AN: How did we end up at the finish line so fast? It just feels like yesterday that I uploaded the first chapter.

Thank you all so much for the lovely reviews! It puts a big smile on face whenever I read the reaction you guys have towards each and every chapter.

This story has been by far my longest-running fic. Just twenty chapters of self-indulgent Kacchako fluff that has been fun to share with the world. This fic was meant to show another dynamic to their relationship and just overall be a fun high school-centric, teen romance.

It's always hard to say goodbye to a story that you've poured nothing but love into telling but I hope that you've all enjoyed the emotional roller coaster ride from beginning to end!

Now onto my next passion project: Just Friends, Right?

Enough of my ramblings and happy reading~ :)

A Tsundere's Heart

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

BOOM!

A loud explosion rattles and moves the earth beneath him.

He feels the vibrations on the orange soles of his boots.

Watches with wide scarlet eyes as a petite woman goes spinning mid-air in a mix of pink, black, and white. A pissed off grumble starts forming in his throat, all the colorful cuss words he can come up forming in his head, hands burning red-hot, ready to pop off.

"That's my fuckin' wife, asshole!" he roars, sharp canines grinding as he spits. Rolling his shoulder blade, he tries to ignore the small piece of metal shrapnel that pierced his skin, "now you've done it!" he yells as his eyes scan their surroundings, switching from checking if she'll get up on her own and if the villain they're facing will strike again, "prepare to die, motherfu–"

He gets interrupted when he feels an even bigger vibration disturbing his stance. Staggering, he holds his arms to his sides away from his body to regain his balance.

The villain with his dynamite quirk, drops his weapon to the ground that he was using to hone in his attacks. His own eyes are turned wide, his mouth hangs open as his feet turn, ready to flee.

"I ain't done with you!" Katsuki threatens as he holds his grenadier bracer, flicking his thumb and pointer finger ready to blast him with his signature A.P. shot.

"I-I-I SURRENDER, GROUND ZERO! PLEASE, JUST TAKE ME IN!" the villain cowards, dropping to his knees, arms held up high.

"What the –" Katsuki raises a confused brow.

What the hell just happened?

His question gets answered the second the blond baby hairs on the base of his neck tingle, feeling a great aura coming off from behind him as a looming shadow grows closer. Slowly, he turns around as his eyes widen when he comes into view with a massive ball of debris hovering above them.

Further away, he finds Uravity, hunched over panting heavily, barely on her feet, blood dripping from her head, soot covered chubby cheeks but wearing the most shit-eating grin that makes his heart swell on her pretty pink lips.

God, he loves her.

Her hands are busy concentrating on keeping control of her object as Katsuki falls over onto his ass and just howls in laughter. "Shit, babe, you're scary when you're mad!"

"No one messes with my husband!" she sweetly yells, her tone laced with venom.

In that moment, the young twenty-three-year-old couple forget that their villain take-down was live on tv for the entire nation to see.

XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX

"Ahh… dammit… I fucked up" Katsuki groans.

Coming out of his steamy shower, he plops down on his shared bed in only a towel not caring that his damp droopy hair is soaking the covers.

After the battle, the field medics made sure that both heroes were fine. Katsuki received three staples to help close the small wound he received. Ochako was only bandaged and given a heat pad for her sore back to his immense relief.

Ground Zero and Uravity took the thug into custody. Spending the day filling out reports and making sure the villain was sorted into the appropriate facility. After all the tedious details that comes with being a pro hero – they rarely ever mentioned this aspect of the job during their high school years; they were finally freed to go home and rest.

Since they both had taken on a big case like this for their own respected agencies – hunting down and dealing with an arson villain who was dealing with selling explosives in the black market on the side. They were allowed a week's worth of recuperation for their heroic acts only due to the fact that they had received injuries.

Ochako went onto working under Thirteen's guidance meanwhile Katsuki chose a newer hero, Miruko, to work for. Both agreeing that while they were married, they had their own aspirations when it came to being a hero. They got to see each other from time to time depending on the case and overall their different work schedules allowed them space so that their relationship didn't grow stale. It made them look forward to friday's and the weekends when they could truly spend quality time together.

