Betrayal hurts, and so does this punch

3rd Person POV
Today is around two weeks prior to Rimuru revealing his reason to be a hero to Izuku, and they’ve been training at Dagobah beach everyday here. Rimurus plan is strict and has a tight schedule, but following it will pay off for the both of them
Currently Izuku is getting his ass handed to him by Rimuru, who he hasn’t been able to land a good hit on yet. Rimuru’s training is rough, but effective. Izuku has been learning quite a lot about combat styles, and ways to counteract attacks from Rimuru. They’ve mostly been training their hand-to-hand combat, which would be best for Izuku to learn first in terms of fighting.
Izuku has gotten better, because at first he could barely even throw a punch at Rimuru, and had no sense of how you should move your body for better effectiveness. This was the first thing Izuku was taught. How he can punch effectively, while integrating how hard he should punch, and where he should punch.
The styles he was being taught were based around a few forms of martial arts, which mostly focused on precise and fast attacks that would hit vital or weak points, rather than brute strength, which Izuku didn’t have much of anyway.
Despite him getting better, his attacks were still easy to read so he was being thrown around by Rimuru again, after getting his arm caught.
Izuku: “OOuuff!” Izuku had just been slammed on the ground again by Rimuru, and he was getting kinda upset about being thrown around.
Rimuru: ‘Phew” “You good man? Was I too rough with that?”
Izuku: “uhg. No no it’s fine. I just wish I could get stronger faster, so I wouldn’t be a dang ragdoll over and over.”
Rimuru: “Welll you can’t rush progress unfortunately, but you are getting better! Your attacks are just too predictable.”
Izuku: “They’re predictable?”
Rimuru: “Yeah, it's like you don’t leave me guessing where you're gonna hit next, something just shows where the next hit is going to be, or your attacks are just so similar.”
Izuku: “Are you sure you're not just using one of your skills, Rimuru?”
Rimuru: “GASPS” “Do you doubt my ability to fight without them??”
Izuku: “Pales” “No No No No, I just thought that-” Before Izuku could finish he took a punch in the stomach, which sent him far back, landing on his back with the wind knocked out of him.
Izuku: “whaaat wass thaaat forrrrr???” he said while clutching his stomach.
Rimuru: “THAT, was for what you did three days ago!” He said matter-of-factly.
Izuku: “YOU'RE STILL MAD ABOUT THAT??”
Rimuru: “Of course I’m still mad! You remember what you did??”
—FLASHBACK—
It was a Tuesday, and Rimuru asked Izuku if he wanted to come over to his house after school, which luckily ended early due to a fight that had broken out between a hero and a villain near the school. This was the first time Izuku had been over to Rimuru’s house since they met, and of course, Izuku was ecstatic about it.
Izuku had been asking over and over about Rimuru’s family, and if he shouldn’t do anything when meeting them, he was obviously worried for no reason, which Rimuru kept trying to tell Izuku, but to no avail. Rimuru said he would explain about his family's property when they got there, because he thought Izuku would be kinda shocked, which confused Izuku.
They arrived at Rimuru’s house, and Izuku was in fact, quite shocked with what he saw. The property was in a not very populated neighborhood that had a lot of open land. His family's whole property was about five acres (217800 square feet). That was shared by Rimuru’s mom and dad, along with some of their extended family, like Rimuru’s Aunts and uncles, and his mom’s parents.
They had a big house that was about 4,500 square feet, that had a pool, with a hot tub, a tennis court, a small soccer court, a big garden that had all kinds of plants, with a small moat in it. They had an extra shed that was a gym, which had top grade equipment, in fact there was a lot more fancy stuff around here, than Izuku had anticipated.
Izuku: “Rimuru…. Are you secretly rich and never told me?”
Rimuru: “Ehhhh it depends on how you define “rich” really. Like we aren't “rich, rich” but my family owns a successful business that is a worldwide institution, so… we have good money.”
