Chapter Text
"dos-kun- I think we uhm, have a problem!" stated nikolai, who is currently holding onto a railing to keep from being sucked into a portal.
"I noticed." deadpanned fyodor, who is currently being held by nikolai as he did not get to the railing fast enough.
how they got in this situation? let's recap a bit.
30 minutes prior.
"fedya, can I kill this guy? he's yapping too much!" nikolai exclaimed, poking a man's cheek with a knife.
"not yet kolya, we need him to speak." fyodor said, looking through files with his back turned.
"p-please!! i-i have a family.. a w-wife and two k-kids.. let me go!" the man, who is tied to a chair in the middle of the office, wailed.
"oh but we're having so much fun! aren't we?" nikolai giggled. fyodor ignored his antics, opting to focus on the files.
"i-i don't know *hic* anything! I'm j-just a cleaner.." the man cried, then his body started shaking.
"hah! are you really having a breakdown?" nikolai joked.
fyodor suddenly had an unsettling feeling. he walked over to the man, and when he got closer he could hear him grunting and trying to form words that only came out as gurgles.
"dos-kun? what's happening to him?" nikolai asked, peering down at the curled up man. "is he dying? awh but I want to play with him more!" he pouted.
then the man's body started twisting unnaturally. it started to take the form of something.
"fedya? whats-" nikolai was cut off by the explosion of blood that coated nearly everything. the man had finally taken shape of.. a portal?
the portal swirled a stunning ruby red colour, and fyodor felt a slight tug from it.
"I think it's.. pulling us in?" nikolai guessed, and walked over to the pole railing at the end of the room. fyodor followed shortly behind. however, when nikolai grabbed the pole, the pull suddenly strengthened tenfold. nikolai grabbed fyodors wrist, and held on tight.
present time.
as they held on, the pull became faster and faster to the point it felt like they were being sucked into a black hole.
"i-i think I have to let go!-" nikolai yelled over the sound of the portal. fyodor would usually disagree, but at this point he felt like he was being ripped limb from limb.
he grabbed nikolais wrist with all his strength, and nikolai did the same.
and then let go of the pole.
and then they were falling.
they were spat out of the portal around 9 ft of the ground, and fell onto hard concrete. they landed in fetal position, holding each other's hands like if one let go the other would spontaneously disappear.
they looked like they came straight out of a horror movie. scrapes from falling onto the concrete, covered in blood from the man's explosion and shaking due to their body's finally being able to relax.
"dos-kun? what the hell just happened?" nikolai giggled. fyodor looked into his eyes, and then rolled onto his back. he still held onto one of nikolais hands like a vice.
"I believe that man's ability activated due to his hightened emotions. such an unfortunate ability however, because he is no longer around to use it." fyodor sighed, and shut his eyes to begin thinking of a solution.
nikolai hummed, and held up his coats end corner. he leaned over fyodor, and wiped his blood covered face gently.
fyodor opened his eyes when he finished and looked at him, puzzled. "we can't be covered in blood in some random alleyway, if someone saw us we'd look like insane people!" said the very obviously insane man.
"ah, that is true." fyodor nodded, and closed his eyes again.
then they both heard it. footsteps, belonging to someone who has obviously had training to make them quieter than usual. nikolai wipes his face quickly, and fyodor sits up.
the man rounds the corner, not identifiable due to the darkness of alleyways at night. he stalks up to them, holding a.. scarf? around his neck.
nikolai discretely puts his hand into his overcoat and pulls out a knife which he tucks into his waist band, just in case.
"hello? what are you two doing in an alleyway covered in blood splatters?.." the man asks.
"согласен со всем, что я говорю, Коля." fyodor whispered to nikolai, who nodded.
"we don't know.. I can't remember anything before we got here.. all I know is that me and kolya were out, and we suddenly showed up here.." he half-lied. nikolai nodded, and looks up at the man.
