"Thank you so much Mr. and Mrs. Bakugou the dress is beautiful!" Uraraka said.
The two couple came back to the Bakugou house when they heard news that their dress and suit was ready to be picked up.
"Ah don't worry about it sweetie. It was nothing. Oh don't forget don't show my shit son your dress yet. Keep it in the bag. Okay. " Matsuki smirked.
The father pushed up his glasses with the same smirk.
Bakugou was awe fully quiet.
"Did you sneak a peek at your suit yet?" Uraraka asked.
"Don't need to." He said.
Uraraka noticed that ever since he dropped her off at the dorms after doing their measurements with his parents at their house. He has been quiet. His eyes weren't scrunched up as they always were. More like a sad soft glare.
The parents knew that their son went to talk with Uraraka's parents after meeting with them a couple days ago.
Uraraka's phone began ringing.
"Oh sorry. I really should take this call. I think I step outside for a bit." She apologized.
Masaru just gave her the thumbs up and she smiled.
"I'll be back!" Uraraka said.
The parents walked toward their son. Bakugou didn't even notice it. It was like he was staring into space. Lost in thought.
Masaru put his hand on Katsuki's shoulder and Bakugou automatically sat down on the couch. He bit his lip. Almost like he was trying to hide his hidden feelings.
"Son... how did it go with the talk with her parents." Masaru quietly asked.
Bakugou's shoulders tensed, but he kept quiet.
His parents knew something happened to their son that day. But was unsure how to get him to open up.
Masaru rubbed Katsuki's back and Matsuki placed her hand on his leg.
Their sons arms began to shake a bit.
"It ... didn't fucking go well." Katsuki said.
"They said no to you?" The mom asked.
After a grief silence, their son broke.
"Yeah, they said no for me to marry their daughter." He choked.
"What were their reason?" The dad asked.
The Bakugou's heard the door open and quickly made it seem like nothing happened.
"Um am not disturbing anything am I?" Uraraka asked.
"No no we were just talking about when this kid is going to do his chores around the house." Matsuki lied.
"Oh okay. Will I unfortunately have to go. My parents need me home ASAP. Am not to sure why though." Uraraka said.
"I'll walk you there." Katsuki offered. He walked to her.
"Oh no it's alright Katsuki. I think I can manage the walk." She smiled.
She looked up to him and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"You should chill out here okay. I'll text you when am back at the dorms. Bye I love you." She said.
She gave a bye wave to his parents and left.
Katsuki still glared at the door.
"She doesn't know huh?" Matsuki asked.
"No." He said.
"Tell us son. What did they say to you?" Masaru asked.
Katsuki turned to see his parents.
This was not their brat they knew. It was their vulnerable son. Who looked like he was going to brake soon. Not an angry outburst. But a stream of small tears coming out from the corner of his eyes. In which he violently rubbed off with the sleeves of his shirt.
"They said." He stopped.
~~~ flashback to Uraraka's house~~~
"Good evening as well." Bakugou accidentally choked.
The parents said to come inside the house and he did so.
They sat down in the living room. Bakugou had the pleasure (not) to be sitting right in front of the dad.
After a brief silence Bakugou spoke.
"The reason I am here is to ask for your daughters hand in marriage." He said.
The parents were taken back and looked at each other. The mom looked happy, but the dad gave him a stern look.
"We have been dating since freshman year. And am in love with her." He said.
"I don't want this relationship to be just a high school thing. I want to propose when we become heroes. I support her becoming a hero and her personal goals in the future." He added.
He was staring at her parents, red bold eyes filled with determination.
"Young man. I can see that you love Ochako very much. But there is a few things we, as her parents, are not too sure about." Uraraka's dad said.
"What things?" Bakugou responded. His palms started to sweat. He was actually nervous.
"Well I understand that you are the reason why Ochako found and developed her own fire. She has spirit. But the thing is dating in high school is completely different than being married and having professions. Am afraid that you have to much pride in your ego. There has been word ever since the sports festival all those years ago that you had villainous intents. Can you imagine what kind of problems your personality can bring to you and Ochako when your married. The media and press would be all up in your business and am not too sure that you will be with Uraraka a lot. Pro heroes don't really have that much of a personal life you know." The dad said.
"Yes but that doesn't mean-" Bakugou's words were interrupted.
"Isn't that the reason why you broke up with our daughter in the first place? Look when my wife and I first met you, we couldn't believe who we saw in the sports festival was the young caring man our daughter brought home. But am worried that you are only with our daughter because it makes you feel good. You will be saving people and your goals to be the best, could interfere with your marriage. You two will probably have different hours and probably we working for different hero agencies. What if my daughter gets lonely? Or vise versa? What will you two do for peace can get into your minds after a long dangerous day defeating villains." The dad said.
"So you're implying that we could be in a situation in which we would not see each other huh? You're saying that since we risk our lives everyday, that a little loneliness can make us do something awful to ruin our marriage. So cheating? That's what you're saying. We will get so lonely that we find other people to fill in the void. Right? Will I say bullshit! I am not stupid enough to cheat on her." Bakugou replies.
"Am not saying you will or not. Young man we did some research. We noticed how you've been a target for the villains a lot in the past. That your quirk and your character can be categorized as a villain. Past media had suggested it." The father said. He stood up from the couch.
Bakugou stood up as well.
"That's because we are enrolled to the most famous hero academy! Media and press snuff their noses into everything and make up all sorts of shit. Just so they can stir in some drama. Am not a villain. I don't intend to join the villains." He said.
"Honey please stop this. This young man has treated Ochako well and has a bright future ahead of him. Ochako loves him a lot." The mom said.
