Pandora's Gift

Chapter 10

And unlike his red headed friend Bakugou was silent as he walked with her down the path. But she didn't mind the silence as she watched Hatori and Kirishima together. It was such a heartwarming thing to watch Kirishima talking and encouraging the kid. It was a bit of an interesting interaction to watch. A big mountain of a man with sharp shark-like teeth who turned into a literal wall of stone. Everything about the man was scary, and yet he really was a smiling ball of sunshine and the largest human teddy bear a person could ever meet. Though it did raise some questions as she watched just the way he interacted with the young kid. So warm, kind, and almost like a parent. It reminded her of herself when she interacted with the kid.

"I know it's not my place. But seeing Kirishima with Hatori. I have to ask. Why didn't he ever start a family?" She asked softly, glancing over at the blonde who was the man in question's best friends. An odd look crossed the blonde's face and she would have laughed had she not been serious in wanting an answer.

"I don't know. I always thought he and Pinky were going to get together. They dated for a while and suddenly they broke up. We are all still friends but he has never really dated since," wow Bakugou actually answered her question seriously. But the look of almost concern that flashed for a second across the blonde's face gave away that the blonde must have had some concerns over the same question.

"I'm sure he will meet someone eventually who will make him happy and he will have kids galore. Just imagine you being an uncle to a group of rugrats," she said trying to lighten the mood a little as her tone quickly turned teasing as she called him an uncle. And yet she was pretty sure for a split second she watched the corner of her lips tug up a little before pressing back into a firm line.

"Ha of course the dumb ass would have a ton of kids," he said with a huff through his nose as he actually played along with the teasing. For a split second she was actually surprised that the blonde was playing along with the teasing.

"And what about you? With some sparky little mini gremlin following you around?" She asked with a wide grin pulling at her own lips at the thought of some mini blonde little rugrat following Katsuki around. Of course the man glared at her for that teasing.

"You're one to talk. You're the omega, aren't you the one who's going to want all the little gremlins running around?" Apparently Bakugou had no issues turning the teasing around on her. That actually had her snort, she didn't even mean to as she couldn't hold back the laughter. Usually she would kick someone's ass for teasing or even bringing up that she was an omega and she should just make babies. But with it coming from the blonde who clearly was actually lightly teasing her and not being rude she would easily allow it.

Was it the loud laughter or the extremely sweet smell of strawberries that filled the air that was what drew Kirishima's attention to the two behind him. To which he was shocked to see Sakaki laughing her head off and Bakugou actually had the ever so faint ghost of a smile on his lips as he listened to the woman beside him kill herself with laughter. It was an odd and yet warming sight for the redhead. He had worried his blonde grumpy friend would die alone but seeing the two get along so well had him wondering what he could do to push the two together. Mina was going to have a field day helping the red head play Cupid, and she would kill him if he didn't include her in his plan.

For now Kirishima turned his attention to Hatori lifting the boy up onto his shoulders as he continued to hike. This was he could keep the kid occupied and allow them to walk ahead of Sakaki and Bakugou allowing the two to have some slight privacy with Kirishima leading the way ahead and keeping the kid busy. And it seemed neither Sakaki or Bakugou noticed that Kirishima was trying to put a little distance between himself and his best friend.

"Really you think I would have a bunch of crotch gremlins running around? One part time is enough work," she said even though it wasn't completely true. Sure, a part of her didn't mind that she didn't have kids. But a part of her, mostly her omega side. Did wish to have that family and kids. Find a strong alpha who would love and care for her while she raised their child. But she also wasn't stupid. She wasn't your typical weak and mild omega. She never rolled over and submitted to anyone any more. And that made her unattractive to many alpha's. Everyone wanted the cute little submissive omega. Her being full of lean muscles, bull headed and stubborn often wasn't attractive qualities to have. It had been bad enough when she was in UA and wasn't even a pro hero and had not grown any better as she aged and actually began working as a pro hero. And as such the woman even avoided dating for all she was worth. She would be married to her job and she was fine with that decision. Well most days she was fine with it. But she'd be lying if having Hatori around didn't sometimes unbalance the control over her omega side.
