Parental KiriBaku hcs incoming

For a while he says he doesn’t want kids. Completely shuts Eijirou down when he brings it up, rolls his eyes and checks out when other people bring up kids around him, and all he’ll ever say when asked directly is “I don’t want fuckin kids”

But one night. One night is a rough night, because there are kids involved. A villain attacks a museum and there’s a group of middle school kids there on a field trip. Not all of them make it out ok. Katsuki and Eijirou are two of the first heroes on the scene.

Ei sees how Katsuki is with them, sees how he calms them and cares for them, and he remembers all the times Katsu ever said “I don’t want kids” “fuck kids”

They get home and Ei finally asks him why

And it’s because he’s scared. He’s scared to death that he’s gonna be a bad dad, that he’ll fuck up the same way Mitsuki fucked up with him, because he’s too loud and too angry still, even after years of therapy. That’s not to say Mitsuki is a bad mom, she just wasn’t ready to be a mom when she had Katsuki and formed some really bad habits. Habits that translated over to Katsuki, and he’s overwhelmed by the feeling that he’s never gonna be ready to have a kid

When he’s done spilling his heart on the floor, Ei pulls him into a hug and tells him it’s gonna be ok. That not wanting to make the mistakes your parents did is a good reason to not want kids. That he’ll wait until Katsuki is ready to talk about kids before bringing it up again, and if he never does then they’ll just have to be the best damn uncles to Mina and Tetsu’s kids, and Mido and Ochako’s kids.

And the night passes. And another night. Then a week. A month. A year. Two. Five. They don’t bring up the subject, and they regularly babysit their nieces and nephews.

One night after dinner, they’re both silently doing paperwork in their shared home office when Katsuki clears his throat and beckons Eijirou over to his computer

He tilts the monitor slightly and an adoption website is up, open on the information page. Katsuki doesn’t look Ei in the eye.

Eijirou kisses the top of his head and just says “ok”.

“That’s it? You’re not gonna question it or anything?” Katsu still isn’t looking directly at him, and his voice holds the slightest hint of a waver.

“Why would I? I trust you. If you’re bringing it up, then you’re ready to have the kids conversation, right love?”

“…I don’t know. I just– I can’t stop thinking about it, and picturing how a kid would fit into our place, how easy it would be to convert the guest room into a kid’s room and maybe this into a play room. But.”

“…but you’re still scared,” and the way Katsu tenses tells Ei how right he is.

“What if I’m really not ready, Ei,” he whispers.

Eijirou takes a moment to click on a tab he noticed over to the side, and once the page loads he nudges his husband. “We can always foster one first.”

Katsuki reads the page, scrolls through slowly, then exhales long and low. “You’d be alright with that?”

“Of course. I want kids, true, but not if we both aren’t comfortable with the risk. This is a good place to start.”

“What the fuck did I do to deserve you?” And he finally looks at Ei.

He grins a little, leaning down slightly to kiss the pout off his face. “Existed.”

The process is long and slow, but they make all the required changes and provide all the required documentation. They meet their foster daughter a few weeks after Katsuki brought it up.

She’s a quiet kid, with brown hair and eyes that look like she should be laughing more than she does. Her name is Rin and she is eight years old, the orphaned daughter of an English teacher and a counselor at a drug rehab. Her Quirk puts people to sleep with her voice. Eijirou loves her immediately, and even if Katsuki doesn’t show it quite the same way, so does he.

She grows up and gets less and less quiet with each day, except when her gaze gets far-off and misty and her foster dads know she’s missing her first family. She tells them about her twin brother– Yukio, whose Quirk could wake people up with his voice– after two years. He’s still alive, but in a different place because he’s special needs.

Ei and Katsu do a little digging and find that, while it wouldn’t be impossible to foster Yukio, too, it would be hard. Harder than it was to get the clearance for Rin. Nevertheless, they push for it to happen and three months later they get a call from the agency.

“Yukio is available for a home meeting. Does Sunday or Tuesday work better?”

Tuesday is Rin and Yukio’s birthday, so without hesitating Ei replies “Tuesday.”

He confirms the information the agency needs, then hangs up and slides down the hall in his socks to tell Katsu and Rin the good news where they’re working on her homework in the kitchen.

