A/N They are 23 in this one. 🌺
Bakugo's POV
"Am I too late?" I asked, barely breathing at this point.
"No," then he pulled me into the kiss I've been praying for, for so many years.
How did we get to this point? I swear only a moment ago we were at the dinner party celebrating our advancement through the hero rankings. I'm now number 2 while Deku was 1, so how did we go from eating with friends to this?
Deku was under me, the soft bed in the hotel room gave way, making it difficult to crawl on top of him. So when the kiss ended I quickly stripped my clothes off before climbing over him and pulling him on top of me. His wide green eyes clearly showed shock as he took in our positions. I couldn't help smiling up at him and when he kissed me again I opened for him. The feel of his tongue on mine was doing wonders for me and I was able to let my hands roam free.
Deku still had his boxers and button down shirt on but the way he was currently fighting them certainly didn't leave a bad taste in my mouth. I started unbuttoning his shirt from the bottom and by the time I reached his hands he was finally able to get the stubborn one at the top.
He tried to take the material off but I stopped him. After all, there is something sexy about the way it framed his body. I kissed him again, soft, firm lips opening up to the treasure that was inside. His tongue invaded my mouth while I tried to welcome him in. His boxers disappeared at some point and I lay here feeling vulnerable. He was sitting up and looking down on me, sending an intoxicating shiver through me. His eyes sparked and flashed in the candlelight, drawing me into their depths.
He pulled out the lube before he kissed my knee, "I've waited a long time." He looks like an animal, one that has been starving for far too long and now has a feast in front of him. He was hesitating but at the same time he was keeping me right where he wanted me.
"So have I," I answered, I'm starting to get antsy, he just keeps looking at me and I just want to feel him inside of me, the suspense is killing me.
"Have you ever done this before?" He asked before applying the lube he had warmed in his hands and I let out a noise that was really far too early considering what all I wanted him to do to me.
"Some toys, alone," I started trailing my fingers along his arm, if he can tease me then I can tease him and what better way for that than to make myself feel good?
I let him go and slide my hand across my chest, teasing at a nipple. Maybe I overestimated how much I could actually handle right now because Deku was drinking in the sight of me lightly touching myself. I bit my lower lip to hold in the moans that were right at the surface. I need to calm down or this will all be over far too fast.
"Kacchan? At least for tonight, let me do what I want, when I want? Please?" His eyes were still taking in every slight movement my body did.
"Tonight?" I asked, could I be so lucky for this to last longer? I could smell the sweet smell of wine on his breath, already knowing it was the same as what had been in my cup. A sweet cherry wine with hints of chocolate, sweet and spicy, decadent.
"Tonight," he agreed, still restraining himself. He had applied the lube on thick, any movement caused a slight chill thanks to the little bit of air between us. I nodded, thankful that he didn't force me to say it out loud. Instead his lips crashed against mine, sucking the air from my lungs, leaving me gasping but still pulling him in for more.
I felt him lineup, careful not to miss but the way his lips wouldn't let me go was making it difficult to breathe much less think.
Deku, he's in my arms and attacking every little bit of me that he can reach. When I'm able to get a breath or two I can't help trying to pull his attention back to my mouth again. His kisses drove me wild, my need for attention only growing with every moment.
His tongue back in my mouth, I felt him start to push in. My back arched, his arms pulled me closer, I fell away from his sweet kisses and moaned out my pleasure.
He slowly worked himself in, little by little, pushing in and then pulling out just to push in just a little further again. When he finally managed to get all the way in I was screaming out, clawing up his back and begging for more. He pulled out only to thrust back in and I was done for.
I couldn't let him go, my arms constantly pulling and grabbing at him, I kept going back and forth from trying to feel his tongue against mine only to throw my head back, screaming out in ecstasy.
We came, I came making a mess between us but Deku could care less about that as his thrust seemed to get faster, harder, rougher. And then he came, not bothering to pull out, he filled me, leaving us gasping for air before he could bring himself to pull out.
My body shuddered under him begging for even the smallest touch, just so it didn't have to end quite yet.
It took a little while but once we caught our breath we just laid there looking at each other. Deku started giggling and when I just cocked an eyebrow at him, a sleepy smile on my face already, he giggled some more.
