CHAPTER 8 - The Agency

Waking up in a tangle of alpha is both enjoyable and annoying to Kimi. Sure, she loves to be surrounded by her alphas, basking in their scent and warmth. However, when her bladder starts screaming at her, the reality of the situation slaps her in the face. Both of her alphas have her locked in their arms and the moment she moves one, the other alpha squeezes her tighter.

She lets out a whine, causing both alphas to slightly open their eyes, checking on their omega.

“I- I have to pee,” she explains, slightly embarrassed. She’s met with a pair of chuckles and grumbles. After a moment of reluctance, they release her from their grasp and help her get out of the large bed.

After relieving herself, she comes back and stares at her two alphas, peacefully cuddling one another in the middle of the bed. Glancing at the time, she decides to start making breakfast so that when Shouta gets up, there’s food is ready for him. She closes the door to the bedroom behind her and moves into the kitchen. She shoots a text to Naomi, checking in on her, and is surprised to see that she responds back quickly. She shoots her a text asking if it’s ok to call her and Naomi responds back that it is.

“Hello~!” Naomi greets with enthusiasm after two short rings.

“Hey, Naomi! How are you?” Kimi greets back with a cheery tone.

“So good! How about you, ” she says adding some emphasis to the last word.

“I’m great! It’s so good to hear your voice.”

“Oh my gosh, right! It’s good to hear yours! I miss you so much. I know it’s only been a couple of days but I feel like there’s probably so much that’s happened, right?”

“Oh, totally,” Kimi agrees, grabbing the last thing she needs to start breakfast.

“Why don’t you start first, what’s been going on with you,” Kimi asks.

“Not a whole lot, just the normal routine. My heats in a couple of weeks so I’m getting excited for that.”

Kimi lets out a pleased squeal.

“Oh my gosh, I am so happy for you! I’m hoping it all goes well.”

“Oh, it totally will. My alpha took time off so we’re for sure going to make sure that things take this time.”

Kimi’s face brightens with a grin.

“Oh my gosh, I am just so happy for you! Anything else happen? Did I miss anything while I was gone?”

Naomi takes a second to think, humming over the phone.

“Oh, this awful villain had this poor boy in a chokehold. The villain had this like gross sludgy quirk and was like taking over the kid's body. It was so scary! The heroes that showed up couldn’t do anything to help. Their quirks weren’t effective against his quirk or something and he kept threatening to hurt the kid. Plus, the villain kept causing these explosions that they were all trying to put out.

The kid was trying to fight back but it wasn’t working either. He ended up just standing there, getting choked out in front of this huge crowd.”

“Oh god, that sounds awful, is he ok?”

“Oh yeah, he’s fine now. What’s really crazy is this other kid who ended up running in and just started pawing at the villain. Come to find out, he was quirkless, ”

“What?!” Kimi exclaims, pausing her cooking for a second.

“Yeah! Guess the other boy was his friend and he couldn’t help himself and just ran in and tried to help.”

“Oh my gosh, that’s so scary. What ended up happening?” Kimi asked, completely entranced by the story.

“Well, All Might ended up coming in at the last second and saved both the boys.”

“Oh, thank goodness. And everyone’s ok?” Relieved, Kimi goes back to her cooking, making sure nothing is burning.

“Yeah. He used this cool like, spiny wind move that sucked up the villain and stopped the fires and then caused it to rain. It was so COOL.”

“You say that as if you were there,” Kimi giggles.

“I mean… I may have stopped to watch it. It was just so crazy!”

“Oh my gosh Naomi, you gotta be careful about that. You don’t want to be sucked up into anything.”

“I know, I know. I normally don’t, but I’m kind of glad I did. I mean, how often do you get to watch All Might in action?”

Kimi rolls her eyes at her friend's comment.

“Yeah, I guess. I just don't think it was very smart of you to be there watching.”

“Yeah, yeah, lecture me later,” she giggles. “The really weird thing about all of it was that All Might had gone after the villain earlier in the day. So somehow it got away from All Might for quite some time. It’s not like him to let a villain like that go, I wonder what happened.”

“You said it was like a sludge monster right? Maybe it had slinked away into the ground or something.”

The girls share a grossed-out squeal and giggle.

“Still, you don't think it's weird?”

“Nah, it worked out. I'm sure the villain just weaseled its way from All Might somehow. It happens, no one's perfect, ya know?”

“Yeah but come on, this is All Might we're talking about.”

“Eh, who knows,” Kimi says noncommittally. “I'm just glad that quirkless boy didn't get hurt.”

“Me too!” Naomi agrees. “You'd think he'd know better, being quirkless and all.”

“Hey!” Kimi playfully scolds.

“I'm just saying,” Naomi defends. “The world is hard enough already without any defenses.”

