Todoroki was peacefully eating a bowl of soba when a rampant knocking alerted him that someone was at the front door.

"Why, I just want one peaceful bowl of soba. Is that so much to ask for?" Todoroki grumbled to himself as he went to open then door, only to be surprised at the sight of Kirishima, small sparks of red lightning zapping around him.

Though Todoroki was more focused on his face. Determination, rage, exhaustion, and fear were ever present on his face and in his eyes. And Todoroki would be lying if he said that he wasn't at all concerned.

"Kirishima? What's wrong? Why are you here?" Todoroki asked bluntly while Kirishima took in quick and shallow breaths before looking Todoroki in the eyes.

"Where the fuck is Izuku?!" Kirishima practically shouted. Not in the mood to deal with anymore distractions.

"Izuku? Why?" Todoroki asked skeptically, already growing weary of the reason Kirishima was searching so adamantly for the Omega.

"Gods forsaken Todoroki! I don't have the damn time! Just tell me where the fuck he is?!" Kirishima shouted loudly, his Alpha voice breaking through, despite his best efforts to try and reframe from using it.

"Kirishima I'm not telling you anything until you tell me why." Todoroki stated, his own Alphan voice making his tone far more assertive, while Kirishima only growled.

"Fine! I'm near certain that he is my soulmate! And I want to stop him from removing the mate mark until we talk!!" Kirishima shouted as Todoroki went wide eyed

"So, he actually told you?" Todoroki questioned while Kirishima only growled once again.

"Was he never going to-. NO! That's not important! I told you my reason, now tell me where he is!!" Kirishima shouted while Todoroki nodded.

"Fine, he's at Mustafa hospital, there's a specialist that is seeing him today, and essentially removing the mark. The appointment is at 2:15. You have 10 minutes. Todoroki stated while Kirishima nodded towards the dual haired man as he took off once again.

Just as Todoroki had instructed Kirishima made it to the hospital within 5 minutes, after running at inhuman speed across the city. Though not that he could truly care about that.

Once making it inside the hospital Kirishima had to abruptly stop, in order to not run straight into the front lady's counter. "O-Oh! Oh my, Red Riot! How may we help you?" The woman asked sweetly, while Kirishima had to try to regain his breathing, having knocked the wind out of himself with his stop.

"Takami, Izuku Takami. Please I need the room number." Kirishima asked breathlessly, though being sure to keep his voice at a whisper.

"Oh, my apologizes, we're usually not allowed to disclose such information, other than to close relatives." The woman said apologetically while Kirishima only groaned.

"Ma'am please. I'm his mate. Please I need to talk to him" Kirishima begged as the woman gasped quietly, before looking around her for a few moments.

"Yes, sir your room will be room 247, 8th floor." The woman said with a smile as she winked at Kirishima, while the red head could only laugh quietly before giving the woman his own smile of thanks.

"Thank you."

"Of course, now hurry." The two whispered to each other as Kirishima began to sprint down the hallway and to the elevators.

Just as the woman had told him, Kirishima immediately made it to the room, with only 5 minutes to spare. (5 minutes. Let's hope that's all the time I'll need to convince him.) Kirishima thought to himself as he knocked on the door gently.

Though having to force himself to breathe when he met eye to eye with Izuku opening the door. "K-Kiri?! W-What are you doing here?!? H-How did you even know about this!?!?" Izuku hissed quietly as he pulled Kirishima into the room.

"Izuku please just listen to me, 5 minutes, okay?" Kirishima begged while Izuku whined quietly before nodding

"The villains quirk-."

"Kiri! Is that what you really wanted to talk about?! The quirk controlled you, nothing else to it!" Izuku whined loudly while Kirishima only groaned lowly, forcing Izuku to silence himself.

"Izuku, please listen, you didn't read the new report, right? I figured that you hadn't. So just let me explain." Kirishima commanded, though trying to keep his tone gentle and quiet.

Izuku merely nodded as he crossed his arms over his chest and looked back up to the red head. "His quirk causes its victim to lose full control of themselves and become horrendously aggressive. But only the victims mate or soulmate can calm them down. And if that person is unmated, they will do anything to mate with their soulmate, if they know them." Kirishima explained as Izuku went wide eyed.

"W-What are y-you trying to say?" Izuku asked quietly

"Izuku we weren't mated when he hit me with his quirk, and it would only make me want to mate with my soulmate." Kirishima stated as Izuku's jaw fell open slightly, though the younger said nothing.

"Now tell me what does your soulmate mark look like? And where is it at?" Kirishima questioned while Izuku merely began to chew on his bottom lip as he pointed to his lower calf.

"I-It's a white dagger like feather that looks like its made out of rock, along with red lighting around it." Izuku stated in more so of a whisper. While Kirishima could only smile widely at the illustration.

And without a fathom of doubt, Kirishima grabbed his pant leg near his calf and ripped it off with ease. Revealing the exact, white rock like dagger feather that had ripples of red lighting surrounding it.

"It looks like we're soulmates Izuku." Kirishima stated as he had to squeeze his hand tightly to prevent himself from taking Izuku into his arms right then and there.

While Izuku was left in a state of shock as he stared directly at the tattoo like mark, he knew his soulmate mark like the back of his hand, he could most likely draw it with his eyes closed. And yet he still couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"K-Kirishima-."

"See, now you don't need to do any of this! You don't have to, we're soulmates! And you said you didn't want me to miss the chance to be with my soulmate, right? Well, your it Izuku." Kirishima stated excitedly while Izuku could only look down to the ground, unable to meet the Alpha's eyes.

"I-It doesn't change a-anything." Izuku stated quietly, though his tone cold and stern, catching Kirishima completely off guard.

