so my younger cousin is flying in to visit from brazil on sunday, and will be staying here for like, the entirety of july. which, don't get me wrong, is super cool! i love the kid! but it felt like a super weird move, considering his parents are the SUPER strict and borderline helicopter parents. even the smallest prank/roughousing with him/his little sister would lead to a strict talking to from his parents, he couldn't ever do anything without their clear permission, that sort of stuff. so letting him fly at alone at 16 to a whole different country and stay there for a whole month seemed WILDLY out of character. additionally, it just felt like a super last-minute trip. it's not like we have any plans to do when he gets here, and the flight itself and stuff only got booked like, midway through june.
and i was talking to my mom about it, kind of trying to nudge some answers out of her, and after a while she went, "yeah, i think they're sending him over here to get away for his boyfriend. see if the distance breaks them off." which, first of all, surprised me because last i checked, they didn't KNOW he had a boyfriend. literally everyone in the family did EXCEPT for them because while that entire side of the family being semi-conservative, his parents (mostly his dad) are EXTREMELY old-fashioned. so clearly something already went wrong. and considering the only reason the rest of the family knew is because one person found out and it spread like wildfire, i have a sneaking suspicion he wasn't the one to tell them, either.
and second of all. they're sending him HERE. to try to make him forget his homosexuality. i couldn't do anything but just wordlessly gesture to the multiple pride flags scattered around my room, then to myself, because really? he has like two other cousins in the us and they're sending him to me? honey i am about to introduce this kid to queer scenes you have never even heard of. he'll be returning home with labels only shrimp can perceive

katsuki bakugou hates a lot of things
he hates people who walk slow, he hates people who chew loudly or people who talk loud in places they know damn well they shouldnât.
he hates when people walk on the back of his shoe and he hates idiots like kaminari who talk during movies.
but most of all, katsuki bakugou hates seeing you cry.
it sparks something in him, something red, hot and so angry when he finds you in your dorm. tears running down your cheeks that show no sign of stopping. he hates it even more when you make eye contact and you curl into yourself even more from where youâre sitting on the floor.
katsuki immediately decides this is the thing he hates the most.
heâs on you in seconds, kneeling in front of you, searching around to get a peek of your face hidden in your knees. he places his hands on top of yours where theyâre wrapped around your legs and his chest tightens when you flinch a little.
â who was it ? who did this to you ?â he canât recognize his own voice, his words come out so fast he barely registers what heâs saying.
you try to speak but nothing but more broken sobs and shaky breaths come out as you desperately try to catch your breath and katsuki realizes that you talking isnât a priority right now.
his eyebrows are furrowed and he almost looks angry but heâs so, so worried. if anything, heâs angry at himself for being so helpless, for not being able to help you in a time where you clearly need it.
he grabs your shoulder softly and the weight his chest lightens slightly when you lean a little closer to him, before letting him pull you tightly into his arms
âbreathe for me.â he utters softly, voice gruff and gravelly. he never actually talks this softly unless heâs around you, the difference is so stark it surprises him a little bit but heâs got more important things to think about. praise spills from him occasionally, muttering a âyou got it. i got youâ into your ear before pressing a kiss to your temple.
katsukiâs never really had to comfort anyone, heâs never felt the need to, but youâre not just anyone. your different, youâre his. his love his everything and heâll be damned if he didnât try his hardest for you.
youâve calmed down a little bit, he noticed. youâre breathings calmed down a little and your sobs have been reduced to snivels. the tightness in his lungs is still there, but itâs less now.
âwhatâs goinâ on with you, hm ?â youâre grip tightens on his arm and you shove your head deeper into his chest. he moves his head away from your shoulder so he can place two small kisses on the top of your head
âtalk to me, baby. needa know whatâs up with you.â he pleads into the crown of your head. you sigh before speaking up.
â i donât know whatâs up with me i just- itâs nothing bad iâmââ youâre desperately searching for the right words to use so what youâre about to say makes sense. âi just donâtâfeel like myself today. i donât know why, i just feel really bad today.â you let out a humorless chuckle and your voice dies out when you finish âmâsorry if i worried youâ you sniffle.
he shushes you, his grip on you tightens when he hears you whimper âdonât..donât fuckinâ apologize to me, got no reason to.â he spits. he sounds angry, and he is, why should you ever feel the need to apologize for feeling some type of way around him ?
âsâokay for you to feel that way..i do too, sometimes, you know ?â he knows you do. he knows you do because there are times where he comes to your room in tears, shaking and panicked. completely and utterly lost from the nightmares that had plagued him minutes before but knowing he had to come see you. you were there for him every time, gently soothing him and assuring him that heâd be okay. he owed it to you to do the same for you.
âsâokay to feel like shit sometimes, happens to the best of us.â he whispers â but you can always come to me when you do, can deal with it together. anâ donât go thinkinâ yer âbotheringâ me either.â he says, parroting what you had just told him. âweâre together for a reason, dummy.â heâs soft spoken and his voice is so mellow despite his harsh little nickname for you, you couldâve missed it if he wasnât sitting so close to you, it makes you a little dizzy and a little weaker in youâre already mushy knees.
he grabs your shoulders gently to get your eyes on him. theyâre still a little glossy but theyâre a little less dull when he looks at you â weâre in this together, always have been, always will be, got it ? â he asserts, waiting for your response. and then you smile at him, itâs faint but itâs there and katsuki feels like he can breathe again. he smiles back softly at you when you respond with a soft âokay.â
you suddenly grab onto him and pull him into you tightly, locking him in a tight embrace and squeezing like youâre pressing a lemon. it throws him off for a second before heâs squeezing you just as hard, pressing your body against his.
âthank you, katsuki. youâre the bestâ you hum. he presses a long lingering kiss to your temple as response, before squeezing around your waist â course i am.â he gloats. the smirk on his lips grows when you snort in response âwhatâre you laughing about, hah? donât think so? donât think iâm the best ?â he jests, using this as an opportunity to tickle you mercilessly. you kick and squirm but itâs no use, katsuki doesnât stop until youâre a heaving , giggling mess. tears in your eyes as you plead and beg for him to stop but he doesnât let up even when youâre laying on the ground with him on top of you.
â i ainât hearing what i wanna hear, you know what i want from you, baby.â he chuckles at the way you desperately gasp for breath, choking on your own spit in the process.
ây-youâre the ! the best, âsuki ! the b-bestest of the best !â you gasp out, pushing blindly at his face to get him away from you and he finally letâs you go. âfelt nice enough to let you off with a warning, wonât end well for ya if you try me again.â is what he says, playfully warning you and waving his finger around in your face. youâre completely out of breath, there are tears in your eyes again but theyâre happy tears this time and you still canât stop smiling and giggling as you try to bite at his finger and katsuki is more than happy with this.
because katsukiâs favorite thing is your smile.