"Remember, you agreed that tonight I could do what I want, when I want?" He looked so sneaky as he eyed me up and down until I nodded. "Good, because tonight isn't over yet."
I felt my eyes widen in surprise only for my smile to land me another kiss.
I wish tonight could last forever.
***
It's been two and a half months since that night. I'm on patrol but I feel sluggish and all around sick to my stomach, I've been getting sick a lot recently. Deku and I ended up spending a week together before he got pulled to do a mission, a long term one. Up until that point, we were just hanging out trying to sleep together but I can't lie that I had feelings for him long before then. It did however piss me off everytime we would start going towards the bedroom only for a villain to show up and we got caught up in work instead.
I need to get myself together! But memories of what Deku said when I saw him off at the airport keep replaying in my head;
"When I come back in a few months maybe we can do more than just sleep together?" His nervous smile was playing a dangerous rhythm in my heart.
"I wasn't looking for a fuck buddy," I whispered in his ear so that the other heroes in the hero lounge wouldn't hear me. I stayed where I was though and turned my head enough to graze his cheek with the tip of my nose. "But I won't push you," I took a step back but I could easily see what I had done to him. His body rigid, and his breathing shallow. However he did seem to pull himself together quickly.
"Let's go out for dinner, when I get back. A nice one?" His eyes sparkling, heaven's above he just might end me with how cute he is right now.
"As soon as you get home in a few months," I agreed with a small smile on my face before we heard his flight being called and he picked up his luggage and left. He kept turning around so I could easily see that smile on his face, the smile only someone who has won everything could have.
But here I am, now trying to calm my racing heart, alone in the middle of the night. Last week I had gotten word that Deku's assignment had been extended and that he wouldn't be coming home for several more months yet, some even say that it was originally a five year mission but no one would agree to take it. I let out a sigh before turning around and going back to the office.
I'll wait. Not much else I could do anyway.
I have a doctor's appointment in the morning, I can't seem to get rid of this sluggish, drowsy fog that I've been in for over a month now. Whatever, I'll just finish my paperwork tonight. I have the next couple days off anyway.
***
"Congratulations, you're pregnant," the doctor smiled at me and I felt my jaw drop.
"I'M A MAN!" I screamed at him and he waved me off and I sat back down to listen to what nonsense he was about to spew.
"Thanks to the evolution of quirks we have found that around 25% of men can become pregnant and from what our studies have found there is a chance that it is actually more than that," I stared at him in disbelief and he let out a sigh before telling me to lay back and he would show me.
I pulled up my shirt, my now less than rock hard abs now had a layer of fluff on it, was bare as he put some cold gel on it and then a wand of some kind. He found what he was looking for and turned the monitor to show me not one but two little forms and I just couldn't breathe.
"And twins at that. You are very lucky," the doctor chuckled. "Looks like you measure about 9 weeks and 3 days along, not bad at all. It tends to take longer to determine pregnancy with men than women because most doctors just don't think about it." The doctor went on and on but after the gel was cleaned off of me I couldn't help myself from cradling my stomach.
I am pregnant. I hugged myself, almost in a daze but I took all the information that he could give me and set up my next appointment. Almost without thinking I went to the pharmacy and picked up my prescription, prenatal vitamins, and a few other things that he said I would need. I went to headquarters and went to Deku's handler.
"I need to contact him, it's an emergency," I demanded, closing the door behind me.
"Young Bakugo," All Might sighed and I sat down in front of him carefully.
"It can't wait." I waited but he let out a sigh.
"I won't be able to do this again. He only gets one emergency call during a mission like this," he warned me but I just nodded in agreement, staying silent. Whatever was going through his head he seemed to start to panic and quickly made some phone calls before he was finally connected.
"Hello?" The voice that I've missed for far too long filled the room. Unfortunately the call had to be on speakerphone but at least the only other person in the room was All Might.
"Deku you," I paused for a moment but then continued. "You got someone pregnant. They plan to keep them but don't feel like you are being forced to be a part of their lives. They won't hold you back no matter what you decide. But you should know," What more could I say? Am I forgetting anything? I don't think so. Did I say anything wrong or badly? I can't tell.
