****** An Heir ******
by Sisco
Summary
     In a world full of people with quirks, it's frustratingly difficult
     for one Izuku Midoriya who has no quirk. However, evolution took an
     unexpected step to help him, and other teenage boys who were born
     quirkless. His life becomes more challenging than he could expect.
     Izuku is one of the chosen ones who has to bear an heir for the
     former-hero King of the New World, Toshi Yagi. His King is frail, and
     fading fast. Izuku must beat time to bear Toshi a child before he
     passes on.
Notes
     If you didn't get to notice the additional tags, this is an alternate
     universe. And yes, there is underage sexual content. Don't say I
     didn't warn you!!! I do have another story I'm working on, but I
     won't post that until it's done. I hope everyone enjoys this one
     though.
***** Introducing Izuku Midoriya *****
At first, super-humans, and on rare occasion; animals with powers known as
quirks started to appear all over the world.  It started at a small percentage,
but gradually worked it's way up to eighty percent of the world's populace;
making them the norm.  Scientists explained it as a way for the human race to
evolve.  

If someone didn't show any signs of a quirk by the age of four, they were
considered quirkless.  But there were the rare, dormant kind of quirks that
didn't appear until much later in their lives.

For several thousand years, these super-humans risked their own lives by saving
innocent people from villains, or natural catastrophes.  As those years went
by, another evolution occurred for the humans that had no quirks; specifically
the male teenagers.  At the age of fifteen, they were able to bear children.
 And, of course, with this new quirk came new laws.

A man, or woman of thirty, and older, and had a high status in the nation they
lived in were allowed to take a quirkless fifteen year old teen (male, or
female) of their choosing, and impregnate them.  However, if the child born was
to show no signs of having a quirk by the age of four, they would be sold to
market at the age of fifteen, and bought by another person of high status.  In
some countries that permitted it, they would also buy teenage boys with quirks
as well, to avoid passing on their genes.

There are still women of twenty, or older bearing a child for a lord, or duke,
but scientists have proven that a fifteen year old male's body is more likely
to carry an unborn infant to full term with no birth defects.  However, once
they reach the age of twenty, the ability to bear children would become
obsolete.  Most adults seem to have a taboo for young teenagers anyways.

Quirkless fifteen year olds didn't have any choice.  They were taken from their
homes by the city council, and sold like cattle with nothing but their
intimates covering what dignity they had left.  

This is where my story begins.  My name is Izuku Midoriya.  I'm fifteen,
untouched, and scrawny.  I was born on a small island where not very many
people of high status resided.  In fact, I don't even think many people knew of
this small island.  

While I stood here on a hard wood stage, I had high confidence that there was
no way someone of high prestige would want someone like me.  Despite what all
those scientists say, my body is far too weak to carry an infant to full term.
 Maybe the merchant would consider me a loss cause, and give me back to my
mother.  

From my peripheral vision, I can see my mother, and hear her crying for me in
anguish.  "My baby!  My boy!  Please don't take him from me!  He's all I have!"
She repeats herself like a broken record.  I know if she had had it her way,
she would hide me in the cellar of our house until I was twenty, and unable to
bear any children. Ever since I was four, I wished desperately that I had been
born with a quirk.

Beside me stood my childhood friend, Katsuki (Kacchan) Bakugou.  He was being
sold by his parents as well, despite how he had his own quirk.  From what I
understand, his parents had fallen on hard times, and he had willingly allowed
them to sell him to save their family's fortune.  My mother didn't have any
choice in the matter, sadly.

I heard one of the men from the council telling my mother to quiet down.  It
was upsetting the potential buyers, and making me less appealing to them.  If
that was the case, then please, mother, continue with your wailing.  

I can feel the greedy eyes of old men, and women beyond their thirties looking
me over, but then they would move on.  

"Stop trembling like a purse dog, Deku," Katsuki snapped, using my pet name.
 "Not only are you embarrassing yourself, but you're embarrassing me too!"  He
elbowed me hard in the ribs, and I yelped in pain.

