_____________________________________

Though he looked calm on the outside Katsuki Bakugou was having a hard time from shutting his brain. He even started to blame Izuku, for how often he's been around the rambling young man. Incessive thoughts clouding his judgment of possibilities of how badly today could go. Today was the day his girlfriend would finally meet his family and fuck was he a nervous wreck. He wanted everything to work out. He kind of explained to Mitsuki and Masaru the relationship Y/N had with Izuku and Shoto as well. They did express their concerns, and what that meant for their son's future. However, this meeting was meant to help with those doubts. He didn't tell Y/N, because he didn't need to, he was going to let her do her magic and bond with them so those concerns and doubts would vanish.

Ever the enigma, she always was able to befriend everyone even her enemies.

However, that is if everything went well.

Surprisingly his mother seemed sort of okay with it. Probably because she wasn't that old fashioned. However, his father was another story. Masaru was the calmer parent, still, he did grow up in an old-fashioned home. Katsuki's grandparents were very, very traditional. Of course, Katsuki didn't give a damn of what they thought, but he didn't want to make it hard for Y/N than it already was with the rest of her boyfriends' families. He wanted his family to be the one Y/N could lean on. Call them whenever she needed a parent's advice when she couldn't from her own family.

He just really wanted today to go smoothly.

And right now, his girlfriend was nowhere to be found.

She had told him, she had something quick to pick up at the grocery store and that she would meet him at the address he texted her. Of course, she was accompanied by Hitoshi. If no one was with her, there was no way in hell he was going to let her just venture off on her own. Especially since her childhood crush was alive and somewhere out there without her knowledge.

Katsuki was already outside the gates of his childhood home. And he was slightly panicking because that text was sent three hours ago.

Nervously waiting for his girlfriend as he paced back and forth. He could hear laughter from inside the house, and he ignored it as he dialed his very late girlfriend. Slightly hyperventilating that something might have happened to her. Y/N was too far from his location to feel anything should she be in trouble through their connection.

Deciding to call her instead, he begrudgingly waited for the line to be picked up. He didn't want to be the obsessive boyfriend, but Y/N always did find herself in sticky situations.

That little shit, always running into trouble. He thought.

Nibbling on his bottom lip, the phone only wrung once before it was picked up right away. He smiled in relief when hearing her melodic voice and thought it was cute how fast she picked up for him.

"Kitten?" he heard her almost out of breath. His worry relaxing a little when she sounded okay. "Are you there already?"

Blushing madly from the nickname. Katsuki hid his face in case his parents saw him waiting outside their house. "Darlin..." he chastised her with a bite to his tone, "I told you not to call me that name so openly...."

Giggling softly, Y/N teased him a little. "But when I first called you that, you seemed to like it. And don't lie to me, I felt it. You can't hide your true feelings from me...." Katsuki heard a loud clacking noise on the other side of the line. What the heck was she doing? Trying to cover up the noise, Y/N rushed out, "Your friends call you Kat, and you're just like a small, cute cat when you wake up in the mornings, before you know... scratch the hell out of people with your personality and demeanor. Which I love by the way, please don't ever change..." Katsuki growled displeased which made her laugh. "I'm not saying it's a bad thing! And I'm not going to stop calling you that because you are just like a kitten, my kitten."

Fighting the corners of his mouth from tilting up, Katsuki attempted not to smile while rolling his eyes which Y/N could practically see. He actually did quite like the nickname she gave him. It was definitely different from the nasty names people called him. Hearing the love of his life, call him something so precious and loving, well it was a first and it gave him butterflies and made his heart skip a beat each time he heard it.

Shaking his head amused, he pushed down his erratic heartbeat. What was she doing to him? Rendering him speechless each time by just being her and accepting him fully.

She really was something special.

Grunting softly Katsuki kept his voice low so his parents wouldn't hear him. Mitsuki would surely yell at him the minute she saw him. "Are you close by?"