“Rin, princess, there’s going to be a special birthday surprise for you on Tuesday~” he sings, grinning broadly at the way her eyes widen.

“What is it??” she asks, bouncing slightly in her seat.

“Can’t tell you, then it won’t be a surprise,” he chuckles.

She whines, then turns to Katsu like he knows and would be inclined to tell her. Katsuki just smirks and says “what Papa said. Now, you have homework to finish before Tuesday.”

That night, after Rin is sound asleep, Katsu asks Ei what the special birthday surprise is

“Yukio is coming for a home visit. If it goes well, we’ll be fostering him too. I just got the call today.”

“That is a special birthday surprise. She’s gonna love it.”

Tuesday comes and Katsuki and Eijirou greet Yukio and the agent at the door while Rin is still at school. Half an hour later, Katsuki excuses himself to go pick her up.

“Ready to see your surprise?” he asks just before opening the front door.

“YES, Baba!”

She freezes when she sees her brother. Katsu and Ei don’t think she’s breathing, not until Yukio looks over and, smiling, says “oh hi, Rin.” Then she’s rocketing across the floor and pulling her brother into a tight hug, burying her face into his shoulder. Awkwardly, Yukio puts his arms around her, too.

A watery-sounding, muffled “I missed you, Kio,” winds through the room, and it has even Katsuki blinking back tears. The twins separate and Rin hurriedly dries her eyes, before turning to her foster dads again. “This is my birthday surprise?”

“Yup,” Katsuki confirms, nodding his head. She beams, eyes scrunching into slits. They spend the rest of the day playing and reconnecting, Rin walking her brother through her homework and how her school works and giving him a tour of their home and showing him her room. The hours pass and all too soon, it’s time for Yukio to leave.

“I don’t want you to go, Yukio,” she says as they’re walking him out. She sounds miserable, and Katsuki, Eijirou, and the agent share a look over the kids’ heads.

“Well…”

“Actually…”

“As soon as Mr. Bakugou and Mr. Kirishima create a living space for Yukio, he’ll be living with you,” the agent finishes, bending down slightly to look Rin in the eye. She gapes, then whirls to face her foster dads.

“THATS why you were trying to sell the workout equipment??”

“We’re gonna make that Yukio’s room, if he’d like,” Ei says.

Yukio thinks for a moment. “I’ll get to stay with Rin again?” The three adults nod, and he nods too, decisively. “Then yes. I’d like that.”

Two weeks later the room is redone into Yukio’s space, and he’s moving in. It’s too late in the year for him to be transferred into Rin’s school, so they hire a tutor to homeschool him until he can enter middle school with her.

And that’s how they live for the next two years. Katsuki and Eijirou are the parents of two tween terrors, and yes there are less-than-happy times between the four of them. But day by day, Ei can see the fear leave Katsuki as he learns how to be a parent.

A week before the twins’ thirteenth birthday, Katsuki blows open their bedroom door and says “Ei, we’re having a kid.”

Before he can do much more than look up and get really confused, Katsu is shoving two packets of paper under his nose and saying “It’s Rin and Yukio, sign here and here.” The packets are adoption papers, already neatly filled out and signed with Kirishima Katsuki and a blank space where Bakugou Eijirou is supposed to go.

He grins and takes them, cheekily saying “What, do I not get a say in this?” as he’s reaching for a pen. Katsu just rolls his eyes, but he can’t hide the tiny smile on his lips.

Their birthday comes and Rin and Yukio tear away the wrapping paper to find more paper still. Rin whines, disappointed that she didn’t find something flashier for her thirteenth birthday. Yukio, however. Yukio actually reads the packet.

“You’re adopting us?”

Her head whips around, so fast that Katsu and Ei are somewhat afraid she gave herself whiplash, to look at her dads. “REALLY?!”

“Yup. The certificates should be here in a day or two.”

She shrieks and jumps up, throwing herself into hugging them with all she has. “Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthank—”

Yukio, while less vocal, still grins widely and says “Thank you,” himself.

That night, when the house is dark and Katsu and Ei are lying in bed, Katsu speaks. “Hey, Ei?”

“Mm?”

“I think we’re gonna be just fine.”

Unseen in the dark, Eijirou grins and laces his fingers with Katsuki’s. He pulls his hand up and kisses the back of it before murmuring, “Of course we will. It’s us.”