"Sorry," I stammered lamely.  I'm trying my best to look as confident as
Kacchan.  But I can't find it in myself.  I just want to go home with my
mother, and spend our days together watching tv, or going shopping like we used
to when I was younger.  I could feel my tears pooling on the edge of my eyelids
from the sweet memories.  There weren't going to be anymore of those with my
mother.

Just then, a thin finger wiped away a tear from my cheek, just as it had
started to fall.  I look up, startled.  It was a tall, lanky man with blond
hair, and deep-set, blue eyes hidden in dark shadow.  He looked just as
surprised as me.

"How much for this boy?"  He asked the seller standing just behind me, and
Kacchan.

Another man with the same color hair, and deep set, blue eyes approached.  He
was bulkier though, and there seemed to be a permanent grin on his face.  This
man seemed familiar.  I know I've seen him before...

"Ah!"  The seller exclaimed eagerly.  "The Yagi Brothers!  I can't believe All
Might, and the King are here!"  

"All Might?"  My eyes widened with realization.  It really was him!  The hero,
and prince of the new world!  Then the lanky man must be the King!  I couldn't
find my words, I couldn't even bow down in respect.  I was totally stunned.  

"Bow down, you dumbass," Kacchan scolded.  He had already bowed without me
noticing.

I awkwardly got to my knees, and bowed my head.  I could feel my body trembling
with anticipation.  The king wanted me.  I didn't think anyone would want me.
 Hell, I didn't even want me.

The merchant fumbled over his words.  "Y-You don't want this boy, Sire.  He's
too skinny, and untouched.  Maybe one of these other boys who have
experience..."

The King frowned with disapproval.  "I don't care if he is untouched.  Tell me
how much he is."

I felt my heart lift at his dominant tone, and the way he stared sternly at the
seller.  

All Might was standing off to the side, observing Kacchan with a careful eye.
 "You're a sturdy boy, aren't you?  You look like you have a quirk."  
Kacchan looked up with a sneer.  "I do, your highness.  It's explosion," he
boasted proudly.  

"Brother, buy this boy for me, please?  He looks like he could withstand my
rough nature."  All Might lifted Kacchan's chin up with two of his thick
fingers, their faces just inches apart.  I could see a blush rise to my
friend's cheeks.  I don't think I've ever seen him so flustered.

"In a moment, Little Brother," the King stated kindly to All Might.  "I want
this young man first."  His long fingers carressed my hair, and gently massaged
my scalp.  I found myself purring at his touch.

My mother had stopped crying at this point.  She was looking at the man
interested in her not-so-appealing son.  I could see she was contemplating this
new predicament.

The tall blond noticed her by this point, and approached her.  "You must be
this boy's mother.  If you allow me to take him, I'll care for him as if he was
my own.  No harm will come to your boy.  He'll be treated like loyalty."

My mother started to sob again.  "Your King Toshi Yagi, right?  I know you
would take care of my son.  I also knew I couldn't stop the council from
selling my baby, but I at least hoped someone like you; kind, and honest would
take him."  Tears spilled down her cheeks heavily as she bowed before him.
 "I'd be more than honored for you to take my son as your own."

Toshi smiled at her.  "Thank you, my lady."  He returned to the merchant, and
without asking again for my price, handed him a heavy bag of ginny.  "Give that
boy's mother more than half, or I'll see to it myself, that you be arrested for
larceny."  

The seller bowed his head repeatedly.  "Of course, My Lord!"  

"Big Brother," All Might interrupted.  "What about this boy that I want?"  

Toshi nodded.  "You know I wouldn't forget about you, Little Brother."  He
handed another bag of ginny to the merchant, and beckoned both Kacchan, and me
to follow him.

I looked back over my should one last time at my mother.  I couldn't help but
cry as she faded away in the distance.

We were led by foot to a hotel a few blocks down from the market.  It was a
very intricate hotel; "The Renaissance Hotel" was labeled big, and bold above
the front entrance.  I stared at it in amazement.  I had always wanted to come
here, just to see what it was like.  But now, I was getting to stay here!

