Chapter Text

1. Obviously, the first incident has to be at the award ceremony. It was the pair's first outing (that we know of) as a couple. We just love how they can't seem to take their eyes off of each other while Pro Hero Deku is on stage.

2. The second notable occasion can go to none other than this time a fan spotted the two leaving a restaurant just a week or so after the Look™ incident. Shout out to OP of this for getting us a video!! We just love the way Midoriya tugs him closer with a hand around his waist, and the expression Bakugou sends him has us hot and bothered just looking at it!

3. Alright, the third addition to this list is near and dear to our hearts at GrapeVine. We actually witnessed our favourite hero duo fighting crime right outside our studio! After the battle (which obviously was over almost instantly, that's our boys for you!) we watched with baited breath as Bakugou went to check on Midoriya, who had been hit by an attack during the fight! The feisty blond looked like he was about to punch Deku, but instead we got this touching moment. The way Ground Zero burrowed into his chest had us squee-ing for days on end!! 🤭

4. Okay, four definitely goes out to the first kiss caught on camera. We'll set the scene for you: Wonder Duo leaves their favourite bar with Red Riot (another GrapeVine favourite, and the man who snuck this photo!!), presumably teasing occurs, Bakugou curls a fist into Midoriya's hair and pulls him down for this mind-blowing moment! We can't thank you enough, Red Riot!! We have our PR people working on a gift basket for you. 😍

5. And finally, our fifth and final (for now!) time has to be this: the moment it was revealed (on live TV no less!) that Midoriya also bore a bonding mark. We really can't get over Deku's face as he explains why he wanted Ground Zero to mark him as well. You can really see the love there. And let's not forget Bakugou's first, genuine smile on record!! Look at the way they're staring at each other on that couch. Look at the hand on the back of Bakugou's neck. Look at our boys being in love and not afraid to show it. We have heart palpitations just thinking about this moment.

@tokyobaby-7 100% agree, OP. I think Deku made a huge mistake letting himself get marked, especially by someone like that. He could do so much better.

@tokyobaby-7 @realisminaction lol that bitch must be a good fuking lay to get our prohero deku trapped.....i read about that sluts past b4 and theres NO FKING WAY that pu$$y is still tight!! why deku want those sloppy 2nds lmao

Katsuki-is-King [4 hours ago]

@tokyobaby-7 @realisminaction @2Kool4skool I'm disgusted by these comments, and Pro Hero Deku would be too! They're clearly happy together, so I don't understand why you people are hating on Ground Zero like this. Love is love, asshats.

HeroLover69 [3 hours ago]

@Katsuki-is-King I agree, but trolls will be trolls. Don't egg them on. They're just jealous.

Tokyobaby-7 [3 hours ago]

@HeroLover69 lmao jealous? I'm so hurt by that accusation. I stand by what I said. Bakugou should be settling down now that they're mated. I've heard that he's said in interviews he doesn't plan to have kids, but how is that fair to Midoriya? How is it fair to us? They could be breeding the next Symbol of Peace. Bakugou should just accept his lot in life.

Katsuki-is-King [3 hours ago]

@Tokyobaby-7 holy shit you did not just say that. Ground Zero's body is his own!!! He doesn't have to bear children for you, Deku, or anyone if he doesn't want to!!! ffs do we live in the fucking dark ages??

Alien Queen | Vlog #265: Talking Love with the a Special Guest™ [JAP/ENG subtitles]

“Hey babes! Welcome back to my channel! Today, you're all in for a treat, because I convinced someone to come on the show that I never thought I'd be able to. I'm sure he needs no introduction! Katsuki-kuuun! Say hi to my followers!!”

“Get that fuckin' thing out of my face, you pink menace.”

“Boo-hoo, Blasty, you agreed to come on the show! This is what it takes to be a staaar!”

“You bribed me with food! And you're a fuckin' liar. All've gotten is goddamned liquor so far. Where's my curry, wench?!”

“Okay, so maybe I only got him to come on the show because I got him drunk, but heeeyyyy that's showbiz!”

“Tha fuck you on about, Pinky Pie??”

“Don't you worry your sweet little head, Katsuki-kun. Hey, no, stop! Don't explode that pillow! My mom made that pillowcase for me! Okay, yes, drop it. Good boy. Now, shake a paw. NO, NOT THE SLIPPERS, YOU MONSTER! It was a joke, Splodey. Just a joke.

“Alright, everyone, let's get down to tonight's main topic: love. Katsuki, dearest, would you care to start the conversation, as the only one of us in a loving, committed relationship?”

“You talkin' 'bout shitty Deku?”

