"I'm gonna beat your ass!" Katsuki shouted, gripping the controller tightly, his eyes glued to the screen. "In your dreams!" Denki shot back, grinning as his car pulled ahead of Katsuki's.

(Y/n)'s heart warmed as she watched the scene unfold: her boyfriend and cousin—whom she always considered more like a brother—intensely playing an F1 racing game, with the rest of their friends cheering them on.

"Hm, if you win, I'll finally give you my approval for dating (Y/n)," Denki smirked, glancing at Katsuki from the corner of his eye.

As the race cars neared the finish line, Katsuki's car made a smooth drift, pulling ahead just in time to cross the finish line first.

"No fair! We said no drifts!" Kaminari exclaimed, throwing his hands up in playful protest.

"I don't do fair," Katsuki replied with a smirk as he settled next to (Y/n) on the couch, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. The gesture made her smile.

"Nope, I take everything back. You don't have my approval," Denki retorted.

"I don't need your fucking approval!" Katsuki shot back, pulling (Y/n) closer.

"...oookayyy, let's just continue the F1 tournament," Mina interjected, wiggling her eyebrows playfully. "May I remind you that the winner gets to pick the next movie for our movie night, complete with snacks of their choice?"

With the next match set, Eijirou and Hanta took their positions, and the room filled with cheers and laughter. Katsuki kept his hold on (Y/n), her head resting comfortably on his chest.

"Why is fucking dunce-face that protective of you?" Katsuki whispered near (Y/n)'s ear.

"It's a really funny story," (Y/n) chuckled.

"No, I'll marry a prince when I grow up!" Five-year-old (Y/n) exclaimed as she waved her fairy wand while twirling.

"But, how will you know if the prince is not an evil wizard in disguise?" Denki asked as he continued building a castle by using blocks.

"Uhm." (Y/n) tried to think of an answer, but none seemed to pop in her head.

"Then I guess you'll have to protect (Y/n) from evil people—err wizards, Denki." (Y/n)'s mom smiled at the two kids playing while she had a conversation with her sister—Denki's mom.

"Yes, you're right! Anyone who wants to marry (Y/n) will have to go through me!" Denki pointed at himself.

"Ugh! Now I'll never marry a prince!"

"Don't worry, (Y/n)," her mom chuckled, watching the children's antics. "There are plenty of good princes out there. You just have to find the right one."

Denki nodded seriously, his small face set with determination. "Yeah, and I'll make sure they're not wizards in disguise. I'll protect you, promise!"

(Y/n) pouted, folding her arms. "You're gonna keep scaring them away!"

Denki grinned mischievously. "That's the plan! No evil wizards or mean princes allowed!"

The two mothers shared a knowing smile, amused by the kids' playful imaginations and Denki's fierce protectiveness over his cousin.

"You guys were literally kids," Katsuki mumbled, shaking his head.

"I know, but it's still nice having someone look out for you, even if that someone is a dumbass," (Y/n) replied with a smile as Sero raised his arms in victory from his earlier win.
