sweet like honey ꒰ tangled hearts series - kiribaku x fem!reader ꒱ ⇢ you and kirishima organize a small dinner to celebrate bakugo's 31st birthday.

꒰ tags & content ꒱ fluffy & tooth-rotting fluff for kat's birthday ♡ cross posted to ao3 // wc; ~1.1k ✿ tangled hearts masterlist ✿ ↶ | previous entry (twisted in bedsheets) ↷ | next entry (stitched muses)

Trying to plan a surprise was literally impossible in the Kirishima-Bakugo household. The house was always in pristine condition, everything in it's proper place and able to be located without a second thought. If something was moved or used, there was a 95% chance Bakugo would notice, no matter what it was - his favorite spatula, a random mug, and even a specific set of towels in the bathroom. He had the house mapped in his mind down to the last non-existent dust bunny in the foyer.

By some miracle, Bakugo believed Kirishima was taking him out to dinner for his birthday and didn't invite you along. Sure, they needed their time alone together too, but most of the time, Bakugo was the one making sure you were included in their plans. It all worked out in your favor, though. Earlier in the week, you’d texted the both of them to trick Bakugo into thinking you wouldn’t see him Saturday.

the lion, the witch & the gym bro ❤️💖🧡 [you] hey babes! are you guys free saturday for dinner? [katsu 🐯🧡] what kinda fuckin’ group name is that?! i better be the lion [katsu 🐯🧡] and sorry baby, eiji's made plans for us [eiji 🥊❤️] i think it’s cute 😜 [eiji 🥊❤️] sorry love! we can meet up for breakfast on sunday though 💕 [you] that's okay! yes, kats, you're the lion lol. breakfast on sunday it is 💖

Kirishima was fully aware of your plan, ecstatic that you wanted to do something so sweet for Bakugo. He’d told you how all of his past surprise parties had failed for him - he couldn’t keep the excitement to himself and would fold before the party happened. You had to do a little work to be sure he wouldn’t spill the beans this time, too. Nothing a few sweet kisses couldn’t fix, promising to reward him for keeping quiet.

A quick trip to the grocery store and plenty of recipe research later, you had everything you needed to make the dinner. Kirishima mentioned that you’d have about half an hour to set up and get everything ready, so most of the cooking would need to be done in your apartment. It was simple, a mish-mash of his favorites; mapo tofu, cooked salmon with a honey garlic glaze and some grilled vegetables. You thought about using Bakugo’s home grown veggies, but that would have given away the surprise if he saw them go missing that morning.

Cooking went surprisingly easier than you thought it would. Creating the glaze for the salmon was honestly the hardest part, but you're proud of how it looks and smells, the fish cooked with a perfect sear. Your kitchen smells incredible and it's sad that the aroma won't be fully following you to their home.

Just when you're putting everything in the oven to keep warm, you get a text from Kirishima.

[eiji 🥊❤️] we’re leaving the house now! you’re clear to head over in five minutes [you] thanks eiji! i’ll pack up and head over.

When you arrive at their house, you park around the corner to be sure Bakugo doesn't see your car before he goes inside. Your unloading the food onto the kitchen counter when your phone buzzes three times, one from Kirishima and two from Bakugo, outside of your group chat.

[eiji 🥊❤️] headed home, kats is a little grumpy lol. see you in 15!

[katsu 🐯🧡] eiji fucked up our reservation and we're headed home [katsu 🐯🧡] if ya wanna come over. miss you sweets

'Oh, if only he knew,' you thought, smiling to yourself. You don't respond and place your phone back on the counter.

With the food in the oven to warm up, the table set, the lights off, and Bakugo's present on the counter, you were ready for them to walk through the door any moment now. Kirishima warned you that Bakugo was upset, but you're confident his mood will do a 180 once he sees the true plan.

The front door opens, accompanied by shoes hitting the floor and keys hitting the table in the entry way.

"Can't believe they messed up the reservation," you hear Bakugo complain, grumbling to himself. "Stupid ass fancy place can't keep their books straight."

"I know, I'm sorry baby," Kirishima apologizes, looking toward the kitchen to catch your eye. "But I think you'll prefer to be home, anyways."

