Tears fell right on top of the baby's cheeks, it moved uncomfortably inside the cradle. the ravenette hurriedly wipes the tears from its cheek gently with his hands.
he is resting his head on the handles to look closer at the baby, sobbing silently...his hair lost colors gradually, and he stopped coloring and made no sense to give any importance to himself. he smiles weekly at his and bakugou 1-year-old boy,kayda.
‘’Red?’’
An irritated tone of voice that is trying to be softly called outside of the room.
Kirishima flinches from his thoughts and wipes his tears away as he stands away from the crib and turns around, he saw the blonde husband looking at him leaning one of his shoulders on the door frame. blond realized his partner was crying from his heavy-lidded red puffy eyes.
‘’What's up, babe?’’
kiri asked after clearing his throat as if he wasn't crying or not depressed. bakugou has been worried for him lately. he is been skipping meals and breaks fast, not going for hero works, and staying at home watching kayda. he is ignoring mina and others because he is sick of getting their sympathy. bakugou was worried that Kirishima may end up having depression. but he is now. and he lost the dazing smile
‘‘is the baby asleep’‘
he asks try not to let him know that he was checking up on kiri.
‘’ya, he is been so grumpy today, I had to sing his favorite lullaby that y/n used to sing for him.’’
That's when his eyes got tearier. brushes his hair from his face .he is trying hard not to show his emotions to the blonde, thinking his husband also gets worried. but Kirishima knows bakugou is more hurt than him. Bakugou took intervals from hero works and spent time with Kirishima and baby kayda..keeping Kirishima company and talking out his sadness. bakugou knows it's been tough for them lately.to overcome kiri depression with a hesitant mind he decided not to put your name on any occasion until kiri is in a normal state.
bakugou balled his fists.
‘’Red I told you not to mention her name, we talked about that.’’
bakugou stared at the ravenette and watched his emotion scurry over his face from deadpan face to sadness.
Kirishima burst out in tears in front of the blonde and slapped his mouth to cover the cries to as not to wake the baby. his head feels fuzzy and lost his balance.,bakugou instantly grabbed him before he falls to the ground.
‘’hey. kiri what the hell! you okay?! ‘’bakugou grabbed his jaw and shakes him .kirishima opens his eyes and looks at him. bakugou wipes the tears from his cheeks... Kirishima fluttering his eyes, he saw a familiar figure who is trying to wake him up.
tears swell in the corners of bakugou eyes watching his beloved husband see so broken. he is been like this after you broke this tough hero's feather heart. It's been three months since you died in that horrible villain attack. which made your hero-husband's heart shatter to pieces.
it was a normal day. you guys have been working as a team for a week now. it was a blessing for Kirishima. he always wanted to work together with his life partners after marriage, plus it was so exciting for him.
‘’can you say, momma?’’
you say as you feed the baby in a high chair in the kitchen. she looks at you and chuckles in a cute voice that made your heart flutter.
‘’aww.’’ you gently place kisses on the baby's cheek as he got more excited and grabs your hair like he wants more kisses. you kissed him again and he chuckles loudly. you have been trying to make baby kayda to make him say momma since your only mission is that your beloved baby's first words should be momma.
kayda was born out of many complications. you can say he is a blessing from the gods. you gave him birth 5 days prior that the doctors said the actual delivery date. you were bleeding and doctors had said it would be made so much risk to the mother and unborn child's health.
you remember how scared katsuki and Kirishima were. they even stayed with you in the hospital despite their hero work. you lost consciousness for five days after the delivery. fortunately, both of you survived. kayda is now 1 year old. now your life mission is for him to say his first words should be a momma.
‘’say, momma,kayda’’
‘’good morning babe’’.
you stood straight and turn to see Kirishima who is coming to the kitchen, rubbing his eyes.
‘’good morning honey,’’
you go over and went for a kiss and he kissed you back, wrapping his hands over your hips and not letting go. he leans inhales your scent from your neck, and plants kisses and morning bites. you wiggle out of his grasp giggling.
stop it's ticklish.
‘’of course, it is.now give me some sugar, mommy.’’
you punch his shoulder, and he groans in pain and looks at you,
‘’what's that for?’’
you pointed at the baby who is chuckling and excited to see his daddy.
