Bakugou’s Point of view
I sat down on the chair, Eijirou intent on enjoying the apple pie from the day before, a small slice apparently. The discussion had begun yesterday evening when I noticed the lid of the cake leaning awkwardly, it didn't take much to guess the thief; my husband Eijirou! The discussion the night before about the pie tips that disappeared into thin air (inside Red's stomach) made me have a hell of a night! It's well known by now that I can't handle stress well, yet that sucker decided to eat the tips of the applepie, and now he was even starting to complain about the lack of them.
"Serves you right" I accused him "AND DON'T TOUCH MY PIE !" I yelled when he reached out to take a piece "Come on Kats, I didn't do it on purpose, it was good, okay?"
I abandoned the conversation giving him a piece, I knew how it would end, tormented days until I cooked him a new one: what kind of big baby! I held back a smile and focused my attention out the window; the gloomy gray sky promised rain in the next few hours, I took a deep breath, the rain calmed me down, especially the moments before, just when everyone was running for cover, when the laundry was hauled in, the windows and doors closed… there! At that moment I was at peace with myself. No stress, just a time that seemed to stop to make room for the impending rain. And it was in those moments that Kirishima and I spent our most intimate moments together. Eijirou's humming in the wooden kitchen brought me back to reality. I saw him concentrate on the table, trace its veins with his finger, mh! Our house looked like a mountain cabin, this is because the mountain is calm, there is no confusion, only silence and when I came home after a mission I wanted Kirishima and I to leave the world outside in our house, only the two of us were allowed in, no one else!
"Every morning!" I began by catching Kirishima's attention
“Every morning what?” he echoed me
"The face! Look damn it!"
He laughed a bit before replying “Aww, come on look how manly it is to have uhm a swollen little face, you look like a baby, it is really adorable” I glared at him “You know what else is swollen?” I replied observing the tea, sudden coughing sounds made me have a heart attack, I glared at him for a few seconds, waiting for the coughing to subside but nothing, at least he was laughing
"Oi" I called him but the only answer he gave me was a smirk and a raised finger to indicate a minute, I jumped up and patted his back "Stop coughing instead of laughing you stupid!" I scolded him affectionately, I couldn't get really angry with him, I pretended yes, but the truth was that for me Kirishima was both my weak point and my greatest strength. Never over the years would I have thought I'd love someone so deeply, yes of course I had crushes that I didn't even want to admit to myself but NEVER such an intense feeling as for the Red Riot hero who at moments goes to the other world with tea . And this feeling changed over time, it grew with us, but it never faded, not even for a second. “Come on Bakugou! I'm fine, don't kill me! My tea just went on the wrong pipe" his voice brought me back to the present reality "May I know what the hell are you doing?" I said walking towards my chair, those high backs were the end of this world “Nah-uh Katsuki!” and I felt pulled around my waist, I momentarily lost my balance to end up weightlessly on his knees, he didn't seem upset and on the contrary held me close to him, his arms were squeezing me in my lower abdomen, he continued "What was that reference? What is it that I would have swollen?”
But what the hell did he understand? “For the love of God! I meant your butt! What the heck … and stop looking innocent! You are a devil!” I bit my lip to hold back the laughter
"Oh yes? Then why are you smiling?” I ruffled his hair in a spiteful way "Stop it or I'll throw away all the red hairdye" he looked at me dumbfounded, his eyes increased in volume "You would never do that" with a grin I replied "Try me". He raised his hands in defense, the message was clear – you win.
Still sitting on my lap I stretched my back "Damn neck pain!" I said halfway between sighs “What can I say Bakugou, we are no longer the 16-year-old boys who just entered the U.A. , huh?”
“Ah! 16 my ass! I was 16, you were 15”
“Just because I was born in October, but the year is the same”
"As you like" I replied absentmindedly before continuing "Almost 25... I still can't believe it", I heard him nod behind me "Like it or not I feel my body change" I felt a crunch in my back, even Eijirou noticed it "Are you alright? I also felt this for you" I ignored his question and continued with my reasoning "Starting from this cursed neck!" he laughed “Ah well Kats, do you want my metabolism? If I'm not careful, I'll end up not going through the door” the same old tragedy.
"Don't be stupid, you're fine like this." I softened, I never understood what problems he had with his quirk, or with his body, damn I'd give I don't know what for those pectorals, but apparently everyone has their insecurities huh? "And in any case I don't care, if you're fine I don't care" he squeezed me in a hug "We are sweet this morning eh?" he teased me before thanking me “Yeah,yeah! Come on, move your butt and let's go for a walk"
I stood up against his protests “But Kats” he started looking at the window behind him, his eyebrows decided to take a worried position “It's going to rain”
"Exactly" I said already with a shoe slipped on "So you move?" he moaned but in any case he imitated my movements yawning, but could a man be so adorable? What the hell! I ignored the butterflies in my stomach, decided on a more grumpy approach "Come on move"
"Wait!" he said when I closed the door behind me leaving him locked inside "The keys!" we stared at each other for a moment before I made a face at him "Yes, I know, you take them since you're still inside".
I would never have admitted that I had thoughtlessly locked myself out, luckily Eijirou always comes out last, otherwise we would have had to call Deku, Todoroki, Mina and company ... I thanked God that Kirishima had remained locked in "So are we ready?" Eijirou was already at my side, keys in his pocket, umbrella in hand and door closed. I nodded.
