BAKUGO'S POV

"What the fuck do you mean you're leaving?" I scoffed as I watched my husband lazily throw his clothes into a duffel bag.

"I told you if you didn't stop working all the time, I was going to leave you. You didn't listen, and now I'm done." I rolled my eyes and took a deep breath.

"I work so much to support our four kids and your ridiculous spending habits! Did you not just book an eight hundred dollar flight because you wanted to go shopping in a major city across the fucking country? You don't work! What the hell am I supposed to do? Someone had to keep this fucking family afloat." Me working too much has always been a constant battle between us. However, we're barely scraping by most of the time. I told him we could move to a smaller house if he wanted us to spend more time together, but he didn't want to do that to the kids.

I'm sure the kids would prefer more family time than having a fucking pool in the backyard. However, he doesn't. Eijiro has always wanted the fanciest of everything. All I ever fucking wanted was him and our family. And now, it was falling apart. Everything I worked my ass off for is falling apart.

"Katsuki, I warned you over and over again that this would happen." He didn't even look at me as he moved to our bathroom and started grabbing his stuff.

"What about the kids?" I asked. "If you want to leave me, then fine. You fucking do that. But you can't leave the kids."

"They're better off with you than with me. Let's face it. You're the overprotective dad they deserve. They could wander off, and I probably wouldn't notice for three days." My eyes widened in shock. A part of me knew that, but I didn't think he would admit it.

"That's because you're never fucking here!" I yelled. "You kept telling me you wanted a large family and to settle down. Then you just disappeared as soon as I finished with work and didn't come back until the kids were in bed. Even then, you always talked about going out again with your friends. Why the hell did you want a family that you didn't plan on spending time with?"

He turned to me with an annoyed look on his face. "I wanted to spend time with my family, but you're always working. I was pretty much a babysitter at that point."

"You were their fucking father! Watching them while I worked didn't make you a babysitter. It made you a fucking father!" I could feel the vein on my forehead popping out. It always did when I was angry.

"You work twelve hours a day. We aren't a family. We haven't been a family for a long time." He didn't sound sad when he said that. He sounded relieved.

"I had to work so much because you refuse to eat a meal that costs less than $50, Eijiro. You were milking me dry of every damn penny I had." He rolled his eyes before zipping his duffle bag.

"Then why do you want me to stick around?" He shoved past me and into our room again. "Why the hell do you want me here? You've been working so much; all I've been doing is watching the kids and blowing your money. You'll be better off without me."
