When I got out of the car kirishima followed me to the gate. We both stood there impatiently in the cold air waiting for someone to buzz us in. When the gate opens we walk to the front door and he knocks first.
*knock*
*knock*
*knock*Akari opens the door giving me a confused look then noticing the red headed man standing behind me. She stammers back dragging me inside the house.
"R..Red riot??" He stands there awkwardly and I roll my eyes at him once more before heading to the living room, watching what happens from the couch.
"Mr Bakugou!! Somebody's dropped Yumi off!" As my dad arrives to the door his pace slows down when he sees Kirishimas flushed face.
"..You can go now Akari." She nods scurrying up the stairs, probably finding something to dust. My dad looks at me with a displeased face before stepping outside and closing the door behind him. I wonder what's going to happen.

Bakugous POV:
I step outside in the spine chilling cold quietly. Glancing at kirishima time to time as we stand there.
"Hey katsuki.." He mutters. I stare at him perplexed. Sh*t. It feels like there's a lump of coal in my throat.
"Thanks but..What are you doing here." He sighs taking a step closer to me, staring at my bewildered face.
"Yumi came to my work place yelling, she..she said that I broke your heart? But on the way here I um. I explained that it happened a long time ago, and we're both over it right?.." He nervously whispers, starting to walk away. If he walks away right now I'll probably never see him again. So I grab his wrist causing him to stiffen.
"Kirishima."
"..yeah?"
"..Why'd you do it?" I can tell by the way his strained smile fades he knows what I'm talking about.
"Do what?-"
"Don't act f*cking dumb." I mentally curse myself for the obvious crack in my voice, and I roll my eyes when I see the pity in his eyes.
I'm not a f*cking victim, dont look at me like that. I hate him. I hate him so much.
"We.. we would've gotten too busy for each-over anyways. " My grip gets tighter. I force the lump down my throat then push out the next words.
"What the f*ck?" My voice is shaky and weak.
"Is that your excuse? I- you destroyed our relationship just because you thought we would've gotten too busy for each other?" I scoff staring at the ground. He stares at me before wrapping his muscular arms around my torso, keeping eye contact the whole time. I shudder at the familiar touch then forcefully push him away.
"Don't touch me."
"I'm sorry katsuki, I just got afraid of what would happen and-" My vision fully blurred from the tears building up.
" -and why did you ignore me after I tried to contact you? On top of that the only reason you did was because my 9 year old daughter f*cking "yelled" at you?! It's just another excuse." I blast his chest causing him to stammer back.
"Katsuki I'm sor-"
"NO. Just go away."
"Katsuki-"
"And stop..stop calling me that name. It's Bakugou. Do you even know how bad you hurt me? You've made it very clear that you don't want me in your life so I don't know why you kee-"
"I f*cking love you." He interrupts. He lifts his hands to hold my face and I struggle to not lean into the touch.
"W-What?"
"I'm sorry okay, I..I messed up. It's my fault your angry at me an..and you have a right to be. I thought that I was protecting you from the press a-and media but it was just a stupid thing to do to the person I love." He exclaims with glossy eyes. I don't say anything and just let myself sink into his shoulder holding back the stupid sob begging to escape from my throat.
What the f*ck am I doing.
I shiver as he whispers heartfelt apologies into my ears as I grasp onto the hem of his buttoned shirt, letting a few- just a few tears melt into his shoulder. After a while just my sniffs could be heard over the cluttering of pits and pans inside.
"Dad!! Are you still there?" I quietly sigh at the confusion in Yumis voice heading towards the door.
"I have to go." I stare blankly on the floor, biting the bottom of my lip. I can feel the sympathetic look he's giving me even if I can't see it.
"..Yeah." He says quietly, before pulling himself back. I look up, meeting those friendly ruby eyes I used to love. We end up getting closer, the feeling of our own breaths felt between us.
Oh sh*t.
The skin of our lips brush across eachover before I erupted back.
"What's wrong?-"
"I can't- I can't do this right now." Before he gets a chance to react I run back into the house, slamming the door behind me.

The next day was horrible, mostly because of the pounding in the back of my head coming from last night when I cried into my pillow for hours, filling it up with my salty tears. I could barely sleep from the thoughts of him running around in my head like a broken record.
I f*cked up.
It's just like the UA days after he ended it with me. I was lost and hurt, and I just went back to him. I ended up getting 2 hours of sleep especially because of it.
The worse thing is, is that I have a mission today, some stupid villains attacking a museum. I rolled my eyes as I tightened my gear which was connected to my hero suit. Struggling to even stand up straight. When I was finished I stared at myself in the mirror, cringing at the red tint and puffiness under my eyes. My despair quickly turned into anger as he traced my mind again.
He f*cked up.
If I think about it, he came back into my life and destroyed it? What a d*ck. I can't possibly be crying about this, so why won't the tears stop?
All of a sudden there's a faint knock on the door.
"Daddy?" I avoided eye contact with her as she walked in the room. I couldn't let her know that her father's been crying. It was pathetic. I walked across the white marble floors quickly entering my bathroom.
"Daddy are you alright? I-Im sorry for doing that. I know it was silly! And..and I'm sorry." I took a sharp breath in and placed my fingers to my scrunched eyebrows.
"Yumi you need to understand that what you did was not alright. Who did you think you were All might? No. Your my daughter and I'm supposed to take care of you! Do you know how many villains are out at night? Any one of them could easily grab you and- and I wouldn't forgive myself if that happened." I stated, beginning to tremble at the thought of it actually happening. She run up to me and hugged my waist tightly since it was as high she could reach.
"I-I disappointed you didn't I? I'm sorry daddy! Please forgive me I promise I wont do it again!" She yelled, squeezing her eyes shut. I hugged her back with my arms which couldn't seem to say still and kissed her reddish hair.
"I'll forgive you but you have to understand that it wasn't safe for you." Yumi nodded with tears pouring down her reddened cheeks. After we talked for a while I had to go on my mission. Which was going poorly.
I strode through the tall stone doors of the museum scowling at the broken artefacts. Who even were these guys? I mean they couldn't be worse than Kirishima. I sighed at the thought of him again. He wasn't even related to this! Even during work he can find a way to annoy me.
"DYNAMIGHT WATCH OUT!!" Suddenly I felt a massive pound to my cheek, causing me to stagger back and lose my stance. I tumbled hard on the cement ground, feeling a mix of pain and embarrassment by the hit and who the hit was from. A bunch of weak thugs? Dammit.
"Dynamight your bleeding." I reached my hand up to touch my face and frowned at the remaining blood on my fingers when I pulled back.
"Damn."
