You let out a contented sigh as you stepped into your familiar home, the weekend away from the UA dormitory having been a much-needed break. The comforting scent of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, courtesy of your parents, who always went the extra mile to make their child feel at home.

Your mom greeted you and you stared in shock at her belly, you knew your mom was pregnant but it wasn't showing as much last week, only one month to go before you weren't an only child anymore. You kicked off your shoes and made your way to the living room, sinking into the plush sofa with a grateful smile.

Nestled under a cosy blanket, you opened your laptop to catch up on some much-needed relaxation time. As you began scrolling through tiktok, you couldn't help but feel a pang of nostalgia for the bustling dorm life you had temporarily left behind.

Just as you were about to dive into a captivating fanfiction, a loud knock on the front door startled you out of your reverie. Curiosity piqued, you set aside their laptop and made your way to the entrance, a mixture of excitement and confusion running through your veins. Opening the door, you were met with a sight that completely caught you off guard.

"Miss me already, kats?" You asked the boy in front of you. He came along with his parents.

Katsuki's trademark scowl softened slightly as he crossed his arms, shifting uncomfortably. "Hey, smartass. Don't get all sentimental on me. My parents dragged me along because they wanted to visit your family. Apparently, they missed your parents' cooking."

You couldn't help but chuckle at Katsuki's admission. "Well, you're always welcome here, Bakugou. Come on in!"

Katsuki's parents exchanged warm greetings with your parents, and soon, the house was filled with laughter and the aroma of homemade delicacies. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the conversation flowed effortlessly as everyone caught up on the latest news and shared stories of their respective adventures.

"Katsuki, everyone's meeting up at the park tomorrow. You wanna tag along?" You asked the blonde and he just shrugged.

The next day, Mina texted the Bakusquad, arranging a meetup at the local park. The sun was shining brightly, casting a warm glow over the green expanse of the park, adding to the cheerful atmosphere.

Katsuki turned his head towards you, his expression softening ever so slightly. He strode over, a mix of excitement and annoyance evident in his crimson eyes. "Took you long enough, dumbass."

You rolled your eyes playfully. "Hey, don't blame me. You're the one who arrived early for once."

As the you two bantered, the rest of the Bakusquad appeared on the scene, Denki, Mina, Eijiro, and Sero joined the group, their laughter and energy infectious. "MA FAVOURITE SHIP!" Mina said, jumping on the two of you and hugging you two tightly.

"AHH, GET OFF ME!" Bakugou sneered, and you laughed at his reaction.

"I THOUGHT WE WERE YOUR FAVOURITE SHIP!" Kirishima whined, pointing at him then at mina his vibrant red hair catching the sunlight.

"OTHER THAN US EIJI!" She said, pinching his cheeks.

kaminari slung his hand over your shoulder. "Hey, Mama! Ready to show off our skills on the basketball court?"

Katsuki scoffed, crossing his arms. "I'm gonna actually obliterate you." He added kanimari laughted while sero tensed up,

"I don't think he's joking.." sero mumbled as they both turned to the angry guy who shot them a glare.

"LET'S GO PEOPLE! TEAMS OF THREE!" You ordered and watched them settle down.

The basketball court buzzed with anticipation as the two teams prepared for the ultimate showdown. On one side stood you, Katsuki , and kirishima, ready to showcase your skills. On the other side, Mina, Kaminari, and Sero exchanged determined glances, their competitive spirits ignited. "LET'S GOOO!" Kirishima roared, which indicated the beginning of the match.

You dribbled the ball, heart pounding with excitement. The court was bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun, casting long shadows across the asphalt. The air crackled with energy as the group eyed each other, eager to see who would come out on top.

You raced towards the basket, bracing yourself at Mina's defence. She was fast, but you were faster. Katsuki's voice boomed across the court, his confidence evident. "Get ready to taste defeat, losers! We're about to show you how it's done!"

Denki smirked, electricity crackling around his fingertips. "Oh, you're in for a shock, Bakugou! IMA MAKE YOU EAT YOUR WORDS!"

Denki's Quirk, as expected, added an electrifying twist to the game, as he used his lightning-fast reflexes to steal the ball and execute lightning-quick passes. Hanta's tape-like appendages provided him with exceptional manoeuvrability, allowing him to make strategic plays and catch opponents off guard.

The competitive spirit that had fueled the game now transformed into a shared sense of achievement. "I DIDN'T KNOW YOU COULD BALL!" Sero said high-fiving you.

"You gotta expect the unexpected!" You grinned at him.

Katsuki, though trying to maintain his cool facade, couldn't help but crack a small smile. "Yeah, well, don't expect a repeat performance anytime soon. You got lucky!"

You grinned, nudging Katsuki playfully. "See? Deep down, you're just a big softie." Katsuki's response was a playful shove.
