the vacation

[1,377 words]

Katsuki Hated Traveling.

This was a known fact amongst the BakuSquad for years now, so whenever they all wanted to have a squad hang out, they traveled to him.

Eijiro was especially accommodating of this fact about his husband. Whenever their agency was called upon to assist on an away mission, Ei always made sure to head them up, and if anyone needed to be brought along it was labeled a ‘learning opportunity’ for their sidekicks.

Katsuki knew better, of course. He still hadn’t thanked his husband for it.

But…

Katsuki knew Eijiro better than himself most days, and he knew Ei was dying to go skiing with him. It was a trip his moms used to take him on every winter until graduation. Katsuki saw the skiing pages and travel accounts that Ei followed, living vicariously through the posted videos and pictures of the mountain powder.

They were approaching winter. Just two weeks ago, Eijiro had to take along two of their better sidekicks to assist on a mission that would have been easily handled by himself and Katsuki, if only Kats wasn’t averse to flying. Ei would never complain about the missions or ask what he knew Katsuki couldn’t give, but the dark bags under his eyes and the lengthy repair time to his costume spoke to its difficulty.

Katsuki simply didn’t like giving up control. At 26, he had never truely needed to—everything he could do on his own terms, he did. He decided when he was ready to confess to Eijiro, he decided when he was ready to open his own agency with his best friend and fiance, he decided what missions to accept.

Going with the flow was never his style to begin with, of course. The extreme aversion to it came with his first year at UA. Taken hostage by a suffocating sludge monster, kidnapped by their enemies, pressured to join the villains… if there was a way for Katsuki to avoid any chances of losing his control, he would always take that path.

He had decided to start seeing a psychologist his third year at UA. After the consistency of fight or flight situations began to dwindle, the amount of nightmares Katsuki experienced began to increase. He was reluctant to admit anything was wrong, of course, but he recognized that to be the number one hero he needed to be strong in every way possible–including mentally.

Truly, he had Eijiro to thank for that one. Everyone tried to knock some sense into Bakugo, tried to get him to see reason with this issue and recognize that, yes, he was struggling, and yes, it was okay to ask for help. Eijiro, however, repeatedly approached him with a kindness and openness on the subject that allowed Katsuki to recognise that if seeing a therapist was really, truly helping his best friend work through his own trauma and become a better hero all around, maybe it was okay for him to do so as well.

It had nothing to do with the fact that Katsuki had a soft spot for his best friend, not at all.

Since then, he and his therapist worked on coming to terms with what all happened to him, allowing himself to recognize the hurt and the trauma. Worked on moving forward from it. Slowly, the nightmares got less and less frequent, he was less skittish and less tense.

It had been about a year now since his last nightmare, and he and his therapist talked about doing a bit more exposure therapy with the control issues. Small things, to start–letting a barista choose his coffee for him, letting Ei plan his birthday celebration, letting his sidekicks take on small jobs without his supervision. Bit by bit, he was getting more comfortable letting others take over where he didn’t need to.

Looking out the window from where he sat in his office at the agency, he could almost feel the cool breeze rustling the leaves on the tree outside his window. He let out a big sigh, and opened a new tab on his browser to start looking for flights. He could plan for their trip to be in two weekends, from his rudimentary research into skiing locations and flights.

He spent another hour creating a rough itinerary for what a three day skiing weekend would look like (what, it was his company, he could do what he liked on company time), booking a resort, and getting flights. Outlining a trip made everything feel much more accessible.

Standing to leave, he doubled back to his desk and decided to call Quicklink into his office to let her know what he was planning. “Dynamight?” “Hey Link can you come in here for a sec?” “Sure boss, give me a sec.”

When he finished filling in his right hand sidekick on his plans, and getting cheered on for making them, he was feeling confident about his work, both for the actual agency and for his husband. Making his way home, he decided to pick up a few ingredients to make Eijiro and himself dinner.