King Toshi must have noticed my expression, because he placed a warm hand on my
shoulder, and gently urged me forward.  "We'll be staying here for the night.
 My brother, and your friend will be staying in a connected room."  As we
stepped through the doorway, a group of servants, and bellhops greeted us with
bowed heads.

"We'll be leaving in the morning for my home," Toshi explained.  "I think
you'll like it there."

A thrill rushed through me.  I would be living with a King and his super hero
brother, All Might.  This was a dream come true!  "I think I'd like it anywhere
as long as you're there."  Did I just say that out loud?

King Toshi chuckled fondly.  "Thank you, my boy.  Your words have touched me."
 He brushed his long fingers across my cheek, causing me to tremble wantonly.

All Might broke my train of thought with his boisterous, but cheerful voice.
 "How about we get the names of these young men."  He ruffled Kacchan's hair,
much to his disapproval, but he didn't retort.

"I-I'm Izuku Midoriya," I stammered.  A hand pulled my chin up, forcing me to
look up into two, intense blue eyes.  
"Izuku.  It's perfect," Toshi murmured, his lips barely brushing over mine.  

My breath quickened, and I stumbled into the blond's chest.  Two arms wrapped
around my body securely, and I suddenly found myself not wanting them to let
go.

I heard my friend introduce himself as well, but it was faint to my ears.  My
head was spinning pleasantly as we were lead up to our rooms.  Kacchan, and All
Might entered another room next to Toshi's.  Toshi, and I entered the other.

"Feel free to take a shower, Izuku," Toshi suggested as he started to remove
his coat, and shirt.  Despite his thin frame, his body was still lightly well
toned.  There was a bruised scar running from the center left of Toshi's
stomach.  It stretched up across his chest, and down below his waistband.

I blushed when he caught me staring.  

"I got this protecting my people from a villain.  I can't fight like I used to
after that day.  I leave it mostly to All Might.  I'm getting too old."  He
chuckled softly.  "Come Izuku, my boy.  Want to take a shower with me?"  

I could feel my whole body light up at the idea.  "N-Naked?  Together?!"  Why
the hell was I embarrassing myself like this?

"Well, that's the whole point of a shower, I believe," King Toshi teased.  He
removed his pants before disappearing into the bathroom.

The only thing I was wearing was a pair of briefs.  It was kind of hard to
believe I walked through my neighborhood without someone pointing, and
snickering.  The sight of someone like me walking with nothing but a pair of
underwear, and beside someone of high prestige was commonplace anymore it
seemed.

My hands started to tremble as I removed my briefs, and followed Toshi into the
shower.

He had me stand in front of him under the warm spray.  My head was pressed
against his chest, and his right arm was wrapped around the lower half of my
frame.  To say I wasn't scared would be a lie.  I didn't know things would be
moving so fast.  

Toshi's warm breath washed over my ear as he spoke to me.  "It's alright,
Izuku.  I won't do anything that you don't want to.  But keep in mind, I will
need an heir in the near future."  A hand trailed down the front of my body to
grasp my growing erection.  

Everything about this man I should have been repulsed by.  His skeleton-like
figure, his sunk in eyes...  It was the most attractive thing in the world to
me.  

I moaned as his hand started to pump my dripping cock.  I watched in
fascination as my prick became red, and thoroughly hard.  My own hands ended up
grasping Toshi's biceps, trying to keep my balance as my legs became weak with
ecstasy.

"Do you want me to stop?"  Toshi asked calmly, and softly.

I shook my head no, not trusting myself to speak.  I wanted something else.  I
needed something... As I threw my head back, a pair of lips pressed against
mine, kissing me intensely.  This was it!  The warmth of his lips, and his
tongue sliding into my mouth, and tasting me.  I was officially blinded by
lust.

Toshi eventually had to press me against the tiled wall to keep me from
falling.  I moaned in disappointment when he pulled away from our kiss.  
"P-Please, don't stop," I implored.  "I want to taste more of you."

He smiled with desire, making my heart leap into my throat.   "There'll be
more, my boy."  He squeezed my erection tighter, and continued to pump it until
I came with a cry.  Toshi brought his hand up to the shower spray, and washed
it free of my seed.

