Hisaki's Got No Dad

AO3 LINK: https://archiveofourown.org/works/56051365/chapters/142362220

SUMMARY:

When Hisaki was four, he watched Bakugou Katsuki's face grow white as a villain pulverized Midoriya Izuku into nothingness on live TV.

Ten years later, Katsuki tells him they're leaving America and moving to Japan. There are no ifs or buts--he is the parent, and Hisaki is the child.

To which, Hisaki takes offense at; at one point in these ten years did Hisaki actually have a parent?

Original Character(s)

Bakugou Katsuki is VERY Bad at Feelings, but look, it's been a long 10 years

Multimedia

AUTHOR NOTES:

A semi-personal long fic that exploring a fractured, dysfunctional father-and-son dynamic submerged in grief. Some (but not all) other things to expect: generational trauma, cultural differences, timezones, Kacchan being a the kind of dad that puts his thumb on the phone camera, multiple comparisons to Endeavour, Uraraka and Todoroki doting on Hisaki, and overall former Class 1-A mutually supporting each other as adults because in an ideal world, I think that's how it should be.

Things are guaranteed to get better but not without significant effort from all parties.

Also, this is the main fic for the "Hisaki's Got No Dad" AU. Will update sporadically, with some updates containing multimedia. I will also continue adding prequel oneshots to this universe, but they're not necessary to understand this fic.

-

Also, Hisaki's friends look like this. I think I've posted this somewhere on the internet before, maybe IG, but I can't find it and it's not like I can readily hotlink from there, so here it is on the writing blog!

I feel terrible for tearing Hisaki away from his BFFs but also, like, the angst... THE ANGST,,,

» Hiraeth Chapter 13 || Haikyuu AU

❝They will learn how to fly.❞ – an AU where the kids of Haikyuu characters grow their passion for volleyball and face their problems.

Starring our OC’s Hoshi, Minami, and Leo! (don’t worry they’re as fluffy as our babies from Haikyuu but sprinkle in more angst)

Read Chapter 12 Here!

The Match That Lost Its Flame

Jogging onto the court, Leo could feel a shift in the atmosphere. 

A new anticipation grew in his chest and sparks of excitement lit up in his heart. This feeling settled deep into his bones, taking his newfound determination to another level. 

Leo shifted his glasses and glanced up towards his family, all of whom were  already out of their seats preparing to cheer for Leo. 

“Yeah, Leo! You got this!” Minami yelled, her hands in the air, “we only take victories in this family!” 

Minami’s comment lit a match inside of Leo. The dark thoughts that plagued his head seemed to dissipate and flee from the light that shone down upon his body. 

Walking towards the net, it towered overhead, creating another wall that he had yet to knock down. 

“Hey Leo,” Dino said from beside him, “you ready?”  

Leo nodded, his eyes alight in flames, “let’s go win this.” 

The whistle blew, signaling the continuation of the game. Four points. Four points was all they needed to win this set and break through into Interhigh. 

Ayama served the ball over the net as Leo watched it soar gracefully over towards the enemies. Their captain easily picked the ball up, bumping it towards their setter. Leaving his fingertips, the setter pushed the ball overhead towards their wing spiker. 

Dino’s and Leo’s arms were in the air, holding their breaths, waiting for the right time to jump. “Now!” 

Leo’s legs pushed against the ground, his body aligned with Dino’s, their arms raised high above their heads. The ball slammed into Dino’s fingertips causing him to yell, “one touch!” 

Ryu sprang into action running for the ball, his arms outstretched. It was his turn now, Leo knew. His fingers were already above his head, itching to touch the ball. When the ball landed his fingertips, his heart bloomed at the feeling— a feeling he would never forget. His arms pushed, the ball climbed a high arc towards Hikaru. He excitedly jumped, a smirk clear on his face as his hand crashed into the ball. His grin turned into a blinding smile as the ball landed with a thud against the court. 

Leo noticed that his hands were shaking, and Hikaru turned to look at him, “that felt… amazing!” 

