Chapter 72 - 71

A/N Sorry for the delay. I plan to update every other week until the completion. I want this story to be finished before Pride month because that will make it a solid 2 years since I started publishing it. Longer than any other story I've written. Anyway I hope you all enjoy! 💃🏻

It's been a few weeks since our little Aiko has come into the world and we are exhausted. We were discharged from the hospital after only a couple of days and the first two weeks all we really did was survive. Only being awake to change Aiko or feed her and ourselves that all ended this week and it feels like we are dying. We are back in class, basically just to sleep at our desks but thanks to us already knowing the material we are passing, I'm pretty sure it's the only reason we are passing though. 

I jerked at the noise that only I could actually hear and Kacchan could only make out if I was awake. I wonder if I could get Dick to wake Kacchan up if I can't? Is that possible? I stand up and stretch out the shadow I have connected to our daughter's nursery at my mom's house. I quickly change her and once I have her dressed again I carry her with me back to class. Kacchan jerked at her soft hungry cries but I'm pretty sure that the only reason they are soft right now is because I got to her so quickly. If my mom reaches her first she will cry as if the world is ending. It's like that no matter who gets to her first, if it's not Kacchan or I then she is extremely unhappy. 

"Someone is hungry," Kacchan cooed, gently nuzzling her in his half sleep. I grabbed the pillow that he left on the window sill just earlier today and I helped him prop it up so that she could nurse comfortably, thanks to Momo altering his white shirt so he could nurse her more easily. The only person stupid enough to stare had been Mineta and he doesn't look anywhere near Kacchan regardless of if he is nursing our daughter or not. I may have been a bit more than a bit protective but no one is going to sexualize this beautiful time for my husband and daughter. Nobody. 

I saw Kacchan's eyes drooping after only a few seconds but I've been reading a lot on what to expect during the first year and Kacchan getting sleepy during nursing was easily on the list, probably the very top if I'm honest. I felt so stupid for not thinking about it before but he is literally producing our baby's food, of course he would be exhausted! 

"Shh," he hushed me gently and I had to take a deep breath. Right, I can't panic in my own head because he can hear it all still. I heard him softly chuckling but he only tucked his uniform jacket around our daughter to act like a pillow and blanket now that it is starting to get cold. Sadly now I can't really see her but that's okay, she is warm and comfortable so I hand Kacchan the warm drink I brought with me from home. He has been light headed a lot since having her but I heard that it was a side effect of one of the healing quirks used on him so he is basically anemic and will get better as time goes on. 

"Mmm? Hot chocolate," he hummed his thanks before rolling his eyes at the cookies I brought. 

"Don't look at me like that. You haven't eaten the last two times she nursed," I pouted, putting the vitamin enriched sweet in front of him. He rolled his eyes again before taking one and dipping it into the hot drink and taking a bite. He raised an eyebrow at me, a soft smirk on his face that told me that he was only humoring me but that just makes me love him more. By the time Aiko was done Kacchan had eaten several of the special cookies and finished the hot chocolate and now they were both falling asleep. 

I chuckled at the sight before I carefully took Aiko and burped her. Kacchan was still dozing in a half sleep and instead of taking her back home I sat down at my seat and just held her. Her little fist had a handful of my jacket while she snoozed silently in my arms. Thankfully we aren't disturbing class, it looks like the lunch bell rang while I was changing her because only a few people were left in the room and they were silently eating their lunch. Kacchan must have been too tired to bother getting up, or he just didn't hear the bell. Normally I would think that he was waiting on Aiko and I but he was pretty groggy when I got back this time around. 

It didn't take long before our classmates started returning and the girls were quick to run over to see our little princess when they realized I was holding her. Normally I take her back to bed pretty quick because she is just a baby and they all pretty much know that when Kacchan has her he is probably feeding her, he tends to prefer to lay down and sing to her in bed instead of being out and about. I think that's probably because he's so tired though. This is probably the first time they've had the chance to actually see her now that I think about it. 

"Shh, she is sleeping," I mouthed and they all quickly stopped talking but when I didn't pull her away or try to leave they all came a little closer to see her. 

"Wow Deku," Uraraka breathed, her voice nearly silent. "She is so cute!" There was a small murmur of agreement from the rest of the girls but they all kept quiet so I just smiled at my sweet princess. 

"The most beautiful girl in the world," I hummed but when the bell rang they all returned to their seats and I guess I need to actually take her back home now. 

"Yagi, can you tell me the answer to this equation?" Aizawa Sensei asked, pretending not to notice the small bundle in my arms and I grinned, turning my attention to the board. I answered him and he went on to lecture the class while little Aiko slept in my arms. Kacchan continued to doze, or he might have fallen asleep completely but no one said anything and when Aiko woke up she let out a big yawn and stretched in my arms before opening her vibrant red eyes. 

"Look who's awake," I spoke to her softly, carefully caressing the side of her face while she looked around a bit before trying to focus back on me again. Her little mouth opened and closed silently, making faces, her little hands fumbling mine while she tried to figure out how her body worked. 

