“you look pretty. gettin’ all dressed up for something?”
you meet katsuki’s eyes in the mirror. he stands in the doorway, leaned against the door frame with a smile on his face. your eyes drift and you realize he’s still wearing his costume. with furrowed brows, you turn to him and tilt your head. “katsuki,” you whine, throwing your hands into your lap. “you’re still in your gross hero stuff. we’re supposed to leave in twenty minutes! how are you meant to shower and do your hair and find an outfit and-“
he makes it to where you’re sitting in two and a half strides, his boots leaving mud tracks as he walks through the bedroom. he cuts you off with a chaste kiss, his gloves rough against your otherwise soft face. he leans back and smiles softly. “i’ll be quick, don’t worry. we’ll make it on time, baby.” when you pout, he laughs. “just wanted to see you for a sec. had a shitty day.”
your brows unfurl and you frown. “poor baby,” you coo, cupping his cheek, disregarding the ash smudged on his face. “do you want to talk about it? i can reschedule the dinner for a later reservation.”
“nah.” he shakes his head, but sighs and sits down on the edge of the bed. you bite your tongue, reminding yourself that you can just wash the sheets later rather than berate him about it now. “just a lot of running around. shittyhair got thrown into a fucking building.” he laughs and drags a hand down his face. “so much for a happy birthday right?”
“i told you you should’ve taken the day off,” you sigh out, raising your brows and turning back to the mirror.
“criminals don’t take days off.” it’s quiet, a stark contrast to his usual intensity. you look at him through the mirror and bite the inside of your cheek. he looks so . . . defeated.
“katsuki,” you mumble, turning back around with another frown. you stand and walk over to him, standing in between his legs. “we don’t have to go tonight. we can stay in and watch a movie. it’s your birthday, y’know. we can go out some other time.”
he looks up at you and sighs. you take this time to look at him—really look at him. his boyish features from high school are long gone; chubby cheeks replaced by a sharp jawline, eyebags replaced by crows feet, the same freckles scattered across his cheeks.
he wraps his arms around you in a hug and presses his face into your stomach. you don’t mention how he bought you this dress and how the ash is most definitely going to stain it.
“you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me,” he mumbles into the fabric, pressing into you harder. you feel your expression soften and you put your arms around his shoulders, squeezing three times—a special way to say i love you. “i don’t know what i would be without you.”
“you’d still be an amazing pro,” you say softly. “maybe a little lost—a little skinny, too.” he laughs and you smile. “but still an amazing, hardworking, kind, determined, helpful, loving pro-hero.”
he hums and for a long moment—maybe five minutes—you two stay like that, silent. the only noise is the AC running through the vents, and the washing machine. eventually, he leans back, keeping his hands on your hips.
“i love you.” he doesn’t say it often, choosing to express it in other ways, but when he does, it’s the best part of your day.
you lean down to press your lips against his, soft and full of meaning. “i love you too, kats. more than you will ever know.”

The bazaars of Afrasiab were unlike any other, and they dimmed in comparison to what the mind could imagine. All of the land in Persia held its animosity, a secret that can only be revealed by sight, but the bazaars there were something no tongue could describe and no ear to relay correctly.
They smelled of lamb and beef kabobs, cooked to perfection, began wafting around the carts of fabrics early in the morning. The mountains of spices were perfectly balanced in their own little plates, laying undisrupted until they caught the eye of curious passersby.
Many streets carried deep underground, for when the bazaar needed continuing and couldn’t be held entirely on top, and the hidden passages held wonders unknown to man.
Unfortunately, however, for somebody seeing these bustling markets for the first time, they tended to be confusing to figure out at the least, and nearly impossible to navigate most of the time.
The young woman who traveled closely with his cloak perched over her head tried to wind through the serpentine stalls, keeping his chin close to her chest as she only watched through the corners of her eyes, careful not to bring attention to herself nor the satchel in her hand. It was all so new to her, every sight she was intaking a far cry from what she was accustomed to seeing. The faint cries of the salesman trying to sell his silver tableware or the santur being played somewhere distant was an overload to somebody who was used to the strange serenity the palace offered.
Everything was a sight to behold. She never came to buy something, only to see. She liked the way this place almost had its own separate language, how it awoke at dawn and never seemed to sleep. She loved how the shopkeepers, always respectful of one another in their boundaries, tried their best to outdo one another in favor of better business.
The way someone shouted to gain the attention of somebody, the way they laced their words with enough enthusiasm to keep the shoppers interested was something she never grew tired of. In comparison to the bleak life that was awaiting her when she got back, these little bits of excitement were enough enrichment to keep her going for a little bit longer.
