How To Fall Out Of Love With Your Best Friend: A Ten-Step Guide by delightfulduplicity
Katsuki couldn’t love Izuku. He didn’t deserve to.
So he did what he did best, and he made a plan.
A ten-step plan to fall out of love with his best friend, to be exact.
TAPE IT | Bakugo Katsuki
synopsis:The night before Bakugo Katsuki ships out on another high-risk overseas mission, he doesn’t waste time with promises—he makes a memory instead. One raw, unforgettable moment laced with lust, love, and the ache of impending absence.
With only hours left together, he takes his time, worshipping you with hands and mouth, making you hold the camera so he can take a piece of you with him.
content: smut.
He’s leaving tomorrow.
Another mission overseas. Long, high-risk, and buried under a pile of top-secret files. He didn’t tell you much—just enough for the silence between you to grow heavier, thicker. Just enough for the air to carry that sharp ache of goodbye.
It’ll be weeks before you feel the weight of him in your bed again. Weeks before you can breathe in the scent of smoke, cedarwood, and sweat clinging to his skin. Weeks before you hear the low rasp of his voice murmuring your name like a prayer as dawn starts to break.
So tonight, katsuki's making a memory. His way.
You should be tangled up in sheets, limbs entwined, whispering lazy nothings in the dark. But instead, he’s on his knees in front of you, kneeling between your thighs on the couch, like you’re something sacred. Like this is a ritual. And maybe it is.
He looks up at you like he’s memorizing the sight—like he doesn’t know when he’ll get to see you unravel like this again. His hands are firm on your thighs, thumbs tracing circles into your skin with reverent, almost desperate care.
“You’re gonna hold the camera, baby,” he says, voice thick and slow, like honey warmed over a flame. He presses your phone into your trembling palm, already recording, already flipped to show your own flushed, breathless face.
“I want it clear. I want it steady,” he adds, and there’s a tremor in his voice he’s trying to hide. One that tells you this means more than he’s saying.
You blink down at him, heart thudding in your chest. “Katsuki…”
He cuts you off with a soft smile—lazy, confident, but with eyes that shimmer like they’re drinking you in for the last time. “Don’t go all shy on me now,” he murmurs, brushing his nose against your thigh. “Not when I’m about to ruin you so fuckin’ sweet.”
Your breath catches, thighs twitching around him, and his smile stretches wider. That dangerous grin—the one that says he’s got you exactly where he wants you.
“There she goes,” he whispers.
And then he leans in.
His tongue slides over you, slow and unhurried, a soft tease that makes your entire body tense and melt all at once. He’s not rushing—no, never. He’s savoring. Worshipping. Learning the shape of your pleasure with every stroke of his mouth like he’s afraid he’ll forget it.
“Don’t drop it,” he murmurs against you, the vibration of his voice sending shocks down your spine. “You’re doin’ perfect, baby. Just like that. Let me see you come apart.”
You whimper, hips rolling softly, and the phone jolts slightly. His grip on your thighs tightens, grounding you, commanding you.
“Careful,” he breathes, licking up the slick mess he’s made like it’s his lifeline. “Told you I need this steady. I’m gonna be halfway across the world, starin’ at this screen every damn night. Gonna be strokin’ it slow, listenin’ to those pretty little moans of yours, imaginin’ it’s my mouth on you all over again.”
The confession makes your stomach warm, heat blooming in your face raw and intimate. A tether stretching across oceans.
“Eyes on the screen,” he whispers, lips brushing your most sensitive spot with every word. “Wanna see what I do to you. Wanna see how fuckin’ gorgeous you look when you fall apart for me.”
Your grip tightens around the phone, knuckles white, as your thighs tremble slightly. His mouth is relentless now—tongue circling, lips sucking, pressure building like a storm. Every flick, every breath, every hum of pleasure from his throat sends another wave crashing through you.
And he doesn’t stop. Doesn’t pause.
Not when your back arches off the couch. Not when your moans spill out like confessions. "Fuck Katsuki" Not when your body begged for mercy, curling in on itself you thigh closing in on him. But you should know better.
His hands hold you wide open, possessive and unyielding.
“God, you’re perfect,” he mutters against you, voice thick with emotion. “How the fuck am I supposed to leave this behind?”
You’re already falling, already lost—when his voice breaks the edge with a breathless, reverent sigh.
“There it is,” he whispers, smiling against your skin like he’s found heaven. “Feeling good baby?”
If anything, he gets hungrier.
His tongue drags through your slick with slow, deliberate reverence—like he’s carving the memory of your taste into the back of his throat. Like if he lingers long enough, if he swallows enough of you, it’ll carry him through the weeks of distance ahead.
And then—sharp.
You gasp, hips jolting when he sinks his teeth into the soft swell of your thigh. Not hard enough to hurt. Just enough to make your breath catch and your fingers tighten around the phone.
“Katsuki—!” you hand fly to hair, voice half-shock, half-plea, the sting blooming into something electric.
He chuckles low, tongue soothing over the mark he’s left before he does it again, a little higher this time. Another nip. Another burn of his teeth, followed by the warm balm of his mouth. He paints your skin with purple hues, teeth and tongue and lips all working in tandem like a man crafting a masterpiece.
“Gotta take a piece of you with me,” he mutters against your thigh, voice thick with longing. “Even if it’s just this—these marks. Proof I was here.”
You’re panting now, trembling with every brush of his tongue, the heat between your thighs unbearable.
And then—
Oh god. He zeroes in. Mouth sealing around your clit with devastating precision, tongue flicking with practiced pressure, and your vision blurs.
Your head falls back against the couch, mouth dropping open in a soundless moan—but he groans into you, low and commanding.
“Eyes on me.”
You drag your gaze down, barely coherent—but the moment your eyes lock with his, it’s like the world narrows to nothing but the fire between your legs and the storm in his stare.
His gaze doesn’t waver. Doesn’t falter. It holds you captive—hot and fierce and gone. There’s nothing soft in it now. Just hunger. Worship. Desperation.
He sucks—harder, deeper—tongue curling, lips tightening—and your thighs clamp around his head on instinct. He doesn’t fight it. Doesn’t even flinch.
His fingers dig into your hips like anchors, grounding you while his mouth pulls you under.
And he never breaks eye contact.
You’re unraveling right there in front of him—shaking, gasping, eyes wide and glossy, phone trembling in your grip. Your body bows like it’s offering itself to him, chasing the edge with no hope of slowing down.
“You feel that?” he rasps between strokes, mouth slick and voice dark with need. “How perfect you taste? How fuckin’ lucky I am?”
You whimper—wrecked.
“Fuck, baby. Gimme all of it,” he groans, lips wrapping tight around your clit as he sucks again, harder this time. “I want you dripping down my throat when I go.”
Your stomach coils, everything inside you knotting so tight it feels like your bones might snap—and still, his eyes are locked to yours, dragging you over the edge with nothing but sheer will.
You come undone with a cry—loud and broken—and his mouth doesn’t stop. He carries you through it, tongue easing you down, slow and sweet, while his hands stroke up and down your sides, grounding you as your whole body trembles.
Your phone is barely still in your hand, the screen catching everything—your ruined moans, your soaked thighs, and the way Katsuki Bakugo worships you like you’re something holy.
And through it all, he’s watching you. Just watching.
Like you’re the only thing in the world he never wants to forget.
Your breath is ragged, chest rising and falling like waves crashing against the shore, and your grip on the phone is barely there—shaking, slipping.
He notices.
Of course he does.
Wordlessly, Katsuki reaches up and takes it from your hand, his touch gentle, thumb brushing your knuckles before he sets it aside. Somewhere safe. Somewhere it’ll keep every second of what he just gave you.
Then his eyes return to yours—soft now, but burning still. Like he’s letting you see everything he never says.
Without a word, he leans up, muscles flexing as he shifts your body with ease, guiding you into his lap like you belong there. Because you do.
Straddling him, your legs wrapped around his hips, your skin still flushed and damp, you can feel just how much he’s been holding back—hard and aching beneath you, breath hitching the moment your heat presses against him.
But he doesn’t rush.
His hands settle on your waist, grounding you, worshipping you with the slow glide of his palms up your back. He leans in and kisses your shoulder—soft, barely there, like he’s afraid he’ll break the moment if he moves too fast.
Another kiss, higher now. Then one just under your jaw, lips lingering like he’s pressing pieces of himself into your skin to stay behind.
And then—
He slips inside.
Slow. Deep. Home.
Your breath catches in your throat, and your hands fly to his shoulders, nails digging in as he fills you, the stretch so perfect it’s almost overwhelming.
A soft moan spills from your lips—half his name, half a cry—and he groans low in your ear, head dropping to your neck as he holds you there, body trembling with restraint.
“Fuck,” he breathes, voice rough and raw. “I needed this. Needed you.”
