Izuku leaned in the door way of his three-year-old child’s room, his heart fluttered as his eyes fell on her face. She was perfect and he couldn’t thank the surrogate enough. At the age of twenty-five, Izuku felt the loneliest, dating never worked with his line of work and he always wanted to be a dad. He was a firefighter and having someone to come home to meant a lot to him.

“You need to get going, dear.”

He turned to see his mother giving him a look and tapping her foot against the wood floor. He rolled his eyes and smiled as he pushed away from the bedroom, he walked over and wrapped his arms around his short mother.

“I’m just going to miss her.” He sighed as he pulled away then walked over to the door to grab his duffle bag, he had packed the night before.

“I know, Izuku but she’ll be fine, and you can facetime her at bedtime. Sophie and I will have so much fun she’ll barely miss you!” She smiled sweetly at the firefighter.

“Not funny.” He chuckled and walked out the door, he had a forty-eight-hour shift to get through then he would have the weekend to take her to the beach. As a dad he made a lot of promises and he hasn’t broken one since, the walk to the fire station wasn’t far. Izuku made sure since getting through traffic was awful at this hour.

Izuku pushed open the door and walked up to the locker room. He stuffed his bag inside and started to put on his uniform.

“Midoriya! It’s been a while!” Kirishima grinned over at him as he walked in.

“It’s been like not even eight hours, Kiri.” Izuku chuckled as he finished the buttons on his shirt, he shut his locker and walked over to sit on the bench with the red head.

“How’s my favorite niece?” He smiled over at him as he tied the laces on his boots. “I think we should go to the park! Auntie Mina is very sad she missed her birthday.”

“She’s a nurse and was on call, I understand and so does Sophie.”

“Ooh! It’s a party in here!” Uraraka walked in with Denki behind her, Izuku rolled his eyes and stood up as he looked at Kirishima again.

“Maybe next weekend? We’re going to the beach on my days off.”

“Another promise?” Denki poked his head over, grinning.

“Of course, and that sexy dad doesn’t break them.” Uraraka winked at her best friend and Izuku groaned slightly as he walked down the stairs to get started on his chores.

“Hey Cap.” He smiled over at Iida as he walked into the kitchen to clean the dishes.

“Midoriya, good morning! You’re cheerful as always!” Iida set down his cup onto the table and turned in his chair to look at the shorter man. “So... have you met anyone?”

Izuku choked on the spit in his mouth he was trying to swallow, he slowly turned to look at his Captain with his wide green eyes.

“I’m sorry?”

“He’s asking if you had sex,.” Todoroki bluntly chimed in.

“Todoroki! Ugh! First of all, it’s no one's business and two get your wife in check cap, Uraraka can ask me not to have you ask me.” Izuku shook his head at the thought and went back to the dishes.

“I told her, but she’s concerned... about your love life,.” Iida struggled to get out.

“Nah! He’s good with a good jack off then he’s on his way!” Denki bounced into the kitchen to join the painful conversation. “Right, M?”

“I swear. You all suck.” He glared over at the blonde who held up his hands. “I don’t need to have sex every night like the rest of you.”

“You are the only single guy in the house, man.” Denki gave him a pointed look to challenge it. “We go out and risk our lives every day... don’t die a virgin.”

“Denki! I-I'm not a—You know what! Forget it!” Izuku walked out to the garage and leaned against the polish red paint of the fire truck. “Idiots...” He muttered as he folded his arms over his chest.

Requesting station 13 to commercial fire on 17th ave.

Izuku’s head popped up as the bell rang and the dispatcher came over the intercom. He jumped into action as he ran around to the passenger side of the truck and pulled on his gear, Kirishima was his partner and he drove their truck. They both got in and put on their headsets, Izuku gave him a thumbs up as Denki and Uraraka got in the back. Todoroki and Asui were in the aid car, Iida climbed in the truck telling Kirishima to step on it.

“Sorry about the kitchen...” Denki pursed his lips as he looked down at his lap.

“All good, Denki.” Izuku didn’t look back as he spoke, Kirishima looked over at him rising a questioning eyebrow which led to the green hair man shaking his curls.

They pulled up to a three-alarm fire in an apartment building, they all jumped out and Izuku grabbed an air tank and mask then slapped his hat on his head.

“Kirishima and Midoriya, search and rescue! Uraraka and Denki, get water on that fire!” Iida shot out orders and Izuku ran ahead with his partner behind him into the building.

“LAFD! Anyone in there!!” Izuku banged on the first door, a woman opened the door with shock on her face. “There’s a fire, please leave the building.” Izuku moved on to the next door as Kirishima worked on the other side. “This building isn’t up to code.” Izuku paused to look at the sprinklers that were not working, he grabbed his radio on his shoulder. “First floor secure, moving up.” He took the stairwell up to the second floor.

Some say it would be faster if they split but as fire fighters, they follow the buddy system. They got to the second floor evacuated then moved to the third.

“Third floor fire, east side.” Izuku spoke into the radio and pulled his mask down. He opened the door and braced himself with his covered arm from the heat, he let Kirishima go ahead with the fire extinguisher and he made quick work to get all the doors open and led everyone to the stairwell.

“That everyone?” Kirishima looked over at him and he nodded his green head. He started to make his way down the hall when he heard a faint cry, he frowned and knocked on the door.

“Did you clear this one?” Izuku glanced at Kirishima.

“Yeah, a man left saying he was the only one.”

“He’s a liar.” Izuku backed up then slammed his body into the door, he ran through the apartment full of smoke and walked into a bedroom and found a woman on the ground then looked over at the bassinet. “I have one unconscious woman and an infant.” Kirishima appeared into the room and picked up the baby, he paced slightly in worry.

“Mido--”

“Go! I’m right behind you!” Izuku grunted as he lifted the woman over his shoulders and followed Kirishima out. Izuku took off his mask and pressed it to the woman’s face, he coughed against the thick smoke but kept going to the front door.

“Get out now! Building is becoming unstable!” Iida demanded.

Izuku gritted his teeth as he walked as quickly as he could to the stairwell, Kirishima was already down to the second floor as he reached the steps.

“Mido! Come on!”

“I’m coming!” He was but his lungs were burning and slowing him down. He looked up as he heard a groan and he threw the woman off his shoulders right as a metal support beam came down on his back. “D-damn it!” He groaned as the tank on his back saved him from being cut in half, but it was pressing down on his spine. “Ma’am! You need to get up and go!” He pressed his forehead to the cool tile as she didn’t answer. “Fuck!”

Izuku went over every step in his mind then his mind went to Sophie.

Kirishima ran out of the building cradling the crying infant in his arms. He quickly gave the baby to Asui and her with Todoroki began to check her out.

