsuki, unhand my daughter! I'm certain she has nothing to do with-" The king and queen rushed to their daughter.

"Your dog already ratted you out. Said you hired him and the other two to kidnap him and take him to an unknown location to be sold. He said you hired them, you paid them for the job with hush money. Tell me Camie, is it worth your life to take this secret to your very quickly approaching death?"

Kirishima stopped the couple from coming closer, snarling at them. Camie looked to her parents for help, then at the prince above her. She desperately clawed at and struggled against the much bigger and stronger alpha. Seeing it was useless and she had already been caught, she cried harder. "Okay - please - let me go!"

Katsuki removed his hand but stayed looming over her. She coughed and inhaled sharply to get air back into her lungs. The queen had tears in her eyes as she covered her mouth in shock. Her father looked like he didn't know what he was seeing.

"Please tell me you had nothing to do with this." Her mother demanded.

The princess only hung her head lower, submitting to the alpha and the rest of the room. Her parents both gasped at this. Deciding not to waste any time, the dragon lifted Camie by her upper arm, warming his hand so she could feel how ready he was to burn her.

"I'll ask one more fucking time, where the hell is Izuku?" The blonde screamed into her ear.

The girl was a crying and regretful mess as she sobbed. She cried from the embarrassment, the fact she got caught, and how her parents looked at her right now. However, she was not sorry for her actions. The lack of remorse was angering an already pissed-off prince who was seconds away from killing her. If he didn't need information out of her, she might have already been dead.

"There's -" She paused looking at her parents as shame now set in to say this in front of them, ruining the image they had of her in their heads. "A buyer is coming to pick him up at nightfall tomorrow. He was supposed to send a location of pick up to an inn where they'd be. I don't know where he is now. I don't know if they are already there or already left for their last location or not."

"Where is this inn you sent them to?"

"I'll write the address for you. If they aren't there yet or already left, there's no way for me or when you to find him." Camie admitted.

"You better hope we do."

"I don't." She took a deep breath, letting go of one more big sob. "He doesn't belong with you. That commoner is so undeserving of you that you should be thanking me for getting rid of that whore and - AH~!"

Camie shrieked as the large hand holding her arm heated, burning a handprint right above her elbow. When he knew this would leave a permanent mark, Katsuki dropped her, letting her hold her bleeding and bulging arm as she continued to scream about the pain. No one rushed to her aide. It was a toss-up of whether or not people cared to look away or stare at her in disgust at her actions. Either way, she was alone on this and based on the disappointing and horrified looks on the king and queen's faces, they had no involvement.

The prince turned to her parents. "What do you plan to do with her?"

Distraught, the king glanced at his wife before confidently saying, "She is no longer a daughter of ours."

"Father!" She yelled, still holding her arm.

"This is unforgivable. No princess, no human being would ever act like this. You are hereby banished from my kingdom." He stated, turning on his heel with his wife who seemed to share the same thought. They looked away to leave the girl alone.

Katsuki only smirked. "Now, give me that address."

******

The door to the inn split nearly in two as the two very angry and determined dragons smashed their way inside. The redhead talked to the front desk to ask about the men who may or may not have been here already or if he'd received a letter as the prince stormed through the hallways. His nose was in the air as he searched for a certain scent, trying to tell if the omega had been here yet or not. Just as his shoulders turned to round the corner to the stairs, he stopped.

Mint.

The door to the right of him reeked of it. Luckily for the maintenance man, the door was unlocked. Inside was a room that was still messy from people sleeping in there. Between the two beds on the floor, the scent increased. Katsuki stared down for a second, not sure if he should burst into happy tears that he had been here and was alive to scent the floor or let anger overtake him from the fact he was already gone. Realizing he had until tomorrow night, he rushed to the front.

The receptionist was confused, trying to hear out the redhead but acting like they had no idea what he was trying to say. Suddenly, Katsuki was leaping over the desk, grabbing the arm of the wolf hybrid, and slamming his head into the counter. "Room eight, it smells like my mate. He was here with the two men who kidnapped him. Rabbit, green hair, freckles. I know you've seen him and you're gonna tell me every-fucking-thing you know about him, now."

Struggling against the enraged dragon was useless. Sobbing through pain and the fear of this alpha killing him, the receptionist talked quickly.

"They came in here and were told they were waiting on a letter. I had gotten one that morning that when given to me by some cloaked man, told me two men would be coming in later that day and asking for it. I was not to open it if I wanted to keep my life but," Still pinned to the counter, the beta reached forward, lifting a paper that Kirishima took. "They left that in their trash and I got too curious."

