katsuki turns around the laptop monitor towards your end of the couch, his eyebrows drawn together. on the screen, your almost-finished book is opened, scrolled down to a random section. you've been working on it for two years now, and it's in its final stages, so you figured your boyfriend should have a sneak-peek before its publication, just to see what he thinks. the easily-irritated pro hero glances at you, then at the screen, as if he's putting pieces together.
"you said the main character's like you." he states bluntly, repeating something you'd told him once.
"mhm." you nod. he looks so domestic right now, wearing a compression shirt and sweatpants, your legs splayed over his lap, his hair just slightly mussed from bed. his fingers flex over your ankle, promise ring gleaming. it's silver, one you picked out. you wonder when it'll be replaced by the real thing.
"the love interest." he adds. "he seems familiar."
you raise an eyebrow. "he does?"
"yeah." he says gruffly. "short temper. blonde. " he glances at the screen, reading off of it. "a scar stretching across his right cheekbone. he smells like caramel, like he's explosive but sweet and soft inside."
your cheeks heat. "and what of it?"
the tips of katsuki's ears are red. "the book also says that he's your- her- husband."
you grin. "...and?"
he groans, setting aside your laptop and crawling up until he's face to face with you. he squeezes your cheeks together with one hand so your lips are pouting. his crimson eyes meet yours, pupils dilated in a way that delights you. you love teasing him like this- drawing out this side of him that's flustered and awkward and sweet. he kisses you so hard you need to pull away to breathe, one hand on the nape of your neck, pulling you closer so you're seated on his lap, your legs on the sides of his hips. he positions it so his back is pressed against the sofa and your chest is pressed to his.
"dumbass." he mutters under his breath. "gonna be the death of me. you know everyone's gonna read this?"
"i do," you say, cheeks heating at the way his thumb traces your cheekbone, the seam of your mouth. you swallow before you go on, feeling the way you did when you told him you loved him the first time. "i wanted them to know how much you matter to me. that you're my love interest in every universe."
he's so flustered he can't meet your gaze. you know he's not one for saccharine-sweet words or overly-lovey-dovey gestures, but despite that, he kisses you again, this time sweeter and longer, tasting of mint and caramel and his morning coffee.
Katsuki had told himself he wouldnāt cryāthat heād stand tall at the altar, grin like an idiot when you came down the aisle. But the second those doors creaked open, all his resolve went to hell.
Awās rippled through the room as people stood, a soft melody beginning to play, but he barely heard a note of it. The world blurred at the edges, colors and faces dissolving into nothing until there was only you. Framed in the doorway, you looked untouchableāholy. Light spilled across your figure, catching on the lace of your dress, the delicate sweep of your train, and with every step forward, it dragged him deeper under, until even breathing felt impossible.
The dressāthe one youād been so strict about hiding from him until this very momentāwas more perfect than anything his imagination had dared conjure. White lace spilled into a soft, princess-like poof around your frame, the long train unfurling behind you like a ribbon of light. The off-the-shoulder neckline melted seamlessly into embroidered sleeves, each stitch glimmering in the glow, turning you into something unreal, something divine.
Katsukiās jaw tightened, the muscle ticking as his vision blurred, hot tears stinging despite every ounce of his stubborn will. Your eyesāso stunning, sparkling like starsālocked onto his, brimming with the same glossy ache that burned in his own. And then you smiled at him. Just one small, radiant curve of your lipsāand it was over. His heart gave out right there, hammering so loud in his chest it drowned out the world, leaving only you.
The aisle stretched long, but you made it feel endless and fleeting all at once. Every step you took, the soft swish of your gown following behind you, wound him tighter. The sound of your heels against the floor, steady and certain, marked the rhythm of his heartbeat. Guests rose to their feet, but he barely noticedāthe only thing that mattered was the way your gaze never wavered, locked onto his as though the two of you were the only people in the room.