“Where’s Midoriya?” Uraraka jogged up to him.

“He was right behind me...” Kirishima’s eyes widened, and he tried to run back into the building but Denki and Uraraka grabbed him. “IZUKU!!!”

“You can’t go in there! The building is crumbling!” Denki shouted.

“He’s my partner!!” The red head threw off his helmet and struggled against their hold. “LET ME GO!” His body froze as the building groaned and it came down on itself, his eyes widened as dust filled the air. Midoriya was like a brother to him, he was a brother to him. The red head fell to his knees and he just stared at where the building once was.

“No...” Uraraka gasped softly.

Kirishima lowered his head as he fought the tears that couldn’t be shed at this moment. He needed to be manly and help his team and the citizens... His head jerked up as he heard a faint cough coming from the dust, he jumped up as he saw the green curls come to light.

“IZUKU!” He scrambled to his feet and rushed over to his partner. Uraraka took the woman off his shoulders and over to Todoroki, the red head wrapped his arms around the other man as he collapsed against him. “That wasn’t manly!”

“S-sorry to worry you.” He mumbled before he passed out.

Izuku slowly opened his eyes to the bright lights above him, he groaned as he felt something sitting on his face. He lifted his hand and pulled it off. Where is he? He frowned as he couldn’t remember what happened or how he got here. He slowly sat up, wincing as his back protested the movement.

“Zuku! Lay down!” The red head got up from the chair he was in, he was still in his uniform Izuku noticed. “The doctor hasn’t even come in yet!” Kirishima pushed his shoulders down onto the bed then placed the mask back on his face. “Todoroki said your lungs were full of smoke and you hurt your back, they took you for an x-ray, but you need to chill so you don’t make it worse.”

“Fuck off...” He grumbled and sighed into the bed.

“I know you hate this place but... I thought you died! So, I’m going to strap you down if I must.” Kirishima placed his forehead against his. “Brother, don’t fucking do that shit again.”

“Didn’t... mean... too.” He gasped slightly with every word, the red head’s eyes widened and paged the nurse. “I’m...fine...” He started to wheeze at that point, he looked up as the nurse opened the door and he groaned when he saw who it was.

“My Mido!” Mina smiled at him and he lazily rolled his eyes. Mina’s tan arm came into his view as she reached over to end the call, she checked his pulse and listened to his chest. “I’m going to get the doctor.” She patted his head and her pink bun bounced as she ran out of the room.

“That’s concerning.” Kirishima muttered as he took Izuku’s hand in his. “Just relax... I already called your mom and she made sure the news wasn’t playing for Sophie to see.”

“T-the beach!” He gasped loudly and went into a fit of coughs. “Fuck!”

“Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?”

Izuku stiffened slightly and closed his eyes. It’s just a dream, he’ll wake up and everything will be back to him washing the dishes.

“Oi, Izuku.”

“I want... a new... doctor.” He groaned as his chest burned, and the doctor snorted as he lifted the flashlight pen up and forced one of his eyes open, Izuku met the familiar crimson eyes laughing down at him.

“G-go away!” He pushed weakly as his back screamed.

“Bro! Chill! Let him help you!” Kirishima frowned and pushed his arm down to the bed. “Izuku. Stop it. I don’t get your beef with this guy but let him fucking help you! Please, man.”

Izuku looked up at Bakugo who was smirking down at him while his eyes laughed, he gave him a quick glare then laid back on the bed relaxing into the stiff mattress. He nodded for the doctor to continue, and Bakugo grunted slightly as he did a full exam.

“Well, your lungs will need a few breathing treatments over the next few hours to clear the smoke, as for your back. You're lucky your oxygen tank saved you, no damage to your spine, you’ll have one hell of a bruise.” Bakugo looked down at the tablet as he tapped a few things. “I can give you pain meds for that.”

“He won’t do that.” Kirishima sighed. “He watched a friend in high school overdose, it shook him pretty bad.”

“Okay, no pain meds. Mina, will you take your boyfriend to get a coffee?” Bakugo sat down on the edge of the bed looking down at the other man, he waited until the door shut. “Am I still haunting you?”

“Y-you... are... an a-ass.” Izuku whispered as he sat up slightly. “Thought... you d-died.”

“Didn’t know you were a firefighter.” The blonde tilted his head. “I thought you would be living a calm life with a wife and kids and an office job.”

“B-boring and I-I'm... gay.” He snorted and winced slightly.

“Huh.”

“Y-you... doctor.” Izuku waved his hand to gesture to his white lab coat, Bakugo nodded and glanced down at his name written on the coat.

“After that day in high school, my parents sent me to rehab, and I got my shit together. I decided I wanted to be an ER doctor, quick pace and full of blood.” Bakugo chuckled when the shorter man scrunched his nose. “I save people like you saved me.”

“N-nah...”

“You did CPR for twenty minutes until you found someone to call 911, you saved my life and when I couldn’t find you after graduation, I wanted to repay my second chance by giving others a second chance.”

“You... don’t cuss... much.” Izuku was getting tired at his point, he closed his eyes and sighed softly.

“No, I do but not here. I’ll get in fucking trouble.” He smirked slightly when Izuku peeked at him. “I’ll let you get some rest then we’ll look at your back.” Bakugo cranked up the O2 before leaving.

Izuku stayed the night in the hospital with Kirishima by his side, he woke up the next morning without the burning in his lungs. He pushed himself up into a sitting position ignoring his back pain, he grabbed his phone from the table next to his bed and frowned as he thumbed through the missed calls and texts.

“Good morning, Mido!” Mina walked in, smiled sweetly. “How do you feel today?”

“Better. I can breathe today.” He gave her a small smile. “I’m ready to leave.”

“I don’t know if you’ll be leaving today but you never know.” She smiled as she shrugged one of her shoulders. “Bakugo has a soft spot for you.”

Izuku rolled his eyes as he snorted then went back to his phone.

“He’ll be in soon to look you over.” Mina patted his thigh and walked out the door, he looked over at Kirishima sleeping on the couch. He sleeps like the dead.
No less than five minutes later the doctor came in.

“Good morning.” Bakugo did his exam then sat on the bed like he did yesterday. “Well, your lungs sound great but your back looks like you got hit by a damn bus. I understand your concern for pain meds but do you want to reconsider?”

“Nope.” He popped the p and set his phone on his lap. “Can you discharge me? I need to work in about two hours.”

“Work.” The red eyes blinked at him and then he tilted his head. “You just had a building collapse on you and you want to go back to work?”

“I’ll do the aid car, I’ll be fine.”

