Months had passed since you had first found out you were pregnant, and a few things had changed in your life since then. First off, you had regular visits with Izuku's mom Inko, going out for lunch together and just talking about anything, mostly talking about Izuku and the baby you were expecting soon. Secondly, you and Katsuki had moved in together, his apartment had an extra room from when Kirishima used to live with him, and you had taken it. You both thought it'd be easier since he planned on helping you raise the baby, and you both understood that the first couple of years would be the hardest.

And thirdly, and most importantly, as time went on, your broken heart was slowly healing, not by much, but you were no longer crying yourself to sleep which was a good sign. When they say that time heals everything, they weren't wrong.

You were now nearing on your ninth month, excitedly waiting for the small bundle of joy to be born, but right now you were just flopped on the couch on your side. Head resting on Katsuki's lap as he ran his fingers through your hair, thinking you were asleep beside him. It was comfortable living with him, he was a great cook, unlike you who could barely make toast without burning it, and he had been slowly working on swearing less, mostly because you continued to reprimand him on how you didn't want your babies first words to be a swear word.

A loud knock sounded at the door, causing you to shift slightly, "Who the hell is here?" Katsuki mumbled quietly, still unaware that you were awake. He gently moved your head and stood up, walking down the hall and opening the door. "Hey buddy! Long time no see!" Kirishima said loudly from the entryway. "Shh! (y/n) is asleep, wake her up and I'll kill you." Katsuki said, glaring slightly at Kirishima but still being slightly happy to see him, although he'd never admit it.

"Awe man she's asleep? But I bought this cute little baby blanket and I wanted to give it to her nowwwwwww." Kirishima whined, loud enough for you to hear all the way into the living room, "Kirishima!" You called from the living room, struggling to slowly sit up. Katsuki's ruby eyes bore holes into the back of Kirishima's head as he walked into the apartment and to you. "Yay you're awake! Bakugou here said you were asleep." Kirishima said, flopping down beside you on the couch, wrapping an arm around your shoulder playfully.

"I was resting, it's been really hard to sleep lately, with all the kicking this one does during the night." You said with a giggle, gesturing to your stomach. "Idiot." Katsuki said with a 'tch' sound, hitting Kirishima on the side of the head before taking a seat on the other side of you. "Ow! Hey man that's rude! I was just super excited to see (y/n)! Like wow (y/n) it's like you grew so much more since the last time I saw you!" Kirishima exclaimed in astonishment and excitement.

You giggled, "Wow Kirishima, are you calling me fat?" You said with a pout, teasing him. "W-What! Of course not! A true man would never say something like that to a women, especially a pregnant women!" Kirishima said, "She's teasing you idiot." Katsuki said, a slight smirk growing on his face.

"Sorry about that." You continued to giggle, "Well anyways, the true reason I came over was to give you this." Kirishima said as he handed you a small box with a little bow on it. "Awe Kirishima you didn't have to." You said as you slowly opened it and gasped, "It's adorable! Thank you so much!" You said, staring at the mint green baby blanket that had the words 'future hero' written in black on it. You hugged Kirishima tightly with joy. He laughed, "You're welcome! As the uncle of the kid I will spoil them rotten!" He grinned, hugging you back.

"You know you're not the kids real uncle right?" Katsuki deadpanned, "Shh, they don't need to know that." Kirishima said as he let you go, "Well, I better get going, I only came by for a quick second to give you that! Unfortunately there is lots of hero paperwork left to get done." Kirishima said, standing up, "I'll walk you to the door." You said, before trying to stand up, clearly struggling to do so. Katsuki held out his hands which you gladly took and he gently helped you stand. "Thank you Katsuki." You smiled at him before the three of you walked to the doorway.

Before Kirishima left he leaned in and whispered in Katsuki's ear, "Tell her how you feel already dude."

"Well I'll see you later guys, bye Bakugou! Bye (y/n)! Bye baby!" Kirishima called as he walked down the hallway towards the elevator. You closed the door and turned your attention to Katsuki, whose face was turned away from you but you could still see the hint of a blush on his cheeks. "What did he say to you?" You asked, "Nothing." He said with a shake of his head, "Okay..." You said, dropping the subject for the moment.

"Do you want something to eat?" Katsuki asked, changing the subject, your (e/c) eyes lit up, "Yes! Actually can we go to the ice cream shop down the street? Ochako said they recently added some new flavours." You asked, grabbing onto Katsuki's arm and giving him puppy dog eyes. He looked down at you with a 'really? That's what you want?' look, "Ice cream isn't food, idiot." He said with a 'tch' sound. "Please." You begged. Katsuki sighed, narrowing his eyes at you slightly, "Fine, you better change into something more decent though." He said with a smirk, "And fix your hair." He said as he flicked a piece of your hair that was sticking straight up.

"Eek! Don't!" You whined, letting go of his arm and going into your room, quickly changing into a pair of black leggings and a long short sleeved shirt, along with brushing your hair up into a bun with a cute white bow. "Done!" You called, "You're going to be cold. Put a sweater on or something." Katsuki said, you argued and he scoffed but didn't say anything else. You were both walking down the street, your arm looped through Katsuki's, using him to slightly lean against, but also trying to absorb his warmth, since he was correct, you were cold.

"You're an idiot." He said with a click of his tongue, pulling his hoodie up and off his body, then pulling it on over you. Despite the fact that you were nearly nine months pregnant, his sweater still fit you with some extra room, aside from the arms which drooped way past your hands, thanks to him liking larger sweaters than he needed. "T-Thanks Katsuki." You said, turning your head away from him with a pale pink blush on your cheeks, the sight of him in a tank top that hugged his body perfectly shocked you for a moment, making your cheeks heat up.

Later that night you were tossing and turning in bed uncomfortably, unable to get to sleep, "Ughh." You sighed in annoyance. Getting up, you lightly padded over to Katsuki's room and knocked on his open door, "Katsuki.." You mumbled. He had been asleep, but you calling his name instantly woke him up, he quickly sat up, "What, is it the baby?!" He asked in alarm, moving the blankets to get up but getting himself caught in them, managing to fall right out of bed. "No! The baby is fine, I'm sorry for waking you up, and then startling you, and now you're here on the ground..." You apologized, making your way over to him and sitting on the ground near him.

He grumbled out a few curses, telling his blanket and the floor to die, which you said nothing about.

You gently lifted his head up from the ground and held his face in your hands, "I just couldn't sleep...And...I was wondering...I-If you wouldn't mind of course, if I could...um...Well, sleep in here with you?" You asked, your voice so quiet it was barely above a whisper. He slowly sat up, placing one of his hands over yours that was still on his cheeks, "If you want to.." He mumbled, his face heating up with a blush. The way you were holding his face, leaning so close to his body he could almost feel your warmth, the way the moonlight from his window was casting a silver glow over your skin, was all making his heart race.

"Thank you...For everything.." You whispered, the two of you didn't even realize you were getting closer to one another until your noses were almost brushing against the other. He knew he should stop himself before he did anything he'd regret later, he knew you were still in love with Izuku, and knew you could never like him as anything more than a friend. But it was getting so hard for him to restrain himself all the time, when all he wanted to do was hold you close.

He was more of an acting on impulse kind of guy after all.

You knew you should stop yourself before you did anything you'd regret later, you were still in love with Izuku after all, but for some reason you couldn't get the thought of being with Katsuki out of your head, but he could never see you as anything more than a friend right? But for right now, all you wanted to do was kiss him. It was a burning desire, and before you could even process what you were saying you had quietly asked him,

"Can I kiss you?"
