Chapter 28


Smiling to myself, I drive down the motorway toward a nearby grocery store while Katsuki rests a hand on my thigh. Both of us needing to take a quick pit stop to the store before going back to his house due to me needing to grab a couple of instant meals for Sakino for next week and Katsuki needing to stock up on certain foods. The male cheekily squeezing every now and then making me curse under my breath with a giggle, sticking my tongue out toward him which would make him snort. A small grin on his lips as I drive up to the grocery store and park up in a free slot.


Turning off the ignition, I press a soft kiss to my boyfriends lips before grabbing some grocery bags and leaving the car. The pair of us shut our doors before I lock up the car. Being the gentleman that I know he is, Katsuki takes the grocery bags from me and holds them under his arm while he laces his other hand in mine. Trying to bite back the blush threatening to pursue itself across my cheeks, I walk beside him into the store and we head toward the vegetable section first so Katsuki could get what he needed for our meal.


Clicking his tongue, standing in front of the vegetables with his hands on his hips, Katsuki eyes it all before grabbing a packet of bok choy, some carrots, mushrooms, peppers, spring onions, broccoli and some shallots. The male placing them all in the basket that I had managed to get as we walked in. After he makes sure that he has enough vegetables for the pair of us, we walk toward the dry foods section for him to grab some noodles and pasta.


As he judges between a couple of them, he looks toward me to see which ones I would prefer making my lips curl up into a smile. He's not only thinking of himself anymore and it's adorable when he looks toward me to see if I have any objection toward anything that he's picking out. Sending him a smile, I point toward one of them making him nod and slide it into the basket.


Before we could move to another section, a little hand pokes Katsuki's back making him turn around and look toward the small little girl who's close to tears. Sharing a look, Katsuki kneels down in front of the girl and sends her a small smile as she wipes her eyes and takes a deep breath. My heart almost breaking as she sniffles.


"A — are you Dynamight?" She asks, her voice cracking as Katsuki looks toward me for a tissue to which I hand him one from my purse and let him wipe the girls eyes. The little girl sniffling as Katsuki nods, "I — I lost my mommy... I — I don't know where she is,"


"Okay, take a deep breath for me," Katsuki tells her, letting her hold his hand as she takes a deep breath. The girl copying Katsuki with a sniffle, "That's it, can you tell me your name?"


"A — Anzu," She whimpers, sniffling as Katsuki nods and rubs her back as he looks toward me making me smile gently and take a deep breath, "I — I don't know where my mommy is,"


"We'll find her, don't worry," I coo gently, handing her another tissue before letting her hold Katsuki's hand as we head toward one of the store workers, "Whats your mommy look like, sweetie?"


"She... she has brown hair and... she's really tall," Anzu explains, sniffling gently before giggling as Katsuki picks her up gently and she clings to him tightly, "I didn't know where she went,"


"Well we'll find her," Katsuki tells her, calling over one of the workers and explaining the situation while Anzu fiddles with his blonde locks, "They're gonna do an announcement so your mom can come and get you okay?"


"Thank you," Anzu says, giggling as Katsuki sticks his tongue out before she looks toward me and waving nervously before whispering to Katsuki, "Your girlfriends really pretty and nice,"


"I know," Katsuki whispers back, winking toward the little girl who giggles before looking around to try and see if her mother was coming, "You see your mom?"


As the little brunette girl seeks out her mother from where we're standing, I send Katsuki a small smile. I couldn't help but feel a swell of pride spreading across my chest. Despite how the media often portrays Katsuki, and believe me I know he can be quite brash and loud, he can have his moments. However, here he is, being quiet and patient and making sure that this little girl is comfortable.


I guess children are his soft spot.


Or, knowing Katsuki, he had to go through a training course under Best Jeanist's command on how to handle children and what not to do with them. I wouldn't be surprised if he did have to do a course like this... but then again, seeing him with the twins and with Kokoa (his goddaughter) it was like he was a natural with children.


Seconds later, someone shouts out Anzu's name making the girl wriggle out of Katsuki's arms. The little girl rushing toward a rather tall brunette woman with big doe eyes and wearing markings of a deer. The woman having beautiful tanned skin with white freckles all across her nose and cheeks like a deer would. Her daughter jumps into her arms and holds her tightly while Katsuki and I share a smile before I kiss his cheek.