Bakugo's about to question why when you walk out of the kitchen and into view, hair pulled back in a neat ponytail and wearing his favorite pretty black dress.

"Happy birthday, Katsuki! Hope you're hungry, we've got plenty waiting for you."

You're expecting him to burst out laughing, make a snarky comment, or roll his eyes with a smirk on his face, but none of that comes. He stands there, awestruck with a gleam in his carmine stare while his lips curl into a genuine smile.

"You two really did all this for me?" Bakugo asks, looking back and forth between you and Kirishima.

"Of course, Kat. You deserve to be spoiled! Come on, dinner is ready." You take his hand and lead him into the kitchen, pulling out his normal chair at the table. Kirishima follows, helping you prep three plates of food and delivering them to the table. After you place Bakugo's plate down in front of him, he grabs your face and tugs you back into his bubble to kiss you.

"Thank you," he whispers, nuzzling your nose before letting you go. He repeats then sentiment to Kirishima as well, giving him a peck on his forehead before he joins the table. "Both of you."

The three of you devour every bite of dinner - it turned out absolutely fantastic, ending with Bakugo asking you for the recipe you used for the salmon. That's the highest compliment coming from him, knowing that he's going to take the original and hit the ground running with a version of his own.

"One more thing for you, Kats!" you exclaim, grabbing the gift bag from the counter. Bakugo takes the present from you, rustling through the orange tissue paper. When he pulls out the brand new gardening tool kit, including some vegetable and flower seeds, his eyes sparkle with delight.

"I know you more than likely have a set already, but it never hurts to have a back up!"

Bakugo sets the bag on the counter and scoops you into a tight hug.

"Thank you, princess. I appreciate it."

Kirishima struts over, patting him on the back. "Maybe our little goddess here could help you plant the new seeds! Now that you have two sets, you could teach her how you tend to the garden."

"That's a great idea, Red. We can start soon with spring in full swing."

You couldn't be happier with how the day turned out. Seeing Bakugo's smile is all you ever wished for. He was glowing for the rest of the night, giddy over the idea of teaching you all about his gardening ways in the coming weeks.

Safe to say, it was a successful birthday.

⋆ ˚ʚɞ — recipe for the salmon cause it made my mouth water! i also wrote this in a frenzy so i hope it still is quality haha ✿ wildflowers; @maddietries @smolbeanzzz @camila2201 @lik0 @pixel4ffecti0n @moonlight-dreamer04 @lumi-cent @pastelbakugou @hannahk @camryn-ciel67 @c4prisuna @perfectsukii @screechingpeachdelusion

ꕤ 𝓨𝓾𝓵𝓲𝔂𝓪 ꕤ

*Please note: The artwork of Yuliya used in this post is a commission I got from Caatyeart on Etsy ♡ Link to their shop here! ♡

Voice claim: Kana Hanazawa as Mitsuri Kanroji - Demon Slayer

❥❥❥ Character Info:

An introvert who enjoys rhythm games, Yuliya ended up in Twisted Wonderland by accident. She was feeding the stray cats near her school (as she usually does) when a cat she had never seen before ran by. Curious, she chased after it, causing her to fall into a hole and end up in Twisted Wonderland. (Like in Alice in Wonderland)

Yuliya does not replace in game Yuu, who I have made a separate OC for. (Their name is Yuurio, and they go by they/them or he/him pronouns) But she does show up in Twisted Wonderland before the events of the prologue (so before Yuurio arrives, and before Grim and the first years come to Night Raven)

Since she is magicless, she primarily helps Sam in his shop (or works at the Mostro Lounge) while attending the few classes she's able to take. She doesn't really excel at any subject (since she doesn't like to stand out or draw attention to herself), and is just trying her best to get by.

Personality wise, she is an introvert, and suffers from anxiety. She is a very cautious person, and has to think things over or plan things out before she does anything, as it helps ease her mind. Once she's comfortable around someone, she becomes more open and bubbly around them, no longer overthinking her interactions with them.

