Chapter Text

…He was gone again.

Izuku wasn’t even sure if he had ever come back the day prior, if not for the plate of food he woke up to on his bedside.

He had opened his eyes that morning to an empty house, quiet and still. The only sounds being the sound of it settling.

It was still early, not even noon. He had a lot of time before the man would be back.

…

He stared at the front door.

…

Surely, it was locked, right?

…

His hand reached for the door knob. Slowly, carefully twisting the handle.

It opened.

…

It was a trap.

It had to be.

Otherwise, why didn’t he try this the first time the man left the house?

Izuku stared at the doorknob, at the crack of light shining through the door. At the hint of freedom.

He pulled the door open slowly. There was a screen door behind it. Just a normal screen door…and he half expected there to be just an empty void, or even cement.

Outside the screen door was what he had seen every time he looked out a window. Trees. Lots and lots of trees.

His hand shook as it grasped the handle of the screen door. It took some effort, but he opened it, just as carefully as he did the initial door.

A rush of cool air hit him in the face. The smell of the outdoors, grass, flowers and trees.

Slowly, tentatively, he took one foot and placed it outside. When his leg wasn’t cut off at the knee, he took his other foot and also placed it outside. 

Now he was standing outside of the house. With his hand still on the screen door, holding it open. 

His eyes looked back and forth. Nothing but trees. He was in a forest by the looks of it.

The screen door shut with a slam and Izuku winced. Tensed up as if All for One was going to swoop down from the heavens and smite him right there.

He looked up at the cloudy sky and saw nothing, no sign of him. 

He took a breath and started walking a few steps forward. The grass crunching under his bare feet, wet and mushy.

Out of curiosity, he turned around and looked at where he had been held captive for the past weeks.

…It was just a normal house.

It looked like it had been uprooted and dropped in the middle of the forest. Foundations and all.

He stood there just staring at it, blinking. Then he turned around and took off quickly into the woods.

He ran as fast as he could, dodging trees and ignoring the rocks and branches that cut into his feet. Not knowing where he was headed.

He ran and ran until he couldn’t see the house anymore. Just trees and foliage everywhere he looked.

He just needed to get away. As far away as he possibly could.

He didn't notice the fog that slowly enveloped the woods until he was in the thick of it. His senses heightened out of fear, he could have sworn he saw something move over the trees.

Suddenly he smelled smoke. First, he panicked, thinking the fog that rolled over him was from a forest fire. But then he smelled…

…Popcorn?

Izuku tentatively followed the scent. There in the distance, between the trees he saw the flickering light of a campfire. As he moved closer he saw a tent and…a person.

There was a person here camping!

Izuku felt a flood of hope overfill his body.

“Um, hello?” He called out, trying to make his voice and body language as unthreatening as possible.

The person—the woman, snapped her head up in his direction. Her eyes wide before she blinked a few hundred times.

“Oh!” She exclaimed. “I d-didn't think anyone else would be out here!”

“I didn't either,” Izuku answered honestly. “Um, do you-can you…help me?” He asked.

“Help you? What are you lost or something?” She asked, eyeing him suspiciously.

Izuku pieced together there that she must think his apparel was odd. Really, why wouldn't she?

He was practically wearing pajamas, barefoot, while she was wearing gear fit for camping in the woods far from civilization.

“Y-yes, please, I need help. I'm—”

SNAP!

Grrrrrroooowl

Both Izuku and the woman froze at the sudden alarming sound.

Izuku whirled around and saw nothing but brush and trees. That was…until he saw the eyes.

Golden, glowing eyes stared him down from the tall undergrowth. What else he saw besides the eyes was pure black.

One word filled his mind at the sight.

Nomu.

Chapter Text

He didn't have any time to react. It jumped from the brush, revealing its monstrous canine body and knocked him over onto his side. All he heard next was screaming.

Horrible, horrible screaming, the sound of the monster snarling and clothing being ripped to shreds.

Izuku stayed on the ground, frozen. He knew immediately what was happening and knew that he couldn't do anything to stop it.

The screaming stopped soon after a sickening crunch and Izuku curled up further into himself as he heard heavy paw pads making their way towards him.

Hot breath washed over his cheek and he was nudged by a hard, cold snout. The nomu made a guttural sound and nudged him again. Smearing something sticky and wet over his skin.

It was blood, he knew it was.

Izuku wasn't certain if the nomu was trying to check if he was alive so it could eat him, or strangely trying to urge him to get up. It might have been the latter, because after a few more moments, it grabbed onto the back of his shirt with its maw and dragged him up by it.