Leo laughed, suddenly feeling bashful. The countless hours spent practicing with Kageyama and Okiawa were paying off, he could feel success right at the end waiting for him. 

But, the feeling of a storm still inched dangerously close to the edge of his mind, ever so slightly growing stronger. 

Leo called for the team to huddle in quickly, “if we pick up the ball after their attack, I’m going to initiate a synchronized attack.” 

The team nodded, resuming their positions. Taking a deep breath, Leo appreciated the confidence he had, the self-awareness, and the courage to ignore his fears. Ayama once again served the ball over, Tokonami High began their attack. Their ace rose into the air, spiking the ball down into their side of the court. Kise dove for the ball allowing it to fly once again through the air. 

With his hands up in the air, Leo glanced around the team and nodded. It felt like time slowed down as the ball slowly fell onto his fingers. Ryu and Ayama swung their arms into the air, both running towards the net in preparation for a spike. With Dino and Hikaru still in the air, Leo quickly set towards Dino right into the palm of Dino’s hand. Dino slammed the ball down, and eyed the wall in front of him that was crumbling. Leo observed the way Dino seemed to soar, and a pit of giddiness opened up within Leo, making him realize that he helped Dino achieve a point. 

They were two points ahead, only needing three more to win this set. 

Leo’s knees bent, an idea formulated in his head as the ball soared over the net. Noting the way Tokonami prepared their attack, he waited patiently. Kise flawlessly bumped the ball over towards Leo. Leo’s body was already facing Dino and Hikaru, and his eyes met theirs. The two got ready to jump, nodding their heads. 

Smiling, Leo felt the ball land in his hand, as he pushed the ball back over the net in one flick of his wrist. He gleefully watched them dive for the ball, only to miss by a finger, he could feel the power surging through his blood as he looked down on them. 

Two more points, just two more. 

The cheering from the crowd grew louder, showing how they knew that the set was going to be over soon. The ball flew over the net from Karasuno’s side as they anxiously awaited Tokonami's attack. The enemy ace swiftly jumped up behind the net, his arms raised, smacking the ball over the net. 

“Ryu!” Kise yelled, his voice full of fear. Ryu dove for the ball, only for it to bounce off his arms and awkwardly fall onto the floor. 

The whistle blew, signalling the end of Leo’s time on the court. 

“My bad,” Ryu said, his eyes cast down on the floor.

“We only need two more points, don’t mind,” Leo said, plastering a smile on his face. He slowly walked off the court, all feelings of adrenaline leaving once his hands found Hisaki’s. Hisaki said nothing as he jogged towards the court.

Grimacing, Leo walked back towards the white box, where Katsuki, Kousei and Rin were waiting. “You did great Leo!” Katsuki said, bouncing up and down. 

“We just need two more!” Rin excitedly said as everyone eagerly watched the set unfold. 

Time once again seemed to freeze, but this time from anxiety. Seconds pushed into minutes and the lead that Leo had managed to get them disappeared. 

“What happened?” Katsuki whispered, his energy lost. 

Leo grit his teeth and clenched his hands as he begged someone, anyone to let them win. 

The storm that lingered at the edge of his mind, took over. Thunder and lightning flashed through his mind causing him to spiral down into oblivion. Their families screamed even louder, their support deafening. His body wanted to curl up in a corner, you’re gonna lose, it seemed to say. 

24-24. 

“How?” Leo defeatedly sighed. 

“It's okay, we just need a 2 point lead,” Rin said, patting his shoulder. 

Studying the team, they looked tired and dejected, but they never stopped fighting. Leo’s eyes locked onto the ball as he watched it fly over the net. The storm inside his head thundered harder, and the boom rang through his head as lightning flashed. The lights of the gym were blinding, the screams deafening. His mind tumbled, wondering what would have happened if Ryu actually managed to pick up the ball. 

His anger and jealousy outpaced his rationality, his mind darkened. 

Time slowed down one last time as Karasuno watched in defeat the ball land on their side of the court. No one spoke. The shrill of the whistle blew and the sounds of celebration erupted from Tokonami High. The stands for Karasuno were quiet except for the few sighs and the “maybe next times.” 

