"I can help with–"

"Uh, yeah, can you finish that for me?" Izuku blew the hair out of his face, readjusting mieko in his grasp, not wasting another second listening to Katsuki. Katsuki pursed his lips and glanced warily at the half-finished milk bottle, as if unsure of what to do with it.

Izuku glanced at him for a second, his eyes simply passing by, but seeming to notice Katsuki's confusion, he let out a quick sigh as he once again readjusted Mieko in his grip and walked a step towards him.

"I can make that myself." Izuku quickly announced, Mieko stopping him as she poked him in the eye, making the omega hiss.

"No, just tell me what to–goddammit Izuku, put the kid down, for fucks sake!" Katsuki snapped, shoulders slumping and looking at his mate in disbelief. He looked so disheveled, and for absolutely no reason other than not wanting to let Mieko go—so much for falling just once in her life.

Katsuki couldn't imagine Izuku letting the girl go to kindergarten in a couple years.

"Okay, fine, just...you can give her to me! Or you can just tell me what to do and I'll do it!" Katsuki stated, petting Mieko's hair as the little girl whined in her mother's arms. So much for thinking she was quiet—the little girl was, indeed, a loud one. Katsuki hated thinking about it, but she seemed to have taken on Katsuki's temper.

"Uh...I think you need to put two more spoons of the formula and that's it." Izuku seemed to hesitate between hsi choices, but he ended up telling Katsuki how to make the milk instead. Katsuki sighed, doing his best to hide his disappointment, before turning towards the milk and starting to scoop out the powder from the can. "Actually!"

Right before Katsuki could pour the powder into the water, Izuku shifted Mieko in his grasp again and walked to Katsuki's side. Slowly taking her into his hands, he gripped her by her armpits before reaching her towards Katsuki, who quickly dropped the spoon in the can and grabbed Mieko (gently but eagerly).

"I'll do it. Hold onto Mieko for me." izuku said quietly, glancing at Mieko as he scooped the powder out once again.

Katsuki eyed him in surprise for a few seconds before looking at Mieko, who seemed to be just as stumped, completely going quiet as she blinked at her father.

Katsuki rarely got to hold her. He wasn't sure whether the reason for that was Izuku's fear of her falling down again, or the slight amount of distrust Izuku had with Katsuki after missing out on so much of her still short life, but he'd been avoiding giving Mieko to katsuki as much as he could for the past month. She was two months old now, incapable of sitting or even crawling by herself but already eager to explore the world around her.

That is, whilst keeping Izuku in a constant near heart attack state in the process.

Katsuki sat down on the floor, placing Mieko onto the baby carpet next to him on her stomach. The little girl was shakily and wobbly trying to lift her head, and Katsuki watched her do that for a few seconds before placing her on her back, deciding not to pressure her for too long.

He lay down next to her on his side, grunting as he tried to adjust to the hard-feeling floor under him, laying his head down on his stretched out arm. Mieko reached for the ceiling, her little arms stretching while her fingers remained in fists, as if ready to punch someone if she needed to. Katsuki found it adorable, although he still decided to reach for her hands, tugging at her fingers until she suddenly straightened them before shoving his finger into her palm, her fingers quickly enclosing around his.

She gripped at his finger tightly, and Katsuki couldn't help staring in awe. Why the hell did Kirishima never warn him about this? He was on the verge of crying here, for fucks sake.