Izuku watched petrified, as his arms and legs dangled over the ground. The monster decided not to put him down and instead carried him like a pup back the way Izuku came.

The fog grew thicker the further they went. Izuku struggled and kicked, trying to break free.

There was something weird about the fog, however. Something…oddly familiar about it made Izuku pause in his efforts. The color, the scent, the way it felt.

It was—

“Well, well, well…”

Every muscle in Izuku's body tensed up at the sound of that voice. 

“What do we have here, hm?”

Izuku whipped his head up to see a large dark shape descending through the trees, where the fog grew the thickest.

All for One.

The man landed gracefully on the grass and looked down at him with a patient smile.

“Taking the dog for a walk, Izuku? How kind of you,” he teased.

Izuku felt his blood freeze in his veins.

“You—” Izuku stuttered out. Rage seeping into his mind like a poison. “You, bastard! She didn't need to die! She didn't do anything wrong!” He screamed at the awful man.

“Oh, are you talking about that woman who was camping a little ways that way?” All for One responded in a casual manner. “I'm not the one who killed her, Izuku. That was the handiwork of my sweet little nomu. Or rather… yours.”

“...What?” Izuku croaked. Anger and fear mixed in his mind at what the man was about to imply. Knowing that somewhere deep down he was going to believe it.

“Yes, if you hadn't gone off on your little adventure. None of that would have happened. She would still be alive…” the man trailed off, tipping his head then to fix Izuku with a disappointed stare. “And I wouldn't have to punish you.”

Izuku felt his stomach drop at those words. 

“Really, Izuku. I thought you were smarter than this,” All for One shook his head sternly. “Drop,” he commanded the nomu.

Izuku only had a half a second before he hit the ground.

“Good boy,” All for One praised the monstrous creature.

Izuku heard a rustle of clothes and felt a shadow loom over him, when he looked up he saw All for One kneeling down and petting the nomu on the head. Scratching its exposed brain like one would a dog.

Then that same hand came down and pressed down on Izuku's head. Giving it a light, almost affectionate ruffle, before seizing his hair in a tight fist.

Izuku grunted in pain as he was lifted up by the hair.

“Stand up,” the man ordered him, much like he ordered the nomu. “Use those legs. I haven't chopped them off yet.”

Izuku's feet shakily got underneath him at the sound of that threat. It was only then that the older man let go of his painful grip on his hair.

“Good,” All for One smiled. “Good boy,” he patted Izuku's abused scalp.

Izuku cringed at the praise and had half a mind to let his legs crumple underneath him in spite.

“Now,” the man clapped his hands together. “Are you going to walk home with me like a big boy, or will I have to carry you like a little one?”

Izuku looked down at the grass covering his bare feet. Pride made him want to walk himself, anger made him want to force the man to carry him.

…But on the other hand he would probably enjoy that.

“How about you let me go instead?” Izuku mumbled before he could stop himself.

All for One didn't laugh however, like he expected him to. No, instead his smile grew dangerously tight.

“Little one, it is,” All for One decided.

Then without another word he reached for Izuku and Izuku stumbled back. All for One gave him one look and suddenly something shot out of his hand.

It was black and wavy and—

It was blackwhip.

Izuku recognized it almost instantaneously.

It curled around his body like a snake and tightened. Lifting him up off the ground and high into the air, until he was dropped into the man’s awaiting arms.

“What—” Izuku sputtered. “How do you—”

All for One smiled at him, grin still a little too tight.

“I took them,” he answered, simply.

“How!?” Izuku yelled. “That should be impossible!”

Right?

“Haven’t you noticed how weak One for All has gotten? Didn’t you ever wonder the reason why?” All for One asked him like he was talking to an idiotic child. “I reached into my brother’s quirk and I plucked out each and every vestige until there was none left, save for my brother in that sweet little head of yours.”

Izuku stared with wide eyes at the man as he explained what horrible thing he had done.

“With each ghost of my past enemies, came their quirk. Now I have seven new toys to play with and enjoy,” the man grinned, sharply. Content with himself and the events that have unfolded. “I really should be thanking you, Izuku.”

Then he pulled Izuku closer to his face and whispered, “but that can wait until later, hm? Afterall, you’ve been such a naughty boy, it wouldn’t do to reward you now.”

Izuku glared as much as he could at the man, causing him to tsk.

