Xenomorphs.-
-They are depicted as tall, slender creatures with a roughly human biomechanical design. The chest area appears to be rib cage-like in design. They possess an exoskeleton much like that of a lobster, impenetrable to everything but the most powerful human firearms.
-Attached at the ends of both of their arms are a set of long fingers and shiny, black, and extremely sharp claws capable of slashing through almost anything within its grasp. Its tail is long, and can be used as a whip.
-The inner jaw (also known as an "attack tongue") is a muscular appendage on the inside of the Xenomorph's mouth. All Xenomorphs have this trait. It consists of a cord of muscle with a small but extremely deadly mouth-like appendage on the end. This attack tongue is able to punch through almost anything, from bone to Predator armor.
-They stand at around 7 feet tall, averaging in anywhere between 140 kg and 180 kg; although size may vary depending on the specimen.
Katsuki closes the damn book about other species with a huff. He thought he would be able to get some new info but it all says the same. And also, now that he noticed, they're wrong.Take Izuku for example: It is written that they have elongated, cylindrical skulls, but that's not it. They need to wear that ridiculous elongated, banana-shaped hood -yes, it's a hood- to cover and protect themselves from future enemies. He's seen the alien without it and he looks gorgeous while playing with his green curls.The visuals are both disturbing and terrifying. Sure, the inner jaw may seem like that but he's only seen it close enough to determine that yep, disgusting but not terrifying. At least not when on an ambush, Izuku thought it would be cute to try that and give a kiss to Katsuki's cheek with his slimy appendage.Between him and Izuku, who is the one that would be more similar to a human? Probably Bakugou.Although Predators are physically distinguished from humans by their greater height and arthropod-like mandibles, it's the bipedal humanoids behaviors and the fact that underneath their masks they even might pass as a human... only if they don't open their mouth to show the mandibles. They're well built: strong and hard chest, bulging arms and powerful legs. All what a warrior must be.Also, he prefers to cover his face with his mask, which also apparently aids in breathing.Bakugou looks around at his clan. Looks like they're getting ready for hunting and so is he. After a couple of minutes, his friends are ready and they all leave together, putting on their cloaks so they can camouflage and turning invisible for the common eye. Izuku didn't mind having to use his elongated carapace-like hood that covers his green curls from the prying eye. Usually he has to do that at home but not when he's out, getting some fresh air. But when the Alien wants to go around, it's better if he covers his whole body with a long cape and his unusual green hair under the hood just for if he were to run into humans. And right now? Well, he didn't know what to do. It wasn't that common to be humans here. They tend to ignore this part of the island and not want to get closer to what they consider 'monsters'.He had been lurking on top of the trees near a path when he saw a woman with brown eyes and red hair styled into three bangs going across her face looking around, as if she were looking for something. There were other humans behind her as well.Realizing that they didn't mean to cause any harm, Izuku slides down until he was standing in front of the woman, who jumps back and gasps, having been startled by his sudden appearance."Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." Izuku says. The woman brings a hand to her chest, trying to calm her beating heart."It's okay. Actually... We're lost and I don't wanna be a nuisance but I was wondering if you maybe could help us get back to our camp?"Izuku turns around, shiny green emerald eyes looking back at the group. He doesn't miss the way the woman gasps. She must have seen his face and body."You-You're a...are a...""Yeah.... But don't worry, I don't harm anyone. Unless, you don't want me to help you anymore."Not the first time that humans run away from them."No, no! I didn't mean to! I-I was just surprised, that's all!" she offers her hand to Izuku, "I'm Mandalay. And this are Ryuko, Tomoko and my nephew Kota."As she said the names, she pointed at Tomoko -the woman with long, emerald green hair and big round yellow eyes. And then, Ryuko -the woman with blue eyes, and long blonde hair that's mostly combed back save for her bangs. And the only little kid there, Kota: the kid has short, spiky black hair (just like his eyes) and wears a red hat with golden, spike-shaped horns on the front.Izuku smiles, "Nice to meet you all! I'm Izuku!"Izuku agreed to lead them to their camp because if Predators were to catch them, well, that was no good. At this time of the year the Predators were hunting all the time because they needed to prove to the Elders that they were worthy of being called 'warrior'.So Izuku was there basically to protect them and make sure they reach their camp. Once that's done, he'll go back to his friends so they can plan tonight's activities.After walking for maybe an hour non-stop, Izuku looked down at the kid walking beside him and noticed that he was going slower than before.Without stopping, he asked "Are you tired? I can carry you.""No thanks.""I don't mind.""I said no thanks."Izuku decided to let it go. He's not going to pester the kid and make him hate him more.Mandalay and the blonde girl -Ryuko- are talking about wanting to get back to their camp to get something to eat, while the green haired woman -Tomoko- was looking around the forest, looking at the small animals that appeared out of nowhere and she smiled at them. She seemed to like nature, huh.Izuku kept walking, behind them in case something happened and with the little kid beside him. Since they already knew that he was a Xenomorph, he didn't felt like he had to hide, so he opened up a little bit of his cape and let out his long tail. It was a little funny, how it swings from side to side like a dog would.Uraraka teases him about it but she shouldn't be talking when she does the exact same when she looks over at Iida. She even starts to salivate a little more.He's brought out of his thoughts when he felt a tug at his tail. Weird.Izuku turned around and looked down to see Kota looking up at him. The little kid was biting his lips, and playing with his fingers -he was nervous."What is it, Kota? Is something wrong?""Yes, well, no. No, there's nothing wrong, I just..."He looks troubled. Like he can't say what's on his mind but he's trying. What could that be? He stopped walking and looks a little tired. Oh. That's it: he wants Izuku to carry him but doesn't know how to ask.Izuku can't help but to smile.Without anything else to say, Izuku kneels and grabs the kid, hoisting him up so the kid is pressed against the Xenomorph's body, his tiny arms around Izuku's neck. Izuku offers a smile as they go back on walking.If the women saw anything, they didn't show it. They continued talking between them while Izuku carried Kota.Half an hour