Okay imagine this - (you don't have to do it, you can delete this if it makes you uncomfy, I love you and you have done nothing wrong ever) - but IMAGINE okay?
Bakugo Katsuki, The Dynamight, number two hero, and his child with you is quirkless (bonus if reader is also quirkless)
Imagine the disappointed ambition - he was so sure the kid would inherit his quirk or something similar, he was so sure - especially since the kid looks like Katsuki - and yet...
I guess I'm in mood for hurt-comfort đ
Honestly, I see this affecting our dearest mama here, as itâs likely for Katsuki to really fall for someone after being a bully/jerk to them.
Imagine his quirkless sweetheart, desperate to please and impress at all times because theyâre just useless without a quirk (thanks to his bullying in the past) and realizing their child inherited their quirkless gene?

A child is a gift so precious one must always be careful never to forsake it.
Thatâs what his hag-mother always said at least. The endless joy though which his daughter brought truly lived up to her words though. A gift. A precious, incredibly tiny and fragile, gift he swore to never forsake as he held the bundle in his arms at the hospital.
You looked beautiful even after so long in labor. Joy painting your features and making his heart ache from the sugar being injected into his veins. The love and adoration in your eyes only making his resolve harden further, to protect you both and love you two till his last breath.
So what changed from that moment till now? As a normally happy rambunctious toddler sits in complete stillness with eyes wide in horror. You didnât look any better, skin perspiration more than his own on a usual day, lip being chewed until the skin breaks and heâs forced to grip you tightly.
âHeyâ,â his gruff voice wakes you up.
âIâm so sorryâŚâ his brows furrow in confusion, your apology unexpected and odd.
âThe fuck are you sorry for?â He feels the atmosphere in the room start to divulge, his child and you both acting as if youâd heard a cancer diagnosis and not something heâd already considered the possibility of. Of course heâd wanted his daughter to have a quirk, but it didnât call for such a grave reaction.
âItâs all my fault⌠Iâm so sorry babyâŚâ the tears freak him out more, your tears flowing endlessly as you stare at him with such hopeless eyes heâs startled to his core. Dark garnet eyes widening as a sick feeling enters his gut, something churning he canât even name. âI failed both you and our daughter, making her weak and worthless like meâ,â Heâs going to be sick for sure, the sterile little clinic room starting close in on him.
Heâs Dynamight, number 2 pro hero, and only because shit for brains Deku was better with the media but still, heâs not sure what to do. How to fix it, as you hold your child and cry, asking for forgiveness from him.
It makes him remember every instance of the past he cringes and does his best to avoid thinking on. Every tug of your hair, every shove to the floor, every time he made you feel small for something so superficial as not having a quirk.
Your tears were endless, and they seemed to spur on his daughter as well, her little sniffles making him nearly enraged as the door creeks open at the worst moment and the doctor returns.
The womanâs sympathetic gaze make him want to punch her, the way she seems understanding and not offended as himself.
âIt can be a hard acceptance Mrs. Bakugo, Iâm happy to recommend some quirkless support groups for the two of you, then we can look at some family care plansâ,â
âWhat. The. Fuck. Are you talking about? Support group? They donât need a fucking support group, your raggedy ass bitchâ!â
âKatsuki!â âMr. Bakugo?!â âPapa?â
It didnât matter, he wasnât hearing words anymore, top blown and his tempter unleashed as he nearly blows the door off after throwing you both over his shoulder and storming out. Cursing the entire way, uncaring of the phones being pulled out and people whispering and recording. Heâd get an earful from the agency but it hardly computed in his mind.
Your fault? It seemed clear enough it was his fault. When all he ever did was make you feel belittled for your quirklessness, small and weak because of it, and now what did it do?
It passed on to his own fucking kid. His fault. This was his fucking fault.
His own eyes were admittedly wet as he shuts you both up in the car. Making sure you both are buckled in safely before he nearly screams once heâs seated behind the wheel. He wants to scream more, yell and break something to deal with the flood of guilt and shame washing him like an old friend.
He never apologized, only pushed it all away like the bullying and harassment never occurred when he started courting you. Heâd been in love with you, and that bullying was his sick revenge for making him feel so much adoration for a single individual.
His frame engulfs the seat, muscles taunt and wide chest heaving as he calms down slowly to your silent tears and wobbly bottom lip.
âKatsuki⌠can we not have any discussions with her in the carâŚ? Maybe weâŚ,â you lick your lips as you fumble over yourself like a nervous wreck in the passenger seat, eyes wide and pacifying as you give him a look filled with a plea. ââMaybe we could have her stay with your mother tonight?â
Because you think heâs angry at you and at her.
For being quirkless.
The most defenseless and precious people to him, the two heâd sworn to never hurt or mistreat, now looking at him with complete devastation and heartbreak. His daughter is never usually so silent and still, sitting like a little doll in her car seat.
Heâd always been a confident man. Unshakeable and firm in his resolve because he refused to settle and let himself be anything less than the best.
For all he is though, heâs never felt more helpless and human.
You flinch when the first tear falls.
The sight just as jarring as the realization your child is like you.
Katsukiâs eyes widen before narrowing as he grits his teeth and bares them like a hurt animal, tears spilling as he slams his head on the steering wheel in frustration. The windows tinted and thankfully adding a touch of privacy heâs grateful for now.
âIâm sorryâ!â Itâs wobbly and hissed like a curse, his apology burning his throat as he forces it out. He canât look at you as he wipes at his face, shaking his head as he clears it to focus long enough to repeat himself.
âIâm so fucking sorryânever, never did I think less of you âcuz you didnât have a damn quirkâ! I was an asshole, a piece of shit that didnât know how to deal with my crush on you, so I fucking ruined it by picking on you.â His eyes are blood shot, kept wide to prevent anymore liquid spillage but the way his entire face and body scrunch up, itâs difficult to believe heâs able to stop himself on sheer will alone.
âPapaâŚ?â Itâs like a slap to the face when he looks over at his daughter to see a spitting image of you both in her, features more like him but personality following you in a way that makes him melt.
âYâlisten good,â he gathers himself up better as he addresses your daughter now. âYou will never be less than anyone else, quirk or no quirk, yâhear me?â
âButâ,â
âNo buts. Itâs not up for debate. A quirk doesnât classify a personâs value. It never has. We just associate them with power when in fact, a bunch of useless quirk havinâ shit stains run the country. A quirk ainât power kid, power is in will, and thatâs all you.â Heâs glad you kindly dismiss his slip in language, watching as her little eyes widen and well with tears too.
âSo Iâm not bad?â
âYouâre the best damn thing thatâs happened since I met your mom. I love your mom, donât I? Sheâs great even if she doesnât have a quirk. Strong and resilient, patient and smarter than Iâll ever be.â Heâs gripping the steering wheel so tight it may break soon if he doesnât release his grip.
Then heâs being met with you. Your arms wrapping around him, your own muffled cries in his shirt. His hands are around you just as quickly, pulling you into him as much as the small space in the vehicle allows, breathing you in and calming himself as he reaches out and unbuckles your daughter to pull her little body into the bear hug too.
âYou mean itâŚ?â Your whisper barely audible as he holds you both close.
âI donât say shit I donât mean.â
And thatâs enough for this moment. While heâs not a great man, Katsuki truly never lies, sometimes honest to a point itâs painful.
This is a bittersweet pain though.

~ Iâve been feeling a little down about myself lately, picking myself apart more than I should. But somewhere along the way, I rememberedâIâm beautiful just the way I am. That little moment of clarity inspired this fic. Itâs soft, a little raw, and full of love (with a sprinkle of smut, tehehe). I hope it reminds you of your own worth too, in some small way. Please be kind to yourselfâbecause in someone elseâs eyes, youâre literally everything. Enjoy, lovelies.

The house is quiet when you get home. Bakugouâs still at work, off saving the world while you canât even save yourself from a few damn tweets.
You didnât go looking for it. It found youâas it always does. Some fan post talking about Bakugou Katsuki, Pro Hero Dynamight. Gorgeous. Powerful. Untouchable.
And then⌠the comments.
ââ
@MtLadyMami25 :
âHeâs so hot omg I wish heâd date Mirko or Mt. Lady or someone badass like him.â
@BakubroFan648:
âHis girlfriend is cute but I feel like he needs someone stronger, yâknow?â
@quirky_shins11 :
âNo offense but sheâs not on his level.â
ââ
You lock your phone, eyes burning.
It isnât the first time. But tonight, it hits different. Maybe because youâve already been feeling off. Maybe because heâs been working so late. Maybe because some small part of you believes it. You find yourself in the mirror again. Picking. Prodding. Judging.
Why is your stomach softer than it should be?
Have your thighs always had that many stretch marks?