"You-" I could hear his shock but there was a crash and the line went dead. Looks like I won't be able to hear his answer until he comes back. I could feel my eyes tearing up but I hid it from All Might who was currently shocked silent.
I left the room after reminding him that he wasn't authorized to tell anyone what was said and he face palmed. Sucks to be him, I know that he has more than a crush on Aunty but he can't even tell her because as far as he knows, nothing has been confirmed.
I then went to my supervisor's office, Best Jeanist, all the old farts work part time pushing papers now. I requested paperwork and then filled it out with the attached doctor's note confirming what I was claiming. I'm pregnant. It feels so unreal and yet here I am. Pregnant.
I saw him look over the paperwork and when he looked back up I could almost feel the judging eyes staring through me.
"It appears that congratulations are in order," he sat back as if expecting me to explain everything but all I could do was look down.
I looked down at the hand currently resting on my stomach, when did I do that? How long have I been cuddling my stomach like this? I could feel a small smile form on my lips, even now I am happy. I never once thought that I would have children one day, I've always known that I was gay, girls never once interested me. But the thought of having a baby?
I smile bigger still holding my stomach but rubbing it slightly as I do. "Thank you." Two small words but I can't stop the bubbling of emotions rising inside of me. I felt something slide down my face and when I reached up I found tears? I am smiling and yet I'm crying at the same time.
The shock in Best Jeanist's eyes spoke volumes but he got up and sat next to me, handing me a box of tissues while slowly rubbing my back. I didn't get mad, I'm just too overwhelmed to get mad. I'm happy but I'm sad. I'm scared but determined and I just don't know what I'm supposed to do next.
Thanks to Pro Hero guidelines, now that I know that I'm pregnant I can't work. I am immediately on medical leave but what do I do now?
"I couldn't even hear his answer," I sobbed, before laughing. "I told him but when he tried to answer the line was cut before he could finish the first word. I've waited months to even hear his voice and I was only able to hear a word and a half. It's fucking pathetic. It's not like I expected him to drop the mission and come running to me or anything. I just wanted to hear his answer!" I kept sobbing and the longer Best Jeanist stayed silent the more I cried.
"I didn't know there was a hero you respected around your age," he finally commented and I started laughing bitterly.
"I didn't let some perverted old man touch me," I could hear the insanity in my words but that didn't stop Best Jeanist from denying it, saying that wasn't what he meant. Why am I sitting here crying? Why am I dumping everything out into the open? To him of all people?
"It's Deku," I whispered but I felt him flinch at the words, his hand still on my back. "The night that we were moved up in the rankings, we had some wine, not nearly enough to get a buzz off of but enough to relax us. I admitted that I had feelings for him and one thing led to another until we were in a hotel." I let my shoulders slump, it's not like I want to hide him. The opposite actually.
"I just came from All Might's office, I was careful not to say it was me but Deku knows. I just wanted to hear him say what he felt. Is he happy? Angry? Just surprised? I sure as fuck was. I screamed at the doctor telling him I was a man only for him to tell me it was still true. What if he doesn't want anything to do with them? What if he doesn't want anything to do with me?" I started breaking down again.
"Do you really think Deku would leave you like this?" He asked carefully and I laughed almost hysterically.
"No, he will stay no matter how much he hates it. He would probably run directly to the courthouse to try and get us married, regardless of how he feels. But that's not what I want. I want to know what he feels. Does he feel guilty? I chose on my own to keep them." I looked down at my stomach again and smiled, gently rubbing my hand over them. "Twins, I'm having two babies, not one. I didn't even get to tell him that. All he knows is that I'm pregnant." I could feel silent tears trailing down my face.
Best Jeanist did what he could for me, which was really nothing but let me cry. When I was finally done he went around his desk before pulling out some wet wipes and handing me the package, "They help a lot when trying to hide the fact you've been crying." I nodded before taking a couple and cleaning myself up.
"So what do you plan to do now? What do you need me to do?" I looked up surprised but he just waited while I thought. Never trying to rush me either.
What do I do now? "I'll go home. To my parents house, but what should I do about Deku's Mom? I can't hide the fact that I'm pregnant from her and the fact that they are her grandbabies? I can't do that to her." He nodded in agreement but didn't push one way or the other, letting me just think.
