Resting against the backrest of the passenger seat of Katsuki's car, I send Katsuki a small giggle as he rests a hand on my thigh while he drives. The male squeezing it every so often chasing little laughs and smiles from my lips as I lace my hand with his and kiss his cheek. The pair of us happily enjoying each other's company. Every now and then Katsuki would chuckle whenever I stick my tongue out at him or squeeze his hand harder than he did mine. Despite having to have his eyes on the road, Katsuki would steal little glance toward me with a smirk.

After Shoto and Katsuki decided to throw a little banter here and there for the past twenty minutes, Katsuki and I finally made our way toward Mina's house. From what Katsuki has told me, about twice a month, the 'Bakusquad' as they deem themselves according to my boyfriend have a get together. It's basically where they all catch up, play stupid games and just be themselves without having to worry about hero work or paperwork or anything else. Each month they hold it at different houses, so Katsuki hosted last month now Mina and her husband are hosting this month.

Mina's husband : Red Riot!

Clad in my Dynamight hoodie that Katsuki practically made me wear instead of my Red Riot hoodie, I lean back against the backrest of the seat and take a deep breath. Almost trying to psyche myself up for what's about to happen and trying to make sure that I won't embarrass myself this evening. Every now and then, trying to ground myself, I squeeze Katsuki's hand tighter than usual which would making him squeeze back.

Knowing that he understands how I'm feeling, it calms me. He knows that I'm anxious about meeting his friends. He knows that I am close to ripping my hair out over this whole ordeal. Not only are they pro heroes (and one of them is my all time favourite) but they're also Katsuki's friends. They all hold him really close to their hearts and they look out for him even if he doesn't want them too. They're his second family, practically. So if I make a bad first impression, their opinion of me is going to be trash mixed with fire and shit.

Mina has told me how close her husband (Red Riot) and Katsuki are. That Katsuki is someone that Red Riot holds extremely close to his heart. Someone that he trusts. Someone that he goes to for advice (even if he thinks asking for advice is beneath him). Someone that he would probably die for! Mina tells me that they have been inseparable ever since high school. She tells me that they have been like two peas in a pod ever since they met. That Katsuki and Red Riot are practically brothers at this point with how close they are. So not only is Red Riot my favourite hero, he's also my biggest critic so I have to make a good impression.

I just hope they all like me...

Noticing my anxious behaviour, Katsuki squeezes my hand to pull me out of my head making me look toward hi NBC and clear my throat gently. A weak smile plays on my lips before I look down at my lap and take a deep breath. My eyes closing as I try to hype myself up. Telling myself that I can do this. That I don't need to worry about them all because I know that I make Katsuki happy. Knowing that I can't do anything wrong because I'm constantly making sure that Katsuki is happy despite him reassuring me that he'll never be mad at me unless I give him a real legitimate reason for him to get mad.

When Katsuki turns the car into the driveway to park up, my hand squeezes his incredibly tightly making him chuckle. As the ignition turns off, my breath gets quicker. My chest tightening as I see everyone through the front window all smiling and laughing between each other. My throat closing up as I look back down at my lap and dig my nails in my palms. However, before I can actually do that, Katsuki takes my hands into his and kisses each knuckle making me blush and clear my throat.

"Deep breaths," Katsuki instructs gently making me nod and take a deep breath. A small smile on his lips as he guides me through some breathing exercises before kissing my nose, "They will love you and you have Mina and Kyoka there too so you're not surrounded by people you don't know,"

"I — I know... I just..." I mumble gently tucking a strand of hair behind my ear as I fiddle with the strings of my personalised Dynamight hoodie with a weak sigh, "I don't want them to not like me... I just... I don't know,"

"Hey, it's okay," He reassures me before getting out of the car and walking toward my side. He opens up the door and kneels in front of me while pressing a kiss to my forehead, "Look, I know they will like you because this is the first time I've ever bought a girl to one of these. You'll be fine, you have me by your side,"

"You think so?" I ask softly, smiling as he presses his lips against mine. A giggle leaving my lips as I return the kiss and wrap my arms around his neck as he pulls me to stand up, "I just don't want to make a bad impression,"

"You won't. You're literally the sweetest girl I know," He tells me as he shuts the passenger door after grabbing a bag full of snacks and other things, "Look, if you get too overwhelmed and you need a breather, you tell me. Send me a text, I'll leave my phone on vibrate and I'll have it on hand and we can go outside for a moment. Okay?"