‘’oops, I nearly forget, how's my baby shark doing in the morning?’’
he went to grab the baby out of the high chair and fanned him in the air in circles baby laughed in his grasp .your eyes furrowed and look at Kirishima with a baby pout face
‘’I thought I was your baby shark.’’
kiris stops and looks over you in shock. he suddenly went for your kiss that deepening
.
‘’of course, you're not my baby shark but my mommy shark’’
he coos you slap his shoulder again as she reminded the presence of the baby.
‘’what are you guys yelling in the morning?’’
you both flinch when bakugou enters the kitchen yawning.
‘’oh, katsuki, good morning. did we wake you?’’
you say and he kisses your lips.
‘’good morning, teddy bear.’’
he nuzzles your neck from behind and wraps you around your waist watching you cut vegetables
.
‘’where are my kisses katsuki?’’katsuki looks up from your neck saw red hair staring at him.
Kirishima made a pout face which made katsuki laugh. he is trying his best to act cute and he is.
‘’come over here red.’’
Kirishima kissed bakugou. and little kayda like he was squished between his two daddas chest .after katsuki breaks the kisses and ruffles baby kayda's hair. he went to take him and kisses his crown
‘’good morning brat.’’ kayda responds in a cute mumble.
this scene melts your heart, your two loving husbands loving their child the greatest scene that any mother or wife could get in this world. happy tears swell in the corners of your eyes and are wiped before your husbands could see.
Your quirk is multi-quirks. you develop many quirks every year. Kirishima and bakugou met you during a mission when they attacked a lab .you were a lab rat. you were used in their experiments. from their experiments, you received multiple personality quirk. after they rescue you, you were rehabilitated in their homes, they eventually fell in love with you and after 4 years of dating you married them and after 3 years of marriage now you're a mother to a child. your life has been so beautiful until that day.
you kicked the nomus head and used your quirks and shreds the nomu into pieces. you used your clones to send out to annihilate the norms from moving outside the city. they did a good job too. you were huffing and scoffing. your communication system was destroyed during the battle. you tried hurried to try contact bakugou.
‘’dynamite what's your position?’’
you could hear the screeches and explosions at the other end of the line and you also heard Kirishima's voices instructing bakugou what to do further.
‘’I am in musutafu 2nd street, what is it?’’
they are after you and the re... the line was cut off.
shit! you cursed yourself and ran out of the building you were in.
this attack was planned by the league of villains. not for taking cash or stealing but to take down major two heroes in japan.red riot and dynamite. you got this information from a villain through mind reading quirk. you panicked.
the heroes were gathered in musutafu to protect people and fight off villains. since with the help of your quirk they were able to kill a lot of nomus. and thanks gods nomus were handled. you were tired to use the power, but you need to get to your husbands before any worse could happen to them. but, you know that your husbands are not weaklings, so no one could ever touch them. but your heart feels uneasy.
you saw them standing and cheering each other on a highway after fighting a massive nomu. you called out to them, they turns their head and saw you.
but you sensed something was launched towards your husband from the distance. you scurried over to them and pushed enough to make both falls .that's when a giant ice spear pierced through your stomach, and you winced in pain.
before you fall you send another one formed from your quirk to the villain who sent it and ends up killing him. you fall to the ground. you could hear bakugou and Kirishima cried out as they approach you. bakugou wraps you in his arms crying and cradling you. kiri crying on top of your chest picking handfuls of your bloodied cloth. blood was gushing out of the wound and your mouth. you taste blood. your head began to fuzzy darkness filling inside your eyes. you knew you were going to die.
‘’k-Kirishima,’’ ‘you weakly smiled at both of them
‘’look after kayda, and don't forget to sing his favorite lullaby before bed. i-i love you g-guys,s-so much.’’
finally, you took one last breath and your chest stopped raising. your body went limp
.people around the world mourned the death of an amazing hero, who passed away tragically. you have been in the news for a week and honoring you.
