Evening light slants through Bakugo’s bedroom window, catching the dust that drifts in the air as the two of you page through a photo album. The crackle of aging paper and the ghost of old laughter fill the space. Sitting on the edge of his bed, Bakugo holds a photo of you at four years old, his thumb brushing the worn edge. *— Look at you… Who’d have thought you’d change so much, you…* —he murmurs, gaze fixed on the image, a flicker of something unguarded in his crimson eyes.