"What about you, King Toshi?  I want to make you feel good too."  I pressed my
hand against his hardened prick.  It was much larger than mine.  The thought of
it sliding in, and our of my body made me shudder with anticipation.  I wanted
to believe I was ready for this.

Toshi pulled my hand away, a patient smile in place.  "It's alright, my boy.
 I'm more worried about you.  I want you to trust me when the time comes for me
to lay with you."  He pressed his other hand against my stomach gently.  "I
also think you're not ready to carry a child.  Your small body needs to be
stronger."

I blushed.  I already knew that, but I was so ready to jump into bed with him,
I didn't care about the consequences.  At least King Toshi was thinking of my
well-being.  He was more than I could have ever wished for in a lover.

He bathed me slowly, pointedly admiring my body, and then washed himself.  I
couldn't tear my eyes away from his chest, and abs.  I wanted to know
everything about him; about the battle from which he received that scar from,
and about his family lineage.  

Toshi looked at me lovingly, and pulled me close.  "Be patient.  You'll make a
wonderful mother for our child.  Until that time comes, though, I'm going to
make sure your body is ready to carry that burden."

The water was turned off, and we dried ourselves off.  I was startled when
Toshi lifted me up in his arms so effortlessly, and placed me in his bed.  He
climbed in beside me, and covered us up with the comforter.

"Our clothes," I started anxiously.

"They'll bring us some in the morning, my boy," he murmured wearily into my
ear.  "Relax, Izuku.  I promised I wouldn't do anything to you until you were
ready."

That wasn't what I was concerned with.  And I made it known to him.  It might
have been a little too bold of a move on my part, but the look of intrigue on
Toshi's face told me I was headed in the right direction.  I was sitting on his
waist, looking down at his scar.  "I want to know more about this," I said as I
tenderly brushed the tip of my fingers across the healed over wound.

I felt his body shudder.  Whether from pleasure, or pain, I couldn't tell.  

"It's... I was hoping to tell you later, but since you're being so daring..."
 Toshi placed his hands over my hips, and stroked my sensitive flesh with his
thumbs.  "My stomach was removed, because of that villain I told you about.  He
ruined my respiratory system.  I can't even carry out my hero duties anymore."
 He sighed solemnly.  "I've lost my quirk.  My brother, All Might is the only
one who has his quirk now."

I felt an overwhelming pain in my chest for the King.  Tears welled up in my
eyes, and I wiped them away hastily.  "I'm so sorry, King Toshi."
He brought a hand up to my cheek, and gently pulled me down for a tender kiss.
 "It's not your fault, Izuku, my boy.  But you know, I believe I made the right
choice in making you my partner."  

I curled up beside Toshi, and started to stroke his chest with my fingers until
I could hear faint snoring coming from him.  I chuckled fondly.  "Already
asleep?  It's still daylight out."  I looked back at the window, seeing the sun
just setting behind the mountains of the island.  It was a gorgeous sunset.

Feeling the wear of this eventful day myself, I shortly fell asleep, my head
resting on Toshi's shoulder.

I couldn't wait until morning.

