34.) Moms Surprise

Katsuki walks out of the bathroom and wraps his arms around me with a little squeeze. "Smells great in here." I let myself lean into his embrace for a moment before stirring the pasta sauce, "Yes it does, thanks to your amazing chopping skills it's almost done too. I would have needed three times the amount of time it took you." He kisses me on top of the head and buries his face into my hair. "I like doing the dicing, it's always been my favorite part. What do you need me to do right now though?" "Could you open the wine to let it breath, everyone should be arriving soon." He hums before kissing my neck and moving to grab the corkscrew from the drawer and opening two of the bottles of merlot sitting on the counter, then pulls out six wine glasses sitting them on the counter next to it. "Baby, that's one too many." He shakes his head. "In case one breaks or something." I hum opening the oven and removing the breadsticks sitting them down on a trivet then checking the noodles for doneness. A knock hits the door and Katsuki sets down the stem markers he was placing on the glasses to answer it, the sound of his parents voices come through the door as soon as it's open. He helps them in taking their sweaters and hanging them then offering the guest slippers I'd picked up. "Hello Y/N, it's nice to see you again, this time under much better circumstances." She glares at Katsuki and he just rolls his eyes calling her a hag under his breath. "Hello Mr. and Mr. Bakugo. It's good to see you both." They follow Katsuki to the edge of the kitchen and he pours them both a glass of wine before marking the other glasses then pours two more glasses and hands me one pushing me aside to drain the noodles. "It smells very lovely Y/N." I give the timid man a smile. "Thank you, but Katsuki did a lot of the work." They nod understanding and another knock hits the door. "Excuse me a moment."

I open the door and giggle at my moms uncommonly large smile. "Mom, it's so good to see you again." When I try to get her to enter my apartment she moves away from me, Amanda popping out of nowhere, the two of them yelling "Surprise!" in perfect unison. "OH my gosh! Amanda!" I hug her tight and allow myself to take in her flowery scent, and suddenly get a feeling of being out of place. In that moment it occurs to me, this is where I belong now, here in Musutafu with Katsuki, not back in California with mom and Amanda, but I'm still so happy to see her. "I can't believe you're here," I pull her into the apartment mom following and stopping to take off her shoes. "It's a good surprise then huh punkin?" I hug mom as Amanda removes her shoes before giving them both slippers, suddenly understanding why Katsuki kept insisting I plan extra everything. When we walk into the kitchen he's leaning against the counter and Amanda stops in her tracks, an audible gulp coming from her as she finally sees him in person. "Amanda this is Katsuki." They shake hands and she tries and fails to move her eyes away from his muscular chest, a giggle escaping me from amusement. "It's nice to meet you, hello again Ms. L/N. These are my parents Masaru and Mitsuki." My mom shakes hands with Mr. Bakugo before Mrs. Bakugo pulls her into a tight hug. "I love your daughter, she's such a delight. I tell Katsuki all the time he'd better not mess this up." Katsuki grumbles at his mother while Amanda seems to have a thought occur to her. "Wait, I know it's rude to call someone by their first names in Japan when you only just met them, but um… you're all three Bakugo." I wrap my arm around her with a soft chuckle. "Mr. and Mrs. Bakugo work just fine for his parents. Katsuki baby, what do you want to do here?" He thinks for a moment. "Well only my parents and Teddy Bear call me Katsuki, so Kacchan I guess. Used to it no thanks to Deku."

Bakugos POV

Now that Ms. L/N is here I'm actually feeling kind of nervous. The hag keeps trying to help me get a moment alone with her to talk, but something else always ruins it. I want to be discreet, Y/N is too damn perceptive, she may figure everything out if I just straight out ask to speak to her mom alone. It's all I can think about though, seeing Hawks like that, happy with his family. I don't know if I want kids right now, but to marry her. I want that so bad I can taste it. If Ms. L/N rejects me I may die a little inside. I know I only met her once before this, but it's not like I haven't spoken to her on the phone before, I even helped her with preparing everything for Amanda to come stay here. No, it'll be fine, all I have to do is let her see how much Y/N means to me, any mother would want their daughter to be with a man willing to do anything for them. I'd die before I let anything happen to her. I know she was kidnapped that one time, but I've since taken more precautions since then, turning on the location for her phone, making sure I know what her daily schedule is. Being here in Musutafu is helpful as well, even more so now that the world saw us on TV together, I didn't expect our relationship to boost my approval ratings, but I'm glad it made it to where people know her face now too. Especially here in my hometown, at least three times a day I'll run into someone who wants to tell me a story about spotting her and how cute of a couple we are. Less and less men look at her, at least while I'm there, knowing she's taken. If anyone tried to take her again more people would notice, there would be more info, even if she dropped her phone. Y/N excuses herself to the bathroom and mom suddenly tells dad to get something from the car, no doubt it's not even in there, then she pulls Amanda along to the balcony. It's not much time, but it's better than nothing.

"Ms. L/N, I love Y/N with all that I am, I want to spend my life making her as happy as she makes me, please, can I ask your daughter to be my bride?" She looks at me with surprise on her face, tears stating to form in her eyes. Just then Teddy Bear exits the bathroom leaving me with no answer. I give her a look I hope she realizes means I want this to be between us but she gives no indication. Teddy Bear sits on my lap wrapping an arm around me then laying her head on top of mine letting out one of her happy hums, Ms. L/N looking on with a smile on her face, please let that mean she'll say yes. Dad cowers as he tells mom he couldn't find what she wanted and is surprised when she doesn't care, Amanda sitting on the couch with a yawn stretching her arms above her head. Ms. L/N pulls out her phone and sends a message, Amandas phone going off and her squealing when she reads the contents, well she didn't keep it between us, but at least she isn't telling Y/N. Ms. L/N's phone goes off and she opens it a smile on her face then sends another message. When my phone goes off it makes Teddy Bear jump a little in my lap. "Sorry, just let me check this real quick in case it's work stuff." She easily accepts my excuse and moves to get a little more wine. I take a deep breath pulling my phone from my pocket and open my text message, the oxygen leaving my fucking lungs as soon as I read it. 'Amanda and I say go for it, she loves you." I lean forward staring at the words on the screen until Ms. L/N slaps my phone away, when I look up to react Y/N is standing over me looking at her mom oddly. "A mosquito, most have come in from the balcony." I quickly pick up my phone and delete the message while she's still distracted by her mom. "Everything ok Katsuki?" "Yeah, course Teddy Bear."