A tear slipped down the hero's face as you neared him, each step tugging at his chest until it was hard to breathe. The world seemed to shrink with every click of your heels, every sway of lace and silk trailing behind you until finallyāfinallyāyou were right there in front of him. Close enough that he could see the faint shimmer of your makeup, the soft rise and fall of your chest as you held yourself together, even as your lips curved in that small, steady smile meant only for him.
Mina appeared at your side, her grin watery but bright as she reached out to gently take your bouquet. The gesture left your hands freeāfree to lift, to reach for him. Katsuki let out a shaky breath the moment your fingers brushed his, the sound almost a sigh of relief, raw and unguarded. His palms burned, not from nerves, but from the sheer, aching need to touch you, to claim the reality that you were here, his.
The instant your hands were in his, he held them like they were the most sacred thing in the worldāfirm, steady, but reverent, thumbs brushing over your knuckles as if memorizing the moment by touch alone. His chest rose and fell sharply, lips parting as though he might speak, but no words came. Only the ragged thrum of his heartbeat, written across his trembling breath, as he looked at you like you were his entire universe standing there in white.
āHi, handsome,ā you cooed softly, the words a gentle balm, breaking through the tension with warmth that wrapped right around his heart.
You were going to kill him before he even said his vows.
Katsuki took you in, every detail like it was etched into his soulāthe lace, the light in your eyes, your hair all styled and framing your face perfectly, the way you looked at him like he was something more than he ever thought he could be. His throat bobbed, lips twitching into the faintest, wobbly smirk as he murmured back, rough but full of love, āHey, pretty.ā
And after the words left his mouthā for a moment, the world really did fall silentāno crowd, no music, no weight of the ceremony. Just the two of you, standing there with hearts laid bare, his hands aching to hold you, his chest aching from how much love it held.
And Katsuki swore, right then, if he hadnāt already, heād spend the rest of his life proving he deserved the way you were looking at him now.

In Japan, itās July 23!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SASUKE-KUN!
Sasuke is my favorite male character from Naruto.
From the beginning, Iāve always understood your motivations and your frustrations.
He lost his clan, his family and then lost his brother. And I can not even imagine how much I have suffered from it. Sasuke has gone through too many things. He was overcome by hatred and thirst for revenge, all for not knowing the true story behind the massacre of his clan. Can you imagine how painful his life must have been?
I know that nothing justify the bad things he did, the people he hurt and made cry, but deep down, I always knew he had a good heart in the end. And this has been confirmed. Sasuke has now found happiness, has formed a family and Iām sure he is very grateful for this. My baby deserves all the love and happiness is the world.
synopsis: where your husband, katsuki, has a way of calming your daughter like no one else can.
pairing: timeskip!bakugou katsuki x f!reader
katsukiās ability to calm your daughter is nothing short of magical.
it doesnāt matter how fussy or inconsolable she gets; the moment he holds her, everything changes.
her tiny fists are no longer clenched in frustration, her loud cries slowly taper off, and her little body relaxes in his arms. his presence soothes her in a way no one elseās can.
youāve lost count of how many times youāve been at the end of your rope, trying everything you can think of to calm her.
youāve rocked her gently, hummed her favorite lullaby, even tried a little soft talking, but nothing works.
when your babyās tears start to escalate, and her little body trembles in distress, you find yourself on the edge of exhaustion.
but then katsuki walks in.
he steps over to you, and with a quick kiss to the top of your head, scoops her from your arms, then instantly, the tension in the room lifts.
his rough hands gently cradle her, and he murmurs something too quiet for you to catch.
you canāt help but watch in awe as she goes from wailing to calm in just a few seconds, her little face nuzzling against his chest. itās like a switch flips, and you swear you can see her sigh in relief.
itās always the same. as soon as katsukiās around, she settles. she looks at him with a calmness thatās impossible to ignore, her tiny lips pouting slightly as she stares up at him.
her little hands grasp weakly at his shirt, her body relaxing into his hold as if everything is suddenly right with the world. and katsuki just holds her, always.
