Chapter Text
"I won't take care of that brat!" exclaimed Bakugou.
"Don't raise your voice at me, young man," Aizawa warned. "You have no choice; it's your fault he's like this."
"Tsk, what a pile of cra-"
"Bakugo-kun," called a voice. He turned to see the brown-haired girl holding a mini Deku in her arms "I'II help you take care of him. After all, the responsibility falls on me too for being part of the team. Besides, Deku-kun is my friend."
The blonde was about to protest again, insisting that she could handle it alone, but his teacher gave him a look that forced him to hold his tongue.
"Then both of you will take responsibility. End of discussion," Aizawa declared, turning on his heel to leave.
"This is crap," Bakugo muttered under his breath, though unfortunately for him, his teacher overheard.
"Is that an attitude I hear, Bakugo?" Aizawa asked, his presence exuding an aura so menacing it could even intimidate All Might.
The blonde fell silent, biting back a string of curses, settling for muttering them in his mind.
"I thought so." With that, Aizawa finally left, leaving the two alone.
A heavy silence settled between them, broken only by Deku's babbling-baby babbling, mind you, not the usual not-so-short Deku's ramblings
"Nom, nom," Izuku began chewing on his foot, eliciting a few giggles from the brown-haired girl.
"Don't do that," she said softly, lifting his arms and making the green-haired infant laugh. "You're so adorable."
While she was distracted, playing with the baby, thinking that taking care of someone as sweet as Deku would be a piece of cake, the blonde watched her with a twitch in his eye.
Stupid nerd! Stupid round face! Stupid useless villain! Die, all of you!
He cursed mentally, letting out a few growls that the brown-haired girl noticed.
"Do you want to hold him?" she asked, extending the baby towards him with a kind smile.
"Not a chance," he replied, ready to walk away. But the round faced girl followed him.
"W-wait, Bakugo-kun!" she called, running after him.
He stopped, glaring at her out of the corner of his eye with a look that made her tremble, but she chose to stand her ground.
"Just hold him for a moment. We're both responsible for him," she said with determination, though her legs were shaking. "Don't tell me Bakugo-kun is afraid of a baby?" she teased with a smirk. The baby was swiftly snatched from her arms.
"Tsk, as if I'd be afraid of a useless baby," he scoffed, though she smiled triumphantly.
His red eyes fell on the green-haired infant. The situation seemed utterly ridiculous to him but it wasn't fear. He tried to lift the baby a bit, mimicking what the girl had done earlier, earning a smile from the green-eyed child.
"See? He likes you, she commented kindly. He gave her an unconvinced look.
He turned his attention back to the baby in his hands. Anyone else would say he looked cute, but he was not "anyone." At least the kid wasn't babbling nonsense or calling him by that absurd nickname. That was something, at least.
"K...a...u...la.." the baby babbled
"Oh, I think he's about to speak!" the girl said excitedly, her eyes sparkling with joy
Both of them stared at the baby, though the girl was the only one excited.
"U...wa...na-" And then, vomit. Right on the most patient and understanding person in the world.
The girl quickly took Deku into her arms, watching in horror as a wave of fury began to build.
"He's just a baby, Bakugo-kun, no need to get mad about it," she said, slowly backing away. "We need to breathe and calm down."
"Deku!" Bakugo roared as the girl bolted for her life, and that of the baby she held.
"He doesn't know what he's doing he's just a baby!" she exclaimed, activating her Quirk to float into the air, pursued by rage in human form.
"I don't give a damn! I'll kill him!" he shouted furiously, using his explosions to chase after her.
"You need to calm down Bakugo-kun!"
"Get down here right now, I'l murder that son of a bi-"
"Don't talk like that in front of a child!"
Maybe this wasn't as much of a piece of cake as she had thought.