“He’ll just make a run for it when you leave, man. He’s a stubborn fuck.” Kirishima muttered into the pillow his face was half buried in.

“I’ll take some Advil and be fine. I’ve had worse.” He shrugged and threw his legs off the bed. “I really need to shower.” He stood up slowly and stretched his arms over his head, biting his lip through the pain. “Thank you for your wonderful bedside manner, Dr. Bakugo.”

“Come back or better yet, call me if shit gets worse.” Bakugo grumbled something under his breath as he left the room.

“Come on, sharky! We got work to do!” Izuku smiled and threw a pillow from his bed at the other man on the couch, he groaned as he got hit then shot up.

“Comin, bro!” Kirishima followed the shorter man out and they headed straight to work. Izuku frowned as Iida called him into his office the minute he walked in the door. He glanced at Kirishima who looked nerves also, Izuku took a deep breath and walked into his Captain’s office.

“I was cleared to come.” He started but stopped when Iida’s hand was in the air.

“Midoriya, your doctor called and informed me, you will be on the aid car with Kirishima.” Izuku nodded slowly. He knew Iida all too well and he knew that the man with glasses wasn’t done with him yet, he looked down at the book and papers that he pushed towards the firefighter on his desk. “This is the lieutenant exam; I want you to take it and become my lieutenant.”

“S-seriously?” Izuku looked up from the book to his captain.

“Very. It’s in two weeks and I know you will pass with flying colors, Midoriya, you have great leadership skills and you do well under pressure. You saved that baby and woman without a second thought.”

“I’ll do my best sir!” He grabbed the book and exam then walked out the door to put them in his locker, he pulled out his phone and sighed when he saw the time. Sophie was already at daycare, and he missed her so much, he slipped his phone into his pocket then walked downstairs.

“Midoriya! I’m so glad you’re okay!” Uraraka threw herself into his chest, he sighed softly and hugged her back. “I was so worried! You should have seen Kiri! W-we had to hold him back!” She buried her face in his chest as she silently cried for her friend.

“No tears! I’m okay and thank you for not letting him do anything stupid...” He pulled her face away to wipe her tears then they walked together to the kitchen. The day was quiet and Izuku was thankful for that. His back bothered him but he still couldn’t believe that Kachan was alive and kicking... he lived that day in his head all over again.

He only had to go out on one call today and it was for an elderly woman that calls a lot for a wellness check, Iida said not to worry about it but Izuku can’t ignore the lonely old woman and she actually had to be taken to the hospital with a broken hip... Iida went a personally apologized to her.

“Not too much longer.” Kirishima pulled the cookies out of the oven. “Soph is coming right?”

“Yeah, my mom is bringing her since she has an appointment to go to.” Izuku sighed as he tried to stretch out his sore back. “I need to take more Advil...”

“You have like two hours bro!”

“I know.” He whined and laid his head on the counter. “I made a stupid mistake... I was too slow.”

“You took off your mask and gave it to a woman! You lost your sight and your lungs filled with smoke. Don’t do that to yourself, you saved those two and that bastard is in jail... win for everyone.” Kirishima held a cookie to his lips. “Eat the goodness.”

“I’m so telling Mina.”

“Well, if it isn’t Dr. Bakugo.” Kirishima grinned down at the shorter man as he continued to force the cookie into his mouth. “Mina loves this poor man, she’s fine when I torture him.” He chuckled and Izuku bit the finger that was near his lips. “Ow!” He pulled away bringing his finger to his mouth.

“Don’t force things into my mouth, ass hat.” Izuku swallowed the cookie and sat up to turn and see Bakugo smirking at him. “Making house calls? I don’t remember calling though.”

“I was around, and I wanted to make sure I didn’t make a fucking mistake letting you leave but I can see you are indeed fine.” Bakugo walked over and leaned on the counter as he looked over him, he snagged a cookie off the plate and took a bite. “Not bad... who made them?”

“My bro! He’s the best baker!”

“No way--”

“Daddy!!”

Izuku jumped off the stool with a grin appearing on his face, he crouched down and held his arms open. A blonde little girl ran and threw herself into Izuku’s chest, he fell back on to his ass and wrapped his arms around the small girl. Bakugo raised an eyebrow at them as he swallowed the cookie that felt like glass moving its way down.

“Princess!!” Izuku nuzzled his nose into her blonde curls. “My baby! I missed and I’m so sorry I missed bedtime!”

“It’s otay daddy! Grammy said you were busy!” She smiled up at her dad as he patted his cheeks with her small hands. “Auntie Uraraka let Grammy go to the doctors!”

“Munchkin! Where’s my hug!?” Kirishima pouted and held up a cookie to her, the little girl gasped and jumped up on her feet then ran over to her uncle. She was instantly picked up and the cookie was placed in her hand. “There’s my girl!”

“I’m pretty sure she’s mine,.” Izuku grunted as he stood up ignoring his back.

“Fight me!” Kirishima held up his free fist and swung his body making the blonde giggle loudly. “Let’s run!” Kirishima took off down the hallway leaving the two men alone.

“Hey! Eiji!” He huffed and picked up another cookie, he took a bite then looked over at Bakugo to find him staring with his scarlet eyes. “What?”

“You... have a kid?”

“Oh! I-I—Sorry!” He smiled and looked down the hallway. “That’s Sophie, my daughter, she’s three and is the sweetest thing you’ll ever meet.”

“Where’s the mom?”

“There... isn’t one.” Izuku shrugged and finished the cookie with a hum. “I used a surrogate, I’m gay anyways so it was easier, and I have a great job and my mom helps a lot.”

“Ha! Told you, Munchkin, he didn’t come for you so that means your mine!” Kirishima laughed and jumped as the bell rang.

“No...” Deku closed his eyes.

Station 13 requesting Aid car to 5th street for a collision.

“Damn it!” Deku busted out and he quickly covered his mouth as Sophie giggled.

“Baddie, word!”

“I know, I know.” He dug in his pocket and handed her a quarter then he looked around at the empty room, he quickly grabbed Sophie and set her on the counter next to Bakugo. “Uh, will you watch her?! Thanks!” Deku ran down the hallway with the redhead.

“D-Deku!? Wait--” He sighed softly as he disappeared, he looked down at the little girl staring up at him with big green eyes.

“You’re Kachan!” The blonde blinked down at her and narrowed his eyes slightly.

“How do you know?”

“My dad has pictures! He tells me stories about you and him playing All Might and heroes!” She smiled and kicked her small legs. “I’m hungry!”

“Let’s go get some food then.” He smiled and picked up the small girl, he was lucky at this moment to have experience with kids... but not Deku’s kid. He pulled out his phone and called his mom.

“Brat, it’s about time you called me.”