"Yeah, that sounds good," I reply gently, giggling as he peppers kisses all over my neck and playfully nips at the skin between my neck and shoulders. My eyes widening slightly as I find three pairs of eyes staring at us with big grins plastered across their faces, "I think we should go in, your friends are staring through the window,"

"What?!" He yells, turning around abruptly and gritting his teeth toward his three friends who all burst into laughter and fall back (on what I'm assuming is a couch) as Katsuki stalks toward the door and pushes the door open, "You perverts! What the fuck!"

"Dude! You were literally feeling her up in the driveway, you may as well have fucked," The electric blonde speaks up through wheezes of laughter while he leans against his black haired friend who's doubled over laughing, "If you wanted privacy, get a fucking room!"

"Hey! Can you guys not yell, I'm trying to get Kokoa to sleep and —" Mina pipes up walking into the room with her beautiful baby girl in her arms before stopping in her tracks and squealing. The girl completely ignoring her first statement, "(Y/n)! Hey! Eiji, that's (Y/n)! She's the girl I told you about babysitting Kokoa for us when we go out,"

"It's nice to meet you," Eijiro (a.k.a Red Riot!) speaks up after wiping his eyes from laughter and walking toward me. As he shakes my head, my brain almost short circuits as I send him a nervous smile and nod, "I'm Eijiro Kirishima but you can call me Eijiro. That's Denki and Hanta and you already know Mina and Kyoka,"

"H — hi," I squeak gently, leaning into Katsuki's side and blushing as he wraps an arm around my waist to give me a reassuring squeeze gently, "It's so nice to meet you all,"

"Why don't you go in the kitchen with the ladies, (Y/n)?" Katsuki asks gently, kissing my cheek as he sends me a reassuring smile when I look up at him, "Maybe you can get some cuddles in with Kokoa,"

Nodding gently, I peck his lips gently before following Mina into the kitchen. The pinkette giggling as she shuts the kitchen door and winks toward Kyoka who waves toward me as she munches away on some chocolate. Feeling a lot more comfortable around the girls, I slide into one of the stools nearby the island and run a hand through my hair.

Kyoka, her baby bump slowly beginning to show now due to being around five months pregnant now, sits clad in a cute maternity dress that fitted her tremendously. The short haired female resting a soft hand over her bump as she takes a deep breath and offers me some chocolate to which I shake my head and let her eat the rest of her chocolate while Mina rocks her baby girl.

"So how are you, (Y/n)?" Mina asks as she kisses her daughter's forehead and sits down beside me as she gently bounces her in her arms to try and rock her to sleep, "How is it being Katsuki's girlfriend now?"

"Oh; you're dating now?" Kyoka asks happily as I nod tucking a strand of hair behind my ear before giggling as Mina unloads her baby onto my arms to let me cuddle with Kokoa, "That's great, I bet it's weird,"

"It's going great... Katsuki's amazing," I explain nervously as I rock Kokoa in my arms and watch as she coos gently and nuzzles into my warmth, "We've been official since two weeks ago but we've been seeing each other for a month or so,"

"Awww," Mina hums before pushing to her feet and grabbing her phone to check something while I hold Kokoa close, "We have takeout tonight, if that's okay (Y/n). It's just some pizza, fried chicken, mozzarella sticks, onion rings, fries and some dips, that's okay?"

"That's perfectly fine, I'll eat anything," I reply, giggling as the kitchen door opens and Red Riot walks in to hug his wife from behind and kiss her cheek, "I think Katsuki bought some snacks and stuff,"

"Yeah, Denki's already pigging out," Eijiro explains making Mina snort and shake her head. The male pulls away and watches as I handle his daughter gently, a faint smile on his lips before he sits beside me and rests his elbow against the island, "I do hope Mina didn't just load her onto you because you're a babysitter,"

"It's fine, really," I tell him, trying not to collapse into a pile of goo, as I push to my feet and walk into the living room with Eijiro close behind, "She's really cute,"

"She gets it from her mom," Eijiro adds making Mina giggle from the kitchen and follow us into the living room with Kyoka close behind. As Eijiro and Mina snuggle up on a couch, I sit beside Katsuki and lean against him, "You can put her in the Moses basket if you want,"

"Here, I'll take her," Katsuki hums, taking Kokoa gently from my arms and peppering kisses all over her tiny face with a small chuckle before setting her down in the Moses basket and tucking her in. The blonde kissing my cheek as we snuggle back into each other, "You like her hoodie? I designed it myself,"

"Damn, he's already claiming her," Denki (a.k.a Chargebolt) mutters making Hanta (a.k.a Cellophane) snort under his breath and choke on some of the candy he's digging into, "Guess she's off limits, Hanta!"