later, Izuku was sure that they were close to the camp. He could smell some food, and not to be a bother but he was kinda hungry. Maybe he could ask the women for some food before leaving? No, no. That would be too much. He could feel a pair of eyes watching him and although usually they would come from around the forest, this time the looking came from the little boy in his arms. Izuku turned to look at Kota.The kid raised both his arms and his hands opened and closed, opened and closed. Izuku, confused, raised an eyebrow. What was the kid trying to- Oh. He gently smiled and bowed his head so he knew he was at the kid's level. Then he felt it. Soft, tiny hands touching curiously his curls. He didn't moved so he wouldn't scare the boy, but something told him even if he did, the kid wouldn't be scared.Izuku closed his eyes and let everything else flew away. He didn't even got mad when he felt a tug on one curl. Then, the tiny hands left his curls and slightly touched the black cover before putting his arms back at his sides.Holding Kota close to him, and after that exchange, Izuku felt a knot forming on his stomach.Oh, how much he longed for a kid.But it was impossible. Because even if he could have a kid, the one he wanted to with didn't want anything with him, and they were different species. It would never work out.As soon as he thought that, he heard some rustling over the bushes and was about to put on defensive mode, even taking his claws out and ready to open his mouth if needed when he saw the bushes open and a familiar Predator coming from beneath it."Kacchan.""Deku." his voice sounded deeper because of the Bio-mask he was wearing, "What the hell are you doing here? And with humans? What, gonna kill them?""What?!" the group seemed taken aback. "No! No, I'm just helping them get back to their camp site!"Bakugou didn't hear anything else, he was more occupied watching Izuku carrying the kid in is arms as if it were his own kid.That thought bothered him for some reason.
"Bakugou! Here you are! Why did you had to go ahead and makes us follow-"
Behind Bakugou, other two Predators appeared but these ones took off their masks and Izuku immediately recognized them."Kirishima, Kaminari, you guys are here too?"The redhaired Predator smiled at him, "Ah! Midoriya! You came here to hunt too?"Izuku shook his head, "No, I was just taking some air when I ran into these women and I offered to take them back to their camp. I think we're actually close.""Yeah, I can smell it too." Bakugou said, still with his mask on.Mandalay approached them carefully, not knowing how to act while being surrounded by three Predators and a Xenomorph. "Well, you are welcomed to join us with the food. I bet we have enough for all.""Oh, we wouldn't want to be a bother!" said Kirishima."None of it!"And at the end, they all ended up at the camp where another human -this time a male- was already waiting. Yawara -"call me Tiger"- was a tall, muscular man with short brown hair and a small triangle shaped beard. And by the smell of the food, he was a good chef. They were all getting ready to grab the plates and start pouring some food when Mandalay noticed something.Kota had fallen asleep in Izuku's arms."Aww, he's so cute when he's sleeping~" Ryuko said while smiling at the cute kid asleep."Maybe I should put him on his bed." Mandalay said as she stretched her arms towards Kota, with the intention of taking the kid from Izuku.Izuku took a step back. "N-no, it's okay! I can keep holding him. It's no trouble!""You sure, Izuku? Aren't you hungry?"
'To be honest, he was starving; his inner jaw was trying to come out and salivate all over the food'
"N-Not that much. I can wait."The woman gave him a look that said 'I don't believe you but okay. You must have your reasons.' and allowed him to stand there like a creep, holding Kota while the others went to eat.So he wouldn't be tortured by the smells and by watching the other eat, Izuku decided to move away with Kota still on his arms. He walked around the camp with soft swings of his hips so he was rocking Kota. The kid would occasionally move but never woke up. His tiny arms were still around Izuku's neck, which meant that he could feel every exhale Kota took. It was comforting in some way.As he wandered around the camp, his minds started going somewhere else too. No matter how much he tries, he can't shake these feelings. He thinks it's just because he's holding Kota and the kid is so cute while asleep that sure, it may have awoken a desire he didn't know he had. Or maybe he did know but he wasn't sure if he should let it out.How would it feel to have a kid?Oh damn, his heat was getting closer and that's why he's being so emotional about this. Stupid heat. At least he knew what he was gonna do about it: Nothing.Because there are only two ways for Xenomorphs to have offsprings:The first one involves the facehuggers. Centuries ago only the Alien Queen was the one to put eggs, where the facehuggers came from, but now there's no Queen anymore, and every Xenomorph can put eggs just for this task and when they are in heat.The facehugger secures its eight finger-like appendages tightly around the head of the person and wraps its tail tightly around the person's neck, allowing the insertion of an ovipositor into the person's esophagus. Not so romantic, but the main purpose was to populate, and it did the job.Once the embryo is safely implanted, the parasite detaches from the person and the only thing left to do it wait until the embryo grows. Eventually and once the 'pregnancy' is complete, the larval form of the Xenomorph will violently erupt from the person's chest cavity. Although centuries ago it usually ended resulting in a gruesome and excruciating death, nowadays it's able to save the person who was carrying it and that way the creature will have both parents.The second one involves a little more touching. Well, 'a little more touching' meaning sexual intercourse.It's like humans would make a baby, and the Xenomorph, no matter if male or female, has to be the one carrying the baby. That's the only way an offspring will come out of this. Only that at the end, the result is the same as the first option: the larval form of the Xenomorph will erupt from the Xenomorph's chest cavity.And all that was while contemplating that the other person was either a human or another fellow Xenomorph. Or maybe even a compatible species.That's where Izuku knew he was screwed.Because of course, OF COURSE, he went and fell in love with the one person he can't have, no matter what: Predator Bakugou Katsuki.Not only they're complete opposites but their species used to be mortal enemies. Sure, now they're more civil with each other but there were still some Predators that enjoyed hunting Xenomorphs only for the thrill of it. And they call us the monsters.Kacchan didn't kill Xenomorphs, only if he had to, like if he were to get in a fight with one, he would do what he has to in order to get out alive. Izuku understands that. If the roles were reversed, he too would do what's necessary to be alive.It's not because Izuku thinks that Kacchan wouldn't be a good parent material. No, on the contrary. He