"U-umm..." Y/N stuttered nervously. It sounded like she was talking to someone else, covering her phone so he wouldn't hear. He could still hear muffled voices on the other end, even if she attempted to cover it up. "Why don't you go inside... I just had to..." Katsuki furrowed his eyebrows when he heard whispering on the other side, "Drop things off at my dad's. Yeah, that's right... I did!?" it sounded like she was asking herself rather than telling him. "I'm almost there, Katsuki." She sighed out, sounding like she was scolding herself.

She sounded like she was lying. It was so obvious.

"Y/N, are you lying to me?"

"What! Of course not! I promise I'll be there in just a few. I don't want you to wait outside, it's a little chilly, so please, please go in?" Y/N rushed out. A little too quickly for it to not sound like a lie.

Katsuki's vermillion eyes narrowed slightly, "Uh huh... Well alright, I'll see you here then."

"Of course, bye kitten!"

She hung up before he could say anything back.

A little disappointed that he would have to walk in alone to wait for her. Katsuki prepared himself to make an excuse on why his girlfriend was running a little late. Unbuttoning his red collar shirt to air himself out - he was sweating more than usual from the nerves. He could even smell the familiar caramel scent wave off him. Cracking his neck to the sides, and feeling a little tension leave him. He silently prayed to the heavens that today would go in their favor.

He wanted today to be special, so he dressed up more than usual. He was sure the 'old hag' would comment on this because he never did this for anyone. The sleeves of his red shirt were rolled up his forearm. The shirt, definitely making his vermilion eyes pop more than usual. Wanting to keep it casual but elegant, he wore black slacks and black shoes along with the ensemble.

And intense fire ready in him incase anything went in the wrong direction.

Walking into his parents' home, he smiled when he could smell the spices coming from the kitchen. Even if he never voiced it to his mom, he really loved the home cooked meals. He quite missed it more than ever since living in the dorms. But he would visit them often to make up for lost time. The older he got, the more he appreciated them. Especially after meeting his girlfriend and realizing, how lucky he was to have both parents.

His father was coming down the stairs with a huge grin that had Katsuki question why he was so cheery all of a sudden. Masaru Bakugou was usually always calm and happy. He however, looked like he'd won the jackpot with how big he was smiling - the smile reaching his eyes.

"Oh, you're finally here. What took you so long son?" Masaru pulled Katsuki into a big embrace. Patting his back before letting go. He even ruffled his hair a little which made Katsuki scowl like a young child all over again at his father. Before walking into the kitchen Masaru whispered, "She's lovely by the way."

Huh? Katsuki thought. Was his old man losing a screw already?

Taking off his shoes, and slowly walking towards the kitchen confused. Katsuki's breath hitched when he saw Y/N in all her glory laughing with his mom. Gushing about something the younger girl must have told her. Both laughing like old friends to keep the secret to themselves. He did a double take, not believing she was right in front of him.

That little shit... he thought. She definitely surprised him.

"Darlin..." Katsuki breathed out with wide eyes. This time he couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from tilting up when Y/N turned and ran to him in excitement without a second thought.

The loving nickname of course didn't go unnoticed by both his parents who were taken back by the soft tone and look Katsuki got when he laid eyes on Y/N. They knew Katsuki was absolutely smitten, when he spoke of Y/N. However, with them he only gave bits and pieces, not really going into detail of their relationship.

Seeing it bloom in front of them, they could tell it was something special and different from the previous relationship Katsuki had. And it warmed their hearts to see the side of Katsuki they haven't been able to get out of him since he was a child, finally come back.

Hugging him close and grinning up at him, Y/N beamed, "Oh my gosh you really were right outside, weren't you?"

Katsuki glanced at his mom for a second then looked back at his girlfriend who looked impossibly radiant in his eyes.

"You lied to me?" He asked in a soft tone, not upset at her, but accusing her of it. Since it was her, who was big on never lying to each other. Even if it was the smallest of lies.

Y/N looking down ashamed bit her bottom lip nervously. "I'm really sorry, I didn't want to... but..."

"KATSUKI BAKUGOU!" Katsuki and Y/N flinched from how loud Mitsuki yelled at him, here we go... "YOU BETTER NOT BE GETTING MAD AT THIS WONDERFUL YOUNG LADY. I TOLD HER TO SURPRISE YOU, AND THIS IS HOW YOU REACT?!"

