In the court room

The young boy with purple hair sat at the table as his lawyer argued that the boy comes from a broken home so his actions are just a product of his situation.

"Your honor, the defendant is 20 years old. His actions are his own fault not his guardians."said the prosecutor. The guardians that the state assigned to the young boy when his biological parents legally disown their son when he was classified as in middle school.

"Shinso was just trying to survive after being neglected by his guardians. The laws states that any person with a littlespace should remain in their guardian care until an official caregiver is named."said the defense attorney. Hitoshi's guardians would never official name a caregiver for him because they like receiving checks from the state from caring for him. They are the reason he tried to runaway.

"This isn't a case about child/little negligence. This is about fraud which we have the evidence to prove that your client hacked into our system and wired $50 million dollars to himself ."said the prosecutor. Hitoshi glared at the woman. He didn't like her tone of voice. She spoke like he committed murder. It's not like that big company is going to miss that money.

"Your honor, he was in littlespace during that time period. He has a mind of a toddler. He didn't know any better."said the defense attorney. Hitoshi actually retains his intelligence in littlespace but his guardians refuses to acknowledge that. But if it gets him a shorter sentence, he can act dumb.

"Actually, the defendant headspace ranges from 1 yr to 10 yrs old. With a mind of a 10 yrs old anything is possible." the prosecutor argues. Hitoshi resists the urge to eye roll.  He usually in a toddler range headspace. The doctors gave him a higher age range because he is smart in headspace.

"Your honor, I request a break. Shinso needs a potty break."said the defense attorney.

"Request granted."said the judge. Hitoshi's lawyer took him out of the courtroom and to the restroom.

"I don't have to go."Hitoshi states.

"I know. I just need time to think."he said. He starts pacing in the restroom. Hitoshi leaned against a wall. He thinks about what kind of life he could had if he was able to cross the border. He could be sipping on cocktails on a beach or island somewhere. He was so close to leaving his terrible life behind. He was almost there until he got caught because his stupid stole car had expired tags.

"I got an idea. It's will shorten your time but-" Hitoshi interrupted the lawyer.

"I don't care. It gotta better than life in prison."said Hitoshi. His lawyer estimated before the trial that he would get sentenced to a life sentence of 20 years plus another 5 for car theft if the judge is nice. But now that trial is happening, the prosecutor is throwing the book at Hitoshi.

They got back to the courtroom. His lawyer suggests a program that made everyone in the courtroom gasp.

"Your honor, Hitoshi is willing to do the care recovery program for exchange of a shorter sentence."said the lawyer.

"Are you admitting that your client is guilty?"asked the judge. The defense attorney agrees. The judge shrugs. " okay. Shinso Hitoshi is guilty on of fraudulent on a large scale and car theft. I sentenced you for 10 years at Axolotl River Penitentiary. Court dismiss." She adds.

"You really choose that program over regular jail." Said the prosecutor with disapproval. She left the courtroom. Hitoshi turned to his lawyer while the bailiff start approaching him.

"What is that program?"asked Hitoshi.

"It's a program where we pair littles to prisoners who are serving long sentences in hopes to bring a more caring side of the prisoner out."said the lawyer. Hitoshi eye widen when he realized getting a sentence to be under the care of dangerous criminal!

"What?!?"yelled Hitoshi. The lawyer look apologetic as the bailiffs handcuffed Hitoshi.

"Look on the bright side! You will finally have a caregiver."said the lawyer. Hitoshi lunged at him but the bailiffs stopped him.

"Oh fuck you!!!"yelled Hitoshi as the bailiffs dragged him away. Hitoshi yelled cuss word left and right at his lawyer. They walked in out of the courthouse. The press immediately crowd around them.

"Shinso! Do you regret taking the money!?"
"Do you still have the money!?!"
"Why did you choose the care recovery program?"

Shinso ignored as the questions as the bailiffs pushed through the crowd. They placed him the back of a cop car. Hitoshi watch as the city building slowly turned into open fields as the car drove far away from the city. After a long car drive, they arrived at the jail. There were tall fences around the perimeter of the building. The bailiff handed the prisoner to the guards.

"This is a little."said the bailiff. The guards looked annoyed.

"You better not cry or we will give you something to cry about."said the guard to the unfazed Hitoshi. Hitoshi isn't easily intimidated. People always underestimate him because he is a little. It's annoying at times but it's great advantage other times.

The guards took him to intake. They took his height and weight. Then they demanded that Hitoshi strip down as they uncuffed him. Hitoshi begrudgingly got undressed as his felt his ears turned red in embarrassment. It immediately felt cold and shiver as he stood nude in the examination room. Hitoshi cover himself with his hands. As the guards checked every nook and cranny on his body.

"No piercings."said one of the guards. Hitoshi took off his earrings and placed them in a bag. Then a guard gave him light blue prison uniforms and a diaper.

" I am potty trained." Hitoshi stared harshly. He is actually proud that he maintained his potty training in and out of littlespace. Most littles can't say that.

"Don't care. It's a part of your uniform because we ain't cleaning piss off the floor or changing mattress and sheets every time you wet the bed."said  the guard. Hitoshi begrudgingly wear the stupid diaper under his clothes. He tightened the pants around his waist. The shirt and pants were baggy on him.

They took him to get a mugshot and fingerprints did. Then he joined the rest of the incoming prisoners who was waiting in hallway. They were wearing regular blue uniforms so Hitoshi struck out like a sore thumb. They walked in a line out of the intake building and into general population pod. The guard gave each prisoner a bucket of hygiene products. Hitoshi glared at his bucket. His bucket was filled with pacifiers, baby bottles and sippy cups. Hitoshi isn't in littlespace all the time. He would had appreciated that hygiene bucket also. The guard gave each prisoner a cell number to go to.  The prisoner entered one by one. Hitoshi was the last one. The guard personally walked him to the third floor and all the way down the balcony to a cell. The cell was two times bigger than the other cells.

"Bakugou, your little is here." Said the guard. The blonde lying in bed reading look away from his book and roll his eyes. Hitoshi enters the cell. The guard locks behind Hitoshi. Hitoshi observes the room. There was two bed on opposite side of the room. The toilet was on the back corner by his new roommate. On the opposite corner was the sink and mirror. Hitoshi sat on his bed. He immediately hating the mattress. It was very thin and the blanket wasn't thick. It felt like a fitting sheet. Hitoshi hates it hates already.

In prison cell 3A

Hitoshi looks at the beyond the bars and two other cells in his eye sight. Prisoners were napping, exercise or reading to pass the time. Hitoshi wonders what he will do to pass the time. He brainstorm different ideas when he heard a book close. He looks at his new roommate/ temporary caregiver.

"You quiet. Keep it that way. I am only in this ridiculous program so I can a bigger room and more benefits in here. I highly suggest you stay out of headspace in this room because I ain't taking care of you. I am not above knocking your ass out to shut you up. Are we clear?"asked bakugou. Hitoshi nods. He likes those rules. He doesn't want to be littlespace in this place anyway. He can go few weeks without his headspace. So he have few weeks to figure out  a plan go into littlespace.

"Open time!"yelled a guard before cells door open. Prisoners started roaming the different floors. A group of guys entered the cell. They immediately gathered around Hitoshi.

"You are so cute!"said the red haired guy. He attempted to touch Hitoshi face. He immediately slapped his hand.

"Ouch! Bad baby."said the red haired guy. Then a guy with green hair climbed onto Hitoshi bed.

"Hi I am Izuku! It's so nice to meet a fellow little in here!"he said. Hitoshi energy just feels drain listening to him speak.

"I am denki. That's eijiro and shoto."said he said. Hitoshi slowly blinks in hopes that they go away.

"Katsuki, does he not talk?"asked eijiro. Katsuki shrugged.

"Don't know, don't care."said katuski.

"Maybe he just scared!"said denki. He attempted to pet Hitoshi head. Hitoshi grabbed his wrist and twist it. Denki screamed in pain. " let go! Let go!"he yells. Hitoshi twist harder.

"Katsuki, do something!"said eijiro.

"Oh no. Stop."said Katsuki flatly. Izuku bit Hitoshi arm. Hitoshi let go of denki to hissed in pain. He glared at Izuku.

"Izuku! You can't bite people."scolded shoto. Izuku pouts.

"But he was hurting denki."said Izuku.

"Alright extras, take a seat."said katsuki. The guys sat on the floor near Katsuki bed. " report." He states firmly.

"I won two gambling games so we earned $2,000 since yesterday."said Izuku.

"I eliminated those people who was at our table yesterday. Well beside one of them cuz he pretended to be dead."said eijiro. Katsuki gave him a sharp look. " don't worry. He is in coma in the medical ward. I can finish it" he adds.

"The weights for the bench press on the rec is being order as we speak."said denki.

"Lunch is grilled chicken, broccoli,and bread roll." Said shoto.

"Is the new guard on our payroll yet?"asked katsuki.

"Not yet. He is tough cookie to crack."said denki.

"Can I do it?!? Please!!! Please!"asked Izuku.

"No!"said his friends. Izuku starts crying loudly. Shoto took Izuku out of the cell before Katsuki could complain.

"Eijiro, you are in charge of the new guard."said Katsuki. Eijiro nods. Then Katsuki left the cell and his crew followed him. Hitoshi walked out of the cell. He watched as prisoners move out of the way as the crew walked. Hitoshi noticed shoto was comforting Izuku on the staircase. Shoto was hugging Izuku as Izuku pouts. Katsuki walks to them. He says something to shoto that Hitoshi can't hear. Shoto looks up at Hitoshi then at Katsuki and nods. Katsuki and his crew sat the tables. Denki turns the tv on and take the remote from the guard standing nearby.

Shoto and Izuku approach Hitoshi. Izuku is more calm but Hitoshi noticed the playful glint in his eyes that signals that he is littlespace. It's not noticeable to untrained eye. Hitoshi thinks it just thing that littles can tell.

"Kacchan says zuzu has to share my Toto with you."said Izuku. Izuku is definitely in littlespace.

"What's your name?"asked shoto.

"Hitoshi."he said.

"What's your headspace range?"asked shoto.

"Why?"asked Hitoshi.

"Because katsuki isn't going to take care of you. So I am taking care of you."said shoto.

"Until Kacchan kills you."Izuku adds. Hitoshi raised me eyebrow.

"Katsuki is easily annoyed by littles. His littles don't last long. He doesn't kill all his littles. One of them kill themselves."said shoto.

"What is he in for?"asked Hitoshi.

"He is the heir of the mafia boss. Apparently his mother is punishing him with jail time."said shoto.

"Rumor has it thats if Kacchan nice to little for whole year, Kacchan gets to leave. But little never survive that long."said Izuku.

"You will be fine. You are quiet, so you doing good in his book. Now let's take a tour."said shoto. Hitoshi nods. Shoto held Izuku hand as they walk down the walkway and down the stairs.

"We have open cell time which is just social time. But most people uses it as tv time but katsuki controls what's on the tv."said shoto. The tv was currently playing a baking competition. They was past the table area and to the exit of the pod.

"Going for a walk."said shoto to the guard. The guard allow them out of the pod.

"As part of the program, we are have special privileges such as unlimited rec time."said shoto. They walk outside to big field that had tall fences.

"Toto! Zuzu wanna swing!"said Izuku. Shoto walked them to another fenced in area that held a playground. Shoto unlocked it with a key that was around his neck.

"There not many littles in the program so the guards allow the caregivers to have keys to show responsibility."said shoto. Izuku runs to the swing set.

"Toto! Push please!"said Izuku. Shoto pushed Izuku on the swing as he explained the hierarchy within inmates.

"Katsuki is the highest because he got the most connections and can install fear easily. Eijiro and me as second in charge. We help get people in line. Denki is just someone that worm his way into the inner circle. There small gangs within gen pop but everyone knows not bother katsuki with their drama."said shoto.

Izuku got off the swing and then went to play on the slide. Hitoshi looks at shoto.

"How long does he play for?"asked Hitoshi. Shoto shrugs.

"Depends on how much energy he has."said shoto. They watched Izuku play until he thirsty.

"Sorry zuzu. I forgot your sippy cup."said shoto. Izuku pouts. " let's go, get you some water." He adds. He holds Izuku hand. They left the playground and went to back to pod. Katsuki was playing cards with his crew. Hitoshi followed Izuku and shoto to the second floor and to their cell. Their cell look more cozy. Izuku bed was fill with plushies and fluffy blankets. They had a carpet on the floor. Shoto reached in a mini fridge and pull up a cold sippy cup. He gave it to Izuku.

"Hitoshi, want one?"asked shoto. Hitoshi nods. He accepts the sippy cup. The cool water felt good after being outside for awhile. Then they join the crew at the table. Izuku sat on shoto lap. Hitoshi sat next to him and eijiro.

"Zuzu wanna play!" Said Izuku.

"No."said katsuki. Izuku pouts.

"Zuzu, finish your water."said shoto as a distraction. Hitoshi noticed they were playing the card game B.S.

" two 3's"said eijiro.

"Bullshit."said katsuki. Eijiro took the how pile from the center of the table to his hands.

"One 4."said denki.

Hitoshi watched them play two rounds before Katsuki was about to win again but he baiting the table to call bs on him.

"Bro, I felt like he is lying. Ain't no way he placed a 8 down."said eijiro.

"Then call it."said katsuki with a smirk.

"No way. I have too many cards already."said eijiro. Katsuki looked at denki.

"I ain't calling that."said denki. He finally got rid of his massive hand he had already.

"Well, then I w-" Shinso interrupted Katsuki.

"Bullshit."said Hitoshi. The whole table froze at Hitoshi suddenly speech ability. Well except Shoto and Izuku who look shocked that Hitoshi is willing to call out his lie.

"You are not playing."said katsuki.

"Mathematically and statistically, Katsuki didn't place a 8. All the 8 in the deck are in the pile or in eijiro hand." Hitoshi explains.

"Bullshit."said eijiro to katsuki. Eijiro turn over the card that was last placed. It was a 2. Katsuki glared at Hitoshi.

"You shouldn't speak until spoken to, got it?"said Katsuki. Hitoshi raised an eyebrow.

"If you are sore loser, just say that."said Hitoshi. Katsuki reached across the table and choked Hitoshi. Hitoshi look unfazed as he slowly was losing oxygen.

"Don't you dare disobey me, boy. Or I will make the last thing you do."said katsuki. He pushed Hitoshi away. Hitoshi caught his breath. They was about to start a new game when lunch was announced. They line up and walk to the mess hall. They went through the serving line. Lunch was exactly what shoto said it was this morning. The crew gather at a table in the center of the room.

Hitoshi barely ate his food. He blamed his guardians. They feed him the bare minimum while they ate like kings. Hitoshi tighten his grip on his fork as he got angry at the thought that he could be sipping on a cocktails and eating feast fit for king by now. Then he suddenly he heard yelling. He turned around there was two guys arguing. Then one of them punch the other guys. They started having fist fight. The guards were  just standing around watching it. They didn't step in until someone pull out a weapon. The guards dragged the two fighting inmates out of the room.

"Toto, zuzu want another banana."said Izuku.

"Go get one".said shoto as he sip on his water. Izuku pouts.

"Toto gotta go too!"said Izuku. Shoto nods. They got went to the serving line to get another banana. They skipped the line to reach the fruit section. Hitoshi assumed it another privilege.

At the recreational yard

After lunch, the inmates had rec time. Some people played basketball, walked the perimeter of the fence or sat on the benches. Denki and eijiro mingled with other inmates. Shoto and Izuku walked the perimeter. Katsuki sat on the bleacher. Hitoshi joined him.

"Go play or whatever you littles do."said Katsuki. Hitoshi ignored his comment and observed the field. Hitoshi understood why Katsuki pick these bleachers because it was a view of everything happening on the field. Hitoshi liked people watching because he could learn a lot from just watching. Just been observing from few minutes, he learn that the group of guys sitting on other bleachers hate their leader based on body language only. And if Hitoshi focus closely he could read their lips.

After an hour of people watching, shoto walks to them.

"Nice to know, you two are getting along."said shoto. Katsuki scoffs.

"Hitoshi, time for a nap."said shoto.

" I am not little right now."said Hitoshi.

"It's required that you nap for 2 hrs every day."said shoto. Hitoshi nods. He follows shoto and Izuku. He noticed katsuki joining them. Katsuki walked Shinso back to his cell.