Why donât you look like those pro heroines with their sculpted bodies and perfect confidence?
What do you even bring to the table?
You whisper it to your reflection like itâs a sin, âWhy do you love me?â
You donât realize heâs home until you hear the door click shut. His heavy boots pause. Then you hear him call, âBaby? You home?â
Your breath catches. You stare at yourself like youâve just been caught doing something wrong. You try your best to wipe the tears away but your swollen face and blood shot eyes gave you away.
He finds you in the bathroom, standing like a ghost in front of the mirror. His brow furrows instantly. âHey⌠whatâs goinâ on?â His voice is low, careful, and it just breaks you more.
You bite your lip, look away. âNothing just had something in my eye, iâve been trying to pick it outâ he looked at you as if you had two heads.âBullshit,â he says before you can finish, stepping toward youâbut you keep going. âI Just⌠I saw some stuff online. People talking. Saying Iâm not enough for you. That Iâm not strong. Not good enough. You belong with Mt.Lady or maybe even someone like Mirkoâ you finally admit.
there was a pause he just looked at you. Your voice is barely more than a whisper when you finally ask, âWhy do you love me?â
He doesnât answer right away. Just stares at youâlike that question hurt more than anything ever could.
âKatsuki,â you whisper again, tears clinging to your lashes, âWhy me? People say you could be with anyone. Someone stronger. Someone who fits with you. Someone likeââ
âDonât,â he growls, stepping forward like heâs physically chasing away your words. âDonât say that shit ever again.â
You lower your gaze, ashamed.
âLook at me.â His voice softens, and he tilts your chin up. âYou think I give a fuck what people tweet about me? About us?â
You shrug. âI just see it all the time⌠people saying Iâm sweet but not enough. That you deserve someone on your level. A hero. A fighter. Not just⌠me.â
He exhales hard, jaw clenching.
âBaby,â he says lowly, stepping closer, âIâd blow up fucking cities for you.â
Your breath catches.
âSwear to god,â he continues. âIf it meant youâd never feel like this againâif I could burn every thought like that outta your pretty headâIâd do it. No hesitation.â
You blink fast, heart thudding.
âYou wanna know why I love you?â
You nod, silently.
âBecause youâre real. Youâre soft in a world thatâs sharp. Youâre fuckinâ light in all the bullshit I deal with. You make me feel like Iâm more than just some weapon. You heal me, every damn day, just by being here.â He pulls you against him, hands firm on your waist. âI donât need a hero. I need you.â
He leans in then, lips pressing to your temple, cheek, jawâslow and reverent.
And then, without a word, he starts to undress you. His hands donât rush. They linger. Like heâs learning your body all over again. Shirt firstâlifted over your head, his eyes not leaving yours. Then he slips your pants down, kneeling as he does. His fingers trace every dip, every curve, like theyâre sacred. When youâre left in just your bra and panties, he pulls you toward the mirror.
You tense. âSukiâŚâ
âShh,â he murmurs, standing behind you, one hand sliding under your bra to cup your breast while the other rests low on your stomach. âLook.â
You doâhesitant, but you do. His chin rests on your shoulder. âThis stomach,â he says, squeezing the soft flesh gently. âMine. I love it.â
His hand trails lower, grabbing your hip. âThese hips. Fuckinâ perfect. You know what they feel like under me? How they move when you ride me? Drives me insane.â
He slides your bra up and off, both hands coming up to cup your tits.
âThese,â he whispers, kissing your neck. âSo fuckinâ soft. So pretty. And I love the way they bounce when youâre under me. You ever see how wild you make me, baby?â
Your breath hitches. His hands are worshiping you like heâs trying to rewrite how you see yourself. He lifts your chin slightly, making you meet your own gaze again. âAnd this face,â he says softly. âI could spend the rest of my life memorizing it. The way your lips pout when youâre sleepy. The way your nose crinkles when you laugh. The way your eyes hold all that kindness that I donât have.â You feel tears welling againâbut theyâre different now. Warmer. Full.
âYou,â he says, brushing his lips against your ear, âare the only thing that makes this fucked up life feel like home.â Then his hand slides downâslow, deliberate. Across your stomach. Beneath your panties. You gasp as his fingers find you, already wet for him.
âAnd one of the things theyâll never knowâŚâ he says with a smirk, voice gravelly as he nips at your neck, âis how amazing your pussy feels.â You whimper as he strokes you, watching your reflection as your knees go weak against him.
âFuck, baby,â he groans. âLook how pretty you are like this. All fuckinâ mine.â He guides your legs apart just slightly more, still behind you, fingers teasing your entrance.
âYou think Mt. Lady could make me feel like this?â he murmurs darkly. âThink Mirko could pull sounds outta me like you do?â
His hand works you slow, lazyâlike heâs got all the time in the world.
âLet me show you,â he whispers against your skin, âexactly what I see when I look at you.â
And he does.
Over and over.
Until thereâs not a single cruel thought left in your headâjust the feeling of him, the weight of his love, and the echo of his voice promisingâŚ
âYouâre everything to me.â
dabi's first kiss is when you run into him in an alleyway while trying to get away from someone following you. he's just there, minding his business. when you approach him, ask him to help (to which he reluctantly agrees), and ends up making out with you with his back towards the street, effectively hiding you (and him bcs his dark clothes) from whoever was following you around.
Currently thinking about katsuki bakugo dragging me out of the dorms to workout over spring break because Iâm low key depressed and I donât wanna get out of bed and heâs worried but doesnât want to look like a softie.
OR I would also accept kirishima helping me do basic tasks and being all goofy, like, making me take a shower then wearing those silly headbands and doing skin care with me.
I would also very happily accept Mina making me food and opening my window to let in fresh air and cleaning my room while I showered then curling up in bed with me and watching some bad reality tv show.
Hey darling! Lovely to see you back, your writings were a part of my daily routine as it serves me some comfort for the day! đđ
Was wondering if I may request a katsuki bakugou x reader (long term relationship) where the relationship kinda hit a plateau and everything irritated him a lot, however, reader takes in all the (uncalled and unnecessary) mean words said by katsuki whilst trying not to get mean with him either until one day, reader just silently cried and he noticed it, just pause and reflected on his actions and how he has been treating reader lately (ending with some comfort if possible, thank you!)
I noticed you do titles for your writings, if I may suggest; âHavenât I given enough?â Of course, if you have an alternate title better suited for this, by all means do use it! âşď¸
Havenât I Given Enough?
The days had blurred into routine. Wake up, train, eat, work, sleepârepeat. Somewhere along the way, your relationship with Katsuki had settled into a monotonous rhythm, neither moving forward nor back. It wasnât like you werenât happy. You loved him, and you knew he loved you. But lately⌠lately, everything seemed to set him off.
âThe hell are you staring at?â he snapped one evening as you looked at him across the dinner table.
You blinked, startled. âNothing, I was justââ
âTch. Then quit lookinâ at me like I did somethinâ wrong.â He shoved a bite of food into his mouth aggressively, shoulders tense.
You exhaled softly, looking down at your own plate. He had been like this for weeksâshort-tempered, irritable, lashing out over the smallest things. You had chalked it up to stress. He had always been intense, but this was different.
At first, you tried to brush it off, meet his frustration with patience. You told yourself he wasnât truly mad at you, just taking his exhaustion out on the person closest to him. But no matter how much understanding you offered, his words still cut.
âCan you stop hovering? I can do my own shit.â
âDamn it, Y/N, do you ever stop talking?â
âFuckâs sake, do you have to be so damn sensitive about everything?â
Each one was a tiny wound, adding up until they felt like bruises beneath your skin. You swallowed the hurt each time, refusing to snap back, even when his words stung. But tonight, as you sat across from him in silence, something inside you cracked.
You didnât even realize the tears had started falling until you saw his gaze shift, his chewing slowing as his eyes locked onto your face.
You werenât sobbing, werenât making a soundâjust sitting there, staring at your untouched plate, tears slipping down your cheeks no matter how much you willed them to stop.
For the first time in weeks, the air between you stilled.
ââŚThe fuck,â Katsuki muttered, his voice quiet, almost bewildered. His brows furrowed, like he couldnât quite believe what he was seeing. âAre you⌠cryinâ?â
You pressed your lips together, hating how weak you must have looked. You shook your head slightly, but another tear slipped free, betraying you.
Katsuki put his fork down with a sharp clatter. You didnât move. Didnât speak.
And that was when it hit him.
The way you just sat there, silent, shoulders slightly hunchedânot arguing back, not calling him out, not pushing him awayâjust⌠taking it. The weight of every harsh word, every frustrated sigh, every unfair remark.
His stomach twisted.
