You sat in the airport, chewing your nails. Only five minutes left. The day you had been dreading had finally arrived. What was she going to say? Would she agree to let you stay at the dorms? Or would she make you drop out? Maybe she-

Your thoughts were cut off by a voice you were all too familiar with. "L/N." Yoy snapped your head towards her. You looked her up and down. She was wearing a calf length designer dress along with expensive sunglasses and a hat. She strutted towards you clanking her expensive heels, swinging her Chanel handbag from left to right.

You rolled your eyes. Why did she always have to dress like that? "Grandma." You bowed, putting on a fake smile. "It's so nice to see y-" "Well?" She interrupted, not seeming to even notice that you were in the middle of greeting her. "Aren't you going to get my luggage?"

"This is where I live." You said, welcoming her home. She looked like she had something to say about it, but just scoffed and walked inside.

You scrambled after her with her baggage weighing you down. Why did she have 3 different suitcases when she was staying for 2 nights?

"Would you like something? Tea?" You offered. "Some oolong tea would be lovel- oh nevermind. You wouldn't have something like that in this craphole of yours. Water is fine."

You bit your tongue and gave her a sickly sweet smile. Which is why you should just sign off on the freaking dorm arrangement and get the heck out of here! You wanted to scream at her.

"Well." She sighed. "There's no point in pretending like we're happy to see each other. Tell me what you want. I'll take care of a few personal things and be on my way in a couple days."

"My school needs a guardian's permission to begin a dorm system. I need you to sign off on it." You explained.

"Hmm." She sipped on her water. "And here I thought you missed me and wanted to see me again."

"W-what? You just said-"
"I'm disappointed in you, Y/N."

You were just baffled. Deciding not to waste any more precious braincells on the lady sitting in front of you, you walked into the kitchen. "I'm making pasta for lunch. Is that okay with you?" You asked, expecting her to ask for something extravagant as usual.

And she did. "Oh I'll have a Coq au Vin." She said. "Yeah I'll make some pasta for you too." You called back to her, ignoring her request.

Just then, the front door swung open. Katsuki walked in. "Hey, you left your shirt at my hous-" he paused when he noticed your grandmother.

Her expression was contorted into one of disgust. Her eyebrows raised and her nostrils flared. "Uhh. And you are?"

You rushed out. "Katsu!" You said, taking the bag containing your shirt from his hand. Shoot. You had completely forgotten to mention that your grandmother was coming.

"Uh- This is Caroline. My grandmother." You introduced them. "This is Bakugou Katsuki, Grandma. He's-"

"Hmph!" She scoffed. "I know exactly who this boy is."
"It's rude t-" You nudged his shoulder hard, making him shut up. You didnt know what he was going to say but you didn't want to hear it.

"Alright! That's great! You should go home now Katsu! Thanks for bringing my sh- stuff over." You said, rushing him out of your house.

"Nonsense!" Your grandmother cried. "Come inside! Join us for lunch. Let's talk." You mentally face palmed. You didn't like where this was going.

"So, Bakugou!" She said. "Tell me. Why are my grand daughters clothes at your house? You're with her, I assume." He spat his pasta out. "Grandma! It's not like that!"
"I believe I was speaking to the boy." She said glaring at you.

"Uh- I-I borrowed it." He made up. "Why are you borrowing girls' clothes, Katsuki? Is your name not the only thing about you that resembles a girl?" She asked.

You would have burst out laughing had anybody else said that. For the first time, Katsuki bit his tongue. He despised the woman interrogating him but he did like you. And this was your grandmother. He needed her to like him for your sake.

"Or perhaps, like me, you too couldn't stand her abysmal fashion choices and how she wears them." Your face turned bright red. You knew she wasn't referring to your 'choice in fashion' but your choice as in the 'cheap' brands. She knew you couldn't afford to shop at high end stores like her and wanted to rub it in.

"I like everything she wears." Katsuki said to your surprise. "I think every piece of clothing looks beautiful on her." Your face went red again but not because of shame this time.

Caroline narrowed her eyes at him. She knew of the Bakugous. They were a bit on the wealthier side. The boy was wearing branded clothes too. She wondered why he was defending you like that. She couldn't possibly fathom that someone could care about you alone and not your social standing, wealth, status. That's the only reason she had married her late husband after all.

She made a disgusted face again. "What are you planning with my grand daughter, Bakugou?" She asked. "I'm sure you aren't  aware of this, but she said she would provide for herself when she left. I am willing to wager that she would be working as a waitress or cook somewhere now."

Your jaw dropped. What exactly was she trying to say? "I know of it." He said. "It's great that she's so independent. It's not easy."

Your grandmother seemed baffled at his response. "P-pardon? She has a blue collar job!" She said. "You're willing to be with her even so?"

"I am dating your granddaughter because I love her unconditionally. The fact that she works as a waitress doesn't concern me." He said nonchalantly, taking a sip of his drink. "Taking into consideration a person's status before loving them isn't love. Not that you would know."

Scorched. She stared at him in utter shock and disbelief. Her face scrunched up. He was getting on her last nerves. Bakugou was starting to sound too much like your father. Spouting nonsense like unconditional love.

It made her extremely furious.