Izuku: “This is a little more than “good” money Rimuru! I mean just how many buildings are on this property??”
Rimuru: “Uhhh five?”
Izuku: “FIVE??”
Rimuru: “Yea there's my house, the barn, the two houses my aunts and uncles have, and my grandparents house.”
Izuku: “Scoffs” “I can’t believe you never told me…” He wasn’t mad at Rimuru, he just doesn’t see how this is something Rimuru decided not to share.
Rimuru: “WELL I'm sorry! I just didn’t think it was that important to mention. Well, whatever, just follow me to my house ok??”
Izuku: “Ok, ok, just don’t be upset when I keep freaking out about the stuff you have.”
Rimuru: “Even though you already know you're still gonna freak out?”
Izuku: “Yep!”
Rimuru: “SIGH” “Ok fine.”
With that, they walked to the front door of Rimuru’s house. Rimuru took a key out of his pocket and unlocked the door.
Rimuru: “MOM I’m home! And I brought a friend!” He shouted
After waiting for a few seconds Izuku saw someone turn a corner, and he immediately blushed. She was a tall woman, with a slender figure, who had long blue hair that was a bit darker than Rimuru’s. She had white eyes that seemed to glow a bit, much like Rimuru’s eyes. She was
Aomi: “Hello there! You must be Midoriya right? I’ve heard a lot about you!”
Izuku: “A-ah, Y-yes! I’m Midoriya Izuku! But you can just call me Izuku if you want.” Izuku shook Aomi’s hand, while Rimuru just watched with interaction with an annoyed look on his face.
Aomi: “Well it’s a pleasure to meet you Izu-chan! Rimuru has been talking about you a lot!”
Izuku: “Izu-chan?-”
Rimuru: “MOM! THAT IS NOT-”
Aomi: “Not what? It’s true, don't deny it~”
Rimuru: “UGH, MOOOOMMMM! WHATEVER! Let's go Izuku!” Rimuru grabbed the still confused Izuku’s arm and dragged him away towards his room.
Along the way Izuku was able to get glimpses of more of Rimurus house. Despite him claiming that his family was not rich, Izuku had spotten plenty of appliances, and furniture that were quite fancy. Why they had two tv’s in their living room, Izuku didn’t know.
They got to Rimuru’s room, and he quickly opened it. And, yet again, Izuku was shocked by what he saw. Rimuru’s room was big, like twice the size of his own. With its own bathroom, and big closet. He had a big bed that had a roof over it, that was made with a pattern that obviously was hard to make. He had three dressers that had collectibles all on top of them. He had a big tv stand filled with games or discs for movies, an xbox s, a ps5, a nintendo switch, an oculus quest three, a wii, and a big tv.
On the left corner he had a freaking large gaming setup with three monitors, and what he could only assume was an expensive pc. He even had an expensive looking gaming chair! Overall, Izuku was just baffled by what Rimuru had in his room, and he kept saying his family wasn’t rich. He is seriously doubting that.
Izuku: “Rimuru… now you really can’t convince me that your family isn’t rich because I swear, the stuff in your room is more expensive than the stuff I have in my whole house!”
Rimuru: “OK, that is very exaggerated Izuku, and do you realllly have to keep talking about that? I know you said you were going to, but c’mon!”
Izuku: “Alright, alright, fine, fine. I won’t talk about you being spoiled.”
Rimuru: “I’M NOT SPOILED??”
Izuku: “Pff, sure, whatever you sayy.”
Rimuru: “Whatever. Anyway, make yourself at home, I’m goin’ to see if my dads home, i’ll be right back.”
Izuku: “Ok.”
Even though Rimuru told Izuku to “make himself at home” Izuku had a hard time doing so. It was just he was worried about him being around all this possibly expensive stuff, and he really didn’t want to mess anything up.
So he just sat on the bean bag chair in the corner. He started thinking about what Rimuru and him were going to do today, and he was getting excited, thinking he might teach him some cool new combat techniques, or show off some of his cool powers. As he was eagerly waiting in Rimuru’s room he heard some commotion outside.