“Oh, shut it! You didn’t tell me Deku has a kid?! I know you hang out with Inko,.” hHe growled into the phone and Sophie raised her hands into claws then let out a little growl.

“Are... are you with her?!”

“Deku came to the hospital yesterday and I treated him. I stopped by his station to check on him and Inko dropped off the little Miss. Dimples then Deku got called out to work so he left her with me.” Bakugo chuckled and growled again for the little girl.

“So, you called me why?”

“What does she eat? She’s hungry and I don’t have Deku’s number.”

“Oh! She likes the place down the street, chicken strips with some kind of veggie or Izuku will flip out! I’ll text you his number and be nice to that sweet little angel.”

“Whatever mom.” He hung up and made sure he texted Deku letting him know where they would be before heading out. He opened the door and Sophie whined slightly, he looked down at the girl in his arm to see her wiggle a little.

“What’s up, dimples?”

“I need to go potty.” She whispered and the blonde huffed as he quickly found the bathroom. He set the girl on her feet and she frowned up at him as she gripped her crotch tightly. “I need help!”

“Shit, kid!” Bakugo took her into the stall keeping the door open and he crouched down in front of her. He pulled up her pink dress and then looked away as he pulled down her panties. He lifted her up and kept his eyes on the ceiling, she hummed a little as she went potty then she poked the blonde’s cheek.

“You need to wipe me!” She pouted.

“That’s a hard pass, dimples.”

“Daddy always does! Even Uncle Kiri! Daddy says no wiping is bad and it will make him sad.” She sniffled as tears came to her eyes.

“Alright!” He grabbed some toilet paper then wiped her at top speed, she hopped down and pulled up her panties. The blonde fixed her dress then he helped her wash her hands with his, he placed her on his hip when they were done and they left going to lunch.

Bakugo walked inside and greeted the hostess.

“Well, isn’t it Miss. Sophie!” She smiled and bent forward towards the girl. “Who’s this handsome man that is not your daddy?”

“Daddy’s friend! Daddy had to work and I am hungry!”

“I got your favorite table, sweets, let’s go!” She smiled and led the way to a booth in the back and Bakugo knew why it was her favorite, the window faced the fire house. “Is Midoriya joining you?”

“Probably, he’s out on a call.”

“I’ll get their food ordered, what would you like?” She smiled as she watched Sophie open the box of crayons.

“Anything spicy.”

“Got it.”

Bakugo looked down at Sophie, she pulled out the red crayon and began to color the fire truck. He couldn’t believe Deku has a child and how much she looks like a mini him with blonde hair, all the way down to the freckles.

Deku: Thanks! Um... I might need a favor!

Bakugo: what the fuck would that be?

Deku: Denki called out sick and I have to work, can you... watch her tonight? There’s a key under the plant by my front door. I’d ask my mom but she can’t be stressed that much with her heart.

Bakugo: You trust me with your kid?!

Deku: I trust you with my life

Deku: She’s a good girl but no cussing or you owe her a quarter.

Bakugo: Fine...

“Alright, Dimples, I guess I’m spending the night at your house., Ddad’s got to work late.” He smiled at the waitress when she set down the food. “Eat.” He pushed the plate in front of her and she didn’t say anything as she ate and colored at the same time. He watched her carefully., Sshe was a lot like Deku and he knew she had something to say but she didn’t want to tell him.

Bakugo got Deku’s food to go and he held out his hand to the little girl, she took it and they walked out together then back to the fire station.

“Daddy?!”

Deku jumped slightly then turned around, he was covered in blood as he cleaned the ambulance. Shit. Kirishima walked up and slammed the door shut to hide the bloodied man inside, he grinned down at the little girl.

“Hey munchkin, daddy was really silly and slipped tomato juice all over, he’s in a big time out!” He laughed and covered the small girl's ears with his hands as he looked up at Bakugo, his smile never leaving as his eyes grew dark. “You may be some bad ass doctor but I will fuck you up if you fuck with my niece. Zuku is way to fucking nice and I don’t know if I trust you at all...”

“And what would I do to a fucking three-year-old?”

“If you make her cry once, your fucked.” He dropped his hands and moved them to her cheeks, squishing them. “I have to go give daddy pow-pows now.”

“No! He not bad!” She pouted against his hands then she pointed to the bag. “Daddy needs dinner!”

“Okay, munchkin. Have fun with...”

“Kachan!”

Kirishima’s eyes widen as he looked back up at the blonde man. He stood up and took the bag of food before he waved goodbye and walked away.

“Let’s go, Dimples. Show me the way to your house.” She smiled and skipped ahead still holding his hand, he made sure to look at the address when she stopped in front of the complex. He nodded and followed her inside and up to her floor, he spotted the plant and grabbed the key from underneath. He unlocked the door and Sophie pushed it open running inside, he smiled as he shut the door and found her disappearing down the hallway.

“Kachan! We take bath!”

“Excuse me?!”

“Daddy always takes bath with me!” She pouted her head out from a doorway. “We do bath every night!”

“And if daddy’s not here?”

“Grammy can’t lift me anymore cause I’ll break her heart... so she doesn’t give me a bath anymore.”

“Uh, pick out some pajamas and I’ll be there.” He pulled out his phone and sighed as he dialed the number.

“Sexy doctor, what can I fix for you?”

“You are dating! Stop flirting with everyone!” He groaned and slapped his hand on his forehead. “Look, I need you to come over and give a little girl a bath, she wants me to get in with her and I-I can’t do that!”

“You’re... babysitting?!”

“Deku’s kid that I didn’t know he had and you didn’t tell me about!”

“I didn’t know you even knew him! Oooooo he’s the guy you like?! OMG! This is exciting! I can’t wait to tell Kiri!” He could hear Mina grinning on the other end.

“NO! You can’t because that’s his best friend, Mina. Jesus!”

“Well, you need to impress him by taking care of the sweetie, get your ass in that tub with her!” She hung up and he slammed his head down on the wall. Fuck. “Bath time it is!” He walked down the hallway to the large bathroom and started to fill the tub. Sophie appeared behind him butt naked like the day she was born; he couldn’t help but laugh a little then stripped down to his boxers and lifted her into the tub and sat down with her next to her crossed legs.

“Kachan?”

“Hmm?” He answered as he cupped water with his hands to wet her hair.

“Why did you leave daddy?” Bakugo stiffened with the shampoo bottle in his hand, he blinked as he saw her about to turn around then squeezed some out into her hair and began to work it gently into a lather.

“I... got sick and then I couldn’t find him.”

“You should have tried harder!” She slammed her fist into the water making a small splash. “He misses you!”