"who are you?.." he asks. the man sighs and walks closer. "you first, how old are you two and what are your names?"
"my name is fyodor dostoevsky and I am 17.." he lied, hoping he would get away with it. nikolai looked at him confused, and fyodor just stared at him.
"my name is nikolai gogol.. and I'm 17 also." he said, turning back to the man.
"thank you, one more question. what are your quirks?" he asked, and fyodor stared at him blankly until humming.
"kolyas is simple teleportation, he can only teleport small items. I do not have one." he stated blankly. the mysterious man's breath hitches for a second, and then he grunts.
"thank you, now how about you two come with me so I can help understand your situation a little better." the man said. "but sir, you didn't answer our questions." fyodor reminded.
"oh.. sorry." the man rubbed the back of his head. "my name is aizawa shouta, and my quirk is the power to nullify other people's quirks via eye contact when mine is activated." fyodor chuckles at his quirk, and aizawa looks at him suspiciously.
"sorry, it just reminded me of an old friend." fyodor explained. nikolai caught on at that point and giggled.
"o-kay... well, would you two please come with me?" aizawa said. nikolai nodded and pulled up fyodor as he stood. they walked hand in hand around a foot behind aizawa.
"I'm going to take you to ua, recovery girl should be able to patch up any wounds you guys have and I will also be able to question you further there. despite it being night time, many heroes stay behind for reasons unknown." he sighed. "anyway, one of them should be able to help question you." he finished.
fyodor hummed, and nikolai just whistled a tune quietly as they walked.
they eventually made it to ua, and aizawa took them to the nurses office. he sat them on a bed and told them to wait while he goes to get recovery girl.
"soo~ any idea what this place is? also, what the hells a quirk?" nikolai smiled at fyodor, who just smirked slightly.
"we are in a different universe, quirks are basically watered down and handicapped abilitys. heroes are basically the ada of this universe, and I'm guessing we would be labelled "villains"." fyodor chuckled.
nikolai stared at him blankly, and then burst out laughing. "seriously!? it's like a comic book!" he cackled.
fyodor chuckled, and shushed nikolai. "not too loud kolya, we need more info so we have to behave." nikolai whined playfully, and clung to fyodors arm.
"but fedya!~ can't a guy have a little fun?~" he whined, pouting. "after we find a way home, okay kolya?" fyodor consoled, and nikolai nodded excitedly.
aizawa came back to nikolai practically clinging to fyodor. he sighed, shook his head, and went to sit in the corner.
an old lady walked in with a cane, gasping at the sight of them. "oh dear, is that your blood?.." she asks, concerned. "I don't think so? we don't remember." fyodor answered.
"let me check." she says, going to touch fyodor when he suddenly flinched back. "oh, your okay dearie. I won't hurt you, my names recovery girl and my quirk heals people." she reassures him, but it doesn't work.
"uh, recovery lady.. fedya doesn't like people touching him." nikolai smiled, menacingly as if to warn her to back off.
she stared at nikolai clinging to his arm, and nikolai locked his head as if to ask 'what? got something to say?'.
she sighed, and turned to nikolai. "am I allowed to check you?" she asks, and he hums in thought. "hmm, no! don't feel like it." he giggled.
she shakes her head and turns to aizawa. "you can either take them in, or send them to foster care. you will have to decide now, because they need a home to shower in before doing anything." she stated, walking out of the room.
he turns to nikolai and fyodor, who look at him with big wide eyes.
aizawa groaned as they sat in his car, getting his seats dirty with blood that may or may not even be theirs.
"so, mister, do you have a wife?" nikolai asks, and aizawa shakes his head as he starts the car.