Kirishima fell silent after your death, reluctant to do hero works so he can look after kayda, the living example of yours that you left the world, to them. he was worried about kayda, he is been crying every night without any reason. he hesitated to eat food. bakugou tried to calm him down but he was restless. maybe he knows your absence. Kirishima used your perfume on himself to calm kayda from crying. sadly tricking him that his mommy is with him and surely did kayda fall for this nasty trick.
‘’I can't! bakugou, I can't forget her. I miss her..i-i don't know what to do...I feel like it's all my fault’’..he hiccups
‘’it's not your fault idiot,y/n made her choice. it is not your fault .stop crying like a dumbass, I know it is so hard, but we need to push ourselves to overcome this. At least we should live for our baby, remember her last words?
she told us to look after our baby. so red, be strong, if you down I d-don't know what to do!! ‘’
bakugou lips were quivering from the pain and emotion that's he trying to stop from the flood inside. he doesn't want to overwhelm his partner more than he already is .he suppressed his tears from falling out and picks up sobbing Kirishima in bridal style and carries him to their room.
Kirishima was a mess, and he lost consciousness after he burst into tears. whimpering and rambling your name. bakugou hums and puts him down to the bed and wraps his favorite blanket. you bought this online saying that we could snuggle together during rainy and winter nights.
speaking of rain, the rain had started pouring for a minute now. bakugou glanced at the rain outside. he climbed to bed and pulls half-conscious Kirishima into a hug listening to him ramble your name.
Dark. All you could see was dark and complete silence..silence that crept into your bones.it's zoned out. am I in space? or some kind of dark void?
you flutter your eyes to gain the best vision but it didn't help get rid of the dark. Your mind stumbled upon different questions
where am I? wait. who am i.why do I feel so hard to breathe it is like when you are trapped inside a thick big blanket. but this is no blanket, this is something else.
your body feels so numb like you have been sleeping for hours your hands are top on your chest, intertwined. something was resting between your intertwined fingers.
what is it? your dress is uncomfortable. it's heavy. you tried to wiggle your finger to move, but it was so difficult. after a few attempts you were able to move your hands, and you raise them to rub your eyes but your elbow hits something top. it's like the ceiling under your nose. you panicked when realized everything.
you're inside a fucking casket.
now all the things that happened began to flash through your heads, you were pierced by an ice spear and died in hands of your husbands, and they thought you were dead.
shit, I didn't die that day! I think I was hibernating to heal my wounds!!
you wiggle inside the casket and screamed inside and hoping that anyone would hear your screams, but no. you may be buried in a cemetery, so it's clear even if someone hears your screams no one dares to come closer due to fear.
I need to escape this shit. you tried to move but this casket doesn't have that much space. your mind goes blank. if I stay longer, the breathable air will run out.
after a while, with the help of your quirk, you were able to squeeze yourself out of the casket and touched the soil. you slowly crept and began to move to reach the top, you prayed to the gods above that you will see the light of today.
it was hard but you felt...wet.
water? I think it's raining on the surface.
finally,
you feel rain drop hitting harshly on your palm on the surface of the earth. you reach your hand to grab something so you can pull yourself out of the grave. it took 2 hours to get out of the grave.
It's night and raining outside, which made your escape from the casket much easier. you were able to crawl between the thick soil due to its wetness. you felt hard to breathe but you successfully made it to the surface.
you struggle and push yourself up toward the surface. your hand grabbing the grass and pulling yourself out of the grave that you have been resting in peace for days, months?
you gasped and inhaled deeply for the air as it fills and calms your nerves. you completely pulled out from your own grave and lie on the ground to calm down your anxiety and stare at the raining clouds. the raindrops hit your face washing the specks of dirt away. you close your eyes and thank the gods above. you rolled to your side and raise with the support of your hands and legs. because they were numb after a long time. you looked at yourself and saw that you wearing the same wedding dress that you wore on the day you married Kirishima and bakugou. your hair may be styled but it's all messed up and dirty. you looked like a corpse bride
what day is this? you looked around but stopped to see your grave you crawled out.
you are amazed that you were buried inside the mustutafu hero's cemetery. this cemetery is only for honored heroes and you got the chance RIP in those graves. you don't know whether to be happy or to feel confused. thunderstruck on the sky, in a lightning flash and you saw an inscription on the tombstone. they made a good tombstone out of black marble with a heart and symbol of your hero weapon. you read the engraving on them.
an amazing hero, a beautiful wife, and a loving mother...y/n
tears prickled in your eyes as you watch that. you need to go back to your family who may or may not wait for you. this is your second life. you felt both rings in your fingers put by your husband.
kiri opens his eyes and saw bakugou was still awake in bed cuddling with him. he heard the sound of rain outside. he lifts and watched the lightning and thunder outside through the window. bakugou peeked at Kirishima and he looks at him.
