»»————- ♡ ————-««
bakugou katsuki
you saw this tiktok and immediately thought of katsuki, so the menace you are went 🌝
plus, there’s not a lot of preparations you need to do for this trend— you just need to go ‘😮’ and wait for a reaction
moving on, katsuki may be an expressive person— regarding anger anyway 💀 but he never actually goes on full fledged rants
like,, he’ll never rant to anyone. you, being the obvious exception, of course. he’ll rant out all of his feelings to you.
so right now, you’re on your phone— 20% scrolling, 80% listening to him rant. therefore, he doesn’t seem to mind your activity.
today, he’s ranting about something that happened in training, just something midoriya did that pissed him off but when is midoriya NOT unintentionally pissing him off
and suddenly, you get an idea— since katsuki wasn’t doing anything TOO urgent
just remembering the tiktok prank, you switch to tiktok— opening the camera. then, you start filming
you open your mouth all the way open— as if you saw something unbelievably shocking, and you’re just waiting for him to notice
after a few seconds, he finally notices.
“just who the fuck does he think he is? that damn deku’s lucky i’m—” taking one brief look at you, katsuki stops talking.
and the two of you just kinda stare at each other like 🤨👁⭕️👁
“what?” you ask, mouth still agape
“the hell are you doing?? close your damn mouth.”
you’re just staring at him, not saying anything in reply— and he sighs, a little peeved “you look like a damn pufferfish like that. were you even listening to me?”
you nod in reply, and the fact that your mouth is still ?? open?? agitates him.
“i’ll literally spit in your mouth AND shove my fingers down your throat, if you don’t close ‘em.”
he wasn’t actually planning on doing either of those things, he just said that to make you close your mouth already 💀
but hearing that just made you open your mouth WIDER 😭 ❓which made him go 🤦♂️
‘of course you’d do that, you fucking perv.’ he’d think, while the tips of his ears turned hot RED at the suggestion 🗿
the last option for him was to manually close it himself— he can and WILL use force if he has to, he doesn’t wanna actually hurt you
it doesn’t work, because your jaw is STRONG STRONG, and he’s like internally ‘pleaasseee close your mouth im so done w/ you 😐’
after a struggle, he finally gets your mouth closed— but you only laugh in his face hard directly after
right now, he’s the epitome of 🤨 “what now??” katsuki asks, seconds later
and he takes a peek at your phone, saw that you were filming a tiktok and he went 😐 🙄🤦♂️
his expression basically saying ‘tbh what was i expecting here?’
but then he remembers what he said while you were discreetly filming the tiktok, and the color quickly DRAINS from his face
so he tries snatching your phone 💀 he needs to erase it rn
doesn’t work somehow, he doesn’t know how it happened— and you managed to successfully upload the tiktok for EVERYONE to see
AND OF COURSE, HIS LUCK MADE THE VIDEO BLOW UP— now everyone in the comments is talking about the ‘threat’ he made 🧍
because of that, katsuki decides to ghost you for 4 days 😭 only to come back with your favorite meal, and telling you to “shut up and eat it 🙄”
he’s just gonna hope that you’re gonna back off the tiktok trends/pranks for a bit you don’t, he’s not very surprised about that tbh
todoroki shouto
you honestly just wondered what exactly would he do, since there’s a lot of things he could possibly do💀
half of you no pun intended decided to do this out of pure curiosity and the other half just thought it was an easy and funny trend to try on shouto
so like, why not?
this time around, the both of you guys are staying in your room, and shouto’s just preparing the takeout soba he brought over to his room
you wondered why he wanted to eat in your room specifically— instead of the common room, or even the dining room
and he was just like “hm,, i just felt like it.” nah, shouto just wanted to eat his soba with you alone 🗿
he’s still preparing his soba, and you’re just scrolling on tiktok— but then, you remembered the trend you saw on your fyp
now would be the perfect time, since none of you are occupied with anything tedious. so, you immediately switch to the camera, and start filming.