You cling to him, burying your face in his hair, your lips against his temple. He moves slowly at first—hips rolling, grinding deeper than thrusting, like he’s savoring the way you mold around him. Like he’s memorizing every squeeze, every twitch, every desperate little sound you make.
Every inch of him is pressed to you—his chest against yours, his arms holding you like he never wants to let go.
“You feel that?” he whispers against your neck. “That’s me, baby. All of me. Gonna fuck you slow, so you remember me every time you close your eyes.”
You whimper his name, nails raking down his back, and he groans like it’s the only sound that matters in the world.
His lips find your shoulder again, kissing you through the burn, through the pleasure, through the ache of what’s coming tomorrow.
And with every breathless roll of his hips, every kiss, every whispered word—you know.
The moment he bottoms out, your body folds—curling into him, muscles seizing up around him with a whimper so soft it barely leaves your lips.
But he feels it.
Feels everything.
You’re clutching at his shoulders like they’re the only thing keeping you tethered to earth, face buried in his neck, mouth open and panting against his skin. He’s so deep you swear you can taste it, and the sigh he lets out against your throat sends a shiver straight through your spine.
“Fuck, baby,” he groans, turning his head just enough to press his lips against the curve of your neck. He kisses you there, open-mouthed and reverent, then bites—gently—just to hear the noise you make.
You’re babbling in his ear now, too gone to form full thoughts, too full to think straight.
“So good—Katsuki, fuck, it’s s’good—don’t stop, don’t ever—feels so full, I—”
Your hips twitch without thinking, starting to grind in slow, desperate circles against him. The slide of your slick, the stretch, the obscene sound of it—it all makes his head spin.
But then his palm cracks against your ass, sharp and sudden.
You yelp—a high, breathy noise—and he smooths his hand over the sting, soothing the spot he struck before doing it again, this one heavier, more possessive.
“Easy,” he growls, lips ghosting your ear now, breath hot and ragged. “You tryin’ to make me lose already?”
You can’t answer. Not really. You just moan, hips still grinding, needy and uncoordinated, chasing more of him, chasing everything.
He slaps you again, a low groan tearing from his throat at the bounce of your ass against his lap.
“Fuck, listen to that,” he growls, his voice pure gravel and heat now. “Hear how wet you are? That’s my pussy, makin’ all that pretty noise for me.”
You whimper his name, nails dragging down his back, and he doesn’t wait this time—his hands gripping your hips, dragging you back and down as he starts to thrust.
Slow, deep, each one deliberate—like he’s staking a claim he already owns.
“You’re perfect,” he pants, watching your face twist as he hits that spot that makes your toes curl. “Feel so good wrapped around me, baby. So warm, so tight—fuck, I could die right here.”
Your whole body’s trembling now, your moans mixing with the slick slap of your bodies meeting, the room thick with sweat, breath, and the kind of love that’s too big to say out loud.
He buries his face in your neck again, voice lower now, a broken whisper:
“Gotta make it count. Gotta give you everything—leave you aching for me.”
And you are. Already. A mess in his lap, your walls fluttering around him, hips rolling to match his pace, your tears hot on your cheeks even though you're moaning through the haze.
He watches you fall apart on top of him, lips parted, tears clinging to your lashes, your body grinding like you’re chasing something you can’t name. And maybe you are. Maybe you both are.
Because something cracks in him.
Maybe it’s the way your slick clings to him, or the way your ass bounces against his thighs with every roll of your hips, so soft, so perfect. Maybe it’s the broken sound of his name tumbling from your mouth again and again like a prayer.
But suddenly he’s not holding back anymore.
“Fuck, baby,” he groans, hips snapping up with a growl. “This ass—fuck. Feels too fuckin’ good. Can’t take it slow no more.”
And then he’s moving—fast, hard, dragging you down as he thrusts up into you with punishing precision, hitting so deep you cry out. The couch shifts beneath you both, the sound of skin slapping echoing through the room like a drumbeat.
He wraps his arms around you—a full-body bear hug—one hand splayed between your shoulder blades, the other cradling the back of your head like you’re something fragile even as he ruins you.
You’re gasping, voice caught in your throat as he drills into you, every thrust stealing the air from your lungs, and all you can do is take it.
“Katsuki—Katsuki, I—fuck, I can’t—”
Your voice is barely there, a soft, shaking whisper right in his ear as you cling to him, shivering in his arms like your body can’t take another second but also never wants to let go.
He holds you tighter, breath ragged, sweat slick between your bodies, and moans low in your ear, voice cracking with it.
“Yes you can, baby. You’re takin’ me so fuckin’ good. Just a little more. C’mon, just—fuck—just like that—”
Your hand flutters against his back, trying to grab at something, anything, even as your trembling fingers tap twice—soft, instinctive—against his spine.
Tap out.
And he knows.
His thrusts slow instantly, but his hold never loosens—just rocks you through the aftershocks as you melt in his lap, spent, clinging to him like you’ll drown if you let go.
He presses a kiss to your temple, then another to your cheek. One more to the spot just under your ear where your pulse still flutters fast and wild.
“Got you,” he whispers, his voice hoarse but warm. “I’ve got you, baby.”
You’re trembling in his arms, body spent and sensitive, but he’s still there—still inside you, still moving, his hips rolling deep, desperate for his own high.
“Fuck, baby,” he pants into your neck, voice frayed and trembling. “I’m close—I’m so fuckin’ close.”
Your walls flutter around him again—tight, soaked, aching—and he groans, deep in his chest, like the sound is being pulled from his soul.
“Can feel you,” he gasps. “Still fuckin’ squeezin’ me. Shit—you’re gonna make me—”
You shiver again, your body helpless in his hold, and then—then—your breath catches.
It hits like lightning.
Your climax crashes over you in sharp, rolling waves, your entire body curling tight against him with a cry that’s half his name, half a sob. Your nails dig into his shoulders, legs shaking, your slick gushing around him as your pussy clamps down—tight and rhythmic, like you’re trying to keep him.
“Katsuki—”
He loses it.
His arms lock around you, crushing you to his chest as he thrusts once, twice—then groans, low and broken and so damn full of you—and spills inside you with a shudder.
Thick warmth pulses deep, his whole body tensing as he rides it out, his face buried in your neck, gasping into your skin like you’re the only thing anchoring him to this world.
He doesn’t stop holding you.
Even as the tremors fade, even as his breath starts to slow, he keeps you close—his cock still nestled deep inside, your bodies flush and sticky and shaking, hearts beating hard against each other.
He kisses your neck, soft this time. Reverent.
hihihi!

“hey kats.” you smile, seeing your boyfriend walk into the common room.
“shhhhhh.” he groans, agitated.
“hey?-” you frown.
“yeah yeah i love you, whatever. have a fucking headache.” he grumbles, crawling over you on the couch to lay his head on your chest, nuzzling into your soft shirt.
you smile, raking your fingers through his hair in attempt to soothe his headache.
“how come?” you say softly.
he stays quiet, unable to pinpoint what exactly caused this nuisance.
“..denki.” he says plainly with a deep frown on his face.
you laugh, pressing a kiss to his forehead.
“you can’t just blame denki for all your inconveniences.” you say giggling.
he looks up at you with a pout and you peck his lips.
“yeah i can. he’s stupid.” he replies grumbling.
you squish his face in your hands and he sighs, eyes closing.
“that feels nice.” he mumbles, words distorted from his squashed lips.
“what?” you laugh, moving to release his face.
“hey. i said it feels nice. stay.” he grumbles, eyes closed.
you place your hands back on his face and he sighs, the pressure releasing the tension on his temples.
you place kisses all over his face, his squished cheeks, his pouted lips, his pretty lashes.
“can i just get you an advil? we can nap in my dorm?” you offer with a grin.
his eyes open slowly, annoyed with the harsh lights of the common room.
“are you gonna play with my hair?”
****************************************************
“i knew it!!” mina whisper shouts.
she feels a pinch to her arm.
“you didn’t know anything!” sero whisper shouts back.
“okay fine whatever, i didn’t. but this is INSANE.” mina yelps, eyes wide as saucers.
“i can’t believe he blamed me for his headache!” denki pouts.
kirishima rolls his eyes at his friend.
“why are you so quiet?” mina frowns, jabbing her finger in kirishimas chest.
kirishima freezes, attempting to stay cool.
“i just… wanna respect their privacy.” he defends.
mina grabs hold of sero and denkis shirts, tugging them close to her.
“he KNEW!!” she says, filled with anger.
she jumps up and down while shaking sero and denki furiously.
“dude! are you serious?!” denki asks.
kirishima crosses his arms over his chest.
“well… bakugou might’ve said a little something.” he smiles sheepishly.
“UGH. i hate you so much right now!”
the pair continues to argue as you and katsuki obliviously move around in the kitchen.
“they’re going to hear you, dipshits.” sero states plainly, already bored of this newfound information.
mina pouts, crossing her arms over her chest and kirishima goes silent.