Izuku: “I know he wanted me to stay, but I wanna check out what's going on.” He said as he got up and out the door.
He poked his head around the corner, and was quite surprised with what he saw. Rimuru was being hugged by a woman with pink hair, and a man standing next to them looking amused. He was tall, with red hair, and eyes.
???: “AHHHH! I missed you so much Rimu! How are you doing??”
Rimuru: “Aggghhhh, I missed you too, but I c-cant breaaaathhh!” He said and then the woman looked surprised and released Rimuru.
???: “Oh! I’m sorry! You alright?”
Rimuru: “Yes, yes I’m fine. Hey uncle beni” He said to the man who was watching this ordeal.
???: “Hey kid how you doing?” He ruffled Rimuru’s hair.
Izuku: “Uhhhhh? Rimuru?” He said, which made Rimuru spin around and look behind him to see Izuku was there.
Rimuru: “Oh, hey Izuku! Sorry I made you wait, but c’mere don’t be shy!” Izuku blushed at this comment.
Izuku: “I’m not shy! Shut up!”
Rimuru: “Yea, yea sure. Anyway, Izuku, This is my uncle Benimaru, and my aunt Shuna, their relatives from my mothers side.”
Benimaru: “Nice to meet ya kid, Izuku was it? Hope Rimuru Isn't giving you too much trouble?”
Rimuru: “Wha?? Why would I be giving him trouble??”
Benimaru: “C’mon kid, you were always a troublemaker and you know it.”
Rimuru: “HMPH” He grunted and looked away, he seemed a bit embarrassed.
Benimaru: “Heh, and this is my little sister Shuna.” He gestured towards her, and she gave a warm smile.
Shuna: “It's nice to meet you!” She said, bowing a little to Izuku.
Izuku: “Yea! I’m Izuku Midoriya, it’s nice to meet you both! And to be honest, Rimuru here has given me a little trouble.” He said with a smirk, as he gave a little side eye to Rimuru, who looked betrayed.
Rimuru: “WHAT DO YOU MEAN?? CMON IZUKU BE COOL!” He said while looking like he wanted to strangle Izuku.
Benimaru: “Hehe, oh Rimuru, you’ll never change will you?”
Rimuru: “UUUUGGGHHHH.” Rimuru was obviously getting annoyed, but he looked so embarrassed that Izuku had to suppress a laugh.
Just then they heard a door burst open, and they saw a woman who was, well endowed, and was even taller than Benimaru, with light purple hair, and she was wearing what looked like a purple business suit.
Izuku blushed at the sight of her, and looked away. He wondered why so many people in Rimuru’s family had some kind of defining feature that made them look amazing.
???: “RIMURU! HI, HEY RIMURU! HOW ARE YOU DOING?? WHO’S THAT??” She was yelling and was obviously excited, as she ran over and hugged Rimuru.
Rimuru: “Heyyyy, aunt Shion, I’m doin’ fine, and this is my friend Izuku Midoriya.” He gestured to Izuku and, he waved, still flustered because of the woman.
Shion: “Hey, hey Midoriya! It’s nice to meet you! Hope Rimu isn’t giving you trouble!”
Rimuru: “OK, WHAT IS WITH EVERYONE SAYING I CAUSE TROUBLE!?!” Rimuru yelled, looking more annoyed than ever, and he was clutching his head.
Shion: “HAHAHAH! You're as easy to tease as ever, Rimu!” She said cheerfully as Rimuru was looking very irritated.
Shuna: “Oh Rimuru! I just remembered I have some outfits I made that I would like you to try on!”
Rimuru’s face morphed from one of anger to surprise to scared, which Izuku had no idea what was wrong with the prospect of trying on an outfit.
Rimuru: “Uh-uh-uh-uh no thank you! I-I gotta go hang out with Izuku! Yes! We have plans for today, soooo we can't stay long! Yup!” He said while stammering, and Izuku still had no idea what was wrong here.