“I don’t think so, Dimples.” He rinsed her hair and grabbed the comb that sat on the edge, he gently brushed out of the tangles.

“Yes, he does!” She turned to face him, her bright green eyes blazing up at him. “Don’t leave him anymore... you have to pinkie promise.” She held up her pinkie to the man.

“Whatever makes you happy.” He wrapped his pinkie around hers, he was happy to make that promise.

They got out of the tub and he dried her off then helped her into her footie pajamas. He grabbed a pair of Deku’s boxers and got dressed in his clothes from earlier, he spent five minutes looking for hair products and hair ties in the bathroom until he found them in her room.

“Let’s do your hair.” Bakugo smiled at the girl and gave her two French braids, she sat perfectly still and bounced up at the end. “Bed time.”

“Aww!” She frowned and followed her arms. “Daddy gonna call?”

“Let me find out.” He tried calling and he didn’t pick up, he looked down at the blonde who looked like she was about to cry as her lower lip wobbled and her eyes grew big. “I know someone we can call.” He smiled and he picked her up walking to her room, he laid her in bed and climbed in next to her after covering her up. He facetimed his mom in the end.

“Grandma?!”

“My sweet Soph! What are you doing up this late?? Is Grammy okay?”

“Daddy had to work... again but Kachan is with me!” She smiled up at the man then looked back at the phone as she snuggled into the blankets.

“Katsuki? You’re babysitting her tonight?” He moved the phone to face her and he glared at her. “Don’t give me that, brat! You think Inko would hide her from me? I’m her grandma and get over it.”

“Old hag fits better.” He smirked at his mother who just rolled her eyes.

“Izuku didn’t answer?” He shook his head. “Well, just make sure she can find you at night. She doesn’t sleep well if he doesn’t answer.”

“Got it, mom.”

“Nightie, night, grandma!” She blew the phone a kiss and Mitsuki said her goodbyes. He hung up the phone and Sophie snuggled into his side and used his chest as a pillow. He felt his heart flutter as he looked down at her, he softly played with his braid as he thought about the past until his brain told him to go to sleep.

Deku sighed tiredly as he entered his home at four in the morning. He kicked off his shoes and dropped his bag by the door. He felt awful for missing her bedtime call last night and he just wanted to give her a big squeeze. He walked down the hallway and walked into her bedroom, his eyes widened as he found Bakugo on his back and Sophie snuggled on top of him. He was about to melt into a puddle.

He pulled the blanket over them and kissed Sophie’s head softly. He left the room and barely made it to his bed before passing out.

Deku rubbed his eyes when he finally woke up, he could hear voices out in the living room and he slowly sat up then looked at the time. It was already noon!? He jumped up be stopped as he heard Bakugo talking.

“Dimples. Let daddy sleep, he came home really late.”

“No! He promised the beach and he never break a promise!” She stomped her foot. Oh no. Here it comes. Deku bit his lip as he heard the scream then winced as she threw herself on the floor in a full-blown tantrum.

“Oi! What the fu—in the world are you doing?!” Deku peeked out to see Bakugo crouching down next to her. “We can sit here all day or you can stop it.” Sophie sniffled and looked up at the blonde but kicked her feet against the wood.

“Oh, I can play that game.” Bakugo laid down and kicked his feet every time she did. After about two minutes of kicking the floor, she broke out in a fit of giggles, she climbed on to the blonde’s chest and sat down. “All done?”

“I sorry.”

“Good job saying you're sorry, Princess.” Deku walked out of the door way smiling.

“Daddy!! It’s beach day and you didn’t get up!” She pouted and looked away as he held out his arms for a hug. Bakugo bit his lip to keep from laughing as Deku’s face fell.

“You wound me!” Deku held his hands over his heart and dramatically feel to the floor. “Goodbye... Princess...” He closed his eyes and let his fall limply.

“Daddy!” She gasped and looked over at him. “Kachan! Fix him!”

“Hah?! You broke him!”

“You have to fix him!” She tugged on his hand then crawled over to him. “Kachan!!”

“Jeez you are pushy; I say we leave him.” Bakugo laughed as she glared at him, he poked Deku’s cheek and rolled his eyes as he played dead. “Don’t worry, I’ll fix him.” Bakugo smirked as he straddled the shorter man’s waist, he felt him stiffen under his weight then he began to tickle him.

“Kaaaaachannnnnn!” He laughed as he tried to fight the blonde man’s hands. “Noooo!” He tried to turn but he was trapped by Bakugo’s legs.

“You think he’s had enough?” He looked at Sophie who giggled and nodded, Bakugo stopped to let Deku breathe and he wore a grin on his face. “I won’t fix you again.” He rolled off and got to his feet.

“I hate that you know that about me.” He muttered as he sat up and Sophie moved her way into his lap.

“Daddy! Baddie, word.” She held out her hand.

“I’m going to be broke.” He dug out a quarter and dropped it into her hand.

“He didn’t say anything bad?” Bakugo looked confused.

“The H word is baddie.” She whispered and jumped up then ran away.

Deku got up and smiled over at the blonde.

“Thank you for watching her. I owe you big time... I hope she was good for you.” He bit his lip as he glanced down the hallway.

“She was an angel, but I think she’s big enough to take baths alone.”

“Never! She’s, my baby!”

“Deku, she’s three. Sit outside the tub because if I have to babysit again, I’m not going to get in with her.” Bakugo looked in the fridge then turned to glare at him. “Do you not like to feed your child?!”

“I do! We... go out a lot!” His cheeks turned pink as he looked away. “Wait! You’ll babysit again?!”

“Yeah. I don’t mind dimples that much so if you need someone sure but next time my place because this is too much.” He chuckled and shut the fridge. “So, what’s with the promise of the beach?”

“It was... stupid of me really. I promised her things and I never break them, well, until today. I didn’t mean to sleep the day away.”

“Let’s go then.”

“What?”

“I have nothing planned today and the beach sounds like fun.”

***

It’s been a week since the beach and Deku didn’t even text him once. It hurt and he tried to ignore it but he kept checking his phone every hour. He would never admit it but he missed Deku and Dimples. He frowned down at the chart on his tablet, he just wanted to... He shook his head as he pushed that thought back and got back to work.

“Bakugo! Trauma coming in hot!” Mina yelled.

“Get them to bay one!” He threw off his coat and his eyes widened at the shouting from the hallway.

“TOUCH ME AGAIN AND I WILL HURT YOU!”

Bakugo grabbed some gloves and he ran into the hallway to see Deku fighting against two male nurses as the stretcher rolled to him. He looked down to see Sophie and he plastered a fake smile to his lips.

“Dimples? What’s going on?” He checked her pupils and looked at the paramedic.