She took it all in, enjoying the opportunity as she doubted it’d be trusted upon her again, and smiled to herself at the mosaics that lined the curved walls, the dim light the candles offered helped her navigate through the underground bazaar. She looked through all the silverware, the plates painted with utmost care.
She looked through and let her fingers graze above the satin fabrics all dyed a different color. The smells of turmeric and saffron flooded her nose, mixing with the occasional whiff of rose, and she felt as though all these things at once were too compelling alone for a human mind.
No stories nor descriptions could have prepared her for what she was going to experience. It was magical, something surely out of a book. Despite that, however, every minute she spent trying to enjoy the sights was another minute that clicked in her mind mentally.
“Oi,” A gruff voice snapped, jolting her rudely out of her ongoing daydream, “Watch it.”

Hi Neema! Can I request please, Katsuki being his usual brash rude and loud self around others, but behind closed doors he becomes Luke a puppy around reader when the have sex and she treats him very sweetly and praises him a lot and he just melts around her. I have a feel in because of his family dynamic he didn’t get much earnest praise and folds like a chair for it.
Melt for Me
You barely have time to take your boots off before Bakugo starts barking.
“Dumbass, you’re gonna get yourself killed if you keep throwing yourself into fights like that,” he growls, running a hand through his sweat-damp hair. The front door slams behind him, his heavy boots thudding against the floor as he tosses his gauntlets onto the couch. “What the hell were you thinking?”
You sigh, already used to his dramatics. “I had it under control.”
“Like hell you did,” he snaps, stepping in front of you, his crimson eyes burning with frustration. “If I wasn’t there, you would’ve been fucking toast! You don’t have to do everything by yourself, dumbass!”
You roll your eyes, shutting the door behind you. “Oh, so I’m a dumbass now?”
“You’ve always been a dumbass!”
He’s so loud, so worked up, pacing the small space between the couch and the kitchen like he’s too wound up to stay still. His hands clench and unclench, the lingering adrenaline from the mission still pumping through his veins.
You cross your arms, leaning against the doorframe, watching him huff and mutter under his breath. He’s always like this after a tough fight—angry, fuming, spitting insults like a feral animal. He keeps his walls up high, tough and unbreakable, never letting anyone see past the rough exterior.
Except for you.
You push off the doorframe and step into his space, placing your palm flat against his chest.
“Katsuki.”
His whole body tenses.
Your voice is gentle, nothing like the sharp edge of his. It’s enough to make his breath hitch, his anger stuttering mid-sentence. He looks down at you, his jaw still tight, but his eyes flicker with something softer.
You smile. “You worried about me?”
His lips part slightly, like he wants to snap back, but he doesn’t. His hands twitch at his sides, itching to grab you, to pull you in, but he hesitates.
“Tch.” He turns his head, a faint pink dusting his cheeks. “Shut up.”
You giggle, sliding your hands up to cup his face. His breath catches in his throat. You can feel the heat radiating off him, the way his muscles stay tense under your touch.
“You did really well today,” you murmur, your thumbs brushing over his cheekbones.
His hands tighten into fists. His mouth opens, then closes again, his brows knitting together.
“Katsuki,” you continue, “you protected everyone.” You press a soft kiss to his jaw. “You kept me safe.” Another kiss. “You’re so strong.” Another. “So amazing.”
His breath shudders out of him, his body deflating just a little. He grips your hips, but it’s not possessive or rough—it’s almost hesitant, like he’s afraid you’ll pull away.
“You really think so?” His voice is quiet now, hesitant in a way that’s so unlike him.
You pull back just enough to look into his eyes. “I know so.”
And just like that, he folds.
The mighty, loud, brash Bakugo Katsuki is gone, replaced by the man who melts at the sound of your voice, the warmth of your touch. His forehead drops to your shoulder, arms wrapping around your waist as if shielding himself from the world.
“I—” His breath is warm against your skin. “Fuck, baby.”
You guide him toward the bedroom, fingers threading through his hair, scratching lightly at his scalp. He shivers. By the time you reach the bed, the fight in him has completely drained away.
He sits at the edge, looking up at you with half-lidded eyes, his hands gripping your waist like you’re the only thing keeping him grounded. You straddle his lap, and his breath hitches, his fingers pressing into your sides.
“You like it when I praise you, don’t you, Katsuki?”
His Adam’s apple bobs as he swallows hard. He nods slightly, but it’s not enough.
“Use your words.”
His grip tightens. “Y-yeah,” he admits, voice barely above a whisper. “I—fuck, I love it.”
You smile, pressing another soft kiss to his lips. He chases after you, desperate for more, hands roaming up your back like he needs to feel every inch of you.
“Good boy.”
The sound he makes is downright sinful. A shaky exhale leaves his lips as he buries his face in your neck, pressing open-mouthed kisses against your skin.