“There’s that fire…Do you have any idea how badly you could have gotten hurt running away like that? Useless as you are now…especially with such poor visibility.”

Smokescreen. That was what the fog had been, it was En’s quirk. He could see it now, the way it rolled off of the man’s body in waves.

When he was flying earlier…had that been float?

Izuku’s glare increased tenfold, he ground his teeth together in rage.

“You’re a horrible person,” he spat out.

All for One barked a laugh that time.

“Are you done?” The man teased. “That was rather tame, all things considered.”

When Izuku said nothing else, the man chuckled again and turned on his heel.

“Come,” he ordered the nomu and began walking through the forest, back in the direction of the house.

Izuku saw all the things he had seen before as he ran. A fallen tree, a small creak, a patch of mushrooms. He didn’t even have to look at the house to know they had arrived.

All for One opened the door and stepped inside, carrying Izuku across the threshold like a mock imitation of a husband and bride. Izuku noticed the nomu followed. It sat down once inside the house and the door was shut.

Just like that…

He was back. 

Chapter Text

“Put me down,” Izuku growled out.

“Hm? Oh,” All for One hummed and considered his request for a moment or two. “No, I don't think I will.”

“Please, put me down?” Izuku tried again. This time he tried not to sound so angry, asking instead of demanding.

“No, Izuku. I still need to punish you. I can’t have you running off, now can I?” The man chided him.

“You really don’t need to, I’m sorry,” Izuku blurted quickly. Anything to get himself out of this nightmare.

“Oh, it’s too late for that, little one.”

“Don’t call me that!” Izuku snapped suddenly, when the rage built up inside too much.

“Ah, you were doing so well for a moment there. Where did that meekness go?”

“Shut up!” He screamed and thrashed in the man’s arms. “You just want to use me and then throw me away, just like everyone else in your life! So why don’t you just do it already! ”

All for One’s lip twitched.

“Are you speaking about Tomura again?” He asked in a low tone.

“No, not just him. Not just Tenko. Everyone.”

“My brother?” The man read between the lines.

Izuku didn’t respond, but he thought so. He knew so.

All for One evidently, did not.

“I did not throw him away, Izuku. I provided for him,” the man corrected. “Just as I am doing for you.”

Izuku scoffed and rolled his head away in disgust.

“...Or would you rather be dead.”

Right as Izuku opened his mouth a large hand gripped him by the jaw and forced him to look back at the man.

“Answer carefully,” All for One spoke dangerously slow. His face was frightening, eyes wide and staring unblinking at him.

“N-no,” Izuku bit out.

That terrifying expression immediately wiped off the man’s face like it wasn’t even there.

“Good,” he smiled.

Then he leaned in and pressed a deep, smothering kiss to Izuku’s mouth.

With that, he walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. Izuku still in his arms, he turned the boy around and laid him flat over his thighs.

“What are you doing?!” Izuku shouted.

“Oh, I just think you need a little reminder, who's in charge here,” the man replied.

SMACK!

Izuku jumped at the hit on his bottom. He yelped in pain and immediately started to struggle.

“NO! LET ME GO, YOU BASTARD!” He screamed when the man held him down. “STOP!”

He heard All for One chuckle and then there were a few more heavy handed blows to his ass. Izuku cried out in pain and anger, reaching his left arm out to jam his elbow into the man's side as many times as he could—but he didn't budge.

SMACK! 

SMACK!

SMACK!

SMACK!

“Augh! Ow! Stop!” Izuku hollered.

All for One ignored him and continued to rain down slap after slap. Each one was hard and heavy, they pushed Izuku forward across the man's lap with their force alone, only for him to be yanked back by those same hands.

Tears stung Izuku's eyes as he grit his teeth and clenched his fists.

“Naughty boy, I knew you would try something like this…” All for One scolded. “That's why I kept an eye on you, even while I was gone.”

Izuku's brain went reeling from that information.

The door had been unlocked, surely—

 …No.

It had been a trap afterall.

The man had kept the door unlocked on purpose and waited, bided his time until he trespassed and earned his punishment.

“Is this all just a sick game to you?!” Izuku blurted out.

“Maybe it is,” All for One put it, simply. “The question is; what are you going to do about it?”

His hand didn't pause for a second as it beat Izuku without mercy.

“Nothing, is what you will do. You useless, good for nothing, waste of space,” All for One hissed at him, and it almost sounded like it was right in his ear.

That did it.

Izuku started crying openly after that. He heaved out breaths and clawed at the sofa, kicking his legs at each painful strike.