Kimi quirks her brow at Naomi. Naomi seems to sense it through the silence over the phone.

“You're a different case, you know that,” she placates.

“Yeah, I know. Just like to give you sass where I can,” Kimi teases. She hears the bedroom door open and decides to end her convo.

“Oh, Naomi, I gotta go. We should meet up for lunch or something next week so we can catch up, ok?”

“Yeah, totally! I’ll text you ok?”

“Ok, love you!”

“Love you bye!” Naomi squeaks.

Kimi ends the call and brings her attention to the dark-haired male who’s now entered the kitchen. His hair is a scruffy mess and his posture matches. Kimi smiles wide and starts to plate up some food.

“Good morning,” she greets sweetly.

Shouta walks behind her and wraps his arms around her waist.

“Good morning,” he grumbles in her ear. She swallows heavily, not wanting to admit how much that affected her.

“Did I wake you up? Sorry if I did,” she asks.

“No, you’re good. Had an alarm set.”

“Ok,” she acknowledges. He removes his arms and moves to the counter behind them, starting to make the coffee. She mentally chides herself for not thinking to start that and finishes up making his plate of food.

“Who were you talking to?” Shouta asks.

“Oh, that was my friend Naomi. Just catching up while I was getting things ready.”

Shouta makes an acknowledging noise but doesn’t continue the conversation. They sit in silence for a moment, making Kimi feel a bit odd.

“Did you want to sit down and I could bring you your coffee?”

“That’s ok,” Aizawa says, watching the pot start to brew.

Kimi nods and bites her lip, unsure of what to do.

“Oh, I should feed Sushi,” Kimi comments, moving to go to the pantry. Shouta reaches out as she walks by and pulls her to his chest. She’s startled and a bit surprised but accepts the action.

“I’m sorry, I just need you close this morning,” he offers as an explanation. Kimi looks up at his face to find his eyes staring off somewhere far away. She snuggles more into his hold and releases some soothing waves. They stay like that until the coffee finishes brewing. Shouta seems reluctant release Kimi before reaching to make a cup. Kimi takes that as a sign to continue with feeding Sushi. When she’s done, she finds Shouta at the table, eating what she had made for him.

Pride blooms in her chest as she watches him and packs up the leftovers for her and Hizashi later. He finishes up his meal right about the time that he finishes his breakfast. He comes to her side, kissing her temple as she’s rinsing something off.

“I can take your plate,” she offers. He gives it to her with a smile and watches as she quickly washes it. Wanting to fill the dead air between them, Kimi tries to make conversation.

“Do you like doing them? The busts?”

“I like your busts,” he says, voice deadpanned. The comment takes her by surprise, causing her to whip her head towards his face. He looks down at her with a cocky smile and they both laugh.

“Thank you for breakfast,” Shouta says. “And no, I don’t. But my quirk is needed, so I have to go.”

Kimi hums at his response, a small smile still on her face.

“I like to be out in the open, it's easier to get away,” he explains.

“That makes sense. Kind of like when we met, you were swinging from building to building, right?”

“Exactly,” he agrees with a small smile.

“Will I get to see you at the agency?”

“Probably not,” he shrugs. “If you do, you gotta make sure you don’t give us away, ok? None of that doofy grin, ya?”

“Hey!” Kimi says, lightly flicking some water at him as she finishes cleaning off his plate. “My smile is not ‘doofy’.”

“I dunno,” he teases. “You and ‘Zash kinda got the same grin.”

Kimi pretends not to be embarrassed but a light dusting of pink greets her face.

Before he leaves, Shouta showers and kisses Kimi goodbye. Kimi in turn crawls back into bed with Hizashi while she waits for his alarm to go off. After detangling herself from his limbs once more that morning, she reheats their breakfast and makes some tea.

“Do I need to wear anything specific today?” Kimi asks while eating breakfast.

“Mm, just business attire. I think you have plenty of pieces that would fit that. Oh! And those shoes I bought you,” Hizashi says with a grin.

Kimi blushes and takes another bite of food to try and hide it.

“No disguise?” she asks as she swallows her bite.

“Nah,” Hizashi waves off. “You should be fine to be yourself at the agency, just don’t make it known that you’re in a pack with us. Sound fair?”

“Yeah, I can do that,” Kimi comments. “Just keep things professional, right?”

“You got it!” Hizashi says, sporting finger guns and a full mouth.

“Welcome,” the receptionist greets as Kimi and Hizashi enter the agency later in the day. “Hope you’re having a good day, sir.”

“Indeed,” he greets back. “This is my new personal assistant, Kimi. I’m going to be showing her around today.”

"Oh, how lovely. It’ll be good to have a new face around here.” They bow respectfully to Kimi who mirrors their action.