By the time his husband arrived home (after taking some year 2 UA students out on a round with him) dinner was almost finished. Before the door even shut, a moan drifted into the kitchen before Eijiro did. “Katsss, it smells amazing in here. We haven’t had your spicy curry in forever, what’s the occasion?”

Hands slid around Katsuki’s waist and a kiss was placed on the nape of neck when he shrugged in return. “Oh no no, I know you, ‘Tsuki, what’s up.” The pitch of Eijiro’s voice dropped with question.

With a huff out his nose (and a smirk on his lips, his husband knew him too well,) he put the ladle he was holding down and spun in his husband’s grip. Looking up into Eijiro’s eyes, he clarified his shrug. “Nothing bad, Ei, don’t get yourself worked up. I have an idea, we’ll talk over food.”

Plates full and utensils set, they dug into their food. Eijiro repeated his groan. “Love, you need to start making this more again. Or teach me, I know it’s not the easiest dish and I would be happy-“ “Absolutely not. Last time you tried to make anything besides a simple breakfast..” Katsuki trailed off with a pointed stare. Eijiro grinned sheepishly at him. “Okay, okay, point taken. I still stand by my first point.” Katsuki snorted.

“So, I was thinking,” Katsuki started, finding the words he wanted to use to propose their vacation. “You usually are, Kats.” Ei poked him in the side to get him out of his head with a grin. With a glare, Katsuki continued, “I was thinking that we deserve a vacation.”

Eijiro lifted his eyes from where they were staring at his chopsticks holding another bite. “Yeah? You want to drive to the beach, or go camping where we went last time?” He popped his chopsticks into his mouth.

“No. I want to go skiing with you.”

Eijiro froze mid-chew. “Ski-“ “Finish your bite, you barbarian.” Katsuki chided, reminding his husband not to choke. Setting his chopsticks down, Eijiro leaned towards him. “Skiing? You know the resorts worth going to are best to fly to ‘Tsuki..” Katsuki nodded. “I know. I think I’m ready.”

Eijiro sat back, evaluating his husband. “You’re sure?” A nod. “You’ve thought this through, haven’t you?” Another nod. “And you’ve already bought the tickets and talked to Quicklink, huh?”

Damn his husband for knowing him so well.

He smiled. “I have.” His husband stood up, leaning over his chair, one hand on the table and the other on the backrest. Eijiro narrowed his eyes on his husband, evaluating. “You’re 100%, absolutely certain you want to do this?” Katsuki narrowed his back at Eijiro. “What do you think, Ei?”

After a beat, his husband broke out into a wide, toothy smile. Making sure Katsuki’s chopsticks were set down on the table, he grabbed his husband by the waist and lifted him out of his chair, spinning him around their living room. “You want to go skiing!” Katsuki couldn’t help a bubble of laughter escape him, stabilizing himself on Eijiro’s shoulders.

“Yes, yes, Ei, I want that to be our vacation.”

Can I request the fluff alphabet for Nikolai or Soap? So happy to hear you’re doing well, always look forward to your writing!

Hey there! Of course you can! And thank you! Glad to hear you enjoy my writing!

Fluff Alphabet for Soap

A ctivities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?

Soap definitely loves being out and about, so he’d love nothing more than to go outside with you and just do things there. It doesn’t even need to be anything terrific like hiking on top of a mountain, a walk in the park suffices for him as well. As long as he gets to spend time with you he’s all game. Though, beware: He will likely be touching you in some way the entire time. If it’s raining outside or the weather is bad otherwise then he’ll opt for cuddling on the bed or couch with you. He’s a touchy guy, the only time he’ll let up is when you need to use the bathroom. But even then he’ll whine to no end.

B eauty - What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?

He knows that he can’t be home for too long, so he definitely admires your patience with him. It takes quite a lot of it to date a soldier. Another thing he admires about you would be your loyalty and trust in him. He’s abroad for months at a time, but you don’t question his intentions, believing that he’ll stay with you. And that he will. Soap wouldn’t betray that trust. You don’t message him every time you’re being insecure about your relationship because there’s no need to be. Soap makes sure you feel loved and that you’re the only one.

C omfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?

He’d go about it in the same way he’d prefer to be handled during tough times. He, too, can be a patient man and will listen to your every woe, should you want to tell him about it. Although he may not have the best advice for everything, he’ll certainly try. If you want your favorite dish, he’ll cook it for you. If you just want to cry on his shoulder, he’ll let you while he holds you.

If you’re having a panic attack then he’d try to calm you down immediately, getting you away from whatever might be causing you even more distress. He’s learned a thing or two about calming down, so he’d just talk to you, distracting you from it all until you feel better. This guy has plenty of stories to tell, funny ones too. He’ll calmly talk to you, trying to not have his accent be as thick as it usually may be either so you can understand him.

D reams - How do they picture their future with their s/o?

He’s a more traditional man, so I can see him wanting to get married to you eventually. He dreams of the day he gets down on one knee, pulling out the little box with the ring in it and asking you the big question. Afterwards he’d love to have a dog with you. A rather big one as well, like a St. Bernard or a German Shepherd. Soap loves picturing the kind of future where his dog will lie on top of you while you try to get it off and complain to him about him taking pictures of it. He may love being a soldier, but he adores you and would do anything for you.

E qual - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?

He believes himself to be more dominant than he actually is. Sure, he can take on the role of being the more dominant person among the two of you, but he will step back as well if he needs to, or wants to. When it comes to your well-being, though, that’s when he’ll get very aggressive. Someone sleazebag is flirting with you? Soap’s won against plenty of people, so this fucker will be no exception. However, he can appreciate a suggestion you have made as well and will follow directions. Sometimes he does like letting you take the reigns as well, though.

F ight - Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?

It’s not very hard to annoy him, even if he can hold himself back usually. But when it all gets too much he’ll get a bit louder for a moment before going quiet. He’ll be passive aggressive the entire time, even if he won’t outright insult you. He knows when emotions are appropriate, so he can control them 80% of the time. Won’t insult you, won’t yell at you either, but he will hiss at you. Give him some time to cool down and think it all over and he’ll forgive and forget. If he’s in the wrong he’ll apologize, if you’re in the wrong he won’t forget as easily without an apology, but he’ll forgive.

G ratitude - How grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their s/o is doing for them?

Yes, he’s very aware of what you’re doing for him. It’s not a given that someone as wonderful as you stays with him, even less so that you do what you do for him. He’s very grateful and will show such as well. Gives you chocolates and flowers, will take you on dates and outings, will do whatever he can to pay those favors back as well. He loves you and you should know that, so he will cling to you like a koala. Either that or he’ll help you with the chores when he’s not as tired anymore after deployment. Either way, you won’t be alone with doing the chores while he’s around.

H onesty - Do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?

There’s plenty of things he doesn’t tell you, actually. Sure, there are some confidential missions he can’t tell you about, so there’s always that. However, he still does have some pride, so he won’t always tell you when he’s in pain either. He can take it like a man, no need to bother you with that sort of thing. He’s also pretty good at hiding his injuries and how much pain he’s in, if it isn’t too overwhelming. But other than that he’s a pretty honest guy and will tell you just about anything. You deserve to know everything about him, but likewise he expects you to be honest and open with him as well. A relationship can only truly prosper with communication.

I nspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?

I think you would likely be able to help him with calming down a bit and finding a purpose in life that wasn’t being a soldier. He’s always been an active guy with a knack for chemistry and weaponry, so he wanted to put that knowledge to good use. However, ever since he’s gotten with you he realized that not everything needs to be about work or war. He can definitely appreciate the smaller things with you, like receiving a flower crown from you. You make his life more worthwhile and he finally has something to look forward to that isn’t just work. He has someone to come home to, and that’s worth a lot in his eyes.

J ealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?