"I have a husband." he says, driving out of a parking lot. nikolai hums.
fyodor is quiet, quieter than usual. nikolai looks over to see him sound asleep, breathing softly. he giggles, and wraps his coat around him as a makeshift blanket.
the car hits a pothole and fyodor falls onto nikolais shoulder, and nikolai smiles as he leans his head against fyodors.
aizawa turns the corner around a block before his apartment, looking in the mirror to check on fyodor and nikolai. they're asleep, resting against each other. it would look like a cute wholesome moment if they weren't both covered in around a gallon off blood.
as he turned in to his apartments drive way, he woke up the two boys sleeping in his backseat. "hey kids, wake up. we're here." he said, loud enough to wake nikolai up.
nikolai woke up with a load groan, and shook fyodor awake. fyodor rubbed his eyes and looked up at aizawa. "now," aizawa started "there are some rules. one, do not be too loud. I already have to deal with a loud man in my house 24/7, so I don't need two more. 2, no sneaking out. we are both pros, so we will catch you. 3, do not wake me unless it is an emergency. I do night shifts, so I need all the sleep I can get. that should be it, please follow these rules as best as you can for now." he said, and when he turned around to nikolai and fyodor he realised nikolai had fallen asleep again so only fyodor was listening.
he groaned, and got out of the car. fyodor woke nikolai and they followed suite. when they got to the apartment, aizawa opened the door and showed them to the bathroom.
once the door was shut and locked, nikolai turned to face fyodor. "so? what's the plan fedya??" he said, smiling and leaning towards fyodor. "I believe we either need to find that man if he is still alive, make a portal or find someone with an ability like his." fyodor explained to which nikolai whined.
"but that will take forever!" he said, dragging the r. fyodor stared blankly at him, used to his antics.
"anyway, we need to wash this off." he said, turning to the very singular bath tub. he then turned to the second person in this room, who smiled innocently at him. he sighs, and walks over to the tub.
"seems we'll have to share tonight,
hopefully tomorrow we won't." fyodor says as he takes off his coat, to which nikolai does the same.
the bath had filled by the time they got in, but as soon as they got in it went from a clear blue tinted colour to scarlett red. they got out and put on the clothes aizawa lied out for them and walked into the room he had pointed out earlier as the guest room.
as fyodor opened the door, he had realised that there was one bed. he internally groaned again, walking over to it and sitting down.
nikolai shut the door and promptly jumped 6 feet face first into the bed. it caused fyodor to bounce a little, to which nikolai giggled.
he sat up, looking at fyodor hesitating for a second. "what is it?" fyodor asked, waiting for nikolai to spit it out.
"hmm.. I just wanted to know if fyodor could braid my hair?" nikolai asked with a genuine smile. fyodor then realised that his hair was out and caught himself staring at the silver waterfall that covered nikolais back and shoulders. he ripped his gaze away and pointed to the floor. "fine, but you will have to sit on the floor so I can reach better." fyodor said.
nikolai jumped and sat on the floor, his shoulders just above fyodors knees. fyodor began brushing his hair, and eventually began to comb his fingers through it.
"hmm.. you have very nice hair kolya.." fyodor complimented, and nikolai stiffened shortly before relaxing. he turned to look at fyodor, and fyodor looked I'm his eyes. nikolais face was tinted pink and he had a genuine smile on his face. "thank you fedya!~" he giggled, turning back around. fyodor sat there stunned for a second before playing with his hair again. he eventually braided it and put the braid over nikolais shoulder. "all done, it is a bit sloppy due to the fact I have never braided anyone's hair." he said.
"thank you fedya!" nikolai exclaimed, looking up at him from his spot on the floor. he moved after a few seconds, sitting next to fyodor before laying down on the bed next to him.
"say, fedya, do you think it would be a good idea to go to that ua?" nikolai asked, looking up at fyodor. fyodor hummed, nodding. "it will probably give us access to supply's to make a portal or find someone with a quirk like it." fyodor said, laying next to nikolai.
nikolai closed his eyes, and before long he was asleep. fyodor placed a blanket over him, whispering "goodnight, kolya." in his ear before going to sleep himself. nikolai smiled and whispered "goodnight, fedya." before drifting into actual sleep.