"HAH?! YOU HAG!" Katsuki growled and held Y/N closer to his body, almost protecting her from his mother's wrath, tilting his body to put him in the front. "WHY WOULD YOU MAKE HER LIE ABOUT IT!"

"YOU BETTER WATCH YOUR TONE WITH ME YOUNG MAN!" Mitsuki yelled, ready to smack some sense into her own son.

She was about to march over to him when Y/N quickly got out of Katsuki's arms, bringing him behind her and put her hands up in prayer to stop her. "I'm so sorry Mrs. Bakugou! We usually don't like to keep secrets or lie to each other, even if little ones. I sort of made him promise to never lie to me. The rule applies to me too..."

Seeing the pleading gesture and how Y/N protected Katsuki from the upcoming wrath that was Mitsuki Bakugou. Mitsuki held a palm on her heart for how sweet Y/N was to her son. "Oh, sweetie you're such an angel. You deserve so much better than my devil spawn of a son." She cooed at the girl, wanting to embrace her again. She's been doing that for the past hours that they acquainted themselves. "And I already told you to call me Mitsuki, we're way past formalities Y/N. You're already family."

"Oi!" Katsuki growled at his mom. Why in the heck did he think this would be a good idea in the first place? Looking down at his girlfriend who seemed so apologetic, he raised an eyebrow. "How long have you been here for?" he asked accusingly and with a chuckle for how nervous she looked.

Twiddling with her finger's Y/N mumbled, "Probably since I texted you while at was at the store with Toshi..."

Baffled and amused Katsuki chuckled, "That was three hours ago."

Y/N tilted her head, not realizing that much time had passed, airily laughed while scratching the back of her head. "Really?! Wow, I didn't know that much time passed. Your parents are really awesome. Time does really fly when you're having fun huh?"

While Katsuki and Y/N talked, they failed to notice, how Mitsuki and Masaru watched them from afar. Seeing how his son was so smitten and clearly how in love they both were with each other.

"Sorry..." Y/N apologized again and played with his fingers, when Katsuki only raised one eyebrow in question for her to elaborate. "I just wanted to bring something to dinner, because it's a special moment. I didn't want to show up empty handed."

When they're eyes connected and they burned vibrant scarlet. Katsuki's parents where in awe, when they saw how Katsuki gravitated towards Y/N so naturally. Seeing how he kissed her forehead so tenderly and pushed her hair out of her face.

Both clearly in their own world.

"Anyways, I bumped into them, and I thought..." Y/N smiled at Katsuki, who in turned grinned at her. "What are the chances of this exact replica beautiful of woman, being the mother of my king explosion murder boyfriend. I swear it was all coincidence. I offered to help with dinner, and I've been here ever since."

"You little shit..." Katsuki whispered in endearment. "You always manage to one up all of us, all the time don't you..." Katsuki getting lost her eyes, kissed her cheek gently and whispered, "You look beautiful by the way. I almost think you matched with me on purpose."

Y/N was wearing a short-sleeved red blouse with a long black skirt that went down to her knees. The rest of her legs covered by long black boots.

"And you my kitten, look absolutely radiant like burning fire, as always of course." Y/N whispered and bit her bottom lip in anticipation.

Katsuki blushing and absolutely in love was about to kiss her, forgetting where they were at, until they heard his mother and father coo from behind them.

"Masaru, our boy's so sweet. I always feared for the person he would end up with." Mitsuki whispered with tears in her eyes.

Katsuki embarrassed hid his face in the crook of Y/N's neck and whispered. "Fuck..." cursing at himself for not being more careful. He was sure his mother and father, well mostly his mother would make fun of him now.

"Well, aren't you sweet, kitten..." Mitsuki made fun of Katsuki who in turned growled and yelled out in frustration making the older woman cackle in response.

"Now, now you two. We have company. We don't want to scare Y/N off with the way you two interact." Masaru tried to calm both his wife and son before in turned into an all-out war. "Come here Y/N, we can finish cooking while these two destroy each other." Masaru chuckled from the threatening glance he got from his wife and son from taking Y/N away from them both.