“Thank you, I’m excited to start working here,” Kimi responds.

“Well, I hope you have a fantastic first day,” they quip and Kimi responds in favor.

Kimi does a seamless job of fitting into her new role. Hizashi provided her with a clipboard and journal to take notes that fit perfectly in her new purse. Hizashi’s attire also helps her facade.

He’s done up in his normal Present Mic attire, something she once dreamed about seeing in person. If only she could tell her past self that the DJ she had swooned over while doing homework would one day be her alpha. She smiles to herself as Present Mic shows her where some offices and restrooms are while guiding her to the elevator. Once in the elevator, Hizashi presses the button for the top floor.

“Figured we’d work our way from top to bottom,” he explains.

“Of course, sir,” she says with a smile, keeping up the act.

She manages to keep up the facade as they go through a few floors of the building. She meets the people who deal with the publicity and paperwork for Hizashi, Shouta, and Nemuri. The legal team seemed a tad more worn out but were cordial enough with her when they met. Surprisingly, the small group that helps with dispatch and coordinates with other hero agencies was extra friendly which Kimi made sure to reflect. They lightly filled in Hizashi about Shouta’s current mission but were reluctant to talk further with Kimi there.

The last floor they visited, had three very creative souls inhabiting it. Kimi leaves the elevator and one of the employees squeals and runs up to hug Kimi. Startled, she accepts the hug but gives Hizashi a puzzled look.

“Sorry, they kind of figured out what was happening. I put in a week of leave right after I had told them I was going to another interview. So, they kind of put two and two together. They’re hard ones to keep secrets from,” Present Mic offered. The two other employees swarm Kimi, rapid-firing questions and taking various measurements.

“Alright, don’t scare her,” he tuts. They all back off with various groans. One employee explains that this is the wardrobe and merch department. They tend to pair with the publicity team to make pieces for the three heroes, but will also make pieces on their own. They also help Midnight and Present Mic with any cosmetic work that needs to be done.

“Getting Eraserhead in here is like pulling teeth,” another employee whines. “He hates having his face or name on anything."

“These guys can also help with your hair and stuff if you’d like. I’d prefer it if you did because these three know how to keep their mouth shut,” says Present Mic.

“Oh don’t we,” says one employee. “I remember when you were still trying to hide your first relationship from us. Pah, didn’t last long, did it,” they laugh.

Present Mic rolls his eyes.

“They found us making out in a closet after a mission,” he explains to Kimi. Her mouth hangs open before she hides it with her clipboard. The trio laughs and starts to share more stories before Present Mic cuts them off.

“Alright, you’ll have plenty of time later for that. Let’s show her the merch, I think she’d be a really good, fresh mind for that. Especially considering she’s one of my little listeners.”

The trio gives a chorus of ooo’s before ushering her further into the department. They show off various wardrobes and support items, as well as various magazine spreads, some clippings of news articles, and screenshots of social media posts.

There were keychain ideas, half-made pieces of clothing, and some catalogs open to random pages. Kimi’s eyes soaked in all of the different designs, cooing over some and providing some feedback for others. She gushes to one of the employees about all of the Present Mic merch she already had from the fan club she was a part of. She didn’t dare look at Present Mic for his reaction to that information though.

“Such a shame that Eraserhead doesn’t want his name on anything,” Kimi remarks at one point.

“Yeah,” one of the employees pouts. “Says it kills his whole underground hero thing.”

Kimi slowly nods, absorbing the info.

“That makes sense. Shame, though, would have been cool to have some.”

“Oh! For you, I’ll make anything you want,” another employee chirps. “I have some designs and things I came up with so if you see anything, just let me know.”

They pull out a sketchbook and Kimi goes back to cooing over the designs and requesting a few pieces for herself. The employee agrees and starts making an order list for Kimi. A few minutes later, Kimi is grinning ear to ear as she wishes the employees all goodbye with Present Mic.

As they get into the elevator, Present Mic says,

“One more stop.”

“Hm?” Kimi questions, looking up at the hero. He responds back with a wink and pushes the top floor button. When they arrive, they exit to find a narrow, quiet hallway. They walk down and Kimi reads various door plaques.

Server room. Meeting room. Break room. It all seems like a regular office area until they round a corner and she sees a light mounted above one of the doors. A gasp blurts from her mouth before she can even realize it.

“Is this?”

“Mmhmm,” Present Mic says with a cocky smile on his face.

“No way!”

She watches as he opens a door and sees a bunch of equipment facing a window. On the other side of the window is the room she’s seen a countless number of times on her phone screen.

The Throw Your Hands Up Radio sign on the wall feels so familiar yet so surreal at the same time.