"I'll figure that part out after I get there. I'll call movers to empty my place tomorrow, my lease ends at the end of the month anyway. I'll go home for now. I don't want any of our coworkers to know until I know how Deku feels about it. I don't want him forced into anything. As is I'll probably have to fight him off just to maybe hear what he actually wants. If he doesn't WANT to be a part of their lives, I understand. Aunty won't let him get too far from them and his sense of justice won't allow him to even try."
"What if he is happy about all of this? What if he does want it?" He asked and I could feel my heart ache at the thought.
"I don't think there could be a luckier person. I've loved him for a long time. Shit, your face says just how much you believe that, but it's true." I let out a sigh, ignoring how he fixed his collar so I wouldn't be able to see his face like that again. "I already know that I don't deserve him. You don't even know half of it. But I didn't trick him or drag him to bed. I told him how I felt, I was ready for him to walk away, hit me or even laugh but instead he kissed me. I don't regret that night. If I knew it was possible to get pregnant I would have insisted on condoms but I don't regret any of it. If nothing else I'll still have these two little gifts."
"I never knew you could talk like that," his words kind of stung a bit.
"Believe it or not. I'm not some unfeeling monster," I huffed, irritated. Deku would understand, Deku would know exactly what I mean and I wouldn't have to spend forever trying to figure out how to put it into words. "I miss Deku." Best Jeanist patted me on the back and after making sure that my face was cleaned up he agreed to tell anyone looking for me that I was on a mission.
"They don't need to know that it's a personal mission," he shrugged and I actually fucking smiled a little before nodding in agreement. Then I went home to pack. I packed everything I could before going to my favorite diner and getting my usual. It was called the Dynamight Special. It has some spinach leaves but mostly every pepper imaginable with grated cheese, chopped onion, avocado and a vinaigrette drizzled on top. Needless to say I think I'm the only one that ever orders it.
The waitress arrives and starts nitpicking that I'm too skinny and need some meat on my bones. I look down and the thought of my order not being good for my babies makes me feel hollow.
"What do you recommend then?"
Her eyes flashed with excitement that I was actually willing to listen for once. "Baked fish or grilled chicken and a bowl of fruit. A glass of milk or even a milkshake to help settle the stomach and prevent ulcers. She rattled off a few things that I should add to my "salad" and I just nodded listening. Honestly it sounds kind of good.
"Okay, but just today. I'll be leaving for a while anyway," she started skipping away bragging about how SHE got THE Dynamight to listen to her as she left. The food was good and thanks to me looking up stuff on my phone it will probably be the last time I have it until the twins are born but they need to be healthy. I can do this for them.
This is going to be a long pregnancy. I wish Deku was here.
***
"AAAHAHHAHHA!" The scream was ripping through me as I tried to bare through the pain. It's too early. I'm only 30 weeks along, they can't come out yet. Curses were coming out of me like air but my hag was next to me holding my hand, keeping calm.
"It feels like they are trying to rip me apart to get out," I lay there gasping, finally getting a break from contractions.
"Now you know how it feels. Relax while you can. I heard the doctors say that these are just Braxten Hicks so they aren't coming today," Mom wiped some sweat from my forehead, it didn't seem to actually help at all because I could still feel it trickling down my neck. Aunty on my other side holding my hand. Dad was doing what he could, which was a whole lot of nothing. He was on the phone with work and I heard him curse at them asking what they expected when they called him at the hospital?
The doctor came in and reassured me that yes my mother heard correctly. The babies are not done growing and still have a while left to go.
"At least five more weeks. The longer they stay the better but at least five more weeks. You need to relax more, I don't know what you are doing to stress out the babies but it needs to end. I'm putting you on bed rest for the remainder of your pregnancy," He wrote some things down for the women around me. When my parents and Aunty stepped out he let out a sigh.
"Look, I know that you are a high stress kind of guy. Who doesn't know of Dynamight? But if you don't relax the babies will be the ones hurt from it," he must have seen the look of horror on my face because he nodded. The door to my room was still open and I could see Aunty talking to someone but the doctor grabbed my attention again. "Go home, grab your lover and have some sex after they settle down. I'm not above writing it as a prescription either. Sex won't hurt them and it will do wonders for relaxing you both physically and mentally."