"Thank you so much," Anzu's mother praises, looking through her bag making Katsuki shake his head, "I need to repay you,"


"There's no need, ma'am, it's my job to help out," Katsuki reassures her making the woman nod gently and hold her daughter close while Anzu pokes at her mothers white markings, "Just make sure she doesn't run off again,"


"Of course! Thank you so much!" The woman praises again before rubbing her daughters back and looking toward her, "What do you say to Mr. Dynamight?"


"Thank you," Anzu says, wiping her eyes and smiling brightly. I look toward Katsuki making him clear his throat with a smile. The mother asks for a picture to which he accepts and she hands me her phone so I could take it. They have a quick picture with one another, the mother thanking me as I hand her her phone back, "Thank you for helping me,"


"No problem, kid," Katsuki hums ruffling her hair making Anzu giggle and wave me goodbye as I wave her back, "Behave for your mom, she knows best,"


Anzu nods and giggles before waving us goodbye while her mother walks off. Once they're out of sight, I wrap my arm around Katsuki's arm and kiss his cheek making him chuckle and look toward me. As our eyes meet, we share a chaste kiss before pulling away and walking down toward the frozen section so I can get some meat and frozen meals that can just be put in the microwave (since Sakino can't cook for herself).


"You're such a softie, Kat," I hum, smiling toward him as I add a couple of frozen meals into the basket. The male shaking his head with a grin as he watches me grab some ice cream as well as some cheesecake, "Thought we could have some desert tonight, a little reward for you,"


"You know it's my job, right?" He asks arching a brow before chuckling as I wave him off and pat his cheek as we head toward the checkout, "I don't need rewards for doing something I'm paid to do,"


"So do you not want a make out tonight?" I ask arching my brow before laughing as he gawks at me and frowns playfully, "I'm joking! I'm joking! You can have your make out, just let me spoil you, okay?"


After a little grumble, Katsuki lets me buy everything that we needed. The cashier register having a little fanboy moment as he looks toward Katsuki and begins to tell Katsuki that he's one of his biggest fans. The blonde grins to himself and entertains the male before coming round to let the cashier have a picture with him, Katsuki's head probably getting bigger and bigger with every compliment that the cashier supplies him with. As soon as I pay and Katsuki finishes signing an autograph for the male, we head back out of the store toward the car.


As I fill up the trunk and slide back into the passenger seat of the car (Katsuki wanting to drive us home), I lace my hand with his and kiss his knuckles. Setting off a small playful explosion that tickles my hand, Katsuki nips at my cheek before turning on the ignition and driving off. The male connecting his phone to the car to allow his music to play, a laugh leaving my lips as Katsuki nods his head along to the beat.


"So what's for dinner, Chef Katsuki?" I tease, leaning back against the seat as he speeds down the motorway with a grin on his lips. The male looking toward me before going back to the road, "Is it your famous curry again?"


"Nah, I thought we could do some homemade pizzas," He explains, a small blush spreading across his cheeks as he clears his throat, "I've already made the dough, we just need to shape it and then we could put our own toppings on,"


"That sounds fun," I hum, smiling to myself and tucking a strand of hair behind my ear as I look out the window, "Who's idea was that then? Yours?"


"It was actually Shitty Hair's, I asked him what things we could do together in the kitchen," Katsuki explains with a small smile as he parks up in the driveway and switches the ignition off before looking toward me, "So after I taped Denki's mouth shut with his stupid idea of having kitchen sex, Eijiro suggested making pizzas,"


"I'm surprised you didn't bury the blonde alive," I tease, sliding out the car and heading toward the front door. I get my own key to Katsuki's home out and unlock the front door while he gets the grocery bags, "How are they all doing? Denki doing okay with becoming a dad?"


"I think he'll do fine, he'll be a great dad, he just needs Earphones to kick him up the ass," Katsuki says, walking into the home and kicking his shoes off before stopping as I grin playfully toward him and bite my lip, "What?"


"Did you just compliment Denki?" I tease, laughing as he goes bright red and sets the grocery bag down. Immediately, I run toward the couch as he chases after me while I burst into a fit of giggles, "I'm so telling Denki! You said he'd be a great dad!"