"I don't care if you sleep or not. Don't move from this bed until I come get you."said Katsuki. Hitoshi wants about question him but Katsuki gave warning glare. Hitoshi question disappeared. Katsuki left the cell. Hitoshi waited few extra moments before using his alone time to his advantage. He took a quick potty break before laying back down in bed. The bed was uncomfortable and room was too cold. Hitoshi took his thin blanket and went to Izuku cell. Izuku was laying bed drinking a bottle of milk.

"Izuku, I can join you?"asked Hitoshi. Izuku nods before moving over.

"Izuku, where did katsuki and shoto go?"asked Hitoshi as he gets cozy.

"To boring meeting. Kacchan going yell at people and Toto look mean to scare the people." Said Izuku. Izuku finishing his bottle while Hitoshi joins the warm and soft blankets. Hitoshi didn't even notice he felt asleep until he heard yelling.

"Katsuki! He is down here!" Yelled shoto. Hitoshi opened his eyes. Izuku was stretching his arms as he yawned. Hitoshi sat up and did the same when Katsuki stormed in. He slapped Hitoshi.

"You disobey me again!" Said Katsuki. He tried to punch Hitoshi but Hitoshi dodge by getting out of bed. Katsuki tries to hit him but Hitoshi dodge or invades it.  Shoto was impressed by Hitoshi skills while Katsuki wasn't.

Hitoshi could only duck and dodge for so long. He was getting tired. So he tries to explain.

"My bed is too uncomfortable and the blankets are trash."said Hitoshi. He ducks to avoid the incoming punch. " I wasn't disobeying you. I did take a nap."he adds in hopes to soothe katsuki. Katsuki stop trying hit him. Hitoshi sighs in relief. Then Katsuki punch him in the gut. Hitoshi bent over in pain.

"Follow my directions exactly next time." Said katsuki. He turns to shoto. " order whatever shit deku got for forehead over there." He states before leaving.

"Kacchan likes you!"said Izuku. Hitoshi rubbed his aching abdomen.

"Katsuki was probably impressed by your skills but too proud to admit. That's why he is rewarding you with stuff. Where did you learn fight?"asked shoto. Hitoshi scoffed. That wasn't a fighting skills, that was survival skills. Hitoshi learn very quickly that dodging doesn't leave bruising and simmer his guardian anger as they get tired.

"YouTube."said Hitoshi. Shoto went to order the stuff from the commissary by using the iPad that in the common area next to the phones.  Izuku pats Hitoshi back.

"You impressed kacchan. You going to last longer than others.  We are going to best friends!"said Izuku eagerly before leaving. Hitoshi goes to sit in the common room. He was watching tv when he heard a whistle.

"Oi, forehead, come here."said katsuki.  Hitoshi join him at the table of new faces. They played the card game BS. Hitoshi easily keep records of where all the cards are moving as the game progressed.

"Man, you got to be lying!"said one guy.

"The call it."said the guy wearing gold chains. Katsuki looks at Hitoshi.

"Bullshit."said Hitoshi. The table looked at Hitoshi with slight annoyance.

"You heard him. bullshit."said katsuki. The guy in gold chain reveals the card. He was lying. He had to take the whole pile of cards in the middle of the table. The played game until dinner. Everyone was still shocked at how easily Hitoshi could catch them in a lie.

Katsuki gave Hitoshi an extra fruit as a reward. Hitoshi didn't eat but appreciated the gesture. After dinner, shoto, Izuku, Katsuki and Hitoshi went to the shower room. A guard was standing in the room as they shower. Hitoshi stood awkwardly in shower room still in his clothes.

"Shinso, strip already and get ya dirt ass clean." Said the guard. Hitoshi doesn't want to be nude in front of one person and definitely doesn't want to be nude in front of multiple people. Technically only the people who a part program was there which was just them. But that didn't soothe Hitoshi nerves.

Hitoshi looked at shoto who was trying scub Izuku clean. Izuku was giggling and wiggling as shoto tries to bath him. Katsuki was on the other side of the room quietly washing his hair. Hitoshi looked at the guard who was glaring at him. He got undressed. He could his ears turning red as he placed his clothes in the dirty clothes bin by the wall. Hitoshi went to a shower that far from everyone one. He quickly got clean and dried off within few minutes. He quickly dressed himself before leaving the shower room. He waited in the hallway. Hitoshi lean against the wall and close his eyes as he ignored a guard staring at him.

Hitoshi has only been have for less than a day and he wants leave. Living with his guardians was tough but predictable. His roommate/ caregiver is hard to read. He feels like he walking around on eggshells in this place. He regrets trusting his stupid lawyer.

Everyone join Hitoshi in the hallway after 15 minutes or so. The guard escort them back to the pod. The other inmates were lock up already.

"Nighty Kacchan and toshi!"said Izuku before going to his cell with shoto. Katsuki and Hitoshi went to their cell. Hitoshi's new bedding was already there. He had dark blue fluffy comforter blanket and more pillows. Katsuki settled in bed without a word. The cell door closed and locked behind Hitoshi. Hitoshi got cozy in bed. He was relaxed and was falling asleep when he hears grunts, moaning and painful screaming from various cells around him. Hitoshi reminded once again that he is housed with murders, rapists and psychopaths that society doesn't want.

Chapter Text

At the visiting center

Hitoshi sat at a table by himself. Katsuki sat at a table nearby. Shoto and Izuku sat with him. The visitor room was empty except the a guard in the room. None of the inmates was handcuffed to Hitoshi surprise. Hitoshi realizes he hasn't been handcuffed since arriving here last week.

The days start blurring together after few days. Hitoshi memorized the daily schedule for the prisoners. He learned that he light sleeper in terrible way. He couldn't sleep at night at all because other inmates always woke up him with difficulty noises. The only sleep he gets is during nap time.

"Toto, do you think Momo will bring zuzu chocolate?!"asked Izuku. Hitoshi noticed Izuku doesn't come out of littlespace often. Izuku hasn't come out of it since Hitoshi first day here.

"Zuzu, you have chocolate in the room."shoto states.

"But Momo always has fancy chocolate!"said Izuku. Shoto and Izuku dynamic seem so natural like they not a prison together but a home that they made. Hitoshi looks at katsuki who was glaring at the clock. Katsuki and Hitoshi are just two passing ships in the night. Katsuki barely interacting with Hitoshi. Hitoshi doesn't know if he should be glad or worry about that. It's good thing because Katsuki isn't abusing him but it's bad thing because Katsuki could be silently planning to murder him for past mistake.

The door open, two women walks in. Izuku immediately ran to the lady with dark hair wearing a red top.

"Momo!"said Izuku. Momo hugged Izuku before kissing his head.

"How is my favorite little one?"asked Momo. Izuku smiles brightly.

"Good!"said Izuku. They walked to the table. The lady with a pink bob sat in front of katsuki. Momo greeted shoto with a kiss. Shoto smiled softly as Momo sat in front of him of him. Izuku climbed onto Momo lap. Momo embraced him.

"Report."said katsuki sternly.

"No, hello Mina? No , how you been Mina?"she said with an attitude. Katsuki glared at her.

"Report, pinky."said Katsuki sharply.

"Drug sells are doing fine. Weapons sells increased. We gained a new client after the massacre of another gang in nearby city. Now where is this new little, I heard about?"asked Mina. Katsuki looked at shoto with disapproval look. Hitoshi eyes widen slightly when he realized Katsuki is actually apart of an organized crime group not just makeshift boss of the inmates.

"Zuzu was happy to talk about his new friend. I can't stop him." Shoto reasons.

"I am surprised you didn't kill this one."said Momo. So Izuku and shoto wasn't being overdramatic about that. Hitoshi's fear just became a lot more real.

"He hasn't been in littlespace yet."shoto explains. Hitoshi has been itchy to because the stress of new environment and lack of proper sleep make him want to slip into littlespace. He been resisting because he doesn't trust katsuki not kill him for being in littlespace and doesnt want to bother shoto who has his hand full with Izuku.

Shoto gesture to Hitoshi who was looking at the them from the corner of the room. Mina immediately went to meet him. Momo followed her with Izuku at her heels.

"Hi, I am Mina. This is Momo."she said. Izuku sat next to Hitoshi. He glared at Hitoshi.

"Zuzu, not sharing Momo with toshi."said Izuku sternly. Hitoshi nods. That's another reason why Hitoshi is hesitant to go to littlespace. Izuku gets jealous easily. Hitoshi doesn't like the murderous look in Izuku eyes when he gets jealous.

"What's your name?"asked Momo.

"Hitoshi."he said. Both women cooed at him. Hitoshi raised an eyebrow in confusion. He doesn't understand how they found him cute at the moment. He didn't do anything.

"You so adorable."said Mina. She reached out to touch Hitoshi face. Hitoshi slapped her hand away.

"Ow. Bad baby."said Mina. Momo cooed at him before attempting to pet his head. Hitoshi grabbed her wrist and twisted it. Momo yelped. Shoto immediately appeared not momo.

"Let her go, now."said shoto with threatening eyes. Hitoshi glared back at him with annoyance. Momo tried to get his grip off her wrist but fails.

"Katsuki, do something." momo demands.

"Oh no. Stop."said Katsuki flatly as continue sat there and do nothing. Izuku bit Hitoshi arm to make him let go. Shoto didn't scold him for it. Momo allowed shoto to look at wrist. There was no physical damage besides some redness.

"You are little fighter. What are you in here for?"asked Mina. Hitoshi remain silent. He doesn't want to talk to someone who doesn't understand personal boundaries.

"Oi, pinky if you done fucking around. Let's get down to business."said katsuki. Mina went back to the table. Shoto took momo and Izuku out of the visitor room. Hitoshi wonder how many guards are on Katsuki payroll that they can do whatever they want.

Hitoshi listen to them discuss the logistics of shipping and supplies of different items. He was falling asleep listening to it. But the universe hates him because Mina is a loudmouth. She constantly fluctuates her voice volume. Every time Hitoshi thinks she calm down, she starts talking loudly and excited.

Then shoto, momo, and Izuku return. Izuku was eating a chocolate bar. Shoto and Momo join Mina and katsuki. Izuku joined Hitoshi.

"Zuzu loves fancy chocolate."said Izuku. He starts ranting about chocolate and candy. Hitoshi could feel a headache forming in front of head.

The visiting time lasted until lunch. Hitoshi appetite improved but his stomach remained small. Hitoshi nibbled on his food while katsuki discussed what he heard from Mina today to the table.

"So what's the next move?"asked denki.

"Gather intel on the new group."said katsuki.

"Speaking of new groups. There a new group forming within the prison."said eijiro.

"Are they useful to us?"asked katsuki before sipping on his soda.

"Not the whole group but one of the members monoma has skills of copying keys which can come in handy."said eijiro. Katsuki thought about it. Having his own copy of keys that the guards have would better than always demanding the guards to open different doors.

"Keep him in our pocket."said Katsuki. Eijiro nods. Katsuki took note that Hitoshi wasn't eating. He assumed Hitoshi was tired. Izuku does that sometimes so Katsuki brushed it.

But even after nap time, Hitoshi was low energy. He stayed in his bed for most of open cell time until Izuku demands that they watch tv together. Hitoshi seem like he was in a daze as he watch the tv.

At dinner, Hitoshi didn't eat at all. He just slowly blink at the table. Katsuki noticed the odd behavior. He surprised shoto didn't notice. Shoto is always so in tune for Izuku needs. Katsuki assumed shoto was same for all littles in his care.

"Hitoshi, rumor has it. You are card shark. We are planning gambling game. You in?"asked eiijro. Hitoshi didn't respond and continued to star blankly at his food.  Denki snapped his finger in front of Hitoshi face. Hitoshi look annoyed before grabbing denki wrist and twisting it.

"Get your mother fucking fingers out of my face."growled Hitoshi. The rest of table was shock at the sudden mood change in Hitoshi. We were used to the nonchalant Hitoshi. Hitoshi noticed everyone staring at him.

"Sorry."said Hitoshi before letting go of denki. He look eijiro. "What game you guys playing?" He ask in hopes take attention away from what just happened. Hitoshi knew his behavior is due to lack of sleep and resisting littlespace. He just needs adjust to his new lifestyle.

The few days later

Hitoshi woke up with a headache. He wasn't in good mood for breakfast. The rest of table was having light conversation about something random. Hitoshi wasn't paying attention to them. He was trying to force himself to actually eat but the fork felt heavier than before. He gave up on eating. He tried to sip on his juice but apparently his hand to eye coordination is acting stupid because he spill it on himself instead. Hitoshi wants to flip the table but he knew it was bolted down.

"Hitoshi, you okay?"asked shoto gently. Hitoshi nods. Izuku noticed a Hitoshi eyes was sparkling with an emotion but Hitoshi quickly blink away. Izuku smiled when he realized Hitoshi is teetering between headspaces. He could finally see little Hitoshi. Izuku excitement dial down when he realized Hitoshi is fighting his headspace.

Hitoshi clean himself up with napkins while Izuku starts planning on how to make Hitoshi slipped into littlespace. After breakfast, they gather in katsuki cell for their morning meeting. Izuku went to sit next to Hitoshi on his bed. He immediately started to talk to Hitoshi about a tv show. Usually Hitoshi can tolerate it and pretend to be interested. But Izuku voice is annoying him.

"Shut the fuck up." Growled Hitoshi. Everyone turned to look at Hitoshi who was glaring at Izuku. What shock them more was when Izuku says afterwards.

"You only alive because I want a friend. That can change if you don't stop fucking yelling at me." Said Izuku as he glared at Hitoshi. Izuku was definitely out of littlespace. Hitoshi should had just apologized and soothe the innocent looking guy. But Hitoshi blames his lack of sleep and headspace as the reason for his unfiltered lips.

"And who says I wanted to be a friends with you."said Hitoshi. In one quick motion, Izuku pulls out a knife from his pocket. He aimed directly at Hitoshi head. Hitoshi barely had time to block with his arms when a pillow hit him. He open his eyes. The knife was embedded into the pillow. Shoto was dragging Izuku out of the cell. Katsuki glaring at Hitoshi.

"No fighting in my cell. Take that shit outside."said katsuki growled to Hitoshi. Hitoshi nods. Katsuki continues his meeting. Shoto and Izuku never returned to the cell.

Once the meeting ended, everyone left the cell except Hitoshi. Hitoshi used this time to take a potty break before going to the common area. Katsuki and his crew sat a table to play cards. Hitoshi sat at the table nearby. He watched the tv as he overheard the conversation of people around them.

"That psycho is back."
"I bet $50 bucks that he will be in isolation within 24 hrs."
"$100 for 12 hrs."

Hitoshi laid his head on his arm that was resting on the table. He tried to focus on his breathing to distract him from the annoying headache.  He wanted plug his ears when couple of guys sat at the table across from him while chatting.

"Why is he allow to be here? If he is a ticking time bomb?"
" I forgot you are still new to this block.  He is menace in littlespace but controllable. When he is in out of littlespace, he is a psycho. But he can be in psycho ward because he is a little."
"Is that was everyone avoiding his cell?"
" oh that's because shoto is trying place him back in headspace. Shoto demands quiet when he does."
"How does he do it?"
"Don't know, don't car-"

Hitoshi got tried of listening to the conversations. He just wanted to relief his pain. He leaves the common room. He goes to his cell. He takes a nap for temporary relief. He slept until lunch. The tension in the mess hall was high. Hitoshi got his food from the serving line. He followed katsuki to their usual table. Izuku and shoto was already seated. Izuku calmly eating. He looked up from his food when Hitoshi and Katsuki sat down. Izuku grip on his spoon tightened.

The rest of the group joined them. They chatted among themselves as they ignored the tension in the air between the two littles. Izuku kept glancing at Hitoshi with a mischievous expression. Hitoshi ignored him as he barely ate his food. He wasn't hungry due to the headache and fork felt so heavy didn't help him. Izuku noticed the internal battle that Hitoshi was having again. He smirks.

"You don't want to be friends but you are out of headspace. You shouldn't talk for little you, toshi." Said Izuku. Soon as Izuku said the childish nickname, there was a flash child like innocent in Hitoshi eyes.

"Don't call me that." Said Hitoshi with a glare.

"Why? It is a trigger word, toshi?" Said Izuku. Hitoshi lips formed a straight line as he tighten his grip on his fork. Trigger words can be used positively to help a little to relax into littespace but negatively it can forced a little into littlespace without warning or consent.

"No, it's called trauma, dumbass."said Hitoshi. Izuku glared at him.

"Who you calling a dumbass,asshole?"asked Izuku.

"If the boot fits."said Hitoshi with sass. Izuku slammed his spoon on the table. Everyone turned to them in slight confusion.