‘’katsuki?’’
‘’hm? ‘’he hums as he resting his head on the pillows.
‘’do you know what today is?’’’
‘’no.’’
‘’it's her turn’’
‘’what?’’
‘’If y/n turns to sleep in the middle’’
‘’shut up and sleep kiri you are rambling’’
‘’no, I am not bakugou, I am in my full state of mind. give space for her. please?it's raining outside, I heard my grandma saying in my childhood that when is raining ,our loved ones from heaven will visit us. so I don't want y/n to be mad at us for not giving her space.’’
‘’okay, I will put this pillow between us. happy?’’ he snatches a pillow and puts it in middle. Kirishima takes the pillow from his hands and slowly caress it like he was doing to a real person and he smiled himself.
‘’yes,katsuki .more than ever.’’ he snuggles into the pillow.
katsuki sighs and watches kiri snugging to the pillow whispering your name, is he losing his mind? bakugou turns and looks at you in the family photo.his tears fell downwards soaking the pillow.
you staggered through the empty street, your legs are weak, but you want to see your baby. It's raining though. you were wearing a white wedding dress and it all got messed up by dirt.
When you took more steps you see a late-night TV store. you saw a tv on the display showing its news. you stumble over the tv, your eyes widen as you saw the date.
fuck!! I have been sleeping for three months?!
I need to go back,
you made in the front door of your house. you went to touch the bell but you stopped yourself.
they must be sleeping, and I don't want to wake kayda. he always hates the sound of the bell. you sneak to the living room by cutting glass with your quirk. you were drenched and dirty. your heart raced. you had been parted from your family for three months. you wanted to see kayda and staggered to his room, kayda was sleeping peacefully.
you wanted to take him and shower him with kisses but you were a mess and wet. I need to clean up. you went upstairs and slowly pushed the door of your room and saw your husband sleeping peacefully on the bed. you walked to the footboard but they both looked tired especially Kirishima. his face lost all the shining he usually does. you slowly opened the drawers and pulled your clothes out and walk out o the room. nothing had moved from the position. It's clearly because they don't want to believe you are left. so they kept everything in position. you hummed and turns around.
you took bath from the bathroom downstairs and dries yourself.
you throw your messed and dirty weddings was thrown to a basket near the powder room. you can wash it in the morning. you heard the baby begin to cry and rushed toward the crib. you picked up the baby and cradle him inside your arms.
‘’shh....momma is here,dont worry i got you...my little dragon’’you purrs
you watched his lips dry and his expression changes as he watches you. was he happy or shocked? you cannot say. but he chuckles and grabs the end of your hair, he does this when he wants kisses. you shower with kisses.
your breasts began to milk and ached to give him milk, you pulled out your upper cloth and placed your milked nippled inside your baby's mouth.
like he was waiting for this or he was in heaven he drinks with satisfaction. he sucks your breasts your tears hit on his forehead as you watch him suck.
It would be so long for your baby without his mother's touch and affection. your heart felts broken. you hum and sing a lullaby and watch him drift to sleep. you slowly place his sleeping body inside the crib and plant a kiss and whisper good night.
you slowly walk out of the room and sneak into your room. bakugou and Kirishima was still asleep. you watched how hard he was gripping the pillow you realized it was your turn to get in the middle. you chuckle yourself and climb into the bed. you don't want to wake kiri or bakugou up.so you slowly squeeze yourself inside the blanket and gently pulls the pillow away. kiri mumbles in his sleep.