ââŚShit.â
He ran a rough hand through his hair, guilt crawling up his throat. When the hell had he become this person? The kind who made you cry? The kind who took his bad days out on the one person who never deserved it?
His chair scraped against the floor as he pushed back from the table. You stiffened slightly when he moved, but before you could say anything, Katsuki was kneeling beside your seat, one of his calloused hands reaching up to cup your cheek.
ââŚBaby.â His voice was softer now, strained with something raw. âIâm sorry.â
You closed your eyes at the warmth of his palm, inhaling shakily. He had said a lot of mean things lately, but thisâthis felt genuine.
âI didnât mean toâŚâ Katsuki swallowed hard, his thumb brushing a stray tear away. âDidnât mean to be a fuckinâ asshole. I justââ He exhaled sharply, shaking his head. âI donât know what the hellâs wrong with me lately. Workâs been⌠I dunno, shit. But thatâs no excuse. Youââ His grip on your cheek tightened, just slightly, like he needed you to hear him. âYou donât deserve that. Any of it.â
Your lip trembled. You wanted to say it was okay, that you understood, but the truth was⌠it hurt.
ââŚI know you donât mean to,â you whispered, finally speaking, voice fragile. âBut it still hurts, Katsuki.â
The way his whole body tensed at your words was almost heartbreaking. Like he hadnât fully realized just how much he had been hurting you.
âFuck,â he muttered under his breath, squeezing his eyes shut for a second before meeting your gaze again. âIâm sorry, Y/N. Iââ He hesitated, frustration flickering in his eyesânot at you, but at himself. âI love you,â he said, voice firm but filled with something vulnerable. âI donât say it enough, but I do. And I swear, Iâll do better.â
A shaky breath left your lips, the tension in your chest easing slightly. Slowly, you reached up, covering his hand with yours.
ââŚI love you too,â you murmured, voice thick. âJust⌠donât push me away like that again.â
His throat bobbed as he nodded. âYeah. I wonât.â
And for the first time in weeks, Katsuki didnât just hear youâhe listened.
MISSING A DATE . they forget about a big date with you and realize it too late
with deku + bakugou (in their pro-hero era)
one thing about him is that he always tried his absolute best to make time for you amid his busy schedule. you understood that you weren't the only one that demanded his attention due to his work and were okay with that. as long as you still got your 'me-time' with him, where he blocked out the world and focused on you and only you, you couldn't ask for a more perfect relationship.
but this was your last straw. you had forgiven the late nights, the last-minute cancellationsâgotten used to being alone in your luxurious apartment, which only reminded you of the one thing you were missing.
you had planned this date for months. a set time where you both blocked off time that night to just be with each other in a word that tried everything to keep you apart.
"remember tonight, baby." you chirped as you kissed him goodbye that morning.
he hummed and gave you a tight hug before leaving.
you felt giddy as you prepared yourself, slipping into your best clothes and fixing yourself in the mirror. you felt as you did on the night of your first date with him. you couldn't be more excited.
then, you waited. and waited. the restaurant happily sat you next to a window, the streetlamps twinkling romantically against the dusky backdrop.
you waited some more. soon your bright posture slouched as your checked your phone. messaged him a couple times, called a few times more. he's probably just running late.
families came and went, and before you knew it, hours had passed.
you burned in embarrassment as you stared at the empty chair across from you, focusing your frustration as if he was sitting there. but even that didn't give you relief. every one of your thoughts and feelings came to the same conclusionâ
he hadn't shown up.
IZUKU
you ordered some food to-go. why not get something out of this outing? besides, the food would do good to distract you from the dread swirling in your stomach. you flashed the server a quick smile before dragging your feet out the restaurant.
you threw your bag, coat, and shoes to the ground as you walked into your apartment, uncaring of where they ended up. you needed the couch, a movie, and the food you were carrying.
a few hours later, izuku showed up. you heard the door slide open and the jangle of his keys. his heavy sigh was familiar and it almost made you feel bad for feeling so angry about him missing this date. almost.
you made no move to greet him as he entered the living space, a big grin plastered on his face. "you look pretty."
the compliment was just salt on the wound, ironically. you hummed, remaining laser focused on your show.
he tugged off his white gloves and set them on the table. "what's got you all dressed up tonight, hmm?" he sat next to you, running his hands up and down your arm.
you just handed him one of the takeout boxes. "want some?" you said dryly.
"what's thisâ? oh, i recognize the name of this restaurant..." he surveyed the box in his hands, his voice becoming quieter as he sunk into his thoughts. "oh."
you got off the couch.
"oh." he repeated, staring at the takeout box incredulously. "baby, don't tell me tonight wasâ"
"it was." you said simply, walking into the bedroom. you couldn't bear to look at him.
"fuck." you heard him hiss. a light thudding followed as he hurried after you. "y/n, god, i'm so sorryâdon't tell me you went there aloneâ"
"izuku, i don't care anymore." you turned around abruptly, making him skid to a halt before you. his expression read shock. "i don't."
he slumped and inched closer to you. "no, don't say thatâ"
"you don't give me a reason to care anymore." you laughed wryly though your lips trembled. "iâ" your breath hitched and you turned away from him.
his voice sounded watery as he tried to turn your body to face him again. "i'm so sorry, there was a hangout at the agency after work today and... shit, i totally forgotâ"
"a fucking party?" you snapped. "you blew off the date you and i planned for months in advance because we never get to spend time together anymore to hang out with the same goddamn people you see every single day?"
he groaned. "i know, i knowâ"
"you don't know, izuku." your voice quivered. "you don't, okay?" you sobbed.
he was stunned to silence, unsure of how to right something so horribly wrong.
"you don't know what it's like to always be waiting. i'm always waiting for you. you always have something better to do." you sobbed, sitting on the edge of the bed. you really didn't want to have this conversation with him; you knew you'd break down sobbing. you thought it would've been best if he didn't come back home at all.
he knelt beside you, resting his head where your knees hung over the bed. he stared up at your heartbroken face with tears threatening to flow. "there is nothing that deserves my time more than you." he said firmly.
"you say that as if it's true." you said quietly. "but you don't even..." you looked away from him to reign in your emotions.
he frowned deeply. he knew it was all his fault. you reminded him this morning and he still forgot. you had no reason to believe the words coming out of his mouth. that doesn't mean he's going to stop trying to prove them.
he rested his head against your stomach and wrapped his arms around you tightly. "you have every right to hate me right now, y/n. you've been lonely and overlooked and i haven't done anything to make things better."
you refused to look at him.
he tilted his head with hopes of catching your gaze. "y/n, i mean it. there's nothing that deserves my time more than you. anyone else would've left me. you've given me love and understanding with my hero work..." he choked on his words, finally facing the reality of his relationship. "and i've just taken it and left you behind."
you sniffled.
he stood, bending at the waist to kiss your forehead. "i love you. so much. it's time i start proving it, huh?"
your eyes flickered to his, questioning evident on your expression.
he smiled sadly. "japan has many heroes. i'm sure kacchan and todoroki can handle things without me for a while."
you huffed and rolled your eyes. "very funny. you're a hero, izuku, it's in your nature to shoulder everything." you pouted, guilt threatening to inhabit your thoughts.
he shook his head, cupping your cheeks in his hands. "i'm dead serious. the world doesn't need me everyday, you do. and i'll adjust my schedule to suit."
"but..." you groaned. "god, why do i feel guilty now?" you mumbled.
"stop it. you're not keeping me away from anything. this was long overdue. nothing would make me happier," he grinned and kissed you again before tackling you in a hug.
BAKUGOU
you left the restaurant without another word, feeling so sick to the stomach that you couldn't even bear to go home to the empty apartment.
you tried desperately to convince yourself that something important was holding him up. he didn't forget. he just had some life-threatening epic battle that he needed to attend to. he didn't forget.
you crashed at a friend's house for the night, after a very satisfying rant session about your dilemma. they were a great soundboard and didn't try to regulate your emotions. in a lot of cases, just letting your feelings fly free was the best way to cope with a situation out of your hands.
rrrring rrring
you saw the caller ID and was tempted to ignore the call. but your hands moved on their own, accepting it and putting the phone to your ear.
"y/n l/n." bakugou snarled on the other side. "where the fuck are you?"
"a friend's house."
"why?"
you shrugged, hoping your unbothered reaction would be translated across the phone. "wanted to be with someone last night after my boyfriend stood me up."
silence. a very long silence. you heard him cuss under his breath before he replied. "yesterday was our date."
you hummed.
"y/n. come home."
"i'm good here, really."
"i'm serious, come home."