"It just says 'West.' Do they mean travel west or is that code for something?" Kirishima asked.

"I don't know! That's all I found. The rabbit you're talking about, he had his wrist tied and they told me he was a runaway slave they were sent to get. I didn't know about a missing person or anything I swear." The guy started to cry harder, trembling. "They left the other night as soon as the sun went down!"

Seeing there was nothing else here, Katsuki released the man. Still angry and running into yet again another dead end, he broke the furniture they had in the small entrance to the inn. He burned a table, smashed a chair against the wall, and set fire to the curtains near the window which the receptionist rushed to pat out.

The dragons huffed, looking around as they thought about their next move. There was nothing out here to tell him where they might have been. All they had to go off of was the word 'West' which Kirishima was right, could mean to travel West or be code for something else. Hell, it could even be someone's name.

"Hey, I know you don't care about it right now, but why don't we eat a meal while we put our heads together about what to do." Kirishima sounded disappointed. He was hoping to get more from this place too.

The redhead was angry, sad, and felt helpless all in one. He was angry he had let them take the rabbit in the first place, especially since he was right there to stop them. He was sad they hadn't found him yet, knowing the loving omega he had met just a year ago didn't deserve any of this. He truthfully saw the rabbit as his little brother at this point, even encouraged and loved to see how he and his best friend, the once stubborn prince, smiled and enjoyed the other's company. The helplessness came from not knowing how to help now. He was following Katsuki around, letting the blonde lead as he just backed him up. Right now, he didn't know what else he could do but, he'd do anything to get the greenette home.

"Whatever."

Katsuki hated to have to pause their search for something as simple as a meal, but he followed the redhead to the nearest food vendor and sat down. Kirishima got them each a bowl of ramen, even ordering the prince one with extra spice added as he liked.

"So, what are your thoughts?"

"I-" Katsuki took a deep breath. "I don't fucking know."

He looked off to the side. The sun was barely peeking over the horizon now, about to descend completely.

Kirishima could only nod, having the same thought process. What the hell could it mean, where should they go, what was the rabbit up to right now since they were working on selling him? None of it made sense and wasn't adding up. This was getting more aggravating to deal with.

"What's wrong son?" A father-son duo sat next to them at a table. "I thought you liked ramen?"

"I do. It's just, well-" The boy felt sympathetic. "He didn't look like he was very happy."

"I know but, you heard the men, they said he was a slave."

"But he had that tattoo, a fancy one." The boy remarked.

As soon as he said tattoo, dragon ears perked up. They looked over to the duo, eavesdropping as they leaned in closer. It was a long shot as tattoos were becoming more frequent to see on anyone, but anything right now was worth a step in the right direction. Whatever that hint might be or who it came from.

"He did. You're right. I saw it too and I had my concerns about it but, we needed the money to let them stay with us and I thought if we pried they wouldn't pay. I'm sorry. I'm curious about it too. Now, eat." The boy pouted looking down at his ramen. "It'll be okay."

"If you say so."

"Yeah, I mean I don't think I'll ever be able to smell mint again without thinking about him but, we-"

"Mint? Did you say you had someone in your home smelling like mint?" Katsuki interrupted with concern and anger. The dad looked at his son, confused. "Please, I need to know."

Seeing he was desperate to know, the dad sighed. "Yeah. A little omega."

"Rabbit, green hair, freckles, a tattoo like this one?" Katsuki turned, showing off his upper arm.

The boy smiled wide. "That's it!"

Katsuki met his friend's gaze, smiling slightly before going back to the two next to them. They explained who they were and the events that took place. The prince was even confident enough to show them the note they had from the inn.

"Please, tell me when this was and what direction they might've gone in."

As a proud eavesdropper, it pays off sometimes.

Chapter Text

The little old lady who came to see him and check on his babies a couple of times a day was the only person who took care of him. The guards looked at him like an annoyance which was sort of understandable. Because he had to be held here to wait for his new 'owner,' the guards were glorified babysitters.

"Hello, sweet pea. How are we feeling today?"

"Nauseous and I have an off and on again headache." The rabbit stated, sitting up from the makeshift nest he had created using the blankets given to him.

"Alright, well, I will get you some more frequent water and maybe add protein to your meals to counter the headache as best I can. There isn't a lot I can get away with but I am willing to do what I can for pups. I am a sucker the little ones you know." She laughed a little to herself. "Let me take a listen?"

"Please do." Izuku lifted his shirt. There was still no bump yet as expected, but he was getting increasingly excited about what he might look like with one.