It depends on the person stealing your attention. If it’s, say, Ghost, then he doesn’t mind as much since he knows Ghost has no ill intentions with you. But if it’s some random person then he definitely gets jealous if you spend too much time with them. Starts brooding and getting closer to you, wrapping an arm around you, maybe even kissing your cheek while he’s at it. If it was appropriate, he would growl at the person as well, trying to get them to go away. You’re his and no one else’s. Doesn’t apologize for his behavior either, if he’s jealous then he’s jealous, and that’s that. You’re more than welcome to act the same way with him as well, by the way.

K iss - Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?

He’s not too bad at kissing. Soap has had a few high school sweethearts, so he’s definitely kissed before and takes it easy. He wasn’t particularly stressed out about your first kiss together either and just let it happen. Although he was being cheesy and asked you to close his eyes before he kissed you. It was a gentle kiss since he wasn’t too sure if you truly liked him the way he likes you and he didn’t want to make you too uncomfortable. But when you told him you felt the same way he quickly gave you another kiss.

L ove Confession - How would they confess to their s/o?

I don’t think he’d make too much of a fuss about it. He’d take you to a nice park on a nice day, maybe have a picnic with you and then casually ask you if you wanted to be a thing together. It’s not too bad if you say no, even if he’d be crushed, but he could just play it off and continue the picnic and be friends with you. Would love to watch the clouds go by while lying on the blanket with you. That’s also when he might confess to you.

M arriage - Do they want to get married? How do they propose? What would the marriage be like?

Yes, he definitely wants to get married. He wants nothing more than to have a spouse to come home to. With you wearing an apron, asking him if he wants dinner, a bath or you first. It’s cliched, but he’d melt if you ever called him honey. I think he’d think his proposal through, though. It’s important to him, but he still wants the day to be fun, so he might take you to an amusement park and propose to you on the ferris wheel, sincerely hoping it stops while you’re on top and can view the entire city. The marriage would be sweet, he’d be even more doting on you. Would proudly introduce you as his spouse.

N icknames - What do they call their s/o?

Although they’d start out as a joke where he would mimic those embarrassingly sweet couples calling each other embarrassingly sweet things, he’d eventually take a liking to things such as pumpkin, pudding, or cutie pie. Naturally, there’s also things like babe and baby. If he can reference a stupid meme, he will. You’re also his silly little rabbit, no matter how much you dislike that nickname.

O n Cloud Nine - What are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?

It’s somewhat obvious to others. Soap is much more inclined to gravitate towards you and try to spend as much time with you as possible. He likely also won’t leave you alone unless you ask him to. He becomes much more chatty with you and brags about his accomplishments as well. Might even flex for you, even if it’s cringe. You need to realize how strong and awesome he is. Also does you a lot of favors, you don’t need to repay him. See? Isn’t he just the ideal guy? Isn’t he just so dateable?

P DA - Are they upfront about their relationship? Do they brag with their s/o in front of others? Or are they rather shy to kiss etc. when others are watching?

If it was up to him either one of you would be holding the other at any point in time. He’s not afraid to show the world you’re a thing, he will brag about you to everyone willing to listen. Even if he’s being called embarrassing, he’ll just keep on going. The world needs to know just how lovely you are, that you’re the best partner anyone could have ever asked for. Kisses you in public, hugs you in public, cuddles you in public. If you’re comfortable with it.

Q uirk - Some random ability they have that’s beneficial in a relationship.

He’s a very observant guy, so he’ll almost always know what’s up just by watching you for a bit. You’re happy? You’re sad? You’re mad? Don’t worry, he can pretty accurately gauge your emotional well-being just by watching you for a bit. Does what he needs to do to either cheer you up or keep you happy afterwards.

R omance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?