"why? the off-chance of seeing you there?"
his voice grew more desperate. "y/nâ" his breath caught in his throat. "i'm home. i'm waiting for you. we can do something today, maybeâ"
"katsuki, you can't keep treating me like a test that you can make up whenever you fail the real thing. you're not there when it fucking matters." you snapped, your resolve crumbling as your eyes started to water.
he gave a weighted sigh. "you're right. i've been treating you like shit."
you scoffed.
"but you're always on my mind. every time i see you asleep when you were trying to wait up for me, iâ" he inhaled deeply, trying to keep it together. "i'm not the best boyfriend. believe me, i know that. and i'm losing you... i can see that, too."
you waited.
he sniffed. "come home, y/n. please. iâ"
you hung up. you tossed your phone aside and stretched. you gently wiped at your cheeks, realizing how many tears streaked them.
after thanking your friend for their hospitality, you decided to go home. you dreaded the conversation that awaited you. uncertainty riddled your thoughts; was this the end?
you opened the door and immediately heard pounding footsteps to meet you. bakugou stood there, looking uncharacteristically stressed and awkward.
you just gave him a passing glance as you slipped off your shoes, hanging your coat up. you walked past him, going to the washroom to refresh yourself with a much needed shower.
as the water ran down your skin, you began to feel guilty. he was a hero. he saved lives. and you were crying over a missed date with him? when his mere presence meant the safety of those around him?
no matter how valid your frustration and sadness was, you couldn't help the creeping guilt from overwriting your feelings.
you stepped out of the shower, then dressed comfortably for a night in. when you opened the bathroom door, he was waiting outside like a puppy.
you sighed. "i'm sorry." you finally said.
his neck snapped to look at you. "why the fuck are you apologizing?"
"you're a hero. i knew what i'd be signing up for when i got into a relationship with youâ"
"are you crazy?" he growled, grabbing your cheeks and tilting your face to look at him. he searched your eyes with concern, as if there was something wrong with you. "you don't need to apologize. my being a hero is no excuse for the way i've been treating you."
you frowned. "butâ"
"no." he pulled you into a hug, wrapping his arms around your head. "youâ" he laughed dryly. "i can't believe you thought to apologize to me. you're really crazy."
you opened your mouth to say something, but he cut you off. "i'm so lucky to have you. seriously. i can't live without you and i will do everything to prove that from now on."
you pulled away and looked at him. "you better mean it."
he gave you a lopsided grin. "i do. thanks..." he trailed off.
you cocked your head to the side. "for...?"
he kissed you gently. "staying." he hugged you tightly, his next words barely a whisper, "i'm always gonna be there for you."
amidst a couple of tears, you believed him.

bakugo katsuki x f!reader
angst, hurt and comfort. toxic rs (?) happy ending.
aftermath of the screaming competition youâve had with your boyfriend last night.
Synopsis: You and Bakugo were dating for years already but having a romantic relationship with him doesnât mean that heâs less meaner to you. Yesterday, he was really tired from training and overworked. When you tried to take care of him, he snapped and said hurtful things for the nth time. This has been happening over and over already.
You were laying down on the bed while scrolling on your phone. Him, on the other hand, is busy with his computer, playing a game and acting unbothered. Both of you refusing to talk to each other.
You heard him sigh to himself. His focus shifts ever so often during his match as he sneaks a glance at you from his peripheral vision. He knows he snapped at you yesterday, but at the same time he was frustrated and tired after having practiced the same move over and over for hours on end. That was no excuse to snap at you, of course, but heâd never admit that. But even while feeling a pang of guilt in his chest, Bakugo keeps his mouth shut and continues to watch his match.
The game comes to a pause and he looks over again at you. The guilt starts to eat at him more as he thinks about what he said to you yesterday. He feels the urge to say something, but his ego and pride holds him back from doing so. He sighs to himself again before deciding to talk to you.
âHey.â
You didnât, however, said anything and just keeps scrolling on your phone. That made him want to approach you, thus he sits on the bed right where you are and gives you a sidelong glance. Seeing you scrolling on your phone and looking like you donât want to talk to him, you heard him sigh to himself again.
âHey, can we talk?â
You just took a quick glance at him, âAbout what?â
Itâs not like you really donât know what he wants. He didnât fail to notice how you respond curtly. He doesnât know if itâs because youâre still mad at him or not, but he chooses his next words carefully. He doesnât want to seem like heâs being defensive towards you.
âI want to talk about yesterday⌠because I know I got a little heated and⌠said some things I shouldnât have said to you.â
He keeps his eyes on you, trying to read your expression to gauge what youâre thinking. He is honestly pretty worried that youâd give him a negative response⌠and quite honestly, that youâd just ignore him and not talk to him at all, which he honestly thinks he deserves but still doesnât want to happen.
âI just⌠need to get my head focused and I kinda lost my cool,â he says quietly as he struggles with his words. Bakugo isnât good with verbal emotions but he really wanted to express himself to you without saying the wrong things.
âItâs fine. I apologize for bothering you, too. Sorry, Iâll let you focus now,â you muttered.
âIs that it?â
You didnât fail to notice the frustration in his face as he said that. He wasnât sure if itâs because youâre not even remotely forgiving to him and youâre just going to disregard his attempt at trying to talk to you⌠or if youâre not interested in talking at all. Either of those two things makes him extremely frustrated as his ego is telling him to just ignore it, but his heart is telling him to keep going.
He furrows his eyebrows and grits his teeth while holding back the urge to get snappy with you. He takes a deep breath and clenches his fists⌠thinking carefully on what to say next.
âNo⌠I donât⌠I canât justâŚâ he pauses and looks at you for a second before he grabs your wrist, ââŚDonât just say âitâs fineâ and brush it aside.â
He moves closer to you and looks you in the eyes. He is really trying hard to get you to say something more than just âitâs fineâ right now. He needs you to say something⌠anything. He doesnât like this kind of tension between you two, especially since he is the reason for it.
He tightens his grip on your wrist slightly before continuing to speak. This clearly shows how frustrated, worried, panicked, and guilty he is with the whole situation.
âPlease⌠talk to me. Donât act like youâre just okay with it because I know youâre not.â
You were looking down, trying to act fine when it really wasn't, âItâs fine, Katsuki. Really,â you said in a low voice so he wouldn't notice your voice shaking.
He scoffs with frustration at you. He hates how you keep just saying the same thing over and over, as if you canât even be honest with him. This whole situation is really testing his patience.
âNo, itâs not fine. You wonât even talk to me!â
He says while gritting his teeth and furrowing his brows. He is trying really hard to not lash out at you, but youâre really pushing his buttons right now.
You scoff and almost rolled your eyes as you heard him. You recalled what exactly he said yesterday when he snapped at you, you were just doing what he wanted and now heâs still gonna snap at you for doing that? Shouldnât he be happy?
âIâm just not meddling with your business.â
He lets go of your wrist as he leans back and runs his hand through his hair as he tries to rein in his frustration. He is honestly getting to the boiling point at this point because you are not saying what he wants to hear.
âYouâre not gonna mess with my business? Youâve always meddled in my business,â he says dryly. He canât even help but chuckle bitterly at how hypocritical that sounds as he feels the irony of the whole situation.
You didnât respond. This is what happened last night, too. You know for sure heâs gonna keep going and repeat all the things he already said. Like what always happens.
He scoffs silently to himself as he looks at you, âYouâve always been around me and now all of a sudden you donât want to meddle with my business?â
You were keeping your head on the ground, trying not to snap because you know it wonât help. And itâs his job, not yours.
âIsn't that what you wanted?â
He furrows his eyebrows as he gives you a perplexed look. He doesnât know what youâre trying to get at, which is even more infuriating for him.
âWhat do you mean what I wanted? I never said I wanted you to not meddle with me,â he says in a slightly annoyed tone as he looks at you with a sharp glare.
âYeah, thatâs not what you said last night,â you replied, getting tired of him acting like itâs not his fault why youâre acting this way.
He scoffs as he looks away, clenching his jaw. He didnât expect you to bring that up so casually. The memories of what he said last night came rushing into his mind and honestly⌠he is starting to regret it.
ââŚThatâs not what I meant⌠you know that.â
âIt is pretty much what you meant. Thereâs no way you didnât mean it one bit when you brought it up so many times.â
âCanât you just forget that I said those things?â
Hearing that, you scoff and roll your eyes. Forget it? Just forget everything he said? How can you just forget it when everytime he snaps at you, it was the same thing he says over and over? Thereâs no way he didnât mean it, right?
He can hardly reign himself in anymore. The frustration and agitation is getting the better of him. He is clenching his fists so hard now with a murderous glare in his eyes. He looks like heâs about to explode at any second from this whole situation.
âWhy are you acting like this? Are you really that petty because I said some shitty things?â
He raises his voice and steps even closer to you, his eyes fixed on your face. At this point, heâs already lost his cool.
