Struggles \ A BakuDeku Baby Story

2 : Swear Jar

"Bababababa!" 

Katsuki looked over to the floor, where his 2-month-old was playing with his toys. 

"Baba's here." He mumbled, looking back at the newspaper. 

"Bababababa!" Kazuo continued, shaking a train toy in the air, before throwing it as far as he could. The baby immediately started laughing, hearing the crash sound the toy had made against the wall. Bakugou found it cute and stood up from his chair to go get the toy again. He handed it back to his son, who gladly took it. However, the baby simply threw it in another direction, this time laughing even more. 

His laugh was so pure and adorable. It made Katsuki smile every time. The blonde male walked over to his child after getting the toy once more. Kazuo seems to enjoy throwing things around. He does it pretty often. With his toys, food, and anything he can reach. Thankfully, Bakugou makes sure not to leave anything dangerous lying around, since his son seems to love grabbing random things.

The blonde set the toy down in front of the child once more, before heading back to his chair. This time, Kazuo didn't even touch the toy. He was too distracted by his own fingers, who seemed like food to him, since he eventually stuck them in his mouth. 

Katsuki scoffed, before looking back at the newspaper. The crime rates have been going down ever since Hero Deku passed away. Weird, but good. For society, that is. Not good for Katsuki. Being a hero is his job. Without a job, he doesn't get any money. That goes for the rest of the heroes out there as well. Bakugou sighed, walking over to his pantry. He pulled out a jar full or cash. 

The Swear Jar.

When Izuku had gotten pregnant, he wanted Katsuki to stop swearing. So, he decided to make a swear jar. Whenever Bakugou would say something bad, Izuku would force him to put money in the jar. 

The blonde opened it, grabbing a few bucks. He swore a lot during the pregnancy. Therefore leaving him with a lot of saved money. He doesn't have much left, giving he's now paying for way more stuff, for Kazuo. He's struggling to even get food for himself. All there is in the fridge is baby food. And a few condiments. Of course, the father didn't mind. All he wanted was for his son to be healthy and happy. That's all. 

"Babababa!" Kazuo cooed, rolling over on the floor. Katsuki gave him a quick glance, before smiling and returning to his newspaper. However, the 2-month-old child was not happy with the small amount of attention he was receiving...

"BABABABA!" He cooed once more, this time, a little louder. Bakugou smiled, and without looking away from the newspaper, he responded: "Baba's right here."

The baby immediately started crying, banging his little arms and legs on the floor. Katsuki rolled his eyes. His son was such a drama queen. The blonde man stepped off the chair once more, placing his reading glasses down on the coffee table, before bending down to his kid. The baby stared at him, more tears threatening to fall. Bakugou smiled. 

"What's wrong, kiddo?" He asked, flicking his finger on the small boy's tummy. The baby giggled at the action, before struggling to sit up again. After all, being lied down on the hard flooring didn't seem too comfortable. He eventually sat up, seemingly proud that he did. Katsuki then took his son into his arms, bringing him to his feeding chair. Kazuo clapped his hands, happy that he was about to get fed again. He watched as his father searched in the refrigerator, taking out a small jar of baby food. Carrot. 

Kazuo babbled happily, since Carrot was his favorite flavor. He simply loved it. 

The boy smiled, seeing the spoon approach his face. Of course, Katsuki loved to tease his son, so he suddenly pulled away the spoon, making the baby unhappy. He then approached it once more, before pulling it away again. The baby whined, now upset. He wanted to eat. 

Bakugou smirked, shushing his whining baby, before finally giving him his food. The baby laughed, swallowing the baby food. His father wiped the corner of hid mouth, before giving him another spoonful. 

After several minutes, the baby boy had already eaten the whole jar, and was now falling asleep. Katsuki smiled. Every time his son has a full tummy, he gets sleepy. But that's not too bad, it gives Bakugou a nap time too.