"Oh, there they are, tough little boogers they are. I can already tell based on their rhythm and your growing need for warmth you're looking at dragon pups. Sorry if you were hoping for a rabbit like yourself." She shrugged.

"Huh, I never really thought about having one or the other but, dragon pups it is and I'm happy with that," Izuku admitted. Deep down, something he had been thinking a lot about, was how his pups would look when they were born. If he had passed from his injuries, then having his dragon pups would make him feel so much better as it would mean having a piece of his mate even more so than them being his blood. If they looked like him, that would only make his heart happier.

"Have you been thinking about names?" The lady asked, packing her things up.

Izuku let out a deep breath. "Not yet."

He was still holding out hope, even just a small amount that his mate was alive and he or someone else was out there looking for him right now. He'd love to know that, to see it, to know it for certain, but hope was all he had for now.

"Well, then I will be back shortly with your dinner and some more water." She smiled sweetly. "Get some rest, honey."

"Thank you." There was a small pat on his shoulder before she left the room.

Izuku curled right back up as he held his dress to his nose as a last resort to smell the scent of his alpha. He missed him and craved to have his scent on him again. The greenette's mind did as it always did when he was alone and spiraled as he thought about his mate. He missed Katsuki dearly, wishing he would be here right now to calm him down with his wonderful scent and perfect pheromones but again, all he had was hope.

After only a few minutes of being alone, the door clunked open as it did when someone unlocked it. Izuku was nearly asleep, barely moving his head to see who might be bothering him. He half expected it to be the little lady as she was the only person to come in here, but when a man stepped in. The rabbit scrambled to sit up, pressing himself further into the wall behind him.

The stranger's clothes were dark as he removed his hood. A couple of the guards behind him whispered something into his ear, telling him something as they looked between him and the rabbit, letting him know they were talking about him. His eyes traveled up and down the omega's huddled body, smirking as he did so.

"Yeah, you are definitely worth every penny, aren't ya?" Izuku snarled, growling as well which the beta before him only chuckled at. He carried a smug look as he grabbed the rabbit under his arms, picking him up to stand on his feet. The omega tried to fight against him but the taller man only stepped into him, not allowing him enough room to fight against him. "I hear you're pregnant, with a dragon?"

"My mate is Katsuki Bakugo, dragon prince of the-"

"Yeah, yeah, I already fucking know." The guy rolled his eyes as he sighed. When he looked back up at greenette, he raised a brow, looking smug. "So, that means you're pregnant with the prince's pup?"

"Who else's?" Izuku snapped back, trying to get the man to stop touching him but the grip only tightened. The rabbit kept his mouth shut about carrying twins.

The man, surprisingly so, laughed as he looked at Izuku as a prize. It made the rabbit feel dirty like he was something in a store put on display to be bought. That's how most people saw him and he hated it.

"That is fucking gold. Holy shit." The stranger lowered his head, eyes darkened now. "Royal dragon pup, that is going to be a seriously be a nice buck. Anyone would want that."

Izuku went pale. This stranger, this very deranged beta was talking about selling his pups. If he knew there were two, then that would only make him happier. Distracted as he thought about the possibility of his pups being taken from him, the man took out a harsh rope and tied the rabbit's hands behind his back.

"Now, be a good boy and do as you're fucking told. If you behave, you and I will have less trouble." That only added fuel to the fire burning in the pregnant rabbit. Izuku bit into the hand that tried to reach out to him. "Son of a - You filthy little shit!"

The beta wrestled with the omega to the ground. They scratched at each other, snarled, and threw his legs with unlanding kicks all while being dragged outside where the sun was unable to be seen. The guards watched curiously, knowing the greenette was no longer their issue so decided not to get involved. He got closer to a set of horses and another man waiting for them. Seeing their scuffle, the man tried to reach them as well.

Izuku knew if the second man got involved, they would be able to take him. Adrenaline from wanting to protect his pups finally kicked in. The rabbit planted his feet, jumping into the air, knocking the back of his head into the nose of the one holding onto him. As he held his now bleeding nose, Izuku was freed. Without wasting a single second, he took off in the direction the other men had dropped him off from, knowing there was at least a small house that might let him stay and a village not far from there. He was running with more momentum than he had ever had in his entire life. The rabbit knew he had to do anything possible to keep his pups alive, and safe, and hopefully be able to get back to their family who waited for them in the other kingdom.

The rabbit was running until something landed next to him, an arrow. They were shooting at him. Of course, they were aiming at his legs, an attempt to get him to stop running so they could catch him. He was someone's property right now, there was no way they'd risk damaging him too far beyond repair.