a few seconds past— and nothing special happens 💀 he’s still preparing his meal
but he does notice that you’ve stopped talking, so he takes this as a sign to start talking. “love, w—”
but whatever he was going to say was knocked right out of him, when he catches sight of you going 😮
he’s like ‘hmm..’ but on the outside, he’s just staring at you like 🧍❓
shouto looks down at his takeout soba, and he just assumes you want to be fed 😃❓ so he takes his chopsticks, gathers a bit of soba— and directs it to your open mouth
but you don’t close your mouth, or react at all 😨 so now he’s confused with what’s happening
heterochromatic eyes blink, and he draws his hand back. “love, what are you doing?”
you’re trying SO hard not to laugh right now💀 but you simply raise your shoulders in reply
he’s thinking hard, thinking about what your mouth’s open for, and why exactly is it open
“love, you’re going to hurt your jaw.” he finally says, setting his food down to get even closer to you.
when he finally takes a look at your screen— he’s at first, taken aback at the sight of you just STARING at your camera 💀
then, he basically joins you, mirroring your expression. so the two of you are just staring at each other like 👁⭕️👁 🤳👁🔘👁
BUT HE REALIZES THAT YOU’RE DOING THIS FOR A TIKTOK, SO HE JUST SHUTS HIS MOUTH CLOSED AND GOES 😨
“love, don’t do that,” he says, moving to cover your mouth with his hand, “you can’t let people see the insides of your mouth.” it’s the thought that counts
hearing that made you close your mouth— bursting into laughter 💀
man just smiles, despite being REALLY confused 🧍 i mean, you’re laughing. so, he’s a happy shouto :))
and even through all of that, shouto ends up feeding you some of his soba— since he’s kinda convinced that you wanted him to feed you some soba 💀
you uploaded the tiktok, and it blew up specifically because of everything that happened in the tiktok
shouto trying to feed you, him mimicking your expression— him being protective, and covering your mouth 🤩
the comments were filled with “NOT HIM COPYING YOUR EXPRESSION 😭” “Y’ALL HEARD WHAT HE SAID? ‘you can’t let people see the insides of your mouth’ 🕳🏃♀️” “oml since when was your boyfriend so expressive 💀” “this relationship >>> y’all”
i don’t think shouto will ever find himself fully understanding pranks like this— but at least people know that shouto can in fact, get protective 🧎♀️and the two of you have an interesting comment section to look at later
likes and reblogs are appreciated, thanks for reading!

Equals and Dinner
Summary: A part two to Scars and Marks. You’re meeting Bakugou’s parents, and you’re more than a little stressed about it. But the nice woman at the mall calms your worries after giving you some much needed fashion advice.
TW: Mentions of the ex-girlfriend, but other than that, I don’t think there is anything. If I missed something please let me know.
“Why is women’s clothing so expensive?” you hissed as you searched through the racks of scrappy shirts and short shorts.
“I’m pretty sure I saw that shirt in the men’s section and it was twenty dollars less than that,” a woman said, making you jump. “Sorry dear, I didn’t mean to startle you.”
“It’s alright, I get lost in my own little world sometimes. Especially when I’m stressed.”
“What are you stressed about? School?”
“No, I’m meeting my soulmate’s parents this weekend. They mean a lot to him, and I’m worried about what they’ll think of me,” you admitted.
The woman looked familiar, but you couldn’t place where you had seen her before. Her blonde hair seemed familiar, so did her red eyes.
“Soulmate? Not boyfriend?” she asked, cocking her head to the side.
“Well, it’s complicated. If his parents don’t like me, I don’t think he’s going to be interest-”
“If his commitment relies on his parents’ opinions, he’s weak. If he’s interested in you, then it doesn’t matter if his parents like you or not.”
You smiled at her.
“You remind me of someone,” you admitted. “I can’t place where though.”
“I don’t get that a lot,” she replied, smiling at you. “It’s refreshing.”
She gave off a very maternal presence, it was comforting.
“This,” she said, picking something off the rack. “This will win over any mother. It’s pretty, but it’s not too revealing. Not to mention, with your skin tone and hair color, it’s a nice compliment.”
“I was looking at that earlier, but I didn’t think it would look good,” you admitted.
“We are our own worst critics,” she told you, handing you the dress.
“Thank you for the help,” you murmured, bowing to her slightly.
“Oh it’s no problem dear,” she assured you. “Just happy to help.”