(Please note: Yuliya is plus sized. I know it may be hard to tell through this artwork of her, so I thought I should mention it just in case ♡)

❥❥❥ Basic Info:

Height: 163cm

Age: 17-18 years old

Grade: Sophomore (2nd year)

Nicknames: Liya (Yuurio, close friends), Mademoiselle/Madame Cautious (Rook), Leaf Sheep (Floyd) *A common name used for the Costasiella Kuroshimae, Herbivore (Leona)

Birthday: October 16th

Dominant hand: Right

Favorite food: Chicken Katsu Curry Rice

Least favorite food: Condiments (Ketchup, Mustard, Mayonnaise, etc)

Best subject: None

Hobby: Mobile Gaming, Listening to Music

Club: Board Game club

Talent: Losing 50/50's (in gacha games)

❥❥❥ Relationships/Dynamics:

Yuurio: She knew of Yuurio before they came to Twisted Wonderland, having seen them feed the stray cats she normally would on occasion. Though she did not know their name, she knew of their reputation (For context, Yuurio is a delinquent), and would keep her distance from them. Yuurio was almost expelled near the beginning of their freshman year, being accused of vandalism they didn't do. Yuliya, knowing they couldn't have done it, mustered the strength to intervene, stepping in and vouching for them. Shortly after this happened, she ended up in Twisted Wonderland, and wouldn't interact with Yuurio again until they showed up during the main story's prologue.

She has a close relationship with Yuurio, doing her best to keep them out of trouble. She is essentially their voice of reason, stopping them from rushing in headfirst (when she can), and having them think things through. She worries about them, and always patches them up after they get into a fight (while gently scolding them).

On Yuurio's end: They greatly admire Yuliya, not having forgotten what she did for them before ending up in Twisted Wonderland. It was the first time someone had believed in them, and they refuse to take the trust she has for them for granted. They do their best to look out for her, much like how she does for them. They have a tendency to pick her up and run when there's danger, and it's a fight they know they can't win. They enjoy teasing her (affectionately) and jokingly flirting with her, enjoying how it riles certain characters up when they do.

Kalim Al-Asim: One of the very first among those she met when ending up in Twisted Wonderland, she and Kalim are good friends. When Crowley wasn't sure what to do with her (as he didn't consider Ramshackle until Yuurio showed up), Kalim offered for her to stay at Scarabia, making her an honorary member of the dorm. She appreciated his kindness, opening up to him with each interaction they had. Through their interactions, he learned it was best to inform her of parties in advance, and would make it a point to let her know as soon as possible (though sometimes he would forget, which he would apologize for).

She developed a crush on him as they got to know each other, but it quickly faded as she realized the love she had for him was platonic, not romantic. She makes it a point to attend the Pop Music club concerts, wanting to support him. She usually stays towards the back of the crowd though, and doesn't approach him afterwards until everyone has left.

On Kalim's end: He considers her to be a good friend, and he appreciates how she takes the time to help him as he tries to become more independent after Book 4.

Jamil Viper: She could tell that Jamil wasn't fond of her, making sure to keep her distance. They got to know each other better through Kalim, almost becoming friends before Book 4 happened. After Book 4, their relationship is strained, with Jamil being distant and simply watching her from afar. She is under the impression that he dislikes her, keeping her distance as she silently wondered what she did wrong. Their relationship gets better with time (and Kalim and Yuurio's help lol)

On Jamil's end: From the moment Kalim offered for her to stay at Scarabia he wasn't fond of her, already considering how it might effect any future plans he had. As he slowly got to know her though, he found that he enjoyed her company, talking about music and dancing (usually from the rhythm games she plays). With her willingness to help him with his duties (when he insists she didn't need to) and her genuine care for his interests, he realized he was starting to develop feelings for her, immediately pushing them down. Before Book 4 begins, he has her transferred to Octavinelle, not wanting her to interfere with his plan. This ends up backfiring for him, as Yuurio (plus the octotrio and Yuliya) put a stop to it.

After his overblot, he decides to keep his distance, not wanting the feelings he was starting to develop for her to grow. He is under the impression that she is in love with Kalim, and tries to deny the jealousy he feels whenever he sees them together. His feelings for her fade eventually (or so he says...)

Azul Ashengrotto: She has a love-hate relationship with Azul, steering clear of Octavinelle entirely at first. She didn't trust him (or anyone in Octavinelle really), and it didn't help that he kept trying to persuade her into going to the Mostro Lounge the few times they interacted. Being in the same club as him did help her perspective a little bit, and she did end up going to the lounge eventually (Floyd dragged her there...) But the moment she heard contract she was on high alert all over again, refusing him if he even hinted at it.