“i want to get a closer look, see how fast they switch up when someone’s close.” denki smiles devilishly.
the three watch him go, wait till he’s out of earshot and then start dying of laughter.
“he is not smooth enough to pull that off.” sero grins.
“he’s going to get his ass kicked.”
****************************************************
katsuki watches boredly while you rustle through the medicine cabinet.
he groans, resting his forehead on the cool tile of the kitchen island.
“i know.. ‘m sorry kats. i can’t find the advil.” you frown, moving denkis flintstone gummy vitamins.
“i don’t need it, just need to sleep. come on.” he sighs, fisting at your shirt.
“hey guys! what’s going on here?” denki cheers as katsuki tears his hand off of you.
“hey denki.” you murmur, continuing to move throughout the shelf.
“do you know where the advil is?” you sigh, turning to denki.
denki frowns, upset at the lack of drama in this room.
“no idea… why do you need it?” he questions.
“bak- i… have a headache..” you murmur slowly, catching your almost mistake.
denkis brows pull together, glancing at bakugou still hunched over with his forehead on the counter.
“what’s wrong with you then?” denki asks with a smirk.
“shut the fuck up before i knock your lights out.” katsuki seethes, remaining in his weakened position.
you giggle as denkis eyes widen.
“wow kami, he means business.” you say grinning.
kaminari’s ears turn bright red from embarrassment, frustration bubbling up in his veins.
“oh shit denki… don’t say it.” mina mutters and kiri and sero understand exactly what she means.
the three of them watch as kami’s hands ball into fists and his brows pull together.
“temper tantrum.” sero sighs.
“yeah?! well i know you two are going at it!” denki screams at bakugou.
“kats-”
katsuki lunges forward, gripping denki by the front of his shirt.
“well shit. come on.” kiri says quickly, hitting sero.
you watch as katsuki’s arms are restrained by kirishima and sero wraps his arms around denkis middle, the two pulling them apart.
“we’re sorry!” kirishima groans from behind your boyfriend.
“it’s fine.” you mutter, knowing katsuki’s only mad because of his headache.
“it’s not fine! get off of me shit stain!” katsuki screams.
kirishima looks to you for reassurance. you nod, and kirishima releases him.
katsuki lunges forward once again and you grab him by the ear.
“ah ah ah.” katsuki halts while groaning in pain.
you sigh, giving straight mouthed looks to your friends.
“upstairs.” you say forcefully to katsuki, pinching his ear hard then releasing.
he groans, giving a look to denki before turning on his heel and stomping up the stairs.
“we’re sorry-”
“-we didn’t mean to-”
you hold your hands up in front of their faces, effectively silencing them.
“night.” you mutter, trudging up the stairs behind your boyfriend.
****************************************************
as soon as you are out of earshot the four of them erupt.
“DID YOU SEE HOW HE LISTENED TO HER?!”
“HES DOWN BADDDD!!”
****************************************************
“fucking denki.” katsuki groans.
“yeah yeah just get in bed you big baby.” you giggle softly and katsuki glares at you.
he climbs in bed, reaching his hand out to pull you in by your shirt.
“im coming relax.” you laugh.
he frowns deeply, folding his arms over his chest.
you smile, climbing into bed beside him.
staring into his eyes, you search for answers in his tired gaze.
“how’s your head?” you whisper, leaning forward and brushing his bangs back to reveal his cute forehead.
he frowns and lets a groan slip from his lips.
“they just had to pick today to find out, huh?” he mumbles, grabbing your hand.
you giggle softly, leaning your head against his shoulder.
“right, cause any other day you’d be soooo understanding?” you smirk up at him.
he scoffs, pushing your face away with his big hand.
“just wanted you all to myself…” he says under his breath, as if he didn’t even want you to hear him.
you feel your heart melt, shifting close to his face.
his breath hitches subtly as you turn your face to press open mouth kisses down his jaw.
he reaches for your thigh, pulling your leg over his hips.
you continue to kiss at his neck and jaw, placing a kiss to his adams’ apple as it bobs in his throat.
“you have me, okay?” you murmur against his skin.
he nods, arms wrapping around you in a bear hug.
“right.” you giggle.
“forgot its past your bedtime.”
Can you pls do an “asking my gf awkward questions” with Bakugo abt periods or any girls’ struggles? Ofc everything is jst pure innocence & genuine curiosity 🤍

⤿ bakugou asking yn awkward questions.
It started with a TikTok trend.
Mina had dared Bakugou to try the “asking my girlfriend awkward questions” challenge. Of course, he scoffed and said, “That’s stupid.” But then he saw the look in your eyes, teasing, expectant, daring him back and well… maybe it wasn’t such a dumb idea.
So here you were, cuddled on the couch, phone recording as Bakugou awkwardly cleared his throat.
“Alright, I got questions,” he muttered, glaring at the phone like it personally offended him.
You giggled. “Fire away, Katsuki.”
“…So, uh. Period cramps. They actually hurt like that?”
You blinked. “Yeah. Imagine your insides trying to kill you once a month.”
His eyes widened. “What the f—seriously?!”
You laughed, watching him furrow his brows like he was preparing for battle.
“That’s not even the worst part,” you added casually. “There’s bloating, mood swings, cravings…”
“Cravings I get,” he mumbled. “You ate two whole pints of ice cream last week and cried watching a cat video.”
You swatted his arm. “Don’t expose me!”
He smirked, then hesitated before asking the next one. “…Is it true you just, like, randomly bleed? Even in your sleep?”
You nodded. “Yeah. It’s like a horror movie, but less fun.”
Bakugou looked genuinely horrified. “And y’all just… deal with it?”
You shrugged. “Yeah. We kinda have to.”
There was a pause. Then he muttered under his breath, “You’re all tough as hell.”
You blinked. “What was that?”
“I said you’re badass, alright?” he snapped, cheeks just a little red. “Having to go through all that every month? Shit’s brutal.”
You grinned and leaned into him. “Aww, is that sympathy from the great Bakugou Katsuki?”
“Shut up,” he grumbled, wrapping an arm around you. “…But yeah. I didn’t know it was that bad. You ever need anything, just tell me, alright?”
You smiled, heart full. “Thanks, Katsuki. You’re the sweetest.”
He scoffed. “Don’t tell the others.”

Summary: When Ichijiku finds out she's expecting, she worries about how her boyfriend, Bakugo, will react to the news and how it will affect their hero journeys.
Content Warning: An "f" bomb is dropped and there is mild foreplay (but it doesn't get very far).
Ichijiku (Tigress)
Katsuki says life is like a live grenade. It’s ready at any moment to explode and see whether or not you’re worth your weight in nitroglycerine. Thus far his words ring true. Our lives have thrown us plenty of live grenades and tested the very sweat of our palms.
Like when a popular tabloid claimed I was cheating on him, or when I had a cancer scare a few weeks before our anniversary. For a time, it seemed as though we were living in a minefield, each of us skirting around problems and trying to minimize collateral damage as hardships stalked our every move.
Now? Now we’ve finally managed to find some semblance of balance. Katsuki works hard to be the best at his job as a pro hero, and I’m content being a homemaker and underground hero.
So when another grenade gets tossed at me in the form of two lines on a pregnancy test in our master bathroom, a thousand different worries trickle through my mind. We’re having a baby! What are we going to need? What if I mess something up? Will I be a good mother? What if the baby hates me? Excitement shoves some of these worries to the side and even brings a smile to my face as I spin around, thinking about how cute Katsuki will look holding our child.
And then I stop.
Kids have always been a possibility, but not a possibility Katsuki has proposed in conversation, yet. Though I’ve always hoped and planned to have children in my future with him, anxiety chokes me up when I pull out my phone and just stare at the screen.
My fingers hover over the keypad as my thoughts try to coax me into it. C’mon. No need to be scared. We may not have talked about it, so he’ll be a little surprised. But he can’t be angry when he’s not protecting his package from procreating. I exhale, and then decide against it as ugly voices from my past convince me he won’t be happy.
Not to mention, being a pro hero is a lot of work. How can I add something onto his already-full plate right now? Nausea turns in my stomach and distracts me until I’ve hurled my lunch in the toilet.
Despite my irrational fear that he’ll jump ship and leave me, I remind myself that we’ve been married for four years. While my frantic heartbeat dulls to a steady buzz, I brainstorm other, cuter ways to tell him. Perhaps a bottle of Prego? Too silly. Maybe a Father’s Day card? Not thoughtful enough.
Ideas swirl around in my head, but I’m no closer to an answer when I fall asleep on the couch.
. . . . .
Katsuki knows I’m hiding something as the weeks pass. I’m a little more shaky around him, a little more skittish. I can’t seem to find the right time to tell him the news.