knows that he would provide: he's strong, intelligent and a strategist. He never loses and doesn't like to lose. He's good a leadership and also following orders -even if he's not too happy about it.What worries him is that Kacchan would never want to mate with Izuku. Not a Xenomorph. No. Just Izuku.They've known each other for almost all of their lives; Kacchan considers him a friend, a rival, not a love interest. He's never shown interest in him... or in anyone now that Izuku thinks about it. Maybe he doesn't care about having a mate and even less of having offsprings.Now that's a bummer.Izuku sighs and looks down at the little kid sleeping in his arms.He finds himself smiling. It's okay if Kacchan doesn't like him like that. If he has to choose between Kacchan being in his life but only as a friend or not having Kacchan at all, Izuku will always choose the option which includes Bakugou Katsuki. After leaving the humans in their camp, the Predators went back to hunting and Izuku went back to his house. His best friend Uraraka was already waiting there for him. Once in his room, the two were sitting on his bed, both of their elongated hoods off, and watching a movie.Halfway the movie Uraraka started telling him about the Heat race and how that was going to be her chance to finally confess to their friend Iida.'Finally!' thought Izuku. Those two have been pining over the other for three years now.About the 'Heat race', it's kind of a race, actually. It happens in the forest. The Xenomorphs release the facehuggers in chances of getting the one they want as a mate or as host for their children.Sure, if you already have a partner, then it's easier. All you have to do is put the facehugger directly over your partner's face and it'll do its job. You can also enter the race even with a partner and it's the thrill for your facehugger to find your mate before anyone else does it.It's also a test of stamina and strength. The Xenomorphs that don't want to have an offspring -of a certain someone or at all- must run and elude the facehuggers, because once they catch you, you must endure the whole process until it's done.So, yeah, if you want to be caught by the one you like, you have to be smart and not let anyone else catch you first. Or if you're like Izuku, and don't want an offspring of any of his fellow Xenomorphs, you have to run.Izuku can't not participate; it's the rules. All young and in age Xenomorphs that enter their heat must attend the Heat race; the only exception is if you already have a partner/lover. Then you spend your heat with them.But Izuku is single as he can be.But back to Uraraka's dilemma..."So, what? You're going to let him enter the race and you're going to release the facehugger to catch him? Or you're the one entering the race and he's going to release the face hugger?" Izuku asked, because seriously, he was more interested in his friend's love life than in his own."No, no, no. Nobody is going to enter the race. After my confessions, which I hope goes well, I'll just let him put the facehugger over my face and done! We'll be together and expecting a baby!""Wow, I'm so jealous of your life. You already have it planned.""Oww, come on, Izuku! Don't make me feel bad because I already have it sorted out."The male Xenomorph snarled at her, taking out his attack tongue just to mess with her. The brunet giggled and slapped his leg with her tail."And what about you?""What about me?""You know... What are you going to do?"Izuku didn't say anything. He just looked at the side, avoiding eye contact with the brunet.He heard her sigh, "'Zuku, you know the rules. You must attend the race. Only if you have a partner already then you can skip it.""But I don't. We just established that.""Maybe you could ask Bakugou-"Izuku turns to look at her, "For what? For him to laugh at my face and tell me to go fuck myself? Because trust me, if I could, I would, and then I wouldn't be in this predicament!""You don't know that!""No! That's just gonna make me get depressed and then I'll be an easier target. Nope. Not gonna happen. I'm just gonna outrun all the facehuggers until the day is off. I'll be fine.""You sure?""Yeah. I can outrun those little bastards. The only thing I was worried about was that I would meet one of yours and that by some chance it would catch me."Uraraka started laughing, using her leg to nudge at Izuku's side, "Oww, 'Zuku! Could you imagine? Me and you having a kid?""Please, Uraraka, I just ate."The brunet used all of her strength to kick him off his own bed and he ended up sprawled on the floor, looking at the ceiling and laughing along the brunet.No offense, but Uraraka is like his sister and he doesn't want to have a baby with his sister, thank you very much. At night, Izuku was finally on his bed, ready to go to sleep and mentally prepare himself for the race tomorrow. But all he could think about was Kacchan. It was always Kacchan. It would always be Kacchan. As he closed his eyes, he started remembering that one time in the forest, a couple of weeks ago.
*Flashback*
Izuku was inside his home, gathering various things and putting them into a bag. He slings the bag over his shoulder and heads outside, towards the forest. He walks a fair distance, just a few more minutes and he'll reach his destination.Or that's what Izuku thought before being caught in a net that suddenly lifts him up from the ground and suspends him high. Izuku yelps, having been caught by surprise and not knowing what the hell was going on before he hears laughter coming from somewhere near. Seconds later a tall and strong built Predator comes out of hiding, a shit-eating smile over his face as he watches Izuku hanging from the net."Tell me, Kacchan, is this the method you'll use to catch your future mate? By entrapping them?" he musters all the sass he can while saying that.The Predator shrugs, "I caught you, so I guess it'll work."Izuku has his chin rest on one of the ropes, looking down at his blond friend. "Aren't you a real Prince Charming?"Bakugou dramatically bows, "I try to be.""I can see. Now cut me down!""Mm, I don't know, Deku. You look pretty good up there. Maybe I should let you stay right there.""What?! You can't do that!""Ohh, yes I can."And of course he could. Sometimes Bakugou's need to be the best warrior of his clan made him a little sadist. So yeah, he would be able to leave Izuku hanging trapped in the net if he desired it. Izuku could use his blood to cut through it but it would mean cutting himself and no, thank you. He sharpened his claws last night.While thinking carefully of what he's gonna tell Bakugou next, the Predator looks down at the ground at the bag that Izuku had been carrying and dropped when he got caught on Kacchan's net.Bakugou smirked, "What'd you got here?"Izuku snapped out of his trance and when he saw what he was talking about, his eyes widened, "No, Kacchan! Let go! Don't!"But the Predator was not going to follow orders from a Xenomorph, especially Deku. He kneeled in front of the bag and opened it, roaming inside only to find that it contained books.'Nerd' he thought.He grabbed one of the books and looked at the cover and that's when shit hit the fan.
