Expecting the Unexpected (Bakugou Katsuki x Reader - Domestic Pregnancy AU)

Week 9

Ch.1 - Week 9

"Hey... you like fucking coffee?"

Had you known that Bakugou's request toward you as you both held onto your diplomas and in graduation robes would lead to something else, you wouldn't have teased him so much for his choice of words. You had honestly assumed he was going to become one of your classmates you'd only see at reunions and hero meetups. But now having him directly in front of you, with cheeks painted in a soft rose hue and averting your eyes you realized that this was real and he was trying to find a way to still see you on a regular basis.

If you had known back then this would be the start of the both of you dating, you would have tried to confess your own feelings before. And yet, in the five years since that fateful graduation day where Bakugou Katsuki had made it clear that he didn't want you to show up less in his life then you had in the last three years.

Time had been kind to both of you as well. It was a rocky start leaving UA of course, seeing as you both had numerous offers and requests from different agencies for sidekick positions, but now also trying to make time for a relationship neither of you had been planning for during your final months at UA.

But, you were dedicated to seeing where this would go, and to your surprise, Bakugou was as well. You had honestly read him the wrong way, assuming he'd put so much into his hero career that he'd be the type to often cancel last minute or forget about plans.

He was the opposite. Bakugou was punctual. He only canceled a handful of times, being times that he clearly needed to rest or take care of something. Like the time he called you mid-fight with some drug overlord to tell you he might be running late. You, of course, told him to focus on what was in front of him and you two could always reschedule.

It seemed to you that Bakugou took everything and everyone he saw as worth his time and efforts seriously. And you were nowhere near an exception. He was as serious of being the 'best fucking boyfriend you could fucking have' as much as he was working towards being the top-ranked hero.

But, he still had his flaws. He threw himself into his work a little too much at times, wanting to get to the top as fast as he could. And after a year of dating, you could see how tiring it was starting to become on him. That's when you really started to step in, seeing as unlike him who was out in the field a lot, you had gone back to UA to apprentice under Aizawa and become a student teacher, and eventually a head teacher yourself.

So, with plenty of opportunities at UA, you'd recruit him to help out with the students as much as possible. Bakugou may not be fond of children... but he did enjoy being idolized as much as he did when he was in UA. Thus, helping the next generation train and learn from his capable hands seemed to do wonders on his moods... as well as still allow him to work and get paid as a hero through the agency he was working at.

You couldn't recall the exact circumstances, but it had to have been somewhere along that time that you had realized that simply dating Bakugou was not where your feelings lay. He had defied every one of your preset expectations of him and had shown that he was something special... and you knew you didn't want to let this one go.

You hadn't known at that time that you were in love with the ash blonde, but he had come to that conclusion not too far away from your own little epiphany. The ash blonde knowing that without a doubt he would be utterly screwed if he did anything to mess this up with you. He was too far attached, infatuated, and emotionally vulnerable with you to want anyone else in his life right beside him in the way you were.

Being him though, it was only a matter of time until that big fight came. You could recall it not so fondly. It had been three years after graduating from UA, and Bakugou was really starting to get antsy. He was tired of being a sidekick, and barely making the top fifty heroes. Sure he was still leagues ahead of everyone else. Midoriya and Todoroki had only ever reached the top one hundred, but to Bakugou... it wasn't good enough and he needed to find whatever he was doing wrong.