Emerald eyes looked back, seeing one being shot at him. He dodged, turning to the right and bolting through the trees. His feet were quick, but the loss of energy, being pregnant, and his endurance were catching up to him too quickly. He ducked between trees, barely avoiding downward-aimed arrows while trying to remain focused on putting as much space between them as possible. Izuku was worried, tired, and not quick enough for the next arrow as it soared through the sky and landed in his calf, making him shriek in pain and fall to the ground on his side. He slid along the forest floor until his back hit a truck of a tree.

Knowing there were people after him, Izuku forced himself to recover quickly. He stood up, looking for a weapon as they got off their horses. The tree he stood next to had a low branch on it with barely any leaves on it yet. It was small enough to break off with some effort, but big enough that the rabbit held it over his shoulder, ready to swing it at them. Seeing him with a decent-sized branch made them hesitate to get closer.

"Go away! I'm not going anywhere with you!" The omega shouted, trying to push down the pain from his leg and lungs. Now was not the time to worry about that when he had to keep these coyote hybrid betas away from him. He didn't belong to either of them and he'd rather die trying than allow these men to sell his pups to who knows. "Leave me alone!"

Izuku tried to sound threatening but his voice was breaking. Tears had gathered in his eyes as he panicked. There were two of them, one of him and he was at a very large disadvantage.

The two of them smirked at each other, getting further apart to get more ground to surround the omega who had his back to the tree. They licked their lips, happy with the distressed pheromones he was releasing as they lunged at the same time. Before Izuku could fully swing at either of them, the betas were kicked in the chest by the two dragons who landed in front of the rabbit.

"Kacchan! Kirishima!" Relief engulfed the rabbit. His mate was here, and alive. Not only that but Kirishima was okay as well. He had been worried about the heavy net he was stuck under as it seemed to be strangling him as well.

"Hi, Mido!" The redhead shouted as he waved over his shoulder, looking back at the men.

"Stay put, Deku. This will be over soon." Katsuki stated, smiling at his found mate as he and the alpha with him stalked towards the two retreating to their horses.

The dragons were shocked to see they were prepared to fight them as they held up swords and shields, meaning they had been warned about the dragon as his mate. That fact caused the blonde to be filled with a wrathful vengeance about the situation, heating his fist enough for flames to arise. As they fought using their dragon ability, they were a little careless with it, setting a nearby tree on fire. Being in a busy and somewhat dry forest, that tree lead to three others burning.

Izuku watched as the flames from the trees grew higher and burned hotter. Smoke and ash reached his nose, taking him right back to nearly sixteen years ago when he had to watch his mother die. His mind was stalled as he backed away from the heat, trying to escape, his heart rate and breathing becoming uncontrollable. Emerald eyes looked up, tears spilling from them as they searched for his mate.

"Kacchan?" His voice was lost in his throat as it felt like it was closing.

Flames overtook his vision as he took another step back. His heel dropped, barely allowing him time to lean forward as he looked back. There was a significant drop-off behind him as this kingdom was practically in the middle section of the mountains.

"Kacchan!" He spoke louder, more of a plea for him to come find him as the fire line in the grass got closer to his bare feet and loosely flowing skirt. Fire, as the rabbit knew best, was not his friend. "Katsuki!"

"Izuku! I'm coming!" The voice came from somewhere and nowhere at the same time. The flames and mix of smoke allowed the horses and four men from before to be completely hidden from him now.

The omega took a step forward, but the weight shift so close to the edge was all the ground needed. Izuku's heart had officially stopped as the ground under him gave out and slid him backward, down the hillside of the mountain. Kidnapping, entrapment, fire, the rabbit knew one or the other was eventually going to get to him and take his life. And yet, here he was, falling instead.

..........I promise I love Izuku.
Sorry for the trauma little green bean.
Last time I put him in danger I swear...until I write something else of course

Chapter Text

Crimson eyes looked around frantically as he heard the panic in his mate's voice. The strong burnt minty scent lingering in the air suddenly got stronger. When he didn't spot him, the prince flew straight up just in time to see the greenette claw at the mountainside as he fell over the side. Quickly Katsuki took off to reach him. Izuku's beautiful eyes were clamped shut as if expecting his fate. It hurt the blonde to see.

Before either of them could blink, the dragon reached his mate, putting a protective arm around his torso and under his knees, lifting him back up into the air. Without opening his eyes still, the rabbit wrapped his arms around the broad shoulders, taking in the scent he missed for over a week now.