I could feel how beet red my face was and the heat was only rising the more he talked. He laughed at me before getting serious again. "I mean it, stay in bed. The ONLY exercise you should be getting should be coming with a back rub."
Fuck I'm going to die from embarrassment, "What kind of doc-tor are you?" My voice broke but I've been screaming from the pain for too long for it not to at this point.
"The good kind. I'll go get your discharge papers filled out," he laughed again before standing up and turning to leave.
"Oh, Sir this room is taken I'm afraid you'll have to leave," I looked up confused until I saw Deku standing there, ignoring my doctor completely, just staring at me.
He walked forward and gently caressed my face, I couldn't stop myself from leaning into his palm, happiness and fear shooting through me at seeing him at long last.
"Deku," I relaxed at his touch and I could see his green energy crackling around him for a moment before he snapped out of it and hugged me.
"Kacchan," he pulled away and I could see that he was holding himself back and it was obviously hurting him but all the same he kept his distance. "I really want to kiss you," my eyes snapped up to look at his begging face and I couldn't stop the smile on mine.
"Then kiss me," the words were barely out when his lips came crashing down, both of his hands tangled in my hair while I reached up and tried to pull him closer, the smooth skin of his neck under my fingers.
Our lips separated but we stayed where we were, our foreheads pressed against each other, the fear that if I let him go I would wake up from this dream. Tears started flowing down my face. Deku wiped them away for me, how he wasn't grossed out by all the sweat was beyond me but damn. It feels good to feel his gentle touch again.
"Shh, shh, shh. It's okay, I'm home now," he whispered, kissing my forehead as he held me. "I'm staying. No one could pry me away from you two." He grabbed some tissues from nearby and ever so softly wiped away the sweat so he could kiss me again.
Laughter bubbled out of me and I kissed his confused face. "Nerd, we are having twins." His eyes grew wide and the smile on his face with it.
"Twins?" He turned his attention to my large belly and I took his hand and put it on me. Right where the little devils were kicking up a fuss.
"A boy and a girl, I haven't been able to pick any names. I wanted you to help, I know it's selfish but-" He leaned down and kissed me interrupting what I was saying but the smile on his face was bigger than any I have ever seen before.
"Let's go home. I heard the doctor give some very interesting orders," Deku's smile turned evil and I couldn't help how fucking red I got. I heard some snickering and when I looked up I saw our parents in the doorway.
"Izuku! It's about time you came home," Aunty scolded him but she had a sly smile that was making me nervous. "As it happens Mitsuki and I need to go grocery shopping and Masaru needs to go back to work. You're just in time to take care of poor Katsuki." I have a very bad feeling.
We were quickly discharged, my doctor muttering about how amazing it was that not only is he delivering the pro hero Dynamight's babies but also Deku's. He was practically glowing as we left. I was able to take a bath and the twins finally settled down, letting me relax. I have to wonder if the fact their father being so close had anything at all to do with that. It's probably just in my head but still, it's nice to have him home again.
When we were finally alone, Deku laid down next to me, his overly sweet smile trained on my stomach as he felt them kicking. I just watched while he talked to them. His voice, whispering words of love to the unborn children and putting my heart at ease.
"So are you happy?" I tried to ask in a way that wouldn't send him spinning in a never ending cycle of doubt.
"So happy, I didn't know you could have babies," He looked up into my eyes, his eyes shining beautifully.
"Yeah. I almost killed that doctor when he told me. I thought he was making a bad joke," I looked down at my oversized belly and let out a sigh, gently rubbing it. "But they are real, do you want to see their ultrasounds? I have another one in two weeks?" The pure joy he was radiating was almost enough for me to stop questioning him but it's not the same.
"What were you going to say? The day I called you," I kept my eyes trained on the ultrasound on top. The one from the day I found out I was pregnant.
"I was so surprised, I blurted out, 'You're pregnant?' So loud that the villains I was trying to befriend heard me," he started laughing before he kissed my stomach, looking up so that he could see my face. "Believe it or not, that actually put the mission on a fast track. They didn't believe a pro hero would go undercover if they were expecting a baby."