Izuku: “Uhhhh, no we don’t Rimuru, you haven’t told me anything about what we were gonna do today?” He said, oblivious to Rimuru’s inevitable peril.
As Izuku said that, Rimuru turned to Izuku with a face that had betrayal written all over it. He was mortified, and Izuku was still oblivious as to why.
Shuna: “Oh! Well if you don’t have any plans then you're free to try them on right?”
Rimuru: “Uhhhhhh…….” He couldn’t find any words to say as he realized his doom was creeping ever closer.
Shuna: “You want to join in too Shion?”
Shion: “OF COURSE! Rimu always looks so cute in the outfits you make him! You want to come too new kid?”
Izuku noticed Rimuru start shaking his head repeatedly, but chose to ignore it.
Izuku: “Sure, I guess. It could be fun.” When he said this, Rimuru gave him a deadpan stare that just bore into Izuku.
Shuna: “Great! I’ll get the outfits out of the car! Shion, take them to the dressing room please!”
Shion: “Of course! Let's go boys!” She said as she dragged Rimuru there and Izuku followed
Izuku: “They have a whole dressing room too?? Sheesh..” Izuku couldn’t help but be baffled at all the intricacies of the Tempest household. What next there would be an indoor theater??
Rimuru still had that deadpan stare as he was being dragged by Shion to the dressing room, and it was solely faced at Izuku. Izuku was still confused as to why Rimuru was so reluctant to try on the clothes that Shuna made.
When they arrived in the dressing room, Shion was getting Rimuru set up to try on the clothes. Shuna had arrived soon after with a box, and Benimaru had been carrying two. This was what Izuku assumed the clothes were being kept, and was surprised at the amount that would most likely be in those boxes.
Authors Notes: In case it crossed your mind, no they don’t strip Rimuru down for this, they just put the clothes on over the ones he already has mk?
Shuna opened one of the boxes which revealed a variety of different outfits for Rimuru to try on. Izuku sweatdropped at some of the outfits, as he was now getting an idea of why Rimuru was being so reluctant to do this.
Shuna: “Here try this one on!” She said as she and Shion put on a fancy looking suit on Rimuru, and Izuku was baffled at the sheer speed they were able to put something like that on Rimuru. Usually it took him like ten minutes to put a suit on…. He wasn’t the best at that ok?
Shion: “How about this one!” She put him in a samurai outfit, which Izuku had no idea how it fit in that box, but he wasn’t going to question it.
Over the course of about thirty minutes, they put Rimuru in many different outfits. Such as frilly dresses, punk fits, more suits, a farmer outfit, a cat outfit? All kinds of styles one would see in like an old movie or something, there was many to be had.
Shuna: “Hey Izuku, want to choose an outfit?” She asked
Izuku: “Uh, sure! Why not?”
Izuku went over to one of the boxes and looked around at the assortment of outfits, until he saw one that he knew would incriminate him with Rimuru, but that didn’t matter much in the moment.
Izuku: “How about this one?” He held up a bunny suit that seemed kinda revealing, and don’t get Izuku wrong there was no perverted intention here at all, he just wanted to mess with Rimuru as much as possible.
Upon seeing this, Rimuru’s face looked even more mortified if that was possible, then it turned into a cold one that would strike fear into the heart of anyone who saw it, and anyone could tell that he was planning revenge with the way he looked at Izuku.
They got Rimuru in the outfit, and it indeed was revealing. Not in a too excessive way, but still. And Rimuru had a face that just showed he was feeling, which was starting to scare Izuku, he hoped Rimuru would forgive him.
A while later after they put all the outfits up, Shion, Shuna, and Benimaru were hanging out with Rimuru’s mom and dad, which was Izukus first time meeting Rimuru’s dad, so he Introduced himself.
Samuel: “Nice to meet ya kid, hope Rimuru isn’t giving you any trouble.”