But there’s no escaping him after a challenging day of hero work. He’s always more needy after a hard day. When he goes feral there’s no keeping my distance. We barely make it into my apartment when he’s got me flattened in his arms, sprinkling kisses anywhere his lips come into contact.
“Tonight, Tiger? You’re gonna beg for it, baby.” He grounds out in my ear, already pressing me against him with sparkling eyes.
“K-Katsuki, I need to tell you something first.” I breathe, knowing that I have to tell him now before he pulls off my clothes and figures out himself. I’m hardly showing at all, but the smallest of bumps is noticeable under my clothes.
And I know Katsuki. He’ll notice.
“It can wait. Damn, I’ve been waiting all day!” He shuffles us over to the couch where he starts kissing from my legs and working his way up my thighs. I use my knees to shuffle him up so I can grip his chin and make him look at me. “Hey!” He growls as he catches my expression and his eyes relax again. “What’s gotten into you today?”
The nerves return full swing as I think about how to say it. I feel like it needs to be special, like I have to remind him I’m worthy of him and his child. And there’s still that small chance in the back of my mind that he’ll leave. I don’t want you to leave me, Katsuki. I don’t know what I’ll do if you do… Have a little faith, Little One, he’s been loyal thus far.
“Did something happen?” He immediately starts making assumptions as his hands rub circles under my shirt. “Whoever it was I’ll…” Abruptly he stops, and I freeze.
I expect the shock on his face and it terrifies me. He raises up my shirt and I let him, being so quiet I can hear the throbbing beat of my heart. His thumb rubs over my stomach. Looking at it, there doesn’t seem to be much change, but feeling it…he looks up at me with recognition in his eyes.
And then the grenade explodes.
“Why the hell didn’t you tell me sooner?!”
“Don’t you yell at me, Katsuki Bakugo!” I growl, pulling my legs up to my chest and scooting away from him. Such a small emotion seems to flood me with an intense outburst. Tears wash my hands and the comforter. Katsuki seems so far away even though he’s right beside me. “I didn’t tell you because I knew that you’d get angry like this! I knew that you’d yell at me! I was trying to think of the perfect way to tell you…but I was scared you’d react like this!” My breathing elevates, my body starts shaking, and my voice raises a few octaves.
I don’t notice any of it. I don’t give Katsuki any time to respond. When he opens his mouth, my emotions skyrocket again.
“What did you want me to do, Katsuki?! I couldn’t tell you because I was scared that you’d tell me to get rid of it because it wasn’t planned. And I won’t!” I rake my hands through my hair, bearing my teeth at him.
The room is silent for a few moments. My veins boil with unnecessary rage that bleeds into cold panic when I worry my anger will cause him to turn his nose up at me.
“Are you crazy?!” He grits his teeth at me. “I’ve told you once, I’ll never take an action that ends someone’s life! You think I'd get rid of my own kid?!”
He’s so fast. Always has been. In the next moment, he’s got my arms pinned at my sides and my lips trapped in a hard kiss. When he pulls back, his eyes are softer but he still snarls.
“Stop talking nonsense. I’m not leaving you and we’re not getting rid of the baby.” He puts a hand at my neck, sending my pulse thrumming underneath him as I start piecing his response together. “Don’t you dare think I’d be too weak to take on the challenge of my own child. Do I look that pitiful to you?”
Relief rushes through me as I finally let out a choked sob and cup his face in my hands. Then I pull him close and bury my face in his neck, giving myself a moment to regulate, before I answer.
“No, Katsuki. You don’t.”

Reader, where she has a black magic quirk, and from a very early age she’s heard voices in her head. And they stop for a bit but she heard them agian and freaks out! So bakugo notices shes veeery quiet and asks her whats wrong and she spills the truth about her quirk and how if she over uses it she hears voices telling her to do bad things(NOTHING SERIOUS)
Bakugo and reader have a sorta friendship but with something going on between them? (Mutual pinning)
I HOPE THIS IS OK!!! I read ur rules and i hope this isnt violating them 🙏😭

𖤐 synopsis: your quirk makes you different from others..you hear voices that give you malicious thoughts. but, your “friend” bakugou katsuki helps you silence them and explore both of your unspoken feelings for each other.
𖤐 trigger warnings: references to intrusive thoughts, mild psychological distress.
𖤐 pairing: bakugou katsuki x fem!reader
𖤐 side note: - - > 2nd part of this story
the voices had been quiet for months. you'd almost forgotten what it was like to have that constant background noise—the whispers that came with your quirk. black magic, they called it. the ability to manipulate shadows and dark energy, bending them to your will. it was powerful, useful even, especially during hero training at u.a.
but the cost was something no one else could see.
use us… we can make you stronger…
the first whisper came during lunch period. you froze mid-bite, your chopsticks hovering over your bento box as the familiar, slithering voice wrapped around your mind.
let us in… just a little more power…
"shut up," you muttered under your breath, closing your eyes tightly.
"the hell did you just say to me?"
your eyes snapped open to find bakugou katsuki standing over your lunch table, his crimson eyes narrowed with suspicion. of course, he'd choose now to approach. the two of you had this… thing. not quite friends, definitely not enemies. training partners who somehow always ended up paired together. late night study sessions that lasted longer than necessary. hands that lingered a second too long when passing notes.
"not you," you said quickly, heat rising to your cheeks. "sorry, i was just—"
he'll think you're crazy if you tell him. everyone always does.
"just what?" bakugou dropped into the seat across from you, his lunch tray clattering against the table. "you've been acting weird all morning. more than usual."
you managed a weak smile. "didn't know you paid such close attention, explosion boy."
he scoffed, but you didn't miss the slight pink tinge on his ears. "hard not to notice when you're spacing out during combat training. you nearly got yourself blasted."
you had almost forgotten about that. earlier in the day, during all might's class, you'd hesitated just a moment too long when the voices first started whispering again. bakugou had pulled his punch at the last second, his explosion detonating harmlessly to your left instead of directly in your face.
he's waiting for an answer. lie. lie.
"i'm fine," you said automatically, the rehearsed response you'd been giving teachers and classmates for years whenever the voices got bad.
bakugou’s eyes narrowed further. "bullshit."
the cafeteria around you buzzed with activity, your classmates laughing and chatting, oblivious to your internal struggle. kirishima and the others had left bakugou alone for once, perhaps sensing he had other plans for lunch period.
he'll leave you too when he knows the truth.
"i said i'm fine," you insisted, pushing your food away. your appetite had vanished the moment the voices returned.
bakugou leaned forward, his voice dropping to a growl that somehow managed to be both threatening and concerned at the same time. "you think i don't notice when something's off with you? we've been training together for months. i know when you're lying."
you stared at him, taken aback by his perceptiveness. it was easy to dismiss bakugo as just an aggressive hothead, but you'd learned there was so much more beneath that explosive exterior. he noticed things. he paid attention.
tell him… see how quickly he runs…
the voice was getting louder, more insistent. you pressed your palms against your eyes, trying to block it out.
"hey." bakugou’s voice softened marginally—as much as bakugou katsuki could soften anything. "let's get out of here."
before you could protest, he had grabbed both your bags and was heading for the exit, clearly expecting you to follow. and despite everything, you did.
he led you to the rooftop, a quiet spot where few students ventured during lunch. the spring air was cool against your skin, helping to clear your head slightly.
"talk," he demanded, dropping his bag and leaning against the railing.
you hesitated, wrapping your arms around yourself. "it's my quirk."
"what about it?"
don't tell him don't tell him don't—
"the voices are back," you blurted out, the words tumbling from your lips before you could stop them. "when i use too much of my quirk, they… they start talking to me."
bakugou’s expression didn't change, but he watched you intently, waiting for you to continue.
"they've been quiet for a while," you explained, pacing now. "i thought maybe i'd gotten better at controlling it. but this morning, during training when i used that shadow field technique… they came back."
he thinks you're weak. broken. useless.
you shuddered, and bakugou took a step closer.
"what do they say?" he asked, his voice uncharacteristically careful.
you laughed bitterly. "oh, you know. the usual. use more power. do bad things. helpful stuff like that."
bakugou’s face darkened. "have you told anyone? recovery girl? aizawa?"
you shook your head. "my parents know. it's been happening since i was little. the doctors said it's a… side effect. the darkness my quirk controls, it's like it has a consciousness of its own. the more i tap into it, the more it tries to influence me."
he'll report you. they'll expel you. you'll never be a hero now.
"they're talking right now, aren't they?" bakugo asked suddenly.
you froze, surprised again by his insight. "how did you know?"
"your eyes do this thing," he said, gesturing vaguely toward your face. "they get all unfocused, like you're listening to something far away."
you'd never realized you had a tell. the fact that bakugo had noticed made something warm flutter in your chest, momentarily drowning out the malicious whispers.
"yeah," you admitted. "they're telling me you'll think i'm crazy. that i should have kept my mouth shut."
bakugou snorted. "if i thought you were crazy, i wouldn't waste my time training with you."
he's lying to make you feel better. he pities you.