“See, viewers, you can just really feel the love exuding from his every pore when he mentions his mate. Ahh, young love. I had to suffer through over ten years of these two dancing around each other before I took a stand. That's right, my loves, it was I, Ashido Mina, who finally gave these star-crossed lovers the push they needed!”

“Die.”

“Dearest Baka-gou, please tell the audience every nauseating, juicy detail about your relationship with the Symbol of Peace. C'mon, please? Do it for the views, man. I'll actually take you to that curry restaurant I mentioned. I promise. Just give us a little something-something!”

“Fuck off and die.”

“I think I hear your phone ringing, my love. Go ahead and pick it up. Hey, babes, this part's just for you! I convinced Midoriya to give us a little help getting an honest reaction out of our Blasty Boy here. Let's watch.”

“--m'at Mina's. Mm, just a couple drinks. She told me she'd feed me, but that bitch hasn't even tried to yet.”

“Friends, I'll try to stay quiet from here out so we don't miss anything.”

“What time's your shift over tonight? Oh...s'fuckin' late. Haah?! No, you idiot, I don't fuckin' miss you. You got a big fuckin' head, nerd.”

“Sorry, are you all seeing this blushing boy before us?”

“Make sure you wake me up when you get home. Yeah. Yeah, I fuckin' know, stupid. I just wanna see your face. That doesn't mean I miss you, asshole. Yeah. Okay. Be safe, 'Zuku. Love you.”

“O-ho-ho-ho? What do we have here? A confession of love? Cute pet names? Tell us, Katsuki. Have you always been such a tsundere?”

“F-fuck you, bubblegum bitch!”

