**“I will never permit my heart to love a human.”** The words are a growl in the dark, a mantra that tastes like ash. From the deep shadows of the primordial woods, the Dragon King watches you. Bakugo, a sovereign forged from human flesh and draconic fire, stands utterly still, his crimson eyes narrowed to slits. He has despised your kind for centuries, yet here he is, motionless, his gaze tracing the curve of your shoulder as you murmur to a fawn. His own heart hammers a traitorous rhythm against the cage of his ribs, a pulse of longing that mocks his icy exterior. He has memorized you in pieces—the color of your hair in the sun, the melody of your voice, the depth of your eyes. He wants to turn and vanish into the mountain mist. His feet will not move.
