“You idiot, get out of my room!” Shouto flinched slightly at the loud voice and the awful smell of his older alpha brother’s anger filled pheromones behind him. He stopped staring at the poster he’d been gazing at in delight and turned around to see a pair of turquoise eyes glaring at him with disgust from the doorway, as if Shouto were an intruder.
And yes, maybe he was, since he was in someone else’s room, but he wasn’t doing anything bad, he was just admiring the beautiful poster of his favorite hero that his older brother had in his room.
Shouto also had Dynamight merchandise in his room, but that poster was unlike any of his other Dynamight branded merchandise.
It bore the handwritten signature of the hero himself.
“Can’t you listen? I told you to leave!” Shouto heard Touya say again, releasing even more angry pheromones. Shouto furrowed his brow and slowly, reluctantly got up from where he was sitting and began walking towards the door before making his annoying older brother more angry. Shouto might be a bigger alpha than most kids his age, but he was not yet a match for Touya.
“I wasn’t doing anything,” Shouto said with the scowl of an irritated little boy, beginning to release his own alpha pheromones back, completely unaffected by the intimidation.
“That doesn’t give you the right to sneak into my room when I’m not here!” Touya said. Once Shouto left the room, Touya slammed the door shut and stormed off towards the kitchen.
Shouto knew his older brother would probably go and tell on him, as usual, so Shouto headed in the same direction with quick steps.
“Mom! Tell Shouto to stop coming into my room”, was the first thing Shouto heard when he got to the kitchen. There stood his mother, looking calm as she chopped some tomatoes and listened to the teenager’s tantrum.
“I was just looking at his Dynamight poster”, Shouto defended himself, shooting Touya his characteristic icy glare, which wasn’t much of a threat coming from a five year old.
“It’s mine! I don’t want him touching it with his dirty, sticky hands, he’s probably picking his nose”, Touya said mockingly.
“Who picks their nose?”, asked Natsuo as he entered the kitchen.
“Shouto”, said Touya.
“That’s not true, I don’t pick my nose”, Shouto replied defensively.
“Touya, stop teasing your little brother”, said their mother in a calm tone without looking up from the cutting board, already accustomed to the daily fights between the older alpha and the younger alpha.
“But tell him to stop coming into my room!”.
“Shouto, you shouldn’t go into your brother’s room without permission. You have plenty of posters and toys in your own room, don’t you?”, his mother asked.
“He’s jealous that I met Dynamight and that he signed my poster with a special dedication”, he said, making a mocking face at Shouto, who simply shot his brother a irritated look.
Shouto was indeed jealous, and he thought it was unfair that Touya had been able to meet Dynamight while he was limited to seeing him just on TV and in his dreams.
“You only talked to him once, years ago, you fool,” Natsuo said with a little laugh.
“But I met him”, Touya insisted as he grabbed a piece of tomato and threw it at Natsuo.
“Don’t believe everything he says, Shouto, he tends to exaggerate”, said the other older alpha as he ate the piece of tomato that had been thrown at him.
“Don’t worry, Shouto. Just as Touya met him one day, I’m sure you’ll meet him too, and he’ll sign anything you want”, Shouto heard his mother say, which finally reduced the young alpha’s anger and brought back his hope, as he eagerly waited for that moment to arrive.
The last thing he saw was Touya rolling his eyes before Shouto turned around and walked towards the living room, not without first passing by Touya’s room and freezing the door handle.
When he reached the living room, Shouto found his older sister sitting on the couch watching TV. Shouto sat down on the other couch, and she gave him a friendly smile, Shouto just gave her a straight look before speaking.
“Why does Touya know Dynamight? It’s not fair”, Shouto blurted out, catching his sister’s attention.
“Oh, well… That was a while ago, you were much younger when it happened,” Fuyumi began, as Shouto crossed his arms and sank into the couch. “Dynamight was an intern at Dad’s agency, and one day Touya asked to go there, and that’s how he met him.” Upon hearing that, Shouto jumped up in surprise.
“Dad knows Dynamight?!”, It was as if a door full of new revelations had opened for Shouto.
“Yes! Maybe you can ask him if they’re still in touch,” Fuyumi smiled as Shouto looked at her in amazement.
Shouto, who was usually very serious, felt himself trembling with excitement at the new idea his sister had revealed, he couldn’t believe that Dynamight had worked with his father, his father could definitely arrange for him to meet him!
