Count on me

Beginnings

Kirishima has a routine, he swears he does, his life is just a bit chaotic.

Since his kids' baby mommy went to work abroad that routine've even more fucked up.

It's always been "Wake up, have breakfast, take the kids to school if you have them, go to work, eat, work again, pick up the kids if you have them, if not, go to the gym, go home, have dinner, go to sleep".

But now it all revolves around the kids.

He and Mina had the agreement that Mina would handle all the issues regarding their kids when he was at work, she had a freer work schedule after all, but now she doesn't.

And not only that, but his work schedule has changed.

Just imagine, two 4 year-olds in a hair salon 'cause their dad is a hair dresser while their dad takes phone calls.

It's not ideal per say.

And on top of that, today he's late 'cause he had to finish with a client.

He runs to the school, it's not that far away, but it still takes like 10 minutes from the hair dresser.

He turns the last corner and sees his sons, San and Kouka.

They're playing with their friend Gougou while Gougou father's looked over them. Bakugou Katsuki.

Bakugou seamed mean, and kind of was, but he had a soft spot for kids, specially those three kids. It was a big change of personality from when he acted like a Karen towards the principal of the school to when he talked to little kids, like his kid's friends.

But if Eijirou had to be honest, he didn't like the principal either, he got along way better with the vice principal or with the head of studies than with him.

Eijirou approaches Katsuki and sits on the bench the blonde's sitting on so he can catch his breath.

"Thank you for looking over the twins Bakugou" Kirishima's still a bit out of breath.

"Whatever- It was nothing" Bakugou responded rolling his eyes "You've really broken a record this time, 30 minutes late dumbass"

"I'm so sorry, I had to finish with a client and then I had to came here and I-" 'Shit, I'm mumbling, he hates that' "I'll try to come to pick the kids on time next time, it's just hard ya know"

"Yeah, I get that, that's one of the reasons I'm thankful for working from home, I can spend more time with the brat and I have more flexible schedules" Katsuki speaks more calmly than he usually does to other parents, but then again he doesn't see Kirishima as 'other parents'

"Yeah, I guess it's better, not that I can do that, being a hair dresser and all that stuff. You're way luckier than I am in that field..."

He does a kind of 'tch' sound before changing into a more mean tone of voice "You could have chosen another job, ya know that, right?"

"I'm aware of that, but I always wanted to be a police officer, and when I started having sever asthma attacks, I gave up on my dream and decided to be a hair dresser 'cause I really like to dye hair, and style it and all that stuff, but I really like when a client goes home happy with what they get done. I just want people to be happy, and someone's hair is a big part of if believe it or not"

Kirishima realizes that Bakugou has been paying a lot of attention to him, which is rare from him.

"I guess if you're happy with it..." He sounds calmer, and kinder. Kirishima slightly blushes, he and Bakugou normally don't talk much. Well, Bakugou doesn't want to talk much, Kirishima does "I really should get going, it's getting late and my old hag wants to have dinner with the brat"

Eijirou looks at his kids having fun with their friend. He smiled at them.

"Yeah, I should also get going before the kids start hitting each other with sticks"

Kirishima saw in the corner of his eye how the other parent had the smallest smile on his face before he whistled to catch the kids attention.

"Come on brat! Your nana is waiting for us!" He yelled going back to his mean demeanour.

Gougou run up to his father and took his hand before starting to drag him out the park and towards his nana's house.

"Don't you forget something?" Bakugou asked the kid. He let go of his fathers hand and run up to the twins and gave them a big hug before resuming dragging his father until he was no where to be seen.

"Okay kids, let's go home. Tomorrow your mom's coming over and it's getting late" Kirishima says as he takes both of his kids hands and they start going back home.