āyouāre a softie,ā you tease one day as you watch him rock her back and forth.
katsuki shoots you a glare, but itās softened by the sight of your daughter curled peacefully in his arms. āshut up,ā he mutters, but thereās no real heat behind it. and you canāt help but smile.
you cross the room, leaning in to plant a kiss on his cheek. he stiffens for a moment, but the warmth in his eyes tells you everything you need to know.
āIām serious,ā you say. āyouāre the softest guy I know.ā
he lets out a gruff chuckle, his scowl deepening, though it's clear he's enjoying your attention as he places a gentle kiss on your forehead.
a few weeks later, youāre all at a class 1-a reunion, gathered at the old dorms. the atmosphere is lively, with the familiar banter of your old classmates filling the air.
midoriyaās sitting on the couch, holding your daughter carefully in his arms, cooing softly at her as the rest of the group laughs and talks around them.
but suddenly, the peaceful mood shifts. your girl begins to fidget in midoriyaās arms, her little face scrunching up in that all-too-familiar way before the whimpers start.
a soft cry escapes her lips, and then it builds, escalating into the full-blown wail you know so well. midoriya looks startled, glancing around as if searching for some way to calm her.
āuh, uh, itās okay,ā midoriya says, trying to gently rock her in his arms. āitās okay, sweetheart."
but your babyās cries only seem to grow louder, her face turning red as her hands flail helplessly. you glance at katsuki, already knowing whatās coming next.
without a word, katsuki stands up from his seat, the others giving him a bit of space as he walks over.
his eyes lock on your daughter, and thereās something about his gaze that makes everything else fade into the background. heās not rushing, not frantic.
he just calmly steps in, his arms outstretched.
midoriya silently hands the little girl over. as soon as katsuki has her, everything shifts. he holds her against his chest, and his rough hand gently pats her back.
his thumb brushes against her little arm, his voice soft. āitās me,ā he murmurs, his tone low and steady. āitās okay.ā
your little girl hiccups, her cries fading almost immediately, and then she stops. her lips jut out in a pout, still a little upset, but no longer in distress.
she stares up at him, her wide eyes searching his face as if recognizing him. and then, she settles into the crook of his arm, her tiny hands grasping weakly at the fabric of his shirt.
the room is silent for a moment, everyone watching in awe as your girl rests peacefully in katsukiās arms. he doesnāt even seem to notice the attention.
his focus is entirely on her, his expression softening as she calms.
you smile to yourself, watching him from the sidelines. even after all this time, katsuki never ceases to surprise you with how much heās grown, how much heās learned.
you remember when he first found out he was going to be a father, and how nervous heād been (though he would never admit that).
but now, here he is, effortlessly calming your daughter.
āman, youāre a real softie now, huh?ā kirishima teases from across the room, a wide grin plastered on his face.
katsukiās eyes narrow immediately, and he glares at his friend. āshut the hell up, red.ā
but the teasing doesnāt stop there.
kaminari, whoās been silently watching the entire scene, leans forward with a smirk. āI canāt believe itā¦the āexplosion heroā is actually the baby whisperer now?ā
katsuki frowns, and his glare remains trained on the two of them. but thereās a slight restraint in his movementsāone thatās only noticeable to you.
heās trying to stay calm, and itās all because he doesnāt want to wake your little girl up. you can practically feel the tension in the air as his patience wears thin.
sero, naturally, chimes in with a smirk of his own. āIāve gotta hand it to you, man. I never thought Iād see the day when youād be āawwāing over a baby like some mushy ball of fluff.ā
katsukiās mouth opens, ready to fire back, but then he glances down at your sleeping daughter, her little chest rising and falling peacefully, and he shuts it again.
for a split second, his fierce expression softens. he takes a deep breath, holding the baby a little tighter.