"Interspecies relationships"
What? Why was Deku reading this? He grabbed the next book and his red eyes widened.
"Interspecies compatibility"
Okay, this can't get any weirder. Oh, he was wrong.
"Inter-species sex & pregnancy"
By the look on Bakugou's face, that was definitely not what he had thought he would find, Izuku thought.The Xenomorph could only cover his flaming face with his hands because he was the last person he wanted to found those books on his possession."So... What you got here, Deku?""I was gonna return them to the library! There's where I was going before you entrapped me!"That was not what Bakugou had meant and they both knew it. Thankfully, Bakugou seemed to have mercy on him today and let it go."At what time does the library close?""Around 5 o'clock, why?""Then you better hurry." and taking out a blade from his pants, he swiftly cuts the rope that was holding the net up and Izuku goes down with a screech.
*Flashback ends*
'That ass!' Izuku growls internally after remembering how that day ended. 'He cut the rope and I fell on my ass! And he laughed! Uggh! Also, I couldn't look at his face for the next two days because of what he knew. He saw the books and he must've known that my heat was closer and about the Heat race.'Izuku rolled on his side and closed his eyes, trying not to think about that. Kacchan didn't brought up the topic so maybe I should just forget it. The Heat race had started and Izuku was doing all he could do to not get caught. He ran as far as he could, knowing that the other Xenomorphs would end up getting caught before him, that giving him a leverage because that way it wouldn't be many facehuggers after him. And he could take a few. He thought of hiding somewhere in the forest, but the facehuggers can feel the change in temperature and they would find him, so that's not an option.It's been maybe two hours since the race started, and he doesn't know how much longer he can keep up. Sure, he stops for short periods of time to take a breath and then continue running. That was his only choice against facehuggers: Run.And Although Izuku had good stamina, he was starting to get tired, since he hadn't eaten anything since before the race started. He hadn't been able to eat because he had been worried about the race.Uraraka had tried to calm him down, but what does she know? She's gonna mate with the guy she likes, she doesn't have Izuku's problem.Sighing, Izuku continued running until he found a small place with logs around it. Maybe he could sit down for a minute and rest. He can't sense anything out of the normal nor catch an unusual scent, so he's okay.Izuku sat on one of the logs, bringing a hand to touch the curls underneath the hood. They were damp. After this he's gonna go back home and take a shower with hot water. Like, really hot water, just like he likes it.He wonders how many fellow Xenomorphs had already been caught and if they were caught by the facehugger of the person they wanted? Or maybe they were caught and had to deal with it? Izuku doesn't want that for him.Even deep in his thoughts, he clearly as water hears some rustling. He stands up, looking around the trees and trying to smell the air around for any signs of potential predators -and no, not only those ones.The forest is in complete silence, nothing out of place when suddenly and out of nowhere, he sees a facehugger jumping mid-air, spreading its eight finger-like appendages, ready to jump right onto Izuku's face."NO!"Izuku manages to avoid it directly, throwing himself to the ground just as the facehugger flies past him and falls to the ground too.Izuku quickly crawls behind a log and tries to watch the creature so he knows what to do next. He can't see anything except for the blur before he sees the facehugger crawling towards him.He yells and covers his face as he feels it crawling over his legs and about to pounce but he jumps again, using his tail to throw the creature away once more.He stands up, eyes wide open to look around in search for movement.The creature is quick: it crawls rapidly towards Izuku and jumps aiming to his face, but the Xenomorph manages to use a big chunk of tree bark to stop the attack, successfully keeping it away until the creature swings its long tail and wraps it around Izuku's neck.The tight hold it applies almost makes Izuku waver but he doesn't. He can't use one of his hands to attempt to take the tail off; he has to keep the facehugger at a certain distance and away from his face.Izuku wants to scream for help but he can't. Not with that tail blocking his oxygen. Soon he's not going to be able to overpower the facehugger and it will jump onto his face and do its job. He knows that any attempts to remove the Facehugger result in the parasite tightening its tail around the person's neck, making it impossible to breathe but...He can't let this thing touch him! He can't, he can't!Izuku starts feeling his arms trembling and knows that soon they're going to give out. He already fell on his knees, the tight grip on his neck being too much to keep him standing.Desperation and sadness fills him as he closes his eyes as tears start going down his cheeks, accepting what's to come but not going down so easily. No. If that thing wants him, its gonna have to break through the bark and get him because Izuku is not gonna pull his arms down until the last second.He's ready to accept whatever is to come when suddenly he feels the facehugger's tail being roughly pulled off him and he can breathe again; his eyes open wide in time to see Bakugou throwing the facehugger away. It bounces on the earth, ready to pounce again but Bakugou pull out his Plasma Cannon and shoots at the facehugger, completely destroying it."Kacchan!"And then he's being pulled up and thrown over Bakugou's shoulder, still shocked by all of this. The Predator starts running after hearing some rustling around them."Fuck this shit!"Being carried by Bakugou on his shoulder was not how Izuku expected this day to go. He got caught by a facehugger and almost got impregnated by it, if not by Bakugou saving him. They continue running, Bakugou with a knife on his right hand and always on alert in case another facehuggers jumps out of nowhere.Once they're at a safe distance, Bakugou put him down on top of a log and immediately kneels in front of him and starts touching his face and neck, searching for wounds."Are you alright? You're not hurt, are you?"As soon as he finishes saying that, his right hand touches the small gush that Izuku had on his neck and his blood touches his bare hand."FUCK!" Bakugou stands back, clutching his hand to his chest as he continues to curse in his native tongue."Sorry! Sorry!"Acidic blood. A highly corrosive substance that runs inside every Xenomorph, including Izuku.Blush flooding his face with embarrassment, Izuku tries to apologize to the man that saved him -because Xenomorphs are immune to their own acid, and that's why Izuku didn't felt anything- but the other just shushed him.Bakugou took a deep breath and looked down at his