He continues, his voice is getting louder and louder as he talks.
âI told you to stop meddling in my business, so what? All of a sudden youâre acting like I told you to piss off and not talk to me anymore?!â
You scoff for the nth time this day, âIâm just minding my own life. Like you told me to.â
His grip on your shoulders tightens as his fingernails dig into your skin, it starts to hurt. The tension in the air is so thick you can cut it with a knife. Heâs clenching his jaw so hard it looks like heâs about to gnaw all his teeth at this point from how strained he is because of all this.
âKatsuki.. youâre.. hurting me. Please, let go,â you said weakly, almost whispering. You closed your eyes shut as you felt his grip just tighten even more, you were already feeling his nails digging right on your skin, despite wearing a sleeve.
He just scoffs and lets out a dry, bitter laugh. He tightens his grip on your shoulders even more as he locks you in place. He continues to glare at you as he speaks with a cold and sharp tone.
âWhy? You deserve it. If youâre being difficult, you should expect me to be rough back at you,â he said as if he was out of his mind.
âYouâre so frustrated you donât care if you hurt me?â you asked as if you donât already know the answer, considering how he acts right now and whenever heâs tired and snapping at you.
âLet go, please. You were hurting me verbally.. through words.. just a day ago. And now you're.. doing it.. physically. You donât even care anymore?â you muttered in a weak tone. You were tired and you canât take anymore of this anymore.
He furrows his eyebrows and his grip on your shoulders tightens even more. He clearly doesnât like you bringing that up, but he keeps his cold glare on you as he continues to respond.
âYou still deserve it and shouldâve seen it coming for you acting like this. After all, I gave you a way out when I told you to forget about it, but you just kept acting so damn cold.â
Your eyes just widened at his response. Heâs.. not thinking clearly. I deserve him hurting me physically because I did what he wanted? Because I chose to stay out of his business like he told me to? Was it my fault?
You couldnât take it anymore. You keep your eyes shut, preparing yourself to ask the question you never thought will cross your mind.
âKatsuki, at this point.. shouldnât we just.. end this?â
He stops and freezes as he hears that word come from your mouth. He looks at you with his eyes wide as he feels a wave of shock go through his body.
âEnd this..?â
He says with a disbelieving tone. He can hardly believe the words that just came out of your mouth. With that, he lets go of your shoulder. You put a hand on it, considering how it hurts so much. He was gripping it like he intended to make you bleed.
As he lets go of your shoulders, he steps back, staring at you with a surprised and disbelieving look.
âWhat do you mean end this? Do youâŚâ
He stops, the words getting stuck in his throat. Itâs almost as if his mind canât even process it.
âDo you mean end our relationship?â
He says, his voice sounding strained. His eyes are locked on your face, searching for any answers to the hundreds of questions swirling in his head right now.
You didnât say anything, and your silence was his confirmation. He stops and stares at you. He canât believe what you just said. It feels like someone had just suddenly ripped his heart out from his chest.
âWhyâŚ. Why do you want to end this?â
He asks, his voice hoarse and weak. He feels like heâs about to collapse from the wave of disbelief and shock that just hit him.
He steps closer to you and grabs you by the shoulders, looking at you with a desperate look. He just canât understand what youâre thinking, and is desperately trying to cling onto anything that can salvage this whole situation.
âCan you just⌠can you explain whyâŚ?â
He says, his voice cracking from trying to hold back the emotions in his chest right now. You shut your eyes again. You chose to ignore the pain in his voice because you know how weak you are when it comes to him.
âI tell you whatâs wrong, that you hurt me. You mock me and try to make it my fault. This just keeps happening over and over again. You donât want to change, thatâs why itâs happening again and again. Itâs tiring,â you finally said, finally saying what you have been holding back out loud.
He falters as he hears you say that. His grip on you loosens as he stares at you, trying to process the words you just said.
âIâŚ. I hurt you? Why didnât you just tell me that?â
He canât help but look at you, his expression now looking like a mixture of guilt, regret, and disbelief in himself. All this time, he thought you were just fine and didnât know that he was hurting you with how he was acting.
You try not to roll your eyes as he asked that, âI did tell you! All you replied was that I deserve it!â
He stays silent at your reply. Thatâs right. You did tell him. He remembers now that you did, but he got so caught up in his anger that he brushed you off.
ââŚI didnât mean it like that,â he says quietly. He doesnât know how to make this better anymore, the regret of his actions now weighing heavily on his chest.
He steps even closer to you, his arms now reaching out to wrap around your waist, pulling you tight to his chest. He buries his head against your shoulder, his grip on you tight and desperate as he tries to hold back the flood of emotions in his chest right now.
âI⌠Iâm so sorry,â he finally said.
Itâs as if heâs at the verge of sobbing right now. He feels so guilty and remorseful for what heâs done to you, and now itâs all crashing down on him at the thought of losing you.
You didnât do anything as he hugs you, didnât hug him back. You just let him.
His voice is weak and shaky as he struggles to keep it together. His body is trembling from the mixture of emotions in his chest right now as he continues to hold you tight against him.
âPlease⌠please tell me I can fix thisâŚâ He whispers against your shoulder, his voice raw and strained as he clings onto you, desperate to hold on.
He keeps his head buried against your shoulder, his hands gripping the back of your shirt tightly. Itâs clear that he is trying his best to rein in his emotions right now, but he is on the verge of breaking down due to the guilt and regret that is crushing his chest right now.
âPleaseâŚ. Iâll do anything, just donât⌠donât end this,â he practically pleads with you, his voice cracking slightly from his struggle to keep it together.
That was your last straw. You sighed, knees starting to give up. You were weak. Weak when it comes to him. You canât handle it when he shows his emotions.. his vulnerable side. Youâre weak and so hopelessly in love with him.
You didnât say anything but wrap your arms around him, hugging him back and burying your face against his chest.
The moment you hug him back, he lets out a shaky exhale of relief. Itâs at this point that he lets go of the last of his self control, and just breaks down into your embrace.
His whole body trembles as he clings onto you tightly, his arms wrapping around you as he buries his head against your shoulder. His body feels like itâs collapsing at this point as all the emotions in his chest just come out.
His chest is heaving as he struggles to catch his breath, his body and mind overcome with an overwhelming tsunami of emotion.
âPlease... Iâm sorry... Iâm so s-sorry...â
He keeps repeating it apologetically as he hugs you even tighter, his hands clenching the back of your shirt. Itâs like heâs scared that if he lets go of you, youâll just disappear and leave him forever.
âI promise... Iâll change. Iâll do anything to be b-better for you... Please, j-just.. donât... leave me....â
It was your first time hearing him talk like that, admitting that it was his fault, and that he will change. For you. It was the first time you see him act like this. He was scared to lose you. So scared. And you donât want to leave him either. Despite all the things that happened and what he did, you canât help but want to be the one who stays beside him, protect him, take care of him, and love him.
âIâm.. holding you onto that,â you muttered in a soft, weak voice.
He nods vigorously against your shoulder, his arms around you hugging you even tighter. Thereâs a slight sense of relief in his body now after hearing that youâre not leaving.
âI will... I promise,â he says, his voice shaky and vulnerable as he holds you like heâs holding onto dear life right now. He has no plans of letting you go any time soon.
He takes a deep breath as he continues to hold you tightly in his arms. His body is still trembling slightly as he clings onto you, the whole emotional outburst leaving him feeling weak and vulnerable. He continues to bury his head against your shoulder, not wanting to let go just yet and wanting to stay like this with you for as long as possible.
-Hii! I'm Khloe-
I write mainly for Katsuki, but I could write for others too!
Please send requests!
this is the best dad katsuki thing ive ever read
This one is rlly longđ
âââ
The hospital reeked of antiseptic and tension. The fluorescent lights flickered overhead as Bakugo Katsuki paced the floor like a caged animal. His handsâusually steady in battleâtrembled slightly. Outside the delivery room, his world was unraveling.
"Mr. Bakugo," the nurse called gently. "Sheâs in distress. Weâre doing everything we can."
He didnât answer. His crimson eyes were locked on the swinging double doors that had swallowed you hours ago.
Youâhis wife, his partner, the only person who could call him a dumbass and still get a smile out of himâwere behind those doors. And you were fighting a battle even he couldn't charge into fists-first.
Twelve Hours Earlier
Your water had broken in the dead of night. Youâd barely gotten a full sentence out before Bakugo was already tossing clothes into a bag and barking at the cab company over the phone. By the time you reached the hospital, contractions were tearing through you like lightning, each one worse than the last.
Something wasnât right.
The baby was breach. Your blood pressure spiked. You were losing too much blood. They rushed you into an emergency delivery, voices sharp and fast. Bakugo hadnât been allowed in.
