“He won’t need to take the train, Midoriya. My driver will take him...

Yagi watched Katsuki as he rolled his eyes in the passenger seat, clearly not completely happy with Uncle Shoto living with them.
The apartment was small, so of course Yagi could hear them negotiating when they thought he was asleep.
There was a long moment of silence while Yagi’s heart beat quickly.
“Izuku. What do you want to do?” Katsuki had questioned him.
“Really?” Shoto questioned gratefully.
“He clearly needs it! I’m still trying to find my place in his life, and I won’t be able to do that by blowing up the only family he’s known!”
“Kacchan…” Izuku said emotionally before Yagi had to cover his ears from all the gross kissy noises. “Thank you! Thank you!”
“You can have your nerd cave, Izuku.” Katsuki chuffed.
“That’s fine with me too.”
“But Yagi! If you would rather use it for-”
“I have figured I wanna store too, mom.” Yagi mumbled before Izuku turned around and smiled at him so brightly, it was blinding.
“Of course! They will definitely be safe in there!”
“The yard is nice and big so we can finally have guests over and maybe even get a dog!”
“A dog?!” Katsuki questioned.
“You always wanted one, right Kacchan?! I remember when we were 6,”
“It was a good plan!” Katsuki fumed.
“Yagi always wanted a dog or cat too! He even brought a snake in one time! He loves animals!”
He knew whatever thought his mom voiced out loud about this house could have been his last ones. The more he talked, the more grateful Yagi was that he was alive.
“Let’s get settled in before we decide on something like that.” Katsuki scolded his mate.
“Right! Sorry! I’m just… so happy we’re all here!” Izuku smiled at him.
“Alright! Izuku and I get the big room, everyone else pick what you want!” Katsuki declared.
“Yagi? How are you doing?” Izuku questioned.
“I’m fine Mama. I’m just putting these books up!”
“Need help?” Izuku opened the door shyly and Yagi quietly nodded his head.
“It’s big.” Yagi noted. “But it’s cool, I guess.”
“I’m glad you like it! Kacchan thinks it should be bigger!” Izuku hummed.
“I did, didn’t I?” Izuku smiled shyly.
“So it’s my fault he doesn’t like it, right? If I didn’t make you-”
“You didn’t make me do anything!” Izuku insisted.
“You make me happy too!” Izuku insisted. “And your Papa…. Truthfully, I don’t know what I would have done without Shoto-kun! But, I think the reason I was able to have so much faith in your sire returning is you!”
“Because you’re so amazing, Yagi! I’m so proud to call you mine! Even at your worst, and you were a terrible toddler! I still thought, Kacchan is going to love him! You’re the most amazing thing I’ve ever done!” Izuku beamed making Yagi break down.
“Kaminari lived.” Izuku shrugged before hugging him. “Because you did the right thing and brought him to your Auntie Eri. Kacchan used to be mean to me too… but that didn’t stop me from seeing him!”
“Thank you… thank you, Mama!”
“Shh… of course you do.” Izuku kissed his forehead. “And you’ll show me exactly how like you always have!”
“Mm… mmhmm!” Yagi nodded his head. “I… really like the house, mom!”
“Me too!” Izuku held him tight.
“Yo!” He knocked on the door before barging in. “I’m making Katsudon!”
“MY FAVORITE!” They said at the same time.
Katsuki smirked before turning around. “Good! Hope you like spice too!”
“And Soba!” Shoto called from across the hall.
“And soba for you!”
Kaminari and Sero needed to pay!
Denki slumped over to his kitchen and drank the rest of an old water bottle.
He was over the moon when the alpha called him and asked him to lunch! He said he had something important to ask him and Denki couldn’t be more excited! Was he finally ready for that next step?
When Midoriya told them all he was pregnant, Denki felt nothing but dread.
It was sad to watch!
Could anyone blame him for snapping at Midoriya?
“I just couldn’t take it anymore! He won’t even let his own kid call him Father! He’s sucks the life out of him! He’ll never love him like I do!”
“That’s not my fault, that’s Yagi’s!” Denki expected Sero to scoff at the idea but he quietly nodded his head instead.
“Why don’t we break the news to the kid, huh?” Hanta sighed. “Let him see the reality Midoriya won’t.”
Denki hoped their plan would work, and Bakugo returning was the cherry on top of everything! But still, he never expected Midoriya to drop. He never expected the kid to actually resent him.