Y/N kissing Katsuki's cheek glided over to Masaru with ease. Already conversating with the older man and laughing at something he replied with. Katsuki loved how easily she fit into his family. They treated her with so much care and open arms. He wondered what happened within those three hours they were together.

"You know he always wanted a daughter after we had you. She reminds me a lot of him..." Mitsuki ruffled her sons' hair a little while she spoke. "All the doubts he had after what you told us disappeared when we got to talk to her at the store and here without you interfering." Mitsuki spoke calmly to his son. Who still looked in adoration to Y/N who was talking excitedly with his father. Her hands animatedly working on adding more ingredients as Masaru instructed her what to add. Y/N was a great cook, but she was still knowing her way around Japanese dishes.

"She does that, calls it her stupid MC power or whatever." Katsuki laughed softly, "How did that go by the way?"

"Well...."

Y/N and Hitoshi were walking down the grocery stores aisle, laughing, and goofing around. Earning a couple of glares from the other people at the store from how loud they were being.

"Stop it Toshi! You're not being fair..." Y/N playfully pushed him away.

"Come on sis, you're soooo easy to mess with. It's not my fault." Hitoshi laughed again when Y/N attempted to kick him.

"I fucking hate you..." she grumbled displeased.

"Sure, you do..." Walking down the aisles as he helped her carry things, Hitoshi whispered. "So, you gonna tell me what's going on with you and Rosie?"

Y/N rolling her eyes scoffed. "Come on I've told you already. We're ignoring each other until the weekend when we have the 'family talk', as dad called it."

"Yeah, but there's tension and us Aizawa's are supposed to talk to each other... whatever happened we can work through it."

"Its not that simple..." Y/N sighed heavily. "Besides, it's better if I get some distance. I don't want to lash out and say something I will regret later. We both need a little time to just... chill."

After Y/N's date with Izuku, she figured it would be best to let the week pass and talk with her sister at home during the weekend. She of course, asked Shoto, Katsuki and Izuku to join her for that awaited family dinner and to finally clear the air and the tension. It had been hard in Spanish class, when Y/N was obviously ignoring Rosalinda, who in turn decided not to push until Y/N was ready.

Of course, Y/N held no remorse, but she did feel betrayed.

How else was she supposed to deal with the pain and scars that were left behind from that night? Especially, when her existing was a part of why it happened in the first place. It didn't make sense for her to think that way, because she didn't choose to be born.

Still, she was always harder on herself than anyone else.

When Shoto and Katsuki learned the truth, they were more than supportive and finally at ease for knowing why she was able to feel people's emotions and how this affected each other. Happy this didn't mean anything bad, only that they needed to do more training on the empath part of her quirk. And they were already working on it. As long as Y/N didn't question their relationship again, because of this new revelation, they weren't going to dwell on it either. And surprisingly she didn't. Y/N knew, her feelings were real and so were theirs. She wasn't going to do a pity party when she felt like she had the world.

She, however, did need some time to think away from the person she trusted the most in her life.

"Well, whatever it is, I'm here for you." Hitoshi squeezed her hand in his.

"Thanks, you're the best big brother ever." Y/N smiled sweetly at him.

"Yeah, yeah. Hurry up so we can go home then. I actually have a date tonight too..." He mumbled shyly.

"Shut the fuck up! You finally asked him?" Y/N smacked his arm eagerly, which Hitoshi scowled at her for, rubbing where she hit him. "Oh, shush it you big baby. It wasn't even that hard."

"Yeah, for you! You've trained with the biggest dudes in school. Of course, you would hit hard even without meaning to." Hitoshi lazy held Y/N back from her face when she attempted to grab him. Making a deep chuckle come out from the pits of his stomach the more she attempted to grab him.

"Stop deflecting and spill!" Y/N puffed out her cheeks in annoyance from how easily Hitoshi could keep her away.

He was really tall, and his arms seemed so long. It's as though he enjoyed making fun of her by just using his arms to keep her at bay. He always did hold her by the face and laughed whenever she tried to hit him.

"Ugh, fine..." Finally letting go of his sister, Hitoshi looked down, with pink dusting his cheeks. "I asked if he wanted to get coffee at this cat café or whatever and he agreed. Nothing to gush about."