It only got worse however, when the man slipped his hand in the back of his trousers and pulled them down. His bare, tender ass was exposed to the air and the heavy palm of the man.

Izuku screamed and cried as his punishment continued. His pride was in tatters and all he wanted was for it to finally end.

“I'm sorry! I'M SORRY!” Izuku sobbed.

“What do you say?” All for One prompted the boy. It was an age old question by now between them. Izuku knew in a heartbeat what he meant by it.

“Papa, I'm sorry! Please, I'm sorry, Papa!” Izuku gave it to the man without so much of a fight.

Finally it stopped.

Izuku heard the man take a deep breath in and let out a content sigh.

“There,” All for One spoke in a calm voice. “All is forgiven.”

Izuku collapsed against the man's lap. Sobbing and heaving as he shifted back and forth, trying to relieve the burning ache in his ass.

“Now…” All for One spoke after a moment. “What did we learn, Izuku?”

Izuku struggled to answer. His breath was too shaky and his voice hoarse from screaming.

SMACK!

“AUH—Stay in the house!?” Izuku croaked out.

“Very good.”

A large hand began stroking his back up and down. It lowered all the way to his rump and began squeezing the abused flesh.

“Will we have to repeat this lesson at a later date? Or do you think it will stick in here?” He tapped the back of Izuku's head.

“W-we won't,” Izuku answered.

“Good,” All for One said, and picked him up, turning him back around to sit on his lap.

Izuku hissed at the pain of his bare bottom touching the man's pants. He was surely going to have bruises the next day.

All for One sighed and started to bounce his leg, causing Izuku to bounce in turn. Up and down, like a child on their parent's lap.

“Really, Izuku, what were you thinking running away like that?” All for One chided. “Did you even think of your mother?”

Izuku hadn't. He realized coldly.

“P-please don't h-hurt her,” he pleaded with the man immediately. He already took her quirk, what else did the horrid man want?

“Oh, you don't need to worry your little head about that. I would never harm her, she's too precious to you afterall,” the man soothed. “But I may still think about it, if you try such a foolish thing again.”

Izuku swallowed a lump in his throat and nodded weakly. Anything to appease the man.

He couldn't lose his mother. Not her. Not after everyone else. He couldn't.

Izuku felt the man's mouth press against his forehead, then his cheek. A gentle hand caressed his back and massaged his hair.

“...You're going to have to make this up to me, you know.”

Izuku knew this was going to happen. He had been afraid of it.

“...W-what do you want?”

All for One sighed again, with a quick and easy smile and took Izuku by the chin to kiss him on the mouth. Then he plucked Izuku up off his lap and lowered him down to the floor, placing him in the…proper position.

On his knees.

“Take it out,” the man ordered.

Izuku momentarily debated to himself if he was actually going to do what the man said or not. But ultimately, his cowardly, shaking hands reached for the man's belt.

It took some effort with his trembling, useless fingers, but he got the belt buckle open and pulled the leather out of the loop. Then he paused for a moment, breathed before he undid All for One's pants and zipped it open. 

There he saw the man's boxers, and with a surprisingly steady hand, he reached into them, grabbed the man's…shaft, and pulled it out.

“Go on,” All for One murmured to him. “Take me in your mouth. Just like before.”

Izuku breathed once again, inhaling that awful musky scent. Then he tentatively, slowly opened his mouth…

And bit down.

Chapter Text

It had been an intrusive thought. Barely an idea. Instinct. Just something that popped into his mind, and before he knew it he actually did it.

He didn't even get a moment to think after that.

SLAP!

His head was jerked off the man's cock and hit hard to the side. His brain spun and his ear was ringing from the strength behind the hit.

For a moment he thought his jaw was broken. But then he managed to wiggle it back into its rightful place.

“You ungrateful child!” The man actually yelled at him. “Biting the hand that feeds you?! Is that how you want to behave?” Two frighteningly large hands grabbed onto his skull and shook it back and forth.

Pressure started to build and for a moment Izuku thought the man was going to crush his head like a grape. He let out a sound of pure fear and the man stopped.

He kept Izuku's head in place and just stared at him. Those pale white eyes wide with something akin to fury and…something else.

…Fear?

Was he…scared he was going to kill him?

All for One took a deep breath inward and let it out. Then in a hard contrast to his earlier actions, he leaned in and pressed a hard kiss to Izuku's lips, and then the cheek that he had slapped.

“Such a naughty boy. I just finished giving you a punishment, and already you want another,” the man chuckled.