Denki’s heart beat faster the closer his car got the restaurant. He cleared his throat and introduced himself the hostess.
“Hello, I’m-”
“Chargebolt-San! Yes, welcome! Right this way! Shoto-San booked this restaurant out just for this occasion!” She informed him.
“Sero?!”
“Kaminari?! What are you doing here?!” He asked him bitterly.
“I was about to ask you the same thing?!” Denki hated this!
“Kaminari-kun! Sero-kun! You’re both here!” Izuku’s voice startled the two of them as he entered from the balcony.
“Midoriya?!” They questioned at the same time.
“I’m so glad you could make it!” He smiled chipperly.
“I thought I was too!” Denki shook his head. “What’s the deal?!”
“Oh, I’m sorry Todoroki wasn’t more clear but he does have something important to ask you guys!”
“I’ll explain.” Izuku sighed. “Kacchan is back after all this time and he’s really overwhelmed!”
“I would be honored!” Denki bowed.
“But I would be what’s best for Yagi!” Hanta challenged.
“I need to know who I can trust with my son!” Izuku cried.
“Me, of course, Midoriya!” Denki insisted.
“Why don’t we have lunch and we’ll find that out.” Shoto gestured to the table.
“Ah… that was delicious!” Izuku sighed in relief.
“Right… I have to ask you some questions.” Shoto nodded his head. “Which of you do you think Yagi likes more?”
“He always has the most fun with me!” Denki asserted. “I even just took him on a hike!” He froze after he said that. That wasn’t true, was it?
“You did?” Shoto and Izuku questioned at once.
“Yagi wouldn’t tell us who he went hiking with…” Izuku grumbled. “I have to ask you… did he- hurt anyone while on that hike?”
“He’s a lot like Kacchan.” Izuku sniffled. “I wish they had a chance to get to know each other… I’m sorry imposing on one of you like this… but it’s what’s best for everyone…”
“I love the little guy!” Kaminari said as the memory made him shiver more and more. He had an eerie feeling in his gut.
“You liar!” Sero snapped.
“No, it’s you who hates him!” Denki pointed his finger at him. “It was your idea in the first place to tell him Bakugos dead and Midoriya’s crazy!”
“What else were we supposed to do?! We’re glad Bakugo’s actually alive but no one could have predicted that! I’m sorry Midoriya, but you sounded crazy to us! I just wanted to do what’s best for him!” Hanta asserted.
“The only one who did that is you!” Denki spat. “You made him believe what you wanted to believe! Not the reality!”
“But… Bakugo’s alive.” Shoto blinked. “So really, he believed the reality.”
“That was a fun hike, huh?” Yagi questioned making Denki’s blood go cold. “It’s settled, I pick Uncle Kaminari!”
“It’s not settled! We all have to agree?” Izuku argued.
“Even me too, right?”
“H-h-hold on! We didn’t do anything! Yagi’s the one who made Midoriya drop! Not our fault!”
“How could you say what you said to a child?!” Izuku stood up, dropping the act. “If you were angry, you should have taken out on me! Not him! Yagi’s only 15!”
“I should have never gotten involved with either of you in that way.” Shoto sighed in frustration.
“Hold on!” Denki cried. “Why is he the victim in all this?! HE made Midoriya drop! HE ruined your life Todoroki, and HE ALMOST ENDED MINE!”
“How dare you say that in front of him? Yagi’s a blessing who never ruined anyone’s life! He’s someone who apologizes when he’s wrong and asks for help when he messed up!”
“I just said the truth!” Denki cried. “And I don’t regret anything!”
Katsuki heated his palms as Shoto froze the floor around them.
“Yagi.” Izuku reached his hand out. “Let’s get out of here!”
“They’ll hold back if you do.” Izuku grabbed his hand before smiling at him. “But I’m sure they’ll tell us all about it tonight at dinner!”

Katsuki and Shoto have them a beating they would remember clearly before taking them to Eri.
“I’m glad that’s over with. Who knew they’d both grow up to be such cowards!” Katsuki growled in the car ride home.
“Hey.” Katsuki put his hand on his shoulder. “You took care of Izuku and Yagi because of my mistake. And you never tried anything on him despite thinking I was dead. I should be thanking you”
“Right…” Shoto smiled in disbelief. Really, he missed his friend quite a lot.
“We’re here.” The driver announced.
The two got home to hear Izuku and Yagi laughing upstairs.
“Izuku! We’re home!” Katsuki announced.