He didn't help his case when he started telling her to transfer to Octavinelle, having noticed she's more intelligent and perceptive than she shows. Jade and Floyd would also "encourage" her to transfer, even though she would refuse every time they brought it up. Their relationship got better after Book 3, with Yuliya even agreeing to work in the lounge on occasion, willing to give him a chance. When she transfers to Octavinelle before Book 4 begins, she fully believes it was his doing, causing their relationship to worsen as she loses all trust in him. He regains her trust by the end of Book 4, with their relationship being better than it had been before. Though she may deny it, she does enjoy Azul's company, and thinks that being apart of Octavinelle isn't so bad.

On Azul's end: While she may not be fond of him, he is fond of her, doing his best to get her attention. He was surprised (and ecstatic) when she finally transferred, though he was suspicious at her sudden change of heart. He realized what was going on when she began accusing him of filling out the transfer paperwork and forging her signature, losing all the progress he made with her. He was happy he was able to regain her trust by the end of Book 4, and that their relationship turned out better from it. He hopes he can convince her to drop her job at Sam's shop, and get her to work at the lounge exclusively.

Jade Leech: While she didn't trust anyone from Octavinelle, she especially didn't trust Jade, running from him whenever she would see him. He found it amusing how scared she was of him, making it a point to surprise her whenever he could. Walking up behind her and putting a hand on her shoulder, watching her jump. Turning the corner and seeing her down the hall, waving with a smile on his face as she bolts in the other direction. He was curious to see what kinds of reactions he could get out of her, finding them quite cute. She becomes less afraid of him as she gets to know him, reacting less over time. He thought that once her reactions stopped he would become bored with her, but he keeps finding new ways to get a reaction, even if it's not out of fear. When she transfers to Octavinelle and starts working at the lounge, she always seem to work the same shift as him.

Floyd Leech: While she was hesitant around him at first, she was never as scared of him as she was with Jade, even knowing of his mood swings and violent tendencies. She gets along well with him, though they never really seek the other out (unless he's asked). He trades his shifts with Jade whenever he's scheduled to work with her at the lounge (as Jade asked him to). She is unaware of this.

Vil Schoenheit: At first she avoided him (and Pomefiore) due to misjudging his character, and apologizes to him after realizing her mistake. She isn't close with him, but they do get along.

Rook Hunt: She has a habit of looking around, feeling like someone was watching her. It was usually Rook, curious about her and observing her from afar. He was the one who helped clear up her misconception about Vil, noticing how she would avoid him (and Pomefiore as a whole) She gets along well with him, and they have a friendly relationship. She will stop by the science club on occasion, curious to know what he's doing.

Leona Kingscholar: While their relationship was rocky at first, she does get along with him, and they have a mutual respect for each other. He was surprised when she stood her ground with him, knowing of her personality. While others tend to be overprotective of her, Leona believes that she can take care of herself, and has developed a bit of a soft spot for her (that he'll never admit to). He prefers her over Yuurio.

Jack Howl: She and Jack have a good relationship, getting to know each other during Books 2 and 3. She is friendly with him, but they don't really seek each other out. She mainly sees him when he's with Yuurio and the other first years.

Idia Shroud: She technically first met Idia through a game they both play, each of them unaware of the other's IRL identity. She "officially" met him through the Board Game club, getting to know him with each club meeting. Azul would subtly help their relationship grow, bringing up things that Idia had mentioned that he knew she liked as well. Due to their mutual interests and her curiosity towards his engineering (along with Ortho's encouragement), they slowly grew to be close friends, and even developed feelings for each other. She doesn't tell him her feelings though (and neither does he), but it's obvious to those around them that they like each other. (If they were to become a couple, it would happen before the start of Book 7)

Ortho Shroud: She and Ortho have a good relationship, and get along well together. He enjoys how happy she makes his big brother, and does his best to encourage their relationship however he can.