“Well, thanks anyways,” you said, smiling at her as you made your way to the changing rooms.
She was right, the dress did look good.
It looked a little short, but with all the black leggings you had, it would look great. The sleeves wouldn’t get in the way, it made you look older than you were.
That woman had a good eye.
She was gone when you walked back out, but you smiled anyway.
You bought the dress, heading back to the dorms.
“(Y/F/N)! You’re back early! Did you find a good outfit?” Momo asked.
“Yeah, I had some help from a random mom I met though,” you admitted, pulling it out of the bag to show the girls.
“Wow, I never knew a mom could have such good fashion taste,” Jirou said, glancing over the dress in appreciation.
“Right? And she made me a little less worried about meeting Bakugou’s parents this weekend.”
“I still can’t believe that you’re his soulmate,” Uraraka muttered. “I mean, you two are so different.”
“But they work, don’t you think?” Tsu asked.
“They work, but it’s strange to see Bakugou not yelling at someone,” Jirou chimed in.
“You guys are more obsessed with my relationship with Bakugou than I am,” you teased, making them laugh.
“Can you blame us?” Momo asked.
“No, but it worries me sometimes.”
“(Y/F/N), can you come help me with this?” Izuku asked.
“Yeah, just let me put this in my room,” you called, running to set it in your room, before you jogged back down the stairs to help Izuku.
“What do you need help with?” you asked, glancing over his shoulder at what looked like a presentation.
“I just need a female eye on this,” he admitted. “I feel like it needs something.”
“Well, maybe a sprinkle of navy blue here, a small dab of white around the edges, and then small streaks of pink along that word there.”
“How are you so good at that?” he asked.
“Society seems to think that women need to be fashion forward. Everything needs to match and you can’t be ugly. I learned early on what matched and what didn’t. Besides, I have an artist’s eye apparently,” you said. “You all good?”
“Yeah, thanks,” he said, making you smile.
“No problem Izuku,” you assured him.
“(Y/F/N)! Come help me make a point!” Denki shouted, making you chuckle.
“What are you nimrods arguing over now?” you asked.
“If Bakugou were to be a sea animal, what would he be?” Denki asked.
“Pufferfish,” was your immediate response, and Denki pointed at you yelling, “Aha!”
“Damnit (Y/F/N)!” Hanta shouted, making you laugh.
“Okay, but imagine this,” you said, moving your hands. “If he were a dog? poofy Pomeranian.”
They burst out laughing and Denki looked like he was crying.
“HAH? I wouldn’t be a fucking Pomeranian!” Bakugou shouted from the doorway.
“Oh, hey Bakugou,” you said, smiling at him. “The boys needed me to clarify that you would be a pufferfish.”
“What the fuck?” he muttered, staring at you. “What kind of fucked up conversations are you dickwads having?”
You shrugged. “You wanna know, ask them.”
Your phone buzzed and you swore.
“Fuck, I forgot I was meeting Ichiro today! Have a good night guys!” you called, grabbing your purse and a spare hoodie, heading out the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Bakugou’s POV)
He watched as (Y/F/N) darted out of the dorms again, frowning.
Who was Ichiro?
He had come down from his room because he heard her laughing, something that had become a comfort for him on his bad days. He had also wanted make sure that they were set for this weekend.
Ever since the ‘Festival Fallout’ as the self-proclaimed Bakusquad had dubbed it, he had been paying more attention to her.
He had no idea how he hadn’t noticed her before now.
She seemed to light up any room she walked into, she made his bad days better just by smiling at him, she was always around when someone needed help. She didn’t even seem to realize how inherently good she was.
She didn’t seem to realize that she always had confidence when she was standing up for someone. How she always seemed to bite her lip when she was embarrassed, how she always fought better when she was fighting for someone else.
She always laughed when Denki told a bad joke, when Sero wrapped himself up in his tape, when Shinso failed to use his capture weapon, when Bakugou was always surprised by his friends and their unexpectedness.
She was so different from him, Katsuki knew that, he knew they were different, and yet, he noticed her in a way he had never noticed anyone else.