Present
Time blurred. Katsuki hated feeling useless more than anything. He should be in there. He should be beside you, holding your hand, telling you it was going to be okay even if his chest felt like it was going to explode.
A sudden scream tore through the hall. Your scream.
His knees buckled. He hadnât even heard himself move before he was slamming into the door, fists glowing faintly, ready to break it downâ
"Sir!" a nurse barked, shoving him back. "You can't go in there!"
"Thatâs my damn wife!" he snarled. "Let meâ"
The screaming stopped.
Too abruptly.
Bakugo froze. The world stopped moving.
Seconds felt like eternities until finally, the doors opened and a doctor stepped out, blood on her scrubs and exhaustion in her eyes.
"Sheâs alive," she said softly. "And so is your son. But it was close. Too close."
His legs gave out and he collapsed into the nearest chair. His hands covered his face as air finally returned to his lungs. Alive. You were both alive.
"You can see her now."
He stood shakily, pushing into the room. You looked like hellâpale, exhausted, barely able to lift your eyelidsâbut when you saw him, a weak smile curved your lips.
"You look like shit," you whispered.
A choked laugh escaped him. He grabbed your hand and pressed it to his lips. âDonât ever scare me like that again, dumbass.â
Then he saw the tiny bundle in your arms. Wide red eyesâhis eyesâblinked up at him.
"Hey, little guy," he said, voice thick. "Youâre already causing trouble, huh?"
You laughed faintly, and Bakugo leaned in, touching his forehead to yours.
"Next time," he murmured, "we're adopting."
---
Two Weeks Later
You were finally home.
The scent of sterilized hospital air had been replaced by the warmth of your shared apartment, still littered with unopened baby gifts and half-assembled furniture. It felt surreal, like you had died and somehow gotten a second chance.
Katsuki hadnât left your side since the hospital.
Heâd been quieter than usualânot cold, but... different. Protective. Watchful. The explosions were fewer, the yelling almost nonexistent. And at night, when he thought you were asleep, you caught him just staringâat you, at the baby, at the scar the IV left on your hand.
Like he couldnât believe either of you were still here.
You shifted slightly on the couch, wincing. Your body still ached like hell. The stitches, the swelling, the pressureâno one talked about how brutal recovery would be. You felt raw. Fragile.
"Katsuki," you called weakly.
He appeared instantly from the kitchen, a bottle in one hand and your pain meds in the other. "Need something?"
"Come sit with me."
He hesitated. "Youâre still hurting. I donât wanna crowd you."
You reached out, fingers curling in the air.
He sighed, set everything down, and slid onto the couch beside you. Carefully. Gently. You leaned your head on his shoulder, your newborn cradled against your chest, tiny breaths warm against your skin.
"He looks like you," you murmured.
"Poor brat," he said, but his voice was soft.
Your fingers laced with his.
"Youâve been quiet."
He didnât answer for a long time. Then:
"You almost died." His voice cracked. âAnd I couldnât do shit about it.â
You turned to look at him, eyes brimming. "But I didnât. We didnât. Katsuki, you didnât leave me. Not for a second. That means everything."
He clenched his jaw. âIâve fought villains who tried to kill me. Iâve been stabbed, exploded, buried under rubble. I can deal with that. But you, bleeding out and screaming and I couldnât even touch youââ He broke off. âIâve never been that fucking scared in my life.â
Tears slipped down your cheek, and you pressed your lips to his temple. âYouâre here. Iâm here. Our sonâs here. Thatâs all that matters.â
He looked down at the sleeping baby, chest rising and falling in sync with yours. âHeâs tiny.â
You smirked. âSo were you. Until puberty hit like a damn truck.â
A reluctant chuckle rumbled from him. âIf he has even half your stubbornness, weâre screwed.â
âHalf yours, you mean,â you teased.
The room went quiet again. You nestled closer, letting yourself breathe in his warmth, his scent. Safe.
âI thought I was ready to be a dad,â he said suddenly. âI trained for it. Got the nursery set up, read every damn book. But the second they handed him to me, I realized I didnât know shit.â
You smiled sleepily. âYouâre already doing perfect.â
âYouâre just saying that âcause I havenât blown up a diaper yet.â
You both laughedâquiet, tired, and a little broken, but real.
He looked at you, really looked, eyes softer than youâd ever seen them.
âI love you,â he whispered.
You blinked. Bakugo never whispered.
âI love you too,â you whispered back, voice catching.
And for the first time in weeks, you both finally exhaled.
---
Three Months Later
âYou sure youâre okay without me for a few hours?â you asked again, already halfway out the door.
Bakugo rolled his eyes, baby monitor clipped to his sweatpants, your son strapped into a carrier on his chest like a slightly confused koala.
âDâyou think I canât handle him or something?â he grumbled.
âI think he shat through three outfits before noon yesterday, and you nearly declared war on baby wipes.â
Katsuki scowled. âOne time.â
âOne time per diaper.â
You kissed his cheek before he could argue, smirking. âYouâll be fine, Dad of the Year.â
The door clicked shut behind you.
And just like that⌠it was quiet.
Bakugo glanced down at the wide-eyed little boy strapped to his chest. âAlright, kid. Just me and you.â
The baby blinked, then made a soft gurgling noise.
âYou better not be loading your diaper already.â
**
The first twenty minutes went smooth. Katsuki heated a bottle with military precision, burped the baby like a pro, and even played peekaboo without blowing anything up.
Then the baby started crying.
Loud.
Katsuki checked the diaper. Clean. Tried feeding him. Refused. Burping? Nothing. Pacifier? Launched like a missile.
âAre you broken?â he hissed, bouncing him awkwardly.
The baby wailed louder.
Bakugo, future Number One Hero, demolisher of villains, destroyer of fear itself⌠was being absolutely obliterated by a 12-pound infant.
âAlright!â he shouted over the crying. âYou win, gremlin!â
He tried the ultimate move: laying on the couch with the baby on his chest, just like you did.
It worked. Instant silence.
ââŚSeriously?â
Tiny fingers gripped the collar of his shirt, and the baby let out a satisfied sigh, snuggling deeper against him.
âTch. You just wanted to lay on me, huh?â Katsuki mumbled. âClingy little nerd.â
He didnât move. Not even when his phone buzzed. Youâd texted: Everything okay?
He snapped a photo of his son sleeping peacefully on his chest and sent it back.
Weâre good. Donât rush.
He stared at the photo for a long time, warmth blooming in his chest. The kid looked so much like you when he was relaxed. And Katsuki realized something he hadnât said out loud yet.
He loved this.
Being a dad.
The mess, the noise, the confusionâit was all chaos he could handle if it meant protecting you and this little bean.
âYouâre not that bad, yâknow,â he muttered. âMight even grow up to be cooler than me.â
The baby snorted in his sleep.
âYeah, alright, donât push it.â
**
When you walked in an hour later, you found them both fast asleepâKatsuki snoring, the baby drooling on his chest, one tiny fist tangled in his dadâs ash-blond hair.
You smiled and quietly snapped a photo.
The caption would read: My boys. Chaos level: manageable.
For now.
---
Ten Months Later
Your son had started babbling a while ago, but it was mostly incoherent nonsenseâ"ba-ba," "da-da," the occasional squeal that sounded like a baby pterodactyl mid-meltdown.
Katsuki had been watching him like a hawk, waiting for the first real word. It had practically become a competition between you twoâwho would he say first? "Mama" or "Dada"?
Katsuki refused to lose.
âYou know I carried him for nine months, right?â you said, folding laundry one afternoon.
âYeah, and I carried your ass through every post-labor breakdown, so Iâd say weâre even,â he grunted, ruffling your sonâs spiky blond hair as he sat chewing on a toy grenade (definitely plastic).
Your son looked up at him with wide, mischievous eyes and suddenly let out a loud, clearâ
âBoom.â
Silence.
You blinked. âDid he justâ?â
Katsukiâs eyes widened. âNo. No way. Say it again, brat.â
The baby giggled. âBoom!â
âOh my god.â
Katsuki stood there frozen for a moment, and then his mouth curled into the smuggest grin youâd ever seen.
âThatâs my boy.â
You threw a sock at his face. âKatsuki, his first word was âboom.ââ
âIâm proud as hell.â
âHeâs not a grenade!â
âHeâs mine, so yes, he is.â
Your son squealed again. âBoom!â
Now he was bouncing.
âStop encouraging him!â you said, even though you were trying not to laugh.
Bakugo squatted beside him and bumped their foreheads together gently. âBoom, huh? Youâre gonna be a damn legend.â
You shook your head in disbelief, watching your two pyro-twins grin at each other like chaos incarnate.