He’s somewhere in the middle. While he may not be the most romantic person out there, he does dream of kissing you under the moonlight and dance with you then and there as well. When it comes to making you happy he’d do just about anything. You want a cat? You want some cuddles? You want him to kill that guy for you? Just ask for it, you’ll receive whatever you want, you’re his partner and therefore very important to him. He tries to get a bit more creative with what he gifts you and actively searches for things online. But usually he just settles for showing you Scotland. His country is important to him as well, so he hopes you can appreciate it as much as he appreciates you. He means well, he’s just very easily excited about it.

S upport - Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?

Oh, definitely. It doesn’t matter what your goal may be, he’ll do what he can to help you achieve it. You wanna work out? He’ll go to the gym with you. You wanna get better mentally? He’s there, cheering you on every step of the way. You wanna be independent? He has connections, you’ll get your dream job and dream pay, don’t even worry about it. As long as you let him help you, he will. And even if you refuse his help he will somehow weasel himself in anyway and help you out, even if you won’t ever know about it.

T hrill - Do they need to try out new things to spice out your relationship? Or do they prefer a certain routine?

Although repetition can be a nice thing, he does prefer having something new every once in a while. Sometimes he wants to see another country with you, sometimes he wants to try new foods with you, sometimes he just wants to watch a new movie with you. It doesn’t always need to be the most exciting thing with you, even the small things suffice, but he needs something new. The same routine every time bores him to death and annoys him as well. Again, something small will suffice for some time, but then it’s definitely time for a vacation away from it all.

U nderstanding - How good do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?

He likes to think he knows you quite well by now. He can remember things very well too, so if you ever mention a fun fact about yourself, chances are he’ll remember it forever. If you ever want something, no matter how small it is, Soap will remember and you’ll get it eventually. He’s also an empathetic person. He sees you and feels what you’re feeling, at least to some degree. Probably not with the same intensity that you do, but he tries to understand you.

V alue - How important is the relationship to them? What is it’s worth in comparison to other things in their life?

His relationship with you is very important to him, as important as his friendship with Ghost, Gaz and Price. The four of you are the most important people in his life, along with his family, and he’d do anything to keep you safe and happy. He does hope that you can get along with the other three as well, though.

W ild Card - A random Fluff Headcanon.

Has probably tried to serenade you before. His voice is by no means bad, but it’s his accent that makes you giggle. He does lay it on extra thick as well when singing I’m Gonna Be just to hear you laugh a bit. He mostly just sings to you to hear your giggles and see you smile, but he does like singing and whistling to himself when he’s alone.

X OXO - Are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?

Yes. Soap loves nothing more than holding you close whenever he can, especially if you haven’t seen each other in months. When he’s tired you can be certain he’ll be all over you the entire time until he falls asleep. And even then he has an iron grip on you so you won’t escape him. He’s a human furnace as well, so while it may be pleasant in winter, it’s hell in summer. But that’s the worst part about him, he doesn’t mind being sweaty as long as he gets to cuddle you. He’s used to being sweaty anyway, he can just shower it off, but he needs to hold you or else he’ll combust.

Y earning - How will they cope when they’re missing their partner?

Whenever he can, he’ll text or call you. He knows it’s not always the time for such a thing, but he’ll do it anyway. Sometimes, he’ll call you just to hear your voice and fall asleep to it. He imagines himself doing all the domestic things to you he can’t do in the moment, it helps him fall asleep when his heart is aching for you yet again. Sometimes, when he’s just on base and not necessarily being deployed, he’ll steal a plushie from you and take it with him, cuddling it in your stead at night. It does help him sleep better.

Z eal - Are they willing to go to great lenghts for the relationship? If so, what kind of?

Soap would literally kill and die for you. He has this sense of camaraderie to him, and that extends to you as well. He’d fight for you, he’d take a severe hit for you. Anything to make sure you’re alright . Soap is loyal to a fault, so even just someone looking at you the wrong way warrants a fight, in his eyes. You’d need to remind him that none of this is necessary, that you’ll be alright and then he’ll calm down. But don’t you ever think that this man won’t blow up entire buildings just to watch you smile. He’ll make his own explosives as well, if he needs to.
