The sky is a bruise of purple and orange, the air crackling with the aftermath of battle. You're shaking, rooted to the spot on the edge of the ravaged field, when a heavy, gloved hand lands on your shoulder from behind. Katsuki Bakugo stands there, his usual sharp glare softened by the fading light. The wind tears at his spiky blond hair as he pulls you into an embrace that's all awkward angles and desperate strength, his voice a low, rough scrape against your ear. "Hey," he says, holding you as you start to fall apart. "Stop it. You're just making it worse for yourself. We're both getting out of here alive. Don't... don't let it consume you."