Katsuki looked up at you, full of fire and affection. âGuess we know what kind of quirk heâs leaninâ toward.â
You groaned. âWe are so not baby-proofed for explosions.â
Katsuki smirked. âGuess I better teach him control before he blows up the crib.â
Your baby babbled happily between them again. âBoom!â
Yeah. You were definitely raising a little dynamite.
And honestly? You wouldnât have it any other way.
---
Age: 2 Years, 3 Months
Your sonâs first day of daycare was supposed to be normal.
Youâd packed his snacks, extra clothes, diapers, wipes, and left strict instructions that he was âsweet, a little stubborn, and very attached to his Bakugou-brand plushie.â
You also wrote in bold: âIf he gets upset, avoid loud noises. They tend to... backfire.â
The teacher smiled politely. âWeâve handled all kinds of quirks. Donât worry.â
You didnât.
Until the phone call.
Three hours later.
Bakugo answered it on speaker.
âHello, this isâuhâMiss Hikari from Little Hero Steps Daycare. We have a small situation.â
Katsukiâs eyes narrowed. âIs he hurt?â
âNo! No, heâs fine. Perfectly fine. A little excited, actuallyâŚâ
Your stomach dropped.
ââŚbut the plastic slide may have, um... detonated.â
Katsuki let out a low snort. âHe blew up the slide?â
âIt was only the top half,â she added quickly. âAnd technically, it was more of a pop than a boom.â
You could feel Katsukiâs pride from across the kitchen.
âAre the other kids okay?â you asked, horrified.
âYes! No injuries. He wasnât upset, just⌠showing off. He said âBoom!â and thenââ
âThatâs my son,â Bakugo said, folding his arms with a smug little smirk.
You elbowed him. âThat is not a good thing.â
âDidnât say it was bad either.â
**
When you arrived at the daycare, your son was sitting on a beanbag with three teachers around himâlike he was some kind of dangerous celebrity.
His hair was wild, his cheeks were smudged with soot, and he looked way too pleased with himself.
âMommy! Daddy!â he yelled, running over and nearly tripping on his own feet.
âHey, you little menace,â Katsuki muttered, picking him up.
âBoom!â he chirped proudly, like it was his name.
One of the teachers came over, cautiously.
âWe think his quirk is starting to develop. Itâs... early, but very similar to yours, Mr. Bakugo.â
Katsuki beamed. âDamn right it is.â
You groaned. âPlease tell me weâre not banned.â
The teacher laughed nervously. âNoâthough weâre investing in more fireproof playground equipment starting immediately.â
**
That night, after your son was passed out in his crib, soot still faintly dusting his forehead, you collapsed on the couch.
âHeâs gonna be a handful,â you murmured, resting your head on Katsukiâs chest.
âYeah,â he muttered, stroking your hair. âHeâs gonna be a hell of a hero too.â
You smiled, eyes drifting closed as you listened to your husbandâs heartbeat under your cheekâsteady, strong, and forever explosive.
Just like the little boy down the hall.
---
You were pregnant. Again.
You hadnât meant for it to happen quite so soonânot when your firstborn was still blowing up laundry baskets for fun and calling it âtraining.â
But the second those two pink lines appeared, your stomach flipped. Part nerves. Part excitement. And a lot of âoh god, how is Bakugo going to react?â
**
You told him on a quiet evening. Your son was asleep (finally) and the living room still smelled faintly of scorched Play-Doh.
You sat beside him, heart racing.
âIâm pregnant.â
Bakugo blinked. He looked at you. Then at your stomach. Then back at you.
ââŚAre you sure?â
You nodded, biting your lip.
He leaned forward slowly, resting a hand on your thigh like he thought the couch might explode.
âHoly shit.â
You laughed. âThatâs⌠not the response I expected.â
He stared at your stomach for a long time before finally saying, softly, âYou okay with this?â
âIâm scared. But yeah. I want this.â
He nodded, jaw tightening. âYou nearly died last time.â
âI know.â
âYou think I can do this again?â His voice cracked, barely above a whisper. âWhat if I lose you this time?â
You reached for his hand. âThen you hold me tighter and fight harder.â
Bakugo clenched his fists, then gently rested one palm on your belly.
ââŚYou better be a chill baby,â he muttered. âI canât handle two demolition experts at once.â
**
Your son found out a week later when he walked into the kitchen, pointed to your tiny bump, and said:
âBOOM 2?â
You choked on your orange juice. Katsuki burst out laughing.
From that point on, the baby was Boom 2 to him.
**
As the months passed, your second pregnancy felt... different. Easier in some ways, harder in others. Your son was older now, talking more, asking endless questions.
âDid I live in your belly too?â
âYou did, baby.â
âWas I loud?â
âYou screamed the whole time.â
He nodded proudly. âBoom!â
Katsuki didnât stop worrying. Not for a second. Every time you winced, he was at your side. Every time you had a check-up, he came. He argued with nurses over your chart. Practically threatened the OB into promising you a safer delivery plan.
âI lost my shit once,â he told the doctor. âIâm not doing that again.â
**
One quiet night, a few weeks before your due date, he crawled into bed behind you and wrapped his arms around your belly, pulling you gently against his chest.
âStill scared,â he whispered against your skin.
âI know,â you whispered back.
âBut I want this. I want all of this. You, himââhe nodded toward your sleeping toddler down the hallââand this tiny bomb too.â
Your heart melted.
âI want them to know theyâre loved,â he added, voice thick. âNo matter how loud, or messy, or crazy it gets.â
âTheyâll know,â you promised, turning to kiss him softly. âBecause they have you.â
Katsuki didnât answer. He just held you tighter, his hand on your belly.
And somewhere inside, Boom 2 kicked like they were already ready to make an entrance.
Just like their brother.
Just like their dad.
---
It started with a kick.
Not just any kickâone that rocked your whole body at 3:12 a.m.
You groaned, gripping the edge of the bed.
Katsuki shot up like a soldier under fire.
âContraction?â he barked.
âYep,â you hissed, breathing through it.
He was already movingâbag in hand, grabbing your shoes, shouting toward the baby monitor: âStay asleep, Boom #1!â
**
This time around, the doctors were ready. And so was Katsuki.
Still, even as they guided you into the labor room, he was white-knuckling the edge of your bed, eyes locked on you like if he blinked, youâd vanish.
You reached for him.
âIâm okay,â you said between waves of pain. âIâm okay.â
âIâm not letting go of you this time,â he muttered, voice low, jaw clenched.
And he didnât.
Not when your screams broke through the walls.
Not when the monitors started beeping faster.
Not when the doctor said, âWe need to move quicklyâcordâs wrapped.â
He held your hand through it all. Pressed his forehead to yours. Whispered every curse word in the book, followed by: âYouâve got this. Youâre stronger than anyone Iâve ever met.â
And when the final cry rang outâ
A high, sharp wail that cut through the air like lightningâ
Bakugo exhaled like heâd been holding his breath for nine months straight.
âSheâs perfect,â the nurse whispered.
âShe?â you breathed, dazed.
Katsuki blinked. âA girl?â
They placed her on your chestâtiny, red, angry as hell. She immediately latched onto your hospital gown like she was ready to fight the world.
You laughed through tears. âSheâs already like you.â
Katsuki stared at her.
Just stared.
His eyesâthose wild, stormy eyesâwere wide and full of wonder.
âYouâre kidding me,â he whispered. âIâve got a daughter.â
You reached for his hand. âYouâve got us.â
He leaned down, pressing a soft kiss to your forehead, then to your daughterâs.
âI swear on my damn life,â he whispered, âno oneâs ever gonna mess with you.â
She let out a fierce little squeak.
And he smiled, completely undone.
**
An hour later, you were resting, and he was sitting by the bed with your baby girl tucked into the crook of his arm.
âName?â you asked, eyes heavy but heart full.
He looked down at her, then at you.
âWhat about Kaori?â he said. âStrong. Bright. Means fragrance or light.â
You smiled. âKaori Bakugo. Itâs perfect.â
And for the first time that night, the hospital room felt still. Safe.
Because no matter how explosive your little family was becomingâ
It was built on something unshakable.
Love. Fire. And a whole lot of Boom.
---
Two days after Kaoriâs birth, you came homeâsore, exhausted, but glowing. Kaori was tiny, sleepy, and wrapped like a burrito in her fuzzy explosion-patterned blanket that Katsuki insisted she wear home.
Your front door creaked open slowly.
Bakugo carried Kaori in with terrifying precision, like she was made of nitroglycerin.
Inside, your two-year-old son was standing barefoot in the hallwayâholding a plastic grenade in one hand and a drawing in the other.
âMommy!â he shouted, running at you.