"they're saying you're lying," you said softly.
without warning, bakugou closed the distance between you, his hands gripping your shoulders. the touch was firm but not painful—grounding.
"look at me," he demanded.
you raised your eyes to meet his fierce crimson gaze.
"do i ever say shit i don't mean? do i ever fucking lie to make people feel better?"
you couldn't help but smile slightly. "no. that's… actually one of the things i like about you."
something flashed across his face—surprise, maybe even pleasure—before he schooled his expression back to determination.
"then believe me when i say this. i don't give a damn about the voices. we all have shit to deal with. my quirk could blow my arms off if i'm not careful. half-and-half has his daddy issues. deku has… well, everything about him. your thing is voices. so what?"
he doesn't understand. no one can understand.
"it's not that simple," you argued. "they get worse when i use more power. and sometimes…" you hesitated, never having admitted this part to anyone before. "sometimes i want to listen."
instead of recoiling in horror as you expected, bakugou’s grip on your shoulders tightened reassuringly.
"of course you do," he said gruffly. "power is tempting. i know that better than anyone. remember the sports festival?"
you did. his rage, his refusal to accept a victory he didn't earn. the way he'd been chained to the podium, wild-eyed and furious.
"but you didn't give in," you pointed out.
"neither will you," he said with absolute certainty. "you're too stubborn."
despite everything, you laughed. "was that a compliment, bakugou?"
he released your shoulders, a hint of that familiar scowl returning. "don't get used to it."
he'll never understand you like we do.
the whisper was softer now, less convincing. you took a deep breath, focusing on bakugo's presence—solid and real in front of you.
"they're quieter when you're around," you admitted. "i don't know why."
a flash of something like pride crossed his face. "good. then i'll just have to stick around more."
your heart skipped a beat. "what are you saying?"
bakugou crossed his arms, looking somewhat uncomfortable with the turn in conversation. "i'm saying next time they start talking, come find me. i'll make enough noise to drown them out."
the offer was so perfectly, uniquely bakugo that it made you smile despite everything. this gruff, explosive boy who showed his care through actions rather than words.
"are you sure?" you asked. "it could happen anytime. middle of the night. during class."
he shrugged. "so? not like i sleep much anyway."
he'll get tired of you. they all do.
"the voices say you'll get tired of helping me," you said quietly.
bakugou stepped forward again, and this time when his hand reached for you, it was to brush a strand of hair from your face with surprising gentleness.
"let me make something clear," he said, voice low and intense. "i don't do shit i don't want to do. and i don't walk away from challenges."
"is that what i am? a challenge?" you weren't sure if you should be offended or flattered.
the corner of his mouth quirked up in that half-smile that always made your heart race. "you're a pain in my ass. but…" he hesitated, clearly wrestling with what to say next. "you're my pain in the ass."
coming from bakugou, it was practically a declaration of love.
he'll never—
the voice was cut off as bakugou’s hand cupped your cheek, his calloused palm warm against your skin. for once, his perpetual scowl was gone, replaced by something softer, more vulnerable.
"tell the voices to shut the hell up," he murmured, "because i'm about to kiss you."
your breath caught in your throat. "bakugou…"
"katsuki," he corrected. "if we're doing this, you use my name."
"katsuki," you whispered, testing the feel of it on your tongue.
and then his lips were on yours, firm and warm and insistent. the voices that had plagued you all morning fell completely silent, drowned out by the thundering of your heart and the sensation of bakugou—no, katsuki—pulling you closer.
when you finally broke apart, the silence in your mind was blissful. whether it would last, you couldn't know. the voices would return eventually. but for now, with bakugou’s arms around you and his forehead pressed against yours, they couldn't reach you.
"they're gone," you breathed in wonder.
he smirked, that cocky confidence returning. "told you i could drown them out."
the bell rang in the distance, signaling the end of lunch period.
"we should get back," you said reluctantly.
bakugou didn't loosen his hold. "skip with me."
your eyes widened. "skip class? you never skip class."
"first time for everything," he shrugged. "besides, we need to figure out how to deal with those voices. might take all afternoon."
"and how exactly are we going to do that?" you asked, unable to keep the smile from your face.
his answering grin was both wicked and tender. "i have some ideas. but first—" he leaned in again, his lips brushing yours softly, "let's make sure they stay quiet a little longer."
as you melted into his kiss, you couldn't hear a single whisper—just the beating of two hearts and the promise that whatever darkness came, you wouldn't face it alone.

when katsuki’s copying your snaps so you pull a move
you sat, scattered across your bedroom with your friends. you decided you should all have a sleepover because you hadn’t hung out as a group in a while. as you all continued to giggle and watch a show on your television screen, your phone lit up.
a notification from katsuki, who you were sending photos of yourself to every couple of minutes. of course, he copied them with ease and without a care in the world.
but suddenly, your eyes widened, and you grinned like the cheshire cat. you had an amazing idea. you held the camera not too far away, and flexed your arm, showing your muscle. you giggled, would katsuki really fall for the trick and send you the same pose back?
less than a minute later, he opened the photo, but tsuyu sat next to you and leaned against her arms behind her. she asked, “are you feeling okay? you don’t appear to be interacting with the group as much.”
you nodded, “i’m okay, i’m just trying to get my boyfriend to do something,” then smiled at her clueless face. she was adorable.
you gained another notification from katsuki, so you clicked it and opened the photo.
jesus christ. his muscles were huge.
his shirt was off, and his bicep had a scar on it, he was looking into the camera with a glint in his red eyes and a smirk on his face. you blushed, and your lips stretched into a smile. you saved the photo to your camera roll, and he immediately texted you a message.
‘glad you think i look that good’
you rolled your eyes and smiled, and suddenly you heard a knock on your dorm door. the room went silent, and mina picked up the remote control and paused the show you were watching. everyone looked at each other, then at you. after a couple of seconds, there was another knock at the door and a sigh. you stood up and timidly walked over to the door, then opened it.
katsuki stood there in a black tank top with a white skull in the middle and sweatpants. his muscles still stood out even in his top and pants, and he smirked down at you, then raised his eyebrows.
you looked back at the quiet room and smiled, “don’t worry guys, it’s just katsuki!”
“y/n, he probably came here to be with you. you can let him in, you don’t have to ask us.” you smiled at kyoka’s words, then you squealed and jumped.
your boyfriend didn’t say many words, but you latched onto his bicep and tugged him into your room. he locked the bedroom door then you pushed him onto the bed to watch the show with the girls. you sat crisscrossed with him and switched positions frequently until you were comfortable.
once he laid down on your bed, you immediately followed after him and slung your leg and arm over his body. he groaned and gently pushed your head away when you tried to nuzzle into him, but you whined.
he grinned, knowing he was just trying to irritate you. he then placed his large hand on the back of your head and pulled it back closer to his body, and once everyone was looking away, he kissed your hair.
katsuki would never admit it, but he just wanted to lie down with you. didn’t care much to talk or show you anything, but wanted to be in your presence. you would always be the one to bring his mood up.
words weren’t needed to express his love for you, and vice versa.
but a couple of minutes later, the two of you were passed out, snuggled together in your bed. ochaco stood up from the bean bag and leaned over.
she whispered, “aww, look at those two! they’re adorable, i’ve never seen bakugo like this!” she placed her hands together and spinned.
but mina had a different idea.
“yeah, they’re cute, but eijiro can use this as blackmail, and so can i,” she joked. she took her phone out and made sure the flash was off, before smiling with malicious intent and looking at all the girls. they giggled, and she finally took the photo.
she sent it to eijiro, who texted back, ‘i always knew he was down bad for her’
hope u guys liked this one! tysm for so many likes on my first katsuki post
pairing: katsuki bakugou x gn!reader
tags: mention of pain & injuries, argument with bakugou, reader's quirk hurts them, hurt/comfort, happy ending
bakugou and you were classmates before you started dating and he was roughly aware of how your quirk worked
however, just like with most other people around him, he didn't actually pay as much attention to the details of your quirk
which is why he's quite surprised when he finds out that your quirk has a downside to it: whenever you heal someone, you feel their pain!
bakugou has always thought you were weaker than him, due to your quirk only being useful for support, but that revelation makes him rethink everything
you're much tougher than he gave you credit for! you must've endured so much pain, without even showing any of it. you were more admirable than any of his other classmates…
but bakugou also began to look back on all the times he got unnecessarily hurt and you were there to help him
he thought the only person he'd harm with his careless attitude while fighting would be himself. but you were hurt just as much, as you healed him up every time, no matter the injury…
bakugou can't help but get angry at himself, for being such a fool and getting you hurt with his own carelessness!
but since he isn't very good at expressing his feelings, he ends up taking his anger out on you, the one person who truly didn't deserve it
he starts yelling at you, that you need to stop using your stupid quirk and that you did more harm than good!
though when you end up crying and tell him to leave, he quickly regrets his words…
the same day on that evening, he shows up at your room with flowers and chocolate, looking guiltily and apologizing for everything he said
luckily for him, you accept his apology and bakugou promises to never yell at you again like this, as well as to be careful from now on, so you won't have to use your quirk on him anymore!
this is the best dad katsuki thing ive ever read
This one is rlly long😭
☆☆☆
The hospital reeked of antiseptic and tension. The fluorescent lights flickered overhead as Bakugo Katsuki paced the floor like a caged animal. His hands—usually steady in battle—trembled slightly. Outside the delivery room, his world was unraveling.