Despite this comment Rimuru had been dead silent for a while, occasionally talking with his relatives, but not to Izuku. Izuku was getting worried that he really made Rimuru mad. He didn’t want to lose Rimuru so soon.
After all his relatives went home, Rimuru and Izuku headed back to Izuku’s house. Rimuru used his wings to fly Izuku to his house. They were both quiet the whole time, and the tension was palpable. When they landed Izuku was fidgeting nervously, hoping his friendship with Rimuru was fine.
Izuku: “Ok… uh… I’ll see you some other time Rimuru…?” Upon saying this, Rimuru looked up at him with a big smile, that was almost scary.
Rimuru: “Of course! I’m a little busy for the next few days, so I'll message you when we’ll meet up again, ok?”
Izuku: “Oh, ok! Yea! Just tell me when, I look forward to it!” Izuku was relieved that Rimuru still wanted to see him, but he didn’t like the look he was giving him.
Rimuru: “Yes….. I look forward to it as well~” He said with a grin that sent shivers down Izuku’s spine.
Rimuru: “Bye bye Izuku!” He said as he flew off.
Izuku: “Uh, bye Rimuru!” Izuku said, but he still couldn’t get that sinking feeling out of his stomach. He had no idea what was in store for him.
-–3 Days Later—
It was early in the morning, and Izuku was still tired while eating breakfast. Then he felt his phone vibrate, he looked at it and it was a message from Rimuru. It said that he wanted to meet Izuku at Dagobah beach for training. Izuku was happy to hear from Rimuru, he wondered what kind of training Rimuru had for him. A while later Izuku arrived at the beach, and saw Rimuru waiting there for him.
Izuku: “Hey Rimuru! How are you doing?”
Rimuru: “Hey Zuku! I’m doing good! Are ya ready for today's training?”
Izuku: “Yea! What are we doi-”
Before Izuku could finish he took a punch to the stomach. Rimuru had moved so fast that Izuku couldn’t see him move toward him. And. It. Was. Painful. Izuku had landed on his back, clutching his stomach.
Izuku: “Whyyyy did youuu doo thatttt?”
Rimuru: “Today’s training! Hand-to-hand combat! You must be prepared for anything!” Rimuru said cheerfully as Izuku was slowly getting up, still clutching his stomach.
Izuku: “Uggghhh, ok but please don’t do that again…”
Rimuru: “Surrreeee…’
—Back To The Present—
Rimuru: “Betrayal hurts, don’t it Midoriya?”
Izuku: “Yeaaa, yea it does…”
Rimuru: “Ok, ok I won’t punch you anymore. Also, do you want to come over to my house again?”
Izuku: “Uh, sure! What are we going to do?”
Rimuru: “Oh, you’ll see…” He said with a sly grin, which made Izuku have that sinking feeling in his stomach again.
—Later—
Izuku: “Hey thanks for flying me here again Rimuru! You, uh, want to tell me what we're doing?”
Rimuru: “Yea! Follow me!” He said, sending shivers down Izuku’s spine with how he said it.
Rimuru led him through the house and to the dressing room.
Izuku: “What are we doing here Rimuru? You gettin’ dressed up again~?” He said mockingly
Rimuru: “No. But you are~!”
Izuku: “...What…?”
Just then Shion and Shuna came out holding an assortment of different outfits, and Izuku’s fate was just starting to dawn upon him. He looked over at Rimuru.
Izuku: “This is revenge…. Isn’t it?”
Rimuru: “You betcha! Now! Let's get you dressed up Izu!”
Over the next few hours Izuku went through the torture that Rimuru did, all the while Rimuru was taking pictures and laughing at his expense throughout the whole thing. This is when Izuku declared in his mind.
Izuku’s Thoughts: “I will never make fun of Rimuru again, unless I want to go through this hell…”
TC Rimuru: (Damn right Izu)
Izuku: “AHH!”
