It was an accident, really. Believe him.
Katsuki was just trying to clean the shelves in their bedroom but there was this one tiny dirt he couldn't wipe the fuck off on one of the shelves and it pissed him off so much that he got a little bit aggressive after. Next thing he knew, as he wiped the dirt a little harder, his hand slipped and his elbow knocked over the other shelf where Izuku's important figurines were lined up and displayed at.
His life flashed before his eyes when he heard the shattering sound of a figurine when it hits the hard, cold floor.
It was one of Izuku's favorite figurines.
His brain immediately went, 'you're dead', and he swallowed thickly.
You see, Katsuki doesn't get scared easily. He can count on his fingers (in one hand only) the things that scared him shitless. He's not a pussy, okay? He's a very strong, powerful man. He is— Katsuki is the number two hero, for God's sake.
So, of course, he doesn't get scared easily.
He rarely gets scared.
But when Izuku suddenly entered their bedroom, saw one of his favorite figurines on the floor —broken into tiny fucking pieces— and he slowly looked up to Katsuki with a blank face?
Katsuki wanted to run.
Run as fast as he can and then hide at the back of anyone (preferably a kid— because Izuku would never dare show his scary side in front of an innocent kid) to save himself from the other man's wrath. He was so damn scared when Izuku stared at him for like a minute, but it might as well have been an hour long because it honestly felt like the longest, most terrifying minute of Katsuki's life.
He was holding his breath, waiting for the worst... and then Izuku says with his for-villains-only voice,
"Bakugou Katsuki..."
Katsuki was kicked out of their bedroom, and Izuku doesn't want to speak to him after that— that terrifying shit that happened inside of their bedroom that Katsuki chose not to recall nor retell to anyone, even to himself, ever again.
It's not healthy, so he'll delete it from his memory.
He looks like a kicked puppy (which is hah! he was kicked alright—) inside of one of their guestrooms, sitting on the foot of the bed and cursing himself for being a clumsy-ass idiot. His phone is on his hands as he looks for the same, exact figurine on the internet to replace the one he accidentally turned into tiny, broken pieces just a little while ago.
He was browsing, searching the internet hoping to find someone who's selling that limited edition figurine.
Unfortunately for him, there's... none.
No one has it on the internet.
Katsuki can't find it online.
Fuck.
"Fuck."
He frustratedly combs his spiky blond hair as he starts walking back and forth, grumbling under his breath.
"Fuck this," he exclaimed before walking out of their guestroom like a man on a mission.
Which, he is. On a mission. A very important one at that.
"I'm going out, love!" He yelled for Izuku to hear, who is still inside of their bedroom, he guesses, maybe.
The other man doesn't reply to him like he usually do every time Katsuki says his goodbyes, and Katsuki felt a slight sting in his chest.
That's fine.
(No, never. He needs it back— all their little habits and shit back. His life is incomplete.)
He'll fix it, fix this.
Taking one last deep breath, the ash-blond hero got onto his motorbike and started heading towards the mall to search for the same kind of figurine.
When he arrived at the mall, Katsuki wasted not a single second as he immediately searched for a hero merchandise or figurine store. It took him almost an hour and a half because of how big the fucking mall is, and because whenever he found one decent store, there was nothing like the same figurine he needed— it's not available in those shops.
The store he's about to enter right now is the fifth figurine store in this big-ass mall, and Katsuki's fucking hoping that they have the item he has been looking for or else he needs to find another mall (which would be ugh!). He already went through seven stores in total aside from this one, three of those being a merchandise store.
"Do you have this figurine?" He asked the first store staff he saw upon entering, showing them a picture of the limited-edition figurine he needs to purchase.
The staff stared at him, shocked that the number two hero Dynamight is in their store when Katsuki raises his left eyebrow at them, "Well?"
"O-oh! Yes! Yes, Dynamight-san." They said, and a victorious smirk slowly made its way on Katsuki's face.
Fuck yeah!
"Cool. I'll get it." Katsuki said quickly, eagerly so.
"R-right. This way, sir." The staff excused themselves to get the said figurine, leaving Katsuki alone in front of the counter.
The ash-blond man was looking around as he waited for the store employee to come back when his eyes caught a very familiar figurine in one of the corner shelves of the store.
"Damn..." He whistled when he got a good look on it.
It is the new and probably will be the last All Might limited edition figurine released a month ago.