To Be Continued...
***** The New World *****
King Toshi had loaded Kacchan, and I onto a cruise ship called the Sweet Maria,
headed to the New World. I was unbelievably excited, until I was told by All
Might that Toshi would be retiring to his room for the whole day, but I was
more than welcome to join him if I desired to do so. Not that I wasn't
concerned for my new King, but I wanted to be with my best friend, and the
infamous hero All Might... I would check on him later.
All Might fed us a glorious breakfast in the dining hall of the ship, and then
took us to the swimming pool on the top deck. I was having a fantastic time!
Even Kacchan was grinning ear to ear.
"Izuku," All Might called. "I need a word with you."
I nodded obediently, and approached him after climbing out of the pool. "What
is it, All Might?"
His grin was still in place as he wrapped an arm around my shoulders. "Well,
Izuku. Toshi tells me that your body needs more muscle, and he has chosen me to
help you with this matter." He poked my belly with his other hand, making me
squeak. "And don't worry. When we get back home, I'll put both you, and Katsuki
through a thorough regimen. Friends can't fight alone, right?" He laughed
loudly, before releasing me. "Oh, and before I forget..." His smile suddenly
faded. "Please, go check on him."
I flinched, feeling utterly guilty. I was having so much fun while Toshi was
bedridden on a cruise to his home.  I made my way to Toshi's room, and entered
quietly.  My King was laying on his back on the bed, fast asleep.  He looked
peaceful.  
He must have heard my foot falls on the dense carpet, because his eyes opened,
and he turned his head in my direction. "Izuku, my boy. Why are you here?  You
should be out there with your friend..."
Tears fell down my face at his words. I'm being so selfish. This wasn't all
about me. This was about Toshi, AND me. I should be spending my time with him,
caring for him in his time of need. I shook my head frantically, and crawled
into the bed beside him. "I want to be here with you, King Toshi! You're so
lonely, and I should be more considerate..."
Toshi had cut me off by kissing me. "Enough, my boy. You're kind to think about
me, but I've never been really good on these cruises. I get seasick easily." He
rested his head back on the pillow while stroking my cheek. "If you want to
stay, though, you may. I don't mind the company."
I smiled through my tears, and wiped them away with my arm. I was falling
desperately in love with this man. My heart was always swelling for him. I
curled up within his embrace just to enjoy the gentle touch of his fingers, and
the thin, moist lips all over my face. I eventually fell asleep to his warm
affection.
The next morning, Toshi had made the effort of being with everyone at
breakfast, and with us during the fun activities the crewmen had lined up for
the other passengers.
He wasn't really able to partake in the heavy exercises, but he seemed to enjoy
watching me do them instead.
"This is good for you, Izuku," he would say to me. "You need all the workout
you can get."
Toshi's tone always seemed pleased with my progress, and he always had that
loving smile in place for me. I didn't ever want to see it fade.
Toward the end of the day, King Toshi, and All Might escorted us back to their
rooms. We walked a few feet behind them so they couldn't over hear us talk.
"Has All Might treated you well, Kacchan? You seem to be in better spirits."
Kacchan blushed brightly, and turned his head away, obviously trying to hide it
from me. "Of course he has, Deku!" He whispered venomously. "What makes you
think he hasn't?"
I smiled at him. "That's good, Kacchan. I'm happy for you. Has he...you know?
Laid with you?"
A scary scowl appeared on Kacchan's face, and he lifted a fist as if he was
about to hit me. "That's none of your business! How would you like it if I
asked YOU that?"
"Embarrassed?" I responded sheepishly. "He hasn't though, just so you know."
Kacchan's expression changed from anger to curiosity in a split second. "What?
Why? He's supposed to impregnate you so that he'll have an heir. All Might told
me as much."
I shook my head in response. "He wants my body to be stronger. He thinks I
wouldn't be able to carry his child to full term. So he's having All Might
train me when we reach their home."
"Well, you are pretty scrawny, Deku." Kacchan smirked as he elbowed me
teasingly. "Everyone in our neighborhood thought that."
I flinched at his words. "Thanks for the vote of confidence."
Kacchan suddenly grabbed my hand in a tight, surprisingly reassuring grasp.
"Listen, Deku. I know I seem mean, and bully you all the time, but I care about
you, okay? I'll protect you always, even if that means we'll be abandoned as