"Mr. Bakugo," the nurse called gently. "She’s in distress. We’re doing everything we can."
He didn’t answer. His crimson eyes were locked on the swinging double doors that had swallowed you hours ago.
You—his wife, his partner, the only person who could call him a dumbass and still get a smile out of him—were behind those doors. And you were fighting a battle even he couldn't charge into fists-first.
Twelve Hours Earlier
Your water had broken in the dead of night. You’d barely gotten a full sentence out before Bakugo was already tossing clothes into a bag and barking at the cab company over the phone. By the time you reached the hospital, contractions were tearing through you like lightning, each one worse than the last.
Something wasn’t right.
The baby was breach. Your blood pressure spiked. You were losing too much blood. They rushed you into an emergency delivery, voices sharp and fast. Bakugo hadn’t been allowed in.
Present
Time blurred. Katsuki hated feeling useless more than anything. He should be in there. He should be beside you, holding your hand, telling you it was going to be okay even if his chest felt like it was going to explode.
A sudden scream tore through the hall. Your scream.
His knees buckled. He hadn’t even heard himself move before he was slamming into the door, fists glowing faintly, ready to break it down—
"Sir!" a nurse barked, shoving him back. "You can't go in there!"
"That’s my damn wife!" he snarled. "Let me—"
The screaming stopped.
Too abruptly.
Bakugo froze. The world stopped moving.
Seconds felt like eternities until finally, the doors opened and a doctor stepped out, blood on her scrubs and exhaustion in her eyes.
"She’s alive," she said softly. "And so is your son. But it was close. Too close."
His legs gave out and he collapsed into the nearest chair. His hands covered his face as air finally returned to his lungs. Alive. You were both alive.
"You can see her now."
He stood shakily, pushing into the room. You looked like hell—pale, exhausted, barely able to lift your eyelids—but when you saw him, a weak smile curved your lips.
"You look like shit," you whispered.
A choked laugh escaped him. He grabbed your hand and pressed it to his lips. “Don’t ever scare me like that again, dumbass.”
Then he saw the tiny bundle in your arms. Wide red eyes—his eyes—blinked up at him.
"Hey, little guy," he said, voice thick. "You’re already causing trouble, huh?"
You laughed faintly, and Bakugo leaned in, touching his forehead to yours.
"Next time," he murmured, "we're adopting."
---
Two Weeks Later
You were finally home.
The scent of sterilized hospital air had been replaced by the warmth of your shared apartment, still littered with unopened baby gifts and half-assembled furniture. It felt surreal, like you had died and somehow gotten a second chance.
Katsuki hadn’t left your side since the hospital.
He’d been quieter than usual—not cold, but... different. Protective. Watchful. The explosions were fewer, the yelling almost nonexistent. And at night, when he thought you were asleep, you caught him just staring—at you, at the baby, at the scar the IV left on your hand.
Like he couldn’t believe either of you were still here.
You shifted slightly on the couch, wincing. Your body still ached like hell. The stitches, the swelling, the pressure—no one talked about how brutal recovery would be. You felt raw. Fragile.
"Katsuki," you called weakly.
He appeared instantly from the kitchen, a bottle in one hand and your pain meds in the other. "Need something?"
"Come sit with me."
He hesitated. "You’re still hurting. I don’t wanna crowd you."
You reached out, fingers curling in the air.
He sighed, set everything down, and slid onto the couch beside you. Carefully. Gently. You leaned your head on his shoulder, your newborn cradled against your chest, tiny breaths warm against your skin.
"He looks like you," you murmured.
"Poor brat," he said, but his voice was soft.
Your fingers laced with his.
"You’ve been quiet."
He didn’t answer for a long time. Then:
"You almost died." His voice cracked. “And I couldn’t do shit about it.”
You turned to look at him, eyes brimming. "But I didn’t. We didn’t. Katsuki, you didn’t leave me. Not for a second. That means everything."
He clenched his jaw. “I’ve fought villains who tried to kill me. I’ve been stabbed, exploded, buried under rubble. I can deal with that. But you, bleeding out and screaming and I couldn’t even touch you—” He broke off. “I’ve never been that fucking scared in my life.”
Tears slipped down your cheek, and you pressed your lips to his temple. “You’re here. I’m here. Our son’s here. That’s all that matters.”
He looked down at the sleeping baby, chest rising and falling in sync with yours. “He’s tiny.”
You smirked. “So were you. Until puberty hit like a damn truck.”
A reluctant chuckle rumbled from him. “If he has even half your stubbornness, we’re screwed.”
“Half yours, you mean,” you teased.
The room went quiet again. You nestled closer, letting yourself breathe in his warmth, his scent. Safe.
“I thought I was ready to be a dad,” he said suddenly. “I trained for it. Got the nursery set up, read every damn book. But the second they handed him to me, I realized I didn’t know shit.”
You smiled sleepily. “You’re already doing perfect.”
“You’re just saying that ‘cause I haven’t blown up a diaper yet.”
You both laughed—quiet, tired, and a little broken, but real.
He looked at you, really looked, eyes softer than you’d ever seen them.
“I love you,” he whispered.
You blinked. Bakugo never whispered.
“I love you too,” you whispered back, voice catching.
And for the first time in weeks, you both finally exhaled.
---
Three Months Later
“You sure you’re okay without me for a few hours?” you asked again, already halfway out the door.
Bakugo rolled his eyes, baby monitor clipped to his sweatpants, your son strapped into a carrier on his chest like a slightly confused koala.
“D’you think I can’t handle him or something?” he grumbled.
“I think he shat through three outfits before noon yesterday, and you nearly declared war on baby wipes.”
Katsuki scowled. “One time.”
“One time per diaper.”
You kissed his cheek before he could argue, smirking. “You’ll be fine, Dad of the Year.”
The door clicked shut behind you.
And just like that… it was quiet.
Bakugo glanced down at the wide-eyed little boy strapped to his chest. “Alright, kid. Just me and you.”
The baby blinked, then made a soft gurgling noise.
“You better not be loading your diaper already.”
**
The first twenty minutes went smooth. Katsuki heated a bottle with military precision, burped the baby like a pro, and even played peekaboo without blowing anything up.
Then the baby started crying.
Loud.
Katsuki checked the diaper. Clean. Tried feeding him. Refused. Burping? Nothing. Pacifier? Launched like a missile.
“Are you broken?” he hissed, bouncing him awkwardly.
The baby wailed louder.
Bakugo, future Number One Hero, demolisher of villains, destroyer of fear itself… was being absolutely obliterated by a 12-pound infant.
“Alright!” he shouted over the crying. “You win, gremlin!”
He tried the ultimate move: laying on the couch with the baby on his chest, just like you did.
It worked. Instant silence.
“…Seriously?”
Tiny fingers gripped the collar of his shirt, and the baby let out a satisfied sigh, snuggling deeper against him.
“Tch. You just wanted to lay on me, huh?” Katsuki mumbled. “Clingy little nerd.”
He didn’t move. Not even when his phone buzzed. You’d texted: Everything okay?
He snapped a photo of his son sleeping peacefully on his chest and sent it back.
We’re good. Don’t rush.
He stared at the photo for a long time, warmth blooming in his chest. The kid looked so much like you when he was relaxed. And Katsuki realized something he hadn’t said out loud yet.
He loved this.
Being a dad.
The mess, the noise, the confusion—it was all chaos he could handle if it meant protecting you and this little bean.
“You’re not that bad, y’know,” he muttered. “Might even grow up to be cooler than me.”
The baby snorted in his sleep.
“Yeah, alright, don’t push it.”
**
When you walked in an hour later, you found them both fast asleep—Katsuki snoring, the baby drooling on his chest, one tiny fist tangled in his dad’s ash-blond hair.
You smiled and quietly snapped a photo.
The caption would read: My boys. Chaos level: manageable.
For now.
---
Ten Months Later
Your son had started babbling a while ago, but it was mostly incoherent nonsense—"ba-ba," "da-da," the occasional squeal that sounded like a baby pterodactyl mid-meltdown.
Katsuki had been watching him like a hawk, waiting for the first real word. It had practically become a competition between you two—who would he say first? "Mama" or "Dada"?