"They're not wrong, I wouldn't have gone if I knew there was even a small chance," He cuddled my stomach, smiling up at me before kissing it again. "I still wish I hadn't, look how big they've gotten! I wish I would have been here to see it all," he was flipping through the ultrasounds still holding onto me.
"You don't feel trapped?" I asked, holding my breath while I waited on an answer. He froze his movements before slowly looking back at me. His already soft eyes widened and I didn't understand why until he reached up and wiped at my eyes. "Fuck, I'm crying again," I cursed myself for being so weak. Why can't things work out the way I want them too?
"You are anything but weak, Kacchan. You've waited so long, been so strong, I know I'm late but I'm here now. Will you let me stay?" His words were so soft and sweet, he wiped my tears away gently.
"You don't want to run?" I couldn't help how raspy my voice came out but he just shook his head no before pulling himself up to me and wrapping his arms around me, one above my belly the other below before he rested his face against my neck.
"Never, I know it's silly but I feel safer now," I jerked at the ridiculousness of his words but he just chuckled before continuing on. "I know, it's just that now I don't feel like if I blink you'll disappear. Dear God, I love the feeling of you in my arms." He gave me a slight squeeze, careful not to hurt me and I finally relaxed again.
"You know I'm still going to take that number 1 hero spot when I return to work in a couple years?" I teased him, finally smiling.
"I look forward to it," he kissed on my neck, sending a shock through my body, reminding me clearly of what the doctor told me to do when the babies calmed down. I could feel my face heating up a little when a little moan escaped me. Deku's lips still teasing my neck, hadn't stopped at the sound.
"Deku~?" I tried to ask but the hand he had over my belly had slid up and was now teasing my chest.
"Just tell me to stop, I'll do it. Tell me anything you want, I'll do my best," he whispered in my ear before he bit at my earlobe. "Anything."
I must be insane, I haven't seen him in months. I'm 30 weeks pregnant and now all of a sudden all I want is to feel his love. "Make love to me," I whispered, half hoping he would do it and half hoping he didn't hear me.
"Your wish is my command," What the hell? How long has he had a boner? I could feel him against my back but instead of just stripping us and trying to thrust into me, he was slowly trailing kisses and caressing my body. Our clothes were slowly shed and he kissed, sucked, and gently bit me all over. He sucked me into his mouth, not even attempting to pull away before I came, only to rile me up more.
"I love you," I heard him whisper over and over again, when I couldn't take it anymore I rolled onto my side and he cuddled me before asking if it was alright to come in now.
"If you don't I just might explode something," I cooed in response, his gentle loving never seeming to end. The lube was cold but his body was so hot, his shaft slowly pushing in, remembering the rhythm of our first night I rocked in time with him. Spooning, I like this. The way his strong arms held me close, supporting me in every way, my head turned so that his delicious lips were tasting mine as our bodies moved, sending tidal waves of pleasure coursing through us. The high of our orgasm slowly faded away as I laid in his arms and I feel so much better now.
"Kacchan?" Deku hesitated after he had been carefully sliding his hand up and down my body for a while. I hummed sleepily, cozy as I snuggled into my lover. "I don't want to rush anything but could you please consider marrying me?" My eyes snapped open and the fears I had confessed to Best Jeanist were now at the forefront of my mind.
"You don't have too, I know how amazing you are. You don't need me but," Deku was starting to fumble with his words and it was getting harder to hear him. "I really do love you. I have for as long as I can remember but..." he trailed off muttering about how useless he was. He was really laying into himself for different things that really didn't matter but somehow made him worthless.
I'm a jackass. A stupid, hormonal jackass. All this time I thought I had somehow forced him into all of this but that night all I did was tell him I loved him. And he kissed me. We talked and laughed and kissed more until when we were walking home we found ourselves outside of that hotel.
He wanted us just as much as I did, I certainly didn't make these babies by myself.
"Deku," I interrupted and he snapped out of his muttering. When he looked up I kissed him, wrapping my arms around him as best as I could with my large stomach between us. "Yes, but I need a proper proposal when you're ready and I don't want to still be pregnant when that happens."