soon we reach the New World."
I suddenly saw my best friend in a new light. I smiled broadly, and hugged him.
I didn't care if he returned it, or not. "Thank you, Kacchan."
"Do I need to be concerned about this?" King Toshi asked from behind me. I
yelped as I whirled around to face him. There was that kind, but knowing smile
on his face.
"No!" I exclaimed. "Kacchan just made me a promise, nothing more." I embraced
my King around his waist, and felt warmth envelope me as he returned it.
Toshi pulled me close as we continued to our quarters. I waved goodnight to
Kacchan, and All Might before they disappeared into their own room.
"Izuku," Toshi started softly. "Undress."
"W-What?" I blushed from head to toe. Were we doing this already? I thought he
wanted to wait.
Toshi looked back at me from over his shoulder, and smirked suggestively. "You
smell of sweat, and chlorine. We need to give you a bath."
"Oh," I said slightly disappointed. I removed my swim shorts, and followed
after King Toshi. Instead of heading for the shower, we stepped into the
jacuzzi adjacent to it. I almost felt myself melt into the warm, bubbling
water.
Toshi slipped in behind me, pulling me into his lap. He brought a hand up to my
chin, and lifted my head to reveal my vulnerable throat to him. Moist lips
kissed down the length of it before teeth bit down into my shoulder, causing me
to hiss in pain.
"King T-Toshi," I whimpered pitifully.
His other hand slipped down between my legs, and grasped my hardening prick.
I gasped lustfully, thrusting my hips into his greedy hand. "Toshi!" I
exclaimed, forgetting all about titles at this point.
The former hero's teeth were still digging into my shoulder until I could feel
blood dripping down my chest, and into the water. He pulled back to lick his
red lips. "Izuku, my boy. Remember this, you belong to me, and only me." He
squeezed my erection harder, causing me to tighten my thighs around his hand,
and writhe with ecstasy.
"Y-Yes...Toshi... Always yours." My head laid against his shoulder as he
continued his erotic ministrations on me. I grabbed his thighs on either side
of my body, and started thrusting my hips excitedly, splashing water over the
edge of the jacuzzi. "So close," I pleaded.
"Good boy," he whispered into my ear.
The warmth of his breath against my skin made me lose it. I came hard into the
water, and it kept spilling from the tip of my cock for several minutes. I
almost didn't think it would stop.
When my body finally came down from its high, I felt Toshi move, and unplug the
jacuzzi. "Such a naughty boy," he teased huskily. "Now we need to take a
shower."
I was too tired to protest, and allowed him to lead me into the drizzle.
After we were clean, and dry, we headed back into the bedroom. We both slid
under the sheets, once again naked, and curled around one another. I wish I
could always have days like these with my King.
Two days later, we finally arrived to the New World; King Toshi, and All
Might's home nation. It was gorgeous here. So much greenery that surrounded
colorful buildings, and lakes. I realized this wasn't all to the New World, but
just seeing this small bit took my breath away.
"We live further inland," King Toshi explained. "We'll be taking a train
there."
All Might was already heading down a random street, Kacchan's hand held firmly
within his bigger one. I couldn't help but notice the sheepish blush on
Kacchan's cheeks.
"Let's go, Izuku. We'll buy you, and Katsuki new clothes, and have dinner on
the train." Toshi ran his fingers down my back as he observed the overly simple
t-shirt, and jeans I was already wearing. "You need to dress the part of
royalty, my boy."
I nodded happily. "Thank you, King Toshi."
Toshi chose a green vest, with a cream colored, button up shirt underneath the
vest, green slacks, and a pair of suede, brown shoes. When I gazed at the dress
mirror, it was hard for me to look away. I didn't look like me anymore.
"You're very handsome, Izuku," Toshi praised as he pressed his cheek against
mine, and planted a kiss on my jawline. "Let's go find All Might, and Katsuki."
When we located the two, I was stunned to see my friend in almost the same
outfit as mine, but blood red. And unlike me, he was wearing a red tie.
"What, Deku? Do I look that bad?" Kacchan asked calmly.
"No, Kacchan. You're very handsome." I smiled up at him when he blushed at my
compliment. "It really brings out your red eyes."
Kacchan snorted, and turned away. "Whatever, dumbass."
King Toshi purchased our outfits, and we continued on to the train station.
From there, we boarded a luxurious, passenger train. We all sat in the dinning
cart, awaiting for our meal that Toshi took upon himself to order. In some