She always hid behind her hair when she was put in the spotlight, she only sang when she thought she was alone, she had a bad habit of biting her nails when she was stressed, no matter how short they got, and she always rubbed her thumb across her palm when she was nervous.
Katsuki had always noticed little things, he had trained himself to be observant, but these weren’t just little things. They were her little things. They were little things that seemed insignificant by themselves, but brought together they were little things that made her . . . her.
He had never really believed the whole soulmates thing growing up. His parents were soulmates, and their dynamic seemed so off to Bakugou. He had always been taught that soulmates were equal. His parents had never seemed equal to him.
He was watching as she disappeared now, and he thought he understood. She wasn’t as physically strong as him, and her quirk wasn’t as strong, but there were different kinds of strength.
What he lacked in faith she more than made up for, what he lacked in confidence in himself at times, she had in him all the time. When he had his dark days, she was right there, smiling at him, even when he didn’t deserve it.
“-bro. Bakugou!”
Katsuki blinked, slowly, then realized the others were trying to get his attention.
“What do you fuckers want?” he asked, glaring at them.
“Why were you staring at (Y/F/N) like that?” Sero asked.
“Yeah man,” Kirishima chimed in, “you were staring at her like she was the best thing in your life. I’ve never seen you look at someone like that.”
“I mean, she is his soulmate,” Kaminari said, making Katsuki raise an eyebrow. “I know I look at ‘Toshi like that.”
Bakugou groaned, rolling his eyes.
“I’m going back to my room,” he muttered, heading back up to his room.
He grabbed his phone, opening her contact.
They had started to get to know each other, mostly on their own. They had been paired together for a project, and they often went out on patrols together because of the heroes they were working under.
Katsuki had found that he genuinely enjoyed her company, and he found that he didn’t mind it when she touched him.
He sent her a quick text telling her to be careful, then messed around with the games on his phone.
He didn’t want to be that person, they weren’t even dating for All Might’s sake, but . . . he missed her.
The realization shook him to his core.
It wasn’t often that he missed anybody. He missed his mother, and he missed hiking with his father, but it wasn’t often that he missed someone outside his family.
For the love of All Might, he was in over his head already.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As soon as you stepped back into the building, you were headed for Bakugou’s room.
Denki had texted you as you left the meeting with your brother that Bakugou had shut himself up in his room and that they were worried.
“Bakugou? Can I come in?” you inquired, knocking softly.
He grunted, which you took as a yes.
“Hey, are you okay?” you asked.
“I’m fine,” he grumbled, not even looking up from his phone.
“Thanks, for the text earlier,” you offered, taking a seat by his bed. “It made me smile.”
He grunted again, but you could tell that he was happy with that.
“Ichiro caught me looking at my phone and asked what I was smiling at.”
You caught the change in his attitude and added, “My brother has always been a snoop, but he didn’t see anything other than that text, promise.”
“Brother?” Bakugou asked.
“Yeah, Ichiro is my older brother. Did I not tell you that’s who I was meeting earlier?”
Bakugou gave a small shake of his head.
“Were you . . . were you jealous?” you asked.
He opened his mouth to snap at you, then snapped his mouth shut so quickly his teeth audibly clicked together.
“Missed you is all,” he mumbled, a small blush staining his cheeks.
You huffed a small laugh, laying your hand on his arm. “You know that it’s okay to miss people right? It’s okay to have people you care about.”
“I know, ‘m just not used to it,” he muttered.
“That’ll change,” you assured him, brushing your pants off as you stood up. “C’mon, let’s go downstairs, the others are worried about you. And I think Denki might try to microwave a fork if we leave him alone any longer.”
You smiled at him, and you caught a glimpse of the look he had been giving you lately.
You held your hand out to him, and he huffed, taking it.
His hand was rough against yours, but you could tell he was trying to be gentle.
You heard shouting from the common room and interlaced your fingers with him, pulling him down the hall.
“Yas! She has magical Bakugou convincing powers!” Denki shouted when he spotted you.
“Let’s be real,” Mina said, winking at you. “(Y/F/N) could convince us of anything.”
“You guys are giving me too much credit,” you said, smiling.
Bakugou leaned over, tucking your hair behind your ear, making you pause. You hadn’t really talked about what you were to each other. You had talked a little that night, but other than that, you had slowly been getting to know each other.