Katsuki refused to lose.
“You know I carried him for nine months, right?” you said, folding laundry one afternoon.
“Yeah, and I carried your ass through every post-labor breakdown, so I’d say we’re even,” he grunted, ruffling your son’s spiky blond hair as he sat chewing on a toy grenade (definitely plastic).
Your son looked up at him with wide, mischievous eyes and suddenly let out a loud, clear—
“Boom.”
Silence.
You blinked. “Did he just—?”
Katsuki’s eyes widened. “No. No way. Say it again, brat.”
The baby giggled. “Boom!”
“Oh my god.”
Katsuki stood there frozen for a moment, and then his mouth curled into the smuggest grin you’d ever seen.
“That’s my boy.”
You threw a sock at his face. “Katsuki, his first word was ‘boom.’”
“I’m proud as hell.”
“He’s not a grenade!”
“He’s mine, so yes, he is.”
Your son squealed again. “Boom!”
Now he was bouncing.
“Stop encouraging him!” you said, even though you were trying not to laugh.
Bakugo squatted beside him and bumped their foreheads together gently. “Boom, huh? You’re gonna be a damn legend.”
You shook your head in disbelief, watching your two pyro-twins grin at each other like chaos incarnate.
Katsuki looked up at you, full of fire and affection. “Guess we know what kind of quirk he’s leanin’ toward.”
You groaned. “We are so not baby-proofed for explosions.”
Katsuki smirked. “Guess I better teach him control before he blows up the crib.”
Your baby babbled happily between them again. “Boom!”
Yeah. You were definitely raising a little dynamite.
And honestly? You wouldn’t have it any other way.

Age: 2 Years, 3 Months
Your son’s first day of daycare was supposed to be normal.
You’d packed his snacks, extra clothes, diapers, wipes, and left strict instructions that he was “sweet, a little stubborn, and very attached to his Bakugou-brand plushie.”
You also wrote in bold: “If he gets upset, avoid loud noises. They tend to... backfire.”
The teacher smiled politely. “We’ve handled all kinds of quirks. Don’t worry.”
You didn’t.
Until the phone call.
Three hours later.
Bakugo answered it on speaker.
“Hello, this is—uh—Miss Hikari from Little Hero Steps Daycare. We have a small situation.”
Katsuki’s eyes narrowed. “Is he hurt?”
“No! No, he’s fine. Perfectly fine. A little excited, actually…”
Your stomach dropped.
“…but the plastic slide may have, um... detonated.”
Katsuki let out a low snort. “He blew up the slide?”
“It was only the top half,” she added quickly. “And technically, it was more of a pop than a boom.”
You could feel Katsuki’s pride from across the kitchen.
“Are the other kids okay?” you asked, horrified.
“Yes! No injuries. He wasn’t upset, just… showing off. He said ‘Boom!’ and then—”
“That’s my son,” Bakugo said, folding his arms with a smug little smirk.
You elbowed him. “That is not a good thing.”
“Didn’t say it was bad either.”
**
When you arrived at the daycare, your son was sitting on a beanbag with three teachers around him—like he was some kind of dangerous celebrity.
His hair was wild, his cheeks were smudged with soot, and he looked way too pleased with himself.
“Mommy! Daddy!” he yelled, running over and nearly tripping on his own feet.
“Hey, you little menace,” Katsuki muttered, picking him up.
“Boom!” he chirped proudly, like it was his name.
One of the teachers came over, cautiously.
“We think his quirk is starting to develop. It’s... early, but very similar to yours, Mr. Bakugo.”
Katsuki beamed. “Damn right it is.”
You groaned. “Please tell me we’re not banned.”
The teacher laughed nervously. “No—though we’re investing in more fireproof playground equipment starting immediately.”
**
That night, after your son was passed out in his crib, soot still faintly dusting his forehead, you collapsed on the couch.
“He’s gonna be a handful,” you murmured, resting your head on Katsuki’s chest.
“Yeah,” he muttered, stroking your hair. “He’s gonna be a hell of a hero too.”
You smiled, eyes drifting closed as you listened to your husband’s heartbeat under your cheek—steady, strong, and forever explosive.
Just like the little boy down the hall.
---
You were pregnant. Again.
You hadn’t meant for it to happen quite so soon—not when your firstborn was still blowing up laundry baskets for fun and calling it “training.”
But the second those two pink lines appeared, your stomach flipped. Part nerves. Part excitement. And a lot of “oh god, how is Bakugo going to react?”
**
You told him on a quiet evening. Your son was asleep (finally) and the living room still smelled faintly of scorched Play-Doh.
You sat beside him, heart racing.
“I’m pregnant.”
Bakugo blinked. He looked at you. Then at your stomach. Then back at you.
“…Are you sure?”
You nodded, biting your lip.
He leaned forward slowly, resting a hand on your thigh like he thought the couch might explode.
“Holy shit.”
You laughed. “That’s… not the response I expected.”
He stared at your stomach for a long time before finally saying, softly, “You okay with this?”
“I’m scared. But yeah. I want this.”
He nodded, jaw tightening. “You nearly died last time.”
“I know.”
“You think I can do this again?” His voice cracked, barely above a whisper. “What if I lose you this time?”
You reached for his hand. “Then you hold me tighter and fight harder.”
Bakugo clenched his fists, then gently rested one palm on your belly.
“…You better be a chill baby,” he muttered. “I can’t handle two demolition experts at once.”
**
Your son found out a week later when he walked into the kitchen, pointed to your tiny bump, and said:
“BOOM 2?”
You choked on your orange juice. Katsuki burst out laughing.
From that point on, the baby was Boom 2 to him.
**
As the months passed, your second pregnancy felt... different. Easier in some ways, harder in others. Your son was older now, talking more, asking endless questions.
“Did I live in your belly too?”
“You did, baby.”
“Was I loud?”
“You screamed the whole time.”
He nodded proudly. “Boom!”
Katsuki didn’t stop worrying. Not for a second. Every time you winced, he was at your side. Every time you had a check-up, he came. He argued with nurses over your chart. Practically threatened the OB into promising you a safer delivery plan.
“I lost my shit once,” he told the doctor. “I’m not doing that again.”
**
One quiet night, a few weeks before your due date, he crawled into bed behind you and wrapped his arms around your belly, pulling you gently against his chest.
“Still scared,” he whispered against your skin.
“I know,” you whispered back.
“But I want this. I want all of this. You, him”—he nodded toward your sleeping toddler down the hall—“and this tiny bomb too.”
Your heart melted.
“I want them to know they’re loved,” he added, voice thick. “No matter how loud, or messy, or crazy it gets.”
“They’ll know,” you promised, turning to kiss him softly. “Because they have you.”
Katsuki didn’t answer. He just held you tighter, his hand on your belly.
And somewhere inside, Boom 2 kicked like they were already ready to make an entrance.
Just like their brother.
Just like their dad.
---
It started with a kick.
Not just any kick—one that rocked your whole body at 3:12 a.m.
You groaned, gripping the edge of the bed.
Katsuki shot up like a soldier under fire.
“Contraction?” he barked.
“Yep,” you hissed, breathing through it.
He was already moving—bag in hand, grabbing your shoes, shouting toward the baby monitor: “Stay asleep, Boom #1!”
**
This time around, the doctors were ready. And so was Katsuki.
Still, even as they guided you into the labor room, he was white-knuckling the edge of your bed, eyes locked on you like if he blinked, you’d vanish.
You reached for him.
“I’m okay,” you said between waves of pain. “I’m okay.”
“I’m not letting go of you this time,” he muttered, voice low, jaw clenched.
And he didn’t.
Not when your screams broke through the walls.
Not when the monitors started beeping faster.
Not when the doctor said, “We need to move quickly—cord’s wrapped.”
He held your hand through it all. Pressed his forehead to yours. Whispered every curse word in the book, followed by: “You’ve got this. You’re stronger than anyone I’ve ever met.”
And when the final cry rang out—
A high, sharp wail that cut through the air like lightning—
Bakugo exhaled like he’d been holding his breath for nine months straight.
“She’s perfect,” the nurse whispered.
“She?” you breathed, dazed.
Katsuki blinked. “A girl?”
They placed her on your chest—tiny, red, angry as hell. She immediately latched onto your hospital gown like she was ready to fight the world.
You laughed through tears. “She’s already like you.”
Katsuki stared at her.
Just stared.
His eyes—those wild, stormy eyes—were wide and full of wonder.
“You’re kidding me,” he whispered. “I’ve got a daughter.”
You reached for his hand. “You’ve got us.”
He leaned down, pressing a soft kiss to your forehead, then to your daughter’s.
“I swear on my damn life,” he whispered, “no one’s ever gonna mess with you.”
She let out a fierce little squeak.
And he smiled, completely undone.
**
An hour later, you were resting, and he was sitting by the bed with your baby girl tucked into the crook of his arm.