"Bitch, do you want me jump across this table and whoop ya ass."said Izuku with a threatening tone. His eyes held a murderous glare. If Hitoshi wasn't so irritated from his headache, he would he known not to challenge the block psycho.

"Feeling froggy? Leap."said hitoshi. Izuku jump across the table and punch Hitoshi.  Hitoshi fell to the ground. Izuku wasn't able to hit him again before shoto pulled him back. Katsuki begrudgingly has to take Hitoshi to the medical ward. Hitoshi nose was bleeding the whole time they walked there.

The nurse check out Hitoshi nose while katsuki leaned against the wall. He was annoyed that he had to cut his lunch short to deal with this.

"Bakugou, you can't hit the little just because they are annoying. I can place him in isolation if you want so peace and quiet."said nurse. Bakugou didn't even attempt to deny the allegation. Hitoshi could had accepted the lie and be safe from Izuku who will be out for blood now. But Katsuki didn't do anything wrong.

"He didn't hit me."said Hitoshi. Nurse narrowed her eyes at Katsuki.

" sweetie, you don't have to lie. This happened all the time. You can benefit from separation." Said the nurse. Hitoshi wishes he had a nurse like her when he was trying to expose his parents for their neglect when he was in school.

"He didn't hit me. I was playing with another little. He accidentally hit me with a toy."said Hitoshi. He doesn't know how snitches work in prison but he knows he can't snitch on Izuku or he will be more mad at him. Nurse believes the lie as her face softens.

"You poor thing." She said. She pets Hitoshi head. " let me you an ice pack." She adds. She leaves the room.

"You need to stop pissing off deku."said katsuki.

"I will try." Said Hitoshi. The nurse comes back with the ice pack. She sends them back to their block. Hitoshi avoids Izuku during rec time. Izuku walk around the fence for exercise. Hitoshi sat at the other end of the bleachers that katsuki sat at. Shoto joined Katsuki to a chat. Hitoshi couldn't hear their conversation but Katsuki look annoyed and shoto face was expressionless. The conversation ends with a nod from Katsuki. Katsuki follows shoto out of the yard and into the building.

Hitoshi stay hyper aware of where Izuku was at on the yard. He knows katsuki won't protect him from Izuku. At least shoto can stop Izuku from hurting Hitoshi too bad.

Hitoshi contemplates if he should start at least working out. But the thinking made his head hurt more. He stop thinking and try to enjoy the fresh air while he can. Shoto can back alone. He walked to Hitoshi.

"You have to sleep in your cell for nap time."said shoto. Hitoshi agrees. He didn't want to sleep near the person who wants to hurt him.

Once nap time started, Hitoshi walked few feet behind shoto and Izuku to the block. Hitoshi went to his own cell. He saw katsuki reading a book in bed. Hitoshi was slightly surprised because Katsuki usually stay on the yard during nap time. Suddenly Katsuki toss something at Hitoshi.

Hitoshi's hand to eye coordination isn't the best right now. So he didn't catch the object. It landed on the floor by his feet. It was a pill bottle. Hitoshi looks at katsuki who was turning the page. Hitoshi picks it up and was about to return to Katsuki when his cellmate spoke.

"It's migraine medicine. If you want a refill, ask eijiro."said Katsuki. Hitoshi read the label of the bottle. The pills were for migraine that was safe for littlespace use. Hitoshi takes the meds before taking his nap. Katsuki waits until Hitoshi is sleep before grabbing another book from his under his pillow. Shoto gave it to him with the medicine. Katsuki open the first page of the book titled 'being a caregiver for dummies'.

Chapter Text

In prison cell 3A

Katsuki and his crew was having their meeting. Hitoshi keeps glancing at Izuku who was standing on other end of the cell next to shoto. Hitoshi felt better after his nap yesterday but he been trying to work up the courage to apologize to Izuku. He avoided him all day yesterday. He spent most of the night trying to find the words to say.

Once the meeting ended, everyone left the cell. Hitoshi took a quick potty break before leaving the cell. He went to go find Izuku. Izuku was talking to denki by the phone wall. Their conversation stopped when Hitoshi approached them.

"Can we talk?"asked Hitoshi. Izuku looks at denki. Denki leaves. Izuku gestures for Hitoshi to take a seat.

"Actually can we go to your cell?"hitoshi suggest. Izuku was slightly surprised but agreed. They went to Izuku cell. Hitoshi stood near the doorway while Izuku sat on shoto bed.

"Are you here to get your revenge? Because let me tell you. You make a dumb mistake being with me alone."said Izuku with a smirk.

"I am sorry." Said Hitoshi. Izuku looked confused. " I was irritated because a migraine. It was wrong of me for taking my anger out on you." He explains.

"Because you are resisting headspace."izuku adds. Hitoshi ignored his comment.

"I am sorry for indirectly pissing you off."said Hitoshi.

"Because you were resisting headspace." Izuku adds. Hitoshi realized Izuku isn't focus.

"We are done here."said Hitoshi. He was about to leave.

"You can't resist for too long."said Izuku. Hitoshi leaves the cell. Hitoshi goes to common area. He sits at katsuki seat. He sits next Eijiro. Eijiro and denki was debating about documentary.

"They wouldn't have got caught if they didn't stop at the apartment."said Eijiro.

"They would had still got caught because they left evidence in the car that police was looking for already."said denki. Then Izuku approached the table. He took a seat on shoto lap. Hitoshi look at Izuku eyes. Izuku had an innocent in his eyes.

"Toto! Good news zuzu and toshi are friends!"said Izuku excitedly. The table look at Hitoshi. Hitoshi nods in agreement. Everyone looked relieved.

"Shinso, bakugou visitor time." Yelled a guard from the block entrance. Katsuki was confused. He didn't have any visitors scheduled to his knowledge. Hitoshi was also confused because he didn't expect any visitors. His confusion turned into annoyance when he remembers state assigned guardians are family and have the ability to visit him.

Katsuki and Hitoshi travel to the visiting center. The room was empty except for the middle age couple sitting at the table. Hitoshi begrudgingly sat at the table across from them. Katsuki stood in the back of the room and observed.

"Why are you here?"asked Hitoshi

"Because we missed you."said miss johnson. Hitoshi looked at her flatly.

"Let me guess, you not getting a check because I am not in your care." Said Hitoshi.

"What? No! We just missed you."said mister Johnson. Hitoshi sighed in annoyance.

"Can we please cut the bullshit?" Said Hitoshi. The couple looked at shocked at their son.

"Don't use that foul language." Mr Johnson scolds. Hitoshi doesn't understand why they trying to pretend that taught anything besides how to survive on his own without them.

"You know what? Either you tell me what you want or i will leave and deny your visiting request forever."said Hitoshi. Hitoshi didn't think they would visit him so he never file paperwork to block them from calling or visiting him.

"Wait! Okay. Tell you the truth. We are empty nest now and want to foster another little." Said Mrs Johnson. Hitoshi could read between the lines. They are trying get another little for another source of income.

"But we need you sign this first." Said Mr Johnson. They gave the paper to Hitoshi. Hitoshi started reading it. The document was a letter that states that Hitoshi was happy healthy environment and wants share his environment with other littles. Hitoshi immediately torn the in half.

"Happy and healthy environment my ass."said Hitoshi.

"Language."said Mr Johnson scold. Hitoshi slam his hands on the table in frustration.

"Fuck you!"he yelled before storming out of the room. Katsuki followed behind him. Then suddenly Katsuki pulls him into an empty office.

"Who were those people?"asked Katsuki.

"None ya business."said Hitoshi angrily. Katsuki ignored the tone in his voice and didn't match his tone as he spoke.

"You forgot you are property. Meaning your bullshit is my bullshit. Now answer the question."said katsuki.

" my foster parents."said Hitoshi. Katsuki left the office. Hitoshi followed behind him. Hitoshi waited for Katsuki to demand more answer that what happened during visit. But Katsuki remain quiet as he lead them back to their block. Once they return, Katsuki's crew was still playing cards at the table. They join them at the table.

"Who was visiting?"asked shoto as he stop Izuku from putting playing cards in his mouth.

"A journalist who couldn't take no for an answer."said Katsuki. Hitoshi doesn't know why Katsuki lie for him but he glad he did. Hitoshi didn't want to explain how ended up foster care to began with.

"Toshi! Play with zuzu! Please!"said Izuku. They played a few rounds of go fish. They didn't even notice the silent conversation between their caregivers.

Shoto raised eyebrow at Katsuki because he knows he is lying. Eijiro and shoto are in charge of scheduling visits for their associates.

Katsuki title his head slightly towards to Hitoshi who was busy playing cards. Shoto understands immediately that Katsuki was protecting his littles. Shoto smirk with a knowing look.

Shoto had a feeling that Katsuki was bonding with the little. Katsuki glared at him for the allegation. Shoto rolled his eyes as he realized Katsuki is in denial.

Shoto can't wait to see how Hitoshi worms his way into Katsuki heart. Shoto hopes Hitoshi can make Katsuki smile again.

Chapter Text

In cell block A

Hitoshi was drawing a teddy bear on a paper as Izuku colored in a coloring book. Shoto placed sippy cups of water on the table before walking to katsuki who talking to Eijiro by the phones.

"Monoma agrees to weapon suppler for us if we give him protection."said Eijiro.

"How good are his weapons?"asked Katsuki.

"I seen it. He can make a good shanks. Now he says he has a connections to actually weapon dealer. He is willing to give us the name for a good price."said Eijiro. Katsuki thinks for a moment before speaking.

"Verify that the connection is real first before making a deal." Said Katsuki. Eijiro nods in agreement. Katsuki looks at shoto was just listening as he stood next to them.

"What do you want, half n half?"asked Katsuki.

"I am taking Izuku to the library later today."shoto states.

"Can I go?!"asked Eijiro. Library privileges are for the people in the program only. Other prisoners have to wait the monthly library cart to come visit their block. But Katsuki has the powers to bribe the guards to allow Eijiro to go with him.

"No."said katsuki. Eijiro has tasks to do and shouldn't get distracted. Katsuki glared at him. Eijiro pouts playfully.

"I will do my other stuff afterwards."said Eijiro.

"No. Now go away." Said katsuki. Eijiro sighs in defeat before walking away.

"Maybe Hitoshi wants to go." Shoto suggest.

"Then take him. I don't care what he does."said katsuki with a shrug.

"This would be a great time to return those 'shitty' book you don't like."said shoto. He doesn't know if katsuki read the books he gave to him but this a good way to make Katsuki at least research the topic of caretaker. Hitoshi survived longer than any little Katsuki had before. It could be because Hitoshi hasn’t dropped into his headspace yet. But shoto going use this opportunity to make Katsuki a decent caregiver before it happens. Shoto will do anything to make Izuku happy. Izuku is happy to have a little friend and shoto isn't going to take that away from him because Katsuki has no caregiver skills.

"Let's go."said Katsuki. He went to get his books from his cell. Shoto went to the littles at the table.

"Do anyone needs to potty before we leave the block?"asked shoto.

"Where we going?"asked Hitoshi.

"To the library!"said Izuku excitedly. Shoto repeats his questions. Hitoshi quickly shook his head while Izuku nods. Shoto took Izuku for a potty break in their cell. Katsuki walked to the table that Hitoshi was at. Hitoshi sat up straight as he noticed the stack of books.

"Can you read?"asked Katsuki. Hitoshi raised an eyebrow.

"Why you want to know?"asked Hitoshi with suspicion.

"You shouldn't go to library if you can't read."said katsuki. He would probably how to order picture books for Hitoshi. But that's a hassle because he needs to call his outside connections.

"Izuku is going and he probably can't read in headspace."Hitoshi points out.

"Deku always makes half n half read to him."said katsuki. He narrowed his eyes at Hitoshi. " I ain't doing that shit." He adds. Hitoshi look at him with a flat look.

"I can read, jackass."said Hitoshi. Then shoto and Izuku join them. They all went to the tiny library in the prison. Katsuki returns his book to the drop off box. Katsuki explores the rows of books. Hitoshi immediately went to sci fi section. Shoto followed Izuku around. Izuku was looking at the children books. But shoto noticed Katsuki skimming through history books about caregiving. Shoto took a mental note to grab those books later. Then shoto got an idea. He walked over to Izuku. He whispered the idea to Izuku. Izuku nods. He grabs a storybook from the shelf. Then he ran to katsuki.

"Kacchan! Kacchan!" Said Izuku.

"Shut the fuck up." Said katsuki. Izuku was unfazed by the mean tone.

"Please read to zuzu!"said Izuku. Katsuki looked over to shoto was pretending to be interested in a book in his hands.

"Oi! Read to deku." Said Katsuki to shoto. Shoto ignores him. Izuku starts begging.

"Please! Please! Please !" Whined Izuku repeatedly. Katsuki tried to ignore him but the whining was too annoying. He snatched the book from Izuku.

"Fine. But you gotta shut the fuck up."said katsuki. Izuku agrees. They go to the small carpet in the middle of the room. Izuku demands the Hitoshi join them.

"Toshi!come! Come!"said Izuku. Hitoshi sat next to Izuku on the carpet. Katsuki begrudgingly starts reading the book.

"No!! Do the voices!!" Whined Izuku.

"I ain't doing that shit, deku. Now shut the fuck to before I am decide not to read this shit at all."Katsuki threatens. Hitoshi felt bad for izuku. Hitoshi frowns. Katsuki starts reading the book with different voices for the characters.

Katsuki was barely few pages in when Izuku spoke.

"Toto! Zuzu needs potty!"said Izuku to shoto was sitting nearby. Hitoshi raised an eyebrow at Izuku. He just went before they got here. There no way he needs to go now.

"We will be back." Said shoto before grabbing Izuku hand. They left the library. Hitoshi and Katsuki were left in silence. There was an awkward silence until Katsuki spoke.

" I don't know Izuku finds this shit interesting. This literally trash. A boy going an adventure to visit his cousin is lame as fuck." Said katsuki. He closes the book. " I can make up better shit than that." He adds. Hitoshi scoffs. Katsuki narrowed his eyes.

"Got something to say? Say with your chest, forehead." Said Katsuki. Hitoshi was going to backtrack until Katsuki call him forehead.

"Your imagination is shit. So you can't make up a story."said Hitoshi sassily. Katsuki toss the book to the table nearby.

"Yeah I can. The shit is easy. Listen close, forehead. Once upon a time, there was a little boy."Katsuki starts. He tells a story about little boy traveling through the jungle to find hidden treasure. Katsuki was almost done with story when shoto and Izuku returned.

Hitoshi was captivated by Katsuki storytelling that he didn't notice Izuku joining him on the carpet. Shoto smirks. This worked way better than his own plan of tricking Katsuki to read a book to Hitoshi.

Chapter Text

In prison cell 3A

After the morning meeting, katsuki made shoto stay to chat. Hitoshi sat on his bed and silently wishes they would had took their conversation somewhere. This was Hitoshi self appointed time to take potty break. Hitoshi likes privacy when using the toilet. Katsuki and shoto impromptu meeting is delaying that.

"What kind of questions is the old lady going to ask at this appointment?"asked katsuki. Shoto was confused for a second before he realized Katsuki was referring to Hitoshi first check up. All littles are required to have a health check up once a month to ensure that little is health and safe. Izuku wasn't required to anymore after 3 months because the nurse recognized that shoto was safe to care for Izuku.

"Regular check up stuff. There was no question towards you unless the nurse needs more clarification."said shoto. Katsuki nods. They leave the cell. Hitoshi takes his potty break before joining everyone in the common area. He sat at the table with Katsuki.

"It's been a month already?"said Eijiro in disbelief when shoto mentioned it. Hitoshi didn't even realized it been a month already. The days really do blur together.

"We need to celebrate!"said denki excitedly.

"No!"said Katsuki. Izuku ignored Katsuki comment.

"We need a cake for toshi!"said Izuku. Shoto nods. Hitoshi didn't a sweet dessert in awhile. He wasn't oppose to the idea.

"I think I can ask the kitchen for a favor." Said shoto. Izuku squeal with excitement.

"No fucking celebration." Said katsuki. Eijiro pats Katsuki back.

"This is milestone! You didn't kill him."said Eijiro. Denki placed his arm around Hitoshi.

"Yeah. That's means you like Hitoshi."said denki with a smile. Hitoshi and Katsuki spoke at the same time.

"Get your arm off me."
"Get your fucking arm off him."

Denki quickly removed his arm like Hitoshi burnt him. They continued to talk about having a celebration.

