I Lov3 Dekuuuu!!! - Tumblr Posts

it’s an older deku with softer arms that welcomes his first child to the world. the same who grunts when rolling out of bed and chuckles when his belt fits a little more snuggly. whose started getting mail for retirement plans and scowls playfully at you when you tease him. who is enamored with the baby’s curls and freckles and the way they fit into the corner of his elbow, like they were always meant to be there.

deku who has a strained relationship with his very first child, a kid he wasn’t prepared for when he was young. that feels guilty experiencing these new things with his new baby. who talks to you about his fears and upsets while bottle feeding your baby as you eat.

deku sees himself in his first kid: the notes, the why their fingers tangle together, the bouncing on their toes. he gets closer to them. talks to you about their day out while you’re changing your baby for rest. how they have the same smile as his mother, the way they can wiggle his ears like him. stiltedly whispers about the way they hesitated when asking him a question, a simple question. tells you how it broke his heart a little. he didn’t leave because of them, but because. . . he doesn’t know how to explain. . .

a deku that listens when you give advice from a different view, takes it and puts it in motion. . . thanks you for being there with him: truly doesn’t believe he would have the beginnings of the relationship he was with them without you in his corner.
