《Mending the Battle Wounds (TodoBakuDeku)》Chapter 26

"Is this where we place bets to see how long it takes them to check the kitchen?" Shoto asked, taking a seat on the counter next to Izuku as Katsuki got to work on cooking.
"Seems kind of pointless." Katsuki said offhandedly.
"Why?" Izuku asked, cocking his head to the side.
"Because they just saw us." Katsuki said, pointing to the living room where Toga was now angrily stomping her way over to them, Dabi in toe and dragging Shigaraki with him.
Twice seemed to have given up, really not caring who Izuku was dating and settled for taking a seat on the couch and having a erratic conversation with Kaminari. The yellow haired boy seemed overly happy about having someone to talk to that could be just as excitable as him and Kirishima was just watching it all with an amused smile on his face.
"Izuku! What the hell?" Toga said angrily as she finally reached the kitchen.
"Yes, we're all going there for a variety of reasons. We've talked about this before Himi." Izuku said, deflecting like he usually did with his sister when it came to arguments like this.
"Not funny." She said, crossing her arms.
"I thought it was quite humorous Izu." Shoto said, resting his chin on the shorter boy's shoulder.
"See? And he doesn't find anything funny." Izuku said with a proud smile.
Katsuki stayed focused on cooking, seeming to not be caring about the conversation. He was actually listening intently, making sure none of the villains tried anything. "That's wrong and you know it. And it wasn't funny, he's just obligated to say that now because you two had a fight." The blond stated like he was giving a report of some sort.
Izuku turned to his duel haired boyfriend. "Is- is that true Shoto?" He asked, faking sniffling for dramatic effect.
"First off, it's not true. I thought it was quite funny. Second, I do believe you're the one making him apology katsudon right now." Shoto pointed out.
"Jeez, you already have 'em whipped, huh?" Shigaraki asked, taking a seat on one of the stools that were placed around the counter.
Unlike his boyfriend and adoptive sister, he didn't see a problem with the relationship. They'd already beaten the crap out of Katsuki, which he took, and Izuku had forgiven him, so he had nothing else to say on the matter. He was just trying to appease his own boyfriend.
"I'm not whipped. Shoto? Yeah, but not me." Katsuki said with a grumble.
"Apology cuddles and katsudon because you joked about him being controlling and he pouted." Shoto reminded. "And hey, look at that, you do know my name." He added as an extra tease.
Katsuki just rolled his eyes with a faint smile he tried to hide.
"I don't like it." Toga mumbled, taking a seat next to Shigaraki. She wanted to observe them to see how they interacted. She might be able to be swayed. Might.
"He's not thirty." Dabi said while crossing his arms and sitting on the other side of Shigaraki.
Shigaraki nudged him with his shoulder. "Neither are we." He pointed out.
"But we're different." Dabi said simply.
"How? You were brothers before you dated and Shoto and I are both your brothers, so you know I'm seeing a lot of parallels." Izuku chimed in. Shoto and him were sitting on the counter while his siblings were at the island, so they were all facing each other while Katsuki cooked.

Dabi and Shigaraki both gagged. "Please, never call us brothers ever again." Shigaraki groaned. They had never really been brothers, obviously, and had never seen each other as such. They just shared siblings, which was kind of weird when they thought about it to hard, so they tended to stay away from the topic.
Izuku nodded in agreement. "Yeah, that was a bit far. Sorry." He said sheepishly.
"Jesus, did he seriously fall asleep?" Katsuki asked, looking at Shoto. He still had his Izuku's shoulder, but his eyes were now closed.
Izuku giggled at the question. "No, he just doesn't want to deal with anyone." He responded.
Katsuki eyed the green haired boy suspiciously. "How'd you know?"
Izuku lifted up his and Shoto's intertwined hands. "When you asked, he squeezed my hand. I just inferred the rest."
"Just because I'm not asleep yet doesn't mean I'm not trying." Shoto spoke up.
"Oh I'm sorry, I'll shut up now." Izuku said with a playful eye roll that Shoto couldn't see.
"Thanks." The duel haired teen responded.
"Ah yes, a healthy relationship if I've ever seen one." Toga said sarcastically from the island.
Izuku shot her a glare. "Dabi and Tomura tell each other to shut up on a daily basis."
"We're different." Dabi said again.
Shigaraki placed his palm over Dabi's mouth, being careful to keep his fingers off. "Stop saying that."
"It's the truth." Dabi's muffled response sounded.
Shigaraki moved his hand, but sent a glare at him and Toga. "Just let him be happy. He's had a shit life for, well most of it. Just let him be happy."
Neither of them could say anything in disagreement without sounding like complete dicks, so they stayed quiet. They were glaring at the island, but they weren't arguing anymore.
"Thank you Tomu, you're my new favorite sibling." Izuku said with a bright smile.
Shigaraki sent him a look. "Imply that I wasn't before?"
Izuku just shrugged in response. "It seems to change daily lately."
"What have I done?" Twice called from the living room.
"Absolutely nothing! You're definitely my all time favorite." Izuku called back.
"Fuck you guys, I'm all time favorite!" "I don't want that title!"