"Bakugou. Shinso. Report To the medical bay!" Yelled the guard from the block entrance.

"Don't worry, katsuki! We will have every plan before you come back." Said denki with a mischievous smile. Katsuki glared at him. Katsuki and Hitoshi walked to the medical ward. Once they entered, the nurse greeted them.

"Welcome in, bakugou."said the nurse. Then she looks at Hitoshi. She smiles brightly at Hitoshi.

"Hi Hitoshi! How you feeling, buddy?"she said in a baby talk tone.  Hitoshi glared at her.

" I am not little." Said Hitoshi in cold tone. Katsuki raised an eyebrow at Hitoshi's behavior.

"That's fine. Then the exam will go little quicker."said the nurse. She guides Hitoshi to the exam counter. Hitoshi sat on the counter. Katsuki lean against the wall nearby.

"How you feeling?"she asked. Hitoshi shrugs.
" how is your sleep?" She asked. Hitoshi shrugs.
"How is your appetite?" She asked. Hitoshi shrugs.

The nurse was about changing techniques when Katsuki spoke.

"Oi, answer the damn questions. If your dumbass gets me sick because you disregard your fucking health. I will fucking kill you."said katsuki. Hitoshi learned in month of being here that katsuki threats of murder is just bark. But he understands katsuki underline concern about him. If Hitoshi health declines in any ways then people will blame katsuki. Katsuki isn't terrible to Hitoshi. So Hitoshi will repay him by keeping katsuki reputation somewhat clean.

"Bakugou, please retain from threatening my patient."said the nurse. Katsuki remain silent.

"I am fine. My sleep is trash due to environment at night. I mostly nap during the day. My appetite is low."said Hitoshi.

"Any Headache? Fatigue? Poor Motor coordination?"she asked. Hitoshi agreed to all of them. " when was the last time you slipped into headspace?"she asked. Hitoshi had to stop and think for a moment.

The last time, he was in headspace was the day before court day. He remembered being stressed about it so he slipped into younger headspace for few hours.

"About month."he said. The nurse looked at him in shocked. Most littles are in headspace for weeks at a time. Littles maybe out of headspace for few days at most. Hitoshi didn't slip often at home because he didn't feel safe. So he only did it when it was necessary.

"Hitoshi." She said in a scolding tone. Hitoshi looked unfazed. " you can't just resist for that long!" She adds.

"I thought you say this will be quicker."said Hitoshi with a raised an eyebrow. The nurse continued to question as she did the physical exam.  Hitoshi passively answers questions. Then she suddenly place her stethoscope on Hitoshi chest. Hitoshi shiver at the cold metal. Then she moved the stethoscope down to his abdomen.

"When was the last time you poo?"she asked casually. Hitoshi felt his check turn red. He forgot that physical exam included those questions.

"Yesterday."said Hitoshi a he look at the nurse press on different areas of his abdomen. Before she states that she will have exam his genitalia and butt.

"For what?"asked Hitoshi.

"For a diaper rash."she said. She notices Hitoshi hesitation and explains she only peek into his diaper. So he doesn't have to be undressed. Hitoshi allow her to look.

"Everything looks good. But Hitoshi you will should slip soon before you force your mind to drop."said the nurse. Hitoshi rolled his eyes.

"Are we done here?"asked Hitoshi.

"I need a urine sample."said the nurse before giving Hitoshi a cup and ziplock bag. Hitoshi looked surprised. " we need to make sure you not physically drugged." She explained.

" I don't have to pee." Said Hitoshi.  The nurse gave him some water bottles.

"I will be in office. Bring it to me when you done." She said. She looks at katsuki before at Hitoshi " there are cameras in here. So no helping each other." She adds before leaving the two inmates locked the exam room.

Chapter Text

In the medical ward

Hitoshi was sitting on exam counter as gulped the first water bottle when Katsuki spoke.

"How old is your headspace?"asked Katsuki. Hitoshi stop drinking to look at him with suspicion.

"Why you want to know?"asked Hitoshi.

"Half and half asked and I didn't know. I don't like being out of the loop."said katsuki.

"I don't have to tell you shit." Hitoshi said before drinking his water. Katsuki scoffed.

"You probably a baby." Said Katsuki. Hitoshi glared at him.

" I am not. There a big difference between a baby and toddler." Said Hitoshi. Katsuki smirks. Hitoshi cussed when he realized he fell into his trap. Katsuki look around the medical room. Every thing was a locked up but Katsuki was bored. Hitoshi finished up his second water bottle.

"You like sci fi?" Asked Katsuki. Hitoshi looked at him with suspicion. Katsuki glared at him.

"We are struck in here until you piss. It’s your fault we here, so you have to entertain me."said katsuki.

"Why didn't you tell me that they would take a urine sample? I could had actually prepared for it!"said Hitoshi.

"I never did this shit before."Katsuki admits angrily.

"None of your littles made it a month."said Hitoshi in slight shock.

"No they were too annoying."said katsuki.

"So that why you kill them."Hitoshi states. Katsuki looked offended at that statement.

"No dumbass, I broke some of their bones and they got pulled from the program. Don't listen to every rumor you hear, forehead."said katsuki. Hitoshi thought about katsuki actions towards Izuku in headspace. Katsuki would be annoyed but helpful if Izuku asked directly. Hitoshi remembers how Katsuki helps with his headache no questions or scolding about his health. Hitoshi realized in that moment that Katsuki is caring in his own way.

"Why you keep calling me that! My forehead isn't that big." Said Hitoshi.

"Look big to me."said katsuki with a smirk before tossing Hitoshi another water bottle. He was drinking the water when he realized this was good time to ask Katsuki questions since he had nowhere to go.

"How do you know shoto and Eijiro?"asked Hitoshi.

"I knew shoto before I enter prison. Eijiro offer his allegiance to me in prison."said katsuki. Hitoshi gulp down the water before speaking.

"You don't make friends, do you?"asked Hitoshi with a smirk. Katsuki crew seems like friends to Hitoshi but the way Katsuki refers to their friendship sounds so formal.

"You tell me. Aren't littles supposed to social. Nobody call or visit you since you been here."states katsuki smirks. Hitoshi smirk faded. Hitoshi didn't have friends because he was constantly fighting his headspace which made him more irritable and short tempered. So his peers avoided him in school. He didn't leave his house in fear of slipping in public without a trusted caregiver which Hitoshi didn't have either. He always spend his time in headspace in his own room because his foster parents always had guests over didn't want Hitoshi in the way of their party.

Hitoshi focused on drinking his water as an awkward silence fell in the room. Katsuki place his hands in his pockets as he look random direction of the room. He didn't like how he got this icky feeling when Hitoshi mood change.

Katsuki makes people sad or upset all the time but he never gets this feeling until Hitoshi shows up.

"I know how to bake."said Katsuki. Hitoshi looked at him with slight confusion and disbelief. " if there any thing you want I make it." He adds. Hitoshi starts laughing. Katsuki looks at him with a raised eyebrow.

"Sorry. But you trying comfort me-"

"No I am not! I just listing skill I have!"said katsuki.

"You use food for comfort. You trying to comfort me with food."said Hitoshi with a smile as tries to contain his laughter. Katsuki ignored the warmth feeling he got from seeing Hitoshi smiling as  he denies Hitoshi statement.

"I am not! Quit thinking dumbass, you going give yourself a headache."said katsuki. Hitoshi sober him from his laughter. Katsuki fold his arms as he lean back against wall. Hitoshi may be hallucinating but it seems like Katsuki is sulking.

" I like M&M cookies. You know since we listing things." Said Hitoshi. Katsuki hummed in acknowledgment. Hitoshi start listing other food he likes to pass the time. However, once it time to fill the sample cup. Hitoshi got shy.

"I gotta go." Hitoshi admits quietly to Katsuki. Katsuki looks at him like he was dumb.

"Then go."said Katsuki. Hitoshi fiddle with his uniform.

"Turn around."Hitoshi said. Katsuki looked at him flatly. " please?" He adds. Katsuki turns around. Hitoshi goes to the a corner of the room to fill the cup. He turns in the sample to the nurse before she allows them to leave. They walked to their block in comfortable silence. Once they entered the block, they got sense the tension in the air. They went to join the crew at their table.

"What happened?"asked katsuki.

"Two of the young bucks from rival gang started arguing few minutes ago. The guards had to break it up but the tension is high because rumor has the yard riot may get move up because of this."said shoto.

"Toshi, how was nurse office?! Did you get a lollipop?!"asked Izuku.

"It was fine. And no."said Hitoshi.

"Toshi needs a lollipop for being a good boy! Zuzu got some!"said Izuku. He left the table quickly that he didn't noticed the shift of emotions in Hitoshi eyes when he said the phrase 'good boy'. Izuku came back to the table with a lollipop and a note.

"Someone gave it to me. What does it say?" Asked Izuku before giving to get shoto. Shoto reads it first while Izuku gave the lollipop to Hitoshi. Izuku pats Hitoshi head when he notices the slight change in his eyes. Izuku eyes widened in disbelief and excitement.

"This is warning. We need get to cells now." Said shoto quietly. The group dissipated and went to their cells. Hitoshi sat on his bed and enjoyed his lollipop when suddenly there's yelling and screaming. The riot began.

Chapter Text

In prison cell 3A

The riot had people running and up and down the stairs. They were fighting each other mostly in the common area but some was fighting on the walkways of the cells. Hitoshi didn't like the loud noises. He went to katsuki who was currently lying in bed reading a book.

Katsuki isn't was worry about the riot. There unspoken rules not to injury the littles in the prison. So nobody will dare enter their cell unless they have a death wish. The inmates knew better than to pick a fight with anyone in katsuki crew.

Hitoshi climbed onto katsuki bed. He immediately hid under his blankets. Katsuki scoffed. He didn't think Hitoshi would be a scary cat.

"Forehead, calm down. They ain't coming in here. It will be over in few minutes."said katsuki. Hitoshi suddenly hid his face in katsuki stomach. Katsuki felt bad for cellmate. This is was his first root. He is scared out of his mind. Katsuki pulled Hitoshi off him. He noticed Hitoshi was silently crying. Katsuki got that icky feeling again.

"Stop crying. You are safe with me. Ain't nobody coming in here unless they want go through me." Said katsuki. Suddenly Hitoshi hugged him. Katsuki raised an eyebrow. Katsuki isn't understanding why he acting like this. He tried to push Hitoshi off him when Hitoshi whined as he cling tighter. Katsuki froze for a moment. He immediately grabbed Hitoshi head to force him to look at him. Katsuki looked at Hitoshi eyes but couldn't tell the sign of littlespace like the book says.

"How old are you?"asked Katsuki. Hitoshi didn't respond. That lack of response answer Katsuki question. Hitoshi definitely in headspace otherwise he would have at least responded to the question with a sarcastic reply. Katsuki starts cussing. He wasn't ready for this responsible yet.

Suddenly there was an announcement of warning everyone to go back to their cells before they have use reinforcements. Katsuki cussed even more. They always get placed on lockdown as punishment for riots. So katsuki can't even pawn Hitoshi off to shoto.

Katsuki looked at Hitoshi who was content in hugging him. He regrets not keeping that 'how to be a caregiver for dummies' book. Katsuki was mentally panicking on what to do. He took a deep breath and tried to remember most basic steps taking care of a littles.

Is the little fed? Need change?or just sleepy?

Katsuki knew Hitoshi ate recently. Fortunately, Hitoshi just went potty during the nurse visit. But Katsuki isn't looking forward to changing him. Hitoshi isn't sleepy because of the noise around.

Katsuki went back to reading his book while Hitoshi laid on him. Hitoshi adjusted himself so he could see the book too. Katsuki started quietly reading book aloud so Hitoshi could enjoy it too.

The guards forced other inmates into their cells before locking them. Then they went around to check to ensure each inmate went to the proper cell. When a guard went to shoto cell. Izuku was playing with toys while shoto passed a note to the guard.

"Cell 3A." Said shoto. The guard nods. The continued the check but once he reached katsuki cell. He tapped the cell once to alert katsuki before sliding the note in the cell. The guard moved to the next cell.

Katsuki tried moves Hitoshi off him. Hitoshi whines as he held onto him. Katsuki had to forcedly remove Hitoshi off him. Hitoshi pouts as he sits on Katsuki bed. Katsuki goes to grab the note off the ground. He reads the letter.

Izuku informed me that Hitoshi is in headspace. He slipped moments before the riot started. We going to be lockdown for at least a day or two. So please keep your cool around Hitoshi. Remember the 3's B ( bottle, binky, bottom) you got this!

P.s refer to Hitoshi as toshi. It will help grab his attention and focus.

Katsuki flushed the note down the toilet. He looks at Hitoshi who was watching him like a hawk. Katsuki pull the box of toys from under Hitoshi bed. He sat a took a seat on the floor.

"Come on." Said Katsuki. Hitoshi grabbed the book from the bed. He walked to Katsuki. He took a seat on Katsuki lap. Hitoshi was a lot more lighter than katsuki expected.

"You don't want to play with some toys?" Asked Katsuki. Izuku usually play with toys when he is in his cell. Hitoshi shook his head before placing Katsuki hand on the book. Katsuki continued to read out quietly as Hitoshi turned the pages for Katsuki. They read until dinner time. Their meal trays was delivered their cells. Hitoshi whined immediately when Katsuki had to moved the little off his lap to received the trays. Hitoshi pouts until Katsuki returns in the floor next to Hitoshi. Hitoshi noticed the food. He grabs a handful to eat.

"Don't use your hands. They are not clean."said katsuki. He clean Hitoshi hands with a washcloth. Then he gave him a spoon. Hitoshi pouts before struggling to use the spoon. Katsuki grab the spoon.

"Open."Katsuki demands. Hitoshi open his mouth. Katsuki placed a spoonful of food in his mouth. Hitoshi allowed Katsuki to feed him. Once Hitoshi was satisfied he shook his head at the spoonful. Katsuki noticed Hitoshi only ate half of his serving.

"You should eat more."said Katsuki. Hitoshi ignored him and went to grab his sippy cup from his own bed. He sat next to Katsuki as he sipped on it. Katsuki ate his dinner. After dinner, Katsuki and Hitoshi were able to go take a shower.  Hitoshi held Katsuki hand as they walked out of the cell and to the shower room. They met up with shoto and Izuku in there. Izuku was excited to see Hitoshi.

"Toshi!"said Izuku. Hitoshi hid behind katsuki as he shyly waved.

"Toshi, how about you get undress and follow zuzu." Said shoto. Shoto expected Hitoshi to follow his direction like all Katsuki's previous littles did. Shoto established his self as the primary caregiver over them when bonding them so they won't be neglect while under Katsuki care. So shoto pleasantly surprise when Hitoshi looks at Katsuki for permission.

"Half n half focus on deku before he accidentally drowns."said katsuki. Shoto tries not to smile at Katsuki actually taking responsibility for the little. Shoto walks to Izuku. Katsuki looks at Hitoshi.

"Get undress."said Katsuki. Hitoshi turned red in the face as fiddle with the hem of shirt. "Nobody watching you." Said Katsuki. Hitoshi looks at the guard standing near the door. " he isn't paying attention to you." He adds. Hitoshi didn't look convinced.

"I promise you nothing bad is going to happen to you."said katsuki in slightly frustration. Hitoshi held out his pinkie. " I pinkie promise." He adds before linking their pinkies together. Hitoshi got undress and katsuki follow suit. Katsuki washes Hitoshi first. Hitoshi immediately went to get changed into clean clothes while Katsuki showered.

Once Katsuki was done, they were escorted back to their cell. Hitoshi grabbed blanket off his bed and headed towards Katsuki.

"Who say you sleeping in my bed?"asked Katsuki. Hitoshi pouts. "Fine but only for tonight." He states. They climbed into katsuki bed. Hitoshi made himself into the small spoon. Katsuki started grooming Hitoshi wild hair with his hand. Hitoshi was in sleep within minutes.

Chapter Text

In prison cell 3A

The lockdown was lifted the following day. So everyone was excited to see each other at breakfast. Izuku immediately greeted Hitoshi with a hug when he sat down at the table.

"Morning toshi!"said Izuku. Hitoshi nods in acknowledgment. Izuku frowned.

"Kacchan! What did Kacchan do to toshi!!"Izuku demands.

"Nothing."said Katsuki to Izuku before turning the group. "The lockdown was lifted earlier than usual what happened?" Asked katsuki as he starts hand feeding Hitoshi. Everyone was shocked included Izuku. Katsuki noticed the silence.