Katsuki landed back on the ground as Kirishima was putting out all the fires. Their ability allowed them to summon fire, but it could calm it as well, like now.

"Izuku, baby. Open your eyes. I'm here." The prince knelt on the ground, putting his hurt mate down on the ground. He watched as the rabbit slowly opened his eyes, taking in the fire's being gone, being on the ground again, and finally the eyes of his alive mate. His gaze dropped to the large red scar in the center of the wide chest, gasping at it as he put a small hand over it. Katsuki put his hand over the one touching him, leaning down to put their foreheads together. "It's okay, I'm okay."

"Kacchan," The small omega's voice broke, finally allowing himself to cry over this all. "I thought I lost you."

"I know, I'm sorry. I thought I lost you too." Even the prince had a few tears ready to fall from his eyes while taking in the now normal mint scent of his mate. "I was so worried I wasn't going to find you, Izuku. Don't you ever leave my sight again."

"Never."

They shared a short laugh before closing the gap between them. They pulled the other closer, their lips moving in sync as if they missed each other too. It was a perfect moment of reunion between the two before the adrenaline started to falter. The aching pain in the rabbit's calf from the arrow was there.

"Shit, let's get you to the medic right away. Leave it in, we can be there soon." Katsuki began to panic for his omega as Kirishima jogged up to the two of them as they now stood.

"Kirishima!" Izuku held his hands out to him, letting the redhead hug him carefully. "I was so worried about you. Those nets looked like they were hurting you."

"You were worried about me?"

"Well, and Sero."

The sharp-toothed alpha shook his head, overjoyed to have found his friend again. "I'm so sorry that happened Mido. We should have done more, we should have-"

"Hey, you haven't been beating yourself up over this all week have you?" Rose eyes stared at the ground. "Eijiro!"

"Told you so." Katsuki snorted.

"You and Sero did everything you could have done. They took me, what happened, it was all very well planned. It was a setup since day one and you and no one else could have changed that. I'm grateful to have had you there to try, and I'm so happy to know you'd do something like that. I've always seen you as a protective older brother since day one." Izuku admitted.

Kirishima wiped his eyes, getting emotional at the rabbit's words as he had been worried about this, losing sleep as he replayed what else could have been done over and over in his head. "You're totally my little bro!"

The two of them shared another bear hug, missing the other just as much. The prince, as much as he didn't like seeing his mate being touched or touching someone other than him, kept his mouth shut this one time. He saw the toll it had taken on the redhead as they looked for the rabbit for the last forty-plus hours non-stop. He also saw how worried his mate had been about his good friend. It was a brotherly moment for sure that he was okay stepping out of.

"Now, let's get home." Izuku smiled.

"Yes. You need a doctor right away." The prince stated, looking down at the arrow.

"Yeah, uh, and maybe a midwife as well?" The rabbit squeaked out, confusing the two dragons in front of him.

"A mid-wife? Deku, why the fuck would you need-" The prince stopped talking. Midwives helped with pregnancies. "Izuku, are you trying to tell me you're expecting?"

Kirishima gasped, clapping his hands together in anticipation. His grin widened as they both even stopped breathing to wait for an answer.

"Actually, I'm expecting doubles, Kacchan." The greenette held up two fingers, getting shy. "Rabbits are extremely fertile after all."

"T-twins?" The blonde was at a loss. Kirishima on the other hand, was jumping in the air and twirling around while screaming something about being an uncle. "I'm gonna be a father?"

Izuku paused. He was expecting a shocked reaction from his mate but not a complete shutdown. Crimson eyes stared down at him, wide and unblinking. "Kacchan, are you okay?"

The rabbit was getting increasingly more nervous at the blonde's reaction. He tried to ignore the redhead happily shooting fireballs off the side of the mountain as emerald eyes scanned the once tan and confident face. He waved a hand, only for it to be grabbed as the prince tightly held his omega.

"This is the best news you could ever told me. I'm so glad you're having my pups, Izuku. You're going to be the perfect dam." Hearing those words only had smaller arms tightening around his shoulders. When they pulled back, the smile on his face returned, bigger than the rabbit had ever seen. The blonde moved to join his friend at the ledge, also shooting fireballs into the sky with joy. "I'm gonna be a father!"

"I'm gonna be an uncle!" Kirishima shouted with just as much excitement.

"I'm glad you guys are excited but, arrow in the leg here." The rabbit pointed to his calf.

"Oh fuck, sorry little bunny."

