Missing Pieces

Eleven

"Babe...did you hear that?" Kirishima sat up in the middle of the night. He could have sworn he heard something whining. Maybe it was just the wind.
"Huh?" Bakugou opened one eye, not looking very impressed to have been stirred from his slumber.
"I think I heard...never mind..." He might have just been dreaming it.
"Dumbass. C'mere." Bakugou pulled on Kirishima's t-shirt, trying to get him back to bed. The redhead settled into his boyfriend's arms where he belonged.
"I got an email this morning."
"Oh?"
Kirishima had wanted to tell Bakugou earlier, but in the excitement of the park, seeing him really connect with Riko like that...he had forgotten until then.
"Their mom is getting out of rehab soon."
"How soon?" Kirishima had never heard that particular tone of disappointment in Bakugou's voice before.
"Like...a week..."
"That soon, huh?"
"The programs are only twenty eight days, and she was already two weeks along when we got the kids."
"Ah shit. What are we going to do about it?"
"I mean...it's up to you, Katsuki."
"Up to me, huh?"
"Yeah. I'm cool with whatever you decide."
Bakugou entangled his legs with Kirishima's, sliding his hands along the redhead's back, beneath his shirt so he could touch his skin.
"Ei, why are you always so warm?"
"I dunno..."
"It's nice."
Kirishima smiled, tucking his face into the crook of his neck. "You're really getting along with Riko, aren't you?"
"I guess."
"It's too bad that their mom is almost out of rehab. I mean...it's great that she's getting clean and stuff, but it would have been great if you could have gotten through to her..."
"Maybe..." Bakugou rolled onto his back, pulling Kirishima on top of him. "Shitty hair..."
"Yeah?"
"You make a pretty decent blanket."
"Do I?"
"Yeah." Bakugou rolled them over again, pinning him to the bed. "And you make an even better pillow." He leaned down to kiss his boyfriend's lips.
"Katsuki...do you normally kiss your pillows?"
"Yeah. Where do you think I learned to do it?"
"Uh...from girls in middle school?"
"Nah. I never kissed anyone until you." Bakugou shrugged like it was nothing, but it meant everything to Kirishima.
"I was your first kiss? Seriously?"
"You were a lot of firsts." Bakugou kissed Kirishima's neck, sending shivers up Kiri's spine.
"You were my first time...ahem...making love...but that's it."
"Seriously? I figured you had experience."
"That was one hundred percent instinct." Kirishima felt his face go hot. Bakugou wasn't the type to talk about this stuff, so it got kind of embarrassing to discuss it with him.
"I must not have good instincts then..." Bakugou admitted, lowering himself down onto Kirishima's chest, ear pressed right over his heartbeat.
"Bottoms don't need instincts."
"I'm not a bottom!"
"You literally have never topped me, Katsuki."
"I'm not a bottom."
"You have always taken it. I've yet to have you inside me." Kirishima gulped. What the HELL was he saying?! So shameless! This was Bakugou he was talking to.
"Do you want me inside you?"
He swallowed. "What?"
"Do you want me to top you, Eijirou?"
"Hajime..."
"Is two. I don't think he gives a shit."
"We're loud, Katsuki."
"Oh..."
"But we both have a day off tomorrow, right? We could do it then...while Riko's at school?"
"You're actually cool with this? It kinda hurts, Ei."
"I'm completely cool with it. I've wanted to do it like that for a while but I didn't know how to ask.
"Just ask, moron."
"I..." Kirishima trailed off. He heard the other bedroom door opening, followed by a knock on theirs.
"Yeah?" Bakugou called out. The door slowly opened and Riko stepped in, nervous.
"Can I sleep in here tonight?"
"Of course you can, sweetie." Kirishima soothed. Bakugou didn't object, even though she had interrupted their conversation.
Riko jumped up onto the bed, squirming in between Kirishima and Bakugou. She snuggled. Little closer to Bakugou than Kiri, which made the redhead smile.
Everything was going so great.
Why did it have to end so soon?
