Izuku looked down blankly at the book in his hands. The sun was setting, the mountains and trees casting large shadows.

"What's on your mind?"

The Omega glanced up as the Prince sat beside him, concern etched into his face. "You've been down all day..."

"I'm sorry..." Izuku sighed and shut his book. He bit his lip. "I... I've been thinking a lot... I just..." Tears began stinging his eyes, so Shoto took his hands. "I don't think I can do this..."

Shoto tilted his head. "Do what?" He pondered, keeping his voice soft.

Izuku gulped. "I can't go with you. I can't expect you to help me raise another Alpha's baby. I can't drag you down like this."

"But you're not." Shoto scooted closer. "I want to do this. I want to raise this baby with you." He squeezed Izuku's hands reassuringly.

The Omega teared up more. "Shoto... I... I can't leave him..."

Shoto searched Izuku's eyes, then sighed. "You can't leave Katsuki..."

The greenette whimpered. "I-I'm so sorry, Sho..."

"Don't apologize, Izuku." The prince leaned forward to place a kiss on the Omega's forehead. "You need whatever is best for you and this baby. If you think going back to him and trying to work things out is best, I will support that." He ran his thumbs over Izuku's knuckles.

"Really..?" Izuku sniffled, lip trembling.

Shoto smiled and wiped away a stray tear. "I love you, Izuku... I want what's best for you. If you aren't happy with me, I won't keep you."

Izuku sobbed softly and nodded, nuzzling into his chest. "Thank you..."

The Alpha hummed and rubbed his back, swaying slowly. "I'll send you off in the morning with two of my men to escort you home safely."

The greenette hummed happily as he situated his temporary nest, finding himself very relaxed with the thought of returning to Katsuki's arms.

However, he began to slow down as thoughts of the baby arose. He placed a hand on his abdomen and sat back. What am I going to do..?

Not a moment later, the smell of smoke and the incoherent shouting of soldiers stole Izuku right out of his thoughts. He got up and peered outside his tent, gasping as he saw it all.

Fire lapping at the trees, Shoto ordering his soldiers with his sword raised, and masked men attacking Shoto's men.

Shoto looked over to Izuku, then bolted across the clearing. "Izuku! Out of the tent!"

Izuku's eyes widened and he scrambled, grabbing his bag just in time. A triumphant howl sounded as a tree slowly collapsed onto the tent he was just in.

The Omega panted, clutching the bag to his chest.

Shoto reached him and hooked an arm around him, pulling hin close. "We need to get you somewhere- ah!" The prince gasped in pain, knee buckling as an arrow pierced through his leg.

"Shoto!" Izuku cried, grasping onto him.

"Ahh, Prince Shoto Todoroki..."

Izuku sobbed, looking up at the blue haired man that approached them. Two people followed behind, one with stunning blue eyes and violent burn scars, the other with blonde hair and a wicked look on her face. "Who-who are you..?"

Shoto growled, ushering Izuku behind himself. "Tomura Shigaraki..."

Shigaraki grinned, spreading his arms out. "How kind of you to introduce me. Now, if you don't mind, I'll kill every single one of you."