******

Izuku had been out of recovery for a couple of days now. His leg was wrapped and he was instructed to elevate it as much as possible, but then again, nothing was slowing him down. As much as the prince hated it, the greenette had gotten back and the next day started research on pregnancies. More specifically on dragon pregnancies and raising pups. He didn't have his mother here to help guide him through this stuff as much as Mitsuki's bluntness about needing good luck to not have duplicate Katsuki pups running around was helpful.

When his work was finally done, the prince walked into the library to find his mate sitting in one of the larger chairs, reading away, barely noticing he had entered the room. The greenette was mumbling to himself as he read, his finger tapping at the book as he did so. It was cute, and the prince would keep the painting of what he was seeing somewhere he could see it every day.

"Hello, little bunny." He smirked, walking closer to his mate as the freckled face smiled at him.

"Kacchan." He said happily until his expression changed to one like he was about to be scolded. "What time is it?"

"Hours pass when you're supposed to be in bed." The blonde raised a brow, leaning down to kneel between the rabbit's thighs, putting his ear to the belly which had a small bump to it. "You two better be much better about respecting your bedtimes."

Izuku giggled. Something about the once feared and cold prince of the Crimson Kingdom now falling to his knees and talking to his unborn pups was a special scene only the rabbit would ever be able to see. Every morning they were told good morning with a kiss, and every night he told them about his day as prince before wishing them a good night's rest. That and any time the four of them were alone, the blonde had his hand on the omega's stomach. It was a little early for kicking, but he was ready for it when it happened.

"Since they will also be my pups, probably not." The greenette rolled his eyes.

"Shh, don't give them the idea they can get away with it."

Katsuki kept his ear to the omega's stomach, nuzzling it and feeling around his torso to hold him. His head pushed against him as he crooned, happy to have his mate back. His inner alpha was losing his mind without the minty scent near him at all times. Large hands traveled around his omega, feeling his back, his hips, and upper thighs.

The rabbit was fully aware of where his hands were, roaming around and touching him. Based on the alpha's face, he had no idea he was doing it. Katsuki was rubbing himself on his mate, scenting in him the process but also releasing somewhat aroused pheromones. The omega considered pointing it out, but he also didn't want it to stop. He so badly wanted this to continue, missing and needing his mate just as much. When those large hands tucked themselves under the rabbit, cupping his ass, he let out a short happy purr.

Crimson eyes snapped upward, finally taking in what he was doing and his omega's reaction. Smirking now, he kept going, burying his face into the greenette's thighs. "K-Kacchan. W-what are you doing?"

"You smell like us, together. It's like roasted mint and it smells really good." He continued to croon with a wide smirk as his hands kept wandering all over the omega under him. "I missed you."

"I missed you, too." Izuku bit into his bottom lip, his hands reaching forward to run his fingers through blonde spikes.

Calloused hands found the slim waist under him, smiling and tugging at the material. As the rabbit lifts his hips to help slide them off, he blushes madly, unsure where this is going yet. The warm cheeks of the alpha now nuzzled into the bare legs of his mate, taking in his new scent all over again. It was intoxicating and mixed with the omega's arousal pheromones, it was all the alpha needed to want the rabbit more.

The dragon stared up at the slanted emeralds above him as he lowered his head deeper into the thick thighs he admired so much. Katsuki's hands moved under the omega's knees as he pulled them forward, then apart as he pushed himself between them. He didn't break eye contact as he stuck his tongue out, licking his omega's precum-leaking tip. Izuku purred, loving the feeling and the scene below him. Emerald eyes stayed locked on his mate's face as the prince twirled his tongue around the tip before taking in as much of the rabbit's cock as he could.

Izuku let out a sweet moan. Without being touched by his mate in so long, his body was extra sensitive to his touch. More so when a finger came up to play with the slick leaking from his entrance. The omega struggled to not buck his hips forward as the digit circled his hole, spreading it around in a teasing way.

"Kacchan, I want you now."

"Impatient, little bunny?" He smirked, voice thick with sarcasm.

"Yes, I am." Izuku stood with his mate. He removed his shirt, leaving him completely naked in front of the blonde. His body heated as it knew what was about to happen. The rabbit removed his mate's pants, letting them fall before moving him to be seated in the chair now. Teasing his fully hard alpha, Izuku slowly moved to sit on his lap, letting their cocks grind against one another for now. "I needed my alpha all day."

Katsuki crooned, loudly. He removed his shirt so the omega could lean forward and bite on his chest as he liked. His hard and ready dick twitched before being pressed against the slicked entrance. The omega rubbed his ass along the blonde's shaft, coating it as the omega purred at the feeling. "My naughty, little bunny."