In Shouto’s plans and dreams, he becomes a very strong hero to protect Dynamight, and they become mates, Shouto will definitely be his alpha. Once he met Dynamight, he really wanted to tell him to wait for him, Shouto could feel a slight heat on his face at the thought, and it definitely wasn’t because of his quirk.
He was so lost in his great fantasies that he almost didn’t hear Fuyumi talking to him.
“Oh, look!”, Fuyumi pointed to the news.
And there he was.
Dynamight in all his glory on the big TV screen.
And a huge smile spread across the young alpha’s normally stoic face while his eyes began to sparkle at the sight of his greatest love on TV, the hero’s blond hair gently flowing through the air as the cameras captured him flying through the air with his explosions.
Shouto was unable to take his eyes off the screen, he could only focus on the beauty of his favorite hero as he leaned further and further over the edge of where he was sitting.
As if getting closer to the TV would bring him closer to his favorite hero.
Shouto jumped up from his seat and ran to the front door when he heard the door unlocking, eagerly awaiting his father’s arrival, which seemed to surprise him, since it is usually Fuyumi or Touya who greet him when he comes home, not Shouto, who is usually glued to the TV waiting for Dynamight to appear.
“You know Dynamight,” Shouto said in his monotone voice, as if it were an absolute truth. “Can you ask him to come over some day?”, Shouto asked, looking at his father’s confused face with expectant eyes.
“What… so suddenly?”, His father seemed to think for a few seconds as he hung his coat on the coat rack. “Shouto, you have to understand that Katsu… Dynamight is too busy to… come to our house,” was the older alpha’s reply, but it wasn’t the answer Shouto wanted.
“But I really need to meet him,” Shouto insisted. “I need to tell him something very important,” he added with a serious expression unusual for a young child.
“What do you need to tell him?”, his father asked, raising an eyebrow. “Do you want him to sign one of your toys? Maybe I can ask him if I happen to see him on patrol and bring it back to you”.
“No, I want to ask him myself”, Shouto said, narrowing his eyes. “Only me”.
“Well… if that’s the case and it’s really important, isn’t there some way we can make it happen?”, Shouto turned and saw his mother approaching them, then resting her head on his father’s shoulder.
His father seemed to think for a moment. “Look... Tomorrow’s my day off. We can go to an ice cream shop near where Dynamight patrols. I can’t guarantee we’ll see him, but the chances are good”, he offered.
“That sounds like a great deal, an ice cream would be perfect in this weather”, Shouto heard his mother say, but he wasn’t paying attention anymore.
It was just a possibility, but for Shouto, it was a given that he would meet Dynamight the next day. “I need to find my cap so he can sign it!”, he said before running off to his room, he had to get ready.
The next day took an eternity to arrive for Shouto. He’d been so excited the day before that he’d paid no mind to his older brother’s teasing and had barely slept, but finally, the most important moment of his life had arrived.
There in the nice ice cream shop, the whole family was enjoying their orders, except for Shouto, who had his serious gaze fixed on the shop’s large window, waiting for the moment that a head of blonde hair would pass by, any moment now, Shouto was ready.
“You can eat your ice cream while you look out the window”, he heard his mother say gently.
“I don’t want to get distracted”, Shouto replied as he brought a small spoonful of his ice cream to his mouth. He didn’t have to worry about it melting like his father and Touya, he could keep his ice cream cold with his right hand.
“If he doesn’t eat it, I can eat it”, he heard Touya say as he leaned over the table to see what flavor his ice cream was before making a face of disgust. “It’s chocolate mint, yuck!”, but he quickly changed his expression when he saw his father’s ice cream and stole a little with his spoon, only to make a face of disgust again. “I can’t believe you like coffee ice cream, Dad!”
Shouto smiled at the exchange, watching his alpha brother’s disgusted expression.
It was at that moment that a soft, fluffy head of blond hair peeking out from under a cap passed in front of the window. He wasn’t wearing his hero uniform, but Shouto was sure it was him.
Dynamight.
And everything happened as if in slow motion.
Shouto pointed him out in the middle of his family’s conversation before announcing, “It’s Dynamight!”, and leaping up from his chair to dash through the doors of the ice cream shop and run after the tall, graceful figure who was walking down the street.