cases, I would take offense to someone ordering my food, whether they were
royalty or not. However... I wasn't able to read the menu. It wasn't in any
language I had ever learned when I was in school. Kacchan seemed flustered by
it as well.
When the food arrived, it was a colorful salad, followed by garlic bread-
sticks, and chicken alfredo. It was delicious!
"Did you enjoy that, Izuku, my boy?" Toshi asked, his chin resting on the
bridge of his fingers. "You acted as if you were starving."
I chuckled nervously, and blushed. "I did enjoy it, thank you, King Toshi."
All Might stood from the table, and gently urged Kacchan up as well. "We're
going to locate our passenger car. We'll see you soon."
Toshi nodded agreeably as they left. "Come, Izuku, sit beside me."
I eagerly slipped out from the opposite seat, and slid in next to my King. He
wrapped his arm around my shoulders while gazing out the window at the passing
scenery. I noticed that he hadn't touched much of his meal. There was still
half a bread-stick left, along with most of his alfredo, and salad.
"King Toshi," I started. "Are you not allowed to each much?" I felt him flinch,
and immediately regretted asking him that.
"No, I can't eat as much as I used to. When my stomach was removed at first, I
was able to eat plenty..." He frowned, making me quiver with sympathy. "I've
been getting weaker, so I haven't been wanting to eat much. This is why I need
you, Izuku; to produce me an heir. I don't have long for this world."
I choked softly. "T-Toshi... Why doesn't your brother become king? He'd make a
wonderful king, like you."
Toshi chuckled. "I offered him the role, but he refused. He's a hero, through
and through." He stroked my back tenderly. "Let's go, Izuku. I'm getting
tired."
"Okay," I responded meekly. I helped Toshi from his seat, and allowed him to
lean on me as we headed for the passenger car. We found All Might, and Kacchan
in the middle box, talking animatedly with each other.
Toshi sat between his brother, and the window. He rested his head against the
back of the seat, and dozed off.
I felt an overwhelming pain in my chest, and stomach. Toshi didn't have long to
live! He had traveled so far to find someone to produce him an heir, and he had
chosen me. I almost wished he hadn't picked me. My body was weak, and needed
trained. Who knew how long that as going to be. With each day that passed,
Toshi was closer to his grave.
I hadn't realized I started crying until Kacchan grabbed my hands, and caressed
the back of them of his thumbs. I leaned into his shoulder, and sobbed softly,
trying not to wake the King. "I'm sorry," I whispered brokenly. "I was just
told..." I couldn't finish my sentence, but Kacchan seemed to understand what I
meant, and continued to comfort me.
My mind raced with thoughts of how the King, and I had just met, how I had
fallen in love with him so quickly, and now knowing that my love for him was
going to be short lived. Someone out there was playing a really cruel game with
me.
I moved away from Kacchan to stand, and knelt between Toshi's legs. I wrapped
my arms around his waist, and buried my face into his abdomen. I felt long
fingers dip into my hair, and caress it.
"Izuku," Toshi murmured wearily. "What's the matter?"
When I gazed up at his face, I could see how pale his skin was, and how dim his
blue eyes were. I felt my lips trembling as I desperately tried to hold back my
tears I needed to be strong for this man. I needed to stop being such a cry
baby.
I shook my head in response, and laid my head in his lap. "Nothing, my King. I
just want to be close to you."
Toshi closed his eyes again, and fell silent, except for his shallow breathing.
All Might observed us carefully as his body leaned forward in a taxed manner.
"Time is truly of the essence for my big brother," he muttered. "Izuku, believe
me when I say this. I have never seen him so infatuated with someone as much as
you. When he first saw you, cowering, and weeping on that stage, he was
captivated by you. It was love at first sight. I believe he did make the right
choice with you. You, and your child will be his legacy to our people."
I felt myself soothed by All Might's words. There was a reason why he was the
number one hero of the world. "Thank you, All Might."
"My pleasure," he murmured fondly.
Kacchan slipped in between the King, and All Might so that he could nestle
beside his master, and making the seat unnecessarily crowded. I didn't mind it
though. It gave me the feeling of being cherished, and the warmth only a family
can share. I only ever felt like this with my mother before, and it was
intoxicating. I was lucky to have such a grand family to value me so dearly.