“Peanut allergy. Airway almost closed at the scene; she’s had two EpiPens.” The paramedic winced as Deku started to scream again.

“THAT’S MY BABY AND I’M ALLOWED TO SEE HER!”

“Mina! Take care of Mr. Midoriya while I take his daughter to a room.” Bakugo pushed the stretcher and Sophie frowned as she lost sight of her dad. “Dimples, can you tell me what happened?”

“Cookies... at... daddy’s work...” She wheezed out and winces at the tightness.

Bakugo picked her up and took her into the room, he laid her down and got her hookup to the monitors and started an IV. She didn’t notice the needle going into her arm, which was perfect, the doctor sat down on the bed and felt around her neck at the swollen glands.

“You get to have a sleep over. Doesn’t that sound fun?” He smiled at her and pushed her hair out of her eyes. “Why don’t you get some sleep and I will calm down your daddy. He’s very worried about you.”

“Otay...” She whispered and curled up on her side, he stayed until she was asleep which was just a few minutes. He sighed as he got up and walked back to where the shouting was happening.

“Bro! Stop!” Kirishima had Deku pinned against the ground with his hands under the red head’s knee and Mina was about to inject him.

“Oi!” Mina jumped back and the green eyes lifted quickly to meet him. “Deku, I understand your worry but you need to calm the fuck down.” The green curls moved as he nodded his head quickly, Kirishima slowly got up and pulled the shorter man to his feet. “She’s okay, she’s sleeping and you will not be fucking wake her up.”

“Thank you!” He threw his arms around Bakugo’s neck and buried his face into his chest to cry. “T-thank you, Kachan!”

“That’s why I’m a doctor.” He hugged the man back. “She’s fine, but where did she get a peanut butter cookie?”

“From the woman he saved a few weeks ago, she got into them when we were getting ready to leave the station.” He frowned. “It’s my fault, I was watching her.”

“First off, she’s a kid and they get into everything. Second, both of you had better stop with the pity party. Mina take them to her room if they are going to let her sleep.” The blonde shrugged out of the firefighter’s hold and walked away to a on call room. He sagged back against the door and closed his eyes as the tears fought their way out. “Damn it!” He wiped his cheeks quickly and ran a hand through his hair. Get it together! She’s not your child!

He wanted her to be his... he wanted to be with that fucking nerd and be with them. It’s only been a week but he always loved Izuku and now his daughter had a place in his heart. He was so screwed. The doctor wiped his eyes and took a few deep breaths then exited the on-call room. He walked down the hallway to check on his other patients when he saw Deku and his friend in the hallway.

“It’s not your fault! I don’t blame you and she won’t either, Eiji. We’ll put a sign on the door and say it’s a peanut free zone or something.” Deku laid his head on the red head’s shoulder, sighing. “I could have lost her... I can’t lose you too.”

“I’m not going anywhere, bro.”

Bakugo quickly made his rounds and fought the urge to go check on them, he knew how Deku was and that this was hard especially after he thought he was dead for so long. He spent the rest of the night keeping himself busy until he had to go check on Sophie, he knocked on the door and found his nurse in her street clothes laying on the bed next to Sophie.

“I’m pretty sure you’re not the patient.” He smiled over at the little girl.

“I sent the boys away to get some food and coffee, Zuku looked like he was about to fall over.” Mina smiled and poked Sophie’s nose. “Can’t have daddy falling down, can we?”

“Kachan! I all better!” She smiled brightly up at the doctor and his chest suddenly ached.

“I see that!” He sat down next to her and performed his exam then typed a few things into her chart. “I think you can go home today. Does that sound good?”

“Yup! Daddy said we get to go to the store and pick up a new movie!” She snuggled into Mina’s side. “You come too? Auntie and uncle are coming...”

“Oh, baby, your Kachan will be coming.” Mina smirked over at the doctor when the little girl wasn’t looking. “He just got off work too!”

“Yay! Daddy will be happy too!”

“Why’s that, dimples?” He leaned back on to his elbow to see her face.

“It’s a secret...” She whispered and leaned towards him; she cupped her hands around his ear. “Daddy... likes you.” She giggled and pulled away.

“Oh, really?” He couldn’t help but smile. “And where did you hear that from?”

“Daddy was talking to Grammy about it!” She put a finger to her chin as she thought about something. “He said... um... I don’t remember!” She pouted at the doctor; Bakugo looked at Mina who was trying her best to hold it together. The door opened and Sophie lit up like the fourth of July.

“Hey Babygirl.” Deku smiled at her but his eyes were exhausted, he had purple bags under them after a night of no sleep and worry.

“Daddy! Daddy! Kachan said he come to movie night!”

“That’s nice baby.” Deku nodded but he really wasn’t paying attention as he sipped his coffee and watched her closely like she was about to go into an allergic reaction again.

“Daddy? What did you say when you were talking to Grammy that night?” Oh boy. Bakugo looked over at Mina and she put her hand over her mouth.

“Hmm?” He tilted his head as he came out of the fog. “What are you talking about, Soph?”

“Yesterday!” The toddler had no sense of time. “You told Grammy that you like Kachan but I can’t remember what you said!” She pouted and pointed to Bakugo. “I want to tell him!”

Deku choked on his drink and turned around quickly to grab a tissue, he cleaned his chin up and Sophie frowned over at her dad. The firefighter turned around with his cheeks bright red.

“Now, Sophie we talked about this; we don’t listen in on what the grown-ups are talking about in private.”

“But you like Kachan!”

“Sophie!”

“Well, Deku what’s so wrong with liking me?” Bakugo laid back on the end of the bed to look up at the other man. “I’m a pretty sweet catch.”

“Smooth...” Kirishima muttered and Deku elbowed him quickly in the ribs. “Ow!”

“Let’s go do movie night!” Mina picked up Sophie then grabbed Deku’s hand as she dragged him out of the door.

“You like my bro?”

“Shut it, shitty hair.” Bakugo got up and grabbed his work bag to follow Mina.

“That wasn’t a no.” Kirishima grinned as they walked down the hallway.

Sophie picked Frozen which wasn’t a surprise to the blonde man, it was one of the most famous movies out right now. Deku got her an Elsa dress and they left target with bags full of snacks and food for dinner. The doctor watched the other man move sluggishly around the house as he put things away and pulled out pots and pans for dinner.

“Let me do it.” Bakugo took the pan from his hands. “You go fucking lay down.”

“Baddie!” Sophie skipped into the kitchen holding out her hand.

“You got me, dimples.” He smiled and grabbed a quarter from his pocket, he dropped it in her hands and she skipped away with her dress flying behind her. “Deku, I can cook.”