Shouto ignored the voice telling him to wait a moment and ran as fast as he could until he collided with the beautiful blond man who was walking, wrapping his arms around his waist and holding him tight.
“It’s you!” Shouto said in a voice brimming with excitement, like that of a little kid, as he felt the figure he was hugging shudder and quickly look down, giving Shouto a beautifully confused look. “Dynamight!”, Shouto exclaimed with a big smile.
And it was only after seeing the blond’s confused expression change to one of realization and finally a beautiful smile that Shouto’s heart began to race even faster.
Shouto was captivated by the beautiful omega who was looking back at him with gorgeous red eyes.
“How’s it going, kid? You’ve got a good eye to recognize me even without the costume”, Shouto heard Dynamight say in a playful tone, as he felt a hand gently stroking his two toned hair.
“I could never mistake you for anyone else!”.
It was at that moment that Shouto buried his face in the hero’s hip and couldn’t help but inhale his delicious caramel scent, and so the alpha found himself unable to resist releasing his own fresh pheromones and began marking the omega in front of him with his own scent as he rubbed against him.
“Well, kid, what are you doing out on the street all alone? Where are your parents?”, asked the blond, looking in the direction from which Shouto had come running.
It was at that moment that Shouto heard quick footsteps approaching from the direction he’d come from, he turned his head slightly without letting go of the omega and saw his siblings approaching, with his mother walking calmly behind them.
“Hey, Dynamight, it’s me!”, he heard Touya say, who had already caught up to them, in an excited voice, which made Shouto frown.
Shouto turned his gaze toward the blond omega, only to see understanding reflected on his face. “Endeavor's brat”, he said in a teasing voice before raising his fist in a greeting, and Touya bumped it with his own. “You’ve grown, kid.”
“And just wait until you see all the new moves I’ve learned!”, said Touya, lighting a small flame in his palm before smashing it out with his fist.
“I can do that too!”, exclaimed Shouto, regaining Dynamight’s attention.
“Is that so? You’ll have to show me someday”, Dynamight told him, which only made Shouto’s eyes shine even brighter as he buried his face in the hero’s hip once more.
“Your flames are still smaller than mine!”, said the other alpha.
“Oh, Katsuki, it’s been a while. I’m so sorry the boys ambushed you like this”, his mother said with a smile as she approached them.
“I see y’all are enjoying a family outing”, the blond man said, widening his eyes slightly at the sight of the four children gathered around him.
“Well, the kids were really excited to see if they could spot you during a patrol”, his mother said with a chuckle. “They’re huge fans of yours.”
Shouto looked up at the blond man again, “It’s true! I always love seeing you on TV!”
“You’re so cool!”, he heard Natsuo say.
“Can we take a picture?”, his sister asked, with a slight blush on her cheeks.
“First you have to sign my cap”, Shouto said before turning to look at his mother.
“Leave Dynamight alone, Shouto, he’s probably thinking you’re a weirdo!
Shouto completely ignored his older brother and quickly held out one of his hands. “My cap, Mom”, his mother took the cap and a marker from where she’d been keeping them and handed them to him. Shouto gladly took them and held them out to the blond with a huge smile and eager eyes.
Dynamight took both with a smirk. “I see you came prepared”, he said as he began to sign the white cap with the Dynamight logo. “With special dedication to... Shouto?”, and Shouto’s eyes sparkled as he nodded, feeling a nice warmth on his chubby cheeks.
By the time his father, who had stayed behind, arrived, Dynamight had already signed the cap Shouto was already wearing, his and his brothers’ shirts, and his sister’s diary.
“How’s it going, old man? Are you getting slower?”, said the blond omega as soon as he spotted the alpha man, making his mother chuckle slightly, as did Shouto and his siblings.
“Katsuki…”, his father began in a tired voice, “It’s good to see you again. You’ve been doing well, considering you just opened your own agency not long ago”.
“Well, that’s because I’m awesome and I’ll be number one pretty soon, am I wrong?”, he replied, turning with a smirk toward Shouto, who was still clutching Dynamight’s shirt tightly with one hand.
“You’re the best!”, Shouto said immediately, the omega laughed at his father’s disappointed expression in the face to such betrayal.
“Your brats definitely know what they’re talking about”.
“Dad! Take a picture of us!”, Fuyumi said, and everyone began to get into position while their father pulled out his phone to take the photo.
