Chapter XXXVII

Izuku thankfully hadn't sustained any major injuries except for a concussion, a couple of minor gashes and bruises, and a cracked rib, though that didn't stop Kirishima from laying into Izuku about how he wasn't allowed to go out on patrols alone until he was fully healed. To put it simply, Kirishima only became even more over protective.

While Keigo refused to leave his son alone for the first few days, along with Kirishima. The two Alpha grew a fond relationship with each other over the course of those few days, while Izuku enjoyed the company, and found their banter hilarious.

Though despite the calm and gentle behavior they kept around Izuku, when it came to interrogating the villains and Hidoi Shinigami, they showed no mercy. And often requested that all camera's be turned off, along with all of the officers leaving the room.

To say the least Keigo and Kirishima grew close to each other in more than one way.

Though they were not the only ones, Izuku ended up confiding in Kirishima after his father left the room one day, explaining exactly why he was caught so off guard. While Kirishima listened with a patient ear and an open mind, and once Izuku had finished Kirishima quickly reassured Izuku that everything that had been said was a lie and that no one ever did nor ever will blame him for anything.

And finally, after a week or so, Izuku was allowed out of the hospital and back home. Though Kirishima had practically taken just about everything from Izuku's apartment and put it in his house, not exactly fond of the idea of the Omega being alone again.

And despite the many request from Kirishima and the rest of Izuku's friends, and even a bit of a threat from Keigo. The paparazzi still swarmed the outside of the hospital the day Izuku was released. Taking many photo's while reporters tried to ambush him with questions.

Though thankfully Itori had heard of the plan to swarm Izuku once he was released and made sure she was at the top of the crowd so she could easily guide Izuku to Kirishima's car. While Kirishima acted as a brick wall of sorts. Blocking and pushing past as many reporters and photographers he could.

Once Izuku had time to settle and get cleaned up, Denki had ended up calling the two and inviting them over for celebratory drinks, and Izuku, who was honestly going stir-crazy immediately agreed, despite Kirishima's protests that Izuku should stay home a bit longer to allow himself to rest.

Though eventually after a couple of minutes of Kirishima trying, and failing, to deny Izuku's puppy dog eyes, the two headed over to the bar. Though Kirishima insisting that if they go Izuku must either ride in the car, or allow Kirishima to carrying him as they fly.

They ended up flying, seeing as Izuku didn't want to endure a long car ride when Kirishima could get them there faster than any car.

"IZUKU!!!!" Ochako, Jirou, Aoyama, and Denki shouted in excitement when Izuku and Kirishima walked into the bar as they ran forward, tackling the younger in a gentle, yet tight hug.

"Hey guys! What did I miss?"

"Uh you missed us all worrying our asses off over you!!" Denki stated as he jabbed Izuku in his chest, while Ochako and Jirou nodded sternly to him

"You also missed Kirishima puppy guarding you the entire time you were gone. He wouldn't let anyone in the room!" Ochako shouted as she pointed her finger accusingly at Kirishima.

"He literally only let your dad inside. I call bias." Jirou jabbed while Kirishima only looked away with a pout, not exactly happy that he was the target of the Omega's wrath.

"You also missed us figuring out Kirishima was courting you. And you never telling us." Aoyama stated as he placed his hands on his hips while he and the other three looked at Izuku accusingly, only for Izuku to blush a bright red in return.

"W-Well in all fairness we wanted to w-wait until we were officially dating to tell anyone! Just in case it didn't work out. So that way we could all still hang out together without it being weird." Izuku tried to reason while the four gave him the "Bitch please" look.

"I commend you for thinking of your friends comfort Izuku, but I must ask, how long has Kirishima been courting you? And what of your soulmate? I remember you constantly saying that you wanted to meet them before doing anything else with another person?" Iida questioned while Kirishima only gained a smug smile and the Bakusquad and Todoroki only chuckled.

"A-Actually about that. E-Eijirou and I are actually soulmates"

"WHAT?!?" Everyone other than the Bakusquad and Todoroki shouted, as Izuku instinctively clung to Kirishima at the sounds, allowing the Alpha the opportunity to wrap his arms protectively around Izuku.

"Yeah, we found out not too long ago, sorry. We just wanted to make sure things went smoothly before telling everyone." Kirishima explained as the room broke into quiet mummers and a few cheers.

"But how did you guys find out?" Izuku questioned while the Omega's all looked to each other before smiling.

"Well, we all kind of saw the signs, and since we've all been through the courting process, it was just basically like putting a puzzle together." Ochako explained while Izuku nodded.

"Not to mention we all knew too Deku. And Shitty hair has been acting like a puppy on cloud 9 since you agreed to let him court you!!" Bakugou shouted teasingly, while Kirishima stuck his tongue out at his friend.

"Well, I don't know about you guys, but finding out a new soulmate pair and a new courting pair is something we usually celebrate! And this is a double occasion! So, let's get drunk!" Shinsou shouted as everyone in the room cheered.

As the night continued everyone happily drank as they all joked and enjoyed each other's company. And just as Shinsou had announced, practically everyone got drunk.

Though the night eventually ended with Jirou, Izuku, Bakugou, Iida, Ochako, Todoroki, and Shinsou having to drag everyone out of the bar, everyone going back to their cars, or in Shinsou's, Izuku's and Kirishima's case, walking home.

Once reaching Kirishima's house Izuku placed the Alpha in his bed as he then decided it would be a good idea to go home and check on his apartment. Only to be pulled down onto the bed as Kirishima trapped him in a hug.

"Eijirou? I have to go; I'll see you later, okay? I need to go home" Izuku tried as Kirishima only groaned in response. His grip not loosening for even a moment.

"I'm not leaving, am I?"

"No~~"

"Fine, you Alpha's are such big babies"

"You love me~"

"I do."