hand. There was a reddish spot on the back of his right hand, close to his thumb. At least it didn't penetrate more enough to make a whole in his hand. He should've kept the gloves on.The asher Predator takes out a knife from his belt and cuts his left palm until blood pours out. He lets the blood fall over the wounded area of his right hand. Izuku watches marveled. He heard somewhere that Predator blood itself is also known to be able to partially neutralize the acidity of Alien blood.Now he's just happy that it wasn't a serious wound.Once the other is over, Izuku looks down at his clawed hands. Now what? Will Kacchan leave? What was he doing in the forest while the race was on?"I didn't interrupt, right?"Now that was unusual. Izuku turns to look at him. What?"I mean, you seemed to not want that fucker to touch you but maybe I jumped into conclusions to quick?""No, no! No, you were..." he clears his throat, "you were right. Thanks. I, uh, I didn't want that.""Then what were you doing out in the woods? In the middle of a Heat race? Do you wanna have a kid so bad?!"Oookay, now that just made Izuku's switch flip."So what if I did?! Mm?!"Incredible that Izuku could make someone like Bakugou gape."If you had gotten one minute late, I would've been already impregnated! A kid would be forming right here!" he made his point at cupping his lower belly with both hands. "Right here!""I bet you didn't even know whose it was! Or maybe you don't care? Just want a baby so desperately that you would accept it from any other fucker?! Maybe even Round Face! Or Glasses! Who knows?!"Okay, that's enough.Izuku, feeling his face completely red from either embarrassment or anger, huffs and turns around, walking towards the other direction they came from. He jumps the big rock on his way, tail swinging in the air as he turns to look at Bakugou one more time,"Goodbye, Katsuki. I curse the day you came into my life."And with that he turned around and continued his path. Izuku continued stomping his way back to the forest angry- no, he was fuming! How dare Bakugou tell him about his reproductive life? About the fact that he wanted to have a kid -although that's not the reason he was in the heat race. He practically called Izuku a slut! And he had wanted a baby? Of that jerk?!Izuku shook his head, cursing in his native tongue at that stupid Predator. No wonder their species didn't used to get along!Anyways, who would want to mate with someone like Bakugou Katsuki? He was arrogant, believed that only his opinion is the one that matters, looked at the others down. He's also... very good looking. With those smoldering crimson eyes and his spikey ash hair... and that built body that every Predator must have, but he really did a number on those arms. He was highly intelligent, funny in his own twisted way, kind when he wants to.But all those things don't matter because no matter how much Izuku feels something for him and miraculously Bakugou would feel the same... Their species aren't compatible. So there's no chance of them ever having a kid together.Geez, what a heartbreak.Izuku is so deep in his own sorrow that he doesn't notice that someone was following, approaching him until it was too late to turn tail and run.The Xenomorph stops in his tracks and watches as three Predators come out from the bushes. But not normal Predators: these were some rogue Predators! Crap! They didn't obey the rules and did whatever they wanted.Izuku took a step back and calculated his options. He could stay and see what they wanted. Or he could try to run as far as he can, avoiding both the Predators and the facehuggers who must still be out there. He could also fight but it was three against one, and those guys surely played dirty.Apparently in this situation his only choice was to run. Looking around at the exits he had, Izuku tried to make a run but the Predators moved before he did.One of them blocked his path, and the other two stayed behind him.Izuku hisses, followed by a series of shrieks that were his native tongue but the Predators didn't leave.One of them got closer and Izuku used his tail to trip him, but the bastard grabbed his tail and attempted to cut it. He only managed to make a cut not too deep but enough for it to start bleeding. Izuku moved his tail all around, blood splattering against one of the Predator's armor and started melting it.The Predator immediately took it off and threw it to the ground, watching as it dissolved by the acid.The other Predator, apparently getting tired of this, took out his Netgun and pointed it right at Izuku.The Xenomorph knew he had to run now.As Izuku turned around and prepared to run like hell, the Predator pulled the trigger, firing a wire net at great velocity and trapping Izuku within the net.Usually a net wouldn't be able to trap a Xenomorph, not even a metallic one, but this net was different: once attached to a surface or wrapped around a target it will automatically tighten, carving into the flesh of anything caught inside. In this case, Izuku.The Xenomorph tried to push against the net but it was futile. He could feel it getting tighter each passing moment and he didn't know what to do.Just as one of the Predators took a step forward, preparing his Plasma canon, the Predator on his right was blasted by a canon attack. All of them, Izuku included, turned their heads to see Bakugou coming out from behind the bushes as he deactivated his invisibility mechanism.Bakugou immediately went to the leader and sucker punched him right on the face; he hit so hard that the mask fell down. The rouge Predator turned his head to look at Bakugou and spread his mandibles, hissing at the blond Predator.It was difficult to see what kind of face Bakugou, with his mask still on, was making.The other rouge Predator quickly went behind Bakugou but he had already anticipated it and was able to evade his attack with a blade.Meanwhile, the constricting net started carving into Izuku's hood and slicing a grid of wounds over it. Izuku was screaming in pain as his acidic blood was flowing through the net.Bakugou threw the Predator to the ground and turned to Izuku, taking out a blade in an attempt to cut the wire net but he was attacked by the back for the leader, mandible still open in the air, and putting a muzzle over Bakugou's face on top of his mask. That thing was only going to make it difficult to breathe and it was heavy.The other Predator grabbed some wire like the one on the net and while the leader kept holding the muzzle from behind Bakugou -still on his back-, he wrapped it around Bakugou's wrists, tying them together and rendering impossible to use them.Even behind the mask, Izuku could hear him growl.Bakugou headbutted the leader, making him let go of him and fall, and then he kicked the one who wrapped the wire right in the stomach, hard enough to make him go down on the ground. He kicked him once more to make sure that he stayed on the ground when he heard something coming from behind. Turning around he found the rouge leader holding a Speargun and pointing