❥❥❥ Fun Facts:

She has a big sweet tooth, with a preference for candy

She can cook/bake (Yuurio cannot)

She knows of Malleus, but doesn't officially meet him until the end of Book 5 (when he fixes the stage/auditorium after Vil's overblot)

She tried to transfer to Ramshackle after being transferred to Octavinelle (before Book 4 began), but Crowley told her that she wouldn't be able to transfer dorms again until next year, due to how long and tedious the transfer process is

She refused to go to Heartslabyul until she had read and memorized all the rules, worried about what would happen if she broke one

She's finally here! ♡

Ahhhh I'm so happy to finally be done with this lol ♡ I was not expecting it be this long! ♡

If you've read this far: thank you so much! I really appreciate your interest in Yuliya (and Yuurio too!) ♡

Yuliya and Yuurio are a duo, and while they may appear in each book, only one of them is considered the "main Yuu" or "main character" (depending on the book)

For example, Yuliya does appear in the prologue and Book 1, but Yuurio is the one that actually experiences the story (if that makes sense!)

𝓣𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓴 𝔂𝓸𝓾! ♡

[sunnyshiloh]

hi shiloh ♡ how are you and your fave(s) preparing for the winter / holidays ? any changes to your routine ? (◍•ᴗ•◍)

Jaaaade! 💚🌼 Thank you for another question! I had to spend a little time thinking of what I would do with my two favorites, so it took me a little time to answer. Sorry for being late! I've finally thought of something though, for the two of them~

Winter/Holidays with Tighnari would look like...

Tighnari selecting a good tree that could go indoors. Particularly one that would smell nice and could handle being indoors and could hold decorations! He would probably switch between trees each year and tell me all about them

Tighnari helping to select the appropriate winter attire for both Collei and I, and you know we are both in for a light scolding if we don't wear them, haha. He can't help it. He's just worried about us~

Me baking a lot and making sweet treats during Christmas. If the entirety of Gandharva Ville doesn't smell like grandma's bakery, then I have failed haha

Cyno coming over for Christmas and telling jokes the whole time. Tighnari would hate it so much, but I would love it because I enjoy puns so much! We would have a nice dinner and put ornaments on the tree. And the forest rangers can take whatever baked goods are left over because there will be plenty 💚

Going shopping for presents for both Christmas and Tighnari's birthday because his birthday is just 4 days later. And I will probably hide them in my teapot so he doesn't find them

Tighnari wrapping me in his warm tail when the nights get cold

Winter/Holidays with Heizou would look like....

Begging Kujou Sara to let Heizou have Christmas off at least ("Yes I know I borrowed him to help save the otters and the whole nation of Fontaine from drowning but can he have Christmas off too? Pleaaaaa--")

Walking through Inazuma City while it's snowing, hand in hand. I bet it looks very beautiful. We can look at the scenery and grab a few bites to eat as well as some hot tea~

Picking out presents and hiding them in the teapot... in vain! He is so sharp and kind of nosy that he would know what they are and where I hid them, being a detective and all. And if I try to ask what my presents are, he would definitely make a game out of it, giving me clues but never the answer

Going to see his interesting martial arts family and then going to my teapot to spend the rest of the day together. If my teapot doesn't smell like grandma's bakery then again I've failed, haha.

Ending the day cuddling on the couch and watching both Christmas movies and mysteries after opening presents and eating katsudon (tofu katsu for me!) Interesting combination~

One of his presents to me was a matching brown Temari kimono coat like his. I would love it so much~

Thank you again for asking! Actually, I've been wanting to send this exact question into your inbox for a few days now! Can I still do it? 💚

Warnings: Mentions of PCOS and Infertility, Alcohol Use, Angst & Fluff

this is something i wrote for katsu’s birthday this year, and i hadn’t brought it back to tumblr yet! please heed the warnings because this is a very sensitive topic, and id hate to upset anyone ♡︎ based loosely on real life and more by halsey

He remembers the phone call when he looks at you sometimes, sadness a heavy curtain casting doubt over both of you.

“It’s called polycystic ovarian syndrome, and—” your voice cracks, the sound spearing his chest. “I’m infertile, Katsu.” Then you cry.

He’d asked you over and over if you’d wanted him to go with you to the doctor, borderline pleaded with you to take him; but you’d insisted you were fine, that everything would be okay.

