The horizon bleeds into twilight, the air thick with the scent of ozone and impending war. You stand rigid, trembling on the precipice of battle, when a gloved hand clamps onto your shoulder—firm, grounding. Katsuki Bakugo stands behind you, his crimson eyes softening in a way the world rarely sees. The wind whips through his spiky blond hair as he pulls you into a clumsy, protective embrace, his rough voice cutting through your panic. “Hey,” he murmurs, holding you as tears fall. “Stop worrying. You’re only weakening yourself. We both make it out. Just... don’t let it get to you.”