Katsuki turned around and leaned back on the empty counter space behind him. He just had to let the food settle for a few minutes and then it was good to go. "Why does he always where the mask? Even now?" He asked, purely out of curiosity.
"Got a problem with it dandelion?" Toga shot back. She seemed to be looking for any reason to hate the blond even more.
Izuku sent her a heated glare. "He's just asking and it's a perfectly reasonable question." He hissed at her. He calmed down as he turned back to Katsuki. "He made a lot of clones of himself, like a lot. He eventually couldn't tell which was the real him and which were clones, it kind of messed with him. It's why he's always saying contradicting stuff. He wears the mask because without it, he feels like he's forcefully splitting himself apart, like the mask is the only thing holding him together." He explained somberly.
"Damn..." Katsuki said, trying to imagine what that'd feel like.
"Spill all our back stories why don't ya." Toga said quietly.
"Shoto already knows everyone's." Izuku said nonchalantly.
"Of course he does." Dabi said, letting his head hit the counter top in front of him.

"I was really mad and he was trying to calm me down and then I just snapped and started rambling. I didn't mean to, honest. Sorry guys." Izuku admitted, absently reaching his hand behind Shoto and then up to his hair, letting his fingers comb through it.
The 'sleeping' boy softly smiled at the action.
"We're getting you a shock collar, you know the ones that zap the dog every time it barks. I bet we could tweak it for every time you start rambling." Dabi said, resting his chin on his arms as he glared at Izuku.
"Like hell you are." Katsuki said, grabbing bowls out of the cupboard.
Dabi turned his attention to the blond. "Excuse me?"
"Like hell you're putting a shock collar on him. Sure the rambling and mumbling are annoying, but you're overreacting. Besides, Shoto's actually your brother." He said, getting Izuku and Shoto bowls of katsudon.
"Since when do you care?" Dabi shot back.
"Did you really just ask that?" Katsuki asked, stopping in the middle of handing Izuku a bowl. The green haired boy frowned when the bowl stopped just out of his reach. He couldn't even move further to grab it because of Shoto.
Dabi sat up with a shrug. "I'm just saying, it's super fucking weird that you care about him all of a sudden."
Katsuki caught Izuku's frown and moved his arm a little more so the other boy could grab the bowl. His face softened as Izuku's lit up.
"Whatever, I don't have to keep explaining myself to you." He said, turning back to get Shoto's bowl.
Dabi scoffed. "As the older brother and closest thing to a dad he has, yeah you kind of do."
Katsuki froze his movements. He placed the still empty bowl on the counter as he turned to face the older boy. Izuku watched them both carefully as he ate, ready to spring up if anything got physical, but at the same time he was a little happy. Katsuki had finally accepted that Izuku wasn't upset with him and was willing to stand up to the ridicule his siblings were putting him through.
"Yeah, you're right. You are the big brother, of both of them. So do you just pick and choose when you want to act like it?" Katsuki growled at him.
Shoto's eyes opened, as he shifted to look at Katsuki, but kept his head on Izuku's shoulder. "Katsuki," He said in a warning tone.
"No Shoto. He's so adamant about dragging me through hell and back for my past mistakes, so why shouldn't he get the same treatment?" Katsuki asked with a quirked up brow in Dabi's direction.
The stitched teen's jaw clenched. What really pissed him off the most was that he couldn't actually argue with him. If he was gonna berate Katsuki for bully Izuku, he should get the same for abandoning his family.
"Look at him, he's not even fighting it. He knowns I'm right." Katsuki pointed out.
"Seriously, just drop it." Shoto insisted.
"Remember when I told you that you should let him know how much you hate him for what he did? Well now's the time. It's gotta get worse before it gets better." Katsuki said, turning to finish what he was doing before Dabi decided to be a hypocrite.
"Awe you guys have talked about your trauma before? And I wasn't there? And you're both still alive? I'm so proud." Izuku said, wiping a fake tear from his eye.
"You're a sarcastic little shit, ya know that?" Shigaraki said, pointing at him.
"I'm well aware of that Tomu, have you just noticed?"
"No, I picked up on it recently." He joked.
"Here." Katsuki said, handing Shoto a bowl, which the half and half teen gently took.
"Thanks." He mumbled, staring down at it intently.
Katsuki quickly grabbed a bowl for himself and then took a seat on the counter next to Shoto. "There's a lot, so go crazy." He said to the other people in the kitchen.
"Hey idiots!" He called into the living room. Immediately Kaminari and Kirishima turned their attention to him. "Food."
"Oh shit, sweet!" Kaminari said excitedly as he ran to the kitchen. Kirishima followed after him, just as excited.
"Thanks Bakubro." The red head said with a bright smile.
"Didn't make it for you, just had extras." Katsuki grumbled.
Everyone knew he didn't accidently have that much extra when he only intended to make enough for the three of them. He just wouldn't admit that he had thought of the rest of the class while cooking.
"You're sweet, you know that?" Izuku said to him softly. It was hard to see him because Shoto was in between them, so he settled for his looking at his food.
"Whatever nerd." He huffed.
