Bakugou sat down in his chair and picked his headset up off the desk, putting it on. He quickly took one last sip of water before turing on his camera and starting the livestream. The blonde gave his usual greeting that he had for his streams, and watched as the chat began to fill with various greetings from his viewers in return. Without waiting any longer, he got right into explaining what he was going to be doing in the stream.

The game he was going to play was one that his chat had voted on the previous week. The game had just recently been released and Katsuki was actually excited to play it. The game was called 'Figment 2: Creed Valley'. The reason he had hoped that his viewers would vote that one is because he had really enjoyed playing the original Figment game when it came out, and when he found out it was getting a sequel, he almost died on the spot. Now, it had finally been released, and he was ready to play it.

Not wanting to waste any more time, he picked up his switch pro controller and started up the game. Just as the title screen came up, a message popped up on his the monitor he had running the stream. It was a donation from someone in the chat. The blonde immediately recognised the amount as the same price he paid for the game. The messaged that came with the donation read:

"You seemed really excited to get the game after playing the first one, so consider this a gift to cover the cost of the game. im always so excited to watch your streams and you make my day!"

Katsuki read it, then thanked the person who donated it. By then, the game was done loading, so he hit start and the opening cutscene began playing. He sat and watched it attentively, visdibly excited.

Katsuki was really enjoying the game so far. He had gotten a few more donations in the last hour since he started playing, and he was thankful for all of them. Not only did he enjoy streaming and playing games like this, but it helped him be able to spoil Shouto whenever he felt like it. Only recently graduating from UA, he hadn't started hero work yet and his money went into paying rent for the apartment he shared with his boyfriend. So, he used the money he would get from streaming to buy things for his baby, and occasionally get new streaming equipment if he needed it.

The blonde was in the middle of a battle when suddenly, a crash was heard from the other room, followed by an ear peircing wail. His microphone picked up both sounds as well as the childlike cries that followed, and everyone watching the stream saw Katsuki freeze. He paused the game and turned to the camera.

"Uhhh, sorry guys. Hang on I'll be right back." He said as he took off his headset, placing it down on the desk. The blonde quickly stood up and rushed out of the room.

He already knew that the sound came from his and Shouto's shared bedroom, where Shouto had been sleeping. Knowing him, he probably had a nightmare or fell off the bed or something. The door was cracked open, just as he'd left it when he put Shouto down for a nap before starting the stream. He quickly opened the door and made his way around to the opposite side of the bed, where he saw Shouto curled up on the ground, sobbing violently. Katsuki immediately reached down and slipped his hands under Shouto's arms, picking him up.

"Shou, what happened?" He asked while gently shushing the little in an attempt to calm him down a bit. He wasn't sure if he was going to be able to get a response out of Shouto, as he would usually go non-verbal under stressful situations like this. Thankfully, Shouto responded after a moment.

"I- I was s'eepin and and d-den i haved a ni'mare and I- and den a felled off d' bed" Shouto stuttered out between harsh cries. As soon as he finished he let out another loud wail, burying his face into the blonde's shoulder. He felt so small, and talking was hard, but he tried his best. However, Shouto didn't think he'd be able to talk anymore.