He had touched you of course, a hand on your shoulder to get your attention, and you had sparred with each other occasionally, but this was the first time he had done something like this.
Your cheeks heated, but you let him do it. It was nice. Luckily, if the others noticed, they didn’t say anything about it.
The rest of the night went by as usual, though Bakugou did let you lean on his shoulder when your eyes started to get heavy during the movie you and your friends were watching.
“S-Sorry,” you mumbled, fighting off a yawn. “It’s been a long day.”
He grunted, but he shifted so your head was in the dip of his shoulder, and he slid his hand into yours.
You smiled softly, giving his hand a small squeeze as you relaxed against his side.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You woke up slowly, the light streaming through your window, lighting your room with golden hues.
You sat up slowly, your eyes adjusting.
How did you get up here?
You didn’t remember walking to your room last night.
Slowly a memory surfaced.
Strong arms, a sweet scent, and rough hands that tried their best to be gentle.
Had he carried you to bed or were you making it up to fool yourself into thinking that he was interested?
“It’s too early for this shit,” you muttered, swinging your legs over the side, changing quickly before you headed downstairs.
“Hey there Sleeping Beauty,” Hanta teased, and you flipped him off.
“Fuck off, it’s too early for this without coffee,” you grumbled, pouring yourself a cup, adding enough sugar to kill the entire League of Villains.
“We’re definitely soulmates,” Bakugou said, grinning from his spot by the stove.
“Unlike you, I don’t get up at the ass crack of dawn,” you pointed out, chugging the drink, pouring yourself another.
Denki spewed his juice, making you laugh.
“We still on for this weekend?” Bakugou asked.
It took your brain a good two minutes to process what you had been asked.
“Yeah, yeah definitely,” you answered, shaking your head like you could clear it.
“You really aren’t a morning person, are you?” Mina asked.
“Nope,” you said, popping the ‘p’. “Never have been. I’m not really a night owl either, I’m some form of permanently exhausted pigeon, maybe a crow.”
“I can feel my brain cells dying,” Bakugou grunted.
“You have brain cells to spare, so shove it up your ass,” you told him, smirking. “Our entire friend group has like, seven brain cells collectively, and these four,” you pointed to Hanta, Denki, Eijirou, and Mina, “never have them. Sometimes you don’t either, but they literally never have them.”
“I’m not sure whether to yell at you or be proud,” he muttered, staring at you.
“Make up your mind,” you teased.
He glared at you, and you smiled back, smug.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You stared at the door in front of you, smoothing your hands over your dress, trying to will your palms not to sweat.
“Hey, they’re gonna love you,” Bakugou said.
“Yeah, sure,” you muttered, eyes wide. Your stomach was roiling with nerves. “But what if they don’t?”
You hadn’t meant to ask that, but there was no more filter. Your nerves were chewing through everything, and you were tense.
“They’ll love you,” he repeated, opening the door.
“Katsuki? Is that you?”
Wait.
You knew that voice. And you knew the woman that stepped out of the kitchen.
“Hey! I know you!” you said, smiling at her.
Then you remembered that your probably weren’t making the best first- or was it second?- impression. “It’s very nice to meet you officially ma’am.” You bowed slightly, trying to hide your wince.
“Hah, you already know each other?” Bakugou asked, looking bewildered.
“S-Sort of,” you admitted. “I ran into her when I went shopping the other day. She’s actually the one that suggested this dress to me. I knew you looked familiar,” you murmured, heat staining your cheeks.
“Mitsuki, is that them?”
The man that stepped out looked nothing like his son other than his build. His face had laugh lines and he had a kind smile as he looked at you.
“You must be (Y/L/N),” he said, smiling at you.
You nodded, giving him a shy smile in return. “It’s nice to meet you sir.”
“Oh please, call me Masaru,” he said, walking over to shake your hand. “Nice grip.”
“I mean, hero training does that to a girl,” you said, smiling.
“I’m sure it does, come in, come in,” he offered. “Katsuki hasn’t stopped talking about you!”
“Dad!”
“What?”
“He’s right,” Mitsuki said, watching you. “He hasn’t shut up about you.”