"Well I did originally have a Red Riot hoodie on," I add making Katsuki narrow his eyes toward me while Eijiro grins toward his friend with a small laugh, "But he wouldn't let me come over with it,"

"Yeah, you're her favourite hero, Eiji," Mina pipes up making me snort while Eijiro does a little cheer. Beside me, Katsuki tightens his grip on my side before relaxing as I rest my hand over his and allow my quirk to seep into his bloodstream and relax him, "Anyhoo~ We have twenty minutes to kill before the food arrives. Anyone have any ideas on what to do while we wait?"

"Spin the —"

"No," Katsuki immediately cuts him off making me giggle and snuggle into his side while Denki whines like a puppy. The electric blonde burying his face into his wife's leg making her roll her eyes and flick him, "We're all taken and we aren't in college or high school anymore,"

"Well your girlfriends a college student," Denki grumbles with a small pout, yelling out at Katsuki kicks his side, "Ow! I'm just stating a fact! All college girls are like..."

"Like what?" I ask arching a brow toward the electric blonde who bites his lip and rubs the back of his head with a small hum, "We don't just play horny games and have college parties every weekend. It's not like the movies, believe me,"

"Well there goes my fantasy," Denki grumbles making me roll my eyes playfully and lean into Katsuki. Denki's eyes shimmering with relaxation, "I know! Seven min —"

"No," Katsuki cuts him off again, a snort leaving my lips this time as Denki pouts and hits his fists against the floor like a toddler, "Again, we're not in high school and we're all taken,"

"Chubby bunny!" Denki exclaims pointing toward the bowl full to the brim of marshmallows with a small grin before laughing as Kyoka turns her nose up at the mention of the dreaded game, "What? It'll be fun!"

"Why don't we get to know our newest addition?" Hanta offers with a smile as he looks toward me. My eyes sliding toward my boyfriend who sends me a reassuring smile and kisses my cheek, "We have to get to know the woman who's gotten our feral child wrapped around her finger,"

"Feral?!" Katsuki yells in horror, glaring toward Hanta before cracking his knuckles and pushing to his feet, "I'll show you fucking feral!"

Before Hanta can say anything, he rushes out of the living room with Katsuki hot on his heels. Rolling my eyes at my boyfriends behaviour, I grab a handful of chips from the bowl and chomp down on them with a smile. My eyes watching as Hanta and Katsuki run around the front with Hanta shrieking and dodging the explosions that Katsuki throws at him with a yell.

"Chubby bunny then?" Eijiro asks, tilting his head as he offers Denki the bowl who immediately begins to stuff his face with the marshmallows, "You'll grow to realise, (Y/n), that we're pretty crazy,"

"The good crazy," Kyoka adds and laughs as Denki's cheeks slowly begin to fill out with the marshmallows and begins to look like a chipmunk. Beside him, Eijiro is supplying him with the marshmallows, "You look ridiculous Denks,"

"Where are the bowls?" I ask gently, catching Mina's attention as she cottons onto what I'm implying before nodding, "Just in case Denki needs to spit them out,"

"Bottom cupboard by the oven," Mina explains gently with a giggle, laughing as Denki can't even close his mouth now with so many marshmallows in his mouth. It's a wonder he's keeping them in, I would have gagged and thrown them up if it were me, "Thank you (Y/n),"

Sending her a soft smile, I walk toward the kitchen and grab a couple of bowls. After making sure that the bowl is big enough to catch the marshmallows that could potentially be leaving Denki's mouth like a waterfall, I walk back into the living room. Smiling toward the blonde, I slide the bowl in his lap and then sit back down on the couch to relax.

As I sip at my drink, my eyes widen as my water has something in the bottom of it, pulling my drink away I assess it and gawk at a giggling Mina who sticks her tongue out. A laugh leaving my lips as I stare at my drink. Sitting at the bottom of my water, floating around like a little hitchhiker in my water, is a couple of jellybeans alongside some gummy bears that seem to slowly get bigger over time.