"Honey it's because am her father that sometimes I have to make the right decisions, even if she doesn't think that's what is the best for her." The dad said.
"So you are saying am not what's best for her? So first time impressions on meeting me was fine? But after researching some biased articles and gossips about me on the internet, now you think am not the guy for your daughter huh?" Bakugou's hair shadowed his eyes. He was hurt. But he wasn't going to show it to them.
"Hon we can base everything off of the internet. We know the real life him, can't we hear him out." The mom said.
"Yes we know the real him. But these days social media can make or brake a person. And from what I saw on the press can intentionally one day bring bad luck to him, to them if they are married." The dad said.
"I won't ever put her through any tough situations! Am not an animal or villain." Bakugou rose his voice.
"Okay think about this young man, say when you become a hero, you don't behave like a hero. You know that and the media knows that. Now even though you claim to not be a villain, people can see otherwise. You can end up destroying towns and hurting common people by the destructiveness of your explosion quirk. You may have not meant to do so much damage or hurt anyone, but people can easily point fingers on who to blame. You can put yourself in a position that you will be locked up in prison or worst, people actually believing that you are a villain. Can deem you a threat to society and question those close to you. For this instance it will be Ochako. They can question her about you, media can make the people turn against her because of you, or you can be the reason why she would be locked up, because some could believe that she is working with a secret concealed undercover villain." The dad almost yelled.
"Again am not saying this could happen. But these days media can do the impossible. It can ruin a person. Not always make them famous." He glared at Bakugou.
"I don't think Bakugou will ever be that kind of person. Our daughter chose him to date. If she trusts him, then we should too!" The mom said to her husband.
"Ochako is a kind sweet girl. Who laughs and smiles over everything. As much as I love our daughter. I do not think she believes in the right guy." Mr. Uraraka said.
"So whatever I saw won't change your mind. I am top of the class at UA hero course. I've changed my way of fighting cold heartedly. I grew to open myself to another person. I can cooperate with a team now. Uraraka changed me for the better dammit. Am not the violent murder hungry guy I used to be. I only want her to have a good future. Does all of my progress really not mean anything to you? Because media is the god of this earth and makes all the damn judgements here." Bakugou tried to reason with the dad.
The mom looked at Bakugou. She looked at him like she believed in his words and felt bad that her husband thought otherwise.
"Am sorry Young man. But I don't see a happy ending for my daughter." He said.
Bakugou's hands began to tremble. He walked to the door and opened it.
He quietly said have a good day and left.
~~~present time at his parents house~~~
"Really so they think that the media will make you look like a villain to the whole world and that eventually it can ruin you and Ochako. That is ridiculous! What matters in this life is personal experiences with the actual person not gossip! I know that you have changed a lot since dating Uraraka and I believe you will make her happy!" Matsuki said.
"Matsuki please." Her husband said.
She then looked at her son to see him. He looked broken.
"Katsuki. Don't give up. Talk with her father again. Keep showing him that you aren't the person media put you out to be!" The mom encouraged.
"He doesn't fucking like me. The mom didn't have a problem with me. It's that guy. Now that I think about it that's probably the fucking reason why he called Ochako. To tell her to fucking go there for he can tell her to get rid of a villain like me." Katsuki said. He was grinding his teeth and fought tears.
His parents didn't know what to say to their son.
The mom missed her confident son. She didn't know the broken down teen who sat between her husband and her.
So she chose to talk to her son. The only way she knew how to.
"Look here you weakass punk." She said.
The husband looked at his wife and gave her the "not now" look.
Bakugou stopped fighting his tears and looked at his mom with a death glare.
"What the fuck did you say? Some fuckin mom you are. I finally open up to you and you fucking wanna fight!" Bakugou yelled.
"There is my punk. Look here. Her dad said no. So what. What happened to you being the best at anything you do? Don't tell me you are all bark and no bite!" She said.
"If you want a girl like Ochako then go after her hand. Convince her dad and show him the real you. Actions speak louder than fucking weak ass tears. If you can't get through to her dad right now. Then think about what she wants. If she really loved you then she will marry you. She will say yes. When you two are engaged or married. You can show her dad that you are here and you are here to stay by her. Make her happy, give her the happy future she deserves... with you. I don't care how you do it. Rather you show him how much good of a boyfriend, fiancé, or husband you are to his daughter, show him that you are the right man for her. Doesn't matter your title with her. Show him you." The mom yelled.
Bakugou looked at his mom. He felt like himself. For once he wasn't angry at her for yelling at him. He stared at her with determination.
"Yeah will I didn't fucking need you to tell me any of that shit. I am the best. I will have the best. I will show him that I am the perfect guy for her. She doesn't need any other loser when she has the best. I'll fucking confront him again. I won't take no for an answer this time. Am not a weakass bitch." Bakugou said. His confidence was back.
All thanks to his mothers and his fights.
The dad just smiled. He knew his wife cheered their son up... in her own way.
"Here take her dress and your suit and get the fuck out." The mom said. As she gave her son the things.
He grabbed the stuff and stomped to the front door.
"Oh yeah will I didn't want to fucking me here any ways." He opened the door.
As he was about to leave he heard his mother yell.
"Hey you punk I forgot to tell you. The ring is a perfect match for her finger. It will fit perfectly. We checked by her finger size." The mom yelled.
Katsuki gave a small smirk.
"That's all the good news I need to know to keep fighting for her. The ring is the fucking perfect fit for my future wife." He said as he slammed the door.
The parents looked at each other and smiled.
They had their son back.
