Lacuna

Chapter 11

Shoto was scared. Never been more scared in his life. Whatever happened and whoever caused it, he felt bad for them. Because he was coming after them. Shoto knew Izuku was pissed at him. He could see from a mile away. He knew what he did was fucked up. Hiding the letters, never telling katsuki about Izuku, and lying to Izuku about katsuki. Maybe it was jealous, or maybe it was something else. He wasn't sure. However, something inside him wanted him to keep katsuki far away from Izuku and keep him to himself. Lock him in that manor so nothing can hurt him. But it seems like something effected that safe bubble.

Izuku was already pissed at Shoto from lying to and about katsuki. He was surprised he was even alive now. Maybe Izuku had mercy on him.

Shoto is walking through the woods with Izuku as they get to the manor. It was a pain trying to leave this place. Because of a powerful spell, no magic can be inside the manor area from miles away. That included Izuku's powers. So he couldn't winnow from the palace to the manor. As convenient that would've been.

Izuku is on his midnight horse as they speed to the manor. Shoto is on Sebastian. The spring breeze brushes against their faces as they ride. Beside Shoto, Izuku is facing straight forward and glaring. Shoto was almost convinced Izuku could see whoever caused the alarm of the manor to go off.

Izuku's black wings were close against his back, the feathers glinting in the moonlight. Shoto loved the wings of angels and some demons. Their large wings expanding as they flied in the air. The sun or moon light shining on them causing them to look more magical than they already are. Shoto wished he had wings. Mainly to show off and look powerful. No doubt it made Izuku look menacing. Some people it looked menacing on others, it looked beautiful. Angelic. He knew someone who had that look. The thought of them made his skin warm up.

After half an hour or so, Shoto could see the large gates of the manor ahead of him. Something happened to Katsuki and it was something bad. It was enough to cause Izuku to get out of his safe home and come. Shoto was worried. Very worried. If he saw a single mark on Katsuki's body showing someone harmed him, he would hunt that person down and kill them himself. He swears to god.

They get to the gates and all the servants are outside of the house whispering to one another. Some wearing normal attire and others wearing their night gowns and clothes. The gates opened for Izuku and Shoto. The two entered. Izuku jumped off his horse and Shoto carefully got off his. The servants turned to them. Once they saw Izuku, they quickly went on bowed or curtsied. Some even went on their knees.

"Where is he," Izuku asked with a dangerously serious tone.

"In the third floor, the last room," Iida replied quickly. His armor glinted and it made sounds any move he made. Izuku flied to third floor and flied through the open window of the last room. Shoto ran inside and ran the stairs up to the third floor. The candlelights were still on but something felt off. Like knowing something bad was going to happen but not sure what. That haunting feeling.

Shoto made it to the last room and broke the handle, allowing himself in. He felt sick just from the smell. And the sigh was worse. There were dead leaves on the ground with small specks of water. Red marks of chalk made a circle that looked like a summoning spell. Blood was all over the ground and vomit. And the one who caused it was limp in Izuku's arms.

Izuku was holding Katsuki, blood dripping from his left eye and covered in blood. From what it looked like, his eye was no longer there and it was hollow. The thought made Shoto want to puke. Sweat slid from his forehead and was passed out. Dread filled Shoto.

"Baby, my angel, I'm here now. You're okay now," Izuku said, holding katsuki close. Katsuki didn't reply. Izuku got up and held Katsuki in his arms. Katsuki's hand slipped off his chest and hanged to the side. The sight of him like this made Shoto feel tempted in pulling katsuki away from Izuku and hold him close while whispering sweet nothings into his ear. But he knew he'd face death if he ever did that.

Izuku slowly walked out. Servants were in the hallway, watching them. Without looking up, Izuku said, "Clean up the mess that's in there. I want no trace of what happened." In the light, Shoto could see the ring shining on Katsuki's finger even though it was covered in blood. Shoto's blood boiled.

Izuku walked to Katsuki's room, Shoto followed. Before Shoto could enter, Izuku stopped him and looked at him, his face expressionless.

"I want you to stay here and stay far away from him," Izuku growled. Shoto was more pissed now and looked into Izuku's eyes, challenging him. He could see his bright green eyes, the only thing that was bright on Izuku. Shadows curled around Izuku's pupil and they stared into Shoto's soul. He felt shadows curl around his neck and slightly tighten. He tensed but showed no other reaction. He wouldn't give Izuku that satisfaction.

In defeat, Shoto looked away. "For a second there I thought you lost your place, Shoto," Izuku said before going into the room and closing the door locking it. Leaving with katsuki. Shoto slid against the wall and clenched his hair muttering curses. Izuku pissed him off more than anything but he knew if he challenged him, he would get killed. Especially by his father. Shoto could do nothing in this situation. He couldn't even have the person he loved. But that's the way it is and Shoto hated it.