“N-no... it’s fine.” He muttered and filled the pot with water to put on the stove.

“I swear you are still freaking stubborn!” He bent down and picked up the firefighter over his shoulder. “Mina order some pizza! I’m going to put this nerd to bed.” He walked down the hallway and into his bedroom, he shut the door with his foot and made his way to the bed. He laid Deku down and pulled the blankets over him. “Now, go to fucking sleep. I know you are going to go in for your shift tomorrow and I can’t have you dying.”

“I’m fine, Kachan!” His green eyes glared at him.

“Doesn’t matter, nerd. I can’t have you dying before I take you on a date.”

“D-date?” He squeaked out and the blonde nodded his head.

“We’ve got dimples, just go to sleep.” Bakugo walked out of the room and shut the door, he went to the living room and sat down on the couch. It didn’t take long before Sophie was in his lap snuggling into his chest.

The pizza came and the little girl was like her dad in a lot of ways, she ate four pieces of pizza then passed out half way through the movie with her tummy full. He covered them with a blanket and played with her curls as he watched the movie, he was pulled from the movie as Deku’s phone went off on the coffee table. He reached down carefully and saw Inko’s name on the screen, he panicked for a second as he answered.

“Auntie? Is everything alright?” He looked over at the other two adults sleeping together on the loveseat, he made sure to keep his voice low.

“Katsuki!? Is Izuku okay?! What about Sophie?!” She began to panic.

“They’re both asleep. Why are you calling so late?”

“I-I’m going to be leaving with a friend out of the state to a clinic that could help with my heart... I leave tomorrow and I can’t help with Sophie.” He could hear the tears in her voice. “He’s going to be so upset! H-he doesn’t have anyone and Mitsuki can’t take her with the new fashion line!” Inko let out a soft cry making the blonde frown.

“Auntie, I’ll watch her and there is daycare at the hospital too.”

“R-really?! Izuku would love that! He couldn’t stop talking about you and how good you are with her! Sophie loves you so much already!” Inko paused and he rolled his eyes.

“I’ll tell him, don’t worry.”

“Thank you, Katsuki. Take care of them for me? Izuku doesn’t remember to sleep or eat or leave for work some days. I can’t remember when he did anything without Soph.”

“Well, I’m taking him on a date soon and I already have a babysitter so he can’t say no.” He chuckled lightly. “I’ll take care of them, I’m a doctor after all.”

“Thank you so much.” She hung up and Bakugo looked down at the little girl in his lap, he didn’t know what he just signed up for but he liked it.

“Zuku! You better be up!” Kirishima banged on the door to his bedroom. “The test is today!!”

“Shit!” The door flew open and Deku walked out wearing only pants as he walked to the dryer. “Where is it?!” He bent over and searched through the dryer then pulled out his white undershirt. “That’s today?! Since when!” Deku pulled the shirt over his head and ran his fingers through his damp curls.

“Seriously, bro? You’ll do fine! You spent every waking minute studying!”

“What test?” Bakugo asked from the couch where he slept with Sophie.

“He’s taking the lieutenant exam today! My proud boy!” Kirishima chuckled as he finished buttoning up his shirt.

“That’s why you ignored me for a week.” Bakugo raised an eyebrow at the other man. “Makes sense, can I stop by the station after you're done?”

“Uh, yeah, of course!” Deku smiled nervously and pulled on his boots. “We need to go, Eiji!” The firefighter walked over to the blonde little girl and kissed her head lightly. “Love you.”

“Get out of here before your late, nerd.” He smiled and Deku nodded, both of the firefighters left and he looked over at Mina who was grinning at him.

“Living the dream?” Mina asked.

“What are you talking about?”

“Step daddy?” She sighed rolling her hazel eyes. “Bakugo, I know you and I know that you love that little girl with all your heart and I know that you love her daddy. Just don’t wait too long.”

“I’ve loved him for years... I think I can wait a little longer.” Bakugo looked down at the little girl again as his heart swelled.

The rest of the morning went by with ease, he got Sophie dressed and fed then he went about cleaning while Mina played with in the bedroom, he knew that Deku was overworked and with the peanut thing he didn’t have the time to pick up. Bakugo liked to clean and it was one of the things he liked about hospitals, it was always clean. Around 3pm he got a text from Deku saying his exam was done and he could stop by.

“Mina? I’m going to be back in a bit, you got her?”

“Of course!”

Bakugo left the apartment and took a small walk down to the fire station; he was greeted by someone he knew and it pissed him off.

“Icyhot.”

“Bakugo? I’m pretty sure your fancy building is the other way.” Todoroki walked over holding a rag in his hands.

“I’m here to see De—Izuku.” Bakugo shoved his hands in his pockets.

“He’s up in the kitchen.”

Bakugo walked up the stairs to the kitchen where he found Deku laughing and with a girl, he whipped the towel at her ass making her yelp.

“You ass!” She whirled at him and he jumped back out of her reach. “That’s it Izu!”

“Come at me... bitch.” He smirked over at her and stood on the other side of the island. She glanced behind then a smirk fell on her lips, she picked up the pitcher of water and threw the water at him. “Uraraka!” He gasped and quickly pulled off his soaking shirt. “You child!”

“I didn’t feel like chasing you!” She laughed as she turned to the stove. “You have a visitor.”

Deku turned around and the blonde bit the inside of his cheek as he looked over the dripping wet hair and the toned torso, Deku did bulk up in the years he was gone.

“Kachan!” He smiled cheekily at him and bent down using a towel in his hand to wipe up the water. “Why’d you want to stop by?”

“Can we talk... somewhere more private?”

“Yeah, locker room should be empty and I need a new shirt now anyways.” He shot a dead glare at the brunette before he walked to the stairs.

“Love you, babe!”

The blonde followed Deku to the locker that was indeed empty, he leaned on the locker next to Deku’s as he watched the other man look for a shirt.

“Your mom called you last night and I answered it.” Deku raised an eyebrow at him. “She’s going out of state with a friend, she didn’t say who, but she was freaking out about you and Sophie...” Deku blinked at the blonde but hummed for him to keep going. “I said I’d help out and babysit on your shifts and the hospital has daycare too.” He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. “I’m not trying to overstep but she was crying and you know how your mom is.”

“That’s why she wasn’t there this morning.” He sat down on the bench. “I can’t burden you with this, Kachan.”

“De--”

“No, this is my life and I’ll figure it out. I have time off and you have a life! I don’t want to take up your free time! I work terrible hours and sometimes I don’t get to come home.” He leaned back against the locker; his shirt forgotten.