"I asked a question dumbass!" Said Katsuki angrily.

"A snitch snitched. Now when Hitoshi slipped?"asked Eijiro. Katsuki ignored his question. Izuku answered for him. Everyone was even more shocked that Katsuki has patience for that long with the little.

"How old is he?"asked denki. Katsuki shrugs. Denki rolled his eyes before looking at Hitoshi.

"Sweetie, how old are you?"denki asked in a baby voice. Hitoshi narrow his eyes at the tone. Then Hitoshi held up two middle fingers. Katsuki chuckled while denki looked offended.

"Zuzu this many!"said Izuku. He showed first two fingers and thumbs to represent three. Hitoshi looked amazed before trying copy him. Izuku helped him bend his fingers properly. Hitoshi smiled excitedly. He turned to show Katsuki his new trick. Denki and Eijiro cooed at Hitoshi.

"That's nice, toshi but you have finish eating."said Katsuki. Hitoshi nods and focus on eating.

"Oh! Update on the party. It was delay because of the lockdown but don't worry the party will go on."said Eijiro. Denki nods excitedly.

"Yeah we going work all the detail hopefully today."said shoto. They discussed the details while katsuki finish feeding Hitoshi. Then he fed himself. After breakfast, everyone gather in katsuki cell. Katsuki sat on the bed while everyone gathered around. Hitoshi took a seat on Katsuki lap. Katsuki placed an arm around his waist to secure the little before begging the meeting. Hitoshi fiddled with Katsuki hands as he passively listened to the meeting.

"You have a phone call scheduled with best jeanist."said Eijiro. Katsuki scowled. Best jeanist was one of his mentor in his childhood. He was helpful with creating professional attitude for katsuki. Katsuki barely uses it but his mother likes that he has the skill.

"What does he want?"asked Katsuki.

"Didn't say. I would assume he wants update about your life."said Eijiro with shrug. Katsuki hummed acknowledgment.

"Keep me updated that the weapon dealer too." Said Katsuki. Eijiro nods." Any other updates?" He asked. Nobody any other updates so he dismissed the meeting. Eijiro left immediately because he had to get start with task he couldn't finish before the lockdown. Shoto, Izuku, and denki crowded around Hitoshi as they tried to get his attention. Hitoshi didn't look happy.

"Out. He will come out when he is ready." Said katsuki. They left the cell. Hitoshi wiggled out of Katsuki loose hold. Hitoshi looked hesitant. He grabbed Katsuki hands place them over his eyes. Katsuki immediately removed his hands from his face. Hitoshi pouted at him. Katsuki placed his hands back over his eyes. He heard Hitoshi moving around. He peek in between his fingers. Hitoshi was using the potty. Katsuki didn't have to worry about diaper changes if he still potty trained in headspace. Katsuki kept his eyes covered to give Hitoshi the illusion of privacy. Once the toilet flushed, Katsuki stop covering his eyes.

Hitoshi washes his hands. He walks to the cell entrance. He held out his hand. Katsuki walked to him. They left the cell as Hitoshi held his hand. Izuku immediately grabbed Hitoshi hand and pulled him from Katsuki so they can watch tv together. Izuku was still having a one side conversation about the tv shows but now Hitoshi looks interested in Izuku opinion.

During rec time, Hitoshi actually play with Izuku and having fun. Hitoshi giggling grabbed Katsuki attention. Katsuki was enjoying the sun on his skin as he sat on the bleachers but when he heard Hitoshi laughter. He got interested. He went to the playground area. Hitoshi was happily chasing Izuku around. Katsuki stood next to shoto.

"He is actually enjoying himself and not just participating for Izuku."shoto states. He seen Hitoshi play with Izuku when only Izuku is in headspace. Hitoshi passively listening to Izuku and does the bare minimum while playing with him. But now Hitoshi is like a burst of energy. Izuku was having trouble keeping up with him.

"How long while this last?"asked katsuki. Hitoshi is a lot more happier in littlespace. But he spend almost a month resisting it, he won't stay in it for long.

"Just enjoy while it last."said shoto. After rec time, the littles were very tired. They took a nap. During the nap, katsuki used the phones at the wall.

Best jeanist: good evening
Katsuki: what do you want?
B.j: just checking on you. How you been?
K: fine.
Bj: nothing new?
K: no
Bj: really? What I am hearing about a new little you are fond of.
K: who told you that?
Bj: so what's his name?
K:  you called for gossip?
Bj:  no, to extend my advice if necessary.
K: like what?
Bj: like you have to think long term because your mother deal still stands. If you not going to keep him forever, don't get attach to him.

Katsuki hanged up. He didn't want to be remind of that stupid deal. The stupid deal was supposed to show that he can be care others when it's counts. Hitoshi has good potential to last the whole year in his care. The problem is that Hitoshi isn't made for the mafia lifestyle. Hitoshi barely adjusting to the prison life.

Katsuki sighs as he tries not thinks so far in the future. He went to his cell to enjoy some quiet time until the end of nap time. Katsuki went to shoto cell. Shoto was waking up the littles. Izuku was rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. Hitoshi looked his shirt.

"Izuku, you drooled on me again." Said Hitoshi  with slight scolding tone. Izuku smiled apologetically. Hitoshi rolled his eyes before climbing out of the bed. He walked past Katsuki like nothing happened over last day or so.

"Oh man, toshi isn't little anymore."said Izuku with pout. He wanted to play some more with him. It won't be the same now. Katsuki look in the direction that Hitoshi was heading. Hitoshi was going to their cell. Katsuki needs to study Hitoshi signs and triggers. He won't be caught off guard again. Katsuki went to library.

Chapter Text

In prison library

Hitoshi and katsuki walked into mini library. It was decorated with balloons and streamers. Katsuki's friends was gather around the table.

"Congratulations!"they said. Katsuki rolled his eyes. Hitoshi looked at the cake on the table. It says 'congrats, it's a boy!'. Hitoshi wasn't impressed.

"We are on budget because katsuki didn't want to pay for the party."said denki. Katsuki didn't regret it. He still believes the party was stupid.

"But we had money for alcohol."said Eijiro. He held up the two bottles of vodka. Izuku excitedly snatched the bottle of Eijiro hand. Shoto snatched the bottle from Izuku.

"Littles can't have alcohol."said katsuki. Hitoshi scoffed. He took the bottle from Eijiro. He opened it. He was about to pour it into his mouth when katsuki snatched the bottle from him. Hitoshi glared at him.

"That's a myth. It's called having low tolerance due to lack of exposure. Gimme that." Said Hitoshi. Katsuki gave the bottle back to Eijiro.

"Don't care. I ain't taking care of your drunk ass."said katsuki.

"Oh please! I can easily drink you under this table." Hitoshi challenges. Katsuki looked at Eijiro.

"Trash them."he orders. Eijiro nods. Hitoshi folds his arms.

"You no fun."said Hitoshi. Katsuki ignored his comment. Shoto changed the subject to who was cake.

"Me!"said Izuku. Shoto gave him a slice of vanilla cake. Everyone else got a slice except Hitoshi who decline the offer.

"Oh! That reminds me.i got the thing you ordered."said denki. He placed a box on the table in front of katsuki. Katsuki opened the box. It was a pre packaged store brought M&M cookies. Katsuki gave it to Hitoshi. Hitoshi quickly opened the package. He grab a cookie. He took one bite of the cookie. He hummed in delight. He quickly ate the rest of the cookie. He noticed everyone was looking at him.

"Want one?"asked Hitoshi to everyone. Everyone shook their heads except Katsuki who was eating his cake. Hitoshi continued to enjoy his cookies while listening to the story on how denki attempt bake a cake.

Their party had to end because it was time for guard shift change. They return to their block. Few of katsuki allies congratulated Hitoshi as they entered. They sat at their table.

" zuzu will buy toshi a gift. What toshi want?" Asked Izuku. Hitoshi raised an eyebrow.

"You have money?" Asked Hitoshi. Most littles are dependent on caregivers. Hitoshi doesn't know if Izuku had a caregivers before prison but the program only temporarily gave the prisoners the title of caregiver. They are not their official caregivers. So Izuku shouldn't have any money in prisoner account because he doesn't have a caregiver sending him money.

"Zuzu is using Toto money! Toto has a lot of money!"said Izuku. Hitoshi looks at shoto who just nods.

"I don't want anything but thanks for asking." Said Hitoshi. He doesn't want material things, he wants to travel the world. He wants far away from his bad parents.

"No new toy? Or plushie ? Or pacifier." Said Izuku. Hitoshi shook his head. He already got a box of that stuff and doesn't use it. Shoto lean over to katsuki was passively listening as he shuffled the cards in his hands.

"Must be nice having an inexpensive little." Whisper shoto. Katsuki chuckles.

"What are your hobbies?"asked Eijiro to Hitoshi. Hitoshi shrugs.

" I don't do much. I read sci fi, watch movies, digital treasure hunt, and nap." Said Hitoshi.

"Wait what is a digital treasure hunt?"asked shoto with slight confusion. Hitoshi rubs the back of his neck shyly as he speaks.

"It when I am bored, I am go break into secure systems to see what's they hiding. I may pass by few login pages of different websites depending on my mood." Said Hitoshi. Everyone at the table look at Hitoshi in shock.

"Hitoshi, why are you in prison?" Asked denki.

"Wired fraud and car theft."said Hitoshi.

"That's a federal crime. Why are you here?"asked denki. He isn't understanding this right now. Hitoshi folds his arms.

"Because I have terrible lawyer."said Hitoshi.

"Me too buddy."said denki. Katsuki looks at Hitoshi with a raised an eyebrow.

"How did you get caught?"asked Katsuki.

"How did you get caught?" Asked Hitoshi. If he has to admit his past mistakes, katsuki can too. Katsuki remain silence.

"Toshi needs a iPad!"said Izuku.

"Jail iPads are trash. They heavy restricted."said Eijiro. Hitoshi smirks at the challenge.

" I want one."said Hitoshi. Izuku left to make an order for one at the guard station. Shoto followed behind him.

~Later that day during naptime

Hitoshi was laying in bed with Izuku. He was reading a book to Izuku when Izuku spoke.

"Toshi is bestest friend ever. Zuzu wishes toshi and zuzu can be friends forever."said Izuku. Hitoshi frown slightly at the thought that one day Izuku and Hitoshi will go the separate ways and all the time they spent together will nothing but a memory. Hitoshi is the newest person to join the crew so he will probably be last to leave. It was scary thought. Hitoshi tried to focus on the present.

"Me too." Mumbled Hitoshi. He resume reading the book to Izuku.

Chapter Text

In prison cell 3A

Everyone was gathered for the morning meeting except shoto and Izuku. They wasn't at breakfast either but nobody questioned it until the end of the meeting. The meeting ended early so they could go visit shoto and Izuku.

When they entered the cell, shoto was rocking side to side as he embraced Izuku on his lap. Izuku looked red in the face and tired.

"What happened?"asked katsuki with a glare. Izuku may be annoying thing but he still a part of katsuki crew. Anyone who messes with his crew will pay.

"Izuku caught a stink bug." Said shoto. Everyone took a step back except Hitoshi. Hitoshi is confused why they are were scared. Stink bugs  doesn't effect non littles.  Littles catch it because they have a lower immune system but long as  other littles keep their distance it's fine.

Suddenly Izuku started crying, then Hitoshi realized why everyone step back. Izuku's cries are loud. Shoto place a pacifier in Izuku mouth as he soothe him. Hitoshi tried not gag when he smell something foul in the air. Hitoshi  is reminded why that stomach virus was called the stink bug. Hitoshi left the cell quickly before he regurgitated. Everyone else pretends their nose hairs wasn't burning from the smell as they gave get well wishes. Hitoshi went to his cell for a potty break. Then he went to watch tv. It was odd not having Izuku with him. But Izuku kept intermittently crying and disrupted Hitoshi peace.

Katsuki noticed Hitoshi looked annoyed. He walked to him. He gave him earplugs. Hitoshi was confused until Izuku cried again. He immediately place the earplugs in his ears. It helped a lot. Hitoshi couldn't hear the tv but he settled for reading the subtitles.

Shoto and Izuku joined them for lunch. Izuku didn't look better. He clingy to shoto. Shoto tried to feed him but Izuku shook his head as he refused.

"Zuzu no want." He whines repeatedly. Shoto tries to soothe him then Izuku started crying. Hitoshi tries not cover his nose when Izuku polluted the air.

"Shoto, I will change him. You need to eat." Said Eijiro. He took Izuku from shoto. Izuku continued to cry as Eijiro took him out of the room. Shoto eat and chatted with the table. Hitoshi is surprised that shoto isn't drained from hearing Izuku cry all day. Hitoshi was exhausted and he not even taking care of Izuku.

"Prince zuko has amazing redemption arc."shoto explains. Denki shook his head and tried to debate. Then Eijiro came back with Izuku. Izuku immediately ran to shoto. Shoto place him on his lap. Izuku still didn't want to eat.

Hitoshi understands Izuku is sick and doesn't feel good but by the end of the day. Hitoshi was ready to pull his hair out. Izuku crying disrupted Hitoshi nap time and bed time. Hitoshi barely got any sleep for few days while Izuku was sick. So Hitoshi shouldn't be surprised the lack of sleep lower his immunity system. He woke up in middle of night with belly pain.

Hitoshi stomach cramped so bad. He immediately understands Izuku pain. He immediately slipped into littlespace for relief.  Hitoshi sat up in bed. He whines softly before walking to katsuki bed. He climbs under katsuki blankets. The blanket was nice and warm. Hitoshi nuzzles closer to Katsuki. Katsuki wakes up with confusion before realizing Hitoshi was in his bed.  Katsuki pets Hitoshi hair. It take Hitoshi mind off the stomach pain. He even fell back to sleep. But he woke up few hours later, the pain came back.  He woke up with tears in his eyes.

Katsuki was concerned but understood Hitoshi was in littlespace because he was cuddly. He asked if Hitoshi was hungry but Hitoshi shook his head.

"Do you need to potty?"asked Katsuki. Hitoshi thought about it for moment. He doesn't need to go. He just wants the pain to stop as silently cries.

"What's wrong then?"asked katsuki. Hitoshi whines as the words won't formulate on his tongue.  Katsuki took Hitoshi to the nurse because he doesn't know what wrong with Hitoshi but it's bothering the little.

The nurse did a quick exam. Then she was able come up a quick diagnose.

" he has early symptoms of the stink bug." Said nurse. She explains that Hitoshi is experiencing stomach pain because of it. Hitoshi hunch over as wrap his arm around his belly in pain. Nurse explained the signs and symptoms of stink bug.

"Little Izuku had it last week. It is a high chance little Hitoshi accidentally got from him." Said nurse.

"Can you give him any medicine for it?"asked katsuki. He felt bad for Hitoshi who was silently crying in pain..

"Unfortunately no. Just plenty of water and some TLC." Said nurse. Then she gave katsuki a diaper.

"He doesn't need this. He is potty tra-"Katsuki was interrupted by Hitoshi body expelling loudly. The nurse look at the caregiver with sympathy before giving him a pack of wipes.

Hitoshi tummy felt better but now he felt icky. He hates being icky. For one time in years, Hitoshi cried. Katsuki flinched at the sudden noise. Hitoshi cried louder when Katsuki changed his soiled diaper. He stopped crying when he was clean. Katsuki gently wiped Hitoshi remaining tears. Hitoshi made grabby hands towards Katsuki. Katsuki carried him back to cell block.

Chapter Text

At the prison block

The crew immediately gathered around them. They started asked questions and Hitoshi's head start hurt. Hitoshi whines softly as he nuzzle his face in katsuki shoulder.

"Forehead is sick thanks deku." Said Katsuki. Izuku apologizes. Izuku is feeling a lot more better now than few days ago. He left to his cell to get Hitoshi sippy cup. Hitoshi tried to drink out the sippy cup but the cup felt so heavy in his hands. He whined in frustration before tossing it across the cell. Katsuki gave him a baby bottle filled with water. But Hitoshi was struggling lift it up to drink from.

Katsuki assumed Hitoshi must very sick to feel too weak use a sippy cup. He didn't realize Hitoshi lack of motor coordination was due to a decreased in age in littlespace.

Katsuki sat on the bed with Hitoshi in his lap. Katsuki had to hold the bottle while Hitoshi drank from him. He smiles fondly at the little before remembering that only dependent right now because he is sick while in headspace. Normal little Hitoshi wouldn't do this.