"What?"

"Kirishima, we-. I still need to r-remove the mark. J-Just because w-we're soulmates d-doesn't mean this is o-okay." Izuku stuttered as he forced himself to swallow the lump in his throat, while he refused to raise his head and reveal the tears that were cascading down his cheeks.

Izuku refused to let Kirishima do this to himself, he knew that Kirishima was speaking from his inner Alpha, not himself. He knew that when Kirishima would actually get some sense back to him he wouldn't react like this.

And Izuku had to force himself to not let himself be selfish. He sobbed that morning before he came to the hospital, he could barely move, and any food he dared try to eat just purged itself from his body. He didn't want to remove the mark. It made him feel as though all those nights he spent by himself he wasn't truly alone, It made him feel protected, loved, cared for in a whole different way than he ever has been before. Yet he couldn't allow himself to be selfish.

(I can't do this to him. He didn't want this. He's only saying all of this because he's Kirishima, he probably figured out what would happen after the removal, he's putting my own care over himself. I can't do it to him, it doesn't matter if we're soulmates. I'm not the one he actually loves.) Izuku thought to himself as he forced himself not to cry as he looked back up at Kirishima only to be heart broken at the expression Kirishima had.

The Alpha looked as if he was a puppy who just got kicked and then dumped on the side of a highway. And Izuku nearly broke at the expression. "W-What? Izuku, we're soulmates! You said that you hoped that your soulmate would be a romantic one!" Kirishima shouted, unable to hide the pain he was feeling.

"I said, I hope. I'm not going to force you or anyone for that matter to be in a relationship with me. Much less than be mated to me." Izuku stated coldly as he looked away from the Alpha, knowing that right now he needed to be stern and a little cruel with this, knowing that it was all Kirishima's Alpha speaking, not Kirishima himself. Though Izuku would be lying if he said that his heart wasn't shattering into pieces at the moment.

"Izuku I-."

"Mr. Takami? Who is this?" Kirishima was then interrupted by the doctor walking into the room holding a pair of scrubs for Izuku to change into, while Kirishima and Izuku turned to the doctor, though only for the woman's eyes to widen at the sight of Izuku's tear stained face, and what she only assumed was an angry Alpha. Not immediately recognizing Kirishima as Red Riot.

"You need to leave right now Sir. Mr. Takami does not need any stressors. It could cause the pain from the procedure to worsen." The woman stated coldly as she gently pushed Izuku behind her while standing up to the fellow Alpha in front of her.

Kirishima only growled lowly at the woman's abrasiveness towards him. Not at all in the mood to be told that he should leave his mate, much less that him being there would cause Izuku more pain.

"I will call security! Leave now." The woman commanded, her own growl creeping into her tone.

"W-Wait, m-ma'am it's alright, h-he's a friend, c-can you give us just 5 minutes. P-Please?" Izuku asked gently placing a hand onto the woman's shoulder.

"Of course, sir. Please call me when you are ready." The doctor asked sweetly as she left the room, though not without sending Kirishima a warning glare as Kirishima smirked at her smugly.

"K-Kirishima-." Just as Izuku had started he was quickly picked up by the red head as Kirishima placed him on his hip while Izuku instinctively wrapped his legs around the older males waist, as he wrapped his arms around the Alpha's neck.

"Izuku please. 3 months" Kirishima begged quietly into the youngers ear, while Izuku shivered from the heat.

"3 m-months for what?" Izuku asked skeptically, already starting to berate himself for even allowing Kirishima to stay in the room, knowing he was making it worse for the both of them.

"3 months to allow me to court you. Properly." Kirishima stated while Izuku whined at the statement. Honestly the idea was all to appealing to him, though he couldn't allow Kirishima to do this, not when he couldn't truly want it.

"Izuku, I swear to you right now this is exactly what I want. My Alpha isn't in control I am. If you don't believe me look at my eyes" Kirishima commanded and Izuku's own eyes widened at the fact Kirishima had practically read his mind. Though none the less Izuku looked up at the older male and was met with two crimson orbs, neither of which had blown wide pupils, which showed Izuku that it was in fact Kirishima.

"Y-You don't have to force y-yourself to b-be with me, o-or even pretend. P-Please i-its cruel Kirishima." Izuku muttered as he made the attempt to unwrap his legs from Kirishima's waist, while also pushing on the Alpha's shoulders.

Only to gasp as the wind was briefly knocked out of him as Kirishima pushed him into the wall, trapping him. "K-Kirishima!" Izuku called out, as he tried to catch his breath.

"Stop calling me that." Kirishima commanded, while Izuku looked at him confused.

"W-What?"

"Stop calling me Kirishima, you always call me Eijirou. Or Kiri sometimes. You don't call me Kirishima. I know you better than that." Kirishima commanded as he straightened his back, allowing him to stand at his full height. While Izuku was still pinned against the wall, though thankfully enough for him one of his legs was able to wiggle free, only to barely graze the ground.

"E-Eijirou, I-."

"3 months. 3 month's Izuku, that's all I ask, let me properly court you and show you that I actually want you as my mate. And once the 3 months are up and you still can't stand the idea of being mated with me, then fine. I won't stop you, and we can go back to the way things were before." Kirishima offered while Izuku only whined slightly.

"F-Fine, but you have to swear to me that the second you realize that you love someone else, or you just don't want this anymore. You tell me and you let me get the removal." Izuku bargained while Kirishima growled quietly, though eventually nodding.

"Deal, now go call the doctor and tell her that you changed your mind, and you will contact her again in 3 months about your decision."

"O-Okay, but y-you need to let me down first."