it at Bakugou. Those things launch projectiles like razor-sharps with enough force to shatter stone.The wounds also caused Izuku's acid blood to dissolve the net and allowed the Xenomorph to escape. Once freed, he ran to stand in front of Bakugou, hissing again and throwing his blood at the Predators. Once the Predators saw the Xenomorph taking out his inner jaw and threatening with his blood, the leader Predator lowered the Speargun; that weapon couldn't penetrate Xenomorph's skin.They took the body of their unconscious comrade and left, disappearing into the forest.After he was sure that they wouldn't be coming back, Izuku turned to Bakugou,"Kacchan!"Izuku went down to the ground and helped the other get back on his feet."Come on, let's go to my house." Back in Izuku's house, the two of them were over the greenette's room, with Bakugou sitting on the edge of the bed as Izuku roamed inside his drawers to find his first-aid kit. His own wounds were still healing but they didn't hurt anymore. Also, there was no more blood dripping, so phew~ But Kacchan had been hurt a little during his fight with the rouges, so he wanted to take care of that first."Those imbeciles... Using their weapons against their own species. How can they do that?"Izuku expected to hear a retort but only silence came. Huh, that's weird. Usually Kacchan has something to say.He looks behind to Bakugou. Oh, right! He was still muzzled.The Xenomorph kneels in front of Bakugou on the bed, pouring something over the cloth on his hand so he could clean the wounds. Once done, he smiles to himself and lifts his head to face the front and finds his face inches away from Bakugou's.Even with his mask on, Izuku can't help but to think that those red eyes are surely looking straight at him. This close he can see the marks and scratches on the metal, surely from past fights. His arms and torso are the same, Izuku knows -he's seen Kacchan without his armor and his eyes had roamed shamelessly over that perfectly fit torso many many times.It's been maybe a minute since they found facing each other but neither had moved yet.Gulping, Izuku used the cloth to wipe the blood stains from the mask and when he reached the muzzle, his hand stopped. He was still close to Bakugou's face and wonders if the muzzle hurts him, even under the mask, so without thinking he moves forward but his lips touch the metal from his mask.
'It's cold.'
"It's cold." he says aloud.Bakugou moves his bound hands from up and down several times, apparently trying to reach his mouth."I'll do it for you... i-if that's what you want."The blond Predator doesn't move or say anything, and Izuku takes it as a good signal. He get closer so their faces are right in front of the other.Izuku's hands touch the Predator's face, and long clawed fingers touch his cheeks. He lets his fingers move until they're behind the muzzle they put on the ash blond. It's a little tricky finding the clasp and once he has it, he only needs to pull a few times for it to pull off.The heavy thing falls on the floor where it cracks.Now without the muzzle, Bakugou is free to take off his mask. Izuku brings his hands to each side of the Predator's face and starts slowly removing the mask so he can see Bakugou's face. Red piercing eyes look right back at emerald ones. There's black coal smudged around his eyes.Izuku's hands move on their own, they're moving towards Bakugou's face -real, unmasked face- and even though the blond growls in warning, the greenette touches softly the other's cheek. It's a surprise for both of them, Izuku having expected to feel rough skin and Bakugou because he wasn't expecting such gentleness coming from a rival species.Izuku allows his fingers -minding his claws- to touch the other's cheeks, going up to where his eyes are and down to his chin and then he realizes that there's something over the blond's mouth. It's like he's pouting and- Oh. Izuku realized what is that.Bakugou was trying to not move because he didn't want to show him his arthropod-like mandibles. Maybe shame?But hey, if Izuku is standing in front of him in nothing but his exoskeleton and his weird smooth carapace hood, he should at show him his face correctly.He brings on hand up and to the Predator's hair and gives it a tug. Only a grunt comes out.Izuku is not one to coward down from a challenge, so he tries it again, only this time he pulls harder enough to almost rip some hair from the Predator's head and a loud snarl is directed at him, mandibles out in the open and snarling at Izuku.Wow. They're... beautiful.Izuku tries it again as soon as his heart stops jumping, this time not feeling any kind of fear.Bakugou just observes.Izuku reaches to Bakugou's face again and touches his face again, slowly caressing the lines around the mandibles and even daring to touch one from the inside. He looks up at Bakugou's eyes and finds them looking at him.Izuku feels a little light in the head and self-conscious about what he's doing but he doesn't care. Not right now when he's so close to Kacchan and the other isn't doing anything to stop him.With one hand still caressing the Predator's cheek, swallowing slowly, Izuku takes a step forward and dares to plant a chaste kiss on the Predator's mandible, eyes closed and cheeks flushed, before taking a step back and wait.Izuku is not the only one that had a lot on their mind right now.Bakugou is the same. Izuku was only going to take the muzzle and then... why did he wanted to remove the muzzle? He had kissed the muzzle and then he wanted the muzzle out of the way to what?He kissed his mandible!! No one had ever done that before. No one.Bakugou didn't say anything,Izuku looked down at his own hands, rubbing his knuckles and then his wrists when an idea came to mind but he wasn't sure if Kacchan would want to.Might as well try."I can... I can take it off... but it'll hurt."Bakugou seemed to understand what his idea was because he immediately gave a curt nod."Do it."Nodding, Izuku gently took out Bakugou's blade from his utility belt and brought his tail closer. He held the blade over his tail where his wound had started to already heal and dug it deeper. He suppressed the wince and waited until blood started pouring; he tilted his tail downwards and watched as droplets fell and started burning the Predator's hands and wrists together with the wires.Bakugou hissed as he felt the acidic blood dissolving the wires but also scorching his skin. He could take it; he's had worse.It only took a couple more of blood droplets before the wire gave in, finally setting Bakugou free.Before Izuku could take his hands and check the damage done, Bakugou cupped his face on his hands and brought him forward until their lips were pressed together. Their lips tingle as they move against each other and both their eyes are closed.Izuku's hands were still trapped between their chests when the Xenomorph pressed harder into the kiss.They separated, Izuku only noticed when he felt Bakugou's hands leaving his face and he opened his eyes.What the hell just happened?