Shoto walked in the cell. He smirks at the adorable scene before him. He walks to them.

"If only the others could see you now." Teased shoto. Katsuki glared at him.

"Shut up." He growled. Shoto playfully placed his hand in surrender.

"I come in peace."shoto explained. He place his hands in his pockets. " but I do what to inform that your mother scheduled a visit next week." He states. Katsuki groan in annoyance. His mother doesn't visit often and when she does she is annoying. He scowl at the thought of seeing his mother. Then Hitoshi started squirming in discomfort as he stopped drinking from the bottle to shove his face in katsuki face.

Katsuki embraces Hitoshi as he rubs his back. Hitoshi whines softly in pain. Shoto notices a familiar emotion on katsuki face.

"The bug will gone in a few days. He will be fine."said shoto. Katsuki knew that but it didn't help the icky feeling he felt while watching Hitoshi silently crying into his shoulder.

"Does he have a pacifier?"asked shoto.

"It's still in the packaging." Said Katsuki. He gestures the box under Hitoshi bed. Shoto grabs a pacifier from the box.

"Pacifiers helps them self soothe and distract them from the pain a little."said shoto. He placed the pacifier in Hitoshi mouth. Hitoshi suckle on for moment with slight confusion. Katsuki petted Hitoshi head. Hitoshi got a warm fuzzy feeling. He slowly suckle as he enjoyed the heat pets.

"He calm down a lot quicker than Izuku." Said shoto with slight surprise. Katsuki looked at the little with slight pride. Then Hitoshi starts crying loudly. Shoto flinched from the sudden noise. Then the smell in air hit his nose and understood the problem.

"I can change him." Said shoto. He saw the look of slight disgust on katsuki face. He tried not laugh. He used to the smells that littles can produce now. Katsuki still needs adjusting.

Katsuki passed Hitoshi to shoto. Hitoshi suddenly start scream crying like bloody murder once he was in shoto arms. Hitoshi thrashed in shoto arms. Shoto tried to soothe little but Hitoshi wasn't having it. Then Katsuki's crew appeared at the doorway prepared to fight. Hitoshi reach out for Katsuki who sitting in bed. Katsuki stood up and took Hitoshi from shoto. Hitoshi cries decreased significantly.

"Hitoshi is okay?" Asked denki with concern.

"Yeah. He just being clingy." Shoto explains. Katsuki demanded that all of them leave. He did that partially because he still trying progress Hitoshi picking him over shoto for comfort. Also partially because he knew Hitoshi needs the illusion of privacy.

They left the cell. Katsuki changed Hitoshi soiled diaper. Hitoshi mood improved immediately.

Hitoshi stayed cling to Katsuki. Hitoshi intermittently would whine in discomfort but with some head pets and back rub he soothe. Hitoshi slept when he wasn't in pain. But any time Katsuki would lay him in bed, Hitoshi would woke up and cling to him. Katsuki just accepted Hitoshi clingyness as he sat at the table with Hitoshi hugging him like a koala. Katsuki was playing cards while Hitoshi napped.

During rec yard, Katsuki sat on the grass with Hitoshi on his lap. Hitoshi had his head on his shoulder as he passively watch everyone on the yard. But when everyone comes to visit, Hitoshi would hid his face in Katsuki neck.

Katsuki was listening to denki chat about the gossip he heard recently. Eijiro noticed Hitoshi was sleeping. He cooed.

"He looks adorable asleep."said Eijiro. Denki leans over to look at Hitoshi. Then Katsuki tried not groaning in annoyance when he felt his lap get warm. He took Hitoshi to get changed. Katsuki is starting appreciate the fact that Hitoshi is normally potty trained because he getting tried of changing him.

During dinner, Hitoshi refused to eat. Hitoshi barely ate anything day. Katsuki tries to spoon feed him but Hitoshi hid his face in katsuki shoulder instead. Katsuki got an idea.

"Fine don't eat. You can't handle it anyways."said Katsuki.  Then suddenly Hitoshi opens his mouth with determination in his face. Katsuki fed him while shoto shook his head in disapproval.

"Katsuki, that's mean." Said Eijiro as he realized he just manipulated Hitoshi to eating by baiting him. Katsuki shrugs.

Katsuki spent next few days caring for sick little. It got easier when Katsuki learned Hitoshi non verbal cues like his body language. Like sometimes Hitoshi isn't squirming because he is in pain but because he is get comfortable in Katsuki embrace. Or when Hitoshi stares at wall, he isn't distracted, he listens to his surroundings attentively. Katsuki enjoys cuddling Hitoshi at night. Hitoshi placing his weight on top of Katsuki as he slept help Katsuki sleep better. But all good things must come to an end.

Hitoshi was sitting on Katsuki lap as he plays cards with his friend. Hitoshi was asleep but he woke up because he was thirsty. He was out of littlespace so he felt uncomfortable sitting on Katsuki lap. He tried get up but Katsuki subconsciously tightened his hold as he spoke to Eijiro.

"Let me go." Said Hitoshi quietly to Katsuki. Katsuki release his arm from around Hitoshi. Hitoshi got up from his lap. He ignored everyone was wanted to talk to him as he went to his cell. He grabbed a sippy cup of water from the mini fridge when the memories of the last week rushed back to him. His eyes widen in shock that he humiliated himself like that. He never drops into baby space. Hitoshi sat on his bed in embarrassment. He couldn't face the crew right now.

Chapter Text

At visiting center

Hitoshi sat at the circle table in the back corner of the room. Katsuki sat a table near the front entrance of the room. A woman with blonde hair and a pastel suit walked in. She looked at Katsuki. She folded her arms. Hitoshi watches as the two glared at each other for few moments. Then the woman smacked katsuki upside the head.

"You suppose greet a lady when they walk in the room. Where is your manner?!"asked the woman.

"What do you want you old hag?"asked katsuki. She took a seat in front of Katsuki.

"To check on you."she said. Katsuki folded his arms.

"This could have be a phone call." Katsuki growls. She grabs Katsuki chin.

"You are looking like you are gaining a little weight in the face." She states. Katsuki shove her hands away. " must be happy weight because you are setting a good example for your little." She adds. She look passed Katsuki and directly at Hitoshi. Katsuki was about speak when his mother called out to Hitoshi.

"Come sit with us, little one." She states with a gentle but childish tone. Katsuki noticed Hitoshi eyes narrow. Hitoshi was ready to rebel so Katsuki intervened. He intervened to hurry this visit. It's definitely not because he got this weird urge to have Hitoshi next to him or that at least what he told him.

"Forehead, come here." Katsuki demands. Hitoshi joins them at the table. The woman cooed at Hitoshi before pinching his check. Hitoshi grabbed her wrist and twist it. The woman eye twitch as she wither the pain.

"I am not little. Keep your fucking hands off me." Said Hitoshi. He let her wrist go.

"Neat trick." She states. She noticed the pride in katsuki eyes as Hitoshi glared at her. " I am bakugou mituski. You must be Shinso Hitoshi."

Hitoshi paled as he realized he is sitting in front of current mafia boss’s wife. His blood went cold as he remembered he just injured a very influential person. And if she could be even or more violent than Katsuki. Hitoshi gulp nervously. Katsuki can't harm him due to program rules but nothing stopping his mother from disciplining him for bad behavior. Hitoshi may or not pee a little as he looked at woman in front of him.

"I heard a lot about you."she said. Katsuki raised an eyebrow.

"Who snitched?"asked Katsuki. Mituski explains that she can't give out information about her informants. Katsuki glared at her. " I can snap a few necks until I find them." He suggest. The mother ignore her son comment and focus on the little.

"How is katsuki treating you?"asked mitsuki. Hitoshi hesitates. Katsuki had been decent to him in and out headspace. But he knew that most parents want to hear good things about their child. Hitoshi didn't have any amazing to share. Hitoshi foster parent set the bar so low that they made Katsuki look good. But compared to shoto's caregiving skills, Katsuki needs work.

"I kept him he alive. That's good enough." Said Katsuki.

"Shut up! I didn't ask you."she said. Katsuki rolled his eyes.

"I am adjusting fine."said Hitoshi. He pick a safe response that vague. Mitsuki saw right through it.

"Is Katsuki a good caregiver?"she asked.

"I guess."said Hitoshi with a shrug. That wasn't the answer she wanted. So she had to use a different technique. In one swift motion, she kicked Hitoshi's shin. Hitoshi banged his knee on the table as he flinched in pain. Hitoshi mumbled some swear words in pain.

"What the fuck you old hag?!" Yelled katsuki. Mitsuki saw the fierce anger of a protector in his eyes. She smirks as she got her answer. Hitoshi was rubbing his knee.

"I am sorry must be muscle spasm. I am getting old."she admits. She stand up and look at Hitoshi who was withering the pain. "Welcome to the family, grandbaby." She said. Hitoshi looked at her like she was crazy while katsuki looked slightly shocked and confused. Before Katsuki could demand answers she left. Katsuki looked at Hitoshi.

"You good?"asked Katsuki. Hitoshi nods before trying to stand up. He hiss in slight pain. Katsuki growled in annoyance when he got the same icky feeling again. He picked Hitoshi up and tossed on his shoulder.

"Put me down!"said Hitoshi. Katsuki ignored him as he left the room. Hitoshi demands continued until he realized they were halfway there. He gave up.

"Is your dad like that too?"asked Hitoshi. He didn't know if he can do another visit like that.

"No."said katsuki flatly. That was surprising to Hitoshi. Because he assume all mafia boss suppose be psychopath.

"But isn't he the boss?"asked Hitoshi accidentally out loud. Katsuki chuckles. He thinks it's laughable that Hitoshi thought his dad was in charge.

"My dad isn't the boss. The old hag is."said Katsuki. Hitoshi eyes widen and how body felt cold. He met the mafia boss!!?!

Once they arrive few feet from the block, katsuki placed Hitoshi on his feet. Hitoshi leg felt better a long time ago. They entered the block. Everyone avoided them as they walked. Even the crew look cautious at them.

"Toshi, let's play!"said Izuku quickly before grabbing Hitoshi arm. They went to Izuku cell. Izuku sighed with relief.

"Why everyone acting like Katsuki is the plague?"asked Hitoshi.

"Because Kacchan no happy after mommy visits."said Izuku. Hitoshi nods. He look out of the cell and saw Katsuki talking to shoto and Eijiro.

"He looks calm."said Hitoshi.

"That weird! Kacchan always mad after mommy visit."said Izuku. Then he got distracted by his toy. But what Izuku said made Hitoshi wonder why this visit was different. Now he wishes he was sitting with crew for post visit debriefing. He looked at Izuku who gathering toys for them to play with. Izuku isn't going to allow Hitoshi to leave here without playing with him.

Hitoshi join him on the floor and hopes that Katsuki not being mad for once after his mother visits is a good thing.

Chapter Text

In the prison cell 3A

Hitoshi was sitting in bed while he navigated the security on the iPad. He received the iPad from Izuku this morning. Hitoshi has been glue to the screen since. He removed the restrictions and trying to manually remove the security surveillance on it.

Izuku walks in the room happily as he carries a small container. He jump on the bed next to Hitoshi.

"Lookie! What zuzu got!"said Izuku. Hitoshi looked away from his iPad. Izuku uncovered the container. It had brownies.

"Where you got that from?"asked Hitoshi.

"Toto was talking to a guy in the kitchen. One of the other workers said that zuzu was being good boy while waiting for Toto. So he gave zuzu this!"said Izuku. He gave one to Hitoshi. Hitoshi smelt it before taking a bite. He hummed in delight.

"It's good." He said. Izuku ate one before nodding agreement. They ate it within minutes. They were little sad when it was all gone.

" toshi fix thingy yet?"asked Izuku. Hitoshi explained that he was able to get majority of the restrictions off. Izuku sat next to Hitoshi as he explain what he is currently doing. Izuku was interested for a few minutes before getting bored. He played with Hitoshi toys.

Hitoshi was inputting a sequence of numbers to override the system when his head felt fuzzy. He shook his head to force himself from slipping. He focused on decoding. But the iPad grew heavier in his hands as the minutes grew. He glanced at Izuku who was playing with an airplane. Hitoshi frowned he wanted to play. He toss his iPad aside and join Izuku on the floor.

They was playing racing the airplane around the cell when shoto walks in holding sippy cups. He gives one to Izuku.

"Hitoshi, you want one?"asked shoto. Hitoshi looked away from his toy and at shoto. Shoto eyes widen slightly before returning. He noticed the familiar childlike glean in Hitoshi. He just surprised Hitoshi not clinging to katsuki right now.

"No."said Hitoshi in slightly high pitch voice. Shoto had to stop his jaw from dropping. Izuku looked shocked. He knew Hitoshi dropped but he wasn't expecting Hitoshi voice. Hitoshi didn't like them staring at him. He frowns.

"Me sorry!"he said.

"It's fine. You didn't do any wrong."said shoto. Hitoshi starts crying as he continues to apologize.  Izuku hugs him but Hitoshi dodge it.

"No! Me bad."said Hitoshi. His mind filled with thoughts accidentally giving his friend his bad behavior like a disease. He had to protect his friend.

"You not bad. You good."said shoto gently. Hitoshi looks at shoto calm face that turned into an evil looking alien. He screamed before running away.

He could hear footsteps running after him. Hitoshi ran down the stairs. He ran to the one person who would protect him. He leaped onto katsuki lap. Katsuki drops his cards in shock.

"Kacchan! Danger!"said Hitoshi. Katsuki looked at the little clinging onto him with slight shock and confusion before his mind registered what the little said. He turned angry. His anger turned into confusion immediately when Hitoshi points at shoto was approaching the table. Izuku was in tow. Katsuki looked at shoto for an explanation. The whole table wanted one. Shoto explains what happened. Katsuki grabs Hitoshi face to look at his eyes. He growled in frustration. He still can't tell when Hitoshi is in littlespace.

"Wow! Red pretty!"said Hitoshi before attempting poke katsuki eye. Katsuki smacked Hitoshi hand.

"Ow! Bad Kacchan!"said Hitoshi.

"You can't poke people eyes out, forehead." Said katsuki.

"Toto! Lookie the clouds are like Dino nuggets!"said Izuku. Hitoshi gasps in excitement.

" me wanna see!" Said Hitoshi before moving off katsuki lap and joining Izuku. They look at the ceiling.

"Littles have some weird imagination."said denki. Katsuki felt like something was off. Hitoshi has been little twice and both times he was clingy. His speech pattern is may indicate that he in a younger headspace but he isn't still clingy. That part didn't add in katsuki opinion.

"Tag you it!"said Izuku. He touches Hitoshi before running away. Hitoshi chased after him. Izuku around a table and immediately fell. Hitoshi tried to stop running and accidentally fell backwards. The two caregivers rushed to them. Littles was fine but when katsuki help Hitoshi to his feet. Hitoshi stumbled. Katsuki raised an eyebrow.

Shoto starts scolding Izuku for not being carefully when Izuku suddenly starts laughing at his face. The prisoners near by tensed up at the scene next to them. Shoto gave Izuku a stern look. Izuku laughs more. Then suddenly Hitoshi joined in.

Shoto looked confused. Izuku would always listen to him when he gave a stern look. Katsuki getting more concerned. Hitoshi doesn't laugh at other people misery.

"Izuku, this isn't funny."said shoto. Izuku stop laughing. Hitoshi looked confused.

"What's up with you?" Asked shoto. Izuku looked at him with serious face.

"The roof." Said Izuku.

"What?"asked shoto.

"The roof." Said Hitoshi in slight sass in tone. He didn't understand how shoto didn't understand.

Shoto looked at katsuki for help. Katsuki shrugged. He was clueless as him.

"What about the roof?" Asked shoto.

" the roof is fire." Sings Hitoshi with a smile.

"We don't need no water let that mother fucker burn."sings Izuku with goofy smile.

"Burn, burn."sings Hitoshi as he dancing with his shoulders. Izuku joins him with happy wiggles.

"Burn mother fucker." Sings Izuku. Then shoto was concerned. They immediately them to nurse. She was surprised to see both littles.

The littles was very uncooperative. Izuku kept trying to run away around the room. At point in the exam, shoto had to hold him place. Hitoshi was refusing everything then laughing at the nurse. After the exam, nurse has a diagnosis.

"They are high." Said nurse. Shoto was shocked while katsuki looked angry. Katsuki was immediately started planning on how to murder the person drugged HIS little.

"How do we treat it?" Asked shoto. He can't deal with Izuku not listening to him. The nurse toss them each a bottle of water.