“Name?” you asked, eyes heavy but heart full.
He looked down at her, then at you.
“What about Kaori?” he said. “Strong. Bright. Means fragrance or light.”
You smiled. “Kaori Bakugo. It’s perfect.”
And for the first time that night, the hospital room felt still. Safe.
Because no matter how explosive your little family was becoming—
It was built on something unshakable.
Love. Fire. And a whole lot of Boom.
---
Two days after Kaori’s birth, you came home—sore, exhausted, but glowing. Kaori was tiny, sleepy, and wrapped like a burrito in her fuzzy explosion-patterned blanket that Katsuki insisted she wear home.
Your front door creaked open slowly.
Bakugo carried Kaori in with terrifying precision, like she was made of nitroglycerin.
Inside, your two-year-old son was standing barefoot in the hallway—holding a plastic grenade in one hand and a drawing in the other.
“Mommy!” he shouted, running at you.
You caught him one-armed, lifting him up, groaning slightly. “Easy, baby.”
Katsuki stood back, rocking gently with Kaori in his arms. “Hey, Boom #1,” he said softly. “Wanna meet your sister?”
Your son blinked, looking at the tiny pink bundle.
“That’s her?”
“Yup.”
“She looks squishy.”
“She is,” you said, chuckling. “Gentle, okay?”
He padded over on tiptoes, peering up at her like she was some sort of sacred relic.
“…She doesn’t go boom?”
“Let’s hope not,” Katsuki muttered.
“She’s your baby sister,” you explained. “Her name is Kaori.”
He tilted his head. “Can I keep her?”
Katsuki smirked. “She’s not a pet.”
“But I love her already,” your son said proudly. Then leaned close and whispered (as if it were a spell): “Boom.”
Kaori stirred slightly… and farted.
A loud one.
Your son lost it.
“SHE DOES BOOM TOO!” he screamed.
Katsuki nearly dropped her from laughing so hard. “Oh god. She’s already like you.”
**
You all settled in the living room. Kaori slept peacefully on Katsuki’s chest while your son built a pillow fort and declared it the "Boom Base."
“She can live in the base with me,” he announced.
“She’s not old enough for base life yet,” you said.
“I’ll protect her,” he added matter-of-factly. “From monsters. And spiders. And broccoli.”
You looked over at Katsuki, who was watching the two of them with a look you’d only ever seen twice before: once on your wedding day, and once when your son took his first steps.
“Didn’t think I could love more than I already did,” he murmured. “But damn.”
You scooted closer and leaned into him, Kaori safe between you.
“Looks like we’re officially a team of four.”
“Correction,” Katsuki said. “We’re a squad.”
A very loud, occasionally explosive, wildly chaotic squad.
And honestly? You wouldn’t trade it for the world.
Childhood best friends turned into something more, at least with the label. Katsuki Bakugo, a fast-rising hero and fast-learning guy who is ever so slow in getting attached to and loving someone. Even three long years into a relationship, and your friends even forget you're even dating. Nothing happening, spare a few kisses.. like 3 kisses, during high school. Graduated and living together, and you guys have done absolutely nothing to further the relationship. Are you sure you're not just friends? CW: Smut, brief domestic violence discussion, virginity loss, aggressive flirting from creeps, gore with pro hero stuff (lmk if i missed any) Applies to all chapters regardless of it is in said chapter.

im begging for you to make a drummer bakugou based on that "i hate attention" video on tiktok of the girl on his lap
➻ omg i don't know which tiktok u mean i'll be so real, i think i might've found the right one but if i'm wrong i'll rework it ^-^ just lmk!
notes: nsfw themes, 16+, quirkless!au, band!au
context: katsuki bakugo is a drummer in a band, with jirou (singer), kirishima (basist) and kaminari (lead guitarist). y/n is jirou's best friend. masterlist
╚══ஓ๑♡๑ஓ══╝╚══ஓ๑♡๑ஓ══╝╚══ஓ๑♡๑ஓ══╝
katsuki bakugo was always full of surprises. from the great effort he took into spiking his hair, to the deep black eyeliner he smudged on his waterline, it seemed like every week, you found out something new about him. originally, he was simply a hot-headed classmate who sat two rows in front of you, only interested in body-building and heavy music, while you were seemingly distant and dry.
so you were shocked when you found out your best friend, kyoka jirou, was in a band with him. sure, you should've expected it. while his hair remained naturally blonde, he often liked to semi-dye the tips black, while painting his nails and keeping them short. it also shouldn't have surprised you that he was the drummer. from the flexing of his biceps to the therapeutic anger-relief of hitting the drum skins, it was undoubtedly a talent suited for him. and you couldn't deny he looked hot playing them.
the band contained him, jirou, kaminari & kirishima, yet your eyes would only lay on the spikey blonde. he had such an intense stage presence, his crimson eyes hunting the audience like prey as he showed off his strength and aura. it was embarrassing to admit to jirou that not only were you going to her gigs for her, but also for bakugo.
"y/n," jirou muttered, straightening her hair before a gig. she was sat sprawled in front of a dirty mirror, cigarette hanging from her mouth as she looked towards you. you were lying on her bed, scrolling though social media while you waited for the group to start. you were vip, of course. "could you do something for me for the gig?"
"sure, anything for you," you winked, glancing towards her before back at your phone.
"we're performing a song that's kinda trending at the moment. we're wanting to, you know, get seen on instagram, as cringe as it is," she explained, standing up and rolling up her knee-high socks. "but the trend includes someone sitting on the drummer during the solo."
"right," you answered confidently, roughly knowing what trend she meant. "and what are you wanting me to do? find someone who'll do it?"
she went silent, a small, smug grin on her lips as she took a long, drawn out inhale. "no, i want you to do it."
***
and that's exactly how you ended up on stage. albeit in front of around 450 people, you were still on stage. with lights on you. and a man's LAP to stradle.
you'd only agreed after multiple pleas from jirou. apparently the majority of girls they auditioned just didn't get along with bakugo's rough nature and snotty attitude, and considering he felt awkward himself with these women, they'd had to narrow it down to people he knew. and that just happened to be you.
the music was blaring around you, a cover of type o negative being slammed on guitar and getting the crowd wild. it was becoming your time, and you began to dance towards the drummer, who was so entranced by his own performance that he barely saw you coming. heart in your throat but showing off a false confidence, you sultured over, before enthusiastically throwing yourself on top of bakugo. you heard him grunt under his breath, attempting to get comfortable while thrashing the drumset. by this point, he was topless. the heat of the atmosphere and humidity had all four artists hot and bothered. it didn't bother you, however, as you were in awe by his beauty up close.
"sorry," you muttered under your breath, going beat red in the face as you performed a lap dance on him, your hands clasped on his shoulders as you turned your face to the crowd, a sly look on your face as you watched audience members fien jealousy.
"don't be," he answered, his eyes shooting daggers through yours as he stared at you. his hands continued to thrash, fingers brushing against your skin whenever he could. "do i look like i'm complaining, freak?"
you bit your lip as you realised he was into it, a slight hue slithering over the bridge of his nose and cheekbones. it bought you an unimaginable confidence and, being recorded by none other than ashido, you put on a show. bouncing, pretending to kiss him, playing with his hair... anything sultry, and you were doing it. he kept his eyes on you, and you noticed his eyes slip down your top occasionally as he checked you out. sure, maybe you were all he could see, but he was being blatant. and you were sure you could feel movement beneath you...
the cue for you to get off the stage was coming up, however; the song was coming to an end, so they could finish up the set and go for drinks. you'd been told by jirou to do something drastic, something memorable as you left, but considering you and bakugo had performed a softcore lapdance, you weren't sure where to go from there. you looked at him desperately, unsure what to do, and he 'tchd'.
"just follow my lead," he muttered, glaring at jirou before leaning forwards. you followed, your back now against the bass drum and the high toms. your eyes widened as he threw the sticks behind him, roughly took your chin in his hands, and kissed you.
your arms draped around his shoulders, melting into the kiss you'd only dreamed of. he smelled like deep caramel and musk, and his hands scaled up your shirt to feel your skin. he'd made out like kissing you was a chore, when he seemed to be enjoying every moment. you heard jirou scream in delight, saying something stupid to the crowd you didn't fully hear. but once you were let go by the blonde, he rolled his eyes and pulled you off the kit.
"now get the fuck out of my sight," he said loudly, keeping the shit-eating persona up for the audience as he gestured you off the stage. completely stunned from the whole experience, you nodded as you tried to stop your legs from turning to jelly.
"mhm!" you answered, completely unable to make eye-contact with the man. but, even so, you felt him grab your arm. turning, he pulled you to his ear, whispering so the audience couldn't hear. and his words made butterflies flutter in your stomach.
"meet me in the back. twenty minutes."
an. i hope this is ok for u :)