The rabbit pressed himself down, rocking his hips to be filled inch by inch until he was fully in. Large hands nearly circled fully around the freckled waist. Izuku let out a gasp as he sat up, only to slam himself back onto the thick cock below. With the help of the alpha, it didn't take them long to find a merciless speed as they weren't just hungry for the other but nearly starved for the other's touch. They needed to feel the other to feel their desire which was overwhelming. At this angle, the alpha was allowed to hit the deepest parts of his mate too, making this feeling that much better for the both of them right away.

"Fuck - Izuku!"

"Kacchan! Kacchan! Like that, please, don't stop!" The omega shouted, his grip on the chair beside the alpha's head leaving his knuckles white. Every time he came down, the blonde would thrust his hips upwards into him, making it harder and deeper. "Don't stop, right there!"

A scarred hand reached down himself, pumping his cock as his mate pounded into his ass at the same time. The double sensation made his head spin. Katsuki loved seeing this as his thumbs moved upwards, playing with the cute little nubs of his mate. This made the rabbit cry out in pleasure, his head knocking back with his jaw open.

Katsuki had his brows knitted, teeth clenched his eyes occasionally fluttered closed from the warm feeling in his stomach building. "Izu - ku. I - ah - my god."

"Me too, me too, oh fuck! Alpha!"

The omega called out before releasing just a few seconds before strong arms were wrapped around his toned torso. The warm liquid filled him up, then slipped out when Katsuki pulled out. The blonde pulled the small omega to his chest, cradling his head as he wrapped his cape around their naked bodies. They caught their breath, holding onto each other as they did so.When he was back, the dragon played with the green curls that ticked on his skin, leaning down to kiss them. "I love you, so, so fucking much."

Smiling wide enough to show off his single dimple, Izuku lifted his face. They shared a sweet moment between the two as the greenette placed his small hand against the blonde's cheek. "I love you, Kacchan, more than anything."

"Good, because now that you are finally mine, my mate, my bride, my love, I don't plan on ever letting you go." The blonde turned his head, kissing the scarred hand, then the omega's lips. They stayed put for a while, enjoying a short cuddle with each other like it was their first time being together.

When they pulled back, the rabbit giggled. "I guess it's a good thing I have nowhere else to be. I'm all yours."

"All mine," Katsuki repeated proudly. His hand slithered along the omega's body, coming to a stop on the small bump where his pups were. "Mine."

Chapter Text

The eyes of the alpha looked to his left, nodding to the one beside him, then to the right to nod at the one crouched over there. Once all three were ready, they moved in closer with careful steps so as not to let their prey hear them coming. They'd been working on capturing this same guy for weeks. Now, this was their chance to finally grab him.

The two beside him moved further around the clearing where their prey sat with his back to them. With them now surrounded, Katsuki held his hand up, motioning to move in. They crept into the clearing, keeping out of sight and unable to be heard, that is, until their prey started to giggle. "Better behave if you want me to make your lunches correctly with the crust cut off."

"Awe~" The twin dragons groaned, admitting defeat before running to their dam's side anyway.

Hitsuki batted his long eyelashes as he picked up a sliced apple. "How do you always hear us coming, mama?"

Izuku smirked, handing a canteen of juice to the other twin, Hanata. "Because, your dam is a rabbit, meaning I can hear better than most. I heard you step on a stick as you surrounded me. . . And I heard you and your father planning it on the walk out here."

"So you're snooping on our conversations, how rude little bunny." Katsuki teased, moving to sit to the side of his mate. He kissed the green curls he loved, then moved to the small four-month-old baby rabbit who was pressed to the dam's chest in a wrap and shared the same green curls. Inko's little cheek was squished against Izuku's chest as she napped. Her closed lids hid her beautiful eyes which were emerald with a slight crimson near the pupils. It was as if her eyes couldn't decide which color to inherit. "How was our stealth today?"

"You got closer today. Good job boys." The greenette smiled at his twins.

The dragons smiled wide, each of them missing a tooth in different spots from roughhousing. They were five and learning how to fight with Aizawa and they liked to use that training to settle sibling disputes. Last night, the alpha had to step in as they fought over the last cake slice, only to offer it to their dam instead.

Already they were both showing signs of becoming strong alphas like their father who they looked like the most. Blonde curls, sharpened canines, and a strong build as they had always been the biggest and strongest of their age. They did share a small amount of freckles like the rabbit. In some strange way, Hitsuki carried crimson eyes like his sire, and Hinata carried his dam's emeralds despite everything else about the two boys being identical. However, it only made them that much more special as the princes of the kingdom.