"Hydrate mostly and relaxation."she explains.

"No wanna pee!" Whined Hitoshi. He doesn't want to pee in a cup again. Izuku gasped when he realized something.

"Zuzu needs pee!" Said Izuku.

"Good luck." Said nurse before guiding them out of her office. Izuku whined the whole way back to cell block that he needed to pee while Hitoshi starts singing a song to distract Izuku.

"This is the song that doesn't end."Hitoshi begins singing. The caregivers learnt real quickly that stupid song never ends. They thought Hitoshi would stop once they arrived but he didn't.

"-it goes on and on my friend."sings Hitoshi. Shoto gladly walk Izuku to their cell to go potty just so he stop hearing the song. Katsuki assumed Hitoshi would stop signing since Izuku was gone but no. He continued singing the stupid song.

"Quiet it!!"yelled Katsuki. Hitoshi stopped singing. They started walking to their cells when Hitoshi started humming the song. Katsuki won't take the quiet little for granted anymore.

Chapter Text

At the dining hall

The crew was explaining what happened when the littles were high yesterday. Hitoshi looked embarrassed while Izuku was laughing.

"And you keep singing this song."said Eijiro. Katsuki glared at him as he dare him to sing that stupid song.

"Oh it's the song doesn't end-"Katsuki grabbed Hitoshi by the collar. He glared in the eyes as he threats to cut out his tongue if he sing that song.

"It was struck in my head all morning." Said Hitoshi. He pushed katsuki hands off him.

"Where did you guys get weed anyways?" Asked denki. Shoto was going to ask Izuku later but he wanted to know too. Katsuki was going wait to until the morning meeting to ask Hitoshi.

"Izuku got them."said Hitoshi. Izuku explains how he received them. Shoto didn't look happy. Katsuki didn't either.

"Shittyy hair you are in charge. Half n half, let's go."said katsuki. They left before Hitoshi could ask a question.

"Where they are going?" Asked Hitoshi to the remaining members.

"To find the meanie!"said Izuku.

"And do what? We ate the evidence. It's just hearsay."said Hitoshi. He doubt anyone could get in trouble for you. Denki shook his head.

"Little are off limits. Somebody cross the line." Said denki. He explained is an unofficial rule among the prisoners. The prison won't actually give any justice so the prisoners usually handle it.

"Katsuki usually makes one of us do his dirty work. So this is very personal." Said Eijiro. Denki agrees. This situation reminds hitoshi that Katsuki is actual criminal. He not just cocky, he can actually back it up. Now Hitoshi felt bad for getting that guy in trouble.

~Meanwhile in the prison block 2

Shoto and katsuki entered the cell block. The block was having open cell time at the moment. So everyone knew they were here. Whispers began as they walk with confidence. Shoto immediately went to the guy he talk to few days in the kitchen. The guy was on the phone when they cornered the him. Katsuki snatched the phone out of the guy hands and hang it up.

"Name of the guy who spoke to my little while we were in the kitchen."said shoto. The guy gulps nervously.

"I don't know his real name but he goes by Mr compress."said the guy quickly.

"Where is he?" asked Katsuki. The guy points to the cell. The two mafia members walked to the cell. The two prisoners were talking when they noticed their guests.

"Out."said shoto coldly to other prisoner. The prisoner quickly left. Katsuki started hanging a white sheet over cell bars to block the view of the cameras. He can paid off guards but erasering surveillance is a little more difficult.

"You knew the rule," said shoto in voice low and controlled, but simmering with rage. "And you broke it anyway." Mr compress immediately stand up and shakes his head.

"I think there been a misunderstanding." Said Mr compress.

"You gave drugs to a little."snapped katsuki. Mr compress mouth open and close like a fish as he tried form words.

"I didn't know he would eat it!"said Mr compress. Shoto swang a punch at the side of his head. Mr compress felt to the ground. Shoto climb on top of him. He starts punching with no pause in sight. His fist grew bloody from the punching the guy face until it was blue and black.He wanted to kill him but he knew katsuki needed a turn. Shoto stood up and walked to Katsuki who was watching from the sideline. Katsuki switch without shoto. Katsuki immediately kick the guy head. Then he placed his foot on the other face before grabbing his arm. In one swift motion he snapped the elbow out of socket before pulling the shoulder out of socket.

Katsuki made sure to break his knees too before he started kicking the guy in the chest until he heard the sound of ribs breaking. Katsuki swatted down next to the guy who wheezing as he cried in pain.

"Don't you ever mess any little again." Said Katsuki. Then he pulled him up by the collar. So the guy could look in Katsuki murderous eyes.

" you only alive to send a message. Don't fuck with my little."said katsuki. The guy nods. Katsuki let him go to fall back on the cold bloody ground. Shoto took down the sheet before they left. The prisoners pretend to be busy like they didn't almost witness a murder happening within earshot.

Shoto and Katsuki left the cell block. They stopped by the laundry room first to get fresh uniforms instead of the blood spattered ones they have one. Shoto washed the blood off his hands while they were there. They returned to their cell block. The crew was waiting for them at the table. Izuku ran to hug shoto. Katsuki looked at Hitoshi. Hitoshi was playing on his iPad.

"You finally cracked it?"asked Katsuki. Hitoshi nods as he continues to play a car racing game.

"How bad is it?"asked denki. Hitoshi looked up from his game.

"The guy still breathing."said shoto concludes.

"Unfortunately." Said Katsuki. Hitoshi was happy the guy survived but he scared to ask what happened. However, Eijiro wasn't.

"What did you do?"asked Eijiro out of curiosity. Shoto explained in a relaxed tone that the beat the guy. Izuku looked at his caregiver with pride before looking confused.

"What did Kacchan do?"asked Izuku. Katsuki smirked. He began talking how snapped the guy's bone. Hitoshi heard enough. He left the table. He went to his cell. He sat on his bed. He curled up his legs to hug them.

The ONE decent caregiver that Hitoshi likes is a criminal. Hitoshi frowns at the thought. He dreamed about having an amazing caregiver one day when he first got his diagnosis of a little. The dream died when his parents disowned him.

But that dream came alive when he realized katsuki actually cares about him. The image of katsuki being a grumpy but caring caregiver is once again tainted with Katsuki's family legacy. Hitoshi can't trust him! He shouldn't! He shouldn't get this warm feeling in his chest when katsuki just almost killed a guy for him. He shouldn't be longing to be in his embrace! He shouldn't be happy that katsuki remembers things he likes! He shouldn't be content that katsuki is HIS caregiver!

Hitoshi growled in frustration. He shouldn't feel like this! But.... He does. He frowns.

Chapter Text

At the visiting center

Hitoshi was currently trying to remove the restrictions on the iPad as he sat next to Katsuki. This iPad is for Izuku because he loves Hitoshi 'jail broken' iPad. So izuku request do the same to his.

Izuku was watching a cartoon on Hitoshi's iPad as he sat on shoto lap. They sat at table next other pair. Then Mina, Momo and a brunette with a bob walk in. Momo greets shoto and Izuku first. Mina takes a seat and greets them. The brunette looks at Hitoshi with awe.

Hitoshi was paying no mind to her as he was busy with coding on the iPad. The brunette reached out to pet Hitoshi hair. Mina stopped her.

"Don't."said Mina. The brunette nods before sitting down.

"I am Ochaco."she states to Hitoshi. Hitoshi wasn't paying her any mind.  She shook her head in disappointment.

"You made him a iPad little."she said to katsuki. Katsuki chuckled. Ochaco doesn't realize the potential Hitoshi had. She see a little who an addict to pressing buttons on iPad. While katsuki see a powerful hacker who is bored.

"Report."said Katsuki as he shift the topic. Mina starts giving him updates about the finances. Hitoshi was typing faster than his thoughts. He lost in the numbers when suddenly the screen went black.

"Fuck."said Hitoshi. Everyone look at him. He placed the iPad on the table. " it's dead" he explains.

"If you won't have went to sleep instead of being on it. It could have charge."said katsuki. Hitoshi glared at him.

"Shut up."said Hitoshi. Mina and ochaco hold their breath in anticipation of Katsuki yelling. They were surprised when Katsuki remain calm.

"You need to shut up. You interrupted my conversation for bullshit."said katsuki. Hitoshi rolled his eyes. Katsuki looked at Mina to continue. Hitoshi move to sit with Izuku. Katsuki attention immediately was divided. Hitoshi and izuku were quietly talking. Katsuki was so focused on what the littles conversation was that he didn't noticed Mina mispronouncing a word. Ochaco spoke and her word not only grab katsuki attention but shoto as all.

"Your mother activated file E."said ochaco. Katsuki was slightly shocked because he thought his mother deal was just an impossible thing that he won't able achieve. He assumed she was punishing him with an impossible challenge.

"Really?"asked Momo. Ochaco nods. Katsuki look at her with all his attention.

"What's next?"asked Katsuki. Ochaco was about to speak when Hitoshi spoke.

"What is file E?"asked Hitoshi. Everyone glared at katsuki.

"You didn't tell him."hissed Mina. Katsuki shrugs.

"Until today, that file was bullshit to me."Katsuki explains. Hitoshi looks at Katsuki and repeats his question.

"I will tell you later." Said Katsuki. Hitoshi glared at him.

"Tell me now." Hitoshi demands. Katsuki ignored his demands and looked at ochaco.

"As you was saying?"said Katsuki. Hitoshi looked at Izuku for answers. Izuku avoid his gaze. Hitoshi looked at shoto. Shoto pretends to distract by Izuku iPad. Hitoshi frown. He wants to know too! Why doesn't everyone else get to know except him!?

"Your retrial will schedule for this week." Said ochaco began. Hitoshi stop listening as his world froze for a moment. Retrial means a prisoner want to try to plead their case again. Most people don’t get retrial is general. So the people that do get one are high likely to win the case and be a free man again. If katsuki get free early, Hitoshi will be left alone until he gets reassigned to another prisoner. Hitoshi pale as the thought of being separated from Katsuki. Katsuki is leaving him. Katsuki will leave him to rotten in this prison for next 10 years while he will move on to a new little. Katsuki is going to leave him just like his biological parents did.

"Toshi?"asked Izuku as he look at Hitoshi who has tears rolling down his face as he stare at the table. Hitoshi mind continued repeat that katsuki is leaving without him! He was so focus on the fact that he will be alone that he didn't see Katsuki look of concern as he kneeled next him. Everyone tried to grab Hitoshi attention but his mind became too fuzzy. The voices blurred together as he suddenly back in his bedroom at his foster parents house.

He is sitting on the bed hugging a blanket longing for a warm hug as he heard the party going on downstairs. He wants a warm hug and kiss like they do on tv. He been a good boy. He stays quiet and out the way. He is a good boy.

Suddenly he felt a warm hand on his back. He look over to look over at the empty space next to him. He frowns until he hears a familiar voice.

"Toshi? Earth to toshi?"said katsuki. Hitoshi memory crumbled around him as reality appeared around him. Katsuki was looking at him with worry. Hitoshi pets Katsuki head.

"Toshi, you okay?"asked Momo. Hitoshi noticed all the people around him. He reached for Katsuki. Katsuki gladly pick him up. He sat down with Hitoshi on his lap.

"Is he okay?"asked Mina. Hitoshi looks Mina and nods. Katsuki begins to rock side to side subconsciously.

"He is fine. He just doesn't talk much." Katsuki explains.  Ochaco continues talking.

"As I was saying, Hitoshi trial will run parallel to yours. The problem comes in at legal paperwork to become official caregiver. You are not an official caregiver."she starts. Hitoshi stop paying attention as he enjoy being his katsuki embrace. He didn't even realize he fell asleep until later when Katsuki was trying play him down in bed. Hitoshi grabbed his arm tightly.

"Kacchan no leave."he said quietly.

"I am not leaving, I will be here when you wake up." Said katsuki. Hitoshi shook his head. He points to himself then at Katsuki.

"go home?" He asked. Katsuki was confused for a moment before realizing what the little was asking. Katsuki smiles fondly. He wanted to discuss it later but it seems like little Hitoshi was quicker.

"When I leave, I am taking you with me."said katsuki. He rubbed Hitoshi belly. Hitoshi smiles  before scooting over. He pats the spot next to him. Katsuki lays next to him. Hitoshi falls asleep as Katsuki gently cards his hairs through his hair.

Katsuki looked at the sleeping little. He kissed his forehead. He will take Hitoshi with him. He doesn't care if the laws stops him.

Chapter Text

In the local court house

The blonde sat slouched in his seat next to his lawyer at the table. The lawyer was listening to the prosecutor statement.

"Your honor, the defendant had been sentenced to 20 yrs for arsenals on a massive scale. He endangered thousands of lives!"said the prosecutor. The purple haired boy sitting back row was a shocked. He surprised his caregiver wasn't sentenced for something mafia related. But he remembered what file E was. Katsuki explained it to him few days once he was out of headspace.

File E is for exit. It will only take place after Katsuki fill the requirement of taking care of a little for at least 1 month using the program. Then Katsuki will be free of his punishment and resume his role as heir of the mafia.

So Hitoshi should had assumed Katsuki crime would had been non mafia related because it would be hard to get Katsuki out of prison. Hitoshi was interested in how they plan on making Katsuki innocent after being found guilty.

He listens as the prosecutor present all the evidence from the previous trial. The gasoline can and receipt used at the crime since. They even brought out the written statement about witnesses seeing katsuki leaving the building soon as the fire started. They also include the social media post of katsuki threatening to burn it down.

"Your honor,there no way the defendant is innocent." He said with a smirk. He sat down. Ochaco stood up.

"You honor, thanks to our fabulous detectives. We now know bakugou was framed." She said. She explains the gasoline and receipt were planted at the crime scene because of lack of fingerprints. She debunked the false claims that witnesses had by stating those statements were written by two addicts who using at the time of the crime. Lastly, she explained that there proof that her client social media was hacked on multiple occasions include that day of the post.

"I will look over the evidence presented. Until then let's recess."said the judge. He dismissed them. Katsuki and Hitoshi were guided to a waiting room with a guard standing outside the door. Hitoshi sat on the couch in his designer suit that Katsuki's mother gifted him.

"Ochaco is good."said Hitoshi. Katsuki scoffs.

"She better be for all the money we are paying." Said Katsuki. He joined hitoshi on couch. He noticed Hitoshi fiddling with his suit jacket.

"Relax, forehead. Ochaco is good at her job. She will be better that shitty one you had the first time."said katsuki. Hitoshi wanted to believe that but he trusted a lawyer before and got screwed. " and if not, I am not above bribing." He adds.

"Can you at least pretend not be rich for a moment."said Hitoshi. Katsuki flicked Hitoshi forehead.

"Forehead, you under my care now. My money is your money." Katsuki explained. Hitoshi bit his tongue from saying he isn't his official caregiver yet. They both knew Katsuki was his caregiver regardless of what the document says.

"So that's means, I can have a yacht?" Hitoshi teased. Katsuki shrugged.

"Sure."said Katsuki. Hitoshi shook his head.

" I was playing!"said Hitoshi. Katsuki chuckled softly. He definitely picked the right little. He could wait to spoil him rotten like he deserves. Then ochaco walks in. She gave Hitoshi a big spiral lollipop. Hitoshi looked confused.

"I am not little."said Hitoshi.

"I saw it and immediately thought of you. You can save it later."said ochaco. Hitoshi nods before taking it from her.

"Update?"asked katsuki.

"It definitely leaning in our favor. The judge is taking a bathroom break right now. So a verdict is coming soon."she said excitedly. Hitoshi was excited for Katsuki but he got more nervous because his trial is next.  Katsuki took the lollipop from Hitoshi from his hand.

"That's mine."said Hitoshi. Katsuki ignored him as he took the paper off. Hitoshi tried to snatch it back but Katsuki move it out of his arm reach.

"You didn't want it." Said Katsuki.

"But it's mine!"said Hitoshi.

"Sharing is caring."teased Katsuki. Hitoshi glared at him.

" I ain't sharing. Give it!" Demands Hitoshi. Katsuki gave it to Hitoshi. Hitoshi immediately stuck in his mouth. He glared at katsuki as he tightened his grip on the candy.

"Katsuki, that's was mean!"said ochaco. Katsuki shrugged. It make the nervous look on Hitoshi disappear so Katsuki doesn't care.

After few minutes, they were escorted by to the courtroom for the verdict. Hitoshi sat in the back of room holding his lollipop while katsuki and ochaco stood before the judge.