Damn, his heat! He wasn't thinking straight! He should've pushed Kacchan as soon as their lips touched, not press harder!
But what his brain hadn't processed yet was that it had been Bakugou the one that kissed him.The Predator took Izuku's silence and panicked face as a bad sign, knowing that he had done something bad and was about to leave the house before everything went worse."I guess I was wrong."Izuku's eyes widened because 'No, no, no! It's not that he doesn't want to, it's because he thought Kacchan hadn't wanted it!'Just as Bakugou went to stand up, Izuku mustered all his courage and, cupping Bakugou's face he brought it forwards until their lips touched again.Izuku's hands moved so they were tangled on the hair behind Bakugou's neck, his claws feeling the one dreadlock the Predator liked to wear. The hot sensation came back to make all of his body tingle, and suddenly Bakugou's skin against his burned but at the same time he didn't want him to take his hands away."I don't curse the day you came into my life. I don't, I don't."Seconds later Bakugou's hands moved to the greenette's back and they reached his lower back, holding him close.Izuku couldn't help but to gasp in the kiss but soon felt a rush of confidence hit him and he proceeded to kiss the Predator's jaw. The Predator made a strange noise coming from his throat; that made Izuku pant over his ear and he couldn't help pant again when he felt Bakugou press his nose over his neck, right over his pulse, and inhale deeply. The sensation was almost orgasmic.He managed to unlock his lips from the blond's, enough for him to breathe "Kacchan."Bakugou hummed in response."I-I'm in heat...""I know."Bakugou grabbed one of Izuku's arms and started kissing it all, from the tip of his claws to his shoulders."It's not... not safe if something happens and... and..." the pleasure was blurring his judgment.Bakugou stopped at his collarbone, "It's okay. We're not compatible, right?"Ow, he might not mean it like that but it still hurt."No.""So? Please just let me... Let me have this. Just once." he bites Izuku's collarbone, making the Xenomorph dig his claws behind his back and mewl. "Just this once, Izuku."Izuku stared at the man in front of him, devouring him with his piercing red eyes and for the first time in his life, Izuku wanted to be devoured. He cupped Bakugou's handsome face and brought it closer to his lips as they went backwards on the bed.
"Katsuki."
Besides, their species weren't compatible, right? It's been almost a week since the Heat race and everything went back to normal. Well, almost everything. Uraraka already had her firstborn with Iida and Izuku couldn't be happier for her. She was his best friend after all. A couple of his other friends had kids of their own, thanks to the Heat race.Izuku? He ended up with a mate.If you could consider Predator Bakugou Katsuki a mate.After their night together during Izuku's heat, they didn't spoke for two days. It felt kind of weird, and Izuku thought that it was all because he had been in heat and Bakugou had wanted to help. Not because he felt the same for Izuku.And although Izuku was totally fine with that, it was still awkward to watch Kacchan going with a hunting party to the forest and remembering those hands roaming through his exoskeleton and kissing that mandible with such care that even Bakugou's face flushed.He couldn't watch him train without his armor because he could see the claw marks he left on his naked back as the Predator thrusted roughly into his body.There was a scorch mark right under his rhomboids and that was totally Izuku's fault. During their mating, he had his hands holding onto Bakugou's back and he didn't want to keep clawing at his partner's back so instead he choose to close his hands and claw at his own palms but it had been too deep that blood sprouted and unfortunately spilled over Bakugou's back.Bakugou hissed because of that but thrusted deeper. He then grabbed Izuku's hands and pinned them on each side of his head on the bed, then he intertwined their hands while enduring the acidic blood burning his palms as they continued moving together.But after the second day came to an end, he was approached by Bakugou in the forest as he was hunting. The Predator, with his mask on, approached Izuku until he was standing in front of him, keeping quiet.Izuku didn't know what he wanted but he pulled up his hood -since when Xenomorphs hunt they must lower their hoods until it covers their eyes; they can see perfectly through it- and waited. His tail was moving from one side to the other nervously.Bakugou took out a blade and for a moment Izuku positioned himself in defense mode and hissed.The Predator didn't seem to mind that reaction; he continued with what he was gonna do. Bringing the blade up and behind his head, Izuku was confused as to what the blond was doing when he saw Bakugou cutting something.Izuku frowned in confusion.Bakugou brought his hand and whatever he was holding in it forward, towards Izuku. He stood still, arm stretched forward so Izuku could grab what was in his hand.Izuku took a step closer and held his palm out. The Predator put whatever it was on his palm and took a step back. Izuku looked down and saw Bakugou's blond dreadlock on his palm. All Predators were known to have one single dreadlock at the back of their heads. In their species, they would generally give it to someone whom they considered a mate or wanted to mate with.And Bakugou just gave his to Izuku, which means...Izuku's face turned impossibly red. Was this really happening? What-what-what?! Did he just...? Is he really...? With him?!Bakugou seemed to be waiting for an answer, anything, not just Izuku internally panicking.The Xenomorph, feeling his heart trying to jump out of his chest, brought the dreadlock closed in his hands and pressed it against his chest, his cheek flaming and his eyes shining like jewels.