"Don't take all the blame, I'm at fault too… I was just so fired up…" Ochako, tucking her towel into itself, walks over and sits down next to him on their bed.

All day their phones have been going off like crazy from their friends.

After they had graduated and settled into their very first apartment, Ochako chose to accept Katsuki's proposal. She told him that they didn't need to wait because she already knew in her heart that he was the only one for her. Ever.

Katsuki has never been the type to jump up in joy and exaggerate his feelings so he agreed with a simple nod and wide grin. Once every mover's box had found a place in their new apartment, the couple went to city hall and just signed a new family registry.

Like a snap of a finger, Ochako Uraraka became Ochako Bakugou.

They had done it in secrecy, only Katsuki bluntly texting his parents on the day of.

Ochako hesitated for a few weeks to finally come clean and tell her own parents that she had gotten married recently.

They decided on this method for the fact that Ochako reasoned with him that they didn't have much money to go off on. They couldn't afford anything grand that could cater to their friends and extended family. Katsuki absolutely refused asking for his parents help so as their first serious couple problem – they settled it, coming to the same agreement.

Nothing much changed after they got married but it still didn't stop Ochako from being giddy. Her lips would tingle anytime she introduced Katsuki as her husband to their new neighbors. Katsuki always wore a proud smug smile on his lips whenever he'd show off his young wife to his new co-workers.

"We're both idiots…" Katsuki can't help but chuckle.

"Yeah, we sure are" Ochako giggles, laying down next to his side.

Their bare shoulders touching as they stare into each other's exhausted eyes.

"I love you"

"I love you, too"

A buzz, a ring, and one cheesy pop tune of a ringtone sounded off in their room interrupting their little moment.

"Make your phone stop, Angel-Face" he complains, ready to knock out in his towel alone. He wasn't going to deal with his own phone anytime soon, opting to putting it on silent and hoping the battery would die or his friends would give up trying to reach him for the night.

He knows Ochako can't for the life of her just ignore their friends, especially her best friend Deku.

She takes his phone along with her own to scroll through the bombardment of texts.

(Katsuki's phone – Eijirou) Ahh! I so knew it! Congrats, Bro!

(Ochako's phone – Mina) Why wasn't I invited?! I thought you loved me! Still love ya!

(Katsuki's phone – Izuku) Wow! Congrats, Kacchan! And if you're reading this Ochako - I'm so happy for you!

(Ochako's phone – Tenya) I'm sorry I did not know about your relationship. Many congratulations to you and Bakugou-kun!

(Katsuki's phone – Denki) Yo! Wtf, since when are you and Uraraka a thing! We could've gone to a strip club to celebrate!

(Ochako's phone – Tsuyu) I had a feeling about you two but didn't want to be wrong, kero. I'm happy for you, Ochako-chan.

(Katsuki's phone – Hanta) Aww, I didn't know about you and Uraraka but I'm happy for you, Katsuki! Congrats, man!

(Ochako's phone – group message from Kyouka, Momo, and Toru) Wow, we're still shocked that you're married to Bakugou but we're so happy for you! Let's all get together soon!

(Katsuki's phone – Mina) Thanks a lot for the invite, jerk! Congrats! Love ya, and remember – make me an auntie soon, k?

Ochako's fingers fumble on the last text Katsuki's phone received from Mina.

Kids! They've never brought up that subject before. Maybe once when Ochako confessed that she wanted to try drinking. Katsuki kept telling her it wasn't that exciting and didn't feel like babysitting her in case her quirk started floating things all over their apartment. In the end, he obliged and bought them a bottle of red wine because he wasn't about to deal with her throwing up beer.

Through sips of the sweet and semi-bitter grape drink, Ochako commented on this mother of three she had saved and how she just fell in love with their adorable faces. One child had even given her a strawberry bon-bon candy as thanks.

Katsuki kept quiet, telling her that, that was nice of the kid to do. She braced herself once they fell into complete silence to ask him if he's ever put any thought into them having a family of their own. He grunts and grows awkward, staring at his glass of dark wine in his hands instead of at her.