His nerd has been trying to get his hands on that figurine for weeks now. They have been searching for it on the internet and one of the reasons why they go to the mall whenever it's their day off. The nerd even whined about it to Katsuki last night, saying he needed to have it because his life and his All Might collection would be incomplete or some shit like that.
Katsuki's luck is definitely working now.
Finally.
"Here's your figurine, Dynamight-san, sir." The staff placed the figurine on top of the counter when Katsuki pointed at the All Might figurine.
"I'll get that one, too." He said, and then he adds in an afterthought, "If you also have the new released set of Dynamight merchandise, then I'll get those, too."
Katsuki examined the first figurine and hummed in satisfaction while the staff scrambles to get everything he asked for.
Once back with another staff, they say, "You're lucky, Dynamight-san. These were all our last ones in stock." as they started carefully placing all the items on the counter.
Katsuki grins upon hearing that information.
He'd probably lose his mind if someone got the figurine before him. Katsuki can imagine himself asking the staff about the person who bought the figurine first, their information, what they look like, or if he could watch the store's CCTV footage so he could easily see their faces. Then maybe (scratch that- he would), go find that person and beg them to sell the figurine to him—hah! he never begs, but he will if he must. He'd also offer them his autograph and if they want, a picture with him or some shit (Katsuki never allow pictures, only autographs. Although not every day he gives away autograph to his fans, only when he's feeling extra nice, and he's in a good fucking mood or something).
So, yeah. He is lucky, indeed.
Very lucky.
He took all the things he bought from the staff with extra care after paying and signing their uniforms (he double checked if they wouldn't get in trouble for it), then he's walking out of the store as a very happy and satisfied customer.
When he was out of the store and is walking with the paper bags on his left hand, ready to go home and apologize to his nerd, he passed a Sephora store. It's glowing sign activating a light bulb in his head and then suddenly, he remembers something.
Katsuki stopped dead on his track outside of the said store as he starts emembering that one time Izuku told him how he really liked that sparkly make-up shit Pink Cheeks wore when they attended the previous hero gala.
And, of course, Katsuki needs to get those, too.
He entered the store with so much confident oozing out of him, it would make people think he'd been here before and he knew his way around. He entered as if he is entering a hero agency or their (his and his Izuku's) favourite manga store and not a goddamn cosmetics store, and so to his great dismay, an employee immediately approached him. They started asking him about what he needs or if he's looking for something specific.
But as confident as he may seem when he entered the store a mere minute ago, Katsuki doesn't really know what that sparkly-something is called or what is it for specifically, he just knew it was sparkly as hell and Izuku likes it. Okay, yes– he knows he has parents who have been working in a fashion related job, but that doesn't mean he knows every single make-up available in this fucking planet. Skincare is where his interest at— thank you very much.
With that, he grumbled a low, "Fuck it," to himself and decided to message one of their extras who knows a lot about these kind of shits.
Which will be Pink Cheeks, obviously.
The store employee doesn't seem to mind it, and is just patiently waiting for him when he told them to 'hold for a minute'. Although he's not sure if it's normal that they just stand their beside him or not. Is it because he asked them to hold? Is it because he's the hero Dynamight? Maybe not, and that's just how it is? Nevermind. He doesn't have enough time to give a fuck about all that random shit for now because Izuku's mad at him and he needs to be forgiven immediately, so he just let them stay beside him if that's what they want or have to do.
He started messaging Pink Cheeks with one hand and his other, the one carrying the paper bags with figurines and merchandises, is pressed on his hip.
Pink Cheeks
What's that sparkly shit you put on your face?
Hello to you too, Bakugou
Sparkly shit? You mean, highlighter?
Idfk that's why I'm asking you
Nvm. I'm gonna call you and I need you to tell the sephora extra that I need some sparkly shit, whatever the fuck that is, you put on your face for my baby bcs he's fucking mad at me rn and I remember he said he liked that sparkly shit you were wearing
I need to make my princess happy so I need that fucking sparkly bullshit
First of all, wow. Didn't know that all it takes for you to message me /that/ long and ask for my help is Deku-kun being mad at you 😂
Second, I'm just gonna do what you ask if you tell me why your princess is mad at you
Fuck you
I accidentally broke one of his fav figurine
You're dead. Highlighter isn't enough and you know that 🤣
Of-fucking-course, i know.
Already bought him the new and last limited edition All Might merch plus my own new one
Good. As you should 👍
Call me whenever!
Right now.
He clicks his tongue before quickly calling Ochako after sending his last message, and she never disappoint.