Shouto wrapped his arms around Dynamight’s left hip while his sister stood next to him making the peace sign, while his brothers stood on Dynamight’s right side, they all smiled at the same time as their father took the photo.
“Well, it’s time to say goodbye, it’s getting late”, his father began as he started calling their driver.
A couple of boos were heard from Shouto and his siblings, as they still wanted to spend more time with the hero.
Shouto, who was still clinging to the hero, turned to look at him with sparkling eyes, “Can’t you come with us?”.
“Sorry, kid. Still have work to do, and I don’t think I could stand your dad for so long again”, he replied with a little laugh.
Shouto felt a little sad at that, he really didn’t want to leave yet.
It was at that moment that he remembered what he had in his pocket. He briefly let go of the blond man before pulling out a sheet of paper that had been meticulously folded and held it out in front of Dynamight so he could see the drawing Shouto had made with so much love and dedication.
“Look! I made this especially for you!”, Shouto said as he proudly showed off his work, it was at that moment that Dynamight leaned down a little to get on his level and looked at the drawing.
The drawing consisted of a figure with spiky blond hair wearing a white dress and another, bigger figure dressed in black with red and white lines resembling Shouto’s hair. Above both figures was written:
“Mates forever”.
In handwriting worthy of a five year old.
“Are those supposed to be us?”, asked the blond omega as he continued to look at the drawing, holding it in his hands.
“Yes! I’ll become a strong and great hero to protect you, and we’ll be together”, Shouto puffed out his chest with pride as he said that and began to release pheromones from the excitement. “There we are at our wedding”, he said, pointing to the drawing.
Dynamight laughed and gently brushed Shouto's head. “You really do have a vivid imagination, kid, but that’s fine. I’ll be waiting to see if you keep your promise to become strong and big, let’s see if you can at least outgrow me.”
Shouto chuckled as he stretched out his arms and wrapped them around Dynamight’s neck, taking advantage of the fact that they were at the same level. “I’ll be big enough to carry you in my arms, I promise!”, he said as he rubbed his scent gland against Dynamight, leaving his scent on him, it was something he found impossible to resist.
Dynamight gently patted his back. “Prove to me that you can catch up to me then, kid”
It was at that moment that a vehicle's horn blared, and the bubble the little alpha had been in popped.
“Come on, kids, it’s time to go”, his mother said softly. “It’s always a pleasure to see you, Katsuki. Thank you for spending time with us”, his mother said with a smile.
“It’s nothing. It’s no pleasure seeing the old man, but it’s nice to see you, and the brats aren’t that annoying”, the omega replied with a smirk as he gave Shouto a few more pats on the back. “Come on, kid, they’re waiting for you”.
“I really don’t want to let you go…”, Shouto said in a very quiet voice, his eyes starting to sting as he clung tighter to the blond, just the thought of letting go made him feel a sense of emptiness.
“Hey, easy, don’t act like we’ll never see each other again”, said Dynamight, pulling back slightly from his tight embrace and wiping away a tiny tear that had barely formed and was beginning to roll down the child flushed cheek. “You’re going to become a strong hero, aren’t you? You said you’d even protect me, didn’t you?”
Shouto nodded slowly in agreement. “Will you wait for me?”, the boy asked in a low voice.
“Only if you don’t take too long”, the omega replied, touching the tip of his nose and making the child smile, “but right now you have to go home with your family, okay?”, Shouto nodded as he saw the omega’s beautiful smile.
Dynamight took his small, cold hand in his own, which was soft and warm, and walked him to the vehicle where he got in with his family.
“You’re such a baby”, Touya said before a large hand gave him a light smack on the forehead.
“Keep improving your skills, you little brat”, Dynamight said as Touya rubbed his forehead and Shouto smiled slightly. “Goodbye, little ones. Thanks for your support and all that stuff heroes say”, he finished, waving goodbye to everyone.
Shouto also waved goodbye, just like his siblings and his mother, and kept watching the blond omega through the window until he became a speck that disappeared, just like the sparkle in his eyes, as the car drove towards his home.
Shouto felt a void inside him from the goodbyes as he looked at his white cap, now adorned with a beautiful signing, but that only gave him more determination to keep his word.
He was really going to catch up to Dynamight and make him his.
“Your ice cream melted”, his father said as he took it out of a bag and handed it to him.
“Oh”.