Please don't go..y/n...I don't want to miss you...
his desperate pleas even in his sleep made your heart t broken. you went inside his arms and let him cuddle you. without knowing that his wife came into life. bakugou slept peacefully on the side peacefully
kayda didn't cry last night, or didn't I hear, shit he saw kiri under the blanket probably huggling the pillow last night.
bakugou scurried to kayda's room and rushed to swing the door wide open. but he only sees kayda sleeping peacefully. something was...........odd. kayda usually doesn't act like that this morning, but what happened? bakugou caressed the baby's head and walk to the kitchen to make something for breakfast .but stopped seeing a glass break in the living room. a pair of wet and dirt footprints are walked inside.
fuck someone broke into the house last night?!
his blood boiled that some thief broke into no.2 hero?
he traced the dirt footprints leads and saw something cornered in the bucket nearby and powder room . bakugou crouched over and picks it up.his eyes widen as he watched the dirty white dress.
it cant be...
he ran to their room to wake up Kirishima and the dress in his hands.
kiri was curled up inside the blanket.
‘’kiri, wake up dumbass, you need to see this’’
ravenette opens his eyes and turns his head to see bakugou.
‘’what bakugou?’’
‘’do you know what this is?’’
he sits up, the blanket was so big and long. he watched the white wedding dress.
‘’where did you get that?’’
kiri eyebrows furrowed. the hardening hero watched his husband breathing heavily.is it from fear or excitement?
‘’i-i found it in a basket outside our powder room, I saw the window glass in the living room is broken, and kayda didn't cry last night...he usually does but he didn't, I saw a pair of dirt footprints all over the house.’’
realization hits hard as a train in Kirishima's brain.
‘’t-that dress..is that dress be-?’’
they saw the blanket beside him was moving, which made both of them stand in place. kiri reached the top of the blanket and pulled it aside. and they saw you sleeping.
you hiss in sleep as the cold hits your skin.
5 more minutes bakugou, I am really tired. you say.
both your husband watched your back. they were squeezed and shut their eyes many times to see if this is some sort of dream or illusion, but two people can dream together?
‘’y-y/n?’’
you were half asleep, but hearing his voice pushes you into reality. you sit up instantly and they flinch.
‘’u-um hey,katsuki,eijirou, um good morning..’’you laugh nervously.
Kirishima was watching and studying you to see if this were real or not. but hoping this is real. bakugou tears fell.
you smile but before your brain can register, Kirishima was pinning you down on the bed mistaking youre some sort of villian like toga.
‘’tell me who you are bitch?!’’
you came here expecting kisses and affection and this is what you get?
‘’bitch?! what the fuck you're calling bitch, shitty hair?!’’ you yelled out, trying to grasp out of his grip.
‘’no, no, no, no, you're not real. my wife- my love died three months ago! who the fuck are you?! if you're playing I will kill you!! ‘’Kirishima's eyes were dark and tears were flowing down hitting your cheeks as he hovered over your body.
’kiri let me go!! I am y/n I am not dead. i-i was hibernating after that incident. let me the fuck go!! katsuki say something him!!’’
katsuki was completely immobile as he watches Kirishima pinned, he went numb.
you used your quirk and wiggles out of their grasp and pull yourself out to the other side of the bed stumbled, when Kirishima rushed over to you and smacked Kirishima's face across.
‘’it took 2 hours to get out from the grave you mother fuckers, and I rushed here to see my baby and my husband knowing they are heartbroken and you calling me a bitch?! ‘’
you didn't realize when you started crying, you fell on your butt. they slowly crawled to you and embrace you. you all fell to the floor,
you didn't know how much time, they were kissing your face and crying and rambling about how they missed you and such.
‘’I think I was little late right? ‘’you say as you cry.
‘’yes you are a dumbass..’’
bakugou smiled as he cried, and you witnessed one of the rarities. Kirishima was crying like a baby hugging your chest. you were back from the dead which is one of the other rarities. you sob as you grab their hair in handfuls and lie on the floor relieving that you were back where you belong.
ok so the magnus archives is great so far but i just finished MAG 15 and i've made an executive decision that my claustrophobic and taphophobic ass should never listen to terrifying cave stories at 3 am ever again because jesus CHRIST i'm closer to not breathing right now than i've been since my last asthma attack at age 12