His whole face lit up and he agreed faster than I thought was possible. I was so sure that he would want to get married before the twins were born, but I don't want to be huge when I say, I do.
"Oh HELL NO!" We both jumped when our mothers came bursting through the door. It was Aunty and she looked livid. "I have waited long enough, you two can have your ceremony whenever you want but these babies deserve a good stable home!"
My hag actually defended us and was pulling her out of the room, "Inko they are grown up now. Besides they are already making plans to get married, give them time."
What the actual hell is going on here? I mean I knew Aunty was taking this really well this whole time but I didn't think she was that stressed out over it.
"They aren't even living together, Mitsuki! How can you say that when they aren't even living together?" Aunty demanded and suddenly there was a gush of air and both women were knocked off balance enough to fall out of my doorway. Deku slammed the door shut before they could get back up and see him hiding his body behind only a pillow, locking the door before coming back to me.
"Sorry, Mom has been waiting for us to get together since highschool," he tried to explain. "She kind of found my journal while we were at camp and well, yeah..."
He climbed back into bed slowly, almost like he was afraid that I would kick him out but instead I pulled the cover back to give him room behind me and he was cuddled up to me again.
"You know she is right about one thing though?" He hesitated again but he seems much more confident than earlier.
"What's that?" I smiled at him, already comfortable in his arms.
"We should live together," I could hear the smile in his voice as if he had somehow found the answer to life itself. "If you agree I can find a house big enough for all of us. We should probably find one with enough room for our parents to stay in, then they can help with the twins and maybe stay out of our hair a little while we get more comfortable with each other?" He slid a hand along my side and there was no mistaking what he meant by that.
"Hmm," I pretended to be thinking really hard about it but his smile didn't even flinch, he knew I was teasing him. So I smiled really wide and slowly turned so I was on my back again. "Why don't we get more comfortable with each other now? It will make moving a little less stressful," I trailed my fingers along his neck before I lost focus, his lips against mine while our tongues swirled around each other, making me thank God that the hag soundproofed my room when I was six.
It was much later when we were house hunting on our phones when we booked a realtor and gave a list of our wants for the house, leaving the budget open. Of course we don't want to overspend but over the last five years of working as the top heroes and recently as the number 1 and 2 heroes, even with me on medical leave, we weren't short on funds.
It wasn't until morning and after a shower that we went downstairs and talked to our families about our plans. They were especially happy with how we planned to have rooms for them as well and agreed that it was for the best.
"Oh, but a couple extra bedrooms for more grandbabies," Aunty beamed, you would have never known that she was screeching like a crazy person about us getting married just last night. I let out a sigh but before I could say anything Deku spoke up.
"Mom, we love you very much but how big our family gets is something Kacchan and I should talk about by ourselves. It's nice that you want to be supportive but what if something terrible happens and it's not an option later? He is already very stressed out without you adding to it," Deku is a literal angel. I really don't know how it took this long for me to get my shit together. "But having said that we might end up having a lot of kids, are you sure you would be able to handle that?" Nevermind, he is a demon.
"Maybe you should get pregnant if you think it's so easy," I glared at him but he pouted, surprising me.
"I got a quick test done while we were waiting for you to get discharged yesterday. I cannot give birth, I really wanted to too." He looked like a puppy that had been kicked. Okay maybe I was a little touchy but this is still not fair.
"I want lemon ice cream and jalapeno poppers, hot cocoa and oatmeal cookies," I said instead, letting the cravings take over. I just might be sick if I don't eat something soon. "And my grapes, now."
My hag pulled out the green grapes and a lemon and cut them in half before squeezing the half lemon on top, mixing them in the bowl before pushing it over to me. The sweet, sour green apple taste fills my mouth and instantly settles my stomach.
"I'll go and buy the other things," Deku kissed my cheek. "Text me if you want anything else." He helped me back to bed, carrying the bowl as he did. When we were alone he locked the door before asking, "Do you need anything else before I leave?" Damn, if I knew he was going to be this horny I would have tried to pull him back to bed sooner.
"Yes," I pulled my shirt off, struggling a little until he helped me and I was lost in his affection all over again.
Somehow, I'm not afraid anymore. Not with him by my side.