You caught him one-armed, lifting him up, groaning slightly. âEasy, baby.â
Katsuki stood back, rocking gently with Kaori in his arms. âHey, Boom #1,â he said softly. âWanna meet your sister?â
Your son blinked, looking at the tiny pink bundle.
âThatâs her?â
âYup.â
âShe looks squishy.â
âShe is,â you said, chuckling. âGentle, okay?â
He padded over on tiptoes, peering up at her like she was some sort of sacred relic.
ââŚShe doesnât go boom?â
âLetâs hope not,â Katsuki muttered.
âSheâs your baby sister,â you explained. âHer name is Kaori.â
He tilted his head. âCan I keep her?â
Katsuki smirked. âSheâs not a pet.â
âBut I love her already,â your son said proudly. Then leaned close and whispered (as if it were a spell): âBoom.â
Kaori stirred slightly⌠and farted.
A loud one.
Your son lost it.
âSHE DOES BOOM TOO!â he screamed.
Katsuki nearly dropped her from laughing so hard. âOh god. Sheâs already like you.â
**
You all settled in the living room. Kaori slept peacefully on Katsukiâs chest while your son built a pillow fort and declared it the "Boom Base."
âShe can live in the base with me,â he announced.
âSheâs not old enough for base life yet,â you said.
âIâll protect her,â he added matter-of-factly. âFrom monsters. And spiders. And broccoli.â
You looked over at Katsuki, who was watching the two of them with a look youâd only ever seen twice before: once on your wedding day, and once when your son took his first steps.
âDidnât think I could love more than I already did,â he murmured. âBut damn.â
You scooted closer and leaned into him, Kaori safe between you.
âLooks like weâre officially a team of four.â
âCorrection,â Katsuki said. âWeâre a squad.â
A very loud, occasionally explosive, wildly chaotic squad.
And honestly? You wouldnât trade it for the world.
hihihi!
idk if ur requests are open but i got an idea :)
bakugou/reader where they are in a secret relationship and the bakusquad sees them cuddling or whatever when they think nobody's around. maybe make them act like they hate each other infront of others hehe.
thanks in advance :D
oh yes yes iâve already done two secret relationship posts u can find them on my masterlist :)) but i like this idea a lot so new one! lol
âhey kats.â you smile, seeing your boyfriend walk into the common room.
âshhhhhh.â he groans, agitated.
âhey?-â you frown.
âyeah yeah i love you, whatever. have a fucking headache.â he grumbles, crawling over you on the couch to lay his head on your chest, nuzzling into your soft shirt.
you smile, raking your fingers through his hair in attempt to soothe his headache.
âhow come?â you say softly.
he stays quiet, unable to pinpoint what exactly caused this nuisance.
â..denki.â he says plainly with a deep frown on his face.
you laugh, pressing a kiss to his forehead.
âyou canât just blame denki for all your inconveniences.â you say giggling.
he looks up at you with a pout and you peck his lips.
âyeah i can. heâs stupid.â he replies grumbling.
you squish his face in your hands and he sighs, eyes closing.
âthat feels nice.â he mumbles, words distorted from his squashed lips.
âwhat?â you laugh, moving to release his face.
âhey. i said it feels nice. stay.â he grumbles, eyes closed.
you place your hands back on his face and he sighs, the pressure releasing the tension on his temples.
you place kisses all over his face, his squished cheeks, his pouted lips, his pretty lashes.
âcan i just get you an advil? we can nap in my dorm?â you offer with a grin.
his eyes open slowly, annoyed with the harsh lights of the common room.
âare you gonna play with my hair?â
****************************************************
âi knew it!!â mina whisper shouts.
she feels a pinch to her arm.
âyou didnât know anything!â sero whisper shouts back.
âokay fine whatever, i didnât. but this is INSANE.â mina yelps, eyes wide as saucers.
âi canât believe he blamed me for his headache!â denki pouts.
kirishima rolls his eyes at his friend.
âwhy are you so quiet?â mina frowns, jabbing her finger in kirishimas chest.
kirishima freezes, attempting to stay cool.
âi just⌠wanna respect their privacy.â he defends.
mina grabs hold of sero and denkis shirts, tugging them close to her.
âhe KNEW!!â she says, filled with anger.
she jumps up and down while shaking sero and denki furiously.
âdude! are you serious?!â denki asks.
kirishima crosses his arms over his chest.
âwell⌠bakugou mightâve said a little something.â he smiles sheepishly.
âUGH. i hate you so much right now!â
the pair continues to argue as you and katsuki obliviously move around in the kitchen.
âtheyâre going to hear you, dipshits.â sero states plainly, already bored of this newfound information.
mina pouts, crossing her arms over her chest and kirishima goes silent.
âi want to get a closer look, see how fast they switch up when someoneâs close.â denki smiles devilishly.
the three watch him go, wait till heâs out of earshot and then start dying of laughter.
âhe is not smooth enough to pull that off.â sero grins.
âheâs going to get his ass kicked.â
****************************************************
katsuki watches boredly while you rustle through the medicine cabinet.
he groans, resting his forehead on the cool tile of the kitchen island.
âi know.. âm sorry kats. i canât find the advil.â you frown, moving denkis flintstone gummy vitamins.
âi donât need it, just need to sleep. come on.â he sighs, fisting at your shirt.
âhey guys! whatâs going on here?â denki cheers as katsuki tears his hand off of you.
âhey denki.â you murmur, continuing to move throughout the shelf.
âdo you know where the advil is?â you sigh, turning to denki.
denki frowns, upset at the lack of drama in this room.
âno idea⌠why do you need it?â he questions.
âbak- i⌠have a headache..â you murmur slowly, catching your almost mistake.
denkis brows pull together, glancing at bakugou still hunched over with his forehead on the counter.
âwhatâs wrong with you then?â denki asks with a smirk.
âshut the fuck up before i knock your lights out.â katsuki seethes, remaining in his weakened position.
you giggle as denkis eyes widen.
âwow kami, he means business.â you say grinning.
kaminariâs ears turn bright red from embarrassment, frustration bubbling up in his veins.
âoh shit denki⌠donât say it.â mina mutters and kiri and sero understand exactly what she means.
the three of them watch as kamiâs hands ball into fists and his brows pull together.
âtemper tantrum.â sero sighs.
âyeah?! well i know you two are going at it!â denki screams at bakugou.
âkats-â
katsuki lunges forward, gripping denki by the front of his shirt.
âwell shit. come on.â kiri says quickly, hitting sero.
you watch as katsukiâs arms are restrained by kirishima and sero wraps his arms around denkis middle, the two pulling them apart.
âweâre sorry!â kirishima groans from behind your boyfriend.
âitâs fine.â you mutter, knowing katsukiâs only mad because of his headache.
âitâs not fine! get off of me shit stain!â katsuki screams.
kirishima looks to you for reassurance. you nod, and kirishima releases him.
katsuki lunges forward once again and you grab him by the ear.
âah ah ah.â katsuki halts while groaning in pain.
you sigh, giving straight mouthed looks to your friends.
âupstairs.â you say forcefully to katsuki, pinching his ear hard then releasing.
he groans, giving a look to denki before turning on his heel and stomping up the stairs.
âweâre sorry-â
â-we didnât mean to-â
you hold your hands up in front of their faces, effectively silencing them.
ânight.â you mutter, trudging up the stairs behind your boyfriend.
****************************************************
as soon as you are out of earshot the four of them erupt.
âDID YOU SEE HOW HE LISTENED TO HER?!â
âHES DOWN BADDDD!!â
****************************************************
âfucking denki.â katsuki groans.
âyeah yeah just get in bed you big baby.â you giggle softly and katsuki glares at you.
he climbs in bed, reaching his hand out to pull you in by your shirt.
âim coming relax.â you laugh.
he frowns deeply, folding his arms over his chest.
you smile, climbing into bed beside him.
staring into his eyes, you search for answers in his tired gaze.
âhowâs your head?â you whisper, leaning forward and brushing his bangs back to reveal his cute forehead.
he frowns and lets a groan slip from his lips.
âthey just had to pick today to find out, huh?â he mumbles, grabbing your hand.
you giggle softly, leaning your head against his shoulder.
âright, cause any other day youâd be soooo understanding?â you smirk up at him.
he scoffs, pushing your face away with his big hand.
âjust wanted you all to myselfâŚâ he says under his breath, as if he didnât even want you to hear him.
you feel your heart melt, shifting close to his face.
his breath hitches subtly as you turn your face to press open mouth kisses down his jaw.
he reaches for your thigh, pulling your leg over his hips.
you continue to kiss at his neck and jaw, placing a kiss to his adamsâ apple as it bobs in his throat.
âyou have me, okay?â you murmur against his skin.
he nods, arms wrapping around you in a bear hug.
âright.â you giggle.
âforgot its past your bedtime.â