She started doing what Katsuki asked her for that it even reached to the point where the store employee was talking to her directly with his phone on their hand, and Katsuki's just standing beside or following the store employee. He was happy to take a step back and let them discuss shit that would make him clear his goal— by that means making Izuku happy (his ultimate goal in life).
Katsuki ended up buying a full make-up kit good for his fiancé's beautiful face in the Sephora store and some other things for Izuku because Cheeks wouldn't stop blabbing and mentioning shits, which really favors Katsuki.
He needs to be forgiven and he wants to show that he's genuinely sorry about breaking Izuku's stuff.
It was really a blessing in disguise that Pink Cheeks was like; "Oh, Deku-kun also told me he likes this new soft, fluffy sweater—", "He mentioned he saw this new cologne that he really likes the smell of because it smelled like home, a mixture of your smell, his, and your house, or something sweet like that—", or "There was this really 'cool' red shoes —Deku-kun's word, not mine— that he couldn't stop talking about for a week to me last month but he ended up not buying it because it was a little bit price-y...".
And Katsuki was like; "What? Tell me what it is, I'll buy it.", "Where can I find that shit?", "What store can I see and get the original item?", or "Uh-huh. Tell me all about it.".
He spent a total of five hours in the mall (five fucking hours— fuck! that should be a world record or something) and there are a total of five paper bags on each of his hands. He might've also spent a fortune (a whole month's worth of salary), but he genuinely doesn't give a fuck.
Spoiling the love of his life is one of his favourite things to do. It's also been a while since that last time he bought a lot of stuff for Izuku and so he's happy to do this.
Katsuki's just pissed that this started because of some dumb shit— knocking his elbow on his fiancé's treasured shrine like a clumsy-ass idiot.
Never again.
Katsuki was struggling a little when he got into his motorbike and started driving. He was being extra careful and at his most gentle while he was riding back home. He made sure that the paper bags were all secured, and nothing would damage it.
He protected it like his life depends on it (which, once again, kind of fucking true) that the people they are protecting every day in this country should be jealous of.
When Katsuki got home, he was shocked when he got an armful of his beautiful fiancé upon entering their door.
Solid and rough, scarred hands cupping his face and then he's suddenly being showered with wet kisses all over his face.
"Welcome back, Kacchan!" Izuku greeted as he's still showering Katsuki face with kisses.
Katsuki let out a noncommittal sound, eyes a little wide as he lets Izuku kiss the ever-loving-fuck out of his face.
He's confused about what is currently happening and why is the nerd being like this when he was just mad at him almost six hours ago, but Katsuki is not (and will never-ever!) complaining.
He's happy to be greeted like this by his Izuku.
Once Izuku's done kissing him, Katsuki greets him back with a, "Hey, babe." before showing Izuku the paper bags on his hands.
Katsuki turned his head to the side almost (almost) shyly before saying, "I... I bought you these things. I'm sorry for breaking one of your favouri—"
"Ah!" Izuku cuts him off, literally jumping on him again and hugging him tightly, "I'm sorry for getting mad at you, baby!" the other exclaimed, giving a light peck on Katsuki's neck.
Katsuki tried to look at Izuku, who's face is buried on his neck, confused as fuck.
"Why are you apologizing?" He asked because, really, why the fuck is the nerd apologizing to him?
Isn't it supposed to be the other way around because, uh, Katsuki's the one who made a mistake?
"Because it was just a figurine and I overreac—"
"It was one of your favorite old ones." Katsuki stated while frowning.
He doesn’t like hearing the love of his life apologizing for valid things like that.
He thinks Izuku have all the rights to get mad at him for breaking one of the things the other treasured a lot— it doesn't matter even if it's 'just' a figurine, that shit is still important as fuck and the nerd shouldn't be apologizing to him for reacting the way he did earlier at all. Even if it was an accident, it was still broken and Katsuki wouldn't get mad at Izuku for being mad at him. Who is he to get mad, afterall? If Katsuki was just careful enough, then that wouldn't have had happen. Also, if that was his? A thing he cares about deeply, considered as one of his prize possessions? Heck! He'd get mad, too, if someone —or even if it's Izuku himself— breaks it! That's a normal, valid reaction.
"Still, I'm sorry for getting mad at you and kicking you out of our room and not talking to you earlier." Izuku said, his voice a little muffled because his face is till buried on the ash-blond's neck.
Fuck's sake— what did Katsuki do to deserve this kindest, sweetest angel?