Shigaraki got up from his stool and went over to the stove. "You two can pout like children all you want, but I haven't had homemade katsudon since Izuku's last birthday."
Dabi rolled his eyes, but followed his boyfriend.
"Seriously, none of you have a backbone." Toga complained while she to, got a bowl of food.
"Guys, it's better than Mamagiri's." Izuku said while eating.
"No fucking way." Dabi said while shaking his head.
"Just try it and then try to lie to my face again." Izuku said.
"Holy shit, it's better than Mamagiri's." Shigaraki gasped, having already gotten his food and taken a seat again.
"Who the hell is Mamagiri?" Katsuki asked with his eyebrows scrunched up.
Izuku swallowed what he still had in his mouth before answering. "The one with the warp gate quirk. He kind of raised us and we adopted the name of Mamagiri." He explained.
Katsuki scowled. "I hate that guy." He said quietly while thinking back to his kidnaping.
Izuku gave him a soft look. "He's really not that bad, he was just... he was following orders." He said, knowing that it wouldn't make up for what he had to go through, but that's all any of them ever did. They followed orders.
At the mention of orders, Shigaraki and Dabi shared a look. Shigaraki definitely seemed more panicked, but Dabi was still worried. Izuku shot them a questioning gaze, but he was ignored.
"Okay, so your relationship is cute, yada yada yada, but we really need to talk to Izuku." Shigaraki said abruptly while standing up.
"Tomu," Dabi said lowly.
"Nope, it's happening. C'mon you two." He said, pointing at Izuku and Toga in turn.
Toga was ready to go in seconds. She knew that tone. Shigaraki and Dabi had orders. Izuku recognized it to, but he wasn't so excited. Besides, he was confused as to what the hell they could possibly be doing.
He gently set his bowl down and hopped off the counter. Looking back at his bewildered boyfriends, he placed a small kiss on each of their cheeks. "I'll be back, promise." He said, but something in his voice gave away that he wasn't so sure.
"Huh? Nerd, what the hell do you mean?" Katsuki asked, getting ready to follow after them.
Izuku lightly laughed, trying to play off his nerves. "I'm just saying that they aren't gonna lock me in my room again, so don't worry." He said.
Katsuki suspiciously nodded, but decided to trust him.
"Just be quick or your food will get cold." Shoto said, still eating his own.
Izuku sent them a nod and then followed his siblings as they all gathered on the elevator. When he tried to ask them what it was about then, he was shushed by his blue haired sibling. The dye Izuku had used washed out fairly easily, leaving him with his natural blue hue.
Once they were all back in Toga's dorm, her and Izuku took a seat on her bed and waited for the two older boys to talk. Twice was still downstairs with Kaminari, chatting away, so they both assumed he already knew what was going on.
"What's going on?" Izuku asked them hesitantly.
"We got orders from Kurogiri." Dabi said, leaning back on Toga's wall.
He had used Kurogiri's actual name. He was serious.
"About? We're kind going to hero school now." Izuku said, crossing his arms. He honestly just... he wasn't sure he wanted to be a villain anymore.
"That's the thing. He's breaking us out."

The Voice of the World
Jason Elric used to be an ordinary college student living in the heart of San Francisco. He had a part time job, he played online games with friends he got along moderately well with, and he earned reasonably good grades. The worst he really had to worry about in life was turning in his coursework on time and not being late to class. Now, though? Now fighting for his life and running from a horde of giant frogs that want to make him their next meal is just another Tuesday. Thanks to a summoning ritual gone terribly right, Jason has found himself trapped in a world eerily similar to the role playing games games he used to play for fun. Unfortunately for the now ex-college student, everything happening around him is terrifyingly real and if he wants to survive, he’ll have to figure out how to exploit the system for his benefit before it’s too late. The Voice of the World is the first part of what is planned to be a multi-book, Isekai LitRPG story with crafting elements, set in the fantasy world known as Verdania. This is my first time posting online for public consumption, so bear with me as I work to find a style that people like. While I may occasionally write scenes that may deal with heavy concepts, expect this story to be primarily light hearted high fantasy. There will be a lot of common fantasy tropes involved, as this story got its start as a simple practice exercise, rather than any plan to actually post it. However, it’s grown on me, so I felt it’s worth sharing after all. Thus, if you’re looking for more serious/original/unusual stories, you might want to look elsewhere. For the rest of you, feel free to leave suggestions, as well as to point out grammar and spelling mistakes; I’ll do my best to make edits to correct them. I do my own editing currently, and it’s easy to miss things when you know what’s supposed to be there, so such call outs are highly encouraged. Content TLDR: No harems, probably no romance (unless it makes sense for the story later on) (it did, eventually), definitely no sex (keeping this PG-13 or close to it), limited profanity. Does/Will contain mixes of magic and technology (think Warhammer, Final Fantasy); copious amounts of blue tables; race, gender, and sexual equality concepts; crafting sequences; and (slightly, but not overbearingly) strong protagonists. If you don’t like these things, go elsewhere instead of downvoting people for content instead of writing quality. Update Time currently varies, due to personal injury, but the goal is 1/week on Wednesdays, with a possible smaller chapter on weekends if time/health permits.