“It’s fine, Katsu, go to work.” You’d said, kissing him on the cheek and slapping his ass, before pushing him out the door.

That was months ago now.

Prior to the appointment, he had an inkling something was wrong. You wanted a baby, the pair of you had been trying for months, and nothing. But you were so optimistic, so fucking positive that everything was fine.

Now, you sit on the couch, book closed on your lap, staring at the television. To anyone else, you’re watching TV, but he sees through you, knows you’re really lost in thought, agonising about a life that you just can’t have.

Motherhood.

He doesn’t tell you, but he asks around.

He heads back to UA and bails up Recovery Girl. Her face contorts in despair, but she can’t help in the way he wants her to. She digs through her drawer and hands him a pamphlet.

IVF.

In Vitro Fertilisation.

You go wild when you find it. “Why are you doing this, Katsuki?” You demand, tears streaking your cheeks. “This is too expensive, and it won’t work!”

“We won’t know unless we try, dumbass!” He yells back, confused because he’s just trying to help.

“I don’t need people knowing!” You yell back, hysterical. “Can you imagine the headlines? Ground Zero’s wife can’t even do the one thing he needs her to do!” You scrunch up the pamphlet and throw it across the room, dig your fingers into your hair, howling in agony.

“Shut up, I don’t even care if we have kids or not, you know that!” He tries to reason, to calm you down. You haven’t failed him, that’s not what this is. He didn’t marry you for your womb, he married you because he loves you. All of you.

Of course, you take it the wrong way. “Oh, so now you don’t care? Then don’t stick your fucking nose into my health issues!” You hiss, eyes puffy, red, still rimmed with tears. You storm past him, down the hall.

“Baby—” he says, trying to grab your arm.

You yank it back, send him a look that makes him feel like he’s been burnt. He watches as you go to the bedroom, jolts as you slam the door.

He doesn’t press you about it.

Slowly, you get back into the swing of things. But it’s nights like these, nights when you pretend to watch shitty fucking cooking shows—you hate shitty fucking cooking shows— that his heart breaks for you. Nights when he gets home from work and opens the fridge, sees the half empty wine bottle that you swear is the same one from last night. He knows it isn’t. He’s not stupid.

He sees you silently spiral.

Finds the drawer of baby clothes you’d began hoarding when you first started trying for a baby. Picks up a onesie and sees the tiny port-wine stain, smells your perfume on it.

Your friends start falling pregnant, and you see them less, if at all.

You’re home, or you’re out for a run, or you’re at the office. That’s it. Long gone is his social butterfly wife, the life of the party. He hasn’t been dragged to anything in months.

He doesn’t know how to fucking help you; he can’t imagine what you’re going through, but you never let him talk about it.

“Katsu,” You sigh one morning, stirring something into your coffee. “I think I want a puppy.” You call it, because you think he’s down the hall, but he was sneaking up on you, watching from the doorway.

“Babe,” he snakes up behind you, slowly takes the spoon from your hand. “It’s ten in the morning, you don’t need booze.” And he says it softly—so fucking softly—so he doesn’t spook you, doesn’t send you off the deep end like he did when you found the flyer.

You tense up in front of him. “I… I didn’t put anything in it.” You say, nervous.

“C’mon, I’m not a fucking idiot. I can smell it.” He doesn’t scold you, just takes the mug and moves it to the sink, but your shaky hands reach for it, before pulling back completely.

Then you cry.

“I want it,” your knees buckle, and he’s on the floor with you, wrapping his arms around your sobbing form; so thin now, so fragile. How had he let you get like this? “I want to hold him, I just… I just love him so much.” You weep, clutching onto him, your face wetting his t-shirt.

“I know, baby.” He breathes, his own voice shaky, emotion building in his chest.

There’s a long moment where he just holds you, staring at the fridge, the polaroids of you both strewn across the appliance with mismatched magnets.

He wants it, too, he realises. Tiny little mixtures of the two of you plastered there with those photos. Little drawings made with crayons and tiny hands. Like the ones he made when he was little; pictures still proudly displayed in his parents’ home.