"Baby Face!" He growls playfully, pulling me into his chest and attacking my neck and cheek with kisses while he tickles my sides chasing shrieks and giggles from my lips, "Cheeky little shit!"


"You're emoting, Kat!" I tease, laughing as he squeezes my hips and kisses my cheek before pulling away and flicking my arm. Sticking my tongue out at him, I follow him into the kitchen and jump up to sit on the kitchen counter. I poke his cheek playfully as he grabs some tomato sauce to spread on the dough and toppings, "You're so cute, Kat,"


"If I'm cute, you must be fucking adorable," He teases, smirking when I squeak and whine. My hands slide over my face as my cheeks burn a bright red. The male then grinning as he teasingly jeers, "Look babe, you're emoting,"


Pushing him away playfully, I watch as he pulls out a bowl from the cupboard full of the pizza dough he made from scratch. A small smile playing on my lips as he divides the dough into two separate mounds before moving his head to signal for me to come over. After tying my hair up, I slide off the counter and walk toward him. My lips curling into a smile as he pushes me in front of him so I'm in between both him and the counter.


As I begin to roll the dough flat, Katsuki slides his hands over mine and rests his chin on my shoulder as his hands overlap mine. The pair of us beginning to flatten the dough before pinching it to make the crust. A laugh leaves my lips as he kisses my cheek and presses himself against me while we do the same to the other dough.


Once the two bases are flat and are on the pizza trays, Katsuki and I begin to top them. We slide the tomato sauce over the base before sprinkling grated cheese on top. Katsuki pulls away to make his own, the male placing chicken pieces on top with some sweetcorn before dousing it all in chilli powder. Biting back the laughs, I begin to add my favourite pizza toppings on top of my own pizza. A giggle leaving my lips as I flick some cheese toward my boyfriend before shrieking as he squirts some tomato sauce at me.


After we place our pizzas into the oven, Katsuki wipes down the side and kisses my forehead while I wrap my arms around his neck. The pair of us staring into each others eyes before Katsuki hoists me into his arms and pins me against the wall of the kitchen. My chest pressed against his as he kisses my neck, groaning as I tangle my fingers with his blonde locks.


As he pulls away from my neck, Katsuki presses his lips against mine making me hum and pull him close. The pair of us moulding our lips together as his hands squeeze at my thighs. A small giggle leaving my lips as he pulls away and stares at me. The pair of us smile and press another kiss to each other before we pull away and I stand back up.


"Wanna drink?" He asks opening the cupboard and pulling out two glasses while I nod and point toward the lemonade, "So... you gonna talk to me about what Kana said? About the... you know..."


"I..." I begin before clearing my throat and lean against the counter with a small sigh. My eyes closing as I shake my head, "I can't... I... I'm sorry Kat but I just..."


"It's okay, it's something that's difficult to disclose," he explains gently, kissing my forehead as I send him a nervous smile before jumping as the oven timer goes off, "I'll be ready whenever you are. There's some things that I find difficult to share but I know you'll know soon,"


As I go to reply, Katsuki winces making my eyes widen before stopping as he clutches his ear. A small groan leaving his lips as he curses under his breath and allows me to pull the pizzas out while he sorts himself out. The male sighing as I set down the fries and the pizzas before looking toward him worried. My eyes widening slightly when I finally notice a hearing aid in his left ear.


He's partially deaf?...


Katsuki sends me a small smile as I take a deep breath and kiss his cheek. The male chuckling as I sort out the plates and head toward the living room to begin digging into our food. I look toward his ear, noticing the hearing aid before I clear my throat. There's no harm in asking right? Surely there won't be any offence taken if I just ask?


"So how come you have hearing aids?" I ask carefully, looking toward him as he chuckles gently and takes a deep breath, "Are you deaf?"


"Partially," He explains, as he looks toward me and swallows down a handful of his pizza, "As you know my quirk is quite extreme. I slightly burnt my ear during a fight and I let off this big explosion which basically ruined my hearing in my left ear. I can go without the hearing aid but it's easier with it on,"


"Wow," I marvel softly, kissing his cheek as I finish my meal and snuggle into his side, "You're so amazing,"


"You think everything about me is amazing,"...


"Well, you're my boyfriend. If you want me to call you shit I'm more than happy to if that makes you happy,"...


"Watch it, Baby Face,"...