Their father, the king, stood proud as he helped make his son's sandwiches. They ate and chatted over what type of strategy to try next. As they ate, Inko woke up, babbling and wanting to be part of the conversation now too as she sat in her father's lap, leaning against his stomach for support. She faced out, talking baby gibberish as she chewed on a full-size carrot, her gums gnawing at it without being able to eat it. As she was teething, it felt good on her gums.

"Ahem." Hitsuki wiggled his brows as he looked between his father and brother.

Katsuki was confused, then nodded. He cleared his throat, turning to look at the omega's freckled face as he was sort of cleaning up and eating at the same time. Izuku looked up at his husband, smiling as he knew where this was going. "My precious mate?"

"Yes, my sweet alpha?" The boys rolled their eyes. They knew their parents loved each other more than most couples. Over the years and after asking how the mated pair got some of their scars, it was clear they were there for each other through a lot. It was something the two stubborn and proud boys would never admit out loud but, seeing how much their parents love and care for the other makes them happy.

"May we be excused from the wonderful meal you've put together for us? I did promise the boys a flying lesson."

"Hmm." The rabbit hummed, pressing his lips together as he looked at the very hopeful boys. They pushed their bottom lips out and touched their palms in a pitiful pout while begging. As much as he tried to hold on, Izuku let out a small laugh. "Go on."

"Thank you, Mama!" They shouted, hugging and kissing their dam on the cheek at the same time. The little ones now turned to their sire, grabbing an arm each and trying to yank him upward. The greenette took his daughter back, holding her high above his head as she blew raspberries.

Katsuki paused, leaning down to kiss the rabbit's curls before picking his boys up and over each shoulder. They laughed while trying to fight him but, it was useless against their father who was in his prime.

"Take it easy!"

"I will!" The king laughed back.

"I wasn't talking to you." Izuku tilted his head, knowingly at his boys who got carried away pretty easily.

"Don't worry, mama!"

"We'll play nice!"

"Oi, you think I'm made of glass here?" Katsuki squeezed their torsos tighter, making them groan.

*****

The trail behind the palace was secretive only to the royals. It was covered by trees and allowed a perfectly shaded walkthrough. It was a beautiful path the rabbit enjoyed. The twins had their wooden swords, gifts from their grandmother who for sure was trying to get even with the trouble her son gave her. Inko was back in the wrap but looking up at the sun rays peaking through the tree branches as she grabbed and scratched at her dam's neck until he offered her his finger to hold onto.

Katsuki looked down at his mate, how he admired their pups and the things around them. He put a thick arm around his waist, kissing his temple. "I love you."

"I love you, Kacchan. Thanks for running away with us for the afternoon. I know that taking over as king a couple of months ago has taken its toll on you a bit. You just seemed like you needed a break."

"I did, and this is exactly what I needed." The blonde stated, stopping his omega and holding his chin, kissing him sweetly before being interrupted by cooing. Crimson looked down, raising a brow as he smirked at his daughter. "Really? It's bad enough your brothers hate it when I love on my mate, but now you? Can't catch a break."

Izuku giggled, leaning back up to kiss him again as he covered the baby's eyes.

"Hey!"

"No kissing our Mama!"

The boys were running full speed at the king. Katsuki groaned jokingly before being whacked with a wooden sword. "Oi, I'm unarmed!"

"So?"

"Just makes you an easier take down."

Quick thinking, and wanting something to stop the assault, the blonde rushed to the forest floor, picking up a decently sized stick to use. "He's my mate! I am allowed to touch him."

"You're unworthy!"

"You must be slain!"

Katsuki rolled his eyes as he looked at his laughing mate. "I think I'm done letting Uncle Kirishima tell you boys stories."

"Never surrender boys!" Izuku cheered them on. Even Inko babbled, encouraging whatever her dam was getting loud about.

"Mutiny!" Katsuki shouted with a wide smile on his face as he battled his boys. Izuku could only grin from ear to ear as he watched the love of his life, his perfect mate, be the perfect sire to their pups.

Still smiling, the omega pressed his fingertips gently into the pudgy fair cheeks of his daughter who only giggled at the feeling. "I'm so lucky to be his little bunny."

Thanks for reading❤️❤️

A/N:
I don't know why I always assume they'd have twins, but it'd be so fucking cute!
I also love seeing the fanart of their kids, the mix in their features. So Cute!