Dad appeared by my side without me noticing but I only noticed because he had shaken Kacchan awake and offered him the couch in his office while the rest of the class went to the gym. Aiko however grew tired of it or at the very least her body finished digesting and she started crying at the uncomfortable feeling. 

"Someone's ready for a diaper change," I cooed at her softly but before I could step into the shadow I felt Kacchan's hand on my shoulder. He looked exhausted but determined so I just smiled and nodded, letting him through so he could get comfortable while I rubbed our baby's belly to make sure she was done. By the time she was clean and dressed again Kacchan was propped up on the daybed that we had set up for him to comfortably nurse and I went and made him a protein shake. I had to keep waking him up for him to finish before Aiko was done nursing so by the time I had her burped and carefully swaddled in her crib Kacchan was deeply asleep wearing something much more comfortable and a thick blanket. 

"Sweet dreams," I whispered, kissing his forehead before returning to class. Dad smiled when he saw me but he didn't say anything when I got dressed and started doing some light stretches. As tired as I am I still feel cooped up, I need to let out some steam and soon and sadly Kacchan isn't anywhere close to even thinking about it so that leaves the gym. So while everyone else was doing drills on fire rescue, I started doing a routine that would be considered punishing even to my future body. I'll regret it later, without a doubt but I need something to distract me.

"Mind telling me what you were thinking when you decided to do this to yourself?" Recovery Girl asked, her voice tight and her smile forced. She isn't the least bit happy but at least she isn't whacking me with her cane yet. My best bet? Be completely honest. 

"I'm frustrated and Kacchan is still recovering. It's the only thing I could think of that would be productive," I answered her somehow without blushing or stuttering. 

She froze, her mouth part way open while she processed what I just said. Instead of saying anything she rubbed at her face as if she could massage the headache away, taking several deep breaths as she did before looking up. 

"You're telling me," she said slowly and the fact that she was hoping that she somehow misunderstood me was clear but she continued anyway. "That you spent the last two hours ripping yourself apart in the gym because you're horny?" 

"I was only doing a standard workout," I frowned at her and the next thing I know pain is radiating from my leg and I'm yelping and hopping on my other foot. 

"What you did can he considered torture and you want to call it a standard workout?" She tapped my side, much lighter than my leg but I still flinched hard. "Your classmates said they counted over a hundred hand stand push ups alone and that's not even considering the kind of hell you put your legs through!" She hissed and her cane connected again. At least she was holding back now because none of her strikes came close to hurting as much as the first one but she lectured about limits and safety and well a bunch of things really when she paused all of a sudden. 

"Is this how you were able to get your license so early? A workout like that can't be sustainable in your young body!" She was winding herself up for another lecture but I lost my balance thanks to the few bruises she just gave me and let's be honest yes that workout was torture. Every single fiber of my body is screaming for rest but instead it's being punished even more. 

"I think that's enough," Dad stopped her, catching what would have been another stinging blow to my ribs. "I've already told him that he will be going straight to bed after this." Of course Aizawa Sensei wasn't one to be left out after I physically collapsed when the bell rang and he had been lecturing dad on proper parenting which somehow resulted in him calling my mom and now Dad and I are in trouble because she was with Kacchan and he isn't amused by any of this either. 

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN YOU WERE FRUSTRATED? WHEN DID I SAY NO? HUH? DON'T YOU DARE TRY AND USE ME AS YOUR PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR NOT PAYING ATTENTION!" Of course Kacchan knows how I'll get lost in my thoughts and basically go on auto pilot. The fact that I was imagining him hot and sweaty. 

"I'm sorry," I whined but he only snapped at me more before he demanded I come home right now. 

"I should let you suffer the consequences of your actions," Recovery Girl grumbled before healing me anyway. "Do not do that again," she glared and I quickly agreed before going home and kneeling in front of Kacchan. His lecture was nothing compared to the absolute rage seething off of him and I can't really recall most of what he said at all but then again. I can absolutely not ever make him this mad at me again. He didn't even let me hold Aiko at all. When she woke up fussing. I only earned a glare and was forced back into the kneeling position by nothing else but the look in his eyes and I could only watch until he burped her and rocked her to sleep on his own. 

Right, never again. The idea of him not even letting me hold our daughter because he was so mad gutted me. 

"I'm so sorry," I mumbled and I meant it too. I will never again push myself like that unless it's an emergency. 

"If you do, you can buy a damn dog house," Kacchan cursed before grabbing me by the back of my collar and dragging me out of the room. My mom, now long since left to deal with my dad, so he took me to our room next door and started undressing. "Strip, you better not ever look down on me like that again," he warned before his pants hit the floor. "I can take anything you can-." 

"NO! The doctor said no sex for at least-," he didn't like me cutting him off and he sure as hell didn't like me telling him no. So when he forced a kiss I was left frozen and more than a little confused. 

"The doctor also said, no stress and that I needed to take it easy. They said to be careful and not push myself but they also said I didn't have to refuse either. Damn it Deku," he pushed me off balance and I landed with surprise to find myself next to our bed. "They said moderation not celibacy!" 

I caved. The sex was anything but forced and if anything at all Kacchan seemed the most relieved out of both of us by the time he passed out on my arms.