āyouāre lucky sheās asleep, or I would've blasted your asses to oblivion,ā he grumbles, but the threat is half-hearted.
kaminari lets out a nervous laugh. ājeez, man, alright, we get it.ā
you canāt help but chuckle softly, leaning against the doorframe as you watch them.Ā
katsukiās eyes narrow in warning, but despite his frown, thereās a warmth to his expression that doesnāt go unnoticed when he looks back at d/n.
itās moments like these when the rest of the world seems to disappear, and it's just him, her, and the quiet calm they share.
sighing in resignation, he shifts slightly, walking over to you. you watch as he makes his way across the room, still cradling your daughter in his arms, her tiny hands gripping his shirt as she drifts into a deeper sleep.
you donāt say anything at first, but as he gets closer, you meet his gaze with a soft smile.
thereās no denying the softening effect he has when itās just the two of youāwell, the three of you, if you count the tiny bundle in his arms.
he leans into you as he steps to your side, his broad shoulders brushing against yours, and without a word, he tilts his head slightly toward you, seeking the quiet comfort of being beside you.
āI told them to shut up,ā katsuki mutters, his voice lower now, quieter. his usual fiery energy is subdued, and he seems content to just be in your presence.
he exhales slowly, letting the weight of the situation fade away. you reach up and gently touch his arm, a soft laugh escaping you.
"she's lucky youāre her dad," you murmur, your eyes flickering down to where your daughter is curled against his chest. "youāre so patient with her."
katsuki scoffs lightly, rolling his eyes, but the smile tugging at his lips betrays his true feelings.
āIām not some damn pushover,ā he mutters, but thereās a softness in his tone that makes you want to kiss him.
i am having a rough mental health day so hereās some christmas bakugo fluff
āmina, if you sing that song one more time I swear to god Iām going toāā
ākats!ā you hiss, tugging his sleeve.
he harrumphs. āwhat? itās annoying me.ā
kirishima laughs from the kitchen, pointing at katsuki, who is standing in front of the christmas tree with his arms crossed.
āeverything annoys you.ā
katsuki rolls his eyes, and you canāt help but let out a small giggle as you watch him. heās wearing a santa hat (courtesy of ochako), and yet he still has his signature scowl on his face.
his eyes snap to you upon hearing your giggle, and the corners of his lips tip up in a small smile. he reaches a hesitant arm around you, plucking your now empty glass from your hand.
ādo you want more?ā he asks quietly, eyes soft as he gazes as you.
you nod, smiling softly at him.
he then goes into the kitchen, smacking kirishima on the side of his head as he passes him.
āi donāt know how you did it.ā a voice says next to you. you turn, seeing mina leaning over the couch where youāre seated, chin resting on the backing of the couch.
ādid what?ā
she sighs happily, reaching out to twist one of your curls around her finger.
ākatsukiās neverā¦well, you know how he is. i donāt think heās ever considered that another person could love him, and then you found him. and i donāt think i can ever thank you enough for showing him that he deserves to be loved.ā
āIāhe means the world to me.ā you say quietly.
mina grins, then lets go of your hair, standing as you turn your eyes to the blonde who was making his way back over to you. he hands you your drink before leaning down to whisper in your ear. āwanna go somewhere a little quieter?ā
you nod, heart thudding as you stand and follow him to the dining room where towers of cookie boxes are stacked, a result of a baking contest gone awry a few nights ago (izuku won, of course).
katsuki stands there for a few seconds, eyes shifting around the room nervously.
āi uh. i got you a gift.ā he says quietly, avoiding eye contact as he slips a small white box from his back pocket.
you take it from him, eyeing the badly wrapped box with amusement.
āyāyou got this for me?ā you breathe.
he nods, a hand coming up to scratch his neck, heat flooding to his cheeks as he brings his eyes up to yours. you carefully unwrap the gift, taking the top of the box off and gasping at what lays beneath.
ākatsuki, this is beautiful.ā you say in awe, gently pushing back the wrapping and taking the rose gold necklace out. there was a small heart on the thin chain, and you gingerly touch it, eyes filling with tears.
āi know iām not, like, the best at all of this stuff. but i promise iām trying! i justāwell, you deserve so much, andāā
āoh kats,ā you whisper, stepping closer to him and cupping his jaw with one hand, necklace dangling in the other. āi love you so much, my sweet boy.ā
a big beautiful grin splits his face, his eyes shining as he dips his forehead to rest on your own. āi love you too, my beautiful girl.ā