“Mm. Go to sleep, Ei.”

“Love you, Katsu.”

“I love you too.”

MINNEAPOLIS — A day after bringing havoc to the Rocky Mountains, a powerful winter storm rolled across the Midwest on Wednesday, threatening to scramble Thanksgiving plans for millions of people during one of the busiest travel weeks of the year.

The storm, which was blamed for one death and hundreds of canceled flights, pushed east into South Dakota, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin. But the West was not free of heavy weather. A “bomb cyclone” phenomenon was expected to topple trees and knock out power in California and Oregon.

“It’s one of those things, you couldn’t make it up if you tried,” National Weather Service meteorologist Brent Hewett said of back-to-back storms forming around the holiday.

Full Coverage: Storms

The bomb cyclone — a system that brings a rapid drop in air pressure —brought snow to the mountains and wind and rain along the California and Oregon coasts. Snow and downed trees and power lines closed multiple roads in southern Oregon. Others were reduced to a single lane, the state Department of Transportation said.

The system could generate waves of up to 35 feet (11 meters), wind gusts of up to 75 mph (120 kph) and heavy snow in the mountains.

Meanwhile, parts of the Midwest expected more than a foot of wind-whipped snow. The one-two punch made travel difficult or impossible in some places. Even those who left early were confronted with icy and snow-covered roads.

By mid-morning, Dell Rapids had already received 6 inches of snow. Many areas around Sioux Falls had about 4 inches, the National Weather Service said.

Stranded travelers took shelter at hotels. In Minnesota, officials warned drivers to stay off the roads at least until the winds died down.

Children from South Dakota to Wisconsin got an early start on their holiday weekend, waking up to the news that dozens of school districts canceled classes. The University of Minnesota campus in the Twin Cities also called off classes starting late Tuesday.

The storm could dump 6 inches (15 centimeters) of snow in central and southern Minnesota. Some areas could see a foot (30.5 centimeters) or more, Hewett said.

In neighboring Wisconsin, as much as 20 inches (51 centimeters) was possible in the far northern reaches of the state.

At the Minneapolis airport, Delta Air Lines prepared by filling de-icing tanks, calling in extra flight dispatchers and assigning some of its 20 in-house meteorologists to focus on the Minneapolis forecast.

To the south, in the Milwaukee area, where the temperature climbed to 50 degrees (10 degrees Celsius), the storm brought rain and winds up to 35 mph (56 kph). Forecasters said another storm could arrive this weekend, just as people are returning from Thanksgiving.

On Tuesday, weather-related damage was widespread. Authorities on both sides of the California-Oregon border reported numerous vehicle crashes and closed roads.

At Denver’s main airport, about 10 inches (25 centimeters) of snow mixed with winds that limited visibility and canceled about 30% of the airport’s 1,600 average daily flights.

Southwest Airlines canceled about 200 flights. Spokesman Brad Hawkins said it would take a couple of days to rebook stranded passengers on other flights because there are few empty seats during the pre-Thanksgiving travel crush.

About 1,100 people spent the night at the airport, including many cadets from the Air Force Academy near Colorado Springs who either missed flights or wanted to get to the airport before road conditions deteriorated, airport spokeswoman Alex Renteria said.

Airport workers handed out blankets, diapers, baby formula, toothbrushes and toothpaste to passengers who camped out on floors and in chairs.

The storm dumped nearly 3 feet (1 meter) of snow in parts of northern Colorado and closed long stretches of highways there and in Wyoming. One person was killed, when a tractor-trailer jackknifed and was hit by two other trucks on Interstate 70 near the ski town of Vail.

Before it’s over, the storm’s effects could extend to New England, where a chance of snow was possible over the weekend, said Alex Lamers, a National Weather Service meteorologist.

“That could be a coast-to-coast storm,” he said.

In New York, the system could mean disappointment for fans of the larger-than-life balloons flown at Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Organizers prepared for the possibility of grounding the iconic balloon characters because of 40 to 50 mph (64 to 81 kph) wind gusts in the forecast. Rules adopted after several people were injured by a balloon years ago require the balloons to be flown lower or not at all if sustained winds exceed 23 mph (37 kph) and gusts exceed 34 mph (54 kph). The decision will be made on parade day.