"Welcome to the Bakusqaud, (Y/n)," Mina cheers, clapping her hands before groaning as an explosion rips across the back of the house. The girl pushes to her feet and heads toward the back door with me in tow ready to calm Bakugo down, "Hanta! Just play dead!"

In the back garden, Hanta and Katsuki were still chasing each other. Katsuki gritting his teeth as he tackles Hanta to the ground and rolls across the grass as Hanta shrieks. The pair of them wrestling across the green plush grass with groans and yells. It seemed harmless enough but I knew that it needed to stop before Katsuki took it one touch too far. Katsuki punching and kicking where he can while Hanta desperately tries to fend him off with a big grin on his lips.

Cursing under my breath, I rush toward them ignoring Mina yelling out for me to stay back and kneel by the pair of them. Slowly, I rest my palm across the expanse of his back and close my eyes. Allowing my quirk to see into his bloodstream quicker than usual making Katsuki slowly become weaker. Sero immediately pushes him off and laughs running back into the house before hissing in pain as Mina hits him upside the head. Holding my finger up to give Katsuki and I a second, I watch as Mina walks in scolding Hanta.

Turning my attention back to my boyfriend, I sit beside his laying form as he leans into my hand and takes a deep breath. A small groan leaving his lips as he sits up and looks up at me with a small frown. The male runs his fingers through his flaxen hair before sighing and rubbing the bridge of his nose.

"Are you okay?" I ask, rubbing his arm and letting my soothing endorphins begin to slow their approach toward him so he doesn't fall asleep, "Katsuki, he was just having a little laugh... is something going on? Have you eaten today?"

"Stressed... and... maybe," he mumbles as he rests his head against my chest and nestles himself against me as I kiss his forehead and rub his arm, "Plus he kept making comments,"

"Good thing food is on its way, hm?" I coo gently, pushing to my feet as Katsuki stands up before I wrap my arms around him and giggle toward him, "If you need to take a step back from work I'm sure everyone will understand... Kat, your mental health is important too,"

"I'll think about," he replies half heartedly, his own way of telling that he will do it but not actually admitting that he will as we slowly make our way toward house, "Sorry..."

"I'm not the one you should apologise too but I forgive you," I tell him, patting his cheek before turning around and showing him the back of my hoodie making him chuckle and hug me from behind, "Baby Face is here,"

"God you're amazing... not as amazing as me but you're close," he hums making me snort and lean back into him as the doorbell chimes. The pair of us sharing a soft yet deep kiss as I wrap my arms around the arms wrapped around my front, "Wanna have a night in next week? I found a recipe that I think you'll love,"

"That sounds amazing, Kat," I hum gently, looking up at him as his ruby irises lock onto my own (e/c) eyes before smiling. The pair of us them walk back into the living room as Mina tells us the food arrives, "This smells so good,"

"Oh my god," Denki hums, watching as Katsuki sits down on the couch and grabs a plate to pile it up with food. The whole room stares at Katsuki as he grabs a couple of chicken pieces, a handful of fries and some mozzarella sticks for me to chow down on, "Who are you and what have you done with Katsuki?"

"She's tamed the beast..." Hanta mumbles looking toward Denki who snorts and grins as he chomps on a slice of pizza, "Show us your ways, oh great (Y/n),"

"A magician never reveals her secrets," I tell him while tapping the side of my nose before swallowing down a mouthful of food, "I have my own ways,"

"So you're a college student," Eijiro points out, patting Mina's side as she sticks her tongue out and steals his fries, "What are you studying? Are you in Katsuki's class?"

"Oh! No! Nothing like that!" I immediately say, almost cringing at the idea of Katsuki being my teacher (that would be weird!) before taking a deep breath, "I study food and catering, I'm in my final year of college,"

"But you took down a villain like it was second nature," Denki points out making me turn my attention toward him as I clear my throat, "Are you like? A vigilante or something?"

"No... uh... I used to study at U.A. High... I uh... I was in the hero course in my first year," I explain, rubbing the back of my neck as they all gawk at me with wide eyes, "My home room teacher taught me hand to hand combat after uh... an incident... and I do have a hero license that I reapply for every five years,"

"Woah," Hanta exclaims impressed before grinning toward Katsuki to make another jab, "So like, Katsuki likes you because you can kick his ass?"

"Soy Sauce Face, I'm going to shove my foot up your ass so far you'll taste leather,"...

"You're supposed to talk dirty to your girlfriend not me, dude,"...

This is going to be a long night...