"Shut up, that was a valid reaction. I don't care about 'communication' or some bullshit like that. No sane person would just stand there upon seeing their personal stuff broken, and decided their first course of action was to talk to the other person —the reason why their stuff was broken— without reacting or feeling anything. My point is it's okay, being mad and all. Of course you'd react like that, that broken item is important as hell and you treasured it a lot. So, shut up and don't ever apologise for your reactions again because reacting is absolutely fucking normal. You're human," Katsuki hands him the paper bags, pushing it to the other man as he mutters, "Here. I'm so sorry about breaking your figurine. I'll be extra careful next time when I'm near them."
Izuku gently lets go of him before looking down at the paper bags being handed to him and then up to Katsuki again with so much love in his expressive eyes it almost hurts— so good, always good because it's Izuku and Katsuki's a lucky motherfucker.
"Is it true that you bought me the last limited edition All Might figurine and your new set of merch?" His fiancé then asked with his big green eyes starting to water and lips wobbling while still staring at Katsuki.
Katsuki raised his eyebrows in surprise, "How'd you know that?"
"Ochako posted a screenshot of your message conversation earlier." Izuku answered immediately, eyes going back and forth on the paper bags and at Katsuki.
Katsuki clicked his tongue before looking away, it was supposed to be a surprise— goddamnit.
"Hm..."
The ash-blond hero is, once again, surprised when Izuku suddenly shouts in glee.
"Wah!" The green-haired man took the paper bags from his hands and then carefully placed it on the floor before hugging him for the nth time.
Izuku nuzzled his face on Katsuki's neck before kissing him there. "Thank you so much, Kacchan! I'm sorry and thank you! I love you so much, honey!"
Katsuki blushes slightly— fuck you, you did not read that, you're just hallucinating or you're dead— as he hugs Izuku back.
Katsuki grumbles, "Shut up. I told you, quit apologizing! I'm the one who did something stupid. You deserve that and a lot more, dork." before burying his own face on Izuku's soft, fluffy hair.
"Hn," Izuku keeps on kissing and nuzzling on his neck as he says, "I love you so much, Kacchan. Thank you."
"Yeah, yeah. I love you, too."
Katsuki's now watching Izuku happily rummaging through the paper bags, checking the things he bought for him with a big adorable grin on his stupid, nerdy, adorably handsome face.
Katsuki can't help himself, chuckling when Izuku squealed upon seeing the All Might figurine. The other's green eyes sparkling in awe with his mouth slightly agape. Inspecting the figurine carefully without getting it out of its box.
Katsuki opened his phone to take a picture of his adorable, dorky Izuku when he saw his Tw!tter notification at 99+.
What the fuck?
He frowns before opening the app because what? He's curious and slightly annoyed at the same time by the constant pinging coming from it— then he remembered what the nerd told him earlier.
Right.
Fucking Pink Cheeks posted their message conversation.
That extra...
Katsuki checked his mentions and sees Ochako's tweet and some other extras' replies on it.
What really caught Katsuki's attention while he's scrolling on the top replies was that one screenshot of Izuku's quoted retweet of Ochako's post. Katsuki, of course, quickly goes to Izuku's profile and checks the other's recent tweet, or quoted retweet, himself.
His ears suddenly feels hot.
Smiling to himself upon reading the caption over and over again, Katsuki exits the app to take a photo of his Izuku holding one of his merch.
Once done, he stared at the picture on his screen.
Izuku looks so happy while holding the item and staring at it in awe. Katsuki also captured the other figurines and merchandises carefully lined up on their bed, in front of Izuku.
The picture's really good— because of course it is. Izuku's the one in it.
And so, because Katsuki can, he opens his Tw!tter app again and he quote retweets Izuku's quoted retweet.
It's his first ever post in months.
Katsuki turned off his Tw!tter notification before turning off his phone after seeing his post was already posted and rapidly gaining numbers (what the fuck— are they waiting for that?), and then he turns his full attention back to his fiancé whose eyes are still sparkling with pure, genuine joy and lips stretch into a big, sweet smile.
And then Izuku turned to him, beautiful sweet Izuku who deserves the whole world, and says, "All of these are beautiful. I love it. Thank you again, Kacchan! I love you."
Seeing Izuku so happy like this, Katsuki can't help but to think about that one saying that states, 'A happy wife is a happy life'. Sure, they aren't married yet, but Katsuki couldn't agree more.
Ah...
A happy wife is truly a happy life.