"Yes."
Izuku hoped that Bakugou understood what he meant with that but he couldn't look at Bakugou's face because of the mask and that bothered him, especially now that he needed to see what kind of face Bakugou was making, so he approached the Predator and carefully took off his mask.Izuku smiled so brightly that Bakugou thought that he might need to put his mask back on if he wanted to protect his eyes.Izuku moved to the right so he was standing at one side of Bakugou, who didn't understand what he was doing. Izuku just smiled and moved his face closer while cupping Bakugou's face.Just when Bakugou thought that Izuku was going to kiss his cheek... he was not wrong at all. But it was going to be... different from what he imagined.Izuku was close enough when he took out his inner jaw and used it to plant a kiss over the Predator's cheek.This was... different, he knew that. He just wanted to try it at least once.Once he's done, he takes a step back as he puts his inner jaw back inside. He goes to move backwards again when a hand grabs him by the arm to stop him.He looks at Bakugou's face and he seems... determined. Like when he's training or hunting: he wants something and he always gets what he wants.Bakugou turned so they were facing each other, his hands grabbing Izuku by the waist, holding him in place. Without uttering a single word he leaned forward going for a kiss but instead of a normal kiss, he decided to try what Izuku did moments ago.Breathing deeply, he allowed his mandibles part, revealing a set of sharp fangs.Izuku got closer and while closing his eyes he pressed his lips against the inner set of fangs. The grip on his waist got tighter, which means that Kacchan must be feeling good.He took a step back, separating from the kiss and watching Bakugou with attention. The Predator hadn't closed his mandibles; in fact, he was clicking his mandibles together.Izuku knew that mandibles clicking together can signify interest or curiosity and he couldn't help but to grin."You're such a dork, Yautja.""Alien."Izuku smiled, wrapping his arms around the other's neck, "Predator."Bakugou kept his hands over Izuku's waist, rubbing circles. "Xenomorph.""Katsuki.""Izuku."They kissed again, but this time with their normal mouths. The next days were simply great. Uraraka had her child born -everyone could hear her screams the night the baby was coming. Anyone would scream bloody murder if something erupted from inside your chest.Izuku was so happy for his friends, he really was. They were lucky to have each other and now they had a baby to complete their family.Izuku himself was happy with Kacchan, even if they were different species. That didn't matter to them. And it's just been a couple of days since they started going out, so there's still time to get used to you mate's habits, like Kacchan clicking his mandible when he thinks Izuku isn't watching. Or Izuku trying to kiss Kacchan with his inner jaw while in public. The Predator wasn't so happy about his friends teasing him about it.Almost a week since his heat and all that, and a lot has already happen.Izuku was in his room, sitting on his desk chair and looking down at the ashy blond dreadlock. He was running it with his finger, remembering the moment when Kacchan gave it to him and he found himself smiling at the memory.Suddenly, Izuku felt this warm feeling in his lower chest; it stung a little but it was manageable, so he ignored it and continued looking at the dreadlock. A moment later the pain came back and he was standing up from the chair, holding his hand over his chest.It was that moment when the door of his room opened and Kacchan entered the room. He looked at his mate holding his chest while his face was pulled in pain.Izuku began feeling short of breath, and the tightness in his chest getting worse.Bakugou frowned at his mate's unusual attitude.Izuku felt a hammering in his sternum, or was that his heart beating its way out of him? No, it couldn't be that. The feeling of weight on his chest began to increase, his breath quickening and his head aching.He started backing away and Bakugou quickly helped him get to the bed and lie down on it.Slowing his breathing and calming his rapid breathing seemed to help with the pain a little, but a spike of pain, so great that words fail to do it justice, suddenly overcame him that he had to scream. Thrashing over his bed, his claw holding on the sheets, agony coursed through Izuku's veins and he didn't know what do to or how to stop it.Bakugou didn't know what do to to help him. What was going on with Izuku?Quickly and not losing any more time, Bakugou puts on his Bio-Mask and access to the thermal vision and then changing to the breathing apparatus and diagnostics. He starts scanning Izuku's chest cavity and stops when he sees something inside the Xenomorph's body. Something... small and writhing inside.Another spike of intense pain jolted Izuku, arms straining against the hold on the sheets. He can feel it, in his chest. He can't hold it anymore!Izuku screams in pain as his sternum is forcibly broken and a chestburster erupts from his chest. He lets his head sag, body going lip and breathing heavily for a moment. Blood splattering over his hands and around his chest cavity, and Izuku could only stare at the small beige Alien-like creature with a mouth of metallic teeth and a tail wrapping around itself. Izuku knows what a chestburster is: they're the infant stage of the Xenomorphs, right after being given life but he's not sure why one just bursted out of him.With his blood-coated hands still trembling, he looked over at Bakugou and found the Predator slowly removing his mask to stare at the creature over Izuku's chest.Aside the metallic teeth, Bakugou noticed it had external mandibles due to its Predator heritage, and once it turned around to look at Bakugou it let out a screeching sound.A hybrid, half Predator and half Alien.A Predalien.
