"you're.. really home."

Another explosion goes off towards the two villains, lighting up the sky like fireworks. One of the villains' blue hair was singed as she pulls the other towards the source of the explosions. A muscular, blond figure rushes towards them, the look of anger and excitement covering his red eyes. He extends a hand as another duo haired figure swerves in front of him.

"DIE, YOU VILLAINOUS LOSERS!" He yells, pulling a pin on his arm gauntlets. A powerful explosion blasts towards the two, the other, pink haired villain standing in front, shielding them with her now long, silver steel hair. She laughs, feeling like they were going to win, before she was incased in a cage of ice. Her hair returns to short and pink as she struggles and yells for her partner in crime.

"Sister! You need to-" Her red eyes widened as the other gets held down by the angry blond. She admits a low growl, her hair creating silver spikes and darting towards him before it got tangled in the cold hands of the other hero. He gave it a tug and it shot back at her, returning to normal as he burned the ends of her hair as well. The two ice blocks were held by the police, thanking the heros for finally capturing them as they drove away.

The blond, now calmer, rolled his shoulders back and popped his knuckles, sighing.

"Stupid villains. Making me fight on my damn birthday." He growled and signed to the other. "Oi, Shouto. I'm done for the day." The duo haired hero, Shouto, lit a small fire in his left hand, heating up his slightly frozen face.

"Sounds like a good idea. Should we head back home, Bakugou?" He signed back. Shouto rested his arms around the other's shoulders, earning an elbow jab to the side, but not budging, instead letting a small smile form. Bakugou growled quietly but nodded without a word.

"Need to stop by the agency. I wanna get my stuff." The two started their walk back to their agency, talking about how they should relax later and walking close together.

Back at their home though, was another surprise waiting for them. However, this one was much more pleasant. A timer went off on an oven as someone lifted the cupcake tray out of it and set it on the stove. They fanned the tray with Shouto's engraved oven mitts, smelling the chocolate in the air, and floating over the rainbow variety of icing pipings. The ends of their (h/c) hair were colored white, red, and orange from the icing they had handmade.

Another tune plays from their phone while they carefully slide the cupcakes onto the table to let them cool off. They turn to the balloons, tying one back to the leg of the main room table.

"Nice job, Bakugou. Katsuki's gonna be so surprised." They smile, stepping back and taking in their work.

Shouto and Bakugou, now out of the agency, intertwining their hands as they walk home, one's red eyes staring off into the distance for moments.

"Katsuki? Are you alright?" Shouto lightly squeezed their hands together, bringing him back to their previous conversation topic.

"Oh, yeah.. I was just thinking." He replied, immediately starting a new topic. "You remember _____, right?" Shouto nodded. "He texted me a few months ago. Said he was sending a present for me or something."

"That sounds nice of him. Are you excited about it?"

"I guess.. I haven't heard from the loser since he enrolled in college. First year of UA, I think." They two of them reached their house, the duo haired man reaching for his keys. "Kinda thought he forgot I existed."

That made Shouto stop his motions and turn around, unconsciously giving the said older Bakugou more time to set up the balloons inside.

"You're pro-hero Dynamight and Katsuki Bakugou." He states, brows furrowed. "I've known you since high school. You're not forgettable, especially with those anger issues." He laughs, getting a punch in the shoulder blade for messing up his signs while he laughed. Bakugou used the easiest (and his favorite) sign and shoved it in his lover's face as he opened their white front door.

A balloon hits Katsuki's foot to his surprise as the door creaked. A head of (h/c) hair and (e/c) eyes popped up from underneath the table, hands out like a human star. Bits of icing covered their lips and (s/c) cheeks as they smiled.

"Surprise, little bro!" They sign as the ash-blond points a hand at them out of habit. He slowly lowers it as his older brother coming over to give him a hug, Shouto standing to the side and watching his suprised face as he continues to sign. "Look at you, Katsu, I've missed you! You're so tall now.. AND the #2 pro-hero? I'm so proud of you!"

Katsuki stares up at him, somehow not believing what was happening. He looked around the house, orange and black balloons tied to tables and a small stack of cupcakes on the table. Six neatly wrapped presents sat on the soft couch, "K.B" written on the side of each but two that read "S.T". He turns to his lover and his brother, smiling at him, anticipating his reaction. He holds his hands up, shaking slightly.

He signs, out of nervous habit, but quickly goes vocal as he realizes _____ probably didn't learn what happened. Besides, he had his hearing aids in.

"You're... you're really home." His red eyes closed as he hugs his brother tightly, almost taking them both down to the ground. The flash of Katsuki's ring catches their eye.

"I'm so sorry I couldn't visit earlier. God it's been..."

"Five years. A really fucking long, man. Don't take so long next time." The older laughs, letting go of him.

They smile before _____ turns to Shouto, a confused look briefly flashing in the Bakugou's eyes. The two extend hands to shake when the (h/c) noticed a ring that almost perfectly matched their little brother's. Katsuki drags over, wrapping an arm around his love's waist.

"Yeah, you met Icey-hot that one time." The older nodded, confused. "Who knew that this annoying ass would propose?"

"Is that anyway to talk about your husband?" Shouto smiled. The two could physically see the gears turning in their head before it clicked and they smiled, brightly. Honestly, it was hard for Shouto to believe they were related.

"Shouto? Oh my god, you proposed to him?!" Piercing red eyes met their calming (e/c) ones. "Relax. I'm just joking, little bro. C'mon! Let's catch up and...!"

_____ hopped into the kitchen, leaving a confused gay couple behind him for a moment, before coming out with a floating mini chocolate cake, the size of a personal pizza. Yellow '24' candles over 'Happy Birthday, Katsu!' in orange icing, obviously handwritten.

"..get this party started!"

The afternoon followed with video games and mostly catching up. News of the wedding, how Katsuki ruined his hearing in his 3rd year of UA, and what _____ had been doing in (country) for collage had flooded the room. Some other friends came by eventually, like Kirishima and Midoriya then Jirou and Momo, and had a full night of meeting the "legendary older Bakugou", the nickname they remembered from high school. It even extended into a pool party a few hours into the evening.

"AY KATSU! GET IN HERE!" They laughed, shaking their hair off. "I'm gonna beat you at pool volleyball!"

Now, that cought his attention. He took a running start towards the pool, doing a cannonball, and getting Kirishima's on his team immediately. Kiri, Momo, and Katsuki vs _____, Jirou, and Midoriya; While Shouto kept score on the side, dry and happy. Katsuki gripped the volleyball in hand.

"YOU WISH YOU'D WIN!" And the moment Kirishima started moving was the beginning of a very long volleyball game. He yelled "Best birthday ever!" as he eventually set another winning spike to the water.

- happy birthday, katsuki bakugou, you wild wild weirdo