You remembered what Bakugou had said that night as you sat on your bed together.
My mother hated her from the minute I brought her home.
She must’ve been remembering his ex-girlfriend as she looked at you.
“Um, is there anything I can help with?” you inquired, fidgeting with your hands.
“You can help me in the kitchen,” Bakugou said, laying a hand on your back. “I don’t want that hag in there.”
“That’s your mother!” you hissed, poking him in the shoulder. “You should be nice to her. She’s the one you’ll be asking for advice when you’re older.”
“What kinds of advice?” he asked.
“You’re telling me you think you have people figured out like the back of your hand? Or that you think you care for a crying kid?”
“Who brought kids into this?!”
“You’re a hero, idiot! You’re going to have to know how to care for a scared child! You can’t just glare at them until they stop crying!”
“Why not?”
You stared at him, head cocked to the side, trying to figure out if he was serious or not.
“Your paternal instincts must be terrible.”
“Rude!”
“Am I wrong?” you asked as you crossed your arms over you chest, raising an eyebrow at him.
Masaru was chuckling off to the side, arm around his wife as they watched the two of you together.
“They remind me of us when we were younger,” he murmured.
“Pretty sure the roles were reversed though,” she admitted, giving you a small smile.
“C’mon idiot,” Bakugou muttered, pulling you into the kitchen.
Your shoulders slumped as soon as you were out of eyesight. “Do you think they liked me?”
“My father definitely did,” Bakugou said.
“Your mother hates me,” you worried, washing your hands.
“She doesn’t either,” he argued.
“She could barely look at me,” you hissed.
Bakugou frowned, handing you a towel for your hands.
“Thanks. So, what can I do to help?” you asked.
“Cut these up for me,” he said, handing you a couple carrots and some potatoes. “Small cubes.”
“Alright, where are your- knives, aha!” you said, brandishing one, starting to peel the carrots. “Do you guys peel your potatoes or no?”
“Yeah, and use a peeler!”
“No, I work better with a knife,” you told him. “Besides, it’s one less dirty dish.”
“You’re so stubborn.”
“It’s one of the only things we have in common,” you said. “We putting these in pot?”
“Yeah, bottom left cupboard,” he directly as he opened the meet packages. “Hey, snag me a sauce pan.”
“Big or small?”
“Both.”
“Here you go,” you said, handing them to him as you pulled out two pots. “I want to thank you, Bakugou.”
“What for?”
“For . . . giving me a chance I guess,” you said, cutting up the carrot you had just peeled. “I’ve never been ‘that’ girl, you know? I was always that girl where everyone knew I existed, but no one really knew who I was. I was never the girl that everyone wanted to be friends with, never the one who everyone wanted to be with in general. I guess it’s just nice to be wanted, even if it’s just for a little while.”
It was quiet for a long time, and you stopped what you were doing to look over your shoulder at him.
“Bakugou?”
Suddenly his arms were around your waist, crushing you into him.
“Bakugou? Are you okay?” you asked, slowly wrapping your arms around him in return, not entirely sure what was going on.
“I wish you could see yourself the way everyone else sees you,” he whispered, breathing you in.
“Why are you getting all sappy on me now?” you teased, running a hand along the length of his spine, feeling the tension leak out of his shoulders.
“Because you deserve to know how grateful I am for you,” he replied, his arms strong around you.
“You barely knew I existed six months ago. You’ve haven’t even met my parents yet Bakugou,” you said. “How are you so sure?”
“Because of this,” he said, pulling his shirt collar down to show off the tattoo that was right above his heart. Your tattoo.
The tattoo that you both shared.
You had seen it of course, but you had never seen it this closely before.
“It really is the same as mine,” you whispered, touching it lightly, barely registering the fact that he was shivering.
You had spent hours over the course of your life staring at your own tattoo, and this was the exact copy, other than the whorls on ink were softer than they were on yours. Yours were sharper, more defined.
It had stayed black since the festival, you had been checking it every day, just to make sure.
“I mean, you freaked out so much about mine that night, I kinda figured I wasn’t wrong, but . . . they really are the same tattoo,” you marveled, pulling your hand away slowly.
