My Hero Academia Imagines

{Domestic AU} Hair Ties (Bakugou Katsuki)

Domestic Bakugou Katsuki:

You had not seen him like this for a few years, but it brought back a few fond memories. Back during your early days of dating the one and only Bakugou Katsuki, he would arrive back to your small shared apartment exhausted from his days as a new sidekick.

He would collapse onto the couch, passing out from the moment his head hit the slightly worn out and hard cushions. His mind slipping into unconsciousness, his breathing and face slipping into calmness and peace for the rare times.

His hard work and drive shining through his sore muscles and sleepy face. Calming even more when you would creep onto the couch, lifting his head gently to rest on your legs. Your fingers running and brushing through his locks softly, earning a slight comfortable sound from his lips.

You would always continue, your fingers running, turning and twisting his hair as he slept, enjoying the feeling of being so close to him, even if he was sleeping. He looked so at peace, like some part of his mind knowing that the object of his desires was right there, holding him and watching over him as he slept, not caring that she was so close and touching the explosive locks that he was so picky about.

He was never exactly happy when he woke up however, stealing a glance at his appearance in the mirror in the living room. His ash blonde hair tied up in small pony tails, sticking every direction and the bands made of plastic colors.

His eye would twitch, his red orbs looking to how the hell he was going to pull out these annoying accessories and fast. He didn't want them in any longer, nor was he pleased that you had found them so funny.

He would yell at you as he viciously pulled them out of his hair, your laughter roaring as he pulled too hair, a lock or two getting stuck in the plastic. You would assist him a moment later, showing him that if he didn't want to pull his strands out, he needed to move the bands out gently.

Once again, he relaxed as your hands came into his hair, his mind wondering as you did so, his own heart reminding him of how his feelings for this particular girlfirend were quickly becoming something new and different from the other ones.

It happened several times through your years of dating: him coming home tired as a new sidekick and then a new hero, falling asleep on the couch for an hour or two, you letting him rest on your lap, hands messing and tying his hair up, and him waking up to his strange hairdo.

The only difference as the years went on was how calmer he got every time it happened. His angry and disbelief changed to slight annoyance, to comfort and appreciation to the plastic bands of elastic in his hair.

He was falling for this one, his attitude and inner raging calming down the longer she stayed with him being a testament to that. By the time he had dated yoru for three years, he made up his mind.

He was marrying this one before she got away. That was for sure.

And he had done just that: proposed, married, large house, stable careers and two kids. Not too shabby if he thought so himself.

But as he got more busy with his own agency and his lovely wife with her own chosen path as well, the two of you made sure to always put family first. No more late nights, no more missions that lasted days unless it was dire, and no more coming home so tired your children would not be able to see you.

So it was a blast from the past when Katsuki came in one evening from a three day mission he was asked to go on with some other top heroes. He could not spare you details, but the way he told you to keep an eye on the kids before he left told you it must have been important.