He bites his lower lip hard enough that he almost draws blood and tells her that he would want to give her a family but he's terrified of messing up because he's no good with kids. Children feared him even when he was trying to be helpful. Yeah, he's had some experience dealing with rowdy brats as practice exercises for tests and drills at the academy but outside of those controlled environments – he knows he's no good. Especially if the kid was his own, he was scared of ruining their life or having his kid grow up hating him.

Ochako instantly sobered up from her tiny buzz, setting both their glasses aside to hold his hands. She squeezes his callous hands and tells him that he isn't some horrible monster. She's scared too but what first-time parent wouldn't be? She shares the same hopes and dreams as him, softly reassuring him that he shouldn't shoulder all his burdens alone because they're in this together.

She lifts his held hands and kisses his inner palms, placing his hands gently on top of her flat stomach. She tells him that someday, she wants to carry his child and for them both to try their hardest to be the best parents to their little one that they can be. Because together, they can conquer anything.

"Ochako… let's go to bed" Katsuki says through closed eyes, feeling his aching body crying for sleep.

She bites her inner cheek, contemplating on that last text message. They've been heroes for a few years now, moving up the ranks to pro status a little over two years ago. They're earning a whole lot more now and they both love their cozy two-bedroom apartment. The second room was currently used as office space but she wouldn't mind converting it into a nursery… and Katsuki's twenty-fourth birthday is just right around the corner…

Sure, they first started off living paycheck to paycheck but look at how far they've come. A baby wouldn't stop them from working hard in everything they already do. They've accomplishment so much both individually and as a young married couple.

Ochako crawls two fingers around his taut stomach, circling his navel region before moving her hand a little further down. Along the way, her fingers slide the waterdrops away. "Katsuki… are you really that tired?" she lowers her voice as her fingers hook under the top of his towel wrapped around his waist.

Katsuki peeks one eye open, "what do you want?" he feigns indifference, acting like he's not in the mood just so they can go to bed for once at a respectable hour.

"You" she simply says, knowing that the second he even responded that she's getting what she wants.

"It's been awhile" she adds just to urge his participation in her seduction. It's not so much of seducing when her husband is already weak to her whims.

"Tch" he grunts, "we've got a whole damn week off to fuck around…" he's trying his best to ignore her hands from loosening his towel.

"Yeah but I want you now," she pauses to adjust her position, getting up to straddle his thighs.

He instinctively grabs hold of her hips and keeps her from sitting further up. "My arm hurts like a bitch. Let's… go to bed"

She watches him struggle with his words as he gulped. It was an indicator that he was one-hundred percent lying to her. He just didn't want to admit defeat.

"We've done it when you've been bruised and banged up even worse than now" she crosses her arms under her breasts to try and lure him over the edge.

He knows he can't keep up the façade any longer and instantly gives up. "Woman, you're needy as hell" he rolls his eyes while slipping one hand under her towel.

"Thank you!" she leans over and pecks his cheek with a bright smile.

Now if only she could remember if she's taken her birth control or not…

The End~ Done. :)

All good things must eventually come to an end. I know, I know.

/Huddles together for a good ol' fashion cry.

When I read a small snippet of a translated interview between Nobuhiko Okamoto and Ayane Sakura (Bakugou and Uraraka's Japanese seiyuus) regarding their character's relationship – they said how Bakugou would be strong against Deku but weak to Uraraka because she'd have the upper hand. And also commenting on how Ochako would tease Katsuki but not sure if it was intentional/accidental. Haha. Oh man, I had a moment when I read that. It's always fun getting to see a seiyuu's view on their own characters and what their personal opinions on certain dynamics are.

Again – a huge thank you to those who stuck around until the very end. To those that took a liking to my story telling and writing. I aim to write quality fics, stories that I, myself can read over and over again.

With times changing, I can't help but to feel discouraged sometimes whenever I see that other platforms such as AO3 and Tumblr are the preferred for fanfics… so, from the bottom of my heart – thank you for reviewing/favoriting/following this fic and showing me that you as the readers out there are genuinely interested.

Even though this fic is now completed – please don't be afraid to continue showing it love!

Until next time! :D

If anyone is afraid to leave reviews due to language difference - please don't be! I can fluently read Spanish and partial French! :) And hey, that's why Google translate was invented after all! LOL.

So ya know the drill! Tell me what ya think! ;D