He nodded, tucking your hair behind your ear like he had the other day, making the heat rise to your cheeks again.
“I saw hers,” he admitted. “I knew, I think, in the back of my mind that it didn’t look right, but I was hoping . . . I don’t know.” He frowned, touching the spot on your back where your own Mark resided. “This is definitely right.”
You felt it then, that deep ache that you’d had since first year, that deep ache seemed to disappear from your stomach.
“You’re right, it does,” you murmured, wrapping your arms around him again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“(Y/F/N), can I talk to you for a moment?” Mitsuki asked, poking her head into the kitchen.
“Of course ma’am,” you said, glancing at Bakugou, who nodded.
You put your knife down, following her into the living room.
She sat down on the couch and you took the seat across from her, head bowed.
She was silent for a long time and it made you nervous. Your hands moved in your lap, your thumb rubbing the skin away from your palm.
“Y-You wanted to talk to me, ma’am?” you inquired softly. You had faced down villains, risked your life, and had almost died.
And yet, other than when Bakugou had been taken, this was the most terrifying thing to have happened to you.
“I love my son,” she stated.
“I-I never meant to insinuate that you didn’t.”
“I love my son,” she repeated. “But he’s always been powerful, and power draws in all sorts of people. He’s been the leader of every friend group he’s had for a very long time. He’s been fawned over for most of his life, and I have to say that it’s partially my fault for letting it get as far as it did.”
“Ma’am?”
“My son is an angry person, (Y/F/N), he’s a lot like I was when I was your age. He’s been calmer tonight than he has been in ages. He has never talked about someone as much as he has talked about you in the last few weeks. He seems happy. I wanted to thank you for that.”
“Th-There’s really no need to thank me, ma’am. I like seeing the people around me happy. It makes me happy knowing that I bring peace to people. I never want to be someone that others are afraid of. Even if I wasn’t Bak- Katsuki’s soulmate, I still would’ve tried to help him not be so angry.
“He is an angry person, but I think it’s a defense mechanism. Push others away and hurt them before they can hurt him. I tend to use sarcasm and humor as my own defense, and I used it every time the mentions of soulmates popped up.
“I knew, I knew for over a year that he was my soulmate, and I didn’t do anything because I knew- I thought- that he would be happier with someone else. I thought he was happy with her.
“My Mark was faded for a very long time, but that night, the night of the festival, it was as dark as it had ever been. I thought it would be gone by the night of the festival. I heard that was what happened when soulmates stopped loving each other. Did Baku- did Katsuki show you any of the photos from that night?”
Mitsuki shook her head. “My son is also a very private person, he doesn’t share many things with us.”
“Would you like to see photos? I have some on my phone. There’s a recording from that night too.”
You moved to sit next to her, pulling up the album of photos from that night.
Mitsuki smiled softly as she flipped through the photos, watching the video, her smile growing, stopping on one where your back was on full display.
“I thought the Mark would’ve been almost gone, so I had Momo make some adjustments to my dress, it revealed the Mark more than anything I had ever worn to, or for, school. He had no idea that I had a Mark that matched his until that night. He was really upset when he found out that I had never told him.”
You told her about the game of Never Have I Ever, and then how it had ended between Bakugou and his girlfriend. You spilled everything to her.
She simply sat there and listened, though she did flinch when you told her how faded your Mark had been. She looked close to tears when you showed her the comparison photos you had complied.
“I never planned on telling him about what I was. I thought it would’ve ended things for him. I thought he was going to be miserable with someone like me.” You shrugged. “He was so upset when I told him about it. Well, actually, I told his girlfriend that I had never planned on telling him, but semantic. He’s more than I ever would’ve hoped for, if he’s even interes-”
“He’s more interested in you than I’ve ever seen him,” Mitsuki interrupted, the first time since you had started talking. She had asked for clarification on some things, but this was cutting you off. “My son has never brought home girls before that last bitch, and I could tell what a snake she was from the moment she stepped through the door.”
She glanced at the kitchen door, and you knew she could see her son in there.
“He doesn’t need us anymore, his father and me, I mean. He was always such an independent child.”
