'He's Gone' Izuku Midoriya X Reader X Katsuki Bakugou 3/3

"Can I kiss you?" You asked quietly, not registering your own words till they had already left your mouth. Katsuki froze, his whole body tensing up and his cheeks burning the same colour as his eyes. "Yes." He breathed. You both met in the middle, the kiss being sensitive and sweet, innocent, and loving. Everything a kiss should be. Katsuki gently held your face in one hand, and held your hand with the other, you smiled into the kiss until you two had to pull away for much needed air.

"Now go to sleep idiot, you need all the sleep you can get before you give birth." Katsuki said, standing up and gently lifting you from the ground and placing you in his bed. He laid down beside you after, pulling the blankets over the both of you, "Thank you." You said, shifting so your head gently rested on his outstretched arm. "I said go to sleep." He grumbled, closing his eyes but making sure he stayed awake until he heard your breathing slow, and knew you were finally asleep.

Despite the fact that you guys had kissed, nothing changed between you two, you were still best friends, but slightly smudged in the direction of relationship, yet not there yet. Not willing or having the courage to make that step and alter the relationship you two already had. Not willing to risk it just yet.

Waiting.

A few weeks passed and it was almost as if the whole kiss thing had never happened, but you couldn't stop thinking about it. And unknown to you, neither could Katsuki. But you both forced yourself to focus on other important things.

Like the fact that your water just broke.

"Oh my gosh." You winced, hands gripping the kitchen counter as you slightly leaned forward, excruciating pain coursing through your body for a moment. "K-Katsuki!" You yelled out, "What?" You heard him call from the bathroom, he had just stepped into the shower a few minutes ago, causing you to feel guilty for making him help you. Even though you had no other choice. "Katsuki...I-I'm sorry to interrupt your shower...But my water just broke." You said through your teeth, lip bit to try and hold back from crying out in pain.

You heard a loud crash and the water suddenly be turned off before Katsuki was running out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist, body soaked and hair clinging to his face. "Are you sure?!" His ruby eyes were wide and you could see him shaking, slightly. "Y-Yes. Ohh." You groaned, gripping the counter harder and breathing heavily as a contraction passed. "Please put some clothes on." You said. Keeping your eyes locked on the floor instead of him.

He glanced down, remembering he was in only a towel before quickly running to his room and throwing on some sweatpants, a t-shirt and some sneakers. "Where are my keys?? Shit- Keys...Ah! The bag, where did you put the bag for this thing?? God where are my fucking keys?!" He was freaking out, running around the apartment desperately searching for the items he was looking for. His hands were beginning to spark with how much he was freaking out, sweaty and uncontrolled, you sighed. "Katsuki." You said, holding his keys up in your hands. "Fuck thank god. Okay let's go have a damn baby!" He said, gently picking you up and taking you to his car.

After many painful hours of labour, while crushing Katsuki's hand the entire time, you finally gave birth to a healthy baby boy, who has his father's curly green hair and your eyes. You cried upon being handed the baby, Katsuki chuckled and moved some of your hair away from your face, "You did great (y/n). Deku would have been very proud of you and him." He said, gesturing to the baby.

"Thank you Katsuki, that means a lot to me." You smiled up at him. About an hour later you asked him if he wanted to hold the baby, he agreed after some nudging, being slightly worried he would do something wrong and possibly upset, or hurt, the little guy. Once you handed him over, you passed out almost instantly due to exhaustion. Katsuki smiled, and took a seat in a chair beside you, gently holding the small baby in his arms.

"You know...You're kind of cute, for a baby with Deku's broccoli hair." He said in a quiet and gentle voice to the baby who was staring up at him. He sighed, "You have your mothers eyes though...(y/n)'s beautiful (e/c) eyes....God...I'm in love with your stupid mother. But she's my best friend, and Deku was a good friend of mine. So of course I wasn't going to say shit, even though I wanted to, trust me I wanted to, when they got together. And now look, here you are years later, a result of their love, and here I am, in the place where your dad should be but can't be because he fucking died. God, look at me, a fucking softie talking to a dumb baby who probably doesn't understand anything. Pathetic." Katsuki said, the smile leaving his face only for a moment, but coming back when he noticed that the baby was falling asleep.

"I'll take care of you, just like I said I would, all those months ago." He mumbled.

Many months had passed, and though you and Katsuki struggled a little, it was barely anything. You had what seemed to be the calmest baby ever, he barely ever fussed, he didn't wake you up all the time during the night, and he didn't have your voice quirk, so when he did cry, it wasn't something that would shatter yours, or Katsuki's, ear drums. You watched from across the table as Katsuki was feeding your baby some baby food, he was fussing a little bit, trying to grab for the spoon that was held just out of his reach by Katsuki.

Your relationship with him had turned into more of a real relationship, past the point of just friends. To the point where you switched rooms, now sharing a room with Katsuki and giving your baby his own room.

You were about to say something when your baby spoke up, "D...Da....Dadda..." He whined, reaching again for the spoon, your eyes widened and you turned to Katsuki who was now looking from you to the baby with wide ruby eyes. "D-Did he just say..." Katsuki stuttered out, face going bright red as he looked at you. Your face matching his, "I-I think so." You said. And as if on cue, your baby spoke up again, "Da!" He whined, tears filling his (e/c) eyes, Katsuki gave in and gave him more baby food, to get him to stop crying, and to try and process what he had just heard.

"I-I'm not your dad, kid." He said finally. Voice quiet, mostly a mumble and barely above a whisper. "Maybe not biologically speaking. But...if you want to be...I mean...You're helping me raise him right? Which means if you want him to grow up referring to you as his father...You can..." You said quietly, gaze focused on your fidgeting hands on the table, unable to bring your eyes up to look at Katsuki. Who gasped and froze in place, turning his full attention to you.

"Seriously?" He asked, bewildered. Trying to suppress a smile that was already making its way onto his face. "Seriously. He already seems to think you are anyways." You said, half smiling at him, "Okay..." Katsuki said, turning back to the baby and continuing to feed him, "I'd like that....Haha....I'm a fucking dad..." He chuckled to himself.

"Katsuki just because you're his father doesn't mean you can start swearing around him! I don't want him picking up those words!" You scolded him, although the smile never left your face.
