Promise. | Kirishima x Bakugou

chapter 2: family

(a/n: all text in italic is sign language)
Kirishima yawned as he rolled over to find the empty half to the bed. The smell of coffee and bacon (a/n: ik this is not a typical japanese breakfast haha ) became present. A smile grew on his face as he got up from the bed. Slipping on his slippers Kiri sleepily waddled out of the room to find Bakugou in the kitchen making breakfast. He took his arms and came up behind Bakugo and wrapped them around him tightly.
The contact caught Bakugou off guard causing him to jump.
He did not like putting his hear aids in on his days off.
"Good morning to you too." Kiri nuzzled his face into Bakugou muscular back. The smell of cinnamon and his shampoo was Kirishima's favorite thing.
Kirishima fiddled with the ring on his finger. Bakugou turned off the stove and grabbed Kiri's hand. He gently kissed the ring, bringing his hand to his face.
"Breakfast is ready."
"Awesome, now get out of my way so i can eat." Kiri responded.
"No. Not until I get a kiss."
Kirishima looked him in the eye and kissed him.
"Now we eat!" Kiri signed.

The couple sat at a table they places near the window. This allowed them to view the city from a far in their cozy apartment. Bakugou watched people walk past their building and cars pass while he sipped his coffee.
Kirishima did the same.
He tightened his grip around his coffee cup.
There was something he had to ask Bakugou. But he was so nervous about how he would react that a lump was starting to form in his throat.
Good thing he can't hear though , so he has to sign it to him.
Soon, Bakugou felt a tap on his shoulder. Kiri was trying to get his attention. He turned his head from the window and looked him in the eye.
"I was thinking about something and I want to run this idea by you first."
"Okay, what is it?"
"I'm not sure if you will like this idea Katsuki."
"I guess we will find out once you tell me." Bakugou smiled.
Kirishima twiddled his thumbs and bit his bottom lip.
"Well, I was thinking about-"
he began to fumble with his hands as they become clammy. "maybe trying tea."
'Dammit.' Kirishima thought.
Bakugou laughed. "Instead of coffee?"
Kirishima put on a nervous smile. "Yes."
"Well sure. I think that could be better for the both of us. We can go to the store today to pick some out." Bakugo smiled. He got up and collected their plates. He kissed Kiri's forehead before heading back into the kitchen.
Kirishima let out a sign and rubbed his face with his hands.
"I want a kid." he said.
"I want us, to start a family."
He tightly closed his eyes and turned toward his husband who did not look back. He did not hear him. Obviously.
Kirishima sighed and waited for Katsuki to come back to the table.
"Do you mind putting your hearing aids in?" Kiri asked. "I want you to really hear what I have to say."
Bakugou grabbed his hearing aids and put them in. "Okay." Bakugou said.
Kirishima took a deep breath and sighed.
"Something wrong?" Bakugou asked.
"I...want...I want to start a family."

Bakugou stiffened.

"I want to adopt a child, Katsuki. With you."

Bakugou took in Kirishima's words and thought about them. "It is hard being...a pro hero Ejirou."
Kirishima broke a sweat and smiled. "It is...ha"
"We will...have to take...classes. Yes?"
"Yes, but I'm sure together we could do it!" Kirishima smiled.
Bakugou ran his fingers through his hair. He took his hearing aids out and sighed. "I need to think about this." He got up from the table and went to the bathroom and started the shower.
Kirishima's heart pounded.
He rubbed his sweaty hands together.

"Maybe, he doesn't want to have a child."

2 Weeks pass since Kirishima brought up the adoption idea to Bakugou. Bakugou has not said anything about the situation.

Kirishima puts down the book he is reading on the couch. He approaches Bakugou at the kitchen table.
"Can we talk? With hearing aids?"
Bakugou put in the devices and listened.
"Bakugou, it's about the adoption thing I-"
"Ejirou-"
"Katsuki please we need to talk about this!"
"Not now."
"Just listen, I really think starting a family would be good for us! I think adopting a child would be-"
"WOULD YOU JUST STOP?" Bakugou shouted.
Kirishima paused and looked up at him.
Bakugou let out a heavy sigh. "I don't want...to talk about this with you now."
Kirishima felt his body heat up.
Tears fell from his eyes.
He got up from the table and ran to the bedroom.
Bakugou stayed at the kitchen table.

Bakugou grabbed his phone and sent a text.

"Are you busy tomorrow? I need to talk to you about something important."

"No, I am not busy. We can meet tomorrow at noon."

Location: Coffee Place
Time: Noon

Bakugou got out of his car and walked into the welcoming coffee shop. The baristas whispered, "It's the pro hero Ground Zero!" Bakugou waved to them and waited for them to show him the private room he requested.
"Do you think he is hear to meet him?" One of the employees whispers to another. "Why else would he be here?"
"Right this way Ground Zero." one of the employees showed him the frosted glass door which led to a different room.
Bakugou adjusted his hearing aids. "Thank you." he said and opened the door.

"Hey nerd." Bakugou joked.
"Kaachan."

Bakugou sat across the other pro hero and childhood friend, Deku.

"Sorry if my speech is..weird. I will sign what I say...also." Bakugou said.
Midoriya signed back saying "Okay."
He asked Bakugou what he wanted to talk about.

Kirishima wants a..child." Bakugou started.
"Really? That would be awesome!"
"No..you don't get it. I can't."
Midoriya's smile faded. What do you mean?"
"We can't have a child...and be heros...at the same time."
"Sure you can. You just really have to want to take care of your child. Sure, it's hard and kind of expensive, but being a pro hero gives you enough money to be able to fully take care of a child. So money shouldn't be an issue for you, or for Kirishima."
Bakugou shifted in his seat and sighed.
"Money isn't the issue, is it?" Midoriya asked.
Bakugou looked at his friend.
"It's you. Isn't it?"
"I...I want to start a...family. I want to...raise a child. To be..a dad. But...what if I am...no good? What if I can't...take care of them?"
Midoriya looked at him and was saddened.
"What if...I can't hear them...when they need me? If they are in trouble...and I cannot hear them? What will...I do?"
Midoriya has never seen his overly confident friend, doubt himself about something so strongly.
"Kaachan, you won't be alone. Kirishima will help you. He will be there to help you and your family. You are both together in this."
"I guess-"
"Kaachan, do you want to start a family?"
Bakugou looked back at his hands and rubbed them together.
"More than anything."
"Then you will be a great dad. If you really want a family, a child, then I know you will do what it takes to take care of them. And so will Kirishima."
Bakugou smiled and looked back up.
"Kirishima, will stay by your side and will support you. I know he will."
"You...You're right."
Midoriya laughed. "I never thought I'd hear that coming from YOU!"
Bakugou laughed along.

Their meeting ended and Bakugou went home and found Kirishima reading on the couch.
Bakugou sat next to him. Kirishima did not look at him, he was still upset.
Bakugou rubbed his arm.

"I...think pink is a...good color to paint our spare room"
Kirishima looked at him. "For what?"
"A daughter."

Kirishima's eyes widen as he quickly turned to his husband. "REALLY?!" he shouted excitedly. Bakugou's hearing aids began to ring as Kirishima tackled him on the couch.
"MY HEARING AIDS!!" Bakugou shouted.
Kirishima laughed and apologized.
Bakugou smiled and broke into a laughing fit.

Kirishima brought his face close to Bakugou's.
"Are you being serious?"
"100%"

Kirishima kissed his husband.
"You mean we can really start-"

"a family."