“I'm so happy that this is real life. It's like watching your OTP actually becoming cannon! Alright, my loves, I'm going to stop things here before Splodey 'splodes my phone. Please subscribe if you want more BakuDeku content! I'm planning to get a lot more in the future! No, Katsuki, stay away! Ahhh! I love you guys! Hopefully I'm alive for me to see y'all next week!”

~~~

Katsuki stares up at the sign above the doorway, clenching his jaw. Deku squeezes his hand comfortingly, bringing it up to press a kiss on the back of it.

“You sure about this, Kacchan?” the alpha asks, concern in his gaze. Katsuki nods firmly, his expression unchanging. They had talked about this for a long time, and this was the solution they had come up with (for now at least). A year and a half into their relationship, Deku had divulged to Katsuki that he truly did want to have a family, but had insisted that he didn't need to if it made the blond uncomfortable. What had followed was not an argument, per say, but more of a long debate of pros and cons, figuring out what they both wanted and didn't, and ultimately deciding on a solution. Today is the first day they will be trying out that solution.

The omega man pushes the button to open the sliding door, and the two walk inside. The interior of the building is simple, clean. A few cozy armchairs scatter the vicinity, and a big, curved desk resides off to one side. As they approach the desk, a short, plump woman bounds out of her seat, dipping into a respectful bow that the duo returns.

“Bakugou-san, Midoriya-san, so lovely to meet you both in person! I'm the one you coordinated this over the phone with. Matsumori Rinko, at your service.”

“It's a pleasure to meet you, Matsumori-san,” Deku greets politely, exchanging cards with the small woman. Katsuki imitates the gesture, bowing as he accepts the woman's information.

“Nice to meet you,” he murmurs, tucking her card into his wallet to free his hands. Matsumori-san beams at him, nodding to herself.

“Oh, yes, I think I know just the one for you two,” she tells them, coming out from behind the desk and gesturing for the duo to follow her. “His parents were both Pro Heroes, who unfortunately passed away in the line of duty. He has an aunt, whom is also a Pro, but she's stationed in South Korea currently, and can't be here to take him in. I just have an idea that you'll all make a great match.” The two exchange a confused glace, but follow without question. The woman leads them through a door that lets them further into the facilities. A warmly lit hallway lies behind the doorway, and a number of rooms line the hall. Most of the doors are open, if just a inch, and curious faces peer out from behind them, watching the Pro Heroes pass.

They're led to a nondescript door down the hall that, strangely, lies fully closed. Matsumori-san knocks gently before letting herself inside, murmuring a soft “excuse me”. A young boy lays on a small bed within the room, which is mostly bare of personal effects, save for one framed photo on the shelf near the bed, and a red hat with horns sitting on the pillow next to him. The boy sits up immediately upon their entrance, reeling away to sit flush against the wall, wariness extremely noticeable on his face. Katsuki hears Deku make a small, sad noise before turning to the woman next to them for instruction.

“Kota, these men are here to meet you,” Matsumori-san says gently, gesturing at the pair while looking at the boy. “Can you greet them? You might be going to stay with them, if you all like each other.”

The boy, Kota, glares back at them, his small body tense with anger. Deku takes a step forward, then another, until he's within a meter of the boy. Katsuki hums warningly at his mate, recognizing the almost feral look in the boy's eye. This won't bode well for Deku.

“Um, hi! I'm Midoriya Izuku. You might recognize me by my Pro Hero name, Deku? It's nice to meet you.”

The next moment moves as if in slow motion. Katsuki watches the boy lunge forward in silence, his tiny hand clenched into a fist, and punch Deku directly in the crotch. The alpha buckles over almost immediately, his hands going to his wounded balls as a pained raptor screech flies from his mouth. Katsuki can't help but burst out laughing as his mate goes down hard, curling into the fetal position on the floor. The young boy casts his eyes to the blond man, then, glaring as he continues to laugh uproariously.

“Kota! How could you--”

“Kid, that was fucking gold,” Katsuki gets out through tears of laughter, interrupting the woman's scolding. Deku moans from the floor, making the omega's cackling continue. The short woman next to him sends him a sharp glare for his language, and he apologizes quickly, calming his chuckles as he approaches the boy. Katsuki crouches down next to the bed, placing a hand on Deku's thigh to stroke it while releasing calming pheromones. Everyone in the room seems to relax as the scent permeates the small suite, and Deku even stops whimpering in pain. “Good thing we don't need your balls right now, huh?” the blond man teases his mate, squeezing the hand on his thigh at Deku's protests before turning his attention to the boy. “I like you, kid. Name's Bakugou Katsuki. What's yours?”

The small boy glares at him suspiciously, shooting his eyes towards the man still huddled on the floor, then meets Katsuki's gaze.

“Izumi Kota,” he says stuntedly, crossing his arms defiantly. “Why aren't you mad that I hit him?” Katsuki snorts, allowing himself to sit back onto his butt, legs crossing in front of him.

“'Cause Deku can take it,” the omega replies with a shrug, “God knows I've done way worse to him back when I was your age.” The boy seems to perk up at that, coming out of his tense posture ever-so-slightly.

“Whataya mean?”

“Do you know what my quirk is?” Katsuki asks, earning a head nod from the boy. He raises his hand anyway, allowing some sparks to pop out. The boy's eyes track them intently, equal parts curious and wary. “You can touch them, if you want. I'll make sure it's not too hot.” The boy meets his eye, checking to see if he's telling the truth, then tentatively reaches forward. His tiny fingers brush Katsuki's palm as he traces over it, feeling for any openings that could be producing the tiny explosions. Smirking, Katsuki pops out a larger spark, making the boy jerk back with a yelp. He checks his hand for wounds, seeing it safe from harm, and looks back at the omega man with wide eyes. “See? Pretty cool, huh?” Kota nods, his eyes shooting between Katsuki and Deku, whom had finally pushed himself up from the ground. “Only when I was your age, I didn't know how to control it. And me and Deku...well, we fought a lot. He was a late bloomer with his quirk, and I was the opposite. I was a mean little shit.”