“He’s always going to need you,” you assured her. “He’s going to call you when he needs advice on wedding rings, on what diapers to get when he has his first child, what to do when that child starts dating. He’s going to call you every time life becomes a little too much for him and he needs someone with more experience. You’re his mother, he’s always going to need you.”
“You say that like you won’t be there,” Mitsuki said, staring at you.
“What?”
“You said, “when he has his first child’. ‘His’, not ‘our’. You’re talking like you think he’ll do those things with someone else. Someone who isn’t you.”
You blinked at her for a moment before you gave a tense laugh.
“I guess it’s just hard for me to believe that I’m going to be the one he does those things with. I mean, I doubt we’re equal, and he wants someone to be his equal.”
“Trust me sweetheart, he’s going to want to do everything with you, once he gets past the whole emotionally constipated thing,” she said, making you laugh.
“I’ll take your word for it,” you told her, smiling. “Thank you for giving me the chance to explain, ma’am. I know that it’s probably hard for you to trust me after that last girl. I just . . . wanted to tell you that I don’t plan on hurting him. Actually, if it weren’t for the dress, he probably never would’ve figured out we were soulmates.”
“You were seriously never going to tell him?”
“I love your son, and I have for a while,” you admitted quietly. “If he was happy, that was good enough for me. Even if he was happier with someone else.”
“Welcome to the family (Y/F/N),” Mitsuki said, taking your hands in hers.
“Is it safe to enter?” Masaru asked, only half joking.
“It’s safe,” Mitsuki assured them, and both men stuck their heads out.
Bakugou immediately looked at you, concern buried in those eyes.
You smiled at him, letting him know you were okay, your chest warming at the fact that he was worried about you.
“Dinner’s almost ready,” Bakugou said.
“Alright,” Mitsuki said, standing up. “Masaru, come help me set the table.”
As soon as they were gone Katsuki was by your side.
“I heard you guys talking,” he murmured, bumping your hand with his.
“Oh yeah?”
He nodded, lacing your fingers together gently. “You know you can walk away too, right?”
“Why would I want to do that?” you inquired, cocking your head to the side.
“You’re not the only one questioning if we’re equals,” he admitted.
“Do you want to be with me Katsuki?” you asked. “Like, actually be with me?”
“‘Course I do, otherwise I never would’ve brought you home with me,” he said, hand tightening around yours.
“Good, because I want to be with you. Otherwise I never would’ve come home with you,” you told him. “C’mon, let’s join your parents before they think we’re making out somewhere.”
“My parents were right you know,” he said, making you pause. “I didn’t stop talking about you. I feel the same way you do.”
“I’m gonna pull a Denki here and state a random fact. Scientists have figured out that it only takes about four months to fall in love with someone. And that applies to people you don’t even know,” you told him. “So imagine how easy it would have been for us to fall in love when we already know each other.”
You walked into the dining room, sliding into the spot beside Katsuki, since it was the only one that wasn’t taken.
“So, tell us about yourself, (Y/F/N),” Mitsuki said, laying a hand on her husband’s thigh.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Be safe kids!” Masaru called as you and Katsuki headed for the train station.
“We will!” you assured him, smiling. “Do you think they liked me?”
“I think they like you more than they like me,” Katsuki muttered, but you could tell that he was relieved.
“Nah, you’re their son, they’ll always love you more Ka-Bakugou,” you told him, bumping your shoulder with his.
“Did you like them?”
“I think your mother is going to be my new friend,” you told him, smiling up at him.
“Oh fuck, what have I done?” he asked. “You two could end the world.”
“You love us and you know it,” you teased, wrapping your arms around his, laying your head on his shoulder as you walked. “I had a good time tonight Bakugou.”
“Katsuki.”
“Huh?”
“You were gonna call me Katsuki earlier,” he said.
“Yeah, what about it?”
“I wouldn’t mind. If you wanted to call me that around people other than my parents.”
“Are you sure?”
“About as sure as I am of this,” he said, touching the Mark on his chest.
“Drama Queen,” you muttered, cheeks flaring with heat.
He smiled at you, a real smile, and you couldn’t help but smile back at him.
“Are you free next weekend?” he inquired.
“Are you really asking me that?”
“Yes.”
“Then there’s your answer,” you told him.
