A/N: last 4 chapters how are we feeling😔

-

The hurt was still there. Of course it was.

But it remained in the back of your head as of the last week, especially since you have been too busy doing the new house the way you wanted while Bakugou went back to his patrols.

You spent hours on end in that house, painting, decorating, finding things to change before slowly adding furniture and changing rooms into your own. One room being your own space, another room being his space, the basement being a comfortable space with a large TV and couch with a built in bar. The garage being turned into a personal gym.

Everything was slowly fitting like a puzzle but you still worry that after you were done, the faint painful memories would creep back in once again.

You were still upset with your boyfriend, just a smidge. But he left you alone to work on the house, only ever in your space to drop you off in the morning before work then picking you up at the end of the day to spend the rest of the night quietly in your shared apartment.

"When can I see the house?" He asked as you both sat at the small dining table, eating the dinner he had brought home.

"When I'm finished." You answered with a slight teasing tone, glancing up at him.

"Oh yeah? I buy you a house and I have to wait?" He gave you a slight smirk, making you nod as you chewed silently.

"Mhm," you hummed, picking at the food on your plate for a moment before taking another bite.

The next few days went on as normal as it can get. You being in that house for well over 12 hours working, keeping your mind busy, keeping your hands occupied. You needed to forget, wishing everything would just fade away with time as you helped the guys move in the furniture you ordered.

You wiped the sweat off your forehead, staring at the finished living and dining room. You stared at the giant couch, the flat screen tv with a few bookshelves around decorated with books, pictures and other decor.

Then as you propped up one last frame, the one with the two of you on Christmas Day, it made everything fit. It all started to make sense.

You worked on filling the kitchen next, adding small decorations here and there then using Bakugou's card to buy everything to fill up the cabinets, pantry, saving the fridge for last since you knew it was a matter of a day or two of it being finished to move in.

When it was all finished, however, you finally let him walk inside of the house. He looked at every room, every piece of furniture, picture frame, decoration. His eyes scanning what you have been doing since the day after Christmas.

"This is where all the money went, huh?" He said in a joking manner as you stood there fidgeting with your fingers.

"Well, who else was going to pay for this?" You joked back, rolling your eyes playfully. To be fair most of your money went into this but on occasion you did use his card on items.

He took a short breath, taking in everything then as you both looked outside in the backyard, the snow slowly melting away, his hand moved to rest on your lower back. A small gesture, a small touch.

"You did great." He mumbled, staring at the large yard and he couldn't help but imagine what could be done back there.

A garden? A pool? Maybe get a dog or two? Maybe later down the line a playground for your kids? He's never wanted kids, never thought about the possibility of him being in the right place for one. But as his red eyes moved to glance down at your side profile, seeing the intense stare you had on the yard, probably thinking the same thing, he couldn't help but want a future with you that included a child or two.