“Why… me?” You choke out, so softly he thinks he misses it. His heart breaks, tears fogging the photos he’d been staring at, clouding his vision. He just holds you tight. So fucking tightly that he thinks he might break you, but it feels so good because you’re here in his arms, and you’re opening up to him, and he can be a part of this.

He can, and he should, and you’re finally letting him in.

Finally.

It’s a year later, his birthday.

You invite his parents, your own, Eijiro and his wife, and Deku and Ochako, around for dinner. The food is great—you’d learnt a lot from not watching those shitty fucking cooking shows—and conversation flows.

It’s a pleasant evening, and you’re particularly happy. Excited.

At 9pm, you stand up, stilling conversation. “Time for presents!”

“I don’t fucking want anything,” he grumbles, hand running down his face. But you’re gone, and everyone’s laughing nervously because they all realise at the same time that they didn’t bring him anything.

Then you return with a box. It’s big, wrapped in gaudy Ground Zero wrapping paper, a huge, ugly orange bow sitting obnoxiously on the top.  Eijiro moves Katsuki’s plate, making room for it as you bring it around.

“Babe, what the hell is in here?” He sighs, annoyed, because it’s late and he’s tired and he doesn’t like it when you pull shitty stunts in front of other people.

“Just open it, asshole.” You press a kiss to his temple and set it down, bouncing giddily on the balls of your feet behind him. He can see you in his peripherals. He rolls his eyes.

“Fine. Then everyone can go home.” He announces, sending a pointed look around the table. “We all have work in the morning.”

He sends you one last annoyed glare, before ripping into the paper, tearing the chibi Katsuki faces, the cutesy grenades, until he’s met with a plain brown box. He opens it, finds it filled with shredded orange tissue paper.

That means that whatever you bought him is underneath it all.

He sighs. “Babe—”

“Hurry up!” You step forward to grip his shoulders, rest your chin on his left one.

He sighs again, dives his hand into the paper, pulls the mess of it out with a large hand. When he looks inside, there’s a t-shirt. Its obviously his merch, a stylized Ground Zero on it, explosions shooting out of his hands. The writing says, “I’m Explosive”.

It’s tiny.

His heart stops.

You squeeze his shoulders. “Pull it out.” Your words are soft in his ear, and he can hear your smile.

It is tiny. A baby onesie, not a t-shirt.

People around the table gasp, and both your mother and his begin to cry.

Beneath the shirt is a little photograph. An ultrasound. A black and white bean with your name along the top. His last name.

His.

Yours.

“They said to wait until twelve weeks, because I was at a high risk of miscarriage.” You sigh, pressing a kiss to his cheek, nuzzling him with your nose.

He feels his heart swell, can hear the love in your voice, the excitement. You were on your second round of IVF, but you hadn’t said anything about it since the day of insemination.

Then there’s clapping, and he brings the onesie up to his face, partly to hide himself, partly to dry his tears, and partly to see if it smells like your perfume.

It does.

His birthday the next year is something else entirely.

It’s lunch, and it’s loud.

Deku’s three kids are fighting over the TV inside, and Eiji’s daughter quizzes everyone about their horoscopes while they all sit out on the patio. You’ve invited some friends, too, kids in tow; some are on the trampoline, some in the cubby house by the big cherry blossom tree.

He doesn’t even know how many kids are here. Chooses not to ask you.

It’s loud, and he’s got a fucking headache coming on, but the sight of you laughing and bouncing his baby girl on your knee makes it worthwhile.

He just watches for a while as you make conversation with his mother, hold the puffy little blonde out for her to nurse.

“Katsuki, you’re up for beers!” Eijiro calls, pulling him out of his stupor.

Before kids, he’d scowl and grumble for someone else to get up. Now, he loves walking into the kitchen.

He admires the photos strewn messily across the fridge door, the three of you together, happy, smiling.

The newest addition to the fridge is tiny handprints on an A4 piece of paper where you’ve written:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DADDY!

He places his large hand over it protectively, big, dumb smile plastered to his face.

He doesn’t know what he’d do without the two of you.

He remembers the phone call when he looks at you sometimes, sadness a heavy curtain casting doubt over both of you.

“It’s called polycystic ovarian syndrome, and—” your voice cracks, the sound spearing his chest. “I’m infertile, Katsu.” Then you cry.