You giggle, fingers sliding into his hair, tugging lightly. He groans, hips jerking up involuntarily.
“So desperate,” you tease, scratching lightly at his scalp. “Such a needy thing, aren’t you?”
His nails dig into your waist. “Shut up,” he mumbles against your skin, but there’s no bite behind it. If anything, he sounds wrecked.
“Why should I? I like watching you fall apart like this.” You tilt his chin up, forcing him to look at you. His pupils are blown wide, his breath coming in short, shallow pants. “You’re so beautiful like this, Katsuki.”
His face burns, and he looks like he wants to protest, but you don’t give him the chance. You press your lips to his again, swallowing any argument he might’ve had.
His hands wander up your back, trembling slightly, and you can’t help but feel your heart ache for him. He’s always been so strong, so independent. But here, in your arms, he’s something else entirely.
He’s yours.
And you’ll make sure he knows it.

Bakugo x Fem!Reader + Daughter Chaos + Newborn Baby
Genre: Humor, Family, Fluff
Warning: Embarrassment levels are HIGH
---
You had just settled into the rocking chair, your newborn daughter latched onto your boob like it owed her money.
It was peaceful. Quiet. Almost too quiet.
Cue your four-year-old, stomping into the room like she owned the place, holding a suspiciously empty juice box.
“MOMMY!” she gasped. “IS SHE EATING YOU?!”
You blinked. “What?”
She pointed, eyes wide in betrayal. “THE BABY! SHE’S EATING YOUR BOOB!”
Bakugo, walking past with a burp cloth, froze in place like a dead NPC.
“She’s not eating me, honey,” you tried to say calmly, even though your soul had left your body from secondhand embarrassment. “It’s called breastfeeding.”
Your daughter blinked. “Like...with milk?!”
You nodded. “Yes. Mommies make milk for babies. It’s how they eat before they can have real food.”
She stared. Then stared harder.
“So you're a cow now?”
Bakugo wheezed from behind the couch.
You glared at him. “Do not laugh. I swear to God.”
He coughed into his fist. “Nope. Not laughing. Totally serious.”
Your daughter looked suspicious. “So when I was a baby, I drank from your boobs too?”
You nodded.
She screamed like she was in a horror movie.
“WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME THIS?! I THOUGHT I JUST ATE APPLESAUCE!”
Bakugo was crying now. Fully crying.
“I’m never drinking milk again,” your daughter declared. “Ever. Never ever.”
“Good,” Bakugo said. “More for the baby.”
She turned to him, dramatic as ever. “Daddy, are your boobs full of milk too?”
You both stared.
Bakugo went redder than his hero costume. “No. No, they are not. And never will be.”
“But you got big ones,” she said, poking his chest.
You immediately whispered, “Rip, bro.”
Bakugo looked like he needed a support group.
---
Later that night…
Bakugo was laying face-down on the couch. “She called me a milk tank.”
“She’s just confused,” you said, cradling your newborn.
“She moo’d at me.”
“She’s four.”
He sat up. “I’m buying a book. No. A chart. A PowerPoint. I’m explaining everything before she thinks I lay eggs next.”
You snorted. “Go ahead. She still thinks babies come out of bellybuttons.”
He froze. “...I need a beer.”
“do you think we’re soulmates?”
“i don’t believe in that shit.” katsuki’s hand tangles in your messy hair sprawled against the pillow he fought you over and ultimately gave to you with a small roll of his eyes.
you huff against his chest, frowning at his words. “you don’t think we were meant to be?”
“hell no.” he grins almost a little mockingly
“why not..?” you mutter, thankful your face is out of his sight because your disappointed expression is really quite laughable.
it’s silent for a long moment, and in the dark room, you assume he fell asleep. you sigh, cautiously readjusting your position to be more comfortable as you shut your eyes, ready to sleep.
that is until his hand drops from your hair onto your arm, rubbing small circles. “i don’t think i’m meant to be with anyone.” he whispers, staring up at his ceiling, still covered in glow in the dark stars from when he was a kid. “i think i just got lucky.”
you keep your eyes closed, half asleep as you respond immediately, “well, i don’t believe in luck. everything happens for a reason, suki.”
“that’s your prerogative, i guess.” he hums, his motions slowing down against your arm, resting there lazily.
“mm,” you wrap your arms around his torso, your cheek smushing against his chest.
another long moment passes, and katsuki’s still staring at the ceiling, lost in thought.
“you asleep?” he murmurs, careful not to wake you if you are.
“no, baby.”
he nods to himself, leaning down to plant a kiss on your head. “okay. i love you. thank you.” he whispers before resting back on his bed and shutting his eyes.
“thank you for what?” you reply, smiling softly at his affection.
he shrugs lightly before sleep takes over him, his arms engulfed around you without another word.