Leo couldn’t bear to lift his eyes from the ground to look at his family, to see their disappointment on their faces. He didn’t even want to leave the court in despair of seeing his family and hearing their pity filled words. They lined up against the back of the court, yelling a loud “thank you” for the game, bowing in front of their banner, the words Fly became limp.

Leo refused to raise his head, and his steps felt heavier. 

His mind blamed himself for not being a better setter, but he also blamed his teammates which he couldn’t help but feel guilty for. 

“Let’s get going guys, there’s next time that we can win. You guys need to rest now,” Coach Ukai said, clipboard in hand. 

The storm really was a premonition, a foreshadowing for the loss they would face. 

Crossing through the door, it felt like a slap from reality, the adrenaline from the game rushing out. He felt devoid of anything. Following his silent team, they walked past large crowds to hear their scornful words. “Karasuno?” “Look at them, losing.” “Too bad, they used to be so good.” “I heard they beat Shiratorizawa a few years ago.” “That’s not gonna happen again.” Leo’s teeth clenched, and he clutched his arms tighter around himself, forcing his legs to trudge on. 

Finally finding a hallway to hole up in, the team collapsed onto the floor. No one spoke, their breaths were bated, trying to come to peace with what had happened. 

“Um….” Yoshe said as she handed out water, “it was a really good game guys!” 

No one acknowledged her. 

“Thanks Yoshe...” Hikaru replied, with no emotion as he and Kise leaned against each other. A scowl on Dino’s face, and a frown on Katsuki’s. Dino leaned against the wall, his head in his knees. It hurt, the pain of losing felt like a stab through his heart, further strengthening the dark thoughts in his head. 

“Hey Leo,” someone said from beside him. The voice sounding familiar, his head snapped up in surprise. Hinata crouched in front of him, Kageyama and Minami behind him. 

“Oh… hey dad.” 

Hinata smiled bittersweetly, slowly helping Leo get up. 

“What are you doing here?” Leo asked, his words coming out forced. His eyes still refused to meet theirs, finding the floor more interesting. 

“To tell you that you did your best, and it was a really good game.” Kageyama nodded while Minami sent him a small smile. 

“I uh- thanks…” his mind not wanting to take their words. 

He felt stupid. He didn’t want words of “you did great” or “maybe next time.” Everytime someone said those phrases, it sent a spark onto the fire already burning within him from his fury. 

Minami stepped in front of Hinata, her arms wide open. “You want a hug?” she asked softly. His eyes rose to meet hers and resentment flowed right out of him. He couldn’t control it as his eyes sharpened, his voice deathly cold, “No thank you,” brushing his twin off. He didn’t want to look at her face, the face of someone who was actually able to play volleyball to the best of their abilities. A frown formed on her face that soon dropped into a scowl as her arms fell back down, “what’s your problem?” 

Leo realized he was still surrounded by his teammates, but for some reason, he couldn’t care less. His mouth burst out with words that he couldn’t contain, “I don’t have a problem.” 

Minami crossed her arms, “oh yeah, then why the nasty tone?” 

“What tone?” Leo huffed.

“That!” she said, pointing at him. Her eyebrows furrowed in rage. 

“Hey guys….” Hinata said, trying to stop the two. Everyone’s eyes were on them, watching the beginnings of an unravelment of a lifelong friendship. 

“Just leave me alone,” Leo snapped. 

“Excuse me?” 

“You heard me, I don’t want to see your face.” 

“Seriously, what is your problem?!” Minami yelled back, confused. 

“What, do you want me to be sorry?” 

Minami scoffed, “you’re just acting like this because you lost.” Leo’s vision went blurry as anger blinded him, his self-control snapping even more. His body lunged towards Minami, but was stopped when Kageyama stepped in front of him. “You both need to stop, people are watching,” his voice harsh, but Leo could feel Kageyama’s gaze sharpen on him. 

“Tell that to him,” Minami said, scowled. 

Leo leaned back, eyes averted, “leave.” 

