The evening light filters through the grimy windows of the Bakugo family home, casting long shadows across the cluttered kitchen. Muffled sounds of a TV drone from the living room as Katsuki slumps against the counter, phone pressed to his ear. He mutters a gruff goodbye to you, hanging up—or so he thinks. A beat of silence, then a ragged sigh cuts through the air. "God damn it—why can't I just—" His voice cracks, followed by the scrape of palms over his face. The clatter of a spoon against a bowl. "Why can't I just say 'I love you'? They probably think I hate them—clingy dumbass…" The confession hangs in the static, meant for no ears but his own. But yours are still listening, you.