There was the sound of something shifting in the hallway. The nomu. All for One's eyes drifted in that direction and slowly a large, terrifying smile seeped onto his lips.

“Well,” he began and looked back at Izuku. “How about we kill two birds with one stone?” He suggested.

“I was intending to introduce you anyhow,” All for One purred out. Then he pursed his lips and let out a high whistle.

There was a pause before the monstrosity lumpered its way into the room.

“It’s alright, come here…” All for One cooed at it. “Good boy,” he petted the nomu on its elongated ears, scratching and rubbing them like it were a normal dog and not some desiccated corpse.

“Now, Pochi, this is Izuku. You’ve met him already, and now we’re going to introduce ourselves formally.” All for One spoke to the nomu, still rubbing its head. “Izuku, this is Pochi. Say hello, don’t be shy,” he encouraged the boy.

“H—...hello,” Izuku stuttered out as the monster regarded him too much like a person. Its response was to open its mouth and let its purple tongue hang out. It began to pant and leaned in to sniff at Izuku’s face and neck.

“Aw, isn’t that just precious…he likes you already.” All for One chuckled.

The nomu’s nose was wet and cold, it smeared something sticky all over Izuku’s skin where it touched. He could only hope it was something natural.

“Now what do we say Izuku? You made him go and chase you an awfully long way. I think that deserves a little something, right?” All for One prompted.

“I’m…sorry?” Izuku guessed, first looking at the man and then back at the…‘dog.’

The nomu then proceeded to lick his face. Izuku noticed immediately that its breath smelled…medicinial.

All for One hummed and shook his head. “No, that won’t do. I think he needs more of an apology, wouldn’t you say, Izuku?”

Izuku looked up at the man and then hesitantly began to lower his body in a bow to the nomu.

All for One cackled at him and clapped his hands in joy. “That’s it!” He cheered. “Apologize nice and sincerely now, Izuku,” he encouraged, and a hand gripped him by the back of the neck and forced his head all the way down to the floor.

Izuku’s teeth clacked painfully together and he groaned at the ache in his forehead.

As he was reeling from the pain, he heard another whistle from the man. The nomu moved around his body, seemingly following a hidden order. Izuku had no idea what the man was planning until he felt something cold and wet touch his behind.

He shrieked.

“Get it away from me!” He hollered and kicked his legs out, trying to get the monster away from him.

“Oh, stop it, that isn’t nice. He has feelings too, and a name as well,” All for One scolded, playfully.

When Izuku didn’t listen and kept kicking, a heavy hand smacked him on the bare bottom once again. Izuku grunted and froze, causing that cold, wet nose to start pressing against him again.

“No!” Izuku complained and tried twisting away as much as he could with the fist still gripping the back of his neck. “Stop it! Go away!” He tried yelling at the ‘dog.’

But it didn’t go away. It started to lick at Izuku’s exposed skin and grew dangerously close to…that area.

In a panic, Izuku tried to grab his pants and pull them back up, but All for One stopped him by grabbing them and tearing them completely off his legs.

“None of that,” the man chided.

After that the nomu began licking all over his legs and ass. Its long, rough tongue lathered over him relentlessly and was quickly growing too much.

Izuku could do nothing to stop it when it finally started to lick at his hole. He clenched his hands into fists and grit his teeth as the man grabbed his left cheek and pulled it open. Making it easier on the nomu to get at its prize.

“Good boy,” All for One praised the nomu. “Get him nice and wet for me…”

The sounds were utterly disgusting. Izuku tried to bite his lip, but he still cried and moaned at the stimuli. It was like his body was getting used to the abuse. A terrifying thought.

“Pochi is here to keep you safe, Izuku, and where you’re supposed to be…” All for One explained. “Do try to not make his job more difficult than it needs to be.”

Izuku bit back the complaint that the man had wanted him to try and run in the first place. 

“Yes, I did. But do you know why?” All for One knowingly answered his thoughts aloud. “It is because I know you, Izuku. I know that you are a difficult learner and you need to be taught the hard way each and every time.”

Izuku turned his head away from the man as far as he could. Instead of looking anywhere near him, or the ‘dog’ he stared at the dark large tv screen on the other side of the room.

He heard All for One chuckle at him. “Ah, you know I'm right. That is why you turn away.”

“You're wrong,” Izuku refuted in a small, strained voice.

“I am not,” the man disregarded him with a single sentence. “I think that's enough licking, Pochi. Time to get on with Izuku's main punishment for being such a bad boy as of late.”