"After reviewing the evidence, the court finds bakugou katsuki innocent." Said the judge. Ochaco hug katsuki. Katsuki push her away. The judge dismiss the court. Katsuki immediately went to Hitoshi. He ruffles Hitoshi hair.

"You are next."said Katsuki. Hitoshi nods. They went back to holding room while after case took place. Hitoshi starts pacing around the room. Katsuki rolled his eyes.

"Forehead, this is just a formality. Stop worrying." Said Katsuki. Hitoshi nods as he continues to pace. " sit ya ass down." He demands. Hitoshi join him on the couch.

"Why in the hell are you nervous? Fraud is easy to dispute." Said katsuki. Hitoshi knows that but it didn't help the icky feeling in his gut and the what if's running through his head.

Katsuki looks away as he speaks." There a cafe on the way back to my place. We can stop by. They serve good miso ramen."he said. Hitoshi started laughing. Katsuki is still bad at comforting Hitoshi but laughter is the best medicine.

"You going to make me fat."teased Hitoshi. If Katsuki offer food to comfort him, he may gain a few pounds within days.

"You shaped like toothpick anyways."Katsuki said. He folded his arms.

"Izuku says it adds to my cute factor." Said Hitoshi with a shrug. Katsuki disagrees with that statement. Hitoshi is cute regardless of weight but his mind likes the thought of a chubby little.

"When Izuku retrial?"asked Hitoshi. He actually looking forward to having a real playdate at a park with him. Katsuki mentioned that all of his crew will be released after him.

"Soon." Said Katsuki. Izuku is in jail for being a serial killer with psychotic tendencies. So it will be harder to get him released. But he is Hitoshi only little friend right now. Katsuki is going to try to hurry that process.

Then it was time for Hitoshi trial. Hitoshi sat before the judge as ochaco present her case.

"My client only pleaded guilty to the crimes to due the manipulation of his vulnerable state of mind. My client was going through little neglect during the time of crime and trial. It's high unethical to face sentencing in such a state!- the prosecutor interrupted.

"Your honor, this isn't about neglect."he said.

"Prosecution please remain silent as the defendant presents."said the judge.

"The neglect is relevant because it should the little was without guide. We can't punish a little for the fault of bad caregivers." Said ochaco. Then she show the evidence of neglect through documentation of Hitoshi poor attendance in school, the lack of doctor appointment for annual exams that's mandate by the foster system, and base weight of Hitoshi when he entered jail to prove poor nutrition.

The judge looked at the documents with a frown on his face. The prosecutor tried to plead their case again.

"Your honor, the little wasn't in headspace during the crime!"said he said.

"Do you have any evidence of that?"asked the judge. The prosecutor scowl before admitting he doesn't. " I see enough. The court announces Shinso Hitoshi innocent of all crimes. Dismissed."  He said. Hitoshi was in shock as ochaco hugged him.

"I told you."said katsuki. Hitoshi hugged Katsuki. Katsuki hugged him back. " now let's go home."he stared. Hitoshi nods.

At outside the courthouse

Hitoshi followed behind katsuki as they walk out of the courthouse. They were immediately greeted with photographers and journalists. They crowded around them.

"Are you going to take your place back as CEO of Bakugou fashion?"
"Is he your official little now?"
"Sweetie look over here!"
"Did you bribe the judge to free you?"

The journalist continued to shout questions at them as they walk down the stairs outside the building. Hitoshi was trying to keep up with Katsuki while also trying to make his eyes adjust to flashing lights. Hitoshi missed a step. He bumped into Katsuki back. Katsuki stopped walking.

"Back the fuck up before I beat all ya asses."Katsuki growled loudly. All the photographers and journalists surrounding them took a big step back. Katsuki was known to resort to violence before everyone assumed he softened when the rumor of him getting a little started.

Hitoshi was surprised the crowd listened. He  took a big back also since he had room not be in Katsuki personal space. Katsuki noticed and he glared at the little.

"Keep up, forehead."said Katsuki. Hitoshi rolled his eyes. Katsuki continued to walk. Hitoshi followed after him while the crowd kept a wide perimeter around them. Katsuki went to a car waiting from them. They climbed into the backseat. Hitoshi noticed the car seat next to him.

"Fuck no."said Hitoshi. He knew all littles are technically required to be at least booster seat or car seat basing on headspace while in a car. Hitoshi walked everywhere mostly. And the public transport doesn't check classification status.  So,he rarely sits in one.

Katsuki looks as the driver that look like a new recruit. "If you such as go over a speed bump too fast, I am putting a bullet in ya." He said. Hitoshi raised an eyebrow. Katsuki doesn't have a gun right now. Katsuki threat was enough to make the driver shake in fear as they drove.

They arrived at a pizza shop. Hitoshi followed Katsuki into the busy shop. They walked towards the staff area. They walked through the kitchen to An office. Katsuki opened another door which lead them to another hallway. Hitoshi was shocked that pizza shop was this big on the inside. Katsuki walked confidently few doors down the hallway. He opened it. Hitoshi looked over his shoulder.

They were was Mina, Momo and Ochaco sitting around a table. Katsuki doesn't greet them as he join them at the table. Hitoshi was about to sit next to Katsuki when Mina grabbed him and guide him to chair next to her.

"You look so cute in your little suit."cooed Mina.

"Why did you want me here?"asked katsuki with annoyance. He wanted to go home and get settled.

"Oh! Because there was paparazzi outside your house. So we still trying make them leave."said Momo.

"Why the fuck are you so popular?"asked Hitoshi. He would assume Katsuki being the mafia son meant that Katsuki keeps a low profile but apparently not. Hitoshi doesn't want to deal with celebrity status.

"Because Katsuki is known for being a hothead and journalist knows they can get a good headline if they follow him around."said Mina. Katsuki was about to disagree when Ochaco spoke.

"Or the fact that the bakugou's donate millions to large charities so people like following around rich people."said Ochaco. Hitoshi raised an eyebrow. He knew Katsuki was rich but his family gave away that much money. How much do they earn?!

"Or because he named the most eligible bachelor 3 years in a row." Said Momo. Hitoshi rolled his eyes. Great! His new caregiver is hoe.

Katsuki narrowed his eyes while the others started laughing. Hitoshi realized he thought out loud. He didn't apologize instead he glare back.

"I like it better when you were quiet."said katsuki. Hitoshi knew that Katsuki probably didn't mean it like that. But his heart ache slightly hearing it. Hitoshi glare faded into a masked expression. Katsuki didn't like the icky feeling he got as Hitoshi expression changed.

"This place has a decent three meat pizza. If you hungry." Katsuki mentions causally. The women looked at Katsuki like he was a different person. Hitoshi tried not to chuckle at katsuki attempting to comfort him.

"I am not but thanks for asking." Said Hitoshi.

"I am hungry!"said Mina.

"You can buy me a pizza!"said Ochako. Katsuki glared at them.

"No."said said katsuki. Mina pouts while ochaco frown slightly. They thought he was in a good mood. They realized at same time that Katsuki now has a weakness. They looked at Hitoshi with pleading eyes. Hitoshi glared at them.

"Fuck no."said Hitoshi. He didn't even want to know what they were planning. Momo chuckled. Katsuki and Hitoshi are the perfect pair. Mina phone chimed.

"The security finally remove the last person."said Mina.

"I drive!"said Ochaco. She likes going to the bakugou's manor. She looking at the beautiful scenery. Bakugou allowed it but he gave her the same threat. However, she wasn't as affected by it as she realized katsuki cares for the little in his own way.

~At the bakugou manor

Hitoshi was in awe as ochaco drove down a long driveway. The driveway has greenery outlining the path. They arrived at a beautiful fountain. They exited the car to enter the home. Hitoshi walked in and looked at the high ceiling with amazement.

"I will give a tour of main wing later. I want to get change first." Said katsuki. He lead Hitoshi through the foyer area and to double spiral staircase. They went to the right. Katsuki lead them through different hallways. Hitoshi got confused after a while. They enter a door that open to a living room.

"Welcome home." Said katsuki. They left the living room and went upstairs to the bedroom. Katsuki points to the door behind him.

"This is my room." Said Katsuki. He points to door across from it. " that's yours. The old hag said she decorated it." He adds. Hitoshi noticed the door next to it titled nursery. Katsuki opened the nursery door. Hitoshi walked in.

The nursery was elephant themed with blue accents. The room had a bed with railing on the side. A rocking chair by the window and a shelf. There a toy bin. He walked to the closet. It was filled with different onesies.

"I am shopping later. So if you want buy anything else." Said katsuki. Hitoshi shook his head. He walked to bathroom. It was finding Nemo themed. He opened another door that lead directly to his own room from the bathroom.

His room was decorated with soft grey color. He noticed the desk that had computer monitor. He immediately went to get to check out the specs.

"Don't get caught." Said katsuki as he stood nearby.Hitoshi scoffed.

"Never."said Hitoshi. He wouldn't get caught hacking even if he did, he suspects Katsuki would make the cops sweep under the rug. Hitoshi immediately started powering on the system and multiple monitors as he sat in a luxurious gaming chair.

Katsuki looked at Hitoshi relax in the chair as the he stares at the loading screen with excitement. He smiles fondly as he felt pride in his heart. Hitoshi likes his gift. He spend hours researching computers and systems for him. It was totally worth it to see Hitoshi happy.

At the bakugou manor

Katsuki knocked on the ajar door before entering Hitoshi room. Hitoshi was still sitting at the computer. There were multiple things at different monitors. One monitor even had a YouTube video playing.

"Come eat."said katsuki. Hitoshi shook his head.

"Not hungry."said Hitoshi as he continued to type on his keyword.

"I wasn't asking. Get ya ass up."said katsuki. Hitoshi ignored the caregiver. Katsuki stormed to the desk. He slammed his hand on the desk.

"Get ya ass up." katsuki growls. Hitoshi was unfazed by Katsuki demand. Katsuki narrowed his eyes.

"I will turn the WiFi off right now. If you don't get up."said Katsuki. Hitoshi begrudgingly raising from his chair. He follows Katsuki to the kitchen. There was a feast laid at on the table. Hitoshi eyes widen.

"We having guests today?"asked Hitoshi. There no way just the two of them can eat this. Hitoshi not even such it can even eat a full plate of this without getting full.

"No. Now sit."said katsuki. Hitoshi took a seat across from him. The food smelt amazing and look delicious. He watched as katsuki served him a plate with each item.  Hitoshi look at the full capacity plate.

"I can't eat this." Said Hitoshi.

"Why the fuck not?"asked katsuki.

"No offense."Hitoshi began. Katsuki starts glaring at him. " but I literally can't eat this."he said. Katsuki interrupts him.

"My cooking is way better than the shit the prison serves."said katsuki. Hitoshi felt bad now. Katsuki cook to feast and he probably won't be able taste most of it due to his small stomach. He is once again mad at his ex foster parents for neglect of him. 

"You interrupted me. I need water."said Hitoshi. He wasn't lying. I would like something to drink as he force him to eat everything. He didn't have heart to tell katsuki physically can't eat his plate but Katsuki looks proud stating he cooked. Thats probably why he wanted Hitoshi to eat now instead of later so he see his response to tasting it.

Katsuki left the table to pour a glass of water. He returned to seat after handing it to Hitoshi. Hitoshi starts eating. The sides tasted delicious. He tried not eat too quickly.

Katsuki smirked as he watched Hitoshi hum in delight as he ate. Katsuki starts eating shortly after him.

Hitoshi was enjoying the food but after half of plate was gone. His tummy felt like he was going to popped. He was glad that he changed out of his suit early and into a t shirt and joggers because he felt his abdomen stretching his waist brand of his joggers slightly. He glanced at Katsuki who was almost done with his food. He ignored the ache in tummy as he forced himself to finish the plate.

He took the last few bites while Katsuki was clearing the table. Hitoshi felt terrible. He wanted to rub his aching tummy but he didn't want make Katsuki concern. Katsuki was wrapping up the leftovers while Hitoshi was washing off his plate at the sink.

"We are watching a movie after this." He states. Hitoshi would had agreed to bonding with him but he really wanted to go lay down and wait for the pain to go away.

"No."said Hitoshi.

"It wasn't a question."said katsuki. Hitoshi could push back and argue that his statement was demand. But he really wants to sit down because he feels tired. He just nods. They left the kitchen. He followed Katsuki to the home theater. It looked like small movie theater. It even had a popcorn machine in the back.

Katsuki took a seat in the third row of reclining seats. Hitoshi join him. Katsuki points a remote towards the projector. It was like a big smart tv. He searched up sci fix movies. Hitoshi was surprised katsuki knew that. He assumed he would wasn't listening to him.

Katsuki pick a trending movie in that section to watch before placing the remote down. He looked at Hitoshi.

"Don't you dare talk."said Katsuki. Hitoshi rolled his eyes. He doesn't talk during movie anyways. The movie began. It immediately caught Hitoshi attention with the amazing world building. Katsuki was silently judging the actors acting skills.

As the movie progressed, the worse Hitoshi felt. He wanted to rub his tummy so bad to soothe the pain but didn't because he didn't want to get katsuki attention.

He glanced at Katsuki who look disappointed at the character decision on screen. He longed to be in his embrace. Kacchan cuddles are the best. Kacchan-. Hitoshi shook his head to make the thought go away. He can't be little right now.

Then he realized he isn't in foster parent care. He could be little if he wants to. But he is nervous. It just katsuki and him. If katsuki doesn't want to take care of him, shoto won't be here to help. The thought of being abandoned made his heart ache.

Then the discomfort in abdomen pulled him out of his thoughts. He wants warm cuddles no needs cuddles!

Katsuki felt Hitoshi staring at him. He turned to look at him. Hitoshi whimpered. Katsuki paused the movie.

"Forehead, what's wrong?"he asked. Hitoshi didn't answer instead he climbed into Katsuki lap and curl up. Katsuki wrapped his arms around him. Hitoshi nuzzled his face into the crook of Katsuki shoulder. Katsuki rubs hitoshi back. Hitoshi whines. He wants tummy rubs not back rubs. He moves the caregiver hand to his tummy.

Katsuki immediately felt how distended his abdomen was. He starts thinking of things that could be wrong. Hitoshi whines. He pats Katsuki that is resting on his tummy. Katsuki starts rubbing in a small circle.

"Does your tummy hurt?"asked Katsuki. Hitoshi didn't know for answer that. Technically his tummy is hurting but being in his embrace makes it feel a lot better!

"Yes or no?"asked Katsuki. Hitoshi whines in frustration. Katsuki assumes yes. He picks Hitoshi up and carries him on his hip. Hitoshi whines when the tummy rubs stop. Katsuki took Hitoshi to the living room for better lighting. He lifts Hitoshi shirt up to show his now bloated tummy.

Katsuki thought about what could cause a bloated stomach. He starts recalling Hitoshi food intake. Then he realizes something. All meals he ate today was significantly smaller than what he just had for dinner.

"You idiot, you overate."said katsuki. Hitoshi smiles apologetically. His smile disappeared when his tummy ache. Katsuki rubbed the little tummy. Hitoshi was able to relax again. Katsuki took him to his room. Katsuki room was plain looking. He placed Hitoshi on the bed. The little starts whining. Katsuki join in bed. He continues to rub Hitoshi tummy as he began telling a story about a robot.

Katsuki story had a great beginning but as the story progressed, he was running out of ideas. So the story had a lot twist. Hitoshi seemed to enjoy. He enjoyed so much that he didn't want to leave to go potty. But Katsuki noticed the little squirming.

"Go potty."said Katsuki. Hitoshi pouts. He wants hear the rest of the story. Katsuki repeat himself. Hitoshi pouts as he begrudgingly walks to bathroom attach to the bedroom. Katsuki research how to slowly improve someone stomach size.

Hitoshi exit the bathroom after 10 mins. He was ready for rest of story but Katsuki forgot what happened last in the story.

"About we watch a movie?"asked Katsuki. Hitoshi didn't look interested.

"It about a mom that gets kidnapped to mars."Katsuki adds. Hitoshi excites nods. He grabs Katsuki hand to tug him out of bed. They went to home theater. Katsuki went back to his spot. Hitoshi curl up onto his caregiver lap. Katsuki played the movie. Hitoshi didn't even get see half of it because he fell asleep.

After the movie ended, katsuki carried Hitoshi to bed. He tried to place the little in the bed in the nursery. Hitoshi whined desperately as he clings to Katsuki.

"If you can sleep with me, but only this one time." Said katsuki. Hitoshi nods sleepily.