“Izuku, it’s fine, I like Sophie and she loves me! Your mom said.” He smiled over at the other man. “Your mom already left and I’m available, so let me? Someone has to help you and you can repay me with the date.”

“Kachan...”

“Deal with it, nerd. It’s already happening.”

***

Their first date was nice, Bakugo took him out to dinner where they laughed and talked until the restaurant closed. Bakugo wanted to tell him but tonight he would go alone to his bed since Deku had the night off and he would take her to the hospital in the morning.

“This was nice, Kachan.” Deku smiled up at the blonde. “M-maybe we could do it again?”

“Fuck yes.” Bakugo stopped by the firefight’s apartment door. “I’ll see you in the morning at the hospital?”

“Yup! Thanks for helping me again... it means a lot.” Deku smiled and Bakugo couldn’t hold back, he leaned down and pressed his lips down gently on his. Deku gasped slightly but overcame it and pressed back, his hand laid on the blonde’s chest as their lips moved slowly against each other’s. The blonde gripped his hips pulling him closer and pressed deeper into the kiss. He had wanted this for so long, he wanted to pour his heart into the kiss. Deku was the first to pull away panting softly as he laid his forehead against the doctor’s.

“Kachan...” He whispered softly.

“I-I was going to wait... until like the fourth date but I couldn’t control myself. The last month has been fucking amazing and I don’t want to do anymore without you.” Bakugo closed his eyes.

“Well, I love you, always have.” Deku whispered and cupped the blonde’s cheek with his hand.

“I-I love you too.”

The relationship started that minute.

They went on more dates, some with Sophie and some without. Deku put Bakugo on all the emergency forms and the blonde was pretty much living at Deku’s house. Sophie was thrilled about all the sleepovers Bakugo was doing and she loved his cooking so much. It became a routine, Bakugo would pick up Sophie from daycare, come home then get dinner started after they played for a while in her room. Deku would come home exhausted and the blonde would take his bag and coat then force him into the shower. Deku would come out in his dumb shirts and sweat pants and play with Sophie while he plated dinner, he would call them both to eat and they all sat at the table together.

It’s been three months and Sophie brought down the hammer.

“Are you my daddy too?” She looked at Bakugo who choked on his food he was trying to swallow. “That what Auntie said!”

Deku didn’t answer as he pushed another bite of food into his mouth, that bastard.

“Well... Sophie.” Bakugo ran a hand through his hair and looked over at Deku who just looked away from the table, the blonde brought his heel down onto the firefighter's bare foot.

“Ow!” Deku yelped and scrunched his nose at the pain. “Princess, that’s a very hard question to answer.”

“No, it not!”

“Sophie Midoriya, do not yell at the table.” Deku frowned slightly as he set his fork down. “What has got you so worked up about this?”

“Everyone else as two parents!” She crossed her arms and turned her head away. “Mommy’s and daddy’s pick up the other kids together and I only have one!”

Deku reached under the table and squeezed the doctor’s thigh, he was telling him it was okay if he was okay with it.

“And what would you call me?” Bakugo grinned at the little girl.

“Papa!”

“Sounds good to me.” He smiled and the little girl was about to jump down from her chair.

“No, no you! You sit and eat.” Deku blinked past the pout that would send the doctor to his knees for her. “You can snuggle papa after dinner while I do the dishes, but you need to eat.”

“Otay, daddy...” She poutful went to eating.

Once Sophie was done eating, she ran to her room and slammed her door shut as hard as her little body could. Deku sighed heavily and got up roughly from the table, he grabbed the dishes and started to clean up dinner.

“Izuku...”

“Don’t, just don’t.” Deku sighed and set the dish in the sink then turned around. “I-I love you... I love you so much but the idea of sharing her scares me... what—Just...” Deku wiped his eyes quickly and turned back to the sink. “W-what if she doesn’t love me anymore...”

“Zuku, you could have said no.”

“I didn’t want to! I want you to be her other dad! I’ve dreamed about it for years, Katsuki. Years and I finally have it and I’m so happy but also terrified.” Deku picked up the plate and slowly started to wash it again.

“Well, I think you are an amazing dad.” Bakugo walked up behind his boyfriend and wrapped his arms around his waist. “Fucking fantastic dad, that little shit talks about you like there’s no tomorrow.”

“You are going to owe her a lot of money.” Deku chuckled lightly and laid his head back on the blonde’s shoulder. “I’m putting my will together and I’m leaving her to you if something happens...”

“W-what?!”

“She loves you and wants you to be her other dad. My job is dangerous, and I want to leave her to you if something happens.” Deku closed his eyes. “You’ll just have to accept it.”

“You’re not going anywhere.”

Just like that... Bakugo jinx it. Deku sighed tiredly as his phone began to ring, he pulled out of his boyfriend’s hold and walked over to the table where his phone sat. He groaned and put it to his ear.

“Hello?... Seriously?!... No, I’m-- I have to talk to Kachan first... yes, my mom isn’t in town. Iida, I’ll be there. I understand.... Goodnight.” He hung up the phone and Bakugo leaned against the counter with his arms crossed. “We are going out to help with the forest fires tomorrow and I don’t know when I’m coming back.” Deku ripped off the band aid.

“I got her.”

“Are you sure? I-I can figure out something!”

Bakugo took the firefighter’s cheeks into his rough hands, he looked down into the deep emerald eyes. He loved this man and he would do anything for the two of them.

“Yes, we’ll be fine. Now go spend some time with dimples and I’ll clean up.” Deku nodded and almost ran down the hallway to the bedroom.

It was going to be a rough few weeks.

***

Bakugo stood holding Sophie on his hip as he looked up at his boyfriend in the passenger seat of the fire truck. He didn’t know how long he’d be gone but Deku promised to call when he could and the blonde promised to send updates and picture for him.

“Bye daddy!!” She smiled with tears in her bright green eyes as she waved to her daddy. “Bye Uncle Kiri!” She blew him a kiss and the red head pretended to grab it out of the air then pressed it to his heart.

“Izuku, you better fucking come back to me.” Bakugo whispered at him.

“I will Kachan.” He gave his boyfriend his best smile. “Princess be good.” Bakugo lifted her up and she gave him a big kiss on the cheek. “Daddy’s going to go save all the animals.”

“Love you!” She smiled sadly.

“Love you to the moon and back.” Deku leaned out the window and the blonde met him halfway in a kiss. “I love you.”

“Marry me when you come back.”

“K-Katsuki?”

“I’m dead ass serious. When you get back, we’re getting married.” Bakugo smirked at his now fiancé.

“I’d I-love that.”

Bakugo kissed his lips one more time before stepping back, they watched the fire truck drive away. The blonde looked down at his daughter and smiled.