Izuku perked up at that, turned his head back around to look at the man in confusion and then alarm when all of the sudden the nomu stepped over him and pressed down.

“W-what—” Izuku blurted out and got cut off as he was rocked forward by the nomu's powerful hips. Once, twice and more.

It was humping him?!

“You disgusting old man—nmf!?” Something painfully familiar slithered around his face and through his mouth, acting like a gag. More of blackwhip's tendrils came from the man's hand and wrapped around his body, lifting him up and holding him in place for the nomu to have its ‘fun’ with.

If the nomu was even truly aware of what was happening.

His ass was hoisted up into the air as his arms and legs were locked in place where they were on the floor. A thick piece of blackwhip coiled around his neck to keep his head and torso down as the man lifted his hand off of it.

“Alright, Pochi. Be a good boy and give Izuku your love,” All for One encouraged the ‘dog.’ “Maybe if you give him enough of it, he won't want to be a bad boy anymore.”

Something big and…bulbous was pressing against Izuku's bare ass and Izuku did not want any of it. He screamed through the gag and shook his head as much as he could. Trying and failing to plead with the man for mercy. To please just call this whole thing off.

It's gonna break him!

“Here's hoping,” All for One laughed at him.

The nomu kept humping Izuku's much smaller body, shaking him back and forth with its sheer strength and size. 

He tried to ignore how he could feel its member pulsing and growing with every thrust against him. Tried to ignore how it panted over his head and he could feel the drool dripping down onto his shirt.

“Ah, it appears the little darling needs my help. Hang on, Izuku, I’ll put it in,” All for One said and bent down to grab the nomu’s cock in his hand. He then proceeded to line it up with Izuku’s hole and steadily…it went in.

Izuku whined and yelled at the unwelcome obtrusion. It felt like it was splitting him open as it came inside. It felt as large or even a little bit bigger than the man’s cock felt inside.

The nomu didn’t wait a second for the teenager to adjust and instead started bucking immediately. Moving its hips in and out in an erratic motion.

Izuku screamed and cried through the gag, clawing at the floor with his hands as much as he could to try in vain to escape this harrowing situation.

But he just couldn’t. He was too weak, he was always too weak.

All for One had practically stolen One for All from him and now he could barely fight back at all. He was useless, a good for nothing, just like the man said.

Tears and snot poured down Izuku’s face as he sobbed. The nomu continued fucking into him like a wild animal completely unimpeded by the boy’s thrashing.

“That’s it, Pochi. Good boy, breed your ward’s tight little hole. He deserves it, doesn’t he?” All for One encouraged the beast, patting it on its flank.

Izuku cried and shook his head, that no he didn’t. He couldn’t deserve this, who would?!

Forced to have sex with an experimental monster on the floor, bound like this…

It was cruel and unusual.

What’s worse, his poor, tender bottom stung every time the nomu’s powerful hips ground against it. 

Fortunately, it did not continue on for long. The nomu’s endurance was evidently much shorter than the older man’s because soon its pace started to quicken into sharp short bursts and then it stilled completely inside Izuku. 

He almost felt thankful that it would be over soon…until he felt pressure build inside. It was like the nomu’s cock was…swelling up?

…Oh.

Oh.

He knew about this.

He knew what this was.

It was how a dog’s penis worked.

His fears were confirmed when the nomu tugged at its dick and made a gruff, almost whining noise of its own when it did not come out.

Izuku craned his head to look at All for One, trying to signal the man with his eyes for help. What a silly, stupid thing to do. As if the man would ever help him—

“Shh, its alright, Izuku. Do not fret. This will only last about five minutes then you both will be free,” All for One comforted him with a hand cupping the back of his head. Gently, he stroked his hair, carded his fingers through it like a comb.

“Now, I am going to take the gag out of your mouth, Izuku…I want you to think very carefully about what you are going to say to me before you open that mouth of yours,” the man instructed. Then with one final look, the blackwhip that had been looped through Izuku’s teeth slowly slid out.

Izuku worked his jaw to try and get the kinks out of it and swallowed the excess of drool that had collected in his mouth. Then he looked pointedly down at the floor.

“I’m…sorry,” he whispered, his voice hoarse twice over from all the screaming and crying.

He heard the man hum.

“Say it again. Louder.”

“I’m very sorry,” he said more clearly.

“Look at me,”

He did.

“I’m very sorry, Papa,” He remembered.

“There’s my good boy,” All for One smiled.

The End