“This is so cool,” Kimi whispers. Present Mic chuckles.

“Glad you like it, little listener. Want to go take a seat?”

“Yes!” Kimi yells. Embarrassed by her outburst, she readjusts herself into a more professional position and adds. “Yes, please. If you wouldn’t mind.”

“Of course,” he says smugly. “Anything for one of my little fan club girlies.”

Kimi blushes hard and partially hides her face with her clipboard. He leads them out of the room before unlocking the door to the recording room. Once inside, Kimi’s breath leaves her. She looks around in awe at all of the different equipment around her.

“This is amazing,” she says.

Present Mic walks in front of her, pulling out the chair that is usually reserved for guests. He gestures for her to sit and she does so, chest bursting with happiness. He moves to the chair sitting next to her, getting into his normal comfortable position. He moves the microphone in front of him to his face and starts his regular quip.

“Welcome back to Throw Your Hands Up Radio, I’m your DJ Present Mic, bringing you the party one beat at a time. With me today is the fantastic Kimi, known all across the world as the hottest omega known to mankind. Kimi, how does it feel to be in the studio with us today.”

Kimi giggles and decides to play along, bringing her mic closer to her face.

“Well Mr. Present Mic, I must say, it is quite the honor. Especially to be in the presence of such a powerful and talented alpha as yourself.”

“My, my. Aren’t you the flatterer? You must be careful though my dear, my little listeners are known to be quite the passionate bunch.”

Kimi laughs, pushing the microphone away. They spend a few more minutes in the room, Present Mic showing off various equipment and little things placed throughout the room. It’s later in the afternoon when the pair leaves the building.

“Ugh, I don’t know about you, but all of that walking made me hungry,” Present Mic groans.

“I could certainly eat,” Kimi quips.

“Let’s grab some food from the place next door and then we can head home, ya?”

“That sounds wonderful,” Kimi smiles.

They make sure to grab enough food for both themselves and Shouta, before making their way back home. Once inside, Present Mic’s facade falls and he lets out a deep breath.

“Everything ok?” Kimi asks, concerned.

“Yeah, that was just way harder than I was expecting,” he says, pulling her to him. She shyly smiles and returns the hug, making sure to let out some calming waves.

“Sorry, I hope I didn’t upset you,” she says, trying to placate her alpha.

“Not at all, princess. You were perfect,” Hizashi says, speaking into the top of her head. A light dusting of pink falls on Kimi’s face so she snuggles up more into his chest to hide it.

“I do have to say though, it’s quite odd to see you as Present Mic. It’s like you’re a different person.”

He quietly nods his head before saying,

“Makes it easier when they don’t know the real you.”

Kimi lets out an understanding hum before they separate from one another.

“Sho!” Hizashi calls out. “You home?”

“Yeah,” comes a tired voice from the living room. Kimi makes her way over, wanting to check in on the other alpha.

“We’ve got food,” she says, as she approaches with bags in her hand.

“Perfect,” Shouta says, tiredly looking up from his computer screen on the couch. “I just have to finish something up really quick and then I’ll be at the table, ok?”

“No problem,” Kimi chirps.

Deciding to make things a little nicer, she grabs some tableware and quickly sets the table. After plating the meals, the trio eat together while Sushi twirls around their legs under the table, hoping to catch any scraps.

Hizashi starts filling in Shouta about the day he and Kimi had. Shouta lightly discusses his mission but doesn’t go into heavy details. Kimi once again finds herself basking in the domestic feel of things. She knows these moments will probably be far and few in between once they start working, so she focuses on savoring this one. Shouta catches her staring at the two of them.

“Something wrong?” he asks with a small tinge of concern.

“Oh, no. Nothing. Sorry. I was just thinking about how nice this all is. Savoring the moment and all that,” Kimi says.

Her two alphas give her smiles in return. They spend the evening cuddled up on the couch, basking in one another’s scents.

8 months later

“Thank you, Ms. Ison, for coming in to see us today. Though I do wish it were under much better circumstances.” A/N:

Sorry for the cliffhanger but I promise the next chapter will make up for it! Putting on some finishing touches and rewriting a few spots for more cohesiveness. It should be all ready for you next week, but I'll see if I can also try to get it out a little earlier if I can! Again, thank you so much for all of the support and love y'all leave! :)

Also, I'm sure plenty of you have caught on, but if you haven't, I use the characters to address their presence in the room. That's why for parts of this chapter Hizashi is titled by his real name and other times he's Present Mic. It kind of helps discern how Kimi views them as well. It was just something that I had been doing but never really brought up. Since this chapter had a good example of it, I thought this would be the best time to mention it.

Anywhoodles, rambling aside, I wish you all the best! Thanks again for the support. Stay safe and stay hydrated! <3