“Kacchan,” Deku protests softly, threading his fingers with the omegas and squeezing. Katsuki spares him a glance, quirking his lips into a crooked smile before giving his attention back to the boy.

“I can't get mad at someone for not knowing their own strength, or for not knowing how to communicate their feelings. I'd be a fucking hypocrite. But I feel like you...” Katsuki pauses, weighing his words, knowing the boy is listening intently, judging him. “I feel like you're a better person than I am. Life's thrown some bullshit at you, and you're doing the best you can. That's why I like you. You're a strong little fucker.”

“Bakugou-san, I must insist you stop swearing in front of the boy! He's only five, for goodness sake!”

“I'm sorry, ma'am. Kacchan just has a hard time filtering himself,” Deku apologizes, noticing the way the boy appears to have softened up as Katsuki has been talking. In fact, Kota is now leaning towards the omega man, eyes bright with emotion.

“Do the sparks again, Ground Zero,” the boy demands. Katsuki grins at him, lifting his hand in response and popping his palm like a sparkler. Deku watches the two, his eyes tearing up as happiness fills him. He pushes himself to his feet, dropping a kiss on Katsuki's hair as he passes, and walks up to Matsumori-san with a smile.

“Can we come again on Friday to see him?” the alpha asks softly, so as to not disturb the two by the bed. The small woman returns his smile, nodding faintly in disbelief.

“You can come by whenever you want,” the woman tells him, relief palpable in her voice. The two of them watch as Katsuki continues talking to the small boy, showing off with his quirk and telling him embarrassing stories about his mate in a hushed tone. Matsumori-san checks her watch, then sighs. “Alright, Kota, it's nearly dinner time. Say goodbye to Bakugou-san and Midoriya-san, then go get washed up.”

The boy glares at her, his tiny hand clenched around Katsuki's index finger. Deku's eyes begin to water again at the sight, making Katsuki roll his eyes. Stupid emotional Deku.

“Why can't Ground Zero stay for dinner?” the boy asks petulantly. Katsuki snorts, reaching out to ruffle the boy's hair. Both Deku and the orphanage worker stare in shock as the boy allows it.

“We'll come again soon, turd,” Katsuki tells him, getting to his feet and walking over to Deku, lacing their hands together, earning himself one of those ultra-soft smiles from the alpha. “Be good for Nanny McPhee.” Kota laughs in shock as Matsumori-san splutters indignantly. “Let's go, Deku. I'm hungry. I want udon.”

The omega drags his alpha out by the hand, ignoring the stuttered apologies the man is sending over their shoulders. Once they're out of the building, Deku breaks out into peals of laughter.

“Oh my god, Katsuki, they're never gonna let us back!” he chokes out, tears streaming down his face from laughing so hard. Katsuki smirks, tugging him by the hand to keep walking.

“Well, they'd better. I like that kid a lot.”

“You just like that you could gang up on me!” Deku accuses, still giggling as he leans into Katsuki's side. “He was so sweet with you, though. I'm so jealous!” Katsuki kisses his teeth, shoulder checking the alpha.

“I just know how to talk to little shitheads like that,” he muses, “It's like talking to a mirror.”

“That's for sure,” Deku agrees, making Katsuki stop in his tracks to glare at him.

“Hey, fuck you, Deku! You aren't supposed to agree!” he complains, pouting. The alpha chuckles, pressing a kiss to his pouted lips that Katsuki eagerly returns. They resume walking in silence for a few minutes, almost reaching the train station before the blond man decides to speak again. “So, we're definitely gonna pick him, right?”

Deku looks at him, his face unreadable.

“Is that what Kacchan wants?” he asks, voice void of emotion, letting the blond make his own decision without his influence. Katsuki chews his lip for a moment, then nods.

“Yeah, I really do,” the omega man admits. “Like...obviously, let's let him get to know us first, but...fuck, yeah, 'Zuku, I really like him. I'm just nervous as shit.”

“How come?” Deku probes. Katsuki has gotten a lot better about talking about his feelings over the past year and a half, but still needs a bit of cajoling at times. The blond averts his eyes from his mate, looking off into the distance, clearly seeing something that isn't there.

“'Cause what if he turns out just like me, and I can't help him not be?” Katsuki's voice is soft, open. Deku stops him again, pulling him to the side of the curb, then cupping his face to bring him back to the present.

“The fact that you're so worried about that means that there's no way it'll happen,” the alpha tells him, “You're not that person anymore. You've grown, and learned, and you would never let our child make the same mistakes that we did. And besides,” Deku shoots him a cocky smile, one that makes Katsuki's knees weak, “You're not alone. You've got me here, and our parents, and our friends. You have so many people to help and support you, so if you ever feel like you're drowning, we're all here to help you. So you just need to worry about your decision.”

Katsuki covers Deku's hands with his own, tilting his head to kiss the alpha's palm, feeling the tension slowly draining his body.

“You're right,” he tells the alpha, stepping back out of his hold and shaking his body to loosen it. “Of course you're always fucking right, perfect, shitty Deku.” The curly-haired man simply rolls his eyes, used to the blond's way of speaking. Katsuki claps his hands, turning back to his mate, excitement clear in his red eyes. “Okay, Izuku. Let's put in the application. I can't wait to see everyone's faces when we tell them I'm knocked up.”

Deku snorts, grabbing the omega by the back of the head and pressing a kiss to his forehead.

“I love you, Katsuki,” he says, feeling as if he's going to cry again. Katsuki tilts his head up, kissing him properly.

“I love you too, Izuku,” comes the reply, “But first, udon. It's hungry work, being an expecting mother.”

“Stupid,” Deku comments fondly, “You're so cute.” Katsuki flips him off as he walks into the subway station.

“Of course, shitty Deku. You're lucky you locked down such a cute piece of ass like me. Save it, though. I'm fucking starving, and you now are buying my udon for making me wait.” Deku chuckles, shaking his head before following his mate into the station.

“Yes, Kacchan.”
