"Am I pulling too hard?"
The greenette shook her head in delight as the warm air blew onto her hair.
Katsuki forced himself to hold back when they were in the bathroom as he remembered that his wife was supposed to be resting, not having a make-out session in the bath tub. Now he was gently drying her hair and trying to stay focused on not ravaging her now that they were washed and ready for bed.
He turned the hair dryer off and finished brushing her hair that now became frizzy and fluffy. While he was mesmerized by her soft hair, he just happened to look up and at the windows to see the clouds were moving fast.
"It seems it might rain later today, so make sure she takes her medicine before the rain starts." That's what Emra told him before she left.
He got up from the bed, put the hair dryer away and then went to her nightstand, grabbed her medicine and handed it to her.
"Your cousin said it's gonna rain later, so take it now before I end up forcing you to take it." Katsuki stated. Izuku nodded as she took the small bottle from his hand, drank the medicine and then she looked back up at him.
"What're you staring at?"
"What happened to the kids?"
"I put them to bed, why else would I be bothering you?" Katsuki answered.
"Oh, I see."
'Yup, she's tired.'
"C'mon, let's just go to sleep." Katsuki sighed as he climbed back onto the bed and pulled the covers over himself.
"Hm? You're staying here?" Izuku asked.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I? Don't tell me you're gonna make me sleep on the couch tonight?"
"Ah- no no! T-That's not what I meant! I just- Good night!" she stuttered and then pulled the covers over herself and faced the over way and straight to sleep.
'Did she get used to me sleeping on the couch or when I wasn't home? Arg- not gonna let it bother me.'
"'Night." he muttered and went to sleep.
Hours went by and the sound of pounding thunder and crashing lightning came to the blond's ears which caused him to wake up. He sat up and looked at the window to see the rain was pouring down outside.
'Does it have to be that loud? Huh?'
Just as he finished looking out the window, he looked down at the bed to see that the greenette wasn't under the covers.
"Wha- Deku? Where is she?" he muttered.
He was about to get up from the bed and walk around the house to look for her, that is until he heard a very soft–almost subtle–meow from somewhere. He pulled up the covers but there was nothing there, but once he looked at the pillow where the greenette usually sleeps, that was where he found a fluffy Dark Green cat.
He lifted the pillow to see the little cat's face and could tell it was her once he saw the cat's big and Emerald Green eyes.
"Deku?"
Meow.
The cat made direct eye contact with him and then jumped out from under the pillow and went straight into the blond's chest.
"Deku..."
He lifted his hands up to hold the cat and noticed how much she was shivering, but she wasn't shivering from feeling cold, she was shivering because she was scared.
"You're still scared of the lightning, huh?"
Meow.
Though he couldn't understand the cat, he knew what she meant and he started petting her soft fur and comforting her.
Another lightning strike hit and the sound scared the little cat so much that she dug her claws straight into the blond's shirt. Katsuki had to clench his teeth to not make a sound and scare the cat since her claws were so sharp.
"You still get nightmares when it rains, don't you?"
Meow.
"Don't worry, Izuku, you're not gonna get nightmares anymore, not when I'm here." he hummed as he petted her little head.
"I'll protect you, Izuku."
Just hearing his soft and gentle voice made the cat poof right in front of him and he felt a lot of weight hit him, but once he opened his eyes, the cat turned back into Izuku and she hugged him tightly.
"Thank you, Kacchan, I already feel a lot safer." she stated as she smiled and hugged him tighter.
It'd been a while for him since the last time he had to comfort the greenette because of a heavy rainstorm, but since he's comforting her now, he knew this was what might've helped them get closer like they were in the past.
"Let's go back to sleep, so just hold me if you get scared." Katsuki said softly as he pulled the covers back over them and they lied back down.
He looked at her in his arms and her shivering seemed to fade away and her expression wasn't filled with fear anymore. He continued to pet her hair to make sure that she was distracted from the noises outside and it seemed to work as she soon made the sound of small–but cute–snores.
Katsuki tried to hold in his laughter from the little snores, but he felt his chest warm and fuzzy knowing that she felt safe in his arms.
Just as he was about to fall asleep though, the sound of the bedroom door opened and all he could hear was;
"Papa? Mama?"
Katsuki lifted his head off his pillow and looked up to see little Katsuma at the door and tears were forming in his eyes.
"What's wrong, why're you crying?" Katsuki asked.
"It's scary outside, and I had a really scary dream, papa." Katsuma whimpered as he rubbed his little eyes.
'Didn't think he'd be scared of lightning too, but I've got no choice.'
"C'mon, get up here." Katsuki sighed as he lifted up the covers and the little blond trotted up to the bed and climbed right in.
He climbed in between his parents and cradled up next to Izuku's chest.
'This doesn't feel right though.' Katsuki thought and then pulled the covers off of him and got up from the bed.
"Papa, where are you going?"
"Stay here with your mom, I'm gonna get your brother and sister." he answered and left the room to grab the twins.
As he gently and carefully carried the twins in his arms, he walked back up the stairs and went back to the bedroom to see that both Izuku and Katsuma were already fast asleep. He climbed back into the bed, rested Izuki onto his shoulder and Izumu onto his stomach and then pulled the covers back onto him.
He took one last look at the situation and smiled as he knew this was a lot better than before.
'Much better.' he thought as he eventually snoozed off to sleep for the night as well. No one woke up for the rest of the night.
A new day was upon them and the Sun peeked out from the moving clouds causing the greenette to wake up from the bright light.
'The storm's gone?' She thought as she looked out the window, but once she turned to look at the bed, she was surely wide awake now.
The sight of her three kids sleeping on her husband and all of them still fast asleep was a sight she'd never thought she'd see.
'When... When did the kids get here? Was it after I went back to sleep? This is... so cute!!! I should take a picture and send it to mom!' She thought as she immediately grabbed her phone and took several pictures in different angles to make sure this actually happened.
'Hmph, looks like we have a new photo to add to the scrapbook. Hm?'
She happened to look back at her husband to see he was starting to wake up.
"Why's it so damn bright?" he groaned as he rubbed his eyes awake.
The second he opened his eyes, he was met with a pair of large Emerald Green eyes staring right at him.
"Holy Shit! Don't do that!" he jumped.
"Hehe- I'm sorry, I just couldn't help it. Did you have a good sleep last night? I know they did." Izuku notioned as she looked at the twins that were still asleep on his chest.
"Oh yeah, no wonder it felt like something was on my chest. Did you sleep okay?" he asked, not expecting to get a peck on the forehead right away.
"D-Deku-"
"Hmph, of course I sleep okay, because my husband made sure to protect me from the nightmares!" Izuku said happily.
Katsuki could only blush at her response that he couldn't take it anymore.
"Oi-"
"Hm?"
His face turned very serious as he stared up at her as he said;
"Hurry and get them off me so I can kiss you."
Just hearing his serious voice made the greenette's heart dance in her chest that she couldn't handle it and jumped off the bed.
"S-Sorry, I'm gonna make breakfast first!" she answered as she ran out of the room.
"Why you- Don't just leave me here with them! Come back here and let me kiss you!"
It seems the happy family life that Izuku always wanted is starting to blossom and it's all thanks to the help of her distant family trying to get in the way.