“Alright, what’s going on up there?” Katsuki and Shoto marched up to Yagi’s room and burst in the door when Yagi quickly shoved something under his pillow. “What is that?!”
“Give it here, brat!” Katsuki held his hand out making the kid burst into more laughter.
“You’re right, Mama! He does look the same!”
“What the hell?!” Katsuki pushed him into Izuku before grabbing the book from under the pillow.
“Sorry sorry!” Izuku tried to collect himself. “Auntie Mitsuki stopped by and gave us this and I couldn’t resist showing it to him!”
“I will kill all of you!” Katsuki roared.
“Run Yagi!” Izuku laughed before Katsuki tackled him to the bed.
“I’m fine I’m-” Izuku tried to reassure him before Katsuki kissed him roughly.
“EW! STOP! NOT ON MY BED!” Yagi threw a book at him.
“Hey!” Katsuki growled as Shoto smiled on in exhaustion.
This really was his family.
This was always their family. And they were so very blessed.
One more update left! Thank you all so much for reading!
“What’s the point of a shortcut?!”
“Just because it’s shorter doesn’t mean it’s not as rewarding!” Yagi pointed to the rocks on a nearby cliff. “Scaling those takes a lot of effort!”
“You haven’t even tried!” Yagi laughed. “Is the Great Explosion Murder God DynaMight scared?!”
“No! I’m just not an idiot! Having a strong quirk doesn’t make you invincible!”
“I can’t let you climb that thing alone, your Mom would kill me!”
“Mama knows I’m capable of anything!” Yagi stuck his tongue out. “He’s the one who showed me the shortcut!”
“Fucking reckless nerd!”
“What?”
“All of this.”
“Of course it is.” Katsuki sighed. “But if I sat around thinking how weird it was instead of just trying to live with it, I’d never accept it!”
Yagi looked at him before smiling. “Come on, we’ll take the trail, old man!”
“Twenty is still old.” Yagi shrugged. “It’s going to be cringy watching you go back to work and relive your glory days!”
“I still have plenty of glory days ahead of me!”
“Yeah, yeah, Grandpa, I’m sure you will!”
BOOM!
After an explosive and long hike, the two finally got to the top of the cliff and laid down in exhaustion as they looked at the view.
“Yup.” Katsuki sighed in admiration. “Never gets old…”
“Thank you…” Yagi drank out of it as he also admired the view. “Um… what should I call you? It would be weird to call you Bakugo. That’s what everyone calls me!”
“Your mom’s always been creepy for me.” Katsuki shrugged before Yagi chucked his water bottle at him.
“YOU SAID IT FIRST!”
Katsuki glanced over at his son and thought about his question. “Call me KaSAN!”
“It sounds like I’m calling you Mom!”
“KaSAMA then!”
“I think I’ll just stick with DynaMight!”
“It’s Great Explosion Murder God DynaMight!” Katsuki snapped. “Have some respect!” He fumed making Yagi burst into laughter. “What??”
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry! It’s just-” He smiled softly. “You don’t have to worry about missing out.. or fitting in….”
He grinned in a way that reminded Katsuki of Izuku.
He kept him alive. He waited so patiently.
When the two got home from the hike, Izuku was asleep in his nest. He was still recovering from his drop and napped frequently throughout the day before going to bed at 7 PM.
“Mmm…” Izuku wrinkled his nose before slowly blinking his eyes open in his sweaty mates arms. “You’re back.”
“Take a bath with me.”
“Okay.” Izuku smiled.
“So? How was it?”
“You raised a good kid.” Katsuki smirked. “He’s a pain in the ass but I think I would be disappointed if he wasn’t one.”
“That shortcut could kill someone!”
“Oh no! He told you I showed you!” Izuku panicked.
“You leave nature up to me!” Katsuki got in his face.
“Yes sir!”
“Yes s-” Izuku began to repeat before Katsuki kissed slowly and sensually.
“I love you…” He huffed.
“I love you too, Kacchan…”
“I know!” Katsuki burst into tears. “I see it in that kid how much you love me!”
“Kacchan…”
“Damn right I will!” Katsuki caressed his hand and kissed every finger. “You don’t even have to ask…”
The two cried together till water went cold.
And they will never let each other go again.
Thank you all so much for loving this story! I have some more angsty ideas in the works, but also some spicy and fluffy ones! I hope you guys are still enjoying what the hamster in my head comes up with!