“This isn’t our home dumbass. You can’t tell me to leave in a public area.” 

“We’re leaving Leo,” Kageyama said, holding his arm and dragging. 

“Wait what?” suddenly shaken out of his stupor. 

“We’re going home.” 

“But Coach-”

“Coach said to take you home.” 

Coach Ukai nodded his head, his eyes filled with worry when looking at Leo. They walked past Hinata and Minami, the latter still annoyed, both of them refusing to look at each other. A few seconds later, Tsukshima and Yamaguchi walked up towards the group. 

“Well if it isn’t the king,” Tsukishima said, amused. 

“Tsuki…” Yamaguchi said, sighing. 

He turned towards Leo, “good game out there.” The words entered his ears, his teeth grit, he looked away. 

“Tsk, your son couldn’t get starting position and he’s acting like this? We saw everything.” 

“Tsuki!” 

Leo hit his boiling point. He felt like he was going to erupt any second

Why? Does the world hate me that much? Leo could feel Kageyama starting to argue with Tsukishima, both glaring at each other. 

“Okay dad, you can stop. This isn’t necessary,” Dino said, standing up, the team still behind them watching. 

“Son of a pro volleyball player right?” Tsukishima said, ignoring his son. 

“Okay!” Yamaguchi yelled, intervening, pushing his husband out of Kageyama’s line of sight. Hinata shook his head, telling Kageyama to stop. Yamaguchi turned to look at the Shoyo family, “sorry, he’s just salty they lost.”

 “Let’s put the blame on Leo since he wants to act like a baby here,” Minami’s voice raising on purpose, “must suck losing.” 

“Well I hope you fucking lose,” he responded, the urge to fight with Minami fumed, but he could feel Kageyama’s hand tighten on his arm.  Hinata must have said something, but they couldn’t hear it, the two of them continuing to walk in different directions, neither bothering to look back at one another.  

The silence in the car was stifling as Leo watched cities turn into small towns. Kageyama told him to get in the car, but other than that, neither of them spoke ever since leaving the gym. 

A few minutes from leaving, Kageyama received a call from Hinata. His voice blasted out from the phone, telling Kageyama that he was going to continue staying with Minami throughout Interhigh. 

“Are you gonna come back or stay with Leo?” his body stiffened up at his name. 

“I’ll stay at home with Leo, so tell Minami I said good luck.” 

“Okay, get home safe, and Leo?” Hinata said. Leo didn’t speak despite the glance from Kageyama through the rearview mirror. 

Hinata sighed through the phone, “Hopefully you can talk it out with dad but, I know you probably don’t want to hear this right now. You really did good in the game, really.” The click of the call ending was the ball that knocked over everything within himself. Regret and shame flooded every part of his body. 

All he wanted to do was disappear.

DAY 8 of the many face(les)s of midoriya izuku & bakugou katsuki

do you like rain?

The quotes in the back of page 1 are from this older comic I did. As for the next page, it's sort of the scene that I plan to write... sort of being that everything you see here is semi-canon at best. :)

Anyway, let us continue this angst train~! Hey, but at least Kacchan isn't "spirited away" this time, right? At least the one who got the death blow was Deku here... see, I don't play favorites :) Both of them get to suffer angst at equal intervals.

(Also, just because I feel like spelling out this entry, the horror of this piece is multifold. The horror of (potentially) losing (another) a loved one, the horror of death, the horror of disconnection.)

DAY 7.5 // DAY 9 & 10

[mimithealpaca]

DAY 17 of the many face(les)s of midoriya izuku & bakugou katsuki

DAY 16 of the many face(les)s of midoriya izuku & bakugou katsuki

a continuation of day 8

day 16 was a sad day for me, so day 16 is also sad. but in a way where i'm trying to make meaning out of that sadness.

also, although this one was a rush job, i do like how slow the first page is. at the moment, my main comic project (KACCHAN IS A FUDANSHI!) is a comedy, so i don't really have opportunities to play with time, pacing, and space like a lot of tense moments in dramatic comics have. but i love doing those too.

DAY 15 // DAY 17
